Daye has a vast territory. Although the number of people has been reduced due to years of war, there are many talented people in each army and town, and there are not a few young generals.

Girls can marry at the age of 15, and men of the same age are not much less generous. Fifteen or sixteen-year-olds get married and take concubines everywhere.

In addition, it is not easy to get ahead in the military camp at this age, so there are not many unmarried people of the right age, including the imperial guards in the capital, there are no more than a hundred people.

They are all young heroes, so it is not difficult to choose a son-in-law from a hundred miles.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, they had to dismount and walk, and all the people walked to the Palace of Baohe under the guidance of the palace people.

The double-eaved roof with glazed tiles, and a solemn plaque hangs on the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate, on which the three big characters of Baohe Hall are printed like dragons and phoenixes.

It was just Shen time, and the hall was already brightly lit before the sun set.

The inner pillars are carved with dragons and painted with phoenixes, and each giant red pillar is circled by a golden dragon, which is extraordinarily dazzling and resplendent.

At present, it is popular to share meals at gatherings, sitting on the floor, one table for one person, and sitting on both sides, presumably in consideration of the boldness of generals, enough wine has been placed on the small food table.

The well-dressed military generals are not comparable to weak embroidered pillows, but they are all outstanding. This time, they are full of momentum, high-spirited, and have no timidity.

Since he is a military commander, he can speak with his strength.

Xiao Qi's battle to turn the tide is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, everyone present has heard of it more or less, but they have only heard of him, but they are very interested in toasting when they seize the opportunity——

"General Xiao is really amazing."

"General Xiao, I must have a drink with you!"

"General Xiao really has a uniquely good face, I can't wait to catch up!"

……

Xiao Qi was busy dealing with the crowd, diagonally across from her, a handsome man in a bamboo green robe was staring at her so closely that he almost stared out.

Look at Xiao Qi who is surrounded by stars like the moon, he hatefully tilts his head up and down a glass of wine, his face is full of disdain.

They are all people who have never seen the world!

A person beside the man sensed his anger and comforted him: "Brother Qi, if you want me to say that you must be the son-in-law, who among you present can match you?"

Another person said: "Yes, brother Qi, who can have your wealth and background, you are the son of the commander of the imperial guards, and you are born with extraordinary dignity, how can there be a woman who does not love you? Her Royal Highness will definitely take a fancy to you."

The compliments were thrown out as if they didn't want money.

Qi Wenyu let out a foul breath and laughed triumphantly: "Oh, then I will lend you a good word."

He followed his father when he was young, and was lucky enough to meet the princess during the autumn hunt. He caught a glimpse of it and missed it to this day.

He refused his mother's marriage proposal for him, and refused to accept even connecting rooms, and made it his lifelong wish to marry the princess.

But he never dared to act.

Being a son-in-law, becoming a relative of the emperor, and being able to reach the sky in one step, who can resist this temptation?From this point of view, there is never a lack of competition for the position of son-in-law, not to mention that there are many talented young men in Beijing, and he can't get his turn in any way.

Fortunately, the emperor ordered to choose a son-in-law from among the generals, so he still has a chance.

Since serving in the Praetorian Guard, he is used to being the focus of the crowd.But now, someone has taken his place!

How can the disfigured Xiao Qi, He De? !It's just a mud leg, who is not as good as him in everything from birth and position, so why should you compete with him?

"They're all a bunch of ruthless guys!" Qi Wenyu slandered in his heart, and said bitterly, "When I become a son-in-law, you won't be able to catch up with me!"

His eyes wanted to pierce Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi naturally noticed such obvious sight.

She glanced at the source of the line of sight from a distance, and after seeing clearly who that person was, she quickly turned her head and continued to deal with waves of people who came to toast.

This man is nothing to fear.

She had met him before, when she was ordered to return to Beijing to pick up the princess and marry him.

At that time, Qi Wenyu was already the legendary commander of the imperial guards, he was full of spirits, but he was unhappy about everything.On the day the marriage team left the imperial city, he looked at him with hatred on his face, as if he was the enemy who killed his father, it was simply inexplicable.

Only later did she know from her colleagues that Qi Wenyu had admired the princess for many years.

When she learned the truth, she couldn't help but laugh.

It’s so funny, to be cowardly is to be cowardly, to fight for it if you like it, to marry the princess yourself, the person you like becomes someone else’s bride, and in the end, you get married and pretend to be self-pitying, and you hate me?

Simply sick.

Besides, if he had been brave enough, the princess might have been spared the fate of marriage, as she is now.

Good luck tricked people, and in the end he died at the hands of the imperial guards under his jurisdiction. Was he indirectly avenged?

This time there is a good opportunity, but Xiao Qi gloated and thought, you can't grasp this opportunity.

Got jealous before the banquet?Then if I marry the princess, you won't be mad at me?

Wait, she frowned, why did I accept the matter of "marrying a princess" without any qualms?

***

The more honorable the person, the later they come, as if this will make them appear more powerful.

"The emperor is here! The prince is here! The princess is here!" A long cry resounded through the hall, and the eunuch's unique high-pitched voice silenced the laughing people in the hall.

Xiao Qi, who had drunk a stomachful of wine, heaved a sigh of relief, and if she was fed more, she really couldn't drink anymore.I don't know whether the amount of alcohol is related to force. How can these people drink one by one?What about the prohibition of drinking alcohol in the military camp?Where did this drink capacity come from?

The emperor swaggered past, his clothes trembled in the wind, and everyone knelt and kowtowed.

A courtier can't look directly at the emperor, only from the corner of his eye, Xiao Qi kowtowed and saluted along with everyone.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of black, it was... just one look, and her right hand trembled uncontrollably.

The right hand, which was discarded due to too much poisoning, once carried her full of unwillingness.She bit it with her teeth, cut it with a knife, smashed it with a stool... She tried countless methods but couldn't make it regain consciousness.

From refusing to accept it, to practicing her left hand replacement calmly, to her death, everything originated from this high and mighty Crown Prince.

When she sat down flat, she pressed her right hand under the table, using the case to cover up, but her eyes were looking directly at the person at the head of the emperor.

He wore a black satin robe trimmed with gold thread, embroidered with the appearance of a dragon, and he wore a golden crown. He had a handsome appearance and a warm smile.

What a great style.

Xiao Qi withdrew his gaze, looked down at the wine cup in front of him, his expression was indifferent, the wine was clear, reflecting her sinister expression.

That's the look, the believable deceitful look.So much so that she was so bullied that she was willing to work for him, giving up her military exploits, and blocking poisonous arrows for him.In the end, he died tragically in his other courtyard.

Prince, what a prestige.

Xiao Qi smiled heartily.

***

According to the tradition of Daye, the crown prince needs to practice at the border for some time, accumulate enough military exploits to establish prestige, establish friendship with the generals, and win the trust of others before he can ascend the throne as emperor.

Even if the current emperor's style of emphasizing literature over military affairs prevails in the world, it does not prevent the prince from going to the border to establish his prestige.

He chose the northern border, and Xiao Qi took his life to retake the lost city of the northern border. The enemy was Liao, who was forced to marry his sister.

If it is said that Daye's marriage was to appease the restless Liao, then after Liao asked to marry the princess in exchange for recuperation, it was probably an even more vicious aggression.

In the princess's dowry, gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin were all available. The emperor wanted to show his great power, but was used by the Liao people to train soldiers.

After the marriage, General Xiao Qi of Wuwei seemed to be a different person. He no longer played steadily on the battlefield.She vigorously trained craftsmen to develop guns, cannons and crossbows, and then used them on the battlefield.

The battle in Daye was mainly defensive, gradually matured by the harassment of foreign enemies for hundreds of years, and strived to seek peace by war and control cavalry by footsteps.

The enemy army in the northern border was in the form of death squads, and it was difficult for ordinary swords to cause substantial damage to the frightening Iron Buddha.

Bows and crossbows are opportunities for change.

After changing the way of fighting, regaining the lost land is no longer empty talk, what the prince has to do is to take advantage of this shareholder wind, follow the trend and enjoy the benefits.

But he was praised for his fame and meritorious deeds, and he even killed the donkey without shame, saying that he would raise her.

Three cardinal principles and five constant principles, a good wife and a beautiful woman, a husband and a child, and the same eyebrows... One hat after another is suppressed, as if her achievements and victories have become deviant. She is a woman, and she is the original sin.

The fault is that she wants to be a human being.

Therefore, General Wuwei, who was praised by the world as a hero, was a man who died heroically to save the prince, while the woman Xiao Qi was only fit to hide in the prince's other courtyard as a toy attached to others.

It is called a canary at a good point, and a parasite at a bad point.

Having seen the lonely smoke in the desert, the mountains and rivers of the rivers and seas, and the sunset over the long river, the so-called clothes stretching out hands in other courtyards is more like a humiliation.

***

Not reconciled, why!

Xiao Qi's left hand also reached under the table to hold down his trembling right hand. This hand, which had been poisoned to protect him from arrows, was still intact.

Her eyes were sharp and terrifying, a flame called ambition was burning fiercely in her chest, her burning heart was beating violently, and the blood in her whole body was boiling for it.

Want to hold the power and challenge this ignorant dross; want to tear him down from that position!

I charged and fought bloody battles at the border, was it just to work for you?

Just because I cast a good tire, you can easily take away what I traded for my life?

Weeds are also people.

Xiao Qi closed his eyes, then broke away suddenly, picked up the jug and drank it down in one gulp.She pressed her teeth hard and bit the tip of her tongue. The piercing pain and the familiar smell of blood barely calmed her down.

Instead of avoiding it, she sucked/sucked up the opening with all her strength. The wine irritated the wound and made her sober, unprecedentedly sober.

Xiao Qi suddenly laughed lowly, and the thought in his heart became clearer and clearer: If you crush all the things you own one by one with your own hands, without me who is willing to be your stepping stone, will you still be the person who is superior and benevolent?

Really looking forward to it.
