Chapter 39 The General and the Princess
(Add to the first helm leader in the world)
The battle of Dazhou was not easy to win. In fact, it was extremely difficult. Not only did tens of thousands of soldiers die in battle, but even the enemy could be seen at the top of Shaoliang City. Moreover, the natural dangers of the north and Beiyan County, which Dazhou has always been proud of. After this battle, it is enough to prove that no matter how perfect the pass is, in the eyes of the monks, it is just an ordinary field ridge. If you want to take it, you will step over it directly.
If Li Fuyao and Qinghuai had not killed all the monks who stayed in Luosang River, the situation in the Great Zhou would not be better now. The best situation was that the monks occupied the Great Zhou Palace and asked the Emperor of Great Zhou to submit the letter to Yanling. If the Emperor of Great Zhou was indeed as rumored, he would have no chance of life now, and the Great Zhou would have been included in the territory of the Chen Kingdom within a few days.
As for who actually has the final say, I believe both Chen State and Dazhou know.
However, although the danger has been solved and the army of Chen has already been driven out of the Great Zhou territory, Yanling in the north is still like a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the people of Zhou. It will fall down at any time. But even so, Shaoliang City does not look panic. When Xie Ying returned, the city was still full of joy, with lights everywhere.
Xie Ying sat upright on a white horse, and the treasure sword on his waist swayed from side to side, making some thudding sounds from time to time. Xie Ying looked ahead with a calm expression. He listened to the sounds like him, Xie Ying coming from time to time from time to time from time to time from time to time from time to time. There was no fluctuation in his expression. In the distance, Princess Ji Nanlong, who was mixed in the crowd, stared at Xie Ying on the horse's back from an excellent perspective. The marriage was held a few days ago. Naturally, the sudden battle in Zhou State.
It was a mess, and the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty seemed to have decided to betroth Princess Ji Nanlong to Xie Ying, recruit Xie Ying as his son-in-law, and did not hesitate to violate the ancestral system and wanted Xie Ying to continue to serve in the army. In fact, in this war, Xie Ying's command ability was enough to prove that the young Xie Jiabaoshu had the ability to command a country's army, but he was only very experienced. In time, the first person in the Great Zhou army would naturally be his belongings.
Seeing Xie Ying about to pass by this street, the princess of the Great Zhou, Ji Nanlong, who had just lost his mind, saw this scene, and when he felt hot, he squeezed out of the crowd and blocked Xie Ying's white horse. For a moment, the people on both sides of the street noticed the scene here and put their eyes here in unison.
Xie Ying gently patted the horse's back. The war horse that was born and died and galloped on the battlefield naturally stopped moving forward in a sympathetic way. He just watched Ji Nanlong sniff, but Xie Ying had no intention of getting off the horse. He sat on the horse's back and looked at Ji Nanlong and asked softly: "What's wrong with the princess stopping me in the street?"
The military law of the Great Zhou Dynasty was clearly written. Even the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty could not kneel down when wearing armor. He even said that it was just a princess. Xie Ying had been influenced by her since childhood and said that he was very likely to become the prince consort of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He had seen Ji Nanlong, and he had a good impression of him, and he did not hate him, and even liked him a little. This made this young man who had been proud since childhood and was even more reluctant to kneel down to this girl who might become his wife.
Ji Nanlong was spoiled by the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he was not the kind of domineering person. At this moment, he was stared at by a group of people, and he was just a little nervous and had no other thoughts. She raised her head and looked at Xie Ying, her lips moved, but she couldn't say anything.
The people on both sides of the road first watched such a young and beautiful girl rushing out of the crowd and blocking General Xie, and then they felt that the young lady from which family had loved General Xie for a long time, so they dared to rush out of the crowd and block the horses in the street. But after stopping the horses, they probably had a little thin-skinned face and never said a word. The people on the roadside were suspiciously thinking that this young lady really thought General Xie would speak first?
But not everyone could watch the scene without any progress. Soon, words rang out among the crowd, probably just to make a fuss to let the little lady speak.
For a moment, the sounds came one after another, and it was very lively.
And Xie Ying just smiled faintly and waited for the princess of Dazhou to speak.
For a moment, it was really hard for Ji Nanlong. She glanced at Xie Ying, opened her mouth, and her face flushed even more.
Xie Ying allowed her to continue the stalemate, but she was embarrassed to be condescending, but instead turned over and dismounted, and naturally placed one hand on the horse's neck.
Xie Ying looked at Ji Nanlong, who had never met for many years, and was silent all the time.
Ji Nanlong opened his mouth in front of the horse and shut up several times before asking: "Xie Ying, are you going to hand over the procedures to the Ministry of War and going to leave Beijing to the south?"
Xie Ying nodded and smiled calmly: "That's true, southern Xinjiang is where I should stay."
Ji Nanlong asked in a low voice: "Can you not leave?"
When he said this, Ji Nanlong was very confident and his voice seemed a little small.
So Xie Ying lowered his head and asked again, "What did you say?"
When Ji Nanlong looked up and thought about opening his mouth again, he happened to look at Xie Ying's blood-stained hair. So the second time the words of the Princess of Great Zhou turned into another sentence, "How about I wash your hair?"
Xie Ying obviously raised his head and was stunned. He looked at Ji Nanlong and nodded quickly, "Okay."
Then soon, the two men left the street and came to a small yard next to the street.
There happened to be an ancient well in the yard.
The original residents of the courtyard were so enthusiastic that they carried the wooden basin. When they handed it to Ji Nanlong, they smiled and asked her to work harder. They thought to themselves that this little lady was not only very beautiful, but also not very courageous, but Xie Ying smiled but said nothing.
The weather was not cold, and Xie Ying was a martial artist again, so using cold water was nothing. Therefore, after digging out water from the ancient well, it quickly filled a wooden basin of well water.
Xie Ying bent down and lowered his head. Ji Nanlong took the bun with his hair tied up for him, put all his black hair in the wooden basin of water. Without any movement, he had dyed a basin of water red.
Ji Nanlong suddenly felt a little sore in his nose. She asked in a crying voice: "Can you not be so active in killing enemies in battle?"
Xie Ying felt her emotions and said calmly: "I'm not very relieved to leave it to others, and it's always better for me to die than you."
Ji Nan clang flirted with his hair and said angrily: "You can just say it, but you have never seen you really do anything."
Xie Ying said with some shame: "I really don't dare to marry you. It's not that I think you are not good. If I marry you, I will have to stay in the palace after that. I can't stay."
Ji Nanlong clumsyly washed away the blood stains for him and wiped them dry. His movements were very gentle, and some words were not spoken in his throat.
And the young hero who was already well-known among the Great Zhou army lowered his head and felt a little uncomfortable.
When Xie Ying entered the city, Changchun Palace thought about setting up a horse to leave the palace, but this proposal was rejected by the Emperor of Great Zhou. Instead, he only brought Su Jin, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor. After leaving the palace, he went to invite the prime minister Li Ji. The group of three watched Xie Ying enter the city from a high building not far from the city tower. When entering the city, the Emperor of Great Zhou even praised Xie Ying as a real talent for commanding the army. If it weren't for his young age, he would have let him command the army of the Great Zhou.
Su Jin did not dare to talk to this, and the magistrate Li Ji, who had always been in charge of the battlefield, agreed that this should be the case. In the following time, the Emperor of Zhou stopped talking. After waiting for Princess Ji Nanlong, Anyang, to lead Xie Ying into a small courtyard, the Emperor of Zhou smiled and said, "It seems that I have to go back soon and ask the inner court to enact the order to keep Xie Ying, the little bastard, in Shaoliang City for some time, at least I have to get married."
Li Ji smiled gently and said, "General Xie is young and promising, and I am the pillar of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is natural to become the son-in-law, but Your Majesty really wants to let our General Xie stay in the palace all his life?"
The Emperor of Great Zhou asked, "Then according to Li Zaizhi, I have to promise Princess Anyang to others?"
Li Ji smiled but didn't say anything.
This old fox, who had been struggling in the court for decades, had long known what the Emperor of Zhou was thinking. After all, there was already a rumor in Shaoliang City before that the Emperor of Zhou wanted to abolish the ancestral system of the son-in-law who was not allowed to take office, but he did not find a suitable opportunity for a while. Now he asked this question, just to test the tone of the first civil servant.
But this slippery old fish does not bite the hook.
The Emperor of Great Zhou turned his head and looked at Su Jin.
The eunuch, the chief eunuch of the inner court, served the Emperor of the Great Zhou for many years. At this moment, he naturally knew what this person was thinking. He whispered: "Your Majesty, since General Xie is a pillar of the country and is in love with Princess Anyang, he should not be separated. It's just that the ancestor system is ahead, and it's a bit difficult to deal with, but Li Zaizhi may have some solutions..."
In this way, this problem was thrown at Li Ji.
The latter could not escape, and squinted his eyes and looked at the eunuch in charge of the seal who had never looked at him on the surface. He followed the flow and said: "Since your Majesty has this meaning, the changes in the ancestral system are acceptable. However, there may be some ministers in the court who do not agree with it. However, the fact that the Great Zhou can survive this crisis is General Xie. If he could have a letter of ten thousand words, what the people would like, those ministers would not say anything."
The Emperor of Great Zhou's eyes lit up and he didn't say anything, but Su Jin kept this in his heart.
The three of them stopped talking about this matter, but the Emperor of Great Zhou looked to the north and said calmly: "The Great Zhou has endured this difficulty, and I don't know how many waves will be surging in the future."
Li Ji also sighed: "If Your Majesty had learned from the monarch of Chen, he would naturally not have lived such a tired life."
The Emperor of Great Zhou smiled, "Some people can't learn it, and there is no need to learn it. My Great Zhou is a wolf, so I am destined to not learn to shake my tail and beg for mercy."
He looked into the distance and smiled and said, "Even if my Great Zhou Kingdom is destroyed, there will be at least one Zhou person left. It's enough to have one Zhou person. I don't mind it."
