Liang Guo is also a part of the Central Plains, except for some national characteristics that were derived later, no matter in appearance or language, it is actually no different from the banquet.It's just that the country of Liang is rich and rich. During the generations of the Ji family, Liang State was the largest country in the Central Plains. At that time, whether it was Zhou or banquets, they had to pay tribute to Liang for peace.
But it is a pity that the emperor of Liang State did all the bad things, and one generation was not as good as one generation, so that when Zhou Yan and the two countries made great efforts to govern and expand the country's map by surrounding countries, Liang State was addicted to pleasure, and the courtiers blindly seized power and self-respect, making the whole country a mess Not to mention, I have experienced several natural disasters and turmoil and still don't know how to restrain myself, so the surrounding land was gradually eroded by Yan and Zhou, and now I have to send two princesses to marry for peace.
The eldest princess of the Liang Kingdom is named Ji Huayang, she is beautiful and talented for no reason, even through half a veil, she can still see some beauty from those watery eyebrows.The other little princess is named Ji Wanqing. Perhaps because of the brilliance of Princess Huayang, Ji Wanqing looks a little bit of a little bit of jade. Regardless of her appearance, her temperament is quite different. Therefore, when the two princesses entered the palace, all eyes were on her. Subconsciously locked on Princess Huayang.
Although the Liang Kingdom was defeated, since the other party wanted to seek peace and was so sincere, the banquet was naturally treated with courtesy. In order to welcome the two princesses, a special dinner was held.
Now there is no crown prince or queen in the banquet, so the Emperor of Banquet no longer has to let Han Ning sit beside him, and the other side is still the clan headed by Banyan. But Yanhuang was so eccentric that he directly asked Han Ning's table and chair to be moved up a step, to a distance where he could touch each other with his hand, which made Yanhuang satisfied.
Ji You couldn't sit next to Han Ning in the first place, after all, there was a second prince above him, and now he looked farther away from Han Ning, and glanced coldly at his own father, as if he were looking at an enemy .
Ji You's own father felt the coolness, glanced at his son quietly, and unceremoniously turned his gaze back, boy, you are still tender.
Han Ning, who was sandwiched between the two, ate the meat seriously without hearing anything outside the window, but the seasoning was a bit lacking, but fortunately, the original flavor of the thousands of ingredients made up for the lack of seasoning.
The opening of the palace banquet is the dance of the two Princesses of Liang, with silver bells wrapped around their feet and tulle covering their bodies. With the rhythm of the music, the breeze blows. Those who sit closer to the venue can even smell the fragrance of the two princesses. Every time she twists and lifts her feet, she is full of amorous feelings. This style is different from the vulgarity of ordinary dancers, but has a kind of elegant and seductive.
After the dance was over, the two princesses knelt down and saluted the Banquet Emperor with a slight |panting|breathing|, and they kept removing the veil covering their faces with their hands.
Emperor Liang has been obsessed with pleasure for several generations, and there are countless beauties in the palace. He has always been unbeatable in terms of appearance genes. Even Princess Wanqing, who looks a bit swanky compared to Princess Huayang, has a stunning appearance. Huayang is said to have a natural temperament, and with the charming Yiwu just now, many people were dazzled by it.However, God was quickly withdrawn, and what should be eaten, what should be eaten and what should be discussed should be discussed.
Hua Yang is extremely confident about her appearance. A father like her likes it no matter what kind of concubine he is, but she likes it just because she looks good, and she is outstanding in Liang Guo just because of her appearance. How many people want to see her? Needless to say, living with this advantage since she was a child made her more confident, but the ministers of the Yan Kingdom were a little bit beyond her expectations. They just took a look and showed a little bit of surprise, and they regarded her as an ordinary person , this surprised Huayang very much. When the car came, those people from Yan State looked at her no differently from those from Liang State.
When she raised her head to look at the upper seat, she understood that the young man next to Yanhuang was probably the king of a different surname whom Yanhuang regarded as a treasure according to the rumors. If he didn't pay attention to etiquette, if Yanhuang hadn't loved him since he was a child, many people would think otherwise in this current climate where the south wind is prevalent.It's just that the rumors didn't say how beautiful this king with a different surname is.After seeing the king with a different surname to describe a man with a beautiful appearance, Hua Yang found that he didn't seem to violate his sense of harmony.
Her gaze stayed there for a while, until her body suddenly became cold. At this moment, a gust of wind blew in. Hua Yang thought it was because the dancing clothes were too thin and cold, so he subconsciously looked away.
The Emperor of Banquet casually inquired about whether he was used to the banquet, and after getting a very official answer from the two princesses, he gave him a seat directly.Then General Zhan stepped forward and brought up the tributes sent by Liang Guo one by one. The eunuch who had already received the gift list at the side called out loudly. These are all spoils of war. As the people of the banquet, this moment is a moment of glory.After paying tribute to Liang for a hundred years, now he has received tribute from Daliang, which is enough to be recorded in the annals of history.
After a pile of flashy treasures, a white tiger was carried on it. The white tiger was so huge that eight generals barely lifted it up. General Zhan said: "The state of Liang is proud of the white tiger. Liang Qi and Liang Jun even named it after the white tiger." , this white tiger has been kept in the Liang Palace, and now it is being presented at the banquet, which is enough to demonstrate the sincerity of the diplomatic relations between the Liang Emperor and the Emperor."
Seeing Han Ning rubbing his chin with great interest, Yan Huang asked, "Does Ning'er like it?"
Han Ning shook his head: "I like it, I like it. It's rare to see a white tiger, but this tiger is already too beastly to tame, so I can only watch it from a distance, which is boring."
Yan Huang just wanted to say that's fine, he is not reluctant to part with such a big tiger, if Ning'er likes it, he can kill it and eat the meat, if there is any accident if it is injured, it may not even destroy Liang Guo Can calm his hatred.
General Zhan said, "White tigers are difficult to tame, but if they are tiger cubs, it's not impossible."
Han Ning's eyes lit up, he really liked this kind of white tiger, it was majestic and beautiful.
The Emperor Yan said: "There are still tiger cubs?"
General Zhan said: "This tiger is pregnant, so it eats and drinks food and makes offerings all the way. It is still so smooth and smooth at the banquet, and it will be ready to give birth in half a month."
Han Ning looked at Yanhuang with bright eyes, and Yanhuang immediately thought of everything: "Put it in the palace first, and when there is a cub, Ning'er will pick one you like."
Han Ning smiled happily: "Thank you, Uncle Huang."
This kind of situation has long been commonplace for the ministers of the banquet country, and those who are used to it can no longer get used to it. This kind of honor and reward is nowhere to be found, and there are more excessive ones in the early years, which can't attract their attention.
It's just that, as the general said, the white tiger is the sacred object of Liang Guo, and Liang Guo is proud of the white tiger. In a sense, the white tiger even represents the glory of Liang Guo, but now it is treated like this, it feels like, The entire Liang Kingdom is that tiger, which can be dealt with by the Banquet Emperor at will.
Princess Wanqing at the side subconsciously moved closer to Huayang, no matter what their relationship was in the palace before, now that they were sent to marry each other, they were the closest relatives to each other, so they would subconsciously approach each other for comfort.
After the white tiger was carried down, the tribute gifts were reviewed, and Liang Guo's petition for peace was read out, the palace banquet officially began.At this time, Concubine Jing, who is in charge of Fengyin in the palace now, said, "Your Majesty, since the two princesses have come here because of marriage, I wonder if there is someone in Your Majesty's mind?"
Yan Huang followed her words and said, "What's Ai Fei thinking?"
Concubine Jing smiled slightly: "The concubine sees that Princess Huayang has a good appearance, a dignified figure, and is born as the eldest son, which is enough to match King Cheng. King Cheng is also old now, and His Majesty should also consider life-long events for him. gone."
King De, who was sitting next to Ji You, held up his wine glass to hide the smile from the corner of his mouth.
On the surface, this noble concubine Jing has a general sense, and the eldest princess of Liang Guo has a noble status. On the surface, if anyone marries her, there will be support from Daliang behind him. Pushing it to the most powerful King Cheng who is competing with his son, he really has the demeanor of a mother who respects the world, and it is impossible for others to say anything wrong.
But if you think about it carefully, there is a big problem inside. King Cheng is now alone and unmarried. If he marries Huayang, he can only be a concubine, and the Yan Kingdom does not need women from other countries to be queens, although at that time he can choose another queen. , but after all, he is a wife, so his reputation will be hindered to some extent. Although he can't cut off that position, it is still somewhat awkward.
Before the Emperor of Banquet made a statement, Ji You said bluntly: "Since Concubine Jing likes this Princess Huayang so much, it's better to stay by King De's side. If it's not enough, stay in the palace and be with Concubine Jing." it is also fine."
This is considered very disrespectful. It is obviously your son and your husband. It depends on which one you mean.Even though it was a palace banquet, all civil and military officials were present, saying this was not only disrespectful to Concubine Jing, but even disrespectful to the Emperor of the Banquet.
In the end, before Yanhuang reprimanded him, a small laugh came into Yanhuang's ears, and he knew who made the sound without looking at it, so the reprimand turned into a nonsense that was neither serious nor serious.
Ji You didn't even dare to look at Han Ning, he just wanted to quickly push this hot potato out, in case the woman went crazy and insisted on stuffing the princess to him, wouldn't this force him to resist the order? The decree doesn't matter, if Han Ning misunderstood him, he would have to kill the princess and concubine Jing to find peace.
"Father, my son is not messing around. If I like it, I will naturally ask my father to marry me. This noble concubine Jing insists on pushing people who my son doesn't like into my palace. Is this noble concubine Jing doing it for my son?" For the sake of thinking, or should I respond to my son?"
Concubine Jing immediately looked at the Emperor Yan with aggrieved face when she heard the words: "The concubine just said it casually."
Ji You snorted coldly: "Just say it casually? Princess Huayang is the eldest princess of the Liang Kingdom. Although she came here for marriage, she is not a woman from an ordinary family. As a woman, how could Concubine Jing not know about women? How important is reputation, what you said casually is really casual enough, if you insult your reputation, if there is an accident, Liang Guo tore up the book and fought again, you can take this responsibility casually?"
Concubine Jing's eyes were red, and tears fell straight down as she looked at the Yanhuang without saying a word, with as much aggrieved expression as she wanted.
De Wang stood up immediately: "Third son, if you don't like it, then it's fine. The concubine mother only cares about your life-long affairs and thinks of you. If you speak so viciously at each other, it's too narrow-minded and small-minded, right?"
Ji You smiled when he heard the words: "I'm sorry, Second Emperor Brother, I'm still such a narrow-minded and small-minded person. I can't see your so-called concern. I only see that Liang Guo's peace is the result of countless banquet soldiers who sacrificed their lives. It was General Zhan who fought on the edge of life and death on the battlefield after several cold and hot days. It was I who wandered outside the customs and killed many small countries in exchange for countless gold and silver treasures. , how can you, a prince who only sees the care of your mother and concubine, know how many people's lives and painstaking efforts have been stained in a closed book."
De Wang never knew that Ji You could be so eloquent. It was just a tentative marriage that made him dragged into important national affairs. The key point was that he couldn't refute it. She stomped him down mercilessly.Chaozhong was originally mostly military generals, but at this time, many people looked at him with changed eyes.
If today's events spread, how will the world see him in comparison between the two sides.What those people want is an emperor who can understand them, know what they think, and bring them peace and contentment, not a ruler who only knows how to play tricks and doesn't know the suffering of the people.
Seeing that he was really going to rise to the international level, Yan Huang had no choice but to say: "Okay, you can say it, if you don't like it, don't like it, and it's not up to you if you like it."
Only then did Ji You sit down contentedly, and then carefully looked at Han Ning. Seeing Han Ning lowering his head and eating intently, he couldn't help a smile on his face, but Han Ning didn't pay attention to him at all. Disappointed, I just feel that I can't see enough.
During the debate just now, the person being debated maintained a quiet and decent demeanor, which made many people take a high look. Although Emperor Liang is stupid, it is a big country after all, and the princesses from the big country are really different.
The Emperor of Banquet sent his two sons away, and looked at Princess Huayang who caused the dispute: "Although the Kingdom of Liang seeks peace, the Grand Banquet is not a warlike country, and the marriage should follow the princess' wishes. I wonder what the princess thinks?"
Huayang stood up and bowed to Yanhuang Yingying, then said: "Thank you, Yanhuang, for your love. Huayang first came to Yanguo, and everything was arranged by Yanhuang. Huayang believes that Yanhuang will definitely choose a good Xu for Huayang." .”
This marriage is definitely not going to happen today, so the palace banquet should continue. Han Ning has always been a spectator in this kind of thing. Halfway through the banquet, after eating and drinking, Han Ning is going to go back to the palace, and he will return so late The manor was tossing, so I simply went back to Changning Hall to rest.Seeing this, Ji You hurriedly followed.
Han Ning waved away a bunch of court ladies and eunuchs, without even looking at Ji You who was following behind him: "You really don't care about fragrances and jades at all, you don't want to lose face like a princess today."
Ji Youdao: "Which country's princess is not a spoil of war, what face is there to lose face, what face is a vassal?"
Han Ning stopped and looked back at him: "Is that what you think?"
Han Ning's eyes were too serious, so serious that Ji You didn't dare to nod and say yes, but women are vassals of men, whether it's a princess, or even a concubine in the palace, a defeated country will become a victorious country Vassals, those who are treated better are filled into the harem, and those who are not treated are reduced to dancers | prostitutes | everywhere, and these two princesses say that they are married, but in fact they are just spoils of war, as he said just now It was just an excuse to show Luo Ji Mixuan's face, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart.As a result, when Han Ning asked such a question, his heart trembled, and he tried hard to think about where he was wrong, so he dared not answer.
Han Ning said: "You have been outside the customs for several years, but have you ever been to Shanjiao?"
Shanjiao is the name of a place outside the Guan, which is closer to the place where the Guan bandits gather. A few decades ago, Shanjiao was not even included in the border. It was the first place that Guan bandits robbed.As a result, almost everyone in Shanjiao practiced martial arts, and even helped the Yan army to extend the border. to survive.
Ji You didn't know why Han Ning asked such a question, but he still nodded and said, "Naturally."
Han Ning said: "I have heard that there was a war in Shanjiao, and Shanjiao City killed as many as [-] Guan bandits with the mass grave alone. It is a pity that Shanjiao City suffered heavy losses that year, and all the women and children in the city were hidden in wells and cellars. In the middle, the man picked up the weapon butcher knife, almost exchanged his life for his life, fought hard for several days, and finally waited for reinforcements, but because of this, there were not a hundred men in Shanjiao City, is there such a thing?"
Ji You nodded. Although the city is called Shanjiao City, outside the pass, it is more often called the Widow City, or Shrew City, because those widows who lost their men did not remarry, but condensed together spontaneously. , and even practice martial arts diligently.There were a few times when the Guan bandits attacked, and seeing that there were not many women in the city, there were not many men, so they were killed by those women lightly, which was terrible.
Han Ning looked at Ji You: "You don't have any ideas?"
Ji Youdao: "You mean, women don't have to be men's vassals. I looked down on the two princesses just now, so you are unhappy?"
Han Ning respects any woman, and never underestimates anyone. Although he doesn't know where this idea comes from, he feels that there is no such difference between men and women as the world sees in this era, it's just the general environment. In this way, if women are confined to the boudoir, if they are allowed to spread their wings, most women will not do worse than men.So he really wanted to correct Ji You's vassalism just now. A good general, or even a good emperor, shouldn't have this kind of prejudice.
Understanding what Han Ning meant, Ji You grabbed his hand and said, "Ah Ning, you are so kind."
Han Ning was full of question marks and wanted to shake off his hand, but Ji You clung to it, and said in a pitiful tone: "No one has ever told me this, and I never went to the imperial school a few times when I was young. I went to the battlefield. I learned everything I saw and learned from the battlefield. I know how to march and fight, but I don’t understand the deep truths. Tell me about this."
In his last life, he was called a tyrant because he killed too much and was not very proficient in writing. He only ruled the country with violence.But God knows that after he came to power, he only issued one order to kill, that is to behead those who disturbed the imperial tomb, and he became a tyrant in the world's mouth.If Aning is by his side in this life, he will definitely be a good emperor with benevolent government. In this world, only Aning can calm his inner violence.
Han Ning shook off Ji You's hand: "Since you know your flaws, you should read more books."
Ji You was even more aggrieved: "No, I can't read it. I feel dizzy when I see those densely packed words. How about Aning give me a lecture? I will definitely learn what Aning taught me."
Han Ning snorted softly: "Daydreaming."
Ji You followed closely behind: "It's night now."
It's a pity that Han Ning couldn't get rid of him in the end, and even gave up half of the outer room, but what Han Ning didn't know was that after he fell asleep, Ji You clicked the sleeping point, hugged him and lingered for a long time. The whole night, he was only let go when the sky was getting dark, and the next day he sighed that he probably hadn't returned to Changning Hall to sleep for a long time, he was not used to sleeping on this bed, and his whole body ached from sleeping.
On the carriage back home, Ji You kneaded his acupoints with a low eyebrow, and the comfortable Han Ning almost fell asleep again.He also wondered if he should treat Ji You a little bit better. As for the dignified King Cheng, it's very pitiful to be so subdued.
King Cheng, who was quite satisfied, was in a good mood for several days in a row, and the price of his good mood was that in the martial arts field, those soldiers were beaten away by him after three moves, which made some militants more frustrated and courageous, but This good mood didn't last long, because that damned Princess Liang actually started to commit suicide.
Yan State owns the Imperial Temple, where the ever-burning lanterns of the deceased members of the royal family are enshrined, including Han Ning's father and mother, so Han Ning would go to the Imperial Temple to light the ever-burning lanterns in person every year.In addition to praying for the royal family, part of the imperial temple is open to the common people. Because it is a Buddhist temple dedicated to the royal family, its status in the hearts of the common people is far higher than other temples. It can be said that it is full of incense every day.
It's just that it rained suddenly on the day of King Han's death, so there were not many pedestrians on the road to the Buddhist temple, and on a muddy road, a carriage with the royal family logo got stuck in the mud. The carriage is usually an embassy It is a matching thing, so whoever sits in it knows it without thinking.Originally, Han Ning wanted to skip it directly, but this was a bit too indifferent, so he asked people to stop the carriage.It's just that he didn't expect that the person sitting inside was not the Hua Yang he thought, but the silent Wan Qing who was following Hua Yang.
When Ji You received the news, he had just finished a fight with someone, and when he heard the report from the shadow guard who was following Han Ning, his eyes could kill: "You mean that Ji Wanqing got into Ah Ning's carriage?"
The shadow guard nodded, Ji You took a look at the sky, the heavy rain would get dark earlier, if the rain didn't stop, Han Ning might spend the night on the mountain today.How can there be such a coincidence in the world, it has only been a long time since I came here, and I have found out about Han Ning's father's death taboo. Ji You looked at his palm and suddenly wanted to kill someone.
But it is a pity that the emperor of Liang State did all the bad things, and one generation was not as good as one generation, so that when Zhou Yan and the two countries made great efforts to govern and expand the country's map by surrounding countries, Liang State was addicted to pleasure, and the courtiers blindly seized power and self-respect, making the whole country a mess Not to mention, I have experienced several natural disasters and turmoil and still don't know how to restrain myself, so the surrounding land was gradually eroded by Yan and Zhou, and now I have to send two princesses to marry for peace.
The eldest princess of the Liang Kingdom is named Ji Huayang, she is beautiful and talented for no reason, even through half a veil, she can still see some beauty from those watery eyebrows.The other little princess is named Ji Wanqing.

Now there is no crown prince or queen in the banquet, so the Emperor of Banquet no longer has to let Han Ning sit beside him, and the other side is still the clan headed by Banyan. But Yanhuang was so eccentric that he directly asked Han Ning's table and chair to be moved up a step, to a distance where he could touch each other with his hand, which made Yanhuang satisfied.
Ji You couldn't sit next to Han Ning in the first place, after all, there was a second prince above him, and now he looked farther away from Han Ning, and glanced coldly at his own father, as if he were looking at an enemy .
Ji You's own father felt the coolness, glanced at his son quietly, and unceremoniously turned his gaze back, boy, you are still tender.
Han Ning, who was sandwiched between the two, ate the meat seriously without hearing anything outside the window, but the seasoning was a bit lacking, but fortunately, the original flavor of the thousands of ingredients made up for the lack of seasoning.

General Zhan said, "White tigers are difficult to tame, but if they are tiger cubs, it's not impossible."
Han Ning's eyes lit up, he really liked this kind of white tiger, it was majestic and beautiful.
The Emperor Yan said: "There are still tiger cubs?"
General Zhan said: "This tiger is pregnant, so it eats and drinks food and makes offerings all the way. It is still so smooth and smooth at the banquet, and it will be ready to give birth in half a month."
Han Ning looked at Yanhuang with bright eyes, and Yanhuang immediately thought of everything: "Put it in the palace first, and when there is a cub, Ning'er will pick one you like."
Han Ning smiled happily: "Thank you, Uncle Huang."
This kind of situation has long been commonplace for the ministers of the banquet country, and those who are used to it can no longer get used to it. This kind of honor and reward is nowhere to be found, and there are more excessive ones in the early years, which can't attract their attention.

Concubine Jing's eyes were red, and tears fell straight down as she looked at the Yanhuang without saying a word, with as much aggrieved expression as she wanted.
De Wang stood up immediately: "Third son, if you don't like it, then it's fine. The concubine mother only cares about your life-long affairs and thinks of you. If you speak so viciously at each other, it's too narrow-minded and small-minded, right?"
Ji You smiled when he heard the words: "I'm sorry, Second Emperor Brother, I'm still such a narrow-minded and small-minded person. I can't see your so-called concern. I only see that Liang Guo's peace is the result of countless banquet soldiers who sacrificed their lives. It was General Zhan who fought on the edge of life and death on the battlefield after several cold and hot days. It was I who wandered outside the customs and killed many small countries in exchange for countless gold and silver treasures. , how can you, a prince who only sees the care of your mother and concubine, know how many people's lives and painstaking efforts have been stained in a closed book."
De Wang never knew that Ji You could be so eloquent. It was just a tentative marriage that made him dragged into important national affairs. The key point was that he couldn't refute it. She stomped him down mercilessly.Chaozhong was originally mostly military generals, but at this time, many people looked at him with changed eyes.
If today's events spread, how will the world see him in comparison between the two sides.What those people want is an emperor who can understand them, know what they think, and bring them peace and contentment, not a ruler who only knows how to play tricks and doesn't know the suffering of the people.
Seeing that he was really going to rise to the international level, Yan Huang had no choice but to say: "Okay, you can say it, if you don't like it, don't like it, and it's not up to you if you like it."
Only then did Ji You sit down contentedly, and then carefully looked at Han Ning. Seeing Han Ning lowering his head and eating intently, he couldn't help a smile on his face, but Han Ning didn't pay attention to him at all. Disappointed, I just feel that I can't see enough.
During the debate just now, the person being debated maintained a quiet and decent demeanor, which made many people take a high look. Although Emperor Liang is stupid, it is a big country after all, and the princesses from the big country are really different.
The Emperor of Banquet sent his two sons away, and looked at Princess Huayang who caused the dispute: "Although the Kingdom of Liang seeks peace, the Grand Banquet is not a warlike country, and the marriage should follow the princess' wishes. I wonder what the princess thinks?"
Huayang stood up and bowed to Yanhuang Yingying, then said: "Thank you, Yanhuang, for your love. Huayang first came to Yanguo, and everything was arranged by Yanhuang. Huayang believes that Yanhuang will definitely choose a good Xu for Huayang." .”
This marriage is definitely not going to happen today, so the palace banquet should continue. Han Ning has always been a spectator in this kind of thing. Halfway through the banquet, after eating and drinking, Han Ning is going to go back to the palace, and he will return so late The manor was tossing, so I simply went back to Changning Hall to rest.Seeing this, Ji You hurriedly followed.
Han Ning waved away a bunch of court ladies and eunuchs, without even looking at Ji You who was following behind him: "You really don't care about fragrances and jades at all, you don't want to lose face like a princess today."
Ji Youdao: "Which country's princess is not a spoil of war, what face is there to lose face, what face is a vassal?"
Han Ning stopped and looked back at him: "Is that what you think?"
Han Ning's eyes were too serious, so serious that Ji You didn't dare to nod and say yes, but women are vassals of men, whether it's a princess, or even a concubine in the palace, a defeated country will become a victorious country Vassals, those who are treated better are filled into the harem, and those who are not treated are reduced to dancers | prostitutes | everywhere, and these two princesses say that they are married, but in fact they are just spoils of war, as he said just now It was just an excuse to show Luo Ji Mixuan's face, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart.As a result, when Han Ning asked such a question, his heart trembled, and he tried hard to think about where he was wrong, so he dared not answer.
Han Ning said: "You have been outside the customs for several years, but have you ever been to Shanjiao?"
Shanjiao is the name of a place outside the Guan, which is closer to the place where the Guan bandits gather. A few decades ago, Shanjiao was not even included in the border. It was the first place that Guan bandits robbed.As a result, almost everyone in Shanjiao practiced martial arts, and even helped the Yan army to extend the border. to survive.
Ji You didn't know why Han Ning asked such a question, but he still nodded and said, "Naturally."
Han Ning said: "I have heard that there was a war in Shanjiao, and Shanjiao City killed as many as [-] Guan bandits with the mass grave alone. It is a pity that Shanjiao City suffered heavy losses that year, and all the women and children in the city were hidden in wells and cellars. In the middle, the man picked up the weapon butcher knife, almost exchanged his life for his life, fought hard for several days, and finally waited for reinforcements, but because of this, there were not a hundred men in Shanjiao City, is there such a thing?"
Ji You nodded. Although the city is called Shanjiao City, outside the pass, it is more often called the Widow City, or Shrew City, because those widows who lost their men did not remarry, but condensed together spontaneously. , and even practice martial arts diligently.There were a few times when the Guan bandits attacked, and seeing that there were not many women in the city, there were not many men, so they were killed by those women lightly, which was terrible.
Han Ning looked at Ji You: "You don't have any ideas?"
Ji Youdao: "You mean, women don't have to be men's vassals. I looked down on the two princesses just now, so you are unhappy?"
Han Ning respects any woman, and never underestimates anyone. Although he doesn't know where this idea comes from, he feels that there is no such difference between men and women as the world sees in this era, it's just the general environment. In this way, if women are confined to the boudoir, if they are allowed to spread their wings, most women will not do worse than men.So he really wanted to correct Ji You's vassalism just now. A good general, or even a good emperor, shouldn't have this kind of prejudice.
Understanding what Han Ning meant, Ji You grabbed his hand and said, "Ah Ning, you are so kind."
Han Ning was full of question marks and wanted to shake off his hand, but Ji You clung to it, and said in a pitiful tone: "No one has ever told me this, and I never went to the imperial school a few times when I was young. I went to the battlefield. I learned everything I saw and learned from the battlefield. I know how to march and fight, but I don’t understand the deep truths. Tell me about this."
In his last life, he was called a tyrant because he killed too much and was not very proficient in writing. He only ruled the country with violence.But God knows that after he came to power, he only issued one order to kill, that is to behead those who disturbed the imperial tomb, and he became a tyrant in the world's mouth.If Aning is by his side in this life, he will definitely be a good emperor with benevolent government. In this world, only Aning can calm his inner violence.
Han Ning shook off Ji You's hand: "Since you know your flaws, you should read more books."
Ji You was even more aggrieved: "No, I can't read it. I feel dizzy when I see those densely packed words. How about Aning give me a lecture? I will definitely learn what Aning taught me."
Han Ning snorted softly: "Daydreaming."
Ji You followed closely behind: "It's night now."
It's a pity that Han Ning couldn't get rid of him in the end, and even gave up half of the outer room, but what Han Ning didn't know was that after he fell asleep, Ji You clicked the sleeping point, hugged him and lingered for a long time. The whole night, he was only let go when the sky was getting dark, and the next day he sighed that he probably hadn't returned to Changning Hall to sleep for a long time, he was not used to sleeping on this bed, and his whole body ached from sleeping.
On the carriage back home, Ji You kneaded his acupoints with a low eyebrow, and the comfortable Han Ning almost fell asleep again.He also wondered if he should treat Ji You a little bit better. As for the dignified King Cheng, it's very pitiful to be so subdued.
King Cheng, who was quite satisfied, was in a good mood for several days in a row, and the price of his good mood was that in the martial arts field, those soldiers were beaten away by him after three moves, which made some militants more frustrated and courageous, but This good mood didn't last long, because that damned Princess Liang actually started to commit suicide.
Yan State owns the Imperial Temple, where the ever-burning lanterns of the deceased members of the royal family are enshrined, including Han Ning's father and mother, so Han Ning would go to the Imperial Temple to light the ever-burning lanterns in person every year.In addition to praying for the royal family, part of the imperial temple is open to the common people. Because it is a Buddhist temple dedicated to the royal family, its status in the hearts of the common people is far higher than other temples. It can be said that it is full of incense every day.
It's just that it rained suddenly on the day of King Han's death, so there were not many pedestrians on the road to the Buddhist temple, and on a muddy road, a carriage with the royal family logo got stuck in the mud. The carriage is usually an embassy It is a matching thing, so whoever sits in it knows it without thinking.Originally, Han Ning wanted to skip it directly, but this was a bit too indifferent, so he asked people to stop the carriage.It's just that he didn't expect that the person sitting inside was not the Hua Yang he thought, but the silent Wan Qing who was following Hua Yang.
When Ji You received the news, he had just finished a fight with someone, and when he heard the report from the shadow guard who was following Han Ning, his eyes could kill: "You mean that Ji Wanqing got into Ah Ning's carriage?"
The shadow guard nodded, Ji You took a look at the sky, the heavy rain would get dark earlier, if the rain didn't stop, Han Ning might spend the night on the mountain today.How can there be such a coincidence in the world, it has only been a long time since I came here, and I have found out about Han Ning's father's death taboo. Ji You looked at his palm and suddenly wanted to kill someone.
