The rise of the prince

Chapter 808
July is approaching gradually, buildings stand tall, and the colorful Shangjing is in a state of jubilation.

The news arrived a few days ago, when the morning dew was still there, just as the South Gate official opened the door to sprinkle water to avoid dust, several fast horses with red flags on their backs galloped all the way, and it is said that they almost trampled to death the cursing city gate official.

Fortunately, there were few people on the road at that time, and no one stopped along the way.

In the evening, the news came out that the emperor's grandson Li Xingzhou's army broke through Shanhaiguan, beheaded the guards of Shanhaiguan, and defeated the Jinren's hundred battalions in Shanhaiguan!
The news made many people astonished, and then excitedly ran around to tell the news to their relatives and friends.Naturally, there are also people who have nothing to do with themselves, and some people are full of doubts.

On the next day, the news was released from the palace, Kaiyuan Mansion released official documents, and the curfew was lifted in the next three days. The emperor would personally preside over the celebration ceremony and celebrate victory for the emperor's grandson on the street in front of Donghuamen. The news finally came true.

For a while, the whole Kaiyuan was boiling, and the news quickly spread across the north and south of the river at an extremely fast speed.
In the palace, the eunuchs and maids were busy cleaning every corner. It was rare for the emperor to call Prince Kang, prince Li Yu, Princess Yongming, grandson Li Yu and other royal family and nobles into the palace, saying that he wanted a family meal.

I heard that half a month ago, the emperor was suffering from cold and cold, and couldn't eat anything. He forced himself to eat a few spoonfuls of light porridge every day, and gradually lost weight, even to the point where he couldn't go to court.

The ministers of the DPRK and China were very worried. They did not expect that the report of the great victory of the emperor's grandson in Shanhaiguan came three days ago. The emperor laughed when he heard about it. Enough.

The people in the palace all said that the ancestor Joy appeared and protected the emperor. The emperor was very happy when he heard this, and then he felt that he would call the royal family into the palace.

During the banquet, the emperor's face was flushed, and he was still unsmiling, but everyone could tell that he was in a good mood, and even his words were not so cold.

Princess Yongming sat next to Prince Kang, and when the prince was in the seat, she also sat in front.

This kind of family banquet is not as serious as a state banquet or a court meeting, except for a few elders sitting on the top table, and the juniors can sit at will. order.

She heard the emperor asking how the princes and princesses are doing and what they are doing. The people in front of them answered very well, generally speaking very well, doing some interesting things, and the younger princesses are probably being spoiled. I'm not very sensible, and I'm still talking to the emperor about trivial matters, who in the husband's family treats her badly, and what's not satisfactory, she still treats herself like a child, so naturally it's not pleasing.

But the emperor was not angry, just listened, listening to them one by one, it seems that the emperor is really in a good mood today.

Princess Yongming listened absent-mindedly. Shanhaiguan was a great victory, but she didn't hear any news about Di Zhi. The first time she heard about the victory, she asked her grandfather about it, but there was still no news, and nothing was mentioned in the victory report.

She was very disappointed, and Prince Kang was very disappointed. Kang Wang's loss was because Di Zhi was not included in the victory report, which meant that his son-in-law did not have the credit for the Shanhaiguan victory, at least not a great one.

Princess Yongming didn't know Di Zhi's situation because he was lost. He walked quietly, said little, like a wooden head, and had a kind of undying loyalty to his nephew Li Xingzhou. If it was an emergency, he would definitely He didn't frown even if he died for Huang Taisun.

In the past, he always didn't agree with me, and I always scolded him. I wanted to scold him for being stupid but dared not speak out. After all, in this world, loyalty is the greatest virtue. How dare a daughter like her speak up indiscriminately.

But I always feel uncomfortable in my heart, and I can't express it.

After he left without making a sound, she finally realized that she was jealous of his loyalty to the emperor's grandson and that he was not afraid of death for the emperor's grandson.

Obviously, I am the one who is engaged to him, and I am his wife!

Grievance, concern, and longing are as soft as silk, invisible, always lingering in her heart, involving her, the girl's melancholy is always cut, and the reason is still chaotic.
At this moment, he faintly heard the emperor say his name, and quickly pulled himself together, it turned out that the emperor spoke one by one, and it was his turn.

"I heard that Yongming is engaged. As an uncle, I am so busy with state affairs that I even forgot to ask about my niece's marriage."

"You don't have to say that, Brother Huang. I still have a good sense of people, and I found him a good husband." Kang Wang answered while chewing something, which is not polite to ordinary people, let alone the emperor.

But if it's Prince Kang, then ignore it.

The emperor said: "Maybe, let me tell you, which young talent you are looking for."

"Haha, it's Xingzhou's number one favorite, named Di Zhi." King Kang said proudly.

The emperor thought for a while, and then said: "I remember this person, he was born in the army, and he was a small capital of the imperial army when he rescued him, and I personally promoted him.

Later, Xingzhou also mentioned it to me many times, saying that he was brave and good at fighting, he was talented as a general, and he also made great achievements in breaking the Yanshan Mansion. "

"Yes, that's the person. I didn't expect Brother Huang to know him."

The emperor nodded: "This person is indeed capable, but his background is inevitable." He frowned as he spoke.

Seeing this, Princess Yongming was inexplicably flustered and raised his throat.

"Excellent ability is desirable, but what about character?" the emperor asked again.

Before King Kang could open his mouth, Princess Yongming couldn't bear it, and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, he has a very good personality, never gets angry, loyal to the emperor's grandson, and has no bad habits in his daily life. He is an excellent person."

It wasn't until she finished speaking that she realized what she had done, and her face turned red.

Prince Kang laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, look, brother, you understand now, it's not just me who has taken a fancy to him,"

The corners of the emperor's mouth curled up slightly, and he smiled: "Since it is the person Yong Ming likes, I will not force it. Besides, although Di Zhi came from a humble background, he has made great contributions to saving me and the country. Even Xingzhou praises him." People who can't stop talking are naturally not bad.

Prince Kang laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, look, brother, you understand now, it's not just me who has taken a fancy to him,"

The corners of the emperor's mouth curled up slightly, and he smiled: "Since it is the person Yong Ming likes, I will not force it. Besides, although Di Zhi came from a humble background, he has made great contributions to saving me and the country. Even Xingzhou praises him." People who can't stop talking are naturally not bad.

I'm just asking as an elder, not trying to snatch your wishful husband, so don't be nervous. "

These Yongming princesses blushed even more, feeling ashamed to face others, they quickly bowed their heads and did not speak.

"I remember it when you said that, but it seems that Di Zhi's merits were not mentioned in this victory report." The emperor said, and then said: "But he is still young, and there will be opportunities in the future, as long as he is loyal. "

"Yes, yes, I guess it's hard work. After all, Di Zhi is helping Xingzhou to lead the navy. Naturally, the navy will follow most of the land and water in the war. It is the most important thing to be responsible for supervising the transportation." Prince Kang hurriedly replaced his son-in-law smooth things over.

The emperor didn't answer, looked at all the children and grandchildren, and said with emotion: "If any of you can have half the ability of Xingzhou, I don't need to worry about my Li family."

"Brother, you have worked hard"
