Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 193 Minister of Rites
When Qin Hui and his wife came back this time, they followed a golden man named Gao Yigong.Jin Wushu fought steadily and asked Gao Yigong to bring a large amount of wealth and calligraphy and paintings looted from the people of the Song Dynasty, and walk separately from Qin Hui and others. One was to monitor Qin Hui and the other was to assist Qin Hui.In fact, Qin Hui was under the supervision of Gao Yigong and his wife. If he was not careful, he might die unexpectedly and had to serve the fourth prince wholeheartedly.

Wang Junhua immediately contacted Gao Yigong and brought a large amount of treasures, calligraphy and paintings from him. The first step to visit was the medical officer Wang Jixian.At this time, because Wang Jixian controlled the "sexual fortune" of the official family, Zhao Deji made an exception and was named a fifth-rank military officer by a medical officer.His official position is not high, but he has a lot of airs. Accepting bribes is common, and he is indifferent to people with higher official positions than himself.

Hearing Wang Junhua's visit, he didn't see him at first, but when he saw a large number of calligraphy and paintings presented by the servants, all of which were his favorites, he immediately changed his expression.When Wang Junhua was in the Kingdom of Jin, he had already practiced super flattering skills in the fourth prince's mansion. When he saw Wang Jixian, he said Wanfu: "Master Wang is really a minister who is the pillar of the country."

Pillar ministers are used to describe prime ministers, famous generals, etc.; the status of medical officials is not high, and the highest is no more than six ranks. Wang Jixian heard Wang Junhua's compliment, he laughed: "Wang Shuo is too good."

Wang Shuoren is the imperial title that Wang Junhua obtained before following Qin Hui, and it is a title for a noble wife.Wang Junhua immediately said: "My lord Wang takes good care of the health of the official family, and the well-being of the official family will lead to the well-being of the world. Who can be more important than your lord Wang? Your lord Wang is not a minister of pillars, who can be regarded as a minister of pillars?"

This flattery was so impeccable, Wang Jixian laughed loudly: "There are so many noble ladies, there is really no one with Wang Shuo's knowledge."

Wang Junhua and him hit it off right away, and hit the iron while the iron was hot, saying: "Master Wang's surname is Wang, and his family is also a king. The family was a family 500 years ago, so we might as well become brothers and sisters of the opposite sex."

"Okay, okay, I recognize you as my sister."

When Qin Hui saw his wife coming out, he immediately became a brother and sister with Wang Jixian. He was also active at this time and opened up some joints with civil servants.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Qin Hui went to meet the emperor.

This was the first meeting between the new emperor Zhao Deji and Qin Hui. Before this, he had no impression of the number one scholar of the Song Dynasty.

As soon as they met, Qin Hui knelt down on the ground, didn't say anything, only wept bitterly, dumbfounded and unable to speak.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Deji thought to himself, this person is considered loyal, so he made him stand up and said: "It's really rare for Qing to cherish his homeland."

Qin Hui stammered and said again: "The humble official escaped from death, unexpectedly I can still see the sky today, it's really a blessing."

Zhao Deji's affection for him deepened even more, he thought to himself, this person is not good at words, Wang Jixian and others said he is honest and upright, it seems that this is true.He said: "Qing kept his integrity in the north and was unyielding. It is a blessing for the country to come back today. You know the details of the Jin Kingdom, so you might as well talk about it."

Through Wang Jixian and others, Qin Hui had already understood the emperor's intentions at this time. He knew that since he was "impotent", he had sought peace with Jin Gengzhu, and he did not beat around the bush. After being captured and going to the Kingdom of Jin, I realized that the soldiers and horses of the Kingdom of Jin are strong and all the people are soldiers. Now, if our Great Song Dynasty uses troops rashly, there will be no reason to win. You may as well rest and recuperate, and wait until the country is rich and the people are strong, and then try to restore the rivers and mountains. "

What he said was ambiguous, but it was in line with Zhao Deji's heart, so he said: "Since I took the throne, I have sent envoys many times to seek peace, but the captives are rude and detained many times."

Qin Hui naturally knew that Zong Han had detained Yu Wenxuzhong and his party, so he said according to Jin Wushu's instruction: "Now in the Kingdom of Jin, Zong Han is in power, disrespecting the wolf lord, full of ambitions, and only wants to fight. Only the fourth prince, Jin Wushu, has accepted it. Subdued, dedicated to making peace, and gaining the trust of the wolf lord, I thought, Your Majesty might as well write a letter to the fourth prince, and let the fourth prince and the wolf lord convey, there must be something to gain."

Although Zhao Deji hated Jin Wushu very much, but Qin Hui's suggestion was reasonable, so he happily said: "Since that's the case, why not let Huaixi general Liu Guangxiu write to the fourth prince."

According to Jin Wushu's intention, Zhao Deji was asked to write it himself, but at this time Zhao Deji lowered the standard, Qin Hui naturally did not dare to fight for it, and only accepted it.

Zhao Deji said: "Qing and I hit it off right away, and now it's time to employ people, so I specially confer on you as Minister of Rites to stay in the court."

Qin Hui was overjoyed, and he didn't make excuses, knelt down to thank him: "Your Majesty loves me so much, I dare not do my best!"

When Qin Hui received the praise and courteous reception from "Su Wu" in the capital, Yue Pengju and Hua Rong, who were far away in Elong Town, finally got the news.

................................................

Because Hua Rong's body could not be moved, Yue Pengju chose a very beautiful place [-] miles outside Elong Town, and found a deserted log cabin, repaired it a little, and the couple lived here. Let's rest and recuperate, and when Hua Rong's health improves, he will leave for Xiangyang.

Yue Pengju couldn't bear to be disturbed, and didn't want to be served, but Zhang Xian insisted, and sent two guards to cook, clean and serve as guards.After staying here, Yue Pengju discovered a great advantage. In this northern border town, there is a lush forest in front of it, and tigers, bears, leopards, jackals and other ferocious beasts appear from time to time.He learned from the military doctor that tiger bone and bear gallbladder are the holy medicine for healing, and that it is more effective than ordinary ganoderma lucidum for internal injuries. One day, he heard the roar of the tiger, so he took a long gun and chased it to hunt.

Hua Rong was worried about his safety, but knew that dissuasion was ineffective. Yue Pengju went out for the first time and hunted a small tiger back. Two guards cured him, and after eating tiger meat, he gave Hua Rong the tiger bones as prescribed by the doctor.From then on, every now and then, Yue Pengju would come back from hunting some leopards, bears and the like. He was highly skilled in martial arts and powerful, and he rarely failed. Soon, Hua Rong had a big and comfortable tiger. Leather, bear skin.

Even though the weather in the north is midsummer, the nights are always cool, so Yue Pengju spread tiger skins and bear skins on the large kang. Hua Rong is very comfortable no matter whether he is sitting or lying down.

One day, he hunted a big bear, which could not be carried by himself, so he had to chop off the bear's paw, cut off part of the fresh meat, skinned the bear, and carried it back.Fighting with this kind of bear, he got punched in the left chest, and he couldn't hide the wound anymore. After returning, Hua Rong saw that he was seriously injured, and he blamed and felt sorry for him, so he didn't let him go out to hunt again.

Yue Pengju didn't take it seriously, let alone argue with his wife. Seeing that the bear's paws and tiger bones could last for a while, he took a rest for a few days, and only went after they were used up.

Every half a month, someone would send a bag of high-quality Ganoderma lucidum to the barracks in Elong Town called Hua Rong.Hua Rong knew that King Qin must have done it, but the people who gave the Ganoderma lucidum always left without leaving any clues, so Hua Rong had no choice.One day, I suddenly remembered what King Qin said about the "Thousand-year Ganoderma lucidum" that the old wolf lord had. I was worried that if this idiot really went to steal it, it would be a narrow escape, so I always thought about it in my heart, and I didn't dare to rest assured.

However, she dared not tell the old wolf master's "Millennium Ganoderma lucidum". She knew Yue Pengju's temper. She really couldn't do without Yue Pengju, both psychologically and physically, not to mention the danger of going here, she was afraid that if Yue Pengju left, she would die.Therefore, she was very anxious and had no choice but to pray that King Qin would return to the sea quickly and not take risks because of her own desperation.

Yue Pengju saw that someone regularly sent Ganoderma lucidum, and like Hua Rong, he knew that King Qin did it.Although he hated King Qin, he also knew that this man was a rare idiot in the world. He had been entangled with Hua Rong for nearly ten years.Although he guessed that King Qin was on the border between Song and Jin, otherwise he would not be able to buy so many high-quality Ganoderma lucidum, but King Qin came and went like the wind, and no one had a way to search for people in Yanjing and Jingman Street, so he had to let him.

Yue Pengju resigned at the most determined time. He stayed in Elong Town, killing tigers and bears every day, in order to cure his wife. Being able to heal his wife is also welcome.He only arranged for the guards to fry it for her and take it on a daily basis.In this way, bear's paws, tiger bones, etc. and Ganoderma lucidum worked together, and over time, Hua Rong's injury has improved significantly, and he has become more energetic day by day, and he can even stand up and walk a few steps slowly.

The husband and wife lived in the hut, and sometimes they had porridge, side dishes, simple tea and light meals, and sometimes they ate tiger meat and bear meat and drank tiger bone soup; in their spare time, they read and wrote, and occasionally drew on a whim.Another great progress made by Yue Pengju is learning how to make tea.There is a mountain spring at the back of the hut. The spring water is cold and delicious. It is the best water for making tea. Although the tea set for making tea is no longer the kind of high-quality Jun kiln rewarded by the emperor in the temporary palace of Yingtian, but you can use iron pots casually. It is also a great pleasure to watch the boiling water gurgling after frying.Every time the frying is finished, Hua Rong only takes a sip and laughs happily.

From wandering as a child to serving as a soldier as an adult, Yue Pengju had never lived such a leisurely life, and he found it so enjoyable, not boring at all.

One day, Hua Rong saw that he was relishing writing and practicing calligraphy, so she asked him: "Pengju, isn't this boring?"

He looked up at his wife. She was sitting cross-legged on a big rough chair covered with tiger skin. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves and sprinkled on her body bit by bit. Her originally pale face was seen. Slowly, a little bit of blush recovered, and she raised her face, resting her chin on her hand, with a focused expression, full of brows and eyes, like a living scroll.

He got a little heartbeat, looked at his wife—heartbeat quickened.Quietly put down the brush, walked over, put her hands on the chair, squatted down, surrounded her completely, and smiled: "I really like this kind of life, with you, no matter what I do, I feel full of fun. "

His eyes were sincere and gentle, Hua Rong sighed secretly, stretched out his hand to touch the wound on his chest, and then looked at the bloodstains on his hands, for hunting tigers and bears, these days, he has suffered countless injuries, large and small.For a man who aspired to be a general since he was a child, what kind of perseverance must he have to give up his excellent military career as a "Xuanfu envoy" and live in seclusion in this desolate place with a ruthless woman?
