Chapter 831: Marriage
Xiao Taishi said respectfully: "This is the last wish of the old minister, and please fulfill it to the Holy Lord!" ”
The courtiers heard the emperor say the word "marriage", the first thing that came to mind was Xiao Mingtang, the grandson of Xiao Taishi, everyone knew that although Xiao Mingtang had raised a lot of concubines, but there was no wife who was married by Ming Media.
knowledge, but I don't know which girl the emperor will give to Xiao Mingtang.
Except for the two Han Xuanchang brothers, who knew the inside story, almost everyone thought that the family affair was related to Xiao Mingtang.
The emperor groaned, at this moment, after reading the meaning on the excerpt, he finally determined that the Xiao family was really bowing to the Han family, and Xiao Taishi's resignation and retirement was also to show the Han family the Xiao family's intention to compromise.
To marry Xiao Lingzhi to Han Cang, this is obviously a means of marriage and alliance, and sending out his own girl is naturally a bowing attitude.
This marriage, let yourself get married, is nothing more than a situation, even if you don't want to, no one can stop the family affairs of Xiao Han and Han, and it will eventually become a fact.
His heart was full of resentment, but he knew that the situation was irreparable, so he smiled indifferently, looked at Han Xuandao, and asked, "Han Aiqing, the Taishi wants to marry Xiao Lingzhi to your Han family, what do you think?" ”
Han Mo's expression changed, and a light crossed his eyes.
Xiao Lingzhi is destined to the Han family?
Could it be that Xiao Lingzhi pleaded with the Taishi to be the master and marry him, so before parting, the Taishi Xiao asked the emperor to give this marriage?
The corners of Han Mo's mouth flashed with an imperceptible smile, he was worried that it would be difficult for him and Xiao Lingzhi to come together because of the opposition of the portal, he didn't expect that things would take such a wonderful turn, and the Xiao family actually took the initiative to propose this marriage.
"Before the old guy resigned, he did a good thing after all." Han Mo said secretly in his heart.
……
Han Xuandao, who had always maintained his calmness, walked out of the court and said respectfully: "The Taishi is so kind, and the minister is grateful. Miss Xiao is virtuous and virtuous, and she is very good-hearted, and it would be a blessing if the courtier's family could marry Miss Xiao. ”
The emperor nodded quietly, smiled faintly, and said, "In this case, I am naturally accurate for this excerpt of the Taishi." He raised his voice and said in a loud voice: "Spread my will, Xiao Lingzhi gave Han Cang as his wife, and I will be a matchmaker!" ”
After the emperor finished speaking, all the ministers said in unison: "Congratulations to Master Taishi, congratulations to Lord Han!" ”
When Han Mo heard the sentence "Xiao Lingzhi gave Han Cang as his wife", he suddenly felt like five thunderbolts, his mind was blank, he raised his head, looked at the emperor in the Jinluan Palace, opened his mouth, and his face turned white.
How can it be?
How could it be Han Cang?
Did the emperor say something wrong? Did you hear it wrong?
Han Cang was also a little stunned at this time.
Xiao Lingzhi's name, he has naturally heard of it, and he also knows that Xiao Lingzhi is a first-class beauty in Beijing, not only outstanding in appearance, but also in wisdom.
Although Xiao Lingzhi is not the real bloodline of the Xiao family, the officials of the imperial court know very well that Xiao Lingzhi has been included in the Xiao family's domestic servants a few years ago, and she is the young lady of the Xiao family.
Xiao Lingzhi is outstanding in appearance and has a correct reputation, and over the years, I don't know how many children of officials and eunuchs want to ask for it but can't get it.
Although Han Cang doesn't take women seriously, how could he not be surprised when such a talented and beautiful beauty hit his head, and in a daze, an official beside him had already reminded in a low voice: "Commander Han, don't go and thank you soon!" ”
Han Cang immediately came to his senses, except for the court, stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Thank you to the emperor!" ”
Han Mo was shocked by Han Cang's voice of gratitude, his fists suddenly clenched, and his blood surged, almost rushing up to stop this family business, but when the blood was surging, his mind still maintained a trace of clarity.
Just like all dangers encountered in the past, Han Mo was always able to keep his head calm at the most critical moment.
On what grounds did he stop it? Do you want to tell everyone that you and Xiao Lingzhi have made a private agreement for life? In this way, his reputation doesn't matter, but Xiao Lingzhi's innocence will be ruined in an instant.
In this era, no more than his previous life when his morality was lost, this is still an era with a strong sense of morality, and the innocence of his daughter's family is extremely important. It is natural that things that sentient men and women have privately decided for life before and after spending their lives in this era have not happened in this era, but such things must not be put on the table.
A young lady from a family who has not been out of the cabinet, but secretly makes a lifelong agreement with others, once this matter spreads, Xiao Lingzhi will definitely fall into the deep pool of morality.
Moreover, this family business, Xiao Taishi personally asked the emperor to be the master, Han Xuandao personally agreed, and Han Cang has even thanked him, and it has become a fact that has been set on the board, what can he do to stop this family business?
A chill was already running through Han Mo's body.
The emperor raised his hand to let several courtiers kneeling in the court get up, Han Mo didn't even know how he walked back into the court, and he didn't listen to a word in the next court discussion, until the eunuch's sharp voice shouted the word "scattered dynasty", he came back to his senses, and after sending the emperor off from the court with the ministers, the courtiers withdrew from the Taiping Hall in an orderly manner.
This thrilling court meeting also came to an end for the time being, and those unbelievable things in the court also made the ministers still not disperse the consternation on their faces after they withdrew from the court.
At today's court meeting, the Han family has a bumper harvest, and the courtiers know that even the Xiao family, which has always been strong, has compromised with the Han family, and Xiao Taishi, the first pillar of the Xiao family, even made the decision to resign and go into hiding.
There is no doubt that this court meeting has made a new prelude to the political situation of Yan State, and the Han family has replaced the Xiao family after this court meeting and officially became the first family of the Great Yan Kingdom.
Many courtiers only thought it was incredible, what had happened in the past two years was too amazing, like a patient covered in poisonous sores, and one day all the poisonous sores on his body suddenly collapsed.
The nine great families that have been poured for nearly a hundred years, in the past two years, have fallen several in a row, and in the end, although there are still four major families still surviving in the court, but the original family competition has become a thing of the past.
In the nearly 100-year history of the Yan Kingdom, although several families have the strength of the first family at different stages, other families are still able to restrain the first family, and can be restrained by forming alliances to balance the balance of power in the court.
But today, the Han family has ascended to the position of the first family, but it seems that there is no real family power that can restrain it, and now the only thing that can compete with the Han family is the royal family itself.
……
On the white marble road outside the Taiping Palace, the officials were not as quiet as before, some of them said hello to the Han family, and some of them were sighing to keep Taishi Xiao.
Although Han Cang was appointed as the commander of the Loyal and Righteous Battalion, and was given a marriage in the court, his expression was still as calm as ever, but if an official came over to say hello, this Han Cang, who had always been arrogant, also returned the courtesy, but it can also be seen from here that he was extremely happy in his heart.
If all the officials of the Han family who came out of the court were elated, but it was not necessarily the case, at least Han Mo's mood was extremely low at this time.
Although the talisman was kept temporarily, Xiao Lingzhi's marriage to Han Cang was like a thousand pounds of stone, pressing his heart.
Unconsciously, he actually walked to Han Cang's side, and Han Cang seemed to be intentionally and deliberately blocking in front of him.
Han Mo raised his head and looked at the angular and expressionless face in front of him, he could tell from Han Cang's flickering eyes that Han Cang was in a happy mood at this time.
"Big brother, congratulations!" Han Mo said lightly, but there was not the slightest hint of congratulations on his face.
Han Cang looked at Han Mo with a very strange gaze, and did not speak, and soon snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Taishi Xiao, who was not far away, saw this scene, and a strange smile crossed the corner of his mouth.
……
Han Xuanling was canonized as a hussar general, and at this time, many officials were surrounded by him, and they all said goodbye.
"Governor Han, the grace of the saint, now in addition to the general, Governor Han's martial lord is the second in the dynasty, congratulations."
"Yes, Governor Han guarded the East China Sea, and the bandits in the East China Sea were silent, reporting to me that the East China Sea was calm, and for such merits, the Holy Lord was canonized as a hussar general, which is also a matter of course."
"Governor Han, since you are here, you will stay in Beijing for a few more days, and you want to hold a banquet to get together, and please don't shirk your lordship!"
"Exactly, Governor Han, I learned that the Governor likes to drink, but the Mansion has treasured a few jars of good wine, and the Lord must appreciate his face when he turns around, come to the Mansion to taste it!"
Han Xuanling is also an open-minded and bold person, who replied one by one with a smile and got along very well with everyone.
At this moment, a eunuch hurriedly followed, and said with a smile: "Governor Han, the Holy Father has made a will, and now that Concubine Shu is pregnant, if it is convenient for Governor Han, you can go to visit." Concubine Shu knew that Governor Han was coming to Beijing, and she had been looking forward to meeting the Governor. ”
Han Xuanling hurriedly said: "The minister wants to see Niangniang, but he is worried that he will be presumptuous, since there is a decree in the saint, the minister wants to visit Niangniang now!" ”
Concubine Shu is Han Xuanling's biological daughter, she has been in the palace for many years, and it is rare to see her family, the last time she saw her father and daughter, it was four years ago, and now that Concubine Shu is pregnant again, how could Han Xuanling not want to see each other.
He now longed to go to his daughter's side in two steps and take a good look at his daughter.
The eunuch said with a smile: "The Holy Lord said that Governor Han can visit Concubine Shuniang at any time, so please enter the palace with the miscellaneous family!" ”
Han Xuanling arched his hand, his eyes showed excitement, and he bowed goodbye to the officials around him, and then followed the eunuch to the palace.
When father and daughter saw each other, it was a matter of course, and the officials naturally didn't care.
