Chapter 47 Candidates
Jiang Sui turned his head and smiled at Gu Fengxian, "When the envoys from Suri go back, call He Yunzhou, and let's go to Tianziwangyuan for a drink together."
Gu Fengxian looked at him quietly, and finally nodded, "Okay."
Jiang Sui has his own ideas about everything, he can persuade, but he can't necessarily ask Jiang Sui to accept, after all, they are no longer children.
The hunt in the afternoon went on as usual, His Majesty was fierce and fierce, and brought everyone back with a full load. The second prince didn't show any face to his master at all. He was more excited in the afternoon than in the morning. When it was time to count their prey, Jiang Sui stood empty-handed. Next to the crowd, watch them lay out their prey one by one.
Those who hunted more were rewarded, and Jiang Sui was seeing who had won the first place when suddenly, a figure appeared beside him, blocking the already slanting sunlight.
The second prince carried a fox that had been dead for a long time, and handed it to Jiang Sui: "I heard that people here like to wear clothes made of foxes, this is for you."
Jiang Sui looked at the dead fox, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "...No need."
The second prince still insisted: "Take it, I think you are afraid of the cold."
Seeing this scene, He Yunzhou's eyes darkened. He walked over quickly and helped Jiang Sui out of the siege and said, "The second prince doesn't know something. Our women like to use fox fur to make scarves and handguards. Men don't need these." .”
The second prince snorted, looked at the fox in his hand, and handed it to He Yunzhou without interest, "Then send it back and continue counting."
He Yunzhou: "..."
He Yunzhou left, and Jiang Sui wanted to follow him, but the second prince held him back, but he just touched the corner of his clothes, but before he touched his body, Jiang Sui already took a big step back reflexively, seeing how vigilant he was, the second prince stopped him. The prince was stunned for a moment, and then he continued to step forward indifferently, "I heard people say that the winter here is very cold here, and the whole land will be covered with heavy snow, and not a single blade of grass will grow for several months."
Jiang Sui's eyes were looking around, he hoped that someone would come to rescue him, but this was outside the palace, all the ministers were inside, only some people who wanted to see the count stood with them, but everyone else was watching the count , No one looked at Jiang Sui.
Even if someone watched, after discovering that the second prince and Jiang Sui had come together, their first reaction was not to step forward, but to prick up their ears and listen to what they were talking about.
……
"It's okay, it's not that exaggerated."
Jiang Sui answered indiscriminately, preparing to wait for the opportunity to leave.
The second prince heard this, and immediately said enthusiastically: "Then you can go to our place! We live in spring and flowers bloom every year. Because of the blessing of the sun, the weather is always warm. At the coldest time, the earth is green. If you go I'm sure you'll love it!"
Jiang Sui: "..."
With a blank face, he replied: "Thank you for the kindness of the second prince, but I am from the Wei Dynasty, and I should love the land of the Wei Dynasty more."
The second prince nodded respectfully, "A real man should love his hometown, I agree."
The subject changed, and he continued: "But it's okay, you can come back after the past, I'll accompany you, how about twice a year?"
Before Jiang Sui could answer, suddenly, two voices, one in front and one in the back, sounded behind the second prince.
Wei Xun dragged him back by the tiger's front legs, followed by a group of Habayashi soldiers, and when he came behind the second prince, he suddenly let go, and half of the tiger's body hit the ground with a bang, causing the ground to tremble.
He squinted his eyes and asked, "Twice a year what?"
Gu Fengxian stood right behind Wei Xun. Unlike Wei Xun dragging the tiger away, he directly carried the wild boar shot to death by his arrow on his shoulders. When he went up the mountain in the afternoon, he roasted and ate the wild boar leg on the spot.
With a bang, Gu Fengxian also threw the wild boar on the ground. He looked at the second prince and asked the same thing, "Twice a year, what?"
Wei Xun and Gu Fengxian, one tall and one short, one cold and strict, one is a decisive emperor and the other is a murderous general.These two people, who usually go out alone, can intimidate a group of people with their eyes. Now that the two swords are combined, they put pressure on the second prince at the same time, and the second prince can't help but want to run away.
The second prince opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He instinctively told him that this was definitely not the time to tell the truth. If he wanted to return to Suri alive, he had better keep his mouth shut.
The second prince sought advantages and avoided disadvantages, turned his head without saying a word, and wanted Jiang Sui to say a few words for him, but there was no shadow of Jiang Sui behind him.
……
In the end, Wei Xun was the winner of the hunt, because he hunted a tiger back at the last moment.Gu Fengxian marched for many days and passed through so many places. What he ate the most was the prey he killed. Naturally, he was not interested in today's hunting at all. He only brought down the wild boar and counted it as his trophy.
Everyone lined up and received the rewards one by one. Jiang Sui, who had slipped away, reappeared out of nowhere, sat in front with a dignified face, and watched everyone who came forward to receive the reward with a smile on his face.
What surprised Jiang Sui was that Zuo Zhiqiu was the one who shot and killed the buck at the critical moment. Wei Xun seemed to have heard the news a long time ago, so he was not surprised at all, and rewarded him with a golden bow and imperial title on the spot. The famous four characters of "both civil and military".
Zuo Zhiqiu accepted it with tears of gratitude on his face, making others envious.
On the way back, he had already received a lot of smiling expressions of favor from adults. As soon as he sat down, the adults around him cupped their hands and congratulated him one after another.
Zuo Zhiqiu finally felt elated, thanking the lost regent, thanking the rampant wild boar and stag, his busy day was not in vain.
Zuo Zhiqiu had a golden bow and an inscription, but General Gu who shot and killed the wild boar did not get these. His rewards were more practical, [-] days off, a year's salary, and the highest level of accommodation and blessing treatment in Changle Temple.
Wei Xun's original words were that the general fought for the country so hard and caused many murders. I am very pleased. Only by letting the abbot of Changle Temple pray and fast for the general in person can he serve the general well. Get the forgiveness of the Buddha.
As for praying for blessings, this is not something that can be done in a day or two. It is best for the general to live in Changle Temple for a few days if he is free, to cleanse his soul with Buddhist scriptures, and then return to the court to continue serving me.
Jiang Sui sat quietly on the side, he listened to Wei Xun's serious nonsense with downcast eyes, wanted to laugh in his heart, but had to hold back on his face.
In the whole world, the ones who are most anxious about Jiang Tiao and Gu Fengxian's affairs are not Jiang Tiao and Gu Fengxian themselves, nor Jiang Sui who has the closest relationship with them, nor Jiang Zhui who lives in the palace, but salty carrots Wei Xun is light and worried.
I don't know what's wrong with Wei Xun. He has always been very tolerant of lovers. Since he succeeded to the throne, he has amended many laws about the relationship between men and women.A few years ago, he bestowed marriages on two noble men and women, but the noble lady had a man she liked and eloped with her sweetheart overnight. After he heard about it, not only did he not blame the two families, he also said that the young lady was very courageous, He withdrew the marriage gift and allowed her to marry her lover.
Of course, everyone found out afterwards that the lady's lover had a total of four confidante, and two of them were mortal women, and one even gave birth to him a child. The lady's parents were almost so angry that they died on the spot. It's rough.
Since then, Wei Xun has developed a memory, and he is determined not to take care of other people's housework anymore. However, after reading the story of Gu Fengxian and Jiang Yuan for so many years, he still inevitably wants to get involved.
Jiang Sui shook his head secretly, and didn't bother to persuade him.
When the sun was setting, the emperor drove back to the palace, and all the courtiers went back to their homes. Jiang Sui and Wei Xun went to the Wuying Hall together. Before entering the door, he looked back. Asked: "What happened to the second prince's leg? He was injured while hunting?"
Jiang Suixin said, it shouldn't be, it was fine when the prey was counted.
Wei Xun opened his arms and let Qin Wangshan take off the outermost robe for him. He replied calmly, "My tiger accidentally tripped him."
Jiang Sui: "..."
A tiger weighs hundreds of catties and is piled up on the ground like a hill. With such a big thing, why don't you show me a trick?
Jiang Sui looked at Wei Xun speechlessly, seriously suspecting that he threw the tiger's body directly on the second prince.
Sometimes Jiang Sui felt that Wei Xun was too mature, but sometimes he felt that Wei Xun was too childish.
Jiang Sui shook his head, not wanting to be familiar with him, he went straight to the side hall, picked up the memorial sent by the left minister and piled it on the table, and quickly looked through it.
After taking off his outer robe, Wei Xun looked a lot thinner, showing all the lines of his body. He followed Jiang Sui step by step, lingered for a while, and then said, "I beat two foxes today. .”
Jiang Sui hummed absently.
He knew, didn't he see it at noon?
Wei Xun continued: "One red and one white."
According to common sense, there will be no foxes near the capital. These foxes were caught by the Imperial Beast Garden from the northwest, bred with great effort, and then thrown into the mountains. Otherwise, Wei Xun would not have such good luck. , Hunting one is the top fur.
Jiang Sui hummed perfunctorily as usual.
Qin Wangshan couldn't bear to look directly at him, so please reply two more words anyway.
Wei Xun was more patient than Qin Wangshan. He continued to ask tentatively, "Then, how about I give these two foxes to Ah Sui, one for a scarf and one for a gauntlet."
Jiang Sui finally raised his head from the memorial, he looked forward, frowned, he turned around suddenly, "How can a man wear a scarf and handguards, he is extremely delicate."
Immediately afterwards, he said: "It's better to make it into a pillowcase. Winter is coming soon, and it's fluffy. It's more comfortable to lie on."
Qin Wangshan who was listening: "..."
What kind of logic is this? It is squeamish to make a scarf, but it is not squeamish to make it into a pillowcase and sleep with it every night? ? ?
But Jiang Sui and Wei Xun didn't think there was anything wrong with this logic, and Wei Xun happily agreed. In his opinion, it didn't matter if Jiang Sui made fox fur into a toilet cover, as long as he accepted it. Because it proved like this???? The team proved that he won.
Jiang Sui didn't know what Wei Xun was thinking, so he picked out a few important memorials, and classified the rest into categories of more important, less important, not at all important, and something to read.After dinner, he was ready to go back. Although it was not dark yet, he thought he could sleep until tomorrow morning.
However, Wei Xun dragged him and refused to let him go, insisting that he could go to bed an hour after dinner, so Jiang Sui could only stay and chat with Wei Xun with energy.
There are only a few topics for Wei Xun to talk about, such as how fun the hunting is today, such as how stupid and straightforward the second prince is.
In Wei Xun's mouth, the second prince is almost useless, from appearance to character, and from character to superstition, everything is not as good as Wei Xun wants.
Especially superstitious about this point, it has reached the point of madness.
Jiang Sui propped his head, and said with half-drowned eyes: "The Sun God Sect is their state religion. Affected by this, he will naturally believe in the sun from the bottom of his heart. Thinking about it carefully, he is no different from the monks in Changle Temple. Aren’t novice monks also three words inseparable from Amitabha, my Buddha’s mercy.”
Wei Xun didn't like to hear him defending the second prince, so he argued, "But monks are not that noisy."
Jiang Sui: "..."
This is true.
Hearing Jiang Sui's rebuttal, Wei Xun immediately struck while the iron was hot, no matter what he wanted to nail the second prince to the pillar of shame of superstition, "evolve the totem belief into a state religion, and root the totem belief in the hearts of the entire royal family. The prince also has this virtue, so his throne is not far from being overthrown."
Speaking of this, he raised his chin and pointed to the east: "Isn't Dongliu a good example."
In this era, everyone pursues spiritual beliefs. Every country has a national religion. Suri believes in the Sun God Religion, while Dongliu believes in a more mysterious religion. Different, only a small number of people in Dongliu believe in those, and these small number of people are the group of people who hold power.
Dongliu's former emperor was a fanatic. According to Dongliu's rules, each emperor was assigned a priest and a priestess. The priests and priestesses served the gods in the palace and never married.But in the generation of the former emperor, he moved the entire divine religion into the palace. The number of priests and goddesses was more than his wife and son combined. The palace was full of smog and scandals all day long.
Now the former emperor is dead, and the religion has moved out of the palace, but the new priests and goddesses are still there. Obviously, the new emperor, like the previous emperor, is also a believer in this religion.
Wei Xun respected his two opponents, but this did not prevent him from despising some of their actions.
Jiang Sui didn't understand why he was so upright, "But, isn't there a national teacher living in our altar?"
"That's different."
"What's the difference?"
Wei Xun replied: "The national teacher works for me, not I for the national teacher. The national teacher in the Wei Dynasty has only one purpose, which is to stabilize the hearts of the people. I don't believe him, let alone take his orders as oracles. "
Hearing this, Jiang Sui's eyes drifted for a moment.
He said thoughtfully: "In fact, our national teacher doesn't seem to be the golden and jade appearance that everyone imagined..."
Wei Xun was puzzled: "What does Ah Sui mean by that?"
Thinking of Hanlu's triple peach blossom order, Jiang Sui was silent, and laughed, "It's nothing, it's getting late, I should go back, and your majesty should go to bed early."
It was getting dark, Wei Xun took a look outside, didn't stop him, just stood up with him, and added, "I've already thought about the marriage."
Jiang Sui turned his head, blinked his eyes lightly, and waited for his next words.
Wei Xun didn't make him wait too long, "I've decided to promise them."
Jiang Sui was not surprised by the answer, he stood up straight, "Who is the candidate?"
"Brew good."
Another unsurprising answer, Jiang Sui sighed in his heart, nodded, "Your Majesty is wise."
Wei Xun is the emperor, he is free to decide anything, but after staring at Jiang Sui's face for a while, without seeing any emotion, he still couldn't help explaining, "This is the result of my many considerations. , has nothing to do with selfishness."
So, he wasn't intentionally taking revenge on Ning Shan.
Jiang Sui frowned, "I know."
Although Wei Xun is sometimes impulsive and naive, he is a person who knows the big things right and wrong. On this kind of issue, he will not make hasty decisions.
He chose Nongshan, because Nongshan is the best candidate.
When he realized that Jiang Sui really didn't blame him, Wei Xun's heart relaxed. As long as Jiang Sui didn't object, other people's opinions were not considered opinions.
The eldest princess and Niang Shan did not participate in the hunting, they stayed in the mansion all the time, and they never went to the palace banquet or other occasions later.Every day, the Eldest Princess lived in torment, but the scene she least wanted to see happened.
The eunuch who delivered the decree came to the eldest princess's mansion and called on him to let Niang Shan enter the palace. The eldest princess was about to faint when her eyes were dark, and Yong Shan hurriedly supported her. The eldest princess was trembling and wanted to go with her, but the eunuch stopped her.
Even if she fled overnight with Dongliu's jade seal, the eldest princess was never so afraid. Finally, she waited until Yongshan came back and learned the emperor's intentions.
Wei Xun called Nongshan into the palace, and personally explained to her that he wanted her to marry him. Because Nongshan did not have enough status, he would first adopt Nongshan from the name of the eldest princess to the old emperor. Therefore, Yong Shan's status is a princess, and Su Ri has said that married couples can choose their husbands at will. Wei Xun's answer to this is that he hopes that Yong Shan can marry Su Ri's prince and become their future queen.
Wei Xun talked with Yongshan for a long time. For nearly an hour, he explained the stakes in it, and what Yongshan would gain and what he would lose. In a word.
He never asked if Niang Shan would like to go.
These things should have been told by Wei Xun to the Eldest Princess, and then by the Eldest Princess to inform Yongshan, but Wei Xun directly passed the Eldest Princess, which is blatantly ignoring her existence.
After Yongshan came back, her mood was very calm. She seemed to accept this matter easily. The eldest princess wondered if she understood what adoption meant. This meant that she would have no relationship with her biological mother in the future. From now on, Nong Shan can only call her aunt, and if the eldest princess dies, Nong Shan will not be able to mourn for her when she comes back, so she can only offer a stick of incense for her as a niece.
The eldest princess couldn't accept this, she almost ran out of the door, for the first time in her life, kneeling in front of Wei Xun, begging him to take back his life, even though Wei Xun refused her, she still didn't want to get up.She gave up the principles of life she had always adhered to, and contradicted the emperor again and again, but no matter what she said, Wei Xun would not agree to her, and in the end, she could only leave in a daze.
Walking out of the Hall of Martial Arts, on the way, she thought of another person who could save her daughter. Regardless of the rules, she came to Wenhua Hall and asked to see the regent, but this time she was asked to leave without even seeing the regent here.
Standing by the window, Jiang Sui watched the Eldest Princess force herself to remain calm, and kept asking the maids outside the door in gentle voices. After getting negative answers again and again, she still forced herself to smile, maintaining her last bit of demeanor as a princess. Jiang Sui Looking at these calmly, he returned to the desk with a calm expression after she left.
If Wei Xun had been here, he would have noticed that Jiang Sui's expression now was the same as that day when he repeated the princess's words, the same indifference and indifference.
He will not be slandered by the eldest princess's cold words, and naturally he will not be infected by the eldest princess's sorrow and sorrow. Human life is full of ups and downs, and the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of others have nothing to do with him.
The author has something to say: Jiang Sui will definitely not be a soft-hearted person if he can be the regent. The difference between him and Wei Xun is that he is not so radical, and he manages with iron blood at every turn. He is a moderate, but gentleness does not mean kindness
The character design has not collapsed, really, he has this character from the beginning, but there is no accident before, so he can't show this aspect of him, people have many faces, Jiang Sui is a person who should be gentle when he should be gentle, and who should be cold-blooded when he should be cold-blooded, His choice has always been clear, just like when he gave up Wei Xun in the future, he was not ambiguous at all (no
Don't worry, the ending of Niangshan is still very good. After all, I am the author of a sweet article, and I can't let the little girl be wronged in the article
