wait for another year

"Being husband and wife, there is no doubt about love and affection. Princess, do you think this is the case?"

No one expected that Xuanyuan Hui would turn something so simple into something so complicated.

Shen Mi sighed in his heart, it seems that King Su wants to have both, the country and the beauties are in my hands.

In a blink of an eye, this hot potato was thrown back to Zhao Xu. If he received the order, even if he could hold the post of Situ, he would not be able to get rid of his status as a concubine. , not only embarrassing Xuanyuan Hui, but also...

At that time, the position of concubine will be vacant, and the rest will persuade Xuanyuan Huiguang to accept the harem, and there will be no possibility between them.

Xuanyuan Hui was a person who could be said to be transparent when he was smart, but he was very confused when it came to "love". Even now, Zhao Xu still couldn't tell whether Xuanyuan Hui really had feelings for him, or just wanted to take advantage of him. Checking and balancing the gentry by himself, or being nostalgic for five or six years of wind and rain... He was already cutting things and making chaos, let alone letting go, but he was forced to this critical point.

"Princess, are you still not accepting the order?" Shou Ning reminded in a low voice.

Zhao Xu raised his head slowly, and Xuanyuan Hui was also looking at him.

Hundreds of people were waiting, but they stared at each other unhurriedly, as if meeting each other for the first time.

I don't know when, Xuanyuan's dark blue eyes are no longer as clear as the blue sky, but as bottomless as Xiu Tuze. The only thing that remains the same is that his face can still be reflected in them.

At this moment, that stern face was full of vigilance and suspicion, compared with the eager anticipation in Xuanyuan Hui's eyes, it looked extremely hateful.

He watched Xuanyuan Hui's jumping for joy slowly subside, and his expression was a bit depressed.

"The minister accepts the order."

Before she had time to think about it, Zhao Xu blurted it out, and then scolded herself in her heart—the child has grown up, and is no longer the innocent and naive of the past. Attitude, attract yourself to submit.

But I still eat this kind of thing, and I am distracted for a while, but I can't get over it in a blink of an eye.

"My lord, this is absolutely impossible!"

I don't know which rotten scholar suddenly made an attack, Xuanyuan Hui ignored him, but lifted Zhao Xu up, pulled him to sit next to him, and smiled, "Oh? Where can't it be? Why can't it be?"

"Concubine Su is a man's wife, so she should not be an official anymore. This is one of them; second, since Zhao Situ is an orderly official, she cannot be another's wife." Your lord, think twice, don't break the decency of your ancestors, chill the hearts of all officials and scholars, and become the laughing stock of the world, lord!"

Zhao Xu knew this person, he seemed to be a Qing guest of Bairi Society, it is pitiful to think about the late emperor, there are too few people in the world who are willing to not attach to Deng's family but to be loyal to Zhengshuo, so that if they are loyal, Bairi Society accepts everyone, The results were mixed.

"You mean, either let the princess resign, or let the king divorce his wife?" Xuanyuan Hui raised his eyebrows.

That rotten scholar still stuck his neck, "That's right, that's exactly what I mean."

Xuanyuan Hui sneered and said: "The first emperor ordered that this king can handle Suzhou affairs on his own, but this king doesn't know why it is your turn to point fingers at this king's family affairs. If you are really worried about state affairs so much, then go to assist Sikong , be a weir head."

"My lord, the old minister is loyal to the country, but he is treated like this by the lord..." Before the rotten scholar got angry, he listened to Xuanyuan Hui said, "Shen Mi, what do you think?"

Shen Mi wanted to be a puppet with other people, but unexpectedly, he was pointed out. It was a bad time, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "If you go back to the prince, this is the prince's family business, and the officials dare not say more."

He put aside the relationship, and Xuanyuan Hui was not surprised. He glanced at him and said to himself: "The ancients often said, 'If there are disadvantages in the law, it must not be changed', and there is also a human way, 'Things have changed, it is appropriate to change the law'. In my humble opinion, even It is the law handed down by the ancestors. It may be said to be perfect at the time, but after all, it has been a hundred years, so I am afraid it is not appropriate? Today, in short, all the officials are here, so it is better for me to abolish it in Suzhou. The rules...Zhao Situ, this king dictates, you come to draw up the order."

Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she was the unlucky Zhao Situ, so she quickly got up and took the pen and paper from Shouning.

"First of all, my Suzhou can be prosperous today, except for settlement and reclamation, it depends entirely on the business way. From then on, the sons of merchants can also become officials, but they are not allowed to be officials in their hometown, county, or state, and they are not allowed to be involved in renting money. office in the yamen."

"Secondly..." Xuanyuan glanced at the expressions of the people below the steps indifferently, and saw that many people had shown expressions of anger and indignation. He knew that everything should not be too worrying, so he just said, "A man can be a man, a wife or a concubine. Farmers, merchants, craftsmen, and regular wives, if they have meritorious service, they can also become officials."

Zhao Xu wrote like a fly, and in an instant, he replaced these dictated words with grandiose and elegant sentences, and they fell on the silk paper eloquently.

Xuanyuan Hui leaned over to look at it, and said with a smile, "Splashing a pen and splashing ink, it's done in one go. I have never seen someone who is as agile as Zhao Situ!"

"My lord is absurd." Zhao Xu bowed his head slightly.

The two of them complimented each other, but the hearts of the officials had already set off turbulent waves.

The old ministers of Suzhou, such as Shen Mi, were not so shocked because they had known the influence of the princess on King Su over the years, but instead had a sense of foresight that "it should have been so long ago".

In fact, the gentry family didn't care whether Zhao Xu was the princess or not. The position of Situ is already high and powerful, and the title of princess has not been taken away, which proves that Zhao Xu is actually No. 1 under King Su. For the gentry who have no roots in Suzhou, it is undoubtedly an extra layer of protection.

The most difficult thing to accept is mainly two groups of people. One is the members of the Bairi Club left by the late emperor to Zhao Xu. I am afraid, seeing so many elites of the gentry come to vote from thousands of miles away, I feel even more crisis in my heart; the second is the power received by Xuanyuan Zhuo.

Whether it was an old official from Suzhou or a scholar from a noble family, Zhao Xu was actually standing behind them.

It was Zhao Xu who offered advice to Xuanyuan Hui, and worked hard with him to forge such a group of capable officials who understand the people's sentiments and are good at managing politics.

It was Zhao Xu who wrote the book and contacted him, and even went out of the mountain himself, that made the several big families make up their minds.

In terms of emotion and reason, Zhao Xu will be more partial to the gentry and the old ministers of Suzhou. If King Su obeys Zhao Xu's words, what is the way out for them?

Thinking about it this way, these people felt glaring when they looked at Su Wang and his wife who were talking and laughing at Yanyan on the steps, and their gazes on Zhao Xu were as if soaked in frost and poison.

Zhao Xu glanced at them lightly, then smiled leisurely again.

Not self-sufficient.

My lord, my EQ is low, don't expect to get it done all at once.

In fact, the biggest problem for the princess is that she lacks military power
