marquis of jingan

Chapter 485

Li Rui, the late emperor's brother, the immediate uncle of His Majesty the current emperor.

This Prince Jin, after missing the throne nine years ago, has been addicted to drinking and sex for a long time, probably because of his heavy thoughts, he looks older than his actual age.

The current Prince Jin looks like a middle-aged man in his early forties, but in fact, even after this year's end, he is only 36 years old.

And Jin Shizi Li Mu was his eldest son who was born at the age of 14.

There are two reasons why His Royal Highness King Jin had the idea of ​​recalling his son to Jiankang.

The first reason is naturally because the Jin Palace does not need any credit. Their family is already the top clan, and whether they are officials or not, they are the most noble existences. There is really no need to go out and work hard.

Even Prince Jin himself was appointed as Yin of Jiankang, and he reluctantly came out to take charge of Jiankang Mansion at the request of His Majesty the Emperor, and he sat in this position not because of any desire for power, but mainly to look after the situation for his eldest nephew, the Emperor.

The second reason why Prince Jin wants his son to come back is that Li Mu went south all the way, ransacked his home all the way, and even involved many civil servants in the imperial court and the local government because of the ransacking of his home. Up to now, he has offended many people. .

As a clan, although the status is high, the status is not stable. Sometimes the emperor is unhappy, and the good pregnancy in this life will be in vain. Therefore, as a clan, it is best to enjoy the blessings honestly and not to offend the court those people here.

Facing Prince Jin's inquiry, Shen Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "My lord, if there is no accident, the Anti-Japanese Army may be expanded into the capital next year, and the possibility of the imperial court appointing the prince as the commander of the capital is extremely low. The prince should come back in time."

"Du Si..."

Prince Jin glanced at Shen Yi indifferently: "The anti-Japanese army you created can maintain the current strength of the first guard, which is already very good. If you want to expand the Chengdu Division, let alone next year..."

He said slowly: "I'm afraid it will be impossible to do it in three to five years."

Shen Yi didn't argue with King Jin about this matter, after all, it doesn't make any sense, he lowered his head slightly and said: "If the prince said that, then the lower officials have nothing to do, the only thing is for the prince to write a letter to the son, let him Take the initiative to resign, or the prince went to see His Majesty and persuaded His Majesty to change the son's errand and let the son return to Beijing."

Prince Jin narrowed his eyes and looked at Shen Yi: "Should I let the newspaper secretary say something bad about my son?"

Shen Yi took a breath, then bowed his head and said: "My lord, the mansion newspaper department is no longer under the management of the lower officials. I'm sorry that the lower officials can't answer your question."

The Jinwang Highness looked calm: "Then let's not talk about this."

"The government has already seen what the Anti-Japanese Army has done along the coast this year."

He looked at Shen Yi, and sighed softly: "What I have to say is, Master Shen, you have done a good job."

"It's just that this matter involves military affairs after all, and Mu'er's identity is really inconvenient to participate in it, so the government hopes that he can get out of this matter. When things happen, you don’t have to be scruples.”

Shen Yi bowed his head, didn't say much, just silently answered yes.

"Okay, that's all for now."

Prince Jin reached out and patted Shen Yi's shoulder, and said lightly: "You and my two families have some kind of love affair. Although we may not be in contact with each other in the future, but for the sake of this relationship, I still hope that Master Shen will You can pull La Moore."

Shen Yi bowed his head respectfully: "If there is something that I can do my best, I will definitely spare no effort..."

"it is good."

Prince Jin stood up and asked, "Is this residence sending you off?"

Shen Yi quickly shook his head, cupped his hands and said goodbye, then hurriedly said goodbye and left.

........................

Imperial City, in the warm pavilion of Kunde Palace.

A middle-aged man in his early 30s was sitting respectfully under the empress dowager, talking with the empress dowager.

The two of them were talking, and the middle-aged man showed some grievances on his face.

"Your Majesty, when you entered the palace two months ago, didn't you say that you could find a title for me..."

The empress dowager glanced at him, and snorted sullenly: "Isn't it because your daughter's belly is not up to snuff? If he gave birth to the eldest son of my Li family, the emperor would not need to nod, and the Ai family would just give you a title." .”

The identity of the middle-aged man is self-evident after the conversation between the two people.

Empress Sun's father.

That is, the cousin of the Empress Dowager.

The Sun family has produced two queens in a row, and the Empress Dowager Sun has been in the family of the Li family of the royal family for a long time, so the Sun family, as a descendant, naturally gained a lot of glory.

In fact, ever since the Empress Dowager became the Empress Dowager, the Sun family has more or less used their nostrils to look at people in Jiankang City.

And now that His Majesty got married and another woman from the Sun family became the queen, the Sun family became even more arrogant. They had caused a lot of trouble in recent months, and they were suppressed by the Queen Mother.

Seeing the Empress Dowager Sun talking about having a baby, the head of state became a little anxious: "Sister, the prince is still the emperor's daughter, and it is not up to the empress to decide. Besides, both your majesty and the empress are still young. Sister, how about you?" If I can't hold my grandson this year, I will be able to hold my grandson next year..."

The Queen Mother glanced at her brother indifferently, and asked, "What if I can't hold him next year?"

The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly and stopped talking.

Whether it will be a boy or a girl, this is something that no one can guarantee.

Seeing that the middle-aged man was silent, the empress dowager glanced at him and said indifferently: "Next year, regardless of whether the empress is pregnant or not, the emperor will have a new concubine."

The last time the emperor married two women into the palace, one of them was Empress Sun who had just given birth to a princess, and the other was Princess Izumo of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Empress Sun gave birth to a daughter...but the Northern Qi princess was unable to conceive.

It's not that she can't get pregnant, but that everyone in Chen Guo can't see her pregnant, at least not now.

The meaning of the empress dowager's words is very simple.

That is, if the queen can't give birth to a son next year, then the eldest son may not necessarily be born by the queen.

Of course, the empress is the emperor's official wife. No matter whether she can have a son or not, as long as the concubine in the harem gives birth to a son, she must be called the empress mother, so there is no need to worry about losing her status as empress.

Although the Empress Dowager Sun is the daughter of the Sun family, she is also the daughter-in-law of the Li family. She should not only think about her niece, but also be responsible for the incense of the Li family.

The middle-aged man naturally knew the truth of this, he didn't dare to say anything more, he just lowered his head and said yes, and then said: "Sister, I don't care if your majesty accepts a concubine or not, but..."

"Didn't I give you the uncle?"

The empress dowager frowned, and said lightly: "For a short time, don't think about the matter of being a Marquis. Wait for the empress to give birth, and I will give you... and a Marquis of Yanchang."

The middle-aged man in front of him is also the head of state of His Majesty the Emperor, his surname is Sun and his name is Yanli.

The Yanchang that the Empress Dowager spoke of was also her brother, Sun Yanchang, the emperor's uncle.

Sun Yanli stood beside the Empress Dowager, he lowered his head first, then rolled his eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, you don't need to trouble yourself so much if you want to confer a title on Fourth Brother..."

He said in a low voice: "The purpose of being a Marquis is nothing more than military merit. My younger brother knows that there are ready-made military merits now."

Empress Dowager Sun frowned: "What crooked idea are you playing?"

Sun Yanli lowered his head slightly, and heheeded: "Sister, I heard that your Majesty made an anti-Japanese army in the first half of the year, and recently defeated the Japanese pirates along the coast. The commander of this anti-Japanese army...is the son of King Jin..."

Empress Dowager Sun frowned and looked at Sun Yanli, and asked, "What are you thinking about? Tell me what you have to say."

"Sister, my younger brother has already inquired about it."

Sun Yanli smiled and said: "The anti-Japanese army has already won several battles against the Japanese pirates."

"This is a military achievement that is within your reach!"

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Sun was silent, Sun Yanli continued: "Mother, this Jin Shizi Li Mu is a member of the Jin Wang family. Their family is with you. How can our Sun family be with you?"

Sun Yanli's tone was flattering.

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, fat water doesn't flow into outsiders' fields..."
