After rebirth, tear the black-hearted husband to pieces and step on the evil mother-in-law
Chapter 293: Conquering the North and South (Part )
The soldiers guarding the city were stunned for a moment, and the captain of the city gate led the soldiers to kneel on one knee and said:
"Congratulations to Lord Zhennan, Princess July, and General Dou on their triumphant return. Please..."
The captain at the city gate stretched out his arm, motioning Jiang Chi and others to enter the city gate.
Princess July pulled Jiang Chi inside and said, "Come on, let's go into the palace and take a look. It's just an unfortunate coincidence that we came back. My cousin's wife is about to give birth. How could my cousin leave her and go out of town to welcome us?
I am really curious about the eldest princess born to my cousin's wife."
Jiang Chi subconsciously glanced at Princess July's belly and wondered, "I'm working hard, too. Please give me a princess."
With a "pa..." sound, Princess July slapped Jiang Chi on the shoulder and spat, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
After saying that, Princess July pulled Jiang Chi into the carriage.
Dou Tong shook his head helplessly when he heard and saw this. Ever since they set out to attack the southern border, his tent had been next to Jiang Chi's tent. As long as there was no attack, Jiang Chi would not be idle, and sometimes he would even work for two hours without stopping.
This was extreme torture for Dou Tong, who had not yet married.
He sighed repeatedly, jumped on his horse, followed Jiang Chi and Princess July into the palace, and headed straight for Fulu Palace.
The gate of Fulu Palace was full of officials, all shouting, "Congratulations to your majesty and the queen on the birth of the princess."
Du Zhong invited Princess July and Jiang Chi into Fulu Palace, and Dou Tong subconsciously followed them in.
He lowered his head to think about something, and accidentally bumped into the painting curtain walking hurriedly, and the wedding money fell all over the floor. Dou Tong then calmed down and hurriedly squatted down to help pick up the wedding money on the ground, and said: "It was an unintentional mistake, please don't blame the palace maid."
The moment he raised his head, his eyes met with the painted curtain. A flash of light suddenly appeared in their eyes, and then they smiled faintly.
Hualian said, "It's OK. Thank you General Dou for your help."
After saying this, he carried the wedding money out of the courtyard and distributed it to the ministers who were standing outside the courtyard with their heads bowed.
This is a royal custom of the Tianqi Kingdom, which is meant to bring good luck.
Dou Tong stared at Hualian's back without blinking. Suddenly, his shoulders felt heavy. When he came back to his senses, he heard Jiang Chi's teasing words:
"Why? Do you want to get married? Miss Hualian is my sister's personal maid. She is a good girl. You have made great contributions in the war this time. If you tell His Majesty that you want to marry her, maybe my sister will ask Miss Hualian for her opinion and agree."
Dou Tong asked, "You didn't enter the palace with Princess July?"
Jiang Chi asked, "My sister just gave birth to a princess, how can I enter the palace?"
The two chatted in the courtyard for a long time before they saw Qin Yan come out of the palace gate with a happy face and said to them, "Go to the Zhengde Palace and wait for me first."
Qin Yan walked out of the gate of Fulu Palace, asked the Minister of the Central Secretariat to stay, and asked the other officials to return home first. Later, the palace would send the Imperial Guards to reward the officials with a wedding meal according to their positions.
The officials dispersed, and Qin Yan took the Minister of the Central Secretariat to the Zhengde Hall, where Jiang Chi and Dou Tong were already waiting at the door.
Qin Yan asked the two of them to come in together. He first asked the Minister of the Central Secretariat to draft an edict, conferring the title of Princess Ling'an on the eldest princess born to Lin Luoling, with the title of First-Rank Princess. He also conferred the title of Marquis Ping'an on Lin Luoling's father Lin Tingxu, and the title of First-Rank Lady.
After the two imperial edicts were drafted, the Minister of the Central Secretariat left the Zhengde Hall. Qin Yan kept Jiang Chi and Dou Tong in the hall for a private talk for more than an hour, and invited the two to have dinner in the palace.
At the morning court the next day, Qin Yan promoted Jiang Chi to the rank of General of the Cavalry and Dou Tong to the rank of General of Si'an, and rewarded them with 100 taels of gold and 100 acres of fertile land.
After returning home from the morning court session, Princess July was very dissatisfied and called Qin Yan partial. She was also a general, so why didn't he reward her with anything?
Jiang Chi smiled and said, "What can compare to the generous gift that His Majesty and my sister gave you for your wedding?"
This sentence left Princess July speechless and she had to give up.
Ten days later, Dou Tong tossed and turned, and entered the palace with a heavy heart to ask Qin Yan for marriage.
When Qin Yan learned that the person Dou Tong wanted to marry was Hua Lian, he did not dare to agree for a moment. When he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a eunuch outside the palace gate report: "Leader He of the Silver Feather Guard requests to see Your Majesty."
"Let him in."
As soon as Qin Yan finished speaking, the palace door opened, and He Hongkun knelt down as soon as he walked in and said, "I have a crush on a woman, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to grant me marriage."
Hearing this, Dou Tong's heart skipped a beat.
Then, He Hongkun said, "I want to marry Chen Yin, the female doctor of the Women's College."
Dou Tong's expression finally relaxed.
Now it was Qin Yan's turn to worry. These two were generals who had been with him through thick and thin for many years, but the people he wanted to marry were Lin Luoling's personal maid and Lin Luoling's sister. How could he make the decision?
Qin Yan pinched his eyebrows and said, "This matter needs to be discussed with the Queen. The two ministers should return to the palace first. I will discuss it with the Queen and give you a reply."
Dou Tong and He Hongkun also knew Qin Yan's dilemma, so they didn't say anything more and left the Zhengde Hall together.
After reviewing the memorial, Qin Yan went to Fulu Palace to discuss the matter with Lin Luoling. Lin Luoling called Hualian and asked her what she meant.
Hualian blushed and lowered her head, saying, "Everything is decided by the Queen."
Seeing this, Lin Luoling knew that Hualian also had feelings for Dou Tong, so he said, "Didn't your majesty say that my brother and General Dou would set out to the northern border in ten days? Then let General Dou win the military merit and return victoriously, and then I will betroth Hualian to him, how do you think?"
Qin Yan thought it was great.
As for Chen Yin, Lin Luoling just mentioned it to Chen Yin, and Chen Yin rejected it outright.
There was no other way. After Chen Yin left, Lin Luoling shrugged at Qin Yan and said, "Sister Chen Yin is not interested in sex. Why don't you ask He Hongkun to find a way to get Sister Chen Yin to agree to marry her? As long as Sister Chen Yin agrees, I will be happy."
The next day, after the morning court session, Qin Yan summoned Dou Tong and He Hongkun separately.
Dou Tong stepped out of the Zhengde Hall with a look of joy on his face.
He Hongkun hung his head. He had told Chen Yin about this before. But Chen Yin rejected him twice in a row. He had no other choice but to ask Qin Yan for help. But Qin Yan pushed the matter to him again.
After leaving the palace, He Hongkun shook his head and sighed, "A marriage forced upon me may not be happy. I might as well fight for it myself."
After saying that, He Hongkun went straight to the Women's College.
Ten days later, Jiang Chi, Princess July, and Dou Tong wore armor and led 30,000 troops to conquer the northern border.
Unexpectedly, Princess July vomited as soon as she arrived in the northern border. Jiang Chi thought that Princess July was suffering from acclimatization and called a military doctor to take Princess July's pulse.
The military doctor frowned and said, "Princess July is pregnant."
Jiang Chi was overjoyed and wanted to send someone to send Princess July Yue back to the capital after she was three months pregnant.
How could Princess July agree? No matter how Jiang Chi persuaded her, Princess July refused. Jiang Chi had no choice but to make a condition:
"If you don't want to go back to the capital, then from today on, you can't ride a horse. If I go to war, you can only stay in the barracks. Otherwise, whether you agree or not, I will find a way to send you back to the capital."
Princess July thought about it and agreed immediately, and stayed in the military camp to take care of her pregnancy.
On that day, Jiang Chi had conquered three Xiongnu tribes and attacked Zong Gu's camp directly. Zong Gu came out of the camp to fight.
He smiled as he rode on his horse: "I knew that sooner or later I would have to fight General Jiang, but I didn't expect it to be so soon?"
Jiang Chi also smiled and said, "You didn't expect that this general thought of it when he first met King Zong Gu."
The last time the two of them fought at Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, Jiang Chi only used 30% of his martial arts. But this time, because Princess July was pregnant, Jiang Chi didn't want to delay and used ruthless moves.
Before the fifth move, Zong Gu was cut in the throat by Jiang Chi's fan and fell off his horse. Before he died, he said the last words to Jiang Chi: "In consideration of the wedding gift I gave you, please bring Princess Qinglan and our child back to the capital. I owe you a favor, and I will repay it in my next life."
As soon as these words fell, Zong Gu lost his temper.
Seeing this, Princess Qinglan, who was wearing Xiongnu clothing, ran out of the camp holding her and Zonggu's child, threw herself beside Zonggu, and cried heartbreakingly: "You promised me that you would stay with me until old age and watch our child grow up... How could you be so cruel as to abandon us?"
Jiang Chi took a deep breath and pursed his lips. Just as he was about to persuade Princess Qinglan, he saw Princess Qinglan raise her head, her eyes filled with extreme hatred, and she said in a hoarse voice:
“My royal brother arranged a marriage between me and Zonggu, but I disagreed. My royal grandmother privately persuaded me to marry Zonggu.
Didn't you agree that as long as I marry Zonggu, Tianqi Kingdom and Xiongnu will not be enemies? Since I married Xiongnu, Xiongnu has never invaded Tianqi Kingdom once. Why are you still unwilling to let Zonggu go?
My brother asked me to marry, and my grandmother advised me to love... If you wanted to kill Zonggu, why did you let me marry the Xiongnu? I hate you..."
Without waiting for Jiang Chi to speak, Princess Qinglan, holding the child, bumped into a general's sword.
Blood gushed out from Princess Qinglan's neck, and she never closed her eyes until her death.
Jiang Chi had no choice but to have the soldiers bring Qinglan's body back to the tent. He held Qinglan and Zonggu's child in his arms and went into the tent to tell Princess Qiyue: "Zonggu is dead, and Princess Qinglan committed suicide for love, leaving behind a child like this. What should we do?"
The two thought for a long time but could not come up with any good ideas, so Jiang Chi had no choice but to write a letter himself and send someone to deliver it to the capital at full speed to give it to Qin Yan.
Half a month later, Jiang Chi received a reply letter from the Minister of the Central Secretariat written by Qin Yan, ordering people to bury the bodies of Princess Qinglan and Zong Gu together, and send their children back to the capital safely.
A few months later, when spring came and flowers bloomed, Jiang Chi, Princess July and Dou Tong defeated the Huns. The entire Huns submitted to the control of the Tianqi Kingdom and were divided into three states and twelve counties, with three governors and twelve county magistrates appointed to manage them.
Jiang Chi returned triumphantly with an army of 29,000. Qin Yan and Lin Luoling led all the officials out of the city to welcome him, and the curtains of the carriage were lifted.
Everyone was shocked at once.
Princess July was seen holding a baby in her arms, and with the help of Jiang Chi, she got off the carriage with a loving face.
"What is this?..." Qin Yan and Lin Luoling asked at the same time.
Jiang Chi laughed and said, "This is my son. Look how much he looks like me. They are simply carved from the same mold."
Qin Yan said: "Every time I received your military reports, I never heard you mention Yu'er's pregnancy."
Before he could finish his words, Ningyuan Hou's wife stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Chi's ear, scolding him: "It's ok that you don't know your limits on weekdays, but the princess is pregnant and giving birth, is this a joke? Is the bitter cold land in the north a place where you can give birth to a child?..."
Ning Yuanhou walked to the side of Princess Qiyue with a smile on his face. He looked at his own grandson with his mouth almost stretched to the back of his head. He exclaimed, "He's so handsome. He looks like her! He looks exactly like her! He must be the princess's son."
In front of all the officials, Princess July saw that the wife of Ningyuan Marquis was reluctant to let go of the hand that was holding Jiang Chi's ear, so she had no choice but to hold the child and stepped forward and said:
"Mother, I'm not suffering at all. Can't you look at the child? Oh, the child seems to have urinated."
Upon hearing this, Lady Ningyuan released her hands, took the child from Princess July's arms and said, "This is your first child, how can you take care of him? Leave it to me. I am the best at changing diapers. I changed all of Jiang Chi's diapers when he was a child."
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone laughed in unison.
When they entered the capital, the people knelt on the streets and called Jiang Chi the God of War.
That night, Qin Yan and Lin Luoling held a celebration banquet for Jiang Chi, Princess July, and Dou Tong.
After three rounds of drinking, Jiang Chi heard two officials behind him whispering, saying that Cao Peng, the former governor of Xuzhou, had only been in Beijing for a short time and had committed a crime, and his three clans were exiled to Fenchengzhou.
Jiang Chi narrowed his eyes and drank a glass of wine thoughtfully.
The next morning, Jiang Chi returned the half tiger talisman that Qin Yan had given him to Qin Yan, and said, "Now that there is no more war between the north and the south, the tiger talisman and my military power should be handed over to Your Majesty."
Qin Yan took back the tiger talisman and asked Jiang Chi, "You are already the Duke of Zhennan. I really can't think of anything else I can give you. Is there anything you want? If so, I will definitely satisfy your request."
Jiang Chi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, can your words be counted? Then I will not be polite."
