MTL - Transmigrated As Cannon Fodder To Marry-Chapter 44
Unlike before, he only asked a few courtiers to discuss and ask for opinions. This time, he announced it directly at the morning court. He was just issuing a decree and telling everyone that he wanted to choose a concubine.
Naturally, there are many people who are against it. The women who are required to enter the palace are too young, but anyone with a bit of conscience would not be willing to let such a young girl serve an old man, so what about the emperor, he is old after all.
In contrast, many people would rather bet on the crown prince and several princes.
It's a pity that this objection was useless. After Emperor Changde's early court, he directly asked people to draw up an imperial decree and issued it to various places.
Weijia
Jiang Lin and Wei Yunzhao sat facing each other, with the same cold face and disgust in their eyes.
Jiang Lin spoke first, "He has a problem, a big problem."
A majestic emperor would never want to choose a concubine wantonly after having tasted the taste of two young girls. Emperor Changde's performance is more like a desire, a desire for a young girl.
"It's too urgent. The second prince is caught up in the prince's affairs, so he can't spare too much effort to investigate this matter. None of us can intervene in the affairs of the palace, so we can't find out the reason for his problems."
Moreover, the second prince might not help them investigate this matter with all his heart, after all, it would not be a loss to the second prince, and he could even take the opportunity to stuff people beside Emperor Changde's pillow.
The mystery is still unresolved. It seems that there are extra hands stirring the wind and rain. Jiang Lin searched the plot in his mind, but he couldn't find anything related to this episode. There was no such episode in the original book.
"Wei Yunzhao, do you know the other princes?"
The original body did not understand at all, because Zhao Qiuru had been avoiding him from contacting any prince, and the reason was that her eldest son Jiang Zhen robbed the original body of the opportunity to enter the palace as a companion for the fourth prince, and Zhao Qiuru was afraid that Jiang Lin would enter the palace. The palace will affect Jiang Zhen.
The original body had also been in contact with the prince and the fourth prince before, and both of them were his seduce targets, but the prince hated him extremely, and the fourth prince also hated Yuanchen after hearing Jiang Zhen's bad words about him, so Yuan The body quickly gave up these two goals and turned to other people.
And like the other big princes, the second prince, the fifth prince and the sixth prince, they didn’t know any of them. In the original book, because Jiang Jinyue had the help of the system, everything went smoothly. Except for the villain, the sixth prince, who broke out later, the other princes had no role at all. Either he was eliminated when he was a stumbling block for the prince, or he was sent to a place where no **** was possible after the prince ascended the throne, and he was never allowed to return to Shengjing, so he was offline.
Wei Yunzhao shook his head slightly, "I have rarely been in Shengjing since I started leading the army. I haven't had much contact with the princes, and I don't know much about them. I only know that the eldest prince Yue Ge Xiwu is also good at martial arts. I just want to As a general, he is still stationed at the border and has not returned to Shengjing for three years."
"The second prince is a smiling fox. The longer you get in touch with him, the more you realize that this person is not easy to mess with. He has very hot methods and must be punished. But this time it should have nothing to do with him."
"The fourth prince and the second prince and his mother seem to be somewhat arrogant, but they are also somewhat capable. They can be regarded as the second prince's good helper. I only heard that he acts unruly and doesn't respect the rules. He is very fond of the emperor. I'm not sure about this matter. Does it matter, just from the surface, he is still a good brother who wholeheartedly helps his elder brother."
"The fifth prince is not from a high family background. He has always been low-key and taciturn. Someone said before that any of the princes can become the throne, but the fifth prince has no chance."
"As for the sixth prince..." Wei Yunzhao paused, "When I was young, I once saw him being bullied by the maids in the palace. Although he was born of the empress, he has been pampered in the palace because he was weak and sick since he was a child. When the news got out, many people didn't even know that the queen gave birth to a sixth prince. The sixth prince doesn't seem to have any motive."
On the surface, it seems that except for the second prince and the crown prince who are always flamboyant, everyone else is very honest, they don't even have the intention to fight for the throne, and they don't even have the guts to do anything to their own father.
But in the past, dogs that can bark don't bite people. The second prince has a clear goal, and the one he has to deal with is the prince. And the prince is even more impossible, after all, with his mother around, there is no need to intervene in the affairs of the harem.
After going around in a circle, it turns out that becoming a queen is the most motivated and most likely. After all, it was in her and Jiang Jinyue's plan to make Emperor Changde addicted to the two little girls and choose more young girls to enter the palace.
But Emperor Changde was too deeply affected, and sooner or later something would happen. When he came to his senses, the queen and the prince would be completely finished. The queen should not be so stupid.
"So who is it?" Jiang Lin's eyes showed a bit of confusion, and why did he do this, was it to deal with the queen and the prince?
I'm afraid that the answer to this question will not be found until those little girls enter the palace, and Emperor Changde will come to a few more questions.
"Is disfigurement useful?" Unable to understand what happened to Emperor Changde, he could only think of ways to avoid being selected.
Wei Yunzhao shook his head lightly, "The queen won't agree. From the beginning, the queen and Jiang Jinyue's goal is the two little girls Yunjia and Yunwan. Even the ugly queen will find a way to let them stay."
Now it's too late to get married, with this decree, Shengjing is afraid that many girls of the right age will get engaged and hired within a few days. The Wei family has never seen a suitable family before, and it is impossible to find a suitable family for these two girls. husband's house.
"It seems that there is only one way," Jiang Lin's eyes flashed coldly.
But what method Jiang Lin did not say.
People from the yamen came faster than expected, and another yamen came to the gate of the Wei family with a warrant, ordering the Wei family to send unmarried girls of the right age to the yamen for registration within three days. The crime of killing the nine clans.
The butler accepted the warrant, and the two sisters Wei Yunjia and Wei Yunwan knew about it, and they turned pale and red-eyed.
Wei Yunjia gritted her teeth and said to Wei Yunzhao, "Brother, you can marry me as you like, I don't want to enter the palace, nor marry the prince."
Even if she married a farmer, she would never go to that kind of place where people cannibalize.
Wei Yunwan followed suit and nodded, "Brother, I am too. I don't choose, and my former subordinates are also fine."
Jiang Lin touched his head one by one, "It's okay, don't worry, we won't let you enter the palace with us."
Wei Yunjia hugged Jiang Lin's arm, full of dependence, "Sister-in-law, we are safe and secure and have never provoked anyone. Why would someone be so cruel and insist on driving us to a dead end."
But in many cases, it is not that if you don't provoke others, others will not harm you.
Because there will always be someone who thinks you are taking something that belongs to him and getting in her way.
Jiang Lin softly comforted the two little girls for a while, and asked Wei Yunqi to make the two sisters happy. After sending them away, he said to Wei Yunzhao, "I have one thing to do. If found out, maybe We'd all be dead."
"In that case, what you owe me can only be repaid in the next life."
Wei Yunzhao clasped his hand, intertwined his fingers, and he said, "Okay."
…
On the second day after the imperial decree was issued, a strange thing happened in Shengjing. The streets were full of ants. These ants crawled everywhere, got on the pedestrians, climbed on the food that was put out, or fell into the well. , almost everywhere.
The most frightening thing was that these ants would climb some pillars and spell the characters themselves. The people who recognized the characters were shocked, and someone shouted on the spot that it offended the heavens, and the heavens sent a warning.
There were not the most ants on the street, more ants gathered at an intersection that the courtiers had to pass through to enter the palace, and there were so many ants crawling around that they formed the word Huo Da - Faint Lord!
When the courtiers who went to the early court saw such a scene, everyone was terrified.
The guard guarding the gate turned pale when he saw it, and went to report to Shangguan in a panic.
The way for the ministers to enter the palace was also blocked by this group of ants. Anyone who dared to get close to the ants would immediately crawl on people, and some ants even bit people.
The ministers whispered and glanced at the common people. They also felt that this was a punishment from God, otherwise why would there be so many ants overnight, and even piled up the word "faint king".
But before this, the emperor did something that made many people dissatisfied, which made them feel that this was a warning from heaven.
intrauterine
Emperor Changde, who was dressed properly and was about to go to court, immediately turned dark when he heard about the ant blocking the way, and when he knew that the ant had also spelled the word "hunjun", he began to act murderously, and said sharply: "Check, Let me find out the truth, and I want to see who is playing tricks!"
The ministers were not allowed to enter the palace, so naturally they couldn't go to the morning court. Emperor Changde also led people to the gate of the palace, and then saw with his own eyes the scene of the emperor with an ant character.
The courtiers on the other side of the ant knelt down to salute, and before Emperor Changde called them up, someone said that the appearance of the ant was a warning from the heavens, asking the emperor to take back the imperial edict to choose a concubine.
Someone took the lead, and immediately there were voices of seconding in twos and threes, and Emperor Changde's face was as black as the bottom of a pot that was about to drip.
Emperor Changde flicked his sleeves, ignored the courtiers who begged him to take back the imperial decree, and returned to the palace with a cold snort.
Qian Yongfu was very discerning and ordered the people to ask the imperial physician to test whether there was any medicinal powder sprinkled on the ground, and also ordered the guards to dispose of the ants after the imperial physician's inspection, so that none of them could be missed.
The blood in Emperor Changde's chest was surging, and his whole body was filled with a strong sense of displeasure. He was not only angry with those who played tricks behind the scenes, but also angry with the courtiers who didn't have the power to say anything about the warning from heaven.
He has been an emperor for decades, and he is dedicated to Da Viet, the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, and the people are rich. Whoever in the world does not praise him as a king, he has made such a feat, and God will send a warning because he wants to choose more women in the harem , What a big joke.
Back in the bedroom, Emperor Changde called out the hidden guards in a cold voice, "Go and investigate, and find out who is behind the trick for me, and if you find out, shoot and kill!"
The dark guards came and went without a trace, and soon disappeared.
But the anger in Emperor Changde's heart still persisted, and his eyes gradually turned red.
But soon a secret guard appeared to report, not only ants appeared at the gate of the palace, but also all over the streets of Shengjing. Now the people in Beijing are talking about the emperor’s inhumaneness, which angered God and sent a warning. Today’s ants are just the beginning. There will be others soon, if the emperor still wants to repent, the whole of Dai Viet will perish.
The rumors came from nowhere, but everyone knew about it.
Emperor Changde was furious when he heard this, and kicked over the table, "Idiots, a group of idiots, arrest, arrest all these idiots who talk nonsense and confuse the public, and cut them down immediately. Impossible!"
Emperor Changde was in a hurry, his blood was rushing to the top, and he couldn't bear it and stepped back a few steps, feeling dizzy.
Qian Yongfu felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support Emperor Changde, and ordered someone to invite the imperial physician.
He persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, it's all a small trick. After finding out who did it, dragging the person to the vegetable market and beheading the public, all problems will be solved. It's not worth it to be so angry. .”
Qian Yongfu pressed the head of Emperor Changde again, "The servant thinks that most of these are those who have girls of the right age in their families and refuse to let them enter the palace, so they came up with this way to obstruct it. "
Emperor Changde closed his eyes, calmed down slowly, and asked Qian Yongfu, "I have devoted myself to this world, and I have never even been out of this palace a few times. I just want to have a few young women, is that wrong? "
"I have done so many things for this world, but just because I want a few young women to enter the palace to serve me, I have become a foolish emperor?"
Gan Yongfu naturally said no again and again, "Entering the palace to serve the emperor is the blessing they have cultivated in several lifetimes. It is a great joy, the emperor is happy, and they are also happy. There is nothing wrong with mutual consent."
Hearing these words, Emperor Changde felt a lot better, and then he remembered the weak body of the little girl at night, his heart was itchy, and Emperor Changde bit Yongfu, "Go, call me over."
It is clear who is called Yongfu, since those two were favored, the emperor has never summoned other empresses, and even seldom sat in their palaces.
Qian Yongfu asked, "Your Majesty, do you want Sumerian or Li Meiren?"
Emperor Changde thought for a while, "Call everyone, I'm tired, tell them to accompany me to relax."
"Yes," Qian Yongfu responded in a hurry, urging the little **** to invite someone, but he didn't dare to leave.
Before the two beauties came, the imperial physician arrived first, and after taking the pulse, the imperial physician's face was a little bad, Qian Yongfu felt a little bit in his heart, and walked to the imperial physician and asked in a low voice, "The judge, but the emperor's body..."
Emperor Changde didn't like the doctor saying that he was sick, he never liked to hear these things, so he changed the Ping'an pulse request once every five days to ten days. Please doctor.
Emperor Changde also raised his eyelids, and ordered directly, "Say."
The court judge considered it and said, "The emperor has been having too many sexual intercourses recently, which has caused some deficits. He needs to cultivate quietly and do less sexual intercourse. If things go on like this, I'm afraid that in the future... Please don't be lucky with the ladies in the near future, and cultivate for a while." If Juan Yin might lose his head, he bowed his head and said respectfully: "I prescribed a medicine for health, please take the emperor for two days first, and then I will come to ask for pulse."
Hearing that he was not allowed to have **** and had to drink medicine, Emperor Changde immediately showed displeasure, and let the court judge him to go away with a cold face.
When the court judge retired, the little **** happened to lead the Sumerian Li Meiren into the bedroom. The court judge took a sneak peek and realized who the emperor was shortchanged.
The court judge walked forward, and there was a sound of coquettish moaning in the palace, and Qian Yongfu and the others quickly retreated outside the door. Obviously, Emperor Changde did not listen to the court judge's words at all.
This side is warm and fragrant nephrite, but others are worried because of the word "faint king" that the ants crawled out of.
Especially after hearing that Emperor Changde had just called those two beauties to his bedroom, he was still angry.
Changning Palace
The queen cursed with a gloomy face, "Two little bastards, shameless bastards!"
The queen never expected that these two women brought into the palace to give the emperor a taste of the early adopters could seduce the emperor so much that he lost his soul. She was busy dealing with the aftermath of the prince, preventing the second prince and concubine Su Gui from catching the prince too much to deal with him, so she ignored those two scumbags and let them take advantage of the loophole. The emperor is inseparable from people.
Qiu Xi served tea to appease the queen, "Your Majesty, their lives are in your hands, Your Majesty, the emperor will only be fresh for a while, and the emperor will forget about them when the new couple enters the palace."
The queen snorted coldly, seeing those two cheap hooves being imprisoned one after another, she felt very uncomfortable. Although the emperor was old, he was her man after all. Seeing her man sleeping with other women all day long, any woman would will not be happy.
If it wasn't for getting rid of the Wei family, she wouldn't have listened to Jiang Jinyue's suggestion. Originally, she just wanted to pick some people into the palace when she was choosing concubines for the prince. It's done, but who would have thought that the emperor would wantonly choose a concubine for himself regardless of the crown prince.
But now that things are getting serious, I'm afraid that everyone will soon know that it was her, the empress, who proposed to choose a concubine. At that time, many courtiers will be dissatisfied with her.
The situation was already not good for the crown prince. If more people were offended by her proposal to choose a concubine, the crown prince's position as the crown prince might be shaken.
"The Wei family, let someone go and check the Wei family for me. It must be because Wei Yunzhao didn't want his two younger sisters to enter the palace. Hmph, since Wei Yunzhao dares to be so bold, then I will just get rid of him! "The queen almost didn't do what he thought, so she decided that Wei Yunzhao did it.
Qiuxi called someone to tell the Queen what to say, and then turned around to persuade the Queen, "Your Majesty, why worry, the idea is from the Anyang Marquis Mansion, if anyone wants to complain, you must blame her, what are you doing with your Majesty?"
The queen smiled with satisfaction when she heard the words, "You're right, Qiu Xi, then spread the news."
"Oh, by the way, how old is she this year?"
Qiu Xi: "It's fifteen, and I still have to report my name to enter the palace for election."
"Well," the queen took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "I know that she likes the prince, but I don't feel comfortable putting such a person by the prince's side. Qiuxi, where do you think she is more suitable?"
"The harem," Qiu Xi almost blurted out the answer.
The queen smiled softly, "Yes, how can a prince and even a filial person rob a woman from his father?"
The queen got up and walked out with her arms around Qiuxi, "I have to thank her for this matter. If it wasn't for her good idea, I am really afraid that the prince will make up his mind to let her enter the East Palace."
The queen laughed, and she was really happy to hear it.
…
The emperor's decree to choose a concubine is a disaster for many women of the right age in Shengjing, but when they know that ants form the word "faint monarch" on the street, many women who do not want to enter the palace are very happy, even I will quietly hope in my heart that this is really a warning from the heavens, and not a trick played deliberately by someone, so that the emperor can dispel the idea of choosing a concubine.
But not long after they were happy, the imperial guards went from house to house to question and question, and even started arresting people.
So this joy turned into fear, for fear that his family members would be arrested and locked up in a big prison. Shengjing also became a mess because of the appearance of these imperial guards on the street, and the people ran home and stayed behind closed doors. implicated.
On the side of the Wei family, the imperial guards were the first to come to the door. I don't know if someone specifically ordered them to think that the Wei family was the most suspicious.
After entering the door, they searched first, and deliberately intimidated the female family members to make them confess clearly, but Mrs. Wei and the others didn't even know what happened, so naturally they couldn't say anything.
The little girls Wei Yunjia and Wei Yunwan were also called out for questioning. They also didn't know what happened, their faces were confused, and they were frightened.
Wei Yunzhao and Jiang Lin were left at the end, and the leading guards kept looking at Jiang Lin, and Jiang Lin immediately showed his displeasure, "I don't want my eyeballs anymore, I think I picked them for you?"
The other party's face darkened, and he warned: "Master Jiang, you'd better not do anything, otherwise, let alone you are just the young master of the Hou Fu, you are someone with a more noble status, and you will not be able to escape."
"Oh, then you have the ability to catch this young master," Jiang Lin said contemptuously, completely ignoring people.
As soon as the other party waved his hand, someone would come forward to arrest him, "Do you think I dare not, the emperor has ordered, if there is any suspicion, shoot to kill!"
Kill him if you feel disgusted, it really is the dog emperor, Jiang Lin cursed in his heart.
Jiang Lin took two steps forward and poked the leader's chest directly, "So you want to kill me, then try it."
Wei Yunzhao gave Jiang Lin a hand, yelling at him, "Don't mess around."
Wei Yunzhao raised his hand and said with a smile: "Forgive me, my lord. My wife is used to being the young master in the Hou Mansion, so she has a bad temper. If you want to ask anything, just ask me."
But the other party didn't ask him, just gave Jiang Lin a cold look, and then led the people away, completely ignoring Wei Yunzhao, without giving him any face.
As soon as the man left, Jiang Lin laughed at him, "Huluo Pingyang was bullied by dogs, Wei Yunzhao, you are miserable."
Wei Yunzhao only said: "They are just following orders, push me back."
"Oh," Jiang Lin replied lazily, as if he didn't want to make a move, and even called the maid over.
On the way from the door to their own courtyard, Jiang Lin stretched out his hand and poked Wei Yunzhao's face several times, and ran away after poking, as if he was bullying Wei Yunzhao because he couldn't move his legs and couldn't seek revenge from him.
And Wei Yunzhao was so good-tempered that he didn't say anything, and seemed to be particularly conniving towards Jiang Lin.
After entering the yard, Jiang Lin went into the house, changed his clothes, and was about to go out with his money bag, "I'll go to Zhou Cheng to visit them, I won't come back for dinner tonight, don't wait for me, let's go," before leaving, he didn't forget to tick the guard Yun Zhao's chin.
Wei Yunzhao was also helpless, and told Jiang Lin to be careful, but Jiang Lin didn't reply.
The two don't seem to be very close.
Jiang Lin also did as he said, went out to play with his good brother, and didn't come back until dark, and drank, drunk.
This man was drunk and didn't do other things. He insisted on taking off Wei Yunzhao's clothes and fumbling with him. He also forced Wei Yunzhao to take a bath, calling each other a beauty.
After finally finishing washing, Jiang Lin climbed onto the bed, patted the bed and said to Wei Yunzhao, "Come up quickly."
Wei Yunzhao seemed reluctant and didn't move, Jiang Lin immediately squinted his eyes to express his dissatisfaction, "Wei Yunzhao, why are you pretending to be noble, your body is the only one that makes this young master look good to you, why don't you hurry up Serve this young master well, if this young master is happy, maybe he will give you a good word in front of my father and promote you to an official position."
