Chapter 30

"It's actually very simple to dispel the emperor's suspicion. According to Zhao Zhao, what is the emperor's greatest fear of the marriage of Xu and Wu?" the public interest of the town asked her as if she had taught her more.

Xu Mingyi's voice dropped a little: "naturally, if the troops of Xu and Wu families belong to one place, it can be called Daqing weather change."

Although she knows the loyalty of the town government, will the emperor believe it?

"If I take the initiative to hand over the military power, will the emperor still have this taboo?" the Duke of the town stroked his beard and looked as usual, as if he were talking about something irrelevant.

However, this sentence seemed to explode a loud thunder in Xu Mingyi's heart.

The right to fight?!

"Do you want to exchange military power for the emperor to marry me?" Xu Mingyi looked at the old man beside him almost unbelievably.

The Duke of the town shook his head disapprovingly, and his eyes were kind and gentle: "it can't be said to be exchange. I've thought about this for a long time. Our town government can't compare with the Wu family. The foundation of the century old family is deep. It may not be a good thing to hold the military power in hand for too long."

He didn't even mention the idea to his sons, but he told it to his granddaughter tonight.

"You are for me!"

Xu Mingyi's voice was very stuffy, and tears filled his eyes almost instantly.

If it weren't for her marriage, Grandpa wouldn't have chosen to fight at this time!

If she had only thought before, it was because she had really made up her mind——

She couldn't help it any more. She turned her head to the old man's still generous shoulder and held out her hand. Her tears were silent but surging.

Now she finally knows why the emperor promised to marry her in his previous life!

... she knows now!

"You child, why are you crying..." the town Lord slapped her trembling back in a hurry. "What's wrong with this? My grandfather is old and it's time to die. People live in the world and have to make decisions. In this way, our town government can really settle down..."

Xu Mingyi's tears flow more fiercely.

It turned out that grandpa was always on guard and made a very simple decision, but the decision failed to preserve the town government as he thought

When people live and need to make a choice, they can only think as much as possible, but they can't predict what will happen after making a choice.

If she hadn't been reborn, I'm afraid her grandfather's decision would be called wise and decisive. After all, there are many powerful officials and vassal kings who "don't know how to advance and retreat" in history books, so there are many people who kill themselves.

However, those so-called "wise" should also depend on the situation and people.

Once the judgment is wrong, it is doomed.

"Grandfather, military power cannot be handed over."

Xu Mingyi held back the remaining tears and looked up at the Duke of town: "Almost all the useful officers and men under your command are old people who have followed you from the beginning! The Xu family army was not handed over to you by the imperial court, but you gathered it in one place to overcome all difficulties at first, and grew stronger and stronger with your reputation! Before the first emperor ascended the throne, there was Xu family army! It was our Xu family army. Why should we hand it over!"

She knew that this could be called a great evil, enough to kill the nine families.

However, she witnessed a tragedy in which a tiger who broke its claws to show loyalty was still put into a cage and executed!

In some people's eyes, the tiger's broken claw does not represent loyalty, but that they do not have to be afraid of being hurt by the claw - so their grandfather handed over the military power for a year, and the Xu family was copied by the whole family.

The Duke of town changed his face again and again.

"Zhaozhao, some words really can't be nonsense..."

What military power belongs to the Xu family, not the imperial court? Just know it in your heart. Isn't it fatal to say it?

Besides, is it the king's land in the world? What can always be your own?

Is it your own, and do you have the ability to hold it in your hand for a long time?

It's too heavy to hold one day.

The Duke of the town sighed heavily at the bottom of his heart.

"Grandpa, I know you have your thoughts."

Xu Mingyi tried to make his tone sound calm and rational: "but have you ever thought about leaving yourself a way back? As for the Wu family, your granddaughter will never marry."

That will only make the two more attractive.

It is precisely because of the differences between Xu's army and his army that Daqing is now worth domestic and foreign troubles, and the imperial court has been unable to "recover" his grandfather's military power.

The experience of the last life told her that in the eyes of some people, what was wrong was not what his grandfather did - whatever his grandfather did, he was wrong, because his existence with the Zhenguo government and Xu Jiajun was "wrong".

Since the end is the same, it's better to plan for the worst and retain the strength of a free hand.

"But Mr. Yao's divination..."

"Grandpa, I'm really afraid of death." Xu Mingyi looked at him with red eyes, "but I'm afraid of dying alone."

The Duke of town looked at his granddaughter in surprise.

... what does that mean?

When Xu Mingyi finished, he also felt that this sentence seemed ambiguous, as if she had to pull someone else to be buried even if she died

"I said, don't be angry. My granddaughter thinks that in this situation, what Mr. Yao predicted may not be the robbery of my granddaughter alone. If my granddaughter marries out and avoids the robbery, what should I do when something happens to the town government?"

Now she needs to speak more frankly and seriously in order to make grandpa more defensive and change his decision.

At least, he can think more.

"This..." the Duke of town's face changed a little. From the initial feeling that the child had no scruples, it was a bit funny to his face gradually became dignified.

"What's more, the rush of joy won't work. Liu Yi has been taken away by the government. At most, tomorrow, the story of her poisoning me will spread all over the capital."

"Why did you report to the official?!" the Duke of town was surprised.

Xu Mingyi roughly explained her conversation with Cui.

The Duke of the town was in a mixed mood.

It's good for his daughter-in-law and granddaughter to be thoughtful... But he really can't make himself happy or relieved at this time.

Without illness, there is no reason to rejoice.

In this case, it doesn't make sense for him to ask the emperor to marry again.

Even if the military power is exchanged, it can't be too different. Otherwise, it's better not to hand over the military power.

"You have no way to drive me out now?" Xu Mingyi took his arm, leaned on his shoulder and begged: "Grandpa, it's man-made. Mr. Yao's divination has given us a warning. Let's pay more attention and go down to see the situation? We're not in a hurry to make a decision at this time."
