Chapter 362, finally set up the crown prince
As soon as Jiang Xiaolou's decision came out, he naturally won the approval of Jiang Hongxuan and Jiang Hongyi, and they also felt that this was indeed a good thing for the people, and after this matter was completed, the Jiang family's status in Lin'an City would naturally be stable in the future!
Moreover, with Jiang Xiaoying taking the lead in taking out her dowry and donating two-thirds to build houses for those beggars in the city, it is naturally impossible for the two Jiang Hongxuan brothers not to say anything, Jiang Xiaolou has been in charge of the financial power of the Jiang family's three rooms for many years, but he has never treated them badly, and the two of them also have tens of thousands of taels of silver in their hands.
Tens of thousands of taels of silver may not be a big deal for a wealthy family, but for ordinary people in the southern city, it is a huge amount. For a family of six among the common people, even if they sell everything, it can only be solved for 20 taels of silver, and 10,000 taels of silver can solve the life of 5 or 600 people for a year.
And 10,000 taels of silver is nothing to their families, Jiang Xiaoying's dowry, Jiang Xiaolou gave her a dowry worth 30,000 taels of silver, which is two-thirds of the donation, that is, 20,000 taels.
Of course, Jiang Xiaolou gave more dowries among the families, and the value of the dowry given by the general family to marry the daughter was between 10,000 taels and 30,000 taels, and the concubines were naturally more than the concubines······
Jiang Hongxuan and Jiang Hongyi each donated 10,000 taels of silver, Jiang Xiaoying's 20,000 taels, Ye Liangchen also took out two-thirds of his dowry and donated it to it, plus Jiang Xiaolou's 50,000 taels, a total of 100,000 taels, which is almost half of the amount.
Jiang Xiaolou thought of the sisters who had been married in the family, and their dowries were also quite rich, so they would invest in it, and when the Nancheng Commercial Street was completed, they would only earn more money by distributing the shops to them, so he asked the next person to go and inform the sisters who had been married in the family to come back and have important things to discuss.
Regarding the donation of silver, Jiang Xiaolou handed it over to Jiang Hongxuan to do, if the people in the house have a few hundred taels of silver in their hands, they can also donate it, and Jiang Xiaolou went to the palace to ask the emperor for a holy decree.
"The courtiers see Your Majesty, see the imperial concubine Niangniang!" After Jiang Xiaolou entered the palace, he was directly taken to the Qianqing Palace where the emperor was located, and in the Qianqing Palace at this time, in addition to the emperor, there was also the imperial concubine Ye Yunge.
Jiang Xiaolou knelt down and bowed to the emperor and the imperial concubine, the emperor has recovered a lot now, but his body is still very weak, and he can only sit up reluctantly.
The emperor had just gotten the eunuch father-in-law he sent to the Five Princes' Mansion to come back to report, and was about to let people go to the Jiang family to pass the decree, and spread the news that Jiang Xiaolou entered the palace to meet him, and the eunuchs outside the gate passed the word, saying that the lord of Hanshan asked to see him.
The emperor didn't understand what was going on, thinking that since Jiang Xiaolou himself came, he would also send someone to Jiang's house to announce that she had entered the palace to meet her, so he asked Jiang Xiaolou to come in!
"Your Majesty, the county lord has a heart with Your Majesty, Your Majesty is preparing to announce that the county lord will enter the palace, and the county lord himself will come·······" Imperial Concubine Ye Yunge smiled and spoke to the emperor.
Ye Yunge's words made Jiang Xiaolou very puzzled, why did she have a relationship with the emperor, does the emperor want to announce that he has entered the palace, what is the matter of announcing his own entry into the palace, it must not be for the affairs of Nancheng, it should be something else!
Jiang Xiaolou's head was thinking quickly in her mind, she was guessing, what His Majesty the Emperor was planning to announce her to the palace for.
"Hanshan, please get up, I was about to let Cheng An go to Jiang's house for a trip, but you came by yourself, which saved Cheng An from taking this trip·······" The emperor followed Ye Yunge's words and quipped.
The emperor looks in a good mood, talking to himself with a smile, laughing and letting himself get up, the emperor at this time is not like the emperor who is high, but like a kind old man next door!
"Courtiers thank the emperor!" Since the emperor wants to announce his entry into the palace, there must be something, so it is not good for him to talk directly to His Majesty the emperor about the affairs of Nancheng, this matter has to come first and come first, and there is a difference between respect and inferiority!
He is just a courtier, which should be why His Majesty the Emperor first said what he entered the palace for, and then he said what he entered the palace for.
"The county lord is now sixteen years old, I want to arrange a marriage for the county lord, I don't know what the county will do?" The emperor smiled and spoke, although it was a discussion tone, but Jiang Xiaolou had no way to refute it, and he didn't dare to refute it!
The emperor is the king of a country, holding the power of life and death, even if she asks for the holy decree of His Majesty's freedom of marriage, it will not help, and His Majesty the Emperor is discussing it with himself, and this discussion is impossible to refute and refuse.
Jiang Xiaolou was helpless in his heart, he finally asked for a holy decree of freedom in marriage, but after all, he couldn't escape, but in the current situation, it was impossible for him to go to kiss, which was the only thing worth gratifying.
"Courtier, but it is up to Your Majesty to decide!" Jiang Xiaolou lowered her head and gritted her teeth, but nothing was shown on her face, but she was awkward in her heart.
There's no way, this is not a society where everyone is equal, this is a society where imperial power is supreme, what can she say, can she still rebel······
"The county lord is also willing to marry the county lord, and His Majesty is just in the beauty of adults······" Ye Yunge saw Jiang Xiaolou's lowered head, grinning his teeth, and wanted to laugh in his heart.
At this time, Ye Yunge hurriedly stood up to help, while Jiang Xiaolou was very puzzled, what does it mean that she is willing, at this time, what is the use of her willingness, as soon as the emperor's golden mouth opens, isn't it a foregone conclusion, she is unwilling and has no choice!
"I heard that the county lord has a lot of dealings with the five princes today, and today I specially sent someone to the Five Princes' Mansion, and I happened to meet the county lord and the five princes chatting happily, I think that the county lord and the five princes are also a match made in heaven, I wonder if the county lord is willing to be my daughter-in-law?" The emperor looked at Jiang Xiaolou and slowly spoke.
And what the emperor said made Jiang Xiaolou feel the urge to die in an instant, how could she say that the five princes were weird today, it turned out that the emperor sent someone to eavesdrop outside the door at that time, did the emperor think that he and the five princes were arguing because of the two concubines in the five princes' mansion?
Jiang Xiaolou had a feeling that he couldn't wash himself by jumping into the Yellow River, now it's good, how can this be good, the emperor thinks so, can he still refute it, the fifth prince will definitely not help him clarify.
Jiang Xiaolou's face was red and his neck was thick, no wonder the fifth prince changed his previous appearance as a gentleman and became a little scoundrel on the side of the road, it turned out that he was calculating himself, she ·······
"The county lord is shy, and his face is red······" Ye Yunge's heart was very suspenseful, and she just saw Jiang Xiaolou's angry expression from her angle.
As the emperor's woman, although Ye Yunge has a noble status, once Long Yan is angry, even his father and mother will not recognize him, at this time, Ye Yunge only hopes that Jiang Xiaolou can understand current affairs and not anger the emperor!
What Ye Yunge didn't understand was why Jiang Xiaolou was unwilling to marry the Fifth Prince, marrying His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, he would be the queen of the mother of a country in the future, this is what many women dream of, and she is good, such a good thing, she is not happy!
Ye Yunge's words made the emperor think that Jiang Xiaolou was blushing because he was said to be in his heart, and at this time the emperor waited for Jiang Xiaolou to say yes.
"Everything is up to the emperor, and the courtiers thank the emperor for his favor!" Jiang Xiaolou was not carried away by the anger in his heart, knowing that he could only admit this marriage at this time.
Jiang Xiaolou quickly weighed the pros and cons, this is not a good thing to marry the five princes, marrying the five princes, this will be the future mother of the country from now on, when the time comes, he is not willing to face the five princes all day long, then give him a few more concubines, and live his life behind closed doors, the most important thing is that he has become the mother of the country, and he does not have to be afraid of many things, he can seek the well-being of the people to a greater extent, starting from the south of Lin'an City.
Sure enough, when the emperor asked Jiang Xiaolou if he had any other requirements, Jiang Xiaolou directly told the emperor about the people in Nancheng, and Jiang Xiaolou directly asked the emperor for Lin'an City Nancheng as a dowry, which made the emperor very puzzled.
Later, after Jiang Xiaolou said what she planned to do, the emperor agreed, the emperor is a Ming monarch, working hard to govern the country, and wants the people under his governance to live and work in peace and contentment, what Jiang Xiaolou plans to do is for the sake of the people, how can the emperor disagree, and even the emperor donated 50,000 taels of silver from his private treasury to the people of Nancheng.
With the 50,000 taels of silver donated by the emperor, Jiang Xiaolou can make the planning of Nancheng Commercial Street bigger, and Jiang Xiaolou is also very willing·······
His Majesty the Emperor is a man of action, this front foot and Jiang Xiaolou told her and the five princes about the matter, and the back foot wrote a holy decree to announce to the world, along with this marriage decree There is also a holy decree to make the five princes the crown prince and Jiang Xiaolou the crown princess.
The emperor also ordered the crown prince to supervise the country, and the marriage of Jiang Xiaolou and the five princes was also put on the agenda, which was set for three months later, Jiang Xiaolou didn't care much, and after receiving the holy decree, he began to plan the affairs of her Nancheng Commercial Street.
The emperor's holy decree can catch the four princes and the eighth prince off guard, the four princes and the eighth prince are very angry, but they have no choice but to comfort themselves, being the prince may not be able to be the emperor, and the prison may not be able to really sit in that position, and the two began to plan non-stop in private.
Jiang Xiaolou was annoyed that the five princes had calculated her, so she no longer cared about the five princes, and handed over the affairs of the fourth prince and the eighth prince to the five princes to deal with, while she concentrated on the affairs of Nancheng Commercial Street.
The fire at the city gate affected the pond fish, the open and secret battles between the four princes, the eight princes, and the five princes, which made many officials fall from power, but the people of the Jiang family were okay, because of the five princes, they were not affected much, and other families were not like that.
The husband of Nangong Mengxue, the adopted daughter of the fourth room of the Dingguo Mansion, the thirty-year-old general, was assassinated on the way home from the palace four days before getting married, and failed to save him, and Nangong Mengxue of the Dingguo Mansion became a widow before he passed the door·······
Jiang Xiaolou heard what people talked about, but what she paid attention to was that Nangong Mengxue became a widow before she passed the door, what does it have to do with her second brother, why did her second brother come to visit her without a smile?
In addition to the matter of Nangong Mengxue, Jiang Xiaohuai, the third daughter of the Jiang family, has doubled her worth because of Jiang Xiaolou, the quasi-princess, and her marriage from the Yongping Marquis Mansion is ten miles of red makeup, and Jiang Xiaozhen, who is in the fifth room, is also admired for marrying in the next half a month, and many ministers of the court and the central government have a relationship with Jiang Jiapan in various names.
One person got the Taoist chicken dog to ascend to heaven, and some people even had the idea of sending concubines to the men of the Jiang family, but there is no doubt that one by one was rejected, in addition, Jiang Hongyi became the dream lover of the girls in Lin'an City, and the wives of each family regarded Jiang Hongyi as Jin Bobo.
In addition to Jiang Hongyi, there is also Jiang Hongyu, the only son of Wufang, and those relatives who are close to the Jiang family, and the family is also full of people, the funniest thing is that Jiang Xiaosang, who is only nine years old in Liufang, has also become the wife of the wives fighting for their sons in the family, which makes Jiang Xiuquan and his wife in Liufang tired of coping.
In three months, the five princes have to deal with the government affairs of the DPRK and China, and they also have to deal with the endless calculations of the four princes and the eight princes, and the whole person is in a circle, but I have to say that the five princes are indeed very talented in governing the country, and the court will be governed in an orderly manner in three months, and the emperor is very satisfied with this, and he has planned to wait until the five princes and Jiang Xiaolou get married, and then abdicate to become the emperor, and hand over all the major affairs of the country to the five princes to take care of!
The Seventh Prince Chu Yunjing has married his cousin as the princess of his family, and in addition, Nangong Mengru of the Dingguo Mansion has also passed the door, and the Seven Princes and Nangong Mengru have entered the door before and after, since there is a rare harmony, this has disappointed many people who are ready to watch a good show.
The Eighth Prince and Nangong Mengyun also got married, when Nangong Mengyun got married, Shili Red Makeup was much better than Nangong Mengru, but His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince was very unhappy, the reason was that since Nangong Mengyun and his brother-in-law, Nangong Mengying's husband set for the sixth lady Nangong Mengying rolled together before marriage.
Before the eighth prince married her and entered the door, he was put on a big green hat, after Jiang Xiaolou heard about it, he also admired the eighth prince very much, in order to be able to get the support of the second master of Nangong, he didn't even want the dignity of a man!
In addition to Nangong Mengyun cuckolding the eighth prince before marriage, the most talkative thing is that the two young ladies in the second room of the Nangong family, the sister is married to the younger brother, and the younger sister is married to the elder brother, what should the two be called in the future, this brother-in-law is not a brother-in-law, and the sister-in-law is not a sister-in-law, this is really embarrassing!
I don't know what Nangong Second Master and his wife think in their hearts, will they be embarrassed when facing their two sons-in-law?
