Rebirth of the Great Power

They didn't have to wait long.

In the next day's court, the figure of King Xin who had just recovered from serious injuries finally appeared.

After discussing the day-to-day court affairs, Xue Chang asked as usual: "My dear friends, is there anything else to report?"

The hall was silent for a while.

Just as the servant was about to shout, "If there is something to do, go to court, if there is nothing to do", Yu Shi Zhongcheng stood up.

"Sir, something has happened."

The duty of the censor is to advise, and the word "impeachment" is what they most often talk about.Recently, the ruling and opposition parties have been peaceful, and the censors have been very free for a while. Today, King Xin has just returned to the court, and the censor Zhongcheng is about to play. Before he can speak, the direction is already very obvious.

Xue Chang and Ji Jin secretly exchanged glances, they are here, they really can't wait.

Censor Zhongcheng said: "I impeached the king of faith. I have not established myself properly, I have not cultivated my personal morality, and I have lived with Mu Yuan, the chief chess officer who is also a man. I have been criticized and abused, and the royal family has been humiliated. Please punish me severely!"

As soon as Yushi Zhongcheng's words fell, several courtiers seconded their opinions one after another, and even the few courtiers who always had different political views on weekdays rarely spoke in unison.

Xue Chang secretly glanced at Ji Jin with a smile and a sense of helplessness: It seems that there are many people in the court who want to see Shen Zhi stumble.

Ji Jin lightly tugged at the corner of his mouth, not paying attention.He has been in the court for so many years, and he has always done business in an official manner, never showing favoritism or showing favoritism.Even the courtiers who stand upright in the court will inevitably be implicated behind their backs. Even if they do not make mistakes, it is inevitable that there will be times when they need to excuse their family members.Even among political opponents, as long as it is not on the big festival, there will be more or less tolerance.Only once the crime falls into the hands of King Xin, there is no room for maneuver, and there are too many people offended.And those courtiers who did not offend, or who were standing upright, did not have extra friendship, and felt that such a trivial crime, based on the importance that the Holy One attached to King Xin, at most meant a small punishment, even the need to intercede nothing.

Therefore, most of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were seconding the imperial censor Zhongcheng's impeachment, and a small part of them looked like they were watching the excitement, and none of them defended King Xin.

Xue Chang waited for them to calm down for a while, and then asked, "I'm sorry? What is it? Did someone see it with their own eyes?"

Censor Zhongcheng choked, and now the entire capital city was buzzing, even the surrounding state capitals had heard about it, how could His Majesty have not heard the news at all.As for what to do with it, isn't this everyone's tacit understanding?How can someone answer such a detailed question?

Seeing that Yu Shi Zhongcheng's face turned red, His Majesty still refused to let go, and asked: "Since Zuo Qing has been impeached, it must be very clear, right? Let's talk about it in detail."

Yu Shi Zhongcheng Zuo Ying secretly glanced at the friend who was filled with righteous indignation when he came to his house yesterday, but now he lowered his head and did not dare to give him a look, and suddenly felt that he was cheated.

It's a pity that it's hard to get off the horse this time. His Majesty is still waiting for his answer, so he can only bite the bullet and say: "It's not necessarily groundless. Since there are such rumors, there must be a reason for the incident. What's more, these days, if Chief Mu enters and exits Prince Xin's mansion, if you wait , Many people have seen it with their own eyes. As for how to get along, minister, don’t say anything wrong, you can’t say it.”

In the end, it was all a shame.

Xue Chang let out a soft snort, and turned his eyes to lie down: "What about you? Is there anything else you want to add?"

The courtiers who had seconded the proposal just now immediately lowered their heads, and some even wished they could step back again, for fear of being called by His Majesty.It is enough to follow the second proposal and watch the excitement of King Xin, and of course it would be better to see King Xin lose his composure.But it's really not worthwhile to be an early bird and try to offend Xin Wang on the face of it just to give him such a big or small, dispensable stigma.Only an upright person like Yu Shi Zhongcheng would be urged to impeach, and most of the courtiers are good at it.

It's a pity that King Xin didn't change his face from the beginning to the end, as if he wasn't the one who was impeached, and His Majesty was more obviously on the side of King Xin.

In fact, Ji Jin was not impeached many times, even in the years when his wrist was the strongest.

Although King Xin didn't care about human feelings and offended many people, he was always just, without exception.He himself is very upright, never makes mistakes, is not greedy or gambles, has no special hobbies except Go, has no wives, no concubines, and is not sexually attracted to women, not even male sexually before.There is no wife's family, and the mother's family is far away in Ganzhou, the border. They are not close to their father's Ji family, and they are strictly restrained.Two or three years ago, in order to force Wang to believe in favoritism, someone deliberately set up a trap to hook a young and inexperienced member of the Ji clan into making a mistake. After pleading for mercy, King Xin did not show favoritism, but sent the person to the frontier according to the heaviest punishment for the incident involved.Since then, the Ji family has stricter constraints on the children, and the relationship between King Xin and the clan has reached a freezing point, except for the patriarch.

As for friends, apart from His Majesty, King Xin doesn't even have any peers who are acquainted with each other.

This person used to live like a loner.

After so many years among the children of the Ji clan, King Xin was impeached by the officials again. People can't help but forget that the last time King Xin was impeached was also so expressionless.

Seeing the silence under the hall, Xue Chang couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, nodded and said, "Since all the lovers have nothing to add, I do have something to say here."

Xue Chang paused on purpose, and noticed that although the ministers did not speak again, they all pricked up their ears.

Xue Chang also found it a little funny, and continued: "A few days ago, King Xin had told me about his relationship with Chief Mu. Their relationship is not as bad as the rumors say, but they are upright and happy. I appreciate their sincerity in breaking through the shackles of the world and bravely expressing love, and I have decided to marry them. Since Zuo Qing mentioned these rumors at the court today, I will explain it to all the ministers on behalf of King Xin. Maybe it will be When Xin Wang is getting married, he will also invite all the lovers to come to have a glass of wedding wine."

Like a drop of hot oil falling into the water, the court that had been silent for a while now boiled again.

This time, it was Doctor Guanglu who spoke first: "This...Your Majesty, it is against the rules and regulations for a man to fall in love with a man, and it is too much to give a marriage..."

Someone uttered the first sound, followed by others.

Tai Changqing: "It is indeed inappropriate. Since ancient times, the intercourse of yin and yang has been the law of heaven. If you go against the sky, you are afraid that it will lead to disaster."

Shaofu supervisor: "It's unprecedented for a man to marry a man. If you add a marriage gift, I'm afraid it will follow the example and mess up the norms of human relations."

……

Minister of the Ministry of Rites thought about it, although he didn't think much about Gang Chang's ethics, but if the marriage was successful, the wedding would be arranged by the Ministry of Rites at that time, and he was not mentally prepared for how to marry a man to the prince , I feel a headache when I think about it, I should let His Majesty kill this idea in the cradle quickly, so I also stood up and said: "There has never been a precedent for marrying a man's wife since ancient times, and it is unreasonable. Please take it back."

Although he thought that there would be voices of opposition, Xue Chang did not expect the voices to be so loud, and the mouths of these officials are really amazing.

At this time, Ji Jin, who had been keeping his composure all along, stood up: "I am really ashamed to go to such great lengths for my private affairs. Your Majesty, why don't you stop here today."

After receiving Ji Jin's hint, Xue Chang said: "Alright, I understand that it will be difficult for you dear friends to turn the corner for a while, so I will give you some time. We will discuss this matter later, let's make it three times today."

Someone else wanted to say something, but they swallowed it with the servant's loud "Back to the court".

In the imperial study room, Xue Chang was a little out of breath. He even drank three cups of herbal tea to suppress his anger, pointed in the direction of the main hall and said angrily: "These people, when discussing important matters, have never seen them be so active. Everyone is working hard on private affairs. It is not enough to dictate to my harem, and now even your Xinwang Palace has to intervene."

Ji Jin smiled lightly, added another cup of tea to Xue Chang calmly, and said, "It's really unprecedented for a man to marry a man, and to give him a marriage. It's no wonder they reacted so strongly. We need to give some time to let people slowly Accept it."

Xue Chang took another gulp from the teacup and sighed: "I think there will be another topic in Beijing after today. If the marriage fails, then Mu Yunzhi will probably have another level of criticism."

Ji Jin put the teapot down lightly, but his eyes were extremely firm: "It will definitely be done."

Xue Chang thought for a while and said seriously: "Shenzhi, don't worry, I will definitely take care of this matter for you. Even if you want to risk the world's displeasure, or be called a foolish king, I will definitely give you this marriage."

Ji Jin was quite moved: "Your Majesty..."

Xue Chang patted him on the shoulder: "Shenzhi doesn't need to say anything. For so many years, Shenzhi has always stood in front of me, not only for my sharp sword, but also for my sword and shield. , blocked all the harm for me, and even almost lost my life several times. I have always remembered it in my heart, and I have never forgotten it for a moment. It’s just that Shenzhi has never asked for anything before, and I don’t know what I can do for you. It’s rare for Shenzhi to do it now. Please let me be your sharp sword once."

Ji Jin had to interrupt His Majesty's self-motivation: "Your Majesty, actually, I want to say that I have my own way to solve this matter."

Xue Chang fell silent immediately, picked up the teacup and took a sip to cover up the sudden embarrassment: "How to solve the desire for caution?"

Ji Jin smiled: "We will see the outcome tomorrow. However," Ji Jin looked at Xue Chang sincerely, "Shen Zhi was very moved by His Majesty's words. Shen Zhi respects and protects His Majesty, that is Shen Zhi as a subject Your Majesty always trusts and protects Shenzhi, this is His Majesty's great love for Shenzhi."

Xue Chang blushed unknowingly, turned his head slightly, and whispered to himself: "How can Shen Zhi be just a courtier? Shen Zhi is a brother, a close friend!"

On the second day, when Xue Chang brought up the matter of giving the marriage again in the court hall, it was Guojiu who stood up first.

Xie Yunwen, the uncle of the country, is the prince and tutor, and the minister is Zuo Pushe. He is the uncle of the current emperor and the younger brother of the empress dowager.Since His Majesty was born, he has been his staunchest supporter, and he is also the most powerful courtier besides King Xin in the court today.Unlike Xin Wang, he is not alone, but has a group of courtiers who look to him as the leader. He is the largest number of all parties and has the most say.

Although Uncle Guo has a general friendship with King Xin, he has always supported His Majesty's decisions, so there is almost no disagreement with King Xin in terms of political opinions.However, the strange thing is that Uncle Guo disliked the king in every possible way, and seized every opportunity he could seize to confront him.Things like today that are not related to government affairs but related to Xin Wang are the most merciless opportunities for Uncle Guo to target.Tai Changqing, who was the first to stand up against the marriage offer yesterday, was from Uncle Guo's faction.

Therefore, seeing Uncle Guo was the first one to stand up today, all the officials thought that there would be more fierce opposition than yesterday's court.

However, to everyone's surprise, including Xue Chang, Uncle Guo stood up and said: "I think that true love is rare. If a man falls in love with a man, he would have to bear more criticism. If it weren't for the deep love, How can you risk the world's unhappiness to get married. Although there are general ethics and laws and rituals, there should be tolerance outside the law. The stereotypes can be broken, and lovers should be fulfilled. I support your majesty in granting the marriage letter to the king and chief Mu, and wish The prince and Chief Mu have white hair and join hands, never leave, and become a model of lovers in the world."

As Uncle Guo spoke, he cast a deep look at Ji Jin, and Ji Jin responded with a smile.

Except for Uncle Guo and Ji Jin, everyone in the hall was a little confused.

What Xue Chang thought was: Shenzhi can actually convince his uncle?How did you do it?Of course he knew that his uncle had always disliked being cautious. Although he didn't know the reason, it would be good if he didn't make trouble in this matter. To be able to support him was as rare as the sunrise in the west.Be careful, it's really very human!

Among the ministers, no matter whether they belonged to Uncle Guo's faction or not, they couldn't figure out which song was sung today.However, although the courtiers who have always been in the same spirit as Uncle Guo don't understand why Uncle Guo's attitude has changed so much overnight, it is inevitable to follow subconsciously, let alone let others see that they didn't know in advance. Affection.

Therefore, not long after Uncle Guo's voice fell behind, a group of courtiers echoed his words.

Those neutral factions who originally held an attitude of neither opposing nor supporting, saw that Uncle Guo had stood up to believe in the king, and these two most powerful courtiers at the time had joined forces, so they had to keep up, so they quickly expressed support.

As for those who really wanted to oppose, when they came back to their senses, they saw that only a few people hadn't expressed their views, and the general trend had long since passed, so they stopped struggling.

Yesterday was a headache caused by so many objections, but today it was resolved so quickly, Xue Chang felt a little lonely while relaxing.

Naturally, Chaohou still has to pull Shenzhi to solve his doubts.

Xue Chang cut to the chase: "Shenzhi, tell me quickly, how did you convince uncle?"

Ji Jin smiled and told him the story in detail.

Xie Yunwen was a little surprised when Wang Xin visited the uncle's mansion last night when he received the name card, but it wasn't particularly surprising.The surprise is naturally because King Xin has never visited the mansion for so many years, not to mention the uncle's mansion, I am afraid that King Xin has never set foot in the mansion of any important minister in the court.As for not being particularly surprised, he could also think of the reason for King Xin's visit. He knew as well as King Xin that the matter of giving a marriage could be big or small. If King Xin wanted to get what he wanted, the easiest solution was of course to get his own support.Since King Xin was able to come to the door, he must think he was sure, and Xie Yunwen also wanted to know how he would convince himself.

Uncle Guo had expected it right, the purpose of Xin Wang Kuiye's visit was naturally for the matter of the marriage that His Majesty mentioned today.

Ji Jin said bluntly: "Uncle must be able to guess what is the so-called coming here at night."

Xie Yunwen didn't beat around the bush either: "My lord, I hope I can support His Majesty's offer of marriage."

Ji Jin smiled: "Ming people don't speak secretly, that's exactly the case."

Xie Yunwen shook his clothes, sat down and said: "My lord, why don't you tell me why you want to support me?"

Ji Jin said: "Uncle has always disliked this king, and this king also understands why. Since the founding of Daqi Dynasty, my Ji family has successively held the position of Xinwang, assisting the current life, holding such great power in my hand, that I can be regarded as one person. Uncle never believed that Ji family was loyal, worried that we would have wolfish ambitions, even if this king puts himself on top of a cone, uncle is still worried."

Xie Yunwen did not deny it: "In this world, how many people can resist the temptation of power? People with the same surname will inevitably fight against each other, so how can you rest assured of a person with a different surname. Even if you are an exception, prince, how can you guarantee that it will be like this from generation to generation? "

Ji Jin nodded: "I can't."

Xie Yunwen sneered: "My lord is magnanimous. So..."

Without waiting for him to continue, Ji Jin interrupted: "If, there will be no more generations?"

Xie Yunwen was startled, the teacup in his hand jumped, his eyes swept over severely: "What does your lord mean?"

Ji Jin calmly said: "This king and Chief Mu really love each other. Apart from him, this king will never have another person in this life. Uncle may not know that His Majesty's gift of marriage is to give this king his marriage to Chief Mu. That’s right, this king is married off. Therefore, there is no concubine Xin, not even a male concubine, let alone a side concubine or concubine. Even a step-nephew is surnamed Mu, not Ji. Xinwang The rank of title, until the end of this king."

Xie Yunwen pondered for a long time, finally took a deep breath, and asked: "It's incredible that the prince can do so much for love."

Ji Jin smiled: "Uncle is wrong. This king didn't just have this idea, but has always had this idea. However, even if this king said that in the past, who would believe it? Does uncle believe it? "

Xie Yunwen shook his head: "I know the prince is a gentleman, and he never lies. It's just that this matter is too big!"

Ji Jin continued: "Now, as long as this king's marriage becomes an established fact, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. If this king wants to go back on his word in the future, this marriage gift will be the most advantageous weapon in my uncle's hands. "

Xie Yunwen looked over with something unknown: "My lord is a terrible opponent, but also a respectable opponent. My lord has already convinced me. I'm afraid that from now on, my guild will be more urgent than my lord to promote this marriage." .”

Ji Jin smiled: "We have never, never had to be real opponents."

Xie Yunwen nodded: "It's just that even if the prince is willing to do so, can the Ji family accept it?"

Ji Jin raised his eyebrows: "This is the king's business."

Xie Yunwen thought for a while, then pondered: "My lord, I probably understand. Your lord's courage is admirable."

Now that the matter has been settled, Ji Jin didn't stay any longer, stood up and said: "Then, I will leave it to uncle tomorrow."

Xie Yunwen said: "Although I don't really want to say that, but, my lord, don't worry, there will be no mistakes in this matter, and no more mistakes will be allowed."

After hearing this, Xue Chang pondered for a long time.

Ji Jin sipped his tea slowly, waiting for him to understand.

Finally, Xue Chang said sullenly: "Be careful, when did you make such a decision?"

Ji Jin put down his teacup, and said slowly: "Probably, it was after my father passed away in depression."

Xue Chang paused, and then said: "It's the father, who didn't cherish the former King Xin."

Ji Jin sighed: "When they were young, they trusted each other, supported each other, shared life and death, and shared adversity like you and me. It's just that power is both intoxicating and frightening. Not every emperor , can be like Ming Yan's heart like a mirror, clean and dust-free. Besides, I can't guarantee that every subsequent generation of Xinwang will be as loyal and unwavering as my ancestors and me. If it really comes out Having an unworthy descendant is not only a disaster for the Ji family, but also a disaster for Da Qi. Now that the imperial power is stable and all the ministers are loyal, there is no need for a Xin Wang anymore."

Xue Chang let out a breath and forced a smile: "Fortunately, I was cautious. It's a pity that Guangchen will not have his Xinwang."

Ji Jin comforted him with a smile: "Guangchen has a father like you, an uncle like me, and a tutor like uncle, he will be a wise king."

Xue Chang puffed up his chest, and when he mentioned his beloved eldest son, he was quite proud of being a father: "In the future, let Guangchen call Shen Zhi Wangfu, and after a hundred years, let Guangchen also wear hemp for you."

Ji Jin smiled: "Guang Chen must agree."

Xue Chang said solemnly: "Guangchen will agree." Just like that, half of his sons were sent out.

Xue Chang thought for a while, and then said: "Then, how should Shen Zhi explain to the clansmen?"

Ji Jin was silent for a while, but said: "Actually, members of my Ji clan also have many promising children. In the future, the government and the public will have their own world."

Xue Chang nodded: "Shenzhi is right."

That day, Mu Yuan made a special trip back to Mu's mansion, where he received the imperial edict of marriage.

After the edict passer-in-law left, Mu Qian was teaching the edict to Mu Yuan: "Yuaner, you keep this edict well, don't damage it and lose it."

Mu Yuan took it with both hands, and said respectfully: "Yes, my child understands."

Mu Qian said with emotion: "I didn't expect the prince to handle things so quickly. Yesterday, I heard that the Jinluan Palace had quarreled for a long time about His Majesty's marriage. I didn't expect that the imperial decree was issued today."

Mu Yuan smiled, with pride in his eyes that couldn't be hidden: "What Shen Zhi is determined to do, he can definitely do."

Mu Qian's face was a bit strange: "The Holy Majesty actually agreed, and clearly stated in the imperial decree that he will marry the prince to you."

Mu Yuan clenched the imperial decree: "Shen Zhi must have asked for this. Shen Zhi did this for the sake of my reputation."

Mu Qianzheng patted him on the shoulder: "Your Majesty has worked so hard. My son, although you can definitely do it, as a father, you still have to say: You can't be burdened!"

Mu Yuan nodded: "Father, don't worry. Both Shenzhi and I have such confidence."

Mu Hong and Mu Yushang also surrounded him.

Mu Yushang's eyes widened: "What do father and elder brother mean? Is the prince going to marry the elder brother? Isn't the elder brother marrying the prince?"

Mu Yuan smiled and said: "Marriage is just a rhetoric, there has never been a distinction between Shen Zhi and I."

Mu Yushang grinned: "I don't care about that Yushang. Then can I call the prince 'sister-in-law' from now on?"

Mu Yuan patted her forehead lightly, and scolded with a smile: "Brother Ji, or the prince. You are not allowed to mention the word 'sister-in-law' in front of Shen Zhi in the future."

Mu Yushang put his hands on his forehead, stuck out his tongue on purpose, and said, "You haven't married yet, how did your elder brother protect you so soon?"

Mu Hong gloated at the side and said, "I want to tell Brother Ji that my younger sister calls him 'sister-in-law' in private, and see if Brother Ji will give you a little red horse."

Mu Yushang made a grimace: "Brother Ji is not a person who doesn't count his words. Besides, the person who broke the law now is the second brother, so I'm going to sue."

Mu Yuan shuddered alone: ​​"That's enough, don't talk about either of them."

Mu Qianzheng and his wife looked at each other and smiled as they watched the noisy children in the courtyard.

Overnight, His Majesty spread the news that King Xin bestowed marriage to Chief Mu all over the streets and alleys, which was even more exciting than secretly insinuating the relationship between King Xin and Chief Mu.After all, this is officially stamped, and it is still the most authoritative royal family.Besides, giving marriage to two men, not to mention Da Qi, even how many dynasties are counted forward, it is not a matter.

Not only did the majority of the common people think that this first encounter in the world was not absurd, but they felt that the marriage was a good gift, and His Majesty was not only wise, but also very enlightened.

There are even some folks who are in love with men. Originally, they could only yearn secretly, but now they have the courage to confess to their families. There are even a few who ask their elders to propose marriage.

This caused the registration of household registration and marriage officials a lot of headaches.If you agree, there is no such precedent among the people; if you disagree, His Majesty just married two men.If he refused all at once, he might be able to sue him to the imperial court.After much deliberation, I had no choice but to report it, and leave the headache to the leader.So it was reported layer by layer, and finally went straight to Tianting.

Xue Chang threw the report in front of Ji Jin, and said with a smile, "Careful, this is the present report, you see how to deal with it."

Ji Jin took it over and took a look, then smiled: "The marriage between a man and a man needs to bear more. If it is just a momentary impulse, it is unnecessary. Your Majesty might as well issue a decree. If you really want to marry a man, Both parties need to be voluntary, and they can only marry in the open, and they cannot be detained in the backyard on the grounds of a man and a wife. After marriage, both of them are not allowed to take concubines, and they can only adopt if they need children. Both have the right to inherit property. And so on, it is more strict conditions. If so, if you still want to get married, it must be true love, and it will be fulfilled."

Xue Chang said with a smile: "I am afraid that the item of a single heir will discourage many people from recognizing it."

Ji Jin raised his eyebrows: "So what? Since you want to break the barrier, you will have to pay some price. If you want to fulfill your wish, but don't want to give in, there is no such thing as cheap."

Of course, these are all things for later.

On the night when the marriage decree was issued, the patriarch of the Ji clan visited Prince Xin's Mansion.

Ji Jin had been waiting long ago and invited him to the study.

The third uncle drank a few cups of tea and opened his mouth several times, but he hesitated to speak.

Ji Jin opened his mouth first and said, "Third Uncle came here this time for the purpose of bestowing a marriage today."

If someone speaks, it's easy to say.

The third uncle frowned and said, "What exactly is Shen Zhi thinking? Why did you make such a decision?"

The patriarch, including all members of the Ji family, knew about this grandnephew's ability. If it was said that the imperial decree was intended by His Majesty or Chief Mu, they would not believe it, and it must be Ji Jin's request.

Ji Jin said frankly: "Yun Zhi and I have been in love with each other for a long time, and we already had a promise to marry each other. The marriage is just to make our name more legitimate."

The third uncle opened and closed his mouth several times, and finally said: "That's not necessary, it's not necessary, I will marry you. Let that Chief Mu marry me, you are the king of faith."

Ji Jin lowered his eyes and smiled: "To tell you the truth, third uncle, in fact, I had no intention of marrying a wife. If it weren't for Yun Zhi, I would probably end up alone forever."

The third uncle was very shocked: "What does Shen Zhi mean by this?"

Ji Jin said lightly: "I don't want to, and I can't have an heir. Letting me marry is also a kind of statement. Believe in the king, it's enough for my generation!"

The third uncle stood up suddenly, and said in a panic, "Why did Shen Zhi say that? What do you mean King Xin is enough for your generation?"

"Third Uncle," Ji Jin called out heavily, "You have always understood in your heart that believing in the king is an honor and even a shackle to my Ji family. For so many years, our Ji family has worked hard for this title. Haven't you sacrificed enough? The Ji family has so many outstanding sons and daughters. In order not to lose their lives, they all keep a low profile and hide their talents. No matter how ambitious they are, they can only take the road of joining the army. Chengjue can only guard the border all year round. And Chengzhi, knowing that he was framed, but I can only send him away from a distance, so that he has a family and cannot return, and seven uncles and seven aunts..." Ji Jin Taking a deep breath, he didn't continue, "Enough is enough!"

The third uncle had tears in his eyes: "Child, no one, no one blames you! Chengzhi was too young and ignorant to fall into other people's traps, and it's because adults didn't take him seriously. Besides, didn't you entrust your grandfather Does your family take care of Chengzhi? Now I heard that he has made a lot of progress in the border. Your seven uncles and seven aunts have long since stopped blaming you. The clan seldom interacts with you because they are afraid that you will make things difficult."

"I understand." Ji Jin supported the old man, forced a smile, "I know that the tribe is also for my own good. In fact, my father had such an idea back then, but he couldn't make up his mind, so let me do it. Even if Yes, to fulfill my selfishness."

"Son, if you are really selfish, why are you doing this! After all these years, since your father left, I haven't seen you really smile." The third uncle wiped his eyes, "For the sake of the tribe, for the sake of Daqi, I have suffered for you gone."

Ji Jin smiled very gently: "Nowadays, I'm not afraid of third uncle's jokes, Shenzhi really has selfish intentions. Not only for me and Yun Zhi, but also for our clansmen. From now on, my descendants of the Ji family don't have to hide As long as they have the ability, if they want to become a general or become a prime minister, they can earn their own fame and title. But, remember my ancestral motto of the Ji family: Loyal to the emperor and patriotic, the first to come first! Never allow adultery, Bullying."

The third uncle nodded: "If you are cautious, the third uncle will tell everyone."

Ji Jin tied the cloak on for the third uncle: "It's getting late, I'll send the third uncle back, let's rest earlier."

The third uncle asked him to take a few steps outside, and suddenly patted the back of his hand: "That boy, I mean Chief Mu, looks good."

There was tenderness in Ji Jin's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Third Uncle only saw Yun Zhi, so he is so sure?"

The third uncle chuckled: "Shen Zhi's vision can be wrong? Besides, although your third uncle is old, he is not so old. Tell Shen Zhi quietly that many children in the clan like to play around when they are free. Go, I admire that Mu Da national player very much."

Ji Jin's pride and satisfaction from the heart: "Yun Zhi is not only good at chess, but also a better person. Then, someday, I will take him to the clan to have a look?"

"I want it." The third uncle said openly, "When you are married, we will open the ancestral hall and record the child's name in the family tree."

"This," Ji Jin hesitated, "is it okay?"

"There's nothing wrong with it!" Third Uncle rolled his eyes vigorously, "Chen Zhi can even give up this title for the sake of his clansmen. It's such a big deal to record his name on the genealogy."

"Okay, thank you third uncle first." Ji Jin pursed his lips and smiled, but thought in his heart: At that time, write "Wang Zheng" next to "Mu Yuan" and call it an alias.That cloud is really and completely mine.Whether it's past life or this life, I want it!

During this period of time, Mu Yuan has already endured all kinds of gazes at the imperial edict office, and it is an honor that others can't imagine for unexpectedly changing them every once in a while.

A few days ago, even if they didn't say anything, they would inevitably sneer in their hearts, but now looking at Mu Yuan, there is nothing left but admiration.After all, if the confinement of King Xin can make people envy and hate, then the husband-to-be can only be looked up to.This twists and turns, the twists and turns of the plot is even more unavoidable to make people sigh a legend.

Mu Yunzhi is indeed very human!As expected of an undefeated man!

On the second day after the marriage decree was issued, and then entered the waiting room, the eyes that greeted Mu Yuan no longer flickered, and everyone who saw him came over one after another, clasped their fists and smiled, "Chief Mu, congratulations."

"Chairman Mu, congratulations, when is the wedding date? Don't forget to treat everyone to a glass of wedding wine then."

Mu Yuan answered the salutes one by one, answering every question: "The wedding date has not yet been set, and the Qin Tianjian is watching the date, and we will choose when we are optimistic."

After dealing with the pleasantries, Mu Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Shiyuan stood aside and looked at him, couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Mu, are you tired now? There will be more scenes like this in the future."

Mu Yuan sighed: "Brother Cheng, stop laughing at me."

Cheng Shiyuan patted him on the shoulder, and joked: "How dare you, how can Brother Mu be so capable?"

Mu Yuan shook his head, not daring to say any more.

Cheng Shiyuan said seriously: "To be honest, I admire Brother Mu's courage, as well as King Xin."

Mu Yuan's heart moved: "Brother Cheng, did you express your feelings?"

Cheng Shiyuan nodded: "Brother Mu probably heard about my affair with Miss Hongling from Baiyulou."

Mu Yuan nodded, it was the first and only time he had heard about it as soon as he returned to Baiyulou, and it was Cheng Shiyuan's only love affair.

Cheng Shiyuan was a little embarrassed: "I'm not afraid of brother Mu's jokes, I have some sincerity towards Hongling. For so many years, even though she was in Baiyulou, I was the only one. I even thought about taking her into the mansion, but when I thought about her background, I was afraid The family objected, so it has been delayed until today. For some reason, when I heard about Brother Mu, I thought of her."

Mu Yuan thought for a while, and said: "Having concerns may not be all bad things. However, if Brother Cheng really has the heart, you might as well make a decision earlier. After all, youth is easy to grow old, and youth is easy to pass away. Don't let a sincere girl wait too long .No matter the good times or the bad times, always give a result.”

Cheng Shiyuan was a little embarrassed: "After hearing what you said, Mao Sai suddenly understood. Thank you, Brother Mu."

Mu Yuan waved his hand: "You don't need to thank me. Brother Cheng himself has already figured it out, but it's just a missed opportunity."

"Okay, it seems that brother Mu is busy today, so I won't occupy you." Cheng Shiyuan patted him, smiled and walked away.

Waiting at the side was Lu Zijun with a blushing face. This young man with peach blossom eyes looked shy and shy. Those who didn't know almost thought that he was interested in Chief Mu and was going to compete with King Xin.

Mu Yuan greeted him: "Zijun."

Lu Zijun said "Congratulations, brother Yunzhi", then lowered his head shyly.

Mu Yuan couldn't laugh or cry, this Lu Zijun became more and more awkward when it comes to emotional matters, but the younger sister has become more and more lively and generous recently, which is quite different from the shy and reserved look of a small family jade in Qiantang before.These two people, with such a contrast, are they really a good match?Mu Yuan couldn't help becoming suspicious.

Lu Zijun raised his head with great difficulty, and tentatively said: "The two elders of the family just came to Beijing recently, and I have told them everything, and my father and mother promised me to ask someone to come and ask. I don't know, I don't know..."

Mu Yuan smiled: "A few days ago, I also revealed some rumors to my father. My father asked some things about Zijun, and he was quite satisfied. It's just that the family loves the younger sister, whether it can be done or not, the younger sister has to say It's up to you."

Lu Zijun suddenly became more nervous: "Then, where is Miss Namu...Brother Yun Zhi, is it convenient for you to find out for me?" His face turned pale as he spoke
