The wind blows the peach forest full of trees and flowers, the magpie branches chirp, and the joy of the summer house almost dyes the entire capital.

When Xia Shujie, the eldest young master of the Xia Mansion, was named on the gold list and was hand-picked as the champion of the Golden Branch, it was when the good news broke out that he had made a family affair with Nangong Miao.

Only then did everyone know that Xia Shujie, the first three-yuan and first-ranked civil and military champion in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Nangong Miao, the first beauty in the capital and the only daughter of the richest man in the Great Zhou, had exchanged tokens and birthdays, and officially decided on family affairs.

The girls' glass hearts were broken, and the sons and brothers who witnessed Nangong's beautiful face were envious of Shujie for hugging the beauty.

Nangong Miao withdrew from her family, and the Nangong family broke out the scandal of Nangong Ying again, although Nangong Ying is only a concubine and has been expelled from the Nangong family, but the reputation of the Nangong family girl will still be affected to some extent, which makes many sons who were originally qualified and not qualified to marry the Nangong Mansion girl begin to have the illusion of both wealth and sex.

On the one hand, Nangong Mansion will begin to be anxious about Nangong Miao's family affairs, and on the other hand, they will not offend the university scholar too much, but they didn't expect to be cut off by Shujie, the "first best son-in-law candidate in Beijing", halfway. One by one, they were suddenly stunned, and the two champions who were both civil and military had the courage to start without hesitation, what else are they pretentious? Possible opportunities were lost in vain.

In the Xihe Hall of the Imperial Palace, the hundred rookies led by the top three and four people of the Wenwu Xinke had just left, and the emperor still had a satisfied smile on his face. This year's civil and military scholars are better than the previous ones, which makes the emperor who is eager for talent very pleased.

The left and right prime ministers, Marquis Weiyuan, Tang scholars, and Niu Chaoyang, the secretary of the military department, all smiled and knelt down together: "Congratulations to the emperor." Congratulations to the Emperor! Such an outstanding rookie in civil and military affairs descended from the sky. It is the joy of our dynasty and the joy of the emperor. God bless me Da Zhou. God bless Your Majesty! ”

"Ha Lu haha" The emperor looked at the five ministers of civil and military affairs that he had always valued, and smiled happily, "Rejoice and rejoice, all of you Aiqing have chosen some protégé candidates?" I said it first, Xia Shujie I want it, whoever else grabs it is who's it, hahaha Yu Zhengran will leave it to you, and I won't rob you of it. But this is also a great talent, and you have to protect me. ”

Everyone was shocked, the emperor is ready to personally experience Xia Shujie? For a long time, the outstanding new science and technology scholars have been trained by the emperor's trusted ministers of civil and military affairs, and by the way, they further examined their conduct. Before this, the emperor generally would not directly reuse.

The emperor did not hide it: "I am going to let Shujie serve as the six-rank imperial pen and the imperial guard with a sword." ”

"Your Majesty—" Except for Marquis Wei Yuan, several others tried to stop him, "Do you want to investigate for a period of time first?" ”

There is no problem with "Six Pins", "Imperial Writing", and "Guard", Xia Shujie's ability is there. The key is to "bring a knife in front of the king", which is also too ...... What's that, right? Generally speaking. The guards with swords in front of the emperor are all people who have been trained since childhood and have been tested several times, and they are almost as harsh as the selection and cultivation of the emperor's dark power "Netherworld".

The emperor waved his hand: "It's okay, I believe in Shujie, don't worry about Aiqing." ”

These people are all smart people, and they know that the emperor is not a monarch who will change his mind easily, and they don't insist much. Besides, Xia Shujie is Jin Xida's righteous son, who loves the house and Wu, and is the common feeling of people.

After a few ministers went down, the emperor smiled: "The Ma family has entered the palace again?" ”

Dafuzi hurriedly said: "Yes, I don't know why, Ma Guifei Niangniang only sent the news to the Ma family two days ago, and the happy event of Xia Zhuangyuan's marriage was made public on the second day." ”

The emperor snorted: "She wants to eat not too ugly" The Ma family wants to marry Shujie, whether they fancy Shujie as a person, or with the help of Jin Xida and Shujie, the emperor knows very well in his heart. The power of the Ma family has increased dramatically in recent years, and the net has been spread very wide, and the voice of the second prince in the battle for the crown prince is also high.

Shujie and Nangong Miao are married, in the eyes of the emperor is the best, the Nangong family has ancestral training, as long as the emperor is not unreasonably persecuted, he is absolutely loyal to the emperor, and he will not participate in any battle for the throne. And Jin Xida is trustworthy enough for him, and Shujie's character is also reliable. Shujie is a talent, how could the emperor let Ma Guifei pull Shujie into the camp of the Ma family? However, the Marquis of Weiyuan and Shujie are also smart, and the emperor nodded with satisfaction. Trustworthy talents must not only be capable, but also politically sensitive and vigilant, otherwise, they will either kill themselves or betray the emperor.

In Concubine Ma's Jardine Palace, Mrs. Ma said in frustration: "Ling'er has taken a fancy to Xia Shujie since she saw Xia Shujie in Nangong Mansion that day, and my father and your eldest brother are also very much in favor, but beware of the Queen Mother's mother's side to strike first, so I want you to ask the emperor for marriage, but I didn't expect it...... Unexpectedly, Nangong Mansion took the lead. ”

Concubine Ma Guifei was also remorseful, after mentioning it to the emperor that day, she wanted to summon Mrs. Ma into the palace on the second day, but who knew that Mrs. Ma had a cold, and she was in a hurry to call into the palace for the sake of discussing relatives, but she was afraid that it would arouse the emperor's suspicion. If you want the people around you to spread the word, and you feel that it is better to explain some things to your sister-in-law in person, then Yao Xuelan is also a difficult person to deal with. Who knows, it was only a few days late, and Nangong Mansion made the first move.

"That's it, it's too late to say anything now," Ma Guifei waved her hand, "Let my father pick a concubine who can handle it, and send it to be a concubine when the time comes, we still have to find a way to catch this line." ”

Mrs. Ma wanted to speak and stopped, after thinking about it, she still stubbornly spoke: "Ling'er said ...... Fei Xia Shujie does not marry. Niangniang, can you, can you ask for a holy decree to marry and be an equal wife? You also know that Ling'er's girl is very stubborn. ”

"Flat wife?" Ma Guifei pondered for a moment, "What did my father say?" ”

Mrs. Ma hurriedly responded: "Father has always loved Ling'er the most, he thought about it for a night, and called Xianggong and me over this morning, saying that it would be okay if he could ask for the holy decree, after all, Nangong Mansion is not ordinary. Moreover, the husband and wife have the same fate, so Nangong Miao is the lifeblood of Nangong Renhao, if Nangong Mansion can be pulled over, it will be more beneficial to the second prince. However, my father said that it would be better to enter the door at the same time. ”

Ma Guifei's eyes lit up, didn't she? Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy, and my father is more thoughtful.

It's just that how to get this holy decree from the emperor? Will the emperor suspect anything? The last time I went to propose marriage to the emperor, the emperor's reaction was not clear. This time, the matter of "flat wife" can't be told to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion first, otherwise the Nangong Mansion will definitely not agree, and it will be even more difficult to ask for the holy decree at that time. (To be continued......)
