Chapter 674 Jingyu has a chapter. Everyone listen carefully.
The Anguo family all sighed in their hearts:
The Emperor actually used a nunnery to scare away those courtiers and their daughters who coveted Prince Yu!
that's true!
Think of the noble families in the capital who carefully cultivate their daughters, all of whom are wrapped in gold, pearls, jade, brocade and silk;
Feeding with delicacies from land and sea;
Music, chess, calligraphy and painting teach...
Isn't it just to raise a daughter who is presentable and can be used in public, so as to gain benefits for family marriage in the future?
If I take a wrong step today, I will be thrown into a nunnery in the mountains...
Then all the effort and money invested before...wouldn't it be wasted?
That is something that those wealthy and powerful families could never accept.
At the moment, they could only take their daughter or granddaughter back home to temporarily avoid the emperor's anger and His Royal Highness Prince Yu's disdain, and then make plans slowly later.
And their slow pace is exactly what we should be careful about and deal with carefully.
If they are fighting openly with overt schemes, then we are not afraid;
What we are afraid of is that they will use conspiracy and vicious schemes, so we have to guard against them!
Duke Anguo Fu Peng looked at Xiao Jingyu and said, "Your Highness Prince Yu, today, although those court officials hurriedly took their daughters or granddaughters back from Qingguo Temple in Yunxiang Mountain, the matter seems to have come to an end.
However, the old minister thinks this may not be the case.
Perhaps… Mingli’s matter has come to an end;
And in the dark...
As the saying goes, the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop.
Once human greed and ambition arise, they cannot be completely eliminated by just scaring them off.
Now that they have retreated, it is only because they are temporarily frightened by the emperor's majesty and are only temporarily retreating to seek safety.
In other words... they are not retreating, but avoiding the limelight first and then making other plans.
Also, it’s not that I’m overthinking.
Speaking of which, these court officials who were eager to send their daughters to Yunxiang Mountain in an attempt to have a relationship with His Royal Highness Prince Yu...
Actually…their scheming isn’t that deep;
Their plots are still on the surface.
They may just covet the royal wealth and the honor of Prince Yu's mansion!"
At this point, Anguogong Fu Peng chuckled and continued, "Perhaps there are indeed a few rich ladies who really admire His Royal Highness Prince Yu's outstanding elegance and grace, and so they come to the Qingguo Temple on Yunxiang Mountain regardless of the consequences, just to see His Royal Highness Prince Yu and strive for a chance to become friends with him!
It’s just that... as a girl in the boudoir, such a way of doing things... I cannot agree with it!
What this old minister wants to say is that, in comparison, some people who coveted the throne in their hearts and were secretly plotting, but did not take action like those court officials this time, may be more dangerous.
And what they are planning may be more, bigger, and deeper..."
"Your Majesty is right!"
Xiao Jingyu nodded solemnly.
I guess... you've noticed that, too.
Especially since two or three years ago, that undercurrent has appeared from time to time, impacting our Jingyue Dynasty from time to time.
Let's not talk about his intention to expand his power by forming cliques through marriage;
Just Jingyu's marriage was already in his plan, and he has been plotting it openly and covertly more than once or twice!"
At this point, Xiao Jingyu showed a sneer at the corner of his lips...
"Yesterday at the morning court, no matter how the court officials advised your father to revoke the imperial decree granting marriage and cancel the engagement between Jingyu and Yue'er, on the grounds that Leng Xian, Marquis of Qinxing, was convicted and Yue'er was the daughter of a criminal, your father remained silent and ignored them.
Until the court was dismissed, my father did not make a single statement.
So, those smart people wanted to find another way -
While sending the girl to Yunxiang Mountain, he wanted to start with Jingyu;
At the same time, they were planning to continue lobbying the emperor at the morning court session to achieve their goal.
What they didn't expect was that Jingyu would flee back to the capital overnight and suddenly appear at today's morning court.
Jing Yu spoke frankly in front of all the civil and military officials in the court -
This is to avoid those vulgar women who flock to Yunxiang Mountain;
In order to avoid possible contamination and trouble, he returned to Beijing overnight to avoid suspicion.
snort!
At that time, those people's faces changed color, it was so ugly!
For a moment, those people were at a loss, not knowing what to do next.
At this time, my cousin came forward with a memorial at the right time, taking the opportunity to help open the discussion, for fear that no one would mention the abolition of the imperial decree of marriage!
My father was neither anxious nor angry. Instead, he praised those women for their sincerity in devoting themselves to Buddhism.
Proposal: Simply build a nunnery on Yunxiang Mountain, and allow those women to become nuns and practice in the mountains.
At this moment, the court officials were really panicked!
They found all kinds of excuses to take their daughter or granddaughter back.
In desperation, the amount of silver I promised to donate had to be increased continuously until my father was temporarily satisfied.
Not only that, they also had to send silver to the Ministry of Revenue first and get a receipt from the Ministry of Revenue before they could leave Beijing to pick up people at Qingguo Temple in Yunxiang Mountain.
When you go to Qingguo Temple in Yunxiang Mountain to pick someone up, you have to offer the incense money promised in the temple.
Next, he would first send the silver to the Ministry of Revenue, and then go out of the capital to pick up the person;
When the person is picked up, silver must be given to Qingguo Temple.
After my father's actions, my cousin never dared to interfere openly again."
But... is he really ready to stop and stop interfering in Jingyu's marriage?
Ha! How is that possible!
The sinister look that flashed across his eyes did not escape my eyes..."
Having said this, Xiao Jingyu looked at everyone in the room with a serious face...
"My Lord, Madam, the two Masters and Madams Fu, my two brothers, and Yue'er, please listen carefully to what Jingyu is going to say next..."
