major general

The daughter of the boudoir, she studied from that female worker since she was a child, and she also read "Nvjie".

Yan Zhen is different from others, her mother is a hero in the Jianghu, who made Emei stab into perfection.It's a pity that he was young and didn't understand the dangers of the world, so he met Zuo Cheng when he went down the mountain.At that time, Zuo Cheng hadn't become a prime minister, but was just a teacher, teaching a group of students to recite "Spring and Autumn" in the vegetable garden.

The scholar is angry, but the daughter is passionate.

Zuo Cheng passed the examination and took Yan Zhen's mother to the man-eating Jinlin.

Yan Zhen felt that her mother was unhappy since she was a child, she was always depressed, and she was fascinated by looking at the Emei.She was not the daughter of everyone, she was often ridiculed by the wives in Jinlin, saying that the number one scholar was handsome, and that the number one scholar was wise.

But when it comes to Mrs. Zhuangyuan, they all shake their heads.

Yan Zhen asked her mother in a childish voice, "Is mother not happy?"

Yan Zhen's mother smiled and said, "Mother is happy to see Zhenzhen."

The marriage was settled early, Yan Zhen's mother gave handkerchiefs to the one in the palace, but when she was pregnant, she learned that the one in the palace had died and the child was handed over to the queen.

Zuo Cheng often lives in the deep palace, and has long been soaked in officialdom to the point of filth.The second prince has no mother, which means that he has no relatives to support him. If he wants to seize the throne, it is not orthodox and it is difficult to gather strength.

The marriage was dismissed as a joke.

When Yan Zhen reached Ji, his hair was combed by a famous and promising lady in Jinlin City. It is said that this lady was going to go to another daughter's house, and she refused Zuo Cheng's invitation.Unexpectedly, on the day of Jiji, the lady appeared out of nowhere and said that she would comb Miss Yan's hair.

After combing her hair, Yan Zhen saw the congratulatory gift from the second prince.

It is a jade carving with a picture of a beautiful woman.Women in Yuzhong see people from their backs, but they can see their gentleness and beauty.It is indeed a bit frivolous to send such a jade carving to Jiji girl.

Zuo Cheng's face was not very good, he argued with Yan Zhen's mother again, and went to the concubine's room angrily.

Yan Zhen looked at the jade carving and asked: "Mother, doesn't father want my daughter to marry the second prince?"

Yan Zhen's mother asked back: "Do you really want to marry the second prince?"

Yan Zhen frowned and pondered carefully, and said: "Does it mean that if you are married, you will not be free?"

"No." Yan Zhen's mother held her hairpin steady and said, "As long as you really think you are free, you are free whether you marry or not."

Yan Zhen is just an ordinary woman, who bears the nickname of one of the five beauties of Jinlin City at most.

The crown prince and the second prince are fighting for her, not for her, but Zuo Cheng's support.

Zuo Cheng has always been thinking about the position of the head of the country, wishing to marry his daughter to him tomorrow and become the princess, and he can just stay at home and do nothing, just wait for Emperor Wen to die.

But Emperor Wen's position became more and more stable, and he held more and more power in his hands.

Jiang Yu, Zhang Lie, Yuan Qing and even Fu Xiaoyu formed a faction of their own to support Emperor Wen.

Marrying a daughter seems easy and easy, but the collusion with the power behind it cannot be hidden from the people above.

If Emperor Wen didn't like it, wouldn't you, the grandson of a dignified general who ruled the country, have to marry Fu Xiaoyu, who was a lowly businessman?If he took the lead at this moment and made Emperor Wen displeased, wouldn't he just give Yan Zhen a marriage to someone else?

Zuo Cheng weighed in his heart.

There is only one daughter, and she must be used wisely.

Before dawn, the ministers walked towards the main hall holding the jade plaques.The courtiers who are acquainted with each other chat while walking, and they dare not say too many noble things, for fear that if they are not careful, they will be involved in forming a clique for personal gain.

Zhang Lie was at the end, in the court, apart from Fu Xiaoyu, he was the most senior official among the young people.

Most people in the court knew that Zhang Lie was the grandson of You Cheng Zhang Kui, and the division of the family was not a big deal at the beginning, and now some people tell You Cheng how outstanding Zhang Lie is.

Zhang Kui still felt irritable at first, but over time he became a little swayed.Zhang Lie, who is also surnamed Zhang, is a descendant of their Zhang family.The better he gets along, the more prominent his Zhang family is, doesn't it mean?

Thinking of this incident, Zhang Kui was not so resistant, and occasionally he could chat with his courtiers about the Minister of Rites, Zhang Lie.

"Master Zhang, I feel better than usual today, but what happened yesterday?"

"Yesterday?" Zhang Lie recalled Sun Yu'er's naked/naked expression, curled his lips into a smile, and said, "The dog at home has given birth to a puppy, and it has become more popular, and I am very happy to see it."

The minister answered the conversation with a smile, thinking that these young courtiers are very kind-hearted, Fu Xiaoyu likes to keep cats in his family, and Zhang Lie likes to keep dogs.

Walking ahead, you can see a group of courtiers standing in front of you, waiting for the palace door to open.

Zhang Lie saw Zhang Kui in the crowd who was like the stars and the moon at a glance. Without hesitating for a second, he stepped forward to salute with the other adults, and shouted: "Morning, Prime Minister You."

Zhang Kui looked at Zhang Lie. Zhang Lie in his memory was still the extremely sickly thin man in a literati robe.

After three days of farewell, we should treat each other with admiration, Zhang Lie today is different from the past.Wearing an official uniform, his eyes are deep and determined.He was originally born with a magnificent appearance, but now after raising him for a while, he looks even more handsome.

Zhang Kui patted him on the shoulder with a smile, pulled the man to him, and said, "My good boy, Chunwei has worked hard this year, but he has selected a bunch of good seedlings, which are very popular with the emperor."

Zhang Lie glanced at him with a smile on his face, stepped back and saluted, avoiding Zhang Kui's touch, and said, "Prime Minister You is absurd. If the emperor likes it, the students are very talented. Your majesty I am delighted that there are so many talented people in the world, but Zhang has only done what is within his duty, so it should not be boasted."

Zhang Lie said it very politely, he and Zhang Kui didn't look like grandparents at all.

As soon as the palace door opened, all the courtiers walked in slowly.

Zhang Kui said in a low voice: "It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, your grandma made some moon cakes, come back to Zhang Mansion with me for a light meal later."

Zhang Lie raised his eyebrows, looked at him in surprise, and said: "Young Prime Minister is so hospitable, Zhang is really happy. But there is a loved one waiting for the reunion at home, I am afraid that Prime Minister You will not be able to get together."

All the courtiers left, Zhang Kui discovered that Zhang Lie did not deliberately keep a distance from him to avoid the charge of forming a party for personal gain, but really drew a clear line with him.

Zhang Kui looked at him and asked: "Zhang Lie, don't toast or eat fine wine. As long as I am still in this court for a day, you will be just a little minister, and you will always be inferior to me. You have been immersed in the officialdom for so long. If you haven't learned how to accept it when you see it?"

Zhang Lie couldn't hold back, raised his sleeves to cover the smile on his face, and said, "I want to return this sentence to Prime Minister You, and accept it as soon as it is good."

Zhang Kui didn't expect Zhang Lie to be so eloquent, so he snorted and said, "That day you won the second place in the imperial examination, and it only took me three sentences to get you dismissed and went to Licheng. No respect."

"People had to bow their heads under the eaves back then, but it's different now." Zhang Lie said softly, "You have already stood in the second prince's team, and there is no turning back when you shoot your bow. But I am deeply trusted by the emperor, and I am very young. Having reached a position that no one else can hold a candle to in a lifetime, you can rest assured and guess whether I will be able to climb up or not before the Second Prince succeeds to the throne."

Zhang Kui's face tightened, watching Zhang Lie pass by him, his young back was straightened, his hair was covered by an official hat, and his steps were brisk.

In addition to being favored by the emperor, Zhang Lie has another advantage.

He's still young, he can climb up again.

Zhang Kui's hands trembled for a moment, and he grabbed the hem of his clothes fiercely.

The hall was very quiet. Amidst the sound of retreating from the court if there was nothing to do, all the courtiers saluted Emperor Wen.

Zuo Cheng suddenly stepped forward, knelt down to Emperor Wen, and said, "Greetings to the emperor, I have something to ask."

Emperor Wen gave him a sleepy look and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zuo Cheng wiped off his sweat, and said: "The little girl is only twenty-eight years old, she is in love with His Royal Highness, and wants to ask the emperor to marry her."

Emperor Wen took a sip of tea, took a bite of the candied water chestnuts on the table, chewed them very crispy, and said: "Fu Xiaoyu's request for a marriage is my reward. You are fifty-six this year. It is impossible to climb to this position." Nothing wrong with it, it’s really shameless to ask for things with a shameless face.”

Fu Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows, thinking, is there anything I have to do here?

Zuo Cheng was made to break into a cold sweat by Emperor Wen's moody tone, and knelt down directly, saying: "The emperor calm down!"

The crown prince at the side looked at Zuo Cheng, feeling that this man was not successful enough to fail, so he took half a step to the side and said, "Father, my son and daughter are indeed in love with Miss Yan. Now the position of the concubine is vacant, and I want to ask my father for help." gift."

Before Emperor Wen could speak, the second prince, who had always been reluctant to talk in the court, jumped out and said to the prince, "My brother is so rude. It is well known that my brother likes Miss Yan. You are a big brother! Instead of offering a marriage gift, you tried every means to propose marriage. If you agree with each other, you are taking advantage of other girls who cannot come to the court to argue."

The prince was so irritated by the words, he pointed at the second prince's face and cursed: "You!"

"That's enough." Emperor Wen didn't get angry and prestige, looked at the princes fighting for a daughter, snorted coldly, and said, "Since that's the case, no one will give this Yan Zhenzhen."

The second prince and the crown prince couldn't help but raise their heads and shouted, "Father!"

"Pass down my will. Zuo Cheng's daughter, Yan Zhen, has a blue quality and a heart, and I am very happy with her. She will be adopted as a righteous daughter and named Princess Yi'an."

Holding the jade tablet in his hand, Fu Xiaoyu stood and looked at the expressions of the people in the court.

The prince frowned, but said nothing.Zuo Cheng was similar to him, timid, but he dared to be shameless for the sake of glory and wealth. This father did really well.

The second prince was different from the two, his eyes widened, and he bit his lower lip fiercely, feeling extremely remorseful.

Fu Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows slightly, knelt down with everyone, and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise."

When Yan Zhen was at home, he heard the noise outside, and after a while, a man wearing a eunuch hat pushed the door open, holding an imperial decree in his hand.

"Miss! Miss!"

Yan Zhenxin's head shuddered. If he really had to choose between the crown prince and the second prince, it would be better to be a stone girl for a lifetime.

Jiang Yu looked at Yan Zhen, and after reading the imperial decree, he helped Yan Zhen up and said, "Congratulations to Princess Yi'an."

Princess?

Princess? !

Yan Zhen couldn't hide his smile. After receiving the imperial edict, he asked someone to send Jiang Yu out, and took the imperial edict and ran all the way to the inner courtyard.

Yan Zhen's mother held a white handkerchief in her hand, and wiped the Emei thorns again and again, seeing Yan Zhen's panting appearance, she smiled softly, and said: "It's been a long time since we've seen us really so happy." gone."

Yan Zhen gasped while holding the table, handed the imperial decree to his mother, and said, "Mother, let's go!"

The imperial decree was not long, but Yan Zhen's mother took it seriously and asked, "Where are you going?"

Yan Zhen pursed his lips and smiled, picked up the Emei thorn, and said: "It's good to go anywhere!"

From all over the world, there are so many places I haven't seen.

As a princess, where can I not go——

Yan Zhen's mother took a close look at the happy look on Yan Zhen's eyebrows, smiled and held the Emei thorn together with her, and said: "Okay, let's go."

Second Prince: Gan, my daughter-in-law becomes a righteous sister.
