[Red Mansion] Let's listen to a general's order

The officials in front of the Taihe Gate all gathered together and waited, forming a vast area.All the civil servants who were acquainted with each other and from the same faction gathered together, whispering and discussing the feasibility of marrying Princess Mingzhu.It was too hasty last night, and I was led away by the group of passionate generals, now I have to discuss whether to marry the princess/princess and go to the Huns.

"Being in the emperor's family and enjoying the glory and wealth of the world, you should have the responsibility to sacrifice your life for the country! It is a supreme honor for a daughter to take on the important task of marriage. Otherwise, the war will lead to disaster, and my great Zhou How many good men will be buried on the battlefield, how many white-headed men will be sent to black-headed men, and how many babies will be orphaned?" A burly, imposing scribe in Yunyan civil official's patch said loudly.

"Good! Well said!"

"What Shi Fei said is true."

"That's how it should be!"

"Bah! Marry for what!? He likes to marry so much, why doesn't he marry himself out!" Niu Jizong sneered, with a look of disdain.

Today, all the generals from the Tiance Mansion should be from the fourth rank and above, who are qualified to go to the early court.

From the third rank champion general Li Lian, from the fourth rank Fenwei general Niu Jizong, from the fourth rank Xianwu general Ran Feng, from the fourth rank Xuanwu general Lin Han, of course, today's heroine is indispensable---the fourth rank Mingwei general Li Mingzhu.

The civil official who is righteous and righteous is actually the former enlightenment teacher of Lin Yiyu and Lin Daiyu——Jia Yucun.

Originally, Lin Ruhai planned to send his two daughters to Beijing to be raised by Shi Shi shortly after Jia Min's death, but Lin Yiyu forcibly delayed her for a year.During this year, the two daughters of the Lin family had to keep their filial piety, so naturally they would not attend any classes, so after Lin Ruhai gave Jia Yucun a sum of money as a gift, Jia Yucun left consciously.He used to be a scholar who studied hard for ten years in the cold window. He once passed the Jinshi examination and became a magistrate, but was dismissed because of greed and favoritism.

After getting this money, which is enough for him to live a good life for a year, Jia Yucun's heart, unwilling to be mediocre and longing for prosperity, became active again.He packed up his bags and went to Beijing, and got in touch with Jia Zheng after wandering around.

Jia Zheng saw that he was talented and upright, and after careful questioning, he found that everyone was of the same ancestry, so he used his influence among the four kings and eight princes to work hard for Jia Yucun to find the fourth-rank Shuntian government. Son.You must know that Jia Zheng is not the same as before. It is not he who inherits the title, but his elder brother;He also has a bad relationship with his two brothers. Everyone who comes and goes with him knows that he is Shi Shi's beloved son, so although Jia Zheng is not very talkative, he will help him out of Shi Shi's face. .

Jia Yucun's eyes brightened immediately, the thigh he wanted to hug when he came to Beijing was Li Lian!

It's a pity that Li Lian was either in the camp, in the capital, or in the mansion, so he seldom wandered around.Therefore, Jia Yucun couldn't find a door to hook up with, so he retreated to find Jia Zheng, hoping that Jia Zheng could give him some good words.Unexpectedly, he didn't know that the two brothers, Li Lian and Jia Zheng, had a cold relationship, so the idea of ​​hugging Li Lian's thigh failed.

Now is a great time!Although Jia Yucun supports Princess Mingzhu's marriage and stands on the opposite side of Li Lian's position, but according to his repeated inquiries about Li Lian's temperament and behavior, as long as he shows that he is selfless in public affairs, forgets his home in the country, and cares about the people On the side of worrying about the country, I don't worry that Li Lian will treat him differently.

Just when Jia Yucun straightened his face and cleared his throat, when he was about to deliver a high-pitched, impassioned speech, "Ahem!"

Jia Yucun glared dissatisfiedly at the "uninterested" person, but smiled all over his face the next moment.

Without him, it's all because he "temporarily" can't provoke that person.

An old man said with a solemn face: "It's a major national event! How can you allow a reckless man who knows how to wield knives and guns to talk nonsense!?" His tone was righteous and awe-inspiring.

But it was Zhang Tianzheng, the servant of the Ministry of officials.

Niu Jizong glanced at him from the corner of his eye, picked his nose, and decided to endure him.

no solution anymore!Who told those cowboy brothers in my family to be chivalrous and righteous a few days ago, when they saw a dude robbing a civilian girl on the road, they beat up the dude who was said to be the only heir of the nine generations.For this, Niu Jizong naturally applauded.But I heard that the 88-year-old lady in the family was crying and screaming, very desolate.

As a big brother, he naturally wants to clean up the "good things" done by his younger brothers.In the past few days, he has been impeached by Zhang Tianzheng every day, saying that his behavior is frivolous, his words and deeds are shameless, and he slaughtered cattle without permission. Losing money) was mentioned, which made Niu Jizong very upset.

However, in Zhang Tianzheng's eyes, this action showed Niu Jizong's disdain for him, which made Zhang Tianzheng's already boiling anger even more uncontrollable.

He walked up to Niu Jizong with big strides, not caring that he was only at the height of Niu Jizong's ribs, raised his head and opened his mouth, and reprimanded him: "Zizi is rude! He has no respect for his elders, he is rude when he is born, he has no rules and no rules, and he is a grown-up." What kind of discipline!? His body is not upright, and his family is not strict, how dare he discuss national affairs with the court officials!?" Niu Jizong's saliva was about to be sprayed on Niu Jizong's face.

Li Mingzhu immediately grasped his mistake and said: "Are Zhang Shilang dissatisfied with the emperor by saying this?" It turned out that he was already very upset when he heard those civil servants whispering about his marriage. (Jia Yucun) also dared to claim that she "deserved" to go to the Xiongnu to get married. It happened that Zhang Tianzheng bumped into him himself, just for her to vent a little.

"The princess is careful! When will this old man be dissatisfied with the emperor!?"

Mingzhu retorted: "Zhang Shilang said just now that General Fenwei is not upright, and he is not qualified to go to court to discuss state affairs. However, the official position of General Fenwei was personally appointed by the emperor, and the emperor allowed him to go to court to discuss state affairs! You say General Fenwei Not qualified, isn’t it dissatisfied with the emperor’s decision?”

Zhang Tianzheng lowered his face, stroking his beard, and said in a deep voice: "I know what the old man said. The emperor is wise, so naturally he won't listen to one side. It's just like the saying goes: the princess is the one who will have a marriage. Please behave yourself, don't embarrass the emperor and the emperor!" He bit Li Mingzhu and Li Mingzhu back quietly, implying that their relationship was ambiguous and unclear.

This is too much!

Li Lian didn't bother to pay attention to the confrontation between them at first, and was writing a draft in his belly, how to persuade the emperor later, but when he heard this, he had no choice but to come forward.

He walked up to Zhang Tianzheng step by step, looked down at him, and said in a calm but majestic way: "Zhang Shilang, you are talking too much."

Seeing Li Lian speak, the officials stopped talking unconsciously and looked at their side.

Some civil servants who are good friends with Zhang Tianzheng kept winking and even tried to pull him away.

"Hmph!" Zhang Tianzheng had a mighty and unyielding face, his eyes were wide open.

"Tell me, if I beat you up here, what do you think will happen?" Li Lian simply asked a question.

"You!" Zhang Tianzheng blew his beard and stared angrily.

Li Lian said in embarrassment: "Don't worry, old man, I'm not such a person. But..." He glanced at Niu Jizong who was behind him.

Niu Jizong understood, with a smirk on his face, clasped his fists with his hands and made a bone caracal sound, and looked at Zhang Tianzheng with fixed eyes, the meaning was obvious: the commander will not beat you, I will.

Only then did Zhang Tianzheng remember that the one in front of him was a well-known stick in the capital, an existence that even a bachelor would dare to chop when it became so hot!What's more, he is also the emperor's brother-in-law, and he has a unique gold medal for avoiding death!

If this guy really beats himself up here...

Let's not say that I can't bear it with my old bones, but just looking at the way that the emperor turned a blind eye to Kang Hetai when he threw an ax that day, he knew that he was really beaten, and it was probably for nothing.

Even if the emperor is willing to stand up for his old bones and dismiss Niu Jizong from his post.However, there are Li Lian, the Supreme Emperor and the Empress behind Niu Jizong!

Within a month, the official will be reinstated naturally!

Zhang Tianzheng found out sadly that it seemed that because of Niu Jizong's retreat in the past few days, he had a wrong feeling that Niu Jizong was nothing more than that, and he became more and more desperate.But remembering that the son of the nine-generation single heir at home was lying on the bed with a broken leg, and the doctor said that he might be unwell in the future, so he decided to continue to work and die!

The onlookers, civil and military officials, once again recognized Niu Jizong's unstingy status as the devil king.

It's better to stay away from this kind of unscrupulous devil king in the future!If you can't afford it, you can always hide it!

At this time, there was a melodious bell in the palace, and many officials gathered in front of the palace gate suddenly looked solemn, straightened their robes, stood up in order, and walked forward slowly.

"Everyone is in peace."

After the emperor said a few words, he went to the main topic: "Since I ascended the throne, I have always accepted good advice from all directions. Today, Hu Hanxie, the great Shanyu of the Huns, begged me to marry the princess of Mingzhu, and he was willing to use Zhuoxie Mountain Southwest One land, tens of thousands of horses, one hundred thousand cows, one hundred thousand sheep, and thirty boxes of gold, silver and jewels as dowry gifts, what do you think?"

"Returning to the emperor, the two countries will make peace and communicate with each other without fighting. This is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people! The old minister agrees!" Zhang Tianzheng, who had just been humiliated by Li Lian and Niu Jizong outside the hall, took the lead and said without hesitation. .

Jia Yucun took a look, and Zhang Tianzheng took another step forward. He hurriedly followed, and said eloquently: "Zhang Shilang is right. After the marriage, the relationship between the two countries will become closer. I, Zhou Erlang, don't need to die in battle. In addition, The land southwest of Zhuoxie Mountain is of great value, and its geographical location is easy... This is a good thing for win-win! The minister also agrees!" According to his speculation of the emperor's mind over the years, he believes that the emperor must have intended to make this plan.

To put it bluntly, he is political speculation.

"I also think it's advisable to make peace!"

"The minister agrees with the marriage!"

A group of traditional civil servants who believe that peace is the most important echoed.

"No! The Huns are wolves, tigers and leopards! Hu Hanxie has only been in power for ten years, but in ten years he has integrated all the tribes of the Huns and unified the grasslands. The Turks, Xianbei, and Rouran have already followed him as the leader! To develop commerce and trade...you can see how big your ambition is!" University scholar Gao Gong had the most upright temper, and immediately jumped out to object.

"That's right! It's not advisable for the princess to get married."

"The Xiongnu are all ambitious wolves, they are vicious wolves who can't get enough to eat! Please learn from me, Your Majesty!"

The civil servants of Gao Gong's faction spoke one after another.

Niu Jizong seemed to join in the fun, and said in a stern voice: "If you don't accept it, you will be beaten! It's a bit of a grind! Who will marry the princess to those barbarian barbarians?"

The emperor's eyes fell on Kang Hetai's faction who hadn't expressed his intention yet.

"Back to the emperor, it's not impossible for Princess Mingzhu to marry the Hun Shanyu, but I think it's better to ask the princess's own opinion on this matter!" Kang Hetai thought about it and decided to continue using him. Consistent policy ─ ─ Think twice before you act, see the situation before you speak.

Now that she finally mentioned herself, Li Mingzhu stepped forward directly: "Your Majesty, for the sake of Da Zhou, don't say that you are only going to marry the last general! Even if it is the last general's life, why not!?"

Other civil servants who really thought that Li Mingzhu decided to sacrifice their ego and went to get married praised: "The princess really understands the truth, she is worthy of being a golden branch and a jade leaf!"

"The princess's move is comparable to Wang Zhaojun who voluntarily went out of the fortress!"

Regarding this, Li Lian and the others looked calm and calm.

Gao Gong, Kang Hetai, Zhang Tianzheng, Jia Yucun and other wise people looked at Li Mingzhu vigilantly, as if there was something in the words!

Sure enough, after Li Mingzhu calmly accepted the praise of all the civil servants, he said again: "However, the last general is not only the Mingzhu Princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also the fourth-rank Mingwei General of the Great Zhou Dynasty! About marrying the general out?"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.

The civil servants were led astray by Hu Hanxie's proposal to marry Princess Mingzhu, and they only focused on Princess Mingzhu, but they never considered that if they really married out, they would marry General Mingwei!

From ancient times to the present, only the daughters of the royal family or the daughters of ministers and civilians were given the title of princess and married out. Is there any precedent for a general of a country to be married out?Marry/marry the general out?Pooh!This is simply absurd!What is the extent of the decline and weakness of the national power that even the generals who defend the country will be "sent" out!

Even if it is too late and impossible to deprive Li Mingzhu of General Mingwei's military position now!Others will only say that they are cowardly, and even the general can marry them full-time at will.If it gets out, the reputation of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be ruined.

Many civil servants who cherish feathers have retorted, "Speaking of which, the princess cannot marry!"

"Why don't we go with another princess! The princess is the daughter of gold, and her status is even more precious. I believe Hu Hanxieda Shanyu will be satisfied!"

"That's right! The Supreme Emperor has three princesses. If the Huns are dissatisfied, the emperor also has Princess Chang'an, the Second Princess, and Princess An." It was as if the royal princess was picking pork at the market.

It's hard to say that the emperor heard it, and felt very uncomfortable. Even Li Lian also frowned, with a serious expression on his face.

"Champion Hou, do you have any opinion on this matter?" the emperor asked.

Is it a marriage?Or rise up?

"If you go back to the emperor, I dare you to ask the emperor to forgive me for saying that I am not guilty." Li Lian walked to the center of the hall.

"Forgive you for your innocence, but I hope that you will have endless words."

"I personally think that marriage is not advisable!" At the beginning, I first expressed my attitude.

Li Lian resolutely said: "A country that relies on women to pray for peace, what integrity is there?" This sentence made all the civil servants who were in favor of the marriage just now as spineless crooks.

"Champion, you!" Many civil servants blushed, wanting to argue with Li Lian.

The emperor scolded: "Silence!"

Then, he turned his head and looked back at Li Lian: "Ai Qing continues."

"Guanzi said: "Rongdi, jackals, and wolves are not to be hated; banquets are safe and poisonous, and poisonous ones are not to be cherished. ""

Guan Zi said: Rong Di is like a jackal, greedy and not satisfied; if you are greedy for a moment of happiness, you are drinking poison to quench your thirst. You can't even think about it like that!

The years Li Lian studied under Wang Yi were not in vain.

"I have a word I want to say to the emperor! But, I don't know whether I should say it or not."

The emperor's expression could not help but become solemn.Li Lian had always acted like he was not afraid of the sky and the earth, and it was rare to see him look forward and backward like this, so what he said next must be extraordinary.

"I'm all ears." The emperor's expression became more sincere than before, and even his sitting posture became extremely upright.

"In the history of the Han family, Ji Zhuo was a marriage.

The country depends on the Lord, and the safety depends on the woman.

How can the jade appearance be imitated by Hu Chen.

The thousand-year-old bone underground, who will be the assistant minister. "

Li Lian's eyes were extremely firm and sharp, and he said: "The well-being of the country, the country, and the people depend on the diligent governance of You Daoming Lord. How can you entrust the safety of the country on women!?"

"How can a dignified man push a woman out to pray for peace from foreigners!? What kind of face do we men have to survive in this world? Besides, since ancient times, how have marriages been exchanged for real peace?"

"I heard that the Ming Dynasty has a national policy - no marriage, no compensation, no cession of land, no tribute, the emperor guards the gate, and the king dies!" The words are full of pride and ambition.

"When the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by the Jurchen, the people and the city were together, "Keep your head but not your hair, keep your hair but not your head", the city was destroyed and people died, and 10 people died for justice in [-] days! "

Li Lian knelt down on both knees, and performed the most solemn bowing ceremony among the nine prayers, "As long as your majesty gives the order, everyone in Tiance's mansion is willing to shoot guns immediately, guard our rivers and mountains, fight bloody battles, and wrap corpses in horse leather! "

"The ministers are willing to die for the emperor!!!" All the generals behind Li Lian knelt down and shouted in unison.

"The ministers are willing to die for the emperor!!!" Gao Gong and other civil officials who refused to marry all knelt down and echoed loudly.

There was an indescribable and unknown aura in the voice, an aura of sacrificing one's life to go to the country's calamity, and seeing death as a sudden return.
