Reborn to choose a husband, I will lead the deposed prince to seize my ex-husband’s kingdom

Xu Jian breathed a long sigh of relief and looked around at his three sons and his lovely wife and daughter, as if he had made a decision.

"The Xu family is full of loyal people. We will not do anything rebellious. We only have the ability to save our lives in desperate situations."

Xu Minglang and Xu Minghuai first looked at Xu Mingqing and then at Xu Jian, feeling that his father was still a little naive.

These days, no one has ever survived even half the rebellion.

In the past, they always couldn't figure out how Xu Mingyue came up with the idea that everyone is a good person.

It wasn't until today that they figured out that Xu Mingyue not only inherited all Xu Jian's innocence, but also carried it forward.

The three brothers looked at Lin Yan at the same time. Fortunately, the son resembled the mother.

No one spoke, so Xu Mingyue made the promise on behalf of all her brothers: "Dad, we all listen to you."

Before Xu Jian was moved by the fact that someone in his family understood him, Xu Mingyue looked at Xu Mingqing with her black glass eyes.

"Brother, how can we rebel?"

Xu Mansion's study had been closed since the afternoon, and when the servants brought a round of food and tea in at sunset, it was closed again.

"Knock knock knock."

There was a knock on the door. Xu Mingqing cautiously opened the study door, looked at Huba and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, Prince Chen and his son are here to visit. They are almost at the main hall now."

"Yeah." He pursed his lips slightly and said, "Be careful and wait for now. We'll sort it out a little later."

The door of the study room was locked in an instant. Xu Mingqing walked quickly to Xu Jian and held Xu Jian's wrist firmly.

"Dad, I, the Xu family, protect the mountains and rivers for the people of the world, not the Xie family."

"If you want to take it, you must first give it to it. Whether we rebel against these mountains and rivers depends on the behavior of the person on the throne."

"Dad, do you understand?"

Xu Mingqing was worried. There was no direct evidence that Xie Yan was responsible for the death of the late emperor and empress. Xu Mingyue's incident was just a normal attempt to seize imperial power, and Xu Mingyue was not even harmed.

It was not easy for his father to betray the dynasty he had been loyal to for decades in just a few days.

But Xie Yanluo's coming at night was both an opportunity and a risk.

If they catch it, they can successfully break the situation, but if the secret is exposed, their future journey will inevitably be more bumpy.

"Ming Qing, dad knows what's going on."

Xu Jian's eyes were still magnanimous, and he couldn't tell what would happen in the future, but Xu Jian had to do what he had to do to retreat from the rapid current today.

Xu Mingyue will definitely not be able to marry Xie Chongan.

The family gradually stood up and kowtowed to King Chen in the main hall: "Your Majesty Xu Jian brings his family to kowtow to King Chen. King Chen is a thousand years old."

He has not yet ascended the throne, so he should not be called the emperor.

But everyone in the Xu family already behaved like courtiers facing the emperor.

Xie Yan stood up from his seat and personally helped Xu Jian up: "Master Zhen Guo, please get up quickly."

"Thank you Chen Wang for your kindness."

Everyone in the Xu Mansion stood up from the ground. Xu Jian raised his head and looked at Xie Yan for a moment, and said: "Ming Qing, take your brothers and entertain His Royal Highness."

"My son takes orders."

Xu Mingqing picked up the sick Xu Mingyue with one hand, bowed slightly and led Xie Chongan out of the main hall, with the etiquette of facing a prince.

The sincerity of his Xu family has begun to be put on the table.

Xie Yan and Xu Jian were sitting on either side of the main seat. Lin Yan was sitting at the bottom and brewing tea himself. When the fragrant tea entered his mouth, Xie Yan showed a look of enjoyment on his face.

"More than ten years have passed, and Mrs. Sister-in-law's tea art is still unrivaled in this capital. Xu Jian, you idiot, really got a huge advantage."

Lin Yan's body was slightly blessed, and her gentle voice spoke the most normal words: "King Chen has given you great honor, and it is my great honor for my wife to marry into the family of heroes who guard the mountains and rivers for our Dayu Dynasty."

Xu Jian helped Lin Yan sit down. Judging from the change in Xie Yan's name, Xu Jian understood that what he was going to talk about today was family matters.

Not wanting to linger any longer, Xu Jian made a preemptive strike: "King Chen came here late at night, but for the sake of my daughter?"

"My king likes this little girl Mingyue very much. Ever since I left the East Palace that day, my worthless son has been whispering in my ears every day."

"There are girls in the family, and hundreds of families want to ask for her. Mingyue is still young and may not know what sincerity means. Chong'an's sincerity is well known to everyone, so I shamelessly came to Brother Xu and Mrs. Sister-in-law to ask for her."

Xie Yan took the brocade box from the servant and opened it himself. A pair of dragon and phoenix rings carved from top-quality suet jade lay in the treasure box, emitting a clear and moist light.

"This pendant belongs to me, the Emperor of the Dayu Dynasty. If you and your wife agree to this marriage, my kingdom will be passed on to Chong'an a hundred years later. Mingyue will be regarded as an example for women in the world, and the son born by Mingyue will naturally be Rule the world."

Xu Jian quickly stood up from his chair and knelt in front of Xie Yan with Lin Yan.

"When the Emperor arrived today, I was holding the helpless sons to discuss the future of the Duke's Mansion. There were two matters for the Emperor to decide on."

This kneeling, this initiative to change the name, expresses Xu Jian's firm support for Xie Yan to sit on the throne as the head of the Xu family.

Today's change was in sharp contrast to the neutrality of the previous days. Xie Yan couldn't understand Xu Jian's intentions.

"The Duke of Zhenguo just said it doesn't matter."

"First, I sincerely request the emperor to dethrone Xie Qingyao as the crown prince and appoint Xie Chongan, the eldest son of the central palace, as the crown prince."

"Secondly, I request to resign as general."

The first request is to protect Xie Qingyao’s life.

The second request is to put the king’s heart at ease.

The room fell into silence. Xie Yan put his hands together and rubbed them. The coldness of winter collided with the heat in his chest, and a thin layer of sweat formed on Xie Yan's back.

It was unclear whether Xu Jian was using this power to threaten him or whether he really meant it.

But the bait was so tempting that Xie Yan couldn't bear to let it go: "Prince Zhen Guo, why did you make such a decision?"

"The late emperor and the late queen used to treat the government well. Now the prince has been poisoned and comatose. Even if he wakes up, his broken body cannot carry the country. The late emperor and the late empress only have such a son. They have cherished him since they were young. I sincerely ask the emperor to see it. In the heart of the first emperor and his beloved son, I established a new prince so that Xie Qingyao can live the rest of his life in peace."

"I have been fighting all over the world for these years, and my body has left numerous stubborn illnesses. Now the border is relatively peaceful, and I am getting older. Now I just want to live a leisurely life with my wife."

"Of course, if there is another incident at the border in the future, I will definitely go into battle again with a sword to protect our rivers and mountains."

To be honest, Xu Jian was extremely honest, and Xie Yan no longer needed to hide his inner desires.

"For the sake of the people of the world, for the sake of the country and the country, and for the sake of Qing Yao's body, I will ask the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty again tomorrow about the matter of establishing a new prince."

Xu Jian asked: "I thank the emperor for your kindness, but what about my resignation?"

Xie Yan raised his hand and patted Xu Jian's back, pushing and pulling slightly: "It is only because of the sacrifices of countless sons of your Xu family that you and your descendants have sacrificed one after another, so that the peace of the people of the Dayu Dynasty can be achieved. I will allow you to be idle today. All the people in the world will stab this king in the back."

Xu Jian became more respectful and humble, and kowtowed again: "I dare not take credit, this world belongs to the emperor, this country belongs to the emperor, and I am just a gatekeeper in the emperor's home."
