Chapter 266: Essential Chapter 267: Salt and Iron

Just after Ping Zhishou said those words, Zixuan suddenly looked up at the queen and the emperor with a happy heart. Although she couldn't see anything on their faces, she had a strong feeling: the emperor wanted to

She was waiting as if it was Heichi Shou's words. She withdrew her gaze and looked at the Empress Dowager. Seeing that this person who had always been a fool now had a glint in his eyes, she lowered her head again, but she felt awe-inspiring in her heart.

Xiao Qian was ill at such an early stage that he actually left the main hall at this time to avoid matters in the palace, which meant that he avoided the subsequent troubles for the Xiao family. At this time, Ping Zhishou took the initiative to ask for an end to the engagement, and he did not hesitate to offend the emperor.

The Queen Mother was expressing her loyalty to the Emperor for safety.

The emperor punished Ding Yang and Wen Juying so harshly just now. He said it was to vent his anger on Zixuan. It would be better to say that he used Zixuan to stage a chicken-killing drama. Naturally, the four big aristocratic families were the ones jumping up and down to scare him. They had been causing a lot of trouble recently.

The four big monkeys were too cheerful. They suggested to the emperor that they wanted to punish Zixuan. In addition, the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager and others did not like Zixuan. The emperor naturally agreed to this matter - although he did not directly issue an order to punish Zixuan.

What about Zixuan? At least she gave hope to the Ding family, the Wen family, and the four major aristocratic families.

Prince Jin's face was still as cold as ice, while Shui Muxia was still leaning beside Prince Jin carelessly, showing no intention of speaking about the current encounters of the four major families, including what happened to the Xiao family, and he seemed not to want to care.

The Empress Dowager looked at Ping Chishou: "Do you want the Ping family to break off the engagement? Two years." She looked at Prince Jin and lowered his eyelids: "It's the same thing if she goes to Prince Jin's residence to practice Buddhism for two years." There was no absolute in her words.

He would not agree to cancel the engagement, and his anger was just right; how many people in the world would dare to cancel the royal marriage? If Taira Chishou hadn't sensed that something was wrong, he would not have said anything about canceling the engagement.

Ping Zhishou swallowed his saliva: "The eminent monk said that the younger sister should practice at home as a girl for two years, so I had the courage to report it to the Empress Dowager." He didn't want to either. Only the Xiao family among the four aristocratic families is now

Now that things are booming, the Heng family almost depends on the Xiao family for their livelihood. If this continues, how can there be any four great aristocratic families?! Being able to marry Prince Jin, the Heng family will have the possibility of being on an equal footing with the Xiao family, at least

It can restore the reputation of the Heike family.

But today I saw the emperor dismiss Ding Yang and Wen Juying with a few words. You must know that these two people are very close to the emperor: Ding Yang is the emperor's confidant. They grew up together and have a close friendship. They are not other attendants.

People can be compared; it is said that one of the reasons why Ding Yang was favored was that he often did "things" for the emperor. And that Wen Juying was the direct brother of the virtuous concubine, and he was also a very popular figure in the court now, pillow

The wind is really not blowing in vain, but it is not that I have become a white body now.

What does the Heike family have? In the palace, the concubines can provide support for them, and in the court there are people who have become the emperor's confidants, confidants, or capable ministers and officials. However, the Heike family still has a well-known name, which is the world's leader.

As one of the four great aristocratic families that everyone knows, as the saying goes, a big tree attracts wind, how can he gamble with the future of the Taira family? The marriage of Prince Jin has no choice but to give up, in order to restore the prestige of the family and restore the previous style of speaking to hundreds of people in the court.

In the case of a promise, you can also think of another way.

After hearing the words, the Empress Dowager pondered for a while: "I see." She sighed softly: "God bless, Ai's family is tired, so they help Ai's family back to the palace. Prince Jin naturally has the final say in the marriage affairs of Prince Jin - in two years,

In fact, it's not even long." After she finished speaking, she glanced at Prince Jin, just to let Prince Jin accept the matter himself.

Two years, just wait. Prince Jin rarely disobeys her wishes. At this time, it is inconvenient for her to speak directly. Of course, she has to ask Prince Jin to speak. And there is another thing that can be used at this time: "Prince Jin, you are not young.

Now, you can have a side concubine or a concubine without marrying a main concubine; how can you do it if you are always surrounded by men?" After she finished speaking, she glanced at Shui Muxia, and at this time she took Shui Muxia's words as her example.

captured the army of Prince Jin.

It's not that she wants to force Prince Jin to get married, but that Prince Jin has to get married. As Prince Jin's aunt, how can she let him fool around with men? So right now, she is just worried about Prince Jin, rather than having to let the Taira family and Prince Jin get married.

You can't get married. It's really a lot of hard work, and your kindness can be expressed every day.

Shui Muxia looked at the Empress Dowager and smiled and said: "Empress Dowager, since Prince Jin has made the decision on the marriage, of course the prince will do a good job. Don't worry, old man." He didn't care what the Empress Dowager's words implied, anyway.

No one will make it clear, they just need to confirm that the Empress Dowager will leave the marriage to Prince Jin to make the final decision.

Prince Jin looked at Ping Zhishou more simply: "Cancel the engagement." He didn't like to talk too much, and there was no need to talk about this kind of thing. He would not marry Ping's eldest daughter anyway. Now that he had the opportunity to cancel the engagement, he didn't care what the emperor wanted.

No matter what the plan is, of course I have to take the opportunity to cancel the marriage, and then there will be no further involvement in the Heping family.

The Empress Dowager said so many words just to force Prince Jin to agree to the Heng family's marriage, and then she could appoint a concubine or a concubine for Prince Jin. However, Shui Muxia avoided the important and took the easy.

He dismissed most of her money as nonsense and only agreed that "Prince Jin will make the final decision on the marriage." Naturally, she was a little angry when her plan failed.

"It's time for men to get married, and it's time for women to get married." The Empress Dowager looked at Prince Jin: "I think the Empress Dowager also wants you to get married as soon as possible, and she can see her grandchildren as soon as possible. It is most unfilial to have three concubines.

Prince Jin, you can't be too willful." She glanced at Shui Muxia and said, "You friends are just friends. He always needs someone to take care of the affairs in his palace." This was considered a warning.

When it comes to the Dowager Dowager, it is natural to use Prince Jin’s biological mother to threaten Prince Jin: there is only one Grand Dowager who stays in the palace to accompany the Queen Mother, and the others either live with their sons or have already left.

The afterlife is being cultivated in the nunnery.

Shui Muxia didn't let Prince Jin speak, and laughed first: "We are more than just friends, the prince's palace is my home. If there is something too busy for him, as long as the prince asks, I will naturally do it for him." He said.

After saying that, she lowered her head and exhaled like a blue breath: "Do you think so, Your Majesty?" The soft voice made Zixuan immediately get goosebumps all over her body.

Prince Jin glared at Shui Muxia, but did not speak; because his biological mother was involved in the matter, it was not easy to directly have any conflict with the Queen Mother, otherwise the person who would be wronged in the end would be his biological mother. He saw Shui Muxia

After casting a flirtatious look at him, he immediately wanted to slap Fei Shui Muxia, but his heart moved and instead he sat still and let Shui Muxia do whatever he wanted next to him.

Anyway, Shui Muxia is also an unofficial master. As for reputation - what is that? He doesn't care. If Shui Muxia cared, he wouldn't have been so deviant over the years and regarded ethics and education as nothing.

The Empress Dowager did not expect that after she warned Shui Muxia, Shui Muxia would openly "flirt" with Prince Jin in front of her. She immediately relaxed and said: "Muxia, you should be old enough to get married, sorry.

Home..." She wanted to say that I would give you a marriage in Aijia, and you would marry the third girl of the Sima family on a certain day, but she almost lost her breath before she could finish her words.

Shui Muxia said lazily: "Why are you so anxious about getting married? I don't have to be the one to carry on the family line; right now, it's just right for me and my brother, Prince Jin, to be free and happy."

The emperor had not spoken since he had just known that he was going to break off the engagement. He sat there and drank tea, as if the matter in front of him had nothing to do with him; of course, it might also be because the empress dowager was his elder, and now he was just

It was a royal family affair, so he didn't have to worry about it.

Of course, the Queen could not talk too much. She was serving the Queen Mother with fruits. One was eating them sweetly and the other was peeling them carefully. The two of them were very busy and turned a deaf ear to Prince Jin's marriage.

Sima Feng's eyes rolled a few times, and finally he remained silent: of course it had nothing to do with him, so of course he had to keep it a secret; now he was talking about the marriage of Prince Jin and Heping's family, but he had nothing to do with his Sima family, and he didn't want to be dragged along.

Go into the water. At the moment, he is thinking about the emperor's intention.

Zixuan looked at Shui Muxia and wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh. On the contrary, Qian Tianyou didn't say a word since he entered the palace. When the Empress Dowager called him, he moved a few steps, but he was honest and quiet, as if he had changed.

People; this made Zixuan a little worried. She didn’t know whether Qian Tianyou was injured on the head or something happened.

She was thinking about the purpose of Shui Muxia and Prince Jin in doing this to anger the Empress Dowager: if the royal family had the habit of cutting off their sleeves, it would be a big scandal, and Prince Jin's crime was supposedly not a small one; if he failed to do so, the prince would be punished.

It will be thrown away, but Shui Muxia will naturally not harm Prince Jin, and Prince Jin is not that willing to be harmed by others.

The Queen Mother was already angry: "What do you look like?"

Shui Muxia took Prince Jin's hand and played with it: "What do you mean, Empress Dowager?"

"What are you doing?" The Empress Dowager couldn't believe it and was trembling with anger: "Emperor, you saw it and you didn't care about it?"

Shui Muxia hooked Prince Jin's middle finger with her finger: "Hook your finger."

The Empress Dowager hit her with a cane, causing Shui Muxia and Prince Jin to separate: "You are not allowed to meet in the future!" She really couldn't bear to see such a scandal. Although she hated Prince Jin, he was a member of the royal family after all.

So she still couldn't let anyone spread this kind of thing.

Prince Jin raised his eyebrows slightly: "No. There are some things that I cannot do without him." There are indeed many things that Shui Muxia needs to do, but at this time, these words fell in everyone's ears, even if his voice was cold

Even though there is no temperature, it still feels so warm.

Shui Muxia immediately stuck to the edge of Prince Jin's chair again: "Even ordinary people will never miss the prince." The same words came from his mouth, which made people think more than Prince Jin.

Chapter 267 Salt and Iron

The Empress Dowager looked at Shui Muxia and Prince Jin's expressions changing several times, and let out a long breath: "You think this way, you can make the Ai family get your wish in anger, and let you do whatever you want.

Not getting married? The male senior is getting married. You two are not young anymore. If you don’t get married, your parents will always worry about you. How can you bear it?" At the point of rage, she suddenly thought about it and just suppressed her breath.

Lived.

Zixuan felt a little pity. She glanced at the emperor and found that pity flashed in his eyes. Prince Jin and Shui Muxia were still the same, but there was no change in their expressions: one was still cold and the other was still smiling.

Prince Jin suddenly glanced at Shui Muxia, then stood up and said to him: "Empress, I have a lot of marriage affairs for my son and ministers. At the moment, I still ask the emperor to make the decision for the county head of the auxiliary country; besides, the Dayang barbarians are still in the city.

Besides, this matter cannot be delayed for too long, lest people really turn to Dayang Man, wouldn't it be because of enmity with Dayang Man?"

The Empress Dowager looked at Prince Jin: "I don't understand the national affairs. The emperor has the final say." She seemed to have forgotten what she had said about leaving, and slowly sat back down.

The emperor had no choice but to speak: "Are you really going to cancel the engagement with the Taira family?"

Ping Zhishou immediately kowtowed: "Yes. Please forgive me for my sin. I really have no choice." Does he want to get married without breaking off the marriage? God knows how the emperor will make the decision as the head of Fuguo County if they insist on getting married.

And punish the Taira family.

The emperor looked at Prince Jin again: "Uncle?"

"Reconciliation." Prince Jin had never agreed to this marriage.

The emperor nodded: "Okay, since this is what you both mean, this marriage is over; from now on, the marriage of men and women has nothing to do with each other."

Heichishou finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had escaped a disaster, and the Taira family had also escaped a disaster.

"Ping Zhishou, why did your Ping family go from the border to Dongtong and then to the capital to embarrass the head of Fuguo County one after another? Especially Ping Bowen, why did you pretend to convey my will - he is so brave! When did I say that Fuguo will be the king?

The Lord of the country and county is a barbarian spy. When did he tell him to capture the children of the Barbarian King of Dayang and put them in the sky prison? With such a bold move, do you, the Taira family, want to rebel?!" However, the emperor did not let Taira Chishou go, and the marriage was

Even if he retreats, the blame will still fall on the Taira family.

Zixuan immediately saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for making the decision for me and my concubine. Your Majesty is truly a wise king who is rarely seen in this world." She did not forget to sing praises to the emperor and praise him so that he could continue his efforts and not let anyone go today.

Sima Feng's face changed slightly, and he looked at the emperor in disbelief. The most terrifying thought came to his mind: Could it be that the emperor wanted to attack the four major families? Shao Zi, but after the ancestors and the late emperor, the four major families have already

It's not as good as it used to be, so why can't it accommodate the four great families?

Ping Zhishou broke out in a cold sweat. The crime of embarrassing the county leader of Fuguo could be big or small. No matter how big it was, what would it matter? Ping Bowen was dismissed from office, and Ping Zhishou was dismissed from office? Shaozi was a crime of falsely transmitting imperial edicts.

If you seize it, the Taira family will be in great misfortune. This cannot be solved by dismissal from office. Didn't you listen to the emperor's question - do you want to rebel?

"I'm afraid, but I don't dare. I can show my loyalty to the emperor and the court..." He was talking nonsense and didn't know how to distinguish it. His sense of proportion was already messed up.

The emperor ignored him: "Pass the decree to arrest Ping Bowen and hand him over to the three divisions for trial!" He actually sent the Ping family members to the prison like this. Although it was only one person, who knows who will be the Ping family members tomorrow, or two or three days later?
