Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 648 The old man also used this as an excuse to try to argue (one more)
"Officer, what do you mean by this official?"

Wu Zhizhong looked at the emperor of Song Dynasty who was smiling so terribly, his mind was buzzing non-stop.

The official Zhao Ji's complexion was complete, and he was very emotional.

"I like Xiao Gao very much. Although he and I are masters and apprentices, we love each other like father and son."

"My beloved daughter, Empress Maode, also loves Xiao Gao very much. It's a pity..."

"I hope that Xiao Gao can become the Chancellor of our Great Song Dynasty, but our Great Song Dynasty has its own rules and regulations. It is impossible for a son-in-law, let alone Zaifu."

"However, Xiao Gao was here that day, and the agreement with Wu Aiqing was for my inspiration."

"inspiration?"

The corner of Wu Zhizhong's mouth twitched, and he had a vague feeling that the officials' brains had grown crooked, why they were thinking about crooked ways all day long.

"That's right, if Empress Maode is not my daughter, then naturally there won't be any problem in marrying Xiao Gao.

Xiao Gao Ruogong was promoted to Zaifu, which made people speechless. "

"Official, please wait a moment, you mean that you want Her Highness Diji..."

Wu Zhizhong hesitated to speak further, but the official Zhao Ji nodded.

"Exactly, I intend to adopt Emperor Maode Ji to Wu Lao Aiqing as your stepdaughter, so that she can marry Gao Zhang again."

"Among the courtiers, the children form a good relationship between Qin and Jin, and a white-headed agreement. Can all the ministers still interfere?"

Speaking of this, the official Zhao Ji couldn't help but burst out laughing triumphantly.

Wu Zhizhong's old face darkened, as if he saw Zhao Ji, an official, smilingly picked up a smoky black pot, and directly stuck it on his forehead.

What's going on with this horse riding, Wu Zhizhong really wanted to spit at Xingzi, and then sternly shouted: Hunjun, can you be more serious?
After laughing complacently, Zhao Ji, the official, turned his head and saw Wu Zhizhong's mud-bodied and woodcarved appearance, he laughed aloud.

"Old Aiqing Wu, is my idea a good idea?"

"Miaoyou... cough cough... Please think about it, the official family, the official family. Since ancient times, there has never been a precedent for the son of heaven to adopt a child to a courtier."

"If the official family breaks the rules like this, they will definitely be criticized by the people of the world. In order to maintain the prestige of the Tian family, I dare not obey the imperial edict."

"Well... that's true, but if Maode is not my daughter..."

Seeing the officials staring at him with burning eyes, Wu Zhizhong could only bite the bullet and express.

If it wasn't for a noble girl like the princess, I would naturally be willing to adopt a virtuous and virtuous woman with good moral character, and make a good match with that Xiao Gao.

"Okay, since Mr. Wu Aiqing has this concern, then I have my own way."

"Ah, this..."

#####
Wu Zhizhong didn't know how he left the palace, he got into the carriage in a daze, and sat in the carriage blankly.

Even his personal attendants kept calling for a long time, but forgot to answer, and finally Wu Zhizhong reluctantly ordered him to return home.

He also asked his close friends to invite his close friend Chen Shilang to come quickly, and then he put himself in the carriage, lying there like a salted fish, not even willing to turn over.

"Shang Shu, Shang Shu... what's wrong with you, after entering the palace, your face became so ugly, could it be that the officials are embarrassing for Shang Shu?"

Chen Shilang stepped into the house, and saw Wu Zhizhong sitting there limply, looking out of his mind, he couldn't help asking in great surprise.

Hearing Chen Shilang's words of concern, Wu Zhizhong raised his head and forced a smile.

"The official is going to marry a daughter..."

"...The official family is going to marry a daughter. This, this is not a big deal. Could it be that there is something wrong here?"

"The officials are going to marry Emperor Maode to that kid Gao Guizhang."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Shilang was terrified and shook his head repeatedly.

"What?! This, how is this possible? Didn't the officials always insist on paving the way for Gao Zhang to be the prime minister? Why do you want to marry a daughter with him in the blink of an eye?"

"In this way, wouldn't my Da Song want to lose a great prime minister?"

"My dear brother, don't get excited, let the old man speak carefully. The officials also know that if he marries the princess to the number one scholar Xiao Gao, he will lose a great chancellor in Song Dynasty, so..."

Speaking of this, Wu Zhizhong's face was full of pain and he didn't know how to continue.

"So what are you talking about..." Chen Shilang couldn't help urging.

"So, in order to prevent Xiao Gao Zhuangyuan from losing the possibility of becoming the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, the officials decided to let Empress Maode recognize me as stepfather."

"Gah..." Chen Shilang pointed at Wu Zhizhong with a messy expression on his face, unable to hold back a fart for a long time.

At this moment, his mind was as if he had just been kicked by a passing donkey, and his thinking had stagnated.

#####
After drinking a large cup of herbal tea, Chen Shilang finally regained his senses gradually.

"That is to say, the official family wanted to marry their daughter to Zhuangyuan Xiaogao, but they were worried that the courtiers would not tolerate it and cut off Zhuangyuan Xiaogao's career.

So I came up with such a crazy idea, decided to adopt Emperor Maode to you, my lord? "

Hearing Chen Shilang's analysis and complaints with obvious strong resentment, Wu Zhizhong wiped his face helplessly, nodded heavily, and admitted that the other party's analysis was correct.

"Actually, the old man is not happy. After all, she is an imperial concubine. Since ancient times, there is no reason for an emperor to adopt his children to his courtiers?"

"The old man also used this as an excuse to try to quibble, ah no... trying to persuade the officials to calm down and not to consider such unrealistic methods. But the result..."

#####
"What's the result?"

"As a result, after listening to the old man's words, the officials pondered for a long time, and then asked the old man, if the Empress Maude is no longer a member of the royal family, would the old man be willing to accept her as a stepdaughter?"

Hearing Wu Zhizhong's words, Chen Shilang was amused directly and shook his head repeatedly.

"how can that be?"

"That's right, the old man told the officials the same way."

Wu Zhizhong let out a long and painful sigh before speaking again.

"The official only said, let the old man wait for the good news. In short, he must have a way to adopt the Maode Emperor Ji to the old man."

"...Why does it have to be you, my lord?" Chen Shilang asked back with a puzzled face.

Wu Zhizhong's face darkened, and he recalled the famous scene when the little bastard Gao Zhuangyuan proudly provoked him.

"Because that kid Gao Guizhang joked with the old man that day, saying that the old man will grow stronger and stronger, and if the old man has another daughter, he is willing to form a friendship with the old man between Qin and Jin."

"And it just so happens that the official is at the side and heard the joke between the old man and this kid."

"...There are still such things."

Chen Shilang blinked and looked at Mr. Wu who was in complicated mood.

I don't even know whether I should comfort the other party or respect the other party.
