In the imperial study, Xuanyuan Jue asked like this, and he saw the change of happiness and then worry on the faces of Taifu Xie and Lord Zuo Cheng on the throne, which was more interesting than the look of the lord of the pear monarch who was famous for a play "Agarwood Saves the Mother".

As for Xie Jin and Xu He, the two of them stood on one side in an orderly manner, bowing their heads slightly, making it impossible to see their expressions clearly.

However, with the wisdom of these two men, after listening to their own words, it is time for them to immediately understand the purpose of being called today.

Although Xuanyuan Jue tried to ask him who the two of them were, he turned his head and glanced at Xie Jin and Xu He next to him out of the corner of his eye, and Taifu Xie and Lord Zuo Cheng tacitly understood what Xuanyuan Cheng meant, and this was to choose one of the two.

"Your Majesty, according to the minister's opinion, the candidate for marriage is not only the son of the family, but also not the general who now controls the military power, before the marriage, but also to be promoted according to the regulations, this candidate is not the Marquis of Yuancheng, the emperor can take this opportunity to become a marquis of Jin Yuancheng as a general, a share of military power."

It was Mrs. Xie who spoke first, and after a pause, he still didn't want his son Xie Jin to get involved, and in desperation, he had to trouble his nephew Xu He.

It stands to reason that Xie Jin is always more suitable than Xu He to be the candidate for marriage, but Zuo Cheng was provoked by Xie Taifu before, and he didn't think much about it, and without waiting for Xuanyuan Jue to react, he also made a suggestion and recommended Xie Jin.

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Xie's recommendation is inappropriate, according to the ministers, it should be given to marry Xie Jin in Taichang Temple, and the emperor can take this opportunity to be the squire of the military department with Yuan Chenghou and the general."

Now, after listening to the words of Mrs. Xie and Lord Zuo Cheng, it was Xie Jin and Xu He's turn to look at each other.

The two looked quite tacit, and they both looked at each other helplessly.

This matter is tricky, neither of them wants the other to come to this troubled water, but at the moment, they can't help each other.

And here, Xuanyuan on the throne unhurriedly blew the tea soup in the teacup in his hand, and took a sip lightly.

In fact, the most suitable person had already made up his mind yesterday when he finished reading the marriage agreement between the two countries and thinking of countermeasures.

The words of Mrs. Xie and Zuo Cheng made him have a slight tilt in his heart, and he leaned even more towards one of them.

I don't know, the other party, can now understand what he is thinking?

Xuanyuan Jue set his sights on Xie Jin and Xu He, and it was better to leave this choice to the two candidates to decide.

"Xie Jin, Xu He, what do you two think?"

Hearing this, Xie Jin and Xu He looked at each other again. If you can't hide from it, then there will always be someone who will stand up.

"Your Majesty, the minister knows that Marquis Yuan Cheng has a marriage contract, so the minister is willing to accept the order!"

Here, Xie Jin saw that Xu He was just hesitant and opened his mouth, and immediately rushed over.

Xu He is not good at words, so let him be able to speak well! Even though Mrs. Xie had already cast a look of surprise and surprise at him.

"Wow......"

Xuanyuan left the teacup in his hand on the case. "Oh? Xu He already has a marriage contract, why haven't I heard you mention it? Which girl is in Yecheng? ”

Suddenly came to inquire about the interest, Xuanyuan turned his eyes on Xu He, who was stunned in place.

Now, with a satisfactory answer, the marriage can be finalized.

"When my father and mother were there, I once set a family affair with people in northern Xinjiang for my ministers." Xu He paused, and a strand of curly hair on his sideburns loosened from his ears as he bowed his head.

If he hadn't mentioned it today, he would have almost forgotten about it.

Now it seems that he, who was originally one of the candidates, can withdraw without any suspense. After all, he still has half of the blood of the people in Northern Xinjiang on his body, which is the reason why he can't be a general, and it is an embarrassing existence in Xuanguo.

However, for countless days and nights, he wondered how good it would be if he were a real native of Northern Xinjiang.

"This ......" Mrs. Xie was speechless at this time, he forgot that there was such a thing, and he also forgot Xu He's life experience.

"Since Xie Aiqing is so self-volunteering, then the dust will settle on this marriage, Lord Taifu, Lord Zuo Cheng, do you still have objections? If there are no objections, then retire and go home. ”

The knuckles of Xuanyuan's left hand began to hit the desk again and again.

"Yes, Weichen retired."

As soon as he came out of the imperial study, Zuo Cheng stroked his long beard and chest, and glanced at Taifu Xie quickly with crooked eyebrows, and all his triumph turned into a hearty laugh.

"The old man is here to congratulate Master Taifu and Xie Jin's nephew, and the official is a good match, hahaha!"

As he spoke, Zuo Cheng flicked the sleeves of his robe and swaggered away along the palace road, leaving the two fathers and sons, Mrs. Xie and Xie Jin, far behind.

Today's palace road is exceptionally quiet, and the occasional palace attendants who pass by feel so. Because I didn't see Mrs. Xie and Xie Jin's father and son arguing on the palace road today.

At this time, he was either a son and Lao Tzu's mouth, or Lao Tzu, holding the Taifu ring ruler inherited from generation to generation in his hand, saying that he would kill his own "unscrupulous son".

This kind of scene is what the palace people and the chamberlains have always been accustomed to, and now that Mrs. Xie and his son are so quiet, even the new little palace maid and the chamberlain also noticed that something was wrong, and bowed to the two from a distance and avoided it.

The palace road, which is not a long road, has become an extraordinarily long bluestone road under the feet of the Xie family's father and son today.

I don't know that after several generations of wind and rain, the bluestone engraved with plum petals on both sides of the original has long been as plain as a mirror, yes, there is no noise between father and son in the past, and the staggered footsteps of the two people are particularly clear.

"Hurry up, it's time for the palace gate to be keyed." Mrs. Xie shook the ring ruler in his hand behind him and urged.

"Doesn't my father blame me?"

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the palace gate, Xie Jin stopped and asked Mrs. Xie in a low voice.

Mrs. Xie didn't look back, but the pace of delay was completely put on hold. Xie Jin, who was behind him, heard a long sigh from Mrs. Xie.

"I, the Xie family, inherit the responsibility of the emperor's teacher, so Ah Jin, do you know the name of this ring in the hands of your father?"

Mrs. Xie said, turned around, and held the rings with the length of his small arms restrained by the refined copper in his hand. The vermilion tassel that fell on the ring square was still there after a few swings.

"Dan iron is the ruler, to prescribe the Son of Heaven. It is called the 'Son of Heaven Ring'. ”

"Yes, if you hold the precept of the Son of Heaven, you should practice the way of precept and punishment, when your grandfather was still there, he would often sit alone in the study and kneel in front of the precept of the Son of Heaven and blame himself bitterly, until he died of illness, so he took the precept of the Son of Heaven for his father."

Taifu Xie said slowly, waved his hand and motioned Xie Jin to go out of the palace gate with him, until he got on the carriage back to Taifu's mansion, Taifu Xie looked at the Son of Heaven ring in his hand again, and looked up at the direction of the imperial study that he couldn't see at all.

"What your grandfather and father could not do, may your generation be perfect. To prescribe the Son of Heaven, you must be ready to make sacrifices at any time, in all fairness, if you can resign and leave, your father will never want you to set foot in the temple! ”

Mrs. Xie sighed again, in fact, there were many things that he couldn't tell Xie Jin now.

In addition to the responsibility of the emperor, one day, he will have to be like him at the beginning, while receiving the ring of the Son of Heaven, he will share the darkness that does not see the light of day and is soaked in the bone marrow for the emperors of the Xuanguo Dynasty.

"Ah He, just now in the imperial study, you admit that you have a marriage contract, why haven't you heard you mention it before?"

Xuanyuan unhurriedly took out a black disc from the chess basket and landed on the chessboard. He hadn't talked to Xu He for a long time, and he still remembered that a long time ago, Xu He's chess skills from his father, General Xu, were far above Xie Taifu.

Xie Taifu's chess skills, Xuanyuan Jue did not dare to comment on it, and only heard it from the ridicule of Lord Zuo Cheng, when Xie Taifu was still young, before he came out, in Yecheng, and the other two were called "Xuandu Three Youths".

The three of them are all outstanding figures among the children of the clan family, and all three of them are good at chess, and they have won all the chess players in Yecheng in one fell swoop within three days. It's just that Mrs. Xie is a veritable "three less" among the three less.

Literature is third, music is third, painting is third, chess is third, and even age is worthy of the name of ranking third.

Although he is the only son of the Taifu of the Dynasty, everyone sees him and calls him "Xie Sanshao".

It wasn't until later that the best of the three young people in Xuandu went to play, and after a few years, the person who was the best at playing chess was gone.

There were no regrets, the black chess pieces were finalized, but the white pieces that were in Xu He's hand were held by Xu He for a while, and then they fell into an inconspicuous corner. When he landed, Xuanyuan fell again, and the white son was eaten by the black child.

"Referring to the belly for marriage, the minister was still young at that time, and then he came back to Yecheng with his father, but he had never seen the woman, and he didn't know if the family had a daughter as he wished."

Xu He saw that he lost the chess game, and he did not have worry on his face, but he was more calm and relaxed.

"I see...... Well? It's a tie. ”

Towards the end of the chess game, Xuanyuan frowned, and carefully counted the black and white colors scattered on the longitude and latitude, which was not half a point.

Is his chess game improving? Xuanyuan thought that he didn't have this ability, so the only explanation was that Xu He was letting him.

"Ah, you don't have to let me."

Losing interest and losing the idea of another game, Xuanyuan felt bored and put the black and white pieces into the chess box, and invited the palace people to come forward to take care of it.

"The emperor praised it, it is His Majesty's chess skills that far surpass those of the ministers, and the ministers have any scruples."

Looking at Xu He, who was respectfully bowing down in front of him, Xuanyuan sighed countless times in his heart.

He had changed, and Xuanyuan hadn't seen the dragon-like shadow that Xu He had before for a long time.

Is this still the Xu He who broke into the imperial mausoleum alone for his father and knocked it over? ! Is it still the same Xu He who was in the barren forest in the northern suburbs, and he was able to protect him and Xuanyuan Qi with the white gun in his hand? !

Is it because of the changes in oneself or in the people and scenery around us?

Perhaps, as early as the moment when he "killed" himself, everything that people miss will disappear from the world like that self.

ceases to exist.
