Chapter 129: Foresight
"I will not abandon any of Dayan's people."
When Emperor Yan repeated this sentence, he saw the people's grateful faces and suddenly felt that he might be a good emperor who cared about the country and the people.
The scholars were very satisfied with what Emperor Yan said.
The ordinary people gathered around were even more moved by the words of Emperor Yan, because Emperor Yan said that he would not abandon any of the people of Great Yan.
Many ordinary people were so moved that their eyes filled with tears and they knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live the emperor" three times.
The people of Dayan are the easiest to satisfy. At this moment, they feel that as the people of Dayan, they feel that they are the happiest and luckiest.
Everyone expects Captain Lin to be able to go deep into the Kingdom of Beizi and successfully rescue the people of Dayan.
Prime Minister Wang seized the opportunity and led all the officials to kneel on the ground, shouting: "Your Majesty is wise—"
Although he wanted to stop Lin Qianqian from going to Beizi Country, it seemed that things had not improved, so there was no need to speak out to stop her at this time and make His Majesty unhappy.
The smartest thing to do is to seize the opportunity to flatter someone.
Emperor Yan looked at the ministers and people kneeling on the ground at his feet, and he felt more and more satisfied that he had the country in his hands and was the only one in power.
The smile that he had been trying hard to force turned into a genuine smile.
The people got a satisfactory answer and gradually dispersed.
Emperor Yan turned around and entered the palace.
Ah Er, who was hiding in the crowd, whispered to Ah San, "The young lady is indeed foresighted. She knew that Emperor Yan would not agree to enter Beizi Country, so she arranged for us to encourage the scholars in advance."
Ah San said proudly: "I don't respect anyone in this world except you."
Marquis Guanjun has also returned to the capital, but he did not expect that the Lin family is engaged to the Gu family.
"Mom, I'm going to the Lin family."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
The Duchess's wife looked at her son's back with a smile on her face.
This silly son finally knows how to snatch women. That’s huge progress.
The Lin Mansion is not quiet now.
Madam Gu arrived at the Lin Mansion before Marquis Guanjun. She came to cancel the engagement.
Zhang Hanyan now works in the Hanlin Academy. On her way back from the government office, she passed by the Lin Mansion and heard the maid from the Gu family yelling outside the gate of the Lin Mansion, saying that they were there to cancel the engagement with Captain Lin.
Zhang Hanyan clapped her hands and cheered, "This marriage should have been called off long ago. Your Gu family is a poor family and is not worthy of my sister Qianqian."
Mrs. Yu learned eloquence from Madam Gu and was never at a disadvantage. But after hearing someone nearby talk about Zhang Hanyan's identity, she covered her mouth and remained silent.
Wang was talking to Madam Gu in the hall.
Mother Sun came into the room, whispered a few words in Wang's ear, and told her what had happened outside the door.
Wang's expression changed immediately.
"Madam Gu, the people in the capital say that the Gu family has a very strict family tradition. I thought the Gu family was a good match for a marriage, and I felt sorry for Qian because she lost her mother. It would be best if you could take care of her and teach her the truth after she marries into the Gu family. I didn't expect that the servants of the Gu family would be so talkative outside the gate of my Lin Mansion today."
“Don’t worry, Madam Lin. If the servants are unruly, I will naturally discipline them.”
The Gu family is one of the eight great families of Dayan, so when Madam Gu sat in the main hall of the Lin Mansion, her temperament was just right.
But his face didn't look good.
Just because she was worried about her son's future, Lin Qianqian was really a troublemaker. Why did she have to mess with the Beizi Kingdom? It was said that a group of scholars knelt outside the palace gate, threatening Emperor Yan, trying to force him to agree to lead the army to the north.
If you disobey His Majesty, you will lose your head.
I don't know my own worth, how dare I cause such a huge disaster.
Originally, I thought that the Lin family secretly promised me many benefits, so this marriage was a good deal. But now it seems that this is not a happy event at all, but Cui Mingfu of the Gu family.
The marriage must be called off today, otherwise the Gu family will be in trouble.
Wang still wanted to make amends. After all, in the capital, Madam Gu was the most mean person to her daughter-in-law. If she missed out on Madam Gu, she would never find such a vicious in-law again.
"Madam Gu, you are overly worried. I heard that the Emperor has agreed to march north. He also said that he would not abandon any of the people of Dayan."
Mrs. Gu knew clearly that the emperor's words were just to appease the people.
As a subject, one cannot slander Your Majesty, so Madam Gu did not mention Emperor Yan.
She looked serious, stern and rigid, as if she had been cut by a knife. "...Mrs. Lin, I have finished what I have to say. Today, our Gu family must cancel the engagement, otherwise it will soon be the end of the Gu family. If you don't cancel the engagement, I will tell you the benefits that the Lin family promised me in private, so that everyone can see how the Lin family plotted against their eldest daughter."
Wang was very angry.
Although she knew that Mrs. Gu was very mean, she never expected that one day Mrs. Gu would be mean to her.
"Okay, then we'll call off the engagement."
Wang was very angry, her face turned red as pig liver, so when Madam Gu left, Wang did not stand up to see her off, but just kept rubbing her temples with her hands.
Feeling a severe headache.
Lin Qingyun spent too long outside the palace during the morning court today, and was starving when he returned to the Lin Mansion.
He resented those trouble-making scholars in his heart. They were making trouble and causing him and a group of ministers to starve.
Lin Qingyun sat down at the table and was very angry when he found Wang sitting there in a daze.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and prepare a hot meal for me."
Wang was unhappy and wanted to bite anyone she caught.
"I acted foolishly because of your precious daughter, a girl, who insisted on going to war, and now she said she wanted to go to Beizi Country. His Majesty said that he would not give up any of the people of Dayan. If she fails to save the people, the entire Lin Mansion will be buried with her."
Wang gritted her teeth and said, "Don't you think about it? Is she really going to a place as horrible as Beizi? She will definitely die without a burial place."
The three words that Lin Qingyun is most afraid of hearing now are Lin Qianqian.
That was his calamity star; even hearing his name would bring bad luck.
Lin Qingyun was also very angry, but he had no place to vent his anger, so he could only vent it on Wang.
"When others return home, their wives will immediately prepare hot tea and hot meals, but your place is so cold, it doesn't feel like home. It's better not to go back to this place."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Wang came to her senses and felt even more sad when she thought about the injustice she had suffered.
Today, I have been bullied by outsiders and scolded by my own husband. How can this be a life for a human being!
Wang lay down on the table and cried loudly.
At this time, someone reported that Guanjun Hou had arrived.
It was strange. She heard that Marquis Guanjun had just arrived in the capital last night and he probably hasn't recovered yet, so he rushed to her.
Wang quickly tidied herself in front of the mirror and went to meet the guest.
You have to know that Guan Junhou is not someone you can easily mess with.
One unhappy moment could overturn the entire Lin Mansion.
That kid is the current emperor's dear cousin and the Queen Mother's most beloved descendant from her family. We can't afford to offend him and we can't beat him.
