Ben Hou is ill

"Is what you said true?"

"What I said is true, I dare not lie to Your Majesty."

The emperor fell into silence for a while, and then said: "Do you know why Qin Feng came to Beijing?"

Yan Zhaoge said: "I don't know." In fact, she had some guesses in her heart, but she still had to pretend not to know, as an emperor would not like a courtier who is too smart.

"Two months ago, General Zhengxi asked for the princess for his eldest son, Qin Feng. There is only one royal princess now, and that is the eldest princess, my only imperial sister." The emperor said: "When the first emperor passed away, Xu eldest princess As long as I live as I wish, I also promised that I would never force the imperial sister. Therefore, I did not agree. I have to wait for the imperial sister to nod, as long as the imperial sister is willing, I will marry anyone."

Yan Zhaoge already understood what the emperor wanted to say.

"Yan Zhaoge, from the bottom of my heart, I don't want the imperial sister to marry you, Yan Yongyue. You are the only direct descendant of the Yan Kingdom, and you are not yet a princess, but my imperial sister is the eldest princess of the Jin Dynasty. Apart from being married, who else is worthy? You Tell me, are you worthy?"

"The minister is not worthy." Yan Zhaoge said.It wasn't that she was flattering the emperor. With the current situation, she really didn't deserve to let the eldest princess marry. If she wasn't a direct descendant of the Yan Kingdom, then the eldest princess would be a piece of cake from the sky.In Chang'an, there are many sons of princes who are willing to Shangchang Princess, and it is not surprising that she is in it now.

"It's good that you know. But sister Huang's heart is pleasing to you, which is different from that of Marquis Changping, do you understand?"

"I understand." How could Yan Zhaoge not understand? There are two kinds of pleasing in this world, only pleasing and not pleasing. .

"It's good if you understand." The emperor nodded. Recently, the discomfort of stagnation of qi and blood in his chest has been relieved a lot. He talked too much, and his throat felt very dry and itchy, so he picked up the tea placed beside him and drank it. "The eldest princess cannot be married. If you marry into the royal family, the people will definitely criticize you. How do you decide?"

Yan Zhaoge thought for a while, and said: "I have a widow's disease, so I can't take on the important task of multiplying my descendants."

The emperor suddenly spit out a mouthful of tea, fortunately Yan Zhaoge was sitting beside him, if they were sitting face to face as before, this mouthful of tea would probably be sprayed on Yan Zhaoge's face.He wiped the tea from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and looked at Yan Zhaoge in amazement.

This is really unexpected, the emperor just wanted him to ask Princess Shangchang in front of the courtiers in the early court, to be more sincere, to save face and work well, and the courtiers did not dare to criticize publicly.It's just that Yan Zhaoge didn't expect that Yan Zhaoge's thinking was so deviant, and he found a different way, which made people feel awkward.

What is widow's disease?Originally it was said that dukes are lustful, but as long as men have power and money, how many men are not lustful?It is so rare, so there is no need to refer to lust as a disease of widows.As far as the emperor knew, there were several important officials in the court who insisted not to marry after losing their wives, but took in a few beautiful concubines, and were praised by others for their deep love and righteousness. He heard that he wanted to spit on each other's face. Shit's love is deep and meaningful.Now in Dajin, when mentioning widow's disease, it refers to that aspect.

"Have you thought about it?" The emperor couldn't help asking, heirs are a big deal, he can control Yan Zhaoge not to take concubines, but he can't stop Yan Zhaoge from taking concubines without heirs, otherwise people will poke the spine of.Moreover, there are a few men who dare to say that they have a widow's disease, even if they are teased by others, they will blush and have thick necks, wishing to show their abilities on the spot.

Yan Zhaoge is willing to say this, because he really likes the eldest princess, so he is willing even if he has no heir.Comparing with Qin Feng, who wanted to marry the eldest princess, the judgment was decided.

"I have thought about it." Yan Zhaoge said: "I have three brothers, and the younger brother is also a descendant. Even if there is no minister, it will not miss the incense of the Yan family. The brothers of the minister are the siblings of the minister, and the sons of the siblings are the brothers. Courtier."

Seeing that Yan Zhaoge spoke so sincerely, the emperor couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "It's not necessary... In this way, Princess Yu Qingyue is a bit too mean."

"Your Majesty, people's words are terrible. The world treats men as tolerant as the sea, and treats women as harshly as a needle. If I take this matter, the world will only laugh at me for suffering from a widow's disease, but they can only laugh at me for a while. It's just a chat after dinner. But if any suspicion falls on the Eldest Princess, it will become a basis for attacking the Eldest Princess. The Eldest Princess is a genius, so she shouldn't be dragged down by this trivial matter."

What Yan Zhaoge said is very reasonable, but which man can tolerate himself being the talk of the people after dinner?Even the emperor himself could not.He couldn't help feeling a little admiration for Yan Zhaoge in his heart.

"I know that the first emperor promised you to be rich and honored for the rest of your life, but the Eldest Princess is my assisted government and the eldest princess' consort, so it is absolutely impossible for you to be rich and honored for the rest of your life."

"My minister is willing to go through fire and water for the eldest princess, even if death is not a pity." Yan Zhaoge said in a deep voice: "If the first emperor prepared a lifetime of glory and wealth for my minister, then I will transfer it to my younger brother. Although this minister is not Cai, willing to be the pioneer of the eldest princess."

Approval was revealed in the emperor's eyes, and the word Qin Feng was secretly crossed in his heart.Although Yan Zhaoge only said that he was loyal to the eldest princess, he didn't care about it. There are too many people loyal to the emperor in the Great Jin Dynasty. One more Yan Zhaoge is not too many, and one less is not less, but those who are sincerely loyal to the eldest princess are not. It is very rare, even if Captain Huben is loyal to the eldest princess, the premise is to be loyal to himself first.All the courtiers were worried that he would be at odds with the eldest princess, that Chang'an would be unstable, and even the ambitious people hoped that he would turn against the princess.

But how is this possible?

Now there is a Yan Zhaoge who is only loyal to the eldest princess, he is really happy from the bottom of his heart.

When Yan Zhaoge left the palace, the emperor sat alone in the bedroom and meditated.

It's Yan Zhaoge, but given her current title of title, Princess Shang, it seems a little too thin, so I have to find a way to mention it.There is no credit for him in Beijing, Jinyiwei... I remember that the Thousand Households Office in the north of Jinyiwei has been demolished a long time ago, how about rebuilding it?Take Yan Zhaoge as the thousands of households in the north of Jinyiwei?Anyway, he just took up an empty position, and there are people who are willing to do the dirty work, which is feasible, but what is the reason for being promoted from deputy thousand households to thousand households?The war in the North seems to be a good excuse.

The title also needs to be changed. You can’t take the title of General Zhenbei’s son and someone else’s title. There must be a reason for changing the title, reason, reason... Why is it so troublesome to get a title?I just want to give you something, okay?

It really doesn't work.

On the other side, Prime Minister Zuo happened to meet Yan Zhaoge at the gate of the palace after meeting the eldest princess.

"I've seen Prime Minister Zuo." Yan Zhaoge bowed his hands and saluted.

Zuo Xiang was in a complicated mood, not to mention the matter of being scolded by the eldest princess, just the words of the eldest princess "Yan Shizhong begged for you, I think what Yan Shizhong said is very true" is full of aftertaste, and it is worth pondering ten months.Is the eldest princess trying to create momentum for Yan Shizhong?Or pave the way?Could it be that the rumors outside the palace are true?Jihou's son wants Princess Shang?Really married into the royal family?Isn't Ji Hou going to make a fuss?He can still vividly remember the appearance of old Jihou making a scene in the hall, like a father, like a son.

Regardless of other things, Yan Zhaoge was valued by both the emperor and the eldest princess, and his future is sure to rise to the top. He was born as a general, and he might be the next champion Jing Huanhou.It's worth it.

His brain was like a marquee, and the leftist said calmly, "It should be the old man who thanked Yan Shizhong for his kind words in front of the eldest princess. I am very grateful."

Yan Zhaoge was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect the Eldest Princess to say this to Prime Minister Zuo, and said: "Prince Zuo is being polite, this junior is just following the truth, Prime Minister Zuo is a man of integrity, which is admirable."

Zuo Xiang smiled wryly, and said: "If you are really high-spirited, you won't succumb to the power of others."

Yan Zhaoge knew that he was referring to the Duke of Shu, but it was inconvenient to point out, after all, the Duke of Shu had not been punished yet.

"It's almost noon, Madam must have been waiting anxiously at home, it's better to go first than the left." Yan Zhaoge said, it is a rule for juniors to give way to elders, and those with lower ranks to those with higher ranks. "The younger generation rides a horse, and the footsteps are much faster."

Zuo Xiangchang sighed, and said: "The day before yesterday my wife took the little girl to visit my husband's father-in-law and mother-in-law. The old man returned home earlier and there was no one there. Why don't you walk slowly and talk to servant Yan."

Having said that, Yan Zhaoge already understood that Prime Minister Zuo wanted to say something to her that was inconvenient to talk to her here or in Zuo Xiang's mansion, and it was inconvenient for her to visit Prime Minister Zuo due to her status. It's good to say it.She gave the servant in charge of the horse a piece of silver and ordered him to send the horse to Jihou's mansion.

Zuo Xiang was born as a literati, he had never been on a battlefield, and he didn't know how to ride a horse, but he came in a carriage. Seeing this, Zuo Xiang also ordered his servants to drive the carriage back to the mansion first, intending to walk back slowly with Yan Zhaoge .

"Wait." Yan Zhaoge stopped the servant, and said, "After all, there is a long way from the imperial palace to the mansion, and the sun is so strong. When we arrive at the mansion, I'm afraid that the clothes all over our body will be hot and wet, which would be unsightly. It's better to wait halfway." On the way, this junior remembers that there is a teahouse on Chang'an Street, how about letting the carriage stop there?"

Prime Minister Zuo nodded, Yan Zhaoge was taking care of him, he was an old man of half a century after all, if he collapsed on the road due to heat stroke, Yan Zhaoge would not be able to speak clearly even if he had a hundred mouths.

"After you."

The prime minister on the left was also humble, and walked ahead.I can't help but sigh in my heart that Jihou will teach his son. He only has one daughter, and sometimes he will be troubled by it. It is hard to imagine that Jihou has four sons and can raise him so well.

"There is movement in Shu."

"The juniors know."

"There is movement in the Northland."

"The juniors know."

"The Duke of Shu has a problem—you must also know about it." Looking at Yan Zhaoge's expression, Zuo Xiang knew that Yan Zhaoge understood all these things. Shan Yuan, after his daughter gets married, if the son-in-law is in trouble, maybe Yan Zhaoge will be there to help. "Then come to think of it, the Duke of Shu wants to marry a daughter to Yan Shizhong, did Yan Shizhong know about this?"

Yan Zhaoge was dumbfounded, she really didn't know about this, what?

"The Duke of Shu has a daughter who was named Princess Anle. On the day the Duke of Shu proclaimed that he was an official in Yujie, Yan Shizhong got Princess Anle's sachet and handkerchief, and asked His Majesty to marry her in the later court."

Yan Zhaoge took a deep breath, the Duke of Shu is really good at calculating, if she really didn't take it seriously that day, and casually threw away the sachet, she would have fallen into the trap, the Duke of Shu must have someone behind him to arrange such a bridge. It's not a problem to find a few noble ladies to say that she took the sachet handkerchief with her own hands. Fortunately, fortunately, it was given to Jin Yiwei that day.

"Left Prime Minister, this junior didn't catch any sachets, but the Jin Yiwei who accompanied him picked one up. Why don't the Duke of Shu go to the Jin Yiwei Yamen to ask?"

Prime Minister Zuo was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud.

What a hero.

The author has something to say: I found Yan Zhaoge's words to be a bit lame.

The champion Jing Huanhou is Huo Qubing.
