Chapter 607: Promotion
Princess Su rubbed her forehead and glanced at King Su coquettishly, "The prince knows that I am stupid, so don't hurry up and help me solve my doubts." You men have more twists and turns in their hearts than women, and I can't even think of them if I want to break my head. ”
King Su shook his head with a smile and explained to Princess Su: "Do you think Li Yu doesn't want to go back to Beijing? If he is willing to stay in Donglin for the rest of his life, why should his father be afraid of him? On the other side of Donglin, he has already gathered the strength he can gather, and with He Guanglie here, it is impossible for him to expand his power again." It's from the capital...... At the beginning, there were still many connections left by the old Jin King, how could he be willing to give up? Now, it is better to take this opportunity to return to the capital to stir up the storm. ”
"Isn't he afraid of death? The capital is not to the east. ”
King Su didn't care, "Wealth is in danger, in his position, it is a death, and if he earns it, it is a death?"
When King Su said this, he lowered his eyes and looked at the teacup in his hand, stunned and didn't know what he was thinking.
Princess Su also fell silent, and there was more than one Li Yu who coveted the throne? Who is not seeking wealth and danger. However, what is better than Li Yu is that as princes, they are more justifiable.
In the palace, at this time, Cheng Enhou and his wife had been ordered to come to the queen's Fengxu Palace.
After they finished saluting and giving them a seat, the queen glanced at Emperor Tiancheng, who was sitting on the side, and said that Li Yu asked to marry He Linwan.
Cheng Enhou was stunned, a little unfigured, didn't he say that he was going to marry to Dajiguo? Why is there another prince of Hengyang?
Mrs. Cheng Enhou Wei is much more sober than Cheng Enhou, how could she not understand what Princess Su can think clearly, and in shock, she couldn't help but glance at He Linwan who was standing under the queen.
"What do you mean by Your Majesty and Niangniang?" Wei asked cautiously, wanting to test whether there was room for refusal.
The queen glanced at Emperor Tiancheng again, and opened her mouth to say something, but Emperor Tiancheng said directly: "I think this marriage is good, what do you think?"
Cheng Enhou didn't hesitate at all, and immediately said respectfully: "Listen to Your Majesty, Your Majesty thinks it is appropriate, then it must be appropriate." ”
The expression on Wei's face was almost uncontrollable.
Emperor Tiancheng was very satisfied with Cheng Enhou's reaction, and nodded, "Since Cheng Enhou also thinks it is appropriate, then ......"
Wei couldn't help but speak, "Your Majesty......"
Emperor Tiancheng and Cheng Enhou both looked at Wei, Emperor Tiancheng's gaze was coercive, and Cheng Enhou was angry and anxious, for fear that Wei's refusal would anger the king and affect him.
Wei just opened his mouth completely subconsciously, not wanting his granddaughter to escape from one fire pit and enter the next. But after the impulse was over, she immediately sobered up again at the gaze of Emperor Cheng, opened her mouth and couldn't speak.
He Linwan, who had been lowering his eyes, raised his head, shook his head at the Wei family, and then saluted Emperor Tiancheng and the empress: "Grandmother is the same as the courtiers, I wish everything to obey the arrangements of Your Majesty and Niangniang." ”
Emperor Tiancheng smiled at this time, and looked at Wei again, "Mrs. Chengenhou?"
Wei lowered his head, "The courtiers were just a little reluctant to give up their granddaughter just now, and they lost their honor for a while, so I ask Your Majesty and Niangniang to forgive me." ”
The queen understood Wei's mood very well, and hurriedly smiled and played a round, "This is also human nature, what is the crime?"
Emperor Tiancheng was in a good mood at the moment, and nodded with satisfaction, "Since you all have no opinions, then this matter is decided." I will give a decree to the prince of Hengyang and He Linwan to marry. Queen, you give this girl more rewards as a dowry. In addition, although the prince of Hengyang was demoted, he is also the eldest grandson of the prince, since the two of you are married, the He family is also my relatives, and I should add some grace to the He family. ”
Cheng Enhou's eyes lit up, he didn't expect that he had just been promoted to the title of His Majesty and wanted to be gracious again, this time it wouldn't be to give him a real official position, right?
Cheng Enhou suddenly spoke incoherently excitedly, "Minister, thank you, thank you for your grace." ”
Emperor Tiancheng smiled and asked, "What kind of grace do you want in your house?"
Cheng Enhou was full of red faces, and was about to open his mouth to ask for an official position, but Wei Shi said: "Thank you for your grace, the granddaughter of the courtiers has been taught by the sons and daughters-in-law of the courtiers since she was a child, and the courtiers and the marquis really didn't bother too much, and the courtiers and the marquis have already received a favor last time, if your majesty wants to reward this time, it is better to reward the sons and daughters-in-law of the courtiers." ”
Cheng Enhou's originally excited face froze suddenly, and he hurriedly looked at Emperor Tiancheng, hoping that Emperor Tiancheng would not care about the words of a woman from the Wei family.
I didn't want Emperor Tiancheng to think about it, but he nodded with a smile, "Commander He is my favorite general, so he should naturally be rewarded! ”
Wei Shi and He Linwan hurriedly thanked him, and after getting up, they glanced at each other.
Wei was surprised at the moment. The commander of Shi Nai is a second-grade official position, and he is a feudal official like the political envoy and the inspection envoy, and he Guanglie's age and meritorious service are still a little lacking in confidence to sit in this position. She didn't expect Emperor Tiancheng to give He Guanglie a promotion, and he was directly promoted from the third rank to the second grade, you must know that the higher the official position, the more difficult it is to go up, and some people may not have such luck as He Guanglie after decades of operation.
He Linwan knew that Emperor Tiancheng asked He Guanglie to be the commander of the capital in order to suppress Li Yu's forces. The last commander of the Eastern Capital was Li Yu's maternal grandfather, General Luo.
After the death of the old general, Emperor Tiancheng was unwilling to produce another general like General Luo, and he did not want to concentrate his troops in the hands of outsiders to threaten his throne, so he commanded the capital to make this position vacant. Who knew that now in order to fight against Li Yu, He Guanglie was brought up again.
Cheng Enhou heard that his son had been promoted but did not see a happy face, but he was unwilling to think that if he was given an official position, what a beautiful scenery it would be! Thinking like this, he especially hated the Wei family who was mixing his good deeds, and couldn't help but glare at her fiercely.
Wei Shi noticed Cheng Enhou's gaze, and said worriedly: "Master Hou, why are your eyes cramping?
Cheng Enhou: "......"
Emperor Tiancheng asked casually, "Cheng Enhou suffers from eye disease?"
Wei said respectfully: "Master Hou always has red eyes from time to time, and the doctor said that he is old, so it is not appropriate to overwork, just rest and rest." ”
Emperor Tiancheng's affairs were all settled, and he was going to leave, but he didn't bother to pay attention to Cheng Enhou, so he nodded, "Then go back and rest early." ”
Cheng Enhou was so angry in his heart that he wanted to die, but he didn't dare to say anything to Emperor Tiancheng, so he could only thank him aggrievedly.
Emperor Tiancheng left, and the three ancestors and grandsons of the He family also retired from the palace.
On the other side of the palace, Ning Yi also learned that He Linwan was going to be married to Li Yu by the emperor.
