Chapter 40 Rest assured, Your Highness, we won't say if we kill you! (Ask for a monthly ticket)
Xu Da was confused, and then he heard that he had joined His Highness of the Liao Dynasty to break into the Duke of Wei's mansion and rob people, including many noble children, such as Li Qi, the son of Li Shanchang's family, Li Jinglong, the son of Li Wenzhong, etc.
There were many nobles who were not in Yingtian Mansion at this time, but Li Shanchang and the other nobles were there, and Xu Da was also familiar with them, so he went directly to ask.
Li Shanchang was working in another government office at this time. When he heard that his son Li Qi had actually followed His Highness to the Duke of Wei's mansion and snatched Xu Da's daughter Xu Miaoyun away, Li Shanchang was also confused.
However, we still need to express our opinions on this matter. Don’t worry, Duke Wei will teach Li Qi a good lesson when he comes home from get off work! The other nobles naturally answered the same.
As for the problem with his daughter, he must arrange someone to go to His Highness the King of Liao to ask if it was a little girl who offended His Highness the King of Liao or some misunderstanding.
Thinking of this, Xu Da was about to arrange someone to go, but an internal official came over and said:
"Dude, Your Majesty and the Empress invite you to come and have refreshments."
Use refreshments? When did the emperor start to eat pastries? Xu Da was confused, but the emperor and the queen called him to go, and he didn't dare to delay, so he could only arrange for the servants to go back and inquire about the situation.
He was soon led into the palace by the inner officials, and saw a yard with spring flowers blooming, with a table of pastries and tea placed in the open air under the peach tree.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma both had smiling faces and looked in a very good mood.
Xu Da was worried and was thinking about how to report to His Highness the King of Liao snatching his daughter. Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to sit down first, then exchanged a few greetings and went straight to the point:
"Xu Tiande, I heard that your family has a daughter who is beautiful and wise, virtuous and kind. It just so happens that my third brother is at the age of marriage. You are the Duke of the State and you are with the country. Why not be as good as my family to have a relative and marry each other."
After Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, Xu Da stared at Zhu Yuanzhang blankly, "What a guy, you are afraid that I will not agree, so you asked your son to steal the person first, right?" You two are the 80-year-old father-in-law playing a monkey - an old trick?
Xu Da thought this in his heart, and he definitely didn't dare to say it, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this might be the case. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was really possible to do this. Xu Da is Zhu Yuanzhang's old brother, and he has never seen any scene before.
After hesitating for a while, Xu Da said:
"Your Majesty, it's not that I'm not happy, but my daughter is arrogant and unreasonable. She likes to read some books that scholars read. She especially likes to do things and write. She is not interested in Nu Hong at all. I'm afraid that she won't serve His Highness the King of Liao."
Queen Ma smiled and said:
"Who doesn't know the name of your daughter? Besides, after marrying the third brother, we can still make your daughter do rough and tiring work. The third brother is a talented man, and your daughter is a talented woman, and she is just right."
Zhu Yuanzhang also grinned and knew how to smile and said:
"Yes, yes, the more I think I feel it is appropriate."
Looking at the couple's posture, Xu Da knew that this level could not be escaped.
Well, he is the emperor, who can refuse to seek in-laws with you? Xu Da didn't refuse, just smiled bitterly:
"Since the Queen said that, I have no objection, but can we follow the process?"
Follow the process? Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma looked at each other. Isn’t this just following you according to the process?
Queen Ma reacted quickly and nodded:
"This is naturally, it is impossible for the prince to have a big wedding."
"I don't mean that." Xu Da continued to smile bitterly, "I mean, can you let His Highness the King of Liao return the little girl first?"
This time it was Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma's turn, and they were stunned.
"ah?"
—————
On the other hand, Zhu Qicai pulled Xu Miaoyun to the side of the wall, waiting for the nobles to come up to have a reconciliation. Xu Zengshou naturally came over, and he also wanted to take everyone over the wall.
As soon as Xu Zengshou came, he looked at Xu Miaoyun, who was pulled by Zhu Qi, and was stunned at that time. He looked at His Highness the King of Liao hesitating for a long time before saying:
"Dian, Your Highness, have you pulled the wrong person?"
Zhu Qi was stunned, thinking that Xu Zengshou was reluctant to let such a beautiful little maid go, and said earnestly:
"Xu Zengshou, people should look to the future and look at the poems and the distance. Don't pay too much attention to the things around you near you. You have three thousand weak waters, and I will only drink a scoop of you..."
After saying this, Xu Zengshou was confused by the fact that the monk pointed at Xu Miaoyun and said:
"Your Highness, this is my sister Xu Miaoyun, not the maid of the Xu family."
What? This is your sister Xu Miaoyun?!
Zhu Qi was shocked at the time and looked at Xu Miaoyun who was blinking at him. If he hadn't been weak, he would have wanted to lift her up, throw it back twice and throw it back into the yard!
This is not a beautiful girl, this is such a big Ivan!
The other noble children also knew that something was causing trouble. It would be reasonable to come to the Duke of Wei’s mansion to rob a little maid. What’s wrong with the prince robbing a maid? What’s more, there is a Taoist priest’s interpretation of the signing and prophecy, and the marriage was decided in his previous life. This is a good thing to praise.
But now the maid has become the daughter of Duke Wei! That's another matter!
Who is Duke of Wei? Xu Da! After more than ten years of war, except for the battle in Lingbei the previous year, it was really a victory in every battle. The leader of the Ming Dynasty's military generals and famous generals in the world!
His daughter also got it if she said she wanted to rob her? What's more, Xu Da had a good relationship with their father...
Li Qi's face turned pale at that time, his legs were trembling, and his lips were also unsatisfied. The others reacted similarly to him, and then Li Qi said tremblingly:
"I didn't come today, I didn't come today..."
Of course, Li Qi's self-paralyseness is useless. When he broke in and stopped the maids, Li Qi's voice was the loudest, and he shouted and said, "Do you know who I am! The number one warrior under the command of the King of Liao, the son of Duke Xuan, is Li Qi!"
Zhu Qi was also a little dizzy, and his legs were weak at that time. Fortunately, the nobles and nobles were supporting him, and they all looked at His Highness the King of Liao with concern, but they didn't know what to do.
What else can I do? If I do something wrong, I will stand firm and be beaten. Zhu Qi planned to send Xu Miaoyun back and then take the initiative to admit his mistake. However, Zhu Di made a fuss and said:
"Third brother, things have come to this point and there is no room for maneuver. Why don't we just do it all the time..."
Ah? Emperor Yongle, have the rebellious gene in your bones started to attack again?
Zhu Qi looked at Zhu Di in a daze, but heard Zhu Di say:
"...Pretending to be foolish! If you want to be beaten up, we will steal the daughter of the Duke and the maid of the Duke. That is the crime of two deceptions. If we bite to death, we will steal the maid of the Duke. I don't know that this is the daughter of the Duke!"
When Zhu Qi heard Zhu Di say this, he recovered. Yes, there were so many preparations in the early stage, so he said that he thought he was a maid, but it wasn't considered a word anyway, so he really didn't know that he was the daughter of the Duke.
Thinking of this, I felt more and more that Xu Zengshou was unreliable to do things. I asked you to inquire about individuals. If you asked if the information you gave was fake, you could see if it was fake.
Zhu Qi was the backbone of everyone, and he slapped his thigh and said:
"Ah yes yes! That's it!"
The nobles also recovered at this time, and Li Jinglong hurriedly said:
"Your Highness, we not only have to pretend to be confused, but we also have to retreat as we advance. Let's take the initiative to talk about this, otherwise it will be too late to wait for the emperor and our father to come and ask!"
When Zhu Qi heard this, it made sense, and the others nodded one after another.
Xu Miaoyun understood what was going on, stood beside him and couldn't laugh and cry, and pointed at himself and looked around:
"What about me? How should I cooperate with you?"
The other noble children were in a complicated mood when they looked at Xu Miaoyun. Xu Zengshou was already stupid and said without hesitation:
"You should just say nothing, just be frightened by His Highness Liao, and now you are mute."
Zhu Qi reacted quickly and pushed Xu Zengshou aside with laughter and tears:
"You boy is now rebelling? She has become a mute. Am I more guilty?"
After saying that, he looked at Xu Miaoyun and said:
"Sister Xu, you said you have shown your identity, but we just don't believe it."
Xu Miaoyun nodded. Of course, she didn't want to see His Highness the King of Liao and others who were unlucky because of this.
As for Xu Zengshou, Zhu Qi hurriedly sent him away and asked him to go back to the house to sleep. He pretended to be ignorant of any question. As for other noble children, they should not expose themselves. Then no one should say anything. He would bite him to death and he would not know that Xu Miaoyun is the daughter of the Duke of Wei. Let's bite the bullet and take it down together, and no one should betray anyone.
The noble children, including Xu Zengshou, all swore to the heavens that your Highness would be assured that we would not say even if we beat them to death!
When Zhu Qi saw everyone's loyal look, he felt relieved and pulled Xu Miaoyun to run to the palace. Zhu Yuanzhang certainly didn't dare to look for it. Let's go find Queen Ma first, it's still reliable for his biological mother!
