Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 14: Meeting Emperor Qingyong and asking for marriage (please recommend and collect)
After leaving Wang Xifeng's boudoir, Su Ran thought for a while and then went to the first place, which was Shuntian Mansion Office.

Feng Bingyuan, an old man, was a veteran of the two dynasties, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a tree with deep roots.

Although the people Lu Yang sent over just now were taken care of by him, but there is no guarantee that the old guy Feng Bingyuan will have a backup.

Therefore, before officially marrying Wang Xifeng back to the family, the safety of the Wang family must be guaranteed.

At this time, the only person who can provide help to him is probably Shuntian Prefecture Yin Zhao Wenyuan.

At this moment, Su Ran even regretted a little. If he had brought back all the more than 100 brothers from Northern Xinjiang, there would not have been a shortage of manpower at this time.

However, the matter has come to this, and the matter of bringing back the remaining brothers can only be discussed after some time.

When Su Ran found Shuntian Prefecture Yin Zhao Wenyuan, he was very surprised. After all, he had already agreed to go to the Xiaoqi Camp before, so why did he come back less than a day later.

After telling Zhao Wenyuan the whole story, this guy was very loyal and agreed to send people to guard the Wang family without saying anything.

After Wang Xifeng's safety was guaranteed in a short period of time, Su Ran had no worries for the time being, and directly led a fast horse from the government office to the palace.

At this time, Emperor Qingyong should still be attending the morning court, and Su Ran wanted this kind of opportunity.

According to the rules of the Daqing Dynasty, officials below the third rank were not eligible to participate in the morning dynasty.

However, Su Ran didn't care about this. Since he entered the palace gate, he basically didn't walk on the ground. After a lot of walking up and down, it didn't take long to reach the Jinluan Hall where he went to the morning court.

Of course, the palace is a palace after all, and the guards are relatively tight. During this period, it was also discovered by a very small number of masters. When Su Ran came outside the Jinluan Palace, there were already several masters behind him.

However, these masters holding various weapons were panting and beating their chests. It was obvious that they had not performed such a high-intensity exercise for a long time.

Su Ran ignored them and casually said hello to the eunuch on duty standing at the gate of the palace. He rushed into the main hall regardless of whether the other party responded.

Emperor Qingyong was going to court, and Su Ran's appearance made everyone confused.

Emperor Qingyong was okay, just a little surprised, but Feng Bingyuan, the left prime minister who was the chief minister of the Daqing Dynasty, quit immediately after seeing Su.

"Su Ran, you are just a fourth-grade official, what are you doing here at the Jinluan Palace? Don't you understand the rules of not being allowed to enter the court without obeying the imperial edict?"

Seeing this, Su Ran glared at him, then stepped forward and started to complain to Emperor Qingyong.

"Your Majesty, I have no choice but to enter the court without an imperial edict. I hope your Majesty will forgive me. All this is due to Prime Minister Feng's two good grandsons."

When Emperor Qingyong heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly: "Su Ran, don't be rude. Prime Minister Feng is a veteran of the two dynasties. You can't talk about such things without evidence." Having said that, in fact, Emperor Qingyong's He already guessed what Su Ran wanted to say.

Su Ran didn't hide it either. In front of the ministers, he told everything about how Lu Biao raped women on the street, and then how his brother Lu Yang sent assassins to infiltrate the Wang family.

When the ministers in the previous court heard such an unbelievable thing, the expressions on their faces were all wonderful.

When the officials were discussing, Lu Chan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, had no choice but to stand up.

"Your Majesty, Su Ran is spitting blood. He was obviously the one who beat up the dog Lu Biao. Biao'er is still unconscious now, but he came to complain first. I ask your Majesty to investigate clearly."

When Su Ran heard this, he became furious and immediately pointed at Lu Chan's nose and cursed.

"Well, Lu Chan, you just pretended that you were an important member of the court, so you acted recklessly in the street. I was not the only one present at what happened yesterday. There were so many people who were witnesses, and there were also official officials from Shuntian Prefecture. How could it be difficult? Don't you still have the nerve to confuse right and wrong? Also, just now, your good son Lu Yang secretly mobilized the troops of the Xiaoqi Battalion to go to the Wang family on Changning Street to murder people and silence them. I happened to find out the clues and stopped him in time. The people of Shuntian Mansion We’ve already rushed to the Wang family, so what’s the explanation? Could it be that you want to say that I saved the girl and then sent someone to kill her?!”

Speaking of this, all the ministers in the Jinluan Hall were shocked. They probably never thought that the majestic Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment would make their two sons so unbearable.

While all the officials who were eating melons were discussing, Emperor Qingyong finally spoke.

"I have heard about this matter before, but I didn't pay much attention to it, because I believe that with your wisdom and ability, Lu Chan, you can handle this matter well." At this point, Emperor Qingyong paused on purpose After a pause, a pair of dragon eyes glanced around the ministers, "However, what happened this morning really disappointed me."

When Emperor Qingyong said this, he basically set the tone for this matter, which made Lu Chan fall to his knees in fright. "I don't know how to teach my son well. Everything is my responsibility. I hope that Your Majesty will take a lenient sentence for the sake of my loyalty."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qingyong turned his attention to Left Prime Minister Feng Bingyuan: "Prime Minister Feng, tell me what to do about this matter."

Feng Bingyuan originally wanted to ignore the matter as it had nothing to do with him, but now that Emperor Qingyong had spoken, he had no choice but to express his opinion.

He coughed lightly and said with a smile on his face: "If Su Ran hadn't just gone to the palace, the veteran would not have known about this matter. The emperor also knew that the veteran, except for attending the morning court, basically did nothing. I won’t leave the house, so I think it’s better for the Emperor to decide this matter.”

When Emperor Qingyong heard this, he couldn't help but cursed the old fox in his heart, and he picked it off without knowing a word.

However, he also knew that it was not time to touch Feng Bingyuan yet, so he could only start from his periphery.

Since Lu Chan wants to take care of everything, let's start with him.

However, perhaps to avoid being too obvious, Emperor Qingyong did not pay attention to Lu Chan first, but looked at Su Ran: "Which Wang family did you just talk about? Changning Street?"

Su Ran nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, that's where I just came from. It should be called Changning Street."

When Emperor Qingyong heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly, his eyes flashed and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a moment of silence, he spoke again: "Do you know the name of the Wang family girl?"

Su Ran was originally here to ask the emperor to grant a marriage. When she heard him take the initiative to mention her future wife, she immediately said: "Reporting to your majesty, as far as I know, the girl's name is Wang Xifeng. There is actually someone who dared to break into the palace today." I want to ask the Emperor for something."

When Emperor Qingyong heard this, he couldn't help but become interested: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"I dare to ask the emperor to grant a marriage between me and that young lady of the Wang family." Su Ran directly stated his request in front of the civil and military officials of the court.

When Emperor Qingyong saw this, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Well, Su Ran, you've just met this girl twice, and you're going to marry her? Are you a little too quick? Don't you think about it anymore?"

Seeing this, Su Ran looked at Emperor Qingyong and said, "I fell in love with that young lady from the Wang family at first sight, and I hope your majesty will make it happen."

Just when Su Ran thought that this matter was basically a matter of course, suddenly there was a cold snort from behind, and then a gray-bearded old official stepped out.

"Your Majesty, Fan Jinzhong, the Minister of Household Affairs, has something to say."

Emperor Qingyong was stunned for a moment, then nodded to him: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Fan Jinzhong smoothed his gray beard and said calmly and confidently: "As far as I know, the only people with the surname Wang in Changning Street are the family members of Lord Teng, the Prince of Jiubian Patrol. The girl Su Ran said he wanted to marry just now, If I guess correctly, it should be Mr. Wang’s niece. How can he have the final say on such important matters as marriage? At least Mr. Wang must agree to it, right?”

As soon as this statement came out, the officials started gossiping again.

When Emperor Qingyong heard these words, the doubts that had been lingering in his heart suddenly became clear.

"I'm just telling you. I also remember that Changning Street seems to be where Zi Teng lives. I wasn't sure just now, so I didn't say anything. After you reminded me, that's indeed what happened."

However, at this point, Emperor Qingyong suddenly turned his attention to Su Ran, and the conversation suddenly changed: "However, Mr. Fan, what you said is wrong. The matter between Su Ran and Zi Teng's niece is a hero saving a beauty. It was love at first sight unintentionally. Since he came to ask me for marriage, I am sure this girl from the Wang family will agree. As for Zi Teng, I think he will not object, what do you think?"

"This..." Fan Jinzhong obviously didn't expect that the emperor would suddenly make another decision, so he could only go along with the situation and slap the rainbow fart, "Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise."

With him taking the lead, other ministers and ministers could only follow suit and express their opinions. For a time, the words "Your Majesty's Holy Ming" were heard endlessly, making it seem as if Emperor Qingyong could not do anything without granting him a marriage.
