Chapter 296: Rivalry
In the Taiji Palace, Wenhua suddenly proposed to give marriage, and the object was the daughter of Zeng Shangshu's family, and everyone listened to Emperor Yan's question, and they all looked at Zeng Lijing.
Today's marriage, Hengguo Gongwenfu and Zeng Lijing, the secretary of the ministry, are both present, and Emperor Yan is in charge, as long as Zeng Li nods, then the matter can be decided.
It is not unheard of that the marriage in the palace has not happened, but generally speaking, the new science and technology jinshi do not have the courage to ask His Majesty to give marriage, but Wenhua has not entered the palace since he was a child, and Heng Guogong is a guard with a sword, so it is not an accident to ask His Majesty to marry in this palace today.
Being watched by everyone like this, Zeng Lijing's face did not change color in the slightest, and he arched his hand, just wanting to speak.
"Your Majesty, Weichen also has something to ask for!" At this moment, Xu Mingyuan, who was standing at the front of all beings, suddenly bowed loudly.
Everyone looked at Zeng Lijing, even Emperor Yan was waiting for Zeng Lijing's reply, but when he was about to speak, he was interrupted, and everyone was unhappy but also looked at the person who spoke, and saw that it was Xu Mingyuan, who bowed slightly, and showed a little surprise.
Emperor Yan also looked at Xu Mingyuan, but he didn't dislike Xu Mingyuan's interruption, but he was still a little surprised: "Xu Mingyuan, what do you ask for?" ”
"Wechen is courageous, and I also ask Your Majesty to marry Wechen." Xu Mingyuan didn't look up, and said loudly.
As soon as Xu Mingyuan said this, everyone was surprised, but they didn't expect that today it would be the champion Tanhua who asked His Majesty for marriage. However, how could Xu Mingyuan not understand the rules, even if he wanted to ask His Majesty for marriage, he should wait for Zeng Shangshu to say whether he would agree to Wenhua's request or not, and interrupting the Ministry of Shangshu like this also made everyone's perception of Xu Mingyuan lower a lot.
"Marriage?" Emperor Yan was also a little surprised, glanced at Wenhua, who had changed slightly on the side of Xu Mingyuan, and then at Zeng Lijing, and said with a smile: "You interrupted Zeng Aiqing's words like this, could it be that this marriage is also related to Miss Zeng's family?" ”
As soon as Emperor Yan said this, all the officials whispered, if this is really the case, the champion Tanhua is also the daughter of the official department Shangshu in the palace to fight for marriage, this is really a rare thing in a hundred years.
Originally, he thought that Xu Mingyuan was going to be helpless, and stared at Zeng Qingyi's life who was given to marry Wenhua, and looked at Xu Mingyuan's back, all with a look of disbelief.
Fang Tingyan, Ning Anzhi and the others were surprised, but they also showed a little smile, thinking of what Xu Mingyuan said outside the Taiji Hall before, they could be regarded as understanding Xu Mingyuan's so-called strategy.
"Your Majesty Mingjian, the marriage that Wei Shen asked for is Zeng Shangshu's daughter, Wei Chen and his childhood sweetheart, wishful thinking, today in the palace to ask His Majesty for marriage." Xu Mingyuan replied loudly, his voice firm.
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Yan also showed a smile on his face, looked at Wenhua, and then at Xu Mingyuan, and said with a smile: "How is this good, I heard that there is only one daughter in Zeng Shangshu's mansion, and now the champion Tanhua and I are invited to marry, so I have to live up to the wishes of one person." ”
When the officials heard this, they also laughed, and an old man with gray hair and a purple embroidered python robe said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this matter, this champion Tanhua is all young talents, and if you want to learn about talent and appearance, I think it is not much different, and this matter of marrying a daughter is naturally up to Zeng Shangshu to decide by himself." ”
Xu Mingyuan glanced at the gray-haired, ordinary-looking old man, this person should be Prince Cheng Yan Zheng, the uncle of His Majesty today, he treats people kindly, and he doesn't like to fight for power, all of his appointments are idle positions, in addition to planting some flowers and plants in his own manor on weekdays, his favorite thing is to tease crickets and birds and beasts.
Hearing Prince Cheng say this, there were also several extremely old officials who responded with a smile, all saying that Zeng Lijing would decide this matter for himself.
Emperor Yan listened to what the hundred officials said, nodded with a smile, looked at Zeng Lijing and said with a smile: "Zeng Aiqing, it seems that you did give birth to a good daughter, this champion Tanhua wants to take your family's daughter, I will not make a decision on this matter, it is up to you to choose, and I will marry after choosing." ”
Zeng Lijing nodded slightly, glanced at Xu Mingyuan, and said loudly: "Thanks to Your Majesty's love, the little girl's marriage has indeed reached the age of Zhang Luo, I never thought that the new champion and Tanhua were both interested in the little girl, but the marriage Heng Guogong mentioned to me earlier, and the little girl and Wenhua have also had a few faces, so this matter may have to live up to Xu Zhuangyuan's good intentions." ”
As soon as Zeng Lijing said this, everyone's faces were full of expressions that should be like this, although Xu Mingyuan won the champion, but Jing'er Hengguo Mansion was still much worse after all.
And listening to the meaning of Zeng Lijing's words, Heng Guogong and him had already discussed this matter before, and Wenhua probably didn't know about it, so he proposed it in this palace and asked His Majesty to give him a marriage.
Zeng Lijing had clearly rejected Xu Mingyuan's words, and after Wen Hua was stunned, his face also showed ecstasy, if it weren't for this Taiji Palace, I was afraid that he would have to shout a few times to calm his mood.
Xu Mingyuan looked at Zeng Lijing, his face was also slightly pale, Zeng Lijing's answer was indeed a little unexpected by him, it seems that Zeng Lijing did already have plans to marry Zeng Qingyi to Wenhua.
"Since Zeng Aiqing and Wen Aiqing have already been in contact, it seems that they have already been negotiated, and it seems that I don't need to say much about today's affairs." Emperor Yan also said with some surprise, looking at Xu Mingyuan, who was a little distracted, he shook his head and said: "Xu Aiqing, you don't have to be so sad, you can talk about it, which daughter in Chang'an City do you like, if it is in the palace, today I will help you to be the master of marriage, I think few people will refuse a champion to be their son-in-law." ”
Xu Mingyuan slowly straightened up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, although Zeng Shangshu intends to marry his daughter into the Hengguo Mansion, Weichen thinks that this matter is not something that Zeng Shangshu can say alone, and Weichen feels that this matter is inappropriate. ”
The hundred officials who originally thought that Xu Mingyuan had accepted their fate were all in an uproar when they heard this, obviously they didn't expect that someone would speak out against the marriage of a minister Shangshu and the prince of the country in this Taiji Palace, and it was decided under the witness of His Majesty.
"This Xu Mingyuan won the champion, why is he so impulsive?"
"I think he is gambling on his career here, how can he marry the daughter of the official secretary, offending the official secretary, it will not be so easy to be promoted in the future."
"I think he is quite ambitious and courageous, and dares to interrupt the minister's Shangshu in this Taiji Palace, bluntly saying that his decision is wrong, and he still wants to marry someone else's daughter, but it is rare to see it." The person who spoke was Prince Cheng Yan Zheng who spoke out before.
"Today's Jinshi Shane is a bit interesting, I haven't seen such a scene for many years. It seems that the person surnamed Xu was the last in the top three in the exam that year, and he ran to the front to ask His Majesty for marriage, which crooked the nose of Xie Da at that time. An old official with white hair looked at Xu Mingyuan's back and said with a smile.
