Chapter 421 Buying and Selling Marriages
Prince Xiang's Mansion has been run like an iron bucket.
The Xiling Mountains secretly gave Murong Shu a lot of support, focusing on finance. Naturally, it is easy to do things when you have money, and Murong Shu quickly bought an elite royal army composed of middle and low-level martial artists.
Pei Junshao contributed a lot. There was even a strong man who was invited to be enshrined, and he was willing to come to the palace to sit in the palace after seeing the face of the Pei family. On that day, he fought with Kezaqi Wuzun, and this powerhouse of the Nine Grades also participated. So what the situation was at that time, Xiangwangfu was more clear.
Pei Junshao's construction is that Murong Shu should do his best to win over Jian Wuzun in the palace. If nothing else, at least your own safety can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
Speaking of which, Murong Shu has paid a lot and sacrificed a lot in order to build a force that is enough to protect himself in a short period of time. There is only one powerful and trustworthy means for him - marriage!
According to the system, as a prince, he can marry one princess, two side concubines, and four concubines, all of which are serious royal daughters-in-law who can enter the royal jade. There are too many people who don't enter the jade, and the concubines have a room or something, and they can take as much as they want.
Murong Shu was currently hesitating, he had a good impression of Pei Junshao's cousin, the county lord of Nancheng. She is a hearty, generous and gentle girl, kind-hearted, but not lacking in scheming. No matter how you look at it, the county lord of Nancheng is a good candidate to be the mother of the house.
In addition, the Qinghe Eldest Princess Mansion and the Pei family behind Pei Junshao have been tied to him. Not only Pei Junshao, but Murong Shu had already met with Pei Junshao's father, and the other party clearly showed his support. Therefore, marrying the lord of Nancheng as a concubine is very necessary for personal feelings and future causes.
However, Her Royal Highness the princess of Taicheng in the palace. It's really hard to get rid of. After all, so many people saw that Princess Taicheng appeared on his couch in the barracks. Although the two are still innocent at the moment, others will not see it that way.
Even Pei Junshao said that he should marry the princess of Taicheng as a concubine. In doing so, he can not only continue to increase his weight in the heart of the Empress Dowager Jade, but also show favor to the Anguo Mansion. Anyway. Yan Yushu, after all, her surname is Yan. Everyone knows that she is the daughter of An Guogong.
Pei Junshao's suggestion was completely considered by Murong Shu, and An Guogong could hold an army of 100,000 in his hands. Moreover, Murong Shu heard a little meaning. It seems that the eldest princess of Qinghe has no intention of marrying the county lord of Nancheng to him.
Not only did he sigh, but they were also royal women, but the eldest princess of Qinghe and the former eldest princess of Kunshan were like people from two worlds. The former, compassion and benevolence. It never occurred to me that the marriage of the children of the family would be used to consolidate the position of power; Is the latter...... I can only hehe.
There is another candidate for the main concubine, and that is the young granddaughter of Yu Shoufu. But Murong Shu's mother, Concubine Ji De, had cautiously tested the tone of the Jade Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager Jade said that Princess Taicheng is her granddaughter, and as long as Princess Taicheng is cleared of suspicion of assassinating the emperor, she will definitely find a good mother-in-law for Princess Taicheng. As for the girl from the Yu family. Well, it's already set out.
Therefore, Murong Shu's concubine candidate can almost be determined. It can only be Yan Yushu, the princess of Taicheng. It's just that when you can get married, it depends on whether the emperor can come to his senses. The Empress Dowager Jade said with relief. He can marry the side concubine and concubine first, and it is only right that he will have an heir as soon as possible.
The two side concubines have been determined, one is the granddaughter of the fourth assistant of the cabinet. In this way, Murong Shu will have the support of some civil officials, which is very important to him. The other position of side concubine, he must be reserved for a certain princess from the mountains of Xiling, which has also been agreed a long time ago.
The other four concubines almost all have candidates. Some have already been negotiated, while others only have intentions and have not yet been formally contacted. As for concubines and the like, in principle, as long as it is helpful to his great cause, he can come without refusing.
Murong Shu himself had a list of candidates, and after discussing with Pei Junshao, the final result was determined. Sometimes he himself can't help but smile bitterly, what kind of marriage is this, it's completely a deal. If you have a large number of chips, you can buy a good position and a good future; Those with small chips and few chips can only be subservient.
Those girls who are still waiting to be in the boudoir, they are just one symbol after another, representing the strength of the family behind them and the support they can give to Murong Shu. As for their appearance, character, and talents, no one cares. Of course, it is impossible for him to marry an ugly woman.
It's sad. If he really has a day to ascend to the great treasure in the future, his harem is afraid that it will be filled with endless swords and swords, even more terrible than the struggle of the previous dynasty!
Therefore, the Pei family's refusal is justified and wise. The relationship between the two parties is already inseparable, and there is no need to strengthen it with marriage.
In addition, Murong Shu once thought about whether to marry a girl from a Zongzheng family as a concubine. But Pei Junshao strongly opposed this, and the reason was far-fetched and reasonable-the current girls of the Zongzheng family were all sisters of Concubine Hui, and the issue of seniority was likely to become a talking point at that time.
And the Zongzheng girl on the side branches, to be honest, the position of a concubine is too wasteful. But if you treat her as a concubine, I'm afraid that the Zongzheng family will not agree.
In fact, Murong Shu himself knows very well that the daughter of the Zongzheng family is now born to An An, and there is no demon son. But if he had hit her sisters with his mind, she would not let her go.
That person must avoid it, and even if he can't win it over for his own use, try not to offend. This is Pei Junshao's warning, and he also knows it.
Of course, it is true that he was seriously injured by the assassination, but the assassin was found by Murong Shu himself. Afterwards, the Assassin was mercilessly killed. For this matter, he must thank Pei Junshao for his foresight.
Old Mr. Gu lived in Prince Xiang's Mansion and stayed until the day when Murong Shu could recover. This old gentleman is an easy-going and talkative person, and while conditioning Murong Shu's body, he will also tell him some old court things.
Pei Junshao had another cough because the weather was too cold. In the palace, Murong Shu arranged a courtyard for him, so that he could live in the mansion, so that he would not have to go back and forth, and he also happened to let Mr. Gu see a doctor.
On this day, I don't know where to start, they mentioned Pei Junshao's heart disease. Then, Mr. Gu seemed to say unintentionally, there is a strange poison in the world, which can be incubated for several years after taking it, and it is still beneficial to people who practice martial arts, but once it occurs, there is no cure, and the symptoms of the attack are very similar to the symptoms of heart disease, and it can be completely hidden!
The name of this poison is called "Red Tibet"!
The reason why the daughter of Zhu Zhifu, who was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, was poisoned by the eldest princess of Kunshan was because he called out this strange poison. (To be continued.) )
