Chapter 58: Love
Even Wei Zhubo sighed again and again: "What a trick of fate! Fortunately, the prince arrived in time, otherwise the two of you would have met in the underworld."
After listening to this, Jin Sui held up his chin, narrowed his eyes slightly, and came up with a plan to deal with the Zheng family.
First ask Cheng Yu: "Do you still have your marriage certificate?"
Cheng Yu took out a tattered brocade bag from his chest as solemnly as if he were taking out his heart, and then took out an engagement certificate wrapped in three layers of oil paper from it.
Although the creases were very deep, the handwriting was still clearly visible, and there was a matchmaker's seal, so it was indeed the marriage certificate of the two.
Chen Yunniang whispered, "I still have the engagement token."
She lowered her head shyly and took out half a silverfish-shaped jade pendant from her belt.
After living in exile for more than ten years and nearly losing her life many times, she still tried hard to hide the jade pendant.
Cheng Yu's eyes instantly turned red. He took off his belt tremblingly and took out a jade pendant from it.
The two jade beads were combined into one to form a pendant.
The two looked at each other with tears in their eyes. Jinsui felt that if there weren't so many people at the scene and they weren't so reserved, they would have hugged each other.
Jin Sui asked the others to leave first, leaving only Cheng Yu and Chen Yunniang. He asked Cheng Yu first: "Are you going to marry Chen Yunniang as your legal wife? Will you be together through thick and thin, and never leave me?"
Before Cheng Yu could answer, Chen Yunniang said anxiously:
"How can I, a withered flower, be worthy of being your wife? I only ask to serve you, and be your maid or concubine."
Jin Sui waved his hand to interrupt Chen Yunniang's words, looked directly at Cheng Jin and asked, "Do you want to marry Chen as your wife? Or as a concubine?"
Cheng Yu bowed and said firmly: "In Cheng Yu's heart, Yunniang has long been my wife.
In this life, Cheng Yu’s legal wife will only be Yunniang! "
Jin Sui asked sternly, "Even if she was once someone else's wife? Even if you have to become an enemy of the Zheng family for her?"
Cheng Yu's tone remained unchanged: "Even if it means I am the enemy of the whole world, Cheng Yu will marry Yun Niang! Haha, if the world does not tolerate it, the worst that can happen is that we will die together."
He took Yunniang's hand and asked softly, "Yunniang, are you willing to live and die with Yu?"
Chen Yunniang had already been crying non-stop, tears rolling down her thin cheeks, and she looked like a chrysanthemum in late autumn.
The branches that proudly stand proudly against the frost would rather die with fragrance on the branches than be blown away by the north wind!
"If you don't abandon me, I will follow you through life and death."
Jin Sui once again interrupted the lovers from expressing their feelings to each other and clapped his hands, saying, "That's all, as long as you two are determined, I will help you become husband and wife."
"This side of the Zheng family, I will take care of it."
"Don't think about dying, both of you. Think about how to live in the future and live well.
Make up for the lost decade or so and live happily! "
Cheng Yu started crying too, and bowed deeply: "Cheng Yu, I will obey the prince's orders for the rest of my life!"
Jin Sui helped him up and joked, “It will definitely spread in Yanzhou City that I stole the beautiful concubine of the Zheng family and did not even get Yunniang’s indenture back.
Then Li Heng will definitely mediate. When he comes, we will first file a complaint that it was the Zheng family who stole my wife first and we are only trying to save her."
She called Wei Zhubo and said, "Haven't you always wanted to write a memorial to the court? Write about this incident. The Zheng family first robbed someone's wife and then forced a living person to be buried alive.
The court must investigate the intention to overthrow the Great Xia Dynasty!"
Wei Zhubo hesitated a little: "Your Majesty, this will make things worse."
Jin Sui smiled and said, "We have to make a big fuss! If we don't unite the nobles of Yan, how can we fight them?"
“Send word to Yanzhou City that the Zheng family intends to rebel.
Regardless of whether the people of Yanzhou believe it or not, at this critical juncture, anyone who dares to join forces with the Zheng family is a participant. "
At the same time, he also asked people to secretly investigate what violations of Xia law the Zheng family had done in Yanzhou over the years.
This "rumor" was meant to prevent the nobles from uniting against her so quickly, although Yan Jiu sent someone to tell her to leave at the time.
But Yan Shiyilang's attitude was too weak, as was her friendship with Yan Jiu, which had only lasted one meal.
If the Yan family gets involved, things will be troublesome.
She asked Wei Zhubo to spread another "rumor", no, it was a fact, this one was mainly aimed at ordinary people.
The Zheng family used living people as burial sacrifices, but they were saved by King Li.
King Li said that the people of Yan, even the tenants and slaves of the gentry, could seek protection from King Li if they encountered any violation of Xia law.
In this era where the imperial court was divided into factions, local nobles and powerful families were in power, there were foreign invasions from both the north and the south, and the lives of the lower-class people were worthless.
No one in power believes that if the people unite, they will become a powerful force.
Only Jinsui knows that a single spark can start a prairie fire!
The current King Li cannot win the advantage of the weather or the location, so the only thing he can fight for is the harmony of the people.
As long as she is still the King of Li, she must protect the people under her command, starting with protecting this pair of lovers.
Even though she herself was a single mother in her past and present lives, it didn't mean she didn't believe in love, and it didn't stop her from supporting other people's love! In this era, even farmers who had good harvests for three consecutive years wanted to marry a second wife. The sons of the noble families had three wives and four concubines, and kept singing girls and dancing girls.
There are very few men as affectionate and loyal as Cheng Yu.
She sincerely hoped that Cheng Yu and Chen Yunniang would have a good ending.
Even if God doesn't allow her, she will go against it!
Jinsui discussed the plan with the generals overnight, and the Zheng family was also busy.
However, what the Zheng family is currently busy with is not seeking revenge on King Li, nor is it to snatch back Chen Yunniang, but to rescue Zheng Pengpeng from the tomb! Black Tiger's strength was so great that he forcibly closed the tomb door, causing the mechanism to jam, making it extremely difficult to open it from the outside.
After the anesthetic wore off, Zheng Pengpeng woke up from the dark tomb. When he felt around and found the coffin and burial objects, he began howling to the sky.
That horrified, soul-destroying scream, where was the heroic spirit he had when facing the King of Li? The Taoist priests and monks outside were also extremely anxious, telling him not to scream loudly, otherwise the air inside would run out and he would easily suffocate to death.
The Zheng family was outside, pulling oxen and horses to drag the stone tomb, but they could only make a breathing gap.
Eventually they determined that the only way to open the tomb was to use brute force to destroy it.
But doing so would not only ruin the feng shui, but also dig up the old man's grave! The Zheng family quickly split into two factions, one of which advocated saving Zheng Pengpeng first, no matter what method was used.
The other group insisted that the grave must not be dug up! Anyway, a crack was opened, and food and drink could be sent to Zheng Pengpeng, and then a rescue plan could be found slowly.
At this time, everyone in the city was talking about how King Li had robbed the beautiful concubine buried with the Zheng family and locked the head of the Zheng family in a tomb.
I then heard that the Zheng family had been arguing for two days but still failed to rescue Zheng Pengpeng.
The common people at the bottom of society were all laughing at the joke, saying that the King of Li was worthy of being a prince, as he had once been a crown prince, and that he was blessed with great luck. Of course, ordinary people could not open the door he closed.
The people were all afraid of what the Zheng family had done. Seeing how badly the Zheng family had suffered, they dared not laugh at them in front of them, but they were all talking about them behind their backs.
As for the aristocratic families, they all started waiting for the Zheng family to come for help and go to King Li to seek justice.
This is Yan territory. How can we allow a deposed prince to run rampant here?
