Chapter 677 Another move?

It took Li Jiangnan a lot of effort to get rid of the rich and powerful class who wanted to give gifts.

Except for Qianwang Maoxiong, no gifts from others will be accepted. It's not that Li Jiangnan is greedy for the villa of Qianwang Maoxiong, but Yumeizi has explained in advance that if Qianwang Maoxiong wants to win over him, don't chill him, you should Temporarily allied.

Seeing that all the gifts of other dignitaries were returned, but only his own gift was accepted, King Maoxiong couldn't help laughing with pride in his heart.

What does this mean?
This shows that Muzi Jiangnan is a young man who knows how to be close and distant.

It also shows that only I, Maoxiong Qianwang, have the qualifications to become an ally side by side with this young noble son-in-law.

And you old guys, hahahaha, you are still a little short of qualifications.

Ono Fei and the others saw the smug face of Maoxiong Qianwang, and everyone felt sour in their hearts.

In fact, they also knew very well that after all, Muzi Jiangnan was the candidate recommended by the Qianwang Maoxiong. Now that he was successfully elected as the noble son-in-law, he only accepted congratulatory gifts from the Qianwang Maoxiong, and not from other families. Such an attitude was completely reasonable.

So in order to build a good relationship with Li Jiangnan and win the support of the son-in-law in the future, Ono Fei and his gang of dignitaries began to toast frequently at the wine table, and they treated Li Jiangnan even more affectionately.

Different from the cheerful atmosphere here, the other mansion of Prince Qian, the mansion of King Jigan, was lifeless.

King Jigan's face was dark, facing the food on the table, he didn't even move his chopsticks, and he didn't have any appetite.

He hated that country bumpkin Muzi Jiangnan in his heart, he was obviously an inconspicuous waste, why was that guy able to defeat the skilled Yamaguchi Hiroshi in one fell swoop?

In fact, this is not the key point. What makes him hate the most is that he and Qianwang Maoxiong are brothers. Come to rely on my cousin?

If he comes to rely on himself, maybe this king will also recommend him to run for election.

King Jigan thought bitterly.

At this time, a dignitary sitting on his head whispered, "King Jigan, the current situation seems to be not good."

"If Muzi Jiangnan really becomes His Royal Highness Yumiko's son-in-law, then Maoxiong Ganwang, who recommended Muzi Jiangnan to run, will definitely use this to form a de facto ally with Yumiko."

"If we develop like this, our right to speak will be suppressed in state affairs in the future..."

Of course, King Jigan is clear about the stakes in this, but the key problem is that he seems to have no way to change the situation. To risk the displeasure of the world, let's overthrow the matter of choosing a son-in-law again.

At the end of the long table, Noo Ieyasu, whose face was still swollen, also participated in this luncheon. He turned his head slightly, looked at King Jigan, who was in the main seat, and said sinisterly: "His Royal Highness, King Jigan, I have an idea, why not send a few ninjas to kill him secretly, so that he will never be a noble son-in-law."

As soon as he said this, all the people attending the luncheon on both sides of the long table looked at him in unison, with strange eyes, as if seeing an idiot.

Noo Ieyasu shrank his neck and said in a low voice, "Is my suggestion not good?"

King Jigan was annoyed, pointed at him and cursed: "Noo Ieyasu, is your mind full of feces?"

"Muzi Jiangnan has already won the election, which means he is Yumiko's husband. If you dare to send someone to assassinate the noble son-in-law, aren't you afraid that the whole family will be dragged out and shot?"

"Now all the nobles are paying attention, but you dare to assassinate the regent's son-in-law. Are you trying to kill us all?"

He waved his hand angrily and said, "Get lost!"

Noo Ieyasu was blushed by the scolding, but he didn't really get out, but hung his head in shame and indignation, sat there and didn't dare to say anything again.

He originally did not belong to the camp of King Jigan, but changed to vote halfway after Maoxiong Qianwang's side hit a wall, so King Jigan has always treated him very rudely, far worse than under the tent of King Jigan. other staff members.

"His Royal Highness, I think there is a way that may change the situation." At this time, the person in the lower part said: "If Your Highness can attract a few nobles to come forward and lobby Old Xuan Wang, the situation may change. .”

King Jigan frowned and asked, "How?"

The man leaned over and whispered a few words in King Jigan's ear. After listening for a while, King Jigan said hesitantly: "Old King Xuan is getting old, not only old and fatuous, but also can't even speak clearly. king……"

The man interrupted and said, "It's good to be old and stupid!"

"If the Supreme Emperor decides to appoint another outstanding young man as a candidate for his granddaughter, what can the other relatives say?"

"Don't they dare to accuse old King Xuan of being old and fatuous, violating tradition, and acting recklessly?"

King Jigan hesitated and said: "But, they will accuse me."

"They will definitely grow up and roar, accusing the king of slandering, using the elderly emperor to manipulate the selection of son-in-law, and even accusing me of deceiving the king."

The man shook his head and said with a smile: "So His Highness must win over the two nobles, and let them come forward, and His Highness can only stay behind the scenes, and cannot personally lobby the Supreme Emperor."

After hearing this, King Jigan thought for a long time, but he was unwilling to fail after all. He raised his eyebrows and decided, "Okay!"

At three o'clock in the afternoon, after the lunch break, Li Jiangnan took a shower, changed into more stylish clothes, and then followed Maoxiong Ganwang into the inner palace by car.

The process of selecting a son-in-law has been completed. If there is no accident, when Li Jiangnan enters the palace this time, Minister Konoha and others will be in front of the Supreme Emperor Renzhi, the regent Yumiko, several lords, and many noble clans. In front of it, it was announced that he was the candidate for the noble son-in-law, that is, Yumiko's fiancé.

As soon as he walked up the steps, before Li Jiangnan entered the reception hall, Huazi came out of the hall in a hurry. When passing by Li Jiangnan, Huazi coughed heavily and gave Li Jiangnan a wink.

Li Jiangnan's heart skipped a beat, and he said to King Maoxiong beside him, "Cousin, I'm going to the bathroom."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the door." Qianwang Maoxiong nodded.

Li Jiangnan left the entrance of the living room and walked to the other end of the corridor. Hanako poked her head out of a room secretly and waved to him.

"What's the situation?" Li Jiangnan quickly entered the room and closed the door.

Huazi said anxiously: "It's not good, it's not good, miss told me to come over quickly and inform you that something happened to the consort candidate."

Li Jiangnan frowned and asked, "What accident?"
