Chapter 573 Is the Wu family going to rebel?
Not to mention how happy the Duke's house was, even the pain in his body after being cut off one hundred thousand taels of silver was healed.
I just say that there is no airtight wall in the world, and there are no secrets in the new capital...
The eldest son of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion was arrested. The Duke went to the palace to offer money to relieve the country's worries. The eldest son was released the next day. He even got a marriage decree. The eldest son was about to marry the Queen's cousin, the legitimate daughter of the Jiangning Marquis Mansion.
In other words, the crown prince Zhenguo will be the emperor’s brother-in-law from now on? !
This world is so magical...
No, it should be said that silver is so magical.
With one hundred thousand taels, can the dead be brought back to life and your wishes come true? !
Some people are even a little tempted, thinking about donating ten thousand or twenty thousand to make a wish for their family, but people who think like this are extremely stupid.
The truly smart people were not happy at all at this moment, but instead frowned.
In the garden of a certain house, three or five friends were drinking tea together.
Someone looked around and saw that no one was eavesdropping, so he whispered: "The national treasury is empty, and the emperor can't bear it any longer. This is using the matter of subjugating the government to beat everyone, asking everyone to take the initiative to share the country's worries." "
"Yes, I can see it too. However, our families have just moved from Kyoto and have just established their feet. Our energy is severely damaged and we are really helpless." A person next to him turned the jade ring on his hand and frowned. , seems very embarrassed.
It's a pity that no one believed this. After all, the jade ring he was playing with was the best of blood jade. It was a small piece that could not be bought for two or three thousand taels.
But no one opened their mouth to expose it because they didn't want to take money out.
Someone said: "Speaking of which, the emperor is impatient. When the autumn harvest comes and the grain and tax revenue comes, everything will be solved."
"Yes," someone else said: "There is also the Northern Expedition Army. Every time they go out for an expedition, they spend a lot of money and food, which is really a waste. The barbarians on the left and right can't reach the south of the Yangtze River, so why go to the north of the Yangtze River to fight with the barbarians!" "
“Hmph, if you don’t go to Jiangbei, how can the Marquis of Xinting achieve great fame?”
“That is, the Jinsha River is naturally dangerous and the barbarians are fierce. How can they still grow wings and fly over?”
"In the final analysis, it is the Marquis of Xinting who is instigating the emperor and talking about regaining the mountains and rivers every day. You must know that now that Tianwu's vitality has been severely damaged, he has rested and recuperated for ten or twenty years, restored his national strength, and then slowly plots to expel the barbarians, it is nothing not good."
Everyone talked about this matter and they all agreed.
As for donating money and sharing worries for the country, they have long deliberately forgotten them.
Let's see about it later. Maybe the emperor punishes the Duke of Zhenguo, but he can't see it for the moment...
Not to mention the murmurings, speculations and evasions among the families in Kyoto behind their backs, it is just that the Jiangning Marquis Mansion also received the marriage decree. Unlike the joy of the Zhenguo Mansion, the entire Wu family was in a state of shock.
Marquis Jiangning and his wife, who were over seventy years old, as well as the grey-haired eldest son and his wife, and the second son and his wife, were all sitting in the hall, all looking bad.
Especially the second lady, who had already pulled off her handkerchief and wiped her tears, and choked in a low voice: "Everyone in the family knows Lian'er's thoughts. I thought that with the queen's presence, she would definitely have her wishes come true. Who would have thought that she was suddenly Grant a marriage to that dandy prince!
"Isn't the Queen in the palace? Why is there no news at all? She didn't even stop the Emperor?" After hearing this, she blamed the Queen.
The Queen's mother, the Crown Prince's wife, was unhappy.
She originally wanted to persuade her sister-in-law to help her think of a solution, but then she changed her mind and responded calmly: "What my sister and I said is wrong. You also said that the queen is the queen, not the emperor! The emperor wants to grant a marriage, How can the Queen stop her? Are you going to remonstrate me to death?
"Don't say that the queen will not be able to survive in the palace in the future, even our entire prince's mansion will be entangled! Do my brothers and sisters want to bring everyone down just because of Bi Lian?"
"I'm not!" the second lady said anxiously, "then you can't look at it like this! I told you before that I wanted the queen to talk to the emperor more about the marriage between Lian'er and Xintinghou, but there has been no news.
"It's okay now. Lian'er has been given a marriage to someone else. She just passed out and she doesn't know what to do when she wakes up!"
As she spoke, the second lady cried even harder, "My poor daughter, I didn't get pregnant until I was almost thirty years old. She is naturally beautiful, smart and dignified, why is her life so miserable?!"
The old man Hou and Mrs. Hou had a headache from her crying. Mrs. Hou stopped crying and said: "Stop crying, the matter has already happened. Let's think of a way and see how to solve it?"
The second lady wiped away her tears and choked with sobs: "Mother, that's an imperial edict. I can only let the queen go to the emperor!"
"The Queen is Lian'er's sister, and she definitely doesn't want Lian'er to marry a dandy. If Lian'er can marry Xintinghou, Xintinghou has military power and is also a good helper for the Queen..."
"Shut up!" This time it was the old Marquis who said angrily. He subconsciously looked outside the door, and when he saw no outsiders, he glared at his brainless daughter-in-law with a dark face, "What nonsense are you talking about? If this word spreads, the whole family will not want it." Dead!"
There are some things that you can plan, but you can never say out loud.
What does the Queen’s family plan to do to gain military power?
Rebellion?
The second lady also knew that she had said the wrong thing and shrank her neck, "I am also too worried about Lian'er..."
The second master couldn't ignore his wife, and he felt sorry for his daughter, so he begged his father, "Father, don't worry about it so much. Please ask my sister-in-law to go to the palace as soon as possible."
The old marquis nodded and did not say what his granddaughter thought. He only said that their marquis's house could not marry with the town's duke's house under any circumstances.
Zhen Guogong had no real power at all. He only knew that his neck was shrinking, but his son was not a device.
Just this time, the emperor took advantage of him and cut off a big piece of meat. Now everyone treats the Duke of Zhen as a fat pig!
The Wu family is the queen's family, how can they be related to a pig? !
The old Marquis sighed and said: "Come into the palace, let the Queen beg the Emperor properly, and it is best to withdraw the decree. Even if Lian'er cannot marry the Marquis of Xinting, she must not marry the Duke of Zhenguo!"
The Crown Prince’s wife could not disobey her father-in-law’s orders, but she was unsure in her heart, so she could only say: "I will talk to the queen carefully, but I am afraid there is no room for relaxation on this matter. After all, I have never heard that the imperial edict can be withdrawn..."
Of course everyone here knows this, but no one is willing to do it. We still have to give it a try!
The prince’s wife was helpless, so she stood up and left.
You have to send someone to deliver a sign to enter the palace, you have to change your clothes, and you have to prepare things as an excuse to enter the palace...
Fortunately, the third princess was celebrating her birthday, and the family specially made a set of jewelry.
She was planning to walk out, but when she stepped in and out of the door, a woman ran over to her and shouted, "Oh no, something happened!"
