Chapter 133 The scene of falling out with the prince
Zhao Ji was practicing calligraphy distractedly in the imperial study room. He also heard the news about Wang Lin's marriage to the Han family.
From the bottom of his heart, he was not willing to recruit Wang Lin as his consort.
In the current situation, the remnants of Tsai's party are not yet completely clear, and the situation in the DPRK is still undercurrent.
He also needs a confidant like Wang Lin who is good at conquering and fighting to guard the capital. If there is any trouble, Wang Lin's Fuhu Army will immediately attack the king.
But he doted on the girl Maode the most.
In the past two days, he had actually been thinking that although the ancestral system required respect, it was not possible to make some changes, allowing Wang Lin to marry Maode, and granting an exception to allow Wang Lin to continue to serve as the governor of the Fuhu Army and take charge of the military.
However, he just thought about it in his mind.
He knows better than anyone how terrifying and difficult it is to deal with the arrogant officials in the court.
Unexpectedly, while he was still hesitant, Wang Lin decisively took action to marry the Han family, completely ending the possibility of granting him a marriage.
As an official, how could he compete with his ministers for marriage?
This is not only a loss of royal dignity, but also inconsistent with etiquette.
Unexpectedly, Qi State came at this time.
Qi has not entered the palace for at least several years.
"The State of Qi pays homage to the official family, and the official family is in good health."
Zhao Ji forced a smile: "Sister Huang, you haven't come to the palace to see me for a long time. Why do you have free time today? Please take a seat."
"Sister Chen, there is something big going on at home today, so I made a special trip to the palace to report it to the officials."
Qi Guo sat down as he was told and said with a smile: "My granddaughter Han Yan is in love with Master Wang. After signing a marriage contract with three letters and six etiquettes, it takes away one of my worries."
Zhao Ji's lips twitched: "How could such a thing happen? Very good, very good. When they get married, I will also give them some rewards."
"Thank you, officials!"
Qi Guo observed the changes in Zhao Ji's face and smiled secretly in her heart. She really knew this younger brother too well. Even if he was full of dissatisfaction, he would only pretend to be personable.
"Sister Chen, there is one more thing that I don't know whether to talk about or not."
Zhao Ji took a deep breath and slowly leaned on the soft couch: "Sister Huang, it's okay to say it."
"You are already in your prime years, so it's time to choose a consort. My sister heard that the grandson of the eldest son of the Wang family in Sanhuai is eighteen years old. He is talented and beautiful, loyal, courteous and virtuous. He can be a good match for him. If the officials allow it,
, Sister Chen can go to the Wang family in person and talk about this matter."
Zhao Ji suddenly smiled bitterly, but had no words to retort, so he had to decline politely: "Maode is still young, and I want to keep her by my side for a few more years. Her marriage is not urgent. Let's talk about it later."
Qi Guo yelled, but he stood up and said: "In that case, Sister Chen will not disturb the official family. I will go home right away and spread the grace of the official family to the Han family. When Yan'er gets married someday, I will also
I beg the official family to have the Holy Spirit come to us and preside over the marriage between Master Wang and Yan'er."
The princess of Qi retreated calmly.
When she walked into this situation today, she didn't even mention a word about Zhao Fujin, but she got Zhao Ji's promise in just a few words.
In this way, no matter how much trouble Maode makes, he will never go back on his word.
At the edge of the bamboo forest outside Yanfu Palace.
Zhao Huan watched Princess Qi's sedan chair go away and couldn't help but chuckled: "Wang Lin, it's settled this time. This imperial concubine of mine has always been deep in the city and good at calculations. She suddenly entered the palace today, she must be for you and her husband."
Han Yan came here about her marriage, and seeing her beaming and smiling, it can be seen that my father has been coaxed by her again."
Wang Lin smiled and cupped his hands without saying anything.
Zhao Huan suddenly stopped talking.
He thought about it for a long time, then looked around and said, "Wang Lin, from today on, you and I should be more distant, otherwise my father will become more suspicious of you and me."
Wang Lin nodded slowly: "I was about to talk to His Highness about this... If I get too close to His Highness, the officials will certainly feel uncomfortable. In fact, it's not just the officials. Many people in the court have ulterior motives because of this and are trying to add insult to injury.
As the saying goes, it is easy to hide an open spear but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. In order to protect myself, I did not enter the palace to see His Highness before I left the capital."
Zhao Huan sighed, and suddenly out of the corner of his eye he spotted Zhao Ji slowly walking down the steps of the main hall of Yanfu Palace, and suddenly shouted angrily: "Wang Lin, you are so brave!"
Wang Lin said calmly: "I really don't know why Your Highness is angry!"
Zhao Huan shouted: "Come here, take this guy to me quickly!"
Several palace guards immediately rushed over, but looking at Wang Lin, they hesitated and dared not move forward. Wang Lin was so brave, how could they dare to offend him so easily.
Wang Lin smiled bitterly and took the initiative to kneel down on one knee, pretending to let Su Wei handle him. Only then did Su Wei gain the courage to control Wang Lin.
"Wang Lin, I think I treat you well, so I betrothed the Crown Princess's younger sister to you as my wife, but you refused in every possible way. That's fine, but you rejected me and went to meet that Han.
We got married... You, you are so proud of yourself and don't take this palace seriously at all. Do you really think that I can't deal with you?"
"I will kill you today even if my father punishes you!"
Zhao Huan drew out the sword from his waist and moved forward with great force, slashing down with the sword.
Several guards were terrified. Is this prince serious? Just now, they saw the two of them talking affectionately here, and suddenly they turned against each other?
Zhao Huan wielded his sword and struck east and west, making a lot of noise, which naturally alerted Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji hurried over and saw that Zhao Huan actually slashed at Wang Lin's neck with his sword. He was shocked and shouted: "Stop! Prince, stop it!"
…
Zhao Huan was so angry that he saluted Zhao Ji and left angrily.
Zhao Ji frowned and looked at Wang Lin: "You and the prince have always been on good terms, why is the prince so angry today and wants to kill you?"
Wang Lin fell to the ground and said nothing.
A play needs to be performed in its entirety, and it also needs supporting actors.
Huang Kun, the chamberlain's escort, stepped forward and whispered a few words in Zhao Ji's ear. Zhao Ji suddenly understood and laughed: "Wang Lin, you are so brave. The prince told you to kiss you but you refused, and in the blink of an eye he
Go and marry the Han family, no wonder the prince is angry."
Wang Lin said lightly: "In the official family, the daughter of the Zhu family is a concubine, and the daughter of the Han family is a legitimate daughter, and she is also the princess of Qi. After thinking over and over again, I still feel that the daughter of the Han family is more suitable for me, so I rejected the prince and accepted the offer.
When I arrived at the Han family, it was unbelievable that the prince was so angry that he immediately turned against me and wanted to kill me."
Zhao Ji sighed: "You little boy, you still despise a commoner. Even if the daughter of the Zhu family is a commoner, the Zhu family has a prominent family, and a common daughter is worthy of you."
Wang Lin: "But the Zhu family is the natal family of the crown prince after all. If I get married to the Zhu family, regardless of whether I'm a legitimate concubine, it's equivalent to being married to the prince... I think it's inappropriate!"
Zhao Ji looked at Wang Lin deeply, and then laughed and said: "Wang Lin, I really did not misjudge you. You understand my heart deeply and know the right measures. That's all. You don't have to worry. I will reprimand the prince later. This matter is over.
That’s all.”
Wang Lin bowed and said, "I pay my respects to the official!"
…
News that Wang Lin and Prince Zhao Huan had completely fallen out quickly spread from the palace.
Wang Lin disliked the concubine of the Zhu family whom the prince mentioned, and turned to the legitimate daughter of the Han family. In anger, the prince drew his sword to kill Wang Lin, and the two almost started fighting in the palace...
The key point is that the Zhu family members have come forward to speak out. These stories are spread everywhere as half-truths and half-falsehoods, and after many people add fuel to the fire, the plot becomes even more colorful.
Then things got even bigger, and people couldn't help but believe it.
The prince reprimanded Wang Lin in public in the court for not knowing how to advance or retreat, and for being arrogant about taking credit. Wang Lin retorted with neither humility nor arrogance. Official Zhao Ji scolded him before he gave up.
The prince then petitioned to remove Wang Lin from the title of prince's junior master, but Zhao Ji rejected it.
Later, at the royal banquet hosted by Zhao Ji for the newly promoted prime minister Lu Yihao and others, Zhao Huan had a disagreement and chased Wang Lin with a sword in public. How could there be any lie in full view of the public?
As a result, there has been heated discussion that Wang Lin is about to fall out of favor.
Han family dinner.
Han Jiayan, who was sitting on the main seat, felt a little depressed. Just after his granddaughter Han Yan got engaged to Wang Lin, Wang Lin and Zhao Huan turned against each other, which made him feel depressed.
Han Zhi cupped his hands and said: "Sixth uncle, my nephew thinks that the marriage between my Yan'er and Wang Lin is too hasty. At this time, Wang Lin and the prince are turning against each other, and he will be exposed in the future. How about..."
"Not as good as what?"
"It's better to break off the engagement, lest the prince ascend the throne in the future and our Han family will be implicated."
Han Jiayan took a deep breath and looked at the Princess of Qi next to him.
Qi Guo looked calm and said with a slight smile: "My dear nephew, what a great family our Han family is. Now that the engagement has been decided, how can we go back on it at will and make everyone in the world laugh at us?"
"Your Highness, my nephew thinks that just because our Han family is a scholarly family and the home of the prime minister, we need to be more cautious. This Wang Lin comes from a humble background. Although he is in a high position, his favor comes from the official family and the prince. As long as he loses
Favor, the power we have now will disappear in the blink of an eye. If the prince ascends the throne in the future and Wang Lin is convicted, not to mention Yan'er suffering, our Han family will be implicated even more."
Everyone in the Han family agreed.
Qi Guo smiled half-heartedly and looked at Han Yan sitting next to him: "Yan'er, what do you think?"
Han Yan stood up and saluted, biting her silver teeth and said: "Grandma, one daughter is not allowed to have two masters. My granddaughter has been engaged to Wang Lin according to the Three Books and Six Rites. The marriage is about to happen. If she regrets the engagement at this time because Wang Lin has fallen out of favor and power, Yan'er has
How do you live in this world?"
"Okay! Good granddaughter!"
Qi Guo laughed, stood up slowly, looked around at everyone in the Han family and scolded: "You are really short-sighted, you are not as good as my Yan'er!"
"Wang Lin has fallen out of favor? I am fascinated by the lard in your eyes! Let me ask you, has Wang Lin's official title been taken away? Has he fallen out of favor? What a big joke! This afternoon the official is still leaving the palace.
I gave you a jade Ruyi and several boxes of Sichuan brocade, saying it was a gift for Yan'er's wedding. On the day of Yan'er's wedding, the official family wanted to personally come to officiate the wedding, but you actually want to cancel the engagement?"
"Wang Lin turned against the Crown Prince? Did you know that Wang Lin's two beautiful tigers, the sacred beasts that suppress the army, are still kept in the East Palace for the Crown Prince to enjoy..."
Qi Guo's voice became even colder: "Since you are short-sighted and short-sighted, don't make unreasonable comments about the royal family later. Otherwise, if the officials are angered, I will not be able to protect you! Don't talk about this matter again. Who dares to be outside?
If you say that Wang Lin is half-hearted, I will punish you severely according to the family rules!"
"Yan'er, let's go!"
