Chapter 493; Getting married again

Not long after, King Jin came in from outside.

He was wearing a black fox cloak, with some snowflakes falling on his shoulders.

Seeing this, Lu Yaoyao frowned slightly and stood up and said, "It's starting to snow again outside? Don't you know how to wait for the snow to stop in this cold weather?"

As she spoke, she reached out to brush the falling snow off Prince Jin's shoulders, then took the cloak and handed it to Qiu Yu beside her.

"I haven't seen you for so many days, and I heard that you attended the flower viewing party held by the Queen today, so I wanted to come over and ask about the situation."

King Jin smiled, walked to the edge and sat down.

"How about it? The queen chosen today should be a girl from the Han family, right?"

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao shook his head and said, "Yes and no."

"Oh? What should I say?"

Lu Yaoyao quickly recounted what she had seen and heard today, and also expressed her guesses.

After hearing this, Prince Jin's face became a little solemn.

"This is not a good sign."

"It seems that this is what Duke Zhen Guo meant."

If it was just the Han family, he wouldn't take it to heart. After all, the Han family was already a grasshopper after the fall, and they were also close to Duke Zhen Guo and Prince Ning.

As the relationship continued to deepen, he and Emperor Hongwen didn't pay much attention to it, but now Lu Yaoyao said that the queen actually intended to designate Wu You of the Wu family as the principal concubine, so something was wrong with it.

Although the iron ore in the hands of the Wu family cannot be compared with the current imperial court, it is also very dangerous.

Especially under the current circumstances, Zhen Guogong has the support of the Han family, and is no longer in short supply in terms of money.

If there is no shortage of iron, I'm afraid they will become very passive if they want to continue targeting Duke Zhen in the future.

If he doesn't do it right, the Duke of Zhen will find an opportunity to counterattack crazily. Once that happens, the situation in Dongzhou will be very difficult.

"No, I have to go and talk to the emperor about this matter."

With that said, he stood up and was about to walk out, but was stopped by Lu Yaoyao.

"What are you anxious about?"

"Even if I tell you now, what will happen?"

Hearing this, King Jin was stunned and said, "Of course I have to stop it. Otherwise, why would we let them be bound together?"

"Can you stop it? If you think about it carefully, since Lord Zhen Guo did this and knew that you would stop him, but he still did it, doesn't he have some back-ups?"

King Jin was silent.

Indeed, if the Duke of Zhenguo can do this, there must be something wrong.

"He has been silent since he came back last time, and his attitude has been revealed. Now that Prince Ning is choosing a concubine, if you stop him, he may make a move."

"At that time, he only needs to operate a little bit, and you will be very passive. If he takes this opportunity to attack, can you withstand it?"

"Now that his thoughts have been completely exposed, we must not give him a chance."

King Jin nodded repeatedly, of course he knew this very well.

I just didn’t expect the Zhenguo Guild to do this at all.

"Is this how he can succeed?"

"So what if he succeeds? He is not united. The more he helps King Ning like this, the sharper King Ning's minions will be. What do you think of the Zhenguo Guild then?"

Upon being reminded by her, King Jin's frown immediately relaxed. Now there was already some rift between King Ning and Duke Zhen.

Especially Queen Wang, who had a lot of dissatisfaction with the Duke of Zhen.

"Things are already like this. What we need to do now is to bring Prince Ning to your side. After all, the emperor is his father, do you understand?"

"That's all we can do. I still have to go see the emperor."

This time, Lu Yaoyao did not stop him.

"What Yao Yao said makes sense. We have already been passive in this matter."

After hearing the news from King Jin, Emperor Hongwen showed no surprise on his face, which surprised King Jin.

"Did the Emperor already know that they would be like this?"

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen glanced at King Jin and said with a smile, "That's right."

"In that case, why not stop it?"

"Why stop it?"

Emperor Hongwen asked with a slight smile, and then told him his plan.

"I see, but it will be very dangerous if you do this."

"There are dangers, but if you succeed, the rewards will not be small. Dongzhou is not the only one who is eyeing it."

There are many internal problems in Dongzhou, and the aristocratic family is the biggest problem among them.

The Dong family was very understanding, and the Luo family also followed. Emperor Hongwen was very satisfied with their reaction, but he didn't plan to target them too much.

Moreover, the main thing about the Dong family is that there are many scholars. Now that he has mastered papermaking and printing, the influence of the Dong family is not too much of a threat to him.

Even if they lose their sense of humor in the future, there is no problem if you want to get rid of them.

However, the Dong family should be very knowledgeable. In this case, the Dong family is very likely to become the humerus of Dongzhou.

As for being left behind, he is just a grain merchant. Although his business is large, why can't he maintain it and become Dongzhou's grain depot?

The situations of the Han family and the Wu family are different. One controls the salt industry and the other controls the iron industry. Both are things that the country should strictly control.

The Han family must be destroyed. Although the Wu family followed the Dong family and gained some understanding, if they cannot be more clear-headed about this incident, they will become delusional.

Then we can take advantage of this opportunity to clean it up.

Zhenguo Gong had grand plans, so why didn't Emperor Hongwen do the same and wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop?

It just depends on who succeeds in the end. The risk is high, but the reward is not small.

"What are the emperor's next plans?"

"Don't be in a hurry. Some things have to be done slowly. It's not good to be too hasty. King Jin only needs to train those soldiers well. I will inform you when needed."

Hearing this, King Jin thought for a moment, nodded, and said no more.

"Since the emperor already has an idea, I will not ask any more questions."

Not long after, King Jin left the palace.

In the next few days, he did not go to Chengyuan Villa. It was not until the palace sent a message that a banquet was going to be held and Lu Yaoyao was invited to attend. Only then did King Jin show up.

"The envoy from Xirong is here."

"Well, I heard about it before. Do you know the purpose of coming?"

King Jin nodded and said with a smile, "It is better to make a marriage. The current situation in Xirong is not optimistic. If you want to win allies, Northern Chu and Southern Xinjiang have just plundered them, so it is naturally impossible to choose."

"Again marriage?"

Lu Yaoyao frowned. She was quite disgusted with things like marriage.

Since ancient times, few married women have ended well.

To say that he was seeking peace would be better to say that he was simply sending those women to die.

"Yes, but the situation this time is different from last time. This time there is a princess coming from Xirong. It is said that she wants to marry the princess."

"This attitude is completely different from last time."

Lu Yaoyao sneered, she looked down upon Xirong.
