Chapter 51: Mikhail's love for his daughter, Zhao school grass laughs at the beautiful woman

Uda thought about the courage of Gamba on the road, and there was a faint sense of his heavyness in his hand. Such a strong man has a good foundation in martial arts. As long as he is familiar with the army's combat methods, he will definitely play a great role. Uda couldn't help but get up enthusiastic and want to bring a belt of Gamba to familiarize him with military affairs as soon as possible, which is not a good thing for the country. Therefore, Wuda ordered his own soldiers to return to Anhan and apply to Ma Litu, the chief priest in charge of military affairs in place of the king, to quickly allocate Gamba to his account for the time being.

The soldiers rushed back to Anhan and wanted to find Ganba to see Li Tu together. Unexpectedly, they couldn't find Ganba quickly. The soldiers inquired around and knew that Gamba had slipped away and hurried to report to Uda overnight.

When Wuda heard the news, it was already clear. He immediately put on his clothes and did not wear armor. He personally got on the horse to chase Ganba.

Gamba's horse was very good, and he went resolutely, did not stop for a moment, and kept urging the horse to move forward indignantly. Wuda changed many post horses all the way, and he didn't stop chasing them for four days until the Cangling Pass, but he didn't chase them. When I asked the soldiers, I learned that a strong man came out of the customs about an hour ago - the strong man was very burly, carrying a strange and rusty green dafa. It's really hard to remember that look.

Hearing this, Uda hurriedly asked the soldiers for a good horse and chased after him.

The governor of Zhendong, who is responsible for guarding the Cangling Pass, listened to the report of the soldiers. He was surprised and thought that the governor of Wuda and the governor shouldered the heavy responsibility of national border defense. One guarding the east and the other guarding the west. How could he come here? And there must be a reason to come and not say hello. He hurriedly ordered his own soldiers to prepare horses, without hanging up, and insisted on the tiger-toothed halberd to catch up with it. A group of soldiers followed. Hurry up and go far first.

The generals are not dressed, which is equivalent to being half naked. Gamba quickly has a good face. At present, there are only two governors in Yanhan, all of whom are chasing him in the winter. Finally caught up with Uda, who shouted. Gamba turned around quickly and was very surprised. After a while, Qi Jin also arrived and asked for the reason. Together with Wuda, he persuaded and coaxed him to take Ganba back to Canglingguan.

Gamba quickly ate barbecue, drank hot wine, and told Uda and his heroic deeds together. Speaking of killing a whole team of Yuanjun on a single horse; talking about meeting wolves at night, a personality killed 40 or 50 wolves... He also told that he was treated by the Bird King and only became a "General Pi".

Uda laughed together. Qi Jin had an idea and said, "Strong, you don't know anything. The military officer of our country, General Pei, is indeed not low. If you still want to be a higher official, there are two ways: one is to build achievements, and the other is to take the exam!" Uda agreed and shouted, "Yes! Brother, you haven't taken the exam, so naturally you can only be a general. If you pass the exam, there are more senior officials to do it.

Gamba was puzzled quickly: "Examination? Qualified?"

Qi Jin explained: "The exam is to fight with Lord He Pan, Lieutenant Hu Ben before driving. If you are qualified, you can fight five-in-one with General He, that is, you can award seven-grade officials - General Yamen; if you fight ten-in-one, you can award six-grade officials - General Pei; if you fight 20 in battle, you can be worshipped as a five-grade general!"

Uda echoed, "General Lin Mi, whom my brother met before, is the beloved general of the lord. He has many meritorious deeds, but now he has only been promoted to a partial general."

He nodded repeatedly and patted Gamba's one arm: "Strong, if you do well in the exam and can defeat Lord He Pan, maybe your lord will add your official and give you a general's name!"

Gamba was overjoyed: "So it is! And this doorway!"

Uda hit the iron while it was hot: "Previously, there was a maid of honor in the palace, named Xu Yu, who was only tied with General He Pan's exam. The lord awarded her the position of general and led the personal guard Tiqi, which was more noble than ordinary generals, and she was from the fourth grade!"

Gamba doesn't know anything about "from the fourth grade" and "the fifth grade" and so on. He didn't pursue it, but just shouted, "Vu maid? Is it a woman?"

The two governors nodded: "Of course, the maid of honor is a woman."

Gamba listened more and more happily: "Then Lord, that's all! If a woman can still draw with him, can I beat him?

The two governors smiled and were speechless. Xu Yu has practiced hard since she was a child, and her agile body is rare in the world; He Pan is not as incompetent as Gamba thought. Although Gamba is brave and fights with He Pan, he is afraid of suffering the loss of one arm.

Gamba quickly saw that they didn't answer and asked confidently, "When I defeat Lord He, what kind of official should the king make me?"

Uda and Qijin looked at each other and felt that it was difficult for Ganba to beat He Pan. Qi Jin said, "Strong, if you can defeat General He, General He will give you the official. Why not?" Wu Da said, "Lord He Pan is the champion general and Lieutenant Hu Ben. His soldiers are strong and strong, and the whole country is unparalleled!"

Gamba was overjoyed, thinking that he should have taken the exam, robbed He Pan's official, seized his strongest army in the country, and led it himself! At present, he sighed, "According to what the two eldest brothers said! I'm going to take an exam!"

Uda said goodbye and quickly took Ganba back to Anhan and entrusted it to Li Tu to take care of him. When Zhao Yu and He Pan come back from Byzantium, they will quickly arrange an exam for Gamba.

After Zhao Jin led a group of people such as Xiao and He Pan to visit Mihaier and stayed in the hotel. Zhao Jin admired Byzantine art and was amazed. He Pan was very bored. Listening to the sound of the Byzantine court musicians, he only felt that there was no strength at all and could not wait to return to the court quickly. Unexpectedly, after returning to the court, there was a man who wanted to rob his officials and his soldiers!

Constantinople has not come to other monarchs in person for a long time, and it is in the winter. Mikhaier VIII was deeply encouraged and felt that this was God's blessing. The arrival of King Yanhan helped to improve the prestige of the ancient country for thousands of years. Thinking about this, his condition actually improved.

This year's Spring Festival, Zhao Jin spent in Constantinople. Both the solar calendar and the lunar calendar have come to 1282. According to historical facts, Mikherr should have died this year. But I don't know if Zhao Jin came here and gave him the strength to continue to survive? When people were happy, he was refreshed. Mikhaile recovered from a serious illness and was able to stand up and walk with the help of his close ministers.

Zhao Yu accompanied Mihaile until he basically recovered before he left and returned to China. Su Feiya was reluctant to leave. With the help of her maid, she disguised herself and sneaked out of the palace and went to the port to see her off. It turned out that Zhao Jin and Su Feiya dated from time to time, and the "ABC trilogy" had finished playing two parts, but they almost didn't fly for two nights. The reason why he did not propose is that Mikhaile miraculously got out of critical condition, and Zhao Jin no longer had the need to propose at the Byzantine scene.

This trip focuses on state affairs and has a strong political color. Therefore, Zhao Jin couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt when he saw Su Feiya, who was innocent and full of love, all the way to the port. Does the little princess understand politics?

As an old politician, Mikhaier VIII understands the political meaning of Zhao Jin's trip. Mikhaile knew that the young man fell in love with his daughter and the political prospects of teaming up with his country. Mikhaile was not surprised, but silently weighed the possibility of marriage between the two countries from the bottom of his heart. I was critically ill this time and almost met God. Next time, you may not be so lucky... You must quickly arrange your little daughter's lifelong event! At present, there is indeed no more suitable candidate than King Yanhan in the world. Although his country is not as strong as Eli, he is young and powerful. Marrying Su Feiya to him is not necessarily less meaningful than marrying Julia to Aba. Ababai has died, and it is bad news for the Byzantine Empire to hear that King Illi's new Khan was defeated. The empire must find new forces that can help. The Yanhan Kingdom continues to develop, just like the rising sun on the sea...

Under multiple balancings, Mikhaier felt that it was a good thing to marry Su Feiya to King Yanhan. However, the faith of King Yanhan is really a problem. It is impossible for the daughter of an Orthodox patriarch to marry a pagan, right?

...Infidels? No! Thinking of this, Mikhaile suddenly realized that King Yan Han was not a pagan! He should be a "unbeliever"!

So, how about marrying your daughter to someone who doesn't belong to any sect?

Miherr summoned Byzantine ministers and important figures of the Holy See to secretly discuss the matter. Everyone feels that this matter must be cautious. However, the speech of an important minister brightened Mikhaile's heart.

The important minister said, "Your Majesty, what do you think of the piety of the Lion Heart King?"

The Lionheart King, Richard I of England a hundred years ago, established an immortal reputation for his bravery and piety, and can be regarded as the most famous knight king in history. He followed the rules all his life and didn't even have a mistress; he hardly stayed in Britain during his reign as King of England. He fought for God overseas and could not speak English until he died!

The deeds of Richard the Lionheart King are well known in Europe. One of the most famous stories is that Richard launched the Third Crusade and fought against the Islamic Saladin the Great in the holy land of Jerusalem. Saladin the Great, who is not only brave, but also keeps his promise all his life and is broad-minded. He is a figure respected by both Islam and the crusaders. Such a strong enemy, only Richard deserves to compete with him. Therefore, under the attention of the armies on both sides, Richard and Saladin came out. They agreed that they don't need helpers, and they are single-to-single! After making a solemn promise, the two kings rushed against each other and tried their best to fight to the death! The soldiers were stunned. As he fought, Richard charged too hard and was knocked to the ground by the horse. Saladin rushed over, but did not kill Richard. Instead, he said, "I can't kill a knight without a horse." Just send his men to send a horse to Richard. Richard rode on Saladin's horse and continued to fight rudely. Saladin was inadvertently stabbed by Richard. Richard also said, "I can't kill a hero who has been injured." The two stopped fighting.

This is the model of heroes! This story has always been talked about by the people. In addition, Richard was insidiously captured by the Duke of Austria, shamelessly detained by the Holy Roman Emperor, rescued by a famous green forest hero - Robin Hood, a thief, usurped the throne by his unfaithful wife and greedy brother, and Richard generously forgave them after regaining the throne... A list of legendary stories. The deeds of this Lion Heart King are really endless for three days and nights.

What does it have to do with Orthodox Byzantium when it comes to such a famous Catholic historical figure? What does it have to do with the marriage currently under discussion? Mikheil was puzzled and said blankly, "The piety of the Lion Heart King is commendable. Whatever you want to say, just say it."

The important minister bowed: "Your Majesty! Please forgive me for expressing my bold opinions. I mean, why a devout figure like the Lionheart marries an English princess to a pagan?

"What?" Mikhall immediately called the historian for consultation: "Is it true that the Lion Heart King married the princess to a pagan?"

The historian looked through the history books and said, "Your Majesty, there is such a thing. Richard, the Lionheart, married his sister, Princess Ariel, to the pagan Adil.

"That's it." Mikhaile breathed a big sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face. A big problem in the heart is eliminated.

After a while, Fang Jianzhi, the envoy of Yan Han, came to Byzantium again to propose marriage to King Zhao Jin. Fang Jianzhi said to Mihar, "Your Majesty! Our Majesty came to Constantinople in person, witnessed your tenacity and wisdom, saw the prosperity and magnificence of your capital, and admired it very much! I heard that your daughter, Princess Su Feiya, has not yet been married. Our King admires her very much and specially sent me to propose.

Miher nodded. Of course, he knew that Zhao Jin had never heard that the princess was unmarried. Even Su Feiya has gone out to date Zhao Jin many times without telling her father, and Mikheil is clear about it. He neither blamed Zhao Jin for being untrue, nor for Su Feiya for concealing it. Political transactions, as long as they are beneficial, don't care about anything else.

Fang Jianzhi was afraid that Mikhaile would not agree and said euphemistically, "Your Majesty, whether you agree with the marriage, please accept this gift. If you don't agree to the marriage, our King can also understand your grievances and will never affect the friendly relations between the two countries.

"Is it hard?" Mikhaier stood up with the help of his close minister and smiled openly and generously, "What's wrong with me? I'm very happy! I am very satisfied to be able to marry my daughter to the young and capable king of your country. With that, Mikheil looked at the ministers on both sides and raised his voice, as if to listen to Fang Jianzhi. In fact, he told everyone clearly: "The Catholic Lion Heart King, in order to empathize the infidels, can marry his sister to the infidels. Am I not as good as his heart? His Majesty the Kingdom of Yanhan has heard that he has no religious beliefs. I am willing to marry my daughter to him. If he is affected in the future and is willing to convert to my teaching, that would be the best! Even if it doesn't work, as long as it is friendly with our country and provides convenience for promoting my teaching, it is also a great thing! It's worth celebrating!"

In this way, the Byzantine princess's promise to King Yan Han is already just right! Moreover, Su Feiya also wore the aura of the "repressive messenger" and took on the mission of promoting the holy religion. It can be called a saint who died for missionary work. What an honor!

So, Mikhail ordered a big banquet to celebrate the marriage contract between the princess and King Yan Han. Fang Jian was overjoyed and hurriedly sent money to the Byzantine ministers, so that they had no objection. As for the previous important minister who inspired Mikhere, he is already a close friend of Fang Jian, and naturally he gets more.

Princess Su Feiya finally has an engagement partner, and it is King Zhao Jin, whom she loves. She is very happy. As a result, she felt more sorry for her sister's fate. My sister married a dying old man first, and then married a half-old man who defeated the war... How unfortunate she is compared with her lucky self! What a pity! Su Feiya was so sad that she quickly picked out the most interesting and precious thing in Zhao Jin's betrothal gift and begged her father to send a messenger to bring it to Julia.
