Jiang Lu really didn't know about these things. Not to mention that Jiang Wu was going to get married, he didn't even know that Jiang Lu was the original marriage partner.
"Are you telling the truth?" Jiang Lu grabbed Song Qi's arm, and Song Qi raised an eyebrow: "You really don't know about this? This is your biological sister, and everyone in the capital knows about it."
Jiang Lu didn't say anything for a while. He returned to Beijing not long ago, and he wasn't even very familiar with the affairs in the mansion, because the relationship within Pingxuanhou's mansion was really not close. After returning to Beijing, he didn't know much about the affairs in the mansion. He only knew that
Jiang Lu was weak, his father had always been cold-tempered, and he had never even seen the two aunts.
Song Qi didn't want to break up with him anymore, so she asked for her earrings back and left.
…
Fu Heng left the eldest princess's mansion and the carriage was heading towards Beizhen Fusi when someone suddenly stopped the sedan.
The guard stepped forward to negotiate. After a moment, he turned around and opened the curtain of the carriage. "Sir, the person who stopped the carriage was someone from the Minister of Rites' Mansion. He said that the Minister of Rites would like to see you."
Fu Heng frowned: "Du Shuli?"
The man stretched his neck and said: "Master Fu, thanks to you for rescuing my young lady, our master wants to express his gratitude in person this time."
Fu Heng refused without thinking: "It is Jin Yiwei's job to solve the case and redress the injustice. There is no need to thank you."
The man seemed to have expected that Fu Heng would refuse, and said: "But my lady has something to tell you, saying it is related to the legitimate daughter of Marquis Pingxuan."
After being silent for a long time, Fu Heng sighed lightly, nodded and said: "Then go to Shangshu Mansion."
Recently, the entire court's attention has been focused on Prince Ping and Prince An.
The prince was banned and deposed more than ten years ago. Among the many princes, only Prince An and Prince Ping had the power to compete for the throne. It was possible for the emperor to be lazy and not even go to court for half a month. Du Shuli was originally
I was hoping that by relying on Du Yuerou to enter the palace and serve the emperor, she would gain the reputation of being a concubine, but in the end something big happened to Du Yuerou.
All of this has nothing to do with Jin Yiwei - Jin Yiwei is loyal to the emperor and never participates in party politics. However, the current commander of Jin Yiwei, Fu Heng, has relatively complicated interpersonal relationships in the court. His mother is the emperor's favorite.
Little sister, after Your Majesty ascends the throne, she will naturally become the eldest princess. Her father is the hereditary Duke of the country. Even if he is not the commander of the royal guards, he is still the prince's son.
The wife of Du Shuli, the Minister of Etiquette, had a handkerchief relationship with the eldest princess many years ago. Later, she got married and the relationship between the two became weaker, but it was not as bad as Molu. In the past, the two even joked that they would marry each other.
Let the two families get married, but no one expected Fu Heng's character to be so unpredictable. Even the biological mother of the eldest princess often couldn't understand his thoughts.
It was precisely because of this relationship that the eldest princess initially thought about asking Du Yuerou to be her daughter-in-law. Unfortunately, she was soon reminded by her husband and son that the relationship between the Du family and Prince Ping was very special.
As usual, it is better not to let this muddy water flow.
Fu Heng arrived at the Shangshu Mansion soon, and his servants led him in. Du Shuli, the Minister of Rites, was sitting in the main hall waiting for him. Fu Heng stepped forward and said lightly: "Master Du, what are you doing today?"
Du Shuli is a scholar, and even his face does not have the traces of years of service like ordinary generals. He sat there with his eyelids drooping slightly, but his words still had a fatherly look: "Master Fu, you don't have to
I am cautious, I just want to say thank you today, and I have something to discuss with you by the way."
Fu Heng nodded.
Du Shuli sighed and said: "You also know about Yuerou. I had known that you were unwilling to marry her, so I wouldn't have forced you to marry her. I heard from Yuerou two days ago that you have some relationship with the legitimate daughter of Marquis Pingxuan?
"
Fu Heng frowned and his voice became colder unconsciously: "It's just that before she got married, she worked as a widower in Beizhen Fusi, so she was a bit like a colleague."
"It is advisable to work as colleagues..." Du Shuli chewed on these four words and felt very funny in his heart. He couldn't help but said: "You, Fu Heng, also know how to talk about the things you should do as colleagues?"
Fu Heng was known throughout the court to be the most moody person.
In the early years, some people thought he was domineering, saying that he relied on his parents and was arrogant. But later, it turned out that Fu Heng had the ability to be domineering. At the age of eighteen, he led the army on an expedition and became famous in the first battle. After returning to Beijing, he took charge of the Jinyi Guards.
In the past few years, Jin Yiwei's power has been brought into full play. He was already in his weak years, but the backyard was empty. In the early years, some people wanted to get what they wanted, so they gave him dancing girls and beauties, and they were afraid that he wouldn't like them. All kinds of beauties
They were all caught, but it was a pity that they were not drunk at all after a long drink, and the dozens of beauties they arranged were of no use at all.
The most famous incident was when the youngest son of the old Jinyiwei team made a mistake and injured someone by riding a horse in the street. This incident happened to fall into the hands of Fu Heng, who had just taken office. The old team thought that Fu Heng was the new one who took over the Jinyiwei team, no matter how big a person was behind it.
His backer did not dare to be so blatantly disrespectful of his feelings. At first, he wanted to use money as a bribe. Unfortunately, he was the son of the eldest princess and a serious relative of the emperor. How could he value that little money?
The old man thought of a way. He deliberately lured Fu Heng to his other courtyard, but put poisonous drugs and a barbarian dancer in the other courtyard. He thought that Fu Heng would be unable to control it, and he would
The dancing girl had a good time, but who knew that not only was she calm, but she even "accidentally" used all her old martial arts skills.
Later, the son of the old tribe was still sentenced as he should be, but the old tribe was found out about many corruption cases, and the whole family was sent to prison together.
At this point, no one dares to use the so-called "colleagues' favor" against Qiao anymore.
Many people in the court knew about this matter. Fu Heng was not known for his beauty, and this is where his reputation for being selfless came from.
Du Shuli never dreamed that this day would come to pass - Fu Heng said sincerely, "It's a good idea to express my gratitude to my colleagues."
Do you, Fu Heng, care about that stuff?
Du Shuli waved his hand and said calmly: "The Holy One asked me to prepare for the envoy from Beirong to come to court next month. The second prince of Beirong wants to marry Princess Daye. The Holy One said that the legitimate daughter of Marquis Pingxuan should go."
Fu Heng has known about this for a long time, so it is not surprising. It has been settled for at least half a year.
Unexpectedly, Du Shuli said next: "In order to prevent his adopted daughter of more than ten years from going to Beirong and suffering, Marquis Pingxuan took it upon himself to ask Your Majesty to change the marriage partner from Jiang Lu to Jiang Wu."
Fu Heng paused, his eyes darkening slightly.
He looked at Du Shuli's half-smiling face, said nothing else, and suddenly stood up: "Thank you, Mr. Du. I'll take my leave first."
