Xia Mu heard King Yu introduce this person as a high offering, and he didn't dare to slack off in his heart, only to see that this high supply had a big beard, no wonder he later entered the cabinet, and everyone called him a tall beard?

After a while, Li Chunfang, Wang Shizhen, and Yin Shizhan followed Zhang Juzheng to see him. These people are all big names who will enter the cabinet later, and they are in the same department as Zhang Juzheng, and Xia Mu also laughed with them one by one.

It's just that everyone was talking and laughing, the flower bridge of Xufu came first, Xia Mu hurriedly said goodbye to everyone, and was led by Luo Kedi, and went out of the mansion, only to see the matchmaker come up and laugh and say: "Bai Yu is a horse for Tang Jin, and the noble son is promoted early, please give a reward, so as to kick the sedan chair." ”

Xia Mu laughed when he heard it: "Don't be quick to reward, one person will be rewarded with two hundred dollars of silver!" ”

"Thank you!"

After appreciating, Xia Mu hurriedly kicked lightly at the flower bridge, only to see Xu Xiyi, who was covered with a big red hijab inside, and walked out by herself, and the maid Xiang'er next to her hurriedly took the red silk, handed it to Xia Mu, and handed it to her own lady.

Xia Mu took the red silk and led Xu Xiyi into the main hall of the house.

At this time, the eunuch in the palace also arrived, saying that the auspicious time had arrived, and invited the concubine to enter the palace to marry, and by the way, accept the emperor's edict!

This edict is a word, but it's amazing, and it's sealed?

The ministers have blown up the pot, this is to be knighted! The prince and uncle, the fifth-class title, according to the courtesy, Xia Mu will at least be crowned a viscount!

He was a viscount at a young age, and he won't be crowned a king in the future?

The ministers had all sorts of thoughts in their hearts for a while.

Xia Muke didn't dare to delay the princess's affairs, hurriedly got on the horse, and rushed to the palace at noon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is said that all the old ladies that Yun Guifei gave to the Xia Mansion that day were all retreated back by Luo Kedi, Princess An Ning was uncomfortable, for fear of annoying her future husband, so she just called the discipline of Zhangzuo, but later I heard about the reason, it seems that it was a maid who followed Xia Mu from the southeast.

From this, I couldn't help but guess in my heart that the maid was afraid that she had already been accepted into the room by Xia Mu, and those dog slaves provoked his woman, and the face of a master was tight, but I didn't annoy them with those eyeless things!

After a short time, Xia Mu followed the eunuch through the Huiji Gate and met Emperor Jiajing in the Qianqing Palace.

As soon as he entered the hall, Xia Mu hurriedly knelt on the ground and asked for peace: "Long live my emperor, long live my emperor." ”

"Get up and speak," Emperor Jiajing looked good today, took the tea in Huang Jin's hand, and said while drinking, "Nian Xian." ”

On the side, Huang Jin took out the holy decree and recited: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Xia Mu is very heartfelt, and he will marry Princess Anning, seal the first-class Ning Yuanbo, and give a thousand taels of gold, two pairs of Ming jade in the East China Sea, one hundred pieces of jade, and a thousand horses of silk." ”

"Minister, thank you, Lord Longen!" Xia Mu hurriedly kowtowed, thanksgiving.

Emperor Jiajing and Xia Mu Xie leaned over, his tone changed, and he spoke: "If you kid live up to my good intentions...... When I want you to be beautiful, you are natural, but if I don't want you to be beautiful, you will also die without a burial! ”

Xia Mu's heart sank when he heard this, and his whole body was even more excited, and he hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The minister will live up to the emperor's grace and serve the country loyally!" ”

Jiajing glanced at Xia Mu, only when this kid understood his thoughts, but he was afraid that he would become arrogant as soon as he gained power, so he had to warn him repeatedly: "I take a fancy to you so much, in fact, I hope that you can have a little bit of talent, and get the twelve regiments up for me to recover the Hetao." ”

Saying that, Emperor Jiajing looked at the portrait of Emperor Yongle and Zhu Yuanzhang, the second ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, and said in a melancholy tone: "Although I have no great contribution to the foundation of my ancestors in my life, I have lost the country that my ancestors have worked so hard to build. ”

When Xia Mu heard the emperor say this, he knew in his heart that the emperor must have put the hope of recovering the Hetao on himself, so he just agreed at this moment and said: "Please rest assured, if the subordinates don't recover the Hetao and recover the mountains and rivers, they would rather be shrouded in horse leather!" ”

"Okay, I'll rest assured if I have your words, you can go."

"The minister retired." Xia Mu held the holy decree and withdrew from the Qianqing Palace, his head was covered with cold sweat, and the clothes behind his back were also soaked, it seems that if he can't recover the Hetao one day, he won't be able to protect his head!

Thinking that Princess An Ning had already led the bridge with the support of the girl, she escorted Huaqiao back home.

The steward and eunuch who reported the good news from the palace had already come to report the good news one step earlier. I saw the joyful street in front of the house, a red-robed eunuch jumped off the horse, ran into the mansion, and said loudly: "Qin Ci first-class Ning Yuanbo, Jin Qianliang, two pairs of Donghai Mingyu, 100 pieces of jade, and 1,000 horses of Ayaluo." ”

When all the ministers heard this, they fell to their knees and listened to the hadith.

After that, all the ministers complimented Xu Jie, and Xu Jie's face was full of red light because of the student and his grandson-in-law who sealed Ning Yuanbo.

Yan Shifan on the side was embarrassed, and now he was afraid that he couldn't move Xia Mu anymore, so he had to drink sullenly on the side.

After a short time, the greeting team crossed Chang'an Avenue and came back.

Princess An Ning stepped into the Xia Mansion first, got out of the car, and the grandmothers led her, so she turned eastward, passed through an east-west hall, and walked towards the south hall.

I saw the large courtyard in the Yimen, the five big main houses above, the wings on both sides of the deer top ear room drill the mountain, extending in all directions, magnificent, although there is a difference between the palace and the palace, but it is almost the same.

Thinking that Princess An Ning was in front and Xu Xiyi was behind, after walking in, I knew that this was a serious inner room, a big road, and I went out of the gate directly.

A group of guests also followed into the hall, and when they looked up, they saw a large plaque of red gold and nine dragons and green land, on which were written three big characters of Dou Da "Ning Yuanbo", and then there was a line of small characters: "Jiajing forty years, the book gave Ning Yuanbo Xia Mu", and there was "the treasure of Jiajing Chenhan".

After the big red sandalwood carving case, set up three feet to the high green bronze tripod, hanging to be leaked with the big painting of the ink dragon, one side is Jin Yi, two slips underground sixteen Nanmu chairs, and there is a pair of couplets, it is an ebony joint card, inlaid with the handwriting of chisel silver, the road is: the sun and the moon are on the seat, and the front of the hall is dark and smoky.

The following line of small words, the road is: "Fellow villager Shizhen Wang Shizhen's handwritten gift to Rong Zheng's wedding", which was given by Wang Shizhen, that Wang Shizhen's handwriting is comparable to Wang Xizhi, and Yan Zhenqing has three points, a thousand words, this gift is already very heavy.

It was inconvenient for the people to enter the inner hall, so they had to sit in the outer hall. And through the three rooms on the east side of the main room is the bedroom, the old lady first led Princess Anning and Xu Xiyi into the east door, the big kang on the window is covered with a scarlet carpet, the front is set up with a big red money python backrest, the stone blue money python leads the pillow, the autumn fragrance color money python large mattress, on both sides set up a pair of plum blossom lacquer small few, on the left a few Wang Ding spoon incense box, on the right a few Ru kiln beauties.

There are fresh flowers inserted in the goblet, and tea bowls, sputum boxes and other things, and there are four chairs in the west of the ground, all of which are set up with silver and red flower-sprinkling chairs, and four pairs of feet at the bottom. On both sides of the chair, there is also a pair of high tables, and several tea bowls and vases are available.

The old ladies asked Princess An Ning to sit on the kang, but there were two brocade mattresses on the edge of the kang, and Xu Xiyi took her position, so she didn't go to the kang, and only sat on the chair to the east.

The maids in this room were busy bringing tea, and Xu Xiyi was eating tea while forgiving these maids, seeing that they were dressed up and dressed, and their manners were good. But she only called herself a personal girl to accompany her, but she was also worried, I don't know what the princess's temper is, if it is good, it can still be passed, if it is tricky, she can only endure it.

Xia Mu burned incense in the mansion at this time to worship his ancestors, and personally hung the golden plaque of the Ningyuan Bo Mansion on the plaque of the Governor Rong Government, and asked Luo Ke to send people to set off firecrackers.

At the banquet, Xia Mu first went to Xu Jie's table and toasted Xu Jie, Yuan Wei, Li Mo, Yuwang, King Jing, etc., and then went to Zhang Juzheng's table and had a drink with them.

In the end, he went to the banquet of Jinyiwei and his brothers, and asked people to send a good daughter Hong, accompanied by two large bowls, and said that the wine was not strong, so he asked Luo Kedi to accompany him, and he took Ah Sang into the bedroom.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, all the maids who were waiting for the princess hurriedly saluted, Xia Mu waved his hand, and the maids retreated with interest, and only he, Princess An Ning, Xu Xiyi, and Ah Sang were left in the house.

Xia Mu rubbed his forehead and sat on the kang, closed his eyes and sobered up the wine.

Princess An Ning glanced at Xia Mu vaguely, and said to herself: "Now that I am married to my husband, I naturally serve my husband considerately." ”

That Xu Xiyi just blushed with shame and got a handkerchief there.

Xia Mu nodded, disapproving, but picked up the tea and commanded: "In the future, all the affairs in this house will be taken care of by Ah San, you two only need to tell Ah Sang with the money, I don't have the habit of sleeping in separate rooms here, the three of them sleep in this room, you sisters love each other and live in harmony, I will also feel at ease, if anyone stirs up trouble in private, they must move out, and I will never pay attention to it in the future!" ”

When the two of them heard Xia Mu say this, their hearts sank, and they hurriedly nodded and praised Ah San.

At night, Xia Mu hid out with bad alcohol, deliberately avoiding those ministers, and only stayed in the room until almost one shift, and then quietly rode out of the back door, but went to Jinyiwei's edict.

In the past, there were many people there, and more people from his wedding brocade clothes came to the mansion to eat and drink, which was the best time for Xu Wei to visit Hu Zongxian in prison, so as not to be discovered by the Yan Party and the Li Party.

A moment later, when Xia Mu came to Jinyiwei Prison in a small sedan chair, it was almost a change of weather.

The second quarter moon that had just been drilled out of the sky sprinkled a little cold light, and a pair of stone lions in front of the prison door were dimly illuminated, which looked even more hideous and terrifying.

The cold spring wind swept over the uninhabited laneway, which made people feel the fear that the yin and yang were not about to end.

As soon as the unit was handed over, the heavily guarded Jinyi Guard Prison closed the door, and all the errands at night entered and exited through the ear door.

originally knew that Xia Mu was coming, and the prison guards who managed the prison never dared to leave.

At this time, seeing Xia Mu getting down from the women's sedan chair in casual clothes, he was stunned for a moment, and then knelt down to greet himself.

Xia Mu nodded, looked around against the night wind, and saw Xu Wei walking out of the shadows, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Wenqing has been waiting for a long time." ”

Xu Wei hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "It's a labor light, it's still so ...... on the wedding day."

Xia Mu waved his hand and smiled, asking him not to say, just let the head of the prison code lead the way, and the prison code got up to lead Xia Mu into the courtroom.

"Where are the people locked up?" Xia Mu asked as he walked.

"On death row." The prison warden replied.

"Then go directly to death row and don't go into the courtroom."

"Back to my lord, there are ghosts on death row, and there is not even a stool, my lord, you still go to the room to sit down, and I told you to go and bring that person quickly."

The prison guard was worried that the prisoners on death row would scare the young uncle, so he politely blocked it.

Xia Mu felt that there were idle people waiting in the courtroom, so it was better to be safe on death row, so he only said: "Don't be verbose, quickly lead the way and go to death row." ”

Saying that, he said to Xu Wei: "Governor Hu's case is too big, although Jinyiwei Prison is my place, but there are few people who are mixed, you only have half a pillar of incense after you go in, talk about important things, how to plan in the future, how to rescue, just pick the important ones!" ”

Xu Wei nodded, but followed silently.

Seeing Xia Mu like this, the prison guard stopped going to the courtroom, so he had to order someone to carry a stool, and the group walked to death row in a roundabout way.
