However, Jia Xuan did not care about them.
When he conquered the three continents of Liaodong and returned with a great victory, the annual cloth business would definitely be ruined. The silk would rot in the hands of these guys. They would suffer!
Jia Xuan walked straight into the tent.
He found that there was a different world in the tent. The old Emperor sat on the main seat, with a large table in front of him. Below him were the Eldest Princess and the three princesses, followed by the Qin Minister and Grand Preceptor He. As for the officials and generals behind them, they sat on the ground, eating and drinking. There was no harsh atmosphere like in the court, and it was abnormally lively.
"Hahaha, Minister Xuan is here!"
"Quick, quick, quick, sit beside zhen. Zhen has something to ask you.”
When the old Emperor saw Jia Xuan enter, his face immediately revealed a happy smile. He doted on Jia Xuan to the extreme and even wanted Jia Xuan to sit beside him.
One had to know,
This was an honor that the First Prince, Second Prince, and Eldest Princess did not have!
Even the current Grand Preceptor, Minister Qin, had to sit obediently in the seats below!
"Alright, then I'll do as you say.”
Jia Xuan walked to the old emperor's side and sat down. The head eunuch, Dai Quan, hurriedly moved a slightly smaller table and placed it beside the old emperor's table. Then, he served Jia Xuan a lot of good wine and delicacies.
The other officials were dumbfounded.
Minister Qin, Cheng Shi, Grand Preceptor He, Marquis Chengyang, the two princes, the Eldest Princess, and even the old emperor himself were all stunned.
He really wasn't polite!
The old emperor said to let Jia Xuan sit beside him. Even if he was sincere, Jia Xuan had to be polite before sitting over!
Why did he just go over like that?
"No wonder he married that Cheng Si Niangzi who doesn't look like a lady.”
At this moment, a strange voice sounded,
Jia Xuan looked over and realized that the person who spoke was Marquis Chengyang.
"Haha, Marquis Chengyang, you should ask yourself, with your manners, have you done anything wrong? Are you afraid that ghosts will come to take your life at night?”
Jia Xuan laughed loudly.
"You!"
"What a sharp-tongued brat!"
Marquis Chengyang's expression changed, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Jia Xuan was right. Marquis Cheng Yang had done too many things that he had done wrong. A few days ago, he had a nightmare that someone he had killed came to ask for his life.
Now, Jia Xuan hit the nail on the head.
Marquis Chengyang was furious.
Fortunately, the old Emperor spoke up to smooth things over.""Alright, this one likes my dear minister Xuan's straightforwardness. In the army and in this Great Zhou, it's better to add more straightforwardness men. Otherwise, they will always beat around the bush and speak riddles and incisive words, causing people to be annoyed.”
The old Emperor seemed to be trying to smooth things over.
In reality, it was protecting Jia Xuan.
Now, all the civil and military officials in the court had a complete idea that the old emperor really doted on Jia Xuan! If Jia Xuan returned with a great victory this time, he would probably rise straight to the top and become a person with monstrous power.
The two princes 'expressions flickered as they thought of building a good relationship with Jia Xuan. If Jia Xuan returned with a great victory, it could be said that whoever snatched Jia Xuan would be able to obtain the position of Crown Prince!
"Your Majesty, you said you have something to ask me just now? Could it be a military matter?"
Jia Xuan toasted the old emperor with a cup of wine and asked curiously.
"No, no."
The old Emperor smiled mysteriously. Let the Fourth Lady of the Cheng family be his wife?"
Jia Xuan was slightly stunned.
All the officials were stunned.
Cheng Shi, in particular, didn't know what the old emperor meant.
The old Emperor smiled." Look at my beloved daughter, Princess Wuyan. She has liked to wield knives and spears since she was young. She doesn't look like a lady at all. I'm thinking of finding a good family to marry so that she won't be lonely in the palace.”
As soon as he said this,
Everyone was silent.
Immediately after, there was an uproar!
The civil and military officials discussed animatedly!
The old emperor doted on Jia Xuan to the death!
He even wanted to betroth the Eldest Princess to Jia Xuan!
The Eldest Princess Zhou Wuyan was the Emperor's youngest daughter, and also the daughter left behind by his most beloved Empress. Now that the old Empress was dead, it could be said that the old Emperor had poured all his longing for the Empress onto the Eldest Princess Zhou Wuyan. Even if Zhou Wuyan liked to wield knives and spears, did not learn the four arts, the four books, and five classics, the old Emperor would let him be!
If Jia Xuan married the Eldest Princess,
Not to mention anything else,
Even if Jia Xuan was defeated and returned, Jia Xuan and his descendants would be able to enjoy glory and wealth for several generations!
The entire court couldn't understand why the old Emperor favored Jia Xuan so much.
Little did he know,
When the old Emperor was in despair, he had hoped that a generation of young and fierce generals would help him clear the obstacles and leave a good foundation for his descendants. Unfortunately, the gunpowder warehouse had been blown up, and his final plan had fallen short.
The despairing old emperor even wanted to send out the old eunuch at the Great Grandmaster level in the depths of the palace.
but...
At this moment, Jia Xuan appeared out of nowhere.
He was a young talent, invincible in leading troops, brave in battle, and had a good background. He was born into a martial aristocratic family. Everything made the old emperor extremely satisfied, which was why he was so fond of Jia Xuan.
"What do you think, dear minister?"
The old Emperor asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty!" Cheng Shi immediately said. General Jia Xuan was about to go to war with the Tartars, and swords had no eyes. To put it bluntly, if she was injured or wrapped in a corpse, wouldn't Princess Wuyan be a widow for the rest of her life? They are definitely not a good match, Your Majesty."
Nonsense.
If Jia Xuan married Princess Wuyan, then Curly Hair could only be a concubine.
Cheng Shi, who doted on his daughter, had even thought of abandoning all his achievements countless times and taking his daughter back to the countryside to farm. Therefore, he made a prompt decision and directly refuted the old Emperor's decision.
The old Emperor smiled but did not speak.
Grand Preceptor He, Marquis Chengyang, Grand Tutor Lou, and the others also stood up to dissuade the old Emperor from his decision.
In the end,
The decision still returned to Jia Xuan's hands.
Jia Xuan looked at Princess Wuyan and cupped his hands at the old Emperor."Your Majesty, this subject and Cheng Si Niangzi promised each other on the day of our wedding that we would not give birth to any children before our achievements were accomplished.”
"I haven't made any contributions today, but Your Majesty has already betrothed the princess to me.”
"The nine sides have not been destroyed, what can we do?”
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I'm afraid I can't agree to this marriage.”
The old Emperor clearly did not expect Jia Xuan to reject him, but this made him like Jia Xuan even more!
If Jia Xuan agreed directly,
Instead, he had to consider Jia Xuan's character.
"Good!"
"What a good idea! Presumably, if it wasn't for the Old Lady forcing you, you wouldn't have married Fourth Lady Cheng.”
"Don't worry, my dear minister. I won't be as unreasonable as the women in the back. When you return triumphantly, subdue the three provinces of Liaodong, and wipe out the nine borders, I'll arrange a marriage for you.”
The old Emperor laughed loudly and stroked his beard. He liked Jia Xuan even more.
The more he looked at her, the more pleasing she looked.
“....”
Marquis Chengyang's face darkened.
F * ck!
Previously, when the old Emperor wanted to betroth Princess Wuyan to the Ling Family's Eleventh Prince, the Eleventh Prince immediately joined the army and ran away. He was unable to get married, and he was demoted by half a rank and his salary was deducted for half a year.
In the end, Jia Xuan was also resisting the marriage.
Not only was he not punished, but the old Emperor liked him even more.
Comparing the two, Marquis Chengyang couldn't help but curse in his heart: "What a sharp-tongued brat!”
