Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 204 Annan (Part [-])
Zhou Duxin passed the exam No. 7, and the Zhou family did not have a big banquet.

Zhuang Jike took the 180th place in the exam, but the Zhuang family sent an invitation to the palace.

Jiang Changning threw the invitation on the kang table, "No."

"Then do you need to prepare a gift?" Xiulan asked.

Jiang Changning thought for a while, with Mrs. Zhuang around, the relationship with the Zhuang family cannot be broken, "Let's back up the ceremony as usual. When the time comes, I will tell the prince to let the chief historian go."

The left and right long historians of the palace are all officials of the fifth rank, and it is appropriate for the chief historian to replace her and King Jin.

"Okay." Xiulan took the invitation and went out.

At the beginning of the Youshi period, Jiang Changning did pregnancy exercises with Nanny Feng, and played stick-picking games with Fu Cui on the kang.

Fangju came in and reported: "Princess, Laixi just came back to send a message. There are many things in the Yamen today. The prince asked you not to wait for him to eat."

"Understood." Jiang Changning said without raising his head.

Xiulan, who was embroidering insoles at the side, was convinced that the princess made these toys for herself to play with, not for the little prince or the little princess.

King Jin returned late because Yu Cang, Annan's powerful minister, made himself queen and sent someone to ask Daqin for canonization.

He also claimed that the Li family of the Yue State was massacred by the rebellious party, and their heirs had been extinct, and their branches and concubines had been destroyed.

The emperor didn't want to worry too much about the internal affairs of Annan who lived in a corner.

As long as he is willing to surrender, he doesn't care who is King Annan.

He thought about the request of Yu's father and son, but there were honest courtiers, so he felt that he should not be so hasty.

"Yu Cang's father and son's actions are really rebellious and are not tolerated by ghosts and gods. I believe that His Majesty should send troops to the south to wipe out Yu's rebel party and return power to Li's family."

"The Li clan has been wiped out, how can we pay it back?" said a courtier.

"This is just one side of Yu's father and son's remarks. As long as you look for it, you will definitely find someone from Li's family."

The emperor quietly listened to the arguments of the courtiers, unmoved.

Until one of the ministers said something astonishing, "If you let such rebellious officials and thieves like this, I am afraid that even the suzerain country will be ignored, and some people will follow suit and kill the king and usurp the throne, what should I do?"

The emperor has always suspected that the King of Jin has the heart of disobedience, and deliberately asked the King of Jin, "How should we deal with this matter properly?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I think that whether Yu's father and son are rebellious or not, they should send someone to investigate. It is not difficult to conclude that Yu's father and son are seeking to usurp the throne just based on the request for canonization by Yu's father and son."

"The minister seconded the proposal." Several courtiers came out and said.

If so, all the courtiers will discuss who should be sent as an envoy to Annan, and whether they should lead troops there?If you lead troops, how much is appropriate?
Just because of this matter, there were endless debates, and the envoy was finally decided. The Shaoqing of Honglu Temple was the main envoy, and four fifth-rank officials were selected as the deputy envoys.

Escorting them to Annan was another debate.

In addition to the city defense army and the imperial forest army, there are five other teams in the capital.

General Song took the initiative to invite Ying, but his opponent resolutely opposed it.

Some spoke for General Xiong who was idle at home, and some disagreed, "General Xiong acted too recklessly, and if he led the troops, I am afraid that a small matter would turn into a big one, just like appeasing the victims, it would be out of control. "

There was also someone who suggested that the king of Jin lead troops to escort them, but was ridiculed: "A group of fourth- and fifth-rank officials, what qualifications do you have, let the prince lead troops to escort them."

There is indeed some truth to this statement, and of course even if he did not say this, the emperor would not let King Jin lead his troops.

The last leader was the commander of Jinwu Youying, who was promoted by the emperor.

After nightfall, the commander of a restaurant on Dingfu Street went from the secret road to the Langhuan Bookstore to meet his real master, King Jin.

"Yu's father and son are extremely vicious. You should have no worries in the territory of Daqin, but when you enter Annan, be careful that they send people to ambush you." King Jin warned him.

"The lower officials will act carefully," Xiang Commander said.

After talking about the meeting again, Xiang Commander left from the secret road. King Jin took a few ancient books and left the bookstore.

When he returned to the mansion, Jiang Changning had already gone to bed, and the couple couldn't talk.

The next day, before Jiang Changning woke up, he went to court again.

Jiang Changning didn't find a chance to tell him about letting the chief historian go to the Zhuang's house for a banquet, and he will go tomorrow.

It's not easy for Jiang Changning to go to the yamen to find someone, so if he goes to the Liuxuan Courtyard, ask the concubine for advice, and ask the chief historian to go to the dealer, is it okay?

When the concubine heard that the dealer had sent an invitation, she was worried that Jiang Changning would go out to the banquet, but she couldn't stop it. After all, Jiang Changning's belly was not big, so it was quite convenient to move.

Fortunately, Jiang Changning took the initiative to say no and asked the chief historian to go. The concubine was overjoyed, "Let the chief historian go, I will tell him."

"Thank you, Concubine Mu, Concubine Mu, I'm sorry." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

"You child, there are so many courtesy, a little thing."

The next day, the chief historian went to the dealer for a banquet on behalf of King Jin and Jiang Changning.

When the old lady Zhuang learned that Jiang Changning hadn't come, her eyes were filled with disappointment.

Wu frowned, "What a white-eyed wolf."

"If you can't speak, just shut up." Mrs. Zhuang said sharply.

"Sister-in-law, misfortune comes out of your mouth. You've said it before your head. Now it's different from the past. Don't put on airs about your Mrs. Zhuang." Zou said with a strange tone.

Wu snorted coldly, "It's none of your business."

"It's all from the Zhuang family. If you offend someone, our second wife will also suffer with you. Of course it's none of my business." Zou said eloquently.

"When did I offend someone? You are the one who offended them." Wu said unconvinced.

"Okay, it's a big day, don't make noise here, and don't go out to entertain guests." Old lady Zhuang said angrily.

The two daughters-in-law glared at each other, left the old lady's yard, and went forward.

The old lady Zhuang sighed heavily, and leaned on the pillow, "Young girl Ning is married to me."

"Old lady, although Princess Jin didn't come, she let the Chief Historian come, and there are seventh-rank officials in the prime minister's mansion. The servants don't know how many ranks this long historian is, but if you want, you can have six or seven ranks, right?"

"Little girl who doesn't know much, the chief historian is a fifth-rank official." Mrs. Zhuang said.

"Si Ye is in high school, and he must become an official. Princess Jin sent a regular fifth-rank official here. This is not to give birth to the old lady, but to praise Si Ye."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhuang showed a gleam of joy on her face.

Jiang Changning didn't come, but he sent a fifth-rank senior historian to come, which shows that the Prince Jin Mansion has not severed ties with the banker, and the two mansions have contacts.

Even if Prince Jin's Mansion did nothing, people in the officialdom would not dare to look down on the Zhuang family, which would be good for Zhuang Jike's career as an official.

The dealer invited many relatives and friends to this banquet. The chief historian found that most of them were officials of the third and fourth ranks, and then saw people from the Daijian County Government.

After the banquet, the chief historian went back to the mansion and reported the matter to Jiang Changning.

Jiang Changning didn't pay much attention to it. The boss of the dealer has always loved to make money, and he was an official in the same dynasty. It is not a big deal to have a relationship with the Daijian County Government.
