"Your Majesty, the courtier's daughter has a vulgar temperament since she was a child, and she loves swords, which is really not a good match. Jiang Yushi hurriedly replied, "Besides, the last general has long been determined to fight on the battlefield for the empire, and if he doesn't marry in this life, he hopes that His Majesty will be fulfilled!"

"Yushi, you are full of heart and loyal to the country, and the widow is very moved. Murong Xiu said sincerely, "It's just that you still need to understand the hard work of your parents, do you know how much bitterness the head of the Jiang family spit out in front of the widow for your relatives?"

"The old minister's family affairs, how dare you bother Your Majesty?" Jiang Tianhe said with a wry smile, "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, just let this girl play by herself, anyway, the Jiang family can afford to support her." ”

"Yushi has such a stunning appearance, how can he die alone?" Murong Xiu frowned, obviously not agreeing with Jiang Tianhe's point of view, "Such a violent thing to ruin the heavens, the widow never wants to see it." ”

"Your Majesty, the courtiers really have no intention of marrying. Jiang Yushi knelt down again, and her delicate face showed a determined look, "I hope Your Majesty will take back your life!"

Rejected again, Murong Xiu's face was a little ugly, staring at Jiang Yushi's slender figure, and he was speechless for a long time.

"Jiang Lao'er, is this the good daughter you taught?" but Gong Jiuxiao suddenly sneered, "Treating Your Majesty's kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, the Jiang family's tutor is really extraordinary." ”

"Gong Lao'er, this is an old man's family matter, what does it have to do with you?" Jiang Tianhe raised his eyebrows and retorted sharply.

"If it weren't for the fact that you were only born and didn't teach, and indulged Jiang Wufeng excessively, how could Yun'er have died?" Gong Jiuxiao's eyes flashed with a hint of resentment, "Your precious daughter's reckless behavior is the best proof, tell you, there is no end between us!"

"It's all said, your precious son was killed by his own guards!" Jiang Tianhe didn't back down, "If you have to rely on Feng'er, don't you really think that our Jiang family is afraid of you?"

It turned out that the news of Gong Congyun's death had already spread all over the world, causing the imperial capital to shake and rumors to spread.

In many provinces and cities around the imperial capital, there were even rumors that the Jiang family and the Gong family had started a full-scale war, and the imperial capital was in crisis, and the smoke of gunpowder was pervasive.

This time, Murong Xiu deliberately let Jiang Tianhe and Gong Jiuxiao appear at the same time, and he also had the idea of breaking rumors and stabilizing people's hearts.

Unexpectedly, the two masters of the family still couldn't hold back after all, and quarreled in front of the people.

"Don't fight anymore. Murong Xiu's expression became more and more gloomy, but her voice was still gentle, "Jiuxiao, this matter has been clearly investigated, and the person who poisoned her is a girl from Daqian, not Jiang Wufeng." ”

"Your Majesty, that girl is very close to Jiang Wufeng, who knows if she was instructed by him!" Gong Jiuxiao gritted his teeth with tears in his eyes and said, "Cong Yunnai is the youngest son of the old minister, and he is also the most favored by the old lady, and when he learned of his death, his mother was sick in bed, and now she is only afraid of ......"

Speaking of sadness, Gong Jiuxiao couldn't help but burst into tears, his expression was extremely sad, even if he saw it irrelevant people, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.

"The surname is Gong, you don't pretend to be pitiful there!" Jiang Tianhe changed his gentle image in the past, raised his eyebrows, and scolded, "If Gong Congyun hadn't taken the initiative to come to the door to stir up trouble, where would there be such a thing? Who is the godson of the child, don't you have any points in your heart?"

"Fuck your mother's fart!" Gong Jiuxiao jumped like thunder, "Why don't you say that Jiang Wufeng's kid instigated Qiu Lao Er to bully the small with the big and force Yun'er to kneel!"

"It's a joke! What kind of identity is Qiu Er, how can that kid of my family instruct?" Jiang Tianhe sneered at each other, "Do you think that the spiritual venerable in the world is as brainless as you? Besides, Qiu Lao Er bullied your son, you don't go to the enemy family to avenge your grievances, you only know that the ten-year-old child who came to bully my family is really shameful!"

"Old horseman, you are looking for death!" Gong Jiuxiao shouted angrily, exuding a terrifying spiritual majesty on his body, and the north gate of the imperial capital suddenly blew fiercely, flying sand and stones, causing the people in the distance to exclaim again and again, and panic.

"Master Jiang, you're over!" Qiu Tianjue, the head of the Qiu family, frowned, and said rather unhappily, "Qiu Tianlong's rebellion has long been expelled from the house, and he willingly degraded and ran to the grassland to become a horse bandit, and he has nothing to do with the Qiu family, but Ling Lang doesn't know how to hook up with such a traitor, and he has harmed the fourth child of the Gong family, this matter should be thoroughly investigated!"

"What the enemy family master said is!" Gong Jiuxiao's eyes lit up, and he echoed in a loud voice, "Jiang Wufeng colluded with horse bandits and brutalized Jiangmen, I'm afraid that the plan is not small!"

"The surname Gong, you still only have this bit of talent!" Jiang Tianhe said disdainfully, "The dignified imperial marshal, you can't fight, it's a good hand to splash dirty water!"

"Whether it's splashing dirty water, you old man knows it in your own heart!" Gong Jiuxiao sneered and said, "I kindly remind you, don't act too publicly, you must know that this empire's surname is Murong, not Jiang!"

"That's enough!" Murong Xiu let out a loud shout, interrupting the quarrel between the two, "Both of them are pillars of the empire, both are indispensable, the loyalty of the Jiang family, there is no doubt, Jiuxiao, this matter should be regarded as giving the widow a face, let it pass!"

"Yes! Gong Jiuxiao's eyes were full of unwillingness, and he hesitated again and again, but he still didn't continue to entangle.

Jiang Tianhe had a "groan" in his heart, and secretly screamed that it was not good.

With his experience, he could naturally hear that the emperor was talking to him on the surface, but in fact, he was emotionally on the side of Gong Jiuxiao.

Is the Jiang family's development over the years still too fast after all?

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" he muttered inwardly, but his face showed a look of gratitude.

"You old guy, you should also reflect on it!" Murong Xiucai finished selling favors, and suddenly his face sank, "Jiang Wufeng befriended demon girls and horse bandits at a young age, what happened when he grew up?"

"Your Majesty said yes. Jiang Tianhe suddenly found that among the bigwigs present, Gong Jiuxiao and Qiu Tianjue were on the opposite side of him, and Tieque, the secretary of the military department, was Murong Xiu's confidant.

"You must know that such a thing can never be done again, and you can't rely on the widow to pull down your face every time to help you settle it!" Murong Xiu's reproaches were linked one after another, and they did not stop, "Your own children, you must also be disciplined!"

"The old minister knows his mistake!" Jiang Tianhe replied helplessly.

"The matter of Yushi is decided by the widow!" Murong Xiu continued, "No matter how powerful a woman is, she will marry someone after all, and the widow will never harm her!"

Jiang Tianhe knew that he had already fallen into the trap, and if he resisted the decree at this time, he would really push the emperor to the opposite side, and the entire Jiang family might fall into an extremely difficult situation, so he frowned for a while and was silent.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers are grateful!" Just as he was hesitating, he heard Jiang Yushi say aloud, "As Your Majesty said, the courtiers are not young, and it is time for them to get married." ”

"Oh, Yushi, did you agree?" Murong Xiu's expression was relieved, and a smile appeared on his face, "In the end, it was our young man who was second to none in Fulong, and he didn't disappoint the widow." ”

"Thanks to Your Majesty's love, the courtiers are grateful, why don't you agree?" Jiang Yushi said without humility or arrogance, "There is only a small request, and I hope Your Majesty will agree." ”

"Oh, what a request, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Murong Xiu said with a pleasant face, "Yushi, you have fought on the battlefield for the widow, and you have repeatedly performed miraculous feats, as long as you can do it, the widow will definitely agree to you." ”

"The courtiers like martial arts, and they have no other requirements for their future husbands. Jiang Yushi said firmly, "You just have to outdo me in force." ”

"This ......" Murong Xiu didn't expect her to say this, a trace of hesitation flashed on her face, "Your cultivation talent is second to none in the entire Fulong Empire, how easy is it to find someone among the younger generation who can beat you?"

"Your Majesty, if you are a big man and can't even win against your own wife, how can you gain the respect of your courtiers?" Jiang Yushi said with a heartfelt voice, "Marrying such a husband, from now on, courtiers are only afraid that they will be ashamed to see people." ”

"You girl, it's really hard to serve!" Murong Xiu cried and laughed, "Okay, the widow depends on you, the son-in-law of the Jiang family, and how to decide through a competition?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jiang Yushi lowered her eyebrows and bowed her head, and said respectfully.

"It's just that in this way, your future husband, the widow, will have to choose carefully. Murong Xiu thought for a while and said, "In this way, you can go back to recuperate, and the period of the martial arts competition will be set in seven days." ”

"The courtiers obey the order!" Jiang Yushi's heart sank, as if he heard something, but he couldn't refute it, so he had to nod his head and say yes.

"You father and daughter have not seen each other for many days, and you must be thinking about it so much, and you will be reunited. Murong Xiu turned his head to look at Jiang Tianhe and said with a smile, "Tonight, the widow will hold a banquet in the palace to reward the generals, don't miss it!"

"Thank you, Lord Longen!" said the Jiang father and daughter in unison.

......

After a show, Murong Xiu no longer stayed, and stepped directly into the glittering carriage, two snow-white horses stepped forward, "tick and tick" small steps, and soon crossed the city gate and disappeared from everyone's sight.

The Emperor's carriage was made of unknown materials, and its entire body shimmered with golden light, spacious and sturdy, even if it was attacked by a strong crossbow, it would not be damaged in the slightest.

In addition to Murong Xiu, there were two people sitting in the carriage, an old man in white and a man in green clothes.

The old man's beard was pale, his body was thin, and his eyes were bright and confident.

And the man in Tsing Yi was Ruoyan who was dressed in the costume of "Zhuge Thatched Cottage".

"Your Majesty, why did you agree to Jiang Yushi's request?" asked Ruo in confusion.

"After all, this girl has made great achievements, and she has already made concessions. Murong Xiu replied slowly, "If the widow doesn't even agree to this request, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public." ”

"The entire Fulong Empire belongs to His Majesty. Ruoyan shook his head and said, "As long as you make up your mind, who dares to disobey?"

"Ruoyan, are you sure that you can win Jiang Yushi?" Murong Xiu did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

"I heard that Jiang Yu's poetry is extremely talented, and he has reached the realm of Tianlun at a young age. Ruoyan's eyes flashed with confidence, "After all, in the same realm, Xiao Chen doesn't dare to say that he will win, but he is still seventy or eighty percent sure." ”

"Seventy or eighty?" Murong Xiu frowned, not seeming to be satisfied, "Not enough!"

"Your Majesty, seventy or eighty percent sure is a conservative estimate. Ruoyan seemed to be a little displeased, "The spiritual skills practiced by the minister are all above Jiang Yu's poems, as long as there are no accidents, there will be no defeat." ”

"It's not that people can't trust you. Murong Xiu said frankly, "It's just that if you want to weaken the Jiang family's military power without bloodshed, this is the best opportunity, and you can't afford to lose it." ”

"The minister understands. Ruoyan also seemed to realize his gaffe, and his tone softened.

"Flower old. Murong Xiu suddenly turned his head to look at the old man in white, "Excuse me, please work hard and summon Gong Jiuxiao, Qiu Tianjue, Ji Xiaoran and Xiao Wuru into the palace." ”

"Okay!" the old man in white nodded, his figure flickered, and he disappeared into the carriage in an instant.

"Your Majesty, ...... you are" Ruoyan's eyes showed a look of confusion.

The widow only promised her to marry her. The corners of Murong Xiu's mouth rose slightly, revealing a strange smile, "But she never said that there was only one competition, as long as she didn't pick her husband, this competition would not stop." ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Ruoyan suddenly realized, bent down and arched his hand, "Admire the minister!"

"Jiang family, don't let the widow down!" Murong Xiu smiled and opened the curtain on the side of the carriage and stared quietly into the distance.

In the sunlight, the shadow of the carriage was cast diagonally on the ground, stretched very long, very long......
