Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 584 The Beginning

Xu Jingzong returned home with a sullen face.Today, someone attacked him again with the matter of marrying his daughter, and even the emperor was displeased.This is not a good thing for him.Thinking that this position of Shangshu has not been sat for a few days, and that he might be going down, I feel very angry.

I don't know what those people think.What do you do when you have enough to eat?Does his daughter need anyone to ask who she wants to marry?
The words of the matchmaker's order from the parents are justified.It's just that this group of people are jealous of his position as a minister and can't see him well!
This Ministry of Rites is Qingshui Yamen, I don't know why they are jealous!
Thinking of this, some anger gathered again, but then he couldn't help but sigh!

Even the Shangshu of Qingshui Yamen is one of the six books!And it is very noble to be responsible for the education of the world.

Thinking of the responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Jingzong's face became even more ugly.

Today, this group of people rose up to attack, isn't it just to use the matter of enlightenment?

The dignified minister of the Ministry of Rites himself does not abide by the etiquette and law, which is insulting to the country's dignity. Marrying his daughter to the chief of a barbarian tribe is simply a vicious person who knows the law and breaks the law!

Looking at the guards waiting at the door of the house, and the words of his colleagues still lingering in his ears, Mr. Xu felt depressed for a while.

Stepping up the steps, the guard hurriedly stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty has come back from court? Madam just came out of the palace just now and is waiting for Your Majesty."

"In the palace?"

Xu Jingzong was stunned, and asked: "Why did she go to the palace for no reason?"

"It was the empress who summoned me. I don't know what she said. Anyway, Madam asked the little one to wait here, and told the gentleman to go to her place after he came back... Said that he had something important to discuss with him."

Xu Jingzong was stunned for a moment, then immediately stepped over the threshold and said, "Go to Madam..."

"Yes……"

Soon, Xu Jingzong came to the small courtyard where Mrs. Yu lived, and as soon as he stepped through the door, he heard Mrs. Yu shouting: "Mr. Lang, you are back..."

"What happened?"

Seeing his wife's serious face, Xu Jingzong felt a little uneasy.

The queen summoned him suddenly at this stall, could it be because of her marriage to her daughter?
Mrs. Yu hurriedly narrated everything about entering the palace today, and then looked at her husband anxiously and said, "Your Majesty, what, what does this empress mean? She asked the Lord to take the initiative to ask for punishment. This, this Isn't that the same as resigning?"

After a pause, he continued: "When the concubine came to the door, those few words seemed to have a lot of meaning. Does Mr. Li know about Li Yifu?"

Xu Jingzong frowned and sat down slowly.After thinking for a long time, he suddenly stood up and bowed his hands in the direction of the palace, "Your Majesty is so kind, I will never forget it!"

After speaking, he laughed out loud.

"Advance by retreating. Your Majesty is so skillful! Hmph! When the late Emperor was still alive, he tried his best to win over the tribes. Everything I think and do is for the country, so Madam knows me!"

Then she wiped the corners of her eyes and murmured: "Only the empress understands me best in this world..."

Yu couldn't help shivering. What's the matter with this uncontrollable sense of shame?

At this moment, Mrs. Yu, who is also considered old-fashioned, suddenly felt that her husband's shamelessness had exceeded her imagination, and her skills had greatly increased. She was worthy of being the head of the family!

But I was still puzzled in my heart, I didn't know what the mystery was, so I couldn't help asking: "Why is Lang Jun still laughing?"

Xu Jingzong glanced at Mrs. Yu with a smug expression on his face, "So, most women in this world can only care for their husbands and raise their children at home. Is it possible for ordinary people to guess what the queen is thinking? Even an old man has to think about it for a while. "

He stroked his beard, lifted his chin slightly, and said with a hint of inscrutable authenticity: "The Empress asked me to apologize, and I used retreat as a way to advance. And the following words, haha..."

Xu Jingzong laughed, "This old man is completely loyal to the country. The late emperor did a lot of hard work to win over these barbarians when he was alive. Among other things, didn't there be a princess who married in Tubo? The emperor's daughter married well. , why can’t the old man’s daughter marry?”

"Yes, but those are not real golden branches and jade leaves..."

"Confused!"

Xu Jingzong stared, obviously indignant at his mother-in-law's stupidity.

"The name is as big as the sky! No matter what you do in this world, you must first determine the name! Although the princess was created by King Jiang Xia, she is now the daughter of the late emperor. This name has been announced to the world. Even if it is a cat, then Also a princess!"

Mrs. Yu opened her mouth, and what she said was so reasonable that the old woman was speechless!

"Speaking of cats..."

After Xu Jingzong smirked a few times, disgust appeared on his face again, and he said contemptuously: "That Li Yifu official has a very stinky voice, saying that he is Li Mao is to describe him as a person who is docile on the outside and cunning on the inside. Hmph! Madam is right. , cats are obedient on the surface, they can’t be compared to dogs, but it’s still necessary to tease and find happiness..."

After a pause, he couldn't help laughing again, "The empress is really a god! She knew that Li Yifu's official reputation was not good, and she even knew the nickname of Li Mao. But this person was born with righteousness and served as a senior official. As a direct scholar of the Xianguan, the fact that the official reputation is not good is only rumored in the public, I didn't expect that the empress would know this, she is really a god!"

Although he said this on his mouth, Xu Jingzong, who had thought about the taste, was feeling uneasy.

The empress killed three birds with one stone. She first reminded her mother-in-law about her daughter's affairs, and then gave her a sweet date. changed.

This is a great honor!

Everyone in the world knows that the queen's fief was Chongyang. What does this mean?This means telling the world that Lao Xu is his man!It's touching to protect him like this!
But when he thinks about what the Empress Dowager Li Yifu, a small character like Li Yifu, has done in the capital, what her reputation is like, and even knows her nickname, it makes him feel chills in his back!
Nothing can be hidden from her old man!This point has not changed since I went to join her that year!So do you also know that you have received some favors from others?
But since I knew it and didn't pursue it, it's still nostalgic to be partial like this, right?
no!In the future, I can no longer accept benefits from the people below!The empress seems to hate this the most!It's better to do some maritime trade business, there is always a reason to take bribes, then Chu Suiliang is now one head and two big!
Thinking of Chu Suiliang, he narrowed his eyes again, and two cold lights flashed in his eyes, "Some people make party friends and don't pay attention to the emperor, heh heh, how can I allow them to be so presumptuous? Let’s go personally and meet that cat Li for a while..."

"what?!"

The Yu family exclaimed, "Mr. Lang, then Li Yi's mansion is a small official of Sesame Mung Bean, how can I trouble you to go there?"

"Women's view!"

Xu Jingzong scolded: "Do you know Xiangqi (that is, chess)? When my husband was a teacher in Xiaoqingzhuang, the empress once changed the rules and said a word..."

"What?"

Yu's face was perplexed, so the Xin Xiangqi, which has been quite popular in the army these years, is also the masterpiece of the empress?What else can she not do?
"Little pawns race carts across the river... Huh, although this Li Yifu is a small official, he can go to the court and listen to the teachings of the holy emperor. How noble is the old man who is the minister of the Ministry of Rites? Some words can't come from my mouth To speak out, you have to find someone to speak..."

How does the Yu family know about such a machismo?But after all, she has been a noble lady for many years, and she is no longer the maidservant she was back then.The more knowledge I have, the more eyes I have.

Although she was a little confused hearing her man say that, it didn't prevent her from understanding it with her own thinking.

"Lang Jun, it's because you are noble that you can't go in person..."

She pursed her lips with pride in her eyes, "Among the six books, the Minister of Rites is the clearest of the clean streams, and the reputation of Li Yi's mansion is not very good. How can Mr. Lang condescend? Isn't it to provoke gossip? It's better to send someone reliable. If he is really a smart person, he should know that Mr. Lang is promoting him; if he is not knowledgeable, hehe, he is definitely not a person who can take on great responsibilities. Why should Mr. Lang take such a risk to make friends with such people? People? Your reputation is so precious..."

Xu Jingzong's eyes lit up!
He clapped his hands and praised: "Madam is thoughtful, but my husband is negligent... Haha, no wonder the ancients said that when you marry a wife, you should marry a virtuous man! It is no regret to have you, a virtuous wife, to fill in the gaps for the old man. Wonderful, wonderful! "

After finishing speaking, he laughed again, stroked his beard, and thought for a while: "Well...Although the old man disdains dealing with people and doesn't know people very well, he has worked in the newspaper office for many years, and there are a few who come to my door. I can see it..."

As he spoke, he sighed again, "Oh, the old man is getting old. Since they are worshiping under my door and they are now in their prime, they must be given a chance to sharpen their skills. The things the empress ordered are all good jobs, so I will hand them over to you." Let them do it... Come on..."

The corner of Yu's mouth twitched.Couldn't help slandering: "What kind of bad job is this? It's clearly pushing people into the fire pit... No wonder the empress can make innovations on Xiangqi, just thinking about it... Haha, which one is not her chessboard The chess pieces on the board? It’s just the difference between pawns and chariots and cannons..."

Glancing at the complacent Xianggong, he shook his head slightly, "I'm afraid my man is just one of the pawns...but..."

Yu Shi hooked her lips and revealed a smile.

Does it matter if it is a chess piece?
In this world, who is a courtier who is not a pawn of the emperor?The only difference is whether it makes it easy or not.

It just so happened that my husband was the pawn that the emperor and the empress made easy for him!
Just having this is enough!As long as they have this, they will be able to make their Xu family prosperous!
Soon, several people came out from the Gaoyang County Government Mansion, and went to visit several people with Xu Jingzong's handwriting.In the afternoon, a few middle-aged people entered the mansion, and soon, these people came out excitedly, and went straight to the direction of Li Yi's mansion. Seeing that a storm was coming, just after the heavy rain When he was falling, he came to the back door of the Gaoyang County Duke's Mansion alone, and was quickly taken in again...
