After fleeing famine, I rely on space to raise cubs

Chapter 217 Sun Xuelin

Sun Xuelin is a middle-aged man over half a century old. He has a tall and straight figure, and looks imposing from a distance. I don’t know if it’s because he is often outside. His complexion is as blue and black as iron, his eyes are piercing, and his palms are full of calluses. , especially the palm at the tiger's mouth, one can tell at a glance that it is because he often holds a spear.

He walked vigorously and stood on top of the hall, which was a little more chic than a civil servant.

"The old minister sees the emperor."

Sun Xuelin knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, the emperor is still wonderful."

Emperor Liang Xuan laughed loudly when he saw Sun Xuelin, "Get up quickly, General Sun doesn't need to be polite, I haven't seen you for many years, you are the same as before, nothing has changed."

Sun Xuelin got up and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, who is ninety-five years old, is at the same level as the sky, and he will live the same life as the sky. The old minister is just in the honor of the emperor and dare not have any expectations. But the emperor said that the old minister has not changed. The old minister is grateful." Endless."

Emperor Liang Xuan laughed again, pointed at Sun Xuelin and said, "You old guy, you really don't make people at all. To say you haven't changed is just to praise you."

Li Yuanxiang next to him smiled and said: "General Sun is indeed the same as before, but I don't know if his martial arts have regressed?"

Sun Xuelin said loudly: "The Dirong tribe has not invaded in six years, and even the old minister brought a letter from the leader of the Kacha tribe, the largest tribe of the Dirong tribe, to present to the emperor."

Sun Xuelin presented the letter, and after Emperor Liang Xuan read it, he patted his thigh and said: "Okay, okay, great, the Kacha tribe is the largest tribe of the Dirong tribe, with a population of more than [-] people. My prince Ma Dan is coming to Daliang to pay tribute, I am really happy with the gift list above."

Emperor Liang Xuan handed the gift list to Eunuch Sun, who sang loudly: "One thousand yaks, two thousand sheep, five hundred wolf skins, five hundred fox skins, one hundred iron wares and one hundred jade wares, and countless gold wares. Silver jewelry."

When the ministers heard this, they all knelt down and said, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor."

Li Yuanxiang was very excited when he came out, "The Dirong tribe has been paying tribute ten years ago. Later, because of the Tengger tribe of the Dirong tribe, there was a fight with Daliang for nearly six years before it stopped. Now the Kacha tribe can Be the first to pay tribute, and the rest of the tribe will have nothing to fear, Your Majesty is wise."

Emperor Liang Xuan was in a very good mood, and said to Sun Xuelin: "I said you would come back before, but I couldn't wait for it. Now that you come back with such good news, I am really happy. General Sun, you have done a great job. "

After a pause, Emperor Liang Xuan said: "Reward General Sun with the title of first-class meritorious service, and give his son Sun Yusheng the title of General Iron Head. Mrs. Sun is ordered by the third rank. From now on, General Sun will rest for three days and have a good rest."

Resting for three days is to save him from getting up early in the morning to go to court. This is an extremely high honor. So far, no one has had such an honor.

Many people congratulated Sun Xuelin one after another, and Sun Xuelin kowtowed to Emperor Xuan of Liang.

After the dynasty was over, Sun Xuelin did not leave the palace, but went to the emperor's imperial study.

"Your Majesty, Prince Madan of the Kacha clan brought these items as tribute. He did not come here purely to worship, but also for other purposes."

Sun Xuelin took out another letter and handed it to Emperor Liang Xuan, a little confused: "The minister and the patriarch of the Kacha clan said that the emperor's daughters are relatively few, and the only six princesses have been married to others when they are adults, but the patriarch insisted that the princess of Daliang They are all good, and the other girls in Daliang are also excellent, so I asked the emperor to give Ma Dan a wife, but I dare not agree to it outright, so I specifically told the emperor."

Emperor Liang Xuan read the patriarch's letter, which was very earnest in asking for marriage. Emperor Liang Xuan put it aside and sighed: "This kind of tribe should be married. I didn't expect this patriarch to be so sensible. General Sun, let me follow the clan. Choose an outstanding woman to be named a princess, and get married in a glorious manner, you don't have to worry about it."

Sun Xuelin said: "Of course, the old minister knows the royal family's consistent style, but this prince Ma Dan is the patriarch's favorite son, and he is also very likely to become the next Kacha patriarch's candidate, so the princess who is sent to get married must be able to assist Prince Ma Dan, only those who have a deep connection with Daliang can serve the two countries better, the emperor must be cautious about this candidate."

Emperor Liang Xuan was a little embarrassed when he heard this, "If that's the case, I won't be able to choose it for a while."

Sun Xuelin clasped his fists and said: "On the way back, the old minister heard the most people talking about Princess Fushou, saying that she is extremely smart and talented. Although the old minister has never met this princess, I think she can Appreciated by the empress dowager and trusted by the emperor, she must be a talented woman, how does the emperor think about it?"

Emperor Liang Xuan thought of Su Qing's clear face, nodded and said: "She is indeed a good choice. Princess Fushou almost pointed it out to the Jiang family before, but something went wrong. Now I am afraid that no one in the court will dare to marry her." She, and she is my younger sister, so she can't be treated lightly, and I will seriously consider it."

When Sun Xuelin left the palace, Su Qing heard the news, and the news had spread to every corner of the palace.

Song Zhi's face was livid, he was holding the long sword, his joints and veins were bulging, and he said to Su Qing: "This old guy has already thought of a countermeasure when he came back. He didn't rush all this way for nothing."

Su Qing was sitting on the chair, the tea in her hand was steaming, she said with the corners of her mouth, "It's really tall, I have never seen me before, so the emperor let the emperor dispel the impression that he has opinions on me, and then mentioned that I was from the people's mouth. Knowing that, the emperor will not think too much about it, this General Sun has also gone to great lengths to deal with me."

Song Zhidao: "You mean, the Kacha tribe may not be sincere when they ask for it?"

Su Qing got up, walked to the window and looked at the peonies outside the window, shook his head and said, "It must be true what they asked for. The Dirong tribe is still in disarray, and they urgently need a tribe to lead them. If the Kacha tribe can rely on the beam, The unification of the Dirong tribe is just around the corner. Prince Madan must have come with a mission this time. Everything Sun Xuelin said is true. The problem is that he insisted that I am the most suitable, I am afraid that he has already thought about how to do it on the road. Correspondence, I'm afraid that Prince Madan from the Dirong tribe already knows about me, and when he asks for me, the emperor will not refuse for the sake of face and Daliang."

After a pause, Su Qing rubbed his eyebrows, "Sun Xuelin was extremely slow on the way back. I thought he and Huang Houye were in front of each other, but I didn't expect him to be slow for more than a month. It was hard for him just because of my affairs." .”

Seeing Su Qing like this, Song Zhi said firmly, "Don't worry, I won't let this happen."
