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

Emperor Wen of Zhou looked at the place where the sound was made displeased, and threw the cup when he was so happy, didn't he just mean to make things difficult for him!

When he found out that it was Jia Lian, his expression softened immediately.

"Yo! It's blooming on the ground, rich and glorious. Look at our general Zhao Lie, he's so happy!" Dai Quan hid Jia Lian's gaffe in a funny way.

"Hehe! Lian'er should marry a wife at this age, and the marriage has already been settled by ordinary people." Hearing what Dai Quan said, Emperor Wen of Zhou also took Jia Lian's gaffe as a big deal.

"Time flies so fast. Back then, Lian'er and Mingzhu were still a small group. Now they are going to get married, and I am getting old." Emperor Zhou Wen recalled.

Dai Quan flatteringly said: "The emperor is in good health and spirited. If the servants had not served the emperor for decades, they would have thought that the emperor was only in his 20s! Standing together with the princes, the emperor is more majestic. Looks like brothers."

"Father is in the prime of his life, how has he ever looked old?" The prince took the lead and said with a smile.

"That's right! Father is in his prime!" Li Tianhuang hurriedly flattered him.Damn!I am too straightforward!It was half a beat behind the prince.

Li Tianyan's attitude is indescribably respectful and filial, "Father's ambition is still there, and his ambition is a thousand miles away." After the year is over, he is one year older. Emperor Wen of Zhou is also in his fifties, and he is already at the age of knowing his destiny. .

Li Tianjie raised the cup in his hand and said: "Father is at the peak of Spring and Autumn, and he will lead me to defeat the Turks, Yi Xianbei, Ping Rouran, destroy the Xiongnu, and make the world bow their heads and become ministers!"

"Okay! Well said!" Zhou Wendi Long Yan was very happy, and drank three glasses of wine in a row.

For a while, the compliments of the princes to Emperor Wen of Zhou rose one after another.

"Little brother! You are going to marry the princess as a son-in-law!!" Jia She was very excited. Even if he had no political sense, he knew that if he married the princess of Mingzhu, he would be on the ship of the eldest prince, but this princess of Mingzhu was different from other counties. My lord, I am very much loved by the emperor, even in front of the new emperor in the future, I will be a princess with great face.

"Shut up!" Jia Lian growled.

The next moment, he got up, walked to the center of the hall, and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, this minister is not as good as a weak crown. Thanks to the Emperor's great kindness, he was granted the position of Marquis of the Army. The emperor did not despise the minister because of his age. Instead, he was promoted from the fifth rank to General Zhao Lie. The importance of long grace is rare in ancient times. I have nothing to repay, but to serve Da Zhou with all my enthusiasm, and I can't repay His Majesty's kindness!" The words came from the heart, with a faint trembling voice.

Emperor Zhou Wen turned his head and said nothing. Only Dai Quan who was standing behind him saw the slightly wet corners of Emperor Zhou Wen's eyes.

Jia Lian paused, and then said: "Now that the Xiongnu have not been subdued, Xianbei and Turks are about to make a move, Rouran is watching, waiting to rise. What's more, the Japanese pirates in the south have frequently come ashore to rob and harass the people along the coast recently!"

"The world is not at peace, why should we do it at home!"

"I would like to spend my whole life leading the army to wipe out the thieves, and to return the world to the world!"

Before Zhou Wendi could react, the military generals and nobles who watched the excitement were already clapping and applauding.

"Good! Well said!"

"It's worthy of being taught by the general! How bold!"

"You son of a general! General Zhao Lie Xiao Qizu!"

Li Tianhuang's face changed, he didn't care how bold these words were, he only knew that this young boy dared to reject him!Reject his pearl! !

Although he was angry, he couldn't speak well, so he had to signal Jingtai to speak.

"Little General Jia has ambition, and this old man admires him." It was Jingtai's proposal to let Emperor Wen of Zhou decree to bestow a marriage. It aimed to win over Jia Lian, Wang Yi, Niu's family, Duke Rongning's mansion, and even the four major families. The meat in hand slipped away.

At Jingtai's age, it's okay to call Jia Lian "Little General Jia." He said slowly, "It's just that the sage said: Cultivate one's body, regulate one's family, govern one's country, and pacify the world. If General Xiao Jia doesn't regulate one's family, how can one govern the country and the world?" Besides, the battlefield is dangerous, even... the general will inevitably die before the battle, and end up shrouded in horse leather. General Xiao Jia has no children, and if something happens, he is afraid that his incense will be cut off." If you don't have a family, how can you start a career?

Jia Lian said coldly: "If you can't succeed in your career, how can you start a family!"

"Dinggong asked: The king envoys the ministers, and the ministers serve the emperor. Confucius said to him: The emperor's envoys treat the emperor with courtesy, and the ministers serve the emperor with loyalty. Already!" Kneeling on the cold hall, his back stretched straight, "I hope the emperor will do it!"

"You child..." Zhou Wendi sighed, "Could it be that if the world is not peaceful, you will not get married for a day?"

Jia Lian followed the trend: "Why not!? The minister is willing to swear an oath for my great Zhou, and wrap my body in horse leather to repay the king's kindness. Even though I die, I have no regrets!!!"

Because of the matter of becoming king just now, the prince was actually not in a good mood, and drank a few more glasses for a while.Now that he was drunk, he asked maliciously: "Hehe! General Zhao Lie must have found a woman he likes as an excuse? If it's true, let's say it bluntly. A concubine's room." Mingzhu is the boss's most beloved daughter, and if she is not doing well, she just makes trouble for the boss.

"The prince is worrying too much. I don't have a girl I like." Jia Lian pursed his lips.

Xu Shi was drunk, and he became presumptuous, so the prince pushed forward and asked: "Since you don't like women, you have that Long Yangzhi..."

"Enough! The prince is drunk!! Send the prince back to the palace to rest now!!!" Emperor Zhou Wen ordered, the prince really didn't know how to advance or retreat!

With the appearance of the prince, Emperor Wen of Zhou was helpless, unable to say anything he wanted to say.

"I don't even know how to persuade you. Sir, you are his master, so you can persuade him! You can't really let him never get married for the rest of his life!" Wang Yi had to come forward.

Emperor Zhou Wen was successfully distracted by Jia Lian. Originally, he ordered Jia Lian to marry Princess Mingzhu, but now it has become a question of whether Jia Lian will marry a wife in the future.

"Master." Jia Lian's eyes flashed unwaveringly.

The three armies can take away their commanders, but the generals cannot take away their ambitions.

Wang Yi looked at Jia Lian with a complicated expression, and after a long time, he only said one sentence.

"It's a difficult road."

Emperor Wen of Zhou thought he was saying that it would be difficult for Jia Lian to calm down the world in his lifetime, but Jia Lian knew that Master "knew".

"The disciple is as sweet as a sugarcane."

Whether it's a lifelong struggle in the sand, or being with Xiaozhi regardless of the worldly vision, it's not just willing to be so simple, it's willing and even enjoyable.

Wang Yi let out a long sigh.

"Your Majesty, this disciple Yi's six relatives are not well-known, since he doesn't want to, don't force him, let everything go according to fate!"

Emperor Wen of Zhou was speechless, sir!I want you to persuade him, not for you to persuade me for him!

However, after what Wang Yi said, Emperor Wen of Zhou remembered what Wang Yi told him back then that Pojunxing Liu had poor relatives and was lonely all his life.

The lord has no predestined relationship with his parents, the parents are at odds, and there are often cold wars at home;

"That's all! Lian'er and Mingzhu are still young, let's see in a few years!" Although Emperor Zhou Wen said this, he had already decided in his heart that he would try his best to match the two young children. Not even a son who fell into a basin.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Jia Lian retreated to his seat and glanced casually at the beautiful factory supervisor not far away.

Ever since seeing him, Jia Lian's gaze could hardly leave him for a moment. Although he restrained himself and didn't dare to look at him in public, he could clearly see every move of his sweetheart.Seeing that the man finally had some color on his face, Jia Lian finally calmed down, and decided to make it clear to him after the banquet.

However, this scene that no one noticed was captured by Zhou Wendi.

The prince's words just now are vivid in my ears: "Since you don't like women, you have that Long Yangzhi..."

Emperor Wen of Zhou recalled the close interaction between Jia Lian and Feng Zizhi, the servant, over the years, and felt that they seemed to be acting too intimately.

Immediately, Emperor Wen of Zhou saw Feng Zizhi's expression was wrong.

He didn't like this servant who was too feminine and gorgeous at first, but he just liked him, and Dai Quan felt that he was capable of doing things, and this servant was obedient, and always kept a low eyebrow and kept his duty in front of him. That's why he didn't send the waiter far away.

Unexpectedly, this humble servant is so bold!How dare he lead his Lian'er astray! !Dai Quan shouldn't have taken him to the Hall of Mental Cultivation for the prince's sake! ! !He shouldn't have taken him to the Imperial Study Room and brought him to the East Factory in the first place! ! ! !

Emperor Zhou Wen's palace was very deep, the more angry he was, the calmer his face became, even Dai Quan, who had been facing him day and night for decades, couldn't see anything wrong with him.

Under Jia Lian's urgency, the dinner finally came to an end. He hastily explained to Jia She that he would return home later, and then went straight out of the main hall to the small side hall in the northwest corner.

There was nothing wrong along the way, but a person blocking the way appeared on a remote path behind a corner.

"Stand!"

There was a scolding sound.

A long whip studded with precious stones swept towards Jia Lian's back like a spirit snake.

Although he was unprepared, Jia Lian easily avoided the whip as if he had eyes behind his back.

He was in a hurry to find his sweetheart to confess his love, but unexpectedly a tiger blocking the way appeared on the way!

Jia Lian stared back in annoyance, wanting to see who was so short-sighted.

Yo!Not just a tiger in the way, but a tigress in the way.

"You are Jia Lian!?" Before Jia Lian could reprimand, a beautiful girl in red asked preemptively.

Jia Lian thought that this is the palace, and he didn't know which princess or princess this is, so he frowned and replied: "It's my servant."

"Mr. Rong's youngest son, General Zhao Lie of the fifth rank, Jia Lian?" the beautiful girl asked again.

Jia Lian didn't like this aggressive attitude, and said coldly: "This general is Jia Lian, what's the matter with you?"

The beautiful girl's voice was crisp and clear, and each word was passed to Jia Lian's ears, which was very pleasant, but the content of the words made Jia Lian very embarrassed and no longer annoyed.

"I am the daughter of King Jin, the princess of the Pearl Princess whom you refused to marry me just now."

Just now, Jia Lian was all focused on how to refuse the marriage offer. In fact, he didn't remember at all who Zhou Wendi was going to give him a marriage offer. He only vaguely remembered that it was the daughter of King Jin.Now that she said this, he remembered that the title of the princess who bestowed the marriage seemed to be Pearl.

"I don't know what is the important thing that the princess is blocking me?" Jia Lian's tone softened, the morals of the world are harsh on women, no matter what he just refused the marriage in front of all the officials, he finally hurt the princess.

"You!" Princess Mingzhu was stunned.

He wanted to get angry, but when he saw Jia Lian's handsome and heroic appearance, and remembered the stories about Jia Lian's killing enemies on the battlefield and making troubles in Gongsun's mansion for his brother, his tone softened again: "Why do you Refused to marry? How do you want me to meet people in the future?" It seemed to be complaining, but also acting like a baby.

A girl from an ordinary family is divorced, not only her boudoir's reputation is damaged, but other families will have a lot of discussions, and it will be very difficult to find her husband's family in the future.

Jia Lian pursed her lips, "My Majesty Mu is very kind and dedicated to serve the country, and has no intention of getting married. Today, His Royal Highness Prince Jin asked for marriage, but I don't know about it. The Emperor and Prince Jin have always loved the Princess, and the Princess doesn't have to be afraid of damage to her reputation. , in the future, there will definitely be a husband and son-in-law who is a thousand times better than this one." The implication is that your father has one wish, and if you have any dissatisfaction, you can find him and don't bother me.

This nerd!

Mingzhu bit her lower lip lightly, her face was flushed with a slight tinge of wine, and her complexion became even more beautiful.

King Jin has a bold and unruly personality, and is good at martial arts.Among all the sons and daughters, Princess Mingzhu resembles him the most.As the most beloved granddaughter of Emperor Wen of Zhou, she is the first among the grandchildren to be crowned Princess Mingzhu, but she is not as unruly and self-willed as the other cousins. She is not only gentle, but also sensible. He is open-minded and generous in his actions, so he is the most loved by King Jin.

Princess Mingzhu practiced martial arts since she was a child, and learned how to whip well.She is very beautiful, but also has a three-point heroic spirit. At the same time, she is graceful and luxurious, with a dignified look, just like a nine-day goddess.

Ever since she overheard from outside the study that day that her father intends to betroth herself to Rong Guogong's third son, Mingzhu sent someone to secretly collect Jia Lian's information.

Joined the army at fourteen, fought for the first time, and shot back Hu Hanxie, the right sage king of the Huns;

In the next battle, he led his troops to the north to attack Gao Aduo, the king of Zuogu Li, and beheaded [-] Xiongnu cavalry;

Afterwards, he beheaded the Xiongnu and chased the king Dong Muhe's [-] fine horsemen from the right day, and captured Dong Muhe alive;

After that, he led his exhausted troops to battle Yanmen day and night, beheaded more than [-] enemies, and defeated the Huhanxie tribe.

If this can only show that he is a good fighter, but what happens next will prove that Jia Lian is a good gentleman who values ​​love and righteousness.

In front of Niu Guogong's mourning hall, he personally avenged Niu Guogong by beheading Dong Muhe, the king of the Xiongnu.

The elder brother was killed without knowing his life or death. Regardless of his tired body and the coercion and lure of the crown prince and the tenth prince, he personally beat the younger brother of the crown prince's side concubine and the cousin of the tenth prince.

Princess Mingzhu's people also found out that although Jia Lian was at odds with his parents, second brother and younger sister, but the younger sister got married, he sent all the things suitable for makeup that Emperor Wen of Zhou bestowed to his younger sister.According to the estimates of the servants, the value is no less than 20 taels.

Moreover, Jia Lian was very self-conscious, usually at his age there would always be one or two housekeepers, but he didn't even have a waitress in his yard, the only woman was an old nanny who took care of him since he was a child.

Such a courageous, scheming, affectionate and good gentleman lit up the lanterns and searched all over the capital, but he couldn't find one. When I saw Jia Lian today, he looked very handsome. All these things added up, how could Princess Mingzhu not fall in love with her? Secret promise!A heart is quietly tied to Jia Lian's body.

After hesitating again and again, Mingzhu finally plucked up the courage to ask: "You...don't like me?" This was really embarrassing to the reserved Princess Mingzhu, because all the threads of love were tied to Jia Lian, so she didn't care. Ask this sentence from the rules and women's commandments you have learned in the past.

But with just one sentence, Mingzhu's face was flushed with embarrassment.

In terms of status, her father is King Jin, and she is Emperor Zhou Wen's favorite Pearl Princess;

In terms of appearance, she is the most beautiful woman in Beijing, a family with a daughter, and a hundred families seek;

In terms of character, she is tolerant, understanding, intelligent and calm;

In terms of martial arts, she studied under the masters of the Ouchi, and learned the superb whip technique, so it will be no problem for her husband and wife to follow suit in the future.

This princess, who is in her cardamom years, is in love and wants to ask an answer.

"The princess is very good, but I can't climb high. I have a hard life, and I don't have a wife." Jia Lian only said that he had restrained his wife. He thought that this would make Mingzhu retreat.

However, Mingzhu blurted out: "I'm not afraid!"

Jia Lian pursed her lips and looked at the sky, the palace gate was about to be unlocked.

"Fate can't be forced. The ancients said it well: 'Everyone has a destiny, don't envy anyone'. The princess has both good looks and good looks, and he can't have another wife before the end of the day. I will leave first." After finishing speaking, Jia Lian stepped on the dragon step away.

Mingzhu was left standing quietly on the spot alone.

"Princess! You're leaving too fast! Didn't you say you were going to the Imperial Garden? Why are you here? Concubine Hui is very worried about you." Qingliu, the maid next to Mingzhu, said puzzled.

Concubine Hui, who was at the other side of the hall, had already been reported to Concubine Hui of Jia Lian's refusal, and Concubine Hui, the biological mother of the Ninth Prince who was most at odds with Concubine Hui, naturally would not miss this opportunity to be sarcastic after hearing the news.The two of them had the same pronunciation because of their titles, so they were in constant estrangement, and it was common for them to have small stumbling blocks with each other.Later, the hatred accumulated and deepened, and the princes under the knees of the two sides were also fighting for the reserve position, and it was even more tit-for-tat and incompatible, as if there was you without me.

Concubine Hui is Mingzhu's real grandmother, fearing that her youngest daughter's family would be ashamed and angry, so she let her leave the stage first.That's why the embarrassing Pearl princess "questioned" Jia Lian.

Mingzhu seemed to turn a deaf ear to Qingliu's words, her wonderful eyes just stared at Jia Lian's leaving direction.

No matter how talented he is from a family, or how noble he is, when he first met her, he would always look at her fascinated. A few glances.

Unexpectedly... This idiot actually didn't even look at her...

Mingzhu smiled sweetly, infinitely soft.
