Chapter 684

As soon as Emperor Yan spoke, Xu Shian knew what he was going to say.

"Your Majesty, I was ignorant and missed a piece of jade. Now I regret it..."

Emperor Yan was too lazy to listen to him pretending to be deeply in love here. He impatiently interrupted him, "Shian, you Xu family are foreign relatives and relatives of the emperor in the eyes of outsiders. As my intimate people, you naturally want to share your worries for the country and for me. Think about your father, you have come to the end with the wrong people. You Xu family now rely on you alone, Behind your back are more than a hundred mouths waiting to eat. You have to think clearly. "

If Xu Shian dares to marry Yan Qiqi, he is against him.

This is no longer a point, but a blatant threat.

Standing in a good team, he can't enjoy all his glory and wealth. Standing in the wrong team... He can't bear the consequences at all.

He compared Yan Qiqi to a jade, which made Emperor Yan even more unhappy. He finally removed Yan Tianji's thorn. The government was under his control. If his most trusted favorite minister married someone else, he would never allow it.

In the end, the threat played a role. Xu Shian's attitude was not as firm as before, but he still didn't say a word.

Emperor Yan continued to lobby, "why should a big husband have no wife? On the one hand, he is prosperous and rich, and on the other hand, he is an obstacle to your Qingyun road. How to choose you? Think about what I told you today."

Xu Shian's words were stopped by Emperor Yan again.

He is indeed hesitating.

It's hard to imagine the price he paid to achieve his current high position. Now he has everything, but he never forgets what he didn't get at the beginning. The woman turned off the light and closed her eyes, but he was a little unwilling.

With the entanglement of thoughts and what Emperor Yan said just now, he even hesitated and hesitated.

This stunned God missed the best time and had to step down as ordered.

As soon as Xu Shian left, Emperor Yan, who was already tired, did not go to bed immediately. Instead, he invited the internal supervisor to grind ink. Emperor Yan thought for a moment and issued a decree.

With a stroke of a pen, he drew up one in three or two, sealed the seal, rolled it up and put it in the brocade box, and said to the internal attendant, "send Minjie to Xu's house early tomorrow morning to read out the edict."

Minjie is father-in-law min, the general leader of the internal supervisor.

Only when things are important, Emperor Yan will send father-in-law min out.

The interior warden looked cold and quickly bowed down to take orders, "yes."

……

The next day, when it was just dawn and sleepy, Xu Shian was called up to receive the imperial edict. He had been promoted to the Minister of war. At this time, Xu Shian sat in the flower Hall of the Duke of Xu's residence with an iron face. His face was so black that even the servant girl carrying tea and water did not dare to approach. He shrank and offered the tea and hurried away.

Xu Cheng slowly stepped into the door. Just now father min came to proclaim Emperor Yan's edict, saying that Xu Shian was promoted to be the Minister of the Ministry of war and concurrently in charge of the Department of arms and horses. Emperor Yan almost announced to people inside and outside the government that he would replace all visible positions of Duke Cheng.

After returning from the Northern Kingdom, Xu Shian was even more depressed.

Even father-in-law min, who had just delivered the decree, felt strange. When Xu Shizi received the decree, he called three times in a row before he reacted. This didn't count. He didn't even send one or two. It seemed that the outsider's extremely gracious promotion was not worth mentioning in his eyes.

Fortunately, Xu Cheng was also present. He quickly stood up and stuffed a few gold words into father-in-law min's hand to solve the siege. Xu Cheng personally sent father-in-law min out.

"Marquis, please advise the prince. The Chengguo government is in the forefront now. Even if you want to marry, it can't be now. Your majesty doesn't give marriage for the future of the prince..."

Father-in-law min is also very good at observing his words and expressions. He knows that Xu Shian can't afford to offend now. Even if he throws his face, he can only do it.

Fortunately, for the sake of silver, the grievance just suffered is not called grievance, and there are more words.

Those who went to his Majesty's banquet that day were all young talents. Old ministers like Xu Cheng were not invited, so Xu Cheng knew nothing about what happened in the court.

He suddenly heard the name of Cheng Guogong and thought that Emperor Yan was turning over the old accounts again. He waved his hand and said he didn't mind, "Grandpa is worried too much. Shian has his own discretion. We and Cheng Guogong, hehe..."

The two ha ha have expressed their disdain. Father min doesn't know that the chat has been forked. He frowned and said, "no, marquis, Xu Shizi asked to marry Yan Qiqi in front of his Majesty the day before yesterday. Don't you know?"

As soon as Xu Cheng heard this, his eyes stared like a bronze bell, "is your father-in-law serious?"

"Naturally, it is true. Otherwise, why do you think this decree will be announced early this morning? To tell you the truth, your Majesty would like the son to be his son-in-law. Na'an and the princess have married a barbarian. Now she can't get rid of her own worldly affairs. Moreover, the situation in the government has plummeted as soon as Duke Cheng left. Now, unlike in the past, the son is a rare young talent. How can your majesty promise this marriage? No, I'm afraid the son will think much, Last night, a decree was drafted to promote the son of the world. Congratulations, marquis. "

After listening to him, Xu Cheng knew the cause and effect.

"Thank you for your advice. Please be polite." Xu Shian suppressed his doubts and asked his father-in-law to go out with a smile on his face.

Xu Cheng sent off father-in-law min. when he came back, he found that Xu Shian was still sitting in place like a wooden man. He was a little proud just now. When he was proud, he forgot to go and said something he shouldn't say.

"Shian, who are you going to show me? If father-in-law min goes back to report to his majesty, you will inevitably be scolded again. If today's great grace falls on us, you can't be angry any more. "

He said a long string. Xu Shian slowly raised his eyes, "make your temper? What did you hear? "

Now in the face of this father, Xu Shian is fully capable of competing with him, so he doesn't take him seriously. In other words, in the Xu family, he is the one who says nothing.

Xu Cheng now looks up to others and doesn't dare to speak seriously. He laughed twice and decided to save the country, "Shian, I heard your majesty likes you, and the eldest princess especially likes you. Have you considered..."
