MTL - The Crown Prince Chases His Wife-Chapter 149 where
Zuo Xiangfu, the council hall.
When Prime Minister Wang returned to the mansion, the official media sent by Ji Mu had already left. Wang Xian looked at Mrs. Wang who was sitting in the hall drinking tea slowly, and was about to ask about the situation just now. The housekeeper came to report:
"Master Xiang, Ji Shangshu brought the official media, as well as the dowry gift, to the door of the mansion."
Wang Xian immediately blew his beard and stared,
"Ji Mu, he really dares!"
Wang Xian immediately strode out, and Mrs. Wang was also supported by the old mother, and followed slowly.
Just two steps away, Madam Wang covered her lips and coughed a few times, then smiled.
This season, the adults, the work is really neat.
Then, you should make a decision as soon as possible...
Wang Xian strode to the gate of the mansion, and was about to shout angrily at Ji Mu, who was wearing a moon-white brocade robe, when he suddenly saw the woman standing beside Ji Mu.
Isn't that... the one who just met in the palace, the newly promoted Huaiyin county head, Xuzhou Ji Qiniang?
Wang Xian had some doubts in his heart, but suddenly a bright light appeared!
Ji Mu... Ji Qiniang!
What is the relationship between these two?
Wang Xian appeared in awe, and Ji Qiniang stepped forward with Ji Mu in two steps.
Ji Mu nodded to Wang Xian and said:
"Wang Xiang."
Ji Qiniang pretended not to see Wang Xian's honest words for her son, she smiled and said:
"Master Wang, take the liberty to disturb me, please allow me to propose to your house for my son Ji Mu to marry Wang Jingyi, the eldest lady of your house."
Wang Xian!
Is Ji Mu the son of Ji Qiniang?
At this time, Mrs. Wang, who came next, also went out of the mansion. She passed the left minister Wang Xian, who was a little rude, and smiled and invited Ji Mu's mother and son and the official media to enter the mansion for a detailed discussion.
After Wang Xian regained his senses, due to the identity of the newly appointed Huaiyin County Lord, he said a few scenes to Ji Qiniang in a blunt tone, and several people entered the council chamber of the Xiangfu.
But after half an hour, Ji Qiniang and Ji Mu were personally sent out of the house by Zuo Xiang Wang Xian and Mrs. Wang. From the descriptions of several people, it seemed that the marriage between the two families had been negotiated.
And that's exactly what happened.
When it comes to marrying Wang Jingyi, Ji Mu and Ji Qiniang have lowered their stature to the Zuo Xiangfu, but secretly revealed a tough attitude.
Wang Xian didn't even doubt that if he rejected the Ji family's proposal, the Queen would issue a decree for Ji Mu and Wang Jingyi to marry him without waiting for tomorrow.
Even Ji Qiniang's position as county head is probably a foreshadowing for this marriage.
The Ji family in Xuzhou has a lot of money, and Ji Mu is also considered a newcomer in the court.
But Wang Xian is still slightly blocked. The Wang family has been so prominent for many years and has never been so passively controlled by others.
In any case, this marriage was so hastily settled.
On the same day, the two families completed Nacai, Wenming, Naji, and Nazheng, four of the six wedding ceremonies, and it was tentatively scheduled for half a month to wait for the saint to enter the mausoleum before asking for a wedding.
Wang Xian's complexion was not good-looking, so Ji Qiniang and Mrs. Wang negotiated many matters.
------
Wang Jingyi heard the news of her betrothal at the Censor's Office, and her new fiancé was Ji Shangshu, a hot new official in the court.
There is also a news spread in Beijing at the same time:
It turns out that this Ji Shangshu is the son of the Xuzhou boat king Ji's family, and the only son of Ji's family, and this Ji's family has also been named the head of Huaiyin County.
At the beginning, Miss Wang seemed to have been dismissed from the marriage by the He Fu, but now she turned her head and seemed to have a better marriage. This encounter is truly breathtaking!
As soon as Wang Jingyi returned to the mansion, she was called away by her mother, and the red silk boxes piled up all over the front yard, causing Wang Jingyi's eyes to hurt.
Seeing that her daughter Wang Jingyi didn't look very good, Mrs. Wang knew that she must be unhappy with the marriage, but for now, she wanted to keep her daughter safe first. Besides, looking at that Ji Mu, she was also a little sincere towards her own daughter. .
Mrs. Wang handed the dowry list from Ji Mu to Wang Jingyi:
"Look at it."
After Wang Jingyi took it, she quickly glanced at it, but her expression changed instantly.
Rao was born in a rich and noble family, and she walked around the palace since she was a child. The things in this dowry list made her dazzled.
Madam Wang said to Wang Jingyi:
"Jingyi, my mother is a visitor, and some things can still be seen."
"Do you have another man you like?"
When Wang Jingyi heard the words, her body was slightly stiff, but she did not respond to Madam Wang's question. She did not even raise her eyes to meet Madam Wang's eyes. Her eyes still fell on the dowry list in her hand with the densely written names.
Seeing her daughter's reaction, Mrs. Wang confirmed her suspicions.
Madam Wang went to sigh and continued:
"Jing Yi, you are a girl with an idea."
"If you really have a man you like, but whether it is the man or you, there is no movement."
"That only means that the man either has a family or has no intention of you."
"Jingyi, you also understand that now is an extraordinary period. Mother decided this marriage with Ji's family for you, not to harm you."
"Mother doesn't know how long you've known that Ji Shangshu, and whether you have any other pasts. But look at the things on the dowry list, apart from the precious ones, you can't find them in a day or two. ready."
"Mother guessed that Ji Mu should have been preparing for this marriage for a long time."
After Mrs. Wang said this, she coughed violently.
Today, she is indeed a little overworked, but she is very satisfied and her heart is determined.
Wang Jingyi put down the gift list and quickly walked over to support Mrs. Wang and follow her back.
After Mrs. Wang coughed and calmed down for a while, she panted slightly and looked at Wang Jingyi, and said slowly:
"Jingyi, listen to your mother, don't toss yourself, just live your life smoothly, darling."
Wang Jingyi met her mother's earnest eyes, and finally she nodded to Madam Wang.
------
On the second day of the marriage between Zuo Xiangfu and Ji Shangshufu, another news that shocked Chaotang three times spread all over Shangjing.
Mrs. Wang, the mistress of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, went to Dali Temple to report the Zuo Prime Minister's corruption and collusion between officials and businessmen for personal gain.
Madam Wang made a statement to Dali Temple:
"Ten years ago, when I brought my daughter Wang Jingyan to a temple in Yangzhou, I met a thief and was rescued by a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou."
"There is an eminent monk in the temple who once said that if my daughter Wang Jingyan is kept at home, the catastrophe of her daughter Jingyan can be resolved."
"But I never thought that, not long after, Jingyan was gone because of a continuous high fever."
"But after discussing with the Yu family, the family found another orphan girl of the same age as Jingyan to act as my daughter and continue to raise her."
"And after that, the Yangzhou Yu family donated countless money to the Zuo Xiangfu through this fake Jingyan."
"Master Xiang also gave Yu's family a lot of news and business convenience through the convenience of his position."
"The secret contacts between the prime minister's mansion and the Yu family are all covered with a fig leaf, and that is this fake Wang Jingyan, the second daughter of the Zuo prime minister's mansion and the righteous daughter of the Yu family in Yangzhou."
"For many years, in order to maintain the face of the Prime Minister, I have kept it secret and never mentioned it."
"But after my eldest daughter Jingyi went to the Censor's Desk, she would often go back to the palace to discuss some cases with me, which made my conscience more and more uneasy, so I decided to report my husband Wang Xian to the court. There is also the responsibility of concealment and non-reporting, please be punished severely."
After Mrs. Wang arrived at the Dali Temple, she was detained, and the left minister, Wang Xian, was immediately invited to the Dali Temple for questioning, which shook the court.
Of course, Wang Xiang refused to admit what Madam Wang said, but insisted that Madam Wang had been in a state of mental disorder and memory disorder due to her long-term illness and taking medicine. It was all nonsense.
Of course, this case could not be tried in Dali Temple. After all, there is no definite evidence, and there is only one witness, still from Zuo Xiangfu. Indeed, as Wang Xiang said, Madam Wang's mental state was not optimistic.
But on the day that Wang Xiang was taken into custody, Dali Temple Minister Peng Du conveyed the meaning of the Prince's Mansion to the left minister Wang Xian with a sullen expression:
"Mrs. Wang reported the case of Zuo Xiang, although the evidence is not sufficient, but Zuo Xiang's mansion did have a huge amount of money exchanges with the Yangzhou Yu family for a long time. It is not convincing to say that the Yu family supports the righteous queen Jingyan. Mrs. Wang What you have said is probably true, this case was concluded by the Zuo Prime Minister's Office colluding with the officials and businessmen of the Yu family in Yangzhou."
"Now this case has spread all over the streets and is widely known, and the impact is extremely bad."
"I hereby order the Zuo Prime Minister Wang Xian to dismiss his office, Wang Jingheng to be demoted to Xuzhou, and the Zuo Prime Minister's mansion to confiscate his family property together with the Yangzhou Yu family."
"Because Mrs. Wang's initiative to report was influenced by her eldest queen, Jingyi, Wang Jingyi of the Censor's Desk was promoted to the fourth-grade Censor Zhongcheng as a reward."
Wang Xiang slumped to the ground when he heard the words.
This does not require conclusive evidence to confirm the case, even if Madam's accusation is only a one-sided statement, a lie she made up, it is enough to be used by the prince's faction to make a fuss.
Wang Xiangfu, it's over.
------
The corruption case in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion started and ended extremely quickly, and its final verdict was shocking and embarrassing.
When the mother of the head of the family reported the accusation to the officials, the case was quickly closed.
But if it is a corruption case, it is absolutely impossible for the case to just be dismissed from office and ransacked. In the beginning, An Binghuai, the minister of household affairs, was corrupt. In addition to looting the house, there were also male exiles and female relatives who served as official prostitutes. Such a subversive ending.
This case should be just an introduction for the prince to let the left minister withdraw from the court.
The Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion suffered a big change, and only the eldest lady of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, Wang Jingyi, was promoted to one rank and became the fourth-rank censor's middle-ranking officer.
And what you say is a compliment to Miss Wang, but it is just the last compensation for the decline of the Wang family.
The trial of King Liang's case has not yet started, and Mrs. Wang's act of making this report does not seem to be just a righteous killing of relatives.
According to Mrs. Wang, the current second-ranking queen of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, Jingyan, is not her biological daughter, but a fake that has been replaced. Then, King Liang, who married Wang Jingyan as his concubine, has a weak relationship with the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion. After a few minutes, the possibility of Zuo Xiangfu being implicated by King Liang will be even smaller.
Mrs. Wang...is it abandoning the car to protect the handsome...
Of course, Zuo Xiangfu used an unidentified fake daughter to marry the royal family. Whether this is deceiving the king or not is another question.
------
Wang Jingyi met Ji Mu, her current fiancé, in the flower hall of Ji Mansion.
Wang Jingyi did not take a seat, but went straight to the point:
"I already know that you and my mother have met."
"Is it the Dali Temple you asked my mother to go to?"
Ji Mu looked at the woman in front of her who had lost her usual composure and was somewhat furious at the moment.
Ji Mu got up and walked towards Wang Jingyi who was standing in the hall.
Wang Jingyi continued:
"Jimu, did you already know that the Zuo Prime Minister's mansion would not really collapse at all, you lied to me to get married, you... um..."
Wang Jingyi was hugged by the tall man walking in front of her, and a warm kiss rushed to her face.
After the kiss, the lips and teeth parted, Ji Mu looked at Wang Jingyi's black eyes that were a little watery because he couldn't breathe, and whispered:
"Mrs. Ji, please advise me for the rest of my life."
------
Wang Jingyi sat on the carriage returning to the house, her face still a little hot.
Ji Mu is really bad!
But now the ending of Zuo Xiangfu's mansion can be considered as the dust has settled, and finally there is no need to worry about whether he will be smashed to pieces in the court situation.
In the swaying carriage, Wang Jingyi suddenly remembered what her mother said to her when she was serving her mother to sleep just before leaving the house:
"Jingyi, your household registration has been moved to Ji's house. Your dowry and the dowry gift from Ji's house have also been sent to Ji's house. Those are all in your name and are your private property."
"My mother is sorry for you, so you can't get married, I'm sorry, Jingyi."
Wang Jingyi was in a hurry to find Ji Mu and asked, so she didn't care too much, but thinking about it now, the mother's expression and tone...
"Hurry up, hurry back to the house!" Wang Jingyi instructed the driver.
The driver hurriedly whipped the horse, and the carriage quickly drove away to the left minister's residence.
In the car, Wang Jingyi became more and more anxious, her mother...
Afraid of what is coming, when Wang Jingyi returned to the mansion, the whole mansion was crying.
Mrs. Wang committed suicide by taking poison.
The entire Zuo Prime Minister's mansion was shrouded in the mourning of the death of the mistress and the destruction of the house.
Fortunately, due to Mrs. Wang's sudden death, Dali Temple postponed the raiding of the house until Mrs. Wang's funeral, and the entire Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion was slightly relieved.
And another news shocked the entire court.
The left minister Wang Xian was dismissed and resigned from office, and the current minister of personnel, Ji Mudai, was appointed as the new left minister.
The people in Shangjing were exclaimed again.
The new left minister, Ji Mu, is the prospective son-in-law of the former minister, Wang Xian.
And the eldest Queen of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jing Yi, although she is no longer the miss of the prime minister's mansion, has become the lady of the prime minister's mansion.
Ordinary people don't dare to think about Miss Wang's encounter, tsk tsk...
------
Xuzhou.
After receiving the 800-mile urgent order from the Ministry of War, Guannei Hou immediately led his troops to Lingnan.
Guannei Hou also learned that King Liang was defeated, the prince returned to Beijing safely, and his daughter Han Shuangling was actually named a general, and she would go to Lingnan to become the supervisor of the three armies.
Han Shiyan, the Marquis of Guannei, didn't care much about whether he was the commander of the three armies, and he didn't care much about leaving the station. This time, he was lucky that the Marquis of Guannei would not be implicated in the matter of King Liang.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was going to leave the camp and march immediately, Han Shiyan would definitely open a few jars of old wine to drink.
His daughter really gave him a long face!
The army of the Marquis of Guannei marched south in light clothing and rushed to the south, reunited with the Chifeng army and arrived at the camp of Ping Nanbo in Lingnan.
And Princess Crescent Moon, the Queen Regent of Southern Xinjiang, also got news from Daxia.
After Princess New Moon sat silently for a stick of incense, she ordered the entire southern border to withdraw and retreat beyond the border line with Daxia.
But how can the newly formed Daxia Frontier Army coalition be so easy to talk about? You Southern Border Army will come when you say it, and you want to leave when you say it goes?
The three armies in the southern border of Daxia strongly suppressed the retreating southern border army, and pursued the victory, compressing nearly one-third of the territory of the southern border, and the natural danger of the Lancang River in the southern border was bounded as a new border between Daxia and the southern border.
Southern Xinjiang was forced to sign a surrender letter.
------
Princess Xinyue secretly hated in her heart that she had sent troops to Lingnan to contain the forces in southern Daxia, intending to help King Liang succeed, but the end result was that she could not lose money by stealing chickens, and Nanjiang became a big joke.
"Princess, King Liang is here." The palace servant reported to Princess Xinyue.
Princess New Moon raised her hand, and a moment later, King Liang Fengyi, who was wearing only a single shirt, stepped into Princess New Moon's palace.
The new moon princess Shi Yue looked at the man who was walking slowly.
Feng Yi seemed to be taking a bath, and his body was still a little moist.
Liang Wang Fengyi and Prince Feng Zhan are half-brothers, and their faces are naturally similar, but their temperament is too different.
Shi Yue secretly said, next time she should drink some wine and let Feng Yi come over.
This time, just use it.
Ambiguous voices gradually came out of the hall, and when the clouds and rain rested, the two of them stayed and took a bath.
Shi Yue in the bath closed her eyes and soothed her body. When the man's breath approached, Shi Yue's eyes suddenly opened, and there was no **** in her eyes.
Feng Yi noticed Princess New Moon's refusal, he just walked out of the bath in silence, put on his middle clothes and left on his own.
Shi Yue really lost interest, she closed her eyes and leaned against the stone wall, her thoughts were already drifting away.
Qin Yan, the prince concubine of Daxia, is really lucky to have a man as outstanding as Prince Feng Zhan.
Prince Feng Zhan, as long as you can sleep once in your life, it's all worth it.
------
King Liang was blowing the cool wind outside the hall, his eyes were cold.
Now he can only rely on others, and also need to serve people in Israel, so that he can barely survive in the southern border!
Princess Xinyue almost took him as her favorite, and when she withdrew her troops, this woman also sent someone to kill his main concubine Wang Jingyan and side concubine Lin Miao, which was extremely vicious!
But to lose is to lose.
Feng Yi had been dormant for many years, and he was well prepared to lead his troops to Beijing this time, but in the end, he was a success.
Years of planning have been ruined, but the prince is powerful, and I am afraid there will be no other chance other than this time to take advantage of the northern border to fight.
It is almost impossible for the prince to be able to return from the north victoriously so quickly. How did the prince do it?
There is also Xie Changyuan, all indications are that Xie Changyuan is still in love with his ex-fiancee Qin Yan, but he is still the standing prince!
And King Jin is timid and afraid that he won't go to Beijing. King Ning has cooperated with him many times, and they have a good friendship. This time, King Ning didn't even act!
And the news from Qingzhou said that King Ning was not in the palace of King Ning in Qingzhou at all.
So…
Where did King Ning go?
