The next day, Duanmu Ling was ordered to enter the palace.

No one cares whether he enters the palace or not, because the queen in the palace is his aunt, the emperor is his uncle, and the palace is like his second home, coming and going at will.

But this time, until the sun set in the afternoon, no one came out.

Duanding Hou Ye realized that something was wrong, if he was staying in the palace, he would also send someone back to report the news. But it's all at this time, and the eight times who followed him haven't even seen a shadow.

Mrs. Duandinghou had already taken it back, and she couldn't see her son, so she was very anxious. "Master, otherwise I'll go into the palace and ask!"

Duanding Hou Ye paced back and forth in the main hall, looking at the sunset that had set outside. Shaking his head, he said, "It's late, and I can't enter the palace now." ”

Duanmulin said: "Father, can you ask the people in the palace, maybe you will know some news." ”

Duanding Hou Ye thought about it, and instructed his eldest son, "Then you should go quickly! No matter what the news, you must come back." ”

"Yes. Duanmulin took the order and went out.

Duanmu said coolly: "Father, mother, you can rest assured! ”

"You know what. Duanding Hou Ye said impatiently.

Hmph, several sons in this family, one or two are ghosts, and they run away from home at the slightest breeze. Hmph, let's go! The spineless one is back.

Duanmu Liang bit his lip aggrievedly, what does it matter to him, what is angry with him!

Mrs. Duanding Hou said: "It's not the first time he's entered the palace, maybe he was delayed by something, and he should be fine." ”

"It's not the same time now!" Duanding Hou Ye sighed.

If it was before, Duanmu Ling would have been missing for a month, and he wouldn't care. But now is a critical period for the Holy Lord to withdraw his military power, and a careless person will anger the Holy One, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Although the emperor and queen in the palace are all relatives with them, in the end, the king is the king, and the minister is the minister!

There are many emperors in history who have killed their relatives in righteousness.

At this time, the housekeeper came in and asked if he was going to have dinner.

Duanding Hou Ye was very upset, and Duanding Hou was very worried in her heart, where could she eat.

The two elders didn't eat, and the remaining Duanmu Liang wanted to eat but couldn't, so he didn't need to eat this dinner.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Duanmulin, who went to inquire about the news, finally returned.

"Father-in-law He in the palace told me that the second brother is now kneeling outside the palace! ”

Duanmulin finished speaking breathlessly, and he didn't even have time to take a sip of tea.

"What?" After hearing this, Mrs. Duanding Hou almost fainted with shock.

Duanmu Ling was punished to kneel in the palace, which was something that had never happened before, since he was born for the first time.

Duanmu Liang is no longer careless, and really cares about his little overlord second brother. "Because of what?"

"What can you say it is for?" Duanding Hou Ye asked repeatedly.

Duanmulin breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone was a little calmer. "It was said that the emperor wanted to marry him and Miss Hejia, but the second brother refused to obey, so he was punished and knelt. ”

Marriage?

Only then did everyone remember that Duanmu Ling was indeed carrying a white holy decree on his body.

Now, the Holy One is going to write on this white decree.

However, why did you choose Hejia?

"Hejia?" Duanmu said coolly, "Heying Yingning, I don't want her to be my second sister-in-law." ”

Her performance at the last glass banquet made him very disgusted with this woman.

Besides, Yun Tinghua also kicked her eldest brother!

If you want him to say it, Yun Tinghua is reluctant to be his second sister-in-law, at least interesting. Well, it also smells like his second brother.

I heard that she is now exiled to Zhuangzi, but I can go and see it. Let's see if this woman who was robbed by her second brother is dying of self-pity.

Duanding Hou Ye glared at him reproachfully, "The Holy Lord has given marriage, how can you be allowed to pick and choose." ”

"But the He family, don't have much contact with us, what is the reason why the emperor asked us to marry the He family?" said Mrs. Duandinghou.

Duanding Hou Ye said: "Perhaps, the emperor will have his own plan." ”

"Father means ......" Duanmulin seemed to think of something.

"The He family has been in charge of the ministry for many years, and I am afraid that he has already done things for the emperor in private. Some talents, some officials, are afraid that they are pawns arranged by the emperor. If the marriage between the two families is successful, it will be a matter of time before the military power is decomposed, and those officials arranged by the family will come in handy. ”

Since they are in-laws, the two families are in the same boat.

If the Duanding Marquis Mansion is handed over and falls into the hands of the officials arranged by the Hejia, it is also logical. In the eyes of outsiders, the military power is still in the hands of the Duanding Marquis.

Change the soup without changing the medicine.

Because the Hejia and the Duanmu family are not separated from each other.

But the Hejia family, in fact, is not connected with the Duanmu family. And the family is the emperor's person.

The military power is equal to half of the royal power, and the saint can let his son fight the law. But only the power of the army cannot be used to fight, it must be in his hands.

Duanmulin said: "Are we really going to let go?"

If the Duanding Marquis Mansion has no military power, it is equivalent to a tiger without half of its teeth, and no matter how sharp its claws are, it can't bite the meat!

With such power, it is really difficult to let go.

Duanding Hou Ye sighed, "Starting with your grandfather, we are letting go little by little." We must always keep in mind the truth that the moon is full and we must go with the flow. Hard bracing or reverse reason, there is no good result. ”

As long as we are still together as a family, it doesn't matter where we eat. Mrs. Duanding Hou said.

With the current situation, what can you do if you don't let go, is it difficult to do it against the saint?

The butler re-entered the main hall.

The Second Prince's Mansion sent a message, saying that there was no need to worry and that nothing should be cared about. ”

Everyone was puzzled, and Mrs. Duanding Hou asked, "What else did he say?"

The housekeeper said, "No, that's it." ”

"Don't care about anything, do you let him kneel like this? ”

Duanmu smiled coldly: "Ouch mother, you can rest assured! My second brother's body is very hard and can't stand the suffering." ”

He has been beaten since he was a child, and he has suffered less?

Not to mention kneeling for a day and a night, it is common to be beaten and lying in bed for a month or two.

Duanding Hou Ye was not worried, he was thinking about the news sent by Zhao Wei.

Could it be that there is something else to do with his son's kneeling?

Although this stinky boy is old and often causes trouble, he is not without measure. Could it be that he wants to use this marriage to do something?

Well, that's the way this kid works.

"Okay, since the second prince promises to be fine, then he will be fine, let's go back to eat first!"

At this dinner tonight in the Duanding Hou Mansion, some people eat with peace of mind, and some people chew wax with the same taste.

But just like Zhao Wei said, Duanmu Ling was really fine, and he came back alive early the next morning.

"The floor was so cold, I was so guilty to kneel. So I agreed to the emperor's marriage and slept in the palace last night. ”

Duanmu Liang was very disdainful, "Second brother, you are too cowardly. I thought you had a lot of backbone, but I didn't expect that after kneeling for so many hours, I couldn't stand the compromise. Tsk, I really look down on it. ”

"If you have the ability, you will kneel for me. ”

"I'm stupid, I'm stupid. ”

In this way, when the holy decree arrived at the Duanding Marquis Mansion, the people of the entire Chang'an City knew that the Hejia and the Duanding Marquis Mansion were about to become Qin and Jin. 10
