Lin Jue and others met the princess and Guo Kun's wives and concubines on the way. They were escorted by a group of Luoyan Army soldiers and horses to the capital. Lin Jue hurriedly got off his horse to greet him. The princess was very happy to see Lin Jue.
He kept asking questions behind the curtains of the car.
"Lin Jue, thank you for your hard work. Kun'er has ascended the throne as emperor, and you have entered Bianliang. This is great. Do you know? When I heard the news, I couldn't sleep these days. I was so happy.
It's amazing. It's all because of you that Kun'er is where he is today. Hey, I told the prince a long time ago that you are the savior of our Prince Liang's house, and everything depends on you. Hey, your prince treated you a little badly when he was alive.
, I see it in my eyes, you are a tolerant person, don’t care about the past. Kuner also has a bad temper, and sometimes he may not be prudent in his words and actions, so you don’t want to be the same as him. In short, I know you
Be good to us. I will advise Kun'er well, let him be a good emperor, let him know how to be grateful and make progress. You should also be more tolerant of him, because you are more sensible than him."
Faced with what the princess said, Lin Jue was speechless. The princess knew her son very well. To be honest, the princess was really good to him. She didn't do anything between Guo Caiwei and him.
Less twists and turns. After marrying the little princess, the princess did not stop supplementing the little princess with money, and Lin Jue invested a large part of this money in Funiu Mountain. In fact, Luoyan Valley in Funiu Mountain can be what it is today, even though it is himself and Luoyan
Although the construction contribution was made by everyone in Gu, objectively some of the financial support came from the royal palace.
Because of this, Lin Jue still tolerated Guo Xu's increasingly outrageous behavior. No matter from the perspective of the princess or the princess, they could not be beaten to death with a stick. These two women were
Lin Jue was the only two people in his heart who needed to consider their feelings.
Lin Jue wanted to say something to his mother-in-law, who was about to become the Queen Mother of the Great Zhou Dynasty: Your son actually wants to kill me now, please teach me how to tolerate him. But how can these words be said out loud? Lin Jue believed that if
If she has to choose between herself and her son, then the princess must still choose his son. Therefore, these things cannot be clarified. It only depends on whether the princess can see the clues herself and whether she can advise Guo Kun.
.And I can’t say anything.
"What did my mother-in-law say? Everything my son-in-law did was his duty. No matter whether it was for the country or the family, my son-in-law had no shirk. Don't worry, mother-in-law. Your Majesty... he is very good. There is nothing wrong with him."
." Lin Jue said with a smile.
Hearing this, the princess nodded and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good. What I hope most is that you two get along harmoniously. I hope that Kun'er can take good care of this country. It would be extremely embarrassing if the country of the Zhou Dynasty fell into his hands."
It is a big responsibility. You have to help him well, both in public and private matters. I have been scared for most of my life. From now on, I just want to enjoy happiness, eat, drink and have fun every day. Hahaha."
Lin Jue smiled and nodded: "That's natural. I heard that Caiwei and the others came back together, why didn't you see them?"
The princess said: "Weier and the others were passing by Xishan. Your concubine Huanqiu and her mother said they wanted to pay homage to their father's grave, so they stopped and went to the valley to pay homage. It's not easy for me to go with my status.
I'm anxious to wait, since we're pretty close to the capital anyway, so I'll take the first step. The Fang family is your teacher and your father-in-law, so Wei'er will naturally follow him to pay homage, after all, he's a junior."
Lin Jue suddenly understood, it turned out that Huanqiu and his wife were passing by Xishan to visit Fang Dunru's grave. With her status as a princess, it was natural that she could not go to visit Fang Dunru's grave. It would be inappropriate, so she simply went ahead.
"So that's how it is, then my son-in-law will escort his mother-in-law to Beijing first, and then come to greet them." Lin Jue bowed.
"No, no, no, Kun'er sent a letter, saying that he sent someone to greet us and they will arrive soon. Huh? There are soldiers and horses on the official road over there, are they here to pick me up?" Princess
Halfway through, he pointed at the official road behind Lin Jue.
Lin Jue also heard the rumble of horse hoofs. When everyone turned to look, they saw hundreds of cavalry galloping towards them. The man leading the charge was Huang Jiang, the deputy commander of the front department. In a moment, Huang Jiang and others were approaching.
Seeing Lin Jue standing in front of the princess's carriage, Huang Jiang was a little surprised. He got off his horse and walked to the carriage to bow to the princess and the driver behind her.
"Huang Jiang, the deputy commander of the front department of the Chen Palace, came here on the emperor's order to welcome the Queen Mother and the Queen's Holy Emperor as they arrive in Beijing. I apologize for being late to welcome them."
"General Huang, no courtesy, did Kun'er ask you to pick us up? Then it's all your fault." The princess nodded.
"This is my duty. Queen Mother, Queen, please get up and drive." Huang Jiang stood up and said.
The princess nodded and said to Lin Jue: "Then I will go first. You and Wei'er will come in the evening, and our family will have a good reunion and have a reunion dinner."
Lin Jue nodded and said with a smile: "As ordered."
Lin Jue walked to the side of the road, and the princess lowered the car curtain. Huang Jiang got on his horse and shouted loudly: "The Queen Mother and the Empress are starting to drive, and the people waiting aside are not allowed to block the official road. The official road is so narrow, how can it accommodate so many people?"
?Still not getting out of the way.”
Sun Dayong looked ugly. Huang Jiang meant what he said to Lin Jue's cavalry, who were currently riding horses and standing by the road to avoid it.
The carriage started, and Huang Jiang rode his horse beside the princess's carriage. He bowed his hands to Lin Jue and said, "Master Lin, I humble my duty and take the first step."
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Haosheng escort."
Huang Jiang nodded and said: "That's natural. I have obeyed the emperor's orders for my humble position. How dare I not do my best?"
Just as Lin Jue was about to speak, Sun Dayong couldn't hold back anymore and shouted in a deep voice: "Huang Jiang, do you understand the rules?"
Huang Jiang was stunned and frowned: "What did General Sun mean?"
Sun Dayong said: "Why don't you show courtesy when you see Marshal Lin?"
Huang Jiang said in astonishment: "Who said I didn't see the gift? Didn't I just see the gift?"
Sun Dayong shouted: "Is that considered a courtesy to you? That's perfunctory. Do you want me to tell you Mr. Lin's official position? Mr. Lin is the prime minister and privy envoy of the dynasty, the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and he is also the king of the county. Since he is the dynasty,
The most important minister is your superior officer, and he has the status of a king. You are the commander and deputy envoy in front of a small palace. How can you salute just by cupping your hands on horseback? Come down and kowtow to me."
Huang Jiang's face turned red, he was speechless for a long time, and shouted: "I am carrying out the emperor's order to escort the Queen Mother and the Empress. When I enter the capital, I have important things to do. Where can I think of these things?"
Sun Dayong shouted coldly: "Bastard, when do you no longer need to abide by court etiquette? Do you mean that you can ignore Shangguan and the prince like this? Why don't you get down, do you want me to pull you down?"
The princess's car was already more than ten steps away when she heard the noise.
He hurriedly parked the car, opened the car curtain, looked back in surprise, and asked: "What... is wrong with you?"
Lin Jue said hurriedly: "Mother-in-law, it's nothing serious. My subordinates, General Sun and General Huang, had an argument. It doesn't matter."
The princess frowned and said: "I heard this, is this General Huang disrespectful to you? How can this be done? Whoever disrespects you is disrespectful to me. Is this General Huang a person close to the emperor? I want to ask when I turn around.
Your Majesty, how can you reuse such a person? Lin Jue, please escort me back to the city, I don’t want this person to escort me anymore.”
When Huang Jiang heard this, he was so frightened that he almost fainted. He hurriedly dismounted his horse and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen deserves to die. I mean no disrespect. Please be more careful. Wei Chen... Wei Chen was just negligent."
The princess shouted in a deep voice: "Neglect? How can you be negligent even if you are superior to me? What's the use of asking me? Why don't you go and pay your respects to your superiors? He is my son-in-law and a hero of my great Zhou Dynasty. Who do you think you are? Why don't you go?"
Kowtow to apologize?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Jiang hurriedly turned to Lin Jue, kowtowed with tears in his eyes and apologized, saying that he was negligent and was not deliberately neglectful.
Lin Jue did not take this matter seriously at first, and even planned to stop Sun Dayong, but now, Lin Jue felt something unusual. The princess spoke for him without saying a word, and she was so determined.
Thoroughly, this made Lin Jue feel a little strange. What she said was very firm, but what she did seemed to be to excuse Huang Jiang and make Huang Jiang kowtow to her to apologize, so that the matter would be settled. In fact, it was like
It protects the Huangjiang River.
The princess is not simple! She may already know something. The previous words and the situation in front of her all illustrate this point. Lin Jue became more and more aware of this point.
"Lin Jue, I will ask the emperor to remove this bastard general from his official position later. Don't be angry. You are now an important minister of the court and the pillar of the country. There is no need to be angry over these trivial things. The prime minister can hold a boat in his belly, and you are also the prime minister now.
Don't worry about these trivial matters." The princess continued.
Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief and bowed: "What my mother-in-law said is that this is just a small matter. General Huang was negligent for a moment. Besides, he is a rough soldier in the army. He is not so considerate about etiquette. I don't care at all."
These are just mentioned by my subordinate General Sun. This is not a big deal. General Huang, get up. Although it is a trivial matter, I want to remind you. When you are on duty with the emperor, you should pay attention to the etiquette of dignity.
It's me next time. If you forget to be polite to the emperor next time, it will be a death penalty. Do your errands well, escort the emperor well, and there is no need to kowtow."
Huang Jiang hurriedly thanked him and stood up. His forehead was covered with dust and grass, and he was extremely embarrassed. The princess smiled and said to Lin Jue: "It's better you are generous. Hey, I shouldn't be angry. How can I, an old woman like me, let the emperor use the affairs of the court?"
It doesn’t matter who I am, this is rude of me. Forget it, let’s not talk about it. I was a little sleepy at first, but you guys made such a fuss, I feel energetic. Then General Huang, why don’t you escort us away? You are really a bastard.”
Huang Jiang repeatedly said yes, turned around and got on his horse, and the disgraced escort drove away. When they were far away, Sun Dayong whispered: "My lord, don't blame me for being talkative in my humble position. This Huang Jiang is arrogant in front and respectful in the back. After that night, he has become arrogant."
He looks like he has a guilty conscience. I'm afraid I can't keep him here."
Lin Jue sighed: "I just didn't expect everything to happen so quickly."
