Start with the humble bridegroom

Chapter 329 It's all for you, believe it or not!

Seeing her grandson kneeling on the ground with his head on the ground, his words were sincere, Concubine Shentu's eyes were full of brilliance, she never thought that her grandson, who was full of scholarly spirit, would come up with such an idea.

Let the Su family become the adopted daughter of their lineage!

In fact, Shentu had already guessed the emperor's next move, but she had always opposed it.

Compared with the brothers who have worked in the court for more than ten years, Lao Ba has just recognized his ancestors and returned to the clan, and has no team at all.Although the emperor repeatedly hinted that everything would be arranged, Shentu never let go.

Now, with the secret efforts of the kings, the process of conferring the king on the ground has reached the point where it is not dependent on Shentu's wishes.

But the trick of making Su Mingyan Yang Zongchao's adopted daughter is very interesting!
It's not that Shentu doesn't care about court affairs, she even knows more about the Su family than ordinary people.During the few months when she secretly lived in Wuling, the Su family had caught her eye, but Meng Xiaowan was more suitable for her in terms of chess skills, age, and background.

The dual identities of Su's lord and servant of the emperor's hidden residence, coupled with the deep blood feud with Nan Wu, made Shentu regretfully abandon her at that time.Therefore, she knew Su Mingyan's character and talents better than anyone in the court, including the emperor.

Unlike other people who are particularly worried about whether Su Mingyan will act recklessly and uncontrollably after going to Southern Wu, Shentu thinks that this woman is actually a person who puts love in her heart because of what happened to her. Being able to win over well, scruples may not make Su's tolerance because of Yang Zongchao.

The emperor agreed with Shentu that it was unlikely that Southern Wu would capture Zhaoyang County again, but there would probably be many attacks on Zhaoyang, which would pose a considerable danger to her son and grandson, after all, swords had no eyes.

If it is true that Zhaoyang County can become the dowry gift of Wu State in name, firstly, it can make Wu State more face in this negotiation, and secondly, with the face-saving style of the Wu royal family, it will not easily attack Zhaoyang County in the future.Stealing the dowry gift given to the woman would be a big shame in front of all the countries in the world.

Shentu also didn't think that Nan Wu could really prevent the Su family from getting in touch with the Crown Prince of Nan Wu.With Zheng Guo's methods and the strength of Zheng Guo's spies in Wu State, coupled with the world-famous lust and stubbornness of the Wu State Prince, it is not difficult at all to spread Su's beauty to the Wu State Prince's ears.

The problem that Zhang Zhe had been worrying about before, in the eyes of Imperial Concubine Shentu, was the real unfounded worry.To let a woman who is full of hatred serve her bed, the courts of various countries have various means and precautions.

So after hearing this suggestion, Shentu's first thought was: Su Mingyan might have a child with Prince Wu.If this is the case, her son and grandson, who are the father and brother of Princess Wu, will be much safer in Zhaoyang County.

If in the future, the Su family really has children, with his wisdom, it is even more unlikely that he will give up keeping in touch with his adoptive father in Zhaoyang County. In that case, Yang Zongchao's influence in Wu will also be developed.

More importantly, as long as the Su family has a foothold in the Wu State, no matter which one of the Zheng State finally takes that position in the future, the King of Zhaoyang County will be under the care of the new emperor as an important link to connect and balance the Wu State. will be handled easily.

Of course, this has also created a problem for Zheng and Wu.That is because of the maintenance of this bond, it is difficult for the two countries to hide the actions of the other side in the Zhaoyang area.Whether it is Wu State who wants to attack Zhaoyang County, or Da Zheng sends troops from Zhaoyang to attack Wu, the possibility of leaking secrets to each other will exceed [-]%.

However, given the current domestic situation of Zheng and Wu, doing so is one of the best choices.

The old lady stared at Yang Shangyang for a long time, but in the end she sighed. This kind of unconstrained idea was definitely not something her grandson could think of.Thinking of Yang Shangyang just coming back from Liucheng County, the old lady immediately guessed whose idea it was.

That night the old lady called the emperor, but even in the face of the emperor's grandfather's persecution, Yang Shangyang still bit the bullet and did not betray Zhang Zhe.Little did he know that his expression had already let the other party know everything, and Yang Shangyang only realized this after returning to his room.He was somewhat regretful that he did not follow Zhang Zhe's suggestion. When they parted, the second brother repeatedly told him to wait a day or two to find a suitable time before mentioning this matter.

But as soon as he returned to Lanxiu Palace today, he learned from his grandmother that the emperor was drafting an imperial edict.In a moment of desperation, he spoke directly to the old lady.

Zhang Zhe didn't know that Yang Shangyang was so unreliable, so when the old lady sent him back to Chang'an the next day, he thought it was because Meng Xiaowan begged the old lady.

As the highest ranking imperial concubine, the old lady summoned the doctor of Zongzheng Temple, even Zhou Zhiyi couldn't find any faults.

Rushed to the Lanxiu Palace, the old lady just smiled and asked a few things about the Su family, and then sent him home.

"The emperor is also unaware of the warmth and coldness of the world. Xiaowan is about to give birth, so she detained her husband-in-law outside. You go back first, just say that I keep you in Beijing, and I want to ask about Su's affairs at any time."

Zhang Zhe left the hall thankfully, but found no trace of Yang Shangyang after searching around, so he could only happily go back to Zhuchi Xiaoyuan.After he left, Yang Shangyang walked out from the side with his head poking around.He deliberately avoided the second brother, for fear that the other brother would know that he "accidentally" betrayed him.

According to the arrangement of the imperial grandfather and the old lady, his second brother might have to go on a long trip this time!
Meng Xiaowan is also a little restless these few days, because according to the date sheet Zhang Zhe wrote for her, her day of giving birth is just a few days away, but her husband is not around.Therefore, when Zhang Zhe walked in with a big smile, Meng Xiaowan rubbed her eyes amusedly.

The two got together, and everyone else left the house one after another, otherwise the dog food in the next moment would guarantee that they would be able to support people to death.

Meng Xiaowan heard that it was the old lady who asked him to come back, and she also said a few words to thank her mentor in the future, but she didn't think much about it.

The next morning, while Meng Xiaowan was still sleeping soundly, Zhang Zhe got up.

He was going to go to Shizhong Temple and Zongzheng Temple to order a job first, and then go to the gate of Lanxiu Palace to hang a name, and then come back to accompany his wife to give birth in peace of mind.He was called back by the imperial concubine for questioning. This was a business matter, and he did so out of caution, so that no one could find fault.

But as soon as Zhang Zhe arrived at Shizhong Temple, he bumped into Li Zhaofeng head-on.

Li Zhaofeng came out of the courtyard with a livid face, followed by Guo Xunran who was full of anger. The two were overjoyed when they saw Zhang Zhe.

"Believe it, go and follow me to knock on the que!"

These words almost scared Zhang Zhe to death.

Knock Que! ?What kind of event happened here? The emperor of this dynasty is not a perverted king. What kind of event requires two young servants who have just started work to block the palace gate and make admonishment?
"Your Majesty Zhou knelt at the gate of the palace city last night, and His Majesty ignored you all night! Early this morning, not only our officials from Shizhong Temple, Yushitai, Zhongshusheng, and even many officials from the Six Departments Went to the Meridian Gate to knock on the que. The few of us just finished the errands in hand, and we are about to rush to the Meridian Gate. The letter came just in time. With you, we will definitely be able to drive everyone in the undergraduate course!"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Zhang Zhe hurriedly stepped on his feet to prevent the two angry youths from being caught between him. "You guys should tell me what happened first?"

"Your Majesty is going to issue an imperial edict today. He actually wants to hand over all the kings and feudal vassals to build their own mansions, and to hand over the land, military and government as a whole! Xinzhi's "On Feudalism" is still in the air. Advise together in the same year."

Hearing these two fatal words, Zhang Zhe cried out regret in his stomach for a moment, why would he think of coming to Shizhong Temple to have an appointment?Originally, he was cautious, afraid of falling into someone's trap, but now it's all right, he didn't fall into the trap, but he was surrounded by people wanting to touch his neck to the emperor's knife!
Labor and capital do not do it!
Zhang Zhe yelled in his heart, and within a few breaths he thought of a countermeasure.

"You two!" Zhang Zhe said in a deep voice, "The summoning of the same year to force the palace is firstly not done by a minister, and secondly, it is to impose our righteousness on others. One person is enough to make an admonition. This time when a certain came back, it was recruited by the noble concubine Shentu. After coming to the temple, he had to go to Lanxiu Palace to answer. Since the Meridian Gate could not enter, a certain tried to get an imperial edict from the noble concubine. Go straight to the Longhua Hall or the Imperial Study Room in the palace, and give your advice directly to the Lord!"

"Believe it!" Li Zhaofeng and Guo Xunran's eyes turned red immediately, and they couldn't help but burst into tears. Is there any upright minister in the world who is more brave than Zhang Xinzhi? !
"A certain action cares about surprises, the two of you must not publicize it in advance, making the method of entering the palace useless!"

"nature!"

"Take care of yourself!"

Zhang Zhe didn't say much, and hurriedly went to the room to check the number, then turned around and left.

Admonish the emperor?Cut, it's not that he thinks his life is too long.

For more than 20 years, the kings have become stronger and stronger day by day, and they are not stupid people today, so how can they continue to indulge?It's not because, in fact, it is the path that His Majesty deliberately cultivated, and even forced the kings to take.

For 20 years, the crown prince was not crowned, and the kings were allowed to expand their power, in order to become the king today!The prince was not named before, but because the emperor still disliked the lack of strength of the kings.When the strength of the kings reached, the emperor would seal the crown prince, and then demote the kings to border counties, allowing the kings to fight against the countries.

The thousand-mile border of the enemy country will be the battlefield of the kings!

Zhou Zhiyi had seen the emperor's plan a long time ago. What he was worried about was that the success of the kings would lead to civil war.But the emperor didn't care. What he cared about was that as long as he could rule the world, the person sitting on the throne should be named Yang.

There will be big waves in the court, and Zhang Zhe doesn't dare to walk around again, so as not to be coerced again.He went directly to Lanxiu Palace, and then hid in Yang Shangyang's room.As for Li and Guo in the future when they asked why they didn't get along with Yizhi, and then went to the palace to directly admonish him, he naturally had plenty of excuses.

The imperial edict to seal the king was to be issued today, Yang Shangyang did not dare to wander around, and happened to be hiding in the room, but was blocked by Zhang Zhe.

"Second brother! Don't blame me! The little brother just revealed his mouth in a moment of impatience." Yang Shangyang saw Zhang Zhe walking in hurriedly, and thought that this person was here to trouble him, so he hurriedly explained, "No way, the little brother will give it to you vigorously at that time." You can do whatever you want, and you can only look at your brother's wishes if you are an ox or a horse!"

These words startled Zhang Zhe, who had just let go of his heart.

However, he still tensed his face, and asked him deliberately "viciously", "Then why don't you explain the whole thing to someone?"

Yang Shangyang lowered his head: "The younger brother just came back the day before yesterday, and he also heard the news that it was about to be sealed. In a moment of urgency, I told my grandmother about my brother's idea. She is really shrewd, and she guessed it was my brother's idea when she turned around. Although I said nothing, but the royal grandfather and grandmother guessed that it was you. The royal grandfather and grandmother immediately made a plan to make sister Su my father's adopted daughter. Hou Chaoqing in the prince's mansion even met the envoy of Wu State overnight The peace talks between our two countries took a step back, but it has already been negotiated."

"That's the deal?" Zhang Zhe was taken aback immediately, "How did you talk about it? Let's listen to it! He, an envoy from the state of Wu, won't return to the country, so how dare he agree to make a contract by himself?"

Yang Shangyang looked up at Zhang Zhe, and lowered his voice a little.

"On the afternoon of the day before yesterday, the plenipotentiary envoy sent by the lord of the Wu Kingdom, King Shuyue of the King of Wu, had arrived in Beijing in secret. Quite a lot. So now the two countries are hiding it from all the countries in the world, and Uncle King Wu left in a hurry this morning. If the matter hadn't involved my father and our mansion, the emperor's grandfather would not have told me about it."

Seeing that Zhang Zhe was silent, Yang Shangyang took the initiative to tell the contents of the secret agreement that he knew.

"The two countries agreed that the matter of land cession should be forfeited. The Zhaoyang County captured by our country was given to Dazheng as a dowry gift for Sister Su, and the half county of Tuojiang acquired by the Eastern Front was returned to the State of Wu as Sister Su's dowry. The State of Wu gave it to Dazheng Zheng’s 400 million crowns will be filled with Wu official tickets and special products, and gold and silver are no longer limited, but the two parties agreed that my special envoy of Zheng State can use Wu official tickets to exchange for equivalent materials in Wu. Sister Su joined my family and changed her name to Yang Mingyan, named Wuling Princess, Married to the Crown Prince of Wu State as the Crown Princess, after the spring of next year, our father and son will personally send her to Zhaoyang, and Wu State may welcome her outside Zhaoyang City."

"Maybe?" Zhang Zhe became confused. Is it a deal or not?
"Uncle Wu Wang said that the crown prince of Wu just happened to be sick, and he said it would take years to get well. He said that getting married while sick is too unlucky. If both parties agree on their names first, Wu Guo invested in building a palace for Sister Su in Zhaoyang. Stay temporarily, and when the Crown Prince of Wu is well, I will personally go to Zhaoyang to marry him."

"Hehe," Zhang Zhe heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, "I'm afraid that the people of the state of Wu don't want Sister Su to see the prince of the state of Wu, but just to give a name. Anyway, the prince of the state of Wu has several sons under his knees." , are almost adults. If Sister Su also gave birth to a child, it will be a big trouble."

Yang Shangyang was slightly taken aback, he was going to call Sister Su Mingyan sooner or later, that's why he called him "Sister Su", but why did the second brother follow him and yelled indiscriminately?

Presumably the two of them were talking in private, so the second brother didn't care about it.

"Well, to go to Zhaoyang County to hand over the 400 million indemnity, and to purchase supplies from the Wu Kingdom, the emperor's grandfather assigned you to the second brother. I am afraid that the second brother will go to Zhaoyang first to do business in a few days."

Zhang Zhe raised his head fiercely: "There are so many civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty, why did His Majesty choose me? In a few days, I'm afraid it will be my wife who gave birth?!"

Yang Shangyang's voice was like that of a mosquito.

"The imperial grandfather counted the 400 million yuan in the military and political resources of the Zhaoyang Palace, but the grandmother was worried that sending other people would make trouble. In fact, we could not get a few sons in the mansion, so I recommended you, the second brother."

"Don't worry. Grandma said that after the child is full moon, the second brother will be sent out of Beijing."

Zhang Zhe jumped up furiously: "Boy, believe it or not, the uncle is the real master!!! 400 million coins, the uncle gave you all of them, believe it or not~!"
