17 Ouyang Ke Tongren

As if she had aged ten years all of a sudden, Princess Dolan walked forward with a gloomy expression: "Father"

Duolan had married the right minister's son Suoha half a year ago. At this time, she was very sad to see her father's haggard look: "Father, there is no one available in the court now. Why don't you recall Cheng Wang..."

"No!" Jin Xuanzong rebuffed straight away: "He dared to refuse to marry my favorite jewel and recalled him. Where will I put my face?!"

"Father" Duolan took a step forward: "How can you still take so much into consideration of the current situation? Besides, if you had listened to his suggestion and eased the relationship with Xixia, how could you have come to this point?"

Jin Xuanzong remained silent, he knew his daughter was right, but he didn't expect Zong Yan to be extremely accurate in predicting these general trends.At the beginning, he did suggest that he ease the relationship with Xixia, but he didn't listen, and rejected Xixia's peace proposal. This made the Xixia emperor furious, gathered 20 elite troops, and attacked Gongzhou of Jin Kingdom with Mongols.Fortunately, in the misfortune, thanks to Cheng Wang Zongyan, he went to the Great Song Dynasty to sign the covenant in person, so the tragedy of Mongolia, Song and Xixia attacking Dajin did not happen.

Alas, he sighed, could it be that he is really old.

With a single edict, Zong Yan regained his status as a prince.

The servants cheered happily, but Ouyang Ke sat alone, silent.

"What, are you unhappy?" Zong Yan knelt down and held Ouyang Ke's hand.

"Actually, the time I was here was the happiest time in my life. My lord, what I hope is that I can stay with you for the rest of my life in peace."

Ouyang Ke lowered his head, he held Zong Yan's hand tightly.

He treasured the porcelain doll Zong Yan bought for him and put it in the innermost part of the package.

The corners of Zong Yan's eyes suddenly became moist.

To be able to share wealth and honor, but also to share joys and sorrows, isn't that what I have been looking for all this time?

Zong Yan returned to the imperial court, quickly took over military affairs, and formulated a series of plans to unite the Song army, fight against the Mongolian iron cavalry, dissolve the Mengxia alliance, and win over Xixia.

Under his command, the golden soldiers who had been retreating steadily turned defeat into victory, and won several battles solidly.

For a while, Cheng Wang Zongyan's reputation in Dajin reached the highest point, and he almost became a hero in the hearts of the people of Dajin.

Zong Yan went back late at night because of the important affairs of the military plane.He looked worriedly at the familiar corner, and found that Ouyang Ke was still waiting there, watching him enter the door, and hurriedly greeted him: "My lord".Zong Yan looked at Ouyang Ke who was wearing thin clothes, and sighed inwardly, why does this happen every day, it seems that he was reminded to wear more clothes yesterday, but the result is still the same.While secretly blaming him, he carefully put the cloak he had prepared on Ouyang Ke's body, and Ouyang Ke watched him doing this with a smile.In fact, he deliberately didn't wear the cloak that Awen prepared for him. He likes to watch Zong Yan busy himself carefully. Whenever this happens, he always feels that the temperature between the two offsets the shivering brought by the bone-chilling cold.

After helping Ouyang Ke wash his feet, Zong Yan carried Ouyang Ke onto the bed as usual, and carefully pinched the quilt for him.

"Ake, you should go to bed early. I still have some work to do, and I'll be here in a while."

Ouyang Ke looked at Zong Yan with gentle eyes, and smiled slightly: "My lord, take care of your health and rest early."

Zong Yan froze for a moment: "Okay."Also laughed.

He picked up an urgent military document and looked at it. It was a secret report from Song Dynasty. Because Song and Jin formed an alliance, they also became enemies of Mongolia.Xiangyang City was threatened by Mongolian iron cavalry, and it has been besieged for three days. If reinforcements are not sent, Xiangyang will be in danger.

And Wanyan Xun's reply was: wait and see what happens.

Zong Yan frowned deeply. Jin Xuanzong Wanyan Xun was always capricious in dealing with the alliance.The problem is that now it is necessary for the Jin and Song Dynasties to join forces to deal with powerful enemies together. This way of handling will definitely lead to the breakdown of the alliance and the result of silos.

He decided to discuss the matter again when he went to court the next day.

"How unreasonable!" Wanyan Xun came back angrily, and broke no less than three celadon vases in the harem.

Early this morning, Cheng Wang Zongyan actually ignored his dismissal of the imperial pen Zhu Bian who sent reinforcements, and re-proposed the proposal to assist the Song army to defend Xiangyang City.What's even more hateful is that this proposal was actually approved by most of the courtiers.

Wanyan Xun finally had to swallow his anger and accepted the proposal to send golden soldiers to support Xiangyang.

However, the more I think about it, the angrier I get.

Zong Yan's wings are getting harder and harder?

He narrowed his eyes.

The "Great King" servant informed: "Marshal Shuhu, please see me."

"My lord, I suspect that King Cheng colluded with Song Dynasty and intended to rebel."

Shu Huqi cut to the chase and raised his doubts.

"Do you have evidence?" Jin Wang asked back. In fact, he had doubts like this.

"Not yet, but Your Majesty, Zong Yan is so arrogant that he dared to confront His Majesty face-to-face at the court meeting today. Moreover, he is good at winning people's hearts, and now the deeds of 'King Changsheng' are spreading among the people. He also has a relationship with Song Dynasty Very secret. If left unchecked, Dajin’s country will be in danger! Please make a plan early to get rid of this disaster.”

The King of Jin was still hesitating, and Shu Huqi approached the King of Jin's ear: "Your Majesty, you must first make peace with the outside world! In my opinion, it's not as good as this..."

Jin Wang frowned and nodded slowly.

(37) abuse

The imperial court issued a military order, and King Cheng accepted the order.

Zong Yan shook his body when he received this military order.

Five thousand gold soldiers fought against [-] Mongolian iron cavalry, and King Cheng took command.

Without reinforcements, it would be very difficult to win this battle, but it seemed that King Jin had no intention of sending reinforcements.

Zong Yan put away the military order, he was a little suspicious, for such a king, such a court, all the efforts he had made before, was it worth it?

He understood that this expedition was extremely dangerous.The chances of returning safely are slim.His first thought was, what should Ouyang Ke do?

He understands the heart of the little poison, and love is always difficult to pass, and the word idiot always takes the first place.

This time, it was so dangerous, the top priority was to get Ouyang Ke out first.

Fortunately, this military order was issued in secret, and there are still two full months before the expedition, and there is still time.

He returned to Chengwang Mansion in a trance like a wandering soul, sitting alone in the study.Originally thought that after being reborn, he would change his fate against the sky, and maybe even change the entire pattern of the world.However, he still didn't change anything.However, until now, he feels that he has no regrets. If he is asked to choose again in this life, he will still live like this.

The door was opened and a little light came in.

Ouyang Ke stepped in and said, "My lord, why don't you let someone inform you when you come back tonight, so I can pick you up."

Ouyang Ke carefully put the candle on the table, the room was too dark, he didn't have time to see the flash of reluctance on Zong Yan's face.

"What's wrong? Do you have something on your mind?" Ouyang Ke noticed Zong Yan's silence, sat on the side, and observed his expression: "Speak out, so I can relieve your worries."

Zong Yan looked at Ouyang Ke's serious and teasing expression under the candlelight, and burst out laughing, feeling much more relaxed.

He stood up, opened the door, and let the moonlight shine in.

At night, Zong Yan hugged the people around him tightly. He knew that such opportunities were running out.Ouyang Ke slept soundly in his arms, his whole body was so warm that Zong Yan embraced him.In fact, Zong Yan's happiest moment is when he sleeps every day.With the person you love the most in your arms, even if the cold wind outside is piercing your bones, you are not afraid.That kind of feeling, like embracing my whole world, and never waking up like this, is actually a good choice.

Unknowingly, Zong Yan hugged Ouyang Ke and fell asleep.With Ouyang Ke by his side, he will definitely sleep soundly, even if death is imminent.

Zong Yan hadn't returned to Cheng Wang's mansion for several days, and he didn't ask his servants to report back.Ouyang Ke was a little restless, the prince was rarely like this before.He asked his servants to prepare some of the prince's favorite pastries and put them in a food box, and decided to go to the Military Affairs Mansion to have a look in person.

The messenger reported that Ouyang Ke was visiting, but Zong Yan seemed to have never heard of it, and several generals looked at each other in blank dismay.At noon, the sun was very bright, so Ouyang Ke waited outside for two full hours.

"My lord, let's go out and have a look." General Tu Dan finally couldn't stand it anymore, and said to Zong Yan with some reproach.

Zong Yan walked out of the tent, Ouyang Ke dragged his legs and walked over with a food box: "My lord, why did you come out? I asked them to make osmanthus cakes that almost melted." As he spoke, he looked at Zong Yan carefully: "It's only been a few days. God, why are you losing weight again?" After speaking, he raised his hand to touch Zong Yan's face.

Zong Yan tilted his head, and said with some disgust: "Young Master Ouyang, please respect yourself, what's the proper way to make it public?"

Ouyang Ke was stunned for a moment, and looked around in embarrassment.

"What's wrong with you?" He asked Zong Yan in a low voice.

Zong Yan turned around: "You don't want to come to this kind of place in the future." Leaving aside a cold sentence, he turned and walked in.

Ouyang Ke has been alone and sleepless for the past few days.

Tossing and turning on the bed, he never knew that falling asleep was such a difficult thing.For more than two years, he has gotten used to sleeping peacefully in Zong Yan's arms.But now, the person beside him has not returned for several days and nights...

"The lord is back." Hearing the report from the servants outside, Ouyang Ke ran out without even putting on his coat.

"Prince" Ouyang Ke stood on the road he passed by with a lantern, just like the previous princes who came home late.However, Zong Yan turned a blind eye and walked towards the bedroom reeking of alcohol all over his body. Ouyang Ke's eyes darkened, and when he walked to his side, he could vaguely smell the fragrance of makeup powder.
