General Wang won the battle, Rong Zhan won the third prize, and the wedding of Rong Zhan and Huangfu Chuchu was scheduled for June.
For the Huangfu family, it was a triple blessing.
However, the first joy was the one they paid the least attention to. General Wang had never suffered a defeat in his army for decades, and the reason why he captured Western Xinjiang so quickly this time was because the Ning family army in Western Xinjiang surrendered in advance.
It was a war, rather it was a thunderous punishment from Dongyou to Xijiang.
When the strength was completely unequal, winning the battle was not something he could be proud of. On the contrary, Rong Zhan won the third prize, which made him even more happy. That night, Huangfu's family held a grand family banquet to celebrate Rong Zhan, and directly made a decision.
He married Chu Chu.
At the family banquet, Huangfu Chuchu rarely showed a little bit of the coquettishness of her younger daughter. Listening to her father and eldest brother talking in turn, Mrs. Huangfu's words were quite melancholy: "When my daughter is raised, she will eventually be taken away by others."
Huangfu Chuchu smiled shyly and said: "Rong Zhan is not a stranger. People say that half a son-in-law is a son-in-law, but Rong Zhan is a real half-son. After we get married, we will still come back often, not to mention that the house my eldest brother bought for us is not far away.
It’s far away, and we can move around as neighbors in the future.”
"You don't have to come back often." Huangfu Lingfeng waved his hand, "The water thrown by the married daughter——"
"Brother." Huangfu Chuchu frowned, "Are you annoyed?"
"Okay, don't tease your sister." Mrs. Huangfu favored her daughter openly, "Rong Zhan will be considered a member of the court after he enters the court. Chu Chu, you must pay attention to your behavior in the future, and you can't be the same as before you got married.
, A virtuous wife brings few disasters to her husband.”
Huangfu Chuchu curled his lips: "When a daughter gets married, her parents tell her son-in-law to treat his wife well and never let her down. My mother, on the other hand, keeps teaching me -"
"Nonsense, does Rong Zhan dare to betray you?" Huangfu Chuchu said angrily, "If he dares to betray you, your eldest brother will be the first one not to spare him."
Rong Zhan nodded: "Mother is right."
Huangfu Chuchu glared at him angrily: "What's right?"
Rong Zhan pursed his lips and smiled, with the joy of realizing his long-cherished wish hidden in his eyes. The more he looked at her, the cuter she became, even the way she stared at him made people want to stop.
"You need to be careful in your words and deeds after becoming an official." Huangfu Liyuan finally spoke. The majesty of the head of the family made everyone quiet down, "The prominence of the general's palace has reached its peak. You must not act recklessly after entering the court.
If you are proud and complacent, you should always be humble and low-key, and learn a lot from the seniors in the court in everything, do you understand?"
Rong Zhan stood up and listened respectfully: "Yes, Rong Zhan will remember it carefully and will never be proud or self-righteous."
"The more humble you are, the more others will respect you." Huangfu Liyuan said calmly, "Even if they only care about the name of the General and the Palace, they will not bully you as a newcomer. However, once you rely on the power of the Palace to dominate the world,
Even if you give people the impression of being arrogant, it will not do you or the palace any good."
"yes."
"The same goes for Ling Feng." Huangfu Liyuan turned to look at his son, "Before you join the court or serve as an official, you can just do whatever you want. If you are given a heavy responsibility by the emperor in the future, you must be careful in your words and deeds, and everything should be based on imperial power.
, nothing that goes beyond the rules or disrespects the holy will is allowed to happen, do you hear me?"
"Father, don't worry, I know what to do." Huangfu Lingfeng nodded.
In the past when Emperor Wu was on the throne, his father and he fought together in the world. In addition to military achievements, the friendship between monarch and ministers was also incomprehensible to others. As for Huangfu Lingfeng, a junior, Emperor Wu was willing to indulge him because he was broad-minded.
But now that the newly enthroned emperor is the same generation as Huangfu Lingfeng, it would be a bit outrageous if the monarch and his ministers continue to be unbridled, and it will inevitably leave people with the excuse to take credit and be arrogant.
"Sit down." Huangfu Liyuan said nothing more, "Eat."
The Huangfu family has always been like this, everything is done to the point, and if you understand it, you understand it. If you don't understand it, you don't need to teach it earnestly, and it's useless to teach it.
The weather was already very hot in May, and even hotter in June.
But when it comes to weddings, it’s time to take advantage of the heat. On the day of the wedding, guests at Rong Zhan’s house gathered. Yes, even though Rong Zhan was just a little girl, the emperor ordered him to join the Ministry of Etiquette and become a little concubine.
, but now he is the head of the family.
No matter who the officials in the court were talking about, it was always very lively. The emperor also ordered people to give out many rewards. For a while, the limelight completely overshadowed the number one and second place candidates.
After the palace examination, some new students who entered the court were assigned to various ministries for training. The low-key Zhuangyuan Lang and Xi Feng were assigned to the imperial study room to serve as the emperor's attendants. The students who entered the court in the previous session were transferred to various parts of Western Xinjiang.
, either as county magistrate, state magistrate, or chief registrar.
Whether the weather is hot or not, it does not affect the busy life of the DPRK at all.
In order to successfully set off for Dayong in the spring after the New Year, Sicang and Yun Zishu were very busy every day, getting up before dawn in the morning and going to bed late at night.
There are countless folds to be approved every day, and decrees are issued every day.
He was busy like this until August, when Feng Ci led the new army under his command to station at the border. He led dozens of personal guards to the imperial city alone and asked to see Emperor Dongyou.
After entering the palace, he first made a formal ceremony, congratulated the emperor on his enthronement, respectfully asked the empress to give her a blessing, and finally detailed the details of the military training.
"Before I came here, I had written a letter to my father, informing him that I would lead troops to escort Yun Chen back to Dayong, and my father would also lead the Feng family's army to fight back to the capital." Feng Ci lowered his eyebrows, "He will do anything without permission.
Moving troops is a crime of treason, so the Fanfeng family has no other way out."
Yun Zishu looked at Feng Ci.
After one and a half years of military training in Qihuang Mountain, Feng Ci was no longer the gentle and elegant young master he was back then. Instead, he lost his image of being weak and weak, and completely grew into a military commander.
The robe was replaced by a military uniform, the skin was no longer so fair, but tanned to a wheat color, and the elegant eyebrows were a little sharper, like an unsheathed sword.
"I haven't seen you for a year and a half, and I feel like I've been completely transformed." She smiled faintly, "She's very impressive."
Feng Ci bowed: "Thank you Queen for your compliment."
"I am determined to go back this time. Not to mention that the Feng family has no way out, I have no intention of leaving a way out for myself." Yun Zishu said calmly, "So you can rest assured and make all preparations."
"yes."
"You have come all the way, so you should stay in the imperial city to rest for two days." Yun Zishu said, "I will pack your bags and get ready in the next two days, and then I will ask Yun Chen to go back with you."
After a pause, he said, "Remember, drive slower and don't rush. Yun Chen is weak and it's autumn and winter. For the sake of his health, he should rest as much as he should. If he has a cold, he should take medicine.
Take good medicine and extend the journey to four months."
Feng Ci understood what she meant: "Yes, I know what to do."
