Among the official positions held by Li Huan now, those with real power include the commander of the Jinyiwei and the chief governor of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion. Needless to say, the Jinyiwei must have his own confidants.
Just like the previous assassination of the emperor, if Chen Ke hadn't sent someone to pass the news to him as soon as possible, by the time he got the news, the emperor would have been dead for who knows how long.
Therefore, Li Huan will definitely keep Jin Yiwei in his hands. This is an intelligence and violence agency. If used well, it will be more powerful than any official position.
Even though there are people like Chen Ke, Zhao Yi, and Chen Yao who are used by him in Jinyiwei and have shown enough loyalty to him, Li Huan still plans to insert his close people into Jinyiwei.
For example, my cousin Lin Pingzhi and my second uncle Feng Yongguo.
One of the two is his cousin and the other is his uncle. They can be said to be close relatives. Regardless of their abilities, at least among the Jin Yiwei, there are close relatives that he can trust, so he does not have to worry too much about Jin Yiwei's problems.
What a flaw.
In addition to the Jinyi Guards, they should be the errands of the Admiral Jingying.
The title of "Grand Governor of the Central Military Governor's Office" actually sounds good to me. If there is no specific job, I'm afraid it is no different from the former Commander-in-Chief of the Military Governor's Office of Cheng Guogong. However, Li Huan is responsible for admiral of the capital camp, which is a huge authority.
.
Li Huan planned to take advantage of this opportunity to reorganize the capital camp and insert his third uncle Feng Yongbang into the capital camp. Not to mention more, there would be no problem in controlling some people.
After all, among his uncles, his third uncle Feng Yongbang is considered the most talented in military matters, and his strength is not bad. He has barely reached the level of a second-rate expert, and there is no problem in commanding a battalion.
After taking a look at Feng, Li Huan said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, I am planning to let my second uncle enter the Jinyiwei. He will start from the Jinyiwei Baihu. If he makes meritorious deeds in the future, he will naturally be promoted."
Although the reputation of Jin Yiwei is not very good among the people, the good thing is that Jin Yiwei's power is not small. As long as the emperor supports it, Jin Yiwei's power is almost boundless.
Feng Yongguo rose from the position of a member of the Jinyiwei Bai family. In Feng's opinion, it was not bad. With Li Huan as the commander of the Jinyiwei, his future would be boundless.
Looking at Li Huan, Feng couldn't help but said: "What about your third uncle?"
Li Huan smiled and said: "As for Third Uncle, I am going to let Third Uncle enter the capital camp, first as a commander-in-chief, and later as a general commander and admiral of a battalion of troops."
After hearing the arrangements Li Huan made for her two brothers, Mrs. Feng said with a smile on her face: "My son has thought carefully about it. If your uncle knows about it, he will definitely be very happy."
While speaking, Li Huan suddenly said: "Mother, yesterday I went to the palace to see your majesty. Your majesty is going to make you a first-grade imperial concubine. The imperial edict may be issued in the next few days..."
"What……"
Feng couldn't help but exclaimed when she heard this, with a look of astonishment on her face.
Mrs. Yipingaoming, Mrs. Feng naturally knew what it was, but she had only seen such things in dramas. She just felt that such a reward was too far away from her. She had never even thought about it in her life.
Think about it, Li Xian is just an official of hundreds of households in the guard station, and he can almost see his head at a glance throughout his life. As the wife of an official of hundreds of households in the guard station, no official orders can be related to her.
But what Feng didn't expect was that she was not able to enjoy the blessings brought by her husband, but she never thought that her son would actually earn herself a first-class imperial title.
Mrs. Yipingaoming can be said to be the highest honor that a woman can enjoy in this era.
Even if Mrs. Feng suddenly heard Li Huan's words, she couldn't help but look excited. She looked at Li Huan and said tremblingly: "Huan'er, are you telling the truth? Your Majesty really wants to make her your mother."
For Mrs. Yipingaoming?"
Li Huan nodded and said: "That's natural. You are not joking. Since your majesty has said it, the imperial edict will definitely be issued in the next few days. When the time comes, Mrs. Yipin's dress and rewards will be issued together. Mother will be here when the time comes.
You will know it when you see it.”
Feng's eyes suddenly turned red, and she said with a trembling voice: "Okay, okay, my son is going to be successful, and even my mother will be able to win this honor. If your father is alive in heaven, he will definitely be able to smile."
While he was talking, he heard footsteps coming from outside the hall, and then he saw brothers Feng Yongguo and Feng Yongbang walking over.
When they saw Feng's red eyes, the two brothers Feng Yongguo couldn't help but froze. Feng Yongguo subconsciously said: "Sister, what's wrong with you, who provoked you."
Seeing his uncle's eyes looking towards him, Li Huan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
However, Feng's tears turned into a smile at this moment, and he smiled at his two brothers: "Second brother, third brother, I am so happy that I cry with joy."
Hearing what Feng said, Feng Yongguo and Feng Yongbang came over, sat aside, looked at Feng with some curiosity and said, "Ah, what kind of happy event is this?"
Feng Shi glanced at Li Huan, and Li Huan nodded towards Feng Shi.
Feng Shi immediately smiled and said: "Huan'er just said that His Majesty is going to designate me as the first-grade imperial concubine..."
Feng Yongguo and Feng Yongbang were stunned when they heard this, and then they reacted. They looked at Feng and then at Li Huan. Suddenly Feng Yongguo laughed loudly and said to Li Huan: "Okay, okay, I didn't expect Huan'er.
You can actually earn your mother such a great honor as the First Grade Lady."
Feng Yongbang said with a smile: "When the time comes, this matter will definitely be recorded in the county annals of Changle County, Fuzhou Prefecture, leaving a lasting mark."
Feng Yongguo nodded and said: "Yes, yes, for such a big event, the place must be announced and an archway must be erected."
Seeing her two brothers praising her son, Feng's face was filled with smiles.
At this moment, Feng Shi said with a smile: "Second brother, third brother, just now Huan'er also said that he is going to arrange for the second brother to go to Jinyiwei and become a member of the Jinyiwei Hundred Households. Third brother, you will go to Jingying and be the general manager.
"
Although it was said that Li Huan would arrange positions for the two of them, he did not expect that Li Huan would give them such high official positions right from the start.
Don't underestimate Jinyiwei Baihu and Beijing Camp Commander. For Feng Yongguo and Feng Yongbang, this is already a step to the top.
After the two people reacted, they immediately looked at Li Huan.
Li Huan smiled slightly, nodded towards the two of them and said, "With two uncles helping me keep an eye on the Beijing camp and the Jin Yiwei, I can feel at ease."
The two laughed loudly and said: "Huan'er, don't worry, my uncle will definitely help you keep an eye on the Jin Yiwei and the Beijing camp."
Here Cheng Guogong Zhu Fu followed Gao Feng into the Forbidden City and rushed to the Qianqing Palace.
On the way here, Zhu Fu once again asked Gao Feng about the specific situation, but Gao Feng did not go into details. Of course, just what he told him was enough.
Zhu Fu had already realized that Zhang Lun came to the palace to ask for an audience with the emperor in order to ask the emperor to grant a marriage to Zhang Jin and Li Huan.
If it were the past, that would be fine, but he had already met the emperor yesterday, and even asked the emperor to grant a marriage to his daughter. After he returned, he deliberately leaked the news through drunkenness. Now in front of the nobles, Everyone knows that China is already causing trouble.
If something unexpected happens, the daughter of the British Duke marries Li Huan, but the daughter of the Chengguo Duke does not marry Li Huan. I don’t know how many people will be behind their backs to oppose them. The government is pointing fingers.
No, Zhang Lun must not be allowed to succeed. Even if he goes out of his way to show off his old face, he will still ask the emperor to grant him a marriage. Otherwise, how will he be able to gain a foothold among the nobles in the Duke's office?
Zhu Fu, who had secretly made up his mind, showed a certain look of determination in his eyes.
Walking into the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Fu saw Zhang Lun at a glance, and Zhang Lun also looked at Zhu Fu as soon as he heard the movement.
Almost instantly, Zhu Fu and Zhang Lun's eyes met. They immediately made eye contact, and there was anger in their eyes.
What made Zhang Lun angry was that Zhu Fu knew that his British father-in-law planned to marry Li Huan, but he dared to ask the emperor for marriage first.
What made Zhu Fu angry was that Zhang Lun dared to enter the palace again even after he had already spoken to the emperor. This would put them in the position of becoming the Duke of Guo.
The two looked at each other, full of anger.
Zhu Fu took a step forward and bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said: "I have met your Majesty. Your Majesty has summoned me. Are you planning to marry your daughter to Li Huan?"
Zhang Lun heard this from the side and couldn't help but jump up, pointed at Zhu Fu and said: "Gong Cheng, you are so old. How shameless is your government?"
Zhu Fu didn't show any weakness when he heard this. It would be fine if Zhang Mao was defeated, but Zhang Lun really couldn't suppress Zhu Fu.
Zhu Fu glanced at Zhang Lun and said, "Zhang Lun, in front of your Majesty, it's not your turn to scold me. I'm talking to your Majesty."
Zhang Lun's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He first bowed to Zhu Houzhao to apologize, and at the same time stared at Zhu Fu fiercely.
Zhu Houzhao saw the reaction of the two people's expressions in his eyes, and couldn't help but smile a little. To be honest, it was really rare for two princes to quarrel because they were vying to marry their daughters. Zhu Houzhao was looking after Everyone has an urge to watch the excitement.
But soon the smile on Zhu Houzhao's lips subsided. Others could watch the jokes of the two great princes, but as the emperor, he naturally couldn't sit there and watch the jokes. Besides, he deliberately created this kind of sobriety. .
If there really was a stalemate between the British government and the Chengguo government, that would be what he did not want to see.
With a slight cough, Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhang Lun and Zhu Fu and said, "Okay, you are all dignified princes, why do you all look like those little gangsters on the street?"
Duke Ying and Duke Cheng, who had just been glaring at each other like cockfighting cocks just now, heard Zhu Houzhao's words, snorted coldly at each other, and then sat down.
Zhu Houzhao looked at the two of them and slowly said: "Mr. Cheng Guo, I have called you here precisely for the purpose of granting marriage to your daughter."
Zhu Fu immediately said: "Your Majesty, you promised my old minister yesterday. You are the emperor, and you can never go back on your words."
Zhu Houzhao coughed dryly, looked at Zhang Lun, then shook his head towards Zhu Fu and said: "I have no intention of going back on my word, but you also know that it was the old Duke Zhang Mao who wanted to match Li Huan with the daughter of the British Duke.
Befriend Qin and Jin..."
Zhu Fu said awkwardly: "But Zhang Mao didn't ask your majesty for marriage. It was your majesty who asked me for marriage first, and your majesty also agreed to my offer."
Zhang Lun on the side couldn't help but pointed at Zhu Fu and said: "Mr. Cheng Guo, are you feeling unkind when you say this? You clearly know that grandpa's last wish is to ask your majesty to marry Aunt Jin and Li Huan. But what about you? You actually took advantage of me.
While the government is dealing with my grandfather’s funeral, I would like to ask your majesty for a marriage. You..."
Zhu Fu was a little embarrassed to be told that, and he immediately said to Zhang Lun: "So what? Who stipulates that if the British government likes Li Huan, a son-in-law who rides on a dragon, no one else can compete."
As he spoke, Zhu Fu looked at Zhu Houzhao and said: "Anyway, your majesty has promised me a marriage. If your majesty does not agree, I will not leave today."
Seeing Zhu Fu playing rogue here, Zhang Lun was very angry.
Zhu Houzhao put down the tea cup in his hand, looked at Zhang Lun and Zhu Fu and said: "Mr. Cheng, I just thought about it. Since both of you are interested in Li Huan and Li Qing's family, I consider it better to imitate the empress E's daughter Ying."
, I will marry the daughters of your two families to Li Huan. I wonder what your wishes are, Duke Chengguo?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Fu said almost reflexively: "This move is too ridiculous, and I won't agree to it."
When Zhang Lun heard this, a smile appeared on his face. Before Zhu Fu could react, he said directly: "Your Majesty, I have no objection. Everything will be arranged by your Majesty."
"What!"
Zhu Fu suddenly looked up at Zhang Lun, and Zhang Lun was staring at him with a somewhat triumphant smile on his face. Zhu Fu was not stupid, and he immediately understood what was going on.
.
"Ah, Zhang Lun, you...why are you so thick-skinned?"
Zhang Lun curled his lips, ignored Zhu Fu at all, and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, Duke Cheng Guo just said that he did not agree. In this case, your Majesty will grant the marriage to my Aunt Jin. Anyway, I am the British Duke.
I have absolutely no objection to His Majesty’s arrangements.”
Zhu Fu looked at Zhang Lun and suddenly said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, I have just temporarily ignored my duty. Your Majesty has expressed your kindness, so naturally I have no objections."
Zhang Lun couldn't help but said to Zhu Fu: "Dong Chengguo, you..."
Zhu Fu smiled at Zhang Lun and said: "Zhang Lun, the British government wants to monopolize this benefit, but I won't agree. A hero like Li Huan is unparalleled in the world. Even if two women work together with one husband, it will not be considered as an insult to my family Lin'er."
.”
Zhang Lun wanted to punch Zhu Fu's old face and hit him hard several times. He thought that Zhu Fu would not agree to the proposal of two women working together as one husband, but he never thought that Zhu Fu could really do this.
determination.
On the other hand, Zhu Houzhao was watching Zhu Fu and Zhang Lun fighting there, the smile in his eyes was even bigger, and he secretly muttered in his heart: "Li Qing, Li Qing, I have been worried about your marriage.
All the most outstanding women have fallen into your Li family, you must thank me properly this time."
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao coughed slightly, looked at Zhu Fu and said, "Mr. Cheng Guo, are you sure you can accept two women working together as one husband?"
First, Zhu Fu glanced at Zhang Lun, who was standing aside. He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I have no objections."
Zhu Houzhao also looked at Zhang Lun and said, "Mr. British, how about you?"
Zhang Lun, who also gave Zhu Fu a vicious look, respectfully replied to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, I have no objection."
Zhu Houzhao stood up suddenly, looked at the two of them and said: "Okay, since the two Qing families have no objections, I will immediately order someone to pass on the decree to grant marriage to Zhang Jin, the Duke of England, and Zhu Lin, the Duke of Chengguo!"
Zhang Lun and Zhu Fu both bowed to the emperor and said, "I thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Houzhao also said to Qiu Ju who was waiting at the side: "Qiu Daban, prepare pen and ink, I will personally write the imperial edict of marriage."
Qiu Ju on the side quickly stepped forward, took some silk, spread it out, and grinded ink for the emperor.
Soon, Zhu Houzhao's pen moved quickly, and he wrote down a marriage decree in one go. Then he looked at it with satisfaction, took out the emperor's seal and stamped it on the imperial decree.
Zhu Houzhao had a slight smile on his lips, glanced at Zhang Lun and Zhu Fu and said: "The decree has been accomplished. I will immediately order someone to copy it and then go to the British Duke's Palace, Chengguo Duke's Palace and Li Qing's Palace to read out the imperial edict."
.”
With Zhu Houzhao making his decision, it can be said that the situation has been decided. Unless there is a huge change, otherwise, the marriage is a certainty and no one can change it.
At this time, Zhu Fu and Zhang Lun no longer had their previous tit-for-tat confrontation. They looked at each other, and both bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "I thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Houzhao motioned for the two of them to sit down and said: "Two princes, if nothing happens, your two families and Li Qing will be the best friends of Qin and Jin Dynasty in the future. The reason why I gave up the daughter of the clan and not selected it is to fulfill your wishes."
, do you understand my intention in promising your family’s daughter to Li Qing?”
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Fu immediately said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty's good intentions are known to me. Don't worry, your Majesty, I will definitely do my best to help Li Huan and reorganize the capital camp. Don't worry."
There are changes in the capital."
At this time, Zhang Lun also said: "The British government will fully support Li Huan in rectifying the capital camp."
Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "I can feel at ease with these two princes."
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao stretched his body and said, "Okay, if the two princes have nothing else to do, please go back first."
Zhu Fu and Zhang Lun stood up, bowed to the emperor, and then left the Qianqing Palace.
Walking out of Qianqing Palace, Zhu Fu and Zhang Lun couldn't help but look at each other. Zhang Lun said sarcastically: "Congratulations, Duke Cheng Guo!"
Zhu Fu didn't seem to hear the ridicule in Zhang Lun's words. He cupped his hands with a smile on his face and said: "Same joy, same joy!"
After leaving the palace, Zhang Lun watched Zhu Fu's carriage go away. He stared at the palace gate with his hands behind his back, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. He made the decision directly without consulting his little aunt.
If it was just a marriage granted by the emperor, Zhang Lun wouldn't have anything to worry about. But the key now is that two women work together with one husband. He really can't guarantee how Zhang Jin will react when he learns the news.
So at this moment, Zhang Lun really felt a little unsure.
Soon Zhang Lun saw Su and Zhang Jin walking in under the guidance of two young chamberlains.
When she saw Zhang Lun, Su's eyes lit up and he cast a questioning look, while Zhang Lun nodded slightly towards Su.
This time when Zhang Jin was about to ride in a carriage by himself, Zhang Lun suddenly said: "Little aunt, my nephew has something to tell you, so you can ride in the same carriage with us."
Zhang Jin glanced at Zhang Lun and nodded slightly. Although he was a little cooler, Zhang Jin still cared about Zhang Lun, his nephew who always doted on her.
The three of them walked into the carriage, and soon the carriage started slowly.
There was silence in the carriage. After a while, Zhang Lun coughed slightly, breaking the calm. He looked at Zhang Jin and said, "Little aunt, I am bringing you into the palace to pay respect to the Queen. Do you know my nephew's intention?"
Zhang Jin sighed softly and said slowly: "Wan'er has already told me!"
Zhang Lun immediately glanced at his wife, Su Wan, Zhang Jin’s mother, and the wife of the old Duke Zhang Mao. She died of illness within a few years of giving birth to Zhang Jin, so the huge British
In the palace, the only person who is qualified to talk to Zhang Jin about this matter is Su Wan, who is now the British princess's wife.
Zhang Lun coughed slightly and looked at Zhang Jin and said, "What do you think, little aunt?"
Zhang Jin glanced at Zhang Lun and said, "I hope I marry Li Huan. This is my father's last wish, right?"
Zhang Lun nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, this is indeed grandpa's last wish. My nephew can testify to this, and even your majesty can testify. Grandpa said that his only regret is that he cannot see you marry Li Huan."
Although Zhang Lun changed his words, the meaning remained the same. Zhang Mao did mention that he wanted to bring Zhang Jin and Li Huan together, but he did not say that he regretted not being able to see the two get married.
However, Zhang Lun did not cheat Zhang Jin. After all, Zhang Mao’s original intention was to hope that the two could get married.
Sighing softly, Zhang Jin said slowly: "Although I have the heart to follow the Tao, my master said that my Tao is not in the mountains and forests but in the mortal world. As the daughter of the British Duke, I should do my best for the British Duke."
, since this is my father’s last wish, then I have no objection.”
After listening to Zhang Jin's words, Zhang Lun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that his little aunt would not agree. If that was the case, he really didn't know how to explain it to the emperor.
Of course, based on Zhang Lun's understanding of Zhang Jin, it is impossible for Zhang Jin to go against Zhang Mao's wishes on such a major matter. Otherwise, he would not dare to see the emperor.
At this moment, Su Wan also looked at Zhang Lun with a smile on her face and said, "Husband, have you already met with His Majesty and asked His Majesty to grant a marriage between Aunt Jin and Li Huan?"
As soon as these words came out, even Zhang Jin couldn't help but look at Zhang Lun.
No matter how indifferent she is, she is not a heartless person after all. It concerns her own life, so how could Zhang Jin not care.
Zhang Lun nodded slowly and said: "Your Majesty has agreed, and someone will soon go to the palace to deliver the decree on the marriage."
Su Wan couldn't help but feel relieved, but she found that something was wrong with Zhang Lun's expression, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Not only Su Wan noticed, but Zhang Jin also noticed that something was wrong with Zhang Lun's expression.
Under the gaze of the two women, Zhang Lun suddenly looked at Zhang Jin nervously, hesitated for a while and then said: "There is one more thing that I must tell my little aunt."
I don't know why, but looking at Zhang Lun's expression, Zhang Jin felt a bad premonition in his heart.
However, he nodded slowly and said, "If you have anything, just say it."
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Lun, under the gazes of Zhang Jin and Su Wan, slowly said: "I originally planned to mention this matter to Your Majesty some time later, but I never thought that Duke Cheng would
The old man was so shameless that he took the lead and asked Your Majesty to grant a marriage to Zhu Lin of his family."
Zhang Jin raised his brows. Among the nobles, the children of each family were naturally mixed, some were nothing but good and poor, but there were also some who were extremely outstanding.
I won’t mention the man, but as the daughter of a noble family, Zhang Jin is definitely outstanding, but this does not mean that she can really dominate Beijing. No one can compare with her.
There was a strange woman who was unparalleled in talent and learning. If she were a man, she would have been a Jinshi. Her temperament was as gentle as the orchid in the empty valley.
The two daughters Zhu Lin and Zhang Jin can be said to be a couple among the nobles, and they are famous in Beijing.
Although Zhang Jin and Zhu Lin don't have much contact with each other, they are not strangers to each other. They still admire each other very much.
Now Zhang Jin couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard Zhang Lun mention Zhu Lin, while Su Wan opened her eyes wide with a look of disbelief on her face. She looked at Zhang Lun and said in a trembling voice: "Husband, don't you
I guess you want to say that His Majesty also granted a marriage to Li Huan, Zhu Lin, who belongs to the Chengguo family."
Zhang Lun nodded awkwardly, not even daring to see Zhang Jin's reaction.
Zhang Jin's expression changed, his breathing became a little faster, and his face showed a bit of shame and annoyance.
Su Wan looked at Zhang Jin with great worry, and reached out to hold Zhang Jin's hand to comfort Zhang Jin.
After a while, Zhang Jin seemed to have calmed down. He looked at Zhang Lun and said, "Your Majesty offers you a marriage. Do you agree?"
Zhang Lun lowered his head and said slowly: "Little aunt, you are no worse than Zhu Lin. Zhu Fu is really too irritating. Little aunt, you haven't seen Zhu Fu. If possible, I wanted to beat him severely at that time."
He punched twice."
As he spoke, Zhang Lun plucked up the courage to look at Zhang Jin and said, "If the Duke of Chengguo can agree, why can't we, the British Duke, agree? Is it possible that, little aunt, you are worse than Zhu Lin? Besides, if we give up, it will be spread in the future.
When I go out, others will say behind my back that you, my little aunt, are no better than Zhu Lin. In the end, Li Huan chose Zhu Lin and gave up on you, my little aunt."
Zhang Lun was obviously being petty and deliberately provoked Zhang Jin.
Su Wan saw clearly and rolled her eyes at Zhang Lun. Zhang Jin was so smart that he could obviously see Zhang Lun's little thoughts. As his eldest nephew, he was playing tricks in front of her.
, what can she do.
Besides, what Zhang Lun said is not unreasonable.
She and Zhu Lin had been praised and compared since childhood, and they had always been on a par with each other. Even if Zhang Jin didn't care about this important matter of marriage, she knew in her heart that they would marry separately in the future.
The husband you marry will definitely be compared to you.
For example, if Zhang Lun does not agree to the marriage grant this time, the emperor will definitely choose to grant marriage to Zhu Lin and Li Huan. When the time comes, Zhang Jin himself will be able to think of it. If no one else mentions it, there will be uproar among the nobles.
.
Zhang Lun secretly watched the change in Zhang Jin's expression. Zhang Jin did not get angry on the spot, and Zhang Lun was secretly relieved.
He knew quite a bit about his little aunt's temperament. She was actually cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Zhang Jin just didn't talk about many things, but it didn't mean that she wouldn't consider others. It was just that she was used to being cold and cold on many things.
They didn't even bother to speak.
"Little aunt, if you really don't agree, we will go back right now. At worst, I will go and beg Your Majesty. Anyway, the decree has not yet come down, so it is still too late to regret at this time."
Hearing this, Zhang Jin glanced at Zhang Lun lightly and said: "The emperor's golden words can't be changed if he wants to. Even if he spares the shadow of my British Duke, he will definitely hate the emperor. Isn't it just marrying Zhu Lin?"
Well, why not?"
"What, little aunt, did you agree?"
Zhang Lun was stunned and looked at Zhang Jin. Although he was very confident when he and Zhu Fu faced the emperor, he was not Zhang Mao. If Zhang Jin didn't agree, he really couldn't do anything to Zhang Jin.
Now that Zhang Jin agreed, even Zhang Lun himself breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Jin rarely showed a smile on his face and said: "My father is gone. As a daughter, I can't be unable to fulfill my father's last wish."
Zhang Lun sighed softly when he heard this and said, "Little aunt, I have wronged you for the sake of the British government."
Zhang Jin shook his head and said: "Why are you talking about grievances? Didn't you also say it? There will never be another hero like Li Huan in the world. In this case, with such a good match, even if you marry him, you will have a good life."
Why not."
Zhu Fu went all the way back to the Duke Cheng's Mansion. As soon as he returned, he saw Zhu Lin coming up to him with a worried look on his face and said, "Father, how are you? What did your Majesty say?"
Zhu Fu glanced at Zhu Lin and sighed softly: "Your Majesty agreed."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Lin was overjoyed and said, "It's good if your Majesty agrees."
Immediately reacting, Zhu Lin said doubtfully: "But judging from the look on my father's face, I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Zhu Fu nodded slightly and said: "That boy Zhang Lun actually begged your Majesty, so that your Majesty finally issued a decree to marry the daughters of both families to Li Huan."
"What!"
Zhu Lin immediately exclaimed, with a look of astonishment on his face, but after the exclamation, Zhu Lin gradually calmed down, nodded slowly and said: "It seems that this is the only way to solve this matter perfectly, otherwise
If so, even His Majesty would not be able to handle this matter."
Zhu Fu nodded and said, "That's what I say, but as a father, I don't know how to talk to your sister about this matter."
Zhu Lin gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, father. Just go and talk to Sister Lin about the child."
In a quiet courtyard, a faint fragrance filled the air. Under a big tree, a woman wearing a goose-yellow palace dress was sitting on an armchair, leaning there lazily.
, holding a book in his green-white jade hands, sitting there quietly reading it, looking extremely elegant and quiet.
When Zhu Lin saw this scene, he couldn't help but pause in his steps. This was his biological sister from the same mother. Thinking of what he was going to say to Zhu Lin next, Zhu Lin hesitated a little.
However, after thinking about it, Zhu Lin walked into the quiet courtyard, walked slowly closer, sat opposite Zhu Lin, and poured himself a cup of tea.
At this moment, Zhu Lin closed the book in her hand, raised her head and glanced at Zhu Lin, smiled slightly and said: "Brother, why do you have time to come to my sister's place to drink tea?"
Zhu Lin chuckled and said, "Why, aren't you welcome?"
Zhu Lin's beautiful eyes gave Zhu Lin a faint look, one hand was holding the sleeve, and the other hand was holding the teapot to help Zhu Lin pour the tea, and then said: "Brother has always been in the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so I think I came here.
Is there something wrong?"
Zhu Lin nodded and said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
After saying this, Zhu Lin thought for a moment and said, "Father, I begged your Majesty, and your Majesty has promised to marry you to Li Huan."
Zhu Lin's expression did not change when she heard this, she nodded slowly and said: "My parents ordered me to be a matchmaker. Since your Majesty granted me the marriage, it must be a good marriage."
Zhu Lin looked at Zhu Lin and said: "The person who married Li Huan with you is Zhang Jin from the British government!"
At this time, Zhu Lin, who was originally looking dignified, couldn't help but be stunned. She looked at Zhu Lin in surprise and said, "What did you say?"
It was obvious that Zhu Lin had been psychologically prepared for the marriage, but when she heard Zhu Lin's words, she still couldn't help but be shocked.
Zhu Lin said slowly: "Your Majesty means that since both families intend to marry Li Huan, in order not to ruin the harmony between the two families, you and Zhang Jin will follow the example of Empress E and become one husband."
Zhu Lin's chest rose and fell violently, and her full breasts clearly showed her inner unrest at the moment. After a while, she looked at Zhu Lin and said, "Did she agree?"
Zhu Lin naturally knew why his sister was asking.
Zhu Lin nodded slowly and said: "I didn't hear that the British government objected. I think Zhang Jin agreed to it."
As he spoke, Zhu Lin looked at his sister and said, "Sister Lin, if you don't agree..."
Zhu Lin's pretty face suddenly burst into a moving smile and said, "Why don't you agree? It would be quite interesting to think about working with Zhang Jin as a husband!"
"Forehead!"
Zhu Lin couldn't help but be a little confused when he saw his girl's reaction. He hadn't even spoken yet, but Zhu Lin had no objection.
Seeing Zhu Lin's puzzled look, Zhu Lin chuckled and said, "Brother, go tell your father and say that I don't have any objections."
When Zhu Lin left the quiet and elegant courtyard, he didn't even understand what his sister was thinking. You must know that his sister is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Although she is weak and dignified, as elegant as an orchid, she is extremely strong on the inside.
, but if she doesn’t want to, no one can force her.
The emperor's speed here was not slow. Not long after Duke Yingying and Duke Chengguo returned to their mansions, the messengers sent by Zhu Houzhao had already arrived at Duke Ying's Palace, Duke Chengguo's Palace, and Li's Palace respectively.
Maoyan Lane, Li Mansion
Li Huan arranged something in the Yamen today and went to the mansion to talk with Feng, Feng Yongguo and Feng Yongbang.
While he was talking, he saw Cao Yu walking over in a hurry.
After bowing to several people, Cao Yu said to Li Huan: "Sir, Eunuch Qiu is here!"
Li Huan was slightly stunned and said in surprise: "Why is Qiu Ju here at this time?"
Because they had experienced this before, Feng, Feng Yongguo, and Feng Yongbang were not too surprised. Feng even said to Li Huan: "Huan'er, it's not His Majesty who has recruited you into the palace again."
While he was talking, Li Huan stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
However, when Li Huan walked out of the living room, he saw Qiu Ju's figure already appearing in the courtyard, and striding over with a smile on his face, surrounded by several servants.
When he saw Li Huan from a distance, Qiu Ju couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother Li, I'm so happy, so happy!"
Li Huan looked at the imperial edict held in the hands of the young chamberlain who was following Qiu Ju. His heart moved, and he vaguely guessed what Qiu Ju said about the great joy.
Li Huan immediately smiled and nodded at Mrs. Feng and said, "Mother, maybe your majesty has given you the reward."
Even though Feng was mentally prepared, she couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this. Looking at Qiu Ju and others walking over, she felt inexplicably nervous.
As he approached, Li Huan said to Qiu Ju: "Brother Qiu, I wonder where this joy comes from?"
Qiu Ju laughed loudly and said, "Brother Li, you are asking questions knowingly."
As he spoke, Qiu Ju took an imperial edict from a young chamberlain, glanced at Li Huan, Feng Shi and others, and said seriously: "Li Feng Shi accepts the edict!"
Immediately Li Huan, Feng Shi, Feng Yongguo, Feng Yongbang and others all bowed down.
Qiu Ju unfolded the imperial edict and said in a sharp voice: "The emperor is entrusted by heaven. The edict says: The mother of Li Huan, the governor of the Central Military Governor's Mansion, is Feng. Shushen is born, Yonghe is pure, Shude contains seals, and she is canonized as a first-class imperial edict.
Madam, I admire this!"
Mrs. Feng stayed there as she listened, as if she was in a dream. She, a little woman, could one day become a dignified wife.
Qiu Ju glanced at Feng, coughed slightly and said, "Feng takes the order!"
Li Huan gently pushed Feng and whispered: "Mother, take the order!"
Mrs. Feng came to her senses, took the imperial edict with trembling hands, and then thanked the emperor again for his kindness.
After receiving the imperial edict, Li Huan and others wanted to get up. However, at this time, Qiu Ju smiled and said: "Brother Li, wait a moment, Your Majesty has another edict here!"
Li Huan couldn't help but be startled when he heard this. When he looked up, as expected, Qiu Ju had already taken another imperial edict from the hands of the young eunuch.
Feng Shi, Feng Yongguo, and Feng Yongbang couldn't help but look a little doubtful, secretly guessing in their hearts, could this imperial edict be a reward for Li Huan?
Qiu Ju naturally saw the reactions of several people in his eyes. When his eyes fell on Li Huan, he said with a slight smile on his lips: "Li Huan accepts the order!"
Li Huan's expression immediately became serious.
Immediately, Qiu Ju's voice came to his ears: "The emperor is destined to be blessed by heaven, and the edict is: I follow the empress dowager's kind instructions, and now there are the British princess Zhang Jin and the Chengguo princess Zhu Lin.
Lun Qi was a good-natured man, careful and conscientious. He was adept at etiquette, respected the festival of early morning, and was diligent in his diligence. The Queen Mother was very pleased to hear this, and specially proposed to marry Li Huan, the governor of the Central Military Governor's Mansion.
You have chosen an auspicious day to get married. I appreciate this."
Qiu Ju finished reading out the contents of the imperial edict, with a smile on his face and glanced at everyone. Li Huan was not too surprised when he heard the imperial edict granting marriage because the emperor had heard it mentioned by him before. However, Feng Ju
After hearing the contents of the imperial edict, Feng Yongguo, Feng Yongbang and others were completely stunned.
