Chapter 18 Xun Shuang is very cool
early morning.

Palace Hall.

Hundreds of officials went to court, but Emperor Ling of Han did not attend the court.

Grand Tutor Yuan Yu, Situ Wangyun and other representatives of the gentry attacked the eunuchs on the grounds of causing harm to the country and the people, while Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong refused to give an inch and spoke sharply.

The general watched the fire from the other side, sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, and from time to time found the right opportunity to throw stones at the eunuch.

Only Ma Rixun, Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun and others from the royalist faction sighed silently, the court was in chaos, and all the loyal officials of the big man had no place to fight. They could only watch the villain cholera the court, but there was nothing they could do.

Freezing a thousand feet does not happen in a day.The corruption of the Han Dynasty has become as sick as bone marrow, and the skin and flesh have begun to rot slowly. Even His Majesty Han Lingdi himself can only sigh in vain.

At the end of the court meeting, Xun Shuang was about to go home when he was stopped again.

This kind of thing has not happened for a day or two. Since some eunuchs suggested that Xun Yu marry Tang Heng's daughter, many powerful figures in the eunuch group have given Xun Shuang eye drops.

It's not persuasion with good words, or oppression by power, even other officials are used to it.

I watched Xun Shuang being bullied once a day, but no one offered to help. Instead, everyone was optimistic about the show. After all, it was rare to see Xun Shuang's family being bullied in Yingchuan.

It's just that the one who stopped Xun Shuang today was none other than Zhao Zhong, the leader of Zhongchang's servants.

This made the eyes of the ministers brighten. The eunuchs couldn't help sending such a person to put pressure on Xun Shuang. Today is a good show.

Xun Shuang could not give face to other eunuchs, but he never dared to despise Zhao Zhong. He is His Majesty Lingdi's "mother", even Lingdi himself would give Zhao Zhong some face.

"Marquis of Duxiang (Zhao Zhong once participated in the killing of the great general Liang Ji, and was granted the title of Marquis of Duxiang for his meritorious service), do you have something to advise?" Sure enough, although Xun Shuang was disdainful in his heart, he still acted respectfully.

"Mr. Xun is too polite. How can I teach you? I just care about the major life events of your Xun family's offspring." Zhao Zhong was not in a hurry, with a strange expression on his face, and a strange smile on his face.

The onlookers already knew that Zhao Zhong must be doing it for Xun Yu's marriage with Tang Xin, the daughter of Tang Heng's servant, and they wanted to see Xun Shuang's helpless look today.

"Oh, what does Du Xianghou mean by this, I don't care about it, please ask Du Xianghou for advice." It was obvious that Xun Shuang was procrastinating.

The people around were disdainful for a while, you Xun Ciming used this trick to deal with other eunuchs, that's all, use it to deal with Zhao Zhong?Hehe, what a joke, Zhao Zhong would take your trick?
Sure enough, Zhao Zhong's expression didn't change at all, he was still smiling, just looking at Xun Shuang quietly.

Normally, Xun Shuang would have been a little embarrassed to be stared at like this, but today he looked as steady as Mount Tai, not panicking at all.

Zhao Zhong was secretly surprised, this Xun Shuang is not afraid of himself at all today?This is really strange.

But Zhao Zhong was not a person who gave up easily. Seeing that this trick was ineffective, Zhao Zhong simply cut to the chase and stopped beating around the bush.

"Mr. Xun, the daughter of my good friend Tang Heng is knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous. She is a real lady of the family. And your nephew Xun Wenruo is also well-educated and Wang Zuozhi's talent. He can be called a young hero. A few days ago, someone suggested that the two of them have a happy event. I don't know what you think?"

Zhao Zhong's words made it clear that it was tantamount to cutting off all of Xun Shuang's escape routes. You can only answer yes or no, and it is absolutely impossible to delay.

But does Xun Shuang dare to directly reject the eunuch group's intention?Obviously dare not, just because the Yingchuan Xun family is not qualified enough.Can Xun Shuang easily agree to the request of the eunuch group?Certainly not, no one present would agree easily, this is a matter of honor and disgrace of the family.

All the onlookers laughed slyly, to see how your Xun family will deal with it.

"I've seen the daughter of Mr. Tang Heng's daughter. It's just like what Du Xianghou said. She is knowledgeable, reasonable, gentle and virtuous, and has the style of a lady. If she can marry into my Xun family, it will be a family fortune. It's just that if my family's culture is now It's just a small garrison order, if you don't succeed, you won't get a name, I'm afraid he won't be worthy of Miss Tang Xin."

Xun Shuang was neither humble nor overbearing, and came Wanwan, which is also reasonable.

However, these words made all the onlookers sneer, you Xun Shuang are blind, how dare you play sloppy with Zhao Zhong like this, looking for insult?
Sure enough, after hearing this, Zhao Zhong's expression changed immediately.

The smile on his face is still there, but at this moment, there is no trace of kindness, but a trace of ruthlessness is hidden.

"Xun Ciming, so you are going to reject this marriage? Is it because I gave you too much face and made you think that the Xun family is superior and doesn't even look down on us? Let me tell you, in Luoyang, even if it is The general dare not refuse our request. You Xun family."

"Wait! Wait! Duxianghou!" Just before Zhao Zhong was about to say the worst thing, Xun Shuang interrupted him.

"Xun Ciming! How dare you stop me from speaking?"

Zhao Zhong's pale and needless face slowly turned sullen, and began to turn red. Everyone could see that he was out of anger. He didn't even call Xun Shuang's official position, but called him by his first name. It's going to be difficult.

Isn't Xun Shuang always timid?How dare you directly offend Zhao Zhong?Everyone was a little dumbfounded.They originally just wanted to watch a good show, but they didn't expect it to develop like this. Does the Xun family not want to live?
"Duxianghou, don't be angry. I didn't say no. I interrupted you just because you misunderstood."

Xun Shuang was still unhurried, but this sentence confused everyone even more.

"Promise? Promise what?" Even Zhao Zhong himself was a little confused.

"Marquis Duxiang, didn't you just say that my family, Wen Ruo, should marry Miss Tang Xin? I agreed, isn't it right?"

"You agreed?" Zhao Zhong still had some disbelief subconsciously, did Xun Shuang agree?how is this possible?I haven't used any means yet, this is completely different from what I thought!

The surrounding public officials were also in an uproar.

"Ah, did you hear that? Could it be that I heard it wrong? Xun Ciming directly agreed?"

"I heard it too, maybe we all heard it wrong, how is it possible?"

"Yeah, how is it possible? Didn't Xun Ciming suffer from this matter a few days ago, why did he agree so readily?"

"Xun Langzhong, you agreed?" Zhao Zhong confirmed it, and the others all stretched their ears to hear what happened. This is not unusual.

"Marquis Duxiang, my family Wen Ruo had already figured it out yesterday. He said that Miss Tang Xin is a heavenly maiden, a rare thing in the world. To find such a beautiful woman, what can a husband ask for? If he can marry Miss Tang Xin, he will die without regret. What, Could it be that Du Xianghou repented?"

These words were naturally used by Xun Shuang to support the scene. No matter how bad Tang Xin was, he still had to say that he was as beautiful as a fairy.

"I, I. How could I go back on my word? It's just that since your Xun family agreed, what do you mean by what you said just now?" Zhao Zhong was still a little confused.

"What did I say?" Xun Shuang pretended to be puzzled, and stared at Zhao Zhong with wide eyes.Of course he knew what he said, these words were just to earn some face in front of Zhao Zhong.Seeing Zhao Zhong's confused look would not only make him comfortable for ten days and a half months?

"It's just not worthy of anything." Zhao Zhong didn't see that Xun Shuang was pretending, so he followed Xun Shuang and expressed his doubts.

"Oh, this one. Duxianghou, think about it, Miss Tang Xin is the daughter of Mrs. Tang Heng, she can be said to be a lady of every family, and my Xun family is still a rich family in Yingchuan, no matter how poor it is, how can their marriage be possible? Set it up as you like? Yesterday I finished discussing with my family, and I want to take Wen Ruo and Gongda to Mr. Huang's mansion in person to propose marriage, but I am afraid that Mr. Huang will not agree."

"Ah! So it is."

Zhao Zhong suddenly realized, his face was quite calm, but his heart was full of joy, this Xun Ciming really knows how to behave, this move has given us eunuchs enough face, not bad!very good!

"Mr. Xun, you don't have to worry. Wenruo of your family is known far and near for his talent, so he can be called a modest gentleman. Huang Heng also had this intention a long time ago, and Mr. Zhang and I will speak for your Xun family, and this will surely happen."

Zhao Zhong quickly pretended to be warm and comforted Xun Shuang.As long as this is done, the Xun family will be bound to the eunuch's party, and the eunuch's reputation among the gentry will definitely improve by then.

"In this way, I can solve my worries. Ciming is here to thank Duxianghou and Liehou (Zhang Rang was named Liehou) for their kindness."

Xun Shuang pretended to be humble and respectful on the surface, but in his heart he was very happy.Guo Jia's move is awesome!Just a few words made Zhao Zhong so affectionate, and even surprised a group of gloating guys next to him. He was so happy to be led by the nose by himself!
"It's okay, it's okay, Ciming. These are trivial matters, so let's discuss nephew Wen Ruoxian and Tang Xin's marriage together."

Xun Langzhong became Ciming, Xun Yu became Wen Ruoxian's nephew, and Zhao Zhong's tone suddenly became so affectionate that he and Xun Shuang were close to hooking up and sharing the same bed.

The two left lightly, leaving only a group of onlookers stunned and at a loss.

And in the dark place that they couldn't see, many black shadows moved quickly, leaping toward some unknown place, and then disappeared completely.

It won't be long before the conversation between Xun Shuang and Zhao Zhong will spread to all forces.
