Seeing Nie Chen and others leaving arrogantly, Sima Nan secretly gritted his teeth until they were almost broken.
On the side, Young Master Zheng was still covering his legs and screaming.
Sima Nan's eyes were sinister, he turned to look at Young Master Zheng and said,
"Brother Zheng, don't worry. These kings, these county guards and warlords will not be around for long. When the court regains power in the future, we will definitely be able to trample all these arrogant and domineering local forces under our feet. !”
…
Nie Chen and others took a carriage and found a restaurant. They ate there and then walked around the capital for an afternoon. They bought a lot of clothes and daily necessities for Li Ze and his daughter, and also gave them to Weng Qiuchan. I also bought some jewelry and rouge and gouache.
Seeing the high pile of things on the carriage, Nie Chen smiled and said to Weng Qiuchan,
"These things are enough for you to use for several years, right?"
Weng Qiuchan rolled her eyes and said,
"Pull it down, you really think I bought it for myself. With so many counselors, commanders, and generals under your command, don't you have to take care of their families? When I come to the capital, I'm not allowed to bring some gifts back to them. Give it to the women?"
Hearing this, Nie Chen felt great admiration, and then said doubtfully,
"But most of our people are bachelors."
Weng Qiuchan turned her head away with a guilty conscience and said bravely,
"If you haven't got a family now, you won't get one in the future? If you marry a wife yourself, a well-fed man doesn't know how hungry a man is when he's hungry, but he's still single.
As the lord, shouldn't you worry about the life-long affairs of your soldiers? Do you think that if someone sacrifices his life for you, then he deserves to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?
We are also men, we also want to marry a wife, start a family and start a business, and carry on the family line. "
"Okay, okay, don't say I'm wrong, okay? I'll leave this matter to you. Find more beautiful women of the right age, organize a blind date meeting, and let the generals go and have a look. As long as both parties can communicate with each other, If you like it, it will be fine.
Zhou Ping, Ouyang and the others haven't gotten married yet, so they have to make arrangements. After all, they are not too young. "
Hearing this, Ouyang Ming smiled and said,
"There's no hurry, there's no need to worry about my marriage, my lord."
"Oh? Do you already have someone you like?"
"That's not true. It's just that if I want to marry a wife, I must find a gentle, kind-hearted woman with similar interests. After all, I want to be with her for life. I don't want to face my wife and have nothing to say all day long. explain."
Weng Qiuchan said with a smile,
"That's difficult. You have to be gentle and virtuous, and you also have to read poetry and books. It's hard to find such a woman in Weihu County. You have to find a daughter from a wealthy family in the capital."
Then, she suddenly looked at Li Lian and said with a smile,
"Alian, how old are you this year? You haven't gotten married yet, have you?"
"I...I am already twenty this year, but because my family is poor and cannot afford a dowry, and since I left, there is no one to take care of my father, so I have never been engaged in marriage..."
"Then you are blessed. We have a lot of capable people and wise men in Weihu County, and there are countless outstanding men. You will definitely be able to find a husband you like.
When the time comes, tell me who you like, and I will arrange a meeting for you. "
Hearing this, Li Lian couldn't help but look up at Lin Guang, then quickly lowered her head and whispered,
"Thank you ma'am."
Nie Chen saw her look, then turned to Lin Guang and smiled,
"Old Lin, do you want a wife or not? As long as you ask, I will tie up Miss Li Lian and send it to you."
Lin Guang immediately blushed and said in embarrassment,
"Master, don't be ridiculous, we are not bandits, how can we still kidnap people?"
"Hahaha……"
In the midst of laughter and laughter, everyone returned to Prince Pingxi's Mansion.
The next period of time could be described as calm and uneventful.
The son of the left prime minister raped a civilian girl, but Nie Chen, the governor of Weihu County, broke his legs and taught him a lesson. This incident soon spread throughout the capital.
While everyone clapped their hands and applauded, some people from Zuo Xiangfu also stood up and said that their son went to collect debts and was beaten by the arrogant and domineering Governor Nie. They were also wronged.
But thanks to the fact that the left prime minister's son was very conscientious in his daily life, bullying men and dominating women, the people had long been aware of his character, and no one listened to his explanation.
At the same time, the people were also very sorry that such a good county chief had offended the left prime minister and would not get any good results.
People were all eagerly waiting to see how Zuo Xiang would take revenge on Master Nie. However, they waited and waited, but they did not wait for Zuo Xiang's revenge. Instead, they waited for the other three kings.
King Pingxi was the first one to come, and he also set a good example for the other three kings. He led his troops directly to the outside of the capital.
The other three kings also followed suit and rushed over with their soldiers and horses.
King Andong and King Jingshan each brought 20,000 soldiers and horses. Like King Pingxi, they were regarded as the escort soldiers and horses brought by the princes during their normal travels.
If these two kings are normal, then Zhennan King is outrageous.
He brought over eighty thousand people.
Eighty thousand!
The vassal king entered the capital with an army of 80,000 people. If he said that he was not here to rebel, no one would believe him.
On the day King Zhennan entered the capital, King Jingshan, who had already entered the city, packed his bags and ran to the military camp outside his city overnight, where he was ready to prepare. King Andong, who had not yet arrived, stopped moving forward and did not move forward at all. He had no intention of entering the city with King Zhennan.
After all, everyone knows that King Anton and King Zhennan cannot deal with each other. They have been fighting large and small wars for many years, and neither can help the other.
When King Zhennan came with his army, others would think they were coming for the emperor, but King Anton would think they were coming for himself.
He planned to see what happened to King Zhennan first, and then decide whether to enter the city or not.
When King Zhennan's 80,000 troops entered the capital, not only the other three kings were nervous, but the most nervous one was the royal family.
The royal family immediately mobilized the only 20,000 troops, all of them mounted on the city wall, and were on guard day and night, for fear that King Zhennan would take the opportunity to attack the city.
King Andong and King Jingshan had different reactions. On the contrary, Prince Pingxi's palace was still as stable as Mount Tai, without any chaos.
Everyone gathered in the lobby of Prince Pingxi's Mansion. When they heard that King Zhennan was coming with an army of 80,000, and when King Andong and King Jingshan reacted, Ouyang Ming laughed loudly and said,
“This King of Zhennan is just as I expected, he is cunning and cunning, and only does some sneaky things.
Now that the four kings are gathering, all the eyes of the world are focused on the capital. Give him ten courages. Will he dare to attack the city at this time?
The other three kings all led 20,000 troops as guards, but he had to lead 80,000 troops.
What for? Don't you just want to show off his power and let the world see how powerful he is?
What a joke. "
