Zhi Xuan

Back in the Western Capital City, Zhi Xuan found everything familiar and strange.

The carriage crossed the long street and passed through several Guorenfang. People could be seen stopping by the side of the road and watching the passing team with surprise on their faces.

No wonder everyone was surprised, Zhixuan entered the city this time, accompanied by 500 guards.Even when Liu Qing came back from the battle, he had never had such momentum.

Five hundred armored soldiers were fully armed, holding a long halberd with a short knife on their waist, and carrying a crossbow on their backs. The arrow box was full, and there were two spare boxes wrapped in animal skins and hung around their waists.

Zhixuan's carriage has been remodeled, the wheels are three inches higher than normal, the carriage is more spacious, and the walls of the carriage are painted with paint, which not only looks gorgeous but also protects the wood used to make the carriage.

The front crossbar is made from a single piece of wood with a smooth surface that looks like metal after being painted.

The horses pulling the cart were wild horses that had been trapped on the way, and the first one was the horse king. Its shoulders and backs were a bit higher than the army horses, and its neck and limbs were extremely thick.The long mane is draped around the neck, flowing like water waves and satin when running.

When the team entered the city, the city gate guards did not dare to let them go.The servants of the Monarch's Mansion communicated back and forth, and it took less than half an hour before they brought the Marquis Xiyuan's decree, allowing Zhixuan to lead [-] soldiers into the city, and the rest to stay outside the city.

The wheels rolled over the long street, followed by five hundred soldiers, their movements were uniform, and even the footsteps sounded like one person.

"How long has it been since Young Master Xuan has cultivated such a strong army?"

When Zhi Xuan took away thousands of ordinary people, the news could not be kept secret.Even if Marquis Xiyuan tried every means to eliminate the influence, several empty common people's workshops were placed in the city, the evidence was right in front of him, how could things be suppressed.

Now that Zhixuan has returned to the Western Capital City, everyone recalled all kinds of things when he was sealed off, and discussions suddenly arose.There are rumors of Gong Zixuan in all the workshops, big and small, and some clan workshops are no exception.

The team went all the way, crossed two long streets, and arrived at the Monarch's Mansion.

The driver pulled the reins, and the horse stopped.

The servants following the motorcade quickly stepped forward and waited beside the car, waiting for Zhi Xuan to get off.

When Zhi Xuan got off the carriage, the chief armor gave an order, and the five hundred armored soldiers turned around at the same time, facing the monarch's mansion and waiting for orders.

The sound of armor rubbing against each other and the sound of the long halberd intertwined, making the servants waiting in front of the mansion startled.

Not to be outdone, the guards of the Monarch's Mansion also straightened their backs and opened their eyes.However, the number and weapons and equipment are not as good, and the momentum is slightly inferior.

Under the watchful eyes of the soldiers, Zhi Xuan stepped up the steps.

The servant of the Monarch's Mansion bowed his head, and when Zhi Xuan passed by, his scalp became tense.

It's only been a year, but Young Master Xuan is so tyrannical!

The scene in front of the mansion had already been reported to Marquis Xiyuan, and Marquis Xiyuan was neither surprised nor surprised by Zhi Xuan's performance.If you don't have this courage, how can you do what you did before?

Thinking of Mi Clan who was forced to show weakness, and looking at the marriage certificate on the case, Marquis Nishihara took a deep breath, realizing more and more clearly that Zhi Xuan is no longer what it used to be.

The news of Zhixuan's entry into the mansion quickly spread throughout the mansion, and everyone reacted differently.

When Mrs. Mi heard the news, she just let out a cold snort and didn't say a word.When the maidservants and servants thought she would get angry, Mrs. Mi turned around and returned to the couch, lying on her side with her eyes closed, as if she didn't care about this matter at all, and she didn't care how Young Master Kang and the Mi brothers would react. .

Today, Zhi Xuan is not the only one who has changed.

Falling from a high place overnight, the monarch's love is like a mirror, broken and hard to recover.Her son, who was dedicated to protecting her, complained a lot to her, and the family that was supposed to protect her also looked on coldly at what happened to her.

Mrs. Mi gradually began to wake up, realizing how confused she had been all these years.

However, she was unwilling after all.

This unwillingness haunted her day and night, burning like a raging fire.The calmer the surface, the hotter the fire in her heart would burn, and one day it would burn her to death, leaving no ashes behind.

When Mrs. Yang received the news, she sent someone to find her two daughters as soon as possible, and told them face to face that they must be cautious in their words and deeds in the next period of time, and strictly restrain the people around them. .

"Remember, don't take it lightly."

"promise."

Yuan Tao and Yuan Ying agreed in unison.

Even though the two sisters are not familiar with political affairs, after this period of wind and rain, they also know that the court and China are not peaceful.

Gong Zixuan came back this time and brought back the marriage letter with Gong Zihao, which not only surprised them, but also made them feel that the court and the palace would not be peaceful.

Without Mrs. Yang's advice, the two of them will also restrain the people around them after learning from the previous experience and lessons, and must not make mistakes at this time.Otherwise, let alone interceding for them, you will be troubled yourself.

Apart from Mrs. Mi and Mrs. Yang, all the concubines of Marquis Xiyuan heard the news, and they all reacted surprisingly unanimously. They strictly ordered those around them to restrain their behavior, and they were not allowed to approach the front hall half a step in front of the son Xuanli's mansion.

To be able to survive in the Monarch's Mansion for more than ten years, regardless of whether or not to have children, and regardless of temperament, will never be a stupid person.

Mrs. Mi is arrogant and domineering, more because Marquis Xiyuan deliberately spoiled her.In fact she is by no means stupid.To be chosen by the family to be sent to the monarch's mansion, beauty is important, as is brains.It's a pity that Hou Qigao of Xiyuan made a move, and the chess pieces carefully cultivated by Mrs. Mi were eventually discarded by him on the chessboard.

Zhi Xuan walked through the corridor and came to the apse where Marquis Xiyuan was.

The weather was cold, and the cold wind blew through the corridor, rolling up Zhi Xuan's sleeves.

The door of the hall was wide open, and Marquis Xiyuan sat behind the case, separated by a distance, looking at his son who stepped in and saluted him.

No matter what kind of thoughts he had, and no matter how he felt about Xi Yuanhou, Zhi Xuan was meticulous in etiquette, and no one could fault him.

"sit."

Marquis Xiyuan pointed at the table and motioned for Zhi Xuan to take a seat.

"Thank you sir." Zhi Xuan bowed again, got up and walked forward, sitting upright.The black sleeves vibrated, covering his side like crow wings.

Marquis Xiyuan carefully looked at his son in front of him. Compared with Jiufeng, his appearance has not changed much, but his temperament has become very different.

If the young master Xuan was very introverted back then, the young man sitting in front of him now is like a sword out of its sheath, showing its sharpness, ready to kill someone at any time.

It's only been a year, how much has changed?

Marquis Xiyuan lowered his gaze, thoughtful.

He remained silent, and Zhi Xuan did not speak either.

The father and son sat opposite each other and fell silent together.

The servants stood guard outside the hall, seeing the situation inside the hall, they did not dare to make a sound, they all stood with their backs to the wall with lowered brows and eyes, like wooden sculptures made of clay.

After a long time, a few sparks flew out of the brazier, and there was a slight explosion.

Marquis Xiyuan suddenly came back to his senses, and looked at Zhi Xuan, who had a calm expression and nothing unusual. He somehow overlapped with the previous Marquis Xiyuan in his memory, making him clenched his fingers involuntarily.

"I have made a marriage alliance with Gongzi Hao, why didn't you inform me in advance?"

If Xi Yuanhou didn't open his mouth, then let it go, and if he opened his mouth, he would ask questions.He didn't intend to do so, but Zhi Xuan's face-to-face made him recall the past, and the words blurted out.

Zhi Xuan's heart moved slightly, not because of Xi Yuanhou's questioning, but because of surprise, in his impression, Xi Yuanhou shouldn't be so restless.

Maybe he thought too much.

The scumbag's original intention was to blame, and there was nothing to be surprised about.

"It's my son who didn't think well." Zhi Xuan admitted generously.Anyway, the marriage has already been settled, so there is no harm in being reprimanded verbally.

Zhi Xuan's attitude made Xi Yuanhou's chest feel tight.

How can this make him go on?

A rebuttal can accuse his son of disobedience, an excuse can also be reprimanded, what else can he do if he admits his mistake directly?

Holding a breath in his chest, Xi Yuanhou said in a deep voice: "Your mother is not here, so your marriage should not be hastily decided."

"Thank you, Lord, for your concern." Hearing that Marquis Xiyuan mentioned Mrs. Liang who had gone to immortality, Zhixuan suddenly felt a pang of depression in his chest.

"I intended to ask you to marry a daughter of the Dongliang Kingdom." Xi Yuanhou continued, "This girl is well-educated, beautiful and gentle, like your mother. I don't want you to decide on your own marriage. You can only let it go."

Xi Yuanhou mentioned Mrs. Liang again and again, Zhixuan's chest felt oppressed, and his depression gradually turned into anger.

With what Xi Yuanhou did in his early years, plus the precautions against him, how could he allow him to remarry with his mother clan.The reason why he said that was nothing more than trying to disturb his emotions, make him lose his composure and even make outrageous actions.

Zhi Xuan tightened his fingers a little bit, a cold light appeared in the bottom of his eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned up, drawing a colder arc.

Want him out of line?

Alright, just as Your Majesty wishes!

"Your Majesty's good intentions, Xuanxin accepts. An established marriage must be treated with sincerity, and there is absolutely no possibility of both ends. Besides," Zhixuan deliberately paused at this point, looked directly at Marquis Xiyuan, and said, "The Fengshui of Xiyuan Kingdom is probably I can't support Liang's daughter."

As soon as this statement came out, the stone was shocked.

Marquis Xiyuan was taken aback, pointed at Zhixuan, and was unable to make a sound for a long time.

The servants outside the hall were even more terrified, wishing that they were born without ears.

"Nizi!" Marquis Xiyuan suddenly stood up and roared at Zhixuan, "How dare you say such a thing!"

Zhi Xuan still sat upright, didn't even move his position, just raised his head, looked at Marquis Xi Yuan leisurely, and said, "Father should know better than me."

"Father" is really ironic.

Marquis Xiyuan was so furious that he was about to pull out the Wang Ci sword on the spot.

Zhi Xuan reminded: "Your Majesty, I paid tribute with the horn of the rhinoceros, and the King of Man bestowed the beautiful jade, which is now in Zhidi."

The tribute this time is no small matter, and the Marquis of Xiyuan is also on the tribute book.

Given the beautiful jade on the front foot, and hearing the father hurting the son with the sword given by the king on the back foot, what reaction will the middle school have? Do you think that Marquis Xiyuan is dissatisfied and thinks that the king's reward is unfair?

Although the world is divided, the kings of Zhongdu are not just for show, they also hold the three armies, and a single edict can summon the princes of the world.If he is disliked by the king, or even angered by the king, even the great princes guarding one side need to carefully weigh it.

What's more, when Zhixuan and Zhao Hao made a marriage contract, let alone killing him, even hurting him, the matter would not be settled easily.

"Your Majesty, you need to think twice." There was no trace of fear on Zhi Xuan's face, but a smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

Xi Yuanhou held the hilt of the sword in his hand, his face was ashen, and he was panting heavily.Considering the consequences, after all, he didn't draw his sword on the spot, but his expression was more stern.

"Rebel!"

Zhi Xuan looked at Xi Yuanhou, and said word by word: "Father should be happy, Xuan is also happy to be a rebellious son."

The deep meaning of these words is the real treason.

Strangely, Marquis Nishihara didn't get angry, but calmed down unreasonably.

Zhi Xuan was still calm, as if the tension just now didn't exist, and said in his mouth: "Father, Xuan will not change his mind, the marriage cannot be changed, why bother to try?"

Marquis Xiyuan looked at him coldly, finally put down Wang Cijian, and sat back behind the case.

"Very good, as expected of my son."

Zhi Xuan raised his eyebrows, wondering if the scumbag father was confused by his anger.It is unreasonable and unreasonable, so you start to put gold on your face?

But that's okay too.

Next, I hope that the scumbag will continue to maintain this mentality, and don't faint suddenly, so that it will be convenient for him to dig a few more corners with the shovel.

Thinking of this, Zhi Xuan smiled and looked at Xi Yuanhou with extremely sincere eyes.
