Chapter 273



The attitude of Prime Minister Xiao's family was not really inhumane towards Hua Wujue's illness.

Not even allowed to rest.

As said before.

This is a marriage that has attracted nationwide attention.

The Zhennan Marquis Mansion has been home to many generations of distinguished military generals.

The Xiao family was one of the nine ministers of the 庘 Duke, and held the highest position among the ministers.

This marriage of literature and martial arts has aroused the nerves of too many people.

It has even attracted the attention of the Emperor sitting on the throne of Ming Emperor.

His Xiao family wanted to marry under the attention of all parties.

Prime Minister Xiao was able to reach the position of prime minister, so he was naturally not a stupid person. Feeling that his daughter was neglected, he directly attacked the Zhennan Marquis Mansion.

It seems that he is upset because his daughter is neglected.

The actual reasons are more complicated.

First, Hua Wujue suddenly coughed up blood and fell off his horse during the wedding procession.

There is no doubt that this is intentional sabotage.

Therefore, in order to express their determination for the marriage, Prime Minister Xiao's family sent people to express their greetings many times.

The level of care is no less than that of Hua Changming.

But after Hua Wujue woke up, it was confirmed that there was no serious problem for the time being.

But he did not go to the bridal chamber to lift the veil and care for his wife.

What does this mean?

My Xiao family can express our firm determination to form an alliance at this critical juncture, but your Zhennan Marquis Mansion cannot express its attitude.

With this kind of ambiguous attitude, does it mean that the marriage is really going to go ahead?

This is a political marriage.

Hua Changming might be concerned about Hua Wujue's health.

The Xiao family wouldn't do that. All they want to see is the attitude.

It depends on whether your Zhennan Marquis Mansion will still firmly choose to marry after facing the warning.

So Prime Minister Xiao was putting pressure on Hua Changming and he asked him to express his attitude immediately.

Expressing the attitude of being on the same front with the Xiao family.

He doesn't care about his daughter, he only cares about the results.

Although Hua Changming was a military commander, he was still very knowledgeable about the political issues.

Otherwise, it would not be possible for their Zhennan Marquis Mansion to continue to prosper for generations.

You should know that the entire Daye Dynasty had four major marquisate mansions: Zhennan, Zhenbei, Zhendong, and Zhenxi.

Now only his Zhennan Marquis Mansion is left.

It's obvious what's going on inside.

So, what made Hua Changming make such a dangerous marriage?

Military generals who interfere with military power have always been a thorn in the emperor's eyes.

No emperor wanted to see a minister monopolizing military power.

The emperor only wanted to be the supreme leader in charge of military power.

So he stayed in the Zhennan Marquis Mansion and just served as an idle general.

Therefore, in the power struggle for generations.

Only his Zhennan Marquis Mansion still exists.

The key to survival is to continue to maintain the concept of being an idle general.

But Hua Changming did not continue like this.

A military general is a military general. No matter how low-key his Zhennan Marquis Mansion is, he will eventually be killed by the emperor.

This is because after several generations of operation and development, a noble family will inevitably accumulate great reputation.

Zhennan Hou, this name is more useful than any other name at the border.

It is also because Marquis Zhennan truly treats his soldiers as human beings.

This is also the reason why the Xiao family took a fancy to Marquis Zhennan.

Military power, this is the key.

At this critical juncture, Hua Changming's actions were tantamount to telling others.

He, the Marquis of Zhennan, will continue to consider whether to join the Xiao family camp.

It's like a flag that keeps switching between black and white and can never fall completely.

The bedroom of Zhennan Marquis.

Hua Changming suddenly smiled, and said with a disdainful tone:

"What is his Xiao family? They are just the Duke and the Nine Ministers. They are just civil officials. Who holds the military power? Who is the real master?"

"Can a scholar be better than the sword in the sword?"

"The Xiao family wants to use our Zhennan Marquisate to hinder the emperor, or even to sideline him."

"The imperial power is not as strong as before, and the Xiao family is too powerful. We, the Zhennan Marquisate, must not act rashly at this critical juncture."

"Whether it's the royal family or the Xiao family, they both need our Zhennan Marquis Mansion."

The housekeeper was somewhat puzzled:

"But Lord Hou, haven't we already agreed to the marriage?"

“Isn’t this already a statement of attitude?”

Hua Changming said meaningfully:

"Today Dao'er got into trouble. Do you think it was the emperor's fault?"

"No matter how you look at it, it is indeed the most beneficial to the emperor after the marriage is destroyed."

The butler nodded. This was exactly what he meant.

This is something that everyone in the court understands.

If the marriage between Zhennan Marquis Mansion and Xiao Family is really successful.

Does the emperor still have a say in the court?

Obviously not.

The Xiao family was the leader among the civil officials, while the Zhennan Marquisate was the only powerful military family.

A combination of the two.

The emperor's power will be completely eliminated.

Hua Changming shook his head and sneered:

"But I think it wasn't the emperor who did it, but that old man from the Xiao family!"

The butler shuddered, disbelief in his eyes:

"How is this possible?"

"As long as our marriage is successful, both of us will benefit greatly."

"How could Prime Minister Xiao ruin his own future?"

Hua Changming's eyes were even colder:

"In my generation, the Zhennan Marquisate has only one child, Dao'er."

"If Dao'er gets into an accident, our Zhennan Marquis Mansion will no longer have a bloodline to inherit."

"My Zhennan Marquis Mansion will no longer have any regards and will just go crazy to take revenge."

"Because my Zhennan Marquis Mansion will be wiped out."

"This is probably what Xiao Jiaqiang wants to see."

"I'm afraid that old Prime Minister Xiao never thought of a real marriage from the beginning. He just wanted to use our Zhennan Marquis Mansion to launch a rebellion with his power."

"It is precisely because of this that the emperor will never do anything to Dao'er. Instead, he will treat her with more kindness and cultivate their relationship."

"I might as well tell you that before Dao'er got into trouble, the emperor personally congratulated me on this marriage and explicitly proposed that he wanted to marry the princess to Dao'er as well."

"The current emperor is a wise man. He did not force me to marry the princess. Instead, he asked me to take the princess as Daoer's concubine later."

The butler was stunned. He obviously didn't realize that there were so many shocking inside stories behind these things.

"This... the princess married as a concubine?"

The housekeeper couldn't believe it.

Hua Changming's face was solemn:

"The current emperor may seem weak and vulnerable, even to the point of being flattered, but he is an ambitious man. In his eyes, his daughter is just a tool."

"He just wanted to tell me that what Prime Minister Xiao could give to our Zhennan Marquis Mansion, he could give more."

"A person like this probably already has plans against the Xiao family."

The housekeeper swallowed his saliva, his Adam's apple rolling as he asked, "What does the Marquis think?"

Hua Changming raised the corner of his mouth slightly, opened the window completely, looked at the night outside the window, and said slowly:

"I want to make this big fire, for Daoer's."
