Xu Shiqiu's intuition was very accurate. The morning assembly the next day was not peaceful at all.
The Emperor Ruikang did not know whether he had discussed this with the Prince Duan and the Master Xuan Ling in advance, but on the morning of the second day, Xu Shiqiu did not even need to stick his head out.
Hearing that the Emperor Ruikang took the initiative to mention this matter, even Ye Jingxing, who had received the news that night and arranged many things, was extremely surprised. It was obvious that he did not understand what was going on with his Royal Father.
Not only did Ye Jingxing not understand, all of the princes who had already entered the imperial court did not understand.
Just by looking at how Uncle Prince Duan stood there unfazed, they understood that Uncle Prince Duan would definitely know what he had done today.
Since Uncle Prince Duan knows about this, then did Royal Father do this on purpose?
When they thought of this possibility, the princes fell silent.
Other than the few princes, the courtiers and officials who knew Emperor Ruikang's character well, did not speak anymore.
Since they did not say anything, Emperor Ruikang was successful. Xu Shiqiu wanted to say something, but Ye Jingxing just gave him a meaningful glance.
With his brother-in-law's gaze, Xu Shiqiu did not say anything.
Emperor Ruikang sat at the seat of honor, and could clearly see the expressions of everyone below. Thinking back to their discussion yesterday afternoon, Emperor Ruikang sighed in his heart, and in the end, he concluded, "We didn't teach Qi'er well, this is our fault."
No one expected the Emperor Ruikang to suddenly open his mouth and say such words. The moment he said those words, the people who were originally standing in the imperial court all 'panicked', expressing that there was nothing wrong with His Majesty.
"No, I was wrong." At this moment, Emperor Ruikang looked like he had aged a long time. However, an imposing manner that was not there before was revealed in his eyes, "Since he has done wrong, then I will change." Saying that, Emperor Ruikang did not say how he wanted to change his plans and immediately announced his retirement.
Emperor Ruikang's move had really stunned many people.
Even Xu Shiqiu couldn't understand it.
Until Ye Jingxing used the reason of Xu Nuanwen seeing him back to the Old Madame Xu to come to the Xu Family.
"The Royal Father must have made a big move, and if he were to explain everything clearly, we cannot go overboard against Ye Jingche." Ye Jingxing had also returned home to carefully ponder over it for a long time before finally understanding that even though his Royal Father had personally exposed this matter, he was actually still protecting Ye Jingche.
Even though it was hard to understand this point, he understood that ever since the incident with the crown prince, his Royal Father had always had this kind of personality.
Even if his son had done something wrong, he would not be willing to take his son's life.
This time, Royal Father chose to completely expose what Ye Jingche had done, and it would indeed cause Ye Jingche to have a bad reputation, so much that he would completely fall out of the fight for the throne.
Because he had personally dealt with his own son, no matter what son he had in the future, it would be impossible for him to make things difficult for Ye Jingche with this matter.
After Ye Jingxing understood all these, he did it alone for a long time. Although he knew that if it was him, the Royal Father would also do the same, he still felt uncomfortable.
Furthermore, he had a feeling that his Royal Father was probably holding back on his big move this time.
Seeing Ye Jingxing's sad expression, Xu Shiqiu did not know what to say.
When Ye Jingxing regained his senses, he saw Xu Shiqiu's somewhat blank expression. Seeing him act this way, Ye Jingxing laughed instead.
"Shiqiu, right now, you only have one daughter under your knee. I'm afraid you won't understand this feeling." Ye Jingxing said, seeing that Xu Shiqiu did not say a word, he directly said: "I have three sons, and Brother Shuo is not even the son of your sister. In any case, they are my sons in my heart, and I think they can all live well. Presumably, the Royal Father also has the same thought right now. "
His son's mother was different, but they were both his sons, his bloodlines.
There was only one throne, and it could only be given to one son. However, the other sons couldn't treat them unfairly either.
If the throne wasn't easy to give, then he would pamper it in other aspects. As long as it wasn't too excessive, he would pamper it.
After Xu Shiqiu understood what Ye Jingxing was thinking, he immediately understood what the Emperor Ruikang was thinking this time.
He knew that his son had done something wrong, but he did not want his son's life.
"Your Majesty is also a kind father."
Although Xu Shiqiu said that, he was shaking his head in his heart.
Right now, His Majesty was only thinking about how to be a father, but he'd forgotten that he had an even more important identity, the 'emperor'.
He was the king of a country. Right now, he wanted to be a good father to his father, but he had never been an emperor.
If it were not for the fact that there were more loyal officials and fewer treacherous officials in the court, there would have been chaos after this incident.
Just these few words, Xu Shiqiu did not dare to say.
Although brother-in-law was a good man, that person was still his father.
It was unknown if Ye Jingxing understood the meaning of Xu Shiqiu's words, but in the end, he only raised his hand and patted Xu Shiqiu's shoulder and said: "Since Royal Father asked, then you shouldn't investigate too deeply into this matter. Moreover, Uncle Prince Duan is here too. "
After Xu Shiqiu heard this, he did not speak, and the truth was that he did not know what to say.
The hatred between and Xu Family was no longer something that could be put down so easily; it was just that now, it was truly not a good time for him to do anything else.
Because of Ye Jingche's matter, the capital had become much safer. And just at this moment, the patriarch of the merchant's Jiang Family had talked business with someone outside for once, and his mouth had leaked out.
He wanted to let his cousin leave home, but he was worried that his mother would be sad.
"My cousin was forcefully set up for me by mother, but in my heart, my cousin is like my own sister, I …" Without even needing to say anything, just the words from before, Jiang Han had already revealed all of his intentions.
The reason why he married Xu Yanzhu was because his mother, who had already passed on, wanted him to marry her.
It was filial piety.
As for marrying his cousin back home, he had always regarded him as his' blood related sister '. If he married this blood related cousin of his, then Jiang Han's life would truly be rather tough this past year.
Not long after Jiang Han had said these words himself, the sound of wind began to spread among the women who had seen Xu Yanzhu before.
"My eyes are very sharp. When summer comes and we have a banquet at home, I can tell that she is still a woman."
"Sigh, she is also pitiful. Otherwise, with her status, it would be very easy to find a small official with a good education. In the future, if someone from the Xu Family were to be promoted, they might even be able to wear a first-class uniform. "
"Yeah. This family's aunt is from Crown Princess. Even if their second family doesn't have much potential, this family's uncle and Third Uncle do have the ability. "
"At that time last year, Xu Family had yet to return to the capital."
"Regardless of whether I return to the capital or not, at least I have a blood aunt who is a Crown Princess."
The families of the merchants in Beijing had been discussing about the Jiang Family recently.
Even some officials had heard about it, having been implicated into the Xu Family because of this.
Of course, there were also people who were suspicious of this matter.
However, not many people knew about the matter regarding Xu Yanzhu and her, so those people guessed for a long time. In the end, they could only guess one thing, Xu Family felt that their Jiang Family were not suitable for Xu Yanzhu, and this was forcing Jiang Han to let go.
But not long after this was said, when Jiang Han was touring the business area, he directly told his friends that he had decided to leave with his cousin and also let his cousin go, in order to prepare a dowry for her.
"My cousin's mother was my aunt, father originally had a sister like aunt, but now I'm the only one with Jiang Family. "Today, I will treat my cousin like my own little sister, and in the future, my child will also have a loving aunt."
Jiang Han's words were especially pleasant to hear, even the Madame Jiang who heard the news was beautiful.
Originally, she was worried that Xu Yanzhu would really leave the Jiang Family, but now, with Jiang Han's words, she was extremely happy.
Thinking back to how her brother had doted on her back then, the Madame Jiang didn't have such a huge opinion of the matter of Jiang Han and Xu Yanzhu leaving her.
Only, she did not expect that, as soon as she came to Old Madame Xu and mentioned where Xu Yanzhu was going to stay after leaving the Jiang Family, Old Madame Xu would immediately tell her that she had already made arrangements.
"You don't have to worry about this matter. The most important thing for you right now is to explain it clearly to Yanlang and the Xu family." Even though Old Madame Xu didn't like the Madame Jiang, he had concealed the matter of Xu Yanzhu being pregnant from her. However, thinking that she was Xu Yanzhu's biological mother, she softened her tone a little and said in the end, "If you're interested, then prepare well. Since Jiang Family has a hundred days of filial piety, when you're free, go and help out a little."
After saying these words, the Old Madame Xu was afraid that the Madame Jiang would sense something from her Jiang Family, so she couldn't help but continue: "If it's inconvenient to go, then you should prepare some things to send over. Since your nephew is giving you face, you should also make a gesture. "Right now, he really does want to be filial, but in the future, he will eventually get married. Go and tell him that I will definitely help keep an eye on his marriage."
Old Madame Xu made a promise, although she did not know if Madame Jiang could understand, but Old Madame Xu believed that as long as she passed these words down to Jiang Han, Jiang Han would definitely understand.
Jiang Han indeed understood what the Old Madame Xu meant.
He had long since thought about it. With his identity as a merchant, he had already married three times. The first two were all short-lived, so it wouldn't be easy for him to marry again in the future.
Even if they were both merchants, there probably wasn't any girl that was willing to marry him.
However, he did not expect the Old Madame Xu to actually make a promise. With the Old Madame Xu's words, Jiang Han was sure that the woman he would marry in the future would not be bad.
Because of this matter, Jiang Han's mood was extremely good. As he busied himself with the matters of the Hundred Days of filial piety, he also busied himself with the matter of sending Xu Yanzhu off.
During this period of time, Xu Yanzhu had become a little more spirited. If she were to leave, she would definitely show her face in front of everyone, at least, she definitely could not spread the word that she was pregnant.
Regarding this matter, he had to be careful, someone from the Xu Family would also come to help.
had been very busy during this period of time regarding Xu Yanzhu.
Although Xu Yanzhu had already married someone once, there were still a lot of people in the capital who wanted to be related to Xu Family. Many people did not care about Xu Yanzhu marrying anyone, and all went to Xu Shiqiu to find out more news, wanting to marry Xu Yanzhu back.
Helpless, Xu Shiqiu could only say: "Even though my niece wants to be at peace with Jiang Han. But she said that, after all, she had been a woman for a year in the Jiang Family, so after leaving the Jiang Family, she would go to the temple and spend another year in mourning. "
When Xu Shiqiu said this, some people immediately left, but there were still others who did not give up.
Just as Xu Shiqiu felt that he could not hold it in anymore, a piece of unbelievable news came out from the palace.
