"PS: I heard some book friends say they don't like Qin Shaojun, which hit the author hard. Originally, the author wanted to create a female hero, but somehow it ended up like this. It is said that other female characters in this book also failed to be created.
, so sad. In fact, book friends who have read "The Wife is the Shogun" should
You all know that the author's description of female characters is okay. Is it because the author has regressed? Or is it that male characters and female characters cannot coexist? Well, no matter what, I can only try to make up for it now. Book friends please first
Don’t hate the heroine in the article, it’s all the author’s favorite settings.」
————The following text————
"Pfft~hahahahaha——"
Seeing Zhao Hongrun looking at Qin Shaojun with an expression that was almost horrified, Qin Shaojun was confused at first, and then stared back at Zhao Hongrun with shame and anger. Princess Yulong couldn't help but laugh beside her. She was out of breath from laughing and didn't even care about her appearance.
Up.
After laughing for a while, Princess Yulong wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, then held her stomach and said happily: "Hongrun, the look in your eyes... Hahaha, I know, are you thinking about Long Yang?"
How good is it? I heard it’s quite popular over there in Qi State…”
Seeing Princess Yulong smiling so exaggeratedly, how could Zhao Hongrun not notice something strange? He frowned and asked Qin Shaojun with a complex expression: "Are you... a girl?"
Qin Shaojun hesitated for a moment and did not speak, but nodded slightly with a reddish face.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun suddenly had memories of his previous contact with Qin Shaojun, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
For example, when they were hunting together in Chenggao, he once pinched Qin Shaojun's arm. Well, what's the point of a man pinching a man's arm? However, Qin Shaojun looked embarrassed and annoyed at that time. If his sword hadn't been taken by Zhao Hongrun at that time,
He grabbed it, as if he wanted to draw his sword and chop him down.
It turns out that Qin Shaojun is a girl, which makes sense.
"...But how can the young king of Qin be born as a girl?"
Zhao Hongrun frowned and looked at Qin Shaojun. As far as he knew, the young prince of Qin State was equivalent to the crown prince, just like the prince of Wei State. How could there be any reason that the crown prince was born as a girl?
Seeing Zhao Hongrun looking at him with a complicated expression, Qin Shaojun was inevitably a little panicked. After calming down, he explained: "When my father succeeded to the throne, he had no heirs. This caused uneasiness and ambition among the officials in the country..."
Zhao Hongrun nodded slightly.
He also understands this truth. In fact, this is not only true in Qin, but also in the Central Plains: a king without heirs will make his ministers feel uneasy to some extent.
"...When I was born, there was only one eldest brother, who was four years older than me. However, this eldest brother accidentally fell off the cliff when he was climbing a mountain to catch birds when he was six years old...My father then discussed with my mother and let me
A woman disguises herself as a man, becomes the crown prince, and stabilizes the situation in the country..." Qin Shaojun said with a slight sigh.
Listening to Qin Shaojun's story, Zhao Hongrun gradually understood King Qin's plan when he returned: first, let the princess pretend to be a man and make her the crown prince. In this way, he could dispel the ideas of those ambitious people who coveted the throne of King Qin; and then King Qin here
He will work hard with his queen and other women to have another son.
Therefore, in a sense, Qin Shaojun is equivalent to him, no, he is a "transition" and a victim before her brothers inherit the throne of the crown prince. Perhaps this is the real reason why King Qin loves Qin Shaojun very much.
After Qin Shaojun, the King of Qin did not have any heirs, but unfortunately, the living conditions here in Qin were too bad, and medical skills were still at the level of witch doctors. If someone was sick and still used "exorcism" to cure them, this would This makes the children of Qin people have a very high mortality rate. Just like Qin Shaojun, she had three brothers who unfortunately died at a young age.
This resulted in Qin Shaojun, who was obviously a girl, but had to dress up as a man for many years, learning the talents and skills that a prince should master like an ordinary heir of a king.
The saddest thing is that she learned this knowledge just to deceive others and pave the way for her younger brothers. In fact, she cannot inherit the throne when she grows up like a real prince.
The real crown prince will be her brother.
Yes, I remember that when we were hunting together in Chenggao five years ago, Zhao Hongrun heard Qin Shaojun mention that she had a brother who was nine years younger than her. The point of their conversation at that time was that they both had a brother.
As far as Zhao Hongrun knew, Qin Shaojun's younger brother almost died when he was young but survived tenaciously in the end, but because of this, his health was somewhat weak.
When the younger brother was mentioned at that time, Qin Shaojun's behavior was a little inconsistent, and he faintly revealed his jealousy, rejection and helplessness towards his younger brother. Therefore, at that time, Zhao Hongrun thought that the two brothers were not in harmony, so he put forward many suggestions - maybe Zhao Hong, the king of Huan, From Xuan's point of view, it was just a history of blood and tears that he suffered from being bullied by his elder brother.
At that time, Zhao Hongrun really didn't expect that Qin Shaojun and her brother would have such a complicated relationship.
But right now, it is not the time to delve into the relationship between Qin Shaojun and her brother. The top priority is to promote a "Qin-Wei peace" or even a "Qin-Wei alliance".
However, in order to facilitate this matter, there is no way around this one point: marriage.
Judging from the current relationship between Qin and Wei, only through marriage can the various conflicts and antagonisms between the two countries be alleviated and mutual friendship re-established.
Qin Shaojun blushed slightly at first, but when she saw Zhao Hongrun frowning, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes, and she shook her head slightly.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun glanced at Princess Yulong and already guessed something.
He stretched out his hand to Princess Yulong and said: "Yulong, give me the letter that my father asked you to forward to me."
"What Yulong? You are younger than me..." Princess Yulong muttered in protest, but still obediently took out a wooden box from the bag next to her, took out a letter from the box, and handed it to Zhao Hongrun. .
Maybe deep down in her heart, Zhao Hongrun, the younger brother, may have become an eldest brother, so she only dared to protest in a low voice, but she didn't dare not listen.
Taking the letter from Princess Yulong, Zhao Hongrun opened it and looked at it. Just seeing the first line of words, his eyelids jumped twice, and there was an inexplicable sneer on his face.
It turns out that his father, Emperor Wei, wrote this in the first line: Were you shocked when you saw Yulong?
anger!
Zhao Hongrun clenched the letter and felt his heart getting angry: How long has it been, and the old man still had nothing to do to provoke him.
Later, after a few sentences of daily ridicule and ridicule, the words used by Emperor Wei Zhao Yuanxi in the letter gradually became serious, and the topic gradually involved business matters.
In his letter, he praised Zhao Hongrun's achievements in "Sanchuan" and "Qin", and also objectively criticized the "fall of Hedong". In general, Zhao Hongrun's "merits outweighed his faults."
Then, in his letter, Emperor Wei Zhao Yuansi roughly described the situation of both the "Hanoi battlefield" and the "Song battlefield". Generally speaking, although the situation on the Song battlefield seemed to be that the Wei army was defeated, in fact
, not yet taken off
The predictions of Zhao Yuanji, the king of Li Yu. In contrast, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang who was in charge of the Hanoi battlefield, really couldn't hold on. Under the pressure of several Korean troops step by step, he fought and retreated, so that
Most of the entire Hanoi County has been lost.
In fact, the Korean army was already trying to cross the river to attack Puyang of the Wei Kingdom, causing the Wei people to panic.
Then, there was a long speech by Wei Emperor Zhao Yuancai, which was intended to make Zhao Hongrun understand that based on the current situation of Wei, only by winning over Qin as an ally can the armies of Han and Chu be driven out as much as possible.
Reduce Wei’s domestic losses.
However, when Zhao Hongrun read the last paragraph, he became angry again because his father asked him to choose: either marry Qin Shaojun who took off his men's clothes and put on women's clothes, or let Princess Yulong marry Qin Shaojun.
In any case, the "good relationship between Wei and Qin" is already destined. Du You, the Minister of Rites, has written this matter into the draft agreement of "Wei Qin Alliance".
"That's it again!"
Zhao Hongrun was so angry that he tore his father's letter into pieces angrily.
Seeing Zhao Hongrun's irritable side for the first time, Qin Shaojun was startled. At this time, Princess Yulong whispered in her ear: "You see, Hongrun's temper is far from as good as you said, this time
If I hadn't delivered the letter, the person delivering the letter might have been beaten..."
After hearing this, Qin Shaojun looked at Zhao Hongrun with incredible eyes.
In fact, when she was in Daliang, she had already heard some negative news about Zhao Hongrun. For example, Zhao Hongrun once kicked Chao Wendong, the official of the General's Mansion, into a canal.
Considering Chao Wendong's status in the Wei State, and at least the noble status of Da Shangzao in the Qin State, it is difficult to imagine that such a powerful person would be kicked down the canal by Zhao Hongrun in public, and his face would be greatly damaged.
At least, Qin Shaojun would never do such a thing.
"Hongrun, what do you think? Don't leave me alone." Princess Yulong glanced at Zhao Hongrun, then put her finger on Qin Shaojun's chin and lifted it gently, then said with a smile: "If you refuse to marry
This beauty, I wouldn’t mind marrying her and becoming the Crown Princess of Qin..."
Perhaps because he didn't expect to be teased by Princess Yulong, Qin Shaojun's face froze, his whole body tensed, and his expression was indescribably embarrassed.
At this moment, she looked at Princess Yulong with the same strange look as when Zhao Hongrun looked at her just now.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun also showed a look of shame.
Yulong, this quiet and lovely princess when they first met, was really taught bad things by Uncle Liu Wang (Zhao Yuanli)...
Inadvertently, Zhao Hongrun thought of the late Sixth Prince Zhao Yuanli, so much so that he suddenly became cold when he saw Princess Yulong's expression with a wry smile after the interaction with Qin Shaojun.
Yes, in his heart, the Qin people were also one of the murderers who "forced death" his uncle Liu Wang!
Thinking of this, he said coldly: "Qin does not have a crown prince, only a concubine."
Princess Yulong was stunned when she heard this, and subconsciously glanced at Qin Shaojun, only to see the latter lowering his eyelids expressionlessly, wondering what his mood was.
But she didn't care about it. In fact, since the "Zhongyang Rebellion", she had no desire to stay in Daliang anymore because she always felt that someone would point fingers at her life experience - she didn't even understand it herself.
, who is her biological father.
Therefore, it might be a good way for Qin Shaojun, who is married to a daughter, to marry far away to the Qin State where no one knows her, to avoid rumors.
"If this is the case, Young Master will be very disappointed, right?"
Princess Yulong gently patted Qin Shaojun, a friend she had known for a short time, on the back, comforting her silently.
