Yang Weiran smiled and said, "What the prince taught me is, where does the old slave know about these wars? Listen to their guesses. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
While the two were talking, Li Yuehua had already walked to the main hall, and saw Li Yuexu sitting behind the desk reading, so he stepped forward and knelt down and saluted: "Brother Li Yuehua, knock to see Your Majesty." ”
Li Yuexu raised his head, saw Li Yuehua, hurriedly walked around from behind the case, stretched out his hand to support Li Yuehua, affectionately pulled him to the cushion beside him and sat down, patted his hand and said angrily: "Why did it delay until this time?" It's so anxious to make my brother wait. ”
Li Yuehua said guiltily: "My brother contracted the wind cold on the road and fell ill in the inn, thanks to a girl's treatment, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to come at this time." ”
Li Yuexu heard him talk about "girl", and asked with interest: "Where is the girl?" Let's hear it. ”
Li Yuehua didn't know how to tell the imperial brother that he wanted to marry Shi Jia'er as his wife, and now Li Yuexu took the initiative to ask, and before he could open his mouth, red clouds flew on his cheeks, his excited eyes lit up, and his voice trembled and replied: "It's a very beautiful and very beautiful girl, it's the first time I've seen such a beautiful girl." When her surname was young, her maiden name was Jia'er. The family is a big family in Leizhou, and she also has an older brother, she is very smart and kind, and she is quite knowledgeable about medicine. He looked at Li Yuexu eagerly, and smiled pleadingly, "Your Majesty, my brother wants to marry this girl as the princess, I don't know what Your Majesty means......
Li Yuexu looked at this younger brother with interest, showing the shyness of a young man, nodded dotingly, and said with a smile: "Okay, whatever you want." I didn't think you'd finally get married, hehe......"
At this time, Mr. Yang came in, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, the queen brought Mrs. Huaguo to meet Your Majesty." After speaking, he deliberately glanced at Li Yuehua a few more times. Li Yuehua looked at him puzzled, but Mr. Yang quickly stepped aside and gave a way to the dignified and luxurious Empress Zheng and Mrs. Huaguo.
Mrs. Hua Guo was dressed in a pearl-colored brocade robe, with a long skirt dragging behind her, and a pearl hairpin flower swaying gently with her small gait on her high bun. She stepped forward with great grace, squatted down slightly and saluted: "Slave Zheng Yujuan, please say hello to Your Majesty, and please say hello to Prince Yun." ”
Li Yuexu smiled: "Don't be polite, sit down." Has the queen seen Wei Guogong? How is his injury now? ”
Empress Zheng smiled and pulled Zheng Yujuan, put her next to Li Yuehua and sat down, then walked to Li Yuexu and sat down and replied: "Your Majesty, the concubine has been to see my brother, fortunately, there is nothing serious in her body, but this arrow wound is in the back, but it is very strange and ......."
Before Empress Zheng finished speaking, Li Yuexu interrupted her dissatisfiedly: "For this arrow wound in the back, I have been making trouble for so many days, and everyone in the army is in danger, hasn't the suspect been caught?" Hurry up and let go of your hands! ”
Empress Zheng said: "I only caught a small official who was the capital of the six armies, a small official with a sesame seed, separated by several layers, and a person who couldn't be beaten by eight poles, but who instructed him to do such a big case?" What's even stranger is that the suspect's family is missing, and the suspect died somehow! The concubine thought about whether she should let someone from the Patrol Division come to investigate, and his family had to be found. This murder of important officials of the court is not a trivial matter......"
Li Yuexu shook his head helplessly and sighed: "The suspect, you don't want him to die, even if I ask the Patrol Department to investigate, but I have to investigate." Do you want to arrest people everywhere in the army? Don't force those arrogant soldiers to mutiny! The family members of Yu Hou are nothing more than ignorant women and children, what can they know? What do you want them to do? From my point of view, the army has won the battle, and it is the right thing to pay compensation and praise. Zheng Qing first recuperated at home, and after fighting for half his life, he also took advantage of this to rest. Chengyong is fifteen years old, right? Let Chengyong come out and experience more. It's a pity that Chengwu died early, and that child is the most like An Ge. ”
As soon as Li Yuexu's words came out, Empress Zheng's face changed, and then she smiled and said: "Yes, the emperor is sympathetic to his brother, and the concubine has thanked him first, and when his brother is well, he will let him take Chengyong into the palace to thank him." ”
Li Yuehua said: "The Sixth Army? The Sixth Army of the Holy Warriors? Isn't the Holy Warrior Army an army under the rule of the military chief? This time I went to the Northern Han Dynasty, and I also followed? ”
Li Yuexu said with a smile: "You don't know that you live in Lingnan, Wu Changhou doesn't care about the affairs of the army now, but his son Zhao Boyong is young and promising, and he is a material that can be made." The Sixth Army, in this campaign against the Northern Han Dynasty, attacked the city and plundered the land, and made a lot of contributions. He turned to Empress Zheng and said, "I have decreed that the Duke of Wei Guo fought for the country, and he was seriously wounded, and he is really a model soldier and a pillar of the country. A special gold plaque will be given, and a thousand households will be feuded. From tomorrow, the forbidden army will return to business as usual, and the officers and men of the three armies will be rewarded according to their merits. ”
Empress Zheng understood what Li Yuexu meant, since the class returned to the dynasty, the soldiers who shed blood and sweat were not rewarded, and they had to be suspected of assassinating the chief officer, but they were afraid that the resentment in the army would be imminent. Therefore, he had no choice but to accept it when he saw it, and said with his head bowed: "Your Majesty Shengming, the concubine is here to thank her brother first." ”
Empress Zheng asked Li Yuehua with a smile again: "Prince Yun, this mountain is high and the road is far away, but he has been running on the road for a long time, right?" My sister, Fang just told me, met a heroic prince at the gate of the palace, and only then did she know that it was Prince Yun. ”
Li Yuexu interrupted her and said, "Yue Hua is here to report to me about his marriage, and he is about to marry a Leizhou girl as a princess." ”
Mrs. Hua Guo's complexion changed when she heard this, and she glanced at Li Yuehua sadly. Empress Zheng pursed her lips and smiled: "Leizhou girl? That's the Han Chinese? Brother, it's not the imperial sister-in-law who is blocking you, you also know that our Li family still has to take the Shatuo people as the foundation...... In the past, in my brother's army, when did this hurtful thing happen behind the scenes? That is, this time, there are Han people in the army, and there is a strange incident, not to mention this one! ”
Li Yuehua was dissatisfied in his heart, but he couldn't show it, and said with a wry smile: "Imperial sister-in-law, the emperor has long had a will, and the Shatuo people and the Han people can marry freely. ”
Empress Zheng smiled: "Shatuo people, do you mean us?" We're no ordinary Shatuo people...... Yue Hua, have you forgotten that you are the great chief of the Shatuo people! If you marry a Han girl as a princess, won't it chill the hearts of these Shatuo heroes who are brave and loyal to follow Your Majesty to fight the world? As she spoke, her expression gradually became solemn, and in the end, even Li Yuexu sat up straight. Li Yuehua was even more dumbfounded and couldn't answer.
Li Yuexu coughed to break the deadlock, and he said to Li Yuehua with a smile: "Yuehua, what the queen said is reasonable, this girl must be very good, but even if she is from Shatuo and wants to be a princess, her family background is really low......"
When Li Yuexu said this, Li Yuehua couldn't sit still, he looked at Li Yuexu pleadingly: "Your Majesty! ”
