Chapter 773: Ten Thousand Damage
Xie Xian first made a list. He was afraid that he would not give what he had given, so he added more. At that time, Rouran attacked Northern Wu from thousands of miles away and echoed Daliang. Emperor Yong Ping was so excited that he could not sleep. His merit badge was also on it. He had thrown in good things to get it.
In the end, when something happened, he started to pour dirty water on Zhuge Fu. Emperor Yong Ping still had a sense of justice.
He stood up to refute Zhuge Fu’s rumors.
He also wanted to let those people know that he was not a puppet who would listen to others. He had his own opinions and could play a role in the battle.
At the very least, he could afford to be blamed for knowing how to use people well.
Whether it was Sikong Xiao, Xie Xian, Zhuge Fu, Xue Quan, or Xue Jing ‘er, they were all used by him.
I also have the ability to judge, okay?
Putting aside whether Zhuge Fu could be used, he did have the credit. He couldn’t just push all the sh * t onto him just because he was tricked by Princess Rouran.
If Rouran had any conspiracy…
What could there be?
There had been quite a lot of excitement over the past year, and half of it was contributed by Princess Rouran.
From Zhuge Shu to Yang Shao, and then to Zhuge Fu, which one of them didn’t pursue him vigorously?
The Zhuge family should be the one to be worried.
Finally, one of the two generations of father and son was harmed.
Emperor Yong Ping’s heart ached for the Zhuge family. They clearly had a bright future, but it was ruined by a foreign princess.
Logically speaking, the Minister of Justice should not have any connections with foreign affairs. He would not be able to communicate with foreign countries, so why would he pass the criminal law to them?
Emperor Yong Ping had a broad heart and a strong tolerance, but he could not withstand the opposition of the courtiers. After all, it was a big piece of fat meat. Who wouldn’t want an incomparably noble official position?
Even if it was purely for profit, it was enough to fight over it.
Amongst them, the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs didn’t make any moves, and Xie Xian didn’t show any attitude.
However, this situation did not last for a few days. Zhuge Fu’s resignation letter was handed to Emperor Yong Ping.
Emperor Yong Ping was overwhelmed with emotions. The most Zhuge Fu said in the memorial was to thank the Emperor for his trust and support. At least the Emperor was comforted that his difficulties were seen and understood. Most of the words were words of refusal.
He did not mention a single word about his contribution to the internal strife in Daliang during his diplomatic mission to Rouran. Other than regretting that he could no longer serve the king, he resolutely resigned. There was no hypocrisy in his words.
Emperor Yong Ping let out a long sigh. Other than regret, there was only regret.
The moment Zhuge Fu agreed to marry Princess Rouran, he knew that he would have to lose his official position. It was not that there had never been a case of marrying a foreign princess in the history books, but there had never been a powerful official. Even if there were, they would gradually be sidelined.
Rather than resign passively, it was better for him to take the initiative to retire. At least he could leave a good impression on the Emperor and pave the way for his son.
“How about… Zhen will arrange a marriage for you.” After repeatedly urging Zhuge Fu to stay and Zhuge Fu repeatedly refusing, Emperor Yong Ping asked Zhuge Fu to stay in Taiji Palace for a meal.
This time, it was true. After leaving Taiji Palace tonight, the imperial edict would be issued to the world.
Although Emperor Yong Ping had conferred Zhuge Fu the title of Guanglu doctor, it was just an official that was bestowed with praise. He also had a salary, but it was just a nice name and did not have much real power.
Moreover, Zhuge Fu had said that after his son was married, he would bring Princess Rouran to a faraway place. In the future, it would be difficult for the monarch and his subjects to meet again.
Her heart was filled with reluctance, so she said it.
The Emperor’s betrothal, at least in the eyes of others, was an honor. At least it represented the recognition of the royal family.
Who knew that Zhuge Fu would shake his head and reject it, “This is not what I want, nor is it what you want. There was no need to whitewash something that everyone knew. I thank Your Majesty for your kindness.”
“.. Why did the Ninth Princess trick him?”Emperor Yong Ping drank two glasses of wine and sighed.”Why are you so careless?”
Zhuge Fu’s old face turned red.
He couldn’t talk about this matter in detail. It would be even more embarrassing. Who was he going to reason with when he was drugged?
“This, this is the will of the heavens, this is the will of the heavens.”
Emperor Yong Ping was depressed. He had been tricked. It was heaven’s will, but it was the taste of eating marrow. He had tasted the good of the ninth princess.
The monarch and his subjects had their own thoughts and drank until they were drunk.
###
However, the envoy of Rouran was even more depressed than Zhuge Fu.
When the new king of Rouran, Anakui, set off, he had given some instructions. He knew that the new king had entrusted his sister to Zhuge Fu so that Zhuge Fu could arrange a marriage for her.
This was an emergency, and he trusted Zhuge Fu.
He had left a third of the benefits that Daliang had promised Rouran as a dowry to support the Ninth Princess. He was also afraid that he would lose his life if he did not return.
Anakui knew Zhuge Fu’s character. He was an open and frank person who even entrusted the dowry to him.
It was because he knew that the Ninth Princess was a spendthrift and had no plans.
In the end, what was going on? Was it an inside job?
He kept guarding her, and even his princess was guarding his bed? He didn’t even leave a single person or money behind.
The Rouran envoy was on the verge of tears. He didn’t know how to explain this to the new king.
The new king had said that he would marry the princess and let her live a good life in Daliang. If she didn’t marry, they would take her back. There were so many brave warriors in Rouran waiting to marry.
Who would have thought that he would find an old stick.
She was two years older than the envoy. The envoy had many children and grandchildren.
She didn’t know what kind of drug the Ninth Princess had been drugged with. She said that Zhuge Fu was good and wanted to follow Zhuge Fu. If she said anything else, she would be kicked out of the posthouse.
Even the dowry was kept by her and Zhuge Fu could not move it. The Ninth Princess did not know what to do and had spent a lot of money.
The Rouran envoy received 10,000 points of damage.
She wanted to fall out with Liang, but she had tricked the ignorant girl. However, his ignorant girl was not strong enough. She switched sides at any moment and sold him out.
However, the new king had instructed him to establish a deeper level of communication with Daliang. He had originally wanted him to talk to Zhuge Fu-who said that Zhuge Fu was Rouran’s good friend and good brother?
In the end, he was now the son-in-law of Rouran. She thought that he was easier to talk to, but what she waited for was that he had resigned from his official position.
Then what kind of person did their princess marry?
When she went to Zhuge Fu’s front door, he did not even show his face. He could talk to the Ninth Princess about private matters, but he could not talk to him about official matters.
The envoy had no choice but to look for Xie Xian. Everyone knew of Xie Xian’s current status in the Daliang Dynasty. As long as he could decide on something, it would be decided. The higher-ups would follow suit, and there would be no changes.
However, Xie Xian, who rarely had free time, took advantage of the time before his sister’s wedding to bring Xiao Baoxin, Xie Yan, and Xie Qi back to Xiapi to submit the clan register. The envoy made a trip to the Xie Manor, but he did not even see a ghost.
