Chapter 9 Promotion

In the early morning, when the sun had just risen, all civil and military officials came to participate in the morning court. The emperor was sitting in the main hall, and all civil and military officials were waiting.

Only one eunuch shouted: "Xuan Zhuwei, the great general, is here." Lin Zixian, dressed in an official uniform, came to the hall with light steps, refreshed and refreshed.

Kneeling down, "See Your Majesty", "Ai Qing, please rise, the generals of the guards have made outstanding achievements in this border battle, and they have managed the army well. Our army has won a complete victory. I have been promoted to the loyal general and given the title of Xibohou. Give ten thousand taels of gold, this is it."

"Thank you Lord Long En", other meritorious generals were promoted one by one, and also received generous rewards. Jiang Sijun was also promoted to be the left servant of the Ministry of Officials this time.

After the canonization ceremony, the emperor summoned King Yongning. He wanted to betroth Princess Kangping to Lin Zixian. King Yongning knew that the emperor feared that the Lin family would hold the world's soldiers and horses. It is most appropriate to have a noble status and no real power.

King Yongning said: "Thank you, brother, for remembering me, for finding such a good match for my son, I thank you for Qing'er."

"The imperial brothers are all from my own family. I see that Lin Zixian is both intelligent and courageous, with outstanding achievements. He is a good man of my country and a good husband. The two of you are the most suitable marriage.

Qing'er was in poor health when she was a child, but now she is healthy, slim, talented and beautiful, but no one outside has seen it, so there are some bad rumors. "

"Brother Huang, I wonder if the Lin family will listen to the rumors and refuse to marry my son", "You don't have to worry about this, I will figure out a way." "Thank you, Brother Huang, for your hard work."

The emperor's daughters are all married, and there is really no more suitable candidate, only Princess Kangping has a high status, but the rumors are not good, saying that she is a sick child, and her words are scary. I don't know if the Lin family will agree to this marriage.

Afterwards, the emperor summoned Lin Qiwei, Lord of the Town, to discuss Lin Zixian's marriage with him. Lin's father was still a little reluctant, but it was not easy to refuse in person. The emperor saw his concerns, and said to let him go home son Discuss, look at the child's opinion, make a decision, agree and give a marriage.

After returning home, the whole family discussed it, and felt that Princess Kangping was honorable, and it was a good marriage, but this Princess Kangping didn't know what kind of temperament, whether she was really in poor health as rumored outside, Only meet to make a decision.

In the evening, Jiang Sijun hosted a banquet in the restaurant to entertain his friend Lin Zixian, to welcome him. The last time we said goodbye, we hadn't seen each other for several years. When we met, we felt like we were in love with each other.

Lin Zixian came up and slapped Jiang Sijun on the chest, and said with a smile: "Brother Si Jun, long time no see, do you miss me?"

Jiang Sijun replied: "It's not just that I miss you. All the girls in the capital are thinking about you and want to marry you. Brother Zixian, I am very relieved to see you come back safely this time. In exchange for a few years of peace on the frontier, I thank you on behalf of the people of the world, you are truly a hero!"

"Brother Si Jun, you still haven't changed at all. You are still so serious. You always think about the country. Yes, if you continue to develop like this, you are indeed a prime minister. Even going out for a meal is like going to court. Can you survive? Take it easy, but since everyone in the imperial court is like you, our country must be rich and strong, and no one will invade."

"Brother Zixian was joking," "Brother Si Jun, I heard that you can cancel your engagement when I come back this time. Congratulations, you finally got your wish!"

Jiang Sijun was not overjoyed, but said in a low voice: "There is nothing to congratulate."

Lin Zixian looked at him in surprise and said, "Why, I'm leaving this time, and your temperament has changed. You're an unfeminine talent, but it's impossible to fall in love with this Miss Liu. Didn't you dream of canceling your engagement before? Who As long as you mention your marriage, you will definitely get angry. Now that you have grown up, you want to get married."

Jiang Sijun said, "Stop making fun of me, tell me how you are?
I heard that the emperor is going to give you a marriage. Is the other party Princess Kangping? "

"You also know about this. Everyone said that she is not in good health. I don't know if she is in good health now. The status of princess is very honorable. My parents think that the family background is fine, but they are afraid that they will not be able to carry on the Lin family's lineage because of poor health.

For me, I don't care if she is healthy or not, but I hate this kind of marriage the most. If I can't be happy with each other, I will marry someone I don't love, and my life will be miserable!

I want to marry someone I like to be my wife. Brother Si Jun, didn’t you also suffer from it? Why have you figured it out now? Didn’t you also want to cancel the engagement before? "

In my opinion, why don't you marry this Princess Kangping? She is worse than Situ Feng anyway. Didn't she do everything possible to marry you?
That girl is very unruly and willful, messing around all day long, she is not as good as this Princess Kangping, she is soft and weak, she must be very quiet, it is just right for you, a deserted person, this can be regarded as helping my brother and me. "

Jiang Sijun shook his head and said with a smile: "That can't be done. If you refuse, what if the emperor gives her to me? You must marry her. This time you are the one to help me."

"Tomorrow, Situ's house will hold a banquet. I heard that she will also be there. I will meet her and see what she looks like. Maybe she is a beautiful woman. Don't regret it then!"

"Don't worry, I won't regret it, I won't snatch it from you."

The two men quarreled as soon as they met. The two of them were civil and military, and they were righteous and righteous, and they were the pillars of the country.Jiang Sijun was not rigid, but he was indifferent to women.

Although the two did not meet each other very often, they only played together when they were young, but they hit each other very well, and their friendship was deep. Lin Zixian has been leading troops to fight in the past few years, and he is no longer the shy young man he was back then. Jiang Sijun worked hard. Diligent, well-read, talented, they are now worthy of great responsibilities, and they are people who are valued by the emperor. In the future, these two people must have a bright future.

Speaking of tomorrow's banquet, Jiang Sijun would never have thought of going there if he didn't want to find out the whereabouts of the paintings. He always looked down on the style of the Situ family, let alone his daughter. Regarding the matter in Lingxiang Pavilion, if there was a different woman, Jiang Sijun might really have a dead heart!

Unexpectedly, by mistake, it led to his marriage. Perhaps some things were arranged by the heavens, and the fate was predestined, and no one could change it.

Although Lin Zixian said on the surface that he didn't care, he was also worried that his significant other was not what he wanted. Who wouldn't want to marry someone they like as a wife!So tomorrow's meeting is also very apprehensive.I didn't expect that I would be married to such a woman, but there is still room for maneuver in this matter, because the emperor didn't directly decree that if he really didn't want to, he didn't force him to marry.It's much easier to think about it this way.
