Chapter 288 First-hand Information
The six people in the room were clearly divided, Jiang Xinyu and Xiao Yuan sat on one side of the table and Yu Sheng sat on the other side.
The two sons of the Yu family stood behind Yu Sheng, one on the left and one on the right, protecting Yu Hui.
Jiang Xinyu felt that at least the second branch of the Yu family had a good family tradition, which was completely different from the foul atmosphere of the first branch of the Yu family.
When the other party had the upper hand, Yu Sheng did not beat around the bush and asked the other party bluntly about his identity and what he was doing in the general's mansion.
He was not stupid. Since the other party did not kill his entire family right away, it meant there was room for negotiation.
Then just make your conditions clear. To him, nothing is more important than the lives of his family.
He was not a power-hungry person. The reason he refused to hand over the military power was that he was afraid that the imperial court would kill him immediately.
However, if the imperial court had such an expert who could destroy his clan but did not take action, it would show that he was a mean-spirited person.
He could cooperate with the court to incorporate the Bashu army, as long as his children were spared and he was allowed to commit suicide to prevent future troubles.
Fathers like Yu Sheng are rare in Dajin.
No wonder Yu Hui, a time traveler who came along halfway, treated him as his real father and was willing to take the risk of marriage.
Jiang Xinyu chuckled when she saw the other party's bitter and vengeful look.
"General Yu, don't be so nervous. You can see that with my kung fu, it's not difficult to kill someone.
Therefore, you can trust that we are sincere.
The reason I sneaked into your house was to understand what kind of person the general is.
Honest people don't speak in secret.
Now that the Great Jin and the Quanrong are about to go to war, people like you who hold a large military force and whose family has been involved in rebellion must be guarded against.
I originally wanted to just kill him and be done with it, but my husband said that the general was a rare and honest man, so we didn't do it.
The court is in need of talent right now, and we don’t want to lose a single pillar of support unless it is absolutely necessary.”
Yu Sheng smiled wryly and bowed, "Thank you very much, Mr. and Mrs. Xian for your compliment. I am unworthy of it.
Yu had been stationed in Bashu for decades and had long regarded this place as his home. He would not start a war even for the sake of the common people.
I had no prior knowledge of the Second Prince's rebellion. If I had known, I would never have supported him in such a heinous act.
My eldest brother...
Although I regret it, rebellion is a serious crime and he deserves it the most. I have no grudge against the court."
Jiang Xinyu waved her hands, "That's not necessary, just curse when necessary and complain when necessary, just know who should be cursed.
The first branch of the Yu family was purely implicated by the second prince. If you don't have the heart to scold your own nephew, then scold the third prince and Zhang Zhongyi.
You must have read the court bulletin. As a person involved, I can share some first-hand information with you.
The imperial court's documents were all beautified. What I said on the spot was more detailed than theirs.
To put it bluntly, this matter was Zhang Zhongyi's plan to take advantage of the situation by stalking the cicada while the oriole was waiting behind.
Who would have thought that your silly nephew would cooperate so well? I even suspected that the one who gave him the advice was the nail that Zhang Zhongyi buried next to him.
The Third Prince fell for Wangyou's trick and the old Emperor believed it. He scolded the Second Prince and banished Consort Xiangui to the cold palace.
The second prince was afraid that if he spread the prince's secrets, he would be instigated to rebel.
Your eldest nephew killed many people in the harem, especially after he wiped out the crown prince's family, the third prince came out to take advantage and killed the second prince as well.
Then the fourth prince, Prince An, and Prince Dongchang Qin came to rescue him.
In fact, the Jin family was fighting for the throne. The eldest son was killed by the second son, the second son was killed by the third son, and the third son was killed by the fourth son.
Then the fourth prince did not want the throne and gave it to the eighth prince and became the regent himself.
Perhaps the emperor was afraid that his fourth son would protect his eighth son, so he made my husband a marquis of Zhenguo.
This is all the inside story of the transfer of the throne in the imperial court."
"Wait a minute, your husband is... the Marquis of Zhenguo"
Yu Sheng already knew about all that Jiang Xinyu was talking about.
What he cared about most was that she had inadvertently revealed that she was the wife of the Marquis of Zhenguo.
When Xiao Yuan saw that his wife had told him the truth, he stopped trying to hide it. He took off the disguise on his face and nodded to Yu Sheng.
"Long time no see, General Yu."
"It's really you!"
Yu Sheng suddenly smiled bitterly when he saw that it was Xiao Yuan.
"The imperial court really thinks highly of me, and is willing to employ a great Buddha like you.
This is Madam Hou.
How sorry I am!"
"It's okay, I'm easy to talk to."
Jiang Xinyu waved her hands nonchalantly, "I came to your house for no other reason than to see if you have any intention of rebelling.
I didn't say anything nonsense just now. My wife has praised you a lot."
Yu Sheng was not really used to Jiang Xinyu's casual chatting style. He would rather speak in official language with Xiao Yuan.
But this Dongchang Supervisor seemed different from what he remembered, and seemed to be not doing his job properly.
You, a state marquis, are discussing whether to rebel with me, a frontier official. Why don't you ask?
How come your wife says everything and you still write all over her face: My wife is awesome, and everything my wife says is right? What does that mean?
It seems like everyone is strictly controlled by their wife and loves her dearly.
When my wife was still alive, I never treated you so shamefully.
Yu Hui felt relieved when she saw her father confirmed that Jiang Xinyu was really the wife of the Marquis of Zhenguo. But when she looked up, she saw her fellow villager calling her.
"It's fate, your daughter and I hit it off right away and became sworn sisters, so by that count, we're relatives.
Family members don't talk behind each other's backs. General Yu is also very clear about the Yu family's current situation.
Now there is an idea that has the best of both worlds and all four corners. Of course, whether it will work or not depends on what you think. "
Yu Sheng had never thought that Xiao Yuan's wife would be so familiar. Seeing that his daughter seemed to know Jiang Xinyu's identity, he hesitated and bowed.
"Madam Hou, please feel free to speak."
Jiang Xinyu didn't beat around the bush and directly told Yu Sheng the same words she had said to Yu Hui after embellishing them.
In her story, Jin Zekang is not a sharp-tongued, petty-minded, shameless, and deep-hearted traitor.
He is just a noble regent with a gentle temperament, handsome appearance, courage and strategy.
Not only does he look good but he also has a good temper. Not only does he have a good temper but he also has a high position. Not only does he have a high position but he is also smart. Not only is he smart but he also has money.
The only regret of such a talented young man who possesses so many advantages is that he does not have a virtuous wife.
Jiang Xinyu straightened her back confidently when she said this.
"Don't listen to the gossip in the court that our two families are at loggerheads. In fact, we have a pretty good relationship privately.
He knew that I had good taste, so he asked me to find him a wife. I fell in love with your Xiaohui at first sight.
If you don't have any objections, let's settle this matter. If Xiaohui becomes the Regent Princess, are you still afraid of being punished by the court?"
Yu Sheng stood up in shock after hearing Jiang Xinyu's cannon-like words.
What the hell has been decided?
What to decide
Not to mention that given his family background and current situation, his daughter does not meet the standards of a regent princess.
For example, what the Regent said before, that you have good taste and he asked you to find a wife for him, is pure bragging.
If you have good taste, can you choose Xiao Yuan?
I don't understand Jin Zekang. I don't understand this living King Yan.
You don't feel guilty when you say you have good taste.
