Chapter 629: The Marriage Advances
King Han did not die a natural death, and he had been dead for many days, so it stands to reason that he should be buried as soon as possible.
Especially when Princess Han's mood fluctuates so much, she shouldn't let the coffin be parked more in the Han Palace.
After doing the three-day transcendent ritual, Shangguan Yu wrote a letter to send the coffin of the King of Han to Zixiao City for burial.
Since Zixiao City became a fiefdom, the tombs of the Han kings of all dynasties have been erected there, which means to keep the frontier peaceful forever.
The emperor rewarded a large amount of funeral goods, allowed Shangguan Yu's practice, and issued an edict urging Shangguan Yu to marry early so that he could take over the throne of the Han king.
"The sons of the Han kings in all dynasties first married and then took over the throne. It is a pity that your father died. But you have reached adulthood and are married again, and the family affairs should be completed within 100 days, otherwise you can only do it after three years of filial piety. As an elder, the emperor said to Shangguan Yu.
Although the emperor once wanted to ruin this marriage, the emperor did not like to let the Zhongwangfu and the Han Wangfu marry more than let Bai Ling marry Shangguan Yu.
And everyone in the world is watching, even if the emperor is pretending, he has to take the initiative to mention this matter.
"Weichen, obey the order." Shangguan Yu knelt down and kowtowed in thanks.
Got married ahead of schedule, which was also in Shangguan Yu's plan.
Taking advantage of the wedding, it will be more convenient to send someone out to find the King of Han.
After all, at that time, all forces would focus on Shangguan Yu, the new Han King, and no one would pay attention to anything else.
When Shangguan Yu returned to the palace, he naturally wanted to tell Princess Han about it.
"Youlao's mother is bothered, and family affairs are imperative, only in this way can the emperor believe that the father is really in the coffin, so that he will not send another wave of people to look for it, and the safety of his father will be an additional guarantee." Shangguan Yu said.
"The concubine understands, you just have to do it, and the concubine will wait for your father and son to come back in the palace." Princess Han said with red eyes: "Your family affairs should indeed be done a long time ago." If your father had been here, he would have agreed, and he was anxious for you to marry as soon as possible, so that he could pass on the throne to you. But on the day of great joy, I don't know if your father will be able to come back in time. ”
"As long as the family can be reunited, what does it matter if the time is sooner or later?" Shangguan Yu shook Princess Han's hand and said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, no one will be able to hurt our family in the future, even the Son of Heaven." ”
"Mother believes in you." Princess Han nodded tearfully.
That night, Shangguan Yu wore a night suit, shuttled outside the mansions of many nobles, and soon came to the prince's mansion of the sixteenth prince.
The adult prince can no longer live in the palace.
And the princes who did not have a title all lived on this street, and the mansions were assigned in order of age.
The sixteenth prince, the mother concubine was just a small promise, and she was only favored by the emperor once, and then she had him, but she never got the emperor's favor again.
And that year, the emperor had several concubines who were pregnant, and there were three princes who gave birth, and the sixteenth prince naturally did not get the emperor's attention.
However, because of the sixteenth prince, the emperor gave his mother the position of a nobleman, and because there was no grace and backing, the mother and son have not had many disasters over the years, but there are few who can remember them.
"Does the sixteen princes want to be so obscure all their lives, begging for peace at the feet of others, or do they want to become the dragon and phoenix among people and sit above those ten thousand people?" Shangguan Yu wore a black scarf and went straight into the room of the sixteenth prince.
"Who are you? What do you want to do? The sixteenth prince looked at Shangguan Yu vigilantly, feeling the long sword in his hand, and he didn't have time to draw it out.
Although the sixteenth prince is an adult, the emperor can't even think of marrying him a concubine, and now there is not even a concubine in the house, let alone a concubine and a side concubine.
And there are not many people in the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, and one person has to be used for several people on weekdays, which also makes the Sixteen Princes develop the habit of not letting people keep vigil at night.
Taking off his scarf, Shangguan Yu didn't mind revealing his true face.
"The sixteenth prince can let people know that the prince has come, and he can also tell the emperor and the crown prince, saying that I have the intention of instigating you to compete for the throne. Or is it that the Sixteenth Prince also has ambitions, but he can't show his ambitions and is willing to cooperate with me? Shangguan Yu was not ambiguous, and directly stated his intentions.
"The prince of Han should go back." The sixteenth prince's eyes flashed slightly, but he made a gesture of please, "I'm just a prince who has no backing, and I just want to be stable in this life." But if the son of the world never came, no third person would know. ”
"So I saw the wrong person." Shangguan Yu sneered, "Back in the palace, after Huang Guiren was humiliated by Chen Guifei and others, this prince remembered that the sixteenth prince said that sooner or later, these people will be made to pay the price, and you will make your mother the most noble woman in the world." ”
"When I was a child, I said it in vain, but if the prince didn't say it, the prince forgot about it." The Sixteenth Prince laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Since you have forgotten, the sixteenth prince will continue to cultivate your glory and do your business well. At least a hundred years from now, in your palace, Huang Guiren can have no worries about food and clothing. Shangguan Yu said that, and then turned around and wanted to leave.
"What do you know?" The Sixteenth Prince asked nervously.
"I don't know much, but what I can find out, there must be people who are interested in it. The Sixteen Princes should make preparations, lest the Sixteen Princes be unable to cope when the matter is exposed. Shangguan Yu said leisurely.
"So many royal brothers want to win over the prince, why did the prince choose this prince?" The sixteenth prince stared at Shangguan Yu and asked suspiciously: "Even if I am prepared in private, it is not enough to ask about that position, and the prince should know very well." ”
"With hard work, anything is possible." Shangguan Yu glanced deeply at the sixteenth prince, was silent for a moment and said: "Today, not only are you afraid of the military power of the Han Palace, but you are also afraid of those relatives in the harem?" is that the prince has a good reputation among the people, and now he has to wonder whether he wants to force the palace. ”
It was the first time that the Sixteenth Prince had heard someone say so bluntly, and after hesitating for a moment, he opened the door of the secret room in the bedroom and made a gesture of invitation to Shangguan Yu.
Compared with the decent arrangement of the bedroom, the secret room is even simpler, but it is impossible to see that the sixteenth prince is a rich master.
"Around the sixteenth prince, it's time to arrange some people."
Shangguan Yu took out a night pearl to illuminate it, and pushed a booklet to the sixteenth prince.
"The Han Wangfu has never been involved in any succession, and this time because of my father's affairs, I don't want the Han Wangfu to be a lamb to be slaughtered again. At least the new monarch candidate must believe that the Han Wangfu is finally the imperial court, and all of them have the heart of a minister. These are the reasons why I came to the Sixteenth Prince. ”
After listening to Shangguan Yu's explanation, the sixteenth prince suspiciously picked up the pamphlet on the table.
What is recorded above is not only some of the private properties of the sixteen princes, but also some good deeds they have done.
Although the good deeds were not done much, and they did not even attract the attention of the imperial court, everything was done for the people, and they really paid attention to the hardships of the people.
The booklet also lists the names of several students from poor families, as well as the names of the concubines of the noble family, these people are currently in some inconspicuous small official positions, but they can be regarded as a clear stream of the imperial court.
"You ......" The more the sixteenth prince looked at it, the more frightened he became, but he didn't expect Shangguan Yu to master almost all his hole cards.
Or if Shangguan Yu checks carefully, he will definitely know all his hole cards.
