Chapter 483: Ke Shaoxia
Shuwen is devoted to scientific research and making money. He never thought about getting married, he never thought about getting married, and of course, he never thought about having three wives and four concubines. First, the eldest brother had already said that their man had "only no son can take a concubine without a child". He really felt that his eldest brother and his eldest sister-in-law were so happy; second, he also read his mother's diary, and his mother said, "A person's heart is very small, and he can only tolerate one person. If there are too many, it will be too crowded, and there will be problems."
Shuwen didn't have that person in his heart, and he didn't know what it felt like to "squeeze", but his purpose was to listen to his mother and elder brother, because his parents were very happy, and his father called his mother's name with a smile on his face before his death; his elder brother and sister-in-law were also very happy, and everyone was envious of him when he mentioned it; now his adoptive father only has his aunt and wife, and he is full of energy no matter how tired he is every day.
He neither hates the Fourth Princess nor Princess Yuegui, nor does he like anyone more (he never thought of such a problem at all). But if both of them marry, will they "too crowded" and "will have problems" as my mother said? The lives of the two marquis' mansions are very peaceful and beautiful, so he doesn't want to "good problems".
Also, Princess Yuegui is the legitimate sister of a mother and compatriot of the prospective brother-in-law Ning. It seems that it is not good for him to marry his brother-in-law's sister? And the fourth princess, although Belle was accused of being Baoyu's little prince, Belle is his sister after all. Although the Wenyuan Marquis Mansion and Yongping Marquis Mansion are called one "Two Marquis Mansions" together, the daily feeds are also combined, but the genealogy is still separate?
The Emperor and Jin Xida obviously thought of the latter item Shuwen also, but it was uncomfortable to talk about such facts with the two young girls. These were all things that mothers did. Moreover, Shuwen was still sitting aside with blushing face. It was really inappropriate to continue talking.
The emperor waved his hand: "You two go down first. At this time, your grandmother should ask you to accompany you to walk in the garden to enjoy the flowers." The emperor is a noble superior, but he is also a mortal with a father and a passionate and desire (especially after being jealous of Jin Xida's harmony, a kind father and a filial son, and a harmonious family in the house, he became more willing to enjoy the joy of family). He instinctively could not lower his face and blame the two children in front of him who had always been spoiled by him.
"Father, you..." The fourth princess wanted to speak, but she prepared a lot of words to convince her, but she didn't expect that Jin Xida and Shuwen were there too. She was really uncomfortable.
"Go, my father has something to deal with." The emperor's voice was soft, but it was unquestionable and firm, which made people dare not try to argue.
Although the Fourth Princess and Princess Yuegui were very favored by the emperor and the empress dowager, they were always sensible and knew that the emperor's majesty could not be violated. They had to salute and bow together to retreat.
Although the emperor was a little depressed because of this sudden emergence, it did not affect the serious matters. After a moment, he continued to talk about his ideal blueprint for "the treasury is abundant, the military expenditure is sufficient, and the people are prosperous and peaceful", and asked Shuwen a series of questions. Shuwen was quite embarrassed at the beginning, and even a little absent-minded. However, under the questions of the emperor one by one, his spirit had to be quickly concentrated and quickly returned to his previous state. When he talked about the grand plan of making a big plan for doing business and making money, he threw everything away.
When Jin Xida and his son left the palace, Shuwen said awkwardly: "Entertainment Father, will the emperor...can...can..."
Jin Xida glanced at him sideways and joked: "Do you want to hug him left and right? It sounds like those two girls are good, and they have a good relationship since childhood and will not quarrel."
Shuwen's face, which was a little childish, turned red to his ears again: "Entertainment Father---. You don't know my mother's advice. Both my elder brother and I can only marry one wife."
Jin Xida laughed. He also knew that the adopted son had not yet fallen in love with him, and because Shujie and his heart were relatively simple. He had no awareness or expectations for getting married. If the emperor had not wanted to give him a marriage, they would have planned to arrange it for him in a few years. At that time, he might have thought about what kind of girl he liked.
With a look of prank and abuse, Jin Xida said seriously: "No, the emperor and Prince Yong have already chosen Princess Yuegui's prince Ke Yixiu, the prince of Beijinghou, which is also the wish of the former princess during his lifetime." The wife is better than husband, and Prince Yong loves and respects the former princess, so naturally hopes to satisfy every wish of her, unless Ke Yixiu is not good and the Ke family is unrighteous.
"Ke Yixiu?" Shuwen's face looked admirable. He admired the loyal general who upholds justice and has great martial arts since he was a child, and was a brave hero. Last year, Shuwen has heard the deeds of Ke Yixiu, the "young bandit suppression general" who was compiled into stories by major storytellers in Beijing, which was exciting and exciting. Shuwen has heard many times. Unfortunately, Shuwen was busy preparing for the exam before, but Ke Yixiu's traces were hard to find, so he had never been able to meet.
The grandfather of the Ke family also became a marquis for his numerous military achievements (advancing the Five Dynasties), but Ke Yixiu's father liked literature but not martial arts since childhood. However, the elder brother who practiced martial arts died early, so he had to inherit the title of "Beijing Hou" as a civil servant, which made people feel a bit inappropriate.
Fortunately, the prince of Beijinghou Ke Yixiu was like his grandfather, who practiced martial arts at the age of three, five, and rode his horse to gallop at the age of seven. At the age of twelve, he was sent to the border by his grandfather and his father to follow his uncle, General Zhao You, the general of the North Town.
Because Ke Yixiu was young and General Zhao You did not let him go to the battlefield, he followed him to suppress the bandits, but as he played, he became interested and famous.
At the age of fourteen or fifteen, Ke Yixiu was famous for suppressing bandits at the border. Because Ke Yixiu's martial arts skills and very handsome face, she was as elegant as an immortal who came down from the sky to save people, she was called "Ke Shaoxia" by the local people.
The "mountain kings" who took advantage of the chaos to rob the people in several prefectures and counties near the border town were frightened to their calves when they heard the name of "Ke Shaoxia". Ke Yixiu repeatedly used strange tricks and never played cards according to the rules, which made them unable to defend themselves and wanted to cry without tears.
All the bandits near the border town were eliminated, and the reputation of "Ke Shaoxia" was resounding throughout the border areas and was passed back to the capital. The emperor was very happy and he was suffering from the bandits everywhere.
Nowadays, the lives of ordinary people are just a little better. There are more merchants coming and going, and those bandits and bandits are active. Especially several "famous" bandits are very rampant, which makes the merchants who have to pass by frightened. They either have to pay a lot of money to hire escort agencies to protect the escort agency, or prepare the silver and beauties for "filial piety".
The Great Zhou never had a "first captain" like Xia Linxuan. Although many martial arts and Jinshi were produced in each martial arts imperial examination, those with good skills and some abilities went to the border to strive for great achievements and gained benefits. They were unwilling to be a constable who was difficult to get help and had no chance of promotion.
At this time, isn’t “Young Master Ke” the pillow that the emperor saw when he was sleeping?
So, the bandit removal team led by "Ke Shaoxia" began to appear unexpectedly in a place where bandits were rampant. Before they could react, the bandits were caught. After a shot, people were panicked in the bandits' dens, but they didn't know when the bandit removal team would appear. Perhaps two days ago, they heard that Ke Yixiu was attending a party in the capital, and within two days, the news came that the bandits' den was being struck in a certain place. Now, the bandits were even more panicked all day long than the businesses and the people who were panicked by them. They were ready to separate their families and leave after a little disturbance.
The emperor was so satisfied that he handed over the burden of cultivating the bandit removal force of the Great Zhou Dynasty and strengthening the ability of constables in various places (of course, including improving treatment, improving promotion, and reward and punishment system) to Ke Yixiu, the prince of Beijinghou. He also said meaningfully: "In order to ensure the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the peace of the people, eliminating bandits is as important as defending the border, and a courageous general is also needed."
Jin Xida looked at Shuwen with a look of "sympathy" and smiled and said, "Ke Yixiu is about to be eighteen this year, but the Beijing Hou Mansion has never discussed brides for him. The excuse was that he was far away from the border, but later he was too busy. In fact, it was Mrs. Beijing Hou who was always thinking about the intention of marrying the former princess back then, and wanted to take care of Princess Yuegui for the former princess.
Ke Yixiu also heard more or less about his mother's friendship with the former princess, and knew his mother's wishes, so he was not in a hurry. He heard that at a young age, Princess Yuegui, who was Jinjiao and Yugui, was calm in the face of danger, and dared to remind the emperor that after the incident of "sneak attacking" the assassin with a porcelain jar, his eyes were bright and he supported his mother's thoughts silently."
The wife of the Marquis of Beijing wanted to find out the verge of the words, but she was concerned about Princess Yuegui's identity, for fear that people mistakenly thought that their Marquis of Beijing wanted to be higher. In addition, Prince Yong was far southwest, and there was only one concubine in the palace to take care of the gifts. It was difficult to run to the palace to find the Empress Dowager...
With all kinds of concerns, he kept dragging him, and there was also the intention of waiting for Prince Yong's consort Shuyao to directly find Shuyao after his wedding. Shuyao was the legitimate mistress of the royal family and the eldest sister-in-law of Princess Yuegui.
After Prince Yong heard about "Shaoxia Ke", he remembered what his beloved wife had nagged with him back then. He realized that his daughter was about to go to bed and could talk about marriage. He immediately picked up a pen and wrote a secret letter to the emperor.
Coincidentally, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, who were looking for the right candidate for Qi Yueling, also fell in love with Ke Yixiu. The Emperor even packaged the information about Ke Yixiu and the Ke family that he had visited to Prince Yong through a secret information channel. The three of them hit it off.
"Entertainment Father," Shuwen's eyes lit up suddenly, "Ke Yixiu is a good one. You can suggest that the emperor tell Prince Ning and his sister. The Fourth Princess and Princess Yuegui listen to their sister the most, especially Princess Yuegui." Since Qi Haoning decisively and delayed the solution of the Anguo Duke's Mansion, Shuwen has become more and more satisfied with this prospective brother-in-law.
Jin Xida thought, right? Those two little girls were innocent and probably didn't know what kind of relationship between men and women. They just stubbornly felt that the two didn't want to separate. They were purely childlike. I was afraid that the emperor and the queen would not make any sense to them, otherwise they wouldn't go directly to the imperial study room to look for the emperor, right? They must have hit a wall with the queen, and the queen obviously failed to convince them.
