Zhi Xuan

Northern Capital

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and passers-by on the side of the road stopped to watch. It was a group of armored men with halberds, dragging more than a dozen men across the street.

Men are all dressed as businessmen, but in fact they are the secret work of neighboring countries.

At this time, the men were tied with ropes, most of them had bruised noses and swollen faces, and their bodies were wounded.Two people's belts were missing, and five people walked on the snow with bare feet, making cold hisses from time to time.

Residents in the northern capital are no strangers to this kind of scene.

Recently, the city has not been peaceful, the monarch ordered a strict investigation, and found out many spies with ulterior motives.

The incident of the poisoning of the wife and concubine in the son's mansion caused a lot of uproar, involving the daughter and son of the Mo country, and many people were involved, even the wife of the monarch became the object of suspicion.In the end, after checking and checking, the doubtful point fell on Mrs. Mo, which is not surprising.

Without waiting for any concrete evidence, news spread that Gongzi Hao was engaged to Xiyuan Kingdom's first son Xuan.

This incident was undoubtedly a thunderstorm, which exploded above everyone's heads.The families who intended to marry Gong Zihao were caught off guard and had no time to react.

A big family tried to stop it, but found it impossible to do so.

Gong Zixuan's status and status are all unusual, except for being a man, there is nothing to criticize.

Put yourself in the position of Gongzi Hao, if you are in the position of Gongzi Hao, you will definitely be more willing to marry Gongzi Xuan than the clan girls in China.

The two have equal identities, and in the future, Gong Zixuan will become the son of the world and even the king of the country, and the help to Gong Zihao is no small matter.Marrying a clan daughter as a wife requires worrying about the relationship with the eldest son, and balancing the power of in-laws. Compare and contrast to know how to choose.

But the Bei'an Guo clan is not reconciled!

Gong Zihao and Gong Zixuan formed a marriage alliance, the position of the wife is gone, even the concubine may not be able to send in.

It is related to the marriage of the two countries, and the other party will be in charge of the big vassal state in the future. If you think about it with your feet, you can imagine that neither the Marquis of Bei'an nor the eldest son, including Gong Zihao himself, will allow extraneous problems, let alone easily accept clan daughters.

Knowing this, the clans were even more angry.

If I had known that cooked ducks could fly, when Mohou married his sister, who were they running around for?

The more I thought about it, the more I held my breath, it was really uncomfortable not to breathe.Ever since, Dr. Chao Zhongqing didn't have any discussion, and started to shake the table together with aspirations.

Can't play tricks on big things, and can't make trouble on small things?

If it is one or two, Bei'an Hou and Shi Zizhen can handle it completely.There are too many clans who have no choice but to find trouble, and they only attack where the pain is not illegal.

This makes people uncomfortable.

After the next court, the father and son sat opposite each other in the apse, without making a sound for a long time, they both sighed heavily.

"It's not easy to handle," Bei'anhou said.

Shi Zizhen deeply thought so.

The father and son knew that there would be twists and turns in Zhao Hao's marriage, and also knew that the clan would not be reconciled, so they even made a plan in advance.It's just that I didn't expect dignified officials to be so shameless and meddling in court affairs.

"Father, why don't you come forward with your son?"

There is a clan girl in the queen house of the eldest son, and she may be able to persuade the troublesome clan through the relationship between the wives and concubines.

Bei'an Hou waved his hand, thinking that this matter is not feasible.If the eldest son Yan came forward, he would undoubtedly be showing weakness to the clan, and this was not his usual style of conduct.

"I'll think about it again."

Seeing Bei'anhou's expression, Shi Zizhen stopped talking.

The father and son sat in the hall and didn't make a sound for a long time.

The waiters were very careful when changing the brazier and serving the hot soup, they all walked lightly and did not dare to make any noise.

Compared to the troubles of Marquis of Bei'an and Shi Zixuan, Xiaoyou's family is proud and in an unusually good mood.

First, she was basically cleared of the suspicion of poisoning, and she was no longer in the center of rumors. On the contrary, Mrs. Mo became the suspect, so she was naturally in a good mood; Made her breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Gong Zihao's marriage partner made her dissatisfied as well, and she was more jealous and resentful than her own son, but thinking of the clan that suppressed her so much that she couldn't speak out, she was particularly happy.

She saw the troubles of Marquis of Bei'an and Shi Ziyu, and she also felt happy.

Years of dissatisfaction has distorted Xiaoyou's heart. She doesn't even care if she is doing well, as long as others are not doing well, she is happy.

Seeing the changes in Xiaoyou's family, Young Master Xing also has nothing to do.

The poisoning of his wife and concubines has never been resolved, and he is in the vortex of focus, very anxious.Now that the poisoning was found to be related to Mrs. Mo, the clan girls in the back house made more trouble, and he had to try to suppress it.

It's not that he loves Mrs. Mo so much, but that he knows very well that he must never have a ruthless Mrs. Zheng.If Mrs. Mo is convicted, his reputation will inevitably be implicated, and a lot of trouble will be involved.

The only solution is to categorically deny it. If it is impossible, find a way to find a scapegoat, and Madam Mo will never be convicted.

After this incident, it is difficult for the son and the wives and concubines in the back house to return to the past.

Knowing his image and reputation in the eyes of the clan, the young master X was once disheartened, and only wanted to solve the matter quickly, so he would seal it with his family.Even if you are far away from the power center, you will be doomed to be lonely in the future, and it will be better than today.

When there was a storm in the northern capital, Zhao Hao, who was supposed to be in the frontier, suddenly returned with a thousand soldiers.

When they arrived at the destination, the large army was stationed outside the city, and Zhao Hao entered the city with only two subordinate officials and fifty guards.

At that time, the clans were still stirring the wind and rain in the court, and even started to mess around.The Marquis of Bei'an and Shi Ziyan endured it again and again, their tempers were on the verge of breaking point.

Just when Marquis Bei'an was enraged and was about to attack, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the hall, accompanied by the servant's trembling voice: "See you, Gongzi Hao!"

Before the voice fell, Zhao Hao had stepped into the hall.

Different from the previous meeting, Zhao Hao was wearing armor at this time, the edge of the helmet was pressed between the eyebrows, and the feathers of the helmet seemed to be stained with blood.

As he stepped forward, an invisible evil spirit permeated the hall.

Most of the senior officials present had been on the battlefield, and some had made great military exploits after many battles. Facing Zhao Hao at this time, he still couldn't help being shocked.

The originally noisy Yizheng Hall suddenly became quiet, no one spoke anymore, all eyes were focused on Zhao Hao, the air seemed to be stagnant, and the silence was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

Zhao Hao passed Doctor Qing on both sides, stopped a few steps away from the Marquis of Bei'an, and bowed down.

The subordinate officials who followed him into the palace bent forward, holding several scrolls of bamboo slips in their hands, which recorded the agenda of Zhao Hao and Zhixuan's marriage contract, and presented them to the monarch.

"Please take a look, Your Majesty."

Zhao Hao spoke forcefully, ignoring the gazes on him, and stated the purpose of his trip.

He is not trying to win the consent of the clan, but to tell everyone face to face that the marriage has been settled and there will be no changes. Arrange whatever you want, and don't try to find trouble at will.

"Your Majesty and Young Master Xuan formed a marriage alliance, please send a traveler to Xiyuan Kingdom to set up various etiquette."

Zhao Hao spoke in one go, without giving others a chance to speak.

Surprised by his sudden return, Marquis of Bei'an and Shi Ziyu were inexplicably relieved.Especially when I saw Doctor Qing, who was too late to react, and the expressions on everyone's faces, I felt even more pleased.

Zhao Hao took the performance of his father and elder brother into his eyes, and his dark eyes scanned everyone, expressing a very clear meaning: Marriage must be concluded, not only cannot be changed, but the relevant etiquette must be finalized as soon as possible.Who is for and who is against?It's better to think clearly before expressing your opinion.

Unlike Marquis of Bei'an and Shi Zizhen, Zhao Hao has less scruples when facing the entangled doctor Qing.He didn't worry about offending more people, and any clan with a clear mind would not be arrogant.Before he has enough confidence to suppress him, he will not really turn against him.

Trouble is trouble, breath is breathlessness, his marriage is imperative.

Seeing Zhao Hao's attitude clearly, the senior officials couldn't help but sigh.

Gongzi Hao's temper has never changed, it is still the same as before.

This second son from the direct line is like a sharp blade inlaid with beautiful jade and precious stones. It looks luxurious and gorgeous, but it is actually extremely sharp. If you are not careful, you will be injured by the blade.

This knife is facing someone else, the Bei'an Guo clan is not to mention how cool it is.Once towards oneself, the taste is quite uncomfortable.

If you don't want blood to splatter on the spot, you can't give the opponent a chance to get out of the sheath.

Under the strong pressure of Gongzi Hao, the clans that had caused troubles all died down one after another, and there was no more entanglement.

After retiring from the court, they learned that there were a thousand soldiers stationed outside the city, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, all of them broke out in cold sweat.

They could imagine what would happen to them if they couldn't make Young Master Hao happy.Although the possibility of things is very small, just thinking about it will make your scalp tingle.

We should be thankful that everyone understands Gong Zihao's temper and knows current affairs well, so the situation didn't worsen.

Then in retrospect, the clans were still a little unwilling, and complained to their relatives in private that they were just pretending to lift the table, and they didn't really plan to do anything.Young Master Hao is fine, if he doesn't even press the table, he's about to smash the roof, what about it?

"As for."

This is Zhao Hao's answer to Bei'an Hou and Shi Zixuan's questions.

"Father and elder brother have scruples, but Hao is not."

In fact, Zhao Hao's toughness is necessary.

In the future, when the crown prince becomes the king of the country, Zhao Hao will inevitably leave and become a big clan that dominates one side.If he wants to overwhelm other clans and help his elder brother, he must not be weak or compromise, let alone give others any chance.

Only a strong wrist can make him stand firmer and convince more people.

Knowing Zhao Hao's intentions, Hou Bei'an nodded in relief, but also felt somewhat guilty.

Shi Ziyu felt sorry for his brother, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It's hard for you."

"Hao will marry the person he likes, very happy." Zhao Hao said that he is not embarrassed, not at all.Thinking of the marriage contract with Gong Zixuan, I feel quite good.It is only natural to be tough for marriage.

Marquis of Bei'an: "..."

Shi Ziyan: "..."

Dare to think too much?

Return their distress and guilt!

Young Master Xuan, who is far away in Zhidi, is ready to go to the western capital with a thousand soldiers.

Ding Bao and Luo Gong sent back the news that they had finished paying tribute and would return from Zhongdu soon.Among the returning team was a piece of flawless jade, which was specially rewarded to Zhixuan by the King of People.

After receiving the letter, Zhi Xuan calculated the time and thought that it would take at least 20 days for the two of them to return to Zhidi.If there is heavy snow on the way, the time will be delayed.

The matter of going to the Western Capital City could not be delayed any longer. Zhi Xuan could not wait for the two to return, so he could only entrust the fief affairs to the subordinate officials, organize the team, and prepare to leave as soon as possible.

Zhi Xuan knew in his heart that going to the Western Capital this time would inevitably cause quite a stir.

In order to ensure his personal safety, he took precautions in advance, and the soldiers and servants in the team were all loyal.And bring witch doctor and mulberry doctor together, don't give anyone a chance to attack.

On the day the team set off, it was snowing again.

Zhi Xuan was dressed in a black robe, with a jade crown on his head and a sword hanging from his waist, and stepped onto the chariot.

Amid the sound of horns, the driver waved the reins, and the sound of horseshoes and human footsteps sounded at the same time.The black team set off from Zhidi, crossed the snow-covered plain, and rushed towards the western capital.
