Chapter 244
What kind of marriage agreement, or the secret marriage contract between the two countries, has never been made public at all, this kind of clumsy strategy to delay the army everyone understands, according to the current national strength of Western Qin, this equivalent to a perfunctory marriage letter should make them more and more annoyed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info If Xiqin has the heart to deal with Dongxing, this marriage letter will also become an excellent reason to send troops, which is enough to bite back against Dongxing's slackness.
Emperor Dongxing seems to be a compromise move, but in fact he is using the entire Dongxing as a test, he just wants to see what idea Western Qin has, no matter whether Dongxing has a foreign disaster or not, he will not easily compromise with Western Qin. If you want to marry his daughter, you have to wait patiently, his daughter is not a tool of politics, and she will not marry easily. If you don't want to wait, then tear your true face apart and have a scuffle.
Relieved from his ecstasy, the man felt that his father-in-law's move was a little unexpected, although he had to need a promise that reassured him, but his father-in-law was obviously stimulated by something else, and he responded to Daqin's persecution with a mentality that was almost jade-burning.
This does not bode well.
"Master, now that you have obtained the marriage agreement, do you want to leave for China to prepare for the marriage?" Nie Ziling had been observing the man's expression from the sidelines, and decided not to give Gui Jiu, who was a sycophant, any chance, and spoke first.
Gui Jiu is a secret guard, and he will not show up easily when he is in Western Qin, so he has not even changed his appearance and name since he came to Dongxing, and he is not afraid of being recognized by others. He didn't compete with Nie Ziling either, he didn't say a word very low-key, waiting for his master's reaction.
The man shook his head, but it was not to Nie Ziling, the marriage may be decided, and there may be complications, which will not be known until a long time later. At present, he is not very at ease with Han Ye's father and son, and Han Ye's attitude towards his wife is also very suspicious, he loves him so deeply, but he is so estranged, and what is the origin of Mo Yu, who was framed by him and committed a capital crime, all these mysteries may be solved in the near future.
Nothing can happen for no reason, and he accidentally ruined the conspiracy that some people had painstakingly managed, and I don't know whether it was fortunate or unfortunate.
After a long time, Nie Ziling waited for the man's reply: "Emperor Dongxing asked you to give this marriage letter to me quickly, and you ordered someone to do it." It's just that since Daqin promised Dongxing to help when necessary, then, as Dongxing's envoy, you should also stay as a hostage. The two countries have intersected with each other, and they have always had no evidence, and they should rest assured that they are risking their lives here. β
After finishing speaking, the man glanced at Nie Ziling again: "Naturally, if you want to be a hostage, your weight is not enough, relying on the prestige of the Nie family in Hanoi, it is better than nothing." β
White flowers exploded above Nie Ziling's head, and he was so stimulated by his master that he wanted to be killed by his head, and he was not qualified to be a hostage, this is his Nie Ziling's situation! Embarrassed and indignant, I have to say yes, Nie Ziling forced a smile and retreated, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the sycophant Gui Jiu snickering, and his heart was even more tearful, hating Bo Xiang, who was far away in Chang'an.
Thinking that he Nie Ziling was twenty years old, how good it would be to be a palace chef, but he tossed himself into this barbarian land that he was not familiar with, not to mention anything else, just talk about Dongxing's dishes, he is not used to eating them at all! He didn't like the climate in Dongxing at all, the winter was wet and cold, and it was cold to the bones......
If Emperor Dongxing is unhappy, or his master is unsatisfactory, the unlucky one may be his Nie Ziling. The head of this necklace hung on the city tower, and he himself had no power to take it off.
As a secret guard, his psychological quality is naturally good, even if Nie Ziling shed countless wide-faced tears, and his eyes were sad to die or live, Gui Jiu still smiled and asked tentatively: "Master, is this reluctant to Princess Jing?" Princess Jing grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she can't compare to the common people to suffer, and Queen Situ is so powerful, how can Princess Jing be wronged? She loves her master in her heart, and sadness is inevitable, but after a long time, it will naturally fade, and at that time, the master and Princess Jing will continue to be happy. β
Saying that, every sentence is also in the man's heart, but in the end, it is the itching of the boots, which cannot solve the man's worries, he no longer thinks about this, and diverts his attention and says: "King Jinyang should enter the city now, keep an eye on them, and Han Ye, I want to know all their movements." β
β¦β¦
The queue under the banner of the king of Jinyang of the outer domain came neatly from the official road in the north, and at the moment when the horse's hooves stepped on the Shengjing boundary monument, the king of Jinyang closed his eyes on his back and took a deep breath......
The taste of Jiangnan that has been lost for a long time.
Nie Ziling was used to staying in Chang'an, so he didn't like the climate of Shengjing, but if he had experienced the persecution of the Great Northwest Wind and Frost Sword, he was afraid that he would fall in love with the long but not violent cold in the winter in the south of the Yangtze River.
Cold. Clammy. But there was no dryness that carried the wind and sand all the way to the throat.
King Jinyang is wrapped in a heavy body, and he does not look bloated, he is standing high on the horse, his waist and back are straight, it is the unique momentum of the side general, tough and tough, and he is blown by the wind and sand of the northwest of eight hundred miles into a tall posture.
Along the way, the scenery along the way is no longer the appearance in memory, eighteen years have passed, the landscape is ruthless, who still remembers the original Pianpian boy?
Driving the horse behind the King of Jinyang was his third son, Han Bei. The same age as Bai Lijing. He has never been to Jiangnan, and he still has full curiosity about the plants and trees in Jiangnan on his face, and he is not like Han Ye's self-control all the time, his joy and anger are colorful, arrogant and casual.
From a distance, he saw people lining up at the city gate to greet him, Han Bei stared at the official uniforms of those people, and then said angrily: "Father, you are stationed in the border fortress, you have worked hard, and you exterminated the Turkic scourge a few months ago, and for the first time in eighteen years, you returned to Beijing to report on your work, and the emperor did not come to greet you in person, which is really hateful!" β
The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, not to mention such a trivial matter as not leaving the palace to greet him? If such rebellious words are heard, they will surely cause great disaster.
However, King Jinyang did not reprimand Han Bei, as if what he said was right, and the mount under him did not stop, moving forward with a completely calm face. Seeing that his father was like this, Han Bei couldn't say anything more, so he shut up in disgust.
Due to the recent complicated state affairs, it is really not suitable to do drama and song and dance, the errand of the master of ceremonies is very leisurely, Li Shu is happy, but he doesn't want his old immortal to see him leisurely, and he ordered him to come here to welcome the king of Jinyang back to Beijing.
Caught in a group of old ministers, those who don't recognize it, twitter and mutter, annoying. Li Shu really didn't want to stay here, he wanted to leave, and he was afraid that his old immortal would trouble him, I don't know how long he waited, and he yawned again and again, and someone shouted excitedly: "Coming, coming!" β
Everyone looked up at this shout, and it was a little far away, and Li Shu's eyes were not so good, and he only saw a team of people in the distance, and his appearance was not clear at all. Judging from the sound of the horse's hooves and the smoke and dust blowing from the tuyere, the king of Jinyang did not bring many people back to Beijing, nor did he drive nervously, and the horses did not move forward quickly or slowly, which satisfied their appetite.
Li Shu suddenly became interested, the appearance and appearance of Han Ye were all superior, and no one in the entire Shengjing City and even the entire Daxing Kingdom could stand out. I heard that the Han family is all beautiful men, and King Jinyang must not be bad, maybe he looks better than Han Ye.
Li Shu would have been impatient if he had to wait and wait on official business, but if he had to wait for something else, he would have found it quite interesting. The queue got closer and closer, Li Shu probed his brain in the crowd, refused to let go of the opportunity to spy on the beauty, squeezed the old minister in front of him, turned around and said dissatisfied: "Li Gongzi, what are you in a hurry?" King Jinyang doesn't recognize you! β
Of course, he was telling the truth, King Jinyang left Shengjing City back then, and he didn't know how old he was. Li Shu smiled on his face, but he smiled in his heart, King Jinyang didn't recognize him, an unknown junior, but after eighteen years, his old man may not recognize these old guys, right? The years are unforgiving, he has grown from a child to the age he is now, do these old guys still expect to be as young and beautiful as eighteen years?
No matter how long the road is, it always has to come to an end, Li Shu, who was full of excitement, couldn't help but open his mouth wide when he saw King Jinyang for the first time at close range, this ...... This is the legendary King of Jinyang?
Li Shu calculated, King Jinyang's age would not be older than his family's old immortal, perhaps, even younger, however...... The king of Jinyang is already full of silver hair. Li Shu's brows were twisted into pimples, and he was happy that King Jinyang was a young white head, but it didn't seem to be very similar, a less white head should be a family tradition, and he didn't see Han Ye with white hair.
Li Shu had some bad taste, didn't look around, just stared at the bundle of white hair...... He really didn't find a trace of black, so he moved his gaze to the face of King Jinyang, and couldn't understand why this vassal king had just passed the age of not being confused, and why he was already old like this.
However, seeing the face of King Jinyang, Li Shu felt even more uncomfortable. The legendary handsome is still there, and he is somewhat similar to Han Ye's appearance, but there is a lot more heaviness that has gone through vicissitudes of life. From this bewildering handsome face, you can imagine how graceful King Jinyang was when he was young.
However, Li Shu has some delicate thoughts that ordinary men do not have, and in contrast, he thinks that the hair color is not as good as the human face, and the old age of the human face is related to the years, but the hair color is not, I heard that extreme sorrow and pain can make people turn white overnight. The king of Jinyang is not old, and his hair is white first, and there must be a reason for it.
Just as Li Shu was staring at the face of King Jinyang, thinking about the reasons for all kinds of gray hair, suddenly a cold gaze swept towards him, Li Shu shivered firmly, trembled twice, and almost knelt down for him in that sharp edge.
Li Shu hurriedly lowered his head, and no longer dared to be presumptuous to the King of Jinyang, as the only foreign surname vassal king in the entire Daxing Kingdom, how could Han Xing, the king of Jinyang, allow people to blaspheme? If he wanted to cut off Li Shu's eyes on the spot, he would have to obediently offer his eyes, and it would be strange if he dared to say something.
Fortunately, the old guys around him relieved the siege of Li Shu, and the old immortal of his family, especially the first person who lived, diligently reported his name and surname, and the others did the same, and then conveyed the meaning of Emperor Jingyuan, saying that a banquet had been set up in the palace for the king of Jinyang to receive the wind and wash the dust.
When the men and horses of the King of Jinyang entered the city gate, and their group got into the carriage, rode in a sedan chair or led the way, or followed behind, Li Shu was able to breathe a sigh of relief and wipe sweat on his forehead.
It's too evil, why was he glared at, and he was scared like this by the aura of King Jinyang?
It can be seen that Han Ye, the fallen horse on weekdays, is too gentle, where is half the majesty of his father? Those old guys were so courteous and polite to King Jinyang, Li Shu had to wonder if they were just as frightened as he was. If not, why should they be so jealous of the Han family?
No matter how powerful the vassal king is, he is only a vassal king after all, but he is just guarding the border pass, even if the king of Jinyang marries the eldest princess Yue as the princess, but the brother-in-law is not as good as His Majesty's own brother!
Li Shuwu thought a lot to himself, and there was no one to discuss, Situ He hadn't seen him for a few days, and he hadn't even shown up when Jing Xiaobai had a fuss yesterday, and he should have flown over when he heard the wind on weekdays, which was not normal, and I don't know where he went.
Li Shu is a layman, a layman, he is not interested in court affairs, and he doesn't want to think about who has grievances with whom, but recently he always feels depressed, and I don't know who is so unhappy.
Because the king of Jinyang guards the border all the year round, the border generals have been able to get the support of the people for a long time, therefore, when I heard that the king of Jinyang returned to Beijing to report on his work, the people on the streets of Shengjing greeted each other, and the scene was no less than the scene of the generals of the Situ family returning from a victory.
Han Xing, the king of Jinyang, was expressionless throughout the whole process, even in the face of the enthusiastic people of Shengjing, he didn't seem to be able to smile anymore. Han Bei's face couldn't hide the excitement of the teenager, this was a completely strange world, and everyone's dress, expression, and even the moist and shiny wrinkles on their faces were different from the people of Beijun Mansion.
The girl was watery, and her little face was so white and delicate that she seemed to be able to pinch water. The stalls set up by the vendors to sell small items, even the vegetables in the vegetable market, are different from those in the North County Government. The northern county is barren and miserable, while the south of the Yangtze River is rich and supportive.
Han Beixin said, no wonder his father wants to go back to Jiangnan, no wonder Jiangnan is always sung in the drama, and when he sees the different charm here with his own eyes, he secretly hates his eldest brother - Han Ye has been a proton in Jiangnan for five or six years, playing with the royal princess, and then marrying the princess Luo, who is said to be the most coquettish princess in the royal family, wouldn't it be cheaper for him? But Han Ye was not satisfied, and the document sent by the imperial court to the Beijun Mansion said that Han Ye was injured and his life was on the verge of dying, so he asked his father to set off to Shengjing to see him for the last time.
When the father knew about this, he immediately set off, but when they were halfway through, they heard that Han Ye had woken up again. Han Ye's life is big, life and death can be manipulated with one hand, if you say that you will die, you will die, if you say that you will be reborn, don't wake up if you have the ability, just die cleanly!
This time he returned to Beijing to report on his work, even if it was caused by Han Ye's serious injury, but it was not half beneficial to Han Ye, even if he was still asleep, the first thing the King of Jinyang and his party had to do was to enter the palace to face the saint, not to visit him in the Jinyang Palace.
The way of the monarch and the minister is more important than the love of father and son. This is royalty.
When the group walked to the palace gate, someone signaled King Jinyang and others to dismount, and no horse was allowed to run in the palace city, unless there was a holy will, no one could be an exception.
King Jinyang did not feel any discomfort, turned over and dismounted, his movements were clean and neat, and did not match his white hair. Han Bei followed his father down, but his heart was very angry, after walking through the long road, when the second palace door in front of him opened, Han Bei was stunned for a moment, he saw a group of people waiting in the door, the one headed by a bright yellow five-clawed dragon brocade robe, this luxurious dragon robe shows his identity - Emperor Jingyuan, the king of a country in Daxing.
Han Bei was still hesitating how to react, but his father strode forward, kneeling on one knee in front of the king of a country without any guilt, and his low and muddy voice was like a strong wind and sand blowing in the northwest: "Minister Han Xing, long live my emperor." β
Then, several soldiers of the feudal army who followed King Jinyang into the palace, including his son Han Bei, knelt down in front of Emperor Jingyuan and said long live.
"King Jinyang, please get up."
Emperor Jing Yuan smiled and stepped forward to help King Jinyang.
"You Aiqing should also be even, the road is far away, and it has been hard."
"Emperor Xie." King Jinyang got up, he was about the same size as Emperor Jingyuan, if he straightened up, his eyes would be at eye level.
Eighteen years have not seen, the years have not bypassed any of them, Emperor Jing Yuan looked at the King of Jinyang, and smiled with emotion: "The King of Jinyang is old, why is he full of silver hair?" Fortunately, the child's face has not changed, which makes me envious. β
Han Xing, the king of Jinyang, still didn't smile, but replied lightly: "Let Your Majesty see it." β
Emperor Jingyuan was very close to him, his expression was not a little unnatural, and he noticed that Han Bei was standing there, and his majestic and sharp eyes seemed to be full of smiles: "This must be the son of King Jinyang, right?" β
Han Bei didn't wait for his father to speak, he hurriedly clenched his fists and knelt down again: "Minister Han Bei." β
"The third son of the old minister." King Jinyang explained.
Emperor Jing Yuan nodded, thought about it as if unintentionally, and said, "I remember, it doesn't seem to be from the princess." β
"Your Majesty has a good memory." King Jinyang responded without dodging.
Emperor Jing Yuan was extremely patient and gently pointed to the princes and princesses behind him, who were different from height to fatness, and said, "These are my princes and princesses, oh, the third, the fourth, the fifth, the seventh, ......."
Then, Emperor Jing Yuan pointed to a bright-eyed concubine in a delicate dress and said: "This is my beloved concubine, King Xing of Jinyang may no longer know her, she is the biological mother of the princess who married the prince of the world, Concubine Li." β
King Jinyang suddenly nodded slightly at Concubine Li, except for the mother of a country, he didn't need to bow to any concubine. And as far as his eyes could see, he did not see the most noble woman in the empire.
Emperor Jingyuan didn't seem to be aware of this fact at all, and didn't give any explanation, and led the King of Jinyang to the Cheng'en Hall with a smile: "The King of Jinyang returned to Beijing this time, traveling thousands of miles a day, non-stop, I have ordered them to prepare a banquet to wash the dust for the King of Jinyang."
