Chapter 299 Sir

Uncle Qi smiled slightly,

said:

"Isn't it appropriate?"

Uncle Zheng also smiled,

said;

"I am very busy."

After saying that, Uncle Zheng put down the curtain and sat back.

Little Eunuch Zhang started to continue driving the carriage, but stopped again because Uncle Qi did not get out of the way and was still blocking the road.

But soon,

Little Eunuch Zhang gritted his teeth,

As Eunuch Zhang’s godson, little Eunuch Zhang’s qualifications are excellent. He knew the identity of the person blocking the road in front of him, but at the same time he knew more clearly the relationship between the person sitting in the car behind him and his master.

His godfather once taught him,

After losing his roots,

He will be a rootless person in this life,

A person without roots If a person wants to survive in this world, he can only rely on his own master.

You should only have your own master in your eyes.

So,

After a brief hesitation,

Little Eunuch Zhang drove the car and ran over Uncle Qi.

The sword in Uncle Qi’s hand was half unsheathed.

In the carriage,

Long Yuan beside the sword master was also half unsheathed.

The next moment,

Uncle Qi got out of the way, and

the carriage drove past.

Little Eunuch Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

In the carriage, the Sword Master sheathed Long Yuan, looked at Zheng Fan, and said:

"Why does it feel like he is much tougher than when he was at Snow Customs?"

Uncle Zheng shook his head and said:

"Because Xueguan is my place, I have to restrain my hands, but this is the capital, and I can be more open. If he continues to block the way , I really will ask you to help me give him that sword, so as to save him from having to wander around with a sword at such an old age."

If the princess is. If something happens at Xue Customs, it must be your own fault;

But in the capital, in full view of the public, it is a place where you can be reasonable.

Yesterday Emperor Yan held such a grand entrance ceremony for himself, so it was impossible for him to just watch him die suddenly in the street today.

“His sword is not easy to practice.”

“I’m annoyed with him, and I’m also annoyed with the crazy woman behind him.”

Sword Master Dot-Dian head.

Uncle Zheng stretched out, half-squinted his eyes, leaned his back against the car wall again, and said:

"In less than half a year, I have become more confident. Well, apart from the reasons for different places, there are two reasons.

One is the princess;

A princess makes the four young generals who were previously rumored in the world. Three of them can only eat shit behind me. It’s true that reputation can be tiring, but reputation can also save people’s lives.

There is also one,

It's you,

You have recovered,

Brother,

You are the key.

No matter how much fame you have, no matter how many errands you have, no matter how important the relationship is, if someone can just stab you to death while you are on the street, then it will all matter. Nonsense.

I don’t like to put my life on other people’s overall situation, because I am not a person who likes to take the overall situation into account. ”

A princess and a sword master can make Uncle Zheng stand tall in front of the princess.

And she is still relatively independent. Location, Beijing;

After that,

Compare the backgrounds of both parties;

Behind you is the Marquis of Zhenbei, and behind me is the Marquis of Jingnan. Well, who is afraid of whom?

...

The blind man and the Savage King have entered Ji Chengjue's mansion with a group of followers. This mansion is very safe, because In order to protect his wife and daughter, Ji Chengjue hired several experts and a group of people who were good at lurking around to protect them.

The people in charge of the mansion entertained Uncle Hirano's followers very carefully. /p>

There were fresh oranges, and the blind man grabbed several and stuffed his pockets.

It was not easy to eat fruit at Xueguan, although the blind man ordered people to transplant some orange trees on the pretext of charity. , but to be honest, the oranges produced are not delicious.

The fruits in Ji Chengjue's mansion are all fresh and come from various places as tribute. His Majesty's Ministry of Internal Affairs will send them to him regularly. My grandson ate it.

“He shamelessly snatched oranges from children. "

Gou Moli teased angrily.

"Children are weak and will easily get angry if they eat too many oranges. "The blind man continued to peel the oranges.

Gou Moli sat on the steps. This was a small courtyard for entertaining guests. It was not big and only had one square of sky. However, Gou Moli still stuck out his tongue greedily and enjoyed himself. Breathing the air here.

The blind man put a piece of orange meat into his mouth and said:

“Like a dog. "

Gou Moli was not angry. He had always called himself Coyotito anyway. Instead, he said proudly:

"I didn't expect that I could breathe so freely. The fragrance of Yanjing. ”

“But it should be different from what you imagined, in a different way. "

Gou Moli shook his head and said: "No, I never thought that one day I would be able to lead an army into this capital. I served as an auxiliary soldier under the Beihou Mansion in Beifeng County. I know how difficult it is to conquer this country.

Actually, I originally thought that taking over half of the Jin land would be enough, and I couldn’t make the Yan people too anxious. Who knew that the Yan people were really the butt of tigers and wanted to save face? relatives. ”

“Haha. "The blind man smiled.

"I thought that after winning a battle at Wangjiang, it should be enough. I can conquer the river by crossing the river, or wait for an opportunity to capture Yingdu. I don't ask too much.I am also willing to surrender to the Yan people, as long as..."

"As long as the princess is married to you? ”

“That was my dream, no, it was an obsession. You said that at that time, the princess was still young. Although she whipped me, I really didn’t treat a little girl like that. What does the girl have in mind? It's you Xia people. Some nobles like young people very much. We, the saint clan, like big bodies that can support children.

I don’t even know what she looks like now, but I just can’t help thinking about her.

Because she was the one I swore to. ”

“Is this the goal you set for yourself while you were dormant? "

"This statement is appropriate and correct. Time and time again I struggled in the mud, time and time again knelt in front of others, and time and time again had to endure the short-sighted but self-regarding tribal leaders on the snowfield.

I have wronged myself for so long, there must be a reason for me to keep going, right?

She,

is the reward I have reserved for myself. ”

“Understood. "

"Thank you. ”

“But I don’t like this kind of day. "

"I see, you are all a bunch of lunatics. In your eyes, nothing is more important than your own happiness! ”

“That’s called following one’s will. ”

“Haha. "

"To tell you the truth, even if you already have your current family business and the foundation of Xueguan Customs, it is not unacceptable to lower your head a little, sleep for a while, and plan for the future, but if If you really have retreated to the bottom line..."

"For example, what does it mean to retreat to the bottom line? ”

“Probably, our individual lives may be the women who want the Lord to hand over their own lives. "

"I think that other than Uncle Uncle's own life, everything else can be handed over. "

"You see, this is the biggest difference between you and us. In fact, we have been preparing to lift the table if it doesn't work out, and at worst, go to the snowfield, to the desert, or to open an inn in the south of the Yangtze River. "

"Are you willing? ”

“I’m willing to give up. ”

“Tsk. ”

“Look, it’s a loss for someone like you to stay low for a small part of your life, and in the end your great achievements will turn into just a dream.” ”

“I’ve been here, I’ve seen it, I’ve experienced it. ”

“It sounds a bit familiar. "

"What my uncle once said. "

The blind man nodded and said:

"The more officials in the officialdom like to flaunt themselves as clean and love the people as their own children, the less they can withstand investigation. "

"Are you mocking your Lord? ”

“I dare to say this in front of the Lord. ”

“I don’t believe it. "

The blind man peeled the second orange and said, "I'm not going to lie to you. "

" If you have the ability, wait until my uncle comes back and say it again in front of him. "

"say what? "

"Just what you just said. "

"What words? "

"You are the one who said that Mr. Zheng is hypocritical and pretending to be aloof and arrogant..."

"Wow..."

The courtyard door was pushed open Open, Uncle Zheng walked in, followed by the Sword Master

"..." Uncle Zheng glanced at Gou Moli, and Gou Moli immediately came. Kneel down.

“You are quite free. "

Gou Moli was shivering.

Uncle Zheng looked at the blind man and said, "Have you sent the gift from the princess?

The blind man nodded and said: "In addition to the gifts for His Highness, his wife and children, we have already sent people to send other gifts to women into the palace before. By now, they should have communicated with the palace." The person handed over.

My subordinate asked He Chunlai and Chen Daole to go, haha. ”

He Chunlai and Chen Daole, there is a problem with their identities. This is something that everyone knows tacitly.

Both of them are from Jin, and they should have been Participated in the anti-Yan restoration activities.

Asking them to give gifts is actually a bad idea of ​​the blind man.

Look,

The Great Yan Palace. Right in front of you two,

Come on

"Is this all sent away? "

"Huh? Lord, is there any problem? "The blind man was a little confused.

Uncle Zheng looked at the sword master standing next to him, shook his head and said:

"It's okay, Li Qing should be able to arrange it herself. ”

Uncle Zheng also prepared a set of Mr. Jiao made of snowy old mountain wood.

This wood is very precious,

waterproof,

p>

Cold-resistant,

It can keep the temperature when held for a long time.

Savage tribes often use it as medicine to treat diseases such as rheumatism and typhoid.

This was originally intended to be given to the Queen Mother of Jin by Uncle Zheng, but now it seems that it should be sent to the palace.

This is said in front of the Sword Master. I was too embarrassed to say it. After all, the Sword Master’s surname was Yu. Why did you worry about giving this thing to the Queen Mother?

The blind man didn’t expect that his master and Siniang would actually return it? Having prepared this gift, there was nothing he could do about it. Even if things were going as expected, it would not be considered unexpectedly coquettish.

He just thought that Uncle Zheng was worried about the princess in the palace and said with relief:

"My lord, the princess was born in the Great Chu Palace, she can handle these things. ”

“Hmm. "

Uncle Zheng nodded,

said:

"By the way, I met that seventh uncle on the road earlier. "

Gou Moli, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised his head.

The blind man stretched out his hand, held down his head, and pressed it down again.

"The princess is awake. ”

“Wake up, what’s going on in the capital?There are many capable people, so she invited me to the back garden, but I refused and told her to come here to meet me if she wanted to see her. "

The blind man nodded and said: "This is what it should be. "

"But I can't guarantee that the crazy woman will really come over. "

Uncle Zheng pointed at Gou Moli,

and said:

"So tie this guy up first, so as not to suddenly Come out and embarrass me. "

"..." Gou Moli.

...

"Sister, why are you so happy? "

"Haha, didn't I go to Concubine Qin's place today to meet the Princess of Chu? "

"Is this the one that Uncle Hirano snatched back from the Chu Kingdom? ”

“That’s not true. "

"Sister, how does the Princess of Chu look like? ”

“It’s not like a beautiful woman who has conquered the country and fallen in love, but she has a certain flavor and can be regarded as a pleasant person. Alas, but after all, she was born as a serious princess, and the great Chu She has always valued rules and etiquette, and I think she does have a common sense in dealing with others.

Just looking at it from the side, I felt like I was being compared. ”

“Why should my sister be like this? My sister is also as beautiful as a fish or a wild goose. ”

“Sister, you don’t understand this. For ordinary people, beautiful women in the world can be encountered but cannot be sought. They need to sleep hard and think over and over again, but for a man who is truly powerful, For me, it’s just the flowers and plants that can be seen everywhere.

No matter how good the skin is, it is just an appearance after all. At this point, what is more important to a man is what is inside.

The nobility of that princess is something women like you and I, who were born among the common people, will never be able to raise. ”

Cai Guiren was born in Qian, while Ding Yi was born in Jin.

Both of them were born among the people and were later sent to the palace.

Cai Guiren was granted the title in the first year of Yongping, when the Yan army entered Qian Dynasty.

Xiao Liuzi once joked to Uncle Zheng in private about how lucky his father had been during that period. A concubine from the Qian Kingdom, thinking of giving birth to one or two princes with Qian Kingdom blood.

Uncle Zheng also said at the time that he really admired His Majesty for working hard for the country day and night.

In private, they both dared to say anything and make any jokes.

It was at that time that His Majesty came to his aid.

After that,

Jin was included in the territory of Dayan.

His Majesty also admitted several Jin women into the palace.

Ding Yiren is one of them.

His Majesty has also met occasionally in the past year. Staying at her place.

There have been speculations about Emperor Yan’s health between the government and the public, but after all, His Majesty lives in the palace, even in the past few years.The land of the Three Jin Dynasties has been collected, but no patrols have been made. Under the management of Wei Zhonghe, the palace is airtight, so the outside world has been unable to obtain accurate information about Emperor Yan's physical condition.

But there is one thing that cannot be faked or concealed.

That is, in these years,

the concubines in the harem have nothing to do.

The last person to have been pregnant was Concubine Qin, but that was only a few years ago, and the child has not been saved.

The last one to give birth to an imperial heir was Concubine Shu, the mother-concubine of the seventh prince.

It is impossible for an imperial heir to cheat. Even the emperor would not dare and would never do anything about such matters.

So,

The fact that Emperor Yan has been doing nothing in the past few years is generally regarded by the outside world as an important evidence that Emperor Yan's health has been in poor health since the first year of Yongping.

You must know that the officials of the Qian Kingdom who are about the same age as Emperor Yan have princes and princesses born every year, especially the seventh princess of the Qian Kingdom. Based on the date of her birth, her mother and concubine At the time of conception, the Yan army outside Shangjing City had not yet retreated.

The literati of Youqian State even wrote a poem specifically for this purpose. The official family depicted in the poem remained calm and composed in the face of the attack of the Yan captives. retreat.

Of course, this is flattering and a bit shameless.

But it can also be seen from this perspective that the bodies and bones of officials in the Qian Kingdom have always been healthy.

"By the way, sister, what is this?"

Ding Yiren asked, pointing to the box Cai Guiren carried back;

This box is packed with It is exquisite, with fine and lustrous stripes. As you can imagine, the contents inside are also extremely valuable.

"Well, the princess brought a lot of gifts. When Concubine Qin called me to visit the princess, the princess asked us to choose. There are many good things."

"Look what you said, sister, you have only been in the palace for a long time and you have already received His Majesty's blessing. It won't take long, and your rank will be the same." Come up, when the time comes, I have to bow to my sister when I see her."

"My sister teased my sister again."

At this time,

A little eunuch ran over in a hurry,

"Oh, Mr. Cai, you are really easy for me to find."

"Huh? Little Eunuch Li, what's the matter?"

"Isn't this the envoy of Qianguo who is coming to see you today? He is in Qihe Hall. Have you forgotten?"

"Ah, I am here I really forgot about it. I just went to see the princess."

"My lord, you should hurry up and get ready."

"Yes, yes, I will. Go, go now."

Cai Guiren followed little Eunuch Li in a hurry.

Cai Guiren was a native of Chu County, Qian State. He was originally a family of an ordinary small businessman. Later, his family's business went bankrupt. In order to pay off the debt, he was sold toA caravan heading to Yan State.

Of course, the operation of the Yan secret espionage department was indispensable in this. Later, Cai Guiren was admitted to the palace and became the emperor's concubine.

When Cai Guiren first entered the palace,

Dayan and Qianguo had not yet started war.

After receiving the message, the Qianguo court did something very shameless. His son's business was to confer nobility to Cai Guiren's family members who stayed in Chu County.

Although it was just a flat-headed title with no fiefdom or settlement, it could be considered that the family was raised up.

There is no way, who told Qian Guo to have a great lack of confidence in Yan Guo at that time.

The backyard garden outside the capital today was built by the late emperor of the Yan people on behalf of the Gan people.

From then on, every time the envoys came to Yan, they would send female officials into the palace to meet the noble Cai and greet him.

The Yan Palace is also open to this, it is just a meeting, no big deal.

A while ago, there were frequent frictions on the border between the two countries. Zhong Tianlang led the cavalry to stifle the Yan people several times. However, as the eldest prince Ji Wujiang came to Nanwang City and began to take charge of military affairs, the Gan people were allowed to fight in several consecutive battles. They suffered a defeat in the small-scale conflict;

The Ganren, who did not want to expand the war, immediately sent an envoy to pray for another peace negotiation on the border. Now that the envoy is here, according to previous practice, you still have to come and see this place again. A nobleman from Cai.

And Cai Guiren is also very enthusiastic about this kind of visit from "family members". Firstly, this makes this poor woman feel that she is also a member of her natal family. Secondly, she can also get help from the mission. The female official got some information about her parents and brothers.

But today, she really forgot about the day because of seeing the princess.

Cai Guiren left in a hurry,

forgot the box left on the stone table in the pavilion.

Ding Yiren wanted to call her, but he hesitated and did not call. Instead, he picked up the box and walked back to his dormitory.

As soon as she returned to the dormitory and put down the box, a palace maid came to report that Concubine Qin had asked her to come over.

Because the princess distributed things today, but those who could get them were all high-grade concubines and nobles. Concubine Qin was a harem steward who knew how to behave, so she opened her own dressing drawer to let those pleasant people. Those who agreed to this were rewarded and supper was provided.

So,

When Ding Yiren returned to his dormitory again with a hairpin, it was almost night.

The reason why everyone came back now and did not stay to talk more is because it is almost time for His Majesty to turn over the cards or decide where to stay tonight.

Ding Yiren put down this not very expensive hairpin,

said disdainfully:

"You have the nerve to give this piece of shit away, you really think I haven't seen it. Are you from the world? "

Ding Yi was born into a wealthy family in Jin, and he has been accustomed to fine clothes and fine food since he was a child.

Soon,

The exquisite box that Ding Yiren got from Cai Guiren has a chain lock on it. It is not difficult to open, but it gives people a very clever feeling.

"Bata, Bata, Bata, Bata..."

Open one button after another,

Ding Yiren finally opened the box slowly,< /p>

"What is this?"

Ding Yiren picked up an extremely exquisite Mr. Jiao from the box. This thing was actually a little warm when he started it.

But this look,

looks,

looks;

At this moment,

Ding Yiren suddenly noticed a figure beside him. He immediately turned around and saw His Majesty Emperor Yan, who had come in at some unknown time and was not informed at all.

At this time,

Emperor Yan’s face was

very gloomy and heavy.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

"It seems that I can't satisfy you anymore."
