Chapter 24 Soft and Hard

Song Wenyuan was really startled when he saw King Wu at first sight, he dared to point fingers at Xie Tong, but he didn't dare to judge the prince who held real power, and said with a smile on his face, "The last general will not dare, I don't know that the prince is here in person, and I will miss the welcome, and I ask the prince to forgive me!"

Li Zheng walked past him and said coldly, "General Song, today this king accompanied General Xie to make a marriage, and he has been waiting outside the mansion for half an hour, and there is no response, Dr. Hong is bedridden, it is understandable, is there no one in charge of the Hong Mansion except for the doctor?", his voice revealed a sense of non-anger and self-authority, and insinuated that Song Wenyuan was in the way.

Song Wenyuan said embarrassedly, "The last general is resting in the backyard, and I haven't heard anyone report it, so I really neglected the prince! Since it is a kiss, of course Wenyuan can take charge of things, the prince is invited, everyone is invited?" Then there was a scolding of the doorman and said, "How did you do it, there was such a big situation, don't you even know how to say it? Waste, why don't you go and order someone to watch tea!"

Li Zheng walked straight towards Hong Ru's study, and said without looking back, "There is a wrong, there is a debtor, General Song doesn't have to put all the responsibility on him, I believe that a little doorman will not dare to act recklessly."

Song Wenyuan smiled awkwardly and didn't make a sound.

Everyone walked into the study, Li Zheng sat in the first place, and said, "Dr. Hong is bedridden, I'm afraid that he is infected with the wind and cold, this king will go to ask the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat the doctor, General Xie, you are about to become Dr. Hong's beloved son-in-law, of course, it is inevitable to visit, go, this king will accompany you to see Dr. Hong."

Song Wenyuan was taken aback, if he really invited the imperial doctor and found out that Old Man Hong was pretending to be sick, wouldn't he have to be a gangster. He was busy with a smile on his face, "The prince said that he was laughing, and his father-in-law was just overworked." I believe that after a few days of rest, I will be safe and sound, so please ask the prince to avoid asking the imperial doctor!"

Li Zheng's face sank. "How can this be done, the doctor has worked too hard for the country, of course, he must use the best doctor for treatment, not to mention that the saint thinks that Hong Shan is married, this matter must not be delayed, and the doctor must be allowed to get better as soon as possible, otherwise who will preside over the overall situation!"

Xie Tong and the others laughed secretly, and when they saw Song Wenyuan's panicked appearance, they were even more sure that Hong Ru was pretending to be sick. I was afraid that everyone would expose it, so I bitterly refused.

King Wu's "eager" care, so that Song Wenyuan bitter, he is his own family knows his own affairs, if the father-in-law pretends to be sick spread out, I am afraid that the name of a lifetime will be ruined, and it will be a crime of bullying the king, although the saint can not do anything to Hong Confucianism, but for a Confucianism. It is impossible for Hong Ru, who regards reputation as his life, to accept it, and he does not allow this existence to be stained in any way.

Song Wenyuan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, facing King Wu's bitterness. He really couldn't think of any way, and at this moment, he regretted his bad idea, and even scolded the eighteenth generation of King Wu's ancestors. He stubbornly said, "Lord Wang, my father-in-law has rested." It's inconvenient to bother, this is a matter of marriage. Wenyuan can handle it with full authority!"

Yi Wuxing, Cai Wei and the others laughed secretly, and said in their hearts, inviting King Wu here is indeed a clever move, and this person will make Song Wenyuan a big mess and have to compromise.

Li Zheng smiled and said, "That's very good, General Xie, bring up your dowry list and show it to General Song to see if there are any shortcomings!"

Song Wenyuan said in his heart, you are a poor boy, what can you take, so you made up your mind to embarrass Xie Tong in this matter.

Xie Tong took out the gift slip from his arms and said, "Brother Song, please take a look!"

This big brother Song made Xie Tong and Song Wenyuan's bodies tremble slightly, thinking of the scene where the two had fought side by side, it was indeed very different from the mutual calculation and deceit in front of them.

Song Wenyuan didn't feel a trace of guilt, he opened the gift list, wanting to see what Xie Tong, who had nothing, what could he come up with, the content of the gift list came into his eyes, everything and the amount was expensive, this was at least two silver in the first place, he never dared to imagine that Xie Tong would have such a big hand.

Xie Tong waved his hand and motioned for the brothers to put the dowry on the table.

The personal soldiers brought by King Wu took down the dowry of the carriage Hang one by one, and put a lot of them on the table, and everyone who watched it was dumbfounded.

Song Wenyuan casually flipped through the gift list, he couldn't find any fault with this dowry, I don't know what to do, now the Hongfu is all up and down, all up and down is up and down by him, although Hong Shan's matter is hand-picked by the saint, but he still doesn't dare to make a conclusion, the next day, if Hong Ru and Sima Xuan complain, this taste will definitely be uncomfortable.

Li Zheng saw him in a daze, and urged, "I don't know if General Song is optimistic, if it is confirmed, I will place a gift list and set a date!"

Beads of sweat seeped down Song Wenyuan's forehead, and he had been cornered by King Wu.

Hong Shan didn't know when she appeared in the crowd, she looked at Song Wenyuan expectantly, hoping to give her an expected answer.

Xie Tong saw the haggard and unlooked Hong Shan, and called out "Shan'er" in a low voice.

Li Zheng continued: "What is General Song thinking? Do you want to repent and disobey the holy will?"

Song Wenyan couldn't stand the ridicule of King Wu repeatedly, he turned his heart sideways, and was just about to agree, only to see Hong Ru trembling into the study with the support of Hong Ye.

Xie Tong hurriedly got up, although he didn't like Old Man Hong, and the two agreed with each other, but since the marriage of the Holy Lord, he had lost his previous momentum, and he was a little weak towards Old Man Hong.

Hong Ru said in a loud voice: "The old minister, see the prince, the prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

King Wu didn't buy his account, and continued: "Isn't the doctor infected with the wind and cold? If you go out so rashly, I am afraid that my condition will worsen, so please ask the doctor to go back to the room to rest!

Hong Ru sat on a wide chair, sighed, and said, "The old man has been an official in the empire for decades, serving three emperors, although he does not dare to call the patriarch of the three dynasties, but no one can be the old man's right, and has always planned to do his best for the country with his meager knowledge and be loyal to His Majesty. I'm too old to bring any improvement to the Empire!

Xie Tong faintly grasped a key, that is, last night's incident made Hong Ru lose face, Sima Xuan and others were even more shameless, Hong Ru felt that he was useless in front of the saint in an embarrassing situation, so he had the heart of retreat.

Everyone didn't understand what she wanted to say, so they kept silent and let him continue.

Sure enough, Hong Ru continued: "This time in Chang'an, the old man will take the initiative to resign, return to his hometown, and return to his hometown from anew!"

The crowd exclaimed, apparently unable to believe that this was true!

Hong Ru looked at Xie Tong, sighed, and said, "That's it, this matter is the will of heaven, of course, no one can change it, and the old man recognized Xie Tong as his son-in-law."

Xie Tong was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Xie Tong participated in Lord Yue, and asked Yuezhang to take care of his body, so as not to fall ill!"

Hong Ru said, "It's too early to say this, General Xie, the old man didn't dare to disobey the will, so he had to marry his daughter to you, but the old man had to make a time limit on this matter, within three months, you and Shan'er couldn't get married privately, otherwise even if the old man disobeyed the holy will, don't let General Xie get everything."

Xie Tong said in his heart, three months is three months, it's not a big deal, as long as Old Man Hong agrees to this matter, everything else is not a problem. But he was afraid that the enemy would interfere with it.

Xie Tong looked at Hong Shan and motioned for her to take an idea, Hong Shan smiled and nodded.

Xie Tong comprehended and said, "Xie will definitely keep his promise, please ask Dr. Hong to accept the gift list!"

Seeing that Xie Tong agreed, Hong Ru took the gift slip from Song Wenyuan's hand and stuffed it into his arms without looking at it.

Xie Tong looked at Hong Ru, after he said this, he seemed to be ten years old, this series of blows had made him completely desperate, he himself chose to give up on himself, and when he was unable to ask about the affairs of the court, he whispered to Xie Tong, "Shan'er is a good girl, I hope you can treat her well!"

When Sister Hong Shan heard this, tears welled up silently.

Xie Tong said, "This is natural, please rest assured doctor, some feelings have experienced the same joys and sorrows, shared hardships, and have been tested at the moment of life and death.

Hong Ru said to King Wu, "The old man is physically and mentally exhausted, and he wants to rest for a while, please forgive King Wu!"

Li Zheng saw that the matter was resolved so smoothly, and he was also quite relieved in his heart, and said, "Since he was sensible, Lord Hong is the position of the Taifu, teaching the princes to read and write, and this king is also one of your disciples, although it is a master-apprentice relationship, but some words still have to be said more clearly, the hero does not ask the source, General Xie is a piece of jade that has not yet been carved, the coming day is long, the doctor can see his person, and then there will be a conclusion, but this king can foresee, he will inevitably get ahead, please wait and see, we will go back!"

Song Wenyuan didn't interject for a long time, today's limelight was all robbed by Xie Tong and King Wu, especially King Wu, who steadily pressed him and made him suffer enough.

Xie Tong and the others returned to the post house, this visit, although it was a lot of uproar, but it also gained a lot, at least the old man Hong could face him resolutely and decisively, and accepted him sincerely, the three-month period, although it sounded very distant, but Xie Tong was very willing to wait.

After coming back, he slept for a long time until dawn the next day, during this time he was too tired, for Hong Shan's business, almost **** rush, the matter finally came to an end. (To be continued.) )
