Not to mention how happy the Duke's house was that the pain in his body after being cut off one hundred thousand taels of silver was healed.
I just say that there is no airtight wall in the world, and there are no secrets in the new capital...
The prince of Zhenguo's mansion was arrested, and the prince came to the palace to offer money to relieve the country's worries. The prince was released the next day, and even got a chance. According to the marriage decree, the prince is about to marry the daughter-in-law of the Jiangning Hou Mansion - the queen's cousin.
In other words, the prince Zhenguo will be the emperor's brother-in-law from now on? !
This world is so magical...
No, I should say that silver is so magical.
With one hundred thousand taels, can he be brought back to life and his wish come true? !
Some people are even a little tempted, thinking about donating ten thousand or twenty thousand to make a wish for their family, but people who think like this are extremely stupid.
The truly smart people were not happy at all at this moment, but instead frowned.
In the garden of a certain house, three or five friends were drinking tea together.
Someone looked around and saw that no one was eavesdropping, so he whispered: "The national treasury is empty, and the emperor can't bear it any longer. This is using the matter of subjugating the government to beat everyone, asking everyone to take the initiative to share the country's worries." "
Yes, I can see it too. However, our families have just moved from Kyoto and have just established their feet. Our vitality is severely damaged. We are really weak." The person next to him twisted the jade ring on his hand and frowned. His brows seemed to be in a dilemma.
It's a pity that no one believed this. After all, the jade ring he was playing with was the best among blood jade. It was a small piece that could not be bought for two or three thousand taels.
But no one spoke up to reveal it, because they didn't want to take money out of it.
Someone said: "Speaking of which, the emperor is also impatient. When the autumn harvest comes and the grain and tax revenue comes, everything will be solved."
"Yes," others also added: "There is also the Northern Expeditionary Army, which will be deployed every time it goes out. It's a waste to spend a lot of money and food. The barbarians can't reach the south of the Yangtze River, so why go to the north of the Yangtze River to fight with the barbarians
!
The Jinsha River is so dangerous that the barbarians can still grow wings and fly over?"
"In the final analysis, it is the Emperor Xinting who talks about regaining the mountains and rivers every day. After twenty years, the country's strength has been restored, and there is nothing wrong with slowly trying to expel the barbarians."
Everyone talked about this matter, but they all agreed.
As for donating money and sharing worries for the country, they have long been deliberately forgotten in their minds.
Let's see about it later. Maybe the emperor punished Duke Zhen Guo, but he just couldn't see it for the moment...
Let's not talk about the whispers, speculations and evasions of various families in Kyoto behind their backs. It's just that the Jiangning Marquis Mansion also received the imperial edict of marriage, which is different from Duke Zhen Guo. The whole Wu family was in a state of joy.
Marquis Jiangning and Mrs. Hou, who were over seventy years old, as well as the grey-haired eldest son and his wife, and the second son and his wife, were all sitting in the hall, all looking bad.
Especially the second lady, who had already pulled off her handkerchief and wiped her tears, and choked in a low voice: "Everyone in the family knows Lian'er's thoughts. I thought that with the queen's presence, she would definitely have her wishes come true. Who would have thought that she was suddenly Grant a marriage to that dandy prince!
"Isn't the Queen in the palace? Why is there no news at all? She didn't even stop the emperor? " After hearing this, she blamed the Queen and the Empress.
The Queen's mother, the Crown Prince's wife, was unhappy.
She originally wanted to persuade her sister-in-law to help her think of a solution, but then she changed her mind and responded calmly: "What my sister and I said is wrong. You also said that the queen is the queen, not the emperor! The emperor wants to grant a marriage, How can the Empress stop her and remonstrate with her to the death?
"Don't say that the Empress will not be able to survive in the palace in the future, even if the entire Hou Mansion has to follow her in! Do the siblings want to hook up with everyone just because of Bi Lian? "
"I'm not! The second lady became anxious, "You can't look at me like that!" She had previously asked the Empress to talk to the Emperor and finalize the marriage between Lian'er and Xintinghou, but there has been no news.
"It's okay now. Lian'er has been given a marriage to someone else. She just passed out and she doesn't know what to do when she wakes up!"
As she spoke, the second lady cried even harder, "I Poor daughter, I was pregnant with her when I was almost thirty years old. She is naturally beautiful, smart and dignified, so why is her life so miserable?!"
The old Marquis and Mrs. Hou had a headache from her crying, and Mrs. Hou stopped and said: "Don't cry. The matter has already happened. Let's think of a way to solve it."
The second lady wiped her tears and choked: "Mother, that is an imperial edict. I can only let the queen go to the emperor!
" "Queen The empress is Lian'er's sister, and she definitely doesn't want Lian'er to marry a dandy. If Lian'er can marry Xintinghou, Xintinghou has military power and is also a good helper for the queen..."
"Shut up! "This time it was the old Marquis who spoke angrily. He subconsciously looked outside the door, and when he saw that no outsiders were there, he glared at his brainless daughter-in-law with a dark face, "What nonsense are you talking about? If this word spreads, the whole family will die!" "
There are some things that you can plan, but you must never say them out loud.
The queen's mother clan wants to plan for military power. What are they planning to do?
Rebellion?
The second lady also knew that she had said the wrong thing and shrank her neck, "I am also too worried about Lian'er... ..."
The second master couldn't ignore his wife, and he felt sorry for his daughter, so he begged his father, "Father, don't worry so much, please ask your sister-in-law to go to the palace as soon as possible. "
The old marquis nodded, and did not say what his granddaughter's feelings were. He only said that their marquis's house could not marry the Zhenguo Duke's house under any circumstances.
The Zhenguo Duke had no real power at all. He only knew how to live a shrinking life, but his son was not useful yet.
He just said This time, the emperor caught the blame and cut off a big piece of meat. Now everyone treats the Duke of Zhen as a fat pig!
The Wu family is the Queen's mother clan, how can they be related to a pig?!
Old Marquis He sighed and said: "Enter the palace, let the queen beg the emperor, and it is best to withdraw the decree. Even if Lian'er can't marry the Marquis of Xinting, she definitely can't marry the Duke of Zhenguo! "
The Crown Prince's wife could not disobey her father-in-law's instructions, but she felt uncertain and could only say: "I will talk to the queen carefully, but I'm afraid there is no room for relaxation in this matter. After all, I have never heard that an imperial edict can be withdrawn..."
Of course everyone here knows this truth, but no one is willing to do it. We still have to try!
The Crown Prince's wife couldn't help it, so she stood up and resigned.
She wanted to send someone to pass the sign to the palace. She still had to change clothes and prepare things as an excuse to enter the palace...
Fortunately, the third princess was celebrating her birthday, so the family specially made a set of jewelry.
She planned to go out, but ended up kicking in and out of the door. When I was there, a woman ran over madly and shouted: "Oh no, something happened!" "
