Work overtime

Chapter 647 A word of truth
Jiang Binggong hurriedly knelt down in front of Jiang Yuebai again, "My parents should have made the final decision on marriage matters. But when my brother was fleeing, he happened to run into the rebels and fell down the hillside. He was rescued by a kind-hearted family member. The daughter of the family was undressed and undressed. Take good care of her. My brother is conscious that he cannot damage the reputation of this girl, so he begs his sister to agree to his request to marry the daughter of this family."

Li Beichen listened happily.

It was the same thing as what he had just heard in Qinzheng Hall, but it was not exactly the same thing.

Jiang Yuebai was stunned for a moment, something happened suddenly, but he suddenly grasped the key point. Either this family is an ordinary family, not only has no servants, but the girl does not have a mother; or the girl and her brother are in love with each other and acquiesced. This special kind of care is about innocence.

In this dynasty, a girl's innocence is extremely important, and it might even cost someone's life.

She looked at her brother's handsome face and could only nod her head, pretending to be normal and asked, "You are right to think about this. You cannot ruin the girl's innocence. How old is the girl? Who are the girl's parents? All agree?"

Jiang Binggong quickly raised his eyes to look at Jiang Yuebai, lowered his head and reported, "Danxia is three years older than me, and my parents at home have agreed."

Is it too early to decide to get married in the third grade of elementary school?

Isn't it too hasty that a chance encounter while fleeing could lead to a lifelong event?

Moreover, unlike modern young people in ancient times, they could get married and divorced.

Jiang Yuebai remembered that the emperor had said that his younger brother would inherit his father's title when he returned, so he looked at Li Beichen:
"This family has been kind to you, and you should repay it. However, marriage is a major matter that should not be taken lightly throughout your life. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Li Beichen could see Jiang Yuebai's concerns, "I think Binggong is doing this out of love and justice. As a man, he should be so responsible."

Jiang Binggong immediately showed a happy smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission."

"I haven't finished what I said," Li Beichen paused, "You are now a loyal uncle, and your status is not as good as before. You will propose marriage to the girl today, but there is a difference between high and low. You can only be a concubine, not a concubine." As a wife. Let’s discuss it when you are an adult.”

"But your Majesty..." Jiang Binggong said anxiously.

He eagerly wanted to say, "How about I stop being a loyal man?" He was deeply influenced by his father's indifference to fame and fortune and did not want to be an official, and did not want to be bound by these.

What's more, what he promised to Xu Danxia was to marry her!
But the eldest sister clapped her hands and said, "Brother, the emperor has made the decision. Jinsouyu promised to marry you and her, why don't you kowtow to express your gratitude."

"But, sister..." Jiang Binggong looked at his sister eagerly.

Jiang Yuebai stopped him with her eyes and said in a commanding tone, "Binggong, this is the emperor's decree. Go wash your hands first. I will take you to burn incense for Jinxiu."

These words made Jiang Binggong fall from the happy mood just now into an ice cellar.

After being stunned for a long time, Jiang Binggong no longer looked as young and mature as before. With tears in his eyes, he shook his head desperately and said in a low voice, "I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"

Li Beichen looked at Jiang Binggong's heartbroken look and felt quite distressed, "Jianing, just stay here and don't move. I will take him there."

After speaking, he pulled Jiang Binggong, who was kneeling on the ground, to stand up, released his hand, and ordered:
"Follow me."

The two of them went out for a long time before coming back together.

Jiang Binggong followed the emperor with a solemn and sad expression, not as out of control as before.

Seeing that his younger brother was dark and thin, and thinking of how frightened and homeless he was these days, Jiang Yuebai felt distressed and kept picking up food for him.

Jiang Binggong buried his head in eating, hiding his face so much that his tears fell into the bowl and he swallowed them in the rice.

Li Beichen peeled the shrimps for Jiang Yuebai with his own hands.

The surrounding palace servants all lowered their eyes and sighed secretly, their master was really favored. Which master in the palace can get the emperor to peel the shrimps himself.

The three people were silent.

After eating, Li Beichen told Jiang Yuebai about sending Jiang Binggong to the Gyeonggi camp for training.

Hearing that this was Jiang Binggong's ambition, although Jiang Yuebai was reluctant to give up, he agreed with tears.

Although their father had no intention of pursuing an official career, he taught them from an early age that "if you are poor, you can be good for yourself, and if you are rich, you can help the world." If given the opportunity to serve the country, the children of the Jiang family would work tirelessly and not sacrifice their lives.

Li Beichen did not leave Jiang Binggong to talk to Jiang Yuebai alone. This was against the rules and was not conducive to Jiang Yuebai's pregnancy.

He asked Jiang Binggong to kowtow to Jiang Yuebai.

Looking at Jiang Yuebai, "I have arranged for Lu Kunming to wait at Qinzheng Palace. Don't worry, when you see him again, he should be a young general."

These words made Jiang Binggong's eyes look more decisive and brave.

Jiang Yuebai wanted to touch his brother's head, but he dodged him again. I couldn't help but want to laugh. People who have a "daughter-in-law" have really grown up.

"Binggong, take care of yourself in the military camp. Remember to write to sister."

Jiang Binggong said respectfully, "Sister, don't worry, I won't let you down. Sister, take care of yourself."

Although he was young, under the emperor's guidance, he already understood that he was now the only male in the Jiang family, and Jiang Yuebai was his only living sister. For the sake of his sister, his mother and his unborn brothers and sisters, he must be brave and responsible, train hard, and achieve military success so that he will not worry his sister and become her support in the harem.

Jiang Yuebai sat alone in a wheelchair, watching Li Beichen leave with his younger brother.

The younger brother's back is thin and straight.

The death of his father causes a boy to grow up quickly.

When their backs gradually faded away, Jiang Yuebai couldn't bear it anymore and cried out: "Bing Gong."

When she was dejected and wiping her tears, suddenly a figure ran towards her and hugged her tightly, "Sister, we all need to live well."

Jiang Yuebai held her brother in tears and said, "Okay, we all need to live well."

Tears fell rapidly like beads from a broken string.

At the entrance of the palace, Li Beichen stood there quietly, looking at the two siblings who were hugging each other and crying from a distance.

He suddenly missed his sisters too.

Missing his father and queen.

After Li Beichen returned, he ordered someone to take Jiang Binggong to see his mother. In the past few days, he has been temporarily fostered with his mother, Mrs. Lu.

In just a few days, General Qi Muye from the Gyeonggi Camp will come over to discuss the firearms camp. In the several battles against Huanhuanqie'er and Ye Sizha, the grenades and explosive packs that Jiang Yuebai urgently sent over came in handy.

Han Ziqian gave Li Beichen the optimized ratio for making gunpowder. As well as the drawings for making the Canon gun, the thickness and size of the gun barrel are accurately marked.

He asked the Firearms Bureau of the Ministry of War to study it, and the preliminary conclusion was that it was feasible, but the important technical issue of how to prevent the chamber from exploding has not yet been solved, and production has not yet started.

Qi Muye was a mighty general personally appointed by the late emperor, and he had been responsible for the equipment and training of the firearms battalion. Not only is he good at fighting, he is also very proficient in firearms and comprehensive combat command using a variety of firearms.

Li Beichen planned to recall him to the capital for a few days to study with the Firearms Bureau of the Ministry of War before making any plans. It was just right to entrust Jiang Binggong to him and take him back to the Gyeonggi camp.

Just as I was thinking about things, I saw that the sun outside was gone and the sky became gloomy.

I heard from Qin Tianjian that it will rain tonight. Since we have to go tonight, why not go talk about business now.

Jiang Yuebai was like a mystery. He had many questions to ask.

Li Beichen took Liang Xiaobao to Ning'an Palace with the blueprints for making cannon cannons.

Walking to the entrance of the palace, Li Beichen looked at the "Ning'an Palace" on the plaque, and the words "Yonghe Palace" came to his mind, so he asked Liang Xiaobao to find someone to replace the plaque with the three characters "Yonghe Palace" in official script. Obviously there is no intention of Yu Ci’s personal writing.

This comparison is to highlight the differences between the Xie family and to elevate Concubine Tian's status.

The difference here will naturally be noticed by those who are interested, which is exactly what Li Beichen intended.

After seeing Jiang Yuebai, Li Beichen did not directly ask the questions in his heart, but drank tea comfortably.

The emperor brought his younger brother here in the morning. His younger brother was fine and he had completed the major task that was hanging on Jiang Yuebai's heart, so he was more attentive and considerate than before.

After drinking tea and chatting for a while, Jiang Yuebai looked out the window. It was not dark yet, so he cleverly found a topic to keep the emperor for dinner:

"The emperor promised me to play chess with you last time. Are you free today?"

Li Beichen was stunned for a moment. Now when he talks about playing chess, he will think of Monk Dao Yan;
When he thinks of Dao Yan, he will think of Jiang Yuebai as the heroine who came through time, and then he will think of the fallacy that he may die at any time and his life span will be less than five years.

It's just that this Dao Yan is very arrogant and arrogant, and he doesn't take soft and hard words. You have to beat him in chess before you can continue talking.

But he caught the emperor's curiosity and was reluctant to kill him directly. After all, this person looks like he really has two brushes.

As soon as Li Beichen thought about it, his expression turned gloomy. He found a way to test Jiang Yuebai.

Jiang Yuebai asked carefully: "Your Majesty, is the tea not to your liking?"

Li Beichen came back to his senses, "Oh, no, good tea. I heard that you have been practicing your chess skills hard these days. I will play a game with you today to see if you have improved."

Jiang Yuebai pursed his lips and smiled, "Is there a reward if I win?"

Li Beichen suddenly felt blessed and said, "If you play chess with me, I will give in to you unconsciously. But if you can beat the old monk Dao Yan, you can give me any reward you want."

Jiang Yuebai became competitive and asked innocently, "Is this true? I, my concubine, should think about it carefully."

Li Beichen liked seeing her so frank and competitive, and said with a smile, "I mean what I say. When will I stop counting?"

I heard that Concubine Tian went to the funeral palace for several days and pestered Monk Daoyan to play chess. Monk Daoyan refused for three consecutive days.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Tian was so arrogant that Monk Daoyan had no choice but to play a game with her today. As a result, Concubine Tian was defeated like a falling flower and fell into a mess. The purpose was to make Concubine Tian retreat when she saw the difficulties, but it aroused Concubine Tian's competitive spirit, and she kept making trouble and wanted to do it again.

However, Dao Yan no longer ignored him, letting him make trouble and reciting his own sutra.

Jiang Yuebai asked curiously, "Is that old monk Yan really that powerful? I heard from Su Su that Concubine Tian played a game with him and lost miserably."

Li Beichen sighed, "I think that my chess skills are among the best in the world. But I haven't even defeated Na Daoyan once."

He glanced at Jiang Yuebai meaningfully and said, "I wonder if Mr. Han could win against Dao Yan if he were here."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuebai felt a chill on his back.

"Jiaojiao, what do you think?"

Li Beichen's sharp eyes stared closely at Jiang Yuebai's eyes, as if a sharp sword was about to penetrate her eyes and her heart.

Jiang Yuebai's heart trembled when she heard Han Ziqian's name.

She had clearly convinced herself and deliberately wanted to forget, but she often unconsciously thought of Han Ziqian, his white clothes as white as snow, his appearance as a gentleman as jade, and many things about him.

Jiang Yuebai met Li Beichen's probing gaze without the slightest dodge. He shook his head and smiled mockingly, "It's not like the emperor doesn't know my concubine's skills. She is very good at it."

Li Beichen felt funny at his ridiculous idea just now. Too. To have any illusions about a beginner like Jiang Yuebai is really off the mark.

He also laughed and said, "You are self-aware. Then you were so excited to ask for a reward just now."

Jiang Yuebai's cheeks were slightly red, and she coyly said: "The emperor is laughing at me again?! I asked Mr. Han to teach me chess just because I saw the emperor playing with the chess pieces all the time. I hope he has someone to accompany him when he wants to play chess, so that I can have more I’ll take some opportunities to be with the Emperor.”

Li Beichen, "So you learn Go for me?"

Jiang Yuebai's face turned redder and redder, and she squeezed Li Beichen's hand angrily, "Your Majesty~~I hate it~~if you see through it but don't tell me, don't laugh at me."

Li Beichen felt an electric current rushing all over his body for a moment, and for the first time he made a joke about Jiang Yuebai, "You are uttering arrogance, why don't you let me laugh? That Daoyan is also from you Suzhou people. I think you Suzhou people are quite crazy. Well."

Jiang Yuebai continued to act coquettishly, "Your Majesty, your joke is so cold. There is a saying that beats the master to death with random punches. The Emperor studied under a famous teacher and has superb chess skills, but his chess style may be more mature and stable. The opponent may use the Emperor's moves to He has studied the chess ideas thoroughly and knows them by heart, but he may make dangerous moves and not follow the routine.

The emperor is in the light, and he is in the dark. The emperor is free to do as he pleases, but the other party may have deliberate intentions. Nature prevailed. Like Chen Concubine, who memorizes chess records poorly and has no serious master to teach her, she just walks around blindly and randomly punches the opponent in the face. The other party may think that Chen Concubine is unpredictable and is confused. "

This is just like badminton and table tennis in China. They are all fighting against their own people. Through video playback, you can clearly study the opponent's methods, habits, and status, and accurately predict the opponent's prediction.

After hearing this, Li Beichen did not feel that Jiang Yuebai offended him, saying that his chess style followed the rules of his teacher. On the contrary, he thought that Jiang Yuebai was quick in thinking, sharp in vision, and saw the problem deeply, and grasped the root of the problem at a glance.

He said with emotion, "That's true. The style of Tao Yan's chess is weird and often surprises you. Until the end, you can't see the original intention of the move."

Jiang Yuebai looked at Li Beichen with a smile, "It sounds like the other party is a conspirator."
