Chapter 245: Officials Want to Take Zhao Fujin as a Pledge?
Chapter 245 The official wants to use Zhao Fujin as hostage?
Royal Palace.
While Wang Lin was having a banquet at the Han family, the news that Wang Lin had been granted the title of King and promoted to a noble rank naturally spread to Xiaoyue Garden. Zhao Fujin was boredly reading an ancient book in the bedroom, and his heart had long been drifting to Wang Lin.
Went.
If she hadn't been worried that the court officials would continue to attack Wang Lin at this juncture, she would have sneaked out of the palace and stayed in the palace.
Yancui and Mulan hurriedly walked into the palace, with smiles on their faces: "Your Highness, I am very happy!"
Zhao Fujin looked up in astonishment: "Where does joy come from?"
"The official family has granted Wang Shijun the title of king. He has also been granted the title of Prince of Bohai County. He has also been given the title of Three Dukes. He is in charge of the military and political power of the entire Jingdong East Road state. He is also allowed to open a government in Nanjing and conduct exercises for the new army..." Mulan laughed.
road.
Zhao Fujin also laughed when he heard this: "This is a good thing. Lin Lang is now considered a prince. He is a highly respected minister and has military power. He doesn't have to worry about those bastards in the court bullying him..."
Yan Cui was speechless: "Your Highness, that person is not easy to bully! Others bully him? It would be great if he doesn't bully others!"
"Your Highness, I have heard that he scolded Mr. Song from the Yushitai into a puddle of mud at the court meeting, and sent dozens of officials from the Yushitai, including Song Tingwei, to the Dali Temple Prison.
.It is said that now when the adults in the court mention the envoy or the county prince, they really become angry."
Zhao Fujin sneered: "That's what they deserve! They are a bunch of greedy bastards. They can't clean their own butts, but they jump out to impeach Linlang. Damn it!"
"Your Highness, there is actually some bad news." Mu Lan hesitated for a while, but still felt that she could not hide it from Zhao Fujin.
Zhao Fujin waved his hand disapprovingly: "You don't need to tell me, I know what it is. Isn't it the prince's business?"
Yan Cui was stunned: "Your Highness, you haven't left the door for the past two days. How do you know this?"
Zhao Fujin chuckled, but said nothing.
Mu Lan suddenly put her hand on her forehead and walked back and forth in the hall with a suspicious look on her face.
I thought in my heart: Could it be that Wang Lin sneaked into the palace and told His Highness about this? Oh my god, what's going to happen if this continues? His Highness is always like this, having sex with him alone and alone, one day
If the water goes out...
Seeing Mu Lan keep looking at him, Zhao Fujin's pretty face turned red and his eyes widened: "Xiao Lang Hoo, if you dare to think wildly again, be careful of me spanking you!"
Yan Cui sighed and said, "Your Highness, are you really not worried about the King of Bohai County offending His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Zhao Fujin chuckled: "You don't understand it, but it doesn't hurt to tell you."
"The prince got too close to Wang Lin in the past, and it felt like there was a thorn in my father's heart. Especially this time about Prince Yun's rebellion, this thorn became more and more piercing in my father's heart. If
If Wang Lin and the prince are not allowed to turn against each other, my father may not even be able to sleep well."
"So my father deliberately transferred Taiwei Zhang away and appointed Wang Lin to train the new army in Nanjing. It was clear that he was on guard against the prince's mischief again. And it was obvious that Wang Lin must be with his father.
A compromise was reached, so the prince was touched..."
"Song Ting jumped out for those officials. I guess it was because of the prince's instigation, but they didn't expect Wang Lin's counterattack to be like thunder... But of course, this is what the father wanted to see."
"Next, Wang Lin went to the Zhu family and sent the deposed crown prince Zhu Lian back to the Zhu family. The prince had recently launched a plan to kill the Zhu family. Wang Lin's public visit to the Zhu family was equivalent to a fight.
The prince’s face…”
Yan Cuin interjected: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince rushed to the Zhu family with swords and soldiers, and he was full of murderous intent. Unexpectedly, the Zhu family had already been sent away to Qingzhou by the king... the county prince. In his rage, he almost
The Zhu family was burned down with a fire... Outsiders also said that the prince publicly said harsh words about his incompatibility with Wang Lin..."
Zhao Fujin curled his lips: "He is used to doing this kind of thing, but there are many elements of acting, so don't believe it. If you really give him a sword, do you think he would dare to fight to the death with Lin Lang?"
Yan Cui was surprised: "Your Highness, could it be said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the County Prince are at odds with each other, and they are both trying to show off to the officials?"
Zhao Fujin was silent for a while and shook his head: "No, the prince may be following the trend, but Wang Lin is not just pretending. I know his temper is definitely not someone who can be tolerated. The prince's attack on him has touched his fundamentals.
His going to the Zhu family is a warning to the prince."
Yancui and Mulan looked at each other, and both saw horror in each other's eyes.
After all, the prince is the crown prince, so what can Wang Lin do if he is not aggrieved? Could it be... The two of them broke out in cold sweat and did not dare to think about it anymore.
At this time, a palace maid reported in the courtyard: "Your Highness, Concubine Wei has arrived."
Zhao Fujin smiled and went out to welcome him.
Concubine Wei often ran to her in the past two days. Zhao Fujin knew that she meant no harm and had always had a good relationship with her. She was also happy to have Concubine Wei come to talk with her.
Of course, Zhao Fujin knew very well that why Concubine Wei wanted to be friends with Kejin was simply for the sake of her ninth brother Zhao Gou.
"Maode, you are not well yet. It is very cold today. Why are you wearing such thin clothes?" Concubine Wei came over quickly, took off the peony-embroidered gold cloak from her body, and put it on her personally.
Although he knew that Concubine Wei was trying to please her, Zhao Fujin, whose mother died when he was a child, still felt warm in his heart at such concern.
That's the kind of temperament she has.
Whoever treats her well will be rewarded tenfold and a hundredfold.
The two of them chatted and laughed and returned to the palace.
Seeing that a brazier had been set up in the palace, and the warmth was warm, Concubine Wei looked at Yancui and Mulan with a smile and said: "These two girls are quite clever. They know that the master is weak and needs to be taken care of! Give Maode the century-old ginseng I sent.
Has it been stewed? Her body has suffered too much losses in the past, and she needs to take care of herself for a year or two."
Zhao Fujin's thin face has become quite rosy recently, but he is still a little short of energy and will be out of breath if he exerts even a little effort.
"Auntie, there's nothing wrong with me. I'm in good health and I don't need any major supplements."
Concubine Wei squinted and smiled, her expression a bit lazy: "If you don't take good care of yourself, how can you get married and have children with your body and bones?"
Zhao Fujin's face turned red and he stamped his feet: "Auntie, what are you talking about? I'm not getting married."
"The Prince of Bohai County won't marry either?" Concubine Wei chuckled, her chest rising and falling, making Yan Cui and Mu Lan a little dizzy. As for Zhao Fujin, she was very envious.
She subconsciously glanced at her pigeon breasts, feeling so depressed.
Concubine Wei squinted her eyes and leaned over and said in Zhao Fujin's ear: "Don't worry, the baby will be big after you give birth..."
Zhao Fujin turned around in shame and went to the inner room.
"I heard that Mrs. Han is already pregnant. If you want to pass the door, why don't you hurry up? But your body is too weak, Mao De. Your mother died early, and no one taught you. This woman is like giving birth to a child.
It's not that easy to pass through the gate of hell..."
"Auntie... don't scare me, is it true or not?"
"Not to mention women among the people, how many concubines have died in childbirth in our palace? Do you still need me to tell you their names one by one?"
Zhao Fujin's face turned a little pale when he thought about it: "Auntie, will it be possible if I don't give birth to a child?"
Concubine Wei was stunned, and then she stood up solemnly and said: "Maode, we women can only live by men in this life. Either the wife is honored by the husband, or the mother is honored by the child. If you marry and don't have children, how can you gain a foothold in other people's families?"
Do you know that a woman's infertility violates the law of seven births..."
"You look like me. If I hadn't given birth to Gou'er, now..." Concubine Wei suddenly became sad and lowered her head.
If she had no prince, her fate would be the same as that of many women in the palace, living a lonely life and dying in depression.
If palace maids are not favored when they reach a certain age, they may be deported from the palace, but once they get involved with the emperor, they will never get ahead.
Although she has been a widow for more than ten years now, there is still a glimmer of hope.
Zhao Fujin looked deeply at Concubine Wei, nodded slowly and said: "Auntie, I understand."
"So, you have to take good care of yourself. This is your capital." Concubine Wei was just sad for a moment, but she quickly adjusted herself.
"I originally thought that there would be no problem between you and the King of Bohai County, but I heard that the official family publicly said yesterday in front of ministers such as Li Xiang that they would give you a marriage to Wang Lin, but the minister was rejected.
Strong opposition..."
Concubine Wei glanced at Zhao Fujin and saw her calm expression, and couldn't help but wonder: "Maode, aren't you worried?"
"What are you worried about? My father has no objection to me being with Lin Lang, so I am content. How can I still force my father to brave the disapproval of the world and grant a marriage in public? You also know those civil servants and aunts in the court, those
People are so stubborn that it is absolutely impossible to expect them to give in."
Concubine Wei sighed: "That's true. When it comes to the marriage of a royal daughter, after all, the officials cannot violate the ancestral etiquette and go against the ministers. But, what should you do in the future?"
"My father's public offer of marriage is just a test. At the same time, it is also for me and Lin Lang to see..."
Zhao Fujin was silent for a while and suddenly said: "My father summoned me before the meeting and told me this. I understand what my father meant."
Concubine Wei was surprised: "The official..."
"Auntie, Lin Lang is now a very popular minister and controls a lot of troops. It can be said that apart from the Western Army, he has the Fuhu Army. My father is doubly favoring him. He just wants to rely on Lin Lang to secure his throne.
, but it’s normal, Lin Lang was supposed to serve his father, and speaking of it, his father has always treated him well..."
Concubine Wei pondered: "I understand. The official is telling you that he agrees with your marriage, but he will not marry you now... Because you are in the palace, the official is more at ease."
Zhao Fujin chuckled: "Actually, I'm not that anxious. Lin Lang also said that if our love lasts for a long time, how can we live day and night? In the past two years, I have been recuperating in the palace, and Lin Lang has been a good father in Qingzhou.
The emperor is training his troops, and when the time comes, my father promises me that he will definitely give me a decree to marry me."
Zhao Fujin was all smiles, but there was actually something she didn't say.
Zhao Ji gave her a secret edict and ordered to open a palace for her in Nanjing.
Wang Lin always spends some time in Nanjing every year, and that is the day when she and Wang Lin are reunited.
Concubine Wei sat there in shock for a long time, speechless.
As expected, there is no love in the Tian family.
For officials, even their own daughters can be used as hostages to check and balance their ministers.
