Early in the morning, Xie Tuan and his wife arranged people, packed all kinds of gifts, packed them neatly, took over the official media, and the Bai family, and the group went to the Lin Mansion in a mighty way.

Sister Yan is an unmarried little girl, naturally she can't participate in this matter, I heard that Xumiao was ordered to make alchemy for His Majesty in the palace, I am afraid that his actions will be restricted in the future, his two senior brothers, but they did not leave a good impression on His Majesty.

His Majesty suddenly remembered the matter of alchemy, and would rather believe in a little Taoist priest who didn't understand, and also asked for medicine, it seems that he is really in a hurry.

Now he is unwilling to let go of power, let alone fall, I heard that yesterday when the envoys entered the palace to meet according to the routine, the envoys of the Shang State avoided the important and lightened, and their words were sharp, His Majesty was very displeased, but it was inconvenient to turn his face.

The envoy has seen His Majesty, living in the mansion arranged by King Ye, but he has not done anything else, and he looks stable and ruthless, but how can a person who can make His Majesty angry and unspeakable, how can he be a stable person.

Xie Ling Xie Yun was summoned into the palace early in the morning, and Long Yingwei, who followed Jiang Yu out, went to Bai Qing's men overnight to resume his life, Bai Qing sorted out the information overnight, counted the number of people, and also entered the palace early in the morning.

In this operation, even the emperor's exclusive Dragon Shadow Guard lost seventy or eighty people, and Lian Jin's subordinates were fierce, which can be imagined.

Looking at the list, the emperor was even more annoyed in his heart, the people of the Shang State still dared to show off their might in front of the palace, didn't they rely on the Chu State not to easily start a war.

Suppress the anger, "Bai Qing." ”

"The minister is here. ”

"Long Yingwei is fortunate, each rewarded three hundred taels of silver, those who died in the line of duty, all died for the country, and no one added another three hundred taels to take care of their families. ”

"Thank you Your Majesty for your compassion, the minister will do a good job, and the brothers' families and ministers will also be properly settled. ”

The emperor nodded, and asked His Royal Highness to stand thinking about his confidant ministers, and several princes, "This time, the Shang State does not retreat but advances, shirking the responsibility, saying that it is the union of the eight families of the Shang State and wants to do wrong, they will give an explanation to the Chu State, what do you think?"

The official secretary Shangshu said, "The envoys of the Shang State originally came to attend His Majesty's birthday, not to solve the contradictions between the two countries, but to find a reasonable reason, first perfunctory past, just treat each other according to general etiquette, we can send a letter of state, and want to seek justice for Lian Jin himself." ”

Zuo Xiang said, "Lian Jin did not talk about the recall of the envoys, nor did he send new envoys to negotiate this matter, which is the loophole of the exploit of the birthday celebration, and the ministers think that they should have a tough attitude and not retreat." ”

The emperor said, "It's just delaying time, this matter is already difficult to decide, what I want you to think about is what to do next." ”

Xie Ling took a step forward, "Your Majesty, this step cannot be granted, and it cannot fulfill Lian Jin's excuse." ”

"Oh?"

"A few adults don't know how strict Lian Jin's deployment is, if they don't find out by luck, take advantage of their unpreparedness, I'm afraid that the Chu State will be waiting to be killed in the future, Lian Jin's deployment, there is a chance of winning against Da Chu,

And for a period of time, he quickly took away the territory of the Great Chu Sancheng, and the failure rate of the Ercheng was the intricate relationship within the Shang State, the family was chaotic, only by dealing with these families, he could sit back and relax, as long as we accepted his statement, then he could use this to eradicate the family, dictate the Shang State, and then unite the Jin State, use the secrets heard over the years, and do his best to destroy my Great Chu. ”

Someone immediately retorted, "What Xie Shilang said is too serious, and my Da Chu is not so vulnerable." ”

Xie Ling laughed inexplicably, "Heh, although the national strength of my Great Chu is much stronger than that of the Jin State, but it is only between the Shang State and the Bo Zhong, the joint strength of their two countries, don't you know in your hearts? Even if they don't dare to take risks, my Great Chu is now in decline in martial arts, Zhennan Houfu is not connected, Xiangyang Hou was injured back then, and he has not been on the battlefield for nearly ten years. ”

The crowd was silent, even if they didn't want to believe it, it was also true.

Xie Yun thought about it for a while in his heart, and said, "In addition to these, in the last Xizhou case, the theft of minerals was the key point, minerals are the country's capital, Lian Jin took the risk of smuggling them away, definitely not to resell them for profit, but to use them for armaments, and Lian Jin's cousin Cui Jie has more than 400,000 elite troops in his hands, think about it carefully, it makes people feel chills down the spine." ”

The emperor listened to their gossip and was even more worried, and this time, in addition to meticulous work, he also found out a lot of smuggling, and the whereabouts of the property were unknown, which was worrying.

Lian Jin has really penetrated into all aspects.

"What you Aiqing said is reasonable, since this is the case, we can't let it go lightly this time, first draw up the national letter, make a position, and then Xie Ling, King Ye, King Jun, and King Ling, together draft a charter to see how to deal with this matter. ”

Xie Ling was surprised in his heart, the status of King Ling in His Majesty's heart was still so important?

"Yes. ”

The atmosphere in the court was tense, but Xie Tuan and his wife were beaming.

Although there are a lot of spies around, it can't disturb everyone's good mood.

Today is Lin Yuan's rest, the gatehouse of the Lin Mansion, seeing this posture, is also surprised, and hurriedly ran into the courtyard to invite Lin Yuan.

"My lord, my lord, someone outside the door asked to see him, saying that he was Lord Xie's parents and brought a matchmaker. ”

Lin Yuan's writing hand paused, a few days ago Xie Ling kept saying that he would propose marriage immediately, and he would propose marriage immediately, Lin Yuan's brothers and sisters didn't believe it, but they didn't expect Xie Ling to be promoted, and Xie Tuan and his wife took advantage of their own rest to come to the door to propose marriage.

Hurriedly changed his robe and followed the porter out to greet him.

Most of the people in the house know at this time, Lin Zi got the news, and the needle and thread in his hand couldn't go on, and he only felt that his face was as hot as a fire.

Qing Ying couldn't help laughing, twisted the handkerchief and put a compress on Lin Zi's face, "Miss has finally waited for this day, the second master and Mrs. are excellent people, Miss will not be wronged and despised." ”

Lin Zi said angrily, "You are used to making fun of people, but it's just a marriage proposal." ”

"Take Miss and guess whether Childe will agree to this family business. ”

"Brother, he has long been coaxed by Xie Ling, and he is afraid that he will respond in one bite. ”

Lin Yuan personally welcomed Xie Tuan and his wife to the front hall, and those subordinates of Xie Mansion had already moved things into the Lin Mansion with their hands and feet, and there were few people in the Lin Mansion, so naturally they couldn't stop it.

Because of Xie Ling's entrustment, today the Li family not only cared about his future daughter-in-law, but also specially observed Lin Yuan.

Seeing that he was polite, well-spoken, gentle and good-looking, he appreciated it in my heart.

glanced at the festively dressed matchmaker, "Uncle, aunt and sister-in-law are here today?"

The matchmaker said happily, "Naturally, the two families want to get married." ”

Li said, "Our family Xie Ling likes Miss Lin, and specially asked us to come to the door to propose, and the etiquette is not careful, and I also invite Haihan." ”

"There, there, it's me who can't be entertained, since it's a proposal, I have something to ask. ”

Xie Tuan and his wife glanced at each other, and Xie Tuan said, "Please speak." ”

"Since ancient times, I have been married, and I pay attention to the right family, can my uncle and aunt know the situation of my family?"

Xie Tuan said, "Clearly, we admire Lin Shaoqing's brothers and sisters for starting from scratch, Miss Lin and her son are both tough people, and they are very compatible." ”

"My sister and I have been dependent on each other since childhood, and I want to keep her for a few more years.

Li said, "Lin Shaoqing's brothers and sisters have a deep affection, people who value feelings, the Xie family is very welcome, as for waiting for a few years, it is okay, Xie Ling is young and impetuous now, and it is good to grind." ”

Fortunately, Xie Ling is not here, otherwise it would be difficult to say that his mother has helped.

After chatting for half an hour, the matchmaker didn't interject a few words, but Xie Tuan liked this junior very much, and the conversation was endless.

Li gave the matchmaker a look.

The matchmaker said, "I don't know if I can invite Miss Lin out to see her, and Lin Shaoqing can also see what Miss Lin thinks." ”

Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment.

Li said, "Just like seeing an ordinary elder, I know that you and Ling'er are friends, and we are not here to force marriage, just come out to meet and recognize people." ”

Lin Yuan saw that her group was quite sincere, and her words were truly everyone's demeanor, and she was also full of admiration for the elders, so she responded to the request.

The little maid invited Lin Zi to come, and after close contact today, the Li family became more determined in his thoughts, this daughter-in-law is decided.

Lin Zi was shy in her heart, and her demeanor was still polite, not in a hurry, and not frightened.

Looking left and right, the more he looked, the more he liked it, Xie Tuan saw his wife like this, and he was helpless, so he had to talk to Lin Yuan about something else.

The Li and Bai clans took out the most important meeting gifts from their sleeves, but Lin Zi couldn't refuse, and finally accepted them.

A marriage proposal, from early in the morning to nearly noon.

Not long after Lin Zi came forward, he went back to the room.

The brother and sister exchanged opinions, but Lin Yuan still agreed to let Lin Zi and Xie Ling get married.

The two families exchanged tokens and invited a matchmaker to testify, Lin Yuan's heart suddenly emptied, his sister, who had depended on each other since childhood, was going to become someone else's family after all.

The Lin Mansion couldn't stay for dinner, and the Li family wanted to go home to tell everyone the good news.

The Xie family's proposal to the Lin Mansion was not something to hide, and all the families knew about it one after another.

Some people who are thinking about Xie Ling are very disappointed, but some people will not give up, they are just married, how can Lin Zi, who is worthy of marrying Xie Ling, whose parents died.

This matter is settled, and it is settled, and in a blink of an eye, the children are going to marry a wife, and the two of them are still in love, which is really lucky.

The Li family and the Bai family discussed and considered what suitable person they could introduce to Lin Yuan, who could assist Lin Yuan and manage a new family that was about to rise.

What Xie Tuan is worried about is not only the contradictions between Shang and Chu, but also the grievances between Sister Yan and Cui Yue.

Although Sister Yan doesn't look like being evil with others, she knows from the sword intent she cultivates to kill that she is not a person who repays grievances with virtue.

It's just that at this time, it's really not suitable to do it, Cui Yue framed Xie Ming and sent someone to assassinate Xie Yuan, and because of Cui Yue, Sister Yan and his party were assassinated, and Nan Qi was seriously injured, she is indeed the enemy of the Xie family, and these are all carried by Sister Yan alone.

She must have been holding this breath for a long time, and now that the other party is under her nose and can't do it directly, she must be even more uncomfortable.

When I go back later, I must find an opportunity to appease her first.
