MTL - Love Like the Galaxy-Chapter 112
Two days after Qu Lingjun left, the second concubine finally came back from a visit. At the same time, the expedition of the Shouchun rebels was officially put on the agenda. It was prepared before, and with the emperor's order, the war machine that had already been prepared was launched in an orderly manner like its own life.
, indicating that the couple want to leave the capital temporarily to attend the wedding of their friend Qu Lingjun. Queen promises. After Ling Budo heard about it, he said that the second prince, the concubine, had married well.
Shao Shang immediately guessed: "You mean, the second princess has heard about Madam Qu, but she hid outside and refuses to return to the capital?"
"She considers herself a friend of Qu Lingjun. If her friend committed the crime of murdering her husband, should she care or not? No matter, it will seem cool, and she may not be sure whether Qu Lingjun has murdered. It would be unreasonable to provoke suspicion, it is better to stay out of it.”
Shao Shang looked disappointed: "No one in this palace is simple, the second emperor looks very straightforward, and I didn't expect to be so scheming."
Ling Budoubt said: "On the basis of scheming, the Crown Princess is not worthy to carry shoes for the Second Princess. Over the years, if the Queen and I had not been backing up many times, the Crown Princess would have been pinched by her many shortcomings. went."
"What are you reprimanding? She didn't frame it. It's true that the people under the Crown Princess behaved inappropriately. The Second Princess is just tracking it secretly and then exposing it."
Shao Shang sighed, and then thought of something, he nervously pulled Ling Budo's sleeve: "Then a few days ago, you sneaked out of the Panqing camp and went to Tu Gaoshan to play with me, The inner official of the hot spring courtyard must tell His Majesty! Now the court is busy preparing for the expedition of Shouchun, and you are also a member of the expedition army, and actually... what should I do?!"
Ling Budo smiled brightly and rubbed the girl's little face: "You just thought of it!" After being clapped, he said, "This morning, I was reprimanded by Your Majesty. ."
Shao Shang breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest: "Your Majesty will reprimand you, and there will be no major incident."
Ling Budo was calm: "This war is not a big deal."
Yes. The Battle of Shouchun was just a small battle. It used the power of one country to conquer the chaos of one place, like a heavy hammer crushing shortbread. All the officials in the court knew that the traitor Peng Zhen was bound to become ashes - so the trick came.
The veterans and officials who used to dominate the world with the emperor are very graceful this time. When you are old, you should give young people the chance to shine.
So who are the young people? All the ministers grinned, and their hearts were clear—of course they were the children and descendants of each family!
So this time, even the famous General Wu, who was ruthless and courageous, stayed at home and refused to come out to lead the entire army. Ge Yin understands that the trouble this time is not the war, but how to control this group of noble children like buffalo calves! Not only must we manage the prison well, but on the premise of ensuring the smooth war, let this group of children have the opportunity to show their faces and make contributions. At the same time, we must pay attention to the scale. It's okay to be injured and scratched, and the head will be cut off with broken hands and feet. don't.
The emperor is well aware of this situation, but it is not easy to reprimand, because he is the first to do so.
No way, the adopted son fights bravely and arrogantly, without caring for himself, he dares to rush to a place where he doesn't see any danger, the emperor has been scared many times before, Long Yan Shang There are more wrinkles. He was reluctant to throw Ling Budo into the real **** battle, and a small battle of Shouchun's difficulty was the best.
It is estimated that the old brothers had an idea with myself. The emperor can't say 'I am a real dragon can do this, you are a shrimp, so I can't', the emperor can't help but miss his ancestor Emperor Gao The rogue bachelor temperament, how can such an excellent quality not be passed on to the children and grandchildren.
No matter how reasonable it is, the emperor is the founding monarch who fought the country with nothing. Distinguished children can join the army, but the proportion cannot exceed 30%, and they must be strictly controlled. Under various considerations, Cui You, who originally only planned to stand in front of Ling Budo, was directly promoted to be the commander of the army.
Rest assured that the fifteen-year-old adopted son will be handed over to him, then naturally the ministers will also rest assured that they will throw their nephews and nephews to this gold-medal dad. Everyone's mind is the same.
Cui You is one of the most popular among the important officials.
The ministers like him, because he neither likes to fight for power nor for power, many disputes he smiled and passed.
The emperor liked him, and every time he smiled and asked him what reward he wanted for his meritorious deeds, Cui You would always look back with bright eyes full of meaning, and the emperor who looked straight at him had goosebumps - the emperor used his toes I can think of what Cui You wants, but it's just a matter of giving them a marriage when Huo Junhua recovers.
Although Cui You is not very good-looking, all the old brothers who have known each other for decades know that he is resourceful and cautious; Everyone is about to break through the door of Cui's house. So the Ban family, who was hesitant at first, also brought out a young marquis of the only seedling class, and Yu Marquis, who had a face of morality, also shyly stuffed three sons here... and so on.
The tighter the schedule, the busier everyone is, and the small business is no exception.
These days, she hurriedly made a lingerie and a pair of thick fleece socks for Ling Budo overnight, and even took the last few stitches to the Changqiu Palace to make them, and collected them in front of the old man. mouth. Seeing that Shao Shang was poked into a star-filled finger, even though the finished product was really bad, the emperor snorted twice, expressing his satisfaction.
Ling Budo pulled Shaoshang out with a sullen face, flipped through her little hands repeatedly, and said displeasedly, "It's better not to do it if it's like this."
Shao Shang smiled and touched his cheek: "You are so unconscionable, who am I doing this with my fingers?"
"Naturally, in order not to be reprimanded by Your Majesty." Ling Budoubt exposed her neatly.
"
"The last time your sleeve was scratched, I fixed it for you. When did I count on your female celebrity?"
It's been two hours, two hours! Mother Fu said, if this kind of thing spreads out, it will definitely be an ancient anecdote, and the girls of the Cheng family don't have to go out in the future!"
Ling Budo laughed. He watched the tip of the girl's little upturned nose turn slightly red in the cold air, and couldn't help but lowered his head and took a bite.
Shaoshang covered his nose and blushed, took a few big steps back, pointed at the man and shook his fingers: "You, you..."
Ling Budo took a few steps forward, leaned her slender body like Yushan, and whispered in her ear: "Don't be angry, I'll let you bite back."
Shao Shang looked at his Adam's apple, which moved slightly, and the bridge of his nose.
On the last day before leaving, Ling Yi quietly went to Ling Budo's mansion, and Shaoshang happened to be there at that time. When he saw Shaoshang, he smiled gently: "Your Majesty doesn't like me coming to Zisheng, don't tell me."
Shao Shang bowed respectfully and did not answer.
Ling Yi gave his son a pair of precious golden silk armor, repeatedly instructed: "Be sure to return with your whole body, and a comprehensive body is more important than anything else. Don't take it easy when your heart is hot. Take risks, don't...don't be like your uncle...the most important thing is to live. Only by living can you do what you want to do!"
Ling Budo lowered his head and listened, and called them one by one. The father and son were relatively speechless. After a long time, Ling Budo said: "When I come back this time, I will go to Chengyanghou Mansion. Maybe Zhengdan will not be able to catch up, maybe the Lantern Festival..."
You're welcome, you can say whatever you want, don't be afraid!"
When Ling Yi was about to go back, Master Ouyang suddenly came to deliver the urgent report, and Shao Shang got up to take Ling Yi out for Ling Budo, and when he went to the front court, Ling Yi suddenly sighed: "Zi Sheng has a stubborn temperament. , how much do you persuade him, don't listen to the unparalleled heroes touted by others and ignore it. You are the uncle who has never met Zisheng, and he is really a god-like figure.
Shao Shang suddenly couldn't stand still: "Everyone will return to dust, dust will return to dust, and everyone will disappear! But the things that have been done will not disappear, nor will the achievements left behind. It's gone!"
Ling Yi was a little stunned, then smiled again: "Then, do you want Zisheng to do the same?"
Shao Shang was dumbfounded.
Watching Ling Yi leave, she slowly paced to the back garden and stood under an old plum tree. Shao Shang looked at his handsome face for a long time and sighed, "If you resign, I'll take care of you."
Ling Budo was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Don't listen to my father, life and death have fate, and I don't have enough."
Shao Shang nodded and sighed sincerely: "Yes, life and death have fate, so I will definitely remarry."
Ling Budo's face darkened: "...don't worry, I will come back alive."
On the day the army set out, Dad Cheng was displeased that he was owed debts. This time, he was appointed by the emperor to the south of central Yangzhou, and together with General Han, he was stationed on several necessary roads south of Shouchun to prevent the rebels from fleeing after the defeat.
He saw her daughter making needles and needles a few days ago, even if Ah Li stared at it well, it was almost a **** case. Originally, Cheng Shi thought it was for himself, but after his wife reminded his daughter that he was engaged, he consciously thought that even if the clothes were for Ling Budo, the fleece socks should always be his own. Who knows, there is no such thing as his.
Even if she was about to leave, the daughter who was standing beside the queen had been secretly watching Ling Budo, who was under the stage, without giving it to her father. Cheng Shi couldn't help but burst into tears.
The army moved slowly, passed under the stage, and passed through the city gate. In the middle of the day, Ling Budo reined his horse and rode at the forefront, the warm golden winter sun shone on his black armor, and his vigorous posture revealed a touch of blood in the battlefield.
Shao Shang kept looking at him, Ling Bu suspected that he also felt something, he suddenly turned his horse's head and rode back, and in a short time he rode to the high platform where the empress' guard of honor beside the platform . Shaoshang still didn't know why, I saw Ling Budo stretch out his arm, and under the eyes of the public, his left hand gently lifted upwards, a small object swept a gentle arc in the air, and accurately fell into Shaoshang's arms.
The emperor who was leaving Dianjiangtai also saw him. He had a serious face and wanted to laugh and curse. Standing behind him, Yuan Shen tried his best not to roll his eyes, but others were not so good. Conserved. At this time, there was a roar around him, and the officers and soldiers who rode by in the second half of the time saw this scene and laughed one after another—'General Ling will be like this too, you can't look like a man', 'It's March next year, don't worry about it' , 'As beautiful as flowers, envy me and wait'...
Shao Shang was holding the small flannel bag, and without being shy, he tried his best to look up. Under the black iron unicorn helmet, the young man showed only the lower half of his white face, as if he smiled slightly at himself, and then rode his horse galloping away. go.
Before the joking around, Shaoshang lowered his head and pretended to be shy, and quickly untied the flannel bag in his hand, only to see a small gold pendant the size of the palm of his hand, squatting on the square seat The condensed and solemn little tiger has a red brocade rope tied around its body.
"...What is this?" she asked in confusion.
The queen said with a smile: "This is Zisheng's private seal. Well, he is going to entrust the family."
Shao Shang's neck was red. Under the eyes of everyone, joking or joking, she looked far into the distance, as if even the magnificent city gate from which he left was full of brilliance, exuding a touching light.
…
After the army set off, the capital was quiet again. The years were idle, and there was nothing left or right. The next day, Shao Shang went to Xinghua Courtyard to visit the Hof people, and as a result, he met the Cui brothers.
Cui Hou is not good at words, but his two sons seem to be genetically mutated. On the dwarf tree, he performed the legendary stunt of 'Yan's Maneuver' - watching Cui Da deftly move around the branches, Shaoshang applauded loudly.
Ali was shocked and laughed, and said casually: "Cui Hou is so courageous, if it were our daughter, the world would be turned upside down. When the son was young, don't talk about climbing trees, even a little taller. The ladies are not allowed to go there.”
Shao Shang was a little sad when he remembered that Ling Budo had a good childhood.
After Cui Da showed off, Cui Er hurriedly expressed his merits to the beautiful sister: "Is it amazing? It's amazing, that's what my eldest father learned from a ranger with two thousand dollars!"
Short quotient:…
When Huo Junhua took a nap, Cui Da wiped his sweat and gave Shaoshang a bad idea: "Sister Shaoshang, I have an idea, listen to me...Cough cough, good good, good idea. We came out together, don't hold me, go away..."
Pushing her brother away, Cui Da continued: "Sister Shaoshang, our brother has an idea, please listen. You can see that my father and Hof people are not young, so it takes a lot of time. It's a pity. The two of us have already figured it out. If the Hof people are well, it is the best. If the disease is not good, it is fine. Simply be the Hof people or Mrs. Huo, and ask my grandfather to be diligent, and we will help. Hand in hand, it is impossible to say that sincerity is the best way, 'Little Lady Huo' has promised to marry the 'Ape' next door!"
Young businessman heard it and thought it was very reasonable: "I never thought about it. It seems...it's not impossible... Then what will you do then? Where is the son of the neighbor Ape? !"
Cui Da blurted out: "It doesn't matter, Adi and I can continue to act as nephews!"
Short business: uh…
Cui Er was especially happy: "If my father is not my father, maybe we can't force us to study!"
Cui Dabai glanced at his brother: "Don't dream, uncle can also discipline nephew!"
Looking at these smart and lovable brothers, Shao Shang almost laughed until her stomach hurts. After a while, she couldn't help asking why they didn't mind her father being so attentive to other women, did they I'm really not afraid of having a stepmother.
He said: "Actually, some **** often asked us about this in the early years... They did not have good intentions. Sister Shao Shang, if you say something unfilial, my brother and I have long forgotten my mother. It looks like this, but since we are sensible, the three of us, father and son, depend on each other for life."
"I fell and injured my arm, my father would rather give the credit to someone else, but also take me to a genius doctor to fix the bones. I held him for several nights without rest. It’s not that my family does not have Fu’s mother and servants, but my father is afraid that he will always take us by his side and take care of him personally. In ordinary noble families, several fathers will do this by themselves, and it is good to be able to remember their children’s birthdays. ."
"When Grandma was alive, Grandpa didn't feel sorry for her. When Grandma passed away, our brothers should take Grandpa's wishes first."
Shao Shang bowed his head, his clothes were wet, and his heart was pouring like a warm sun.
"And there are..." The little Cui Er came up with excitement, "If father and sister Junhua... ah no, and the Hof people really become, then then Then can't we become brothers with Brother Zisheng?!"
Cui Dayi slapped his thigh: "That's right! When brother Zisheng becomes our brother... Hmph, I don't think those **** are alive and greedy! In the future, they will all have to serve me. Be the boss, obediently kowtow and make a toast!"
Shao Shang snorted and laughed with tears.
After returning to the palace, the young merchant learned the words of the Cui brothers to the empress. The queen also expressed a lot of emotion: "Cui Hou and his son are sincere and sincere people. It is a blessing to have such a family."
The emperor looked out of the window, and his thoughts were lost. After a long time, he murmured: "...that year, the ape could not get down from the cliff, so we had to hang the rope to save him. Ape crouched on brother Huo Chong's back, crying and hiccups - these seem to be yesterday's events, alas, in the blink of an eye, things have changed. Ah Yuan, the father, has done a good job."
After the emperor left, the queen sat in silence for a long time. She said to Shaoshang: "I have met General Huo Chong several times. In fact, he is very similar to Huo Chong in life. He is handsome, brave, gentle and kind. When he came to bid farewell to His Majesty that year, I said every word of his words that day. remember."
" He said, if today's land is like a sea of blood, and all people are suffering, please just go ahead and kill, one day, Yuyu will clarify and the world will be peaceful. He will defend that city for His Majesty, as long as there is He is here, and His Majesty will never be attacked by the enemy."
“…and then he never came back.”
