"Fifth brother, she won't..." Fifth brother not only knew, but also told her to give up.

Wen Xueqing was trembling all over, bewildered. "Zhenzhen," Wen Wulang was still calm, reaching out to straighten Wen Xueqing's messy bangs, "Even if she doesn't want to, the people around her will make the decision for her. I'm not saying that you must marry so-and-so, even if you spend your whole life If you don't marry, the Wen family can afford you. But what about Ling Qiniang? Can the Ling family accommodate her?"

Even if he hasn't had much contact with her, Wen Wulang can still realize how outstanding the young lady of the Ling family is, or else Wen Xueqing would be thinking about competing with her?

"It's too late to put it in now," Wen Wulang looked directly at Wen Xueqing, "Quit early while you're not in deep trouble. It's rare to love and have to. I'm afraid that you will be too obsessed too late and become you It’s like you don’t even know yourself.”

Although he doesn't know what's going on with Ling Rou, Wen Wulang still knows Wen Xueqing very well - Wen Xueqing's appearance is clearly the embarrassment, determination, and suspicion of being rejected by the elders after the first love affair.

Wen Wulang never thought that it would be Ling Rou who gave Wen Xueqing a taste of love for the first time, but it is not unreasonable to think about it carefully.He and Princess Lekang were either busy with affairs, or returned to Linzhou, so it was inevitable that they ignored Wen Xueqing.Wen Xueqing was alone in Luoyang, she was not a person who would please and join in the fun, so she was inevitably lonely.

At this time, it is not impossible to let go of the past with Lingrou, an old rival who is also from Linzhou, and get together.

As for Wen Xueqing's eyes...

Wen Goro expressed doubts.Even though Wen Xueqing expressed dissatisfaction with Gao Qi before, it was more based on her talent and broad mind.In terms of character measurement, Wen Xueqing is still a little short of time.

With Gao Qi's lessons learned, the Wen family is very careful about the candidates for Wen Xueqing's marriage.

"Zhenzhen, maybe you think you can do it now, but what about in the future? If the young lady of the Ling family can't, what should you do?" Seeing that Wen Xueqing was loose, Wen Wulang continued, "You also know that today's world is not counted. There is peace, war is imminent, and no one can tell what the future will be like. I just hope that you will not be injured or regretted."

"At the beginning..." Wen Xueqing choked up, the fifth brother not only saw it, but also persuaded her to let go, "At the beginning, the fifth brother gave me the piano, let me, let me..."

"I mean if—if Ling Qiniang can really treat you like you did to her, how difficult would it be to get married with a ten thousand gold dowry gift?"

Wen Wulang comforted Wen Xueqing: "It's getting late, so I won't bother you anymore. Think about it, how sincere is the young lady of the Ling family?"

The door was slightly closed, taking away the last ray of light.

In the dark, Wen Xueqing lay alone on the bed, opening her eyes until dawn.

"Little lady, it's time to get up."

The next morning, the maid came to wake Wen Xueqing up, and was startled by her bloodshot eye sockets.

"Little lady, what's the matter with you, your face is not good-looking, is there something wrong..."

After the beating last time, the servants hurried to find the doctor.

Wen Xueqing couldn't help raising a hand to stop her: "No need, I just didn't sleep well."

She thought about Wen Goro's words over and over for a long time.

He was right, Ling Rou didn't even have the ability to make decisions by herself, even if she wanted to, she would end up with two wounds.

What Wen Xueqing is most thankful for now is that she hasn't made it clear yet.

Before, I was very excited and wanted to do something, but now Wen Wulang poured cold water down, and he calmed down.

After thinking it over clearly, Wen Xueqing directly rejected Ling Rou's many invitations.As for the matter of returning to Linzhou, if Ling Rou can handle it well, it doesn't matter to take her along.

Wen Xueqing made a plan and decided to let Princess Lekang go first, and she delayed to wait for Lingrou.

——If Lingrou really couldn't get away, she would give up.

When he learned that Princess Lekang was determined to bring Wen Xueqing back to Linzhou, the emperor tried his best to persuade her.

This time, grandson Liu Xiancong was brought along.

However, Princess Lekang has been completely disappointed with Luoyang. This ancient city has experienced too much, like an old man on the verge of death, slow in movement and full of dark illnesses. Compared with Luoyang, Linzhou is more vibrant.

"Could it be that Amei wants to marry the young lady of the Wen family to the prince of Wei?" The emperor's face turned ashen after being hollowed out by the play.

After the armistice, although Wei Su was a little slow in implementing the emperor's orders, he still followed the requirements.Zhao Wang even came to Luoyang obediently and has not left yet.As far as the inner court is concerned, there are a group of eunuchs around him who obey him. Since the eclipse of the moon, the courtiers have been deposed by the emperor and promoted again. It is time to see his face.

Princess Lekang's insistence displeased the emperor.

"How is this possible?" Princess Lekang said solemnly, "My little lady, I want to stay by my side and accompany me, and I don't want her to marry far away."

This reason can also reject the emperor.

Liu Xiancong was anxious, but the emperor still cared about the old relationship between his brother and sister. Before getting the consent of Princess Lekang, the emperor would not pass her to marry Wen Xueqing.

Liu Xiancong wished he could kneel down on the spot, begging Princess Lekang for permission.

But here is no place for him to speak.

Princess Lekang obviously didn't want to see him.

Taking a closer look at the emperor's expression, he found that he was even worse than before. Princess Lekang tried to persuade him with concern, but was interrupted by the emperor impatiently.

Princess Lekang had no choice but to go back to the old saying: "Brother Huang, I must keep the little lady by my side. After raising her for so many years, I really don't want her to marry far away and have no relatives. If it is not necessary in the future, I will not marry you." Step into Luoyang again."

"My sister..." the emperor murmured, "It's just a little lady, why should you?"

Princess Lekang: "I was raised as my own daughter, and what's more, this is the only little girl in the Wen family, not an ordinary person."

Regarding Princess Lekang's words, the emperor was noncommittal, but said that he should think about it carefully, and told Princess Lekang not to leave in a hurry.

However, before the emperor could figure it out, Prince Wei's son, who had been on the road, entered Beijing.

Wei Su came to Beijing with bad news.

In the spring of this year, there is not a drop of water on the northern grasslands, the land is dry and cracked, and nothing can be planted.

Ordinary Xiongnu people were so hungry that they spontaneously formed a team to break through the defense line and enter the border town to loot.

The Xiongnu general seized the opportunity and led a large army to attack the city behind the people.

It just so happened that Wei Su was leaving Weidi on his way, received an urgent letter halfway, and rushed back to deploy troops and platoon generals.

This time and again, it was delayed for many days.

However, there was still a negligence, most of the Xiongnu army was blocked by them, and a small group of elite soldiers broke up and sneaked into the Central Plains quietly.

For this news, the emperor dismissed it.It's just a small team, so what's there to be afraid of?

Wei Su's face was ugly: "Your Majesty, the Huns are ambitious, and the dynasty is in a precarious time. If the Huns deliberately provoke and instigate, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"Your Majesty's words are wrong." Before the Son of Heaven could speak, Liu Xiancong went out first, "If you ask who the Huns fear most, it must be the King of Wei. With the King of Wei around, how dare the Huns act recklessly? "

Wei Su ran to the imperial court and said that the Huns were wolfish and ambitious, which was ridiculous.Could it be that Wei Su is loyal?

Liu Xiancong has always held a grudge against Wei Su. This little cousin is about the same age as him, no matter his situation or status, he is inferior to him, but he lives more freely than himself.

The sudden launch of the Xiongnu was something no one expected.The generals of the Xiongnu took advantage of the unarmed people to take the lead, and when the generals of Wei land were caught in the entanglement of benevolence and loyalty, they broke through the city in one fell swoop.

Compared with the soldiers of the Huns, there is still a temptation to eat and clothe warmly. The soldiers of Weidi know that the court has cut off the supply to Weidi. Now Weidi can't dig a single meter out of the ground, and all the soldiers are in despair. Among them, we can only pin our hopes on Wei Su who entered Beijing.

"The grandson said it easily," Wei Su did not even look at Liu Xiancong, and bowed to the emperor on the throne, "This time the war was caught off guard, and the autumn harvest in Wei's land is not enough, and now the spring plowing is not possible. Please also order the allocation of funds to transport grain as soon as possible. Sent to the front."

In successive wars, all the people in Wei joined the army, and every family had swords and bows, just for the Xiongnu who might invade at any time.

"No! Your Majesty can't," Liu Xiancong said, "It's just the beginning of spring, and the storage is full of grain, so you can't send it out at will!"

"Growing food?"

Wei Su frowned, the taxes on the Central Plains have reached the point where the people even pay for growing grain?

Lowering his eyelashes, Wei Su looked around at all the courtiers in the hall, but none of them responded.Get used to it, and that's what's scary about doing it.

It seemed that this time he was going to lose everything.

Wei Su sighed softly in his heart.

The war is stalemate, so we can't stay here for long, since we can't get money and food, Wei Su plans to go back immediately.

The war in Weidi is inseparable from people, especially...

Now the burden is all on him, he has no other choice, if he does not advance, he will retreat.

Wei Su didn't stay in Luoyang for long, and went back after showing up in Luoyang. He still didn't report, and he still borrowed Princess Lekang's car to drive out of the city.

Yes, after hearing that the Huns were invading again, Wen Wulang urged Princess Lekang to return to Linzhou first.

Wen Wulang: "The war in Weidi will not be delayed for a moment. The Huns are cunning. If my mother returns later, I am afraid that something will happen."

Princess Lekang hesitated: "Brother Huang..."

The emperor did not allow her to leave with Wen Xueqing for a long time.

Wen Wulang pressed the throbbing veins on his forehead: "Why don't mother leave first? I always have a bad feeling."

In the spring of this year, His Majesty paid more taxes in the name of military training, and at the same time required all men who reach the age of fifteen to enlist in the army.The payment of taxes is closely related to the promotion of officials. In order to collect them neatly, the officials at the bottom have all means.

Taxes have increased, and the people at the bottom have to scrape together the money no matter what.Of course, there are also some quick-witted people who leave their hometowns through the chaotic stalls, looking for new places to live.It's just——in the whole world, could it be the emperor's land, no matter where he went, he still had to pay what should be paid.

Despair and hatred gradually shrouded the dynasty, and the destruction of families and the separation of wives and children were happening every day.
