Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 102

"Escape from marriage?"

After hearing Ying Wu's words, the originally lively Nuan Pavilion suddenly became completely silent. Everyone's eyes turned to Ying Wu, with a shocked expression on their faces. Even Marshal Qin Zheng and Deputy Marshal, who had always been very calm, were shocked by the news. I was so surprised that I dropped the chopsticks on the table.

"Impossible!" Xue Ruitian was the first to react, and categorically denied Ying Wu's statement, "Zhao Yu and that boy, didn't they like the princess to death? Didn't they not marry the princess? When His Majesty bestowed the marriage, the old prince was He was extremely unhappy, and refused many times because his family was a king with a different surname, and he was already very attractive. If he were to be a princess and married to the royal family, it would be even more enviable. Even if this princess is not The empress dowager was born in person, and she was recognized from the outside, so it is the same in the eyes of outsiders. Later, their family will be charged with a crime of high meritorious deeds and so on. Zhao Yuhe heard that his father resigned, so what? The whole mansion would not be able to live in peace if it was a reluctance and turmoil. I wish the whole city knew about it. The old prince was so troubled that he had no choice but to go to the palace to ask the Queen Mother for help. Finally, under the persuasion and consolation of the Queen Mother, he agreed. This marriage." Xue Ruitian took the note from Shen Cha, looked at the message written by Song Jue on it, and still didn't believe it was true, "This kid has been tossing about for several months. I heard that in order to force him to Dad agrees, but he actually went on a hunger strike, why... ran away?"

"According to the information provided by His Majesty, Zhao Yu and the young master were found to have left Xijing three days ago. The commander asked the guards around him. The guards said that since the marriage was given, the third young master's spirit was not very good. In the dream, he said that if he married the princess, he would go to the north to join the army. When he woke up from the dream, he refused to admit that he had said this." Shen Cha sighed, "So, Your Majesty thinks, It is very likely that he came in the direction of Jiaping Pass, so I hope we can send someone to look for it. After finding it, send it back to Xijing immediately."

"The question now is not where the third son is, but what about the wedding?" Yan Bo frowned tightly, "The good news has already spread, and the missions from all over the world are about to arrive, should it be cancelled? If we really want to reach this point, our Great Xia will become a joke in the eyes of all countries!"

"Don't worry, it won't be a joke. The second son Zhao Yinhe went to the palace to ask His Majesty and the Empress Dowager to agree to marry the princess instead of his younger brother. My younger brother doesn't want to be a son-in-law. If he is willing, he will be good and wholehearted. To the princess. After asking the princess what she thinks, His Majesty discussed with the Queen Mother and agreed to the request of the second son. Therefore, the wedding will be held as usual, but the groom will be replaced."

Shen Cha rubbed his forehead, thinking that these were some messy things, he finally solved the trouble of Liao and Jin's secret work, and settled the matter of His Majesty the Emperor sneaking out of Beijing, and then Master and Yan Bo also talked with each other. Well, I thought I could celebrate the New Year with peace of mind, but I didn't expect such a mess to happen again.These aristocratic children in Xijing are really troublesome. They are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they are all good at making trouble.

"Zhao Yu and this bastard usually look quite honest and silent, like a reliable person. Unexpectedly, he is also a fool!" Song Qiyun said to Shen Jiu bitterly, "Since he I don't want to marry the imperial sister, so what did I do long ago? I should have obeyed the old prince's wishes and rejected this marriage. It's not that my imperial sister is ugly, and it's not that no one likes her. The capital has circled the capital more than ten times, but it is only because the sister Huang has taken a fancy to him, so the brother Huang reluctantly agrees, otherwise, where would it be his turn!"

"That's right!" Shen Jiu also said indignantly, "Brother Xiaoyun, don't worry, if he dares to come to our place, I'll beat him up for you, no, twice, no, Beat him until he can't even recognize his own mother, beat us until we get angry like this!"

"It's the best wine, the most distressed me!" Song Qiyun reached out and grabbed Shen Jiu, kissed, "Let's not beat him, he hurts him, he is not going to come to the army. What do you mean that life is worse than death, and when the time comes, ask him if he regrets doing this stupid thing!"

"My brother is right, he is not worthy of our actions." Xia Jiu was also very upset, he was so angry that he almost kicked the small table in front of him, "I will borrow some shadows from Sister Xiaocha later, Clean him up well and teach him how to be a person who keeps his word!"

Listening to the discussions of his younger brothers, Shen Cha shook his head helplessly. These guys grew up in military camps and fought on the battlefield at a young age. They are all passionate and violent guys. Everything must be settled by force.

"Ying Wu!" Shen Cha waved at Ying Wu, "Looking for a portrait of the third son from the military division, and sending someone to distribute it to the brothers in the north, so that once they see this man, they will take it immediately!" Said After finishing, she looked at Jin Jing again, "Military division, you have worked hard!"

"No hard work, no hard work, it's just a portrait!" Jin Jing waved her hand, "But don't you think this is weird?"

"The military division also feels the same?" Shen Haolin and Shen Cha said in unison.

"I said..." Jin Jing looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha helplessly, "Do you two have such a tacit understanding?"

"Isn't this normal?" Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows, "The two grew up together, and they live together until now. The tacit understanding has penetrated into the bones."

"What the deputy commander-in-chief said is that they are congenial!" Jin Jing nodded in agreement, "Speaking of which, we have all met the third son of Prince Yihe's family. He is a pure literati. I can't carry a load on my shoulders or carry a basket with my hands. I feel like I will fall if I touch him. During that palace banquet, I stayed with Prince Jardine all the time, and I didn't talk to anyone who attended the banquet. Say hello to him , he just smiled."

"It's not that he doesn't talk, it's that he's timid and doesn't want to get in touch with strangers." Xue Ruitian read Song Jue's note and burned it in a charcoal basin. "It turns out that there has always been a rumor in Xijing that he arrived Now he dares not sleep alone, he must be accompanied by a servant or a girl, and candles must be lit in the room. Otherwise, he will not be able to sleep, staring at his eyes until dawn."

"Why?" Shen Cha frowned, "What's wrong?"

"It is said that when he was very young, he was frightened by a black cat when he went out to play at night. Since then, he has fallen into such a problem."

"Been scared by cats?" Shen Cha curled her lips, with a look of disgust on her face, "This is less courageous than soybeans! After I came back, I told my brother about the palace banquet mentioned by the military adviser, and Prince Yihe was also the same. A general, how did he raise such a helpless son, apart from that face that looks good enough to see through, there is no merit in any part of his body." Shen Cha touched Touching his chin, "Such a pretty boy has the guts to run away from a marriage, and even run away from a royal marriage. No matter how I think about it, I don't think it's right." Shen Cha squinted his eyes, thought for a while, and then said, "If I didn't If I remember correctly, the second son who is planning to marry the princess and the third son should be twins, right?"

"Yes!" Shen Haolin nodded, "The two people's looks are basically the same. The family members are fine, but it's not easy for outsiders to distinguish them. Therefore, the two of them seldom appear on the same occasion at the same time. When Yinhe is there, Yu He will definitely not be there, and Yinhe will definitely not go where Yuhe appears. However, although the two people look the same, their personalities are completely different. The second son likes to be lively, while the third son is very quiet. "

"When you said that, I remembered." Xue Ruitian grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and started to chew, "I once heard the old prince complain about his third son, saying that he didn't know who he looked like. He's very shy, he's even more beautiful than the ladies in Xijing, he doesn't have any important matters, he doesn't leave the house all day long, and he can count on his fingers the number of times he goes out throughout the year."

"So, I was wondering if there is such a possibility." Shen Cha opened his mouth to eat the grapes that Shen Haolin fed to his mouth, and said, "From the very beginning, this was a misunderstanding. The people who met, knew, and loved the princess were totally different. It's not the third son, but the second son who is righteous and awe-inspiring to replace his younger brother in marrying a wife. I think it should be because the princess herself recognized the wrong person, and the second son will also make mistakes, and finally made such a big oolong."

"It's not impossible." Shen Haolin nodded, "The third son doesn't go out very often, and it's not easy to meet the princess by chance. On the contrary, the second son who runs out every day has many opportunities. But why didn't they make it clear at the beginning How about it? To be clear, it wouldn't be like this, right?" Shen Haolin looked at Xue Ruitian, "The old prince intends to pass the throne to the second son?"

"How is it possible? When the eldest son was three years old, he invited him to be the crown prince. For so many years, he has also cultivated the crown prince as his heir."

"The prince wants to separate the second son." Qin Zheng said suddenly, "It's not an ordinary family division, but a separate family. He always thinks that the Prince Yihe's mansion is too eye-catching. If the second son is separated, Things will be better than they are now.”

"So that's the case!" Shen Haolin nodded, "If the second son married the princess, he would be considered a member of the royal family, and the old prince would not be able to carry out his own plans. As he himself said, getting married to the royal family is even more embarrassing. People are jealous."

"Hey, whether you are jealous or not is a matter for the future, let's focus on the present! Since the princess agrees to marry the second son, it means that the two of them have already talked about it. But why did your majesty send this news? ? Just let us find someone?"

"Maybe His Majesty doesn't know, or maybe..." Shen Cha sighed and shook his head lightly, "What we said just now are all our speculations, and only they know what's going on." Shen Cha Cha looked at Ying Wu standing behind him, "Anyway, find him first, and send him back to Xijing safely, otherwise, the old prince will have a hard time this year."

"Yes!"
