Chapter 517: Cunning Master x Upright County Magistrate 13
Ning Zishu sat on the chair in annoyance. The maid put the wooden box containing the marriage certificate and ring on the table and hurriedly retreated.
Ning Lanyin and Ning Zihua looked at each other, their anxiety almost overflowing.
"Third brother, do you accept it just like that?"
Ning Zihua, who couldn't hold back any longer, was the first to sit down in the empty seat next to Ning Zishu, wishing she could throw all the wooden boxes on the table out.
"The emperor trusts the master so much that he can even issue an imperial decree to grant marriage to a man. I'm afraid you will suffer in the future if you marry him."
His third brother is a very gentle person. If Xiahou Yi acts willfully after marriage, his third brother will probably have to endure the rest of his life in difficulty.
After all, it was the Emperor who arranged the marriage, and we cannot divorce!
The laws of the Wei Dynasty did not prohibit male-male marriage, but very few men dared to get married, and most people were unwilling to expose their homosexuality.
Marriage between men has always been considered unacceptable.
Especially a powerful official like Xiahou Yi, who values his reputation the most.
Ning Zishu said softly, "The imperial decree has been issued. Do you want me to disobey it and send my whole family to death? It would be better to discuss it again when we get back."
Ning Lanyin frowned and asked, "Third brother, isn't Xiahou Yi fighting against the Prince of Yudong? How could he have the leisure to ask the emperor to grant you a marriage?"
Ning Zishu gently rubbed his fingertips, "If my guess is correct, I'm afraid that the Prince of Yudong and his rebels are not far from being completely wiped out."
"Or maybe the King of Yudong is no longer something to be feared!"
Ning Zihua's eyes widened when she heard this, "It hasn't been long since we put down the rebellion."
Ning Zishu whispered, "It is true that the Prince of Yudong has been keeping a low profile for many years, but the current emperor is also the heir to the throne carefully cultivated by the late emperor."
"Although His Majesty is young, he is quite capable."
Not to mention that the other party's maternal family and wife's family are powerful, and there is a capable minister like Xiahou Yi to assist him, so His Majesty's throne is secure!
The 300,000 troops under the command of King Yudong were ultimately no match for the entire Wei State.
Ning Zihua looked at him nervously, "Third brother, since the rebellion in the north will be quelled sooner or later, what are your plans for Xiahou Yi?"
Ning Zishu lowered his eyes and looked at the wooden box on the table. He raised his hand to open the box containing the engagement ring and looked at the contents of the box calmly.
There was a piece of bamboo under the exquisite ring, on which four lines of poetry were engraved.
[Twisting the ring brings longing, seeing the ring brings back memories.]
[May you keep playing forever, in an endless cycle.]
The young man's eyes gradually darkened, and his clear eyes were dotted with darkness.
"Let's wait and see. Now is not the right time."
Xiahou Yi is still on the battlefield in the north, so even if he has anything to say, he shouldn't say it now.
But the other party was too hasty in asking for the imperial decree to grant the marriage and sending someone to deliver the ring and marriage certificate. Didn’t they say they would talk about it after the war was over?
Is Xiahou Yi so impatient? !
Actually, it was true. Ever since Xiahou Yi left Quyang County, he had been thinking about Ning Zishu in the rear day and night, but he couldn't get away to find Ning Zishu, so he could only deal with the ambitious King of Yudong every day.
That is why he hated King Yudong so much.
If it weren't for this old guy, he might have taken Ning Zishu home long ago. Why would he have to send love letters to her every day to express his feelings!
Therefore, he beat the King of Yudong with great cruelty, and his movements were so fast that it seemed as if he had pressed the accelerator key.
Xiahou Yi joined forces with several generals to speed up the journey, and successively recovered lost territories in the battles, defeating the King of Yudong and causing the rebels to suffer defeat again and again.
He has now reached the fiefdom of King Yudong.
Xiangyuan City will be their final battlefield.
At this moment, Prince Yudong and his remaining troops were trapped in Xiangyuan City and had nowhere to escape. The only outcome waiting for them was death.
It was at this time that Xiahou Yi could no longer bear the feelings in his heart, so he submitted a petition to the emperor, expressing his willingness to exchange his meritorious service for an imperial decree granting marriage.
The Emperor of Wei readily agreed to Xiahou Yi's request.
Emperors all value balance, so naturally they would not want to allow the Grand Tutor to be promoted again.
Moreover, the Taifu is already of the first rank, and it is difficult to be promoted.
Compared to continuing to promote the Taifu, who has already reached the highest position in the country, to make his power even stronger, it would be better to fulfill the other party's wish.
It’s just that the former Quyang County magistrate was wronged.
But the Emperor of Wei was not a heartless person. Along with the imperial edict granting marriage, there was also an imperial edict promoting Ning Zishu.
Originally, Ning Zishu was transferred from a sixth-rank county magistrate to a fifth-rank councilor of the Ministry of Public Administration, a promotion of two levels in a row, which was also due to his meritorious service in defending the city.
And now Ning Zishu was directly promoted by the emperor to the deputy envoy of the Ministry of Public Security, a fourth-rank official.
The reason for his promotion again was very simple. It came from the compensation from the Emperor of Wei to Ning Zishu, and it was also a reward for the Taifu's contribution to suppressing the rebellion.
