Chapter 648 I also used this as an excuse to try to quibble (1st update)
"Guan, Guan, what do you mean by this?"
Wu Zhizhong's mind was buzzing as he looked at the Emperor of the Song Dynasty who was smiling so charmingly.
Official Zhao Ji's face was straight, and he was very emotional.
"I like this child Xiao Gao very much. Although he and I are master and apprentice, we have the same affection as father and son."
"My beloved daughter, Emperor Maode, also admires Xiao Gao very much. It's a pity..."
"I hope that Xiao Gao can become the Prime Minister of our Song Dynasty, but our Great Song Dynasty has its own regulations. It is impossible for a person to be a consort, not to mention the Prime Minister and Fu, even Zhizhizhou."
"However, Xiao Gao was here that day, and the agreement he made with Wu Aiqing was for my inspiration."
"inspiration?"
The corner of Wu Zhizhong's mouth curled up, and he vaguely felt that the official's mind was twisted because he was thinking of all kinds of crooked ideas all day long.
"Yes, if Emperor Maode is not my daughter, then there will naturally be no problem in marrying Xiao Gao.
"If this is the case, wouldn't it mean that the Song Dynasty will lose a great prime minister?"
"The officials are planning to marry Emperor Maode to Gao Guizhang."
Having said this, Wu Zhizhong's face was filled with pain and he didn't know how to continue.
What was going on with this horse riding? Wu Zhizhong really wanted to spit on Xingzi, and then shouted loudly: "Hunjun, can you be more serious?"
After laughing proudly, the official Zhao Ji tilted his head and saw Wu Zhizhong's appearance as a clay and wood carving, and laughed.
"Guardian, please wait a moment. What you mean is that you want to send Her Royal Highness the Emperor Ji..."
"My dear brother, please don't get excited. I will tell you carefully. Officials also know that if he marries a princess to Xiao Gao, he will lose a talented prime minister and assistant in the Song Dynasty, so..."
Seeing the officials staring at him with burning eyes, Wu Zhizhong could only act bravely.
"Well...that's true, but if Maode is not my daughter..."
"Between the ministers, the children of Qin and Jin have formed a good relationship, and they have made a white-headed agreement. Can the ministers still interfere with it?"
"Gah..." Chen Shilang pointed at Wu Zhizhong with a messy expression on his face. He couldn't hold back a fart for a long time.
"So what, you tell me..." Chen Shilang couldn't help but urge.
"After hearing what I said, the officials pondered for a long time and asked me if Emperor Maode was no longer a member of the royal family, would I be willing to accept her as my stepdaughter?"
"...Why does it have to be you, sir?" Chen Shilang asked with confusion on his face.
After hearing Wu Zhizhong's words, Chen Shilang burst into laughter and shook his head repeatedly.
Having said this, the official Zhao Ji couldn't help but burst out laughing proudly.
Wu Zhizhong's face darkened, as if he saw the official Zhao Ji smilingly picking up a smoky black pot and placing it directly on his forehead.
"Because Gao Guizhang, that kid, was joking and joking with me that day, saying that I will always be strong and strong. If I have another daughter, he is willing to form a good relationship with me."
"Wonderful...ahem...please think about it, Mr. Rong of the official family. Since ancient times, there has never been a precedent for an emperor to adopt his children to his ministers."
If she were not a noble girl like the princess, I would naturally be willing to adopt a virtuous and virtuous woman with excellent moral character and become a good match with Xiao Gao.
After hearing Chen Shilang's analysis and complaints that were obviously full of resentment, Wu Zhizhong wiped his face helplessly and nodded heavily, acknowledging that the other party's analysis was correct.
"The official is planning to marry off his daughter..."
"...The official is planning to marry off his daughter. This, this is not a big deal. Is it possible that there is something fishy here?"
Even his personal attendants called him for a long time but forgot to answer. Finally, Wu Zhizhong reluctantly gave the order to go back home.
"The official just said that I should just wait for the good news. In short, he must have a way to adopt Emperor Maode to me."
"Old Ai Qing Wu, isn't this a great idea?"
"Ah, this..."
"Shang Shu, Shangshu... what's wrong with you? Your face becomes so ugly just after you enter the palace. Is it difficult for the officials to make it difficult for the minister?"
"So in order to prevent Xiao Gao, the number one scholar, from losing the possibility of becoming the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, the official family decided to let Emperor Maode recognize me as her stepfather."
"Exactly, I intend to adopt Emperor Maode to Wu Lao Aiqing as your stepdaughter. In this way, she can marry Gao Zhang again."
"Yes, that's what I told the officials."
#####
Wu Zhizhong didn't even know how he left the palace. After getting into the carriage in a daze, he sat in the carriage blankly.
"What?! This, how is this possible? The official family has always insisted on paving the way for Gao Zhang and him to be the prime minister and assistant minister. Why do you want to marry him again in the blink of an eye?"
He also asked his personal entourage to ask his best friend Chen Shilang to come quickly, and then he threw himself into the carriage, lying like a salted fish, not even willing to turn over.
Wu Zhizhong let out a deep sigh as his balls hurt, and then he spoke again.
Wu Zhizhong hesitated and did not dare to speak further, but official Zhao Ji nodded.
"Okay, since Mr. Wu Aiqing has this concern, I have my own solution."
"How can this be?"
#####
After drinking a large cup of herbal tea to calm down his shock, and mumbling something incomprehensible, Chen Shilang finally regained his senses.
"If an official breaks the rules like this, he will definitely be criticized by the people of the world. In order to maintain the dignity of the heavenly family, I dare not obey the edict."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Shilang's face was full of horror and he shook his head repeatedly.
Chen Shilang stepped into the house and saw Wu Zhizhong sitting there limply, looking like he was lost in thought. He couldn't help but asked in surprise.
"Actually, I am not happy about it. After all, she is an imperial concubine. Since ancient times, how can there be any reason for emperors to adopt their children to their ministers?"
After hearing Shilang Chen's caring words, Wu Zhizhong raised his head and forced a smile.
If a small Gao is promoted to Prime Minister due to his merits, he will be speechless."
So you came up with this crazy idea and decided to adopt Emperor Maode to you, the boss?"
#####
"What's the result?"
Wu Zhizhong couldn't help but darken his face, recalling the famous scene when Xiao Gao, the champion, was a little brat who proudly provoked him.
"In other words, the official family wanted to marry their daughter to Xiao Gao, the champion, but they were worried that the court officials would not tolerate it and ruin Xiao Gao's career.
At this moment, my mind felt as if it had just been kicked by a passing donkey, and my thinking was at a standstill.
"I also used this as an excuse to try to quibble, ah no... I tried to persuade the officials to calm down and not consider such unrealistic means. But the result..."
"And it happened that the official was standing by and heard the joke between me and this boy."
"...There is such a thing."
Chen Shilang blinked and looked at Mr. Wu in front of him, who had very complicated emotions.
I don't know whether I should comfort the other person or respect the other person.
