Turbulent Times Chapter 748: The idea of the backer king
After getting married, although Wang Junlin didn't take Chen Danying on his honeymoon, he still had a few days of insanely lazy and leisurely days.
It was already March in Yangchun, and the spring was just right. He was lying under the ginkgo tree in the middle of the yard, with a book in one hand and a cup of tea in the other. The stars were falling, the breeze was blowing, and soon fell asleep, and then covered his face with the book in his hand that he didn't read a word, and just fell asleep in a daze.
Isn't that what the fairy days are like?
Heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and soon Steward Zhang came in with a letter. The letter was sent by the backer's palace. It was dictated by the old prince Yang Lin and written by Qin Qiong, but it was actually just one sentence Words: "This king has taken in his adoptive daughter, and he has not yet feasted on the guests. He will make it up in three days. In the name of this king, you can handle the details."
Looking at this sentence, Wang Junlin was stunned, thinking that at this time, he was hosting a big banquet for accepting Chen Danying, his adoptive daughter. Could it be that the backer old prince really wanted to celebrate this matter? Speaking of which, it was too impolite not to bring his daughter-in-law to visit the old prince after marriage, after all, the backing of the palace was Chen Danying's natal family, okay, but Wang Junlin forgot this.
While Wang Junlin was full of gratitude to Yang Lin, he also felt very guilty. After all, he took advantage of Yang Lin by successfully marrying Chen Danying this time, and he hadn't told Yang Lin about Chen Danying's real identity. Lin Du trusted him very much.
…
…
In the early morning of the third day, Wang Junlin borrowed the royal garden built by Yang Jian in Qujiang Pond before his death in Daxing City in the name of Yang Lin, the backer king. The nobles from all over the country went boating in the garden together, and had a feast for the guests in the royal garden.
As for the real purpose of the banquet guests, apart from surprising the civil and military officials and dignitaries, they were also full of embarrassment. Everyone knows that Yang Lin, the backer old prince, is getting worse day by day, and they all guess that the old prince wants to rejoice through this incident. The ancients did this kind of thing, the more people came and the higher their status, they thought that the effect of Chongxi would be the best.
On the day of the visit to the garden, Wang Junlin and Qin Qiong stood at the gate to greet the guests. Countless courtiers and nobles were invited. As soon as the sun came out, the gate of the royal garden was already full of guests, and there was an endless stream of cars and horses.
Wang Junlin smiled so hard that his face became a little stiff, but most of the courtiers he invited were Wang Junlin's elders, regardless of their rank. Smile, then bow and salute, exchanging greetings, of course, receiving gifts is not less.
Not long after, a luxurious carriage with four horses and a shaft stopped at the entrance of the royal garden. Looking at the ceremonial flags and banners unfurled by the servants outside the carriage, it turned out to be the patriarch of the Dugu clan, a first-rank official in the imperial court Situ Dugu Changsu Came in person.
I failed to marry Dugu Mingyue, so I have always been a little sorry for Dugu's family, Wang Junlin. Wang Junlin hastily stepped forward and stood respectfully outside the carriage. got the carriage.
Dugu Changsu was dressed very casually today, wearing a black long gown with a round neckline, a jade belt around his waist, and a pattern of auspicious clouds embroidered on his chest. He didn't wear a crown on his head, only a green jade hairpin pinned into his hair.
Getting off the carriage, Dugu Changsu looked at Wang Junlin and snorted coldly, and said, "Well, Wang Junlin, you don't want to be the son-in-law of my Dugu family, but the son-in-law of the backing old prince."
"My nephew pays homage to Uncle Dugu." Wang Junlin and Qin Qiong hurried forward to salute, and explained: "Mingyue is still young, and my nephew has always regarded him as a younger sister. I have never thought about the relationship between a man and a woman. Please invite Dugu See you, Uncle."
Dugu Changsu also asked casually, but Wang Junlin's answer made him very satisfied, and he was very comfortable to listen to. He regarded Dugu Mingyue as a sister, and the implication was that although he did not become the son-in-law of your Dugu family, he could be regarded as a family man!
Thinking like this, Dugu Changsu nodded, smiled slightly, and said: "Today, apart from congratulating the old prince for accepting his adoptive daughter, I also want to congratulate you for becoming the Duke of the county."
Wang Junlin bowed and said: "The younger generation got this high position at such a young age, I'm really panicking, please ask Uncle Dugu to give more advice to the boy, the boy will definitely live up to the grace of His Majesty and uncle's teaching and favor."
Dugu Changsu laughed and said: "You are much smarter than the old man, and the old man can't teach you anything. In a few years, when the old man's generation is old, I think there must be you in the court." A world."
"Uncle Dugu praised..."
The two of you came and went modestly and courteously for a while, Dugu Changsu suddenly sighed, looked at him with deep meaning, and said suddenly: "Looking at your majesty's thoughts, I guess there is no suspense for His Royal Highness King Jin to become the prince of the East Palace. , everyone in the world knows that His Royal Highness King Jin is acquainted with you..."
Wang Junlin smiled and said: "The sacred intention is pending, and my nephew dare not speculate randomly. Whether or not His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin is the future Prince of the Eastern Palace is up to His Majesty to decide, but no matter who the two princes are, King Jin and King Yuzhang He is the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, and my nephew will not have a second heart."
Dugu Changsu said dissatisfiedly: "You are only so old this year, you speak as calmly as those old foxes, and you are as smooth as a loach. You are young, who did you learn your bad habits from?"
Wang Junlin said innocently: "It's all from my nephew's heart..."
Dugu Changsu nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "So, the old man is at ease, you are capable, the old man is looking forward to you making more contributions to Da Sui, worthy of His Majesty's grace, and worthy of the popularity of Li people. "
Wang Junlin bowed his head and saluted, and said very emotionally: "May only Uncle Grandson be the first to look forward."
Patting Wang Junlin's shoulder, Dugu Changsu walked into the garden with satisfaction.
Wang Junlin stood outside the gate of the garden, frowned and carefully smacked the conversation with Dugu Changsu just now. These few sentences were worth savoring back and forth.
Dugu Changsu seemed to have sent a very cryptic signal that he also supported King Jin as the crown prince of the East Palace, or he had seen that it was irreversible for King Jin Yang Zhao to become the crown prince of the East Palace.
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Wang Junlin muttered: "These old guys... are all old foxes!"
Cars were coming and going outside the gate of the Royal Garden, and most of the famous dignitaries from Daxing City came.
After returning to Daxing City from Bingzhou, it may also be related to Yang Su's death. In short, Wang Junlin obviously felt that his status seemed to be raised a lot suddenly. There are many reasons for this, maybe because he did a few things in Bingzhou After all, whether it is to kill Yang Liang or Gao Ying, it is a big deal, and everyone knows how difficult it is to kill these two people.
