Chapter 100
Wu Feng briefly introduces the situation and opens the door to the woodshed for King Yu.
Once inside, he only saw a person lying on the ground, wrapped head to toe in ropes, leaving only the nostrils and mouth to breathe.
He is somewhat speechless: “How did you tie someone up like this.”
Xiao Bei replied, “This is what the princess told us, telling us not to be afraid of the rope.”
Zhou Xian Yang couldn’t help the corners of his mouth from rising, “Just tie up the hands and feet.” The guards at the side immediately complied.
In the darkness of the woodshed, he could finally see those stabilizing eyes. The assassin looked at him with disdain, with an expression that said, “Just let the horses come.” Zhou Xian Yang asked, “Just tie up your hands and feet.
Zhou Xian Yang asked, “Is he here?”
Xiao Bei immediately said, “They’re here.”
The assassin had some hidden surprise, not knowing what else was coming. Only to see the firewood door slowly push open, a stunningly beautiful woman walked in from the early morning light.
“Greetings to your highness.”
“You are?”
“Sister asked me to come. She’s not as good at this kind of thing as I am.”
Zhou Xian Yang nodded, “Serve him well, and you will be thanked afterwards.”
The woman whispered, “Don’t worry, Your Highness.”
Zhou Xian Yang ordered his men to watch, and left the firewood room. Wu Feng followed behind, looking skeptical, asking, “Master, aren’t we going to torture him?”
“Torture? A dead soldier who came to assassinate with poison in his mouth would be afraid of punishment?”
“Are you going to use the beauty trick?”
Zhou Xian Yang didn’t say anything: “This man will be handed over to the palace, so it’s not appropriate to lynch him and send him to the palace in a bloody mess. I’ll go into the palace first, and keep a good eye on him, don’t let anything go wrong.”
Wu Feng led the order.
When he went to Chongzheng Hall, the emperor was angry. When he saw him, he was like a savior, so he hurriedly summoned him to go in.
Zhou Xian Yang entered the hall to greet the emperor. He saw a book on the ground and picked it up, only to realize that the book had been stretched out for a long time, all the way from the ground to the top of his head.
“This ……”
The emperor laughed back in anger: “Look at Zhao Heng’s folding, stinking and long, no focus, my eyes are spent, only read half.”
Zhou Xian Yang laughed: “Where does this Lord Zhao work? Is he so honorable that he can make father tolerate such a lengthy report?”
The Emperor changed his stance and leaned back on the dragon seat, “You don’t know, this Zhao Heng is going to Jingzhou to manage the military fields. Now that the war is settling down everywhere, these soldiers, in addition to drilling, the court also gives them fields to operate on a daily basis. Zhao Heng is a meticulous person, good work, mention the idea is also very useful. It’s just that he’s as nagging as he is talking, and he can’t wait to start talking from his mother’s womb.”
Zhou Xian Yang understood, thought for a moment and said, “This Lord Zhao’s folders are very important, but Father must also take care of the Dragon’s health.”
The Emperor glanced at Xian Yang, “I am old and my eyes are not good, I am not as young and sharp as you.”
Zhou Xian Yang bowed and said, “Father is the head of the country’s dynasty, the children are all the hands and feet who listen to their father’s command, how dare they take this fallacious award.”
The emperor smiled and said, “You don’t have to be too modest either. You’ve done a good job in Qinzhou and Jiangzhou, and many of the courtiers have praised you in their folders.”
Zhou Xian Yang smiled and said, “It’s not easy to ask for this compliment. After finishing Qinzhou, I went back and slept for three days before coming to my senses. It’s not that I’m lazy, it’s just that this brain thing is much more tiring than fighting.”
The emperor laughed: “You have been in the army for a long time, the dynasty affairs are naturally not as skillful as the oldest two oldest three. Just take your time to learn.”
“Yes.” Zhou Xian Yang handed the zhang folders to Shen Du Zhi and asked him to send them back to the emperor, and with a thought, “When father encounters a lengthy zhang folders in the future, he might as well find an internal official who is fluent in ink and writing and has a strict tone of voice, and ask him to read it to you.”
“Hm?” The emperor was energized, thinking, “This is an idea, do you have a recommendation?”
Zhou Xian Yang said, “My son has not been in the palace for many years, so I am not too sure.”
Shen Duzhi pondered for a while and said, “If you are looking for an essay on ink, the only person in the palace who is particularly outstanding is Chen Rixin, the deputy governor of the Northern Palace Gate.”
The emperor nodded: “I have seen the lantern riddles he made, the meaning is good, the words are better. Just ask him to come to Chongzheng Hall to read the folders to me.”
Shen Du Zhi led the oracle to go. The emperor then remembered and asked, “What are you doing in the palace today?”
Zhou Xian Yang collected his smile and reported back, “Last night an assassin sneaked into the Yü Wang Mansion with a murder weapon.”
“What?” The Emperor stood up in shock, his brows furrowed, “Why didn’t you say so earlier!”
Zhou Xian Yang returned, “Father don’t worry, the person has been taken down, and no one in the royal residence has been injured. Only, the child minister is not good to lynch the disposal, if the public affairs …… spread out not very good, but also afraid to lead to the capital city people in fear, so I came to ask the father to show down.”
The emperor then sat back and sighed with relief: “You did not dispose of privately, this is very good. You go back first, take care of the person, don’t let him die, tonight the Criminal Justice Department will go to your residence to raise the person.”
Zhou Xian Yang had never heard of the Department of Penal Precepts, and guessed that it was a confidential department, so he did not ask more questions.
At this time, the Emperor informed the British Minister that he was waiting outside for an audience. The Emperor told him to stay for a while and meet with his father-in-law.
Zhou Xianyang felt a moment of weakness.
The Duke of England looked like he had been summoned to the palace early in the morning.
When he entered the palace, he asked, “Your Majesty, what do you want from me?”
The emperor originally just wanted to ask how the banquet at the Jing Yi Yuan was organized in a few days. Especially since the Empress Dowager is going to be there, there is no room for error.
The British public will prepare things, one by one with the emperor reported, the emperor smiled and said: “Xian Yang, I give you to say how the marriage? The Yue family will do their best for you.”
Zhou Xianyang naturally said a carload of good words in front of the two elders.
However, the Duke of England did not call a few good words blindfolded over, and asked bluntly, “The old minister was outside the palace, and happened to hear a few words about the assassins of Yuhuangfu, I don’t know if the Wangfei has been frightened.”
“Wangfei was indeed startled by the assassins last night, and did not sleep well all night. Blame me for not protecting her well.”
Zhou Xian Yang told him truthfully, and when the Duke of England pressed further, he asked him about his soft underbelly.
“I don’t know when the assassin entered the house, and where was Your Highness at the time?”
Zhou Xianyang felt that he had never been so unreasonable in his life, and could only explain honestly: “I was at General Qi’s residence, drinking with him.”
“Oh? Your Highness has a lot of work to do, so you can only drink when it’s late at night, and you can’t go home at night.”
Zhou Xian Yang hung his head, listening to how cynical he was without returning the favor.
Last time they were in the main Yang Gate in order to meet the mother into the temple has been tit for tat once, this time the reason is not good, can only be stabbed.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair, also some can not sit, can not help but say: “xianyang, you have always been a knowledgable, how to leave the princess alone at night in the house.”
Zhou Xian Yang could only say, “Yesterday and the Wangfei mixed a few words, just ……”
The Duke of England sighed and bowed to ask for permission, “The old minister really can’t bear the thought of my daughter being alone in the middle of the royal residence and risking an assassination. Please also ask Your Majesty’s permission to let the crown princess return to the British Duke’s residence to live for a few days, and only after the assassin’s matter has been ascertained can we be at ease ah.”
With words spoken to this extent, how could the emperor not agree. He watched the Duke of England leave before pointing at Zhou Xian Yang and hating him, “I really don’t know what to say about you. You know more about public affairs than anyone else, but not as much as your brothers in private affairs. British public and I have decades of friendship, father to your matchmaking, don’t get with the Wu family Li family like an enemy!”
Between the words, all for the father’s reproach worry.
Zhou Xian Yang immediately said: “Father don’t worry, my son will go to the British Duke’s residence to apologize, the Wangfei received back to the royal residence.”
“That’s it, Xiangxian is a good boy, knows how to be generous and soft and kind, puts you first in everything, such a good wife, you have to know how to cherish it.”
“My son knows that I am wrong.”
Since returning to the capital, this was the first time Zhou Xian Yang was in front of the emperor, truly heartfelt and truly felt the concern from his father.
He would naturally cherish seeing each other, but what about his father, did he ever cherish his wife when he reasoned so well?
Zhou Xian Yang pressed down his thoughts and excused himself.
The Duke of England left the palace and rode straight to Yü Wang’s residence. Zhou Xian Yang rode into the palace in a carriage, and when he left the palace, he couldn’t even see his father-in-law’s shadow.
Rong Xiangmian was woken up by Feiyun: “Girl …… girl, the Duke of the country is here, and the elder government officials are accompanied by tea in the front hall.”
Rong Xiangmian heard, immediately got up to freshen up and change, and ordered the kitchen to prepare the meals of the Duke of State, and then rushed to the main hall.
Changfu official knew the intention of the Duke of England, it is inconvenient to talk more here, so he retired.
Father and daughter first greeted, exchanging pleasantries for a while, both a little embarrassed.
The last quarrel has been more than a month in the past, although the father and daughter do not hold grudges, but said out hurtful words, is not collected back.
Good thing, Chu’s into the ancestral shrine of the matter, is a good thing. British Princess moved to tell her progress, and said: “You are a good child, your mother in heaven, know you have this filial piety, must be very happy. This life is ultimately I owe her, and can only pay back a little more by putting more effort into you.”
Seeing that his daughter is a bit tired, it must be because she was frightened last night and didn’t sleep well, the Duke of England sighed: “Originally I thought that Yu Wang is a person who knows how to cherish, but I don’t want to be such a bastard! Luckily you didn’t have an accident last night, or else my father would never rest with him.”
Rong Xiangmian raised her head in some surprise, this was the first time she had seen her father angry because he was wronged.
Looking at her father’s gray hair, she suddenly remembered Sun Mingyue’s words. Father shouldn’t be afraid of the Yu Wangfu and would protect her, right? However, what about the Emperor’s side?
In the eyes of the Duke of England, this look meant that his daughter was aggrieved but was afraid of causing a dispute and was silent. Seeing him extraordinarily angry.
“Your third sister in the Princess residence suffered some anger, that was originally our fault. What’s wrong with this Yu Wang kid? Our family is already good enough for him, right?”
Rong Xiangmian tentatively asked, “Father, if …… I mean if, I want to make peace with Zhou Xian Yang, do you think it’s feasible?”
The British Duke, who was still furious just now, instantly changed his face to one of disbelief, “Reconciliation? Silly girl, you are married by imperial decree! Isn’t a divorce a slap in the face of the Emperor?”
“I know it’s difficult.” The Emperor had only made an exception and granted his mother a grant, so to slap his face now, he probably wouldn’t have any good fruit to eat.
Sagami was just mentioning it to test his father’s intentions.
He obviously does not support: “Even if the emperor does not interfere, that Yu Wang is also the recovery of Western Qin, and Jiangzhou disaster relief, now is the time to win the hearts of the people, how can he accept that he is divorced when he is newly married? If he doesn’t nod his head, the divorce letter is also ineffective.”
“Hm,” Xiangmian thought, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run.
Seeing her serious face, the Duke of England sighed, “Anyone who has gotten married can’t help but think about the matter of reconciliation and divorce, how many of them really do it? From the royal divorce, the rest of your life who dares to marry you?”
“Who cares? Big brother said, I can stay home as a girl for the rest of my life.”
“Saying childish things, I’m old, I can stand up for you and offend the royal family after putting my bones together. But won’t your big brother’s career be over! He loves you, and he loves you so much? And Xiang Wen, still want to talk about marriage?”
Hearing this, Rong Xiangwen sighed, “I won’t say any more.”
Only then did the Duke of England pat his daughter’s shoulder, “Yuhang is going to teach him a lesson. You pack up some of your belongings and go stay with my father’s family for a few days. If the rightful owner behind this assassin is not clearly investigated, it is always unsettling.”
Rong Xiangmian was stunned, “Ah?”
Rong Sheng felt that his daughter was scared silly, completely lacking the usual resourcefulness to cope, so he said to Feiyun, “You guys follow along and go pack things for the girl.”
Feiyun didn’t dare to move and looked at Rong Xiangmian.
She laughed and said, “What is this called? The ‘returning to the mother’s home’ that’s played in the opera?”
“Yes, what newlywed couple doesn’t make a few messes like this?”
“He hasn’t come back yet, isn’t it not good for me to leave without saying anything?”
Lord British waved his hand, “He already knows. Just now in the Chongzheng Hall, I have already requested His Majesty, and His Majesty also agreed. Don’t be afraid of Yu Wang, just go home. How dare he say anything? I have something to say to him!”
