Volume 1: The Honest Young Man, Chapter 3

Sleeping at night, Yuan Zhen and Zeng Zhuangrong whispered in the quilt, Zeng Zhuangrong asked, "Jian Yu, don't you plan to let Qian'er enter the military camp now?" ”

Yuan Zhen let out a 'hmm' and sighed uneasily: "Qian'er is still young now, he has seen less of the world, and his mind is so heavy, but he has a compassionate heart, who knows how he will develop in the future?" The soldiers who go to the battlefield are often nine deaths, and few of them can live to the day when they are disarmed and returned to the field, and I am a little reluctant. ”

"But Qian'er's desire to serve the country is so strong......"

"I understand that Qian'er, this kid knows how to be grateful, and everything he does is to be able to share my worries as soon as possible, but I can almost foresee the path after he becomes a marshal, and he will always struggle back and forth between compassion for the common people in the world and the position of protecting the Yuan Kingdom, he is the most kind, but I have to worry about the people of the entire Yuan Kingdom, and I am afraid that his concept will have a lot of conflicts with me."

"Different identities and different positions, there will definitely be differences, you are also right to worry, Qian'er has a stunning talent, a peerless appearance, a great love for the world, destined to spend a life not ordinary. If there really is such a day, I hope you can thank Qian'er for his courageous loyalty and not condemn him. ”

Yuan Zhen sighed: "I only hope that Qian'er will always be safe and sound in the future, and I won't ask for anything more." ”

"Definitely, our family Qian'er is so powerful, it will definitely become the invincible Great Wall of the Yuan Kingdom." Zeng Zhuangrong drilled into Yuan Zhen's arms.

"Tomorrow I have to get up early to go to the court, this time I have to discuss with the ministers what I encountered at the border pass, after so many days of expedition, it is estimated that the folds are stacked higher than the sky, and it is so difficult to take a breath."

Zeng Zhuangrong sighed a lot, she still remembered that for so many years, Jian Yu has always been conscientious and hardworking, especially in the first few years of his accession to the throne, he was still young, and he was exploited by the surrounding countries again and again, because he often had a nosebleed to reverse the situation, and fainted next to the table, just like that, he gritted his teeth and survived, even so, he never heard him cry bitterly, and the occasional complaint was just a joke, and then it seemed that the fatigue flowed out with those few gossips.

The man he loves deeply is a man who stands up to the sky.

Zeng Zhuang Rong pillowed on Yuan Zhen's heart, listening to his powerful heartbeat, and was particularly comfortable: "You have guarded the territory of the Yuan Kingdom and returned triumphantly, what gift does Brother Jian Yu want?" ”

Yuan Zhen snorted and laughed twice: "What kind of gift is not a gift, our family is harmonious and beautiful, and it is my best gift." ”

When Yuan Zhen went out early the next morning, he saw that the snow outside was very thick, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, did it snow heavily last night? Wrapped tightly around the fox fur on his body, there was already a royal driver waiting outside, and as soon as he took a step, he saw Ouyang Qian running over.

"Qian'er? What are you doing so early on such a cold day? Yuan Zhen touched his face, it was cold, his face was red, the tip of his nose was also frozen red, and he trembled and said, "The child followed his father-in-law into the palace, and the father-in-law dispersed the meeting in the morning, so there must be a lot of excerpts to be approved, and the child served the father with pen and ink." ”

Yuan Zhen untied his fox fur and tied it to him: "How old are you and still so clingy...... I didn't know how to bring a cloak when I came out, and the pestle drank the northwest wind like a fool there. Then he laughed helplessly, "There are so many guards in the palace, why do you have to bother His Royal Highness King Qian to serve in person?" ”

Ouyang Qian's feet stomped back and forth, and said coquettishly: "Oh, the child misses his father-in-law, and he wants to accompany him, and it won't get in the way of your business......"

Sure enough, when he returned to Chengming Hall after going down to the court, Yuan Zhen saw the pile of twists and turns on the table, and sighed secretly, there is no way, who makes himself the emperor, if he is the emperor, he has to suffer from this, who can he complain about? But what about Qian'er? Yuan Zhen turned back and forth, and he didn't look at his people, but his cloak was lying well on the bed. Didn't he say that he was going to serve himself with pen and ink? I didn't even see a ghost, so where did I go crazy?

As soon as Yuan Zhen sat down, he saw Ouyang Qian running in with a meteor, and at the end he was embarrassed, so he went out and shook off the snow under his feet before coming in again, holding a large bouquet of plum blossoms that bloomed just right in winter: "Father-in-law, do you see this plum blossom blooming well?" I'll give you a vase, and you can raise it for a while......"

Yuan Zhen raised his eyelids and sneered: "What else did you say about entering the palace to serve me with pen and ink, I see that you are here to enjoy the snow and compose poems, right?" I don't know how to stop for a while. ”

"The child didn't know when his father-in-law would go to court, so he went to the yard to build a snowman, and the father-in-law came with me to see if it looked good." After Ouyang Qian planted the flowers, he took advantage of the situation to fish out Yuan Zhen, the cold touch made Yuan Zhen couldn't help but stand up his hair, held his hand with his backhand, frowned and blamed, "It's so cool!" ”

"Father-in-law, don't scold me, it's hard to play once, come and take a look."

Yuan Zhen saw that there was a big snowman in the yard, and he looked very handsome, so he couldn't help but sigh and laugh twice, children are children, childlike and naturally fun-loving.

"Beautiful." Yuan Zhen praised from the bottom of his heart.

Yuan Zhen had been looking at an excerpt for a long time, Ouyang Qian was grinding ink on the side, and he didn't see him move, so he couldn't help but ask, "Father-in-law, what is the matter on this fold?" ”

"The grain and grass of the Northwest Frontier have been stolen again." Yuan Zhen's face seemed to be frosty, Ouyang Qian wrinkled his brows, "It's stolen again......"

"What are you going to do?" Yuan Zhen turned his head slightly, and asked solemnly, Ouyang Qian hurriedly put down the inkstone in his hand and knelt on his knees, "Father-in-law, please put aside your anger for the time being, the child will go to the frontier to check immediately, and this time the prisoner will definitely be pulled out and given an explanation to the father-in-law." ”

Yuan Zhen was silent for a while, and then lowered his voice and said angrily: "Get up." ”

"Father-in-law."

"The marshal is almost outside the palace, he wants to discuss the matter of Deng Guo with me, you go out first."

Ouyang Qian hesitated for a moment, but still opened his mouth and asked, "Can the child listen to the side?" ”

"Get out!" Yuan Zhen scolded, "You can't do a little thing well, and you still have the face to participate in important things in the DPRK and China?" I gave you two months to steal the grain and grass, and what happened? What about human offenders? If I can't see your ability, I won't go on a rampage like a tiger calf, always thinking that I have a lot of ability, get out! ”

Ouyang Qian pursed his lips, this matter is indeed not done by himself, and his father-in-law should be scolded, his father-in-law is right, small things can't be done perfectly, how can you talk about such a big thing as commanding a soldier? Then he bowed his hand: "Father-in-law, don't be angry, beware of the dragon body, the child will go out." ”

When he arrived at the door, he happened to meet with Bizhou Cheng, and Bi Zhoucheng arched his hand and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness King Qian." Because he was in a hurry, the weather was so cold, but he had a layer of sweat on his head.

Ouyang Qian returned the salute: "The marshal has worked hard all the way. ”

"It should be."

"Marshal, please come in, the emperor is waiting for you inside."

Bi Zhoucheng nodded, bowed to him, and walked in, Ouyang Qianshun brought them the door, and stood outside the house waiting for them to finish talking.

"In addition, for the theft of grain and grass, I have instructed King Qian to go to the frontier to investigate, and this time I will go with you and send the grain and grass over by the way. Marshal, King Qian is still young, and his experience is still insufficient, and he hopes that the marshal can give more advice. ”

This...... Bi Zhoucheng couldn't help but feel embarrassed, they were most afraid of encountering something delicate and expensive, so they only did the etiquette on the surface for Ouyang Qian, and they didn't have a good impression of him as a person. Although he fought with the army in the first two years and watched some battles, it did not mean that he had the courage to lead the Yuan Iron Cavalry, and he was depressed when he thought that he would have to obey the orders of a weak and arrogant person in the future. But how could he not obey the emperor's orders, and judging from the emperor's attitude, he would definitely want King Qian to enter the military camp in the future, so what could he interfere in this matter? You can only do what you want.

After waiting for about two hours, he heard the sound of the door opening, and Bi Zhoucheng stood at the door and shouted to Ouyang Qian in the courtyard: "His Royal Highness King Qian, the emperor is invited." ”

Ouyang Qian answered, and hurried over, and went to the hall to kneel and wait for orders.

"King Qian, now that there is a famine in the frontier, I want you to escort the grain and grass to the frontier with Bizhoucheng to deliver grain, comfort the frontier soldiers, and by the way, investigate this matter to me clearly."

Ouyang Qian solemnly arched his hand and said: "Please rest assured that the emperor will not fail in his mission!" ”

"If this thing is not done properly...... Yuan Zhen turned the brush in his hand, "King Qian himself said, how should he be punished?" ”

Ouyang Qian leaned over and knelt on the ground: "If it is not done properly, the five years after Weichen enters the dynasty will be used to fund the grain and grass in the frontier, and he will not take a penny." He paused again, "The reward that the emperor usually gives to Weichen is also used to fund the frontier." ”

"Heh......" Yuan Zhen chuckled in a low voice, "You are quite bold to make wild statements, things can't be done, and you always think about rewarding silver." ”

Ouyang Qian bowed his head even deeper, and Yuan Zhen knelt down for a long time before he said, "Get out, the marshal has been waiting for you outside the door for so long, and you still haven't gone to make amends to him?" ”

Ouyang Qian raised his upper body and bowed solemnly: "That Weichen returned to the mansion and took Chiyun with him, and then went to the frontier with the marshal." ”

"Or what are you waiting for?"

Ouyang Qian was silent, pouting unconsciously, looking pitiful as if he had been wronged.

Yuan Zhen was speechless, what is wrong with this kid always trying to coax people? Rolling his eyes helplessly, he said: "Pay attention to safety on the road, go early and return early, don't delay going home for the New Year." ”

Ouyang Qian smiled happily at this time, smiled and complained again: "The plates of dumplings that my father-in-law didn't allow me to eat yesterday came to eat when I went to sleep and didn't see Long Tingfang, isn't it too wasteful...... The father-in-law is an eccentric ......"

"All the benefits of the whole world are taken by you, and I am biased, holding a boy's house is even more excessive than a girl, what can you do if you eat two bites less?" Yuan Zhen laughed angrily, helpless and funny, Ouyang Qian had to kowtow again, "Yes, yes, my father-in-law loves Qian'er the most......"

"You have a bit of a conscience."

"The boy went, and during this time, please take care of the dragon body, and don't work too hard. The child will use his actions to prove to his father-in-law that the child can share the burden for his father-in-law, and that he will never let his father-in-law work alone in the future. ”

Countless words were difficult to say in the throat, and it took a long time to turn into a sentence: "Be careful in everything." ”

"Yes, Qian'er bids farewell to her father-in-law." Ouyang Qian kowtowed to Yuan Zhen, and then retreated, Yuan Zhen heard the sound of shoes stepping on the snow from a distance, looked at the beams, and laughed as if relieved. Maybe...... Qian'er can share the heavy responsibilities for herself when she enters the barracks, but it is also possible that she will become the most blocked wall in her heart.
