Chapter 246: The Dark Tide is surging
When Wei Shuo returned to Jiankang again, it had been nearly a month since he left last time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
As the New Year approaches, there seems to be a festive atmosphere in the air.
Wei Shuo first arrived, and he didn't know anyone, so he had to live in the post house every day.
Unexpectedly, just a few days after he came back, the big matchmaker Wang Mi came to the door.
"What do you say? The Son of Heaven wants to marry Princess Jinling to me? ”
"Most of the guards don't know, originally His Majesty intended to recruit Xie as a colt."
"Who knew that after the arrival of the Great Capital, His Majesty changed his attention and took a fancy to you."
"But, but, I already have a wife and concubine, how can I still marry a princess?"
As soon as he said this, Wei Shuo's figure suddenly changed, and his face changed greatly.
"Your Majesty won't let a certain divorced wife marry another, right? If so, I would like to ask the secretary to tell Your Majesty, and I will never agree. ”
"Dadu Hu has misunderstood, Your Majesty has no such intention."
Wang Mi hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty knows that the Dadu Protector couple is deeply affectionate, how can he do anything to destroy the marriage of his subordinates? ”
Seeing Wang Mi talking nonsense seriously, Wei Shuo couldn't help but pouted secretly.
As far as he knew, in order to marry Wang Xianzhi, Princess Xin'an forced Wang Xianzhi to take a break from his original partner Xi Daomao, which also made Wang Xianzhi finally depressed.
However, looking at Wang Mi's anxious white face, I think that the royal family really has no intention of forcing him to divorce his wife.
Then again, even if the Son of Heaven really forced him to divorce his wife, Wei Shuo would not refuse like Wang Xianzhi who could only use self-harm.
As a hero, he has the confidence and strength to say no to this matter.
However, the royal family took the initiative to send a woman, which is beneficial and disadvantageous for Hexi, and Wei Shuo has no reason to refuse, right?
He thought for a while and asked, "I don't know how old the princess is?" ”
Wang Mi looked at this, and immediately knew that this matter had become a majority, and put his heart back in his stomach, and then as long as there was no major problem, it was estimated that the marriage would be completed.
Unexpectedly, when Wang Mi told the princess's age, Wei Shuo instantly exploded again.
"What? The princess is only thirteen years old? ”
When he heard that the princess was still underage, Wei Shuo was full of black lines.
He's a normal man, he doesn't have any special hobbies, and he really can't do anything to a little girl who is still a junior high school student.
"Secretary Lang, this, this...... This, Shuo and the princess are nine years apart, isn't it inappropriate? ”
"What's wrong with that?" In this regard, Wang Mi was very puzzled.
"Isn't the princess a little young?"
"It's not small, it's fourteen years after the New Year, and another year is the year of Jilu, and it's time to get married."
Looking at the righteous Wang Mi, Wei Shuo felt that his brain hurt.
Only then did he remember that in ancient times, marriage was generally discussed at the age of fourteen or fifteen, unlike in modern times, when there were many people who did not get married until thirty or forty.
"If most of the protectors feel that getting married this year is too hasty, they can also wait for the princess and the queen."
Seeing that Wei Shuo had been entangled in the age of the princess, Wang Mi had no choice but to take a step back and propose to marry two years later.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard this, Wei Shuo had no objection and agreed.
After convincing Wei Shuo, Wang Mi left the post house happily, and he wanted to hurry into the palace to report the good news to the emperor.
……
Soon, the news of the princess of Shang Jinling who was mostly protecting her heart spread to the ears of Princess Jinling herself.
Originally, ancient people were precocious, not to mention that Princess Jinling grew up in a complex palace, and her mind was more mature than ordinary people.
is used to seeing the intrigue everywhere in the palace, and since she was sensible, she has been particularly envious of her aunt Princess Sima Daofu of Xin'an.
I also hope that one day I can marry a suave family like Wang Xianzhi and live a dull life.
When she first learned that her father intended to marry her to Xie Ming, Princess Jinling's heart was full of joy.
Because in her eyes, Xie Chao is another 'Wang Xianzhi': the same family from a wealthy family, the same literary style.
Unexpectedly, before she could be happy for a few days, there were rumors that the Son of Heaven had changed his attention and wanted to accept Wei Shuo as a colt.
Originally, the princess didn't believe such rumors, after all, Wei Shuo already had a wife, and the royal family would not let the princess be a concubine.
Who knew that as time went by, more and more revelations corroborated this rumor to prove that it was true, and the Son of Heaven really wanted to marry her to Dadu Guardian Shuo.
When it comes to Dadu Hu, Princess Jinling is not unfamiliar, after all, this name is the hottest one in Jiangdong recently.
As far as she knows, most of the guards Shuo started from scratch, from Gaochang all the way, after seven years of hard work, has now recovered the land of Liangsha Shuo Qin four states, under the command of tens of thousands of people with armor, is one of the northwest Fang Haoxiong.
Although Wei Shuo is powerful, he is not a good match in her heart, so the princess has cried to the Son of Heaven several times.
Unexpectedly, the Son of Heaven not only did not sympathize with her, but also said that the matter had been decided, and there was no possibility of change.
"Cousin, cousin, cousin......"
Just when Princess Jinling was secretly sad, she suddenly heard an exclamation from outside the hall, and she didn't need to ask if it was her cousin Wang Shenai.
Wang Shenai is the daughter of her aunt Sima Daofu, who is only nine years old this year, and she is very popular with her father.
There were even several times when she overheard her father say that she was going to let Wang Shenai be the crown princess in a few years.
As soon as she thought of the stupid and stupid crown prince Sima Dezong, Princess Jinling's gaze when she looked at her cousin was full of pity.
Somehow, all of a sudden, she felt that marrying Wei Shuo was not so painful.
"Cousin, what are you doing in a panic?"
"Hee-hee, you didn't do anything."
Wang Shenai's smile is full of young girlish fun, a pair of big watery eyes are embedded in the goose-egg-like face, and there are always intoxicating dimples at the corners of his mouth when he laughs.
His hair was tied together with purple ribbons, and he wore a goose-yellow dress with a circle of orchids embroidered on the placket.
The swarthy eyes blinked, and the words of the small mouth were like a cannon.
"The plum blossoms in my house are blooming, and my mother asked me to come over and invite my cousin to come over to enjoy the flowers."
At this time, Princess Jinling was worried about the marriage, how could she be in the mood to enjoy the flowers, so she had to politely refuse.
"Cousin, my sister is not in the mood to enjoy the flowers now, or you thank my aunt for me, I won't go."
"Huh? So? But my mother has asked people to prepare fruits and snacks, and invited a lot of wealthy young ladies, if my cousin doesn't go, isn't it bad? ”
"This ...... Well, I can also stop by my aunt, I heard that she has been sick again recently. ”
As soon as he mentioned his mother's body, Wang Shenai, who was originally full of smiles, suddenly wanted to cry.
Since Wang Xianzhi's death, Sima Daofu's health has been getting worse day by day.
It's strange to say, although Wang Xianzhi doesn't like Sima Daofu, Sima Daofu has a deep love for him.
"Okay, sister, don't worry, I believe that my aunt Jiren has her own natural appearance, and she will get better as soon as possible."
Under the comfort of Princess Jinling, Wang Shenai quickly calmed down, and then the two little sisters walked out of the palace holding hands.
……
When the princess was distressed by the replacement of the horse, Sima Daozi, the prime minister, was also furious about Wei Shuo's marriage to the Son of Heaven.
In recent years, the contradiction between him and the Son of Heaven has become more and more acute, and the two sides have repeatedly clashed over the imperial court and local power.
And the Son of Heaven has gained the upper hand many times because of his famous righteousness, and now he has successfully pulled Wei Shuo to help, and his momentum is getting higher and higher.
Sima Daozi said viciously: "Lone must not let Wei Shuo marry a princess, otherwise the Son of Heaven has Wang Xun, Xu Miao and others as the humerus, and Wei Shuo and Wang Gong as wings outside, won't this king no longer have no chance to control the government?" ”
"National treasure, is there any way you can break up this marriage?"
Hearing this, Wang Guobao's eyes rolled sharply, and his brain quickly thought about it, and he thought about it for a while.
"King Xiang, if you want to break up this marriage, you must find a woman with a deep background to marry Wei Shuo before the Son of Heaven has issued an edict."
"You said it lightly, where can you find such a woman alone?"
"No, there really is such a person in front of you." Wang Guobao's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what to think, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Oh? I don't know whose woman is comparing the royal princess to the princess. ”
"This person is not an outsider, but the nephew of the king and the queen."
"I heard that His Majesty once intended to accept her as the crown princess, but it was temporarily shelved because Princess Xin'an strongly opposed it."
"As we all know, the crown prince Sima Dezong is an idiot, and Princess Xin'an will never watch her daughter jump into the fire pit."
"It is said that Princess Xin'an also secretly looked for a husband for her daughter, but Your Majesty released the news early, and the major families were afraid of being hated by Your Majesty, so they didn't dare to marry Princess Xin'an."
"No accident, as soon as Princess Xin'an passes away, Wang Shenai, who has no father and mother, will definitely be unable to escape the fate of entering the palace."
"If King Xiang stretches out an olive branch at this time and pulls Princess Xin'an along, it will not only destroy the Son of Heaven's intention to win over Hexi, but also further thwart the Son of Heaven's attempt to consolidate the relationship with the Langya Wang family through Wang Shenai, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone."
