Chapter 66: Escaping from Prison

Previous Chapter

In Song Xu's view, Song Yi'an is a shame in his life, since it is a shame, he should not receive any gifts or bear any good luck, he should disappear into the world in the most tragic way, it is best to be silent and not to be seen by others.

But it backfired, this "son" he didn't want to admit received unexpected joy one after another, and was favored by two ministers who leaned towards the government and the opposition, and what was even more helpless was that his two favorite sons - the crown prince Song Yuanji and the king of Qi Song Yuande - also lost the opportunity and lost their reputation. Song Xu finally realized that even if it was the Ninety-Five Emperor, it was difficult to manipulate everyone's fate.

But Song Xu didn't want to admit defeat, he still wanted to fight again. Zhou Meiyu may be his last hope.

Song Xu asked: "General Zhou, what do you think of Xue Bei'er's request?"

Song Xu didn't ask Song Yi'an's opinion, and directly asked Zhou Meiyu's attitude, and the scene was a little strange.

Although Song Yi'an can't speak, he is not a fool, as a prince in the eyes of the world, whether to take a concubine depends on his wife's attitude, and it is a joke to spread it.

Zhou Meiyu said: "The minister is against it. ”

People were surprised. Has Zhou Meiyu loved Song Yi'an to such a point? Sure enough, a woman's jealousy is a ruthless knife, even if a heroine like Zhou Meiyu can't escape such thoughts.

Song Xu was secretly ecstatic, but suppressed his mood and said, "Oh? ”

Zhou Meiyu saluted His Majesty, smiled at Xue Bei'er who was shocked, and said: "Miss Xue is a well-known talented woman in the capital, she is beautiful and has a good family background, isn't it a great humiliation to be committed to the Seventh Prince as a concubine?"

Xue Bei'er's decision to fight for face was immediately rejected, and she was in a hurry, almost bursting into tears, and hurriedly said: "The Seventh Prince treats me with kindness, the courtiers don't feel wronged, the courtiers are just ......"

Zhou Meiyu made a stop gesture and interrupted Xue Bei'er's words, she said: "Miss Xue will repay her kindness, I am a rough person, and I admire it the most." Therefore, Miss Xue can't be a concubine, she can only be the wife of the Seventh Prince. ”

Yes?

Song Xu almost knelt here. Xue Bihe stood up from his chair in surprise, his thoughts a little messy. Song Yi'an, who was full of thoughts about how to deal with it, but did not have the slightest fluctuation in his expression, broke out in a cold sweat in his palms.

Xue Bei'er is both a blessing and a curse for Song Yi'an. The so-called blessing naturally raises her value, has a military and political background that is enough to compete with the prince and the king of Qi, and has an excellent reputation, so that she will not be tied down in the future; the so-called disaster, she has too many secrets, and she has the great responsibility of recovering the country, how can there be an "outsider" around her, let alone accompany her day and night.

But if you resolutely oppose it, it will definitely attract attention, and it will offend the Xue family, and there will be more trouble.

Song Xu frowned and said: "Wife, is General Zhou willing to be a concubine? I have already agreed to your relationship with the Seventh Prince in front of everyone earlier, you have made outstanding achievements and have no faults, if you are demoted to a concubine, what do you think the people of the world think of me?!"

Xue Bei'er, who was a little flustered, crawled a few steps on his knees and said, "Your Majesty is angry, the courtiers dare not be above General Zhou, and dare not compete with the general for favor." Your Majesty, please take a look!"

In contrast, Zhou Meiyu's demeanor was much more relaxed. She said: "The so-called wife and concubine are just a name, and it has nothing to do with winning or losing, let alone the country. The minister is a military general, who only knows how to expand the territory for His Majesty, but does not know how to take care of people. The minister didn't believe it, the minister became a concubine, couldn't the soldiers be able to hold the sword?" she looked at Xue Bei'er again and said, "But Miss Xue is different from the minister, her family is prominent and famous, if she suddenly becomes a concubine, it will inevitably arouse suspicion." Please make a decision, Your Majesty. ”

This is strange, two officials with status actually shirked each other's position as wives, but fought for the position of concubines. The Seven Princes are so blessed, if they don't make a sound, it's just a blockbuster!

Song Xu's eyebrows twitched slightly.

When the emperor was hesitant and his demeanor was unpredictable, Xue Bihe knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, General Zhou is broad-minded and bright, and my whole Xue clan is grateful to Dade." If the little girl is really made his wife, Weichen will be even more shameless to gain a foothold in the court. Therefore, the minister begged His Majesty to let the little girl marry the Seventh Prince at the same time as General Zhou. The ministers will definitely repay Your Majesty's grace!"

Song Xu was even more embarrassed. His chest was as depressed as a big stone, and he couldn't spit out a breath of turbidity. After stabilizing his mind, he finally issued a holy decree: "Since you have thought about it, what other opinions do I have?" I canonized the seventh prince Song Yi'an as the king of Zhao, and chose an auspicious day to marry the two princesses. As for the palace, I remember that the left wing of the previous military department Shangshu left a mansion, which was never inhabited, so I will reward King Zhao as a mansion. ”

The left wing of the former military department Shangshu was poisoned, and it was Zhongwuwei who was active in the capital that poisoned him. Because of his miserable death, the house he lived in became a murderous house, and no official dared to ask for it, and it had been idle for ten years. This reward was given to Song Yi'an, and there was a suspicion of deliberately making her unhappy.

But Song Yi'an didn't care at all, she kowtowed and thanked her.

Song Xu was even more uncomfortable, and instead announced the verdict on the crown prince and the king of Qi: "The prince and the king of Qi are punished as before!"

Originally, according to the law, Song Xu had already been greatly light-hearted, who knew that the prince cried and shouted that he was wronged, and King Qi stood up from the ground with a blue face.

Song Yuande, the king of Qi, turned around, lame, walked to Song Yi'an's side in two steps, pointed to Song Yi'an's Gujing Wubo's face, laughed wildly, and said: "You, all of you, dare to use such inferior means to frame this king, and this king will not give up." Song Yi'an, hum, you are really amazing, this king understands it, you are a sandpiper and a clam fight, a fisherman profits, a beast who has been imprisoned for ten years, suddenly out of the cold palace, and two women as backers, this king underestimates you......"

"Song Yuande, you bastard, in front of me, you dare to be so presumptuous!" Song Xu trembled with anger and scolded.

Song Yuande didn't hear it, and his body swayed, like he was drunk and crazy. The embarrassed appearance of being reduced because of injuries and fights makes people feel angry and funny. He continued to scold as if no one was around: "Dogs, you are worthy of robbing women with this king! This king will let your dog who does not bark die without a place to be buried!"

Song Xu, who had long been unable to control the situation, pointed to the prince and the king of Shu who were kneeling in front of him, and scolded: "Are you a few dead, don't pull him out!"

With Song Yuande's embarrassment, Song Yuanji felt a lot more relieved, he and Song Yuanjie stood up at the same time, ready to dissuade Song Yuande.

I didn't think that Song Yuande had completely lost his mind, raised his foot, and kicked Song Yi'an's chest fiercely!
