Chapter Seventy-One: To Marry or Not to Marry?
Emperor Mingde took a sip of the newly added hair, felt that the taste was astringent and bitter, so he spit it out again, frowned thickly, and said coldly: "Why haven't people come yet?" β
"Your Majesty, it's here." Liang Yunsi looked out of the hall door with his eyes open, and a small eunuch was bowing his head and walking in.
The little eunuch is a palace person with a lower rank than Xiao Liangzi, and he is on an errand in the Taihe Palace, and he does the work of summoning courtiers, and ministers like Huo Baichuan and Yan Shiren are naturally invited by Liang Yunsi, but King Xian is just a abolished king who was imprisoned after Emperor Mingde ascended the throne, so he sent a little eunuch with an unknown name.
"Slaves see the emperor." The little eunuch knelt down, his head buried low, he ran to run back, it was hot outside, he was covered with sweat, panting, but he didn't dare to make a sound.
Emperor Mingde put the teacup on the dragon case, and before he could start to report, he said angrily: "What about the virtuous king? β
The voice was not loud, but it was extremely majestic, the little eunuch was frightened, and said with trepidation: "Back to the emperor, when the servants arrived at the Xianwang Mansion, they didn't find the Xianwang and the concubine, and the Imperial Forest Army still died." β
"Bang!" The teacups and the folds fell in response, smashing on the ground full of water, and a few of the folds fell to the ground, and they were soon blurred by the tea, blurring the handwriting.
"Talk back, King Xian can't be summoned or left the Mansion of King Xian, don't you know?" Liang Yunsi immediately reprimanded the little eunuch angrily.
The little eunuch was grateful, so he kowtowed, "The emperor forgives the sin, when the servants arrived at the palace, all the royal forest soldiers were killed, and the virtuous king and the concubine were nowhere to be found......"
"Go and Xuanqi." Emperor Mingde had a splitting headache, where could he still hear this crying and trembling voice. The sharp eyes swept away, and the little eunuch immediately shut up, and at the same time, someone from the palace had gone to invite Qi Xuan.
Liang Yunsi moved his steps lightly. changed Biluochun to Emperor Mingde, and opened the food box placed on one side, revealing the pastries inside, "Your Majesty, Li Meiren's newly made dim sum is said to be made of peonies from the Imperial Garden, you can taste it." β
With that, he put his hand behind him and waved it to the little eunuch. The little eunuch knelt down and crawled to the side, trying to suppress his sense of storage, where did Emperor Mingde still have the energy to care about anything else. He is exhausted by the floods in Jiangnan and Shuzhong, and all parties are ready to move, and now that a waste king can install eyeliner in the palace, his mood at the moment can no longer be described as irritable.
"Your Majesty."
Emperor Mingde looked up. Seeing that Qin Ji had appeared in front of him. was kneeling on the ground, "King Xian has changed his identity and disappeared into the city, but please rest assured that the emperor can't escape." β
As the leader of the Shadow Division, it is difficult for every move in the capital to escape his eyes, unless it is a few characters, such as Xie Yun, Yan Shiren, Huo Baichuan and others.
"I've been busy lately, and he's going to take advantage of it. Hmph, I have my own measure in this matter. You go and look it up. He took out a sachet from his arms, if the queen was there, he would have recognized this sachet as the **** for Emperor Mingde.
The Shadow Division monitors the courtiers and the kings, the Xian King is different, and he escaped, it stands to reason that he is derelict in his duties, but Emperor Mingde doesn't want him to take care of it anymore, he is also happy to be idle, but when he sees the words on the sachet, he is shocked, the emperor wants to check Queen Yide?
His heart was shaken, but his face remained unchanged, and he respectfully took the sachet and said goodbye.
When he retreated, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Qi Xuan, also carried his sword into the Taihe Palace, Qi Xuan was a big man with a righteous face, although he looked five big and three thick, but it did not give people a sense of recklessness, but made people feel that this person was very strong and majestic.
He was dressed in armor and military boots, his face was cold, and he came to Emperor Mingde and knelt down on one knee, "The minister is derelict in his duties, please ask the emperor to surrender." "The voice is also very loud, and it is inexplicably reassuring to listen to in the ears.
Emperor Mingde motioned for him to get up, "Flat, I will give you a chance to atone for your sins, dig three feet into the ground, and find out the abolished king for me, otherwise the new crimes and old mistakes will be punished together!" β
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qi Xuan hurriedly knelt down again.
Before he could ask, Emperor Mingde had lost his patience, waved his hand, and said very tiredly: "I ordered you to assist Huo Baichuan in finding King Xian." β
said to be assistance, in fact, it is surveillance, King Xian can make small moves in the case of being confined, it can be seen that the ability is not small, as the prince of the dynasty, the brother of the current emperor, if he says that he does not want the throne, who believes it?
Qi Xuan has followed Emperor Mingde for decades, and he knows his temper very well, at this time, I am afraid that he is paying attention to the armament of King Xian, but the abolished king who has been imprisoned, although he can install eyeliner in the palace, but if he has anything worthy of Emperor Mingde's search, it really has no credibility.
However, since Emperor Mingde arranged it like this, he could only receive his orders, otherwise the crime of abolishing the king and escaping was enough for him to sit in prison.
Coming out of the order from Emperor Mingde, Qi Yan looked at the sky, squinted his eyes, and sighed long, I'm afraid it's time to change the sky, he has been waiting for all these years, waiting for an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, it seems that the time has come.
What does it mean to be the commander of the Guards all day? Going into battle to kill the enemy and waving millions of troops to expand the territory is what a man should do.
Retracting his gaze, he stepped down the stairs of the Taihe Hall step by step, stepped on the scorching sun, and walked out of the palace.
After he left the palace, Emperor Mingde issued several holy decrees in a row, and the eunuchs who announced the decrees ran to several princes' mansions.
Among them, Xiao Duzi was sent to the Four Princes' Mansion, and he pinched his sharp voice and shouted: "The Four Princes take the order!" β
Zhao Biben was drinking tea with the concubine in the house, and suddenly received the holy decree, he sighed in his heart, so he lifted the beautiful concubine in his arms and strode towards Xiao Duzi, "Dugonggong, I don't know what happened?" β
Since the last time he fell out of favor with Emperor Mingde in the Taihe Palace, he has never received a summons, let alone a reward, and he is a little flustered in his heart, instinctively feeling that something bad must have happened.
His intuition was not wrong at all, Xiao Duzi smiled and beat a thousand, "Fourth Highness, please accept the order." β
The holy decree came quickly, and there was no need for Zhao Bi to take his family to bathe and burn incense to complete the procedure, he threw off his robe and knelt on the ground, Liang Yunsi did not like the four princes, Xiao Duzi was his apprentice, naturally he did not like it, and when he saw him kneeling, he began to read: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, my son, the four sons, from now on, I will read it in the house, and I will not go out of the house half a step without a call!" β
After Zhao Bi listened, the whole person was stunned, the royal family has a good face, the average royal child has committed a crime, and the trap cannot be called a trap ban, it is called a retreat to do learning. But as we all know, those who are generally sent to study in the government cannot go out again.
"The Four Princes. Take it. Xiao Duzi also knows the unspoken rules in the palace, and I don't know which lord drafted this holy decree, but the emperor actually agreed, so it can be seen that it will take a long time for several princes to come out.
The king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, the father wants the son to die, and the son dares to disobey? He kowtowed reluctantly, "Erchen takes the order." β
Little Duzi placed the holy decree in his hand. Holding the dust, he said: "Fourth Highness, you are good to be born and study in the mansion, and the miscellaneous family has to rush to the Nine Emperors' Mansion." β
Zhao Bi's eyes moved. pulled Xiao Duzi and stuffed a silver ticket into his wide sleeve, "Dugong Du, what's the matter with going to the Nine Emperors' Mansion?" β
It's not impossible to say this. Xiao Duzi has been in the palace for more than twenty years. Where do you not know the truth that you can't be a man, although you don't like Zhao Bi, but after all, you are a prince, and now you are locked up, but maybe there will be a great creation in the future?
He accepted the silver ticket very respectfully, and said with a smile: "The four highnesses don't know anything, all the princes, the emperor has made the same will." Don't leave the house, Your Highness don't worry. It wasn't His Royal Highness who annoyed the emperor. β
Zhao Bi is waiting for an idler, Xiao Du Zi said, he already knew what was going on, Emperor Mingde was going to start cleaning up the family and the kings, and the battle for the throne should be postponed.
Thinking of this trick, the corners of his mouth rose, and he smiled and told the housekeeper to send Xiao Duzi away.
Emperor Mingde moved fast, Huo Baichuan couldn't be slow, a white pigeon puffed and instigated its wings, and landed on the summer window coffin of Huo Mansion, Xiaopang reached out and grabbed the white pigeon and took off the bamboo tube tied to his feet.
Just as he was about to hand it to Huo Baichuan, Duozi pushed the door and entered, "Son, the emperor has decreed that all princes should not leave the house without a call, Wen Yan went out of the city and went straight to Huguo Temple." β
Huo Baichuan yawned lazily, lay on the chaise longue and stretched, "What's the hurry, go and call Hu Lin, doesn't the little county lord want to investigate the death of Master Miaokong?" Liu Ren'an must have found some fur, let Hu Lin lead someone to continue the investigation, send him some evidence, and when Qi Yan comes, you will let him assist Hu Lin in thoroughly investigating the case of Master Miaokong. β
Xiaopang and Duozi glanced at each other, and the questions in their hearts chose to be put in their stomachs, Qi Xuan was the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, how could he be sent out lightly?
Naturally, Huo Baichuan would not explain lightly, yawned again, glanced at the bamboo tube in Xiaopang's hand, and said, "Let it go, it's a good sleep in the summer heat, I'll sleep again." With that, he rolled over and fell asleep again.
Chubby and Duozi glanced at each other again, shrugged helplessly, and after putting the bamboo tube on the case, Chubby retreated outside the door, and Duozi went down to do something.
After a while, the porter came to report: "Lord Qi is here." β
Xiaopang pulled the placket of his clothes, Gongzi was really clever, but what he didn't know was that Huo Baichuan had calculated Emperor Mingde's temperament, and he deliberately let go of Wen Yan, just to make Emperor Mingde angry, angry and suspicious, so that he wouldn't trust him too much, and if he didn't believe enough, he would naturally send someone to monitor him.
What he wants is someone to monitor, so that he can save some manpower and material resources, and he can also take a nap in the house, he is not like Wei Tingsi, he does everything himself, and someone calls him to do it himself, how stupid is it?
Qi Xuan is not an ordinary person after all, it is impossible for the porter to let him wait outside the door, he has been brought to the living room, Xiaopang remembered his son-in-law's words, and instructed the porter: "Take Lord Qi to see Duozi, the son is not in the house." β
The lies that were pulled out at will, the porter didn't know, I don't know how many such things have happened, I have long been accustomed to it, and bowed down to retire, leaving only Xiaopang alone to muttered silently under the eaves: "If the son changes to fortune-telling, business will be booming." β
Half Immortal Huo Baichuan slept for two hours, and when he got up with half squinting eyes, the sun had sunk, he turned over and sat up straight, reached out and took the bamboo tube on the shore, took off the note inside and unfolded it.
After reading the contents of the note, the whole person was completely sleepy, "Call Xian'er over." "How can this be reasonable, to beat the attention of his Huo family's daughter-in-law, it's just too ignorant, he Huo Baichuan is not dead!
Xiaopang heard that his son-in-law's tone was wrong, and knew that something big must have happened, and the Huo family suffered a big loss, otherwise the son-in-law would not be so anxious.
Huo Guxian has become older over the years, but he still looks like Zhengtai, with big eyes, blown-breakable skin, and exquisite and handsome facial features, all of which show the excellent genes of the Huo family.
He pushed open the door of Huxia and raised his hand to salute respectfully, "Second uncle." β
"Why don't you kid grow?" Huo Baichuan took a sip of tea to reduce the fire, and his face was gloomy at this time. It was as if someone owed a debt and didn't pay it, which made Huo Guxian a little scared.
The entire Huo family, he is not afraid. Even the most majestic grandfather he is not afraid, but he is afraid of this smiling and arrogant second uncle on weekdays.
'Why don't you see it?' How do you want him to answer such a question? For a moment, he was stunned.
Chubby brought the door, stayed outside, and pricked up his ears to listen. has made up his mind, if the son is embarrassed by the little son, he will immediately go to find Aunt Dan.
"How about the second uncle send you to the Guozijian tomorrow?" Huo Baichuan felt that this nephew who grew up with him didn't follow him at all. I don't know who I followed, and I didn't look like a gentleman of a family.
As a son of a family, you must have talent, and you must also have a gentleman. This is not in vain to be born in a valve family. Isn't this example enough?
Huo Guxian's face turned bitter, "Second uncle, where does Guozijian accept eleven or twelve-year-old students?" What's more, if your nephew enters the Guozi Prison, outsiders are not allowed to say that you are causing trouble to the dynasty? β
"So sensible, it seems that it's time to marry your daughter-in-law, enter the palace with the second uncle tomorrow, and the second uncle will take you to the queen mother to ask for a marriage decree." His tone was cold.
Huo Guxian was precocious. Others thought he didn't know that he had been labeled as Zhao Shufujun, but he knew. It's just that he doesn't say it, it's not that he doesn't like Zhao Shu, but Zhao Shu only treats him as a junior, not modestly speaking, it's that Zhao Shu thinks he looks cute, and he hurts more on weekdays, and he has never treated him as a fiancΓ©, and he is just a sister-like respect to Zhao Shu, he can feel that Zhao Shu is all good to him, but only for the younger generation.
But after all, it is a major marriage event, and after listening to Huo Baichuan's words this time, he couldn't help but turn red, and said hesitantly: "My nephew is still young, and I don't want to marry yet." β
"Who are you with an elm head, how can I teach you?" Huo Baichuan poked his head hatefully, "It's not that you want to marry right away, make a reservation first, so as not to rob some people who are not long-sighted." β
Huo Guxian didn't understand anymore, he scratched his head blankly, "This is not good, if you find out that both parties do not like it in the future, or if there is an accident, it is unfair to the girl, why does the husband have no wife, and he will rob it, and if it is the nephew's others, it will not be the nephew's, and the nephew will not be able to keep it." β
"Huh." Huo Baichuan was so angry that he lost his temper, and looked Huo Guxian up and down, this was taught by himself? Did you grow up with yourself?
"If you don't marry today and let someone else snatch it away, you will regret not crying to me in the future." It took a while for him to hold back such a sentence.
Huo Guxian replied very seriously, "Second uncle, my nephew hasn't looked for you for a long time and cried." β
"Huh." Huo Baichuan held his heart, his heart was injured by 10,000 points, it was like ten thousand arrows piercing his heart, "I can endure it, my wings are hard." β
Huo Guxian bowed his head, looking serious about being trained, but never admitting his mistakes, stubborn expression, cute and aggrieved, if he showed the woman and felt distressed, what about people or children, how could he be reprimanded like this?
"You don't care, but how many people know that she is your future lady, if you marry someone else in the future, see how you will behave in the future, the second uncle will ask you again, will you marry?"
When he said this, his heart was already active. What's so good about people who beg for a living on the knife's edge? In the future, I don't know how long I can live, even if I don't die after the battle, the military power is withdrawn, or the merit shocks the lord and causes the disaster of death, see what she does!
On weekdays, he looks very shrewd, but he didn't expect to choose such a dangerous person, why didn't he know how to avoid the evil? This Wei boy is really, don't you know how dangerous he is? A woman marries home not to pass on her ancestry, nor to satisfy her empty heart, let alone to marry back to anyone, but to give her a stable harbor and a happy life.
It's just, what do you care? Someone else's life is someone else's decision.
Shaking his head, he threw away his chaotic thoughts, and he didn't hear Huo Guxian's answer, and asked again: "To marry or not to marry?" You give me a good word. β
"Second uncle, the dynasty is not stable, why is it home? Nephews don't marry. "I prevaricated with a reasonable reason, I can't marry myself anyway, it's better to let the second uncle die early, or to return him to cleanliness, the homework assigned by the master has not been completed.
"Madame can't keep it, how can I stabilize the country?" Huo Baichuan is angry, it's just that a heart that wants to do homework, how to save a heart that is blindly worried?
After finishing speaking, he thought about it and asked dangerously: "Isn't it your intention?" β
Huo Guxian looked at his second uncle very maturely and steadily, and simply followed his wishes, nodding, "Well, so my nephew will never marry Sister Ajun, if the second uncle has to hire Sister Ajun as the daughter-in-law of the Huo family, you marry yourself, and the nephew still has unfinished schoolwork, and the nephew will retire." β
He didn't say the last sentence, that is, 'Second uncle, can you go to the child's heart and be more mature, how can Sister Ajun marry if she wants to?' β
Huo Baichuan was speechless when he heard this, he just stared at Huo Guxian and nodded, a bit like he had taught it. (To be continued.) )
