Chapter 120

The prime minister's daughter was going to compete in martial arts to recruit relatives. When the news came out, not only the people were in an uproar, but even the palace was full of uproar.

"Langqu, your father really wants to compete in martial arts to recruit relatives and choose a son-in-law for your sister?" The emperor asked Feng Langqu in surprise.

"Going back to the emperor is exactly my father's idea."

The emperor laughed and said, "Will this move be... a bit hasty." The emperor originally wanted to say that this move was a bit absurd, but he felt that the word 'absurd' was too contemptuous, so he used the word 'sloppy', "If you win the contest in the end If the person in question is an old man with profound inner strength, or an unattractive gangster, the daughter of the prime minister should fulfill her promise and be wronged to marry that person?"

"My father had no choice but to do this. Linling has reached the age of marriage, but she has not been able to marry for a long time, only because of Linling's horoscope..." Feng Langqu said with some embarrassment, "Back then, there was Taoist priests have criticized Linling's horoscope, saying that one must find a person with the most positive horoscope in order to be able to suppress Linling's horoscope. If the marriage is too hasty, I am afraid that she will become a widow at a young age. I found that person a few days ago The Taoist figured it out, and the Taoist said that when the time came, that person should appear. It seemed absurd for my father to do this, but he also listened to the Taoist's words."

The emperor said, "Who knows what the Taoist priest is doing? If he is a quack warlock, how can he take his words seriously. If we talk about divination by writing characters in our country, I am afraid that no one is above the national teacher." After finishing speaking, he called the eunuch to send a message , invited the national teacher over.

After the national teacher arrived, he and Feng Langqu looked at each other calmly, "My minister pays homage to the emperor."

"The national teacher is exempt from courtesy." The emperor handed the paper with Feng Linling's birth date written on it to the national teacher, and said, "The national teacher has a look, how is this person's horoscope?"

The national teacher pretended to look at the date of birth on the paper, nodded and shook his head and said, "This person is destined to enjoy the glory and wealth, but if it is a woman... I'm afraid it will be Kefukezi."

"Is there a way to break it?"

The national teacher stroked his beard and said, "This person will not be able to get married until after Double Ten, and the other party must be a person of the most yang."

After the national teacher left, the emperor said, "Since this is the case, why doesn't the prime minister post a notice to recruit someone who has the horoscope of Zhiyang?"

"To be honest, my father holds a high position and is a veteran minister trusted by the emperor. Based on this alone, there are many people in the country who want to curry favor with my father through marriage. If someone with ulterior motives is found as a son-in-law, then Didn't he lure wolves into the house. But what my father is more afraid of is that someone will take advantage of this to endanger the country. The Taoist said back then that when the fate comes, my sister's wishful husband will naturally appear."

The emperor nodded, "Your lord really has good intentions, and it is difficult for Lin Ling for the sake of the country." After speaking, he said to the eunuch behind him, "Prime Minister Feng still wants to share my worries at an old age. I am very moved. The thousand-year-old ginseng that came as a tribute was sent to Prime Minister Feng’s mansion." He said to Feng Langqu, "This ginseng is said to have the effect of bringing the dead back to life. But the medicinal properties are too strong, and people who are not sick may not be blessed. But I heard from the imperial doctor. Qian ginseng should be soaked in tiger bone and mixed with wine, and you can prolong your life by drinking one or two taels a day." After finishing speaking, the emperor looked at Feng Langqu, and said with a smile, "Langqu, you have been married for a long time, but why haven't you married yet? A son and a half daughter. Tomorrow I will ask the imperial physician to prescribe you a prescription for ginseng wine, and next year the Prime Minister will definitely have a grandson."

Feng Langqu thought about it in his heart, and sighed, "To tell you the truth, since my wife and I got married, there will be no more..."

"Could it be... Langqu, do you have any secrets?" The emperor asked with a suppressed smile.

"Your Majesty, please don't make fun of Langqu. My wife... Hey, Your Majesty, you also know that the marriages of the children of ministers of the fifth rank and above in the court can be decided by themselves, and it's not all because the father has already selected the candidate. So many people have had to marry or marry someone they don't love."

"So, Lang Qu doesn't love your wife anymore."

"It's because I have pretended to be another woman in my heart. It's a pity that when I met her, she was already married."

The emperor said, "If that's the case, you should stop thinking about other people's wives. This is not what a gentleman does. I also thought that if this person is a girl who has not left the court, I can suggest a marriage for you, and help you You have passed Prime Minister Feng's test."

Feng Langqu was overjoyed, "Your Majesty, Liu Mu has already written a letter of divorce, and the two of them are no longer husband and wife."

"Liu Mu? I seem to have heard of this person somewhere." The emperor frowned and thought.

Feng Langqu said, "The emperor remembers the case of Jinling going abroad to restore the former dynasty three years ago. The descendants of the important officials of the former dynasty have hidden the jade seals and imperial edicts of the former dynasty. Liu Mu is the eldest son of the traitor Liu Sheng. Later, the emperor pardoned the world, but This man did not change his nature, he killed his former father-in-law, attempted to rape and rape the servant girls in Master Yu’s house, and killed more than a dozen people in the house. Later, he escaped from prison and was never heard from again.”

"Unexpectedly, there are such evil people in the world!" The emperor said, "I am so confused. If there was no amnesty for the world at that time, then the dozen or so members of the Yu family would not have suffered such a disaster. The woman Lang Qu likes is definitely not What an ordinary woman, but how could such a woman marry such a villain."

Feng Langqu said, "This man is ignorant, idle, gamblers, hangs around brothels, and bullies men and women by virtue of his father being the richest man in Jinling. No one in the entire Jinling city is ignorant of this man's evil deeds." However, Mr. Yu lost money one after another in business and owed several 10 taels of silver. Seeing that the Yu and Liu families are family friends for a hundred years, he thought that the Liu family could rescue him, but Liu Sheng actually proposed to ask Mr. Yu to marry his daughter to Liu Mu. Be a wife, otherwise you will die. In order to keep the ancestral house left by your ancestors, Master Yu had no choice but to agree to this marriage."

"It's really absurd!" the emperor couldn't help but shake off his wide cuffs, "This businessman is indeed the most cunning thing." He also said, "But that woman is now the abandoned wife of a villain, you two... "

"Your majesty, I don't mind what Wanran's status is. It's just my father..." Feng Langqu knelt on the ground, "If the emperor can marry me and me, I will kill my minister, and I will have no complaints!"

The emperor smiled and said, "If I really want your life, how can you take care of Miss Yu! There is still a lot of use for such a person who values ​​love and righteousness. Don't worry, I will definitely do what you want." willing."

After Feng Langqu heard this, half of his wish was finally fulfilled, he couldn't help kneeling on the ground and kowtowed again and again, but his heart was pounding again, if Yu Wanran knew that he begged the emperor to grant him a marriage, he probably wouldn't forgive himself.

On the day of the martial arts competition to recruit relatives, the gate of the prime minister's mansion was already surrounded.The people around whispered, "I only heard that there are rich men in the countryside who are too ugly to marry their daughters through martial arts contests or throw hydrangea balls to recruit relatives, but I have never seen the prime minister give their daughters martial arts contests to recruit relatives."

"Maybe the prime minister's daughter is too ugly. No decent son dares to marry her, so find a chance to marry her."

"Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Feng Linling, the most talented woman in the capital, haven't you heard of it! It's just that she hasn't married for some reason. Maybe this kind of lady from an official family has too high a vision, and most people look down on her."

"But even if this is the case, there is no need for a martial arts competition to recruit relatives. Who knows what kind of crooked people are fighting, and if the one who wins in the end is blind or lame, then the prime minister is not confused in this comparison." .”

The other shook his head, "No, no! I think there must be something wrong with this matter! The son-in-law was recruited in such a hurry, I think it's likely that the prime minister's daughter is happy! This is to find an unlucky father for that child!"

"Hey, you said that, why did I remember the incident with Prime Minister Zeng's family a few years ago!"

"You mean about the wedding of the daughter of the Zeng family?"

"Yes, the dignified daughter of the Prime Minister married a death row prisoner who had just been released from the dungeon. On the day of the marriage, the man regretted the marriage and escaped. If you say that Miss Zeng is really pitiful, she is still a big girl with yellow flowers. Became an abandoned wife of a death row prisoner."

Zeng Qing, who was in the crowd, listened behind these people for a while. At first, when he heard these people speculate about the Feng family, he gloated, but who would have thought that these people said something happened to him? .With a loud cry of anger, he drew out his sword and stabbed and slashed at those people, cutting their clothes to tatters, but did not hurt the flesh of those people.He scolded, "You Ishii hooligans are not allowed to talk about the family affairs of the important officials of the imperial court! I am not afraid of offending any adult if it is spread, so be careful when the time comes and you will be punished!"

These people still thought that Zeng Qing, who was wearing men's clothes in front of them, was an attendant of some big family, his face changed in fright, Zeng Qing scolded, "My son let you go today, so get out!"

"Thank you, young master! Thank you, young master!" Several people bowed again and again, and ran out of the crowd.

Zeng Qing squeezed his fist hard, "Dead wood, rotten wood! This girl wants you to look good sooner or later!"

At the beginning of the martial arts competition to recruit relatives, Liu Muqi was just watching from the audience. He saw a white-haired old man who came out halfway and beat the challengers one after another. The six-pocket elders of the gang! They are quite old, and they are not ashamed. They even came to fight in the ring, dreaming of marrying a girl who can be their granddaughter."

The old man said with a smile, "There is no age limit for recruiting relatives in martial arts contests, tall, short, fat and thin. Since I won the fight, the prime minister must not regret it! I am quite old, and since I can call the prime minister 'Dad', How could he have the nerve to be a villain who went back on his word."

There was a lot of cursing in the audience, Liu Mu couldn't bear this man's nonsense anymore, so he flew to the stage. "Senior is quite old, this is really not the place for seniors to come!"

"Everyone has a love of beauty, so are you young and strong guys only allowed to marry wives and have children, and not allow me, an old man, to kiss her?"

Liu Mu snorted coldly, "If the senior is so disrespectful and speaks nonsense, then don't blame the junior for being rude."

The old man smiled, "Okay! Come here if you are not afraid of death!"

The people in the audience said, "I'm afraid this young man is going to suffer. This old man is an elder of the Six Bags of the Beggars' Sect, and his skills are not shallow."

Maybe Liu Mu didn't bother to deal with this person too much, or the old man's words annoyed Liu Mu, and Liu Mu attacked his vital points without any intention of forbearance.Without a few strokes, the old man was beaten back again and again, and he said out of breath, "Boy, I'm good at kung fu. I don't know what school or sect I'm from."

"You can learn without a teacher!" Liu Mu sneered, "Thinking of your age, I don't want to embarrass you, if you don't want to die, get out of the ring right now."

The old man smiled, "Good boy, I am willing to admit defeat." After speaking, he jumped off the stage.

Liu Mu then dealt with a few people who came to compete, and said, "Is there anyone else who wants to come forward and compete with me?"

Even if the people below want to be the prime minister's son-in-law, I'm afraid they won't have the guts to fight the people in the ring again.The housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion was about to step forward to announce something when he saw a man wearing a mask flying into the arena lightly.

"This brother is very skilled, please forgive me for being rude!" The masked man unceremoniously took the initiative to attack Liu Mu.

Liu Mu's side, dodging the opponent's fist, the man chased after him, attacking his vital points, this is not a martial arts competition, it is like wanting Liu Mu's life.

Feng Liang whispered to the butler beside him, "Didn't I tell you not to allow those masters to hurt Yin Tianchou's life?"

The steward said, "Master, those masters we invited, let alone hurt Yin Tianchou's life, judging from the posture just now, they couldn't get close to him at all. This person is not the master we invited, I'm afraid it really is What kind of expert in the world."

"It seems that this person came from a bad place." Liu Mu thought to himself.Among the few people who just competed, some experts Liu Mu guessed that Feng Liang should have invited them to test their skills, but Liu Mu couldn't tell whether Feng Liang had arranged for this person.Looking at Feng Liang's expression again, he vaguely felt that this person really came for him. "Why is this brother recruiting people to kill him?" Liu Mu said.

The man said, "Of course there can only be one son-in-law of the prime minister for a martial arts competition. If you don't admit defeat, then don't blame me for being rude. If you don't want to die, get out of the arena right now."

Liu Mu smiled and said, "Miss Feng, I am married. If brother insists on this, then don't blame me for being rude."

The masked man also sneered when he heard this, before Liu Mu made a move, the man attacked, and when Liu Mu fought back, he was not polite at all. "It's just a competition on stage, brother, why is he wearing a mask!" After Liu Mu finished speaking, he went to grab the mask.

The opponent blocked Liu Mu's attacking hand and turned around to fight back. Liu Mu became impatient and pretended to take away the opponent's mask with one hand, followed by another hand to attack the vital point. The man backed a few steps, turned around and threw out the hidden weapon, Liu Mu Fly away.Seeing this, the other party hurriedly fled away.

No one in the audience dared to come forward to compete, Liu Mu smiled, picked up the gavel on the table, and slammed the gong on the ring.

Five days later, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion got married!
