Xia Nan scanned everyone sadly and angrily, and found that Sima De and Sun Yuanhua's ridiculous proposal was unopposed, and everyone had an expression of "it should be so". Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Seeing that no one was "presiding over justice", he couldn't help but touch his lower abdomen, and was a little frightened, he couldn't get Chunlan and the others pregnant for several years, isn't it a problem with the land, but his own cow? If they marry Xie Wenjun and don't have a son and a half daughter, what strange ideas will they have next?

For the first time since the founding of the Qiong Navy, Xia Nan, who has always been high-minded, feels that he can't control the situation, but the reasons of this group of subordinates are still very high and cannot be refused. He suddenly felt that the superior might not have everything as he wished, even if he was sitting in the Forbidden City, the emperor who was in power had too many things to worry about.

He didn't want to continue on such an embarrassing topic, and hastily ended the discussion: "What you said makes sense, I'll think about it." Now that the candidate has been decided, it's up to you to handle it, and I will cooperate with what you want me to do. ”

After deciding on the candidates, Nan's wedding in the summer became the overriding number one task of the Qiong Navy. Sun Yuanhua and Sima De worked closely for the first time, under their auspices, some people took the matchmaker to Dengzhou to hire Xie Sanbin, some went to Guangzhou to buy the items needed for marriage, and some sent invitations to Guangzhou officialdom and Qiongzhou counties in advance - although the marriage process has just started, but the wedding date has been set, which is a month later on the ninth day of November, before the lunar month, in order to avoid the taboo of the folk "not marrying, not marrying". Anyway, both parties agreed to this marriage, except for Xia Nan himself, everyone is eager to get married tomorrow, and the next marriage proposal is just a formality.

In the sound of the accompanying band blowing and beating drums, the hired team arrived in Dengzhou, Xie Sanbin, who had been waiting for a long time, did not hesitate at all, accepted the bridal gift, agreed to it, exchanged the eight characters of the birthday, and informed that in case the wedding was far away, Xie Wenjun had been waiting in Guangzhou a few months ago, and the place of welcoming the relatives would be set up at her uncle's house. The matchmaker was also happy when he heard it, this matchmaker was too easy, the man and the woman were eager to have a big gift today, and they would get married tomorrow, and the whole process became an obstacle.

The dowry sent to Dengzhou was too grand, in addition to the traditional Fu pills, geldings, ducks and other items, the boxes filled with gold and silver were full of more than a dozen, through the streets and alleys, and there were many onlookers, which alarmed the new governor of the imperial history. When he learned that it was Ping Nanbo, who was armed with heavy troops, he immediately sent a piece of impeachment to the capital, saying that the governor of Denglai "had close contacts with the warriors" and "took the opportunity to collect money", and that Ping Nanbo "exceeded the system of extravagance in marriage".

After arriving at the cabinet, Wen Tiren looked at the contents and smiled, these officials were really full, he directly annotated and ordered it to be presented to the emperor, and then pondered how to buy a congratulatory gift - through the founder of the celebrant supervisor, he has already hooked up with Xia Nan, and this big wedding is the best time to consolidate the relationship between the two parties.

Chongzhen saw the letter impeaching Xie Sanbin and Xia Nan in a pile of folds, and his brows furrowed. If other officials are impeached for "extravagance", he will definitely issue an order to reprimand and hold him accountable, but this time the target is Xia Nan, so he will have to consider it carefully. He called Wang Chengen over, showed him the folds, and asked, "Wang Companion, think about it from my standpoint, what should you do decently?" ”

Wang Chengen hurriedly glanced at it a few times, and replied cautiously: "The slave and maid don't dare to speculate on the holy will, but now it is an eventful season, and the lord of Long Live takes the lead in frugality, but the dignified governor and the chief military officer are so extravagant, which has a bad impact on the atmosphere of the government and the opposition......"

Chongzhen said "um", noncommittal.

Wang Chengen thought to himself, now that the treasury is empty, silver must be used everywhere, and it is said that the emperor does not like the courtiers' marriages and extravagant food and clothing, but seeing that this impeachment fold is actually not angry, it seems that there are other considerations. Thinking of Ping Nanbo's repeated military exploits, and he had just "donated" 200,000 taels to the imperial court, which solved the urgent need of the northwest, with such a contribution, the so-called "extravagance" crime is insignificant. The emperor didn't necessarily want to help him come up with ideas, but he just wanted himself to say what he didn't want to say, so that he could have a step down.

So Wang Chengen said tentatively: "However, Ping Nanbo has outstanding merits and does not hide his flaws, you can just reprimand him in private, and there is no need to put it on the table to make a big move, so as not to chill the heart of the hero." ”

Sure enough, Chongzhen took over the conversation: "Wang Banban's words are reasonable, Xia Nan is a martial artist after all, and he can't be expected to be as clean and self-loving as Confucian." Although there are shortcomings in conduct, but they have repeatedly made great contributions, it is not appropriate to ask for guilt because of small sections. He ordered the celebrant to send a messenger to Qiongzhou to spread an edict to encourage him to continue to serve the imperial court after his wedding, and then reprimand him in private. ”

Wang Chengen responded: "The slave and maid will do it immediately." ”

He was about to retreat, but when he saw Chongzhen's lips move, as if he still had words, he stopped.

Chongzhen hesitated for a moment, and pretended to say casually: "The person sent should be clever and ask Xia Nan, the wedding was so extravagant that it attracted impeachment, did you ever think that the treasury is empty now, and you can't make ends meet?" As an earl and wealthy people, should he lead by example? ”

Wang Chengen was stunned, what does this mean to ask Ping Nanbo for silver? A few months ago, he just "donated" 200,000 taels, and now he wants to take the opportunity of impeachment to knock on it and take the opportunity to ask for silver? The dignified king of a country, rich from all over the world, has been reduced to such a state, repeatedly beating the idea of his courtiers, just to fill the empty treasury.

Wang Chengen couldn't help but feel sad, in all dynasties, how could an emperor disregard the dignity and face of the Ninety-Five, and open his mouth to his courtiers for the sake of the country?

He choked up and said: "Long live Lord, you have wronged yourself for the sake of the Daming Jiangshan Society......"

Chongzhen was a little uncomfortable, coughed a few times, and waved his hand: "Hugh is verbose, retreat." ”

After Wang Chengen left, Chongzhen sat back at the table, looked at the twists and turns of asking for food and salary in various places, and sighed.

Guangzhou, Governor Yamen.

Sima De respectfully said to Mu Tianyan: "Futai, Governor Xie's hometown is in Huguang, and he has lived in the capital for a long time, and now he is the governor of Denglai, and the dowry can only be sent to Dengzhou." As for Miss Xie's side, it all depends on Futai to take charge of the arrangement. ”

"This is natural, the people say that my father and mother are not as good as my uncle, Wenjun's father is not here, and I am the duty of my uncle." Mu Tianyan stroked his beard and smiled, "The place to welcome her is set here, I will buy a rich dowry for her, and marry her off in a beautiful way." ”
