"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, Xu Yuan, a person from Jinling, was brave and resolute, made meritorious contributions in the South China Sea, and rose in the late Pingxi ......"

Zhao Yan's least favorite thing is to listen to others read the holy decree, obviously a very simple thing, but the person who writes the holy decree has to write it stinky and long, of course, if it is just like that, it is just that, but the holy decree also likes to drag the text, quote the scriptures and write wildly, generally people who have no talent to learn can not understand what is written on the holy decree at all, if they encounter urgent things, they have to be cheeky to ask others, which makes people feel very faceless.

After Zhao Yan entered the hall with the empty just now, Zhao Shu praised the empty air, and the surrounding ministers also looked at him with a very curious gaze, this is not only because the empty made a request to the Great Song Dynasty, but also related to yesterday's rumors, especially many people have heard of the empty name before, but they didn't expect that now the other party has become a generation of heroes on the sea, thinking about it makes people very interested in his experience, if it weren't for the fact that this was at the court meeting, I'm afraid that someone will ask him about his experience in the past few years.

Next is the formal link, that is, the content of the holy decree read now, all of which are empty rewards, but unfortunately there is too much nonsense, and it has not been on the topic for a long time, Zhao Yan listened to it dizzily, and finally finally heard the three words "Jiedu Envoy", which only woke up with a stirring spirit, and listened seriously at the moment, although he still didn't understand it, but probably understood that it was sealed empty for the Jianzhou Jiedu Envoy, this Jianzhou is not the one in the Northeast, but the Jianzhou that was first built there, and the Jiedu Envoy has become a glorious title in the Song Dynasty, Generally only granted to relatives, the royal family or the head of the ethnic minority, the empty count is a person who is attached, and the status is similar to that of the leader of the ethnic minority, so it is not surprising that he is named the envoy of the festival.

Except, of course, that the knots make this false title. Zhao Shu has many substantial rewards, such as a hundred acres of land, a mansion in the city of Tokyo, a number of money, etc., anyway, everything that can be rewarded is rewarded, and the ministers have no opinion on this, in fact, this holy decree needs to be reviewed by several ministers before it can be read, so these rewards are also decided after the discussion of the ministers.

I finally waited until the decree was read. He stepped forward to thank him, but Zhao Shu suddenly said at this time: "Xu Yuan, I heard that you are not married yet?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is indeed not married yet!" Hearing this, he was very nervous when he heard that the holy decree did not mention the content of the marriage, but he didn't expect Zhao Shu to mention it in person at this time. In fact, he didn't know that if Zhao Shu wrote the marriage on the holy decree, I am afraid that this holy decree would not be able to pass at all.

"Haha. That's great, I see that you are dignified and talk extraordinary, especially for the country, which makes me very relieved, it just so happens that my daughter Princess Bao'an has never been married, I think I am very compatible with you, I will marry her to you now, are you willing? Zhao Shu asked with a smile. However, as soon as his words came out, the faces of the surrounding monarchs and ministers changed. Zhao Shu hadn't discussed this matter with any of them, and now he suddenly announced that he was going to marry Xu Yuan and Princess Bao'an, which made them all feel caught off guard.

"Xie Majesty, Chen Xu Yuan can't ask for it!" Hearing this, he also knelt down in the tunnel excitedly, and at the same time, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, but then he looked at the ministers around him worriedly. The following ministers are probably going to be strongly opposed.

Sure enough, as soon as the empty words fell, I saw that suddenly a counselor stood up and stopped loudly: "Your Majesty, although Xu Yuan has contributed to the country, he is really not a good match for the princess!" ”

"Oh? Why did Zhou Siji say that? Zhao Shu asked knowingly. The official who stood up was named Zhou Shen. As the secretary of the court, he has the right to criticize major matters and discuss small matters, so it can be said that as long as it happens in the court, he has the right to come forward to oppose it, and this person has a strong temperament, and he can't see any injustice, so as long as he encounters problems in the court, he is almost the first to stand up.

"Qi Qi Your Majesty, yesterday the minister heard rumors, it is said that Xu Yuan was originally a high monk in the capital, three years without a trace, but three years later suddenly became the leader of the Rakshasa army, although the hero does not ask the source, but the princess to choose the horse at least needs to be innocent, with Xu Yuan's identity, how can she be worthy of the princess?" Zhou Shen immediately spoke.

"Oh? You yourself said that it was a rumor, can you conclude that Xu Yuan is empty just based on these rumors? Zhao Shu said very calmly at this time, he knew that this matter was not so easy to understand, so he had already made preparations.

"This ......" Zhou Shen didn't expect Zhao Shu to rebel against him, so he hesitated for a moment and said again, "Your Majesty, Xu Yuan is here, why don't we confront him face to face!" ”

Zhao Shu sneered in his heart when he heard this, and immediately turned his head to look at Kongdao: "Xu Yuan, Zhou Siji said that there are rumors in the market, saying that you are the senior monk of the year, can you admit this?" ”

Hearing Zhao Shu's question, the ministers in the palace also looked at Kong, many of them had seen Kongkong before, but they were not very familiar with each other, and now there has been a gap of three years, and Kong's temperament and dress have changed dramatically, so they really didn't recognize it for a while, but there are also a few people who feel that Xu Yuan is indeed exactly the same as Kongchang.

He has indeed broken a lot of precepts in the past few years by killing people and setting fires at sea, but out of the consciousness of a monk, he still adheres to some precepts that he can keep, such as not speaking is one of them, and now he is making him lie in front of so many people, especially some of his former acquaintances, which makes him feel unspeakable for a while.

Fortunately, at this time, Zhao Yan saw Kong's embarrassment, and immediately stood up and spoke for him: "Father Qiqi, the son can prove that Xu Yuan is not empty, because Kongkong has already died back then!" ”

As soon as Zhao Yan's words came out, they immediately caused an uproar among the ministers, and they couldn't figure out whether Zhao Yan's words were true or false, and at this time, Zhao Yan didn't care about the reactions of others, and spoke again at the moment: "Back then, Erchen and Kong were good friends, and there were many contacts with each other, but just three years ago, a major event happened in the capital, that is, the empty Xiangji Temple was slaughtered. It was in the prison of the Liao State spies that Erchen saw Kong, and later he helped me successfully escape, but he died at the hands of the Liao State spies, which can also be proved by the people of the Imperial City Division! ”

Zhao Yan found that his lying skills were getting better and better, and in the end, even he believed that Sora died to save himself, and even shed a few sad tears, anyway, only he and Yan Yuru knew about his experience after being kidnapped, so now he can say whatever he wants, and no one has any evidence to say that he lied.

Hearing that Zhao Yan personally confirmed that Kong was dead, Si Jian Zhou Shen couldn't help but have a suspicious look on his face, secretly wondering if it was really a rumor in the market that could not be trusted? When the other ministers heard Zhao Yan speak in such detail, they even shed tears sincerely, and they all looked at each other suspiciously, and they couldn't help but believe Zhao Yan's words.

"King Jun, since you can prove that Sora is dead, why does Xu Yuan's appearance resemble Sora so much?" At this moment, another advisor opened his mouth and asked, and it seemed that not everyone believed Zhao Yan's words.

"How do you know about this king, but there are so many people in the world who look similar, so there is nothing to make a fuss about Xu Yuan and Kong's similar appearance, and even when this king saw Xu Yuan before, he thought it was a friend who was resurrected, but after a few days of conversation, I found out that although Xu Yuan is similar to Kong, his personality is very different, which also makes this king believe that they are not the same person!" At this time, Zhao Yan asserted that he was a friend of Kong, anyway, it was no secret that he was friendly with Kong, except for Su Shi and a few others, there was really no one in the court who was particularly familiar with Kong.

Zhao Yan's words did make the ministers speechless, taking advantage of this opportunity, Likong finally reacted, and immediately spoke: "I don't know any Master Kong, and I don't know that I look very similar to the other party, but if that's the case, it can only be described as a coincidence." ”

Originally, Zhao Shu meant to let Xu Yuan say that he and Likong were twin brothers, but Zhao Yan felt that saying this was a bit too deliberate, and even for some smart people, this was simply not a self-confession, so Zhao Yan temporarily changed his mind and did not say it according to Zhao Shu's meaning.

Hearing that even Xu Yuan didn't admit that he was empty, and there was also Zhao Yan, a conclusive witness, the mouths of the ministers in the court were finally blocked, but in the end, there were still a few doubts about the identity of the empty, and they planned to use other reasons to let Zhao Shu withdraw the words of marriage, but Zhao Shu was also very resolute, so in the end, he finally married Princess Bao'an as Xu Yuan, and even in order to make this matter a foregone conclusion as soon as possible, Zhao Shu also announced on the spot that Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang would marry together, after all, they are twin sisters, Born on the same day and married on the same day, it will be even more joyful at that time, and no one can say anything.

After hearing Zhao Shu's marriage, he knelt down again to thank him, and the excited expression on his face could no longer be hidden, after all, years of hard work finally paid off, and Zhao Yan was also relieved, Princess Shoukang's wedding date was half a month later, in such a short time, there should be no more problems.

After waiting for the next dynasty, Likong was left by Zhao Shu to be questioned alone, which is also a normal thing, after all, he is going to marry someone else's daughter, Zhao Shu naturally wants to know what kind of person his future son-in-law is. So Zhao Yan walked out of the hall alone, but at this moment, he heard someone behind him suddenly whisper: "Third brother, Xu Yuan is empty!" (To be continued......)
