Hearing Huang Qiong's words, Duan Jin couldn't help but cover his mouth gently and said: "Duan Lin has already told me what your majesty said. Pucheng Gong is my father's half-brother, and he is also a member of the Dali Kingdom." He is from a distinguished family. If Your Majesty agrees to this marriage, it can achieve the purpose that Your Majesty originally expected. Your Majesty, since General Zhao is not willing, then let’s forget about this marriage. After all, forceful melons are not sweet. Duan Although Lin has a good impression of him, she still has no objection to the marriage."
"I know that Your Majesty thinks highly of General Zhao. After returning to the court this time, General Zhao will definitely have to be promoted to a higher rank. At least a marquis is indispensable. Although the status of a marquis in Daqi is actually no worse than that of a duke in Dali. . But the age difference between the two people is too big. There is also a big difference in their previous life background. One used to play chess, calligraphy and painting every day, while the other spent the whole day dancing with swords and guns. The other led the army to fight all year round. , facing the soldiers below."
"Don't I still know the virtues of those who lead soldiers? Who with a gentle temper can lead those great soldiers? Just like Yu Mingyuan, it is reasonable to say that he was also born in the second rank of Jinshi, but now in Li Xiu's words He said, I can't even listen to what Biao says occasionally. Since General Zhao can fall in His Majesty's eyes, I can naturally trust his character. Although His Majesty himself is a bit more carefree, it is possible that the people who fall in His Majesty's eyes are not, at least in terms of character, the kind of people who live and drink. people."
"But the problem is, the quality of life between two people is not the answer to everything. The difference between the two of them is really huge. When they are forced together, the two become married, and their lives are also different. Awkward. What should be the most important thing between husband and wife is harmony. Your Majesty, do you think the two of them can talk about it together? You can't just say nothing except that. If anything happens again, it will be embarrassing. That’s Your Majesty.”
Huang Qiong understood what Duan Jin meant. Obviously, Princess Yunluo didn't agree with this either. Duan Jin probably felt sorry for his little niece and was unwilling to force her to agree to the marriage. It happened that Zhao Wushu didn't agree either, so he just went down the slope. Looking at Duan Lin standing in front of him, with a face that looked like a fairy but was cold and indifferent, Huang Qiong pinched her nose with a headache. After hesitating for a long time, he finally nodded. But he didn't have the intention to face Zhao Wushan's Huang Qiong.
He whispered something in Duan Jin's ear. After hearing this, Duan Jin rolled his eyes at him, then called Duan Lin over and said, "Since this matter is caused by your marriage, you'd better go in and let that General Zhao get up. Regardless of whether your marriage is successful or not. No, after all, you have a certain affinity. Your Majesty is a little tired and doesn’t want to say anything to him anymore. The way General Zhao is now, it’s not appropriate for others to get involved in this matter. Go ahead and make a complete break with him."
Duan Lin heard Duan Jin's instructions, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, pushed the door open and walked into the study. Perhaps Huang Qiong was really angry with Zhao Wushu, so he took Duan Jin and left here without looking back. As for Dao Meiping who was left there, Huang Qiong just glanced sideways. Although he was still a little itchy, Duan Jin beside him made him dare not pay attention to it in the end. Seeing Huang Qiong's awkward look, Duan Jin sighed softly.
Why didn't Duan Jin notice Huang Qiong's little move? And she was well aware of this man's strong desire to control women. This master definitely has no intention of giving up on his wife-in-law. It was just because of myself that I suppressed all the thoughts in my heart. Thinking of this, Duan Jin couldn't help but get a headache. It would have been fine if she had been replaced by another woman. He really couldn't bear to accept her, so he accepted her. But this woman is his royal sister-in-law.
Along the way, the couple had their own thoughts. Duan Jin has been struggling in his heart, while Huang Qiong has repeatedly considered whether the two candidates are suitable. Duan Jin seemed to be taking Huang Qiong to visit the palace, but in fact, his thoughts were not there at all. As for Huang Qiong, her head was also spinning very fast. Just seeing Huang Qiong looking a little distracted, Duan Jin misunderstood him and was still thinking about Dao Meiping in his heart. Although he didn't say it out loud, he was somewhat unhappy.
The two of them walked in unison until they were blocked by a woman. The woman didn't know Huang Qiong, but she obviously knew Duan Jin. He knelt down on the ground and kowtowed desperately: "Elder Princess, you are the eldest princess of Dali Kingdom. Even if there are ten thousand people before him who can't help you, this Dali Kingdom is your mother country after all, and you are also his direct relative." Auntie. Are you just going to watch Dali fall into the hands of Qi? Jingu, please let him go."
Huang Qiong, whose thoughts were disturbed, was obviously unhappy when he looked at the crying woman in front of him. And it was not that he didn't recognize this woman. She was the queen of Duan Jin's nephew who was escorted there yesterday along with the Dali royal family. Last night, we had a chance encounter. Seeing this woman holding Duan Jin's legs and crying miserably, Huang Qiong patted Duan Jin's hand and said, "Sister Jin will just deal with this person. I'll go over there and wait for a while."
After that, he turned around and walked to the long corridor on one side, without looking at this side with his hands behind his back. After Huang Qiong left, Duan Jin looked at the emperor's niece in front of him, who was also Gao Zhisheng's niece. But his tone was cold: "Your Majesty told me that there will be no problems with the state of Dali and the continuation of the country. You don't have to worry about this. But whether he can sit on the throne is not They are two things. Look, what has become of the Dali Kingdom under his governance?"
"To win over the traitors in Ailao Mountain and destroy almost all the families in Ailao Mountain, don't you know that he is cutting off his wings? Also, Shanchanhou's palace has grown to such an extent that it has even threatened the safety of the royal family, but he Not only has there been no change, but he is focused on waging conspiracy and infighting. Look again, the palace of Shanchan Mansion in Tokyo is at least more than double the size of when his father was in power. The power of the domestic aristocratic families is very different. It gets worse day by day."
"Don't tell me that your uncle or you don't know anything about your uncle's collusion with the false emperor? Gao Mei, I won't tell you some things to save face for you or him. But that doesn't mean you can take it. Talk to me about those things. Remember, it was him and your father who brought Dali to where it is now. The Qi army was not brought by them. It was your father who repeatedly intervened in Da Qi's rebellion. He was provoked here. Now that we have reached this point, it is his and your uncle's fault."
"Looking at His Majesty's appearance today, it won't take too long for your husband and wife to reunite. When you are reunited with him, remember to reflect on yourself. However, since you have found me today, for the sake of our relatives, Sir, let me be honest with you. Neither you nor he will die. Your Majesty is not that bloodthirsty. But as for what the outcome will be in the future, don’t ask me. Ask me, I don’t know. Besides, I It's just that an ordinary concubine beside His Majesty cannot be involved in politics."
After Duan Jin said this, the woman also knew that she was in the wrong and did not dare to plead for her husband. He just collapsed to the ground, covering his face and crying bitterly. Duan Jin stood there, looking at the woman coldly. It was obvious that Duan Jin was quite dissatisfied with his imperial nephew. Although I feel very sympathetic to this niece-in-law. But for her, Duan Jin could only say that he was powerless. And in Duan Jin's opinion, this matter has nothing to do with her as the queen.
At this point, Duan Jin ignored him. The woman covering her face and crying came to Huang Qiong's side. Looking at the husband in front of him, he hesitated for a moment. Seeing Duan Jin like this, Huang Qiong pinched his pretty nose and said softly: "Is it solved? I forgot to tell Sister Jin that the Dong family and the Yang family sent 7,000 troops to try to rescue you two days ago. The emperor's nephew was defeated by Guo Chen and his entire army was destroyed. It is estimated that our emperor's nephew will be here in a few days."
"The thoughts of the Dong family and the Yang family should be clear with Sister Jin's ice and snow intelligence. She is just testing me. Now it seems that the Dong family and the Yang family have a lot of plans. I have been thinking about it just now, our third nephew, Can we face this complicated situation? Also, is Gao Zhiping a suitable candidate? I am not afraid of a person being ambitious, let alone being too ambitious. But the premise is that his ambition must be It’s within my control.”
"If he is out of my control, the harm to Da Qi will be limited. But it may be difficult for the new king we have appointed. Especially since the Dong family and the Yang family are still watching covetously. I estimate that as long as If the person in the Chuwei Mansion goes out of the city to surrender, then the representatives of those two families or the head of the family should come to the Shanchan Mansion. With such a complicated situation, coupled with Gao Zhiping, who has been dormant for so many years and is also very ambitious, I am really a little bit confused. I’m worried about the complicated situation my subordinates will face after they evacuate.”
I heard that Huang Qiong was thinking about business just now. But he misunderstood, he was still thinking about his imperial sister-in-law. Duan Jin couldn't help but blush with shame on his face. However, regarding Huang Qiong's worries, Duan Jin sighed softly and said: "Your Majesty, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Your Majesty will do your best. As for the mistress, whether he can stand still depends on his own ability. He is already Dali. The royal family is the most capable of this generation. Apart from him, I’m afraid I can’t single out anyone else.”
Leaning in Huang Qiong's arms, Duan Jin thought of his nephews and even the current situation of his uncles, and couldn't help but sigh: "Perhaps it is true that we can't get richer than three generations. How heroic the ancestors of the Holy Civil and Military Emperors were, and he single-handedly defeated The splendid country of four prefectures and counties for thousands of miles. Even though there have been ups and downs, they have never given up their ambitions. But now look at the descendants of the Duan family. Not only are they not good at martial arts, but they are all indulgent in sex. I only care about the romance all day long. The descendants of the Duan family, from my grandfather’s generation, have actually begun to decline. Even the martial arts passed down from the family, no one is willing to study it seriously. "
"If there was only one person who could master the martial arts passed down from his family, he wouldn't have been nearly forced to cede territory by those Tubo monks when my father was forced to do so. Even those with a little bit of ability would focus on fighting for power. Duan There are really not many descendants of our family who have become capable. There are only three now, and their ability and character are quite good. Your Majesty, if you don’t even choose three, then there really will be no one. If it were someone else, I’m afraid one is worse than the other.”
"As for Gao Zhiping, I feel that he is indeed a bit scheming. The talents of the Gao family who have been promoted are still a bit young. If they are registered, they will not be able to suppress the trouble at all. Not to mention helping the royal family, even themselves can't protect themselves. As for There are many talented people of the Zhizi generation. But they have already died on the battlefield, let alone His Majesty. Apart from Gao Zhiping, the only one left is Gao Zhilian. His Majesty is probably worried, and he can only stay here It’s time to choose one of the two.”
