I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 393 I decide your daughter’s marriage

Seeing the figures of Jin Xin and his group gradually disappearing, Jing Yuan turned around weakly and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard someone shouting in the distance:
"Hey, don't leave, wait a minute!" The voice was sharp and round, with an indescribable familiarity to it.

When Jing Yuan looked up, he saw three people coming from a distance in the direction of Nan Sima Gate.

The man in the middle is a tall man, wearing a black robe and a high crown, wearing a ceremonial sword at his waist. His steps are steady and steady. He is none other than the Great Sima General Huo Xuanhuo, who is worth less than ten thousand people.

To his left was a man in indigo robes. He was about thirty years old. His face was a little rough, but his expression was very determined.

Jing Yuan recognized him at just one glance. This was Master Huo's legitimate son Huo Yu. He had just been pardoned and returned to the capital. He must have just been summoned by His Majesty. He didn't know what official position he had been awarded.

As for the person on Huo Xuan's left hand, he is wearing a dark blue robe embroidered with sea water and river cliff patterns, wearing a gauze Jinxian crown on his head, and has a white-faced smile, but it is the new eunuch Ling Jiaozuo Jiaoling. Prison.

The voice just now was indeed very similar to Jiao Lingjian's, but there were people coming and going in front of Sima Gate, and there were several who stayed when they heard the call. They looked at each other and quickly arranged their appearance in order to leave a good impression on Huo Xuan and Jiao Lingjian.

Jing Yuan dusted off the almost unnoticeable dust on his body and stood solemnly on the ground with his hands clasped, his head half lowered submissively. Until the three of them came closer, they passed him without stopping.

You know that these people at the top of power cannot have such a small person like themselves in their eyes. Jing Yuan suppressed the disappointment in his heart and slowly straightened up.

"Your Majesty has so much faith and favor for the Huo family. Even if I and the dog are torn to pieces, they will not be able to repay His Majesty's deep kindness."

"Thank you Jiao Lingjian, please come back." Huo Yu replied on behalf of his father.

"In this case, I will respectfully send you off to Grand Sima and General Zhonglang." He bowed.

Jiao Lingjian was a man who had an eye for all directions and an ear for all directions. He noticed Jing Yuan's obvious suspicion immediately.

Jing Yuan could hear clearly from behind, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that His Majesty truly trusted the Huo family.

The Changling Order before Huo Yu was convicted was an official worth two thousand dan, but this time it was an actual two thousand dan, which was an improvement over the previous one.

By the way, I heard that Master Xiao Huo is already over 10 years old, but he still has no heirs.
The charcoal fire that had just been cooled suddenly reignited again. Jing Yuan raised his head and secretly glanced at Jiao Lingjian and the Huo family father and son who were still going back and forth with each other, and suddenly felt his heart beating very fast.

Xijing Cheng is the deputy of Xijing Ling. Although he is only an official with a thousand stones, everyone knows that the current Xijing Ling is old and has always followed Huo Xuan's lead. As long as Huo Yu has been familiar with him for three to five months, he will be able to handle official duties. With the help of him, he could turn around and complain of illness, so it was natural for Huo Yu to take over as the Xijing Order.

"Da Sima, Lord Xiao Huo, this old slave was sent here according to His Majesty's order." Jiao Zuo said, then turned to Huo Yu and said: "The order will be issued later, Lord Xiao Huo will be the Prime Minister of Xijing, and this old slave is here , congratulations to you first.”

But it's no use just getting excited in his heart about this kind of thing. With the Huo family's current status, even if he took the initiative to offer something, they might not be able to take it.

Huo Yu cupped his hands and said nothing. Although Huo Xuan was usually polite to eunuchs, he was quite polite to the eunuch who served the emperor and commanded thousands of internal officials in the palace:

Not only must you not offend, but you must also do everything you can to flatter her and please her.

Officials with two thousand stone worth in their early thirties are extremely rare in the history of Henan Province, and their future is extremely limited. Jing Yuan naturally understood what attitude he should have towards the Huo family in the future.

Jing Yuan hadn't decided whether to come forward and recommend himself now, or to rely on other connections to figure it out slowly, so he hesitated a little. In just such a moment of hesitation, Jiao Zuo quickly came to him.

"Yetingcheng." His voice was not low enough for the Huo family and his son who had not yet left to hear clearly.

"Your Majesty has a decree, please kneel down and listen." Jing Yuan was startled. An internal official of his level is not even qualified to meet His Majesty. How could he suddenly receive His Majesty's oral instructions?

Could it be that the matter with the palace maid Jin'er is not over yet, and your majesty still wants to humiliate yourself?

However, the transmission of oral instructions has always been the responsibility of junior eunuchs, and it is rare that the eunuchs are able to do the work themselves.
When Jing Yuan knelt down, his mind was in a mess, and he had long ago thrown the dark thoughts outside the Nantian Gate.

He heard himself say: "Your Majesty, Jingyuan, respectfully listen to the edict."

Jiao Lingjian's eyes drifted over his head and he said quietly: "I have my own arrangements for your eldest daughter's marriage, so you don't need to bother to ask about it."

Jing Yuan had no idea that the oral edict specially assigned by His Majesty Jiao Lingjian to deliver it would have such content, and he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

"Master Jing," Jiao Zuo reminded him, "You still don't want to thank me?"

Jing Yuan said almost mechanically: "I will obey the imperial edict."

"Get up." A smile appeared on Jiao Zuo's face, and he stepped forward to give him a weak hand: "Master Jing gave birth to a good daughter!"

Jing Yuan stood up and asked in confusion: "Jiao Lingjian, I don't understand."

He groaned and wanted to ask His Majesty what he meant, but he couldn't say it.

Jiao Zuo didn't even think about explaining, he just said calmly: "You don't need to understand."

"But I finally found my beloved daughter with great difficulty." Jing Yuan frowned and said, "At that time, I vowed to find a good family for her."

Jiaozuo has read countless people, how can you not see the other person's little thoughts?

His face instantly turned cold: "If the good family that Mr. Jing refers to is sent on a pole to be a concubine for a paralytic, then Mrs. Jing might as well have never recognized her ancestors and returned to the clan."

"Jiao Lingjian misunderstood me." Jing Yuan wanted to find a reason to defend himself, but his brain was really dull and he couldn't find it for a while, so he could only think about it and said: "Can Jiao Lingjian let out some information? Your Majesty is How do you want to arrange your little girl? Could it be..." He suddenly thought of a possibility, took a deep breath, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

Jiao Zuo had previously saved the young master several times because of Jing Yuan's mistakes, so he had some affection for him, but now he was really bored.

"Master Jing, there is no need to think too much, just obey the order." He dropped these words and immediately turned around and left. He only felt that if he stayed for a moment longer, he would be stained by Jing Yuan's sticky smell.

Jing Yuan didn't hear what he wanted, but the other party didn't deny it either. He felt a little warm in his heart. He stopped looking at the Huo family and his son who were still standing in front of Sima Gate and walked back to Yeting briskly.

Your Majesty must have heard someone mention Yin Yin’s appearance? This is really a great thing. Although your Majesty is young, he is still a man, so how can he refuse a beauty?

Although Yin Yin is a few years older than him, it doesn't matter. After getting married, although it is impossible to be a queen, a wife cannot run away. If she is lucky enough to give birth to a prince, then she might even get the title of Marquis of Chengen - just thinking about it is beautiful. Panic.

"Let's go." Huo Xuan glanced at his son who remained calm, and knew that he still didn't know. Madam Jing, whom Jiao Lingjian mentioned just now, was the one who had been entangled with him before, and he sighed slightly in his heart. tone.

"That Mrs. Luo from before - don't worry about her anymore." He said, and then he saw his son-in-law, who had become calmer after being exiled, suddenly raised his head, his eyes glaring.
