812 The seventieth dragon scale (six)
The Seventy Dragon Scale (Sixth)
There is also Linglong who came to Beijing with the Barbarian King and his group.
She spent five years educating the barbarians, and now the border no longer has to suffer from war. This is all her credit. It is true that when Duke Cheng returned to Beijing, he persuaded the emperor to agree to Linglong stay in the border to inherit his mantle. The emperor also opposed the public and gave Linglong the title of General Yunhui. Although he had a big fuss in the court because of Linglong's identity as a woman, Duke Cheng was really a mess.
If someone has gone to the battlefield, even if he only has one arm left, he can beat them, such weak civil servants, into pig's heads!
But the emperor and the empress and the prince were all looking at Duke Cheng. What else can others say? Since the opposition is invalid, let him go! They want to see what achievements can a little girl film, a little girl film that is only fourteen years old.
Linglong defeated the barbarians, captured the barbarian prince alive, captured the barbarian king alive, and opened a commercial market. The people of the border lived and worked in peace and contentment. The news reached the court. Duke Cheng was proud and the officials were speechless.
Now, the Barbarian King is willing to be the emperor. From the previous dynasty to the present, the people have suffered from the barbarians for hundreds of years. Which general can do this? I heard that the barbarians would tremble when they hear Linglong's name, and they were completely afraid of being beaten. Unlike Duke Cheng, the princes in the border army lived like fish under Duke Cheng, and it was very painful to the hands of Linglong. The princes became increasingly afraid of the prince, especially the eldest prince, who hated the prince to the core.
His uncle Guan Chi was broken into Linglong's hands. In recent years, the prince grew up and showed the potential of a wise ruler. He was often praised by the emperor. How could the eldest prince not be jealous?
Linglong returned to Beijing, the happiest person was Duke Cheng, the Empress and the Crown Prince.
Especially the Empress, who came to the palace gate to pick her up in person. When she saw Linglong, two lines of tears flowed down, hugging the powerful heroic girl in her arms. She wanted to pinch her face but couldn't bear to let it go. She had a lot of complaints, but at this moment she could only worry: "...I'm so dusty, are you tired? Are you hungry? My aunt has prepared food for you, go and take a shower, change clothes to eat."
The prince looked around with his eyes. He was now fifteen years old, and was born with a jade orchid and gentle jade. He had both the kindness of a benevolent king and the rigorous ruling king. It was obvious that he had not finished his homework in the past five years and had been studying hard.
As for Duke Cheng Guo... As Linglong's biological father, he really wanted to compete with the Queen, but he didn't dare. There were only three women in the world who could make him afraid, one was his wife, one was his daughter-in-law, and the other was his wife's friend, the Queen.
Linglong is nineteen years old this year. Five years of life in the border area have not made her dark and rough. Her skin is still as white as ice and snow, her figure is slender and graceful. The silver light armor on her body makes her look completely different from the noble girls in the capital, and she is full of vitality and vitality.
And that face naturally grew. When she was fourteen years old, she was a beauty with a cappella in Jinghua. Now she is even more charming. Just looking at this face, no one can imagine how majestic and frightening she was on the battlefield. The barbarians dared not even look directly at her eyes. For the barbarians, the female general's methods obviously surprised them more than her appearance.
While eating, the emperor also came over. Linglong had already changed into light armor and put on a silk skirt. She was not rude at all. Her etiquette was very perfect. The Queen didn't care about eating and kept picking up food for Linglong, urging her to eat more and eat more, and she would stay in the palace tonight.
Linglong refused and wanted to return to the Duke's Mansion. She used to live in the palace because her father was not there. Now that her father is at home, it is not convenient for her to stay in the palace.
Especially when she is nineteen years old and the prince is fifteen, there is no need to talk about it.
The Empress also understood this truth, so although she was disappointed, she didn't say much. At the dinner table, Linglong talked about the past five years, and underestimated the thrilling and danger, but the four of them here could imagine what the scene was. Especially Duke Cheng, who stayed in the capital for his daughter's wish, and his heart flew out early. He knew best how cruel the barbarian was. How could he bear to face his delicate little daughter alone?
But Linglong insisted, and he didn't object. His wife was dead, leaving him with only such a daughter. No matter what the daughter wanted to do, he would support her.
Even if it is rebellious, it doesn't matter.
After all, after a few days of travel, the Empress grabbed the emperor who was still unsatisfied and the prince who wanted to speak but stopped, and asked Duke Cheng to take Linglong back to the mansion to rest first, and asked Linglong to come back in three days. Although she thought about this little girl, she still wanted her to rest and go to the palace to talk to her.
Now there is only one thing that has been put in the Queen's mind, and that is Linglong's marriage.
Women in this dynasty can get married after they are fifteen years old, and usually they have not married after they are sixteen years old. Then they are old girls. Linglong has been gone for five years, and now she is nineteen, and the Empress is worried a lot.
She wanted to ask Linglong if she would like to marry the prince? Be the princess? Although she is four years apart, the prince is now born with a slender figure. The two stood together, like a golden boy and a jade girl, and were very good at matching.
She looked at the prince's words, and obviously the prince was moved. He liked to follow Linglong when he was urinating, and learned everything from Linglong. Even the queen felt that it was too difficult to ask the prince to like others after seeing a girl like Linglong. After seeing the bright sun, who would still pay attention to the weak fireflies?
Linglong and Duke Cheng Guodao were talking on the carriage when they went back. Duke Cheng Guodao had not seen his daughter for five years. He was so idle that he didn't know what he could do. Without an arm, he could not go to the battlefield anymore. He had been fighting all his life, but he didn't expect that when he was old, he would be an old man who could only bask in the sun every day.
Linglong was a little sleepy after dinner. She said that when her children grew up, her parents should pay attention to their closeness, but she still fell in love with Duke Cheng Guo’s leg, "Dad, when you came back, my grandmother didn’t say anything about you, right? Did she feel sorry for you?"
Duke Cheng remembered that the old lady was disbelief and angry when she returned to Beijing five years ago. She laughed: "Your grandmother's heart is all on your second uncle. I was injured and returned to Beijing. The first thing she thought about was not my injury, but that I had no arm and could not fight again in the future. The glory and wealth of Duke Cheng's mansion was about to end."
Linglong hummed: "Then I guess my grandmother has a deep opinion of me, right?"
That's not.
The eldest son was deposed, and the old lady was worried about wealth and prosperity. Since this was the case, wouldn’t it be natural to give it to the second son? Otherwise, it would be better for the eldest son of the second family! Therefore, before Duke Cheng was hot, the old lady was thinking about getting the title. Fortunately, Duke Cheng gave up his decent mother eight hundred years ago. He had the final say in the Duke Cheng’s mansion, but he was not obsessed with the old lady on weekdays, and he knew the title.
On the first night when Linglong returned home, she was sent back to the yard to rest by her father. The old lady wanted to show off her, but who knew that this granddaughter hadn't come to her at all. She took people with her to find Linglong, but was blocked outside the door by Duke Cheng's guards. The Duke ordered that no one should disturb the girl's rest.
The old lady almost fainted in anger.
In this way, she waited until the next night to see her granddaughter. It was not Linglong who came to pay her respects, but she came to Linglong's yard to look for her in person.
Cheng Guogong was having dinner with his daughter, and the father and daughter talked something to each other. The old lady came in and Linglong glanced at her: "Grandma is old, so no one can tell you a word?"
"I said yesterday that you were asleep, so I thought, "I should wake up today, right?" After all, I am an immortal. My granddaughter returned home and was not happy to even pay my respects to me, an immortal. What's the point of living?"
The old lady was pretentious and saw her granddaughter standing up. This scared the old lady and kept patting her heart, thinking, "My goodness, this girl, why is this girl so tall?"
The nineteen-year-old Linglong is 1.75 meters taller than many men. She lives in the army all year round, and her momentum is even more amazing, like a sharp blade unsheathed, exuding the breath of no one entering the stranger. She must be difficult to mess with in order for those who don’t have eyes to know that she is not a good person, otherwise she will be exhausted every day just dealing with those with ulterior motives.
After not seeing each other for five years, the old lady found that she was actually afraid of this granddaughter... How could this fear be said, it was the same as when her father-in-law was alive, when she saw her father-in-law.
No, it's even better!
So I didn't know what to say about the draft of the tummy. I opened my mouth and closed it, and poked the girl beside me for a while: "Sister Yu, come, say hello to your cousin."
Linglong said impatiently: "No need. If my grandmother comes here, please introduce me to some messy people, don't waste my time. I have important matters with my father. Let's make the decision on my grandmother's affairs of three-point land."
The old lady was angry and didn't dare to say anything, so she had to look at her eldest son, meaning that your daughter wouldn't care if she talked to me like this?
Duke Cheng carefully picked a piece of fish and put it into his daughter's bowl: "Long'er, eat this piece, this fish tastes great. Dad picked all the thorns for you. What do you want to eat tomorrow morning?"
Looking at the scene in front of her, the old lady seemed to be back when Zhou was still there. She has grown older over the years and has more or less a problem. Now she touched her chest and held her Kong Wenyu next to her. She has been in the Duke's Mansion for more than five years. She is no longer the little local bun that has never seen the world before. The prosperity of the capital and the wealth of the Duke's Mansion for the Duke's Mansion have been blinded by her eyes. Her heart has been raised and there are too many things she wants to get.
Just as he was about to shout, Linglong said calmly: "Butterfly, go and see what's wrong with grandmother. Take your golden needle and give it a good look for it, don't get any problems."
"yes."
The butterfly responded and took out a strange-looking piece of leather from her arms. Once it was opened, there were dozens of golden needles inside, long, short, thick, and thin. The butterfly took the longest one and pointed it at the old lady's acupoint and then pierced it-
The old lady woke up with a whimper.
This poor acting skills made Linglong amused. Even Duke Cheng curled the corners of his mouth, changed the soup and didn't change the medicine, pretending to be sick and not improving for so many years. It seems that he is naturally not suitable for acting.
The father and daughter gave him shamelessness. The old lady wanted to leave in shame. Before leaving, Kong Wenyu seemed to be thinking something. She was very hesitant and embarrassed. Finally, she comforted Linglong softly: "My cousin is not in Beijing for many years, and my grandmother has always been concerned about her cousin. Now that my cousin is back, please be filial to my grandmother."
He spoke sincerely and sincerely. Lingqing thought for a few seconds and asked, "...Who are you?"
Kong Wenyu:...
Because Duke Cheng disliked Kong Wenyu's mother, Luo, he had never had a good face to Kong Wenyu and didn't even want to introduce him. In fact, Linglong did not forget it, but her acting skills were obviously hundreds of times better than the old lady. When Kong Wenyu heard that she didn't recognize her, her eyes were red and tears fell. She looked like she was bullied. It made the old lady feel very distressed. She hugged Kong Wenyu and scolded Linglong: "Why are you so big, and you still talk like this without any restraint! This is your cousin! It is the daughter of my niece in her mother's family! Didn't you see it five years ago?"
"Grandma, I've seen so many people. It's impossible for me to remember any cat or dog."
Even though he said so, it was obvious that Linglong had no apology at all.
The old lady still wanted to speak, Cheng Guo said justice: "It's not too early, so my mother should go back and rest early."
When her eldest son was sank, she was exactly the same as the old Duke. When the old Duke was still there, the father and son just didn't want her. This is why the second son, who was sweet-mouthed, would like to please others, is even more fond of the old lady. In recent years, due to the disabled Duke Cheng, the second master Fuchuan was even more filial to the old lady. He waited for his elder brother to retreat so that he could become a Duke and live up to his delight in the Duke!
Every time I see the old lady and Fuchuan mother, the son of Duke Cheng feels sore.
He finished the meal with his daughter, talked for a while before leaving.
Linglong only rested for one day at home, and the next day she went to court with Duke Cheng. When she woke up early in the morning, she took off her skirt and changed into light armor, and was still dressed as a general. She made great contributions over the past five years, but she never asked the emperor for any reward. In the eyes of others, she seemed to be rebellious and cynical, but they didn't know that Duke Cheng had other plans.
This is the first time in history that a female official went to court. Linglong was not frightened and had a stronger aura than the civil and military officials combined. However, those officials would bow their heads in a hurry after looking at her. Duke Cheng was standing by his daughter. When the morning court was about to end, Duke Cheng finally left: "I have the right to report."
The emperor was angry with Duke Cheng and asked, "What do you want to report to me if you have any questions?"
"When I go back to the emperor, I only have one daughter. Fortunately, this woman does not humiliate the sage and does not let the sage benevolence. Therefore, I dare to ask the emperor to allow my little daughter to inherit the title of me and make her a daughter in the world, and ask the emperor to fulfill her!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all officials were shocked!
There was a lot of discussion in the hall, and the prince clenched his fists and looked up at Linglong. My sister had never told her about this. She wanted to become a Duke? Instead of his Crown Princess?
The emperor made a gesture and thought: "What do you think of the family of all the ministers?"
"I think it's absolutely not possible!"
"Yes! Never! The emperor clearly understands, how can a woman succeed? It's ridiculous! Absurd! Ridiculous!"
"Not bad! The courtesy cannot be abolished. There has never been a precedent for a woman to inherit the title since ancient times, and I have never heard of any woman in the world! Cheng Guogong was simply whimsical!"
Everyone didn't finish their mouths. In fact, who will inherit this title has nothing to do with them, but because Linglong is a woman, they can't accept that women are so outstanding - if Linglong becomes Duke Cheng, then they will pay tribute to their respects when they see this Duke in the future. How can this be done?
"It is really a shame for us to be an official in the same court as a woman!"
Linglong didn't recognize the person who shouted the most. She looked very hard to describe anyway. She glanced lightly: "It is a shame for you to be an official in the same court as a woman. You should be born from a woman. You should be killed by hitting her head."
This is what... Before the officials got angry, Duke Cheng yelled first: "What a mess! Did Fujiang and the others take you out of trouble? I want to kill those turtle grandsons! I will take my daughter like this!"
No, Duke, it’s obvious that this is inheritance?
"I feel that women are humble and enjoy my blessings. Do you still have shame?" Linglong sneered, "I have been in the border for five years. Why didn't you catch me back earlier? Now that the country is prosperous, you have begun to fire your horses and have been officials who have been doing nothing for decades. I feel sorry for the salary given to you by the emperor. The money can be heard in the water. It is a waste to give you a group of mediocre people who are full of energy."
"If anyone has never been before, there will be no future afterwards? The etiquette cannot be abolished, but there is no law that says that women cannot inherit titles. Who will hold the foundation of my Duke's Mansion? That is my Duke's Mansion's freedom. Are you not convinced?"
Linglong sneered, "Come on a fight. If I lose, I will commit suicide immediately. If you lose, you will resign and get out of office. How about it?"
Of course, Duke Cheng stood on his daughter's side: "That's right! Do you dare!"
...Who the hell dares this!
Haven’t been beaten enough by Duke Cheng, the old man?!
"Ha." Seeing that no one dared to respond, Linglong chuckled, "A group of turtles shrank."
She is really reckless and doesn't take men in her eyes at all. She challenges their authority naked|naked|naked, but someone wants to teach her a lesson, but her height alone is not as good as a girl...why are you fighting? Although Linglong has not been in the capital for the past five years, there are legends of her everywhere in the capital. Even the barbarians who are killing people run away when they hear her name, let alone those civil officials?
The emperor looked at the group of ministers below with a smile and dared not speak out, so he made a decision: "Duke Cheng is devoted to serving the country, and has worked hard for many years and made great contributions. His daughter has made great contributions. If he does not reward him, wouldn't he be disappointed with the hearts of loyal ministers and good generals?"
Someone came out and said, "Isn't it beautiful to give her the daughter of Cheng Duke the imperial edict and give her a marriage?"
