Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 532 I'm here to give Song Shidao a green hat
Fei Xun looked at the people in the room and felt that this was the kind of thing that the more people knew about it, the more face he would have, so he did not shy away from Sha Tiannan, Shang Xiufang and others, and said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager took into consideration that Mr. Chai was still unmarried, and it happened that Minister Wang had a daughter who was still unmarried. She was talented, beautiful and had a good reputation, so she discussed the marriage with Minister Wang and prepared to act as a matchmaker. Now Minister Wang has convinced his daughter, and we are just waiting for General Chai to meet with Minister Wang to discuss the wedding and choose an auspicious day to set the wedding date."

When Sha Tiannan heard this, he was immediately confused. What was going on? Why did even the Empress Dowager come to join in the fun?

Chai Shen was equally confused.

Because of the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Chai family, she launched a surprise attack without even consulting him.

However, he realized that the Empress Dowager's move was very meaningful. Although he controlled the defense of Ziwei Palace with the help of his old subordinates, except for the Right Guard, a large part of the other eleven guards were controlled by Wang Shichong, Yuan Wendu, Lu Chu and others.

Wang Shichong, in particular, directly and indirectly controlled the largest number of troops. Now that the Empress Dowager had arranged a marriage between Chai Shao and Dong Shu Ni, she could later give Chai Shao a higher military position to divide the military power in Wang Shichong's hands.

I have to say that this trick of adding sand is very clever.

"This……"

Fei Xun noticed that the expressions of the people in the room were very complicated, and he was a little confused about the situation: "General Chai, did you not hear what I said clearly?"

"Oh, haha, no, no, I'll trouble Eunuch Fei to report to the Empress Dowager. I will discuss this matter with Minister Wang in the next two days and finalize the details."

"In that case, I will wait to drink in Minister Chai's wedding wine."

"It should, it should."

Chai Shen politely escorted Fei Xun out of the courtyard. Although he was a duke, Fei Xun came to the Chai residence on behalf of the Grand Empress Dowager. If he didn't give face to the eunuch, how could he not give face to the Grand Empress Dowager?

Duke Qiao naturally didn't know that his son had slept with the Empress Dowager hundreds of times. If they really wanted to clarify the relationship between the two, they would find that she was his daughter-in-law.

Chu Pingsheng did not follow him out, and was looking at "Du Feng" with a playful look on his face: "So, if there is a girl who likes me, I really don't need to worry about it, brother Du. Let me ask you, Miss Shang and the daughter of Duke Zheng, who is not more knowledgeable, sensible, and kind-hearted than the eldest daughter of the Dugu family?"

"You, you... Chai Shao, I hate you!"

"Du Feng" pointed at him, stomped her feet in a very feminine manner, and ran away with a crying voice.

Chu Pingsheng asked Sha Tiannan knowingly, "Mr. Sha, I told him about Dugu Feng. Why is Brother Du so excited?"

"This..." Sha Tiannan looked embarrassed, and finally sighed deeply: "Since the Empress Dowager is also concerned about Minister Chai's marriage, today's matter, just pretend that I have never been here. It's getting late, so I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."

After saying that, he quickly left the hall and followed closely after "Du Feng".

Chu Pingsheng smiled as he walked her to the door. When he turned around, he met Shang Xiufang's teasing gaze.

"If I'm not mistaken, the 'Du Feng' just now is the young lady from the Dugu family in disguise, right?"

"Ah? You said Brother Du... is Dugu Feng? How is that possible!"

"Pretend, pretend again."

Shang Xiufang walked up to him and said sarcastically, "Since she came to see you in disguise, it means she is not opposed to this marriage. Don't you feel guilty for bullying a girl like this?"

"She provoked me first, okay? Girls should be more obedient. If you are too competitive, you will bring bad luck to your husband."

Shang Xiufang was immediately amused and said, looking into his eyes, "You are always right."

"That's natural."

"Hehe, this marriage arranged by the Empress Dowager was also planned by you, right? You even included me in your plan. You can just use the excuse that the Imperial Order is Hard to Disobey to erase the promise you made to me."

This time it was Chu Pingsheng's turn to be at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and he gave her a slap on the face.

"What nonsense are you thinking? Women who are too smart and too sensitive will not be liked by others. If I say I will marry you, I will definitely marry you."

"Really?"

"real."

"I have a bad reputation, but you... are the only son of Duke Qiao, a senior official, a military minister, a general of the Tiger Guards, and the richest son of the Chai family in the world."

"You gave me your first time. Reputation? What is that? You marry your wife for yourself, not for others to see. Why do you care about what others think?"

……

Who is the young man on the road, riding a horse across the sloping bridge? At that time, he was wearing a thin green shirt and looked pretty.

A few days later, at Jianghan Plain, Pegasus Ranch.

Tread.

Tread.

Tread.

The green horse walked slowly.

Chu Pingsheng looked at the simple gatehouse at the end of the fence. On the wooden sign above it were four large crooked characters "Pegasus Ranch" written on them. To be honest, it looked quite shabby.

After all, Pegasus Ranch can be regarded as a local power. Qian Duguan of Xiangyang, Zhu Can in the north, Xiao Xian in the south, and Fu Gongyou of Jingling in the east all have to give Shang Xiuxun some respect. However, this appearance... is indeed a bit petty. But the location is correct.

"drive!"

He tapped the horse's belly lightly, drove the horse through the gate, and when he was about to get the water bag to drink water, he touched the zither-shaped jade pendant with a circular pattern and plum blossom pattern that Monk Xiufang had left him when they parted.

Who says that the ancients didn’t understand romance? The ancients were elegant when they were romantic.

He stroked it for a while and thought of Xiao Meiniang's arranged marriage. No matter what date Chai Shen and Wang Shichong chose, they had to wait until he returned from Pegasus Ranch.

Tap. Tap.

Call...

A shout came from the opposite side, and the smell of horses and earth hit me in the face.

"It's you!"

"Chai Shao?"

Chu Pingsheng let go of the jade pendant in his hand, looked up, and saw two chestnut horses in front of him. On the left horse was Li Shimin, a man with a round face, staring at him gloomily. On the right horse was Miss Li San, who was wearing a light pink skirt inside and a goose yellow half-sleeve shirt outside. She looked at him with a strange look.

"Oh, it's really a narrow road for enemies to meet."

In the TV series, it was Chai Shao who accompanied Li Xiuning to Pegasus Ranch to purchase war horses, and he was jealous of Kou Zhong and almost got into a fight. But here it's not him who accompanies him, but Li Shimin instead?

"Why are you here?"

"What a joke! You can come here, but I can't?" Chu Pingsheng looked at Li Shimin and curled his lips: "Is Pegasus Ranch owned by your family?"

Or you could say that the Li family was hypocritical, they acted so eager for talent and so broad-minded in front of others, but they killed surrendered generals like Li Mi, Dou Jiande, Shan Xiongxin, Yang You... who posed a threat to the Li family, without mercy.

He has made the Li family look disgraced. Look at Li Shimin's attitude. He doesn't even want to pretend.

Li Xiuning said, "Chai Shao, I don't think the Chai and Li families need to be so tense."

"Is it?"

Chu Pingsheng smiled coldly: "Your Li family is no different from those rebels now, and I am the Minister of War and Tiger Guard General officially appointed by Emperor Huangtai. You want me to get close to a group of disloyal, unfilial, unrighteous and shameless thieves from your Li family? Li Xiuning, are you crazy?"

"Yang Guang is incompetent and unjust. Righteous people all over the world should come together to condemn him."

"Now that he is gone, why didn't your father go to Luoyang to meet the new emperor, but instead supported the King of Dai in Chang'an? Could it be that the seven-year-old Emperor Huangtai and the Empress Dowager were also incompetent and unjust?"

"This..." Li Shimin said, "Emperor Huangtai and the Empress Dowager are certainly not stupid people, but there are treacherous ministers in power in the court."

"Then who do you say is the traitor? As long as your father agrees to come to the East Capital to meet with me, I will ask the Emperor and the Empress Dowager to thoroughly investigate him."

"This one……"

Li Shimin was not a fool. In this case, would Li Yuan still have a chance to survive if he went to Chang'an to meet Emperor Huangtai? However, he had an idea to watch the fire from the other side and reap the benefits.

"Wang Shichong! As long as Emperor Huangtai and the Empress Dowager arrest Wang Shichong and bring him to justice, my Li family will submit to him and go to the Eastern Capital to meet him."

"Okay, I'll do this deal with you." Chu Pingsheng brushed off the dust on his green shirt. "But let me be frank. If you break the contract, the consequences will be very serious."

Li Shimin certainly would not care about his threat. Even though the Chai father and son were the favorites of the Empress Dowager, the Li family did not take the power held by the Chai family seriously at all.

When Chai Shen and Wang Shichong were both defeated in the fight, the Li family would be able to take over Luoyang in one fell swoop.

This is also an audience.

It was just that after the audience was over, he would choose an appropriate time to depose Emperor Huangtai and take Xiao Meiniang into the harem.

"Then I will wait and see whether you and your son can turn the tide and save the Sui Dynasty from danger."

"Second brother!"

Li Xiuning was somewhat unhappy because she always felt that this matter was inappropriate and would harm the Li family.

Li Shimin shook his head, signaling her not to say more, as this was a matter between him and Chai Shao.

"Brother Shimin, Brother Shimin."

Accompanied by a voice so sweet that it made people sick, Song Yuzhi, wearing a yellow shirt, came riding a horse, followed by three other riders.

One is Kou Zhong, who has the same golden arches hairstyle for thousands of years; one is Song Shidao, who has a round face and small eyes, ordinary looks, and wears a light grey robe; and the other is a beautiful woman with delicate features, elegant clothes, healthy bronze skin, and waterfall-like black hair. In terms of appearance, she is slightly inferior to Xiao Meiniang and Shang Xiufang, but has a heroic and unique temperament of being as good as men.

I think this woman is Shang Xiuxun, the owner of Pegasus Ranch and the daughter of Lu Miaozi, the world's number one master of mechanisms.

Call...

Song Yuzhi's horse arrived first and stopped beside Li Shimin with an emergency brake. The horse's head tilted back slightly, and it bared its teeth and snorted twice.

"I was saying you looked familiar from afar, you really are such a despicable person."

Well, this is very Song Yuzhi.

Chu Pingsheng's relationship with her was already very bad before. After he handed over the account books of the Song clan's purchase of weapons and equipment from the Dongming sect to Yu Wenzhi, their relationship naturally became even worse.

"Yuzhi, do you know him?"

Song Shidao, Shang Xiuxun and Kou Zhong pulled their horses far away and shouted to stop, letting their horses stroll past.

Kou Zhong said, "Brother Song, Miss Shang, you two are the only ones who don't know him."

"Brother Kou, do you know him too?"

"Isn't he the latest upstart in Luoyang City, Chai Shao, the son of the Chai family? He is the one who gave Yu Wenzhi the account book of your Song clan's purchase of weapons and equipment from the Dongming sect."
