Chapter 299 Li Dingguo Advises Marriage

Seeing Wang Huan's panic-stricken look filled with righteous indignation, Li Dingguo's face twitched a few times, as if he had used great perseverance to restrain his desire to laugh, then he licked his lips and secretly pinched his thigh , using the pain to forcibly restore his indifferent appearance, and whispered to Wang Huan: "My lord, please take the overall situation into consideration, and don't act emotionally."

Wang Huan was angry and didn't notice Li Dingguo's hidden smile. He punched the trunk of a banyan tree in front of him, causing the leaves to fall. He said angrily among the fallen leaves: "Miss me, Wang Huan, these past few years." , I dare not say that I am plotting to destroy the world, but I have always been the only one who plots against others, and no one can plot against me. Today, someone used my foster mother to blackmail me into marrying a wife. It was a plot by a woman, how can I feel so embarrassed?!"

Li Dingguo tried his best to make his face look as indignant as Wang Huan, but the indelible smile in his eyes had already betrayed him deeply. Looking at the young general soldier who was rampant in Sichuan and Shaanxi in front of him, he was majestic on the battlefield. On the other hand, at the moment when a woman made him jump, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

It turns out that adults also have nemesis, Li Dingguo was obsessed with it, and laughed secretly at the many grievances he had suffered from being defeated by Wang Huan over the years. I feel that Princess Changping is also the daughter of the royal family, and she sticks to the door regardless of face. There are many advantages to marrying the eldest princess."

"Huh?" Wang Huan's drowsy head became a little clearer, and he narrowed his eyes when he looked at Li Dingguo: "Let's listen carefully."

Li Dingguo said in a deep voice: "After marrying the princess, your lord is the emperor's son-in-law, and your relationship with the emperor will immediately change from an outsider to an in-law. As the saying goes, you don't avoid relatives when you are a virtuous person. If you are in the court, you will have the capital to live and live. It won't be like this, except for Wang Yingxiong, who has no roots and no foundation, like duckweed, and has nothing to rely on. Moreover, as a member of the royal family, he does things more legally. Damn it, the truth is the same.”

"The Ming Dynasty has been in power for hundreds of years. Although the fortune has been exhausted, the lingering charm is still there. The world regards the Zhu family as the orthodoxy and the Ming Dynasty as the country. The relationship between the Zhu family's children is indeed the right path. You are right." Wang Huan He touched and touched his chin, which had a little fluff on it, and agreed: "Please continue."

"Secondly, my lord has the world in mind, and Dingguo also feels it. No matter what path your lord takes in the future, Dingguo will definitely follow you to the end!" Li Dingguo slowed down his speech, and deliberately lowered his already low voice a little bit. , Said word by word: "But now, we must follow the example of Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, to accumulate food widely, become king slowly, keep a low profile, and make good use of the backing of the Ming court. The eldest princess and Emperor Yongli want to use the rope of marriage to tie the adults Serving your life for the Zhu family, why can't your lord use this rope to tie up more people instead?"

He took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and finally said: "Although the world is big, there are many heroes competing for the throne, but the time for adults to take the stage is not yet!"

Wang Huan's eyes lit up, Mao Sai suddenly opened, and he punched together with both fists and palms, and praised: "I have to fix the country, as if I have Kong Ming!"

Li Dingguo smiled modestly and said: "This is all superficial, my lord is just blind."

Wang Huan sighed: "Dingguo is thinking about Zhou Xiang, I have lost my mind. If there are such situations in the future, Dingguo must mention more."

Li Dingguo bowed his hands and said respectfully: "Dingguo is willing to die for your lord!"

"Okay, now, it's time for me to go back. When I came out, I wanted to get on my horse and go straight to Hanzhong. This way, it's unnecessary." Wang Huan wiped his hands on the tree trunk, and smiled awkwardly: "I have to go back and continue. Eat and drink, don't let people notice."

Li Dinghui followed behind him contentedly, as if they went out to go to a large toilet together, they returned to the hall step by step, everyone at the banquet was drinking red-faced, the atmosphere was lively, even Qin Liangyu, who was not feeling well, took advantage of the I was so happy that I drank a few cups of the tribute daughter's red, and a blush appeared on my pale face, adding countless joys.

The eunuch Wang Kun, the chief inspector of ceremonies, was sandwiched between two generals, Qin Yiming and Qin Gongming.Wang Kun's errands were done well, and he was very happy. Emperor Yongli won the Sichuan army. His excursion is considered a great achievement, and he will be rewarded when he returns. Maybe Emperor Yongli is in a good mood, and when he opens his mouth, he will restore the East Factory , It is not necessarily necessary to order yourself to be a factory owner.

Master of the factory, Wei Zhongxian is able to be nine thousand years old, and Dongchang has contributed a lot. If he can have such a spy force, it will be so majestic.

Wang Kun's eyes became blurred, half drunk, half lusted, as if the big nine-thousand-year-old hat was floating towards him in the air not far away.

As soon as Wang Huan returned to the hall, he immediately became the focus of everyone. There was an endless stream of people coming up to toast.

That night, in the yamen of the Shizhu Xuanwei Envoy, everyone was having a good time, and no one was unhappy.

But the next morning, Wang Huan woke up.

There are too many things in his heart, the matter of Princess Changping is just a small episode, and there are more big things waiting for him to attend to.

Ma Wannian and Li Dingguo led a team of personal guards and waited outside his room door. Judging from their appearance, they should have been waiting for a long time, squatting under the eaves and talking about something.

When Wang Huan opened the door, they both turned around and stood up.

"Your Excellency is awake." Ma Wannian greeted respectfully. He had long stopped treating Wang Huan as his peers. In his eyes, Wang Huan was already deified and omnipotent.

Wang Huan rubbed his head with a splitting headache and muttered, "Why is the wine in this era so good!" and walked into the courtyard.

Li Dingguo and Ma Wannian followed him and walked towards the courtyard gate. Wang Huan slept in the side room of the Xuanwei Shi Yamen, and outside the door was the large square in front of the Yamen. Dozens of healthy horses were waiting for them in the square.

"My lord, Li Huai'en is waiting at the military battle station. He heard that your lord is going today, so he specially prepared an all-nighter to let you see his results." Li Dingguo handed Wang Huan a few lotus leaf bags as he walked. This is Wang Huan's habit, and breakfast consists of a few steamed buns and boiled water.

Wang Huan took it and took a bite. The coarse-grain steamed bun was chewy, and the natural food was healthy and filling. Compared with the fine grains of later generations, although the taste was not good, it made Wang Huan, who had experienced the life of cannibalism in the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty It feels extraordinarily sweet.

"Okay, then don't delay, let's go." Wang Huan said inarticulately with steamed buns in his mouth, pressed the horse's back with one hand, jumped on the mount vigorously, clamped his legs, and galloped like flying out.

Dozens of cavalry guards followed, surrounded by Wang Huan, who was chewing steamed buns, roared out, and galloped away from the huge carved city tower of the Xuanwei Shisi, ran up the official road, and disappeared in a puff of smoke. .

No one has noticed that behind a flower window on the tower, Princess Changping's delicate face is hidden in it, and her eyes are full of excitement, staring at the white Confucian shirt that Wang Huan is wearing today. .

She held a steamed bun in her hand, which was about the same size as Wang Huan's, but it was already cold and as stiff as iron.

Princess Changping pulled the lever with one hand, and it took a long time to pull off a small piece. She opened her red lips lightly, put the small piece of steamed bun into her mouth, chewed it slowly a few times, then frowned slightly and stopped. down.

The maid beside her couldn't bear it. Although the princess didn't stretch out her hands to eat and open her mouth like a boudoir girl in a deep palace compound, she was used to simple food, but this kind of iron-like steamed bun was too low-level.

"Princess, my consort, only a military man can afford to eat such iron lumps. Princess, please don't be so mean." The maid said heartbrokenly.

"Shut up!" Princess Changping's expression changed and she said solemnly: "Is this really what Mr. Wang eats every day?"

"Yes." The maid was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down to answer: "The servant has inquired about the people in the Ministry of Comfort, whether the son-in-law is marching or fighting or resting at home, he eats and drinks like ordinary soldiers. Just like soldiers, even the servants who wait in the room are soldiers in the army, and there is not even a maidservant."

Standing in front of the window, Princess Changping shook her body slightly, rested for a while, her cheeks agitated again, tried her best to chew the steamed buns in her mouth, swallowed them hard, even though she was gasping for breath, she did not hesitate to do it again. Pull off a piece and send it to the mouth again.

In this way, it took her a long time to swallow the steamed bun in her hand.

A line of clear tears slid down her face and dripped onto the wooden floor.

"Father, there is hope for Ming Dynasty Zhongxing!" Princess Changping's thin shoulders trembled slightly, and a barely audible choked sound came out of her mouth, and along with the tears, they slowly hit the floor, as if falling into the heart The sweet nectar, aroused the ups and downs in Princess Changping's heart.
