The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 84: Excellent military exploits and quick son-in-law

"The holy decree is hereby, General Hussars, Gao Qi, the prefect of Yanmen, accepts the decree!"

A flattering servant stood in the county mansion, holding the imperial decree in his hand, and shouted loudly.

For a moment, Gao Qi didn't dare to neglect, and quickly knelt down to accept the order.

Randomly, the servant spread out the imperial decree with his disgusting voice of neither man nor woman: "The emperor said, today's hussar general Gao Qi is young and brave."

"The Baideng victory was planned, and tens of thousands of Hu Kou were wiped out, so that the Chinese people have been oppressed by Hu Kou for hundreds of years to end."

"The people of China will once again usher in the contempt and humiliation of Hu Kou."

"Gao Qi has made outstanding achievements in this battle. I have a daughter named Yuhuan, who is only twenty-eight years old."

"Therefore, I have decided to make Gao Qi the son-in-law, please come to Beijing within half a month!"

"Kin this!"

In an instant, the servant finished reading what was written in the imperial decree.

For a moment, Gao Qi froze in place, forgetting everything about the connection.

"What, son-in-law?"

Hearing that after Yang Guang wanted to recruit himself as a son-in-law, Gao Qi was shocked in his heart.

Judging by the expression, it's not the slightest reluctance!
However, this is quite normal. After all, although Gao Qi is now a Sui official, Gao Qi is a descendant of the royal family.

Not only did he have hatred for the destruction of the country with the Sui Dynasty, but he also had hatred for killing his father with Yang Guang!
But now if Gao Qi becomes a son-in-law, it means Yang Guang becomes his father-in-law. If Gao Qi wants to stand on his own feet in the future when Gao Qi is strong and strong, he will first be labeled as disloyal and unfilial.

I'm afraid there will be no one in the world following Gao Qi.

This is one of the most important reasons, and the second is that Gao Qi loves his eldest grandson Wugou deeply in his heart.

What he wanted was to take his grandson Wugou as his first wife, if Gao Qi married Yang Yuhuan at this time.

Then with Yang Yuhuan's status, it is definitely impossible to be a concubine. Isn't this Gao Qi failing his eldest grandson Wugou?
Besides, Yang Yuhuan is the daughter of Yang Guang. As Gao Qi, she is destined to rebel against the Sui Dynasty in the future.

If he married Yang Yuhuan, how should he face her?
For a moment, Gao Qi, who was kneeling for the imperial decree, couldn't help being upset inside, and couldn't calm down for a while.

Fortunately, Fazheng who was beside him pushed him, and then he came to his senses, and Gao Qi stood up, took the imperial decree and thanked him.

…………

"Let me congratulate my lord (general) for being promoted to son-in-law!"

After seeing off the servant who delivered the decree, the crowd headed by Fazheng laughed and congratulated Gao Qi.

"Don't make fun of me. What I'm thinking is how to cancel such a marriage?"

"Xiao Zhi, you have always boasted that you are resourceful, can you tell me what to do?"

It's just that, under the congratulations of everyone, Gao Qifei didn't show any excitement, on the contrary, he shocked everyone present with his words.

"break off an engagement?"

For a moment, everyone present was shocked, and they couldn't help shouting in unison.

After a while, Fazheng was the first to react, and asked: "My lord, it is a rare opportunity for the Son of Heaven to invite you to be his son-in-law!"

"Think about it, my lord, as long as I become a son-in-law, my lord will be able to expand the army justifiably in the future, and will not suffer from other people's excuses."

"I don't know why the Lord chooses to refuse such a good opportunity?"

Hearing this, even Fazheng was puzzled and couldn't help asking.

"Xiaozhi, I can't tell you the reason now, but you will know it in the future, but I don't know how you can cancel this marriage?"

"My lord, this marriage was personally arranged by the Emperor Sui. If my lord refuses to accept the order, with the temperament of the emperor, I'm afraid I will turn my face and deny anyone!"

"But if the lord really doesn't want to marry the princess, there is a plan to delay the time!"

Immediately, Fazheng analyzed slowly.

"Oh, I don't know what Xiaozhi's trick is?"

Hearing this, Gao Qi couldn't help asking quickly.

"It's very simple, only betrothal, not marriage!" Immediately, Fazheng smiled and said slowly.

"Only betrothed, not married?"

Hearing this, Gao Qi muttered to himself.

…………

Two days later, after Gao Qi settled all the affairs in the county, under the escort of the personal guard commander Chen Dao, he galloped towards Luoyang, the eastern capital!

Although Gao Qi did not want to accept this marriage, the imperial decree made it very clear that Gao Qi must go to Beijing within half a month.

Gao Qi had no choice but to choose to go to Beijing!

Let’s just say that Gao Qi and his party worked fast, and within a few days they rushed to Jinyang, crossed the Yellow River, and arrived in Luoyang, the eastern capital!
Gao Qi was stationed outside the gate of Luoyang City, looking up at the tall towers of Luoyang City.

All of a sudden, thousands of thoughts rushed into my heart!

Thinking back to two years ago, Gao Qi brought the head of the traitor Yang Xuangan to Beijing to face the saint alone, and won a rank for himself in the army.

Now, Gao Qi came to Luoyang again, but this time Gao Qi was no longer alone.

Instead, he made a great reputation in the northern border and returned with countless brilliance and glory.

All the previous scenes flooded into Gao Qi's mind.

For a moment, Gao Qi could only lament in his heart that the world is really fickle!
After thinking for a long time, Gao Qi slowly ordered to enter the city. Since Yang Guangyu gave him the gold medal with him, the Luoyang City Guard did not dare to make too many fences, so he let Gao Qi and others enter the city.

…………

In Luoyang City, no matter the streets and alleys or the major restaurants, there are people coming and going, and there is a lot of traffic.

And the big restaurants are full of flowers, flowers, willows and greenery, and countless scholars are having a good time in it, drunk and dreaming!

And the major vendors in the streets and alleys yelled loudly and sold all kinds of items.

Suddenly, at the corner of the street, a sudden change occurred.

"Master, please forgive me! The villain didn't do it on purpose."

"Hmph? How dare a group of troublemakers be so bold!"

"Housekeeper, drag me down and hit me hard."

It was only said that a merchant in tattered clothing was kneeling down and begging for mercy from a son of a high-ranking official who was riding on a horse.

As soon as the words fell, a few bullies called housekeepers quickly walked up to the vendor and pressed them to the ground in an instant.

All of a sudden, several housekeepers took out their usual wooden sticks, aimed at the vendor and beat them fiercely.

Soon, the vendor was covered in blood, his flesh was bloody from the beating, and he was about to die.

The onlookers were all sighing, and they all sympathized with the peddler.

But because of the prestige of the high official's son, everyone dared not speak out!

"call out!"

Suddenly, an arrow galloped past at lightning speed, and shot into the body of a housekeeper.

The butler who was shot collapsed powerlessly in an instant, unconscious.

All of a sudden, the other housekeepers abandoned the half-dead merchant and fled to the side of the son of a high-ranking official who was riding on the horse.

"Young master, someone attacked us, and one brother died under the arrow!"

"What? How dare you meddle in my uncle's business, are you impatient, who is it, get out of here quickly."

Suddenly, just as the high-ranking official's son finished speaking, hundreds of cavalry came galloping in an instant.

In an instant, the disciples of high officials were heavily surrounded.
