Hearing Shui Jingchen's words, Qing Jin was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and continued to ask, "Then when will you return to Beijing?" ”
"Unknown." Shui Jingchen replied indifferently to Qing Jin.
"Oh, that's it, then I won't say goodbye to you at that time, take care ......" Qing Jin said with a smile to Shui Jingchen.
Seeing Qing Jin's smiling face, Shui Jingchen was a little silent, maybe he would never see her again for the rest of his life, thinking like this, he raised his head and said to Qing Jin finally: "You also cherish it!" ”
Qing Jin heard the meaning of Shui Jingchen's words, and nodded indifferently at Shui Jingchen.
The Imperial Palace, on the Golden Luang Palace
Because of the upcoming wedding of the sixth prince Ning, the government and the opposition should have been jubilant, but this is not the case in today's court, the atmosphere in the court is tense, Emperor Ming's face is ugly, and he looks at the ministers under the jade stairs with horizontal eyebrows, which can be seen to be on the verge of anger.
However, those ministers who were usually afraid of Emperor Ming's power, looking at the emperor who was already angry, but one by one, like loyal ministers and good generals who were outside the life and death level, stood up one after another to protest to Emperor Ming silently.
Emperor Ming watched more and more courtiers stand up, his face became more and more ugly, and he said in a thin angry voice: "Why, do you all think that I am unfair and want to rebel?" ”
The minister kneeling at the front heard Emperor Ming's angry voice, raised his head, and said to Emperor Ming: "The ministers don't dare, the emperor, the ministers know that Gu Huaiyi should take the first credit for saving the driver." However, Gu Huaiyi belongs to the younger brother of Gu Huaili, the Marquis of Anji, and the Marquis of Anji, who inherited the title, is Gu Huaili, and the emperor is grateful for Gu Huaiyi's rescue work, and the marriage of the six princes for his daughter is His Majesty's benevolence, but His Majesty should not marry Queen Ning for Gu Huaiyi's daughter, and then marry King Jing as a side concubine for the daughter of Gu Huaili, the ancestral family law, the young and the young are orderly, the elders are respected, and Gu Huaili of the Anji Marquis Mansion inherits the title. It should be honorable, please think twice! ”
"Please think twice, Your Majesty—" After the minister at the head finished speaking, the courtiers behind him knelt down in unison, and the shouts shook the sky.
In fact, it is no wonder that they are unwilling to stand up and offend the angry Emperor Ming. However, among the ministers of the court, almost all of them are the elders of the family. Emperor Ming's marriage to Gu Huaili and Gu Huaiyi's daughter obviously violated their interests. Before, they didn't stand up for the first time, they were waiting for Emperor Ming's statement, but seeing that King Ning's wedding was coming, Emperor Ming didn't seem to have any intention of mentioning this matter at all, so they had no choice but to stand up and fight for Anjihou's banner. In fact, they are asking Emperor Ming to give them an explanation to protect their own interests.
"Presumptuous, are you persecuting me?" Emperor Ming was furious.
"The ministers don't dare—" The ministers bowed.
"Don't dare? I don't think you dare to do anything, and you all pretend to be confused for me...... Good. Very good...... Gu Huaili, you come to tell me, are you dissatisfied with my marriage? ”
When Gu Huaili heard Emperor Ming's voice, he raised his head tremblingly, and stammered at Emperor Ming: "Your Majesty, minister...... Minister......"
Looking at Gu Huaili's stammering appearance, Emperor Ming waved his sleeves, "Okay, I'm here to ask you, has your concubine ever been married before?" ”
"Your Majesty, even if the daughter of Anjihou had a marriage before, Anjihou's mansion is still Anjihou's." An old minister next to him heard Emperor Ming's question, and without waiting for Gu Huaili to reply, he replied to Emperor Ming unhurriedly, and the meaning of his words was self-evident.
When Emperor Ming heard the old minister's words, he glared at the old minister who answered fiercely, and continued in an angry voice: "You mean that I have brought Gu Huaili, Marquis of Anji, originally these are my family affairs, and it doesn't matter if I don't want to tell you, since the ministers have objections to me, I will relieve your doubts." As he spoke, he took out a letter from the imperial table and handed it to the personal eunuch Zhang Gonggong next to him.
Zhang Gonggong took the fold handed over by Emperor Ming with both hands, walked down the jade steps, and handed the fold in his hand to the hand of the minister who knelt first, after the minister saw the fold, he handed the fold to the person next to him, and after the person next to him read it, he handed it to the person behind him, so that after all the ministers read the fold, Gonggong Zhang took the fold back to Emperor Ming's side.
Seeing Gonggong Zhang standing beside him again, Emperor Ming looked at His Royal Highness's ministers, and then continued to speak: "I originally planned to marry Gu Huaili's daughter to marry King Ning as a concubine, but Gu Huaili's daughter already had a marriage contract, and later I verified that the person in the marriage contract turned out to be a person from an enemy country pretending, and I remembered that the Anji Marquis Mansion was also deceived by people, although Gu Qing was mediocre but loyal and patriotic, Gu Qing's daughter was smart by nature, I wanted to choose an excellent son of the family to marry Gu Qing's daughter......"
"It was the king who asked the emperor to give marriage, the king met the daughter of Anjihou in the past, and had a slight impression of the daughter of Anjihou, and then heard that the daughter of Anjihou had a marriage contract, and had regrets, and later heard that the marriage contract was fake, so he specially asked the emperor to take the daughter of Anjihou as a side concubine." Long Hanyuan stood up and spoke lightly.
When the ministers heard Long Hanyuan's words, they exchanged heads and ears for a while.
"Do you still have any doubts?" After Long Hanyuan finished speaking, Emperor Ming, who was at the top, asked His Royal Highness's minister lightly, his tone was joyful and angry.
However, the ministers who had long been familiar with Emperor Ming knew that Emperor Ming was going to settle accounts with them, so they bowed down to Emperor Ming on the Jinluan Palace, and said in unison: "The ministers know their sins, and the saints atone for their sins!" ”
"Just be convicted! You and others gathered for no reason to roar the Golden Palace, and the ministers were fined for three months and retreated! Emperor Ming's voice was not angry but mighty.
"Congratulations to the emperor—"
Emperor Ming looked at the ministers who bowed their heads, and when he got up and turned to leave, there was no trace of anger on his face, but the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, which showed that he was in a very good mood.
In the palace of the Queen Mother
The Queen Mother asked Emperor Ming, who was in a very good mood, "The emperor didn't think about marrying Gu Huaili's daughter to a family at all!" ”
When Emperor Ming heard the Queen Mother's words, he put down the teacup in his hand and replied to the Queen Mother: "It's still the Queen Mother who understands me." ”
"But the mourning family still doesn't understand, since Southern Xinjiang has that meaning, why doesn't the emperor push the boat with the water?" The Queen Mother continued to ask suspiciously.
"The queen mother should understand that Gu Huaiyi saved my life, and I want to reuse the Anji Hou Mansion, of course it is impossible to marry the daughter of the Anji Hou Mansion into a foreign country, and there is ......" Emperor Ming said this, stopping.
"Is the emperor taking care of the Jun family?" The Queen Mother answered clearly.
Hearing the words of the Queen Mother, Emperor Ming got up from his seat, stood with his hands in his hands, and said to the Queen Mother on the head: "What happened back then, our royal family is sorry for the Jun family, I also know the loyalty of the Jun family, but the Jun family retreated to Lingnan and did not come out. ”
"Then who did the emperor originally plan to marry Gu Qingjin to?"
"Of course, the most suitable is Shu Yuan, but Gu Qingjin has a marriage contract before, although the marriage contract is fake, but after all, it has some influence, I think about it, I only think that the prince's side concubine is quite moderate." Emperor Ming said to the Queen Mother without concealing it at all.
"The crown princess, it's very good? Then why did the emperor point out that girl to Han Yuan in the end? The Queen Mother asked with interest.
Hearing the Queen Mother's question, Emperor Ming thought of the previous things, in fact, he was also a little surprised, Long Hanyuan's son, he didn't pay special attention to it at first, but I don't know when, this son began to enter his sight, especially in the past two years, he has become more and more satisfied with Long Hanyuan, and feels that this son is very good at doing things, and he doesn't form a faction, the only thing that feels bad is that this son is too cold.
I didn't expect that one day this cold and silent son would run to him and say that he had a good impression of a woman and wanted to marry that woman as a side concubine.
But this person turned out to be Long Hanyuan, who he felt was the most unlikely to be emotional, so not only did he not get angry, but he was also in a good mood to let the third son continue.
When this son said that the woman turned out to be Gu Qingjin, the daughter of Anjihou, Emperor Ming's heart moved, in fact, after Gu Huaiyi rescued him, there was a copy of the most detailed investigation information of Anjihou Mansion on the desk, and when he knew that Anjihou Mansion and the Jun family were in-laws, he was obviously stunned.
But he didn't expect that Gu Huaili's concubine already had a marriage contract, which was made not long before he returned to Beijing with his royal conquest, as the emperor, he couldn't help but start to wonder if there was any conspiracy in this.
So let people check some, but I didn't expect to find out some things, when he knew that Gu Qingjin was the granddaughter of the Jun family, it was impossible for him to let Gu Qingjin marry into a family or marry into a foreign country, thinking of Gu Huaiyi, who rescued him, he really wanted to reuse Gu Huaiyi, but when the Anji Hou Mansion was related to the Jun family, he had to let him consider it carefully.
Thinking of a talent like Gu Huaiyi being abandoned like this, I felt that it was a pity, just when he was in a dilemma, the things he checked made him feel shocked, Gu Qingjin's marriage contract was fake, then he could openly issue a holy decree to let Gu Qingjin marry into the royal family, and Gu Huaiyi could also be used by Guan Ming.
And it also solved the reason why he couldn't give Gu Qingjin a concubine, the background of the Jun family doomed him to not be able to point out Gu Qingjin to the prince as a concubine, and he was not very at ease when he put it outside, and Gu Qingjin had a fake marriage contract, and the person who had a fake marriage contract with Gu Qingjin was still in southern Xinjiang, so he had a reason to only give Gu Qingjin a lower position.
The first thing he thought of was the crown prince's side concubine, but when he thought that the queen's family had added a lot of power to the prince, and the prince had begun to be a little restless over the years, he excluded the prince again.
After excluding the crown prince, when he was thinking about which son to marry Gu Qingjin, the third son happened to come, saying that he had taken a fancy to a woman and asked for marriage, and the object of the request was Gu Qingjin he was considering. (To be continued.) )
