tremblingly was invited into the Ordnance Division, well, if this is also an invitation, Xia Ru's face was a little blue, from the bottom of his heart, he was unwilling to go on this trip, okay, who wants to deal with the plague god?

As a result, as he had estimated in advance, as soon as he got closer, he was put down by a few wolf-like fans. The conscience of heaven and earth, although Xia Ru has a reputation as a Tongzhi in the Governor's Mansion, he is really not a military attaché, but a good scholar, and it is really painful to be beaten by this beating.

Fortunately, for the sake of his age, those fans didn't do anything ruthless, not to mention ...... He peeked at the few people hanging on the flagpole outside the gate of the Zhenfu Division, and couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, compared to the real spies, his treatment was already very good.

Because the fan of the Zhenfu Division suddenly overflowed with murderous spirit, which caused the scholars to be frightened, therefore, the spies sent more people, and it was inevitable that there were a few who were not familiar with the rules, and as a result, they crossed the line, so these people were tragic, and the other spies also knew that they were hiding farther, at least there was not even a single figure on the road when Xia Ru came.

I don't want to come back, I don't want to come, for the sake of my precious daughter, this trip is really a must. Entering the miraculous ordnance division that is legendary in the outside world, Xia Ru was not in the mood to explore the hidden world at all, just lowered his head and followed behind the fanzi who led the way, thinking about his thoughts.

Before marrying the Heavenly Family, the Xia family was originally a very ordinary family, and they had no fame at all in the capital, and the elders were just innocent for generations, and they were just scholars.

Having the opportunity to become a national relative is really an unexpected joy for Xia Ru, although he is also a scholar and has no good impression of his relatives, but if this kind of thing is put on himself, it is not a good thing.

Relatives really can't hold much power, but the improvement of status is real, look at Queen Zhang's family is not a good example? As long as you don't cause trouble in a proper manner, a rich earl is still very secure.

It's just that since the first year of Zhengde, the Xia family's state of mind is the same as that of most scholars in Beijing, in the midst of apprehension, there is a feeling of turmoil, and Xia Ru keeps lamenting in his heart: The emperor is too good to toss!

Although her daughter is still young, she is quite knowledgeable and reasonable, and she has the demeanor of a lady, after entering the palace, how can she face such an emperor's husband? Xia Ru was very worried, his daughter was not much worse than the queen mother, why couldn't the emperor be as benevolent and tolerant as Emperor Xiaozong?

Just today, another thunderbolt of news reached his ears, the emperor and the ministers actually had a dispute because of the wedding, until the queen mother came forward, only reluctantly agreed, but then the emperor immediately summoned the plague god into the palace to discuss!

There has never been a shortage of speculative people in the world who can look at the style, especially in the palace, since the Xia family has been determined to be the queen's mother's family, although the news in the palace is secret, it is not a secret to the Xia family, so Xia Ru also got the news for the first time.

Although Xie Hong had conflicts with many yamen in the capital, Xia Ru served in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and this yamen was like a decoration, and it was not their turn to conflict with Xie Hong, so Xia Ru did not directly face Xie Hong.

However, no one needs to remind him how terrible the plague god is, and Xia Ru is also very clear. Don't look at your own family, there is about to be a queen, but the queen is not as good as the queen mother, the younger brother of the queen mother, didn't the plague god say that he would catch it, and he would fight it? Even the mansion has been robbed, a queen, or an unmarried queen, what can it be considered here in the plague god?

Now the emperor is obviously very dissatisfied with the queen's candidate, and has summoned the plague god to discuss, and Bacheng also has the intention of sabotaging this marriage. It is said that the emperor's wedding is a state affair, and since it has been determined, there will be no change in any case, but what these two masters have participated in is according to common sense?

Therefore, although this trip was extremely dangerous, and if it was discovered by the people of Shilin, his family would become the scum of Shilin and be questioned by all kinds, but Xia Ru still gritted his teeth and walked away. Not only for the sake of his own future, he was used to keeping a low profile, and he didn't particularly care about status or anything, which was also an important reason for the foreign dynasty to recommend his family to become a national relative.

He took this trip mainly for his daughter, at least to find out why the emperor refused to marry, otherwise, if he entered the palace so ignorantly, with today's stubborn surname, I am afraid that his daughter will have to stay widowed for the rest of her life.

"My lord, the mark brought someone here, this is Xia Tongzhi."

Scared and worried, Xia Ru was thinking about his thoughts all the way, and he didn't pay attention to the movements around him at all, until the fan who led the way suddenly opened his voice, he was shocked, and looked up blankly, but found that he was in a private room, although the furnishings were a little weird, but he could still see that it was a study, and there was a young man sitting in front of the bookcase, looking at himself with a face like water.

"Well, I'm tired."

Xie Hong's appearance and attitude are actually very confusing, if he didn't know his identity, when they first met, most people would think that this was just a young scholar, maybe after everyone, so he was quite generous, and he was not unruly in dealing with people, and he was very educated.

At this moment, Xia Ru also had this idea in his heart, especially when he saw Xie Hong smiling and nodding to that fanzi, he was even more confused.

This time he is just an ordinary pawn, he may have some courage, but that's it, but Xie Hong's attitude is like treating his peers, seeing his smile like a spring breeze, it is really difficult to match his image with the legendary plague god.

When he saw that fanzi had a look of reverence in his eyes, but his face was accustomed to saluting and going out, Xia Ru could only believe that this was Xie Hong's way of the emperor, at least not in front of outsiders.

Therefore, he originally only had a little faith in his heart, but he added a little bit, and the plague god was not a completely unreasonable fierce god, maybe there was some hope for his own affairs.

"Natsu-sama......"

Xia Ru had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he forgot to speak, but it turned out that Xie Hong was impatient and opened his mouth first.

"I don't dare to be the title of Lord Xie, Lord Xie can just call the official with the official title." Xie Hong's voice was not high, and there was no coldness, but Xia Ru was still an agitated spirit, and hurriedly thanked him.

"Well, then, Xia Tongzhi, you came to find this official today, what is the matter?" In fact, Xia Ru's purpose, Xie Hong also had some guesses, but he couldn't be sure yet.

He has almost no understanding of Empress Xia and her family, only that Zhengde does not like the queen, and the queen has always been quite neglected. After Zhengde's death, the situation was even more bleak, the earl of the Xia family who came because of his relatives was even deprived during the Jiajing period, and in this way alone, the Xia family should belong to the kind of people who have no ambition and ability.

However, Xie Hong will not take it lightly, he must have a plan for others, the butterfly effect caused by his crossing is intensifying, and many things are not the same as the original history, not to mention that his historical knowledge is also vague, and it is unknown whether he can do it or not.

"Xiaguan...... I have heard for a long time that Lord Xie is talented and intelligent, and he is known for his majesty, and now he will see ......" Xia Ru's face was quite hesitant, but he still opened his mouth tremblingly, but it was a sycophant, although these words of praise were all big road goods, and they were a little stumbling at the beginning, but they became fluent when they spoke.

"Xia Tongzhi, if you say this, you are here to take a look at the official? So since you have already seen the people of this official, then ......" Xie Hong didn't have time to talk to him, and said straight to the point.

"This ......" Xia Ru was shocked, looked up and saw the look on Xie Hong's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and suddenly felt that his own mind was being spied on by the other party. was seen through by a young man who was much younger than himself, and his face was also red, not only because he was ashamed, but also because the topic he wanted to talk about was difficult to say.

"Actually......" There was no turning back from the bow, since he came, it was impossible to retreat like this, Xia Ru gritted his teeth, and finally said: "The Xia family is an ordinary family, and the little girl can serve the Son of Heaven, which is a coveted blessing, and she must do her best, but the lower officials heard that the emperor is very ...... about the big wedding It's not cool, Lord Xie, you know the heart of the Son of Heaven, but you don't know ......"

"Huh?" Xie Hong didn't answer, but just hummed noncommittally.

"I don't know if the lord can make it clear, what is the emperor's ...... If there is any deficiency in the little girl, which causes the Sacred Heart to be ill, it is good to make up for it a little. After all, the matter has come to this point, and the date for the little girl to enter the palace has been set, even if it is the emperor...... If Lord Xie is willing to make it clear, the Xia family will feel great virtue in the future, if there is a place to serve, but it is driven by the adult. ”

None of the ancients could be underestimated, and after hearing this, Xie Hong also sighed in his heart. This national ruler only has a name in the history books, and there is no evaluation, but when it comes to courage and speaking skills, they are very good. Although these words are straightforward, there are also hidden temptations, and they have promised heavy profits, which can be called comprehensive.

"The emperor is actually just shy, in fact, ......" In the discussion of the right talent, Xie Hong has already formulated a strategy, the degree of vigilance should be improved, and it is also necessary to be false and wrong, and paralyze the foreign court. Therefore, he met Xia Ru, thinking of reassuring the other party with gentle words, at least to reassure the queen.

"The lower officials are sincere, so why should the adults be perfunctory? Or is there something difficult to say, can't you speak directly to your subordinates? Xia Ru was already out of the way here, so seeing Xie Hong's casual perfunctory, he was also in a hurry, and he couldn't care about Xie Hong's horror for a while, so he bluntly interrogated him.

This is really unspeakable, I really can't tell you, you can't help it, my brother is here, and I asked so many people without a practical way, what's the use of telling you an old man?

Xie Hong was silent, although he couldn't say it to Xia Ru, but if he wanted to paralyze the foreign court, he had to make corresponding moves, well, but even if he forced Zhengde Sanfei, with his surname, he couldn't do it without a real surname. Therefore, the queen's cooperation is also very necessary.

But how do you say that? Let Chunli send someone to see the queen herself, or say...... "Xia Tongzhi, you came today, is it the queen's intention, or your own?" Xie Hong couldn't make a decision for a while, so he asked casually.

Xia Ru immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, what he was most afraid of was that Xie Hong and Zhengde would find a way to destroy the marriage, this is a major event known to the world, if it is really canceled, the Xia family will become the laughing stock of the world. Now that Xie Hong is called his daughter queen, at least the big wedding should be no problem.

"It's the meaning of the lower official, and it's also the meaning of the little girl herself." However, he didn't completely put his mind at ease, entering the palace smoothly is only the first step, and there is still a long way to go. "If you get the consent of the adults, the little girl is also willing to enter the palace first, and after learning the deficiencies in etiquette in the palace, she will get married, what do you think?"

It's really courageous, Xie Hong was slightly taken aback, he heard Gu Dayong introduce that before the queen, the queen was going to study in the palace for a period of time, mainly etiquette or something. However, Empress Xia has completed this study, and her grades are quite good, which is the evaluation of the Queen Mother.

Now that Xia Ru said this, he naturally asked Xie Hong to conduct secret teaching and training, and the speed at which this old man's courage increased was really fast.

If Xia Ru proposed to send it to the Ordnance Division, Xie Hong would still wonder if the other party was an undercover agent sent by the scholar, but since it was sent to the palace, there would be no problem. Even if someone sows discord in front of Zhengde, well, will the second brother care? Besides, it was Zhengde who let himself figure out a way, right?

"Okay, Xia Tongzhi will prepare first, and after the official invites the emperor, this matter will be carried out as soon as possible." Xie Hong nodded, not only to find a suitable companion for Zhengde and then paralyze the problem of the outer court, but also for his sympathy for what happened to that girl.

Isn't it premarital training? It's up to my brother.
