The emperor had lived in the palace for a long time, and he also knew some folk rumors. The three most arrogant ladies in the capital at that time were Wen Yuwan, Han Mo, and Jiang Yushu.
Han Mo had been sent to the border with the Han family and disappeared, and Wen Yuwan had no one to rely on after the death of her mother, the eldest princess. Fortunately, this girl had an honest heart, and in the end she and Cheng Fenglou were in love and harmony, and Luan Feng
Harmony.
Only Jiang Yushu, because the Jiang family is prosperous, still looks like that.
It's not that there are no boys in the Jiang family. Jiang Yan has three sons alone, but none of these three are very outstanding. This may also be the reason why Jiang Yan is a daughter slave.
But with the current status of the Jiang family... the emperor certainly did not want his relatives to have exclusive power, but there was no second Cheng Fenglou in the court.
Qin Zhuo, who is now in charge of the imperial army, is pretty good, but he has long been engaged to Yan Sijing, the eldest daughter of Yan Geng, the Minister of Civil Affairs, so it is not easy for him to directly intervene.
"It's a pity that there are currently no sons of the right age in the court... The only one who is above the third rank and has not yet married is General Feng Cheng..." The emperor rubbed his forehead, rarely put down his writing brush, and smiled.
He looked at Jiang Yan.
The corner of Jiang Yan's mouth twitched secretly, Feng Cheng celebrated the 36th of the New Year this year... He is also tall and thick, how can he be worthy of his daughter?
Wouldn't Your Majesty... take a longer-term view?
The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Yan's unpredictable expression, "I can't do anything else... After all, you also know... After the New Year, the guest country will pay tribute and intends to send their Princess Xin'er to marry...
…”
Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he retreated in a daze.
Waiting until Jiang Yan's figure disappeared at the door, the emperor took a sip of tea from the tea cup and looked at the door with a deep look in his eyes.
Jiang Yan can be considered an old man. When he was young, his family background was not prominent, but he was loyal and sincere. The emperor always relied on him... But now, more than ten years later, the Jiang family has become the most prominent family in the court.
Prominent family.
At the same time, Wang Shujun and Wen Changjin have both retired and returned to their hometowns. Wen Changjin is now focused on the name of Duke Wen. In fact, he doesn't pay attention to the affairs of the court at all. Even in the capital tabloids, he often can
Entries such as "Wen Guo Gong went to Siyue Dance House again" and "Wen Guo Gong lost a bet with someone in the teahouse"... He is simply a cynical old naughty boy.
However, Jiang Yan is still giving advice in the court under the title of Grand Tutor, Duke Wen, and Kaifu Yitong.
Although Jiang Yan's three sons, Jiang Wu, Jiang Hua, and Jiang Rong... were not very outstanding, the emperor also gave them corresponding third- and fourth-grade official positions.
As far as this is concerned, as long as the Jiang family is honest and as long as Jiang Yan is still there, there will be no problem in maintaining their prosperity for at least thirty years.
It's not because of anything else, just because Jiang Yan knows how to advance and retreat, and this is the character that Emperor Rongcheng likes the most.
The opinions he put forward and the decisions he made never put Emperor Rongcheng in trouble.
Today's marriage is the first time.
Emperor Rongcheng twirled his beard, his expression changing unpredictably.
Is Jiang Yan's temptation intentional, or is he really just worried about his daughter?
"Your Majesty, the tea is cold. I'll help you get a cup of tea!" Jin Feng quietly came to the other party and said softly.
Emperor Rongcheng nodded.
When Jin Feng served him another cup of hot tea, Emperor Rongcheng finally spoke.
"Jin Feng, go find King Wen and ask him to come to the imperial study!"
Jin Feng was stunned and did not dare to delay, so he hurriedly went to invite him.
Xia Liqing came with the manuscript. Now dressed in Tsing Yi, he didn't look like a prince at all, but rather like a high official who had read poetry and books.
"I've met my father!" Xia Liqing didn't have any special father-son feelings towards Emperor Rongcheng. If he had to say that he did, it would be more appropriate to say he was a little resentful.
After all, without Emperor Rongcheng, the Xie family would not be like this.
"Haha, Fourth Brother, how have you been spending this time in Linyuan Pavilion?"
