Chapter 377： It's just a waste of chess +5

Li Jing nodded, "If the manpower is completely arranged according to the highest configuration of the princess and her relatives, and the elite soldiers who are put on the bright side to be responsible for the escort, and the elite soldiers who are disguised as coachmen, entourages and dowry personnel, these people are added together. It's enough to make Pei suffer a lot."

Once the strength of the Pei family is damaged by this, those alien races in the northwest will definitely seize the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Ye Anlan frowned, "Is the royal family of the Great Zhou determined to lure wolves into the house?"

Li Jing sighed, "They have already abandoned the common people in this world." Otherwise, there would not be so many troubles, and there would not be so many people who would choose to rise up against the imperial court.

Ye Anlan followed him and sighed, "I hope Pei Yuanjiang can be more alert." Otherwise, the people in the northwest will be in great trouble.

***

The two of them took hundreds of Ye Anlan's confidant guards and rushed all the way to the capital, but unfortunately, they still failed to catch up with the marriage team to leave the capital.

There were many officers and soldiers responsible for escorting Ji Tian, ​​and the accompanying coachmen, entourages, and dowry personnel were indeed as Li Jing had expected, all of which were prepared according to the highest standards for a princess marriage.

It is completely different from the personnel. The dowry that was supposed to be very rich for the princess, but there is not much valuable stuff in it.

The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty was obviously reluctant to give a large amount of property to the Pei family or those foreigners in the northwest. Among the dowry they prepared for Ji Tian, ​​the only one that could match her status as a "princess" was actually the one used to hold her dowry Big box_(:з」∠)_

Forty percent of the box was used by the officers and soldiers sent by the Da Zhou royal family to hide weapons, and the remaining 60% belonged to Ji Tian.

Half of these things are bedding and pillows, clothes, shoes and socks, jewelry, silk and satin cloth, pressed boxes of gold and silver, daily necessities, small pieces of furniture, playthings, calligraphy and painting books, pills and medicinal materials that Ji Tian's family prepared for her.

Most of these things are the dowry they have prepared for Ji Tian long ago. Although she has been named a princess and will be forced to marry far away in the northwest, her family still treats these things as not in line with her current "princess" status. Everything was taken away by her.

It's also fortunate that her family did this, otherwise Ji Tian might become the only so-called princess in history whose dowry = weapon + rags.

According to the rules, for a princess like Ji Tian who is about to be married, her dowry should not be prepared for her by her biological parents.

But the problem is that the current ruler of the Great Zhou court, the aloof empress dowager, she is reluctant to spend a lot of money to accompany Ji Tian, ​​a useless chess piece.

At first, there were hundreds of thousands of taels of snowflake silver sent to the princess, wouldn't it be nice for her to keep it and spend it slowly?

Secondly, she is not really marrying off her princess, nor is she really trying to achieve friendship and peace with a foreign race in the Northwest through marriage.

Her real purpose is to provoke the alien races in the northwest to attack the Pei family army, which is no longer under the control of the Great Zhou court.

In this case, even if she really gave Ji Tian a generous dowry of gold, silver and jewelry, antiques and ancient books, famous calligraphy and paintings according to the rules of a married princess. Ji Tian must have a life, a life flower!

Once the war breaks out, what awaits Ji Tian will never end well, and her dowry will undoubtedly be cheaper than the Pei family or the Northwest aliens.

Instead of this, the queen mother felt that she might as well keep the money for herself and spend it slowly.

As for Ji Tian's dowry, remove the weapons used by the soldiers of the Great Zhou who pretended to be coachmen, attendants, and dowry personnel, and then remove the rich dowry that Ji Tian's parents have prepared for her for more than ten years. In fact, the royal family of Zhou did not play much.

With a mere 30% of empty boxes, she casually pulled some outdated silks and satins, jewelry of mediocre quality, damp medicinal materials, dusty pianos and chess pieces from the palace's inner warehouse and her own small private warehouse. Embroidery, calligraphy and painting, playthings, and decorations that do not value value can easily fill it.

Although these are just scraps that are simply used to make up numbers, Ji Tian will definitely not need them, but anyway, these things are stuffed in the box, and through the thick wooden boards, others can't see exactly what is stuffed inside the box something.

The face is rounded, and the empress dowager doesn't bother to care about what's going on inside.

As for whether Ji Tian's family will feel resentment towards her because of this, oh, it's born, anyway, ever since she chose Ji Tian as her marriage partner, Ji Tian's family has been dissatisfied with her.

They have enjoyed the benefits of being members of the royal family for so many years, but when things come to an end, they are reluctant to send out even a mere girl to the Zhou court in exchange for a chance of survival.

Since this is the case, why should she continue to be polite and favor to them?

Not only did she want to send Ji Tian out, but she also asked Ji Yu, Ji Tian's brother, to marry Ji Tian in person.

After solving these two, in their county palace, there is only one sick child left in the third generation.

Isn’t it easy to kill a sick child?

Just because Prince Pingkang's mansion did not accept the order immediately, but first brought his family into the palace to plead for Ji Tian, ​​and after the pleading failed, he begged others to help him. .

Not only did she send Ji Tian and Ji Yu to their deaths, but she also took aim at the notoriously ill younger brother Ji Yue of the two siblings.

Under the low eaves, the Pingkang County King and his wife, who could only knock down their teeth and swallow their blood, first sent off their eldest son and eldest daughter with full of resentment and resentment, and then immediately welcomed the grandson from the palace. Clearly aimed at.

Some of the other clan members who were also members of the royal family did not dare to intercede for them at all, and could only silently choose to protect themselves when everyone was in danger, while some were very happy that the Pingkang family was rejected by the Queen Mother.

Prince Pingkang’s mansion is rich, and these people either took advantage of this opportunity to defraud money from Prince Pingkang’s mansion, or they wanted to take over from Prince Pingkang’s mansion after the Palace of Pingkang’s complete disaster. industry.

Because of this, the Prince of Pingkang and his wife were struggling in the capital, and their youngest son, Ji Yue, was also frightened by what happened to his parents, brothers and sisters. a worsening trend.

When Ye Anlan and the others entered Beijing in disguise, it happened that Ji Yue had a high fever because of fright.

Pingkang County King and his wife have always protected him very well, and he has been obediently staying in the palace. However, the queen mother who is determined to make Pingkang County King and his wife have no future is really very clever.

She asked someone to set up a trap, and charged the son of a servant of the palace who was in charge of taking care of flowers and trees with murder.
