Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 198 Visit
There are three staff in the study room discussing this matter with King Jin.

"Your Majesty, if the Queen Mother is really short of time, then our previously planned strategy of Xu Tuzhi may not be suitable."

King Jin himself also meant the same thing. Although the Queen Mother had always supported him in his bid for the throne, in the final analysis, the prince was also the Queen Mother's grandson. If the Queen Mother defected at the last moment, he would not be able to take the throne even if he had three heads and six arms.

However, forcing the palace to strangle the prince had a bad reputation. King Jin knew that he could not take the lead in this matter, but had to start it with someone else.

"Your Majesty, now that we have reached a critical moment, you must not worry about anything else. It is not up to you to decide whether we will be a king or a bandit in the future."

The three staff members unanimously felt that the matter could not be delayed any longer and should continue to be disrupted.

"Alas, the prince and brother are really not brave enough. I, the king, can only protect his family's prosperity and wealth for a lifetime."

Emperor Ling was in a coma, and as his former good brother, Rong Guogong naturally looked gloomy every day.

The wedding date of the Duke of Rongguo and the Marquis of Weibei has been set. Even if all the forces in Kyoto are waiting for them to make a move, the two families do not intend to change the marriage. After all, Tang Wensong is really not young.

Just because of the situation at this time, Rong Guogong and Weibei Hou discussed in private that the marriage would continue as usual, but they could not do it as grandly as usual, so they could only wrong the king.

Therefore, Mrs. Weibeihou and his wife both subsidized the dowry money given to Wang Shen a lot. Since they couldn't get married in glory, they should bring more banknotes and land.

Some of the dowry items prepared by Mrs. Weibei Hou Tai and her stepmother Ling Ruhua for the birth of the king could not be brought to the Duke's Mansion at once. They could only be moved there slowly after they got married.

"You'er, why are you so frustrated? Grandma can't help you."

Mrs. Weibei Hou Tai pulled her granddaughter, who was getting married tomorrow, to tears, looking helpless and distressed.

Wang Shen was really shocked to see her grandmother so guilty and sad.

My grandmother had a gentle temperament and regarded her husband as her top priority. After my grandfather passed away, she obeyed her son Weibeihou in everything. Wang Shen had never seen him cry like this.

Wang Shen used a silk handkerchief to gently wipe away the tears of the wife and said, "Grandma, my granddaughter is not wronged. You and mother have given me so much dowry money. My granddaughter is very wealthy."

Mrs. Hou Tai of Weibei couldn't accept this statement. I wonder which woman wouldn't want to have a grand wedding that would be envied by others.

Ling Ruhua sat beside the grandfather and grandson, and waited for Mrs. Tai's mood to calm down before speaking.

After Ling Ruhua remarried, her husband dotes on her, her mother-in-law is gentle and polite, and her stepdaughter is also cheerful and easy to get along with. Her temperament has become much softer in the past two years.

"Mom, no one expected this situation to be like this. Fortunately, our uncle is a good man. He will definitely love you for the birth of a child in the future."

Tang Wensong had more respect for Wang Shen, his unmarried wife. Wang Shen was really aggrieved for marrying him at this time, so he naturally had to come to express his determination in person.

Not only did he promise to his father-in-law and his wife and other female relatives that they would treat Wang Shen well, he also promised that he would only have one wife in his life, and even gave his private property to Wang Shen as his wife's dowry.

When the grandson-in-law Tang Wensong was mentioned, the wife's mood was obviously high, and she happily began to praise Ling Ruhua as a mother with good vision.

The next day, Wang Shen married into the Duke of Rongguo Palace from the Weibei Marquis Mansion in a low-key manner. All the guests at the wedding banquet were close relatives at home.

The study outside the Jin Dynasty.

"How did the investigation go?"

Although the King of Jin discussed the matter with his staff, the prerequisite was to confirm whether the Queen Mother was seriously ill.

"Going back to your lord, my subordinates have checked and it turns out that the Queen Mother indeed invited a doctor that day. The medical record states that the Queen Mother was infected with wind-cold;
The subordinates secretly stole the dregs of medicine from the Queen Mother's kitchen and asked the doctor to identify it, saying that it was a medicine used to prolong life. "The King of Jin asked the secret guard to leave and stayed alone in the study for a long time.

During lunch, King Jin and Princess Jin ate together with their mother and son. After the children were fed by the wet nurse and taken away to rest, King Jin and Princess Jin also went into the inner room to take a nap.

"You go back to your parents' house in the afternoon and let your father-in-law wait for me at home tonight."

Princess Jin, who had been taking a nap with her eyes closed and covered with quilt, suddenly sat up and asked, "My lord, do you want to tell your father about the Queen Mother?"

The King of Jin's family had been in business for several years. Due to the obstruction of the prince, there were only a few people with military power in their hands. However, my wife's maternal uncle, surnamed Prince Wang Mu, did have military power.

On weekdays, Prince Mu's Mansion rarely interacts with Prince Jin in order to avoid suspicion. Now that it's a life-and-death moment, Prince Jin cannot let Prince Mu's Mansion stay out of the matter.

Although the most important thing in the event of an uprising in Kyoto is to control the palace, King Jin doesn't have many people at his disposal, and the Jingwei Department and the Fifth Army Governor's Office have never intervened.

King Jin buried a few of the Imperial Guards who defended the imperial city, but they were all small leaders and had little effect.

Chengguo Duke's cousin Qiao Zhensheng, as the second-rank official of the Fifth Army Governor's Palace, did have someone in his hands. However, Chengguo Duke's Palace always flaunted its neutrality. King Jin was not sure whether his father and son would fight with him when there was an uprising. Be against.

The aunt's husband, the Prince of Jin, was not sure, but his father-in-law, the Prince of Jin, was very confident, because they had been tied to the same boat since Qiu Chan'er married into the Prince of Jin's palace.

"I would like to give my father-in-law a heads up. I also want to ask my father-in-law about something."

Although King Jin was not very warm to his father-in-law, Mr. Qiu, in the past, he treated him with courtesy and there was nothing wrong. Today, he was so respectful and wanted to ask for advice. Princess Jin suddenly felt that King Jin valued them as father and daughter.

"How about I pack my things and go now?"

Of course King Jin couldn't offend anyone by asking for his father-in-law, so he quickly stopped Princess Jin's eagerness.

"Chan'er, it's not too late to go after taking a nap. Besides, my father-in-law has some official business to deal with at the Yamen."

When Princess Jin thought about it, it was true that even if she returned to her parents' home after taking a nap, her father would not necessarily go back to the government office.

No matter what the atmosphere was, the couple was very sweet and harmonious, happily hugging each other and taking a nap.

In the afternoon, Princess Jin returned to her parents' home with her two children.

Princess Mu, the wife of the Minister of Civil Affairs, was naturally surprised to see her daughter and grandson.

"Your mother didn't let anyone inform her when she came. As a mother, I can prepare fruits and snacks for you in advance."

When the princess arrives, everyone in the house must bow before her according to the rules. As the eldest sister-in-law, Qiao Waner cannot be absent.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law heard the magpies chirping today and thought there would be distinguished guests. She had already prepared exquisite pastries. Unexpectedly, the princess sister came home. Do you think it is a coincidence?"

Qiao Waner's words not only relieved her mother-in-law's worries but also praised Princess Jin's sister-in-law. Both mother and daughter were very happy to hear it.

"Sister-in-law is still as charming and good at talking."

The mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and sister-in-law were sitting around drinking tea and talking about home affairs. Soon they were waiting for Lord Qiu, the Minister of Finance.

Qiao Waner chatted with her sister-in-law for a long time. Seeing that it was already getting late, her sister-in-law didn't say anything about returning home. She expected that she had something to discuss with her father-in-law, so she walked out of her mother-in-law's main courtyard with a wink.
