Chapter 111 Hesitating (3)

Even though she is a very powerful woman in charge, even if she has a strong personality that is far beyond her reach, when facing this problem, the county lord Jingling can only rely on a female companion who lives with her day and night. But even if the two girls want to break their heads, how many ways can they come up with? Moreover, the county lord's only female companion may not fully agree with the county lord's opinion...
Waste... Waste? Oh, ah...Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, she sighed deeply from the bottom of her heart. Although the magistrate had a very high vision, she was not comparable to an ordinary woman in the boudoir, she casually called the handsome man who was famous all over the world, which made her unable to accept for a while.
"Prince of course, I have to continue thinking about the solution. When Lu Daoming was in Funiu Village, he refused your recruitment. This time he was so cold to you, so ignorant! Don't worry, we can definitely have a way. I can't escape your palm..." Ajue made a gesture of reaching out and holding his hands, taking a step back and taking off from the county lord's hands tightly shaking his collar. She looked at the county lord's face carefully, and confirmed that the county lord gradually calmed down, then he mustered up the courage to turn the topic slightly: "But, why do you hate the Wei family so much..."
Wei Jie, who was just mentioned by the county lord, was a son of the Wei clan in Hedong, the first-class Gaomen of the dynasty, and was the second son of Wei Heng, a famous minister. Wei Jie was known for his outstanding appearance. When he was in the throne, he rode in a sheep cart in the downtown area, which attracted a tide of viewers and called him "jade man". After Wei Jie became an adult, he became more and more elegant. Wang Ji, the uncle of Wei Jie, was the uncle of Wei Jie. After returning, he felt ashamed and praised Wei Jie as a pearl, which was bright and shiny. Wei Jie was not only outstanding in appearance, but also elegant in pure talk and proficient in metaphysics. He was a famous scholar who was admired by the people in the country. Wang Cheng, Wang Pingzi, who is currently the governor of Qingzhou, is also a famous scholar who is proud of his extraordinary talent. However, every time he heard Wei Jie's words, he sighed and said it was a rare thing. Therefore, people at that time said: "Wei Jie talks about the Tao, but Pingzi is absolutely defeated."
At this chaotic situation, the children of aristocratic families often devoted themselves to all parties and made plans to protect the family. Wei Jie's brother Wei Jie was appointed as the Minister of Sanqi, and was close to the former King of Yuzhang and the current emperor. In contrast, Wei Jie is currently the priest of the West Pavilion of the Grand Tutor. Although his official position is not special, he participated in many secret matters in the Donghai Shogunate. He was another highly valued rising star after the so-called "Three Talents of Yuefu", and his future is also limitless.
When King Donghai summoned Wei Jie and other close associates to discuss military and political affairs, the county lord often accompanied him. The young men and women occasionally had a conversation, which often made everyone here feel relaxed and happy. Since Wei Jie's wife Le's death was prematurely dead, the shogunate had recently suffered a stroke and his highness, King Donghai intended to betroth the county lord Jingling to Wei Jie. Many people thought that this was really a couple made in heaven and earth, and the family was even more similar.
Donghai King also thought that this marriage would definitely satisfy his daughter, so one day he vaguely mentioned this matter to the county lord, which meant to show his merits. Unexpectedly, the county lord was furious and refused with a rare tough attitude, which made Donghai King embarrassed on the spot. Donghai King was angry for a moment and said a few more words. As a result, the county lord's reaction became even more intense, so he simply left Luoyang and crossed the river to the north. Until now, seeing that several months have passed, there is no intention of returning.
The county lord is a proud daughter of heaven. Wei Jie is the most handsome man in the country and a famous scholar, and he is worthy of it. When Ajue entered and left the residence of the King of Donghai, he had seen Wei Jie several times. Although he did not know him well, he knew that he was indeed a famous man and was indeed a gentle gentleman as gentle as jade. The reason why the county lord rejected Wei Jie was so disgusted with him was that even Ajue, who had been with the county lord since childhood, did not understand at all.
Naturally, she did not dare to blame the county lord for his choice. At the request of the county lord, she even had to make plans and figure out how to attract Lu Daoming's attention. But deep in Ajue's heart, she always kept a 120-year-old puzzle: Why? Lu Daoming had saved the county lord and his life in Taihang Mountains, and was indeed extremely heroic... But no matter what, he was just a warrior after all, just a warrior who was born in the country and was very rebellious. How could he compare with the unparalleled Yulang? Alas, did Lu Daoming use some evil magic to confuse the county lord?
Ajue was thinking randomly, but he didn't notice that the county lord suddenly lowered his hands and stepped back step by step.
Every time she took a step back, the aphrodisiac expression that only cardamom girl had faded away, and the too real expression of emotional expression was restrained. When the Lord of Jingling sat down again, except for a pale complexion, she had returned to her usual demeanor and became the extraordinary demeanor and accustomed to manipulating power.
She asked lightly: "Ajue... It turns out that you actually think I should marry that Wei mediocre?"
This question sounded soft, but instantly shocked Ajue to death.
The county magistrate relaxed and wide sleeves, leaning lazily on the brocade elephant couch, and the silk ribbons on his clothes hang smoothly close to his body, inadvertently showing his slender and graceful figure. The gardens surrounded by flowers and trees contrasted with the beauty, and it looked like a picture scroll. But Ajue suddenly felt like he entered an ice cave. Even the breeze blowing outside the water pavilion sprayed the cold air from every pore around his body, almost frozen himself into an ice sculpture.
The Lord of Jingling County was one of the greatest helpers for His Highness of the King of Donghai to seize the central government. It not only had a huge influence on the Lord of Donghai, but also had a considerable force. Some people in the Luoyang court maliciously compared her with the deposed queen Jia Nanfeng. Although Ajue did not understand the major events of the court, over the years, he had witnessed with his own eyes that many people died and were destroyed because of the words of the Lord of Jingling County.
Ajue knew very well that the subtleties of the county lord's every move at this moment showed that she was suppressing her anger and would burst out at any time. Under the county lord's anger, she would never be safer than the candlestick jewelry that shattered everywhere in the water pavilion! The huge fear instantly grabbed Ajue's heart, making her fall down and tremble all over.
"You don't understand."
I don’t know how long it took, but the county lord’s voice came flutteringly. To Ajue’s surprise, there was no hidden anger in the county lord’s voice, but it was a bit exhausted: “You don’t understand why I treat Lu Daomingqing with eyes, so I will tell you… This may be related to personal friendship, but it is not just for this.”
"The father was born in the younger brother of Emperor Xuan and the Marquis of Dongwucheng. Strictly speaking, he had a distant relative with the imperial family of the Jin Dynasty, so he started his family as the commander of the cavalry. Later, he served in the Eastern Palace and was only the minister of the cavalry. He was appointed as the Minister of the Luoyang court with a low status. It was not until the first year of Yongping that he was appointed as the Marquis of Five Thousand Houses because he participated in the execution of the powerful Yang Jun. In the following years, he was granted the title of King of Kings, and he was only a fief of six counties. Compared with the place where the King of Chengdu was originally granted the fief of four counties, it was a world apart."
"In July of the first year of Yongxing, after the defeat of Dangyin, the King of Chengdu robbed the emperor to Yecheng, and his power was unparalleled. The army led by his father scattered and retreated to the East China Sea Kingdom, and was in panic all day long. After I fled from Luoyang, I gathered my subordinates alone and first went to Xia Pi to collect troops; then reached an alliance with King Langjia, conquered Xuzhou, and controlled Jianghuai; soon rushed westward and contacted Yuzhou and Jingzhou..." Speaking of this, the tone of Jingling County Lord was a hint of pride. Indeed, achieving such a career as a woman was a rare deed in history: "Relying on the foundation of the southeast half of the land, we have been integrating military and martial arts for several years, gathering together and joining the two, and deploying our uncles to defend important towns as a form of support. Only then can we have hundreds of thousands of troops, regaining the prestige, and finally welcoming the emperor back to Luoyang."
"Later, when my father talked about this experience, he always thought that success was almost the will of heaven and was worthy of fame in the country. Therefore, in recent years, he has contacted the famous scholars of the gentry many times, intending to use their reputation to stabilize the situation. In fact, the children of those families are advancing and enterprising, neither loyal nor talented." The Lord of Jingling County stood up and sneered: "My idea is different from everyone. I have been used to working on practice and will not be intimidated by false reputation. During the chaos in Bingzhou, I was in a mess and had to run between the poor mountains and dense forests. Therefore, I can see more clearly: Today, there are chaos, beacons everywhere on the frontier, and feathered edicts are endless, and the scene is like the chaotic times in the late Han Dynasty. At this time, what is the point of relying on those romantic celebrities who are powerless? Whether it is to plan major events or consolidate the court, you must rely on those strong soldiers and horses!"
Ajue asked softly: "So the county lord chose General Yingyang?"
"That's right! I have observed that Wei Jie, although his appearance is clear, only knows how to talk about the mystery and has no talent for economical use. At best, this generation is just a toy for people to watch, and it is not helpful to the times. However, Lu Yao and Lu Daoming, one is the family in the south and their achievements are lonely in the north; the other is that his official position starts from the smallest, and there is no aid in the center; and he is brave and good at fighting, and his military strength is strong enough to overwhelm Youzhou... Isn't this what the father needs most? If he has this man as his son-in-law and he has his place in Youzhou, wouldn't he be ten times more reliable than that of the king Pengzu?" The county lord's fair face showed bright red. She stared at the scenery outside the water pavilion and said softly: "Even if this man acts a little unruly, he is just a martial artist who does not know the nature of the world. If he gets married to him in the future, can't he be able to control him with my means?"
