Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 201

Chapter 201 The Moon Is Yours

Everyone in Wei knows that Xiao Jue, the commander of the Youjun, is well-dressed and well-equipped with both civil and military skills. Picking up the sword can keep one party safe. Putting down the sword is the son of Pian Pian. God treated him preferentially, gave him a good skin, and gave him one. Good skill, but unfortunately, he is too indifferent and ruthless. As for who I like, I think I’m dreaming when I think about it. Regardless of his temperament, he has grown into this way, and he has grown into this way. What kind of woman can I look at in the world?

Don’t you see Gaoling fairy Shen Muxue following him for so many years, yet he still hasn’t gotten the slightest benefit?

Now, from this person’s mouth, I heard the words “the person in my mind”. He Yan was in a daze, and the officials were also in a daze, even the emperor on the high seat was stunned.

It turned out that the famous Second Young Master Xiao was so gentle when he thought of his sweetheart. It seems that the moonlight has faded away from the coldness and faintness, only clear and bright.

The autumn moon is like a mirror, reflecting people’s minds invisible. Joy or shyness, secret or sadness, cannot be hidden from human eyes.

No one could be indifferent by him with such eyes. He Yan heard his heartbeat, “plops” and “plops” again and again. In the noisy banquet, he was clear and powerful, unable to parry.

The emperor’s laughter broke this moment of stunnedness, “Hahaha, well, I rarely see Xiao Aiqing’s side! The queen has become a good thing today, and I will do a good thing today. You two are in agreement, Xiao Aiqing For this great victory in Jiyang, I can’t think of anything to reward you. Why don’t you want to reward you with a marriage? This girl He will be your wife?”

Xiao Jue took the decree, “Weichen Xie Sheng Shang Longen.”

He Yan also had to kneel down to take the order.

Shen Muxue’s lips turned pale, almost fainting. The emperor Chrysostom said that once the gift of marriage is given, it will not be changed. Lin Shuanghe’s heart twisted and twisted with the changes in the temple, and he was almost not scared to death. When he arrived here, he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Even though he was full of suspicion, it was not the time to speak. He was happy for his friends, and excitedly said to his colleagues: “Have you heard? I gave you a marriage! Your Majesty gave you a marriage. This is a good marriage. Look at them, how good they are!”

Yan He hadn’t recovered from the shock that Wu Anlang was a woman who had spoken badly about He Rufei with him, but when he heard such a big news, he was dumbfounded for a while, wondering if he was dreaming.

“Congratulations to Governor Xiao, congratulations to Governor Xiao, your majesty gave the marriage, it can be regarded as a good talk!” Surprisingly, Xu Jingfu also spoke for Xiao Jue. He looked not surprised, as if he was still happy to see the result. Constantly praise how happy this marriage is. He Yan thought about it for a moment and realized that Xu Jingfu and Xiao Jue were rivals, and as Xiao Jue, marrying a white and no background woman like her would naturally be the best. For Xu Jingfu to be the lady of any high-ranking official’s house, it would have a hundred harm but no benefit.

Chu Zhao sat in the table with a smile on the corner of his mouth. It seemed that it was no different in normal days. However, when you look carefully, you can see the hands on the knees, the knuckles of the fingers are hardly white, and the robe is almost crumpled.

The courtiers watched a good show, joked and congratulated. The fifth prince was a little puzzled, and asked Guang Shuo, “Fourth brother, how did your majesty give a man…a woman dressed as a man to General Feng Yun as his wife? She doesn’t look as good as Sister Shen yet.”

The five princes like Xiao Jue very much, and most of Xiao Jue’s experience is like a legend in the hearts of young and young boys. The teenagers yearn for heroes and admire the strong. The fifth prince Guangji heard from his biological mother, Ni Guiren, that Sister Shen in the Yushi Mansion is the best match for Governor Xiao now. Guangji also thinks that Shen Muxuesheng is like a fairy, but now the person given to be Mrs. Xiao Jue is an unfamiliar woman who also dresses up as a man, which is unacceptable to Guangji.

“Don’t talk nonsense,” Guang Shuo patted him on the head and looked at He Yan’s back in the palace. “Since General Feng Yun is so kind, this girl He must be exceptional, and she can fight with a woman’s body. This is the first one to enter the official ranks, and the great Wei found the country.”

“What’s extraordinary,” the prince said disdainfully, his tone a little bit nasty, “I don’t know what method was used, Xiao Huaijin is the blessing of Qi people, a Shen Muxue, and now there is another female soldier, daily in the account. , I don’t know what it is doing…”

Guang Shuo frowned slightly, “Your Highness, speak carefully.”

The prince disagreed.

Emperor Wenxuan looked at He Yan again: “He Yan, although you are a daughter, I know that you have a hardship in joining the army as a woman. I am not inhumane. Although you have the crime of deceiving, but If you think you have merited in the battle of Jiyang Rundu, I will not pursue it. The merit is merit, the passing is over, and I will punish you for one year’s salary, but… the prince will still be honored!”

“So good?” Lin Shuanghe cleverly slapped the table and shouted first: “Your Majesty Rende, Long Live Your Majesty!”

He Yan also kowtowed his head and shouted long live. For a moment, courtiers knelt down a large area, shouting long live.

Emperor Wen Xuan did a Mingjun, and then he thought it was a beautiful thing. He was so boasted that he sat on a high seat with a smile. Empress Zhang frowned calmly, Ni Guiren’s probing gaze swept back and forth on He Yan, only Concubine Lan, sitting quietly and smiling, as if everything today has nothing to do with her.

He Yan and Xiao Jue returned to their seats again. Because she is now a “female family”, they can only go to the female family’s seat. She does not know the female family here. Only Xia Chengxiu beckoned to her and whispered: ” Girl He, come here.”

He Yan sat down next to Xia Chengxiu. Xia Chengxiu smiled and said, “Congratulations, Miss He.” She smiled and returned the courtesy. A stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. At least he appeared in the Great Wei Chaotang with the name “He Yan” openly, first. Step, she has successfully walked. Although I don’t know why Xiao Jue got involved and caused such a result, but now, at least for now, it has not caused any bad consequences.

Of course, except for two people.

He Yan’s gaze crossed the table, and the men and women seated opposite each other. Her gaze accurately captured Xu Zhiheng, who was sitting in the corner, peeping at her.

Xu Zhiheng was very disturbed, and this anxiety reached its climax when He Yan’s identity as a woman was revealed. He didn’t know what was going on. How could a dead person, a person who was buried, a person whose body might have been corrupted into mud, reappear in front of him.

This woman, also named He Yan, is not half similar to the one born by his dead wife, but her every move, expression, and expression all overlapped with the grandmother He Da in his memory in the past. Especially when he peeped at the other party, the other party would also look at him from the crowd, the meaningful gaze made people palpitations.

Who is she?

Xu Zhiheng does not believe in ghosts and gods. He is the most impatient to pray for blessings and incense in the temple every year. When he was young, his husband always said that he should be in awe of ghosts and gods, but he always believed that if there were ghosts and gods in the world, there would be so many helpless things. He didn’t fight when he was alive, and how could he become fierce after he died.

But… But, He Yan didn’t kill him!

Xu Zhiheng’s heart went cold.

He Yan is going to die. This is the ending that the He family prepared for her. He Yuansheng gave this order. He Rufei was the one who did it. He Wanru was an accomplice, but he just didn’t say anything. Even if the evil spirits were to come back to retaliate, the He family should be the first to retaliate, right?

Why find him!

He plucked up the courage to look at He Yan again, but saw that the woman had turned her head and talked to Xia Chengxiu next to him, as if the stare just now was just an illusion of him alone.

Xu Zhiheng looked at He Rufei again. They were grasshoppers on a rope. If He Yan really turned into a ghost and returned, he would definitely not let He Rufei go. He seemed to perceive Xu Zhiheng’s gaze, He Rufei looked over, frowning, and shook his head very slightly at him, beckoning him not to be too obvious.

In the court hall, the two of them are always indifferent, so as not to be discovered by others.

Xu Zhiheng was anxious, but the banquet was not over yet, so he could not leave without permission, so he had to lower his head and continue this long disgusting “celebration banquet” like sitting on pins and needles.

Emperor Wen Xuan was very happy and drank a lot today.

He has been in the throne for many years and has little talent in political affairs. The first few years of his ascension were fine. He was diligent day and night. Later, he felt that he was really incapable and simply became lazy. Although he is not outstanding, he is not considered to be a stunned king, and there is no big thing to happen with courtiers watching over him.

Until Xu Jingfu’s power became more and more powerful, many officials secretly told him to beware of Xu Xiang. Emperor Wen Xuan didn’t know it was wrong, but he had relied on Xu Jingfu for many years, so that if Xu Jingfu was gone, he couldn’t find someone who could replace Xu Jingfu.

Moreover, Xu Jingfu’s status is not low. Once such a minister happens, the court will inevitably be in turmoil. Although he had no political talent, he had witnessed the same thing with his own eyes when the first emperor was here.

But as long as he is a person, he will have selfishness. He turned a blind eye to what Xu Jingfu did. Xu Jingfu covered the sky with his hand, which also touched the interests of many people. Gradually, Emperor Wenxuan knew that someone behind him was calling him “fainted by the emperor”, no distinction between loyalty and traitor, but how did they know that there would be no fish when the water was clear, and the state of governance was different. when.

Xiao Zhongwu was defeated, the Utuo people were ready to move, and the prince was tyrannical and morally… But now that night, it is not easy for him to do a “right” thing that everyone praises. Emperor Wen Xuan was delighted in his heart.

At a banquet tonight, the two youngest and most promising people in Shuojing were given marriage at the same time. Originally, Chu Zhao and Xu Pingting’s relatives were from the Chu family. Now, as soon as Xiao Huaijin’s marriage came out, he compared Chu Zhao’s marriage to a less surprising one.

Everyone whispered, where did He Yan come out. Xiao Zhongwu’s eldest son, Xiao Rubi, married a concubine in spite of the eyes of outsiders. Xiao Huaijin’s younger son was even better. He had never heard of his name before. Could it be that he didn’t even have an official position in his family.

On the contrary, Xiao Jue himself was very calm from beginning to end.

Lin Shuanghe sat beside him, wishing to immediately pull Xiao Jue aside and ask clearly what was going on. However, it was not easy to ask questions under the eyes of everyone, so he had to press it down. Looking at Yan He on the side, the same is true, already aggrieved about to lift the table.

Everyone had their own thoughts in this celebration banquet. When it was over, the protagonists on the table all breathed a sigh of relief. He Yan stood up, Xia Chengxiu was still a little worried, “Miss He, do you need me to accompany you?” She is now stared at by countless pairs of eyes. Can’t stand.

“Nothing.” He Yan smiled and thanked her for her kindness, “I just go out by myself.”

Xia Chengxiu stopped insisting and was about to leave the meeting. Thinking of something, she turned her head and glanced at Shen Muxue, but she saw that Shen Muxue’s face was pale, and her lips had lost a bit of blood, like a stiff puppet, not half angry.

She paused, and finally said nothing, got up and went to look for Yanhe.

The emperor and a few empresses have already left, Yan He pulled Xia Chengxiu, and came to this end aggressively, seeing Lin Shuanghe but not Xiao Jue, and furious: “Where is Xiao Huaijin? And that Wu Anlang! They lied to me. It’s so bitter to cheat, I have to ask for an explanation!”

Xia Chengxiu pulled him, seemingly speechless, and reminded: “Wu’anhou is a woman, please pay attention to what you say.”

“Have you ever seen a woman who slashed several heads?” Yan He shouted, “I don’t care if they are women or not, do you play with them? I’m almost a fool!”

Xia Chengxiu: “…Pay attention, Dad is here, what should I do if I hear it?”

Xia Chengxiu’s father, Mrs. Xia, was looking this way. Yan He was startled and coughed slightly. His voice was quieter, and his face was still angry. He clenched his fists and asked, “Where are they?”

Lin Shuanghe spread his hands together: “Go.”

“Gone?” Yan He widened his eyes in disbelief. “When?”

“After the emperor is gone, they left.” Lin Shuanghe shook his fan, “I just got this marriage, and I will be a husband and wife in the future. What are you doing as an outsider?” Lin Shuanghe glanced at Xia Chengxiu and smiled. Said: “Don’t you give up, thinking about moving sister He to your account?”

Anyway, He Yan’s identity had been exposed, and he simply called out the three characters “Sister He” openly.

Yan He’s expression turned blue, “Don’t talk nonsense!” He looked at Xia Chengxiu who was smiling and silent, and whispered, “I don’t know Wu Anlang at all!”

“Then you go back early.” Lin Shuanghe patted him on the shoulder. “When they get married, you must be invited to have a wedding wine. Don’t worry, don’t worry.” After that, he hummed an untuned little tune, Yang Chang. And gone.

…

Somewhere in the courtyard of the palace, weeds were overgrown, it was autumn, the flowers and leaves were withered, there were no people here, and it was inaccessible, and it became more and more desolate and lonely. A bright moon fell on the eaves, dazzling a full court of frosty white.

The person in front stopped, and the girl behind stood still and asked in confusion, “Where is this?”

“Abandoned palace,” Xiao Jue said: “If someone is guarding, no one will come in.”

The palace is huge, and He Yan is the first to enter the palace, but Xiao Jue is not. He knows what secrets and secrets are in it, and it’s normal. Seeing that there was no one in these places, He Yan was a little relieved, then looked at him and asked, “The Governor, what is going on? Why did the emperor today say that you have told him my identity a long time ago?”

Xiao Jue said calmly: “Didn’t you give Zhao Shiming a letter?”

He Yan was startled, “How do you know?”

He did not answer, but He Yan wanted to understand. There are many capable people and strangers under Xiao Jue. Don’t mention it in the palace, I’m afraid it has fallen into Xiao Jue’s hands before he arrives in the palace.

“Why write a letter behind my back?” Xiao Jue asked.

He Yan smiled bitterly, “I always feel that my identity can’t be kept for long. Instead of being exposed by others at some point, it is better to prepare yourself in advance. Besides, once the crime of deceiving the king falls, won’t you also be involved?”

Before she left Rundu, she asked Rundu’s magistrate to send her a letter to His Majesty. After the First World War in Rundu, the city official would record the ins and outs of it in the zhezi and present it to the emperor. And the letter in the folder will reveal He Yan’s identity.

However, at the same time as she clarified her identity as a woman, there was also Rundu Wanmin’s signature on this letter.

Although He Yan had never seen Emperor Wen Xuan, he had always heard what Lin Shuanghe said that Emperor Wen Xuan was a mediocre emperor and a soft-hearted emperor. At some point, as long as Xu Jingfu wasn’t fanning the flames, he actually possessed the rare sympathy and compassion of the emperor’s family. When the first emperor was alive, a minister made a mistake, and the people petitioned. The emperor expressed his gratitude to his past merits and pardoned him for his death. In his life, Emperor Wen Xuan admired his father the most. For many things, he would deliberately imitate what the first emperor did. Therefore, when Zhao Shijie’s petition for the people of the people was submitted, Emperor Wen Xuan would hesitate.

What’s more, there is no doubt He Yan’s contribution. In the battles of Liangzhou Wei, Jiyang, and Rundu, the merits won in each battle are worthy of commendation. In contrast, a woman disguised as a man is not a big responsibility. Moreover, it was not her initiative to disguise a woman as a man. It was really desperate to join the army by mistake.

If you have done more than you have done, you are a young genius, or a woman, the Wanmin petition will be the last straw to crush the emperor. For people’s hearts, Emperor Wenxuan would not be able to order her to be executed. Otherwise, what do the recruits of Liangzhouwei think, what do the people of Jiyang think, what do the rescued women in Rundu think?

He Yan thought that he had considered everything and tried to persuade Zhao Shijie, but he did not expect that Xiao Jue would be in the middle of it.

“The letter was stopped by me,” he said.

He Yan stared at him.

“You think very well, but it’s not perfect. You may retreat all over, but you may also die Huang Quan.” Whenever there is a possibility, he will not let He Yan go into danger.

“But the Governor, didn’t you also expose my identity?” He Yan puzzled, “How did you persuade your Majesty?”

She didn’t know that Xiao Jue had fastened the two of them together in the envelope that Xiao Jue presented instead of herself. There is no such thing as a fan, or any last resort. It was all because Xiao Jue brought He Yan into the barracks for his own selfish desires. If they were to be counted as a crime of deceiving the emperor, they would both have to be punished together. But now that the Utuo people are eagerly gazing at them, Emperor Wenxuan can’t afford the consequences of not having Xiao Jue guarding the Great Wei land. Therefore, Emperor Wenxuan will not punish him. Even if he wants to punish him, Xiao Jue will take it all.

Of course, he had brought this matter back to his heart a little, and the excerpt was as touching as a love story passed down by word of mouth, easily touching the romantic heart of Emperor Wen Xuan.

After this, he secretly gave Xu Jingfu the news of the matter. When it comes to Xiao Jue’s marriage, except for Xiao Jing and his wife, Xu Jingfu should be the most worried. The entire Shuojing people know that Shen Muxue is the most likely person to marry Xiao Jue. If the Shen family and the Xiao family become in-laws…the people on the side of Shen Yushi will all stand on the side of Xiao Jue, which makes Xu Jingfu very distressed.

Even if it wasn’t for Shen Muxue, the daughter of a court official in Shuojing’s officialdom, Xu Jingfu would not be happy to make Xiao Jue more powerful. At this time, He Yan suddenly appeared. Xu Jingfu sent someone to investigate and found that he was just the daughter of a captain of the city gate. He simply thought it was a good thing to lose pie in the sky.

Therefore, not only would he not stop him, he would even try his best to promote the marriage between Xiao Jue and He Yan. Xiao Jue married He Yan. For Xu Jingfu, such a woman who was not helpful in his career would be successful.

So there was a scene from today’s celebration banquet.

Xiao Jue only picked up some important points, and He Yan was silent for a long time after listening. It was something she never expected that things would be so troublesome. The purpose of her writing that letter, apart from freeing herself from the potentially fatal charge, was to keep Xiao Jue away and to distance him from him. But he didn’t expect to paddle, and he got himself into a marriage.

Although at some point, when he said the three words “the person in my mind”, she was really moved, and she couldn’t wait for the time to freeze.

But the dream will eventually wake up. She has something to do, not because Xiao Jue is softhearted, in order to protect her, let him take his precious life. His life should be like a bright moon in the sky, clean and bright, and never entangled with the black and rotten ditch and mud.

Just be shining, she doesn’t expect more.

“Capital Governor,” He Yan took a deep breath and looked up at him, “Actually, you don’t have to ask your Majesty to marry me just to help me. Trying to maintain a false marriage is too unfair to you.”

“It’s not fake.” Xiao Jue interrupted her.

He Yan was taken aback, “What did you say?”

“What he said in the hall is not fake.” The youth’s voice was gentle, his eyelashes hung down, and faint ripples appeared in the autumn water in his dark pupils, which was not gentle.

In the cold night of late autumn, the courtyard is deep, the Milky Way is quiet, and the slanting moon climbs up the curtains, and the bright night is not as moving as someone’s eyes.

He asked: “Do you like the moon?”

He Yan replied blankly: “…I like it.”

The next moment, a warm and cold thing was stuffed in his hand. He Yan looked down and saw that the black jade that she had taken away after drinking and was rumored to be the heirloom of the Xiao family was lying in his palm, and the python was vivid.

“Now, the moon is yours.”
