Chapter 209; Dong Wenjin's choice

What kind of virtue is the prince, who doesn't know the magnates in the capital today?

This Dong family is a Confucian family with a long history, although its power is far inferior to those scholars today.

But its ancestors were the great sages who changed Confucianism back then, although the family power was insufficient, but their status in Shilin, even the scholars had to give face.

However, although some status is detached, the Dong family has always been thin, and they don't like to fight, and they only want to read and educate people according to the wishes of their ancestors.

It can be said that the Dong family is a very pure reader.

Compared with those who are bent on power and fortune under the guise of scholars, they are much purer than those who want to be prosperous and wealthy.

"Hey, why doesn't the old man know, this is not appropriate?"

"But today's Dong family is no longer what it used to be, and the emperor has already made his attitude clear when he directly issued an order this time, so what's the use of saying it?"

Emperor Zhaowu had already summoned him to the palace yesterday, and when he said this, he had already shirked it in every possible way.

But the emperor's attitude is very resolute, and the emperor's purpose in choosing his family Dong Wenjin is also to hope that Dong Wenjin can help correct the prince's character.

He also talked about the difficulty of establishing the Yu Dynasty, and told him about the various things in the last years of the previous dynasty.

Anyway, the meaning of the words is that I hope that Dong Wenjin can assist the prince and make him a suitable prince, so that the Yu Dynasty will fall into turmoil in the future.

People say so righteously, and he is also a person who came from the last years of the previous dynasty, so he knows the darkness of that period.

The Yu Dynasty is indeed much better than it, and now Emperor Zhaowu is a promising monarch.

He really didn't know how to refuse.

When the woman on the other side heard this, she didn't know what to say for a while.

How can a holy decree be disobeyed casually?

Mo said that the Dong family today, even in the era of the ancestors, the ancestors could only obey orders in the face of the holy decree.

"But."

The woman was really unwilling, but she had the heart to say more, and she heard a gentle female voice at the door.

"Grandmother, you don't have to worry about me, I promise this marriage."

The person who came was Dong Wenjin.

The two of them in the hall quickly turned their heads to look at the door, today's Dong Wenjin was wearing a plain long dress, his eyebrows were delicate, and his temperament looked very quiet and gentle.

There is a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth when she speaks, which makes people know at a glance that this is a girl with a very good personality.

"Wenjin."

Guilt appeared on Old Man Dong's face.

"Grandfather, I know that you are difficult, Wen Jin does not complain about you, on the contrary, I think that the emperor values his granddaughter so much, which is a blessing for his granddaughter."

Old Man Dong had already told her about it yesterday, and he didn't hide those words of Emperor Zhaowu.

To be honest, Dong Wenjin doesn't look down on the prince, and even says that he doesn't like it, after all, that kind of behavior really makes people feel a little unfavorable.

But do they have a choice?

The emperor himself spoke, and he said so, this is to give them enough face, if they are unwilling, it is not to give face, and I am afraid that the life of the Dong family will not be easy in the future.

Although her family has a small population, there are still a few men in her father and her generation, and they are all working in the imperial court, and the lifeblood of the whole family is pinched in the hands of others.

Besides, the emperor will be in such a hurry to give marriage, the purpose is also obvious, the date of the prince's wedding has been set, if it is not done like this, won't the royal family become a joke?

Then the Dong family will be even more troublesome.

She was also hungry and thought about it for a long time last night, and promised that although she would feel wronged, there were many benefits that could be brought to the family.

Some people may think that she is not worthy of this, but in this ancient society, the status of women is not high, and it is already a gift from God that she was fortunate to be born in the Dong family, at least from birth to the present, the Dong family has been very good to her.

Rather than being threatened by others in the future, it is better to take this step out of your own grievances, and take this opportunity to say that you can protect the rest of the Dong family in the future.

I have to say that this is also a kind of sadness, but she can't help it, not all women are like her idol Zhaode County Lord.

The two old men were very sad, and the eyes of their granddaughters became more and more guilty.

"Time is running out, the old woman should hurry up and prepare a dowry for Wen Jin."

The old woman did not say a word, but answered and went to work.

The news that Dong Wenjin was given marriage and was about to become the new crown princess soon spread in the capital.

Many people feel sorry for her, and some people think that she is flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix.

Although the Dong family is quite famous in Shilin, they are still a little worse and their strength is not enough, so many people will give face even if they respect it, but they don't take them too seriously in their hearts.

After all, people are realistic, aren't they?

"Why did you choose Sister Wen Jin? The"

As soon as the county lord of Qingyang heard the news, he exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly asked his subordinates to deliver the post.

She has a good relationship with Dong Wenjin, because she is older than Dong Wenjin, so Dong Wenjin has always called him sister.

Hearing this news at this time, how could the county lord of Qingyang not be surprised?

The prince is not a good thing, how can he be worthy of her sister Wenjin?

Not long after, the county lord of Qingyang arrived at Dong's house, and as soon as he saw Dong Wenjin, he immediately asked about the truth of this matter.

When she learned that it was true, she pulled Dong Wenjin and was about to walk out.

"That prince is not a good thing, doesn't this push you into the fire pit? You come with me, I will take you to see my mother, let her enter the palace to help you speak. ”

"Sister Qingyang, I agreed to this."

Dong Wenjin grabbed the county lord of Qingyang, but as soon as her words fell, Qingyang continued to speak; "Promised? Didn't you always dislike that guy? How could you say yes? It must be for the sake of the family, right? ”

"How can you wronged yourself because of this? It's a matter of happiness for the rest of your life. ”

However, Dong Wenjin shook his head and said; "Of course, I know this, but the decree has been made, so what can I do if I don't agree? Even if Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Ningyang is willing to help and say please, can the emperor agree? ”

"Isn't it so easy to take back the decree?"

This is true, although the eldest princess of Ningyang has a lot of energy, she is still a little short of wanting to refute the holy decree.

Especially in today's stall, because of the prince's affairs, the majesty of the royal family has been swept away, if the holy decree is withdrawn at this time, what will happen to the royal family?

Emperor Zhaowu would definitely not agree.

"Then let's go find Yaoyao, if she comes forward, maybe there will be a chance."

As soon as he heard that he was going to find the county lord of Zhaode, Dong Wenjin's eyes lit up slightly, but they quickly dimmed.

Although she also felt that the Lord of Zhaode would most likely have a way, but what about after doing so? That will inevitably cause the emperor's displeasure, and it is not what she wants to do for her own sake and affect others.

"Sister Qingyang, forget it, things are already like this, and there is no need to trouble Lord Zhaode."

"Actually, I think it's very good, you and I have known each other since childhood, you know very well what the situation of my Dong family is, the Dong family needs this position."
