Chapter 3: The Storm Rises, the Road to Immortality Section 230: Affinity and the County Lord (Asking for Votes!)

A woman's appearance is the most valuable wealth in her life, and she wishes to be happy after marriage, her husband and wife will follow, her husband and children, and grow old together!" Wang Xiaoer said solemnly.

At this time, Geng Furong also walked up with this cheerful step. Her appearance was even more amazing than Geng Fengxian.

She didn't wear any fancy dress, just a pale yellow dress and fluffy hair. Her charming eyes radiated a moving light.

Even Li Chengjie, who was talking and laughing with Mu Youzhi, couldn't hold back, and glanced at Geng Furong. Not to mention everyone present, they all felt that their eyes were bright. Maybe everyone will have a question in their hearts, that is, "What delicacies did Geng Zhizhi give his third daughter to eat, at such a young age, he can develop to such a point." It's a bit of a "plucking the seedlings to grow"..."

Geng Yulan looked at Geng Furong's bouncing appearance and showed a bright smile! She slowly squatted down, so that Geng Furong could easily insert the hosta in her hand into her hair.

"Big sister, Rong'er is here to congratulate the big sister for finding a wishful husband!" Geng Furong said softly with a smile, and then put the hosta in her hand on her sister Yulan's head very seriously.

Geng Yulan listened to Geng Furong's words, and she was not shy, she covered her mouth and smiled, "Good sister, let my brother-in-law buy you candy to eat when the time comes!"

At this point, the double hairpins have been brought.

Wang Xiaoer watched the three sisters finish the process, and also applauded happily and said, "Okay, the gift of the Jialu is completed! May the eldest lady welcome spring every day for the rest of her life!"

Geng Yulan also straightened her posture and bowed slightly to the many adults in the banquet, which was regarded as a formal ceremony at this time.

After Geng Yulan thanked her, Geng Fengxian and Geng Furong glanced at each other and thanked each other. The two of them slowly withdrew from the hall.

"The feast of peach and plum, there is a saying of peach and plum spring breeze, and it is also to wish the rest of your life to be happy. Then, the most honorable person in the field will bring the auspicious peach blossom crown to Miss Geng Yulan!" Wang Xiaoer said. In the plan, it should have been "Geng Yulan's father, Geng Zhi", who personally put on the peach blossom crown for Geng Yulan, but at this time, the second prince was still doing it in the seat, and he didn't know how to decide, so he turned this question to Geng Zhi on the spot.

Geng Zhi also shook his head when he heard Wang Xiaoer's words, and he slowly got up and walked towards the mountain of people. The people in the audience also looked at "the most honorable person".

Renshan was a little helpless, but Li Chengjie still didn't care about drinking and chatting with Mu Youzhi.

"Second Highness, bothering you to crown the little girl?" Geng Zhi walked in front of Renshan and said bluntly.

Renshan thought about it, then took out the holy decree from his sleeve, he got up and said, "Lord Geng, this palace holds the holy decree, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to crown Miss Yulan, it is better to give such an opportunity to Jinke Tan Hua Wang mercy people! The two of them are a good couple, especially today, to be able to crown Miss Geng Yulan with their own hands, it should be a good story in the world! This palace is also happy to enjoy the beauty of Chéng Rén, and send a favor!"

Renshan held the holy decree in one hand and walked towards Wang Lianmin, and Wang Lianmin was obviously overjoyed when he heard the second prince say this, he quickly got up and hurriedly thanked him.

However, this move seems to be a "favor", but in the eyes of many ministers, it has changed its taste. In their eyes, the move of "Renshan" must be to win over the upstarts of the imperial court, so as to cultivate their own henchmen, so as to prepare for their future "sealing", at least in the eyes of the ministers, this is a kind of tiger and wolf signal of "seizing the heir and seizing the crown".

And Geng Zhi watched Wang Lianmin "wagging his tail" so much to show goodwill to the second prince, obviously he was a little unhappy in his heart! The "Royal Prince" is a puddle of muddy water, as long as you step in, you will only fall deeper and deeper, deeper and deeper...

If you have the right opportunity, you can also find a rope or something to get out safely. But if you're not careful, or you're a little unlucky. Once you take a wrong step, there will be no more "see the light of day"...

Geng Zhi had long wanted to tell Wang Lianmin not to participate in the prince's "seizure of the prince" battle, but he never found the right time, nor did he expect that His Majesty would let a prince represent the royal family at this time to participate in his daughter's peach and plum banquet.

Geng Zhi thought about it slowly now, and only felt a chill down his back...

Geng Zhi vaguely felt that all this seemed to be in His Majesty's hands, and even if he wanted Wang Lianmin to be his son-in-law, it might be in His Majesty's plan. He made a big fuss about the early dynasty, or he still provided His Majesty with a "very suitable opportunity".

"With the etiquette of marrying a princess, he bought a royal wedding for his eldest daughter, but it was a great gift, and he was still grateful to Dade at that time. But now that he thinks about it, it may be that His Majesty wants to completely pull their Geng family into the "prince's party"!"

There are three princes in the royal family, and although the rumors are not only true, they also have some basis. The eldest prince is a little stupid and honest, the second prince is relatively normal, and the third prince is outstanding in literature and martial arts, but he suffers from an "incurable disease" that makes him incompetent for the position of prince...

Therefore, although many people in the court do not want to believe it, and there are many people who stubbornly support this "prince" who is closer to themselves, everyone knows very well that if it is really based on their own "self" conditions, the position of the crown prince of the East Palace of the "crown prince" falls on the second prince, the immortal law

is the biggest possible!

At this time, it was also he who came to send gifts and instructions to the Geng Mansion on behalf of the entire royal family, and he also personally carried the holy decree, which was simply too "unusual". You must know that the "entire royal family" naturally includes His Majesty, and "the prince personally declares the decree", which is likely to be a signal of the "dynasty"!

And this signal was just sounded in their Geng Mansion! How can Geng Zhi not worry...

Their Gengfu recruited Wang and the people as their sons-in-law, originally for the sake of the century-old plan of the "Geng Mansion"...

Geng Zhi is so "willing" to recruit a poor Tanhualang as his eldest son-in-law, just to want to be a "tumbler" in the court, he has both His Majesty's trust and favor, and his juniors to take over in the court, this is his wishful thinking.

"But if this mansion is involved in the royal family's battle for the crown prince... Then all the sweet dreams will eventually be "in vain"... Even His Majesty needs to think carefully about the matter of establishing a prince... That's because of this, no one can choose the wrong one..."

"If Your Majesty chooses the wrong person, the hundred-year foundation may be burned down in an instant after more than ten years, and the rise and fall of the imperial dynasty is often between that choice..."

"And if the ministers choose the wrong person, the light one will be dismissed and assigned, the heavy one will not be protected, and if he serves the new king in advance, he will fail again in the end... It is very likely that you will fall into the big crime of "rebellious party attached", serve the wrong king, that is, you will be beheaded all over the house, who will shout a word of injustice for you in front of the new emperor, and who will say that you are innocent..."

"That's the price of choice..."Geng Zhi is unwilling to get involved in this quagmire... But it seems that things have backfired, as if His Majesty is not willing to "let them go", as if their Geng Mansion has been invisibly involved in this war...

"Lord Geng, let's go on stage together, after crowning Miss Yulan, the palace will read the holy decree. Renshan turned his head to look at Geng Zhi, he was still stunned in place, and reminded loudly.

Geng looked at Renshan, squeezed out a smile and nodded, and then walked to the stage.

When the people on the stage saw the three coming, Wang Xiaoer waved his hand, and a maid walked up with a "peach blossom crown" carved by "colored glass". She skillfully knelt down beside Geng Yulan, and then faced the ground, her hands were too high above her head, and respectfully presented the "peach blossom crown"!

She is Geng Yulan's "close" maid, Jiu'er.

He stood beside Wang Xiaoer when he climbed the stage, and Wang Xiaoer was also very discerning, and gave up the C position, he turned sideways slightly, changed his posture, and in the eyes of everyone, his position was very similar, the position occupied by the servant between the master and the servant.

And Renshan obviously also noticed Wang Xiaoer's small movements, holding up the holy decree and saying nothing. He is not such an "arrogant" person, but the identity of the prince is here, "he wants to be approachable" and not share so many complicated etiquette with others... But for the sake of "royal face", all he can do is make himself not deliberately demand...

"Crowned!" Wang Xiaoer said loudly!

Geng Yulan's eyes were glowing with fascination, she looked at Wang Lianmin in front of her, slowly bent down, and whispered in her heart, "Please advise me for the rest of my life."

Wang Lianmin also solemnly held the glazed peach blossom crown in Jiu'er's hand with both hands, and then silently recited in his heart, "Lovesick and blind date, the sky is spring for you!"

He put the "glazed peach blossom crown" on Geng Yulan's head with great pity, and then reached out to help her up.

"Crown. Wang Xiaoer shouted, and the maid Jiu'er retreated, and another maid came up, holding a wine jug and a wine glass.

There was also a round of applause and cheers!

"Licheng, the first glass of wine to pay tribute to my father's twenty years of nurturing!" Wang Xiaoer said.

Geng Yulan gently picked up the wine jug and poured two glasses of wine. A glass of wine was handed to his father, Geng Zhi, while another glass of wine was pinched in his hand.

"Father, it's been hard work in the past few years!" Geng Yulan said very ordinary words, but it was this sentence "hard work!" that made Geng Zhi a little "tearful" in an instant!

"Eh, my good daughter!" said Geng straightly, and then both of them drank the wine in their hands!

"This second cup, let's salute the "beloved" in front of you!" Wang Xiaoer also said jokingly at this time. In fact, he can completely control this, and there are no hard requirements.

Geng Yulan listened to Wang Xiaoer's words, and there was no objection, and she poured two glasses of wine. But this time, it was Wang Lianmin who served one cup himself, and then handed the other cup to Geng Yulan.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, clinked glasses gently, and then drank down!

"This third cup, I salute everyone who is doing it, and celebrate your birthday for you!" As Wang Xiaoer spoke, he also brought his own wine, poured a glass for the mountain, and handed it over!

The people in the audience got up one after another, raised their wine glasses, and wanted to have a drink together to witness this moment!

Geng Yulan also poured three more glasses of wine.

Wang Lianmin and Geng Zhi toasted together.

"!"

Everyone drank the wine in one gulp as a sign of respect.

"Geng Zhi, Geng Yulan, get ready to receive the order!" Ren Shan walked leisurely to the front and middle of the hall. He looked down at the people who were kneeling down, and this was the first time he had experienced the feeling of "the ministers kneeling"!

At this time, Geng Furong and Geng Fengxian also ran over. Geng Fengxian deliberately made a promise

While getting together, she deliberately brought a sachet, she believed that the smell was irresistible to any man!

Geng Furong naturally hurriedly ran to the side of the master "Li Chengjie" and knelt down. Just when Li Chengjie was surprised, Geng Furong also took the time to make a grimace at Li Chengjie, and then shook her body proudly and stuck out her tongue. It's indescribably funny.

Li Chengjie looked at Geng Furong's appearance, and was also amused by her innocence. But just as he was about to laugh, he felt that an "iron tong" was attached to his waist, and he twisted him fiercely.

He shook his senses and looked at Mu Youzhi and smiled innocently to hide his embarrassment just now.

Everyone knelt on the ground, including all the maids and servants in the house, and they all knelt down honestly. There was silence in the house.

Renshan cleared his throat and then read out!

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. Today, there is Geng Yulan, the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Geng Zhijia of the Ministry of Officials, who is virtuous and virtuous, and shows off her wisdom, and I am very happy. I am grateful for the Geng family's three dynasties as officials, and for their diligence and hard work, they have contributed to the community, to the people, and even more to me! I have a special grace today, rewarding Geng Yulan as the leader of the affinity group, and specially marrying Wang Lianmin and Geng Yulan, who will get married soon! The specific time can be negotiated by Geng Zhi and Qin Tianjian in person, and the wedding must be specially held in accordance with the princess etiquette system, and Qin Zhi!"

After Renshan finished reading it aloud, he closed the holy decree and handed it into Geng Yulan's hands.

"Old minister, thank you, Lord Longen!" But Geng Zhi was the first to speak.

"The courtiers accept the decree, thank you Lord Longen!" Geng Yulan took the decree, and after her father finished speaking, she also opened her mouth in a refreshing voice, and she really had the feeling of "women don't let their eyebrows go"!

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

"The county lord Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

When the two men had received the will, all the ministers said the same. Since His Majesty has rewarded the identity of the county lord of "Geng Yulan", then His Majesty's meaning is obvious, that is, the status of "Geng Zhi" in the court has been further improved. Although he is still a secretary of the ministry, and his official residence is a product, without any transfer, but he is a county lord for his daughter, which is equivalent to adding another "special" word between the "Zhengyi product"!

And Geng Zhi also has some guesses about the deep meaning of this will...

"Special first-class product" vaguely, and "when the emperor Xu Yan", "when the uncle of the dynasty Zheng Xiaoyao", the status of the footing...

"Although there is an iron law that officials are not allowed to form parties for personal gain, His Majesty of every dynasty is like Spiegel in his heart, and it is impossible not to form a party! If there is no dispute, there is no need to engage in personal business, but if there is a dispute, even if it is "only for self-preservation," then it can be regarded as selfishness..."

"After all, His Majesty the Emperor of every dynasty is from the prince... Crown prince... Step by step. Of course, there are also those who are rebellious, directly omitting the cumbersome steps, and raising troops to rebel, which is "one will succeed in ten thousand bones, and one will not succeed in crying first..."

And now there are exactly three princes in the royal family, and under the sacred heart of His Majesty, he has vaguely erected such a signboard as Gengzhi. All the ministers and workers thought in their hearts that this "Geng Zhi" should have been tied up by His Majesty to the Tài Zi Dǎng party... No matter who is the crown prince, as long as His Majesty appoints whom, he is upright and whose henchmen he is, and the key is that "even if he establishes a new prince after the abolition", then he has to "immediately defect over"...

Everyone can see this matter clearly, Geng Zhi also thinks clearly, as for whether Renshan understands the mystery of this, even Li Chengjie didn't understand it at this time!

"Does Your Majesty really want to make your own apprentice the prince?" Li Chengjie looked at Renshan, and he couldn't figure out what his Majesty thought...

"Legend has it that the three princes, both civil and military, how to say it, it should be him who ascended to the position of the prince, is it really as rumored that he was born with that kind of disease?" Li Chengjie was a little helpless when he thought about it.

"Since Li Chengjie wants to be the minister of the society, then he naturally needs to think about it more, although Renshan is his apprentice, but he also has more contact with Renshan, in all fairness, Renshan does not have the talent of an emperor... Let's just say that he has the talent of a general, which can be regarded as "icing on the cake", thanks to him a little..."

Therefore, for the sake of the society, for the country, and for the sake of the people of the world, he is not willing to stand in the "party" of his apprentices at present... Yes, as long as he recognizes it, he will always be his apprentice, and he will always stand behind him to support him. ”

But it is precisely because of this relationship that Li Chengjie can better understand that in fact, Renshan has no intention of being the prince... If you really pass on this ninety-five position to him, I really can't tell if he will be happy or sad..."

"Let's be even! Tomorrow is a public holiday, there is no early dynasty, my father specially explained, let Lord Geng have a good banquet today, all the expenses are borne by the royal family, everyone eats and drinks happily, there will be royal wine in a while, everyone has fun, and the wine is happy!" After Renshan finished speaking, he glanced at Geng Zhi and Li Chengjie, and then walked down first and sat back in his seat.

Many ministers also got up one after another, as if they really listened to the words of the second prince, and really began to drink and talk happily! The atmosphere at the banquet was once again boiling hot.

"Everyone eat and drink well! Wine and meat are enough, everyone can eat and drink with confidence!" Geng Zhi also shouted. Laughed and walked the stage. Behind him, Geng Yulan and Wang Lianmin!

As Geng Zhi's words fell, the audience was full of congratulations!
