His action was intended to bring them closer, but he also had the consideration of using his sister as a hostage to deepen the bond.
Zhao Muyun's eyes flashed when he heard this, and then he laughed heartily:
"The marriage between the princess and me was already granted by the late emperor. Now that the prince has said so, Zhao couldn't be more pleased!"
"Alright! I'll arrange it right away and marry Princess Yin Yao as soon as possible!" He immediately ordered the guards, "Go, invite the princess over now to meet the prince."
Not long after, Yin Yao, who had been living in the mansion, hurried over.
She got along well with Zhao Muyun's two wives, Bai Ruolan and Huan Naxue, and looked very good.
When she saw her brother Yinji, she was surprised at first, but then she noticed the solemn atmosphere.
Yinji held his sister's hand and told her in a sad voice the bad news that his father had been defeated and his whereabouts were unknown.
But to his surprise, after hearing the news, although Yin Yao looked sad, he did not lose his composure like him. He just shed tears silently and comforted his brother.
Obviously, her previous experiences have made her much stronger.
Yin Ji then said that he would go to Jinyang to inherit his father's will, and begged Zhao Muyun to marry him.
When Yin Yao heard about the marriage, her cheeks turned slightly red and she secretly glanced at Zhao Muyun, her eyes full of anticipation and affection.
Zhao Muyun took the opportunity to solemnly announce: "Don't worry, Princess. Muyun will live up to the trust of the prince and take good care of you."
"Jinyang and I are of the same blood, and from now on we are even more like a family! Zhao is bound by his duty to fight against the rebellion!"
He made a promise in public, and Yin Yao burst into tears.
This time it was a mixture of joy and emotion.
Seeing that the matter had been settled, Yin Ji said, "Since this is the case, there is no time to lose. I will return to Jinyang to reunite with General Xiao Lie, reorganize the troops, and stabilize the people's hearts."
"I hope that after Master's wedding, he will lead the elite troops of Shuozhou to Jinyang as soon as possible to meet up with us and discuss the counter-attack plan!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness. After I finish arranging the wedding, I will immediately mobilize the troops to march south!" Zhao Muyun agreed readily.
Yinji calmed down a little and did not dare to stay for long. He took the hundred guards and hurriedly left Shuozhou and rushed to Jinyang that day.
......
Not long after Yinji left, the atmosphere in Zhao Muyun's study suddenly changed.
Wang Tiezhu delivered the latest secret report: While Xiao Lie was sending people to pick up Yin Ji, another group of people had secretly gone to Jinzhou with the intention of bringing back Emperor Yin Zhao!
"snort!"
Zhao Muyun snorted coldly and slammed the secret report on the table. "This Xiao Lie has a good plan! He invites the Crown Prince and welcomes the Emperor at the same time. Is he trying to emulate the Prince of Jin and use the Emperor as a hostage to control the other princes?"
Fan Nan twirled his beard and frowned, "If this happens, I'm afraid there will be more trouble in Jinyang. If Yin Zhao goes to Jinyang, will the Crown Prince still be able to maintain his position on the throne? Who will he listen to then?"
Han Zhong also looked worried: "General, if the emperor goes to Jinyang, I'm afraid our previous plan will be..."
Zhao Muyun's eyes flashed coldly. After a moment of silence, he said to Wang Tiezhu in a deep voice, "Zhuzi, have Ye Bushou keep a close eye on Jinzhou, especially Emperor Yinzhao's movements! Report any news immediately!"
"Yes! Brother Zhao!"
Wang Tiezhu immediately accepted the order and his followers pushed him away in a hurry.
Only Zhao Muyun, Fan Nan and Han Zhong were left in the study.
Zhao Muyun looked at the dark night outside the window, his fingers tapping the table unconsciously, and the dangerous thought in his mind became clearer and clearer.
Yin Zhao, this foolish and incompetent emperor with a special status, seems to be only a stumbling block in his plan if he is alive.
Perhaps, his sudden "accidental" disappearance is the most beneficial option for the overall situation.
