ruffian mixed in ancient times

Chapter 230 "Princess Chagall's Visit"

The drizzle adds a bit of poetry to the bustling imperial capital.

On the street, the elders and ministers in red sables hurried towards the gate of the city with their umbrellas in their hands. The drizzle occasionally rushed under the umbrellas and wet the sable and fox fur.

Ah Zhen walked ahead, and after ten miles out of the city, the confused drizzle in the distance was like thick fog, obscuring the road in the mountains and forests.

After standing for a long time, he breathed out a breath of cold air, closed his sable cape, and asked the person next to him, "How long will it take?"

The royal guard who held the umbrella for him immediately replied respectfully: "I will report to Sima, it will take half an hour."

"Yeah." After listening to him, he hummed lightly, walked to a rock not far away, and sat down on it regardless of whether his clothes would be wet or not.

Gulu, the ministers of the bureaucracy at the side, stared at him, not daring to make a sound, and stood upright in the misty rain in silence, waiting patiently.

After a long time, the guard looked at the confused front, and shouted to him in surprise: "Da Sima, Princess Chagel is here."

"Oh!" Ah Zhen raised his head and looked into the distance. Sure enough, he saw a large group of people walking towards them.

Seeing the old minister next to him, he was surprised and shouted at the guard of honor: "Start"

After the words fell, the sound of drums was loud, and the firecrackers ping-pong-pong rang even more.

Until Yingying's phoenix chariot was very close, Ah Zhen looked at the beaded curtain on the phoenix chariot, couldn't see the people inside, stood up and approached and chanted: "The east wind is rustling and the rain is coming, and there is light thunder outside the Furong pond. Golden Chan Nie the lock and burn incense, the jade tiger draws the silk and draws the well back. Jia's peeping curtain Han Yushao, Mi Concubine stays as a pillow for Wei Wangcai. In the heart of spring, there will be no flowers competing for hair, every inch of lovesickness and inch of gray."

The elder ministers of the cabinet stared at him with wide eyes. He actually wrote such a poem of love to Princess Chagel. Everyone was there, and he dared to be so shocking.

Seeing him, all the Tubo servants, guards and Cao Zong beside the phoenix chariot respectfully knelt down on the ground and shouted together: "Kowtow to see King Chagel."

The old ministers who knelt down were even more shocked.

"Get up, get up."

After he excitedly aroused a large number of people, Yingying waved the curtain, the excitement could no longer hide his face.

The phoenix crown and xiapei are full of beauty, and the princess temperament reveals an extraordinary figure.When Ah Zhen saw Yingying, she was only amazed.

"Would you like to come up and sit down?" Yingying suggested seeing the astonishment and surprise in his eyes.

He came back to his senses, tilted his mouth and shook his head, "It doesn't make sense."

"Yeah." Yingying nodded and waved to the guard next to her.The guards quickly moved the ladder and placed it under the phoenix chariot.

"It's really like a red envelope." After she walked down, she looked at him and joked.

Ah Zhen looked down at his official uniform, and couldn't help but smile, then he smiled nonchalantly: "How long will you be here this time?" As they spoke, the two walked forward on foot.

The crowd followed behind, and the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty followed closely behind, not daring to make a sound, when they saw Princess Chagel and Da Sima walking side by side and chatting side by side.Chagall all volunteered to walk on foot, none of their business.

In the past two months, she has been thinking about him day and night, without him, she often suffers from insomnia.Seeing you again today, I am naturally very happy.She also ordered people to pay attention to his every move in Tubo. She knew all about his capture of the prince's cronies, the collapse of the embankments of the two states, and his going to the south of the Yangtze River to suppress the rebellion.Thinking of Yingying looking up at the man next to her, she really misses him so much that her heart almost breaks.

"Come back to Tibet with me." They walked in silence for a while, Yingying spoke slowly.

Ah Zhen turned her head to look at this beautiful watery face, and asked with a slight smile, "How has Yingying been over the past two months?"

"Not good." Yingying quickly replied, "I miss you to death."

"Me too." Ah Zhen chuckled, and the guards on both sides who helped them with their umbrellas listened silently.

"That's right." Yingying thanked after a pause, "Thank you for donating 10 taels for me."

Ah Zhen nodded: "This is what I should do, who called me King Chagar?"

Yingying nodded and complained, "You rushed into Jiangnan when you had no soldiers, I have to tell you about this." After she finished speaking, she began to be wordy, Ah Zhen laughed, and soon the two of them had entered the city gate Inside.

The people around them knelt on both sides under the drizzle, looking at Da Sima walking side by side with Princess Chagel in horror. The rumors were finally confirmed, their Da Sima was really King Chagel.

Seeing this battle, Yingying smiled and asked: "Your majesty is really enthusiastic."

"Of course, the two countries have established friendship, and the emperor is very happy." He avoided the seriousness and replied lightly.After turning back, he looked at her, as if he wanted to say something between his brows.

Seeing him like this, Yingying squinted her eyes and nodded, "You have done everything about Oboi. On the contrary, you are even more outstanding." After speaking, the common people who knelt on the ground sighed: "The great Sima of Da Zhou is very popular. "

"Hehe" Ah Zhen laughed and said, "Looking at history, it can be found everywhere, but everyone knows what happened later." After speaking, she looked at Yingying, and she really thought of it, as expected, she came from the 21st century like him of.

Yingying nodded, and asked with a smile: "I plan to stay for ten days, please treat me well."

"Of course, what's the point? Wan'er really wants to see you."

After Yingying stared at him with dissatisfaction, she said helplessly: "I also prepared many gifts for your two lovely wives."

After Ah Zhen was stared at, he smiled weakly and said: "Well, let's go, the emperor has a banquet and wants to treat you well."

"En." After she responded lightly, the two walked towards the palace side by side.

The guards behind him were confused, as if they heard something, but they didn't seem to hear anything.

After entering the palace, the emperor was also standing in the drizzle in front of the main hall, and Yijia beside him had already been waiting.

After Ah Zhen and Ying Ying stepped in, the emperor greeted him with joy, and looked up and down at the legendary Princess Chagel with his old eyes while smiling. Seeing that this young girl was beautiful, she had a very temperament, and her brows were full of wisdom. , After looking at it, I couldn't help being secretly startled, I didn't expect that there was such an outstanding person in Tubo, and this person was actually a young girl.

Ah Zhen stepped in front of the emperor, saw him sizing up Yingying, clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, this is Princess Chagel."

The emperor Tingyuan nodded, and opened the dragon mouth: "Princess Chagel is really beautiful and heroic. You have worked hard all the way. I have already hosted a banquet in the hall. Please come in quickly, Princess Chagel."

Seeing that the Great Zhou Emperor's eyes were bright and piercing, Yingying put her hands on her chest and smiled back: "The Great Zhou Emperor is majestic and majestic, his prestige has already spread all over the world. Tubo has long wanted to visit, and today he finally got his wish."

Hearing her words, the emperor was secretly startled, he was as proficient in establishing diplomatic relations as Da Sima, and smiled at Lin Azhen: "Lin Aiqing, hurry up and enter the palace with Princess Chagel."

"Princess Chagel, please." Ah Zhen took the order and made a gesture of please.

Seeing that he was already inviting Princess Chagel, the emperor turned around and walked into the Golden Palace.

Seeing his appearance, Yingying laughed, and joked, "Why is Lin Azhen so hypocritical?"

"Oh, etiquette, etiquette." Said that he walked into the golden palace side by side with her.

In the Golden Palace, singing and dancing, golden bells and Chinese music, the emperor sits on the top seat, Yingying sits on the side, and other senior ministers line up on both sides.The maidservant waits on the side.

After the dancing girl finished dancing, the emperor said with a smile to the ministers, "Princess Chagel's visit is the first time since I ascended the throne." After speaking, he raised his glass to respect Yingying and said, "Princess Chagel has worked hard all the way. .”

Yingying also raised her wine glass with a smile and replied: "Your Majesty, you are being polite. Yingying originally wanted to come to visit, but she was busy with work, so she couldn't get her wish until today."

Yingying's words made all the civil servants and generals feel strange, the old man of the emperor smiled secretly, Princess Chagel really lived up to her reputation, Tubo's business is the most important thing, and seeing him is second, and it will not damage the Tubo royal family's dragon prestige.

"Please, Princess Chagall."

"Emperor Da Zhou please."

The two raised their wine glasses high, touched each other in the air, and drank each other in one gulp.

When the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty saw the heroism of Princess Chagel of Tubo, they felt very strange in their hearts. Tubo, the princess who was rumored to be the next successor, really lived up to her reputation.Every gesture exudes an aristocratic atmosphere.The words are more kind but unquestionable.Da Sima is such a ruffian, can he be worthy of her?After thinking about it, everyone looked suspiciously at the big Sima sitting in front of him, sitting cross-legged like a ruffian, with one hand resting on his knee, and the other hand kept pouring wine.I can't figure out how Tupan, Princess Chagall, would fall in love with him.

The emperor also stared at Lin Ah Zhen, and couldn't help frowning when he saw his ruffian appearance.Others were kneeling, but he actually sat cross-legged. Others listened carefully to their conversations, while he cared about drinking and eating meat, so happy.

"Lin Aiqing and Princess Chagel haven't seen each other for a long time, so I should be very happy to see you today." The emperor stared at him and asked slightly.

Ah Zhen listened to the emperor's question, stopped his busy mouth, grabbed the cloth towel beside him and wiped his greasy hands, stood up and clasped his fists and replied: "Back to the emperor, I am not just happy, but excited beyond words."

Everyone was stunned by his talent, they didn't expect that Da Sima dared to speak out boldly.

Yingying squinted her smile, looked at him, and was very happy to hear what he said. Sure enough, it was outrageous, but she liked it.

After the emperor was stunned, he squinted his eyes and looked at the boy. He didn't expect him to speak so bluntly, but he still kept a smile on his face, "Da Sima really has a heroic temperament, and he is outspoken." After speaking, he turned his old face and looked at Yingying with a smile and invited: "Check Since Princess Geer has been visiting for a few days, it is better to settle in the palace."

"Your Majesty, you don't have to be polite. Lin Azhen and I have been in love for three lifetimes, so we can settle in Da Sima's mansion."

As soon as this remark made the ministers gasp, Tubo Duke Chagel's outspokenness really matched that of Da Sima, and he dared to refuse the emperor's invitation, which was too shameless.

Hearing her words, the emperor's smiling face suddenly froze, and his face was so dull that he was almost speechless after being rejected. Then he suppressed his anger, turned his head and glared at Ah Zhen and said, "In that case, Da Sima will entertain Chage for me. Princess Er."

Ah Zhen looked at the old face of the emperor, and replied with a smile: "Thank you, the emperor, I have received the gift." I have to give the emperor face, and I have to pretend to be blessed by heaven.

The emperor nodded in satisfaction when he saw how flattered and startled he was, and finally regained some face.

Yingying looked at the two with disdain in her heart, but she still maintained a smile and replied: "Then I'll have to work with Da Sima." She raised her wine glass and saluted Ah Zhen.

Ah Zhenluo sat down and also raised his wine glass to touch her in the air, and drank each other's wine. In the hypocrisy, each other's hearts are like mirrors.

The emperor squinted at the tiger and looked at the two people's eyebrows to express affection. He concealed his unhappiness and invited all the ministers with a squinted smile: "Let's drink together, everyone have a drink together."

The officials were flattered, and even Xie Wu, the queen, drank the wine tremblingly.

After the banquet was over, all the ministers took orders to leave, and the emperor led Yingying to stroll in the imperial garden, accompanied by princesses and concubines.Ah Zhen, Liu Wanyang and Li Yi followed closely behind.

After the emperor introduced his sons and concubines one by one, Qin Yu said to Yingying Fu with a gloomy look, "Princess Chagel's name, Qin Yu, has long been heard in the ears, and seeing her today is a blessing for three lives."

"Seventh Princess, you're being polite." Yingying smiled back, rubbing her chest with her hands.

Ah Zhen listened to their hypocrisy and hypocrisy, and his ears were callused. In boredom, he glanced around, looking at the large group of charming princesses and concubines, smelling the fragrance of makeup and powder, lamenting that women's chatting is very boring.

Seeing that Princess Chagel was chatting with Jing and his concubines, the emperor smiled at Princess Chagel and said, "Princess Chagel, how about asking my princes to guide you to look around the palace?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Zhou." After thanking Yingying, she glanced at Ah Zhen who was in the distance, and then walked away with the crowd of princesses.

Seeing Yingying's meaningful glance, Ah Zhen kept a smile on his face and watched them leave.

After seeing them leave, the emperor hid his smiling face, turned around and stared at Ah Zhen, and asked with a fake smile: "Does Lin Aiqing want to go back to Tubo and live together with Princess Chagel?"

Here comes, Ah Zhen sighed inwardly, he had no intention of facing Lie Yang, but Lie Yang favored him.

"Your majesty, this humble minister thinks." He didn't hide anything, how could he not understand what the old man was thinking, he was too powerful.

Hearing his blunt words, the emperor was stunned and then snorted softly: "King Chagel has a noble status, so it's no wonder that Lin Aiqing doesn't miss the status of Da Sima."

Liu Wanyang, Li Yi and other important ministers stood by and listened, sweating profusely. Da Sima was too bold to say it even if he thought about it.

Ah Zhen listened to the emperor's words, smiled and replied: "Your Majesty, no matter whether it is King Chagel or Da Sima Weichen, I have never been attached to him. The idea of ​​Weichen is very simple." After a pause, he said ruffianly: "It's enough for the wife and children to heat the kang."

As soon as these words came out, all the officials covered their mouths, and the emperor could hardly hold back anymore, and reprimanded him: "I have no ambition."

Ah Zhen shook his head and asked back: "Your Majesty, for my ministers, such as Da Sima and King Chagel are all ethereal objects, what I want is very simple, a steamed stuffed bun and a woman are enough. "After speaking, looking at the ministers who despise him, he said with a smile: "Someone once told me that the less a person needs, the more happiness he will have; the more wishes he has, the more freedom he will have. few."

This remark aroused everyone's good thoughts.

The emperor asked: "If I let you go, what would you do?"

Liu Fengyang and Li Yi heard that the emperor wanted to let him go, they clasped their fists in shock and persuaded, "Your Majesty, no, Da Sima's talent and learning can keep Da Zhou from dying for a hundred years."

After the persuasion, Chao Ah Zhen also persuaded: "As a strong man, Da Sima should put the country as the most important thing, and the community as the most important thing."

Ah Zhen waved his hands and smiled at the nervous two people: "The emperor just said if, you two are too reserved." After speaking, he patted their shoulders and joked: "Come on, follow me, inhale, exhale After doing a demonstration, he nodded and smiled and asked, "Do you feel much more relaxed?"

After a moment of stunned faces, the two of them retreated into the crowd in embarrassment, not daring to speak again.

Seeing that he dared to tease the ministers in front of them, the emperor couldn't help but feel embarrassed, this kid really dares to do anything.

"Lin Aiqing hasn't answered my question yet."

After teasing, Ah Zhen saw the old man's old face that was about to smile, sighed and replied: "If it's really there, then I will farm in spring and summer, hunt pigs in autumn and winter, and study at night."

The emperor squinted his eyes and nodded, "Lin Aiqing is very leisurely."

"Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. I also want to travel all over the world and see the beauty of every country." After speaking, he sighed and said, "But I'm afraid it will be difficult to do this in a lifetime."

"Why?" The emperor was curious.

Ah Zhen raised his eyebrows, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that my time is numbered."

When he said this, everyone was shocked, even the emperor was inexplicably shocked, and asked with concern: "What hidden disease does Lin Aiqing have? The imperial physician in the palace is very skilled in medicine, why don't you give the imperial physician a diagnosis."

The Emperor's concern warmed Ah Zhen's heart, he waved his hands and replied, "Your Majesty, I have no hidden illness."

Hearing that he said that there was no hidden disease, the emperor asked angrily: "Then why is there not much time?" This kid wouldn't even want to play tricks on him.

"How is the emperor's health recently?" Ah Zhen asked without answering.

Everyone was stunned, why did they say that the emperor's body went up now.

The emperor was stunned for a while, the boy's speech was too jumpy, but he nodded in comfort after hearing his concerned tone: "I'm fine."

"Hmm." Hearing that he was fine, Ah Zhen reported to the emperor: "If the emperor wants to know why the time is running out, please talk to me alone." The old man is so kind to him, let him choose what to do Well, he was the one to die anyway.Yingying's arrival relieved him of any worries.

The emperor squinted his eyes, looked at him for a while, and said to everyone: "You all step back first."

Wang Yu and all the ministers were confused and sweaty, they didn't dare to say anything, and retreated slowly.
