Yun Zheng couldn't help but sigh when he learned that his biological mother, who had died many years ago, was posthumously conferred the title of Imperial Concubine.
The person who can come up with such a reward is truly a talented person!
Next time I make a contribution, will the reward only be given to Shen Nanzheng and his two sons who have been dead for many years?
Or, get a dog yourself.
Maybe, the court will even reward the dog I raise by making him a Grand Secretary of the White Hair Pavilion!
While Yun Zheng was secretly complaining, Mu Shun had already read out the content of his and Jia Yao's wedding.
At this moment, Yun Zheng felt very unwell.
Damn it!
The old guy actually set the wedding date for himself and Jiayao?
He hadn't even taken a look at the mansion they built for him in the Imperial City. Now, the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household Department had sent people to Sifang County on the outskirts of Fuzhou to prepare a mansion for his wedding.
...
...
And you want her and Jia Yao to hold their wedding in Sifang County?
This old guy actually wants to bring his third son to attend his wedding!
This is too fucking painful!
He was not afraid of what Emperor Wen and his men would do to him in Sifang County.
Even if he goes to Sifang County, he will definitely bring troops with him.
It is definitely impossible for him to go to Sifang County alone.
But the problem is, he and Jia Yao are just husband and wife in name only!
There is absolutely no need to hold a wedding in this case!
Wouldn't it be nice to use the money you use to arrange their wedding to give to yourself?
Damn it!
You're really wasting the money and you're not even willing to spend it on yourself, right?
He really suspected that this was a dirty trick thought up by that sinister old scoundrel Xu Shifu.
Or maybe his cheap father is looking for an excuse to run away to Shuobei!
what to do?
He really doesn't want to have a wedding with Jiayao!
Although his relationship with Jiayao was such that it didn't matter whether they had a wedding or not, he didn't want to torture himself or do something like taking off his pants to fart.
Or... resist the order?
Anyway, I did a lot of things that I should and shouldn't do.
"Your Highness, Your Highness..."
Just when Yun Zheng was daydreaming, Mu Shun's voice rang in his ears again.
When Yun Zheng came back to his senses, Mu Shun said with a smile: "Your Highness should accept the decree and express gratitude."
Yun Zheng's face turned bitter, and he said helplessly: "Mr. Mu, I'm afraid I can't accept your order for the time being!"
As Yun Zheng finished speaking, the faces of the people accompanying Mu Shun changed color, and they subconsciously pressed the hilts of their swords, as if they wanted to draw their swords.
However, as soon as they made a move, several murderous gazes came straight at them.
Feeling that murderous gaze, everyone was suddenly startled and suddenly realized their situation.
This is on Yun Zheng’s territory!
Drawing a sword in front of Yun Zheng simply means that one is tired of living.
But the problem is that they came with Mu Shun to convey the imperial edict.
According to the rules, if they encounter someone who disobeys the order, they will be responsible for arresting that person!
If they don't dare to arrest people, they may also lose their lives.
At this moment, everyone was groaning in their hearts.
They all wondered if they hadn't burned incense to their ancestors for a long time, which was why they had run into this mess.
Mu Shun came back to his senses and quickly advised: "Your Highness, this kind of joke is not allowed."
"It's not that I want to disobey your order, it's just that I really can't do it!"
Yun Zheng shook his head and sighed, "To be honest with you, Chief Steward Mu, I have ordered Princess Jiayao to lead the surrendered Guifang soldiers and Beimoduo's troops to approach the Guifang, and try to force them to surrender in one fell swoop! How can I hold the wedding if Jiayao can't get away to come?"
“Ah… this…”
Mu Shun opened and closed his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
How can Yun Zheng hold the wedding if Jia Yao is not here?
But Yun Zheng’s reason is very legitimate!
Regardless of whether Yun Zheng was making an excuse or it was genuine, this reason was indeed speechless.
Is the wedding more important or forcing the enemy to surrender?
Anyone who has a mental problem knows how to answer this question.
This is really troublesome!
Mu Shun secretly had a headache. After thinking for a while, he stepped forward and held Yun Zheng, "Your Highness, let's talk for a moment."
"Um."
Yun Zheng followed Mu Shun to the side with a helpless look on his face.
Mu Shun whispered, "Forgive me for being so bold, but Your Highness, do you not want to accept the order, or is Princess Jiayao really unable to extricate herself?"
"Both! But the main reason is that Jia Yao can't get away."
Yun Zheng nodded and said, "Jia Yao has indeed led the army to approach the Guifang. Many people in the army know about this. If Chief Steward Mu doesn't believe it, you can send someone to ask."
"this……"
Mu Shun frowned and asked tentatively, "Your Highness, can you send someone else to replace Princess Jiayao?"
"That's basically impossible."
Yun Zheng shook his head. "This is like two armies fighting each other. How can the commander-in-chief leave his post at this time? If we really need to send someone to replace Jia Yao, I'm afraid I have to go there myself..."
Yun Zheng is leaving?
Mu Shun's face was filled with black lines.
What’s the point of Yun Zheng replacing Jia Yao!
How can the wedding be held if he's not here?
Mu Shun was even more troubled. After thinking for a while, he asked tentatively, "The Guifang also suffered heavy losses in this battle. Now there are nearly two months before the time set by the Ministry of Rites. During this time, Princess Jiayao should be able to force the Guifang to surrender, right?"
"Butler Mu, this is not how the account is calculated!"
Yun Zheng rubbed his head, "Think about it, Jia Yao and I are getting married, Beihuan must have someone to escort the bride, right? According to the wedding date set by the Ministry of Rites, Beihuan's wedding escort team will have to leave in half a month! It will also take time for Jia Yao to return to Beihuan's royal court from Guifang! With this calculation, I'm afraid I have to let Jia Yao return to Beihuan's royal court now!"
The speed of the wedding procession cannot be calculated based on the assault speed of the cavalry!
If the normal ceremony was followed and Bei Huan was given more time to prepare, even if Jia Yao set out now, he might not be able to make it in time!
After hearing what Yun Zheng said, Mu Shun suddenly started to have a headache.
yes!
Jia Yao is the princess regent of Beihuan!
A marriage between two countries is a big deal, and we have to do some face-saving work no matter what!
The distance between Jiayao and Sifang County is not closer than the distance between Emperor Wen and his men and Sifang County!
This journey will take a long time!
It is easy for Yun Zheng to receive the order now.
But what if Jiayao can't arrive in time, what's the point of holding this wedding?
"Your Highness, can you think of other solutions?"
Mu Shun's face was filled with worry. "To be honest with you, Your Highness, our court has spent a huge amount of money this year and is under great financial pressure. Your Majesty wants to hold a wedding for Your Highness and Princess Jiayao, but has been unanimously opposed by the ministers in the court. Your Majesty has no choice but to sell the valuable items in the palace and raise money to prepare for Your Highness' wedding! If Your Highness does not accept the order, how can Your Majesty save his face?"
"Is this true?" Yun Zheng was stunned.
Is the imperial court so short of money?
Or is it that the imperial court is trying to show off its poverty?
Should we first give up the idea of asking the imperial court for benefits?
"It is absolutely true."
Mu Shun looked confident, "Besides, the emperor and the crown prince have already left the imperial city! If Your Highness does not obey the order, not only will His Highness lose face, but Your Highness' reputation will also be bad! If this gets out, people will say that Your Highness is arrogant and disrespectful to the emperor and father..."
“There’s really no good way around this.”
Yun Zheng said in embarrassment: "Either postpone the wedding date! Or just do it casually and just go through the motions! If Jia Yao comes alone, it will save a lot of time on the road."
"this……"
Mu Shun was in trouble again.
Postponing the wedding date?
The news of Yun Zheng and Jia Yao's wedding has almost been announced to the world.
It might not be appropriate to change the wedding date at the last minute!
As for just doing it casually, it doesn't seem very realistic.
After all, it is a marriage between two countries.
No matter what, it can't be shabby!
Mu Shun had a headache. After thinking carefully for a while, he suggested, "How about sending someone to contact Princess Jiayao to see what's going on there? I will also send someone to report the situation to His Majesty. What do you think?"
"Okay!"
Yun Zheng smiled helplessly, "This is the only way now..."
