I saw a man in a dark red court dress standing up closer to the emperor, his slightly gray hair was meticulously tied up, and then he looked at his face, although his face had already had traces of time, but it was difficult to hide the heroic spirit between his eyebrows, and after a closer look, he was really similar to Lu Yunqi, presumably this old marquis Lu was also a handsome man when he was young.

Old Marquis Lu is a lady in a full costume on the side, and her appearance is a little worse than that of Old Marquis Lu, but she is also a little dignified and elegant. This person is Lu Yunqi's unrelated mother-in-law, the biological mother of the eldest prince of the Lu family's mansion.

Old Marquis Lu got up, raised his glass with both hands and bowed deeply to the emperor: "Your Majesty Lao is worried in your heart, everything is fine with the minister's body!" ”

Old Marquis Lu was born as a military general, and the position of this marquis has long been handed down. When the first emperor was in the Lu family, the Lu family was not very prosperous, and the old marquis only made great contributions two years before the new emperor ascended the throne, and together with all the military generals in the court that day, he helped to pacify the four frontiers in the fashion and in the shallow palace.

It is said that there are a number of wealth, endless children and grandchildren, the general lord family has been reproduced for three or four generations after a large number of people, and they are overwhelmed, most of the lord's descendants are often in chaos, and most of the sons and daughters are like this.

The current emperor is merciful, and after ascending the throne, he has revived several lords' families, but these people have already suffered a lot of vitality, like frightened birds, and no longer dare to jump, just want to hold a title and strive to let future generations eat for a few more years.

There are really not many people like the Lu family, who are already at the end of the road, but at a critical moment, a carp stands up again.

The emperor is young in the end, and he is a little rusty with the greetings of the ministers, so he only echoed and asked a few questions with the old marquis Lu and then diverted the topic.

Fortunately, there is Shen Jiading. Speaking of his identity, it is actually very embarrassing, first of all, the queen mother likes him more than today's saint, and now there is only a three-year-old imperial heir in the saint, and the rest of the brothers are even more pitiful, either from a bad background, or with very poor qualifications, this Shen Jiading is already a prince in the eyes of many people, if the emperor has any accidents, he may be the one who inherits the unification.

But now that he is still active at the banquet, he has played poor with the emperor, and the emperor's face has always been gentle, and the interaction between him and Shen Jiading is quite a bit of brotherhood.

After padding his empty stomach slightly, Shen Nanzhi looked up curiously at the lords sitting at the top. The closest to the Son of Heaven were the people of the royal palace first, followed by the lord's family, and then the officials were neatly arranged one by one in order of rank, and the more powerful the one, the higher the seat.

"General Qin, eat wine!" The emperor suddenly spoke, but when he saw a person standing up from the banquet, this person was born with a heroic face, and his sword eyebrows and eyes all carried the decisive aura of killing in the ranks, Qin Lie looked extremely tall together, and his well-proportioned and sturdy figure supported the red and black court clothes on his body very properly. To Shen Nanzhi's surprise, this Qin Lie actually looked like he was only about twenty-six or seventeen years old!

He held the jade cup in one hand, and his movements were not restrained and cramped by ordinary scholars, he only raised his hand with a big grin and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" The minister dared to pay tribute to the emperor with a cup! ”

The emperor, who was sitting on the high seat, smiled lightly and drank the wine in his hand, "General Qin has been in the army for more than ten years and has made great contributions to my Dayu. Over the years, Di Rong in the north has repeatedly invaded, and if the Liaodong Army is not led by General Qin, I am afraid that the six counties of Liaodong have already become a plundering place for thieves! ”

"If there is no strong support from all the people in the court for the war, if there are no tens of millions of soldiers who sacrifice their lives, how can one minister defend the great Liaodong?" Qin Lie clenched his hands into fists, and what he said was neither humble nor arrogant.

Shen Nanzhi admired it a little, whether it was true or not, this Qin Lie was like a good general who was not arrogant or discouraged in victory. If it weren't for what Shen Yao said, Concubine Qin had repeatedly taken over the throne in the harem, and Qin Lie and his sister secretly talked about Chen Cang......

"I heard that General Qin Lie is a rare general in a thousand years," Shen Zhixia whispered on the side, she had gone out to meet with the ladies of the capital a few times when she entered Beijing, and her understanding of the capital was already above Shen Nanzhi, "When I was ten years old, I was in the army with the original old General Qin." Hey, it is said that the Qin family has only one son in the line of General Qin, and the old general is willing to give it up. He became a general at the age of fifteen, and has made countless military exploits so far. ”

Shen Nanzhi chuckled a few times: "You know everything!" ”

"The girls in the capital like to talk about it most after tea and dinner is today's celebrities, sister-in-law, you don't like to go out too much on weekdays, so you don't know this." Shen Zhixia was a little proud.

Shen Nanzhi pursed his lips: "You little girls just talk about Lord Lu and Little Prince An, General Qin Lie is in his twenties?" The lady in Beijing also has thoughts about him? ”

"That's natural, General Qin Lie has been fighting abroad all the year round, and he hasn't married a wife so far! Well, but there was a wife before, but she died of dystocia after just one year of marriage...... Since then, General Qin has not continued the strings," Shen Zhixia tilted his little head, and said very handily, "Sister-in-law, you don't know this, although General Qin Lie is a little older now, he is only twenty-five years old after all!" Not to mention that there is no wife in the family, he is so powerful now, who doesn't want to be on the same page with the current Qin family? ”

Unexpectedly, this Qin Lie was only twenty-five years old, and in the end, he was tired of war, and he didn't look as young as Lu Yunqi on his face.

However, he is so powerful, the Qin family has not yet been crowned a marquis and worshiped as prime minister, and they still rely on him to work hard to change his status...... In this way, the generals who sacrificed their lives for the Dayu Kingdom did not have titles, but those who relied on the wine bags and rice bags of their ancestors could enjoy the comfort of sitting and eating for generations...... It's no wonder that he Qin Lie is unhappy in his heart, and he has a little more restless thoughts.

Shen Nanzhi sighed and patted Shen Zhixia's shoulder gently: "Silly girl, there are too many people in the capital involved behind their backs, General Qin has nothing to do with our Shen family, don't go and fight his idea!" ”

Shen Zhixia didn't react, she didn't know about Qin Lie's framing of Shen Sifeng that had been rumored before, she only straightened up slightly, and said solemnly: "General Qin Lie also relied on his own efforts to build the country, I know that my father seems to have a bit of discord with him politically, but this situation is too common." It's all a position that the soldiers have exchanged for throwing their heads and spilling their blood, and General Qin Lie is just more powerful, why do you think that you and my father are always a little hostile to him? ”
