The ministers came out one after another and knelt down. Liu Zhang did not expect that marrying Xiao Furong would cause such a big reaction, but he had already made the decision in his heart, and he did not think there was anything wrong. Xiao Chuo could be the queen, and Wu Zetian could rule the world. Why did he
If you can't marry Xiao Furong, how about marrying a queen like that in Huanzhu Gege? She has a good manners, but she leads Grandma Rong to play tricks every day. That would be a disaster from heaven and chaos in Yizhou.
All the ministers fell to the ground, Liu Zhang's anger rose sharply, Huo Di stood up, his face was as cold as water: "Are you trying to force me to remonstrate? I don't need anyone to judge my private affairs. I am determined to marry Xiao Furong, no one dares to remonstrate.
, beheaded immediately.”
Liu Zhang drew out his sword and thrust it into the table. The hilt of the sword trembled. The ministers were frightened. After a moment of hesitation, Xu Jing took the lead and stepped aside. The ministers also stood up. Wang Fu and Qin Mi shook their heads and sighed.
He also stood aside, and just when Liu Zhang was about to leave, he saw a person still kneeling in the hall without moving. It was Wang Lei who had been released from prison not long ago.
"Wang Lei, why are you still kneeling there? Do you think my sword is harmful to you?"
Wang Lei knelt down and raised his head: "My lord's sword is sharp, and loyal ministers are not afraid of it. If Xiao Furong is the mistress, my lord's majesty will be completely lost, and he will even lose his virtue to the world. My lord will become the laughing stock of the world. Wang Lei knows that his death is not far away.
To be honest and honest, Xiao Furong is not worthy of being a woman at all."
"That's unreasonable." If Wang Lei was scolding him, it would be fine, but it was Xiao Furong who was scolding Xiao Furong. He uttered vicious and offensive words. Liu Zhang could no longer tolerate it. He pointed at Wang Lei and said sternly: "Come here, drag Wang Lei away."
Go out and kill."
"yes."
The sergeants rushed in immediately. Huang Quan, Wang Fu and others on the side were shocked and knelt down in a hurry. Zhang Ren and other generals also followed suit and begged for mercy: "My lord, although Wang Lei has disobeyed the traitor, he is loyal. Please spare him the death penalty."
"Please, my lord, spare the king the death penalty." All the ministers knelt down and begged.
Liu Zhang held the hilt of the sword in his hand, took a deep breath, calmed down for a while, and said in a deep voice: "I'll put you in jail, and I'll tell you what I heard."
"yes."
The sergeant stepped forward to arrest Wang Lei, but Wang Lei broke away suddenly and shouted loudly: "If the lord insists on having his own way, Wang Lei would rather spatter the red wall with blood. Xiao Furong does not cultivate women's ways and is not worthy of being a woman at all. The lord does not accept loyal advice, and disaster will happen."
Not far."
"Reverse, reverse."
Wang Lei's shouts reached his ears, and Liu Zhang's anger burst out uncontrollably like a torrent. He kicked down the table in front of him, bottles and cans rolled down the steps, and he gasped and shouted: "Come here, will you?"
Wang Lei will be dragged down and beheaded immediately. Anyone who dares to intercede will be guilty of the same crime as Wang Lei."
The hall was solemn and no one dared to speak. At this time, Fazheng came out and paid homage to Liu Zhang: "My lord, my lord's wedding is coming soon. It is not convenient to kill people. Please put Wang Lei in prison temporarily and wait until the wedding is over before executing him."
.”
Liu Zhang returned to the back hall, still angry. He put his hand on his forehead and felt very uncomfortable. He bowed his head and said, "Master, is it important? Do you want me to call Miss Xiao or Miss Huang to come over?"
According to great experience, when Liu Zhang had a headache, Huang Yue could massage and relieve the pain. When Xiao Furong was seen, although she still had a headache, the real pathological headache could be cured without medication.
"Forget it, let me be quiet for a while." Liu Zhang pressed his temples and said to Hao Qiang: "Good general, do you think I made a mistake in marrying Xiao Furong?"
Awesome smiled and said in a rough voice: "I don't know what is right or wrong. From the looks of those civil servants, it seems that the master is wrong, but the girls from my hometown have similar temperaments to Miss Xiao, so I think the master is right."
"I didn't expect that you were the only one who understood me."
Liu Zhang laughed sadly and felt very solemn in his heart. How could he not know the thoughts of the ministers? How could he not know that Xiao Furong's character was not in line with the mistress of Yizhou? Everyone thought he was acting out of emotion. Who else was he thinking in his heart?
Know.
Huang Yue's considerate and virtuous image came to mind. There were some things that I had to do but couldn't mention to anyone. That was the helplessness of being the Lord.
What made Liu Zhang uncomfortable was not only that his true thoughts were not known, but the ministers knelt down to remonstrate with him. With so many ministers so united after he announced that he would marry Xiao Furong, someone must be instigating him. Is it Huang Quan or Fazheng?
If it is Huang Quan, then he has evil intentions, and when the time comes, he can only cut it off ruthlessly.
The scenes of Huang Yue, Qu Tian, and Huang Quan leading Dongzhou soldiers to aid Fucheng at dawn emerged one by one, and Liu Zhang felt his head hurt even more.
Only then did Liu Zhang realize that what Zhou Bujie said was right, and he couldn't do it without trusting others.

In the bamboo forest in the backyard of Mu's Mansion, Xiao Furong was leaning against two bamboos with her sword in her arms, looking at the front with scattered eyes. Zhou Buyi came from behind, sat down next to Xiao Furong, sighed and said: "You should be happy.
Yes, I really didn’t expect adults to be so firm with you. It seems that your adult love is indeed beyond the understanding of a child like me. It’s really stupid for me to weigh my feelings with my heart and my flesh.”
"Happy?" Xiao Furong smiled lonely: "What should I be happy about? Those ministers are right. I have no womanly virtues and no knowledge of general affairs. If you marry me, you will definitely make the world laugh."
"How could you think that?"
"How could I not think so? Are what those ministers said wrong? Before you marry me, I have already caused chaos in the court and forced one of your loyal ministers to face death. If you marry me,
Wouldn’t that cause endless harm?”
Xiao Furong hugged her knees, buried her head, and cried: "No doubt, you know? I'm so sad. I'm sad that I don't have self-awareness. When you mentioned my shortcomings, I should have known that I was not worthy of adults.
, but I didn’t know how to respect myself and asked you to marry me. If you really marry me, I will harm him for the rest of his life."
"Based on your few words, I think you can be the mistress of a state." Zhou Buyi said quietly: "Those civil servants have too much corrupt Confucian ideas. The so-called loyal ministers are just what they think is right.
He is admonished without knowing that he is basically worshiping the precepts. He is wrong without knowing it. He still thinks of himself as having a high moral position. This is respectable and even more hateful.
Furong, I believe that you will be a good wife, and only someone like you is worthy of you. Don’t worry, I will try my best to keep you together. Now it seems that you don’t have to worry about it, and your only
The worry is that there are too many people advising.
As long as you continue as usual and convince those ministers that you cannot become the matron of a state, they will take countermeasures. And because of your relationship, this countermeasure must not be a normal way. As long as they make an unforgivable mistake, we
You can overwhelm them in terms of momentum, and then the pressure from adults will..."
"Stop talking." Xiao Furong interrupted Zhou Buyi loudly: "Buyi, thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it anymore. If I still rely on adults' favor and act arrogantly, I will kill a lot of adults again.
Loyal minister, even if I can marry an adult, why would you put me in such a bad position?
Miss Huang Yue is gentle, considerate and generous. She is a good match for you. My heart will always belong to you. It doesn’t matter whether you marry me or not."
Xiao Furong stood up with her sword and left the bamboo forest, leaving Zhou Buyi sitting alone in the bamboo forest, sighing deeply: "It seems that in this world, it is as big as attacking a city and managing politics, as small as weaving baskets and making bamboo strips.
There are rules and regulations, but there are no rules for the relationship. I, Zhou Buyi, have completely failed this time."
From then on, Zhou Buyi finally found his lifelong goal and spent his whole life to understand the so-called love.
