I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 367 The Sneaky Six

"Ha." Yu Jin sneered, thinking that this person really had ulterior motives. He must be trying to make some fuss about the marriage: "Which noble lady has he fallen in love with?"

Unexpectedly, Lou Zhiping shook his head and denied: "The Marquis of Xiang knows that his status is sensitive, so he does not dare to ask for a noble girl from a high family, and he has no favorite one. Everything is up to your Majesty."

Yu Jin was a little puzzled: "After giving so much money, is this really all you ask for?"

"Exactly." Lou Zhiping lowered his head and responded.

Superintendent Jiao, who was standing beside him, had his eyes flashing slightly and hesitated to speak. Yu Jin saw it at a glance and asked:

"Jiaozuo, have you seen what Yu Chu's intentions are?"

Jiao Lingjian bowed and said: "It's not about the intention, but I can guess a little bit of Xianghou's thoughts."

"Why are you so embarrassed in front of me? Why don't you tell me immediately?" Yu Jin said angrily.

"Your Majesty, when the case of the cruel prince caused bloodshed in Xijing, the late emperor pardoned Yu Chu's crime and appointed him a marquis. Everyone in the government and the public was secretly trying to figure out your attitude. No one dared to betroth their daughter to him, for fear that It will bring disaster. Even the Marquis of Xiang himself is equally confused and uneasy. He does not dare to leave his bloodline secretly without His Majesty's permission. This time he is distributing his family wealth, most likely because he wants to ask for His Majesty's clear decree."

He finished speaking carefully, and there was silence in the hall. Yu Jin glanced at Lou Zhiping below: "Does Da Nong Ling think so too?"

Lou Zhiping nodded calmly: "That's right. Not only that, I also heard that the then violent prince Yu Dang, Ye Tingling Ling Zhang Shiyuan, had pity on Yu Chu who was young and weak but had not yet started a family, and intended to allocate his granddaughter to him, but he had just moved After thinking about it, his brother Zhang Tingwei dissuaded him. Even Zhang Shiyuan was like this, let alone other families in Xijing."

Yu Jin was silent for a long time, and then suddenly laughed: "Since the late emperor has recorded him on the jade certificate, it is normal to carry on the family line. As long as Yu Chu can stay safe, I will naturally be tolerant. I am just giving him a gift. The candidate for marriage must be carefully discussed."

"The sea is open to all rivers, and it is great to be tolerant. Your Majesty really has the demeanor of a saint." Lou Zhiping said with emotion: "It's just that this matter is not urgent. It is still within the mourning period of the late emperor. It will not be too late to mention it after a year."

Although Yu Jin is young and smart, and tries his best to show his mature side, he is still a young man at heart. Because of the lost gold in his inner treasure, his heart is still full of excitement, and he does not want to stop there.

He pursed his lips and glanced at Jiao Zuo, who immediately understood and said: "Your Majesty is very busy studying and observing politics every day, so he always follows the teachings of the late emperor and finishes everything on the same day. If he waits until a year later, I am afraid that time has passed. "

"And as far as the old slave knows, although marriage is prohibited among the people this year, it is okay to get the news in advance and prepare for others. Marriage is a big event, and it is not too early to prepare a year in advance. If you wait until the last moment, I'm afraid that the Marquis of Xiang will have to wait another year and a half to issue the decree. Your Majesty's move is meant to be a favor, but it would be unsightly if it arouses resentment due to various delays."

Yu Jin felt more and more that what Jiao Zuo said was exactly what he felt. This man was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and the move by those who promoted him to eunuch was truly wise.

"That's it!" He said decisively: "Does Lou Aiqing know which unmarried young lady in the capital is worthy of the Marquis of Xiang?"

"This" Lou Zhiping looked confused and thought for a while before saying: "Your Majesty, Yu Chu's identity is very sensitive. Although the emperor's favor is overwhelming, I think that any official who has served as an official for more than two generations, or who has been in office for more than 800 years, It is not advisable to build a house with a stone or above, so as not to cause unnecessary problems." Yu Ji tasted his words carefully, raised his head and asked, "Is it too harsh?"

Lou Zhiping looked upright: "I thought you were a little lenient. In order to prevent relatives from interfering in politics, this dynasty chooses concubines from the royal family, not to mention Yu Chu, who was a treasonous sinner? According to what I see, This time His Majesty is granting a marriage, you can just choose a good family man with no official title, and a more even appearance."

Yu Jin hesitated a little, but Jiao Zuo spoke for him: "That's not right. The blood of the late emperor is also in Yu Chu's body, and he is already a Marquis of Guannei. This time he offered a large sum of money to ask your majesty to grant a marriage. When the time comes, the imperial decree will be given. Suddenly, when people in the world see that what I have been given is just a good family son, they will talk about it behind my back, damaging His Majesty's holy name."

Lou Zhiping was furious: "Whoever dares to say too much about the emperor's family affairs will be punished severely by the Tingwei Mansion!"

Jiao Zuo sneered: "The Great Nong Order wants to block the mouths of the people of the world? But what your Majesty wants to do is to be an eternal Mingjun, not the former King Zhou Li!"

"Okay!" Yu Jing stood up, snapping the case: "There's no need to argue. Both Da Nong Ling and Jiao Ling Jian are dedicated to serving the country, which makes me feel very happy. In this way, I will look for an official daughter who has a simple family background and is not in an important position. , it is appropriate for the person in the family to be an official with an official position of less than six hundred stones. You two can go and look for it separately. If you have a suitable reward, I will make a decision."

Before Luo Qianhuai and Xingxuan walked out of Yishanfang, they heard the sound of the second watch drum. Curfew started.

Xingxuan didn't take it seriously and asked Luo Qianhuai, "Madam, where are we going?"

It was obviously unrealistic to leave the city and return to Changlingyi so late, not to mention that she had promised Mrs. Cui that she would go over for a follow-up visit in the next few days.

If I had known that I would encounter something like this when I returned home, I might as well have agreed to live in Cui Mansion from the beginning.

"This place is only two squares away from Dongshi. It should be okay to get there, right?" Luo Qianhuai was going to stay in Yaoxing Tower for one night.

It's not that she wants to continue to take advantage of Mr. Mo, but the two of them still have a partnership relationship. She is not lenient in taking the dividends from Bu Xianxian, and the same goes for the Koi brand that gives free food and accommodation.

Xingxuan has been following Luo Qianhuai for a long time, and has a general understanding of what her kung fu is. The negative luck skill could indeed surpass the Jian Zong in a short period of time, but the damage to the body would definitely be considerable, so she was determined to rely on her own strength and lead Luo Qianhuai to fly all over the rooftops.

She had spent a lot of energy fighting with Jing Yuan just now, and she finally ran to Chongrenfang with Luo Qianhuai. Seeing that victory was in sight, she couldn't keep up with her physical strength, so she could only pull Luo Qianhuai and lie down on the roof together. to avoid the patrolling soldiers.

"Madam, don't be anxious." Xingxuan gasped and whispered, "Let me adjust my breathing for a while, and then we will continue walking. The East Market is always extremely lively, and all the major restaurants will be open until dawn. As long as we can sneak in, No one will notice."

Luo Qianhuai nodded and was about to speak when he suddenly saw a group of sneaky people walking out of the narrow alley beside the house where they were.

There were six people in total. There was one person in front who was exploring the way, and one person behind who was walking backwards to finish. The four people in the middle were carrying a bulging linen bag that looked like it contained a person.
