"Snapped--!"

Xu Nanfeng, who was sitting in the Liuhua Palace discussing matters at this moment, panicked for no reason, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a slap, so frightened that the maid who was about to pour tea for him almost spilled tea on him.

"Nanfeng, what's wrong with you?"

There were other confidential ministers in Liuhua Palace, so it was inconvenient for him to show too much concern, but seeing Xu Nanfeng's expression changed, he couldn't help but look over with concern.

"My humble minister is rude, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Jing would not care about him, but the other courtiers present at this time could not help but show contempt.

All the ministers present were personally selected by the Queen Mother Feng to be in charge of the marriage between the two countries.This matter is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, so it is not unusual, and it is unexpected for everyone to let the Empress Dowager Feng delegate power to Emperor Jing to preside over it.Since Emperor Jing ascended the throne, he had never even personally reviewed the memorials. This time, he was suddenly entrusted with a heavy responsibility. Not to mention that the officials in the court were quite suspicious of this matter, even Emperor Jing himself was panicked, so he immediately called Xu Nanfeng into the office. Palace □□ major business affairs.

While the other courtiers were still discussing what kind of specifications should be used to send off their relatives, Xu Nanfeng's thoughts had long since left.The palpitation just now reminded him of the day when Fufang City fell and Jun Shuyue disappeared, and he also felt the same panic.

Could it be that something happened to Ah Shu?

And when Xu Nanfeng was still in a state of confusion, someone from the side suddenly said loudly: "I don't know if Mr. Xu has any good opinions on this matter?"

The person who spoke was Pei Huaiping, the servant of the Ministry of Rites. In the second year of Ruijing, Empress Dowager Feng personally promoted him to be the fourth-rank servant of the Ministry of Rites.This time, although the Empress Dowager Feng said that Emperor Jing would personally preside over the send-off ceremony, the officials who could be selected would most likely be disciples of the Feng family, so the real intention of this move is really intriguing.

Xu Nanfeng's heart is like a mirror, so even if he sees Emperor Jing looking at him expectantly, he has no choice but to put away his sharp edge for the time being and cater to the crowd: "Nanfeng is a countryman who has been wrongly loved by His Majesty. Discuss the government."

When Emperor Jing heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.He has seen Xu Nanfeng's views on politics before, and I don't know how much more stubborn than these old people. It's a pity that he has no official position now, and Empress Dowager Feng has the intention of suppressing him, which caused rumors in the palace to spread.He just wanted to use this opportunity to rectify Xu Nanfeng's name and let the world know his amazing talent, but he retreated before the battle?

"Mr. Xu, is there any reason to underestimate yourself? Your Majesty has been full of praise since you got this jade in the rough. It really shames us and other officials. It is rare to have the opportunity to discuss matters with Mr. Xu today. Wouldn't it be a pity if I couldn't listen to Mr. Xu's opinions in person? ?”

Pei Huaiping, an old fox, gave Emperor Jing a lot of face on the surface, but in fact he was pushing Xu Nanfeng into a dilemma.The person who is getting married today is Princess Fengping, and the one who married her is the emperor of Dongyue. If she is married to Dongyue as a princess, her title will be at most a concubine, and if she is married as a princess, she may be one of the four concubines. In the future, he will be eligible to compete for the queen's position.Empress Dowager Feng is ambitious, if her niece can sit on the throne of Queen Dongyue, the Feng family will be even more unscrupulous in Beicang in the future.

It was precisely because Emperor Jing knew this that he was reluctant to nod and agree to the conferment. Xu Nanfeng understood his intentions, but in this matter, he felt that conferring Princess Fengping as a princess might not be a bad thing.

So this time Xu Nanfeng disappointed Emperor Jing, he didn't expect that the only person standing beside him would agree to be a princess.And Pei Huaiping originally planned to take the opportunity to humiliate Xu Nanfeng, but he didn't want him to be very tactful, so he turned back in front of the battle, so the prepared sarcasm had nowhere to say.

Pei Huaiping suddenly felt a little inexplicably disappointed when even the only opponent surrendered in a court debate.

And his disappointment was far less than that of Emperor Jing, so that after the ministers dispersed, he sat alone on the dragon seat and said nothing.But when he saw Xu Nanfeng walking out with the dispersed ministers, he couldn't help but stop him sharply: "Xu Nanfeng, when did I say you can go?"

It was the first time he called Xu Nanfeng so harshly.The little emperor couldn't hold back his emotions, his emotions and anger were all on his face, and the others couldn't help but snicker when they heard the sound.Now, this Xu Nanfeng might not be able to eat and walk away.

Xu Nanfeng was anxious to go back to his residence because of that inexplicable panic, and now that Emperor Jing stopped him, he naturally wouldn't have a good face.

"I'm sick, please Your Majesty to allow me to go back to the mansion to rest."

"Is it okay?"

Although Emperor Jing was on fire, he could not help but calm down when he heard this. He looked Xu Nanfeng up and down, and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong with you? Could it be that the leg injury from last time hasn't healed yet?"

"Yes……"

"I declare that the imperial physician is here to show you. Come..."

"His Majesty!"

Xu Nanfeng interrupted him suddenly: "Your Majesty, you forgot that I am a doctor, but my illness is not in my body, but in my heart."

"How do you say that?"

"What's your majesty's opinion on today's court meeting?"

"Hmph, the fire in my heart has not subsided yet, you still dare to ask me."

Emperor Jing flicked his sleeves and turned his back: "I thought that even if everyone in the world was against me, at least you and I were of the same heart and mind. I didn't expect..."

"Your Majesty's reluctance to confer the title of Princess Fengping is because she is afraid that her father, General Fengguo, will gain power?"

"He has held military power for many years, and he has been feared by both inside and outside the court. The Queen Mother relied on him to suppress the Nie family. If his daughter gains power in Dongyue in the future, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"However, as far as I know, because of the great power of General Fengguo, he encloses land in the western region for forests in the early years and drives out the local herdsmen. The officials were frightened by his prestige and did not dare to speak too much. In the sixth year of Ruijing, General Fengguo was ordered to return to Beijing. On the way back to Beijing, he wantonly restrained the people's fat and people's anointment.

Xu Nanfeng's words made Emperor Jing's face turn pale and pale, and he trembled all over when he heard it.

He really didn't expect that a mere general of Fengguo would do so much evil. Even if such a person has outstanding military exploits, it is hard to resist the evil.

"Nanfeng, what is your purpose in telling me this?"

"Your Majesty wants to get rid of the Feng family, this marriage is the best opportunity."

If you want to perish, you must drive mad.Empress Dowager Feng's dictatorship in Beicang has long caused public resentment against Yingtian, but at this time, Emperor Jing doesn't need to take any action, just watch the changes in the dark, or push them at the right time, and they will be smashed to pieces Powerless.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, this gift of seeing off relatives should not only be done, but also should be done in a grand manner, so that the people in Beicang will know that General Fengguo's marriage to a daughter is done with the blood and sweat of the people, and the people are trampled on. corpse."

Emperor Jing stared blankly at Xu Nanfeng, at that moment he suddenly felt that the man in front of him was a little strange, and this strangeness made him feel scared.What he could think of, Xu Nanfeng had already thought of, and what he couldn't think of was also within Xu Nanfeng's calculations, so how much this man is hiding, is the face he is facing himself at this moment true?

"Your Majesty, this is politics."

Xu Nanfeng said lightly: "Now there is still room for regret, if you..."

"No! I don't regret it!"

Emperor Jing held Xu Nanfeng's hand, and said word by word: "I have been a coward for ten years, and I don't want to be unable to protect the one I love in the end. Nanfeng, no matter what the future holds, you will never leave me, right?"

"Yes, I will not leave you."

Xu Nanfeng smiled and embraced Emperor Jing into his arms, but there was no warmth in that smile, it was so cold that there was no emotion.
