Rebirth, guarding the mute at the tip of my heart

The director of the Imperial Observatory has been in this position for nearly ten years. His only wish now is to retire and then return home to enjoy his old age in peace.

After all, this position is not easy to hold. Throughout history, whenever there are natural disasters or man-made disasters that cause complaints from the people, the Imperial Observatory has always had to take some of the blame.

If you meet a reasonable and wise monarch, you will be fine. At most you will just be reprimanded. But if you are unlucky and meet a tyrant who is decisive and murderous, then it will be terrible. Being beaten is a small matter. If you are not careful, you may even lose your life.

Fortunately, the current emperor is a rare benevolent monarch, and the weather in Dali Dynasty has been good in recent years, so the people in the Imperial Observatory are living a relatively comfortable life.

It may be that things are going too smoothly, so His Majesty has not used them for almost half a year. If this continues, they will have to worry about the Imperial Observatory department being forgotten by His Majesty.

If this doesn't work at all, they will start to worry about whether they can keep their jobs.

It was at this time that Xie Ze and Jiang Xin came to the door with matters.

When Jian Zheng first heard that someone was looking for him, he was very excited. He thought that the emperor had finally thought of making use of them. He was trying his best to perform well, but then he heard about Xie Ze's purpose of coming, and then he was... dumbfounded.

"This this……"

"Why? It's just a matter of picking a date. Can't the Imperial Observatory even handle such a small matter?" Xie Ze looked at the hesitant and stammering appearance of the director of the Observatory, and said with a gloomy face and some displeasure.

"No, no..." The Supervisor twisted his face and held it in for a long time before he managed to utter: "May I ask, Your Highness, does His Majesty know that you are going to marry Lord Jiang?"

"Of course, it was His Majesty who granted the marriage and asked me to come here to choose a date." Xie Ze said righteously.

Jiang Xin: “…”

Supervisor: "..." Impossible! How could His Majesty agree to such a weird thing!

Xie Ze didn't care what he thought, he just urged the supervisor impatiently to pick a date: "The emperor's decree will come down soon, please help me pick two good dates, the sooner the better."

"..." Under Xie Ze's repeated urging, the supervisor had no choice but to pick up their Dali Dynasty's almanac, flipped through a few pages and said, "This... the 28th of this month is a good day, but..."

"Let's do it that day." Before the supervisor could finish his words, Xie Ze made the final decision.

Supervisor & Jiang Xin: "..."

"Your Highness, the Chinese New Year is coming up at the end of the month." The Supervisor was intimidated by Xie Ze's aura and dared not speak. In the end, Jiang Xin pulled his Highness's hand and reminded him in a low voice: "Isn't it too rushed?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xin quickly added: "How about postponing it until after the New Year?"

There are sacrifices before the New Year, and there will be a palace banquet on the night of the 30th. As a prince, Your Highness certainly cannot be absent, and you will be busy in the days ahead.

Xie Ze thought about it and it was true. It was indeed only a few days until the 28th. Even if he mobilized everyone in the mansion to start preparing for the wedding, it would be too hasty.

This is the only marriage we get in two lifetimes, so we can’t be careless.

"Then let's choose the next day, in the first month of the lunar year. Is there a suitable date?" Xie Ze asked the supervisor again.

"In the first month of the year, the 8th, 15th, and 26th are all auspicious days..." Although the Supervisor was surprised by the news that the two were going to get married, he still quickly gave his most professional opinion when it came to auspicious days.

"Then let's do it on the 26th. It should be ready in more than a month." Xie Ze made the decision. He wanted to give his Ah Xin the best wedding of his life.

"When His Majesty sends someone, just mention this date." Xie Ze looked at the supervisor again and gave the order coldly.

"...Yes." The Supervisor twitched his lips. If His Majesty really agreed, he would naturally be happy to do good things for His Royal Highness the Wise King.

Anyway, he is just a small director of the Imperial Observatory. As for whether the marriage of these two people will offend the ancestors and make someone unhappy, let the people who should give advice do so. He just needs to do his job well!

Although I won't meddle in other people's business, I will definitely not miss any gossip.

Soon, before Emperor Kang Yuan's decree was issued, someone heard the news and hurried to the palace to stop it.

"Your Majesty, the virtuous prince and Jiang Xin are both men. They are willing to degenerate and ignore the advice of others. It's fine if they insist on being together, but how can you grant them marriage according to their wishes?! How will the royal ancestors and the people of the world feel about such a perverse act, Your Majesty!"

When the old minister saw Emperor Kang Yuan, he fell to his knees and spoke earnestly, word by word.

However, Emperor Kang Yuan seemed to have made up his mind to make the decision for the two. After hearing the old minister's words, he did not hesitate at all and just said lightly:

"The people in the capital admire the relationship between Xie Ze and Jiang Xin, and many even privately wish that they can get married soon. Now that I have fulfilled their wishes, how do they feel?" Naturally, they are praising him for being a wise and virtuous king!

"This, this is just a small number of people..." The old minister who gave advice was choked, and even his beard was shaking with anger. After a long while, he found his angle again and continued:

"Even if the people approve, what about the royal ancestors? And the clan members, where will their reputation be if the virtuous king and Jiang Xin get married?!"

"I don't feel ashamed, do you think the royal family can beat me?"

The old minister advised: "..."

Your Majesty is right! Eunuch Wang quietly gave his master a thumbs up behind his back. It seems that the marriage of His Highness is a done deal!

"As for our ancestors..." Emperor Kang Yuan glanced at the old minister and said calmly, "A few days ago, I bathed and burned incense, and reported the matter of these two people to our ancestors, and they did not object."

"..." They are all dead. Can they jump out of the coffin even if they object? ! The old minister almost vomited blood in his chest. He said bitterly:

"Your Majesty has acted on your own despite the disapproval of the world. As a minister of the Dali Dynasty, I am unable to persuade Your Majesty, so I can only die as a warning!"

As he said this, the old minister gritted his teeth and slammed hard into the pillar beside him.

However, Emperor Kang Yuan had anticipated this. The guards beside him had been standing by the pillar, ready for battle. When they saw the old minister making a move, they almost instantly rushed forward to block the pillar and stopped the man.

Emperor Kang Yuan looked at the old minister who was being held back and struggling, and sighed, saying helplessly, "My dear minister, why do you have to embarrass me? You know Xie Ze's bad temper. If he wants to do something, even I can't do anything about it!

I don't want this to happen either. If you really want to object, you should go to the Xianwang Mansion and hit the pillar instead of hitting the pillar in my Panlong Palace. If you can dissuade Xie Ze, I will naturally grant this unprecedented marriage."

The old minister who was advising the emperor was full of disbelief: "Your Majesty, you..." He was not a fool. If he banged his head against the pillars here with His Majesty, someone would stop him. But if he went to the Prince Xian's palace, his head would be broken and he might even be kicked a few more times by that madman!

He wasn't really risking his life, he just acted as if he was fighting for his life because he knew that Emperor Kang Yuan would send people to stop him. Who would have thought that Emperor Kang Yuan would actually give him such a bad trick!

Emperor Kang Yuan saw the old minister looking choked and guessed what he was thinking. He sneered and said, "If you can't persuade the wise king, then I will have no choice but to grant the marriage."

After saying this, he no longer cared about the old minister's reaction and just left with his sleeves swung.

At the same time, he also spread the news to all the ministers in the court through this person, asking anyone who wanted to stop the marriage to go to the Xianwang Mansion and bang their heads against a pillar first. As long as he could move the Xianwang and make him feel compassion and give up the marriage on his own initiative, he would grant everyone's wish.

Otherwise, he would have no choice but to grant the marriage decree.

"..."

"So why did His Majesty suddenly grant the marriage? The wise king publicly confessed his love to Jiang Xin twice before, but His Majesty did not agree!" The ministers who received the news gathered together to discuss.

"I don't know. Could it be that Your Majesty has been infected by the crazy and moody temperament of the wise king?"

"I did hear some rumors. It was said that General Lu, who had already retired, came to the palace to meet the emperor. I don't know what they talked about, but His Majesty decided to decree the marriage."

"General Lu is actually the matchmaker himself?!" Everyone who heard this was shocked. Are people so open-minded these days? Or are they the only ones who are pedantic and conservative?

"...Not really. I heard that the old general rushed into the palace in order to sever his relationship with Jiang Xin."

"…Is he mentally healthy?" People who heard it were even more shocked. Even if Jiang Xin and Xie Ze were hanging out together, his abilities were obvious to everyone.

None of the descendants of the Lu family have any future. How can General Lu have the confidence to distance himself from such a powerful descendant? Isn't this a disease?

"I don't know whether he is sick or not, but the wedding of the virtuous king and Jiang Xin is probably for your majesty to appease and compensate Jiang Xin."

Everyone: “…”? ? ?
