Chapter 763: Recognizing the Righteous Daughter, Queen Xia
Chapter 763: Recognizing the adopted daughter, Queen Xia
"In addition, I heard that Prime Minister Zhang is here, and I hope that Master Shao will lead the way so that the general can go and see him!"
These soldiers are all Zhang Jun's subordinates, so they should pay homage to him!
"Easy to say!"
Shao Xun saw that the general was firm in his words, so he did not force it. However, he ordered the servants at home to bring out all the best wine, food and drinks to entertain the soldiers. He even personally took out a thick stack of
Banknote, thanks to General Zeng.
"Madam, you go to the back house to settle down first. I will take Mu Yu and General Zeng to meet with Prime Minister Zhang!"
After entering the house, Shao Xun gave an explanation to his wife, and then led Shao Muyu and the black-armored general towards the place where Zhang Jun was.
"The last general, Zeng Guang, pays homage to Prime Minister Zhang!"
After entering the hall, the black-armored general knelt down and prostrated!
"Zeng Guang?
I remember you! When you were a soldier, you made the history of command by killing thousands of captains in the Kingdom of Jin! Then you have been following Li Xianzhong! In the Northern Expedition, you took the lead in several battles and were promoted to Yajiang! Are you right?"
Zhang Jun smiled.
"It's the last general!"
Zeng Guang said with some excitement.
For these soldiers, Zhang Jun is their idol, and it is naturally a happy thing to be remembered by the idol.
"This time, General Li was ordered by General Li Xianzhong to escort the Shao family back.
Therefore, come and see Prime Minister Zhang!”
Zeng Guang continued.
"Um!"
Zhang Jun nodded, "This time His Majesty personally proposes marriage, but it is no small matter.
Li Xianzhong is also interested! In addition, you have been following Li Xianzhong to garrison in Sizhou, do you know what Li Xianzhong has in mind?"
Zeng Guang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "Sizhou is a strategic location in Shandong. Prime Minister Zhang handed Sizhou over to the general, and the general naturally put all his efforts into garrisoning it! As for the rest, the general doesn't know!"
"Hahaha..." Zhang Jun laughed loudly, "I'm afraid, Li Xianzhong can't sit still for a long time! In this entire battle of Chengdu Mansion, there is no room for him to take action.
When you get back, tell him that I am going to recommend him to go to Chengdu, but I don't know if he is willing."
"this……"
Zeng Guang hesitated for a moment, then asked carefully, "Prime Minister Zhang, isn't the war in Chengdu now over?
The Tibetan soldiers and horses have also surrendered to General Shen Tang! If General Li Xianzhong goes, will he still be stationed?"
Zhang Jun shook his head, "You only need to tell me what I said about this matter! As for the rest, you don't need to say more."
"The general will obey your orders!"
Afterwards, Zeng resigned and left! Shao Xun led Shao Muyu forward, and then, Shao Muyu gave a slight blessing, saluted Zhang Jun and said, "Muyu, the daughter of the Shao family, has met Zhang Xiang!"
Zhang Jun's eyes fell on Shao Muyu, and then he said with a smile, "Yes, that boy Shen Tang is really lucky to be able to find a good match like you! I have long heard that if there are girls in the Shao family, they will not be inferior to men.
, most of the Shao family's business is in your hands.
Now that I see him, he actually looks a bit heroic!"
"Zhang Xiangmiu praised it!"
Shao Muyu said humbly that if she faced other people, she could still be a little proud, but facing such a big boss of the court, she did not dare to be a little presumptuous.
"Sit down! This is your home. If you are so polite, wouldn't it mean that I am occupying a magpie's nest?"
Zhang Jun said with a chuckle.
When the father and daughter sat down, Zhang Jun spoke again, "Back then, I recognized Liu Xiangling, Shen Tang's wife, as my adopted daughter. Naturally, I cannot treat you favorably. Therefore, I want to treat you as my adopted daughter as well. I don't know. Are you willing?"
As soon as these words came out, the Shao family father and daughter were immediately stunned!
Although the Shao family has some reputation, compared with big bosses like Zhang Jun, it is a world of difference! Being able to recognize a foster father like Zhang Jun has endless benefits for the Shao family! It can be said that the Shao family is indeed So high.
"My daughter meets her adoptive father!"
Shao Muyu didn't hesitate for long and immediately stood up to salute!
When Shao Xun saw this, he was immediately overjoyed! It is simply unimaginable that his daughter could recognize such a marriage! The Shao family will also benefit a lot!
"Hahaha... Yes, I have no children in my life. I thought I would be lonely until old age. Unexpectedly, I am about to be buried, but I can take in you and Xiangling's two adopted daughters. In this way, I can also It’s a death without regrets!”
"I don't bother to pay attention to those complicated etiquettes. Since you admit it, just give me a cup of tea!"
Shao Muyu didn't respond, so he immediately stood up and poured a bowl of tea, "My daughter, Muyu, serve tea to your adoptive father!"
"good!"
Zhang Jun drank it all in one gulp, and then took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Shao Muyu, "This is the jade pendant that I carry with me. I give it to you as a gift! If you encounter any trouble in the future, this jade pendant can also be used." Help you!"
Shao Muyu took it in his hand respectfully and saw the word "Zhang" engraved on the jade pendant, which was obviously Zhang Jun's personal belongings.
Today, the reason why Zhang Jun recognized his daughter was certainly not a whim! The marriage between Shen Tang and Shao Muyu was definitely a big help to Shen Tang, whether it was the Shao family's business network or the Shao family's wealth. All of these can give Shen Tang greater confidence.
However, there was a flaw in that the Shao family's status was not high enough, even if the emperor had made Shao Xun a court minister.
And he, Zhang Jun, just adds some weight to the Shao family, and can be regarded as indirectly helping Shen Tang.
There are more than ten palaces in the inner courtyard of Lin'an City Palace! Among them, Ciyuan Palace is where the queen lives!
Zhao Shen did not have many concubines. After the death of Queen Cheng Mu, the virtuous concubine Xia was named queen. In addition, there were only four concubines with rank, and there were a total of 17 concubines without rank in the harem. .
Because the imperial palace in the Southern Song Dynasty was not large and the palaces were limited.
Therefore, except for the queen who has a separate palace, the other concubines basically live in buildings connected to the emperor's palace.
In Ciyuan Hall, the emperor and empress sat opposite each other.
Although the Xia family had nothing to do, Zhao Shen was quite satisfied with the queen.
"See your majesty, empress! The princess has arrived."
A slave saluted respectfully.
"oh?
We are finally back! Let the princess come in quickly!"
Zhao Shen said with a bit of joy.
Not long after, Zhao Ling entered the palace under the guidance of his servants.
"Meet Your Majesty, meet the Queen!"
If only facing Zhao Shen, Zhao Ling would not be restrained, but facing the queen, Zhao Ling would be strict and never be rude at all! However, Xia was also a smart person, and she stood up on her own initiative before Zhao Shen could speak. He also supported Zhao Ling, saying, "Sister, why should I be so polite? We are all part of the same family!"
"Sit down! Your Majesty said you went to Lianli City?
You must have worked hard all the way back! I asked them to prepare tea and snacks, please eat some first and rest for a while."
