My martial arts rely on solving cases

Chapter 344
"The emperor wants to marry? It's been three years, have you forgotten?" Su Qing asked suspiciously.

"I thought so as a father at first, but this New Year I asked the family to find out if there is a girl of the right age. You are the eldest son of the father, and it is unreasonable to be unmarried at the age of twenty-four. But the emperor sent Director Wu to intervene again.

Afterwards, he made a secret decree to be a father, and there were many quibbles in his words, saying that your marriage holy mountain has long been arranged. "

Su Qing couldn't help but gritted her teeth when she heard it, "What does the emperor mean? Old man, can you analyze it for me?"

"The emperor likes to point out marriages. Who in the court doesn't know? Even other countries in China regard this as an interesting talk. But all the children who are close to the courtiers, the emperor has fingered marriages. Can be married by the emperor, in the civil and military circles I think it's an honor.

But if it's just an ordinary marriage, the emperor will definitely not be like this.Moreover, it is reasonable to say that you were ready for marriage three years ago, and the emperor should have pointed out that the marriage should have been delayed for three years.

I specially asked my uncles for my father's New Year, and the uncles also analyzed it and gave me a thorough understanding. The emperor probably wants you to be his son-in-law. "

"Consort? Can I be an official consort?" Su Qing asked without thinking.

In the eyes of ordinary people, concubines are a great thing, but in fact, concubines have been disliked since ancient times.The consorts of the Tang Dynasty had no real power and no human rights, and the concubines of the Song Dynasty could not be officials or businessmen and could only be a waste of food waiting to die.

If I had the same status as the son-in-law, Su Qing would definitely take off her official robe and throw it on the ground, I, Su Qing, would no longer be an official.

"Normally not!" Su Yuanan replied without hesitation.

"Forget it, old man, why don't we cook raw rice before the emperor speaks? You can't do it if you ask me to get you a grandson right away, but my son has a few confidante friends in Jianghu, daughter-in-law You can make a table of mahjong."

Su Yuan'an looked at Su Qing with quite gratified eyes, "He looks like a father! But the emperor has explained three years ago that you are deceiving the emperor by doing this behind the scenes, and the family does not allow you to do so.

Moreover, being a consort is not without benefits.In any case, he is also the emperor's own son-in-law, his status is not higher than that of his sons and daughters, but much stronger than that of his nephew.

You becoming a son-in-law will make the emperor feel more at ease with the family.The Su family has been in sole control of a cultural lineage for five hundred years, which has become a taboo for those in high positions.If it wasn't for the Su family's constant self-discipline, how could they be as happy as they are now?

But even if the Su family didn't shake the heart of imperial power, nearly one-fifth of the officials in Dayu Chaotang came from the Su family lineage.About one-third of the local grassroots came from the Su family.

The momentum of the Su family has become an established fact.If you don't want to conflict with the imperial power, there are only two ways, or take the initiative to give up the context, without the context, the Su family has nothing to worry about, and naturally nothing to fear.The second is to kill yourself, and the Su family will get two points or even three points.

Don't think that these concerns are far away, they are actually imminent.It will be on the table in less than twenty years.

The Su family saw it, the emperor saw it, and all the dignitaries of the court saw it.When the gang of elders in the current dynasty retreated and retreated, the Su family would really be the only one.

It's fine if the younger generations of the Su family don't live up to their expectations, but the three generations of the Su family are more up-to-date than each other.How did the Su family at that time allow the emperor, or later the emperor, to sleep soundly? "

"So you sacrificed the heart of Emperor An, an astounding and talented rising star of the Su family? If the Su family really intends to do this, don't blame me for falling out. Isn't he going to kill himself? Or start with me?"

"Well said, why are you so impatient?" Su Yuanan teased with a smile.

"Being a father is just to analyze the current situation with you. This is the fact before you. You have to admit it if you don't want to. But didn't you say it as a father? Generally speaking, a son-in-law cannot be an official, but there are other situations.

The first thing I said for my father is that you, Princess Shang, are the emperor's son-in-law.But if you are so important and capable that the emperor and the family are unwilling to give up on you, you can marry the princess.

Also a son-in-law, the princess married into the Su family as the wife of the Su family.Then, all the restrictions on the son-in-law will no longer exist.Just like folk marriages and marriages, there are no restrictions.But the precedent of a princess marrying is rare in all the countries in China, and Dayu has never done it in a hundred years. "

"What does the old man mean, this method is probably useless?" Su Qing asked angrily.

"Why are you so insecure?"

"Didn't you just say that? Dayu hasn't had such a case in a hundred years, how could he open it for me so easily?"

"My son, be humble. It is true that Dayu has not had such a precedent in a hundred years, but in a hundred years in Dayu, there has never been such a peerless arrogance as my son? There has been no such precedent in a century because my son was not born a hundred years earlier."

Su Qing looked at Su Yuanan's eyes, full of the pride of her old father.It was the first time that I felt so clearly that my weight in my father's heart was so overflowing.

It is said that no matter how good a son is, he is always a little bit worse in the eyes of his father.It's almost not that the father is dissatisfied with his son, but that he thinks his son can be better.But in Su Yuanan's eyes, Su Qing's excellence is already impeccable.

That's why I can say such things with such confidence.

Su Qing just smiled, "Old man, the two of us have been thinking about it so much in secret. Maybe the emperor doesn't want me to be his son-in-law at all."

"No! The family uncles' analysis is basically correct. There are only two princesses who are not yet married. One is Princess Anping, who is eight years younger than you. She was only thirteen years old three years ago, and the marriage is too young. But now She is sixteen years old and looks slim, so she should be ready to marry."

Su Qing opened her mouth, and there was a roar in her mind.

Eight years younger, only sixteen, beast!
"What's wrong with you? Princess Anping is the most beloved princess of the Holy Majesty. It is rumored that she is as beautiful as a maiden descended from heaven. She is no worse than your confidante, and she is born with a strange fragrance. When the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, there are butterflies dancing around her. You won't Such a reaction?"

"No, it's too young! If it has to be her, I'd rather wait another five years." Su Qing shook her head repeatedly.

"Aren't you young? Isn't it normal to marry at the age of sixteen? But what you said is not bad, a sixteen-year-old girl is too young. You are also like me in this respect, as a father, I don't like young people."

"Who's the other one? Won't it be smaller?"

"The other is the eldest daughter of the Holy One, Princess Changle! You may not have heard of Princess Changle, but she was the one who caused a sensation in the Nine Kingdoms back then.

Born with sword bones, he was sent to the East China Sea Sword Sect at the age of three and was accepted as a closed disciple by the then master of the Sword Sect.

The holy land is beyond the secular world, and it is unprecedented for the master of Jianzong to accept a princess from a country as his disciple, which caused a big disturbance.In the end, the suzerain of Donghai abdicated to end the turmoil, but the former suzerain of Jianzong would rather not be the suzerain to accept this closed disciple, which shows how extraordinary Princess Changle is.Princess Changle happens to be the same age as you. "

"This... is not very likely, right?" Su Qing opened her mouth and asked a little unconfidently.

Su Qing has always been confident about her identity and background.But hearing the exaggerated background of Princess Changle, Su Qing rarely felt guilty.

"It is indeed unlikely. The marriage of Princess Changle not only requires the approval of the emperor, but also the approval of the Sword Sect of the East China Sea. The most important thing is to be approved by Princess Changle. However, my son has a prosperous appearance that is not inferior to that of his father. Which woman does not have a heart?"

"Old man, I haven't really figured it out. How did you gain weight in middle age?"

"Back then, your mother was worried that my father would be too flirtatious to cause love debts, so she took me to eat delicious food from all over the world while we were playing games. Although my father knew about her schemes, she pretended not to do so in order to follow her heart.

Your mother took me all over China, and helped me raise a hundred and eighty catties by the way.Then something happened, your mother and I were in crisis, your mother blocked the blow for me regardless of her pregnancy, that's why I fell ill.Not long after giving birth to you, I let go.

Your mother is gone. I think this body of flesh was raised by your mother. I couldn't bear to lose it and kept it until now. "

Su Qing never expected that if she asked the old man why she was gaining weight, she would be forced to eat dog food.

Su Qing's eyes sank, "Who is the murderer who killed Mother? Did you avenge Mother?"

"Can I sleep without revenge? When we came back from danger, your uncle killed him directly. He slaughtered ten clans of the Ran family and also killed seventeen clans related to this incident. Our Su family has always said It is reasonable, but every time you talk about it, you will always encounter unreasonable people and things.

So if we are pushed, we will be unreasonable once or twice. "

At this moment, there was a breath coming from outside the door.It's just that when people reached the door, Su Qing didn't even notice the footsteps.

Su Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, her back tensed.

But I heard a charming and lazy voice from outside the door, "Yuan An, Su Qing, Second Sister said it's time for dinner."

Su Qing was stunned, looking at the old man with a complacent and awkward smile on his face, she gave a thumbs up silently.

"Your Aunt Gouyue will come back after staying for two days, so go eat."

Three days later, Su Yuan'an personally sent Su Qing and others onto the boat at the wharf of Luling Mansion.

"When you go to the capital, you need to restrain your temper and avoid troubles. My father knows that you have a youthful spirit, and you have to do things in peace. But you need to remember that it is the capital."

"Yes!"

"Also, don't live in your second grandfather's house when you go to the capital. I have already sent a letter to my classmate Qian Yong. He is now the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. You take the letter from your father to see him and stay with him temporarily. In the house, live in secluded places, there is no need not to go out."

"Why don't you stay at the Second Grandfather's house? It's been a long time since cousin Yuling and the others have seen each other."

"The third room and the second room have been at odds for many years."

Su Qing's face changed drastically, "Is there such a thing? Why didn't I know?"

"Of course there is no such thing, but we have to convince outsiders that there is such a thing. Have you forgotten that your father said before that the Su family would kill themselves?
When you arrive in the capital, your second grandfather will send someone to invite you, and you have to decline.Of course, if something important happens, you should also come to the door.

You need to remember one thing, measure.Refuse within the limits of your ability to refuse, and within the limits of your inability to refuse, don't give yourself the reputation of being impolite. "

"Yes!"

"Going to the capital, you have to be careful and careful, but it's not a big problem to have the second master in the capital. You just need to be careful but don't need to shrink back. Don't fall into the name of the Su family."

"The child obeys the instruction."

"Go!" Su Yuanan waved his hand, and the boat left the pier and headed east along the river.

Although the words are free and easy, but the face is full of reluctance.
