Chapter 99
"Yue'er, Yue'er, what are you thinking about?" Seeing that Jingyue was too absorbed in her thoughts, Song Jingyun gently called her twice.

Jingyue came back to her senses, looked at Song Jingyun and said, "Sixth brother, I need your help with something!"

"Okay, Yue'er, tell me!"

"Sixth brother, I would like to ask you to help me gather an unobtrusive troupe as soon as possible after the next year. I also need a few storytellers. Although I don't know what to do now, it will always be useful!" Jingyue has not forgotten that public opinion has a formidable power. If someone wants to "talk a lot" to the Song family, then she doesn't mind a "three people become a tiger".

"No problem, leave this matter to me! The people of Lord Lu haven't left yet, so you can go back later!" Song Jingyun thought it would be better for Jingyue to stay here first.

"Well, I see!" Jingyue replied.

After Song Jingyun left, Jingyue returned to the room she lived in before, and Tong would clean it every day, just thinking that Jingyue might come back to live in one day, and the old Zhuangzi would not be remodeled until after the Lantern Festival.

The New Year's Eve was supposed to be a time when the whole family sat together and had a reunion dinner, but this year, because of Prince Lu's proposal of marriage, the Song family added a bit of gloom.

During the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone in the Song family had a more or less sad or angry look on their faces. Sun's forced a smile, Song Zhanjie's face was as cold as ice, and Song Jingke's old energetic smile was no longer there.

Jingyue thought that last year because of the emperor's imperial decree, the joyous and joyful year was not good, and this year because of Song Jingke's sudden marriage, the festive New Year's Eve has become like this again, why every time things have to be on the New Year's day!

Jingyue looked at the family members who were trying to liven up the atmosphere, put down the bowls and chopsticks in their hands, and said, "Grandpa, Yue'er has something to say!"

"Yue'er, tell me!" Elder Song also felt hesitant. He had fought against the Nanman Kingdom for many years, and now it was really difficult for him to ask his granddaughter to marry him.

At the dinner table, the rest of the Song family put down their rice bowls and wine glasses, and looked at Jingyue.

Jingyue looked at Mr. Song and the others and said, "Grandpa, I have an imperial edict written by the emperor himself, which states that the marriages of the descendants of the Song family can be decided by themselves, and our family also has a gold medal for avoiding death, so sister Jingke She will definitely not marry into the Nanman Kingdom."

"Yue'er, is what you said true?" Song Jingke was sitting beside Jingyue, and she grabbed Jingyue's arm excitedly.At first, she thought that if the emperor issued a decree to grant marriage, she would have to marry if she didn't want to, but now that she has the imperial decree from Jingyue, she doesn't have to worry about it.

Sun also looked at Jingyue in disbelief and asked: "Yue'er, don't lie just to comfort Fourth Aunt, you really have this imperial decree!"

Seeing that her family had doubts, Jingyue asked Leng Shuang to go to the study to get the imperial decree Xiao Chenyu gave her.

After Grandpa Song and others opened the imperial decree, they found that, as Jingyue said, the emperor had allowed the descendants of the Song family to choose their own spouses.

"Yue'er, do you have other worries?" Seeing Jingyue looking at the imperial decree, Song Zhanjie didn't feel too relaxed or joyful.

Jingyue said to Song Zhanjie: "Yes, fourth uncle. Although we have the emperor's decree, sister Jingke can also choose her own husband and son-in-law, but this is only for ordinary sons of famous families. If someone asks the emperor to marry Song family, or someone came to ask to marry a descendant of the Song family, whether it was the emperor or the Song family who were dissatisfied, they could use this imperial decree as a shield. But it is different now, the young prince Lu is the proud son of the Nanman Kingdom, his The marriage proposal is likely to turn into a war. No matter whether the Song family agrees or refuses, this matter is not easy to handle. If you agree, not only will sister Jingke's life's happiness be ruined, but the Song family will also be slandered by those who want to be involved with the Nanman state. If the Song family refuses, there will be wars and chaos, and everyone will say that it is because the Song family is unwilling to part with a daughter that they brought disaster to Xi Chaoguo, and the Song family will definitely be accused by thousands of people."

"Yue'er's worry is very reasonable. Originally, there was nothing wrong with the marriage between the two countries. It's just that our Song family has just been framed for collaborating with the enemy and treason, and now we are marrying with the enemy. No matter what our original intention is, people will misunderstand it. It is indeed a bit tricky. !” Song Zhanwei analyzed.

"Sister, what do you think we should do?" Song Jingrui felt that only the resourceful Jingyue could solve this matter.

Jingyue bit her lower lip lightly, and said: "It's hard for me to think of a better way for a while. For now, I can only delay it first, and the longer the better. If this matter is pure, little prince Lu likes Jingyue It will be much easier if Sister Ke wants to marry her, but if there are other reasons, we need to make a long-term plan."

"This matter is not that simple. They won't give up until they destroy our Song family!" Song Zhanming's eyes flashed hatred.

Jingyue didn't know who the "they" Song Zhanming was talking about, but they were just those few people. Since they were determined to put the Song family to death, why would she have any scruples!
"Grandpa, you can leave the matter of sister Jingke to us! You, dad and uncles, just buy us more time!" Jingyue said with a sudden smile.

Mr. Song and the others saw a smile on her face, as if they had thought of some good idea, and hurriedly asked: "Yue'er, do you have any good ideas, tell me!"

Jingyue thought for a while and said: "The Song family has returned from a catastrophe. Many people think that because of the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, the status and power of the Song family in the Xi Dynasty have been greatly reduced. It seems that we cannot protect ourselves because of the Ling and Zheng families, so our opponents will look down on us and think that the Song family can be wiped out with a little trick."

"Yue'er, you are right. There are indeed many people who think that the emperor is just a puppet manipulated by the Ling family, and the Song family's military power has been cut. Although your father is still a general of the Northern Army, he has only a half of the original number of soldiers in his hands. "Although Song Zhanwei is not in the court, he has a very clear understanding of the situation in the court, and he can even guess the thoughts of all civil and military officials.

Jingyue nodded and smiled, and said, "So, we're going to give them a trick to distract them."

"False plan? What kind of plan is this?" Song Zhanming asked with great interest.

Jingyue explained to several people: "I once read such a passage in the art of war book: 'Thus the human body is invisible and I am invisible, so I specialize and the enemy divides. I specialize for one, and the enemy divides into ten, so ten If we attack one, we will be many and the enemy will be few; if we can attack the few with many, we will have an appointment with the fighters. The place where we will fight is unknown. If there are too many people to prepare, then there will be few fighters. Therefore, if you prepare the front, you will be few in the rear; if you prepare the rear, you will be few in the front; The widow is the one who prepares others; the crowd is the one who prepares others for himself.' Therefore, we want to create an illusion for others, that is, 'we are many against the few', and then 'we fight the few with the many', so that They disperse their strength and attention to guard against us, and we break down their weakened places one by one, and the final victory will naturally belong to us."
