Chapter 304 Shen Yuanxu asks to marry Zhier!
When Emperor Renxiao ordered Shen Yuanxuan to come in, anyone with a discerning eye could tell what was going on.
The officials who secretly supported Zhou Ruyuan became anxious one by one.
Shen Yuanxu went to court holding the imperial edict, and no one dared to find fault with him. Even Emperor Renxiao immediately exempted himself from kowtow.
"Yuanxu, tell your uncle who has wronged you."
Shen Yuanxu was kneeling on the ground holding the imperial edict in his hand. The grown man who was approaching his thirties now acted like a little daughter-in-law, complaining aggrievedly.
"Uncle, I want to sue Prime Minister Zuo Wu Yanzhi."
Poor Wu Yanzhi went to the palace early today because Zhou Ruyuan returned to Beijing, and he didn't know anything about what happened at home. I was given a big hat.
Emperor Renxiao’s eyes flashed, and he looked much more pleasant than before.
“Tell me what’s going on.”
Shen Yuanxu: "Uncle, I feel wronged!"
Shen Lanxi looked at it with a smile, but she didn't expect that Shen Yuanxu, who was usually serious, acted like this.
“I went to the Wu family today to make an appointment, but it turned out that the Wu family didn’t take the imperial edict into consideration at all. They actually brought a bunch of concubines over and wanted them to pretend to be legitimate daughters and marry me. I, on the other hand, I would like to ask what Prime Minister Wu is worried about? Do you think our Majesty is too easy to deceive?”
Another big hat was put on Wu Yanzhi’s head, which made Wu Yanzhi confused.
Shen Yuanxu is going to propose marriage? Who asked him to propose marriage? He hasn't made arrangements yet for recording the concubine as his legitimate daughter?
Shen Yuanxu was dejected. If he hadn't been unable to cry, he would have shed tears by now.
"Uncle, you have to make the decision for me! I'm not saying that concubines are bad, I'm just angry at Prime Minister Wu's attitude. It's obviously the Wu family's fault, and the marriage is to compensate me. I didn't expect Wu The prime minister is not a good person, and he actually deceives his superiors and conceals them."
Wu Yanzhi was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
I usually see Shen Yuanxu being silent and honest, but I didn’t expect that he turned out to be a dog that doesn’t bark. It bites when it barks!
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged! When Old Chen opened the palace gate, he came to the palace and never went back. I don't know anything about the family affairs!"
Emperor Renxiao understood. The bottom line was that Shen Yuanxu was dissatisfied with Wu Yanzhi's use of a concubine to pretend to be a legitimate daughter, and felt that he had suffered a loss.
With this head in mind, I can only participate in the imperial examination.
"Wang Bao, go to the Prime Minister's house in person and find out what is going on."
"Yes." Wang Bao quickly led the guards away.
Emperor Renxiao naturally did not want to see the marriage between the Shen family and the Wu family. Without his intervention, Shen Yuanxu could make it work to his satisfaction. Today, something finally made him happy.
"Yuan Xu, I heard that Prime Minister Wu no longer has a legitimate daughter in his house. Would you like to consider this marriage again?"
He still appreciated Shen Yuanxu's remarks that every man was responsible for the country's difficulties. of.
Shen Yuanxu: "Why not, there is!"
Wu Yanzhi became angry: "My youngest daughter has been engaged and is discussing the wedding date. She will get married by the end of the year at the latest. I definitely won't I asked my younger daughter to break off the engagement and marry you. "
Shen Yuanxu laughed in amusement: "Prime Minister Wu, you must have forgotten that your little daughter is only a few months old, how can you marry her before the end of the year? You just don't want to compensate me. Resistance is disrespectful! ”
After a moment of silence, the whole court was in an uproar.
"I heard you correctly, right?"
"That's right, that's right, Shen Yuanxu's move is so powerful, it just sucks the fire out of the pot."
"Prime Minister Wu failed this time. I met my opponent.”
“Shen Yuanxu’s head was really kicked by a horse, and he wants to marry a child?”
"Isn't this how an old cow eats young grass? If he had gotten married a few years earlier, his granddaughter would have been as old as that child."
There were constant low-pitched discussions in the court.
Wu Yanzhi’s face was red, and his eyes were bloodshot. "Absurd, simply ridiculous, Shen Yuanxu, you are going too far!"
"Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me..."
Emperor Renxiao remained silent, allowing the chatter in the court to overwhelm the market, and did not say anything to stop him. It was not until Wang Bao ran back out of breath, telling the Wu family the cause and effect, that he sternly told the courtiers to be quiet.
“Wu Aiqing~” Emperor Renxiao looked at Wu Yanzhi with unclear meaning.
Wu Yan shuddered and had a bad feeling in his heart.
"This is your family matter, and I can't get too involved. You and Wang Bao go to the side hall and have a listen!"
Wu Yanzhi is very familiar with His Majesty, and after hearing him Saying this, my heart has sunk to the bottom.
No need to listen, he already knew His Majesty's decision.
But the cutscene still has to go. Thunder, rain and dew are all thanks to your kindness. The most important thing for him to get to this point is to be aware of current affairs.
"Old sir, thank you for your consideration."
Wu Yanzhi came back after a while.
After he came back, he knelt directly on the ground.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty. It is my fault that I failed to control my family members and allowed them to act arbitrarily. It was my fault that I failed to observe."
Emperor Renxiao sighed: "Every family has difficult scriptures to recite. You have to be busy every day. If I don't take care of the affairs of the court, there will inevitably be oversights. I am not unkind. "
Wu Yanzhi is heartbroken.
"Thank you for your forgiveness!"
Emperor Renxiao faced Shen Yuanxu: "Yuanxu, this is a misunderstanding. I allow you to think again about asking to marry the legitimate daughter of the Shen family. One or two.”
Shen Yuanxu seemed to be speaking angrily, and said angrily: "Uncle, the Wu family has treated me like this, I can't swallow this breath. I just ask to marry the Wu family's legitimate daughter, no matter whether the Wu family's legitimate daughter is eighty, eighteen or whatever. Months later, I will marry her as long as she is my legitimate daughter."
Emperor Renxiao: "..." Although the result is good, it is not justified in terms of ethics!
This Shen Yuanxu is tall and tall, but very small in spirit. Wu Yanzhi's daughter cuckolded him, but he turned around and asked Wu Yanzhi to lose his daughter.
On the one hand, he is an old minister, and on the other hand, he has already spoken. It is difficult to handle!
"Your Majesty, I support Shen Yuanxu's request to marry the legitimate daughter of the Wu family!" Shen Lanxi stood up and asked for orders with a smile.
Wei Dongzhu: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Wu owes Shen Yuanxu a debt. The engagement is compensation, and the Prime Minister also agreed to it before."
Zhou Ruyuan frowned and glanced at Shen Lanxi and Wei Dongzhu.
Emperor Renxiao was silent, and the courtiers did not dare to speak out.
Wu Yanzhi closed his eyes resignedly, and when he opened them again, he had already made a decision.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to fulfill the imperial edict, but I have a request."
Emperor Renxiao raised his eyelids: "But it doesn't matter."
Wu Yanzhi's eyes flashed with cruelty and calculation: "Since Shen Yuanxu sincerely proposes to marry, the old minister's request is to get married as soon as possible."
Chao Everyone in the hall: "..."
Shen Yuanxu is crazy, Wu Yanzhi is even crazier!
These two people deserve to be Weng’s son-in-law.
After Wu Yanzhi finished speaking, he quickly continued: "I implore your majesty to accept my request for the sake of my many years of dedication to the great Zhou Dynasty."
This is obviously a gratifying trend, but Emperor Renxiao was stunned. Some cannot go up or come down.
