Chapter 41: The Marriage Contract
Outside the city of Xizhou, by the Weishui River.
He Tian tied the horse under a tree and walked to the river with Shi Yi.
He Tian looked at the vast river and said to Shi Yi with a smile: "You ate too much just now, there is no one here, you can rest assured to take a walk and eliminate food." ”
Shi Yi nodded, and gestured with a smile: Does the master often come here?
He Tian shook his head, the original Zhou Shengchen often came, after all, this was the place where he had suffered a big defeat for the first time, but He Tian didn't have the heart to come to the river to feed the mosquitoes.
"I brought you here because there are so many people in the city, it's crowded, and it's convenient to take a walk or be outside the city."
He Tian and Shi Yi walked side by side by the Weishui River.
"Eleven, how many years have you been in the palace?" He Tian asked as he walked.
Shi Yi gestured to five.
"It's been five years, and time flies very quickly when you think about it, when you first arrived in the palace, you were just a little girl, and now it's so big."
Shi Yi recalled the scene when he first came to the palace, he was really immature at the beginning, and made a lot of jokes.
"What do you know about the affairs of the Zhongzhou court?"
Shi Yi said: A-Niang often writes to me, and sometimes she talks about her uncle's affairs in Zhongzhou. Judging from the letter, the situation on the side of the Zhongzhou court is not optimistic.
Shi Yi thought of Zhongzhou's uncle Luo Guang, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
"Yes, your uncle Luo Guang, although he holds the position of the prince in the court, and his prestige among the courtiers is especially above the prime minister, but it is a pity that Zhao Teng is now above the court Zhao Teng bewitched the emperor, imprisoned the Empress Dowager Qi in the Xuanguang Palace, and joined hands with the general Liu Yuan to control the court, your uncle alone is difficult to fight against these two."
The situation in Zhongzhou has changed a lot in recent years, Empress Dowager Qi favored Zhao Teng, but she didn't know that she had raised a white-eyed wolf, and as a result, she was trapped in the Xuanguang Palace, the palace gate was closed day and night, the key was kept by Zhao Teng, and the diet was responsible for Zhao Teng's cronies, and even the emperor had to ask Zhao Teng's consent and companionship if he wanted to see her.
Although Emperor Liu Hui set up Jin Rong's daughter Jin Zhen'er as the queen, he can be regarded as a little more dependent, but Xizhou has been more reluctant to Zhongzhou's orders in recent years, and without the help of Xizhou, although it is much better than in the play, it is also limited, and it can only maintain the glory on the face.
Liu Guang held the military power of Zhongzhou and was responsible for resisting attacks from outside the court. Zhao Teng is responsible for monitoring the hundred officials of the imperial court, and under the joint efforts of the two, the hundred officials are not careful, and everyone is in danger.
Luo Guang, the old fox, is getting more and more blind as he gets older, and now he can only work hard to maintain his own faction, in order to find a way back for the Luo family.
He Tian looked down on Luo Guang, but after all, he was Shi Yi's uncle, so naturally he would not show it in front of Shi Yi.
The more Shi Yi listened, the tighter his brows locked, and hurriedly gestured: What should I do then? Will my uncle be in any danger?
He Tian stretched out his hand, gently smoothed Shi Yi's brows, and said, "You don't have to worry, Taifu Luo's status is too high, and Zhao Teng and Liu Yuan will not attack him at this time." But after all, he is close to old age, and in the past few years, he has been too distracted because of the affairs of the court, I am afraid that once he falls, Liu Zhao and the others will have to do something against the Luo family. ”
Shi Yi's heart was in turmoil, he didn't expect the situation in his family to be so critical, and he didn't notice that He Tian's actions were unprecedentedly intimate, and he gestured: Then my aunt and they are not in danger?
He Tian nodded: "Hmm." However, Taifu Luo will not sit still, he will naturally try his best to plan a way out for the Luo family, I guess, he will let the Luo family move south. ”
"Emperor Nanxiao asked the Luo clan to move south many times in the early years, and if the Luo clan can survive the Weishui safely, it will naturally be safe."
Shi Yi put down the big stone in his heart slightly, pondered for a while, and frowned again.
If the Luo clan moves south, then what should I do? Can I still stay in Nanchen Palace?
Although Nan Xiao and Bei Chen have been friends for nearly two years, if the two countries are at war, how will the Luo family and Xizhou get along?
After thinking about it for a long time, Shi Yi didn't come up with any answers, so he could only gesture to the teacher.
He Tian said: "Since you are worried about the problem, then why don't you let the Luo family move to Xizhou?" ”
The dock room where Luo Guang is located, in addition to Luo Guang, is Shi Yi's mother, Luo Sanniang, who has the highest prestige status, and naturally has a certain right to speak on the migration of the Luo family.
What's more, according to the plot, after Luo Guang's death, the power of the Luo family's house was controlled by Luo Sanniang. If Luo Sanniang can move her house to Xizhou, it will be of great benefit to Shi Yi and Jing Nan in the future.
Although Luo Guang hates it, he is now old and disabled, and he is not far from death, and He Tian is not afraid of how much wind and rain he can make in Xizhou after he comes.
Shi Yi raised his eyebrows, clapped his hands and laughed, wouldn't it be good to let A-Niang come to Xizhou?
In this way, you can see A-Niang often, and you don't have to leave the master.
Although Shi Yi grew older, she slowly began to worry that Luo Sanniang would let her return to Qinghe County after leaving the school, or let herself complete the marriage contract with the prince, and had to leave Xizhou.
But if Luo Sanniang is willing to relocate, then at least she doesn't have to worry about returning to Qinghe County.
Although that place is the homeland, in Shi Yi's memory, it is cold under the heavy snow, and it is far less than the taste of home in the palace.
He Tian looked at Shi Yi from sorrow to joy, and said happily: "You can write to your aunt and uncle, let them think about it, don't worry about safety, I will send a large army to protect the Luo clan Xidu at any time." ”
In addition to the people of the Luo family, He Tian also fell in love with the Luo family's collection of books, which was also a big treasure.
Shi Yi nodded happily, thinking about the beautiful scene if the Luo family also moved to Xizhou in the future, and his face bloomed.
After a while, I came back to my senses and happily said: Ah Niang and I have said many times in our letters, the country often changes hands, and the heroes through the ages have always admired Xizhou Zhou Sheng Gongwei Beichen for many years, and his impression of Xizhou and Nanchen Wangfu is excellent. When the time comes, I will communicate with my aunt and uncle by letter, and I will definitely be able to convince them.
He Tian smiled and nodded.
The two of them talked about it and continued to walk along the river.
"Eleven, there is one more matter, I also want to discuss it with you."
Shi Yi stopped, his eyebrows were puzzled, what else was going on?
"Do you remember your engagement?"
Shi Yi was stunned, how could she forget this marriage contract, how many times in the past few years, she was scared to wake up in her sleep because of this marriage contract, afraid that she would be taken away from Xizhou at any time.
But why did the master bring it up?
"Back then, the first emperor gave you a marriage to the current saint, but because of the obstruction of the Empress Dowager Qi and the Liu clan, he gave you to the king of Guangling. King Guangling is now crowned, and the marriage contract may be fulfilled at any time. ”
The more Shi Yi listened, the heavier his heart became, every sentence the master said was the truth, but every sentence was like a boulder falling on his heart.
