When Du Liang returned to the house, the housekeeper in the palace came to report that the chief Du of the palace came at night and sent a gift box, and when Du Liang looked at the gift box, it was exactly the same as the one given to Fan's house.

Du Liang understood in his heart that the old king of Chu must have known that the old minister had come to him, and he also knew what the so-called thing was, so he sent him Junshan tea, and the meaning couldn't be clearer.

On the surface, it is to let him stay at home and drink tea, but in fact it means to keep him out of the matter.

For a scholar like Du Liang, every step in the officialdom must be steady, among which you must learn to observe the wind, learn to take advantage of the situation, and of course, know how to advance and retreat.

There was a sudden news circulating in Junshan City, and it spread quite quickly, and in just one day, it had become a hot topic of conversation among the people in the city after dinner.

Jingfu's eldest lady Jinglan has recruited a husband, and the fiancé of this "talented soldier" is actually a little-known teenager named Zhao Yi.

As soon as this news spread, there were some people who were amazed, some who were envious, some who were angry, some who were sad, and in short, there was a lot of movement in Junshan City.

Not to mention how the people of Junshan City were, even the two parties were caught off guard by this news.

Zhao Yi learned about it on the spot.

And Jinglan was later relayed by her father.

Regardless of the wishes of the two parties, the development of this matter is not subject to the wishes of the two parties, and it is completely under the single-handed arrangement of Lao Chu Wang and Jing Hu, and a good thing has been achieved.

That night, Jinghu said that Zhao Yi beat Zhaohua, the son of the old prime minister, in the Zuifeng Building, and this matter would be a little troublesome.

When the lord of Deyang on the side heard that his cousin, whom he had just recognized, he actually punished the disgusting villain, and he applauded on the spot, but was interrupted by the old king of Chu waving his hand.

After the old king of Chu pondered for a moment, he said: "Even so, the face of the old minister still has to be given." ”

Zhao Yi saw that the old King Chu and Jing Hu were both frowning deeply, as if they were very embarrassed, and knew that his punch must have caused a fight between the officials of the palace, so he said loudly: "Uncle, General Jing, you don't have to worry about me, leave this matter to me to deal with." ”

The old king of Chu waved his hand, shook his head and said, "Yi'er, even if this matter is left to you to deal with by yourself, I'm afraid that the old minister will still find trouble with Jingfu." ”

Jing Hu glanced at Zhao Yi deeply, his tightly frowning brows stretched out, and then he got up and bowed to the old King of Chu and said, "Lord Wang, please forgive Jing Hu for being bold." ”

The old king of Chu was stunned for a moment, but he still had a smile on his face, and said: "General Jing has something to do, but it doesn't hurt to say it, there is no need to scruple." ”

Jing Hu stood with his hands down, and said loudly: "Jing Hu wants to ask the prince for a family matter, and please ask the prince to agree for the sake of the Jing family's loyalty to Chu." ”

"Oh, this is a great thing, General Jing said quickly, whose family affair is it?" said the old Chu king.

Jing Hu gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty wants to marry the little girl Jing Lanxu to Yi Shizi, and ask the prince to be the master." ”

There was a moment in the pavilion that became very quiet, and finally it was Lord Deyang Weng who broke the quiet atmosphere, she clapped her hands and said happily: "Great, Lan'er has become my brother-in-law, great." ”

The old king of Chu stared at Jinghu tightly with a pair of deep old eyes, and after hearing the words of Lord Deyang Weng, the expression on his face also became softened, and he nodded with a smile and said, "It's a good thing, this king agrees." ”

Jing Hu's face was overjoyed, and he said loudly: "Thank you for your success." ”

Zhao Yi, who was the party concerned, was like falling into a fog, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but when he saw that the old King Chu agreed, he hurriedly said: "Uncle......

Before Zhao Yi could say what he meant, he was interrupted by the old king of Chu waving his hand, and the old king of Chu understood Jinghu's intention to do this.

Since the unfortunate death of his only son in battle, he, the hereditary king of Chu, has no heir, and after Jinghu learned that Zhao Yi was his nephew, he must have also known in his heart that he wanted to take Yi'er as the heir of the king of Chu, Jinghu took this opportunity to marry Jinglan to Yi'er, one reason is to completely take over Yi'er's affairs, and the second reason is also the most important reason, that is, he Jinghu is expressing his heart to him, the king of Chu, and is willing to tie the entire Jingfu to the carriage of the Chu Wangfu.

Since Jing Hu had such a heart, the old King of Chu couldn't ask for it, so he would not let Zhao Yi have a chance to disagree or even object.

That night, for the sake of safety, Zhao Yi did not leave with Jinghu, but stayed in the palace.

In Jing Mansion, Jing Lan reversed her usual calm and polite posture, became raised eyebrows, and resolutely disagreed with her father's decision.

Although he couldn't bear to go against his beloved daughter's heart, for the sake of the future of the Jing family, Jing Hu resolutely hardened his heart, no matter how resolute Jing Lan's attitude was, he just didn't let go and forced Jing Lan to agree to this marriage.

In the end, Jinglan saw that her father's attitude was unusually resolute, and she had nothing to do, so she was so aggrieved that she fell to the ground and cried bitterly.

Jing Hu looked at his daughter's thin back, and the unbearable heart hidden in his heart was about to collapse in an instant, he turned around suddenly, no longer looked at his daughter who was crying sadly on the ground, and secretly wiped the tears that had overflowed his eyes with his hand.

After a while, Jinghu said in a voice full of love: "Lan'er, you have lost your mother since you were a child, and you have lost the love of your parents since you were a child, this is what your father owes you, this matter is indeed against your wishes, but my father also has to do it as a last resort, if our Jing family wants to gain a foothold in Chudi, we must do this, I hope you can understand your father's hard work." ”

After Jing Hu said these words with his back to his daughter, he moved out of the room, leaving Jing Lan lan, who was languishing on the ground in a daze.

The news that Zhao Yi wanted to be the son-in-law of Jingfu spread, but his identity as the nephew of the old King of Chu was only known to a few people.

When the old minister Zhaoyong heard the news that Jingfu was going to recruit Zhao Yi as his son-in-law, his brows were immediately twisted into a hemp rope, and his old face was darker than the bottom of the pot, and he walked around the study with his hands clenched.

Junshan Ling Zhaoming, who came to inform the old minister of the country, stayed quietly on the sidelines, and did not dare to say a mouthful, although he was a general who had led the army for many years, but in the face of his father's expression, he still felt a little scared.

After the old minister walked back and forth a few times, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Zhaoming, and sneered: "Ming'er, you take people to Jingfu to get people as usual, and when you go, you bring the sons of those families, as well as the boss of the Drunken Wind Building." ”

Zhaoming's face was embarrassed, and he arched his hand with some timidity: "Father, but Zhao Yi is already the son-in-law of Jingfu." ”

The old minister snorted coldly, and still sneered: "He Jinghu is determined to fight me to the end, then I'll let him see if it's his Jinghu's hard fists or my Zhaoyong's hard tone." ”

The reason why the old minister Zhaoyong dared to say this was not that his tone was really harder than Jinghu's fist, but that he recruited a capable person.

It is rumored that under the command of the old minister of Zhaofu, there are four lieutenants and four murderers.

The four lieutenants refer to the four local leading captains who are secretly loyal to the Zhao Mansion, while the four murderers refer to the four mysterious killers under the command of the old prime minister.
