Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 91 Death Penalty

When Xu Ming arrived at the courtyard, except for the officials, all the common people in the courtyard knelt down to welcome his order.

Wei Xun, who was standing at the front, saw Xu Ming coming and laughed, "Top Scholar, please accept the order."

Looking at Xu Ming, Wei Xun at this time clearly had some respect and flattery in his eyes.

If Wei Xun had only been watching from the sidelines regarding Xu Ming before.

Now Wei Xun has completely stood on Xu Ming's side.

After all, that person's future son will be his future master.

Of course, if I can live to that time.

"Ming accepts the order." Xu Ming walked forward and bowed.

Wei Xun nodded with satisfaction, cleared his throat, spread out the golden imperial edict, and his duck-like voice spread throughout the courtyard -

[Order of the Holy Emperor.]

I have heard that between heaven and earth, yin and yang match each other, and men and women are suitable for each other. This is the way of greatness.

Today I have my beloved daughter, Princess Zhaowen, who is now of marriageable age. She has a good character, is both talented and beautiful, and is virtuous. She is truly my pride.

I also heard that Xu Ming of the Xu Mansion is outstanding in talent and learning, has both moral integrity and ability, is proficient in both civil and military affairs, and his poetic talent is famous throughout the world.

I obtained Ming's birth date and sent it to Tianji City together with Princess Zhaowen's birth date.

According to divination by the Lord of Tianji City, Xu Ming and Princess Zhaowen are a match made in heaven.

I am deeply pleased and wish to make this auspicious marriage a reality in order to demonstrate my benevolence and strengthen the foundation of my country.

Therefore, I hereby decree to grant marriage between Xu Ming of the Xu family and my beloved daughter Wu Yanhan. I wish the two of them to be united in marriage, grow old together, have many children and grandchildren, and a prosperous family. 】

When Wei Xun's words fell.

Everyone was looking at Xu Ming, their eyes filled with envy.

If Xu Ming became the royal consort, and His Majesty had only this one daughter, the grandson born in the future would, if nothing unexpected happened, definitely be the ruler of the Wu State.

By then, Xu Ming's status will be so high that it will be hard to imagine. It would not be enough to say that he is "second only to one person and above ten thousand people."

However, it was expected by most people that Xu Ming would become the royal consort.

After all, in Wudu, there had long been rumors that Xu Ming would become the royal consort.

But when this thing really happened, it was still very emotional.

Xu Shuiya, Xu Zheng, Qin Ruhai and others were very excited.

coming!

The imperial edict has finally arrived!
They had long heard that His Majesty intended to marry Her Royal Highness the Princess to Xu Ming. After all, Her Royal Highness the Princess was not young anymore and she didn't even have a king. How could His Majesty not be anxious?
When Xu Ming became the son-in-law of the emperor, even Xu Ming's child became the king.

I can’t even imagine how high the status of the two governments of Xu and Qin must be!
The two concubines of the Xu family also looked at Chen Suya with envy.

This Chen Suya really gave birth to a good son.

But they also hope that Xu Ming will become the prince consort.

After Xu Ming becomes the prince consort, the Xu family might be able to have a few more titles.

However, some far-sighted people such as Wang Feng, Mrs. Qin and Zhao Wenshan were worried about the governments of Xu and Qin.

Do these people really think that Your Majesty is a fool and a kind-hearted person?

Your Majesty will not allow the Xu and Qin families to move forward one step further.

Judging from the nature of most of the disciples in the Xu and Qin mansions, to put it mildly, the Xu and Qin mansions have brought shame to the royal family of the Wu State.

To put it more seriously, the disciples of the Xu and Qin mansions are too dissolute and might even bring disaster to the court.

After the imperial edict comes down, before Xu Ming and the princess get married, the Xu and Qin states will definitely be liquidated!

Now, all they can pray is that His Majesty will take their old friendship into consideration, lower their titles, and simply break up the Xu and Qin families instead of killing them all.

the other side.

As Xu Ming's mother, Chen Suya did not seem that happy that her son was about to become a royal consort and hold a high position in the government.

Chen Suya looked at Xu Ming calmly, with worry in her eyes. To be the consort of a princess, and the consort of the only princess of Wu State, and the child of the future princess will be the ruler of Wu State, no one can match this status.

But everything has two sides.

If Xu Ming becomes the prince consort, he will be a member of the royal family, and it is not easy to be a member of the royal family.

Instead of this, Chen Suya would rather Xu Ming marry an ordinary girl and live a simple life.

But the imperial edict has already come down, and Ming'er has no choice.

If you do not accept the order, it would be equivalent to disobeying the order.

Except for emergency situations such as "a general is not bound by the king's orders when on a mission abroad", in other situations, disobeying the king's orders would result in death.

Everyone else at the banquet looked at Xu Ming, waiting for him to take orders.

But Xu Ming kept bending over and didn't respond.

Wei Xun’s words were still echoing in Xu Ming’s mind.

Who is the princess?

What is your name?
Wu Yanhan?
"Could it be that since you have passed the imperial examination this time, you are going to marry Miss Cici from Qi?"

"Why did you bring this upon someone else?"

"Nothing, but do you know? There is a rumor in the imperial capital that when you take the imperial examination, you will become the son-in-law of the Wu Kingdom."

"Huh? Is there such a thing?"

"Who knows? But Emperor Wu has granted you the marriage. Will you agree or not?"

"Does it look good?"

"Prettier than that Zhu Cici."

In Xu Ming's mind, Wu Yanhan's words to him at that time emerged.

Xu Ming knew that Wu Yanhan's identity was not ordinary, and he guessed that since Wu Yanhan's surname was "Wu", he was most likely a member of the royal family.

But Xu Ming never thought that she was the princess of Wu State. At most, he thought that she was a disciple sent by some royal noble to gain experience.

After all, who would have thought that Emperor Wu would send his only bloodline into the military camp?
Moreover, this only princess of the Wu Kingdom has the body of a martial god.

Xu Ming couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

It seems that it was Emperor Wu who arranged for him to enter Xuefutu and the 484 tent, and for him to come into contact with Wu Yanhan.

Does Xu Ming have a problem with Emperor Wu? That's not the case.

Entrusting their only precious daughter to you shows their greatest respect for you, and it is even equivalent to handing half of the kingdom into your hands.

Although Emperor Wu had no choice because he only had one daughter.
But Emperor Wu, as a father, has really treated you well.

Did Wu Yanhan know? Did she know that she was going to be given a marriage from the beginning?

Or is it that in the tent, Wu Yanhan is also watching me, her "future husband"?
"Top Scholar, receive the order."

Wei Xun looked at Xu Ming who was still not responding to the order and smiled at him.

Wei Xun could understand Xu Ming's daze.

No matter how talented this top scholar was, and no matter how mature he was beyond his peers, when he was the top scorer in high school, he was also granted marriage and became a royal consort. This was such a great double happiness that anyone would suspect they were dreaming.

Xu Ming is really lucky. The day of passing the imperial examination and the day of his wedding, two happy events, happened on the same day.

"Ming'er, quickly accept the order."

"Ming'er, accept the order."

Beside Xu Ming, Xu Shuiya and Xu Ming's father were more anxious than Xu Ming.

If they didn't dare to touch the imperial edict, they would have snatched it away and stuffed it into Xu Ming's arms.

Xu Ming took a deep breath, stood up, looked at Wei Xun, and bowed deeply again:
"I will not obey your order for the time being."
