Chapter 453 "The Story of General Two Hundred and Fifty (Part 1)"
"What? You want me to marry the princess?? "
In the huge government office, General Two Five's shouts were so loud that even the windows were buzzing. This guy jumped up and his head almost hit the ceiling.
The fat on Longbottom's face was squeezed into a funny ball. He shook his head violently and waved his hands: "No, no! Absolutely not! Absolutely absolutely not!! This kind of thing, I won't do it even if you beat me to death … … If you don't beat me to death, I won't do it! "
Du-Wei sighed and comforted the number one general under his command: "My general, this is a good job! You've seen our princess Louise, is she not beautiful enough? Let me tell you, in the capital, the young nobles who want her can line up from the palace gate all the way to the other side of the Lancang Canal! Moreover, she is the Prince Regent's sister. Her status is noble and she is the pride of the royal family. Is she not good enough for you? Moreover … we urgently need to stabilize her. If you want to settle a woman, what other method is more direct and effective than marrying her home and teaching her a lesson? "
Longbottom was unmoved: "No means no! My mother … … a princess, I can't afford to lose weight! Moreover, with my physique and my age, I don't think we're compatible … More importantly, I hate dealing with nobles the most in my life! If I marry the princess, won't I fall into the nobility's nest? No discussion! Absolutely no discussion! I say boss, if you want me to lead troops to war and kill people, I won't even frown. But this kind of work … … damn it, it requires too much skill! I, old Longbottom, can't do it! "
Longbottom was very determined.
I marry the princess? What a joke!
I, General Two Hundred and Fifty, was born to be big and strong. I can drink a leather bag of strong liquor and a jin of beef for a meal! With the weight of my body, it would be difficult to find a single warhorse in the entire army that could carry me! Princess Louise is so small and delicate, I can easily crush her to death. Marrying her as his wife?
What's more, in Longbottom's heart, a princess of the royal family should sit in the palace and listen to melodious music. She should chat in low voices, drink tea, and talk about the weather, art, and other hypocritical and elegant topics. Then, when she was interested, she could even stand up and perform an elegant palace dance along with the music …
Even if Longbottom was beaten to death, he wouldn't be able to endure that kind of life!
Seeing General 250 shaking his head like a rattle-drum, Du Wei didn't have any temper. Philip's heart was trembling with fear. If Longbottom didn't take up this task, he was afraid that the Duke would be thrown into his hands again!
No! Absolutely not! No matter what, he had to push Longbottom out!
'If it's a mission, General, 'said Philip slowly.
Longbottom was silent for a moment, his face turning serious. After thinking for a moment, he still shook his head: "I'm sorry, Duke … … I still can't agree. Moreover, have you all forgotten? I already have a wife! "
When these words came out, Du Wei and Philip were silent.
It was not because of anything else, but because … … this matter, in fact, was understood by many of the strategists and generals of the Tulip Family. It was a hidden pain in General 250's heart!
In fact, Longbottom did have a wife in his early years. It was said that he did, and that wife was married when he was young. Later, he was ordered to be stationed in the grasslands, and left his wife in his hometown. It was said that his wife came from a rich family in her hometown.
It was said that Longbottom was very good to his wife. He often boasted: 'I, a rough man, can marry such a beautiful girl, it is simply a pie in the sky!'
Therefore, it was rumored that Longbottom, the two-hundred-and-fifty-year-old general, was fearless in the heavens and on earth, but he only obeyed his wife's every word and was gentle in every way.
After he was transferred to the Northwest, he knew that the Northwest was bitter and cold, so he left his wife at home. He also left behind a large amount of valuable family property. After all, he was still an imperial general and was quite rich.
After that, Longbottom continued to write letters to his family and sent people to deliver all kinds of things. At the same time, he occasionally took advantage of his holidays to rush home to visit his family.
There was once when Longbottom heard that his wife was sick. Longbottom ran for six days and six nights until four horses died. When he reached home, his wife had already recovered from her illness … However, because this 250 year old general was running as fast as his life depended on it, the moment he reached home, this 250 year old general who was as strong as an ox collapsed. In the end … he himself fell seriously ill!
But then, Longbottom married another wife in the grasslands. Of course, according to the imperial law, that wife was only a concubine.
That incident was also one of the famous deeds of this 250 general: At that time, he was the leader of the twenty thousand cavalrymen stationed in the grasslands. He was a general and could be considered a big figure. Under the method of dividing and roping in, he became famous in the grasslands. That time, when two large tribes formed an alliance to form a marriage alliance, in order to destroy the unity between the tribes, Longbottom deliberately brought people to intercept the wedding team. Then, he rudely asked to see the face of the bride … … According to the customs of the grasslands, of course, this was not allowed.
Later, everyone knew that Longbottom deliberately let the poor chief's daughter not get married successfully. In the end, he married the chief's daughter himself. He also left behind a famous hooligan's words: Isn't it just a few freckles on her face? I think her appearance is just ordinary! Hmph … … Not allowed to see? Why not let me see? She can't get married after seeing? Good! That's simple, I'll marry her! I'll take her back and look at her carefully! I'll look at her however I want! At night, I'll strip her naked and look at her whole body! F * ck!
In the end, this matter became General Longbottom's second marriage … … A marriage with some political color.
Moreover, in fact, everyone later knew that although Longbottom's methods were a bit hooligan, he was actually very good to his wife. Moreover, relying on the large tribe behind his wife, Longbottom was like a fish in water in the prairie. With only 20,000 cavalry, he was able to pacify the prairie into submission. This kind of skill, even Du Wei couldn't help but sigh when he read about Longbottom's deeds! Such a talent was framed by those villains in the imperial capital!
Later on, the good times didn't last long. Longbottom was removed from his position because he offended the nobles in the imperial capital and was arrested back to the imperial capital for trial.
At this time, his little wife from the grasslands, who was the chief's daughter, was still waiting for him for a long time. She even asked for a large amount of money from her family tribe and sent it to the imperial capital to help Longbottom fight the lawsuit and smooth the way.
Unfortunately, the nobles that Longbottom had offended were because Longbottom had ruined their business of privately selling weapons to the grasslands. Therefore, even though they had spent a lot of money, Longbottom was still convicted and imprisoned in the prison of the Empire's Ministry of Supervision.
Fortunately, after the large amount of money was spent, there was some effect — — at least his life was saved.
If he didn't meet Du Wei, Longbottom was afraid that he would continue to live in the imperial censor's prison, or be locked up until his death. Or, if he waited another ten or twenty years, when the new emperor praised him and pardoned the world, he might be too old to walk by the time he came out.
The so-called "tea cools when people are gone", this sentence could be applied to almost any place!
When Longbottom was just removed from his military position and returned to the imperial capital for investigation, at the beginning, everyone thought that Longbottom had been in the grasslands for many years and had contributed a lot, so the empire wouldn't get rid of such a meritorious general.
At that time, there were still many people who believed that he would soon make a comeback. After all, he was a young general and had talent.
Therefore, at the beginning, because Longbottom's influence was still there, a few large tribes that had a good relationship with him were also willing to fork out money and goods under his wife's persuasion in an attempt to help Longbottom get off the hook.
But in the end, as the days passed, everyone gradually understood that this time, this 250 General was really going to fall from power!
Thus, gradually, the phrase "tea cools when people are gone" was undoubtedly reflected!
What Longbottom never expected was that the first to leave him was not the mistress of the grassland tribe! It was the official wife who stayed in his hometown!
While Longbottom was in prison, he received a letter from his wife. That woman directly told Longbottom in the letter: She wanted a divorce.
At that time, Longbottom just calmly sent the person who delivered the letter away, and then he wrote a reply that night, agreeing to his wife's request for a divorce. After all, he had committed a crime now, and only God knew what his future fate would be. This careless old man still loved his wife very much and didn't want to drag her down, so he agreed to the divorce.
On the other hand, Du Wei learned from Longbottom's most trusted subordinate, the one known as "Little Two Hundred and Fifty", a detail that made Longbottom very sad:
When Longbottom was in prison, the mistress in the grassland spared no effort to raise money everywhere in an attempt to rescue Longbottom. But the official wife in his hometown, who lived a luxurious life, didn't even say a word from beginning to end!
She didn't say a word, didn't write a letter, and didn't spend a single copper coin!
But in the end, she directly sent a divorce letter!
From beginning to end, Longbottom didn't complain about his official wife. He felt that he had wronged her. He had been in the northwest grassland all year round to serve the Empire, after all, he had neglected his wife at home. She was in the prime of her youth, and how many women could endure this kind of loneliness all year round?
However, the little 250 Guetta also revealed a secret that was rarely known to outsiders.
Just when Longbottom was in prison, the trial reached a critical point. At that time, there was an opportunity because the old emperor, Augustine VI, was fond of grandiose achievements, and spent a lot of military funds on an expedition to the southeast. The Empire's finances were very tight at that time. Therefore, the old Emperor issued an imperial decree that all criminals could atone for their crimes by paying money!
At that time, as long as Longbottom could raise a sum of money, he might have a chance to escape. Even if he couldn't get out immediately, he could at least reduce his sentence by a lot. Maybe in two or three years, he could be released.
Unfortunately, at that time, the tribes in the grassland were no longer willing to pay. No matter how Longbottom's mistress went back to the tribe and begged, everyone felt that the general had fallen and no one was willing to pay.
As a result, a few of Longbottom's trusted old subordinates ran back to Longbottom's hometown to ask his wife for help. At that time, the two of them hadn't divorced yet.
The one who personally went was Little 250, Little 250, Guida. Guida was practically a subordinate trained by Longbottom, almost like half of Longbottom's son. Although the age difference between the two was less than ten years.
In the end, whenever Guida talked about this matter, he would gnash his teeth in hatred! This was what Little 250 said:
"Our general left behind a lot of property in his hometown! These were all his savings over the years! There was a manor, an orchard, and a few big houses! That's right! Our general might have wronged that woman! But as soldiers, who didn't serve the empire at the borders?! That hateful woman, for so many years, she was supported by the general's property. She lived a life of luxury, unlike us in the northwest! But when something happened to the general, she didn't even let out a fart! When we ran back to our hometown and said that we needed to raise a sum of money to save the general! Do you know what that woman did to us?? She sent people to chase us out! She even sent a sharp-tongued old steward to threaten us! If we didn't leave, she would report to the local garrison that we were bandits!! Damn it! Those properties belong to the general! Not that woman's!! "
