Chapter 267 "Catch him..."
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. Although he was the Marquis of Ningyuan, he had always followed the route of a lone official in the court, guarding the southwest almost all the year round. And there is no promising child in the family.
The situation of his family is not a bit worse than those of the well-established families in Beijing.
Besides, my own children know that, with Danxue's timid temperament, even if she is married to an ordinary family as the eldest daughter-in-law, she is reluctant. Not to mention the princess of a country.
Jing and Di waved their hands: "Gu Qing, don't underestimate yourself,"
Then he sighed earnestly and earnestly: "You also know that because of the bewitching by the daughter of the Su family, the crown prince has been in a state of mind up to now. So I am really afraid, afraid that the crown prince will find another woman who is as scheming as the daughter of the Su family .
I have heard some things about Miss Gu. Although she is a bit shy, she is more innocent. Now I don't expect anything else, I just want him to find a simple and shy wife.
And you also know the prince's temperament. I can't guarantee anything else when Miss Gu gets married, but the prince's character will definitely allow her to live a safe and smooth life. "
Gu Zhao naturally didn't believe Jing and Di's words. The prince is the only prince of Jing and Di, and there is no need to use marriage to win over and consolidate his position.
So there are so many innocent women in the world, why did you choose his daughter alone?
But thinking of his daughter's marriage, he was really worried.
My daughter was lively and active when she was born, but then my wife passed away. He was busy with the military at the border every day, so he couldn't take care of it, so he was sent back to the capital, and he chose the most honest younger brother to raise him.
Because he has to guard the border, sometimes he only has the opportunity to return to Beijing once every two or three years.
As she grew up, her daughter became more silent and shy. Moreover, his reputation in the upper-class circles in Beijing is not very good. Now it seems that Jiji has passed, but I can't find any good marriage for a long time.
If you can marry the prince, it would be a good choice.
He is not greedy for the power and glory brought by the crown princess. As Jing and Di said, with the prince's upbringing, even if he doesn't like Danxue, he will give her the dignity she deserves.
However, thinking of his daughter's shivering and terrified appearance every time, he didn't dare to agree rashly. Instead, he knelt down and said, "Young lady is too shy, can your majesty allow me to go home and discuss with my daughter?"
Jing and Emperor nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, after half a month, I will make another decree to marry the two children."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The monarch and his ministers had a very happy conversation here, Feng Shuo still sat there quietly reading a book, unaffected at all.
…
After Ning Yuanhou left, Jing and Di glanced at the hourglass, and said to Feng Shuo:
"It's getting late, you and Princess Su go back and have a good rest for two days."
Feng Shuo got up, saluted and left.
Out of Qinzheng Hall, just about to turn to Fengming Palace, but saw Shen Mingjiao was already waiting for him by the corridor not far away.
Feng Shuo's straight back couldn't help but relax a little.
He walked over. A group of people went out of the palace together. In the palace, except for the empress and prince, if the emperor did not speak in person. The rest are not allowed to ride in sedan chairs.
A group of people turned around a palace wall, and saw Mrs. Jiang and his wife accompanying Jiang Xueru towards the gate of the palace from a distance, and the servant girl following behind had a proud expression on their faces.
Haitang asked curiously: "Why did Master Jiang leave so late?"
If they hadn't waited for Feng Shuo to come together, they would have almost returned to the palace by now.
Shen Mingjiao didn't take it seriously: "Maybe Miss Jiang went to see the prince!"
Haitang thinks so too: "There are rumors outside that Mr. Jiang is about to become the prime minister. Why is Miss Jiang only awarded a good girl!"
Shen Mingjiao raised her eyebrows: "The news has spread so widely, even you have heard of it!"
Haitang blinked because she didn't understand: "It's Erya who said it, she's always well informed."
At this time, Feng Shuo suddenly interjected: "Master Jiang cannot be the prime minister."
Shen Mingjiao looked down at him: "Brother Huang told you?"
Feng Shuo paused for a moment: "It counts!"
He explained: "Your Majesty has taken a fancy to the three prime minister candidates, but these three have their own advantages and disadvantages. Your Majesty couldn't make up his mind for a while, and I happened to be here, so he asked me casually, what should I do?"
In order to conceal his identity, unless in private, Feng Shuo usually calls Jing and His Majesty the Emperor.
Shen Mingjiao asked cooperatively: "Then what did Shuoer say?"
"Since these three people have their own shortcomings, let's use each person's shortcomings as the starting point and give them a test.
Zhongshuling Master Jiang is smooth and thoughtful. He knows how to know people well, but his disadvantage is that he is very greedy for profit.
Chu Yushi is upright and upright. He believes in pleading for the people all his life. His Majesty said that to be a good prime minister, it is not enough to have a heart of loving the people.
Master Xu is modest and thoughtful, and he did many practical things for the people when he was a county magistrate, so he can be called loving the people like a son. It's just that he is a little gentle in doing things, and he is not decisive enough. "
"Your Majesty followed my proposal, and first let people say that he pre-appointed Mr. Jiang as prime minister,
Then pass this news on to Master Xu Ling, Minister of the Minister, and let him know that Master Jiang is ready to find a way to deal with him only after he takes over the position. The political views of the two have always been at odds. It just depends on what Master Xu does, whether to fight each other to the death, or just try to protect himself!
At the same time, Chu Yushi received a report letter, reporting that Xu Daren's family members ran rampant in the village and robbed civilian women, and the news was true. At the same time, he also learned that Mr. Jiang planned to find a way to deal with Mr. Xu. In this way, as long as he is impeached, Mr. Xu will definitely not be able to please him. But he knew clearly that Mr. Xu was actually a good official, and he didn't know what his clan brother was doing at all.
It depends on what Master Chu Yushi does, whether to impeach him impartially or to find another way? "
Feng Shuo shook his head: "It's okay, someone is following secretly, if there is any change, they will warn the police."
Shen Mingjiao felt that no matter how smart he was, he was still a child, and there were some things that he would never understand without experience. "Anyway, be careful."
After finishing speaking, she sighed again: "In this way, Mr. Jiang is the first to be eliminated!"
As soon as she got the news, she eagerly stuffed her daughter into the East Palace, which was like hitting the muzzle of a gun.
Feng Shuo nodded: "Not only that, His Majesty recently found out that Master Jiang seems to be involved in some important case."
Shen Mingjiao instantly thought of Su Huai and the master behind him. Could it be that Mr. Jiang has something to do with this matter?
However, this kind of thing is not something she should worry about. She only told Feng Shuo to put her own safety first, so she ignored it.
The group of people walked for a while, and when they were about to reach the gate of the palace, a young **** holding a flower pot walked towards him, seeing the gorgeously dressed Shen Mingjiao, he hurriedly bowed his head in salute.
Maybe it was because he didn't eat enough or something. When he lowered his head, he was unsteady and fell to the ground, but his hands subconsciously protected the flower pot.
A **** who appeared to be in charge followed immediately behind him and knelt down to plead guilty:
"It's the slave who didn't discipline well enough to let his subordinates offend the nobleman, please forgive him."
Shen Mingjiao naturally wouldn't care too much about such things. He waved his hand casually to let the two get up.
The handsome father-in-law hurriedly bowed his head to thank him, stretched out his hand to pull the little **** who was sitting on the ground, and reprimanded:
"Get up quickly, what kind of words are in front of the nobleman..."
Shen Mingjiao was planning to leave at first, but, with the help of the palace lantern shaking in Haitang's hand, she inadvertently caught sight of a black mole on the inner side of the arm of the father-in-law who was in charge when he raised his right arm to pull the little eunuch.
This is nothing unusual, but Shen Mingjiao always feels that she has forgotten something important.
Just when the two were about to leave, she finally remembered. He whispered to Yang Dayang Er who was hiding in the dark:
"Catch him..."
…
I still remember the Mr. Wu I met on Peach Blossom Island. He was originally an ordinary messenger of the Great Xia Kingdom. Later, because someone designed to replace the letter from the former crown prince to Feng Lisheng, he was silenced by the other party.
According to that Mr. Wu, the person who designed to trick him was a servant, of medium height, with a square face, and a mole on the inside of his right arm.
More than two months ago, during the hypnotic interrogation of the peak lord of Xue Can Peak, the other party briefly mentioned such a servant.
Her heart was pounding, and she had an intuition that as long as she caught this person, she would know everything.
Yang Dayang and the others, who were hiding in the dark, were ordered to fly towards the father-in-law and arrest him. Unexpectedly, the other party moved away nimbly, and planned to escape with a light kung fu of luck.
Fortunately, all the players present were carefully selected to fight against ten players. After a siege, the father-in-law was captured with just a few moves.
To prevent him from committing suicide, Shen Mingjiao hurriedly said: "Quickly... remove his limbs and chin!"
However, it was still a step too late. At the same moment that the father-in-law was removed from his limbs and chin, the other party tilted his head and lost his breath.
Shen Mingjiao was a little unbelievable and disappointed, and she was just a little bit close to being able to ask the identity of the person behind it.
Yang Da stepped forward, opened the father-in-law's mouth, and after some inspection, Shen Mingjiao said: "There is no poison sac hidden in his teeth."
Shen Mingjiao asked: "Can you roughly see the cause of death?"
Several people shook their heads.
Shen Mingjiao thought for a while, and asked someone to bring the body back to King Su's Mansion, and then invite Wu Taiyi to come over, or let Cui Lingling look at it. As for how to explain to Jing and Di, it is naturally left to Feng Lisheng to solve.
…
Shen Mingjiao returned to the palace in a bad mood, and Eunuch Hua greeted her with a smile: "Is the princess hungry? The servant asked the big kitchen to make you your favorite crystal shrimp dumpling?"
Shen Mingjiao waved her hand: "It's too late, let's talk about it tomorrow!"
"By the way, is Lingling back?"
Grandpa Hua nodded with a smile: "Go back, the young couple are taking a walk in the garden?"
Shen Mingjiao raised her eyebrows, the two are reconciled!
When she went to the backyard and passed the garden, she saw the two sitting side by side on a deck chair next to a wisteria trellis.
It's just that two people sit on one side, and a seven-foot man can lie down in the middle.
Qin Yan looked at Cui Lingling with an aggrieved face, matching his face, it was really hard to refuse.
However, Cui Lingling seemed to be immune to his move, and sat with a blank expression. A pair of eyes quietly glanced to one side without any trace.
Shen Mingjiao watched secretly amused, this is still awkward.
She stepped forward and asked, "When did you two come back?"
Cui Lingling glanced at Qin Yan, curled her lips and said, "Not long after we separated, I was pulled back by someone."
"I heard that something happened at the palace banquet. It was about the prince and Miss Jiang. Tell me quickly."
Cui Lingling pulled her and asked enthusiastically, with a strong gossip in her eyes.
"I'll tell you later, you follow me to see someone first."
