Because the news came too urgently, before the crown prince could think carefully and discuss with the two people, he received the news that Emperor Kangping invited his courtiers to enter the palace. If you really want to ask him for his opinion, he really can't tell you he is ugly.

It’s just that Emperor Kangping asked this question, and the prince can’t do without answering. Suddenly, the prince had an idea, thought of a way, hurriedly controlled his expression, pretended to be calm and said indifferently: “Son. The minister thinks that Brother Sanhuang has made such great achievements, so he should be rewarded naturally, but the reward must follow the rules of the ancestors. It is not appropriate to change the fief suddenly. ,If you change the land for him at this time, what should the people do before? My son thinks that changing the land is not possible, but expanding the land is still possible. Now the land of the third brother is only thirteen states in Hebei Road. You can also give him the rest of Hebei Province, and if you think the reward is too light, you can also grant him Hedong Province."

This idea sounds like a generous gift, but when you think about it carefully, it is still more perfunctory than King Bushun's contribution. Emperor Kang Ping was not very happy at first, but now he frowned when he heard it. Opening his mouth to refute, he heard the crown prince take a step forward and said: "Furthermore, Brother Sanhuang is not young anymore, he has already reached the age to marry a concubine. He has never been married before. , and made such a great contribution, the emperor should have given him an excellent marriage, so what happened to the emperor?"

The previous idea was a bit bad, but the latter idea was on the point. Emperor Kang Ping's face had already sunk, but after hearing these words, his expression became thoughtful.

The prince saw that there was something going on, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and said: "According to what I heard, there is still a young girl in Lu Shangshu who has never been married. For family matters, it is not appropriate for the third brother to marry her as his concubine? The third brother only needs a concubine who can let him have no worries."

When the crown prince said this, Emperor Kang Ping was a little moved, but Lu Shangshu shook his beard and turned black. This is not talking about marriage, this is pushing his own daughter into the pit of fire. Who in Chang'an city does not know what King Shun is? Temperament, a person who dares to beat even important ministers and princes, you still expect him to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?If he really married his daughter, he might not see anyone within a year.

The more Lu Shangshu thought about it, the more frightened he became, as if he saw a scene where a white-haired man sent a black-haired man, his eyes were red. This daughter is his old daughter, whom he and his wife hold dear, if he really agrees Not to mention that his conscience can't make it through, first of all his wife's hurdle is hard to pass, and he can't wait until his daughter gets married, so he has to prepare for his own funeral.

Lu Shangshu shook his head frantically in his heart, with a look of embarrassment on his face, he took a step forward and was about to refuse firmly but politely, when Grand Master Yang, who had been watching from the sidelines since he stepped into the hall, suddenly took a step forward, bowed to the end, With a face full of grief and indignation, he said: "Your Majesty, I have a book to play."

Grand Master Yang is a literati, and he doesn't like to fight for power and profit. His hobby in life is to collect ancient books and paintings, and instruct people to read. Subconsciously corrected a lot, looked at him and nodded and said: "If Aiqing has anything to say, come and tell me one by one, and I will make the decision for you."

It stands to reason that Yang Taishi, as the prince's teacher, would not do anything unfavorable to the prince, but for some reason, when the prince looked at Yang Taishi in such a state, his heart suddenly trembled, and a chill quickly came up behind him, and he subconsciously He wanted to say something to stop him, but he saw that Taishi Yang seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and said first: "I want to impeach the Liu family, and I want to impeach the crown prince."

Emperor Kang Ping obviously didn't expect that the thing Yang Taishi wanted to play was impeachment of the prince. His expression was surprised for a moment, and then he became more gloomy and looked at the prince more unkindly. The atmosphere in the court became extremely dignified, as if it was about to boil hot oil, a drop of water can make it fry the pan.

The atmosphere of the former dynasty changed suddenly, and the news about the great victory in Pingzhou gradually spread in the harem.

From the day when Emperor Kang Ping decided to ask Kang An to marry him, Kang An's mood became visibly sluggish. He stopped riding his favorite wooden car on weekdays, and stopped eating his favorite snacks. He hugged him all day long. Sitting on a chair with her favorite rabbit doll, holding her chin in a daze, she didn't know what she was thinking, but after more than half a month, she lost a lot of weight.

It was the same today. After waking up in the morning, I sat on the chair by the window, hugged the rabbit doll in one hand, and looked out the window while dragging my chin in the other hand. No matter how the maids around me called her to coax her, she refused to answer, and had breakfast until it was completely cold. Didn't get a bite.

The maid had no choice but to report to Concubine Hui. After hearing this, Concubine Hui sighed heavily, and ordered the maid to prepare some of Kang An's favorite food, and then took the maid to the bedroom where Kang An lived.

When she arrived, Kang An still maintained that posture, and she didn't even turn her head to look at her when she came in. It was Concubine Hui who sat beside her and called her a few times. She lowered her head and said, "Mother Concubine, don't worry, I'm not hungry. When I am hungry, I will eat naturally."

"Not hungry yet," Concubine Hui touched Kang An's face that had lost a lot of weight, and said, "No matter what, I still have to eat, otherwise, if you have something to do, what will Concubine Mother do?"

Kang An didn't speak, and lowered his head for a while before saying dully: "Mother, I don't want to go for a marriage. I heard that the profuse sweater on the jaw is bigger than the father, and I also heard that if this sweater dies , then the next Khan will marry the Khan’s wife, isn’t that against human relations? I would rather die than marry.”

Hearing the word death, Concubine Hui turned pale with fright, squeezed Kang An's hand tightly, and said, "Where did you hear this? They are all talking nonsense, don't do stupid things, do you know?" ?”

"Is it really nonsense?" Kang An suddenly raised his head and looked at Concubine Hui. Maybe he had cried too much these days and couldn't cry anymore, but his eye circles were red, and he said stubbornly: "Otherwise, I'll ask Many palace people, why did the princesses who used to get married didn't end well, and passed away early, and some even got married less than a year ago, mother and concubine, I really don't want to go to get married, I don't want to leave you, and I don't want to leave you. I don’t want to see the third brother again, I don’t want to die, mother and concubine, so you say I’ll twist my hair, okay? I’m a monk, and I’m a monk, so my father can’t force me to go and get married.”

Kang An was obviously thinking about this these days. Although his mouth was asking questions, his eyes were extremely firm. Concubine Hui immediately understood that if it really came to a time when there was no room for change and she had to make a kiss, Kang Anning would die. won't go.

Seeing Kang An like this, Concubine Hui felt anxious and distressed, and was also afraid and panicked, but as a concubine, she really had no other way to change Emperor Kang Ping's mind. Concubine Hui held Kang An in her arms distressedly, His complexion changed a few times, and finally, as if he had made a decision, he suddenly turned his head and told the maid, "Go and ask the Holy Majesty whether he is in the Palace of Mental Cultivation or which concubine's palace. I want to see you."

It was not the first time for Concubine Hui to ask for an audience. The competent maid next to her naturally knew what these words meant, and she couldn't help but anxiously said: "What else do you want to see, Your Majesty will not change his mind. The last time you knelt outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation His Majesty has not seen you for two hours, and this time, even if you kneel down, His Majesty will not see you."

Concubine Hui didn't know it would be like this, but this was the only thing she could do now. Concubine Hui patted Kang An's back lightly, stopping what she was about to say, and turned to look at the person beside her. The palace lady showed a serious expression, and was about to say something, when she heard a sudden rush of footsteps outside the hall, and before the man stepped into the hall, he kept shouting: "Your Majesty, happy event, great happy event! Ah, this servant just heard from Eunuch Tian from the Hall of Mental Cultivation that Pingzhou won, repelled the jaws, and recaptured Tanping Pass, so Princess Kang'an doesn't have to go and get married."

If this is true, it is really a happy event, but after so many years of fighting between Da Zhou Dynasty and Jaheo, more losses were lost than wins, let alone taking Tanping Pass back, Concubine Hui couldn't believe it no matter what, but With a glimmer of hope again, he subconsciously sat up straight and said in a trembling voice, "What did you say? Pingzhou won?"

The maid walked quickly to Concubine Hui, nodded her head vigorously and said, "Your Majesty heard it with your own ears, there is no mistake, and just now His Majesty re-opened the court meeting, and all the officials have gone, so there is still room for falsehood." Your Majesty, Pingzhou really won, His Royal Highness King Shun beat back Jai, Princess Kang'an really doesn't have to go to make a kiss."

The news was so shocking that Concubine Hui and Kang An were stunned on the spot for a while. After realizing it, they couldn't help but want to cry and laugh at the same time. It took a while to stabilize their emotions. Looking at the palace maid, they asked: "Pingzhou won, how about that?" What about Jin'an? But he went to Pingzhou? Was he injured?"

Concubine Hui asked a series of questions, the maid didn't know which one to answer, she was about to open her mouth to clarify the information she had inquired, when the palace servant outside said in a drawn-out tone: "The empress is here."

When the queen came, Concubine Hui was a little surprised, she subconsciously glanced at Kang An, and asked the maid to help Kang An tidy up her appearance, she also tidied up in a hurry, and went to greet Kang An together.

Concubine Hui originally thought that the empress was the only one who came, but most of the concubines came and crowded together with the palace servants in the yard. When she saw Concubine Hui, before she could salute, the empress showed a friendly look. Smiling, he said slowly: "I saw the weather was good today, so I called all my sisters to go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers. I didn't want to get half of the rewards, and then I heard the news of the great victory in Pingzhou. The army was repelled, and Tan Pingguan was taken back in one go. Naturally, this palace will come to congratulate such a big happy event."

The empress deepened her smile as she spoke, looked at Concubine Hui with a meaningful smile, and said, "Concubine Hui, you really gave birth to a good son, even this palace is so envious."

These words were supposed to make people happy, but Concubine Hui's heart thumped when she heard it, her hairs stood on end, she forced a smile, and said: "What did the empress say, if you want to be envious, you should be the concubine who envies the empress In the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, no one knew that the crown prince possessed both talents and virtues, and was most loved by His Majesty. At best, Jin An was just a silly boy with some strength. Didn’t he cause too many troubles in the city of Chang’an in the past? The concubine is really praised by the empress. Terrified."

"Stupid boy?" The queen smiled softly, "If you are really a silly boy, can you drive back the jaws and manage the fiefdom like a bunch of flowers? According to this palace, it's just Jin'an who hides his clumsiness. Concubine Hui Say it?"

How could Concubine Hui dare to say so, she just felt her scalp numb, and her back was sweating coldly, she forced a laugh, and said: "Your Majesty, you are joking, Jin An grew up under your Majesty's nose, and you can't hide your clumsy Madam Don’t you know? According to my concubine, it’s not Jin’an’s ability. It’s just that His Majesty pointed him to a few good officials of the palace, so that he didn’t ruin the fief. As for the border war, it was also the border guard. At best, Jin An is only a little bit of credit for the credit."

The harem was arguing, and the front court was even more noisy and couldn't stop.

The crown prince never thought that Grand Master Yang would suddenly attack at this juncture, he was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly sank, he looked at Grand Master Yang gloomily and said, "What is Grand Master Yang's intention? Hasn't the case of the Liu family been retried? Father has already severely punished him for his fault, could it be that Grand Master Yang is still not satisfied?"
