Master Xiao said respectfully: "This is the old minister's last wish, so please let the emperor fulfill it!"

When the court officials heard the emperor say the word "give marriage" and the first thing they thought of was Xiao Mingtang, the grandson of Master Xiao. Everyone knew that although Xiao Mingtang had already raised many concubines, he did not have a wife whom the matchmaker had just married. Before leaving, the old teacher seemed to have to settle the marriage of his grandson.

Knowledge, but I don’t know which daughter the emperor would give to Xiao Mingtang.

Except for the Han Xuanchang brothers who knew the inside story, almost everyone believed that the marriage was related to Xiao Mingtang.

The emperor pondered. At this moment, after reading the meaning of the letter, he finally confirmed that the Xiao family had truly bowed to the Han family, and the resignation of the Grand Master Xiao was also showing the Xiao family's desire to compromise.

To betroth Xiao Lingzhi to Han Cang, this is obviously a means of marriage alliance. Giving her own girl out of her will naturally be a more depressing attitude.

This marriage is nothing more than a situation. Even if you don’t want to, no one can stop the marriage between Xiao and Han families, and it will eventually become a fact.

His heart was full of resentment, but he knew that the situation was irreversible. He smiled indifferently, looked at Han Xuan and asked, "Han Aiqing, the Grand Master wants to betroth Xiao Lingzhi to your Han family, what do you think?"

Han Mo's expression changed, and a light flashed through his eyes.

Xiao Lingzhi betrothed to the Han family?

Could it be that Xiao Lingzhi begged the Grand Master to make the decision and marry him, so before leaving, Tai Shi Xiao asked the emperor to give this marriage?

An undetectable smile appeared on the corner of Han Mo's mouth. He was worried that Xiao Lingzhi would be unable to get together because of the opposition between him. Unexpectedly, things would turn out such a wonderful opportunity, and the Xiao family actually proposed this marriage on their own initiative.

"Before the old guy resigned, he did something good after all." Han Mo said in his heart.

...

Han Xuandao, who had been maintaining peace, walked out of the court and said respectfully: "I am grateful to the Grand Master for such kindness. Miss Xiao is virtuous and kind, and it is a blessing if I can marry Miss Xiao in my family."

The emperor nodded quietly, smiled faintly, and said, "Since that's the case, I will naturally be correct for this memorial." He raised his voice and said, "Transfer my will and Xiao Lingzhi will give Han Cang as his wife, so I will be a matchmaker!"

The emperor's words fell behind, and the ministers said in unison: "Congratulations to Grand Master, and Congratulations to Lord Han!"

When Han Mo heard the sentence "Xiao Lingzhi gave Han Cang to be his wife", he suddenly felt like five thunderstorms, his mind was blank. He raised his head and looked at the emperor in the Golden Palace, opened his mouth and his face turned pale.

How is that possible?

How could it be Han Cang?

Did the emperor say it wrong? Did he hear it wrong?

Han Cang was also a little stunned at this time.

He naturally heard of Xiao Lingzhi's name, and he also knew that Xiao Lingzhi was a top-notch beauty in the capital. She not only had outstanding appearance, but also had extraordinary wisdom.

Although Xiao Lingzhi is not the real bloodline of the Xiao family, the officials of the court know very well that Xiao Lingzhi was included in the Xiao family's servant a few years ago, and was named the lady of the Xiao family.

Xiao Lingzhi has outstanding talent and good reputation. Over the years, I don’t know how many children of officials want to ask for it but cannot.

Although Han Cang didn't really care about women, how could he not be surprised if such a talented and beautiful beauty hit him? In a daze, an official beside him had already whispered: "Commander Han, why don't you go and thank him!"

Han Cang immediately recovered and, except for Chaolei, stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and whispered: "I thank the emperor for his kindness!"

Han Mo was shocked by Han Cang's thankful voice. He immediately clenched his fists, and his blood was pouring up, almost rushing up to stop the marriage, but when the blood was pouring up, his mind was still a little clear.

Just like all the dangers in the past, Han Mo was able to keep his mind calm at the most critical moment.

What reason did he stop it? Should he tell everyone that he and Xiao Lingzhi have made a private lifelong decision? With this statement, his reputation doesn't matter, but Xiao Lingzhi's innocence was destroyed in an instant.

This era is not as good as the previous life when all morals are lost. This is an era with strong moral concepts. The innocence of a daughter's family is extremely important. The fact that a man and a woman privately convict their lives under the moon and flowers is naturally not unfolding in this era, but such things must not be placed on the table.

A young lady from a noble family who was not married secretly made a lifelong decision with others. Once this matter spreads, Xiao Lingzhi will definitely fall into the deep pool of morality.

Moreover, for this marriage, Grand Master Xiao personally asked the emperor to make the decision, Han Xuandao personally agreed, and Han Cang even thanked him, and it has become a fact that he has made a decision on the board. What can he have to prevent this marriage?

A chill appeared on Han Mo's body.

The emperor raised his hand and asked the ministers kneeling in the court to get up. Han Mo didn't even know how he walked back to the court. He didn't hear a word about the court discussions afterwards. It was not until the eunuch shouted the word "scattered court" in a sharp voice that he came to his senses. After sending the emperor away from the court with all the ministers, the court officials withdrew from the Taiping Hall in an orderly manner.

This thrilling court meeting came to an end for the time being, and the incredible things that went up to the court made the ministers still not dissipate the astonishment on their faces after they retreated from the court.

At today's court meeting, the Han family had a great harvest, and the court officials even knew that even the always strong Xiao family had compromised with the Han family. The first pillar of the Xiao family, Xiao, even made the decision to resign and retire.

There is no doubt that this court meeting brought a new prelude to the political situation in Yan State. After this court meeting, the Han family has replaced the Xiao family and officially became the first family of the Great Yan State.

Many court officials found it incredible that what has happened in the past two years was too surprising, just like a patient covered in poisonous sores, whose poisonous sores suddenly broke down one day.

The nine major families that have been fighting for nearly a hundred years have fallen in several consecutive families in the past two years. In the end, although there are still four major families still living in the court, the struggle for the aristocratic families has become a thing of the past.

In the nearly 100-year history of Yan State, although several families have the strength of the first family at different stages, other families can still constrain the first family and balance the power balance in an alliance.

However, today the Han family has become the first family, but there seems to be no force that can really restrict it. Now the only one who can compete with the Han family has become the royal family itself.

...

On the long white marble road outside the Taiping Hall, the officials were not as quiet as before. Some congratulated the Han family, while others were sighing that they were trying to keep Tai Shi Xiao.

Although Han Cang was named the commander of Zhongyi Camp and was even given a marriage in the current dynasty, his expression was still as calm as ever. However, if an official came to congratulate him, the arrogant Han Cang would also bow back to his favor. From this, it can be seen that he was really happy deep in his heart.

If all the officials of the Han family who came out of the court were very happy, it would not be the case. At least Han Mo was in a very depressed mood at this time.

Although the military talisman was temporarily preserved, the marriage between Xiao Lingzhi and Han Cang was like a thousand-pound stone, which was pressed hard on his heart.

Before he knew it, he actually walked to Han Cang's side. Han Cang seemed to have intentionally blocked him.

Han Mo raised his head and looked at the clear and expressionless face in front of him. He could see the joy of Han Cang's current moment from Han Cang's twinkling eyes.

"Brother, congratulations!" Han Mo said lightly, but there was no sign of congratulation on his face.

Han Cang looked at Han Mo with a very strange look, and did not speak. He soon snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Master Xiao, not far away, saw this scene and a strange smile streaked across the corner of his mouth.

...

Han Xuanling was named General of Cavalry. At this time, many officials were surrounding him and they all congratulated him.

"Governor Han, the emperor's kindness, now in addition to the general, Governor Han's martial name is the second highest in the dynasty, which is a happy congratulations."

"Yes, Governor Han guards the East China Sea, and the pirates in the East China Sea are silent and report the peace of the East China Sea. It is natural for the emperor to be named a cavalry general."

"Governor Han, since he is here, he will stay in the capital for a few more days. He wants to hold a banquet to gather in a humble house, so please don't refuse!"

"That's right, Governor Han learned that the Governor likes to drink, but the Mansion has treasured several jars of good wine. When he turns back, he must appreciate his face and come to the Mansion to taste it!"

Han Xuanling is also an open-minded and generous person. He replied with a smile and got along very well with everyone.

At this moment, an eunuch hurriedly followed and said with a smile: "Governor Han, the emperor has passed the order. Now Empress Shu is pregnant. If Governor Han is convenient, you can go and visit him. Empress Shu knows that Governor Han is coming to Beijing, and has been hoping to meet the Governor."

Han Xuanling hurriedly said, "I want to meet the Empress, but I am just worried about being absurd and presumptuous. Since the emperor has the order, I want to visit the Empress now!"

Concubine Shu is Han Xuanling's biological daughter. She has been in the palace for many years and has rarely seen her family. The last time she met her father and daughter was four years ago. Now Concubine Shu is pregnant again, how could Han Xuanling not want to meet?

Now he wanted to go to his daughter in two steps and take a good look at his daughter.

The eunuch smiled and said, "The Master said that Governor Han can visit Concubine Shu at any time. Since that's the case, Governor, please follow the family to enter the palace!"

Han Xuanling bowed his hand, his eyes showed excitement, and he bowed farewell to the officials around him, and then followed the eunuch into the palace.

It is natural for father and daughter to meet each other, so the officials naturally don’t care.
