Chapter 404: The Cannon Fodder of the General’s Mansion (26)
But when I heard this poem from Jiang Lai's mouth, the blood in my heart that had been silent for a long time seemed to boil again.
In her eyes, he, Tie Yi, was an upright hero.
A simple sentence made his heart tremble more than thousands of compliments from others.
After a brief period of silence, the emperor suddenly stood up and looked at Jiang Lai with admiration and amazement in his eyes.
"Okay, what a flying general who can only make Qincheng. He can't teach Hu Ma to cross Mang Mountain. General Iron, we in the Wei Dynasty are really lucky to have you!
Copy the entire poem and hang it in my imperial study. I will remind myself every day that there is a long way to go to drive out the barbarians! ”
Jiang Lai took two more steps forward and came directly to Tie Yi, looked at him seriously and whispered.
"General Iron, you are the hero of the world and my hero."
Tie Yi's hands were trembling slightly, and he looked at Jiang Lai with surging emotions in his eyes. He lowered his head and tried to suppress it, his voice was low and hoarse.
"Jiang Lai, what should I do to you?"
no way.
There is simply no way.
After holding on for more than ten days, I was completely smitten at the first sight of her.
Jiang Lai is more powerful than thousands of troops on the battlefield, and he can be defeated with just a smile.
Having finished pretending, Jiang Lai turned around and saluted the emperor.
"It is my blessing that my wife can be appreciated by His Majesty."
There was a roar of applause from the audience. There was no way, the poem was really good, and it was written in three steps. It summarized the first half of Tie Yi's life in a concise summary, and the last sentence left a deep imprint on His Majesty's heart.
A poem has earned enough face for her husband. If it is passed down in the future, General Tie will definitely be famous for generations to come.
"You really should marry a virtuous wife. Jiang Lai's poem has stabilized General Tie's position. Your Majesty will never doubt his superiority in any case."
Several princes discussed in low voices.
The Eighth Prince on the side was stunned for a long time, and finally came to his senses after Jiang Lai stepped off the stage.
Because Jiang Lai walked towards him with a smile on his face and an uninformed look that made the eighth prince feel anxious and guilty, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
"Thank you so much, Eighth Prince, and thank you so much for the general."
The Eighth Prince looked nervous and panicked inside. He wished he could beat himself up. Such a talented girl was slandered by his vain assumptions and now she came to thank him. This was even more uncomfortable than killing him.
"No, no, of course you don't need to thank me."
The eighth prince was already incoherent. What he respected most was the scholar who was truly talented and learned. Facing Jiang Lai, thinking about his dirty plan before, he felt ashamed.
Fortunately, at this time, the sixth prince on the side opened his mouth to help him out.
"Miss Jiang is so talented, it seems she has been hiding her capabilities and biding her time in the past."
Jiang came to look at him.
As expected of the male protagonist, he is the most handsome among all the princes, and his facial features are even more flawless when viewed up close.
"Now that you are married, you should do something for your husband. As for keeping a low profile and biding your time, it's just a matter of feeling."
The Sixth Prince looked at Jiang Lai with a pair of narrow phoenix eyes that contained a hint of scrutiny. Thinking of the poem "Feng Yue", his eyes became a bit more appreciative.
"Miss Jiang can talk about romance as well as the battlefield. There is no need to be so modest. You should think carefully about what reward you will seek from His Majesty later."
Jiang Lai smiled, bowed and left. He sat back in his seat and looked at Jiang Yu, who was sitting not far away, with a smile in his eyes.
Looking at her back, she was still straight, but too tight. Everyone sitting around could see that this talented woman didn't seem as calm and composed as she appeared.
The fact is that Jiang Yu's heart has been filled with deep unwillingness and anger.
Just now, she was defeated by the useless Jiang Lai.
Although everyone says that each has his or her own merits, anyone who has read knows that Jiang Lai's three-step poem is way ahead of hers in both wording and conception.
Jiang Lai deliberately made her look embarrassed in front of everyone!
Duan acted like a harmless person, but in fact, he always wanted to suppress her and embarrass her!
Jiang Yu was in a state of confusion. She could feel the looks coming from all directions. It was not like admiration or jealousy before, but a disdainful look and a kind of excitement that was not too big to watch.
Xu Ruling looked at Jiang Yu.
"Sister Yu, what's wrong with you? Didn't you get a good rest last night?"
Jiang Yu forced a smile, not daring to show any flaws in front of so many people.
"No, I didn't expect Jiang Lai to be so talented. He seemed to be a changed person after getting married."
"It must be the general. I have given her the test questions long ago, otherwise there is no way she could be better than you!"
Jiang Yu thought about this possibility.
She knew in advance from the Eighth Prince that His Majesty would make a fuss about Tie Yi, so how could Jiang Lai not know.
But she didn't expect that in just a few days, where did Jiang Lai get the poem?
And that romantic poem, where did she come from!
Jiang Yu had no interest in watching the next poetry competition from beginning to end, until the results were announced at the end.
"You are all heroes, it is an eye-opener for me, but my favorite is Jiang Lai's song "On Famous Generals". Jiang Lai, tell me what reward you want."
Everyone looked at Jiang Lai.
Everyone knows what happened in the Hou Mansion. The two daughters of the Jiang family are so outstanding and ranked first and second on the list. The result is the same. They must plead for the Marquis in front of His Majesty.
The Sixth Prince looked at Jiang Lai and was sure that she would mention the matter about the Marquis.
This is a puddle of muddy water. No one in the court dares to mention it at present. More than a dozen officials headed by Jiang Houye have been thoroughly investigated. Not to mention corruption and bribery, but there is one piece of conclusive evidence. Jiang Houye is secretly A group of civil servants organized a group of literati to write messages everywhere to attack dissident parties.
This kind of thing that disturbs the imperial court is what your Majesty hates the most in his life. If Jiang Lai brings it up at this time, he will indeed gain a good reputation. Your Majesty will not go back on his words, but he will definitely feel uncomfortable in his heart.
At most, the Hou's family would be spared and he would be spared from jail. However, the Marquis has nothing to do with the court in this life, and His Majesty will definitely not allow him to enter the court again.
But Jiang Lai mentioned it and forced His Majesty to submit in disguise. Tie Yi would not be able to behave in front of His Majesty in the future.
It is equivalent to trading Tie Yi's future for the peace of the Hou Mansion.
At this moment, Jiang Yu was holding the edge of the table tightly, waiting to see Jiang Lai show off in front of everyone.
She must also be thinking about protecting the Hou Mansion and gaining favor in front of everyone. How can a child born from a concubine come from a humble background and have the qualifications required by His Majesty!
At this moment, Jiang Lai spoke.
"Back to Your Majesty, I really have something to ask for, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to grant it."
"Tell me and listen."
"About the General." About the General? Isn’t it about the Hou Mansion? What is Jiang Lai up to?
