Quick wear: The male supporting actor ran away with a bucket

Chapter 138 The paranoid male protagonist is an adopted son 9

With the situation calm at the border, the emperor once again issued an imperial edict requiring Yuan Zhan to return to Beijing immediately without delay.

Wu Zhao, Yuan Zhan's personal soldier, rushed in and said: "Your Highness, you have finally stabilized the situation in three years. Now that the Wu tribe has not been destroyed, they are still watching the border. This dog emperor is recruiting you to the capital now. He is uneasy and kind. Your Highness is very cruel." Don’t be fooled, if another general comes along who just wants to make a living, it’s going to be doomed.”

Since Yuan Zhan took over the border, he has run the army strictly, clearly distinguishing rewards and punishments, never greedy for credit, and is good at mobilizing troops and forming formations. He has greatly reduced the mortality rate of soldiers. In just three years, he has gained the trust of almost everyone.

Yuan Zhan frowned: "Have you asked Master to teach you the etiquette of talking to others recently? Why are you so full of foul language?"

Wu Zhao showed a guilty expression, his face turned dark, and he said sheepishly: "I can't learn this, I might as well practice more marksmanship in the martial arts field."

Yuan Zhan said helplessly: "I have my own plans for this matter, please step back first."

Wu Zhao reluctantly withdrew.

Wu Zhao was extremely powerful, brave and good at fighting. Yuan Zhan wanted to focus on training him, but his brain was not very good and he spoke without thinking. Yuan Zhan asked him to read more books, but it was of no use.

Yuan Zhan put down the imperial edict, but his mood was not affected at all. Over the years, he had known that the emperor would take action, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

After receiving the imperial edict, Yuan Zhan set off back to the capital. When he arrived at the Jinluan Palace, the emperor politely said that the border war had subsided and Yuan Zhan, as the prince, should stay in the capital. Yuan Zhan did not hesitate to hand over the tiger talisman to show his loyalty. The emperor was overjoyed and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He rewarded Yuan Zhan with ten thousand taels of gold and some false fame, and let Yuan Zhan leave.

Yuan Zhan became an ordinary prince again, sitting around in his Prince War palace playing tricks on the birds. Others talked about Yuan Zhan's righteousness, but at the same time they seemed to be gloating about his misfortune.

After working hard to guard the border for three years, I got nothing. What's the use of a false reputation.

Tu Yufan also gained his freedom. He found Yuan Zhan and saw that his face was as normal as usual and he was still in the mood to enjoy flowers and birds. However, his face was stern, he stood upright, stretched out his hand to play with the parrot, and his strange painting style made people laugh. He smiled and said: "It seems that you are in a good mood these days, and you have become a wealthy and idle person."

Yuan Zhan's cold expression softened a little: "After years of fighting, it's good to rest for a while."

Tu Yufan said meaningfully: "Since you have achieved success, it's good. When you return to the battlefield, you will be what the people want."

Although the Wu tribe is torn apart, it does not mean that it will die down. It can maintain a delicate peace, but it is just afraid of Yuan Zhan. It will depend on which of the emperor's cronies can chew this bone.

However, Yuan Zhan hid in the house and could not come out, but trouble came to him.

The emperor ignored him for a while and then summoned him to the palace.

Yuan Zhan was so annoyed that he entered the meeting hall and saw Concubine Sheng sitting nearby. She was wearing an underskirt that did not hide her plump figure. Her makeup was gorgeous and her hair was decorated with gold hairpins and jewelry, but she did not look tacky. Every look and smile is charming, no wonder the emperor was so fascinated that he couldn't find Bei.

"Yuan Zhan, you are now more than 20 years old. Yuan Xi, who is younger than you, has a legitimate son and daughter. Now you no longer need to go to the border. I have chosen a princess for you, who is Yuanyuan's niece. Pinghou's legitimate daughter Feng Rongshuang has a good temperament and is about the same age, so she is a perfect match for you."

Yuan Yuan was Concubine Sheng. She looked at Yuan Zhan with a smile on her face, but the smile did not reach her eyes, and there seemed to be a hint of mockery.

Who doesn't know that Feng Rongshuang is famous for being domineering and domineering. The reason why she hasn't gotten married yet is because no one dares to marry her.

When Feng Rongshuang was sixteen years old, she had a fiancé who was the son of the Shangshu Mansion. Because she favored the maid, Feng Rongshuang rushed directly to the Shangshu Mansion and beat the girl to death. Her fiancé was not spared either and was beaten on the knee. After being whipped a few times, I almost lost my ability.

Under the influence of Concubine Sheng's pillow, the emperor handled the matter lightly, appeased the Shangshu Mansion, and restrained Feng Rongshuang, leaving the matter undisturbed.

After that, the prince in the capital took a detour when he saw Feng Rongshuang. Later, Marquis Xuanping talked about marriage several times, but they all fell apart. The other party either married other women overnight, or ruined his reputation and was unwilling to marry her.

Originally, Concubine Sheng didn't like Yuan Zhan at all, but he has been in the limelight in the past few years. Although he has now returned the military power, for the sake of safety, she still betrothed her niece to him to facilitate monitoring and control. The niece's reputation has been ruined, so she married Idle Prince is also a good place to go.

Although Yuan Zhan didn't live long in the capital, he had control over most of the things there, and he also knew what Feng Rushuang was.

"I heard that the young master of Shangshu Mansion used to be good at riding and shooting, but now he doesn't even have the strength to mount a horse." Yuan Zhan said.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across the emperor's face: "Why are you mentioning him when he's so good?"

Yuan Zhan said: "If you want to betroth Feng Rushuang to your son, I should apologize first."

The emperor looked solemnly and asked, "What are you asking for?"

"These sons have killed too many enemies over the years and have become demonic. If Feng Rushuang marries me, and if there is any dispute, I may accidentally kill her. I hope my father will forgive me in advance." When he said the word "kill", his pupils suddenly turned red, and the emperor instantly felt the evil spirit rushing towards him. Even if he had been in power for many years, his heart would not stop for a moment.

Concubine Sheng almost collapsed to the ground. After reacting, she immediately became angry and asked: "Is His Royal Highness the War King threatening me?" When she turned to the emperor, she turned into another face and said softly and submissively: "Your Majesty, so are I. I gave him a good marriage with good intentions, but he said arrogantly, Your Majesty wants to make the decision for me."

Yuan Zhan said expressionlessly: "Father, my subject has guarded the border for three years and made countless military exploits. Do you want to punish me for this unfounded reason? I'm afraid this won't stop the world from talking."

The emperor's eyes froze, and he couldn't help but feel angry, but he remembered that he had taken away Yuan Zhan's military power and left him free in the palace. There were already rumors that the emperor had listened to villains and killed donkeys, so he had to restrain his anger.

"Furthermore, I have always been a loner. My father doesn't like our brothers to form cliques. If I marry my mother's niece, I will have no choice but to join the faction of the two emperors."

Concubine Sheng secretly thought that it was not good, the emperor was suspicious all day long, but Yuan Zhan actually dared to say anything and was too courageous. I am afraid that your majesty has now suspected that she is trying to win over the prince for King Su.

Sure enough, the emperor looked at Concubine Sheng in surprise, with a flash of doubt.

"I understand, but you are indeed old, and you need to marry the princess. I will choose a few more when the time comes, and I will wait and see."

"Yes, I will retire."

There was no hint of happiness or anger in the emperor's expression. Concubine Sheng took one look but did not dare to speak.

Chaoyang Palace

"Concubine, why did you call me here?" King Su said respectfully.

Concubine Sheng said coldly: "Find an opportunity to kill the King of War. He deliberately caused His Majesty to doubt us yesterday. This person is not as simple as imagined."

King Su said in embarrassment: "Now is a troubled time. The war king has been in the capital for a long time, so it is difficult to take action, and it is easy for the prince to get caught."

Concubine Sheng was very upset. She always felt that the King of War was not that simple, but now was really not a good time to take action, so she had to hold her breath and endure it.
