Xu Da would never have thought that the truth would actually be like this.
The perpetrator and the victim were the exact opposite of what he had thought before.
Zhu Rong was actually the victim of this incident. He had lost his virginity because of his three daughters 'scheme.
What Xu Da didn't expect was that in front of the Emperor, the Empress, and himself, Zhu Xiong actually took all the blame on himself.
Xu Da was not stupid. Wu Wang was doing this to protect his eldest daughter's reputation.
Thinking of his performance today and the things he did to Wu Wang, Xu Da instantly felt his face heat up. He wanted to find a hole to hide in.
"Big girl, since you like the King of Wu, why didn't you say it clearly to your father? Why must you use this method to force the King of Wu to marry you?”
Xu Da asked in confusion.
"Father, the relationship between your daughter and brother Xue is too complicated.”
"Originally, I didn't want to use such an extreme method to force Brother Xu to marry me.”
"However, I didn't expect that Li Wenzhong and his son would be so useless and be defeated by Wang Baobao so quickly.”
Xu Miaoyun was speaking when Xu Da suddenly interrupted her.
"Wait, big girl, how did you know that Li Wenzhong was defeated by Kuo Kuo?”
It was urgent to travel 800 miles to the north. It had only reached the Emperor's hands last night and had not been revealed at all. The entire court did not know about it. Even he himself had only found out from the Emperor today how his daughter knew about it.
"Now that the northern expedition is in full swing, His Majesty just had to hold a family banquet at this time to invite Father to eat. It must be because the war in the north is tight and he wants you to lead the expedition.”
Xu Miaoyun said calmly, as if she was talking about something very ordinary.
"Big girl, it's a pity that you're a woman. If you were a man, you would definitely be able to become a general.”
Xu Miaoyun's wisdom and meticulous thoughts had once again refreshed Xu Da's understanding. He could not help but sigh.
"However, this has nothing to do with what you did."
Xu Da found it difficult to finish his sentence. After all, what his daughter had done was too 'heaven-shocking.'
"Dad, your brain is really not as good as Uncle Tang's.”
Xu Miaoyun smiled and shook her head.
"The battlefield is closely related to the court, and there are too many twists and turns. You only know how to fight bravely on the battlefield, but do you know what those people in the court think?”
"Do you know why His Majesty made you the Grand Tutor and the Right Prime Minister of the Hall of Governmental Affairs?”
"Do you know why His Majesty clearly knows that your military talent is far above Li Wenzhong's, but why he did not let you take command of the northern expedition at the beginning?”
Xu Miaoyun asked three times in a row, which stunned Xu Da.
"Why?"
"To put it simply, it's because I'm afraid that you'll hold military power for a long time and that you'll threaten the civil service system and even the imperial power.”
"If I am not wrong, Li Shan Chang, Liu Bo Wen, and even Hu Wei Yong have suggested to His Majesty more than once that we cannot let a general hold military power for too long.”
"That's why His Majesty asked Father to resign.”
"But what His Majesty didn't expect was that Li Wenzhong was completely no match for Kuo Kuo. As a result, he had to let Father take command again.”
"If you were to lead the army, if you were to be defeated and expand your territory, it would definitely be a heaven-shaking merit.”
"But think about it, how should His Majesty reward you?”
"Treasure? Wealth and beauty? This seemed superficial, and the historian could not write.”
"Promotion? Now that you're the Duke of the country, how can His Majesty give you an official title? If you go any higher, you can only be granted the title of King of a different surname. Do you think His Majesty will do that?”
Xu Da shook his head. It was true that he could confer the title of King of a different surname, but he could forget about the living King of a different surname. After he died, he would be conferred the title of King of a different surname and enjoy the offerings of incense.
"That's why there's only one way left. When His Majesty invited you to the palace for a family banquet, I already guessed that His Majesty wanted to propose marriage to you.”
"The order of seniority is clear. The Crown Prince, King Qin, and King Jin have already gotten married. The next one will definitely be the King of Yan.”
"However, your daughter did not want to marry the King of Yan. She could only listen to Miao Jin's absurd suggestion and use this method to force the King of Wu.”
"Today, your daughter not only forced Brother Xu, but also His Majesty and the Empress.”
Hearing these words, Xu Da's mind gradually became clear.
Her daughter was right. She had no choice but to do this. Only by doing this could she marry Wu Wang.
At the family banquet today, although the Emperor generously expressed that he could choose the King of Yan and the King of Wu, now that he thought about it carefully, whether it was the Emperor, the Empress, or even the Crown Prince, they were all biased towards the King of Yan.
To put it bluntly, Wu Wang was just a foil.
In fact, if he had to choose, he would definitely choose Prince of Yan, Zhu Di.
Although Xu Da had belittled the reputation of the King of Yan, Zhu Di, at the dinner table, it was a different kind of praise and recognition.
Who was Zhu Zhongba? He was the current emperor.
However, who would have thought that in the end, he would be turned around by his eldest girl.
After understanding the whole story, the haze in Xu Da's heart was swept away. He even thought of Wu Wang's achievements today and the words he said to him. Xu Da was so happy that he couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha!"
"Big girl, you're really smart and found a good husband.”
"Who would have thought that the King of Wu, who used to work in the fields all day and was looked down upon by others, would be the hope of the people of Ming Dynasty!”
Xu Miaoyun smiled shyly." Brother Xu is the most powerful man in the world. No one can compare to him.”
Xu Da nodded in agreement with his daughter's praise.
Then, he looked at his second and third daughters.
"Miao Qing, Miao Jin, prepare yourselves. When Wu Wang comes to visit in two days, you two sisters will follow him back to the residence!”
Xu Da was willing to admit defeat. Since he had lost the bet, he had to compensate Zhu Rong with his two daughters.
Of course, the reason why he was able to carry out the bet so readily was because he had resolved the misunderstanding and understood Zhu Rong's true character.
At the same time, his two daughters were indeed on the wrong path of thinking. They should be properly disciplined. Wu Wang Zhu Rong was suitable.
"Ah ~"
"Father, don't!"
"We don't want to go to the Wu Mansion!"
Upon hearing that they would be sent to the Wu Estate, Xu Miaoqing and Xu Miaojin subconsciously covered their backs.
It was already so painful after one hit. If he hit her a few more times, wouldn't she be bloated?
"Big sister, save me! It hurts when brother Xu hits someone.”
Seeing that Xu Da was indifferent, the two sisters turned to their eldest sister for help.
However, Xu Miaoyun's words struck the sisters like a bolt from the blue.
"Big Brother Mu is right. You two little girls have gone astray in your thoughts. You should discipline them properly. Otherwise, you might cause trouble in the future.”
Xu Miaoyun said heartlessly.
"Big sister, you're killing the donkey when you're done grinding!"
The two sisters shouted in unison and then limped away, supporting each other.
