Dong Guojin lowered his head and there was sweat on his forehead, which suggested that the prince was not easy to talk to.
But he had come to this step and had no intention of looking back. He took a deep breath and continued: "If the prince is worried about the safety of the princess, he can send our people to protect the princess personally. I believe the people in the Japanese mission can also understand
The prince’s intentions should make him satisfied with this arrangement.”
"Stop talking, this matter is non-negotiable!" The prince waved his hand, showing an impatient expression.
"His Royal Highness, the Emperor has appointed this official to coordinate and manage the prince's wedding. Regarding the wedding, this official has the right to make his own arrangements."
Li Xiangyang glared: "What did you say? Do you mean you don't even have to listen to what I say?"
"His Royal Highness the Prince wants to make atonement. This is a serious matter. It is really detrimental to the reputation of the princess to live in the Prince's Mansion. I ask His Highness the Prince to pay attention to the overall situation. As the Minister of Rites, I am in charge of the ethics and education of Dahua. If I
If the official knows that the prince has committed an act that violates etiquette and law but does not stop it, it can be regarded as a dereliction of duty by the subordinate. Subordinate officials also have difficulties in being dismissed. If the prince is still unwilling to send the princess back to the mission, he must report to the emperor to save the official.
The position of official minister."
"..." Li Xiangyang opened his mouth, but did not say anything. He looked very angry at first, but he was stunned after hearing Dong Guojin's words.
For a moment, Li Xiangyang didn't understand what Dong Guojin meant. How could he threaten his official position because of this matter? No one with a brain could say such a thing.
However, Dong Guojin really said it, and he was very serious, not like he was joking.
Li Xiangyang didn't know much about Dong Guojin. He was not a figure in the court before. However, it just happened that the Metropolitan Procuratorate was causing trouble in the capital, which resulted in too many official vacancies in the capital. Some unknown officials took this opportunity.
Just a superior.
Dong Guojin is one of them.
Li Xiangyang began to feel that something was wrong. This Dong Guojin seemed to be interesting. Just because he could wait for him patiently for a whole day was not something ordinary people could do.
And why did the boy named Xia follow?
He proposed that the Japanese princess stay in the Prince's Mansion, and now he wants to send the Japanese princess back.
He actually didn't say anything. Could it be that he was reminding himself to agree to his request?
Li Xiangyang suddenly had many questions in his mind, but these were small things, nothing compared to the big things Li Xiangyang thought about on weekdays.
Moreover, it is impossible for Li Xiangyang to really go to court and abolish the Minister of Rites because of this matter.
Because it is illegal for the princess to live there now, a big incident will only affect the prince's reputation.
Li Xiangyang glanced at Xia Shang, who just smiled and didn't mean anything else.
Li Xiangyang gradually calmed down and took a breath: "Let's do this. I will ask someone to take you to see Her Highness the Princess. If Her Highness the Princess is willing to return to the Japanese mission, then do as you wish. But if anything happens to Her Highness the Princess during this period,
It's dangerous, this prince will kill you."
Dong Guojin quickly saluted: "Thank you very much, Prince."
Later, Li Xiangyang asked someone to send Dong Guojin to the backyard and let him communicate with the Japanese princess.
Li Xiangyang stayed and called Xia Shang aside, lowering his voice and asked: "What on earth is going on?"
"This has nothing to do with me. Everything is Dong Shangshu's own opinion. It seems that this Minister of Rites really values etiquette very much."
"Since it's not your intention, how can you let him do whatever he wants?"
"The princess is in the hands of the prince. It is naturally up to the prince to decide whether to keep the princess or not. But I am also a little curious. Listening to the prince's current tone, does the prince really have the intention to let the princess go?"
Li Xiangyang frowned: "It's against the rules for me to keep the princess. If those Japanese people come to make trouble, I can stop them forcefully. But this Minister of Rites has an attitude of not giving up, and he is an important member of my Dahua court. He holds the
It’s hard to deal with the banner of ethics.”
"The prince is not worried about the safety of the princess?" Xia Shang asked calmly, "This is the key to the problem, right? No matter who comes, or what reasons he has, as long as the prince is not willing, who can really follow the prince?
The government is taking people away? The prince is a little relaxed now, because he thinks that even if the princess is sent back to the mission, the princess will not be in danger."
"Xia Shang, it seems that you know me best..." Li Xiangyang smiled, but at the same time he became serious. He turned his head and looked outside the house, looking at the sky in the capital, "That night shocked the sky.
After writing these few words, all the masters inside and outside the capital were frightened, and no one dared to act recklessly in the capital. Even the Japanese people did not dare to act rashly until they knew the whole story."
After saying this, Xia Shang immediately thought of the words "Grandmasters are not allowed to enter the capital" and couldn't help but frown.
These simple six words were not only a shock to the Japanese people, but also a shock to the world. No one dared to act in the capital until the origin of this sound was clear.
Xia Shang was very much like asking Li Xiangyang. He didn't know what he thought of the world's number one, let alone how much he knew about these six words.
But this topic has always been taboo in Xia Shang's heart. He didn't want to mention anything about this matter, so after thinking about it, he still didn't ask.
Instead, Li Xiangyang took the initiative and said, "I believe you have noticed the changes in the people of the capital."
"Change?" Xia Shang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of the abnormal scene he saw on the streets of the capital today, "Is it more lively than before?"
"Why do you think this change occurred?"
"Is it because of that voice?"
Li Xiangyang nodded firmly: "When all uncontrollable forces calm down, tranquility and peace can reappear. People's nerves are very sensitive. When the capital becomes quiet, people will become active. And I,
I hope that one day the world can be enveloped in such peace forever."
Xia Shang looked at Li Xiangyang and felt something moved in his heart. He felt that he didn't mean to tell it to him, but he had such a longing deep in his heart...
After a simple conversation, Dong Guojin came back and informed the prince that the princess was willing to return to the Japanese mission.
Li Xiangyang said nothing more, but began to arrange manpower to prepare to go to the Japanese mission with the princess to take charge of the princess's safety.
Half an hour later, the team was ready.
Among the princess's team are several masters who were transferred from the Prince's Mansion.
Xia Shang recognized one of them, the skinny old man who had confronted Lingsi at the gate of the Prince's Mansion that day.
This is undoubtedly a very powerful master. Li Xiangyang sent out such people, which shows how much he values the princess.
