Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 175
Yu Liang waited quietly in Taicheng for the emperor's reply to the imperial edict, but the imperial edict did not arrive, but the emperor himself!
Although it was already summer, the emperor was still wearing a windbreaker, his body looked a little bloated, but his face was already thin and sunken, and his complexion was also pale.From walking down the chariot to entering Yu Liang's official office, the distance was less than ten feet, and he walked for a long time with the support of the servants.

It has been more than a month since the last court meeting. During this time, the emperor has been living in the inner court and seeing his ministers. Although Yu Liang can pass through unimpeded, but he feels guilty and abides by the courtiers' festival, and he has not seen the emperor for a long time.Goodbye now, but seeing that the emperor is a different person than before, he was so emotional that he didn't know what to say.

His family avoided misfortune in the south of the Yangtze River, and was appreciated by the late emperor, so he was fortunate to be Emperor Zong, and he became acquainted with the current emperor in commoner clothes.Now that he is in power in Zhongshu, it is thanks to the support of Emperor Jian Ba, the kindness and friendship of acquaintances and mutual acquaintances are tumbling in his heart for a while.Yu Liang knelt in front of the emperor's seat, and said in a shy voice: "If your Majesty has any inquiries, you can just call the ministers into the court, why come in person."

Although the emperor was sluggish, he was in a good mood. He raised the imperial edict that Yu Liang had previously drafted and sent to the garden, and said with a smile: "I have lived in the garden for a long time, and I don't want to hear about foreign affairs. I would like to ask my brother-in-law, What is the origin of this discussion in Taichung?"

Although he has his own news channel, so that he will not completely isolate the inside and outside, but there is always some lag in getting the news.This matter is very related, but it started suddenly, so the emperor really didn't know the inside story, but had some vague guesses, and was eager to verify it, so he went to Taicheng in person.The emperor didn't care about whether Ruan Fu was dismissed or appointed at this time. He was most concerned about whether the matter he valued most now had reached a result.

Although the emperor asked the question with a smile and his tone was calm, Yu Liang still couldn't bear to hear these words.But the relationship between the two is in the current situation, no matter how verbal an apology is, it seems pale.So after pondering for a while, Yu Liang discussed the matter and explained the cause and effect of the matter in detail.

The emperor's keen understanding of the current situation is beyond the reach of others. Although Yu Liang said nothing else, after listening to it, he has sorted out a general context in his heart.His face gradually relaxed, he understood that the selection of the emperor's son-in-law had finally come to a conclusion, and the Shen family really lived up to his expectations, they survived until the end and finally won!
Although he prefers the Shen family and lists it as a candidate for the emperor's son-in-law, he still has doubts in his heart. After all, the Shen family's family status is still reluctant. In order to choose a suitable husband's family for his daughter, he is ready to fight at the critical moment. once.But in the end, it was the Shen family who gave him a surprise. The positive or strange means in the process not only showed the extraordinary skills of his family, but also showed the importance they attached to the princess.

If he is in good health and able to enjoy the long run of the country, the tricks shown by the Shen family will only make him more suspicious, and he will spare no effort to suppress his family.But now, he feels that he can only feel at ease if he entrusts his daughter to such a family.As for the afterlife, he no longer expects extravagantly.

Suffering from elbow and armpit problems, and being restrained by his closest relatives, the emperor was more pessimistic than indignant.No one in this world can be trusted without a doubt, sharing the same bed is a different dream, let alone those officials who have their own schemes.

Since he is a bird of a feather, he is more willing to entrust his daughter to a pragmatic family, rather than those high-ranking families who are too mystical and deviant from reality.At the very least, her daughter's safety in this life can be guaranteed, and there will be no setbacks and sufferings that she does not have to bear.

Langya Wang's family is not good, and Danyang's Zhang family is dull and difficult to manage the family.In comparison, the many performances of the Shen family in this process are really amazing.At the very least, the traits revealed by the Shen family made the emperor feel that he had nothing to trust.

Because the mood was so rare recently, the emperor couldn't help showing off and said to Yu Liang: "My brother-in-law has always been able to learn from others, what do you think of this good son-in-law I have chosen?"

When Yu Liang heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.At first, he was interested in the Danyang Zhang family, only out of consideration of the current situation, as for the others, he didn't think much about it.The many clumsy deeds of the Zhang family that I have seen recently, it is indeed hard to call it a good match.The emperor teased him with this language, which really left him speechless.

The emperor's original intention was not to embarrass Yu Liang too much. Seeing that he was speechless, he no longer pursued it. After pondering for a while, he said: "Since this matter has come to fruition, let the Shen family choose a day to go to Zongzheng to record his name." , let’s discuss about the wedding date.”

After hearing the words, Yu Liang remained silent. On the one hand, it was not in his authority to comment on this matter, and on the other hand, he still hesitated in his heart because this matter was not what he wanted after all.

"Brother-in-law, you are also a family member, so it is not beyond the rules for me to discuss this matter with you."

The emperor took a deep breath, and then said to Yu Liang: "There are many rituals, and the young girl is too young to be impatient, so I plan to only pay respects to the time of day, and save the court's congratulations."

When Yu Liang heard this, his shoulders trembled.The weekly wedding rituals are divided into six ceremonies, and the current situation is quite turbulent, so each has its deletions, even the aristocratic families no longer insist on having the six rites complete.However, the so-called ceremony of worshiping the time refers to all the six rituals, and welcoming relatives and visiting the hall is a complete ceremony.Don't talk about dignified emperors and princesses, even the common people's family Jane will be criticized from now on.

But after the emperor said this, Yu Liang no longer doubted the emperor's intentions in choosing his son-in-law.Before that, he had hidden worries, that is, he was worried that when the emperor planned to send envoys from various places to the capital to celebrate the princess's marriage, the emperor would take this opportunity to make a comeback.But now the emperor bluntly said that he wanted to marry a daughter with the ceremony of worshiping the time, obviously he had no such intention.

Yu Liang was deeply moved, but at this moment it was difficult to hide it anymore. He knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "The emperor's marriage, how can you be hasty. I invite you to take a post outside the capital, a small county in Bianzhou, and respectfully ask for the holy order!" The implication is, He would rather give up all his current powers to avoid suspicion than see the emperor compromise and marry his daughter poorly.

After the emperor heard the words, he smiled miserably: "Brother-in-law misunderstood, I have no other thoughts, I just want to see my little girl get married with my own eyes."

"His Majesty……"

How Yu Liang couldn't hear the meaning of the emperor's words, tears gushed out of his eyes uncontrollably.

"Destiny has a definite number, so let's do it as it is. I was born carelessly, but it can be said that I have no regrets. Now I can only lick the calf. The prince has a brother-in-law and other sages to help me. I don't have to worry about it. But this little woman is very Wen Wan, I am afraid that she will see her evil husband's family, if I can't manage her marriage personally, I will die with regret."

The emperor's demeanor gradually became lazy, but his gaze gradually softened.

Yu Liang hung his head and burst into tears. Although he didn't want the princess to marry so hastily, but the emperor's words had reached this point, how could he object.After being silent for a long while, Yu Liang said in a deep voice: "Princess is condescending to do the common people's courtesy. I ask you to give me the title to pay for the lack of courtesy. The people of Danyang Township once asked the two counties to be the princess Tang Muyi. Please discuss it from now on!" "

The emperor's eyes flickered, he knew about this discussion, but he was stuck in Zhongshu and couldn't decide.Originally, the titles of the kings and princesses belonged to Taichang and Zongzheng. However, Danyang and the two counties are close to the capital.He would rather give up many vain gifts, and is willing to fight for a good gift for his daughter.But without the response from the outer court, it would be very difficult for him to achieve his wish based on his current state.

Hearing Yu Liang's statement at this moment, the emperor was delighted, and said, "I've been very tired recently, and I depend on my brother-in-law for family affairs. If I can do something good for my little girl, it will also make up for my regrets."

"I will do my best to make this happen!"

Yu Liang solemnly stated that the fact that the capital of Danyang is difficult to confiscate is not because he is obstructing it, but that the two counties of Jurong and Qu'a are too important to be classified as feudal states.Yu Liang responded to the matter, feeling both grateful and guilty, and determined to do something for the emperor.It's just that the cooperation of Danyang scholars is indispensable for this, and the Zhang family of Danyang discusses this first, which is the key to success.

But since he has already agreed to the emperor, Yu Liang has to do it no matter what!
The emperor's spirit was extremely poor, and he was gradually unable to support himself at this moment. He got up and was supported by others to go back to the garden, but before leaving, he said to Yu Liang: "The empress may still have a hard time here, and I have to get rid of my brother-in-law to get rid of it." One or two."

------

"Brother, I heard that the foreign court has a lot of opinions about the Zhang family. His family is going to marry my family. At this time, there are many criticisms. I am afraid that my daughter's name will be hurt. Brother, can you give consideration to your family in Taichung?"

Yu Liang bit the bullet and went to the court to meet the queen. Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, the queen would talk about it, which made Yu Liang even more embarrassed.

The queen's reckless behavior had caused him a lot of trouble, but how could he blame the queen.At this time, hearing that the queen was still obsessed, Yu Liang sighed in his heart, pondered for a long time, and then said in a deep voice: "The choice of the emperor's son-in-law has been decided. The Zhang family is not a good match..."

"What? It's been decided? Who made the decision? Why didn't I know about my little daughter's marriage proposal?"

After hearing the words, the queen's face changed suddenly, and then she became even more unhappy: "Ms. Zhang is not a good match? So Wu Xing and Shen's family have to choose? Brother, you and I are the ones who choose Mrs. Zhang, but now they say Mrs. Zhang Not a good match, because of you, against you. It's about my daughter's life, how can I trust you, brother?"

When Yu Liang heard this, his expression became more gloomy. However, this matter was indeed his fault, and he didn't know how to defend himself for a while. He just lowered his head and prepared to bear the queen's scolding, without explaining much.

The empress was indignant, she just wanted to treat her daughter kindly recently, but she was immediately slapped head-on, which really made her a little unacceptable.

The eldest brother's prestige when she was at home in the early years, because of her love for her son, was also forgotten at this time, and she babbled for a long time before she said in a condensed voice: "My little girl, how can she marry the Kuangwei Wuzong! Brother, earlier you It’s not Shen’s, so why don’t you just stop this matter? If you find it embarrassing, I will respond to you in the garden and choose someone else. Don’t let my little girl marry into the Wuzong sect!”

Yu Liang felt even more headache when he heard this.This matter has caused the confrontation between the North and the South to stalemate for a long time, and now there is finally a result, how can it be easily stopped!If he really dared to do this, how would Nan Shi deal with himself?How to look at the court again?
Seeing that the queen was already frowning and thinking, it seemed that it was not as simple as talking about it, but she really planned to put it into action.Yu Liang gradually understood why the emperor had to marry the princess before his death. If the matter was shelved again, he didn't know where the queen would lead him.Doing evil intentionally is indeed annoying, but unintentional evil is the most unexpected!

"The north and the south are paying attention to this matter, how can we stop it lightly. If the empress arbitrarily moves this discussion, the north and south things will put my family in a desperate situation, or even the East Palace will be affected!"

How dare Yu Liang let the queen act rashly again, and quickly said in a deep voice, seeing the seriousness of the situation changed, he said: "Your Majesty's love for daughters is especially dear to the queen. He seeks good ways for the princess. It's as detailed as a queen can imagine..."
