Wishful Things

"It's actually very simple to dispel the emperor's suspicion. According to Zhaozhao's view, what is the emperor most afraid of when the Xu and Wu families are married?" Duke Zhen asked as if he wanted to teach her something more.

Xu Mingyi lowered his voice a little: "Naturally, if the forces of the Xu and Wu families are brought together in one place, it will change the sky in Daqing."

Although she knows that the Duke of Zhenguo is loyal, will the emperor believe it?

"Then I will take the initiative to hand over the military power, will the emperor still have this taboo?" Duke Zhen stroked his beard, his face was as usual, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter.

However, these words seemed to explode a thunder in Xu Mingyi's heart.

War right? !

"Are you going to exchange military power for the emperor to grant me a marriage?" Xu Mingyi looked at the old man beside him in disbelief.

Zhen Guogong shook his head in disapproval, his eyes were kind and gentle: "It can't be said to be an exchange. I have thought about this matter for a long time. Our Zhen Guogong's mansion is not as deep as the foundation of the century-old Wu family. This military power has been too long. Holding it in your hand may not be a good thing."

He never even mentioned this idea to his sons, but he told his granddaughter tonight.

"You are for me!"

Xu Mingyi's voice was extremely muffled, and tears filled his eyes almost instantly.

If it wasn't for her marriage, grandfather would not have chosen to hand over military power at this time!

If it was just thinking about it before, it was because she really made up her mind——

She couldn't bear it any longer, and she turned her head to the old man's still broad shoulders, stretched out her arms to hug him, tears came silently but turbulently.

Now she finally knows why the previous emperor agreed to marry her!

... She only knows now!

"You child, why are you crying..." Lord Zhen patted her trembling back in a hurry, "What's wrong with this? Grandfather is getting old, and it should be time for him to retire. Human life In this world, it is imperative to make decisions, and in this way, our Zhen Guogong Mansion can truly be stabilized..."

Xu Mingyi's tears flowed even more fiercely.

It turned out that my grandfather had always been on guard and uneasy, and he made a decisive decision, but this decision did not save the town government as he thought...

When a person is alive and needs to make a choice, he can only think about it as much as possible, but he cannot predict what will happen after the choice is made.

If she hadn't come back to life again, she would probably feel that her grandfather's decision was wise and decisive - after all, in the history books, there are many powerful ministers and vassal kings who 'don't know how to advance and retreat', so there are many people who have caused murder.

However, the so-called "wiseness" depends on the situation and the person.

Once the judgment is wrong, it will be beyond redemption.

"Grandfather, the military power cannot be handed over."

Xu Mingyi held back the remaining tears, and raised his head to look at Duke Zhen: "The soldiers under your command are almost all old people who have been by your side from birth to death! What is in your hands is that you first overcame all difficulties and recruited one place. With your reputation, you have grown little by little! Before the first emperor ascended the throne, there was an army of the Xu family! Those are the soldiers of our Xu family, why should we hand them over? !"

She knew that these words could be called treasonous, enough to destroy the nine clans.

However, she has witnessed a tragedy in which a tiger that had severed its claws to show its loyalty was still locked in a cage and executed!

In some people's eyes, the tiger's severed claws do not represent loyalty, but that they no longer need to be afraid of being hurt by those claws when they move their hands - so the grandfather handed over the military power for a year, and Xu's family was full of people. copy cut.

Duke Zhen's expression changed after hearing this.

"Zhao Zhao, some things really shouldn't be said indiscriminately..."

What kind of military power belongs to the Xu family and not to the imperial court? Just know this kind of thing in your heart, isn't it fatal if you say it?

Besides, is there anything in the world that can be yours forever?

It is your own, do you have the ability to hold it in your hand for a long time?

It's too heavy, and one day it won't be able to hold it.

Duke Zhen sighed heavily in his heart.

"Grandfather, I know you have your thoughts."

Xu Mingyi tried his best to sound calm and rational: "But have you ever thought about leaving yourself a way out? As for the Wu family, the granddaughter will never marry."

Doing so will only make the two more eye-catching.

Because of the differences in the Xu family's army, and now that Daqing is facing internal and external troubles, the imperial court has been unable to 'take back' grandfather's military power for a long time.

And the experience of her previous life told her that in the eyes of some people, it was not what her grandfather did that was wrong—no matter what her grandfather did, it was always wrong. Because, the existence of him, the government of Zhen Guo and Xu Jiajun was originally 'wrong'.

Since the end is the same anyway, it is better to prepare for the worst and retain the strength to give it a go.

"But Mr. Yao's hexagram..."

"Grandfather, I am really afraid of death." Xu Mingyi looked at him with red eyes, "but I am afraid of dying alone."

Zhen Guogong looked at his granddaughter in surprise.

...What does this mean?

After Xu Mingyi finished speaking, she also felt that these words seemed ambiguous, as if even if she died, she would have to be buried with others...

"I said, don't be angry. My granddaughter thinks that in the current situation, what Mr. Yao predicts may not necessarily be the catastrophe of the granddaughter alone. If the granddaughter gets married and escapes the catastrophe, the Duke of Zhenguo will What should I do if something happened to the government?"

Now she needs to speak more bluntly and seriously in order to make her grandfather more defensive and change his decision.

At least, he can think more.

"This..." Zhen Guogong's face changed a few times, from the beginning when he thought the child's unscrupulous words were a bit funny to his face gradually becoming serious.

"What's more, it's impossible to make a happy event. Liu Yi has been taken away by the government, at least tomorrow, the news that she poisoned me will spread throughout the capital."

"Why did you report to the official?!" Duke Zhen was taken aback.

Xu Mingyi gave a general account of her conversation with Cui Shi.

Zhen Guogong was in a complicated mood when he heard it.

It's a good thing for his daughter-in-law and granddaughter to be thoughtful... But at this moment, he really couldn't make himself feel happy or comforted.

Without illness, naturally there is no reason to be happy.

Under such circumstances, it would not make sense for him to ask the emperor for a marriage.

Even if the military power is exchanged, it can't be done too strangely, otherwise it would be better not to hand over the military power.

"You have no choice but to throw me out now?" Xu Mingyi took one of his arms, leaned on his shoulder, and said in a pleading tone: "Grandfather, it depends on human effort. Mr. Yao's hexagram has already given us a warning. , let's pay more attention and go down to see the situation, okay? After all, there is no rush to make a decision at this moment."
