Chapter Twenty-Three: Dongfang Shuo Arrives at Weifu
When Dongfang Shuo heard this, he almost didn't fall off the chair, oh my God, things are getting more and more difficult to control, the emperor wants to see Jasmine, what should I do?
But Dongfang Shuo didn't see a little panic on his face, he calmed down, his heart was full of questions, and he asked: "Lord Wei Qing, it's just a trivial matter, why did you tell the emperor about this?"
Wei Qing said: "Master Dongfang Shuo, this is not a trivial matter! You also know the situation at the border gates now, and every year the Xiongnu make peace with the Huns, and every year the Huns still commit against my Han Dynasty! Harmony, for a long time, and then invade, and then reconcile, and again for a good period of time, and again invade, and then reconcile...... How many years have it been since this kind of repetition? Can Heqin fundamentally solve the border problem? The first emperor's "rule of Wenjing" enabled the Han Dynasty to cultivate self-cultivation and self-cultivation, and the wealth of the common people and the imperial court increased dramatically, and the soldiers became strong and strong. Today's saints, attaching importance to wisdom, inspirational change, listening to the opinions of Lord Dong Zhongshu, and respecting Confucianism alone, let the thoughts of the Han people have been unprecedentedly condensed. On the basis of such a prosperous country and a strong people, and a unified ideology, will we allow the Huns to do anything wrong?"
Wei Qing continued to take a sip of tea and continued: "Therefore, I estimate that the Holy Lord will not and is not willing to be weak any longer, and will have to fight a few tough battles with the Xiongnu thoroughly. Drinking at your house, meeting that little girl in your family, superb martial arts, unpredictable, of course I want to recommend it to the emperor! The emperor is also very happy to hear this, and recently he will invite you and Jasmine to go to the palace together, hehehehe....."
"In this way, what are the next plans for Lord Wei Qing?" Dongfang Shuo inquired further.
Wei Qing said: "I'm thinking, several of your apprentices are all quite capable, I think they are all under my banner, and they will be used by the country in the future, what do you think?"
Dongfang Shuo was a little unhappy when he heard this, the apprentice I worked so hard to cultivate is for you to use, how can that? But he thought about it, if he didn't agree, maybe Wei Qing would be disloyal to him in front of the Holy Master, then he would be miserable. Sending valuable talents to the country is actually Dongfang Shuo's original intention, but he is not very happy in this way. He felt that the emperor had made Dongfang Shuo unrelenting, and now he was unwilling to make a detour through Wei Qing, which was really unhappy!
Thinking of this, although Dongfang Shuo was unhappy in his heart, he still said with a smile on his face: "In this way, the people I have cultivated are of course also people of the country, the country is a major event, and it can be used by the country and adults, of course I will not hesitate!"
Coming out of Wei Qing's mansion, Dongfang Shuo was so sad, the apprentice he had worked hard to cultivate for many years, Wei Qing and the emperor said that he was going to leave, how could he be reluctant, but what if he was not reluctant?
Dong Sheng said: "Wei Qing is so unreasonable, in order to avoid suspicion, he has never raised disciples and apprentices to show his loyalty to the saint! You have cultivated us here to become talents, we have been with the master for more than ten years, we are like father and son, he has to leave if he wants to! How can this be true! Master, you must never agree to send us to his command! We will not agree! Master, what do you say?"
Dongfang Shuo sighed and said, "Under the eaves of people, I have to bow my head! Who can afford to mess with Wei Qing? His sister Wei Zifu is already pregnant with a holy child, and the empress dowager is happy." The Queen Mother wants to give her a few points. Wei Qing is currently reused by the emperor, and he is a popular person in front of the emperor, do I dare to offend? If I don't agree, the emperor will definitely be suspicious. So once he brought it up, I had no choice. In fact, a few of you boys said to Wei Qing that they will go to the battlefield to protect their families and defend the country, and a good boy will die after all, and a good reputation for serving the country will be regarded as a good fruit, but Jasmine is a girl, what will happen to her in the future, it is really difficult to say!"
Dongsheng felt very uncomfortable when he heard his master say this, but he didn't say anything more.
Back at home, Dongfang Shuo borrowed wine to kill his sorrows, he was originally a very smart person, but at this time he had no countermeasures.
Zhang Yiduo came to inquire about the news, Dongfang Shuo had to perfunctory her, and Zhang Yiduo knew a little about his expression when he saw it. But even if he knew, what could Zhang Yiduo do?
Dongsheng secretly found Zhang Yiduo and told Yiduo and Jasmine about what happened to Wei Qing, saying that the emperor was about to see us. As soon as ordinary people hear this, they can climb to the rich, and from then on, the family will climb to the sky and enjoy endless glory and wealth, and they may be happy and hopeful; however, Zhang Yiduo is not happy at all, she is deeply worried about her daughter, Jasmine listens to it but it doesn't matter, she only has Chunsheng in her heart. She didn't want to listen to Dongsheng talk about those messy things, her mind had already flown to Chunsheng's side, and Jasmine called Chunsheng in her heart: "Chunsheng, when can you come back?"
The more you are afraid of something, the more you will come. Within a day or two, the emperor's edict came down, and Dongfang Shuo, four apprentices, and Jasmine and his party of six people came to the palace to meet him.
To the emperor, you can't say that Jasmine is sick, if you lie, once you find out, it will be a capital crime of bullying the king!
There was no way, Dongfang Shuo asked the four apprentices to meet the current saint with him, he thought that he would find a way to prevent the emperor from casually appointing his apprentices to others, and explain in front of the emperor the reason why the eldest apprentice Chunsheng was not in the capital!
He ordered the four apprentices to freshen up and dress as soon as possible. Jasmine discussed with the master, and wore a martial arts outfit, looking a little masculine, the body was wrapped, and the fragrance was much lighter. The master saw it, and the master also agreed to dress up, because Dongfang Shuo was also most afraid that the emperor would fall in love with Jasmine and choose a concubine to enter the palace, and Jasmine's good martial arts and learning, including this life, would be ruined, and he had to find a way to prevent the emperor from choosing a concubine.
Zhang Yiduo shed tears and said goodbye to her daughter and her three senior brothers, she really had an intuition that Jasmine was going to be unpredictable!
Zhang Yiduo cried and told Chunsheng who rushed home.
At this time, after Chunsheng listened to Zhang Yiduo's narration, he trembled, and his intuition was the same as Dongfang Shuo: once Jasmine was favored by the emperor and included in the palace, Jasmine's life would be over, and his love with Jasmine would be over.
He hurriedly asked Zhang Yiduo: "Auntie, how long have they been in the palace?"
Zhang Yiduo said with teary eyes: "It's been almost a day, and it's going to be night soon, and I can't even see a trace!"
Chunsheng thought for a while, and he said to Zhang Yiduo: "Auntie, don't panic, even if I have to pay the price of my life, I will rescue Jasmine and keep her safe! Others can't usually see my soul, but I can see them! I use my soul to see what happened to Jasmine and them, and I will go back quickly, but you need to hold on to my body here, and you can't leave a single step, let alone let anyone else approach my body, if someone approaches, once it destroys my body, then my soul will never come back, and you and Jasmine will never see me again! You must remember! Remember!"
Zhang Yiduo kept nodding and agreed to Chunsheng.
