Song Dynasty

Chapter 268 Wang Shen's Marriage ([-])
Wang Shen turned his head in surprise: "Switch?"

"Shh, the military envoy should keep his voice down. If others know about this, it may not work." Yan Yuemeng's voice was even lower: "This subordinate's plan is actually very simple. Since the imperial court wants the military envoy's wife to enter the court as a hostage, we Just give him one, as for who this lady is, it doesn't matter."

Wang Shen frowned: "What kind of bastard is this?"

Yan Yuemeng: "Since the military envoy was appointed as a recruiting envoy, the imperial court asked the military envoy to send his wife to the court for resettlement, but he did not specify that he must send Anniang to the capital. Anyway, as long as it is a woman, the matchmaker is marrying, and the etiquette is up to the mark, that is Yes. Last time, didn’t the general rob Kong Yanzhou’s daughter, Miss Kong Er? At that time, the general sent someone to give the betrothal gift, and the three matchmakers and six benefactors have already arrived.”

"After Qichun was broken, General Kong Xian served under the command of the military envoy, and Second Miss Kong was also placed in the mansion. In the eyes of those who don't know where she is, Miss Kong Second is already a member of the military envoy, and she just waits for a good day to visit and get married. .When things happen in Hunan and the military envoy returns to Anlu, why not marry Miss Kong and send her to the capital, which can be regarded as an explanation from the court. The military envoy...the military envoy...this matter..."

Seeing the anger on Wang Shen's face, Yan Yuemeng suddenly realized that he had said something wrong.But things have come to this, so he can only bite the bullet and continue: "My subordinates have heard that Miss Kong is infatuated with the military envoy, and she will not marry unless she is a minister; and General Kong Xian is now a capable general under the command of the military envoy. The general has always complained about his refusal to marry his sister. If the general and Miss Kong are married this time, firstly, the imperial court’s wariness against you can be stopped; It's beautiful, the army is safe and the people are happy, isn't it beautiful!"

"Hehe, what you offered is a perfect plan!" Wang Shen giggled, and shouted, "Then, Yan Yuemeng, let me ask you, what will An Niang do if someone marries Miss Kong Er?"

Yan Yuemeng said tremblingly: "You can take An Niang as a concubine... An An'an, An Niang understands righteousness... definitely... definitely understands the general's painstaking efforts... As for General Yingxiang, the big deal is to remove his military power... ...With An Niang around, General Ying Xiang will not cause trouble..."

"Zhiniang thief, you are a tease sent by the enemy. Just because of the crap of getting married, you will make me break an arm and make my general of the Sizhou army renounced, you spy!" Wang Shen was furious! , raised the whip high and was about to whip it towards his face.

Seeing Wang Shen's ferocious expression, Yan Yuemeng's back was covered in cold sweat.He knew that Wang Shen liked heroes the most, and he liked people with character the most.If I knelt down and begged for mercy today, I'm afraid I won't be able to be reused by him in the future.

At that moment, he gritted his teeth and straightened his neck and shouted: "Why doesn't the military envoy use a knife? The subordinates only have the military envoy in their eyes, and only the Sizhou army. Yan said that the military envoy Meng De's blue eyes will praise you for your staff, and the strategies offered are only for the military envoy. Others, I can’t control so much! The general’s ambition is the world, is he going to kill the loyal people today?”

The whip in Wang Shen's hand fell fiercely, but it just fell on his horse's ass.

The war horse neighed in grief and anger, and ran away with its hooves.

Yan Yuemeng waited until Wang Shen ran away, only to realize that his whole body was soaked in cold sweat, and he was so soft.

A cavalryman came over with a smile and cupped his hands: "Xuan Zan, in our opinion, this plan is very clever, admiration!"

Yan Yuemeng came to his senses and said angrily, "Are you mocking me?"

"Where do you dare? It's the truth. In fact, this is probably the only feasible way. Otherwise, what else can we do? We don't want military envoys to be restrained by the court."

"Yes, yes, this is a good idea. I don't think Xuan Zan's resourcefulness is inferior to that of Mr. Donglai. Although the military envoy is angry, he may not be tempted."

Hearing that everyone compares himself to a wise person like Lu Benzhong, Yan Yuemeng felt complacent and thought to himself: Lu Benzhong is nothing special, but he is willing to lose face and be able to do it.Who wouldn't know this, but the military envoy still takes him as a treasure?In this world, there will be more talented people in the future.As long as this person has no bottom limit and uses everything to the extreme, he will not have any problems.

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly, a cavalryman exclaimed: "Oops, the envoy ran away, and he was riding a good horse. The road is not smooth. It's a good or bad thing. Let's wipe our necks and forget it."

Everyone was shocked, and hurriedly rode their horses to chase after him, but how could they catch up.

*******************************************************
In fact, the guards' worries were purely superfluous.

Since the defeat of Zhong Ziang's army, the Beiwei army scouted everywhere, and together with the scouts sent by Li Cheng, the official road from Xingyuan to Dingzhou has been completely controlled by the two armies.

This is also the reason why Wang Shen dared to take only twenty riders to Dingzhou, and there was another reason. The messenger sent by Li Cheng said that he only invited Wang Shen to speak, so what's the matter with bringing the army there?

Yes, Wang Shen and Li Cheng got along very well in the past, and they seemed to forget their old friends.But now everyone has different identities, and they are all leaders of an army. There are too many interests involved. It is also a lie to say that there is no suspicion.

What's more, Wang Shen got Du Chong's secret order again, asking him to suppress Li Cheng on the spot.To be honest, Wang Shen didn't want to do anything at all. When he really saw him, he would inevitably feel a little guilty. Naturally, it was not good to bring a large army over there, lest arouse Li Cheng's suspicion.That being the case, he simply went to the city alone to show his integrity.

What's more, the enemy's situation is complicated. Li Cheng's help is still needed to destroy Zhong Xiang this time.

Sure enough, after running for a long time on the road, Wang Shen found that the road was gradually filled with people, and the villages on the side of the road also had cooking smoke, and the sounds of chickens and dogs were heard, and it was a bit peaceful.

He ran for a while in the cold weather, and his body was a little cold. It happened that there was a shed for buying wine by the side of the road. Seeing that the guards hadn't followed, Wang Shen simply jumped off his horse and went into the shed: "Xiao Er, give the horse to the shed. I tied it. In addition, just boil a pot of wine and make a few dishes of cold dishes."

"Okay, sir, please."

When Xiao Er tied up his horse, he served wine and food again.

After drinking two cups, his body became warmer. Wang Shen threw a string of money over him and asked again, "What is this place? This is a land full of chaos. Why do you want to open a shop here?"

After receiving the reward, Xiao Er beamed and replied: "This is called Goujiadian. It used to be a post station, ten miles away from the state capital. There lived dozens of families in the village. Later, because of the war, everyone fled to the city. Recently, it has become more peaceful, so I moved back. The golden nest and the silver nest are nothing compared to my own kennel."

"One short pavilion for five miles, one long pavilion for ten miles, so I have already traveled such a long distance!" Wang Shen was surprised. He started from the place where he was thirty miles away from the city, but now he ran for more than 20 miles in one breath. , This horse's foot strength is really good, it can be called a steed.

Ordinarily, as a general, he likes swords and famous horses the most, especially horses, which are directly related to life and death on the battlefield.

But Wang Shen's status and status now are different from before. In every battle, he only sits in the middle army to plan strategies, and it is not his turn to charge the front.Even if he wanted to fight, he would be blocked by his subordinates immediately.Therefore, things like ordnance and weapons are meaningless to him.

Once equipped, he has his own men to take care of him, except for the bow in his hand.

The war horse he was riding was given by Niu Gao the day before yesterday, and Wang Shen didn't care if he boasted that it was a good Hequ horse.As a modern person, when driving a car, one foot of the gas pedal is one hundred yards, no matter how fast the horse is, can it pass the car faster?
Today, he didn't expect the horse to turn out like this. Wang Shen was a little surprised, and hurriedly said, "Xiao Er, please help me drink the horse. If there is good horse food, feed it. I will pay you later."

"Good!"

After a while, Xiao'er brought over a pot of hot wine and several dishes of cold kohlrabi, fried soybeans and pickled radish skins.

The wine is good, but the side dishes are a bit shabby.Wang Shen asked if there was any meat, Xiao Er showed a look of embarrassment, and replied, guest officer, where can I find meat in this deserted place?However, there are still a few strings of smoked frogs hanging in the kitchen. If you want them, bring them fried.

Wang Shen was overjoyed: "Of course I want it."

After drinking half a jug of wine, thinking of his own marriage, Wang Shen felt worried.

Yes, I am now a high-ranking officer in the Southern Song Dynasty military circle who started his teeth and built a mansion. According to the real history, after Yue Fei was appointed as an officer in Jiezhen, he first sent his wife and children to Hangzhou according to the imperial court system. Then he took the imperial edict to face the saint in Lin'an, and the imperial edict was right.If there is no accident, I will go through this process myself.

When Hunan is pacified, the imperial decree of Zhao Laojiu will come to Anlu.

If you are an ancient person who can afford it and let it go, isn't it just sending your wife to the capital, that's all.As a warlord, is there still a shortage of women?If you really have a mind, what if the court takes hostages?
But Wang Shen can't do it, he loves An Niang deeply, and he will never let her be wronged in the slightest.Not to mention that if something happens in the future, she will ignore her life and death.

It has to be said that the method Yan Yuemeng said earlier is the best countermeasure.

There are several advantages to this.

First of all, Miss Kong Er is just a passerby to Wang Shen.Even if she was taken hostage by the court, Zhao Gou would not be able to threaten her at all.

Secondly, didn't Kong Xian always want me to marry his sister?If you marry her, you can appease the hearts of the soldiers of the Kong family army who have taken refuge in you.

The third point is that with Miss Kong Er, An Niang doesn't have to go to Jiankang.

This man surnamed Meng has a very high IQ. He is a qualified counselor, and he is the most scarce talent for me.

The best of all three, why not do it?
But, unfortunately, even if Ms. Kong Er is willing, won't my conscience hurt if I send a weak woman into the tiger's mouth?

Moreover, how should I face An Niang in the future?

"Anniang, she will never be my concubine. This is an insult to her and the relationship between me and her."

In ancient times, especially in the Song Dynasty, the status of concubines was extremely low, just like slaves.Not to mention that the sons born have no inheritance rights, and have to be slaves for generations.

Moreover, dignitaries in the Song Dynasty had the habit of giving concubines to each other. In their minds, there was no difference between a concubine's room and objects.

As a modern person, I might not do this, but what should the world think of me and An Niang?
An Niang's temper looks gentle, but in fact she is extremely strong.As long as she dared to say this, she might go back and leave home immediately.

Is it because Yue Yun didn't work hard with Wang Shen?
"Where to go, this matter..." Wang Shen couldn't help sighing: "Zhiniang thief is really miserable!"

At this time, someone suddenly said: "The so-called sorrow is nothing more than greed, anger, ignorance, not getting what you want, resentment and hatred, and separation of love. The so-called sorrow is really self-attachment. Pity me. There are many sorrows. Pity me. There are so many worries!"
