Sure enough, soon, the news that Xu He wanted Princess Shang spread.
When he entered the Yamen, all the officials congratulated him with smiles and clasped fists.
Especially a group of people of the same age who not only congratulated Xu He but also said with a smile that they would go and drink Xu He's wedding wine.
At this time, Zhang Wenkui and Gao Peng happened to come in together.
Seeing Xu He, Zhang Wenkui cupped his hands and said: "Master Xu, congratulations!"
After saying that, he nodded to Xu He and turned around to go to his own house.
Gao Peng stood still and said with a smile: "Liangsheng, is this true?"
Xu He said: "I don't know either, I just heard it from outside!"
Seeing that Xu He was still so tight-lipped, Gao Peng chuckled and said, "It's probably not groundless. Liangsheng is such a blessing. Originally, his official position was higher than ours. He became a princess and became the Prince Consort, which is directly beyond the reach of us. We can't even catch up!"
"Good luck, good luck!"
Xu He listened to his words and did not mean congratulations at all. He felt disgusted, so he cupped his hands and said: "Brother Runan, please stay with me!"
"Oh, wait a minute! Liangsheng, Prince Consort Sun Ang knows me. Do you want to introduce me to you? After all, Princess Shang has been there for decades, and she will also be your elder by then!"
Xu He glanced at him and said, "I don't need to look at it. I heard that since Prince Consort Sun married Princess Yunyang, he voluntarily resigned from his official position in the Hanlin Academy and returned to the princess's mansion to enjoy his happiness."
"But I was born to be a hard worker, and I like to look for things when I have nothing to do. Even if I become a princess, I will not quit writing in the Hanlin Academy, so I don't have anything to ask for advice. But Brother Runan, I will definitely ask you for advice when the time comes. !”
After saying that, Xu He flicked his sleeves and left.
Gao Peng looked at his back and his face suddenly darkened.
Although Xu He's words were polite in every word, they still stabbed him lightly.
Commander-in-Chief Prince Consort is a high-ranking official. If he, Xu Heruo, is still working as an editor and editor in the Hanlin Academy, even Qiu Teng, the bachelor of the Imperial Academy, will be polite when he sees him.
Isn't his so-called coming to ask for advice a naked warning?
"Hmph, what are you so proud of? How many princes-in-law and captains are in important positions in the country?"
"I'm afraid you want to be busy but you have nothing to do, so you still come to teach me? Go home and be taught by the princess and the mothers-in-law."
Thinking of this, Gao Peng flicked his sleeves and walked away with his head held high as if Xu He was right in front of him!
When they arrived at the public house, Zhang Tengxiao raised his head and glanced at Xu He and said: "Lingsheng, there are rumors outside that you want Princess Shang, is there such a thing?"
Xu He still respected this senior who took good care of him. He said honestly: "Brother Changzhi, when you won the top prize, did you ever encounter this kind of situation?"
"Princess Shang? No!"
"no!"
Zhang Tengxiao understood what Xu He meant.
That means Xu He is not very willing: "What? Liang Sheng has a crush on someone at home?"
"Um!"
Hearing this, Zhang Tengxiao was surprised by Xu He's frankness. He put down the brush, put it on the brush mountain, thought for a while and said, "Back then, when Xia Cifu was in the cabinet, he also wanted to marry his granddaughter to me!"
"Oh?" This was the first time he heard about this.
"Later, I declined, and he never mentioned it again, but Liangsheng, if His Majesty has made up his mind, you can't refuse, do you understand?"
Xu He nodded and sighed in his heart.
"But I have something to tell you from the bottom of my heart. Don't blame me for talking too much!" Zhang Tengxiao said seriously.
Xu He quickly stood up and bowed: "Brother Changzhi, just say it."
Zhang Tengxiao nodded and said: "Since there is nothing you can do about it, then don't think too much, thinking too much is useless!"
Xu He thought that the other party had any high opinions, but was disappointed when he heard this, so he nodded perfunctorily.
But Zhang Tengxiao has not finished his words: "Moreover, since you are married to the princess, you must not wrong the princess just because of the situation. Regardless of her status as a princess, she is also a woman who has been doted on by her parents since she was a child. , since you have a fate with the other person, you must cherish it, this is your life, if you can't resist it, you must manage this fate well."
When Xu He heard this, he sat up straight.
Zhang Tengxiao's words made him put aside his contempt.
Yes, everyone is raised by their parents. You, Xu He, have no right to ruin another person's life just because you consider Sister Gu's life. This is unfair to the princess.
"I understand, brother Changzhi, you are telling me that since I cannot bring happiness to the princess, I must firmly refuse this marriage!"
Zhang Tengxiao was shocked when he heard this. He quickly wiped the cold sweat on his head and said, "Liangsheng, that's not what I meant!"
"Forehead……"
"What I actually mean is that if you treat the princess well and make her happy, then is your confidante's matter still a problem?"
Xu He was shocked when he heard this!
"Also, after the errand is done and the emperor is happy, is your confidante's matter still a problem?"
Xu He was enlightened upon hearing this!
"If the emperor and the princess are satisfied, even if your confidante wants a status, is that still a big deal?"
Damn it, Lao Zhang is usually a quiet person, but at critical moments, he has ideas, and his ideas are very sexy!
"Is there any precedent to follow?"
"certainly!"
Hearing this, Xu He trembled and leaned forward: "I would like to hear Brother Changzhi explain in detail!"
"The consort of Princess Shouning during the reign of Emperor Wuzong, Xiao Cheng, Marquis of Qinghe, was Princess Shang as a concubine of the Hanlin Academy, and later served as the censor of Caojiang and the commander-in-chief of Jiangfang for eleven years. The princess lived in Jinling, and he took a concubine in Jingkou Four people! Emperor Wu Zong turned a blind eye to this matter!"
"Later, Princess Shouning passed away, and these concubines were directly admitted to the princess's mansion by Xiao Chengming!"
"Hey, is there such a thing?" Xu He Yahuazi sobbed in pain, "But what if I want to give that woman a status but don't want to wait so long?"
"When Xiao Cheng was serving as the Censor of Caojiang, he made great achievements in suppressing bandits in the Yangtze River, and the Yangtze River was peaceful for more than ten years. That's why Emperor Wu Zong valued him very much and allowed him to take concubines. Although he was impeached, the memorial has always been kept! "
"That's it!"
"But there is something wrong with Xiao Cheng. He doesn't respect the princess very much. On the surface, the relationship between the couple is okay, but privately, they have not slept together for more than ten years!"
"Brother Changzhi also knows?"
"I am the one who compiled "Records of Wuzong". I have the records of Wuzong's daily life in my hands. Do you want to turn it over to you? This is what Princess Shouning complained to Wuzong herself!"
"..."
"That's why I told you to be nice to the princess!"
I understand, I understand, in short, what Zhang Tengxiao means is that if you have the ability to make both the emperor and the princess recognize you, then even if you take a concubine, the royal family can turn a blind eye.
Seeing Xu He's excited look, Zhang Tengxiao patted him on the shoulder and said seriously: "Do you still think that writing "Records" is useless?"
Xu He shook his head wildly.
"Do you still think that Yan Ruyu in the book is empty talk?"
Xu He shook his head wildly.
"Then what are you waiting for? I've already wasted a lot of time today, so I'll finish it up before leaving!"
"..."
