after being kidnapped by the general

Yuan Li hadn't spent enough time with his parents, and it was time to go to Chu Palace in a blink of an eye.

The people in Chu Palace couldn't wait for a moment. Just after dawn, the carriage waited outside the county magistrate's mansion and unloaded a lot of mahogany boxes.

The Yuan family didn't take advantage of Chu's palace. As many things as Chu's palace sent, Yuan Song sorted out many things and sent them back. His attitude was neither humble nor overbearing.

After the carriage set off, Yuanli lifted the curtains and saw his parents seeing him off with tears in his eyes. He endured the melancholy in his heart and waved to his parents with a smile.

Seeing his bright smile as if he was carefree when he was young, Chen couldn't help but took two steps forward, "Li'er..."

Yuan Song held her back, endured the pain of parting, and waved towards Yuan Li.

Go ahead.

Go as soon as possible, return as soon as possible, and wait for the day when you return to your hometown as a father.

The carriage gradually drifted away, and Yuan Li lowered the curtain until he could no longer see his parents.

He sighed lightly, but quickly regained his spirits.

Ruyang is only a hundred miles away from Luoyang, and Yuanli has been independent since he was a child in his previous life. Although there is a feeling of parting, it is not strong.

He was still thinking about what his father had told him about Chu Palace.

The ancestor of the Chu Palace was a close friend who fought with the founding emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After the founding of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Taizu established five kings with different surnames, including the Chu Palace.Naturally, he was full of joy when he became king, but the more time passed, the more regretful Taizu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty became. The five kings with different surnames became a knot in his heart, so he began to try every means to eradicate these kings with different surnames.

Up to now, only two families of different surname kings are still there.One family is the king of Chu who left the fief obediently, consciously going to Beijing to live under the eyes of the emperor, and the other family is the king of Chen Chenliu who is supporting himself in the fief.

There is a piercing in the eyes of King Chen, but the King of Chu has won the favor of the emperor. Even now, Chu Mingfeng, the eldest son of King Chu, is the second assistant of the cabinet before he arrives, known as Xiaoge Lao.

The king of Chu has two sons, each of whom has both talent and appearance, and is a prime minister.The eldest son, Chu Mingfeng, was the one who needed Yuanli to celebrate. He had been in poor health since he was a child, but he was extremely intelligent.As for the second son, Chu Hechao, Yuan Li didn't know much about him. He only knew that he had made great military exploits and had a fierce reputation. According to legend, he had a green face and long fangs, which could stop children from crying at night.

Because Chu Palace gave Yuanli a lot of preferential treatment, Yuanli also showed corresponding sincerity.He specially learned a lot about Chu Mingfeng's deeds, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this weak and powerful official was extremely difficult to deal with. After reading it, he asked the old eunuch Yang Gonggong who came to pick him up from the Chu Palace about Chu Mingfeng. Mingfeng's business.

The old eunuch was obviously very happy to see Yuan Li and Chu Mingfeng "loving husband and wife", so he knew everything and said everything in a good way.

But Yuan Li listened, and from the clues, he became more afraid of Chu Mingfeng.

After talking about the eldest son, the old eunuch still asked, "Master Yuan, do you want to hear about our second son?"

Yuan Li shook his head honestly, "He doesn't need it."

No communication, no point wasting time.

The old eunuch smacked his lips regretfully, and then told Yuan Li about other things about Chu Palace.

This talk went all the way to Luoyang, when it was getting late at Chu Wang's mansion, Yuan Li climbed out of the carriage exhausted, feeling that riding a carriage was much more tiring than riding a horse.

He stretched his muscles and bones, and looked up at the Chu Palace.Two big red lanterns have been hung in front of the gate of King Chu's Mansion, red cloth strips and silk flowers are wrapped around the door beams, and two huge "Xi" characters are pasted on them.

There is already a sense of joy and excitement.

The old eunuch saw that he saw the gods, and was afraid that Yuan Li would regret it, so he hurriedly said: "Young Master Yuan, let's go?"

Yuan Li came back to his senses, ordered people to take good things, and followed the old eunuch into the gate of Chu Palace.

Among the guards who escorted him to Luoyang, more than [-] people were brought by Yuanli himself.Not only the guards, but also three servants who have been following him.

These people are the elite among the elites. They grew up with Yuanli and are loyal to Yuanli. They will be the foundation for Yuanli to take root in Luoyang.

Yuanli prepared exquisite gifts for every master of Chu Palace.But the road led by the old eunuch did not lead to the main courtyard, Yuan Li was puzzled, "Eunuch Yang, won't you take me to meet the king and wife of Chu?"

"Madam told the slaves," Eunuch Yang said cheerfully, carrying his robe, "Master, you will be on a busy day today, and you will be on the top of the branches at the moment, so you should rest first. When you rest well, it will not be too late to see you tomorrow."

Yuan Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "But tomorrow is the day to worship and get married."

Eunuch Yang said leisurely: "You listen to the old slave, just relax!"

Now that he has said that, Yuan Li will not say more.After a while, Eunuch Yang led Yuanli to a courtyard, "This is where you will live in the future. The courtyard has not yet been named, and it is waiting for you to name it. If there is anything you don't like, I will give it to you. Arranged."

"Nothing goes wrong, everything is fine." Yuan Li looked around the courtyard and said with a smile, "I saw a Taoist house not far away along the way, so let's call it Wendao Temple."

After speaking, Yuanli asked Eunuch Yang to thank the King of Chu and his wife on his behalf, and then let Eunuch Yang leave.

The people he brought quickly sorted out their luggage and checked the blind spots in the courtyard. Not long after, Guo Lin, the servant, brought a cup of warm and cold tea.

"My lord, there was a piece of news from the farm early this morning, and I haven't had time to tell you yet."

Yuanli took off his outer robe, and untied the aching belt, "What news?"

Guo Lindao: "Wang Er, who just came here a few days ago, begs you to take in another batch of refugees."

Yuan Li smiled, the loose black hair fell on his back, the shadows of the bed curtains were bright and dark, reflecting on his white face like jade, there was a bit of parental sweetness, "you write back and tell him, let him count How many refugees are there, where are these refugees now, and how many of them are able to work and support their families. If these refugees have already come to Ruyang County, they must be silently crossing the mountain road , don’t be seen by other people. Also remember, if there are any sick victims, they will be resettled outside Ruyang County.”

Guo Lin wrote them down one by one, and then asked: "My lord, it would be fine if there were only hundreds or thousands of these refugees, but if there were more, what should we do?"

Yuan Li said: "There are still so many uncultivated fields in Ruyang County, as long as they live until the autumn harvest, they will naturally become people of Ruyang County."

Guo Lin wondered: "Young master, if there are too many people, we don't have enough grain to keep them alive until the autumn harvest."

Yuanli untied the bed curtain, "I ask you, how much food is stored in the family? How much is the daily relief for each person? Don't these victims have other uses before the autumn harvest? You are worried that the food is not enough. Can you see if your father refuses refugees to enter the farmer's household?" thing?"

This series of questions confused Guo Linwen, he thought about it for a while, and shook his head in shame.

"You only saw that we gave food to the refugees, but you didn't see what we could get in the future," Yuan Li said slowly, "manpower and food, these are the most valuable things nowadays. There was a severe drought in Hanzhong, and the refugees fled to Luoyang, but they were ostracized. The land is kept out of the city, even the emperor..."

His words became lower and lower, and Guo Lin couldn't hear him clearly.But Guo Lin didn't dare to ask any more questions. He continued, "Master, I have one more thing to do. Wang Er wanted to meet you. He said he had a reason to see you. The steward asked him about it." What is it, he said he would not tell anyone but you."

Yuanli became interested, "After getting married, there will be a day to 'return home'. You should make arrangements in advance and let me meet him."

Guo Lin should be, and he retreated to write a letter honestly.

The room was silent, Yuan Li stood in front of the bed in a snow-white coat, and suddenly sighed.

I am afraid that my father also knows that this world is not easy, so he does not refuse refugees.

Once these disaster victims become their part, they will become their servants, and Yuan Li has no guilt or anxiety about this.

Every era has its own way of life and value orientation. For these disaster victims, being a servant of the county magistrate's family is a great thing to be excited about.If Yuanli asked them to do nothing and only accept the daily relief rice, they would only be uneasy, worrying about whether there would still be food to eat tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.When the mind is unsteady, restlessness will occur.

Yuanli looked at the system in his brain again.

[The Encyclopedia of Everything System has been activated. 】

[Task: Enroll in the Imperial Academy. 】

[Reward: Soap formula. 】

The emperor is getting older, and his control over the world is getting worse day by day.

He's going to speed up.

On the second day, Yuanli was awakened by a burst of festive music.

Before dawn, a group of servants rushed to Yuanli's bedroom like water, pushing Yuanli to take a shower.

An hour later, Yuan Li had her hair tied up and put on a wedding dress.

This wedding dress is a man's wedding dress with a heroic figure, several layers are stacked on top of each other, each layer needs to be changed for a long time.But no matter how beautiful it was, it couldn't stop Yuan Li's stomach from growling.

The servant carefully fed Yuanli some pastries, and Yuanli tried his best to cooperate with them. After an unknown amount of time, someone called out, "Okay!"

Yuan Li came back to his senses, looked down at himself, and tugged at the hem of his clothes curiously.

Wearing a red upper body, the whole person seems to have an extra layer of brilliance, and he can't see what he is like.The maids and servants looked at him one after another. Yuan Li was fair-skinned, with a handsome body like a jade tree, hair like thick ink, eyes like lacquer, but one of his lips was rosy and healthy, and the thick ink had a great visual impact. Just like a heroic and handsome Meierlang.

The two embroiderers were busy checking where the wedding dress needed to be changed, chatting in low voices from time to time.

"There is a gold thread on the hem of the clothes, just patch it up."

"Oh, this waist needs to be tightened again. The young master is not short, why is he so thin?"

Yuan Li wanted to explain that he was not thin, but the result of regular exercise, but he couldn't say it.

These problems were all minor, and Yuanli didn't even let Yuanli take off the wedding dress. Shortly after noon, Xiu Niang had finished modifying the wedding dress.

In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, weddings were held in the morning, and the wedding was held in the evening.Yuan Li sat in the room in a daze for an unknown how long, and when the subtlety of marrying a man turned into sleepiness, finally, Eunuch Yang came over with a smile on his face, "Master Yuan, it's almost auspicious time, come with me quickly!" !"

Yuan Li woke up suddenly. He wiped his face, took a deep breath after his eyes cleared up, and stood up, "Let's go."

Chu Palace has been submerged in red.All the trees that can be seen are covered with red cloth strips, and the pink peach blossoms contain buds, revealing a shy and timid joy.

The sound of blowing, blowing and beating came from nowhere, as if separated by a mud wall, it was indistinct.

The wedding venue was in the lobby of Prince Chu's Mansion, and today it was full of guests and guests, and it was in full swing.

When the eldest son of the Prince of Chu's mansion got married, most of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had to come to congratulate him, and take another look at who the "bridal wife" was.Those who could enter the lobby were those who had friendship with the King of Chu, and more people sat outside, gave congratulatory gifts, drank a glass of wedding wine, and never saw the face of the master of the Chu Palace.

There were bursts of laughter in the lobby from time to time, but because the eldest son of the Chu Palace was in poor health, the excitement also had a layer of restraint.

As soon as Yuan Li walked into the lobby, many eyes met his face.

"Yo," a military officer clicked his tongue, "My lord, your eldest daughter-in-law is really handsome!"

King Chu stroked his beard and laughed loudly, "That's right, he's much prettier than your son."

There was another burst of laughter.Mrs. Yang glanced at King Chu angrily, and waved to Yuan Li, who was blushing, "My good boy, come quickly and let your mother take a good look at it."

Yuan Li felt even more uncomfortable when she heard the self-proclaimed Princess Chu.He walked forward in a dignified manner, and as soon as he approached, Mrs. Yang held his hand.

Yang's face was a little haggard, but because of the makeup, she looked very energetic.She looked at Yuanli carefully, pursed her lips and smiled, "I heard about your reputation before, but now I really like it when I see it. I know you are wronged to marry Feng'er, but you can rest assured, our family I will never treat you badly."

Yuan Li said with a smile, "Ma'am, you are serious."

Mrs. Yang scolded, "You're still called madam?"

Yuan Li just smiled and changed the subject.

He really couldn't pronounce the word "mother".

Suddenly someone from below asked strangely: "The auspicious time is almost here, why didn't the eldest son come out?"

Yang Shi and the King of Chu looked at each other, and were about to say something, when someone outside suddenly shouted in surprise: "Second Young Master is back!"

Chu Hechao?

This scream was like a thunderbolt piercing the sky.A general stood up immediately, surprised and delighted, "Chu Hechao is back?!"

The cries of the servants outside the door were still heard.

"My lords, I beg you to get off your horses quickly. Horses are not allowed in and out of the mansion. The front is the living room!"

"Generals, generals! It is not easy to see open-edged weapons on the day of rejoicing, so please put down your weapons!"

The nervous and anxious voice was getting closer and closer, and the sound of horseshoes was close to my ears.

Yuan Li followed the others to look out.

A group of armored warriors rode tall horses and rushed towards the crowd.

These people were talking and laughing, with firm faces.The leader is even more handsome, with a playful smile, laughing with the people next to him, but looking into the room without a smile in his eyes.

He is tall and strong, with a straight back, supporting his armor like a mountain.The muscles of the riding horse's legs are plump and beautiful, and the black leather gloves that are tightly attached to the phalanges are worn on both hands, with unusually slender fingers.

At this moment, this man was holding the rein leisurely with one hand, and the scarlet cloak was rolling behind his back, while with the other hand he was holding a whip and tapping his boots lightly, the whip was swinging slowly around his calf, and the whip came out. There was an evil smell.

It is far from the rumored appearance of the blue-faced fangs.

Yuan Li was taken aback for a moment, he thought that Chu Hechao was the ugliest among the group of people.

Fortunately, there was no joke.

Just after thinking this way, Yuan Li and Chu Hechao met their eyes.The corner of the man's lips pressed down a little, and he tugged again, with a bit of unfriendly coldness.He suddenly reined in the horse, rolled off the saddle, and strode straight towards Yuanli.

After walking in front of him in a few steps, a strong smell of blood and dust came over his face, and beads of sweat slid down the man's Adam's apple into his collar.Yuan Li frowned lightly, and suddenly realized that this was a dangerous person.

The man noticed his frowning, clearly aware of his discomfort, but still wanted to go one step further.A shadow came over Yuanli, and Chu Hechao smiled, "Are you my sister-in-law?"

His tone was inexplicable, and he couldn't tell whether he was thankful or angry, "I really thank my sister-in-law for giving me a big gift before I entered Luoyang."
