The Prosperity of Jingdi Chronicle

In fact, in Xiao Zhenting's vision, if Jing Ke's concubine is the daughter of Commander Wei, it will obviously be more beneficial to future events, but Commander Wei does not have a daughter at present. With the emperor's temper, where does Commander Wei want to come from? It is definitely impossible for a daughter to come out, they can only settle for the next best thing, and set their sights on the other daughters of the Wei family.

The eldest brother of Commander Wei and the youngest daughter of the Marquis of Zhongyi is a very suitable candidate in terms of status. The only disadvantage is that this youngest daughter is too young. Jing Ke wants to marry her smoothly. At least a few more years to go.

Xiao Zhenting's idea was perfect, and Jing Ke also cooperated very well in performing the dragging formula in front of the emperor, but the emperor's top priority was to find him a concubine to marry as soon as possible, and then throw him out of the palace to live his own little life. In case he is always short-sighted and often comes to disturb his sweet life with Wei Yan, how can he be so procrastinated.

Even so, Jing Ke is the emperor's most "favored" prince no matter what, even though this "favor" has countless moisture in it, the emperor does not want others to see it, so in the matter of marrying a wife Well, the emperor didn't treat him badly, at least he gave him a scope to choose by himself, and the character and family background of the candidate princesses were all top choices, and they would definitely not insult Jing Ke's status as a prince.

If there was Wei Minxuan in this range, Jing Ke would have agreed without saying a word, but unfortunately there was not, so he could only continue to shirk.

This back and forth soon wore out Jing Li's patience.

"Don't play tricks with me anymore. You are my son. I still don't understand your small thoughts. Tell me, which daughter do you have a crush on? As long as it's not too outrageous, I promise you will be." .”

Jing Ke's age is neither too old nor too young, and if there is no special reason, the children of the royal family get married very early. Jing Li hopes that he will get married as soon as possible. normal.

At this time, Jing Li saw that he was just evading it, and after thinking for a while, he thought of the key point. As usual, he generously agreed.As for whether his promise will be fulfilled on the spot, the outcome will soon be known.

"Father is serious?" Hearing what he said, Jing Ke was overjoyed, and hurriedly climbed up the pole.

Xiao Zhenting asked him to procrastinate, but the emperor made up his mind to force him to get married. In this world, marriages between children have always been ordered by parents and matchmakers. go down.

If he continued to evade, the emperor would probably go into a rage on the spot and directly point out the marriage.Moreover, he had spoken to the Grand Commander, and the Grand Commander seemed to agree with him to get married, so that he had a certain range of choices, and I am afraid that the Grand Commander begged for him.In this way, he is actually helpless, and he really has no ability to continue to procrastinate.

And even if he escaped the current hurdle, he would face many difficulties if he wanted to marry Wei Minxuan in the future. If the emperor agreed to this marriage, all difficulties would be solved.

"Of course, can I still lie to you?" Jing Li heard that Jing Ke's tone softened, and there was a bit of joy on his face.

Originally, he could designate Jing Ke a concubine at will, so would he still dare to resist the order and not marry?But if he really did this, Wei Yan would definitely be unhappy, if it wasn't for Wei Yan's sake, he wouldn't have the patience to spend so long with this brat.

Now that he saw that Jing Ke showed signs of willingness to get married, even if the candidate for the princess might not meet his wishes, he was still willing to lower the royal standard for marrying a daughter-in-law and give him a chance.

Jing Li thought that Jing Ke was dragging him so much because when he was living outside the palace, which family's daughter he fell in love with, it's just that a woman who can show her face outside is probably not a lady of the family, and her status is difficult to be a prince or concubine. That's why she kept playing sloppy with him, trying to make him let go.

At this time, he thought that the trouble would be resolved quickly, and identity was not a big problem, so he said to Jing Ke very kindly: "Tell me, which daughter do you like? As long as it is an innocent family My daughter, even if your status is a little lower, it doesn't matter, I will give you marriages."

On this point, Jing Li, like Wei Yan, is quite open-minded.But Wei Yan loves Wei Minwen so much, it is inevitable that he will pamper him and want to fulfill his wish in everything, while Jing Li wants to get rid of trouble as soon as possible, comparing the two, Jing Ke seems to be particularly pitiful.

What's even more pitiful is that he still doesn't know the plan in the emperor's heart. He thought that the emperor really wanted to fulfill him. After hearing this, he hurriedly knelt down and begged:

"My son wants to marry the youngest daughter of the loyal Hou, so I implore my father to make it happen."

"Young daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty!" Jing Li's complexion sank the moment he heard these five words. He pondered for a long time before uttering two words, "No."

"Why not?" Jing Ke didn't understand why the emperor suddenly turned cold.

"No way, no way. Jing Ke, I am very disappointed in you." Jing Li's voice was cold.

He remembered the youngest daughter of the Marquis of Zhongyi, who was only about five or six years old now. Although the marriage of a woman from an aristocratic family has nothing to do with love, even if Jing Ke didn't plan, there would be someone else in the end, but at a young age, Jing Ke had With so much thought, and when the object of his thoughts was still the Wei family, Jing Li felt a chill in his heart.

He doesn't mind his sons displaying their talents, but he minds his sons using those unscrupulous methods to deal with each other, especially when it involves the Wei family, it is more likely to be tabooed by him.

In his heart, he didn't like Jing Ke as much as he did on the surface. Of course, the main reason was because Jing Ke wanted to compete with him in front of Wei Yan, and the other reason was because he always had a faint feeling that Jing Ke had been pretending She is cute, and she is using Wei Yan's love for him to achieve certain goals.

Of course, he would never mention this perception to anyone, but only occasionally find some opportunities to suppress Jing Ke, lest he get too complacent.

But now, Jing Ke actually wants to marry the youngest daughter of Hou Zhongyi, no matter how stupid he is, he will not think that Jing Ke wants to marry her because he fell in love with a little girl under six years old. There is no need to ask the reason, he It is also very clear: Jing Ke wants to use Wei Yan's love for him again to achieve his goal.

"My son refuses to accept, can the things that the father and the emperor have promised with the golden mouth not count?" Jing Ke did not expect that the emperor would have such an attitude after hearing his request. The emperor has always loved him and treated him like this for many years. Not over.

He thought that a long time ago, the emperor often told him that as long as he did well, he would be rewarded, but the emperor's reward had never been honored.He didn't need to care about the unwarranted rewards before, but now he wants to fight for them.

"You're not convinced? I'm asking you, why did you marry the youngest daughter of the Marquis of Zhongyi?" Jing Li's eyes couldn't hide the deep disappointment. He didn't expect that Jing Ke planned to repay Wei Yan's love for him like this.

"I want to marry her, naturally because I like her. Even if the emperor refuses to agree, I will not give up. I will not marry her in this life." Jing Ke raised her head and stared at the emperor, with a smile in her eyes. Unspeakable things, sadness, unwillingness, and others.

"You like her?" Jing Li smiled, staring into his son's eyes, and said slowly, "I don't believe it, but I will take a closer look, how much you like her, so much that you don't want to marry her. I won't I agree to this marriage, but I won't stop it. If you have the ability, go ask for it yourself, and I want to see if Hou Zhongyi dares to marry his daughter to you without my consent?"

Jing Li said it so firmly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was mocking Jing Ke for playing tricks in front of him, he was simply beyond his control.

After all, Jing Ke was still young, so he couldn't stand such a provocation at all, and when he got angry, he didn't believe in this evil. After he resigned from the emperor, he immediately went to the Zhongyihou's mansion to propose marriage.

In the end, of course, as the emperor expected, he was easily dismissed by Hou Zhongyi on the grounds that "the little girl is young, her temperament is uncertain, she is difficult to be a concubine, and she dare not delay His Highness's marriage".

"why?"

After the marriage proposal failed, Jing Ke didn't go back to the palace, nor did she go back to the Marquis of Yongning, not to mention not allowing anyone to inform Xiao Zhenting, she only brought a few people, and found a clean place to get drunk.

No matter in the palace or in the Hou's mansion, or even in front of Xiao Zhenting, he has to control himself and not show emotions that should not be shown, but now he just wants to find a corner where no one recognizes him, and he doesn't care about it. Take a break.

Alcohol makes you sad and sad, and if you drink when you are depressed, the more you drink, the more depressed you will become.Jing Ke has a good capacity for alcohol, even if he drinks spirits like water, he will be a little drunk, but after getting drunk, he can finally question the sky loudly, to vent the grievances in his heart.

It is true that the failure of courtship made him sad, but what he was really sad about was not this matter.

Xiao Zhenting analyzed him, although the emperor loves him, he has never considered other times. In fact, he has not completely given up in his heart. He still hopes that the man who once hugged him and gave him advice for thousands of miles has actually had feelings for him in his heart. consider.

But when he proposed to marry Wei Minxuan, the emperor flatly refused.The emperor and him knew very well that the marriage between him and the Wei family was not just a marriage, but also meant countless possibilities in the future. When the emperor refused, it showed that the emperor did not intend to give him any chance at all.

The Wei family is the sharpest sword in the emperor's hands. For many years, the emperor has not allowed any prince to touch this sharp sword, so the Wei family has always been impartial, but he is so close to the Wei family, the emperor has never expressed He always thought that the emperor would allow him to touch this sharp sword, but he never thought that all of this was just his wishful thinking. It turned out that the emperor really hadn't considered him in his heart.

Hehe, he is the emperor's favorite son, this is the biggest lie in the world, right?

If he was really the emperor's favorite son, the emperor would definitely allow him to touch the sharp sword of the Wei family, but because he is not, the emperor would not allow it, right?

Let him propose marriage by himself, without the consent of the emperor, neither the loyal marquis nor the commander-in-chief would ever agree to this marriage. Jing Ke knew the result a long time ago, but he still went to the door to propose marriage, not for anything else, just If he wants to fight, whether it's his wife or something else, even if the emperor disagrees, he still has to fight with others.

"Why?" He drank the wine in the bowl in one breath, picked up the wine jar and filled it up for himself.

The people around him became worried when they saw him drinking like this, and tried to persuade him, but they were all thrown out by him.

Obviously he is also the emperor's son, so why wouldn't the emperor give him a chance?Thinking of this, his heart began to throb again.

"His Highness really wants to know why?"

Suddenly, there was a sound outside the door, Jing Ke's hand holding the wine bowl stopped in the air, and the other hand quickly grasped the hilt of the sword beside him, staring at the curtain hanging at the door of the elegant room.

There were people outside him, but there was no movement at this time, obviously being restrained.To be able to silently restrain those not-so-weak guards under his nose, the person who came was obviously a master.

Although Jing Ke drank a lot of wine, his hands were still steady. He sensed something was wrong, but he was not timid. Suddenly, the powerful breath moved towards the door, shaking the curtain on the door slightly.

"Your Highness is a master disciple taught by Commander Wei. He has been in battle and killed the enemy. How can a frail scholar like me be able to stand up to him? Please restrain your breath a little bit, Your Highness, otherwise how dare I come in?" The man outside the door sensed Jing Ke It is obviously not easy to talk with a smile while exuding a strong fighting spirit.

"King Fengcheng?" Jing Ke heard the voice of the person coming, and quickly frowned.

"Your Highness has a good memory. I don't know if Xiao Wang can come in to meet His Highness, or if Xiao Wang can clear up His Highness's doubts."

"Please." Brother Minwen said not to deal with this person, because it would make the emperor unhappy.

But Jing Ke already understood that the emperor didn't like him at all, so he didn't take this matter to heart anymore, and really wanted to hear what he had to say.

The last time the two met, they didn't disclose their identities, and Jing Ke made a small modification, but both of them are smart people, and they didn't mention the old things, just sat and drank slowly with a smile.

"You said you can solve my doubts, how dare you ask King Fengcheng how he knows my doubts?" Jing Ke's self-cultivation skills are obviously not as high as Zuo Siming's. After laughing so hard that the corners of his mouth cramped, he quickly suppressed his smile and asked directly .

"Your Highness, there is no impenetrable wall in this world. What's more, His Majesty has no intention of pressuring this matter. What is His Highness's reason for drinking here in the middle of the night? I'm afraid everyone in Beijing who should know will know."

"In that case, tell me, what is it for?"

"Xiao Wang doesn't know the specific reason. This is a royal secret, and people like Xiao Wang can't inquire about it. However, Xiao Wang heard His Royal Highness mention it by chance, and it is said that it has something to do with His Highness's mother and concubine."

"My concubine?"

"Yes, it's about His Majesty's mother and concubine. Don't you find it strange? Apart from the name on the jade certificate, His Highness knows when his mother and concubine will enter the palace, who will serve her, when she will be gracious, and how she will give birth to Her Majesty." , how did he die? Your Highness knows where his mother and concubine lived before entering the palace, and whether there are any relatives at home? Your Highness doesn't know anything, and no one in the palace knows everything about her, not even the one on the jade document. That name, Xiao Wang said something taboo, can His Highness confirm whether the name on the jade document is true or not?"

"Shut up!" Hearing this, the wine bowl in Jing Ke's hand shattered instantly, and a cold light flashed, and the sword was placed on King Fengcheng's neck, "If you dare to talk nonsense, I will kill you."

"Xiao Wang doesn't know the truth. If Your Highness is interested, you might as well investigate it yourself. Xiao Wang has always believed that there is no impenetrable wall in this world, and there is no secret that will always be kept secret. As long as Your Highness is willing to investigate, you will definitely find out." I can know the truth." Zuo Siming glanced at the sword edge on his neck, his expression was still very leisurely, as if it was just a paper toy, "Actually, there is one more strange thing, Xiao Wang has always been curious about it. Over the years, Your Highness Don't you ever find it strange? It's not relative, why do some people treat His Highness so well?"

"Shut up!" Hearing this, Jing Ke's complexion became even uglier, and the palms that were stable before finally began to shake, "Shut up!"

"If it's me, maybe it's because of guilt that I want to make up for it." Even if the sword is resting on the neck, the hands of the person holding the sword are trembling, and if there is a little carelessness, there will be bloody disasters, Zuo Siming still does not change his face. Finished the last sentence.

For a moment, Jing Ke found that there was endless hatred hidden in the smile of the man in front of him, and he suddenly regretted listening to him say these words.
