Chapter 65 Convince the Queen Mother
The rumors are huge and no one has refuted them. In Jiankang, whether it is a noble family, a royal family, or a commoner, they already believe that Zhao Yue’s marriage to the princess is a foregone conclusion.
This was a foregone conclusion and naturally it quickly spread to Jiankang Palace.
Xianyang Hall is the residence of the empress, adjacent to the main hall, Taiji Hall, and the front and back structure means that the emperor and empress support each other.
Now that the emperor is young and has no queen, Empress Dowager Yu Wenjun has not moved out of Xianyang Palace.
At this time, her face was gloomy, and she was obviously not in a good mood.
In front of him, a middle-aged man in red was kneeling.
He was wearing a straight red dress, with a golden silk spider pattern tied around his waist, and his black hair was tied with a green gilded crown. His slender body was straight and straight. His whole body was full of beauty and handsomeness and innate nobility, which made people feel unattainable, as low as dust.
If it weren’t for the Secretary Yu Liang, who was it?
"There are rumors that the Zhao family's young man from the Zhao family in Tianshui is going to marry Xingnan. What's going on?"
Yu Wenjun was wearing a light white palace outfit, and her elegant appearance added a bit of dusty temperament. The wide skirt was winding behind her, elegant and luxurious. The black hair like black jade was simply tied with a flying fairy bun, and a few plump and round pearls were randomly embellished between her hair, making the dark cloud-like hair look softer, brighter and more moist.
When it comes to being noble, she is the queen, so she is naturally not much better than Yu Liang who is kneeling in front of her, and she even wins.
Yu Wenjun was excited and his chest was slumped.
"As the rumors say, maybe it can't be called a rumor now. The Empress Dowager must let the county lord get engaged to the Zhao family."
"This matter...why didn't I discuss this matter with me? In your eyes, I, the Queen Mother?"
Yu Wenjun's face was dark.
She can ignore this matter in the court, it is a man's business.
Before her death, Emperor Ming also specifically instructed her not to interfere in the affairs of the court.
But now...
It's no longer a matter of not interfering in the government affairs.
This is a family matter!
This is about my daughter’s life event!
Even if she is not the queen mother, but just a mother, she wants to marry her daughter out, shouldn't we discuss this with her first and ask for her consent?
The parents' orders and matchmaker's words.
You Yu Liang are not Xingnan’s parents!
Yu Wenjun was so angry that he did not take her seriously, and regarded a mother and a queen mother as nothing.
"I will definitely not agree to marry the Zhao family husband!"
Empress Dowager Yu Wenjun directly expressed her attitude.
"Oh~"
Yu Liang sighed and said, "Did the Empress Dowager blame me for not knowing beforehand? Therefore, I hate me?"
"Can't I blame me? I can't be angry?"
The Empress Dowager Yu Wenjun had a frost on her face. She looked at Yu Liang coldly. She was in a bad mood and was directly exposed to her face.
"The Empress Dowager was naturally so angry, but this matter... it was not because I overstepped my authority, nor because I didn't take the Empress Dowager seriously. It was really... it was because they forced to marry Xingnan to the boy Zhao of Tianshui! Otherwise, if I dare not tell the Empress Dowager in advance, this is unreasonable, and the Empress Dowager should know my usual style of conduct."
"This kind of decision is made without saying hello...I, Yu Liang, can't do it."
Yu Liang's words obviously made Yu Wenjun feel much more agitated.
"You said you were forced? Now that the eldest brother is in charge of Taizhou Province, the people of the Wang family of Langya cannot force the eldest brother. Can the Zhao family of Tianshui force the eldest brother?"
Yu Liang snorted coldly and said, "It's nothing more than being forced by the situation."
Yu Liang waved his hand, and the servant behind him immediately unfolded a huge map between the Empress Dowager and Yu Liang.
"If it were not forcing the situation, how could I be wronged in Xing's son? I was wronged in the Queen Mother?"
Yu Liang stood up, and stood on the map and said, "The situation is now a crisis. In the north, Jie Hu is eyeing him and goes south many times. Fortunately, he is defeated. In the south, Su Jun guards Guangling, and has an intention to rebel. Almost all the officials sent by Jiankang have been killed. Although Xi Jian guards Jingkou, although he has no intention to rebel, he is looking at the Wang family of Langya. At the critical moment, he is just a helping arm, but may be a constraint."
He bent down and pointed to the locations of Guangling and Jingkou.
"And in the south, Jiangzhou, there is Wen Gong guarding him, so he can guard against Tao Kan, Jingzhou. However, it is just a defense. If Wen Gong wants to use troops against Jiankang, if Tao Kan has the intention to rebel, the country will definitely be insured!"
Yu Liang pointed to Jiangzhou and Jingzhou below Jiangzhou.
"In the northwest of Jiankang, Liyang refugees were occupied. Although they were directly controlled by the central government on the surface, it is still unknown whether they can be controlled by then. In the north, in Hefei, Zu Yue was occupied. Zu Yue and Su Jun are kind to me, and they are disrespectful to me. If Su Jun rebelled, he would definitely take Zu Yue with him."
Yu Liang sighed deeply, pointed at Jiankang again, and said, "Jiankang's army is only 10,000. Although Stone City is known as a natural barrier, I went there a few days ago and led the troops with our family. If Su Jun really rebelled, Erlang might not be able to defend Stone City."
"This situation...is it really so critical that my elder brother said?"
Yu Liang got up, he sighed deeply at first, then looked at Yu Wenjun, and focused his attention.
"This situation is probably more serious than I thought. Just the day before yesterday and yesterday, another assassin in Jiankang was rampant, killing many imperial officials. These assassinated officials all have a similar characteristic: they are not good to Su Jun, Zu Yue and others, and have impeached them."
Hearing Yu Liang's words, Yu Wenjun was silent.
"If it weren't for this, how could I follow his wishes in Tianshui Zhao's will? But the situation is like this now, alas~"
The frost on Yu Wenjun's face had long since dissipated, but what turned to it was worry.
"I'm afraid that with the help of the Tianshui Zhao family, my eldest brother's authority in Jiankang will not be stable."
After hearing what the Empress Dowager Yu Wenjun said, Yu Liang understood in his heart that the Empress Dowager had been persuaded by him, and he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"The general of the bandit will lead troops. He has more than 10,000 elite soldiers and generals under him. He is a real elite who can fight against Jiehu in the north. He only needs Zhao Xun's help. Not to mention anything else, Su Jun may not even be able to pass the river."
"Brother means... let Zhao Xun station in Liyang?"
"Yes, Liyang is very close to Jiankang and is in the upper reaches of the river. Once Jiankang changes, Zhao Xun will be able to arrive in ten days."
"Why not leave him in Jiankang?"
Wouldn’t this strong soldier be safer to stay in Jiankang?
Yu Liang's eyes flashed and he said, "Don't the Empress Dowager know the story of Dong Zhuo? This kind of intention to harm others, and the intention to guard against others must not be without."
Yu Wenjun nodded slightly.
But after hearing what Yu Liang said, she still felt unsure.
"Then I will tell Xingnan about this. In addition, I will choose an auspicious day to get engaged to the Zhao family husband."
Yu Liang nodded slightly.
"The sooner this engagement, the better!"
Not happy...
