January time passed quietly, after the Chengqian Palace, the study.

Wang Xu sat indignantly on the main seat, and Jia Hui and Han calligraphy and painting sat below.

This morning, another envoy from the imperial capital came, and after the meeting, Wang Xu summoned the two here. Wang Xu looked indignant, looked at the two, and said: "This emperor is really shameless, how can he ask me to marry her youngest daughter, Princess Huaiyang." ”

Han Shushu laughed heartily and said: "Lord, you are a talent, wise and martial, and you have beaten the court three times and twice. This time, the emperor wants to calm down the conflict and let you be his son-in-law. Eh, poor me, Han calligraphy and painting are incomparably talented, handsome and chic, but there are no beauties, pitiful. ”

"Han calligraphy and painting!"

Wang Xu gritted his teeth and shouted, and Han Shushu immediately closed his mouth and stopped talking.

For the emperor to marry his daughter, Wang Xu really couldn't arouse his interest.

Wang Xu is the king of Wen, and the emperor is the master of the world, neither of them is a child, for the sake of the great cause, it is impossible to be fettered because of a woman. Especially between Wang Xu and the emperor, it can be said that there is a lot of resentment and belongs to the opposing camp, and the emperor's attempt to bind him with a daughter is really shameful.

Jia Hui arched his hand and said: "Lord, the emperor's move is nothing more than wanting a few years of peace, since he is willing to marry his daughter, you accept the emperor's proposal and marry his daughter, isn't it beautiful." ”

Wang Xu sighed and said, "Marriage is a big event, how can it be child's play." ”

Jia Hui shook his head and said, "My lord, you must be cautious about national affairs. You don't like the emperor's daughter, you can put it aside after marrying back, but when it comes to the political affairs of the Western Capital, you can't affect the phalanx policy of the Western Capital because of your personal emotions. ”

Regarding the emperor's marriage to his daughter, Wang Xu and Jia Hui are completely different.

Jia Hui and Han Shushu believe that the emperor's daughter is just a piece of goods used to curry favor with Wang Xu, and she can be thrown aside after marrying back, and has no value. This is due to the times. Because in this troubled era, this is an era of man supremacy, and women are vassals, for men. Women are to please men, and they are to have children and pass on their offspring.

However, after all, Wang Xu grew up under the five-star red flag, and he couldn't accept the marriage of two people who didn't know each other. I don't want to ruin a woman's happiness.

Seeing Wang Xu's hesitation, Han Shushu said earnestly: "Lord, those who want to achieve great things will never be fettered because of their children's affairs. The emperor is willing to marry a daughter, and you gladly accept it, and it will not affect you in any way. ”

After a pause, Han Shushu continued: "As long as the lord can marry Princess Huaiyang, then there will be no more wars in my Western Capital for ten years, and even if Hu Ling is strong, he will not dare to attack us." We can recharge our batteries and wait for our time. ”

"When the emperor marries his daughter, he wants to win over the lord, and he also wants to provoke the relationship between the lord and Hu Ling and Zhu Huan, but he doesn't know that the three kings are essentially thieves, and sooner or later they will attack each other."

Jia Hui also persuaded: "Lord, when you decide, you must decide, don't hesitate." ”

Wang Xu listened to the persuasion of Han Shushu and Jia Hui, and felt a little troubled.

He's got a good brain. Knowing that Han Huashu and Jia Hui's suggestions are correct, only in this way can Taoguang cultivate obscurity and seek to be the first to strike. When the strength is strong, you will be able to dominate the world.

Moreover, marrying Princess Huaiyang is indeed important, which is equivalent to a closer relationship with the imperial court, and it will not be easily defeated, and such a good policy cannot be ignored.

Wang Xu took a deep breath. After a long silence, he said; "Okay, agree to the emperor's request."

"The lord is wise!"

When the two of them heard this, they were also relieved.

After solving the emperor's matter, Han Shushu arched his hand and said: "My lord, after the order of seeking talent, there have been a lot of people who have signed up, and in the past two days, the number of people who have signed up has gradually decreased, and you can stop signing up." As long as the number of people is set, the assessment time can be set, and the children of the big clan and the people who sign up will be assessed in a unified manner. ”

Wang Xu thought for a while and said, "Since this is the case, let's stop signing up." The time of the assessment is set for the day after tomorrow, and the civil examination will be conducted first, and after the civil officials are selected, the military examination will be conducted to select the military generals. As for those who participated in both the literary and martial arts examinations and were selected, they must be noted separately. ”

"No!"

Han Shushu replied with an excited look on his face.

He held the post of secretary of Wang Xu's ministry and was in charge of the promotion of officials. The matter of selecting officials has always been handled by Han Shushu, and seeing countless people enthusiastically signing up, Han Shushu is very happy from the bottom of his heart.

Wang Xu has territory, talents, and a bright future.

..............

The selection of talents is handled by Han Calligraphy and Painting, and Wang Xu did not participate in the whole process.

For Wang Xu, he only needs to grasp the general direction, and the specific things will be arranged by the Military Aircraft Department and the Sixth Department.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Early in the morning, after Wang Xu practiced boxing in the courtyard, he slowly returned to the study with his hands behind his back and continued to study the strategy book of marching formation. At Wang Xu's point, although he can't talk about every day, he is very busy, and there are a lot of things every day, and he really has time to stop and read books and enhance his knowledge. Wang Xu still maintains his original habit, and takes a little time out to read books every day to increase his knowledge.

"Boom! Boom"

Outside the study, there was a soft knock on the door.

Wang Xu frowned slightly, and asked, "Who?" ”

"It's me."

Outside the room, a gruff voice came. After Wang Xu heard this, he put down the book in his hand, quickly got up from his seat, ran to the door, opened the door, and welcomed the bald head standing outside the room into the room. The person who came was none other than Zhang Meng.

"Why are you here, sit down." Wang Xu said.

Zhang Meng hummed and walked towards the study.

The two sat down, and Zhang Meng said straight to the point: "Lord, I heard that you are going to marry the emperor's daughter, Princess Huaiyang?" ”

Wang Xu rolled his eyes, and he knew Zhang Meng's intention, he must have come for Zhang Xue, because, after all, Princess Huaiyang is a princess, if she enters the Western Capital, what about Zhang Xue's status? Or is it the harem master? Zhang Meng is here to ask for an explanation.

Wang Xu smiled slightly: "Yes, his emperor is willing to marry his daughter, why don't I marry?" ”

"But what about Cher? Are you going to put him aside? ”

Wang Xu said: "You start with peace?" Zhang Xue and I are friends in trouble, she also gave birth to Xiao Wang Xi for me, and she is still pregnant, when did I say that I would put her aside. ”

Zhang Meng pressed forward step by step, and asked again: "Then you say, when Princess Huaiyang comes, what is the status of my Xue'er in the harem?" ”

Wang Xu smiled and said: "The emperor marries a daughter and I marry a wife, these are completely different things. There is no one else in the position of the wife except Zhang Xue. The emperor's daughter entered the Western Capital, and her status was just a concubine. If she messes around and is disobedient, she can only open a separate courtyard for her and let her live for a long time. ”

Zhang Meng listened to Wang Xu's words, and his cold expression eased up.

The position of the wife is too important to Zhang Xue.

The wives of the ancients gave birth to sons and daughters, and concubines were people who could not be on the stage, and the status of the children born was too far from that of the children born to the main wife. Moreover, some people prefer to give away concubines, so you can see how low the status of concubines is.

Because of this, after Zhang Meng got the news that Wang Xu was about to marry the emperor's daughter, he hurried to Wang Xu's study and asked Wang Xu how to treat Zhang Xue.

Now that he got Wang Xu's letter, Zhang Meng was relieved. (To be continued.) )
