Even the young prince, who was always very optimistic, was stunned. He first looked at the princess of Goryeo, and then looked up at the eldest princess Li, who was slowly approaching.
Outside Datong Pass, Shen Yuan, who had been entangled with Tatars several times but was not afraid, could not help but scratch his head.
Although Li Wanjun was from Korea, everyone in the Korean aristocracy at this time could speak Chinese. She looked at Li first, then at Shen Yuan, and said softly: "Little Marquis, who is this?"
The eldest princess raised her head slightly and said nothing.
Shen Yuanxin sighed and quickly introduced: "Princess Princess, this is our eldest princess of Dachen."
He paused and introduced to the eldest princess: "Your Highness, this is the Princess of Goryeo who has just arrived in Yanjing."
The eldest princess still didn't speak, but kept staring at Shen Yuan.
Li Wanjun also noticed something was wrong at this moment. She frowned at first, but she did not dare to offend the emperor's daughter in Yanjing, so she bowed to Shen Yuan and saluted: "Little Marquis, it seems that the eldest princess has something to say to you. He said, I will go back to my father first..."
After that, she turned around and left.
The young prince silently stretched out his hand, took her sleeve, shook his head and said: "No, the princess will just stay here. It just so happens that the eldest princess has just arrived in Yanjing, and she probably hasn't visited this garden much. We can go around together." change."
Li Wanjun looked back at the eldest princess, and then shook his head firmly: "Little Marquis, you should just talk."
After that, she broke away from Shen Yuan's hand and ran away quickly.
The young Marquis looked at Princess Goryeo who ran away with some astonishment.
The marriage between the two people has been decided, which means that this is his fiancée and there is no way he should leave at this time.
The young Marquis shook his head in confusion, glanced back subconsciously, and then froze on the spot.
Not far behind him, the eldest princess Li had tears streaming down her face.
"I originally thought..."
She wiped her tears with her sleeves and burst into tears: "You were forced by your father."
The young Marquis sighed and said, "Your Highness, let's go for a walk together."
…
"I am a person who likes freedom."
In the Imperial Garden, the young Marquis was sitting under the pavilion with the eldest princess. After he said this, he was silent for a long time, looked up at Li, and said: "When I was a child, the Queen often called me into the palace, and we were always together. Playing, at that time, it was certainly very happy to be happy, but every time before entering the palace, my mother would give me countless instructions to pay attention to the rules of the palace."
"Let me be careful not to hurt His Highness or other Highnesses."
The young Marquis sighed to himself: "Your Highness has been growing up in the palace since he was a child, and his status is noble. For Your Highness, everything is the same everywhere. But when I was eight or nine years old, I didn't really want to enter." The palace is over."
Li gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "You still have the nerve to mention this. In the entire Jiankang City, you were the most favored by my father. That year when my second brother knocked you to the ground, my father became furious and even beat you personally. he."
"That's because Your Majesty is being polite to me."
Shen Yuan said quietly: "It was the same when I was in Jiankang the year before last."
He looked up at Li and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the Queen has been hoping that the two of us can become a couple over the years, but does the Queen really like me? I'm afraid not. Let me put it boldly, the Queen wants to bring this couple together. This marriage is not because of me, let alone you, Your Highness."
"It's for the sake of the prince and the Sun family."
"If I become the consort, I will stay in the court for the rest of my life and will not be able to leave the capital."
The young Marquis did not finish his sentence.
That is, once he stays in the capital as the consort, he will become a kite string for the court to hold his father Shen Yi. He is not willing to stay in the capital, let alone become this string.
The eldest princess had tears in her eyes.
"fraud!"
"If my family were still in Jiankang, I would believe what you said. Now that our two families are in Yanjing, whoever you marry can escape Yanjing!"
Shen Yuan smiled and said nothing.
The eldest princess wiped her tears and gritted her teeth and said: "You heartless person, do you know how old we are this year?"
They are twenty-two years old.
I am already twenty-three years old.
The young marquis remained silent.
At this point, he did owe the eldest princess. Although he did not make the eldest princess wait, he did delay the girl.
"I know what you are thinking."
"If you don't like Princess Shgaoli, you have changed your mind a long time ago."
The eldest princess gritted her teeth: "Father told me that you and that woman named Su..."
Shen Yuan suddenly raised his head and looked at the eldest princess, his heart was shocked.
He originally thought that only his parents and family knew about this matter. Unexpectedly, it was impossible to hide it from His Majesty's eyes!
But as soon as his mind changed, he figured it out.
At that time, he was returning to the north from Jiankang, and he was probably followed by more masters of internal defense than the entourage of Marquis Shen's Mansion. All the piles along the way had probably been placed on the emperor's desk.
The eldest princess stood up and strode away. After taking a few steps, she looked back at the young marquis, with tears still in her eyes.
"I don't understand the twists and turns in your men's minds. I only know that you have no conscience!"
After that, the eldest princess wiped her tears and strode away.
Shen Yuan stood up and looked at the direction where the eldest princess was leaving, feeling a little uncomfortable.
After all, this was the hair of his serious childhood sweetheart, who had grown up together since childhood.
He still didn't move, and after a while, he sighed silently.
"If we meet outside the palace, I will marry you as my wife..."
…………
In the main hall, Mr. Shen and the King of Korea argued for a long time. Finally Mr. Shen stood up and said with finality: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, starting from next spring, we will dispatch ten thousand-household battalions from the Chen border army to station in Korea. The boundary between the country and Zhu Zhenren."
"In this way, Goryeo won't have to worry about Zhu Zhenren's intrusion. Even Shen expressed his gratitude to the King of Goryeo for borrowing the road, but..."
Mr. Shen touched his chin and continued: "However, because the army is sent from afar, supplies and food will not be transported for a while. The only way to do this is to have the Goryeo Kingdom be responsible for the daily food and wages of this army."
The King of Korea stood up. He first looked at the emperor, and when he saw that the emperor was smiling and did not express his position, he looked at Shen Yi, leaned forward and said: "Master Marquis, our two families are about to become in-laws, so there is no need to start this kind of marriage." It’s better to have a dispute. According to Xiao Wang, it’s better to put aside the dispute for the time being?”
"It's easy."
Mr. Shen looked calm and said: "After the two children get married, Quanzi will be the first commander of this army. After all, after getting married, he will be the king's son-in-law, and he will not be considered an outsider."
Having said this, he turned to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, I ask the court to make it possible for Quanzi to be the commander."
His Majesty the Emperor smiled and said: "Shen Yuan's rank has already surpassed that of the commander. Let him be the commander, but I still have to give in to him."
"In my opinion, I'll make him a general commander."
Mr. Shen bowed his head and thanked him, then turned to look at the King of Korea and said slowly: "Your Majesty, you also heard that I have spoken to His Majesty about this matter..."
"Is this settled?"
The King of Korea opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.
Some time ago, when Su Ding led his troops to borrow the passage from Goryeo, he had seen the combat effectiveness of the Huai'an Army. There were really 10,000 Huai'an troops stationed in Goryeo. Although it was unlikely that they would be able to capture Goryeo, they would definitely be able to occupy an area in Goryeo. Large area, calmly call for reinforcements!
In other words, the national destiny of Goryeo at that time was determined by the thought of Marquis Shen!
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lord Shen say slowly: "If your Majesty does not agree, if those Zhu Zhenren become ferocious and invade Goryeo, our Celestial Master may not be able to rescue them in time."
The King of Goryeo gritted his teeth, lowered his head and said: "Master Hou, Xiao Wang agreed to this matter, and this is the salary..."
Mr. Shen suddenly smiled and said with a smile.
"This is easy to talk about. We can talk about it slowly between our in-laws."
