Chapter 46
Emperor Yuan Jia was jealous of the Shen family, and wished that the crown prince would marry a concubine who had no power, no power, and no foundation. Moreover, the crown prince's action offended the Shen family, which would inevitably lead to a fight between the Shen family and the crown prince.

The candidate for the crown prince in his mind is actually the son of his beloved, King Liang who is far away in Luoyang.

"My son is willing to share the worries of my father, my son is willing to personally investigate the case of exchanging death row prisoners, and give my father a satisfactory explanation."

Emperor Yuan Jia was not satisfied with Wei Xuan. He was brought up by Empress Shen's side since he was a child, and he was the nominal son of Empress Shen. Although he was raised as a prince since childhood, he became a marionette for Empress Shen and the Shen family. , covering up and helping the Shen family everywhere, suppressing courtiers, and eliminating dissidents in the palace.

But if the crown prince can come forward to confront the Shen family, he can also sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, waiting for the Shen family and the crown prince to lose both sides in the fight.

"If you marry the daughter of a little general, it will not help you. On the contrary, it will offend the Shen family and the queen. You were supported by the queen to ascend to the crown prince. Pull down from the high position of the prince. Have you thought about it clearly?"

Wei Xuan had a smile on his face and firm eyes, "My son has already made a decision."

Confronting the Shen family is the way he has to go, and only after he overthrows the Shen family can he completely hold the power in his own hands, instead of obeying Queen Shen in everything like he is now. Under her control, this is also a tough battle he has to fight in secret and has been preparing for many years.

And only by winning this battle can he be strong enough to hold power firmly in his own hands.

Whether he marries Jiuzhu or not, this is the path he must take.

Emperor Yuan Jia patted him on the shoulder, gave him an encouraging smile and said, "Don't worry, Father will also help you, but the Shen family's roots are deep and intertwined in the imperial court, so don't be too impatient, you must know how to weigh and balance." Use. Do you understand?"

Wei Xuan nodded and said, "I thank you, Father."

His father had always been indifferent to him. When he was a child, he grew up beside Cao Guiren. Later, he was selected into the Fengyi Palace and raised by the Queen's side. Emperor Yuan Jia rarely came to see him.

Emperor Yuan Jia never liked Empress Shen, so he also disliked him by the way. Seeing Emperor Yuan Jia's loving eyes today, he felt a little moved in his heart, even if it was just an encouraging look and words, he could only wish for it.

"Although you are a prince, you are also a man. A man should have responsibilities and responsibilities. Since you have taken the Qi family's wife's innocence, you should be responsible to her. The emperor will agree to your marriage and give you a marriage."

If something happened to the Shen family, the emperor's fear of the Shen family must be more than before. Wei Xuan knew that Emperor Yuanjia would agree to his marriage with Jiu Zhu, but their marriage could not be delayed any longer. Although the Shen family was hurt this time, But if the Shen family recovers, they will definitely try their best to stop this marriage.

"Father, my son wants to get married in three days."

"Nonsense! The prince's wedding is a national affair. Qin Tian needs to monitor the auspicious time and day, and then complete it step by step according to the ritual arrangement of the Ministry of Rites. You also need to sacrifice to the ancestral temple and pray to heaven. It is according to the three books and six rituals of the people, at least It will take half a month."

"Father, although the Shen family has too much to take care of themselves, this is the only chance for the son and minister. The lady of the Qi family understands righteousness and is considerate. She will definitely not care about these vain rituals. I am already satisfied if I can marry the wife of the Qi family. I don't even care, I beg my father to help me!"

Emperor Yuan Jia thought for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.

Now that he and the crown prince have already reached a deal, he made a decree to bestow a marriage, and the crown prince also stepped forward to deal with the Shen family on his behalf. After thinking about it carefully, the current situation is indeed as the crown prince said. The Shen family has lost its vitality, but it The foundation of the family is still there, if the iron is not struck while it is hot, the Shen family will usher in an even more fierce counterattack.

This is the best time to deal with this big case of prisoner exchange and tidy up the Shen family. He should also explain to those courtiers who are loyal to him those piles of papers on his desk.

"You need to be more careful when dealing with the Shen family this time."

Wei Xuan was even more moved, "I understand, thank you, Father!"

When he walked out of the imperial study, Wei Xuan finally showed a comfortable smile.

He rushed to the East Palace non-stop, some links can be saved, some can't be saved, he promised Qi Jiuzhu's ten miles of red makeup, and he will definitely do it.

When he returned to the East Palace, he said to the palace people beside him: "Go and call Xie An!"

And Xie An, who was beaten with sixty slaps and lay on the bed for half a month, was fined to stand guard outside the gate of the East Palace for a whole ten days. Xie An was finally transferred back to the East Palace a few days ago.

He knelt in front of the prince, wept coldly with gratitude, and prostrated himself on the ground, "Thank you, Your Highness, for giving this subordinate another chance!"

Wei Xuan pressed it on his thumb subconsciously, but found that the jade wrench on his thumb had already been given to Qi Jiuzhu, so he told Xie An: "I will give you another chance, this time you do two more things, and everything will come true." Afterwards, you can resume your post and stay by Gu's side."

"This subordinate must work hard to complete it, and will never let His Highness down again."

Wei Xuanlan raised his eyes, and said unhurriedly: "The first thing is to go to Lu's house, and always pay attention to Lu Mingtan's every move. No matter what he does, he must never hide anything, and report it immediately."

With the lesson from last time, how dare Xie An hide anything from the crown prince. Brother Cui finally begged His Highness for the opportunity to return to the East Palace this time, so he must seize it.

And His Highness also said that there are only three things, if he messes up again, let him guard the city gate.

As the head of the guards of the Eastern Palace, he went to guard the city gate, wouldn't he make his brothers laugh out loud?
Then he spent all these years by the prince's side in vain.

"Your subordinates must not leave the Lu residence day and night, and must watch over Lu Mingtan for His Highness."

No matter how stupid Lu Mingtan is, he should understand after learning that Qi Jiuzhu and him are going to get married, and he heard that Lu Mingtan's outer room has had his legs broken, and the child in his stomach is gone. The princess's methods are vicious, and Lu Mingtan will definitely blame him for this.

And Lu Mingtan was also moved by Jiuzhu.

And because of Gu Yan's matter, Qi Jiuzhu still has feelings for him. If Lu Mingtan interferes at this time, Jiuzhu's misunderstanding of him will be even deeper.

"It doesn't have to be an inch away."

As for Lu Mingtan, he didn't take it seriously either, he had no chance for a long time.

"By the way, there is one more thing, you go find a good piece of white jade."

He and Jiuzhu are about to get married, and he has already planned a big wedding for her.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Chen Yao was carrying a bucket to pour the slops, when she saw the eunuch Xuanzhi coming to the Qi family to pass the decree from a distance, she guessed that it should be the imperial decree that Qi Jiuzhu had offended King Yu, and the emperor condemned the Qi family, so she then Standing under a tree and listening to it.

Qi Shang came with Qi Jiuzhu brothers and sisters, knelt down to accept the order, the eunuch who announced the order smiled and said to Qi Shang: "General Qi is really lucky, he has raised a good daughter."

Qi Shang looked at Qi Jiuzhu, Qi Jiuzhu has been in Yangui Courtyard since he came back yesterday, and has never mentioned to anyone that the crown prince wants to marry her as a concubine. Qi Shang didn't understand what the eunuch meant, so he asked in a low voice: "I don't know what the eunuch is?" What do you mean?"

The prince smiled mysteriously, unfolded the imperial decree of bright yellow silk and satin in his hand, and read aloud: "Qi Jiuzhu, the daughter of Qi's parents, is dignified in virtue, dignified in appearance, dignified in appearance, wise in appearance and beautiful in mind. Marry Qi's parents and daughters to the crown prince as a concubine. All wedding ceremonies will be handled by the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian, and we will choose a good day to get married, hereby!"
