The two sides argued fiercely, neither side giving in.

So, it was already dark, and still no conclusion was reached.

Shen Du remained silent as usual.

Just sitting there quietly, listening to the quarrels between the various parties.

Originally he couldn't sit still.

But Li Qi came back and said that he had already told Cui Lingyi and told him to go ahead and do his job without worry.

It's just that he really doesn't like to participate in this kind of discussion.

But Emperor Wen was watching him closely, so he did not dare to leave without permission.

Although Emperor Wen admired his talent and favored him very much.

But no matter what, the emperor is the emperor.

No matter how favored the ministers below were, they could not surpass the emperor.

Moreover, at this moment he was just sitting there steadily, thinking about one thing in his mind.

The question is how to get the meteorite back as soon as possible.

Although he had already scheduled Cui Lingyi's surgery for half a year later.

But what needs to be prepared should be prepared early.

Moreover, it takes a very long process to make this meteorite into such a small scalpel.

"Shen Aiqing, what do you think?"

Emperor Wen suddenly asked.

Shen Du stood up steadily and said, "Your Majesty, each of you ministers has your own reasons for your considerations, and I have said everything I can. Now, as long as Your Majesty gives an order, we will obey your orders."

A standard and unbiased answer.

Emperor Wen snorted.

"You are the most cunning one. Didn't I ask you to come up with an idea?"

Shen Du bowed respectfully again, "In reply to your Majesty, how can we allow our subjects to interfere in the affairs of the court? I hope your Majesty will make the decision."

This Emperor Wen seemed to be a weak, good-natured man, and was easy to talk to.

In fact, the heart has the most ideas.

Shen Du had been taught by famous scholars since he was young, so he was naturally very clear about the minds of these emperors.

Therefore, every time he spoke in the court, he could say it just right.

Although these words did not make Emperor Wen completely satisfied, every word of praise had already made the emperor very happy.

However, Shen Du also knew that Emperor Wen would not make a decision right away.

Because of the current situation, sending troops or not sending troops is an extremely difficult choice.

No matter which one you choose, there will be no good results.

It is precisely because of this that Emperor Wen would never speak his mind.

He needs to find a spokesperson among the ministers.

Therefore, he tolerated the two parties arguing endlessly because he was looking for this person.

Although Shen Du will not be the spokesperson.

So he turned his gaze to the Grand Tutor Li Shi, who had also not spoken.

"Lord Li, what do you think?"

Li Shi is old and has always been compassionate to the world, so he naturally would not turn a blind eye to the people.

Even if there is a plague, those are the people and the city of Dajing. How can we easily give them to the northerners?

Sure enough, the old tutor's righteous words made Emperor Wen applaud on the spot.

"The Grand Master is right. The people and land of Dajing must not be lost."

"In that case, I order the Protector of the Nation General Sui Cheng to be the Marshal of the Northern Expedition and send him to the Northern Frontier early tomorrow morning!"

The minister who was arguing just now was suddenly speechless.

Some people discovered it belatedly.

Their emperor has already arranged everything in secret.

Just wait for the right time to make the final decision!

All the ministers dispersed in a hurry, and Shen Du did not stay any longer, and was the first to step out of the imperial study.

When Emperor Wen wanted to invite him to stay and continue the conversation, he found that he had already walked away.

"Why does Lord Shen always run away in such a hurry?"

Li Qi brought over a bowl of ginseng soup with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Young Marquis Shen is on vacation, and he's getting married soon."

Emperor Wen took the ginseng soup and took a sip.

"I forgot about this."

After taking another sip, Emperor Wen asked, "I heard that he is going to marry the same Miss Cui?"

"That's right." Li Qi said, handing over a clean towel.

Emperor Wen took it, wiped his hands, and threw the towel back.

"He is so devoted to her. He doesn't even like any of the princesses in the royal family?"

Li Qi laughed again, "Young Marquis is a hero, but beauty is hard to resist! Miss Cui is truly a rare beauty, no wonder the young marquis is obsessed with her."

"Really?" Emperor Wen didn't care.

As an emperor, he had three thousand concubines in his harem and had seen all kinds of beauties.

Seeing that Emperor Wen was not interested, Li Qi wanted to tell him something funny.

After all, Emperor Wen had worked hard all day and should relax a little.

"Of course, your majesty has three thousand concubines in the harem, and Miss Cui can't compare. But when I left the palace today, I heard a good thing. I wonder if your majesty is interested?"

Emperor Wen was very troubled by the war and the plague, so he nodded when he heard this.

"tell me the story."

So Li Qi exaggerated the story of Feng Zhenzhu and Xie Jin.

Emperor Wen was indeed excited by what he heard.

"So, this woman is indeed extraordinary. I wonder if my brother can handle her."

"I heard that the King of Linjiang is very happy about it, but the girl is not very happy about marrying her."

"Oh, is there such a thing?" Emperor Wen was surprised.

"It seems that my brother's marriage is really difficult. The first one was like that, and this one is...ah, that's all..."

He waved his hand, "Go and convey the order tomorrow, and ask Prince Linjiang to come to the palace and ask him if he needs my permission to marry... My brother has never asked me for anything before!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The conversation ended here.

At that time, no one had thought that Emperor Wen would soon meet Cui Lingyi and Feng Zhenzhu, and that he would start to have troubles from then on.

........

Shen Du returned to the Ningguo Marquis Mansion and just now heard Qingfeng tell him what Bu Se came to ask.

When he learned that Cui Lingyi was worried about him, his face hidden in the dark night turned into a ferocious red spider lily with bared fangs and claws.

Without stopping, he quickly came to the wall behind the garden and reached Cui's house in one step.

It was just past midnight, and he guessed that Cui Lingyi had not gone to bed yet, so he thought of going over to tell her.

After leaving the back garden, we walked all the way to the Wisteria Pavilion, where we met a few maids and old women on the way.

But these people were placed by him, so how could they have anything to say?

When they saw Shen Du, they all bowed and called him "Lord".

For a moment, Shen Du felt like he was returning home after being away from home.

He thought that if the two of them got married, it would be like this.

When he came back from outside, there was still a light on in the yard for him.

Under the lamp is his beloved wife.

With just one step, he can hold someone in his arms...

Thinking happily, he walked with exceptional briskness and in a blink of an eye he had arrived outside the Wisteria Pavilion.

Looking at the closed gate and the dark house in front of him, he felt lost instantly.

She didn't wait for him...

But he soon felt relieved.

Ali is weak and should rest early.

What is a grown man waiting for him to do?

What's more, they haven't even gotten married yet!

Although I thought so, I still felt a little uncomfortable.

He felt that this time Cui Lingyi accepted him again and agreed to marry him.

But he always felt that everything was weird.
