Chapter 174: Duan Xiang's decision
The hall suddenly fell silent, and the three words gently echoed in everyone's ears as if they had an echo.
Everyone thought that Duan Xiang was either furious or ignored or scolded or made it difficult to hold accountable, but no one expected that there was no trace of anger in the people's body, and they only said these three words quite calmly.
In an instant, everyone felt that the god who controlled life and death was facing an ant, and gently raised his finger, and the ant disappeared without a trace.
Everyone's minds are very complicated, how did they practice this height and style? You can't learn in your whole life, right?
Qiu Xiang was even more panicked in his heart, pretending to be a fairy all day long, why didn't he just drive the crane west and still mess around in the world? Die early and become an immortal early!
That's right, Qiu Xiang would rather become a heavenly immortal when Duan Xiang stands, even if he is beyond him as an ordinary man, he doesn't want to see this nasty face again!
Xuanyuan felt more keen, and naturally more clearly perceived Duan Xiang's hidden attitude, twisting his thick black sword eyebrows, Xuanyuan looked at Duan Xiang carefully, but only saw a calm in his eyes, it was the calm that the dust had settled after announcing the death penalty of others.
Xuanyuan frowned, he and this old man really didn't get together for a day! Alas, things are going to be fast, they are going to be fast!
Xuanyuan was indignant on the other side, if he hadn't looked at Xi'er, he would have personally beaten his father-in-law with a sack.
Duan Xiang's calmness is indeed because he made up his mind to let "Yang Jun" disappear immediately or sacrifice to die.
Xi'er's attitude doesn't need to be tested anymore, no matter how hard the duck refuses to admit it, she is indeed moved by Yang Jun.
Duan Xiang shuddered when he thought about it, this is something that is absolutely not allowed to happen, Xi'er can only be a woman of Kang'er's father in this life, and no one can change this. Xi'er took a wrong step, and he, a father, could only prepare a coffin board for her.
Duan Xiang closed his eyes, Yang Jun, it must be solved immediately!
Xuanyuan looked at Duan Xiang again, and felt that the old man was about to produce a moth again.
King Duan watched the turmoil in the room from the side, and sneered in his heart, Lord will not mix this time, see what you can do. Thinking of the princess with a big belly in the house, King Duan's expression softened a little, and the imperial doctor said that it was a boy.
King Ping on the other side caught a glimpse of the change in his expression, and he was disdainful, the master was also a kid without looking at it. It's annoying to have too many boys!
The court meeting passed in a few trivial things that seemed to be calm, and when the court was dispersed, everyone was a little disappointed, thinking that Duan Xiang would make trouble in the court, but who knew that people didn't say a few words from beginning to end.
Alas, there is no good show to watch today.
Duan Xiang left the main hall but did not leave immediately, but walked to the side, looking in the direction of going to the emperor's imperial study.
Everyone's eyes suddenly widened, there was a play. Collapsed face again, the imperial study, how do we see the excitement? One by one, they sighed and walked out.
Duan Wang only glanced at it and then turned around and continued walking, without pausing.
King Ping thought about it, hesitated, and walked towards the harem.
Yang Jun saw it from a distance, and couldn't help sighing, the old man was looking for trouble for himself.
"What did you say?" The Emperor asked in surprise.
Duan Xiang said in a deep voice: "The minister intends to let the third daughter observe the festival in her mother's house, and she will not marry twice in this life." β
The emperor frowned: "Then Yang Jun..."
Duan Xiang saluted: "They... Can't be together anymore. β
The emperor clicked his mouth unconsciously, what is this messing with?
"How can there be an old man like you who beats mandarin ducks?" The emperor's eyes were deep and said: "You yourself are happy and have regained your face, but what about your grandson?" β
Duan Xiang was stunned and said without hesitation: "The ministers are raised." β
The emperor said with a serious face: "How can there be a child raised by a foreign family?" β
Duan Xiang didn't say this, but said: "The grandson of the minister has memorized the enlightenment things such as "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Text", and the minister decided to enlighten him personally and teach the four books first. β
"Wait, wait," the emperor said to pluck out his ears, "I remember the last year when your grandson was only one or two years old?" Five or six years old this year? β
Duan Xiang couldn't help but show a little smugness on his face: "The minister's grandson is sensitive and studious, and he will never forget it." β
The emperor's face was complicated, "Duan Qing is so blessed." β
Duan Xiang added: "If it weren't for the weakness of the wrist, the leather boy would have been clamoring to write big characters." β
Emperor... Is this showmanship?
Duan Xiang thought about it, it was better to make a plan frankly first, and said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that the Marquis of Wuning recognized his grandson as his great-grandson?" β
The emperor was a little unhappy in his heart, thinking that he also wanted to learn the Yang family's kung fu when he was young, but he was rejected, rejected, rejected!
"Well, your grandson has such a big face!"
"The minister is terrified." Duan Xiang heard the emperor's unhappy tone, and first confessed, and said a little indignantly: "That old... Marquis Wu Ning began to lecture to his grandson behind his back. β
The emperor was surprised: "Can he understand?" β
Duan Xiang shook his head: "This minister doesn't understand very well, but the minister listened to his grandson and memorized a few words, and he didn't see anything else." β
Seeing his proud appearance, the emperor became angry in his heart: "Do you want to send a team of soldiers and horses to your grandson to see how much he has learned the art of arranging formations to kill the enemy?" β
Duan Xiang choked, and hurriedly bowed his head to confess his guilt, why did he get angry when he said it?
"Okay, I know your grandson's origin, what are you talking about?"
Duan Xiang summed it up brilliantly: "So, the grandson of the minister is too good, Yang Jun... can't bear this teaching responsibility, and the minister is willing to take their mother and son back to the house and teach Kang'er in person. β
The emperor watched him silently for a long time.
Duan Xiang was a little uncomfortable.
The emperor sighed and said earnestly: "Duan Qing, this child is not something that can be born alone. Your third daughter, I still have a little impression, very that... Ahem, your grandson is smart and agile, and most of the time he came with his father. Isn't that a bit of a way for you to do that... Pull the ladder up behind you? β
Duan Xiang is a stalk, obviously he has inherited his excellent bloodline, okay?
"What the emperor said is, it's just that, in Yichen's opinion, Kang'er inherited more from his father's ancestors, and Yang Jun is really... Don't take sides, in order not to delay your grandson, please also ask the emperor... Reconcile it. β
The emperor said: "Reconcile them and leave?" β
Duan Xiangxin was ruthless and said, "The minister is willing to keep the festival for the rest of her life!" β
The Emperor's eyes widened suddenly, and then he narrowed again: "You really decided to do so?" β
Duan Xiang nodded without hesitation, "Yes." β
The emperor's face sank, and he suddenly asked, "What does your daughter think?" β
Duan Xiang's face did not move, and he asked her, don't even think about it.
"That's what the minister's daughter thinks too."
The emperor stared at him for a long time, and Duan Xiang's eyelids didn't tremble.
"Okay, after all these years of training, Duan Qing's ghost words are the same as the truth."
Duan Xiang twitched cheekily.
"Your Majestyβ"
The Emperor raised his hand.
"Let's let this matter go first, I want Yang Jun to go out to do a secret thing, and I don't know when I will come back," said his face sank: "I don't know if I can come back." Duan Qing, you won't let your daughter abandon her husband at this time, right? β
Duan Xiang thought for a while, and saluted: "The minister listens to the emperor." β
The emperor nodded, as if to soothe, "I know that you feel sorry for your daughter, Yang Jun... It's really a loss to your daughter..."
"The minister is terrified."
"However, our monarchs and ministers have been together for all these years, and I can't bear to let you worry about your daughter's labor, so that your daughter can live a safe and smooth life, and you can still do it without worrying about food and clothing."
Duan Xiang was overjoyed, and bowed respectfully.
The emperor looked at Duan Xiang's back as he withdrew, and sighed lightly, Duan Xiang really took his third daughter to heart. But... The emperor touched his chin, what a good seedling, Duan Xiang is a good blessing, and Marquis Wu Ning has a good eye!
Xuanyuan immediately asked to see him, and the emperor looked at him with a smile.
"Guess what your father-in-law just said?"
Xuanyuan has a black face, just look at the schadenfreude on your face, and you know that it is not a good word.
"Hehe, if you want to live a life with a wife and filial son, you have to work hard."
Xuanyuan gritted his teeth, he definitely did it.
"I helped you stop it first. But it's hard to say later. β
Xuanyuan grinded his teeth, "Thank you, Your Majesty." β
The emperor laughed for a while, and then asked, "Are you all ready?" β
Xuanyuan also collected his thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "You can set off today." β
The emperor pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Then let's go today, and don't leak a trace of rumors." β
"Yes."
Xuanyuan came out, walked for a while, and met King Ping.
"The prince hasn't left the palace yet?"
King Ping nodded and said: "This king saw Duan Xiang going to see his father, and felt that it had something to do with you, so he went to his mother's concubine, and he could come over and say a few words to you at any time." How? King Ping stretched out his head: "Duan Xiang is gone?" β
Xuanyuan's face was not very good-looking: "It's gone." β
King Ping knew it, and he really guessed it.
"What does Duan Xiang want to do?"
Xuanyuan sighed: "What else can I do, the emperor called me in later, but he didn't say it, after all, I can't please me." β
King Ping couldn't help but pat Xuanyuan's shoulder sympathetically: "You... Be careful. Since Duan Xiang came out, he wanted to make people who couldn't please him, but in the end he couldn't please him. β
Regulus sighed deeply.
King Ping couldn't help but be glad that he was serious about his father-in-law's peace of mind at the moment, and he didn't have any trouble except for some small benefits. If it's like a paragraph... King Ping shook his head, it's not a good thing that the old man is too powerful.
"Don't worry, this king will go and help you talk about it."
Xuanyuan shook his head: "That's not necessary. β
King Ping was surprised.
"But there is something I want to ask the prince."
"You say."
"I have received an errand and will leave today, and I don't know when I will return. After the minister left, the house... I also hope that when something happens, I can get the help of the prince. β
King Ping was shocked: "Leave today?" β
Xuanyuan nodded: "I'm going back to the house now, and I'll set off after settling in the house." β
King Ping's pupils shrank, and he asked casually, "What kind of errand is so urgent?" β
Xuanyuan's face was embarrassed, "This..."
King Ping was displeased, but said with a smile: "I understand, it was my father who confessed, and this king doesn't ask." β
Xuanyuan heard that he was unhappy, so he only hesitated for a moment and leaned closer, looking left and right.
King Ping's heart moved, and his ears couldn't help leaning over there.
"The minister doesn't know, the emperor only gave a location and said that he was going to find someone to contact."
King Ping frowned, could it be the manpower of his father's secret? Shocked again, Yang Jun has been favored to this status? A proper imperial henchman.
It's just--really, as he says, he doesn't know what's going on?
Seeing his expression, Xuanyuan smiled bitterly and said, "The prince doesn't believe it? But the minister can only say so much, and the minister doesn't know anything else. β
Seeing his earnest expression, King Ping laughed: "This king is joking with you, can this king not know the rules of his father?" You can rest assured, the king of your house is looking for someone to take care of, and you can do business with peace of mind. β
Xuanyuan immediately bowed.
King Ping took the opportunity to help him, and said softly and almost inaudibly: "If there is something related to me..."
Xuanyuan immediately understood and blinked.
The two looked at each other and smiled slightly, and said a few salty words separately.
Xuanyuan returned home and conspired with Xiao Nan in the house. Xiao Nan twisted her ass and walked out triumphantly, and the people outside pouted. What kind of vision is this, sir? The difference between the lady is 108,000 miles, and the dog's tail grass can also be seen!
In the house, Xuanyuan was not alone. There were also two men. The three of them were still discussing.
"Your sister-in-law must be guarded."
"Don't worry, boss, brothers know. You just have to go out, and when you come back, you will be able to keep a single hair of your sister-in-law and little nephew. β
Xuanyuan sighed, hesitated again and again, and said, "It's best to say good things to me." β
The two almost knelt down: "We all followed in secret, my sister-in-law has never seen us in person, so she rushed out like that to say hello?" Boss, will you succeed if you go? β
Xuanyuan sighed again, thanks to how much he admired watermelons before, who knew that girl was instigating her son not to want herself? Xi'er values this fat apprentice, she knows. If he hadn't confessed to Xi'er early on that this was just a play, that unsympathetic woman would definitely change her mind.
"Then let's think of keeping the watermelon busy, and I don't have time to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Xuanyuan said viciously.
The two glanced at each other, very speechless, obviously the boss and sister-in-law have a deep relationship, and they both know that they are acting, the boss is still so nervous, and the sister-in-law is mighty!
"Remember?"
"Remembered."
Xuanyuan nodded with satisfaction: "There is also something over there, wait for me to go out of Beijing for ten days and half a month, and then wait for the opportunity to act." β
The two responded very seriously this time: "Yes." β
Xuanyuan thought about it and said again: "Wen Xiang, you are also keeping an eye on it." β
One person asked, "Boss, are you afraid that kid will rob your sister-in-law?" β
Regulus blackfaced.
Another kicked him: "What nonsense? The sister-in-law only has the boss in her heart. β
Xuanyuan's face was a little better.
"Then why are you staring at him?"
Xuanyuan looked unpredictable: "This kid has some ways to come, you just stare at it, you don't have to show up." Come back and tell me more. β
"Okay."
"Also, try not to get him to go to your sister-in-law."
ββ¦ Good. β
Xuanyuan packed a simple small package, and with Xiao Nan pinching the handkerchief and waving goodbye to the wind, he rode out of Beijing on horseback and joined more than a dozen guards who had changed their clothes outside the city gate
Xuanyuan stood on the small dirt slope next to the avenue, staring at the city gate silently, silent for a long time.
Everyone gossiped with their eyes, guessing who the Commander was thinking?
"Let's go!"
Xuanyuan flicked his whip and left first. Xi'er, wait for me to come back.
The crowd followed closely.
In Yang's Mansion, Xiao Nan put on the most complicated set of clothes, inserted the most dazzling jewelry, took the most luxurious carriage, and went to the street.
In the carriage, Xiao Nan opened the small box left by Xuanyuan, looked at the neat silver tickets lying inside, and cried blood silently.
Are you about to leave me, O silver?
Xiao Nan wiped away her bitter tears, she had to buy back what her sister-in-law fancied! (To be continued.) )
