Chapter 726 Chapter 726
This is what He Liu reported. He Jiang was a little puzzled when he heard it. "Why do you say that? The general and I, without the eldest daughter, are just Jin Qi from the second wife and cannot achieve anything."
It is a marriage of real money.
It's not just about having a niece marrying in, that can be accomplished!
The interests are tied together, Jin Qi is not important enough to do it.
He Liu sighed, "Now it seems that the eldest girl and the eldest son of the Jin family should have arrived in Liyang, but our people said that as soon as the eldest girl entered the Liyang General's Mansion, she was taken to the suburbs by a carriage. Later, the eldest girl was carried out."
Oh--
When He Jiang heard this, his body trembled.
"Is this news true?"
He Liu nodded immediately, "Our subordinates will send a pigeon to deliver the letter from Liyang within two days. This matter is serious."
"The eldest girl...is dead?"
He Liu quickly shook his head, "No, but later the general came out of the courtyard and someone from his subordinates sent a message. I guess the young lady was punished."
"That's right! The general will not tolerate her sudden death in this marriage."
He Liu looked worried. "My Lord, if the young lady is no longer favored by the general, this marriage will be greatly discounted. I have thought about it and sent someone to find out what the young lady has done in the capital. I think this marriage... is better off being called off."
Quit?
He Jiang looked at He Liu. He knew that He Liu was not the kind of person who would speak nonsense. "Sixth brother, there is no need to hide anything between you and me. Just tell the truth."
He Liu nodded.
After thinking it over, he told the truth, "Let's not talk about the eldest lady's character and virtue, just look at the maids and stewards who died in her life. If you count them carefully, there are three or five of them. I'm afraid that if such a princess enters the mansion, it will really be a burden to you, the prince."
He Jiang narrowed his eyes and sighed helplessly.
"Sixth brother, we have planned before. Not to mention that the princess born by the emperor himself is not my turn, even Liu Zhuang is out of my reach."
To say I have no regrets would be a lie.
He Liu comforted her, "If the eldest lady wasn't so conceited and ruthless, she would be better than Liu Zhuang. After all, everyone in the capital knew that the eldest lady Jin was the legitimate daughter of the general's mansion and the only daughter of Princess Hong'an."
"This marriage is a done deal. Let's see what the general has to say about it."
He Jiang's mind was very clear. He sighed coldly, "My arrogant brother, the emperor, has now sent an envoy to Dalong, wanting to marry a princess to be his queen... Ha!"
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed."
He Liu has been paying close attention to this matter. He sent people to guard the guesthouse of the Honglu Temple and closely monitor the every move of the Dongjun delegation.
"…Why do you say that, Sixth Brother? I entered the palace today with the intention of testing the waters."
He Liu analyzed, "There are only two or three princesses born to His Majesty who have reached marriageable age, and none of them are from concubines of low status. Although we are not clear about the conditions of Dongjun's visit, it has been nearly half a month and the palace has not yet agreed. In my humble opinion, I am afraid that His Majesty does not have this idea."
Dongjun only wanted to return one of the most controversial border areas, namely Yanqiu Pass, Suyangdu and Hezhou County.
Dalong felt that all three places should be returned, and the border guards of Dongjun retreated forty miles.
Dongjun felt that if all three places were lost, the strategic location would be lost, which was unacceptable.
The two sides argued for half a month without any result, and the marriage could only be put on hold. After all, the marriage could only be finalized after the general conditions were agreed upon.
"It's hard to figure out the emperor's intentions, but Jin Fuyun and I can't figure it out for a while. Prince An's death will only delay the wedding for three to five months."
Dalong, the marriage between nobles and powerful officials cannot be solved by just a few words.
"My Lord, I'm afraid that the eldest girl will become a burden to you if she enters the palace." He Jiang sneered after hearing this, "She is extremely stupid. She covets married men and doesn't even consider her own status and position. She acts recklessly. From what I can see now, the robbery and murder at Longen Temple was most likely done by her."
"The Jingzhao Prefecture stopped investigating, and I was confused. That's the royal temple—"
"So, we have no choice but to marry Jin Fuyun."
Ok?
He Liu didn't react, he looked up at He Jiang, "My Lord, what do you mean?"
"Nine times out of ten, it was the general who suppressed this matter."
What princes are guilty of the same crime as commoners, bullshit! Now it seems that Jin Fuyun is a boudoir girl, and the people who serve her died in different ways, which is rare in itself.
If a servant is disobedient and offends his master, his hair will be sold.
Even if they are from a high-ranking family, they cannot take human life lightly. But after Jin Fuyun entered the capital, He Liu shook his head, "If he were to enter our Prince's Mansion and act so recklessly, I'm afraid it would ruin things."
"will not."
Speaking of this, He Jiang smiled faintly, looking calm and composed.
"The general's inner family was in such a fierce struggle that no extra daughters were born. It was this young lady's fault."
He Liu heard this and nodded quickly.
"Yes, if it really happened in our house, and it turned out to be as chaotic as the General's Mansion..."
"Sixth brother, you worry too much."
He Jiang called Zhou Er and brought some hot tea. He took a sip and then said, "She is the only woman in this mansion. Who is she fighting with?"
Uh--
He Liu was slightly stunned, and after pondering for a moment, he whispered, "Your Highness, this young lady has an unusual personality. Otherwise, it would be better to send some of the young men away."
He looked at He Jiang's face carefully, and if he showed any displeasure at the slightest sign of trouble, he would apologize immediately.
But He Jiang was still calm, "Of course I have to send him away. I've grown tired of him over the years. Besides, I should focus on the greater cause. Don't worry, Sixth Brother, I can tell the difference."
He Liu almost burst into tears after hearing these words.
"It was during these difficult days that the prince acted according to circumstances. As time went on, not only outsiders but even his subordinates believed it to be true."
"Don't worry, Sixth Brother. I have no reason to be confused about what is important and what is not... But Jin Fuyun's matter cannot be taken lightly. Now that we have returned to Liyang, we should keep our troops in place and wait and see what the general has to say."
"Yes!"
"Don't embarrass Anlang's servant. You have protected me in the same way before."
He Liu heard this and sighed.
"It was because I failed to protect you well that caused you to suffer a lot."
The sun shone in through the window, and under the window lattice, the sandalwood plum tree exuded a faint sandalwood fragrance that was refreshing.
It seemed as if the memory of his death many years ago came back to his mind. He Jiang suddenly sneered, "It's a pity that he has a bad fate. Although he is an emperor, he is deserted by his friends and relatives."
He Liu walked up to him, holding the teapot, and poured hot tea for He Jiang.
"Your Highness, don't worry about the past anymore. The court is now severely divided, and people's hearts are scattered, like a pile of loose sand. Neighboring countries are constantly invading, and Dalong is eyeing them covetously. He is not happy with his throne..."
