Chapter 181 Recruiting a Prince-in-law
Daming Palace.
Prince Ning, dressed in a bright yellow brocade coat, came here in a hurry. Wherever he walked, sweat could be seen on his forehead, which showed Prince Ning's urgency.
As soon as he entered the palace, the Emperor was wearing loose regular clothes and was playing with the chessboard with great interest.
Seeing the Emperor's calm appearance, Prince Ning calmed down and stepped forward and said, "My son, I pay my respects to my father."
The Supreme Emperor nodded, looked up and saw that Prince Ning looked a little anxious, frowned, and said, "You don't even care about your manners, what happened?"
Prince Ning said respectfully: "Father, at the court meeting today, Prince Teng of the Wang family recommended Jia Yun of the Jia family to take over as the governor of the capital camp."
At this point, King Ning stopped talking. He knew that the Supreme Emperor could understand what he meant.
As expected, the Supreme Emperor frowned and said, "Prince Teng, the military governor of Beijing Camp?"
Prince Ning nodded and said, "Exactly. A few days ago, Wang Ziteng was promoted to the capital inspection post of nine provinces. The emperor's brother asked about suitable candidates for the capital camp. Wang Ziteng recommended Jia Yun of the Jia family, saying that he was young and promising, good at military affairs, and worthy of his honor.
Very useful."
The Emperor's pupils narrowed slightly, and after a moment, he said calmly: "The court officials have no objections?"
The Supreme Emperor did not ask Emperor Chongming for his opinion, but directly asked the court officials.
Prince Ning's face suddenly became ugly. It was the official's attitude that made Prince Ning panic.
After Wang Ziteng recommended Jia Yun, all the officials were surprised but did not say much. Only a few officials suggested that Jia Yun was young, shallow and unworthy of being reused, while the other officials remained silent.
In fact, this was a normal thing. Everyone in the court knew that Jia Yun was a highly valued minister of Emperor Chongming. The prince Teng recommended Jia Yun, and the meaning was self-evident.
Now that they understand, those officials are not fools, so how can they express their stance so easily.
At least we have to wait for Daming Palace's reaction...
Moreover, the Beijing camp is different from other military powers, and it is a disaster for civilian officials to talk too much...
Prince Ning replied truthfully: "I didn't say much, I just said it would be up to the emperor to make the decision."
The Supreme Emperor understood that civil servants could just say this, but those martial arts officials did not know how to do it. Among the hundreds of officials, martial arts honors were included. They did not say anything, so the trouble was not small...
Seeing the Supreme Emperor frowning in deep thought, Prince Ning spoke carefully: "Father, would you like me to remind them? They must be waiting for Father's instructions."
The people that King Ning mentioned were actually those martial arts. After all, they were the basis for the fight between the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Chongming.
It is now the tenth year of Chongming, and Emperor Chongming has been in power for ten years. Most of the original civil servants in the court are no longer there. It can be said that most of the civil servants were promoted by Emperor Chongming, and only a few old ministers are still there.
There was only the Wuxun lineage. They were the founding heroes of the country and had a lot of kindness. Therefore, Emperor Chongming could not act lightly, otherwise he would easily get the reputation of being ungrateful.
The Jia family was originally the leader in martial arts in Beijing. Now Jia Yun, who is also a martial artist, serves as the governor of the Beijing camp. The martial arts line has not been substantially damaged, and not only that, Jia Yun has been re-employed to the martial arts line.
A clear signal that Emperor Chongming had no objection to Wu Xun and could still be reused. In this case, many people must have had other ideas in mind.
It is precisely because of this that King Ning believed that Jia Yun must not be allowed to take over as the governor of the Beijing camp.
The Supreme Emperor frowned and looked at Prince Ning, and said, "They didn't say much. In fact, they had already made up their minds. After all, they were old and could no longer control them."
When King Ning saw the arrogance on the Emperor's face, he was heartbroken. His biggest support was the Emperor. If the Emperor remained silent, those martial artists would not betray King Ning's favor to fight with Emperor Chongming.
"My father is in high spirits, and he will surely live a long life." As he spoke, there were tears in King Ning's eyes. Although King Ning wanted to rely on the Supreme Emperor, he was also a son of a human being, and he had been by the Supreme Emperor's side since he was sensible.
When you grow up and receive all kinds of love, how can you not have the feeling of licking a baby?
The Supreme Emperor's eyes were soft and he said warmly: "Don't worry, I won't be able to survive."
Listening to the gentle words of the Supreme Emperor, Prince Ning felt reassured. He sniffed and said, "Father, please tell me how we should deal with this."
The Supreme Emperor pondered for a moment and then said: "Wang Ziteng recommended him without even saying hello, which shows that he has made a decision. Jia Yun is a close confidant of the fourth child. If he takes over the capital, the attitude of the Jia family must also change drastically. As for other
Several of them, even if I sent people to contact them, may have strange intentions. Now it seems that we have fallen behind, and this matter may not be easy to deal with."
As the Supreme Emperor said before, he is already old and can no longer control the people below him. Moreover, the people promoted by Emperor Chongming are also leaders in the Wuxun lineage. At least half of the people in the Wuxun lineage have other thoughts in their hearts.
, As for the civil servants, the Supreme Emperor has not dealt with political affairs for many years. Most of the ministers in the court are people promoted by Emperor Chongming. Even some old ministers may not be able to continue. If you look carefully, the strength of the Supreme Emperor is no longer as good as that of Emperor Chongming.
When King Ning saw that the Supreme Emperor was becoming pessimistic, he felt quite unhappy and said, "Father, you can't let Jia Yun take over the capital!"
"Hmph". The Supreme Emperor snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly: "I still have a few more years to live, but this villain is so impatient. Well, I want to see how courageous the fourth child is."
As he spoke, the Supreme Emperor changed his tone and said with emotion: "By the way, Xiao Liu is now sixteen years old, right?"
Prince Ning was confused when he heard this. He was talking about business, why did he suddenly talk about his indecent girl?
However, since it was the Supreme Emperor who spoke, Prince Ning did not dare to speak, so he could only say honestly: "Father, my little sister is sixteen, and she will be seventeen in two months."
The Supreme Emperor sighed and said, "She's no longer young. It's time to find a consort for her."
"Husband-in-law?" Prince Ning looked helpless. Why did his father get involved in the prince-in-law's head again? We shouldn't be discussing Jia Yun now...
Wait, something suddenly flashed in Prince Ning's mind. He looked at the Supreme Emperor hesitantly and said carefully: "Father, are you interested in that Jia Yun?"
The Supreme Emperor's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "I have also heard that Jia Yun is not as good as the weak crown, and he inherited the title at a young age. Wang Ziteng also said that he is young and promising, why do I look down on such a young man?
,How can I not be a prince-in-law?"
Prince Ning felt disgusted when he heard this. He didn't care about his dignity and said bluntly: "That Jia Yun is really not my little sister's best friend. Please think twice. Besides, that Jia Yun is... isn't this going to make my little sister suffer?"
The Supreme Emperor raised his eyes and glanced at King Ning. He knew what King Ning meant, which was that Jia Yun was an imperialist.
After pondering for a moment, the Supreme Emperor said leisurely: "People's positions will change. The Jia family is just the ministers of the Qian Dynasty. Besides, Xiaoliu is the biological sister of your compatriot. If you recruit the Jia family's boy as Xiaoliu's consort,
, how could I be unfamiliar with you?
If the Fourth Brother has the courage, then why not let a boy from the Jia family take over the capital camp!"
When King Ning heard this, he paused and thought carefully about the words of the Supreme Emperor. After a while, King Ning gritted his teeth and said, "But that Jia Yun's behavior is dissolute and he is definitely not a good person."
Knowing the so-called dissolute behavior, the Supreme Emperor sighed and said: "Xier, those who do great things need to make choices. Xiaoliu is in the royal family and has no control over anything. What's more, how can this harm her or Jia Jia?
It is not necessarily true that everyone will be happy if the boy at home finds his way back.
As for the Jia boy's dissolute behavior, it's just a matter of being young and energetic and romantic, and he will settle down when he gets married in the future."
Although the royal family is rich and powerful, it has nothing to do with politics. How could Prince Ning not know this?
However, after listening to the words of the Supreme Emperor, King Ning's heart moved. Jia Yun is the head of Ningguo's palace and the head of the Jia family. If Jia Yun supports it, it also represents the support of Jia's family. This is a good thing for King Ning...
…
If Emperor Chongming had the courage to urge Jia Yun to take over the leadership of the capital, he could not tell which direction the leadership would take. Even if Jia Yun failed to take over the leadership of the capital, the influence of the patriarch of the Jia family, one clan and two clans, would not be low! ...
...
After some calculations in his mind, Prince Ning frowned and said, "Father, even so, I heard that Jia Yun and the daughter of the Lin family had agreed to get married as early as last year. I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate."
The fact that Jia Yun and Lin Daiyu had agreed to get married did not take the initiative to spread the word, and not many people knew about it. Prince Ning knew about it, so he probably arranged for people to investigate.
The Supreme Emperor looked indifferent and said calmly: "I know this matter. It was the marriage agreed between Lin Ruhai and Lao Ba of the Lin family last year, but it doesn't matter. At that time, the boy of the Jia family was still a side branch. Even though he is now the eldest member, the side branch has not married yet.
, is still in his name. In this case, the daughter of the Lin family will join the side branch, and Xi'er will move into the eldest house. You also know Xi'er's temperament, and she will not care about this matter."
Prince Ning paused when he heard this. It was a rare thing for him to be both a consort and a concubine...but it didn't seem impossible.
And just as the Supreme Emperor said, not only would Zhao Xi not care, but he might also be happy...
While Prince Ning was deep in thought, he suddenly realized why the Supreme Emperor, who lived deep in the Daming Palace, knew more about Jia Yun than he did?
When King Ning saw that Emperor Chongming had no intention of informing him, he was too sensible to ask anything. He was just guessing about something...
The Supreme Emperor raised his eyes and looked at King Ning. He didn't care about King Ning's opinion and said: "Xi'er, I leave this matter to you to decide. If you agree, then tell me that I want to recruit Jia Yun as Princess Leping as my consort."
Spread it out, if you don't agree, then it's up to you and I won't care too much."
If the Supreme Emperor doesn't care, that means letting Jia Yun take over the capital camp, which is not a good thing for Prince Ning. But if not, then he will have to recruit Jia Yun as his consort, which will wrong his little sister...
Prince Ning's expression became complicated, and he pondered for a moment, wondering: "Father, you also know my little sister's temper. I am afraid that if she refuses, there will be a quarrel."
These words have actually shown Prince Ning's attitude. What he is worried about now is Zhao Xi's attitude. After all, Zhao Xi is always messing around in the palace.
The Supreme Emperor said calmly: "Sooner or later, I will get married, but I can still put it off. I can just let her do whatever she wants on weekdays. How can I let her do such a big thing?"
King Ning fell silent upon hearing this, and did not say anything for a while. He bowed respectfully, and King Ning withdrew.
Emperor Chongming raised his eyes and looked at King Ning's leaving figure, his eyes gradually becoming complicated...
