Chapter 234: Chapter 234(1/2)
In her previous life, she didn't know whether this woman had any substantive relationship with Xiao Qiyu, but this woman had indeed become his personal person.
During the years when she gradually rose to prominence, every time she met Xiao Qiyu, he was always accompanied by a maid dressed in men's clothing. Everyone called him "Snow Girl".
It is said that she has been helping Xiao Qiyu take care of everything in the inner house. It was not until Xiao Qiyu married his concubine that the housekeeper's rights were handed over.
Thinking of this, Mu Yunjiang suddenly felt a knot in his heart.
She couldn't help but cast a resentful glance at the man next to her. There were really too many women who wanted to marry him. From now on, she would have to keep him from getting married, which was really annoying.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Qiyu noticed it immediately and felt that his wife's eyes suddenly became very unfriendly.
She said nothing and looked at the woman leading the dance. That's right, it was this woman.
After the song and dance, Emperor Liang applauded first: "Okay, you danced well. What's your name? Whose child is it?"
The woman leading the dance bowed respectfully, and Jiao Didi responded:
"The little girl's surname is Tong, and her double name is Xueshang. She is the daughter of Tong Lian, the former commander of the patrol camp. More than ten years ago, her father passed away, and Xueshang and Jiaci lived in seclusion at the border. Later, the family was invaded by evildoers and burned down. Fortunately,
I met His Highness the Third Highness, patrolling the city and helped us repel the evildoers.
"After this incident, Jia Ci died of illness, and Xueshang went to the capital to find relatives. Only then did she find out that her aunt had also passed away, and her uncle took her cousin and others to Jiayu Pass.
"When Xueshang was at a loss, she happened to meet the eldest princess. After the eldest princess learned about the little girl's situation, she took the little girl into the house, so that the little girl would no longer be homeless."
The causes and consequences are similar to what was said in the previous life.
Mu Yunjiang's eyelids jumped when he heard this, and he felt bad in his heart. The hand hanging under the case squeezed Xiao Qiyu's hand, squeezing it tighter and tighter.
This surprised him secretly: What is Ajaan so nervous about?
Emperor Liang was a little moved: "It turns out she is Commander Tong's beloved daughter, and it has been so many years. I never imagined that your mother and daughter's life would be so miserable."
Tong Xueshang knelt there and said, "Your Majesty, the pension you gave me back then was already very generous, so I had to let Jiaci drag this slave into adulthood."
Emperor Liang nodded: "But now that you have lost your mother, you must be alone. So, think about it, do you need anything from me to help you? As long as I can do it, you will get what you want.
.”
Tong Xueshang thought for a while, then shook her head and said gently: "I have nothing else to ask for. Being able to follow the eldest princess in the future is my greatest blessing."
Hearing this, Mu Yunjiang was stunned. He didn't ask for an order? Why did Tong Xueshang's mind change?
"That's fine. The eldest princess misses the past the most. She and your father are also old acquaintances. From now on, you can study hard with the eldest princess, and then ask the eldest princess to find you a son-in-law who can ride a dragon for you..."
Emperor Liang had great trust in her, his sister.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Tong Xueshang bowed again.
"Xue Shang, come on, come and stand next to me!" The eldest princess smiled and waved to her.
Tong Xueshang responded and walked up.
The Empress Dowager felt tired and immediately said: "Emperor, just stay with the children. Grandma is old and wants to sleep as soon as it gets dark, so I won't make trouble with you anymore."
Then there was a sound of congratulations from below.
After the Empress Dowager left, the princes and princesses began to send New Year gifts.
Prince Xiao Qizhou was the first to stand up and presented him with a structural diagram of the warship.
The emperor liked this gift very much - Da Liang has a navy, and if it has a navy, it needs warships, and warships need to be updated. In the drawings presented now, the warships are large, strong, and very
Very good.
What Xiao Dalangjun Xiao Qiheng presented was: ten high-quality stallions just sent from the north. For Daliang, improving horse breeds has always been their wish.
Xiao Erlangjun Xiao Qihenghe presented the new grain seeds that were just improved this year, hoping that the emperor could find a place to test the harvest.
The fifth prince, Xiao Qiling, presented a map of river dams that discharge floods. Every few years, floods occur in the south, so local dams need to be rebuilt.
What the Sixth Prince Xiao Qiyan presented was: a pair of jade unicorns... Although the carvings were extremely detailed and the jade stones were large, to the emperor, such things were most worthless.
The seventh prince, Xiao Qiyuan, has been disqualified from coming this year. Just because of Concubine De, he feels absolutely aggrieved for falling out of favor.
The eighth prince Xiao Qizhe came out and played a piece of music, and was praised by the emperor. For a child, such accomplishments are rare.
Xiao Qiyu has been staring at Yun Jiang, out of curiosity, she has not stood up to offer the gift, and she has no idea what her intention is.
At this moment, the eldest princess Xiao Jie came to make trouble again and shouted loudly:
"King Jingbei, all your brothers have presented gifts today. Why haven't you and your husband come forward to offer gifts? Although there is no express requirement for every prince to offer gifts in the New Year, out of filial piety as a son of man,
, you should also be prepared... etiquette is not important, the intention is the most important... You are the eldest among all the princes, if you lose etiquette, it will not sound good if it is spread!"
The eldest princess just wanted to say something thorny, hoping to sow some trouble in the emperor's heart.
If the emperor happens to want to punish Xiao Qiyu one day, he can take the opportunity to scold him - he is really too bad.
Xiao Qiyu stood up, helped Mu Yunjiang up, bowed and replied: "Back to the eldest princess, back to my father, regarding the gift, I am also waiting for the bride to take action. Ajiang said that today, she will
I’m going to offer a gift that will satisfy my father, but I’m hiding it even from my son, who is also looking forward to it... Ajaan, you can take it out now..."
The look in his eyes when he looked at Mu Yunjiang was extremely tender.
Mu Yunjiang quickly responded with a smile: "Father, I have indeed prepared a gift. Xiaoxiao..." She waved to her maid.
Xiaoxiao stepped forward and presented a rectangular brocade box. The box was covered with a layer of red velvet.
Mu Yunjiang took it, checked it, came to the imperial chariot, knelt down and offered it to him: "Father, this is a book of war compiled by the King of War a thousand years ago. I got it when I traveled around the world, but because of
The writing was incomprehensible and I couldn't understand what it said. I kept it on the bottom of the box.
"When I came to Beijing this time, I wanted to find someone who knew the Polo script and study these words carefully. Unfortunately, I had no chance of recognizing those knowledgeable people, so I could only keep it.
"That day when the prince said that he wanted to present a gift, I thought of this military book. I thought that with all the talented people in Daliang, I would be able to translate it. I present it to you today. I hope that from now on, I in Daliang will be able to rely on this book to make a lasting contribution.
If you consolidate the country, you can unify the world and gain a foundation for eternity..."
When Emperor Liang Xiao Li was looking at the brocade box, he was sitting very sluggishly. When he heard the last word, his eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly sat up straight and shouted: "Hurry up and bring it up."
Gao Huan personally came down and presented the military book.
Emperor Liang took it and opened the brocade box. There was a book inside.
There are some incomprehensible words written on the black cover. The King of Soldiers is not a native. He is a sin slave who escaped from Xizhou Continent and worked as a slave in Dongzhou. But the slave is very powerful.
, and actually became the King of Soldiers step by step.
Later, he led people to unify Dongzhou Continent, but because of his great achievements, he was feared by the emperor, so he could only remove his armor and return to his fields, and wrote this book in his later years.
He really wanted his strategy to be passed down to the world, but he was also afraid that the book would fall into the wrong hands, so he wrote it in the mysterious language of Xizhou Continent. In this way, even if the book fell into the hands of the wrong people and they couldn't understand the words, it would still be the same.
It's a piece of waste paper.
After the death of King Bing, this book was fought for, and then it disappeared.
For military strategists, this is a big loss.
It has been a thousand years, but I never thought that this book could actually reappear in the world.
Emperor Liang looked at it and saw that the paper was not paper, but sheepskin, and the ink was also specially made. Therefore, after a thousand years, it was still as bright as new.
Other people will definitely not recognize this kind of characters when they see them, but Emperor Liang knows them. He once learned some Xizhou languages. However, he can recognize them individually, but when all the characters are put together, it is a bit difficult to understand.
.
Without in-depth study of things like language, we cannot fully understand its profound meaning.
Emperor Liang immediately thought of the most knowledgeable gentleman in the court, "Here, please come over, Mr. Boda..."
Naboda is a scholar who knows the languages of two continents. On weekdays, Mr. Naboda works in the library of the palace, translating various languages.
Emperor Liang looked at this little woman, curious as to why she had such a priceless thing in her hands.
"Where did you get this?"
"Back to my father, when I was young, because I was poor, I once robbed the tomb with my master. This military book was a burial object in the tomb of a scholar."
Mu Yunjiang told the truth.
But this origin made the eldest princess's face change suddenly: "Mu Yunjiang, you are so bold. Today is the 30th of the New Year, and you actually presented the things you took out from the cemetery to the emperor. What crime do you deserve?
"
Tsk, this eldest princess can really use anything as a weapon to convict people.
Mu Yunjiang immediately kowtowed and said: "It is easy for ancient treasures to be buried with powerful people. If something is taken from the tomb, it should be destroyed. All the treasures in this world should be destroyed. Father,
If you think this thing is unlucky, I am willing to take the blame..."
"What's the crime? Sister Huang, don't scare the children. It's a great blessing to be able to find this kind of thing."
Emperor Liang naturally didn't care about this.
The eldest princess was very helpless: "Your Majesty, it is not certain whether this is the relic of the King of War... You must not be fooled by it."
She just couldn't bear it, and this damn girl made meritorious service in front of the emperor again.
However, Emperor Liang felt that this should be true, "Don't worry, Bo Da will verify whether it is true or not... King Jingbei, Princess Jingbei, please go back and sit down..."
To be continued...
