Chapter 055
After a few days, Ye Hanxun had cleaned up all the military affairs on the front line, and the Southern Chu emperor, Rong Ze, also arrived in the southern border from the capital of Southern Chu.
Under the city wall in the southern border, a man slowly came down from the carriage. Without a doubt, it was Rong Ze, the emperor of Southern Chu. , the girl covered her face with a veil, although she couldn't see her face, but she could feel her graceful grace in a faintly visible way.
Rong Ze stepped forward and looked at Ye Hanxun, who had not taken off his armor, "I think this is General Ye who guards the southern border. He is indeed majestic and imposing. There seems to be a reason for Han Xiu to be defeated by you." Yes, although after the First World War, Southern Chu will completely surrender to you, but I have to say, as the emperor of Southern Chu, I hope that this matter will end as soon as possible. Han Xiu is warlike, and I myself Knowing that the strength is not enough, if things go on like this, the people of Southern Chu will live in dire straits, and Han Xiu's death will save the current difficulties of Southern Chu. It is a very good choice for Southern Chu to be able to attach to you Northern Zhou."
Ye Hanxun stared at the person in front of him, and said in a very flat voice: "It's better to wait until the emperor's capital to express loyalty to the Queen Mother and the Emperor."
Rong Ze said with a smile: "That's right. Since I've come, I can't be dishonest. What's more, after this battle, Nanchu really lost. Doing unnecessary struggles is a waste of time." It is better to stop the loss in time to stabilize the hearts of the people, otherwise, I am afraid that before your soldiers and horses are leveled, the people will rise up first and make a mess."
Ye Shuyan walked to his elder brother and said, "Brother, we have to set off."
Xiao Luochen looked at Ye Hanxun, "I'll leave it to you to finish the matter in the southern border, and we'll go back to the imperial capital first."
Ye Hanxun nodded, then glanced at Rong Ze, "If that's the case, let's set off immediately and get in the carriage first."
After saying this, when Rong Ze returned to the carriage, Ye Hanxun said to Xiao Luochen and Ye Shuyan, "Have you seen the woman standing next to Rong Ze?"
Ye Shuyan responded, "I see, who is she, and why did this Rong Ze take her to the imperial capital?"
"Rong Ze's younger sister, Rong Ge, Princess Nanchu, probably has other plans for taking her to the imperial capital." Ye Hanxun looked at Xiao Luochen, "At that time, Luo Chen, you have to take care of some things .”
How could Xiao Luochen fail to hear the reminder in Ye Hanxun's words, he responded, and then said to Ye Shuyan: "Xiao Shu, it's all right, it's time for us to get on the carriage."
"Yeah." Ye Shuyan responded, "Brother, let's go first."
Then, they got into the carriage and left from the southern border all the way.
Ye Shuyan and Xiao Luochen sat in the carriage together.
"Husband, just now big brother said that some things need to be carefully controlled, what do you mean?" Ye Shuyan thought for a while, and then asked Xiao Luochen.
"It's okay, it doesn't matter." Xiao Luochen said softly, "That Rong Ze took his own sister to the imperial capital together. If his guess is correct, he probably intends to choose a suitable husband-in-law for his sister."
"Choose a husband and son-in-law?" Ye Shuyan was surprised, "What the husband means is that although this Rong Ze agreed to bow down to us, he still wanted his sister to marry us for the sake of guarantee, didn't he?"
"It should be roughly correct, but what will happen specifically? After getting the imperial capital, Rong Ze will have an explanation after meeting the queen mother and the emperor." Xiao Luochen asked with a smile: "Why, Xiaoshu seems a little worried."
Ye Shuyan pursed his lips, "Of course, what if that Princess Nanchu takes a fancy to you and asks you to marry her!"
Xiao Luochen pulled Ye Shuyan into his arms, and said seriously: "This is impossible, even if she had such thoughts, she would not be able to be by my side. My princess is only Xiaoshu. It's impossible to be a side concubine, and it's even more impossible to take a concubine. Moreover, they are here to seek peace, so how could they be so inconsiderate."
Ye Shuyan leaned against Xiao Luochen's chest, raised his head, and looked at Xiao Luochen, "Really? In case, if she..."
"Don't think too much about Xiaoshu, no matter what you have, just leave it to your husband to take care of it, Xiaoshu doesn't have to worry about it." Xiao Luochen tightened his arms around Ye Shuyan, "It's okay, don't worry Just fine."
"Oh." Ye Shuyan replied, in fact, why did he worry about those things? After all, Nan Chu was defeated this time, and it was Nan Chu who asked for peace. They didn't have the final say, and Xiao Luochen wasn't something they could just climb up if they wanted to.
Xiao Luochen stared at the little guy nestled in his arms, and just smiled, and didn't go into details about these things.
……
Here, Rong Ze and Rong Ge are in the carriage. Rong Ge takes off the mask covering his face and looks at the people in front of him, "Brother Huang, do we really want to get married? Isn't it already agreed, as long as we ask for peace?" , To be a minister of Northern Zhou is to say that there is an explanation, and there is an alliance under the city, so are you afraid that such a big country as Northern Zhou will go back on its word?"
Rong Ze sighed deeply, and said: "It's not that I'm worried about them going back on their word, just as you said, as long as we surrender, under the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it will naturally be no problem, but, sister, you know, we stand in the Southern Zhou Dynasty. Chu, without the most direct support, I'm afraid it will be difficult to last long in the future, getting married is the best choice, do you understand?"
"Brother Huang is worried that even if we submit to Northern Zhou, the connection between Southern Chu and Northern Zhou is not close. Once there is another person like Han Xiu in the court of Southern Chu, this step will be considered in vain. The whole Southern Chu is ruined." Rong Ge said intently.
"What you're saying is that we took the initiative to seek peace. Now that we have reached this point, it is impossible to make the original situation worse."
"I understand what the emperor said." Rong Ge replied calmly.
Rong Ze took Rong Ge's hand and patted it lightly, "You just need to understand."
Rong Ge let out a long breath, and turned to say: "Brother Huang, but in this matter of getting married, what choice should we make?"
"If you can become the person next to the regent..."
"Prince Regent? Doesn't he already have a princess by his side, and as far as I know, their husband and wife are extremely harmonious. How could he let me, a foreigner, enter the Prince Regent's Palace?"
"It depends on human effort. The regent is the best choice. After trying it, let's talk."
"Well, I listen to Brother Huang." Rong Ge responded in a shallow voice.
……
Soon, the five-day journey from the southern border to the imperial capital had already arrived.
After arriving in the imperial capital, Xiao Luochen said to Ye Shuyan: "Xiaoshu, do you want to go to the Marquis's Mansion first? Or go directly to the Palace, send someone to tell your father-in-law and mother-in-law to go back and rest, and go tomorrow?"
Ye Shuyan looked at Xiao Luochen, "My husband is going to take them into the palace to meet the queen mother?"
"No, today they will be arranged to rest in the post house of the imperial capital, and they will go directly to the pilgrimage tomorrow morning. As for the follow-up matters, we will have to wait until the pilgrimage to see them."
"Then, husband and I?"
"Of course." Xiao Luochen replied, "I have already ordered Bai Yu to take them to the post house to settle down."
"In that case, let's go to the Marquis's Mansion first. I haven't seen my parents for almost two months." Ye Shuyan said with a smile.
The carriage turned around and arrived at the gate of the Marquis Mansion, and stopped.
The two of them got off the carriage and went straight into the mansion.
Ye Zhaoyan and Chen Shi came out from the inner courtyard immediately after the servants came in to pass on the message.
Seeing the two in front of him, Ye Shuyan stepped forward and called "Father and Mother", and Xiao Luochen also called "Father-in-law and Mother-in-law".
Ye Zhaoyan opened his mouth and said: "Although news from the southern border has been sent to the imperial capital, I still feel a little worried when I think about the war between the two armies. Now that you have both returned safely, our hearts are also at ease. gone."
Ye Shuyan walked up to his father, took his father's hand directly, and said with a smile: "Father, you see, I have come back safely, and going back to the southern border is like going back to my hometown, with my husband on the way. , the southern border is also under the management of the big brother, no matter what, it will not involve me."
"Yes yes yes, what you said is that it's good to come back safely, well, don't stand here for now, let's go into the room and sit down and talk." Chen said directly.
Several people went to the main hall and sat down. While drinking tea, Ye Zhaoyan asked: "I heard that Rong Ze, the emperor of Southern Chu, came to the imperial capital with you?"
"Yes, they have gone to the post house to settle down."
Mrs. Chen thought about it, and asked: "I heard that the princess of Nanchu also came here, do they have any plans, if..."
"Mother-in-law, don't worry, I will take care of these things, don't worry, they will come to Beijing this time, and they will be careful. How can they have wishful thinking? After all, the two of them are not like Han Xiu. people." Xiao Luochen said confidently.
Ye Zhaoyan smiled and said: "We just remind you, as long as you know it in your heart."
"Father, mother, my husband will take care of this matter." Ye Shuyan said slowly, "I haven't seen my father and mother for so long, let's not talk about those things, okay?"
"Okay, let's not talk about it, I'll go to the dining room first, and tell the dining room to prepare dinner. Since we're here, let's eat dinner together. If there's nothing to worry about, it's not too late to stay overnight and return to the palace tomorrow." Yes." Chen said as she got up.
Xiao Luochen immediately said: "Mother-in-law, I have to go to court tomorrow. Dinner is fine, but staying overnight will have to be another day."
"Okay." Chen agreed, then got up and walked out.
