Fortunate Young Gentleman

Chapter 683: Chess Game [Eighth Update]

Wang Xiang looked at the several figures in the courtyard with a look of surprise on his face.

Four of the six ministers of the imperial court came here today. The Ling family and the Lu family, the most powerful general families in the capital, even two old generals came here.

Although the Xiao family is almost in decline, it still cannot be underestimated due to the protection of the emperor.

It is no exaggeration to say that the few figures standing in this courtyard, including high-ranking civil servants and military generals, already make up most of the court.

This is without counting him, the prime minister of the dynasty.

That is to say, Divine Doctor Sun has a special status. Many dignitaries in the capital have inherited his kindness, and he himself is not involved in court disputes. If anyone else except him had brought so many civil and military ministers together, he would probably be killed immediately. aroused His Majesty's suspicion.

Fang Hong saw Prime Minister Wang standing at the entrance of the courtyard and stepped forward and said: "Prime Minister Wang is here too, come in quickly..."

Wang Xiang walked forward with a smile, bowed his hands to Divine Doctor Sun, and said, "We haven't seen each other for more than ten years, but my gentleman's style remains the same..."

Doctor Sun smiled and said, "It has been more than ten years. How is Mrs. Wang's health?"

Wang Xiang said: "Sir, I don't know. My father passed away five years ago."

Divine Doctor Sun cupped his hands and said apologetically: "I was rude."

Wang Xiang smiled and said: "Sir, you must not say that. If it weren't for you, my father would have gone to hell more than ten years ago. Your kindness will never be forgotten by the Wang family."

Wang Xiang's father was seriously ill. Fortunately, more than ten years ago, Dr. Sun came to the rescue and brought him back from the dead. Everyone knew about this, and they were not surprised by Wang Xiang's polite attitude towards Dr. Sun.

Divine Doctor Sun's medical skills are superb. Several imperial doctors in the imperial hospital are his disciples. No one does not want to have a relationship with such a person. Putting aside the past kindness, having him by your side at the critical moment is equivalent to an extra life. , who doesn’t want to have one more life?

Doctor Sun obviously didn't like such an occasion, and everyone noticed this. They stayed in the hospital for a short time, and after a brief chat, they all left.

Wang Xiang said goodbye to Divine Doctor Sun, and when he walked out of the courtyard, he happened to see Zhao Yuan and three little girls playing in the courtyard.

When a little girl saw him, she ran over happily and said, "Grandpa, why are you here..."

Zhang Yan, the Minister of Rites, followed Wang Xiang out. Another little girl stepped forward and said obediently: "Daddy."

Wang Xiang touched his granddaughter's head and asked with a smile: "Do you want to go back with grandpa?"

The little girl from the Wang family shook her head and said, "Grandpa, please go back first. I want to play with Brother Yuan for a while longer."

Wang Xiang gave her a helpless look and said, "Then you come back early."

Another little girl saw several people coming out and greeted them with a smile: "Grandpa Xiao, Grandpa Ling, Uncle Lu..."

Wang Xiang glanced at her and walked out of the Tang Mansion. He suddenly thought of something and looked at Lu Ding, Minister of the Ministry of War, and asked: "That little girl just now looked a little unfamiliar. Whose daughter is she?"

Lu Ding smiled and said: "That is the granddaughter of General Bai of the East Gate Guard. She has grown so big in the blink of an eye..."

"East gate guard, Bai family..." Wang Xiang nodded, said goodbye to a few people, and got into a sedan chair.

Wang family.

When a middle-aged man saw Wang Xiang coming back, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Father, how are you? What did Dr. Sun say? How is your health?"

Wang Xiang lowered his head and thought, and said casually: "My body is fine."

Although he said so, his expression did not look like he was okay. The middle-aged man's heart sank and he immediately said: "If something really happens, please tell me father clearly and don't hide it from us."

Wang Xiang raised his head and said: "It was just a misunderstanding. I am fine. Doctor Sun has already looked at it for me."

The middle-aged man looked at him and said in surprise: "What happened to my father..."

"It's nothing." Wang Xiang waved his hand and said, "Yan'er is also in the Tang Mansion. You should send someone to pick her up early."

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "I understand."

He thought of something, looked at Wang Xiang, and said, "My child has something and I want to ask my father's opinion."

Wang Xiang asked: "What's the matter?"

The middle-aged man said: "Yan'er and Prince Run were childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts. Last time Concubine Shu invited several married women to the palace for a garden tour, and Madam was also invited. Concubine Shu's words seemed to reveal that she wanted to marry the Wang family... …”

The Prime Minister frowned and asked, "Concubine Shu, are you getting married?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said: "Since Concubine Shu mentioned this matter, I am afraid she really meant it. Prince Run and Yan'er were childhood sweethearts. I think this matter is not impossible..."

Wang Xiang waved his hand and said: "This matter will be discussed later. Prince Run has been a passionate person since he was a child. His childhood sweethearts include girls from the Zhang family and the Bai family. It's not just my Yan'er. Does Concubine Shu want to be with our three families?" Getting married?"

After he said that, he walked straight into the room.

The middle-aged man shook his head and was about to leave, but suddenly turned around and saw Wang Xiang paused in his steps and stood at the door, delaying in stepping in.

He looked at Wang Xiang and said in surprise: "Dad, what's wrong?"

Wang Xiang's eyes narrowed slightly and he murmured: "Tell me, does Concubine Shu really want to marry our three families?"

"How is this possible..." The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "How could the Bai family and Zhang family give their daughters to him, unless King Run can obtain the Datong certification, but how is this possible?"

Wang Xiang looked at him and said: "Your Majesty is in good health. King Run will be able to take charge of his own affairs after waiting for five years. Why is it impossible?"

The middle-aged man continued to shake his head and said: "Prince Duan has Concubine Hui, the Tang family, and many wings in the court. Prince Run only has Concubine Shu behind him. Even if Prince Run has grown up, why should he compete with him?"

Wang Xiang's eyes were slightly strange, and he asked: "Who said that only Concubine Shu is behind Prince Run?"

He looked at the middle-aged man and said: "His two uncles, one is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the other is the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu. His husband is General Zuo Xiaowei, Minister Zuo Cheng, together with the Lu family of the Ministry of War, and the Song Dynasty of the Ministry of Justice. The Xiao family of Zuo Xiaowei and the Ling family of Yulin Wei are closely related. If Concubine Shu intends to marry our three families, she will have the Zhang family of the Ministry of Rites, the Bai family of the Dongmen Wei, and the Wang family of the Shangshu Province. At that time, he will bring the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty to the throne. If you catch them all in one fell swoop, why should Prince Duan fight with him?"

The middle-aged man was stunned and said in a daze: "What father means..."

"Prince Run is young and cannot come into the sight of His Majesty and the courtiers for the time being." Wang Xiang said with a thoughtful look on his face, "The authorities are confused, but the onlookers are clear. Someone took this opportunity to play a big game of chess..."

The middle-aged man asked: "Who is it?"

"Concubine Shu, the Fang family, the Tang family..." Wang Xiang looked at him, paused and then said: "Maybe there will be our Wang family..."
