Chapter 180: Taiping
The emperor's marriage did not spread, after all, Xu Xian did not agree, and when the ministers in the palace considered the royal majesty, they did not dare to say this, so no one knew that Xu Xian refused the emperor's marriage in the palace.
Except, Shushan sent these people.
"Oh, the emperor wants to marry the eldest princess to you?" Pour a glass of water and wine for Xu Xian, who was busy eating, listening to what was happening in the palace today, Ye Wen felt that he was living a more and more leisurely life.
Xu Xian casually responded: "Well, but I didn't agree!"
"Wow! This is disrespectful, right?" Ye Wen didn't expect that his junior brother would have such a surname, and he would not accept the holy decree directly in front of the emperor.
Xu Xian raised his head and said strangely: "It's just that he doesn't accept the holy decree, it's not unusual, right?" Then he talked about a bunch of ancestors who refused to receive the holy decree, and Ye Wen knew that it was nothing if the Shang Dynasty didn't accept the holy decree, of course, the premise was that there had to be a reason that the emperor could approve of.
As for the marriage, Xu Xian refused with the existing marriage contract, and the emperor could not force it, unless the current emperor was willing to let the eldest princess be Xu Xian's wife with others - the royal family still had to retain its majesty, and it would never be possible for the princess to have the same status as ordinary women, on the contrary, it would not matter if Xu Xian only had a concubine.
The two chatted for a while, and finally discussed it for a few days before leaving for Shushan, anyway, it is customary for Zhuang Yuanlang to return to his hometown and province, and when he returned to Shushan County, Xu Xian casually found a reason to resign from this official.
Even the two of them have already discussed, and they have to ask Na Qingguo to come out again, and call Xu Xian to have a serious illness, his surname is dying, and he is no longer able to serve the court, so he has to concentrate on recuperating at home.
Just to prevent the cold qi in his body from recurring again, this time he needs Ye Wen to help protect Xu Xian's lungs first, so that the two cold qi do not echo, and then he can exercise this method.
"I'm going to trouble Senior Brother when the time comes!"
"Don't bother, just a little effort!"
The two of them discussed that they must go back to rest, but the two of them didn't know that in the middle of the night, some people couldn't sleep.
"What? You said that the champion refused the emperor's marriage?" In the deep palace, the roar in a certain palace even made many guards on night watch chill.
The palace maid standing on the side didn't care, as if she had expected such a reaction: "Yes, Your Royal Highness the Princess!
I saw that the woman in a gorgeous palace dress snorted angrily, and slapped her hand on the small table next to her, only to hear the sound of 'bang!', the woman in palace clothes immediately burst into tears, covering her red palm: "It hurts the princess to death!"
The palace maid sighed secretly, went up to help the princess rub her hands, and then said, "Isn't this exactly what the princess wants?
I don't want the princess to say angrily: "Then only this princess is allowed to disagree with him marrying me, how can he be told to refuse this princess?
When the palace maid heard this, she knew that the princess's temper had risen again, so she could only bow her head and not speak, and let the princess roar: "Hmph, I want to see what capital the person named Xu Xian has to dare to refuse the royal marriage!
"Ah, the princess is going out of the palace again?"
"What?" the princess said with a smug face: "Every time this princess goes out of the palace, she travels in a low-key manner, and the royal brother doesn't know that this princess goes out to play, what are you afraid of?
The palace maid looked helpless, so she could only nod yes, but said in her heart: "When did the princess go out without bringing a hundred and eighty guards, and opened the road before and after, she almost didn't raise a sign." This is also low-key? When did the emperor not know? He didn't deliberately pretend not to see it!"
"But, why did Her Royal Highness the princess go to find that Xu Xian?"
I only heard the princess snort and said proudly: "My princess wants to tell him that it's not that he rejected this princess, it's that this princess looks down on him." Even if he accepts the holy decree, this princess will never agree to this family business!"
Because of these words of this princess, in the following days, many guards were busy with chickens and dogs, and they couldn't even eat well, Emperor Wei Hong saw such a scene, so he asked the eunuch next to him: "What is my sister busy with?"
The eunuch said: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess seems to be inquiring about Lord Xu's situation, and has recruited a lot of guards, it seems that she wants to find trouble with Lord Xu." ”
"Oh?"
Wei Hong didn't expect that this matter had something to do with Xu Xian, but after thinking about it for a while, he understood that his sister was stubborn again, probably because he heard that Xu Xian refused to marry in public, so he couldn't hold his face, so he tossed so many things.
But thinking about his sister, she doesn't have any bad intentions, and she won't do anything excessive in the future, so she can toss it around, if he can have some marriage with Xu Xian because of this, he will be happier, and he is worried that he doesn't know how to win over Xu Xian!
It's just that, considering that his sister is a royal person and a daughter, if she runs out and gets a little injured this time, it will be troublesome, especially the people who came to Beijing with Xu Xian are all martial arts people.
"Xiao Chunzi, call Huangfu Zhe for me!"
Not long after, Huang Fuzhe arrived, and Wei Hong didn't say much, only said: "My sister seems to be going out to play recently, and the Qing family remembers to arrange a few stable guards to protect the eldest princess!"
Huang Fu Zhe understood as soon as he heard it, and after a few days, when Wei Hong beckoned him to ask about it again, Huang Fu Zhe replied directly: "Wei Chen made Zhou Guan accompany the princess to his side, and with Zhou Guan's skills, he will definitely be able to protect the safety of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!"
When Wei Hong heard this, some information from Zhou Guan flashed in his head: "Is it the descendant of the Zhou family who commanded the Beicheng Forbidden Army?"
Huangfu Zhe nodded and said, "Exactly!"
Wei Hong saw Huang Fuzhe nodding, and then remembered that the Zhou family had been loyal to the Shang Dynasty for generations, and the Zhou family had been capable people for generations.
It's just that he didn't expect that Xu Xian and the others were stopped by the eldest princess as soon as they left the capital, and Ye Wen, who was in the lead, immediately knew why this person came as soon as he looked at the woman in the lead.
Raising his eyes, he looked at the row of men on the opposite side who were all extraordinary, obviously elite guards who had been specially trained, and there were some good players among them.
The woman was dressed in a strong suit, riding on a tall horse, pointing the whip in her hand from afar, and shouted: "Call Xu Xian out!"
When Ye Wen heard this, he turned his head to his junior brother and said, "This trip to Beijing is really a big trouble! I don't want someone to stop me when I leave the capital!" After that, he pointed to a coniferous forest in the distance: "And there is more than one batch!" -- a certain group of people said to each other: "He is not referring to us, is he?"
And the group of people on the other side couldn't hear what Ye Wen said, but they saw him talking to Xu Xian, and then pointed to the place next to him, only to look down on himself, the woman was even more angry, and shouted at the moment: "Xu Xian, don't you come to see this princess?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Shushan faction turned their heads together, most of them were surprised, only Ye Wen knew clearly, and said to Xu Xian with a smile: "Oh, it seems that your refusal to marry has annoyed Her Royal Highness the princess!" After that, he looked at the woman riding on the horse in front of him: "It's a little familiar!"
Xu Xian also sighed helplessly, then took a few steps forward, and gave a salute to the woman on the horse: "Xu Xian, a member of the Ministry of Ministers, has seen Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping!"
"Princess Taiping......" Ye Wen was not far away, and Xu Xian's voice was not deliberately concealed, but he heard it clearly, but this title was too good, so he couldn't help but say more, so Ning Ruxue next to him heard it, and looked at Ye Wen curiously: "What's wrong with senior brother?"
"It's nothing!" said this, peeked at the woman's upper body, and secretly commented: "Sure enough, it's worthy of this title, it's really mediocre!"
A certain princess didn't know that someone was commenting on herself like this, and at this time, she was still very complacent, and waved her hand to Xu Xian: "No courtesy!"
Xu Xian stood up and asked, "I don't know what Her Royal Highness the Princess ordered to stop Weichen and his party?"
This princess Taiping only remembered at this time that she was not majestic, but to let Xu Xian know that she looked down on him at all, and she should not be proud of her refusal of the emperor's holy decree.
It's just that it doesn't seem a bit inappropriate to say this by yourself, and finally she glanced at the palace maid next to her: "Huan'er, you say!"
"Huh?
Seeing the expression of the eldest princess, the maid knew that she was helping the princess clean up the mess again, so she had to list: "Her Royal Highness the princess wants to tell Lord Xu that even if Lord Xu accepts the holy decree, the princess will not agree to that marriage!" The subtext is that Her Royal Highness doesn't look down on you at all.
It's just that the latter words are too straightforward, and there are so many people around, so it's hard to speak.
Xu Xian waited for the other party to speak in a daze, but he only had this sentence after waiting for a long time: "It's over?"
Nahuan'er was also stunned, and blinked his eyes: "It's over!"
"Oh!" Xu Xian responded, and then saluted again: "Weichen knows!" and then he was about to say goodbye and go around this group of people.
I didn't want the princess to know that the tendon was wrong, and when she saw Xu Xian's response so indifferently, she immediately said dissatisfied: "Why are you like this? Shouldn't you shout at this time?
As soon as these words came out, Mo said that the Shushan faction and his party were in a cold sweat, and even the guards brought out by this princess were full of black lines, and then turned their eyes to the side, as if it was too embarrassing to follow such a master.
The young man who had been standing next to the eldest princess took a big step when he heard this, but because he was standing behind the princess's side, the princess didn't notice it, but it made Ye Wen look at it: "Hey! This guard is also a superb!"
Xu Xian wiped his sweat and said secretly: "This eldest princess should be the emperor's sister, right?
The eldest princess didn't stop making a lot of noise on the horse, but the people of the Shushan faction couldn't always accompany the dry consumption, and when she bypassed from the side, Xu Xian said: "If there is no order, Weichen will retire!" Then a group of people Shi Ran walked around this group of guards, among which the slightly pitiful eyes of the Shushan faction made this group of guards unable to raise their heads.
The group of them walked over, and the eldest princess was still venting, so she even persuaded Nahuan'er: "Princess, go back to the palace!"
"How can this princess ever be ignored like this! Xu Xian, this princess and you are incompatible!" This voice was not unusual, but when he shouted the last 'incompatible', someone actually agreed loudly, and his voice was strong and heavy, and he directly suppressed the voice of the eldest princess.
In the end, there was a sudden burst out: "Kill!" came, the sound was shocking, and everyone who heard it trembled. When the guard beside the princess heard this, he immediately shouted, "Escort!"
Immediately, he commanded these dozens of guards to protect the eldest princess in it, and pulled out a snow-bright straight knife from his waist, waiting for the enemy to come in.
It's just that he took a look, but found that the enemy was not coming at his group, but rushed to Xu Xian and others who had just walked over, Zhou Guan saw it, and thought that Xu Xian was the new champion of the dynasty, and he was also a newly appointed official outsider, he also had the responsibility to protect, and immediately commanded several guards on the periphery and said: "Go and protect Lord Xu!"
Before the words fell, I saw that when a group of black-clothed people were still in the air, a stream of cyan sword qi shot out from the hands of a green-shirted woman, and every time the cyan sword qi flashed, a black-clothed man fell from the air.
Zhou Guan was shocked when he saw this, and said secretly: "There is such a master next to this Lord Xu?" Although he is also a royal guard, his level is not high, and he is not clear about Xu Xian's affairs. Although he is also from a family, he doesn't care about everything, so even the position of the imperial guard is an idle post and mixed qualifications.
Of course, he still has the ability, otherwise he would not have been picked by Huangfu Zhe to protect the princess, but he was just lazy.
At this time, when I saw Xu Xian's group of people and saw someone suddenly sneak attack, they didn't panic, and no one pulled out their weapons to deal with it, only the woman in the green shirt had a palm flying between the sword qi continuously, and in just a moment, most of the people in black died, and the last few wanted to turn around and run away, only to jump out of five or six zhang but the woman casually threw out a large yellow thing, and fell to the ground directly from behind.
"Good kung fu, good secret weapon! I don't know what the relationship between this woman and Lord Xu is. ”
Zhou Guan touched his chin, and secretly said that this is the woman who is married to Lord Xu? If this is the case, it is not uncommon to refuse the royal marriage.
"If I get such a wife, I'm afraid I won't be able to look down on this ......" I glanced to the side when I was slandering in my heart, and saw that the eldest princess was actually full of stars, her hands were clasped together and she looked into the distance, and her mouth asked: "Who is that sister?"
"Hey, that woman is younger than you, right?" Zhou Guan was also helpless when he saw the princess like this, and looked at the attendant beside him, and his face was also full of depression.
Looking at Ye Wen's side again, Ning Ruxue waved her hand and sent away a group of black-clothed people who were sneaking up, and then ran to pick up the copper coins, and finally went to see the identities of those black-clothed people.
"Did the junior brother offend someone in the capital?"
As soon as this group of people came out, they rushed to kill Xu Xian, obviously to take Xu Xian's surname. It's a pity that this kung fu is too loose, so Ning Ruxue sent it away casually. There wasn't even a single fish that slipped through the net, Ye Wen and the others didn't even need to make a move, they just watched from the sidelines.
Xu Xian first took a look at the identities of this group of black-clothed people, and found that none of them knew it, and when he heard Ning Ruxue speak, he said: "There are many people I have offended in the capital this time, and it is inevitable that some people will use such means to deal with me!"
"Do you want to pursue it?"
Ye Wen touched his chin and narrowed his eyes. He doesn't care about any mess, someone dares to sneak attack the people of his Shushan faction, so no matter what the identity of the other party is, he has to get this scene back. Even if the other party is a prince, he will definitely make the other party feel bad.
Xu Xian thought for a while: "Forget it, a group of clowns who jump off the beam! Just kill all these people, if they don't know how to converge, it's not too late to settle accounts together!"
More importantly, if the Shushan faction makes a big fuss in the capital, it will inevitably become a heretic sect, which will be greatly detrimental to the development of the sect, and the mountain gate that was finally built will also be destroyed.
As for the future, anyway, if he doesn't follow his career in the future, he won't have any intersection with these people anymore.
Shushan sent everyone to search these corpses, and when they turned around, they found that the princess had chased after them again, and then jumped off the horse, ran directly in front of Ning Ruxue, and stared at Ning Ruxue with star-studded eyes: "Woman, accept me as a disciple!"
"Huh?"
Not only Ning Ruxue was surprised, but the others were also overwhelmed by the words that suddenly came out, and Na Huan'er covered her face with an expression of 'I knew it would be like this'.
Only the guard stepped forward and said to Xu Xian: "In front of the Imperial Palace, Lord Xu is frightened, and the rest will be handed over to the next place!"
Then he commanded the guards to put the corpses one by one, and at the same time sent someone to inform the brothers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to get a few carts to carry the corpses back, and only after the command did he say to Xu Xian: "No matter who sent these people today, I will definitely give Lord Xu an explanation!"
If it was the other guards, I am afraid that they would not dare to speak like this, but Zhou Guan could have put it down. Because of his surname, because of the status and role of the Zhou family in the Shang Dynasty.
What's more, the people of the Zhou family all know what the emperor is most taboo about, and now they dare to make trouble and murder the new champion in front of his nose, so isn't it going to assassinate the emperor and seek to usurp the throne in the future? Therefore, this matter must be pulled out of the final murderer, but the chaotic development behind it is not something he can control. He only knew that the guy who sent the man today was bound to be unlucky.
"Guard Zhou is polite!" Xu Xian knew that the status of the imperial guards was extremely high, which was very different from the group of palace guards around him, and from the two sentences of Zhou Guan just now, it was inferred that this person's background was also extraordinary.
The two of them talked casually, and when they turned around, they found that the princess was actually hugging Ning Ruxue, crying and shouting to apprentice: "Woman, you accept the apprentice!
Ye Wen and the others looked at each other speechlessly......
