"What can Cao Qing do?"
Jingtai changed his voice and asked.
Cao Zhengxian frowned and was about to say that he had no good solution. After all, although there was no enmity between him and Chen Yuan, his godson Yang Yuanqing had already formed a deadly feud with him.
Naturally, he didn't want to see Chen Yuan gain power.
But seeing the emperor's half-smiling expression, something suddenly moved in his heart, and he lowered his voice and asked:
"If the marriage is granted, does Your Majesty think it is feasible?"
When Chen Yuan was still in the capital, Jingtai had had this idea before, and some gossip spread because of this. It was obvious that he had been prepared for it.
Furthermore, if Chen Yuan was really disliked by Jingtai, why would he be so eager to transfer him back from Liangzhou?
It was obvious that he had already made a plan, and even the plan to suppress Chen Yuan as mentioned before was probably part of the plan.
It was to make Chen Yuan understand in his heart that if he wanted to reach a higher position, he must be loyal to the Sima family. Otherwise, how could the emperor refuse the candidates recommended by the Governor Gu Tianqiong before he resigned?
After hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Jingtai's face. Cao Zhengxian was actually thinking rightly. This was exactly what Jingtai was thinking.
He was indeed a little irritated and inexplicably disgusted with Chen Yuan, especially when the other party interfered with his plan.
But it was not his fault. He was only doing his best for the country at that time, and he did not care about his own life and death. Moreover, when Jingtai hoped to see the defeat of Wei Jinfeng, the king of Northern Liang, he never thought about a mere pill. Chen Yuan, who has a high level of cultivation, can do such a thing.
Moreover, with the potential shown by Chen Yuan, the royal family is bound to win over him.
At just over 20 years old, he rose to prominence in just a few years and reached the Huayang Realm. Looking around the world, no one else could be found besides him.
It can also mobilize the power of all living beings to activate the legendary fairy weapon Zhenwu Fairy Sword.
Extraordinary luck! Unparalleled talent!
How could the Sima royal family turn a blind eye to such a peerless genius who was about to fully mature? How can it be suppressed? You must win over to your side to find the right path.
With his growth trajectory, he has great hope of becoming a peerless true king in the future.
Moreover, his combat prowess is still the best among his contemporaries. If he becomes a peerless true king in the future, he will definitely be one of the pillars of the imperial court. The most important thing is that he will be loyal to the Sima family!
Become Jingtai's sharpest sword to wipe out the world's diseases!
He is now qualified to become a sword in his hand!
"Then which daughter does Cao Qing think I should give to Chen Yuan?"
Cao Zhengxian thought to himself, didn't the emperor ask the question knowingly?
How many daughters does he have in total?
Furthermore, it seems that ordinary princesses are not worthy of Chen Yuan, who is famous all over the world and shocked the world, right? Naturally, it would take the eldest princess Pingyang, who is both civil and military, and possesses both political integrity and talent.
However, he also knew the emperor's intention. Even if it was a marriage, for the sake of the royal family's face, the ministers had to mention it first. He immediately said in a serious voice:
"The eldest princess Pingyang is a good match for Chen Yuan!"
"Um"
Jingtai squinted his eyes and smiled:
"Cao Qing agrees with me."
"Your Majesty has given it careful consideration, and I am just complying with His Majesty's wishes."
"Then let me leave this matter to you first, right? Make some noise in the capital. This wedding is very important to me. By the way, when the time is almost right, I will ask Zhang Yantong to tell Chen Yuan , if he proposes marriage to me first, everyone will naturally be happy."
Jingtai smiled faintly.
"Yes, I understand."
"Well, let's go down."
"Old minister, please retire."
Cao Zhengxian bowed and slowly stepped back.
When the imperial study room was empty again, Jingtai reached out and picked up the pen resting on the inkstone, and wrote the name "Chen Yuan" on top of the spring grass painting he had just painted.
It's a bit harsh, but it seems to fit the scene well on the grass.
A faint sneer appeared at the corner of Jingtai's mouth.
Binding Chen Yuan and granting him a marriage is only the first step.
As long as the wedding ceremony is completed and the cause and effect are involved, he can naturally include Chen Yuan in the Sima clan and force him to swear an oath of heaven and earth to be loyal to the imperial court and the Sima royal family for the rest of his life!
Once the Dao Oath is established, the cause and effect of heaven and earth are established. As long as Chen Yuan still has some pursuits in the future, he will never betray the Sima family again and can only be obedient.
Naturally, others don't need it, nor are they worthy of him paying such a high price to plan and use spiritual objects to make oaths.
But Chen Yuan is different. He has a very bright future.
Furthermore, in fact, he is not at a loss. As long as he serves the Sima family honestly, he can still give him a lot of things, including power, status, and spiritual objects.
He will also fully use the huge foundation of the Sima royal family to help him improve his cultivation.
As long as he is a smart person, he will not refuse.
And if you really refuse, haha.
I’ve been to Sima Ke’s hometown, Chen Yuan, many times and it’s really good.
It was completely unexpected that Yang Guifei, who was usually dignified and noble, actually liked to eat a very famous dish in Jianghu, stir-fried roast chicken.
As a minister, Chen Yuan naturally wanted to show off his cooking skills.
Use all your strength to make this dish.
It wasn't until the sky got slightly brighter that everything was finished.
The whole room where cooking was being done was cluttered, and at the same time, there was a strong scent of heather.
The blazing sunshine fell in front of the window. Sensing someone approaching, Chen Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and shot out a ray of light. His physical body was strong and he naturally recovered quickly.
After putting on his clothes one by one, Chen Yuan looked back and saw that the imperial concubine, who was very satisfied with the dish, had not yet woken up. Her face was reddish and her long hair was messy.
There is an ornamental fish tank next to him. The fish in the fish tank have their bellies turned white and are floating slowly, as if they are dead, but this is normal.
Because Chen Yuan clearly saw that the fish's mouth was swollen to the size of Tao'er.
I don’t know what I ate blindly.
Chen Yuan shook his head and ignored it. When he stood up, his lower back was still a little sore. That dish really drained his cooking skills.
Before holding on to the wall and walking out of the room, Chen Yuan closed the curtain. The dead fish mouth could not be seen by outsiders, as it could easily cause trouble, and he had just closed the door.
The old housekeeper of the mansion came forward to greet him, bowed and said:
"Master Hou."
"What's the matter?"
Chen Yuan asked with a normal expression.
"Someone is coming from the palace."
"Declaration?"
"Yes, I still hold the imperial edict in my hand."
"Well, let's go and get the order."
Chen Yuan nodded and didn't feel any surprise. This was obviously a matter of being granted the title of Marquis yesterday. Jingtai's other rewards were still to come, so there was no reason to be surprised.
The angel in the palace was a young eunuch, wearing official uniform. He was holding a spiritual tea in his hand and shaking his head in an arrogant manner. He seemed a little arrogant and said nothing.
But when he saw Chen Yuan gradually approaching, his expression immediately changed, and his arrogance was replaced by flattery. He quickly put down the spiritual tea in his hand, took a few steps forward, and bowed:
"My servant Liu Yong has met Marquis Wu'an."
Today's Chen Yuan is different from before. Marquis Wanhu is definitely a top noble. He is a little eunuch. Even if he relies on the power of heaven, he does not dare to put on any airs.
That is totally seeking death.
"Well, Eunuch Liu, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, it's not hard. It's my honor to meet the world-famous Marquis. Before coming, Your Majesty also said that the Marquis had already worked hard last night and asked me to come later."
Liu Yong had a sarcastic smile on his face.
Normally, most decrees are announced in the early morning, but the emperor chose to let him come later, which shows the favor of the newly promoted Marquis of Wanhu.
There was something strange on Chen Yuan's face. How did Jingtai know that he had worked hard? Are you specifically asking people to come later?
"How does Your Majesty know?"
"I don't know, but I think the princes entertained the Marquis at a banquet yesterday. They must have drank a lot of wine." Liu Yong said in a low voice.
Jingtai is really considerate.
Chen Yuan shook his head and chuckled, then said:
"Then father-in-law will declare the decree."
"Yes, we all listen to the Marquis."
Liu Yong bowed, then with a straight face he picked up the imperial edict wrapped in yellow cloth, coughed a few times, cleared his throat, and said loudly:
"The Marquis of Wu'an, Chen Yuan, listens to the order."
Chen Yuan looked solemn, bowed and clasped his fists.
"The Marquis of Wu'an, Chen Yuan, has won my heart deeply. He is young and meritorious, and he is neither arrogant nor impetuous. He is mine. I will give you thousands of taels of gold, thousands of pieces of brocade, and a Lingcha Mansion."
But in theory, these things are nothing, but if they are added up, they are definitely not small. Chen Yuan was also given a very high-quality Hou Mansion.
In short, it must be on the card.
"Master Marquis, you accept the order."
Liu Yong quickly stepped forward, bowed and closed the imperial edict and presented it to Chen Yuan.
"Thank you very much."
"Master Marquis, you are welcome."
"Come here, send Eunuch Liu off," Chen Yuan smiled.
"No, no, I can just leave by myself."
After saying that, he bowed again and left quickly with his entourage, not even daring to accept the usual silver coins.
But this makes sense, Chen Yuan's reputation is not only good, but also has many bad reputations, a reputation gained through hard fighting with a knife and a gun.
The little eunuch didn't dare to collect money.
After casually giving the imperial edict to the butler on the side, Chen Yuan stretched out his waist and stayed in the backyard for a while before moving to another room to rest.
As the news spread one after another, the news that Chen Yuan was granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households also began to spread outside the capital. Under the huge intelligence network of Dengxian Tower, it only took a short time to spread to dozens of people around him. A state capital.
Suddenly, Chen Yuan caused quite a turmoil in the world and official circles.
Marquis Wu'an!
Food for thousands of households!
The fiefdom of Ping'an County!
Every piece of news is huge, and Chen Yuan caused even greater turmoil in Qingzhou and Tangshan. After all, this is his home ground and the place where he rose to prominence.
When Wu Qingfeng, the magistrate of Pingan County, got the news, he was so frightened that he could no longer hold the tea cup in his hand, and the scene from a few years ago flashed through his mind again.
At that time, Chen Yuan was still bowing in front of him, not daring to offend him in the slightest.
But now, the other party has become famous in Qingzhou, and the entire Baili Pingan County has become his fiefdom. It stands to reason that he can take his position casually.
After taking a few long breaths, Wu Qingfeng calmed down and immediately summoned all the county officials, especially the head catcher Wang Ping, to see where to build a large mansion for the Marquis of Wu'an.
Whether he comes back or not is his business, but if he neglects, Wu Sha Mao will not be protected.
In those few days, the entire Pingan County became lively. Everyone knew that a powerful man had come out of the county, and he held a high and powerful position in the dynasty.
Wang Ping's status has risen unprecedentedly.
Although he was just a head catcher, even the county magistrate and county lieutenant had to look at his face, and even wanted to please him.
Of course, Wang Ping also knew the pros and cons and did not dare to show off his prestige. He was a down-to-earth person and established a good reputation for Brother Yuan.
The most talked about among the neighbors was Chen Yuan, the noble marquis, saying that it was a pity that Xiaofang was not lucky enough to become the imperial wife.
After Zhao Nanshan heard this, he stroked his beard and laughed, saying that he had not misjudged the person at first.
In just a few years, this achievement has been achieved.
How many people can there be in this world?
The most lively ones are the many Goulan brothels in Ping'an County. Many girls have hosted Chen Yuan in his early years and are proud of them.
They even deliberately drove up the price because of this.
When Wang Ping found out, he directly ordered rectification.
We cannot let these filthy places stain Brother Yuan's reputation.
Tangshan Prefecture and Ping'an County had similar reactions, very lively.
Feeling honored for Chen Yuan's achievements, his prestige reached its peak.
Even the government took the initiative to publicize it, and some restaurant merchants who benefited from Chen Yuan's rectification at that time were offering discounts or even free of charge.
It’s also a wonderful sight.
Liangzhou's reaction was the same.
After all, the foundation of Chen Yuan's title was laid in the battle in Liangzhou City. However, no one felt jealous or bad. Instead, they felt that this was the honor that Chen Yuan deserved.
The youngest marquis in the Jin Dynasty.
Even Chen Yuan himself didn't expect that a marquis he didn't care much about would cause such a huge shock.
Many of his previous reputations, whether it was Demon Sword, No. 1 on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, or the peerless genius who dominated an era, these reputations were basically in the world.
There is a gap between them and ordinary people. Most of them don't even know the divisions of martial arts realms. They only know that Chen Yuan is a very powerful warrior.
But the Marquis was different.
The words "a good man becomes a marquis and a general" have long had a huge status in the hearts of the people. This is what they expect from their descendants. Now that Chen Yuan has done it, his reputation has naturally increased greatly.
This is the real world-famous thing.
Compared with Jianghu, the base of hundreds of millions of people in the world is even larger.
Those who win popularity win the world!
Chen Yuan is starting to lay a solid foundation for himself step by step.
However, these things are things for later.
Chen Yuan, who had been working hard all night, did not know that there would be such a huge shock. He also expected it. After all, he had had a lot of experience in the past, and he was used to shaking the world.
But the movement caused this time was something he had never thought of before.
The sleeping Chen Yuan was alerted by the Heavenly Book. Obviously, several Taoist masters of the Taoist Palace also got the news in a very short period of time.
The main thing is to congratulate him.
On the other hand, I wanted to ask if there were any other rewards besides marquis.
Chen Yuan said before that he wanted to be enfeoffed to Shuzhou and take charge of it. When did he start planning, they might as well secretly remove the golden envoy of Shuzhou.
But Chen Yuan asked them to wait a little longer.
The issue of enfeoffment will be put on hold for a while, and then we can start planning the matter with all our strength after the Heavenly Envoy is appointed.
Upon hearing this, several people began to talk about it.
However, the focus is on Gu Tianqiong's resignation as the Commander-in-Chief of the Sky Patrol Division.
They are all smart people, and they can see the planning behind things like Jingtai, and say that this is deliberately directed to Chen Yuan.
Otherwise, if it really comes down to major matters, Gu Tianqiong's matter is obviously the bigger one.
Several Taoist masters spoke, and even Jiang He said that Jingtai might have serious intentions, and advised him to leave the capital as soon as possible to avoid affecting Chen Yuan.
But the only strange thing is that Su Ziyue, who is usually very active, is not online.
The starlight that belongs to her is very dim.
Chen Yuan called her once, but received no response.
The other Taoist masters said that there was no need to worry too much. Su Ziyue should still be practicing and would contact them even if something went wrong.
The purpose of Dao Shen Palace is equal exchange, but they have been old friends for decades or even hundreds of years, and they owe each other an unknown amount of favors.
In many cases, it is not necessary to pay a price for the Dao Master to take action.
Favors are the most important!
Seeing that no one had much reaction, Chen Yuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but think of the last time he contacted them.
What Su Ziyue said.
Asking him to help, I don’t know what it is.
He chatted a lot with several Taoist masters in the room. When the time was almost up, he ended the contact, calmed down, walked to the door of the main room where he usually lived, and knocked.
Concubine Yang's faint voice came from inside:
"Enter."
Chen Yuan pushed the door open and walked in. Concubine Yang had completely woken up and was wearing Chen Yuan's clothes. She had nothing to worry about.
Chen Yuan is a cautious character and will not expose her.
There must be a ban left.
She was right. Chen Yuan had ordered the servants in the mansion that no one should go within the confines of his room, and he also left a ban to prevent others.
"Your Majesty, are you awake?"
Chen Yuan asked with a smile.
Concubine Yang looked at Chen Yuan's rosy face in the bronze mirror and said angrily:
"This is the first time I've gotten up so late."
"It's no wonder Wei Chen, at that time"
"Don't say it."
Concubine Yang snorted a few times.
Chen Yuan coughed twice, stopped joking, and said seriously:
"Have you not forgotten what you said before?"
"What words?"
"A secret about His Majesty."
Chen Yuan stared at her with burning eyes and said.
Concubine Yang frowned, thought deeply for a moment, and said in a deep voice:
"This matter was also discovered by me accidentally."
"Um?"
"Once I accidentally entered the Royal Garden and saw His Majesty practicing. His body was covered with bloody scars, with bones visible, and there was a faint black airflow surrounding it. Although it was just a glimpse, I was still very impressed. .”
