"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is quick to speak, then I will no longer hide it, I want to marry the eldest princess, and because she is your sister-in-law."

After Ye Luqi finished speaking, he observed Jin Shuichen's reaction and found that he was still expressionless, so he continued: "To put it bluntly, this marriage is a guarantee for the two countries and a stable alliance between the two countries. If you want the long-term development of relations between the two countries, I naturally want to choose a daughter who is most favored by His Majesty the Emperor, and when you ascend the throne, I believe that I will not abandon my own sister. ”

"Brother Yelu is right, choosing Yue'er is indeed the most beneficial, but why should I believe that you will treat Yue'er well, and believe that your Beiyan people will treat her and her children well?"

Jin Shuichen's question is acute, and it is indeed the most difficult to be sandwiched between the two countries with the princess, but Yeluqi can't make any promises, after all, even he doesn't know what the situation in Beiyan will become in the future.

"I will do my best to protect the princess from anyone hurting her."

Jin Shuichen knew that this was a promise given by Yeluqi, but it was not enough, he couldn't marry his sister because of someone's words.

"I will also do my best to protect the princess of your country and not let people hurt her, but Brother Yelu is willing to marry Ling Mei?"

Yeluqi's eyes were cold when he heard this, but his expression changed in an instant, "It seems that I have to show more sincerity." ”

Yeluqi thought in his heart, don't worry, first finalize the affairs of Mengshan, and then think of other ways for himself. And Jin Shuichen thought, if it really reached the point where he had to marry Yue'er as a last resort, how could he let Yeluqi treat Yue'er well?

The two were silent for a while, each with their own concerns.

……

Since September, there has been information in the capital that preparations for the siege of Mengshan have been transmitted, and the emperor has sent the soldiers and horses of the five cities to be responsible for the security of the capital, so that Fang Zhengyun's 20,000 men from the capital command envoy will accompany him, and in addition, he has withdrawn 20,000 soldiers and horses from Jingtai. He was responsible for the safety of the trip together with the people who commanded the embassy in the capital.

Even the grain and grass of these 40,000 soldiers and horses are not a small amount, so Fang Zhengyun always goes out early and returns late during this time, and Fang Yage wants to tell his father in person that he wants to follow him but he doesn't find a chance.

Ever since he knew that Fang Yage was going to Mengshan. The one who reacted the most fiercely was Fang Yaol, who had to follow him if he said anything. It wasn't until Fang Yage told her that Jin Rou was pregnant and that she also needed someone to take care of her mother at home, that Fang Yaol quieted down, like a little adult. accompanied Jin Rou every day in Qifengyuan, which made Jin Rou cry and laugh.

In mid-September, a major news came, in order to highlight the style of the Yonghe Dynasty, the emperor decided to select talented people to accompany Luan. The entire capital, down to the common people, up to the king's grandson and noble son, all the outstanding children are within the scope of selection.

After several days of screening by countless courtiers, a list of more than a hundred people was drawn up. It is said that some of the people on this list are well-known talents, such as Fang Yuxuan of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, and Jing Yunxing of the Yuwang Mansion. However, there are also those who have never heard of them, but they are selected because of their outstanding talents. For a while, this list was hot, and even became a necessary reference for many people to choose a son-in-law.

After Fang Yage got the list, he looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but smile in his heart, for no other reason. In this list, the courtiers above the third rank and the sons and grandsons of the king's grandson and grandson are basically included in it.

That's right, this strategy was proposed to Jin Shuichen the last time he entered the palace, Fang Yage. The purpose is to control the sons-in-law of these ministers, and if they stay in the capital, they will always consider the consequences first.

This matter has not yet subsided, and the emperor personally issued an order to crown the eldest son of Yuwangfu, Sun Jingyunjue, as the young James of the five grades of the James Mansion, and accompany His Royal Highness the Prince. Fang Yage could imagine the faces of everyone in King Yu's Mansion when they received the holy decree.

Fang Yage understood that the reason why his cousin acted like this was largely because he was testing Jingtai's attitude. If Jingtai was afraid of imperial power, then how could he swallow this breath and not be openly displeased; If Jingtai really has ulterior motives, then it is likely to break out on the spot and leave with his sleeves brushed away. Of course, I don't know what Fang Yage's specific expression is in Jingtai, but it won't look too good when I think about it.

In addition, Fang Yage also believes that the prince's cousin let Jing Yunjue go with him, to a large extent, because Jing Yunjue's martial arts are indeed strong. Fang Yage thought that no matter how dissolute Jing Yunjue was, he would not openly disobey the holy decree, and sure enough, the next day, he heard the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had allowed Jing Yunjue not to go to the Jamesburg Mansion to report, and only listened to the orders of the prince alone.

Fang Yage didn't know what Jing Yunjue and his cousin talked about, but Jing Yunjue was definitely the first to make such a concession to his cousin, who had always paid attention to etiquette.

"County Lord, Zhuang Kai is here."

Banxia had already returned to Fang Yage's side on an errand, and at this moment, her husband came and came in to report, his face was still a little blushing.

"You let him in."

Banxia said yes, and walked into the main hall with Zhuang Kai, just as he wanted to avoid it, Fang Yage shouted: "Banxia, you stay, I have something to order." ”

Banxia was a little surprised, the county lord called Zhuang Kai these few times and didn't leave himself, why was he so abnormal today, and Zi Su and Bai Zhi were also in the house, if it was just to talk about the things between their husband and wife alone, they would definitely not leave Zi Su and Bai Zhi behind. Banxia couldn't figure it out, so she simply didn't think about it anymore,

Zhuang Kai saw Banxia's puzzled face, thinking that he had gone out early and returned late these days, rarely talking to his wife, and felt guilty and pity in his heart, and now that the county wanted to tell the matter, Zhuang Kai suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

"Zhuang Kai, how is the matter I told you?"

Zhuang Kai hurriedly stood up and said: "Lord Qiyu, everything that should be prepared has been prepared, our brothers have been working day and night, and the tunnel has been dug into a small village five miles away, and we have found an abandoned house in this small village as an exit. ”

"Okay, you go back and send someone to buy this house, clean it, put some daily necessities in it, people can not go on weekdays, but as soon as I leave the capital, you will put money, dry food, horses and carriages in the courtyard, and put some bows and arrows and other weapons."

"Yes, county lord, I'll go back and prepare."

Banxia listened to the clouds in the fog, this is an authentic and a weapon, what happened?

"County Lord, but what happened? Why dig tunnels? ”

Banxia didn't know where to go, Fang Yage looked at Banxia and said: "Banxia, I asked Zhuang Kai to clean up a courtyard thirty miles away from the city, and on the day I left the capital, I would let my mother go to the courtyard to recuperate." When the time comes, you and Shisu will be close to serve your mother, and you must remember to protect your mother no matter what happens. ”

Banxia was surprised when he heard this, how to go to the other courtyard in a good way, and he also had to dig a tunnel, is there something bad about this to happen, Banxia has a bad feeling. (To be continued.) )
