Chapter 131 Dilemma
Chapter 131: Dilemma
Yingzong is still a half-year-old boy in his usual speech. After watching this drama too much, he also knows one thing, that is, the beauty of adulthood. Now, when Wang Zhen said this next to him, he clapped his hands and shouted, and then asked: "Wang Dacai, is this prince's true statement?"
Jiang Lang hesitated immediately and didn't know how to answer.
It would be no, but it would not take long before, and the incident would be very turbulent the night before, and not many people in the entire capital would know. If the emperor heard these rumors, he would be angry, because it was a deception of the king. This deception of the king was a serious crime and might be beheaded, and this was something that Wang Zhen was very happy to see.
If so, the third prince didn't know how to explain it. And the most important thing is that in Jiang Lang's heart, he didn't feel much about Zi Yu. After all, when they met, they only met twice. Instead, it was Zi Ling. After such a long time of contact, Jiang Lang also had the shadow of Zi Ling in his heart, or he had become accustomed to Zi Ling's existence around him, and this habit, in a certain way, was like it.
For the first time, Jiang Lang was in a dilemma and didn't know how to answer. He had a cloud of words and took a step back and the sky was wide open. However, Jiang Lang currently has no way of retreat, but a three-way road, no retreat, only choice.
Seeing Jiang Lang making a dilemma, Yingzong said strangely: "Are you concerned about the identity of the girl in the brothel of Ziyu? I think it's okay. As Eunuch Wang said, this girl in Ziyu is a strange woman. Although she is in a brothel, she is not stained with mud. Although I have never seen her, she can really guess that this girl is not bad. What else do you have to worry about?"
"That's not!"
Jiang Lang hurriedly said, "I just think that as an official of the court, he should share his worries for the king. This is the duty of his ministers. Moreover, good men should fight on the battlefield and ensure the safety of the Ming Dynasty. How can they be in conflict with their children? Therefore, I don't want to get married yet."
"Not bad, not bad!"
Yingzong smiled and said, "That's how officials should be. However, this dynasty does not stipulate that this official cannot be married, so I understand your intention to serve the country, but this marriage cannot be left behind. The so-called bridal chamber is also considered a small pass. I don't hesitate, I will decide this matter."
After saying that, he flirted Jiang Lang there, turned his head and asked Wang Zhen, "Eunuch Wang, when did you say it will be a good day?"
Wang Zhen laughed in his heart now and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, our family has seen it. Tomorrow is a good day, and it is suitable for marriage."
Yingzong nodded and said, "That's it. Tomorrow, you will arrange someone to go to the Ziyu Girl to propose marriage, and it is my intention. As for Wang Aiqing, you are also ready. No matter how you say you are an official of my Ming Dynasty, don't lose your etiquette."
Jiang Lang felt his head numb, but if the emperor spoke, he could still tolerate himself to refuse. Wouldn't that give Wang Zhen a good reason? There was no way, Jiang Lang could only kneel on the ground immediately, kowtow respectfully, and said, "Thank you, Lord, Long's kindness!" As for his heart, it cursed Wang Zhen's ancestors all over the eighteen generations.
However, Yingzong also wanted to hear what the ministers meant, so he asked again: "What are your objections?"
"I have no objection."
The opinions were relatively unified this time. After all, for most people, Jiang Lang had nothing to do with them. There was no need to object to the emperor's marriage. Seeing that Yingzong was in high spirits, no one wanted to sweep his interest. At the same time, the marriage was proposed by Wang Zhen. Now Wang Zhen's autocracy in the entire court has reached its peak. No one wants to get involved with this issue, so he turned a blind eye and passed by. Anyway, the emperor's marriage was listed first on the paper of the hall, and no one found out that the old emperor had always refuted it.
Many of them have a good relationship with the third prince, but Jiang Lang's previous identity was just Zhu Yuqi's guard, and the relationship between the two was developed in Fuzhou, so many people don't know, and of course, they won't care who Jiang Lang married.
Hearing that the ministers present were the same, Yingzong nodded and said, "Since all the ministers have no objections, the matter is settled. Wang Aiqing, you should go down and prepare."
After a pause, Yingzong continued: "In addition to this matter, there is another thing, that is, I have appointed you as the General of Guards and General Fan Zhong to command the Imperial Guard. I took office today, and it turns out that your 100 troops were also incorporated into the Imperial Guards. Those people are not capable, and I have seen them. If there is anything in the future, I will ask General Fan for advice."
At present, Yingzong was more concerned about Jiang Lang's marriage, rather than the issue of Feng Jianglang becoming an official. Anyway, there are many officials every year, so he would not care much about it here. But this marriage is different. It is rare to encounter once or twice. The last time he gave Wang Zhongshu to the marriage was not successful, Yingzong felt a little resentful. Now it was Jiang Lang's turn, so he was naturally very interested. After he was granted Jiang Lang's official position, he was in a very good mood and hurriedly left after he got off the court.
As for Jiang Lang, I don’t know what to do at this time.
After the court came, although the general civil and military officials did not know Jiang Lang, they saw that the emperor was granted official positions and married him today, so they came to get close to him, but most of them said something congratulations. Of course, the name of Jiang Lang was also changed, and he was called General Wang. Seeing these people congratulations, Jiang Lang could only force himself to smile and return the favors one by one. After all, these are ministers in the court and have a good status and cannot be neglected.
However, most of the people who came to congratulate Wang Zhen. Seeing that Wang Zhen cared about Jianglang so much, they thought that Jianglang was like Wang Zhongshu and was Wang Zhen's confidant, so they tried their best to please him. As for those ministers who were usually disliked Wang Zhen and had some integrity, no one came forward to congratulate him, or said they were disdainful.
Of course, Jiang Lang also discovered this, and he had no objection in his heart. Now he couldn't even cry.
After all the ministers finished walking, the entire hall was surrounded by some eunuchs standing in the hall. Jiang Lang looked back at the empty dragon throne, couldn't help but sigh, and said intimately, "This emperor is really a mess!"
But what the emperor said was an imperial edict. How could this imperial edict be taken back? Now that Yingzong gave the proposal to Wang Zhen to do the matter, it was a matter of being nailed down. Can it be changed? The only thing to consider now is how to speak to the third prince and Jiang Chengzhi.
Jiang Lang walked out of the hall with a little dejected look and was about to go back, but he didn't expect that his shoulder was slapped hard, and then someone laughed and said, "Brother Wang."
Jiang Lang, who was in a state of excitement, was startled by the slap, turned his head and saw that the speaker was Fan Zhong, and quickly clasped his fists and said, "General Fan!"
The person waiting for Jiang Lang was Fan Zhong who was standing at the door. During this period, he had a man missing, but the court had not made up for it. He was naturally very happy when he heard that Yingzong filled Jiang Lang with this gap in the hall. After yesterday's fight, he came down to ask someone to find information about Jiang Lang, and found that this person's origin was quite mysterious and talented. Not to mention anything else, his training of the One Hundred Jinyiwei was also unique. Maybe he had seen it all, but yesterday those people fought against three, and they could see that this training was very effective. He was still worried, but such talent was wasted by the Jinyiwei as a small household, but he didn't expect that he was transferred to his side early this morning. For Fan Zhong, this was simply a treasure falling from the sky.
There were many people around Jiang Lang just now, and Fan Zhong couldn't go in and say hello, so he waited at the door. After Jiang Lang came out, he came forward to greet him.
Now that he heard Jiang Lang calling himself like this, Fan Zhong immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't be generals, you are like me, and calling the general seems to be apart. How old are you? I am so old that I don't dislike you. Just call me Brother Fan."
Jiang Lang didn't care much about the title, and this Fan Zhong was a generous person. If he argued with him on this issue, Jiang Lang would be afraid that he would be unhappy. In addition, Jiang Lang was also straightforward and immediately said: "It's better to obey your orders than respect, Brother Fan."
"well!"
Fan Zhong laughed, took Jiang Lang's hand and walked forward, saying, "Let's go and have a few times more drinks with my brother. Lord Yu has already taken the lead."
Jiang Lang couldn't help but be stunned and said strangely: "Mr. Yu?" Then he followed Jiang Lang's back.
"It's Yu Qian!"
Fan Zhong walked forward and said at the same time: "Now he is the Minister of War."
When Jiang Lang heard that the man was Yu Qian, he couldn't help but feel respectful.
If the two most influential people in the Ming Dynasty after the Tumu Fort incident were one of the later Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu, and the other was Yu Qian. After Emperor Jingtai ascended the throne, many loyal and loyal people who were excluded by Wang Zhen were able to return to the temple and the administration was renewed. At the same time, under Yu Qian's command, the preparations for the defense of the capital began. The grain from Tongzhou was stolen into the capital, and the fortifications around the capital were reinforced. Yu Qian also personally trained the new army and released Shi Heng to participate in the battle.
