Chapter 925 Complaint
"Marquis Zhongyong, what do you think?"

Just when Lin Chenyuan was thinking about this secretly, the words of Duke Fu rang in his ears again.

"That's not right. I'm afraid Duke Fu has forgotten that the next official is a married man, and now he lives and eats in the White Mansion."

"When I got married, I promised my wife that I will only marry her in this life, and I will never take concubines. I disappointed Duke Fu."

Hearing what Lin Chenyuan said, Fu Guogong looked at him with disappointed and incomprehensible eyes and said.

"What is this? We are men, majestic men, how can we be easily controlled by a woman."

"You are now the loyal and brave Marquis that His Majesty values ​​most, and you have your own mansion, so you can just move out?"

"If the woman in the family is unhappy, you just quit and finish the job, what do you want such a jealous woman?"

"You have to know that according to your current status, as long as you open your mouth, there will be a lot of women lining up to marry you. Why bind yourself to a woman from the countryside."

"Mr. Fu Guo is careful, this is inappropriate." Lin Chenyuan's face was already a little ugly.

However, Fu Guogong continued: "What's the matter? Everyone is a man, I understand, you just can't bear face."

"Don't worry, as long as you cooperate with the old man, the old man will have his own way to help you achieve what you want."

"Fu Guogong, you misunderstood, I mean, are you too confident?" Lin Chenyuan said in a cold voice.

"What do you mean by that?" Duke Fu expressed his confusion.

"I don't have the slightest interest in your proposal, and even find it ridiculous!"

"If the dignified Fuguo really has nothing to do, why not consider roasting some sweet potatoes and selling them on the street?"

"If you find something to do, you should have no time to think about it."

"Farewell."

After finishing speaking, Lin Chenyuan got up and got out of the carriage, completely disregarding the gloomy expression on Duke Fu's face in the carriage behind him.

If it hadn't been for the fear that Fu Guogong was too old to be stimulated, his words would have been even more exaggerated.

Listen, how can a person of such an age be so ridiculous?
"Lin Chenyuan, don't be ignorant of good and bad, or the old man will make it difficult for you."

The furious Fu Guogong swished open the curtain of the car and uttered such a harsh word to Lin Chenyuan.

"Master Fu, are you threatening me?" Lin Chenyuan narrowed his eyes.

"What? Scared?"

"Heh~" Lin Chenyuan showed a meaningful smile at Duke Fu, then turned and left.

He didn't go home directly, but went to the palace to see His Majesty.

As for the purpose, of course it is to complain.

If Fu Guogong could stop him from saying such things to him today, he must have stopped others and said the same proposal to others.

He didn't care what Duke Fu wanted to do, or who he told him about.

But Duke Fu was too impatient, and threatened him directly, which made people very unhappy.

After the empress died, the crown prince lost power again, and their Fuguo Duke's mansion was already in a state of decline, if they restrained themselves a bit, they kept a low profile.

His Majesty will definitely turn a blind eye to their family for the queen's sake, and they will still be able to maintain their splendor and dignity.

But if they are so ignorant of good and bad, soliciting courtiers in such a big way in private, and blatantly writing their ambitions and plans on their faces.

So I'm sorry, Fuguo Duke's Mansion is not far from Liangliang.

He is just a weak, helpless and pitiful little Zhongyonghou who has been threatened by others. Naturally, he will report to His Majesty when encountering such a thing.

Who made Fu Guogong so ordinary and so proud? He obviously didn't have a good brain, yet he dared to talk to him like that.

Very annoying.

His Majesty Qi Heng, who was reviewing the memorial, first heard Lin Chenyuan begging for an audience, and thought he was here for the upcoming Qingqiu mission, so he hastily put down the memorial in his hand and was announced to come in.

"Why did Lin Aiqing come here?"

"Report to Your Majesty, I have sued Duke Fu for being old and disrespectful, with impure thoughts."

"Oh?" Qi Heng raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

Lin Chenyuan didn't hide it either, and revealed all the ambitions and schemes that Duke Fu had described in front of him.

All of a sudden, he complained a little bit aggrieved: "He also encouraged this official to divorce his wife and let this official remarry someone else, which is really too much."

"I have made an oath that my wife is not alone in this life. Without my wife and her family, I would not be who I am now."

"Fu Guogong actually wants to make this humble official a villain who is unfaithful, filial, benevolent, and unrighteous. It is really a shame."

"Besides, how can he dictate His Majesty's affairs? It's too much, too much!"

"It's so!" After hearing Lin Chenyuan's complaint, Qi Heng was really furious.

"Oh, okay, that's really great. It seems that I have given Fu Guogong too much face these years, and made him forget what my last name is."

"Since he is so idle and panicking, why don't we go to the north to develop the Grand Canal for me!"

Hearing what Qi Heng said, Lin Chenyuan couldn't help but praise: "Your Majesty is wise!"

There has been a severe drought in the north for several years. If a Grand Canal can really be opened, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for the people in the north.

Not to mention that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, there is no external threat, and Daqi is also developing rapidly.

If you consider developing the Grand Canal at this moment, it is indeed beneficial and harmless, and the timing is also very suitable.

But this process will be quite troublesome.

Not to mention the long and long time required, the planning of the Grand Canal, money, manpower, etc. are not simple small problems.

Hearing His Majesty's angry tone, it must be difficult for Duke Fu.

As for the ways to embarrass him, most of them don't provide him with anything, and let him figure it out by himself.

Just when Lin Chenyuan was thinking about this, he heard Qi Heng say to Lai Fu beside him.

"You will go to Fuguo Duke's Mansion for me in a while, and you must convey what I mean."

"Since he is so capable as Duke Fu, it is up to him to figure out how to develop the Grand Canal, and the Ministry of Household Industry and others should not interfere."

"Yes, the old servant obeys." Lai Fu bowed his body and nodded.

Lin Chenyuan standing there was secretly happy.

"Okay, let's do this first."

"Lin Aiqing, what do you think about the upcoming visit of the Qingqiu State Mission?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think that it is enough to follow the courtesy of receiving missions from other countries."

"..."

After coming out of the palace, Lin Chenyuan went to Bai Jinli's favorite fried chestnut shop and bought a catty of freshly baked hot chestnuts.

Along the way, his hands never stopped, peeling chestnuts all the time.

When the carriage stopped at the gate of Baifu, the chestnut in his arms had just been peeled.

When sending the still warm chestnuts to Bai Jinli's hands, Bai Jinli happily took it, and even left a kiss on his cheek as if to praise him.

"Sir, you are so kind!"

"As long as the lady likes it." Lin Chenyuan's eyes were slightly warm.

With such an excellent lady to accompany him for the rest of his life, he was really content.

As for the things that happened before, since they have been resolved, there is no need to tell Bai Jinli, so as to save trouble.

-

Just when the officials of Honglu Temple in Daqi State were preparing to welcome the Qingqiu Mission in full swing, a letter was suddenly delivered to His Majesty Qi Heng.

This letter was written by the new emperor of Suzaku Kingdom, and the intention in it is very obvious.

Marriage of two countries.

The new emperor of Suzaku Kingdom clearly stated in the letter that he has a good wish to coexist peacefully with Daqi.

And he also specifically named the object of marriage in the letter.

Bai Meng, the daughter of Princess Yong'an.

After reading the letter, Qi Heng was stunned for a moment, and then began to search in his mind for news about Princess Yong'an's daughter.

Unfortunately, he didn't have too much information about Baimeng in his mind.

The only thing I know is that Baimeng is No.1 in the previous embroidery competition.

So, why did the new emperor of Suzaku Kingdom want to marry Bai Meng by name?
And the letter is very sincere, it is to marry Bai Meng in the past.

And that Suzaku Kingdom specifically made it clear in the letter that once he married Bai Meng, there would no longer be any women in his harem.

If he breaks this oath, he is willing to give up five cities to Da Qi.

This was also one of the reasons why Qi Heng was in a daze.

As an emperor, he can say such a thing, it is really incomprehensible to him.

Could it be that the emperor of Suzaku Kingdom had any stories with Bai Meng before?
"Come here, Xuanhu Department Bai Yi, Princess Yong'an and their daughter Bai Meng came to see me."

"Yes."

In the White House.

Bai Yi, who is in an important position in the household department, finally had time to rest and take a bath today. He planned to take Yan Shi, Bai Meng, and Bai Mo to visit the White Mansion first, and then the family went out to play.

Not long after the four of them arrived at the White Mansion after leaving the Princess Mansion, they received a decree from the palace.

When Bai Yi and Yan Shi heard the news that His Majesty wanted them to enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit, they felt very confused and worried at the same time.

On the contrary, Mrs. Li was quite hearty, she comforted her and said, "Since His Majesty told you, you can go."

"Put it down, I think His Majesty is a good one, and I shouldn't embarrass you."

"Yes, mother." Bai Yi nodded honestly.

"Why did Your Majesty ask Meng'er to enter the palace with us? Is it possible that you want to marry Meng'er?"

When Bai Meng, who was sitting beside her, heard her mother's muttering, her face became unnatural for a moment, and her hands in her sleeves curled up slightly.

"No way? Your Majesty has so many things to do every day, how could he suddenly pay attention to Meng'er's lifelong affairs?" Bai Yi said.

"Why is that impossible? Our Baimeng is not bad, and she is the princess's daughter. Why did His Majesty propose a marriage for her?" Mrs. Li continued nonchalantly.

"Originally, I was thinking that Bai Meng had reached the age of marriage, and it was time to get married. I was thinking of going to Princess Heshun and asking her to help introduce some suitable ones."

"Now it seems that I don't need to do anything extra."

"Grandma, father, mother, my daughter is still young, she still wants to stay by your side for a few more years, and she doesn't want to marry yet!" Bai Meng said in a low voice.
