Turbulent Times Chapter 741: Forced marriage
"That's true, but I wonder if Wang Junlin will agree?" Empress Xiao still felt that the emperor took it for granted.
Yang Guang smiled and said, "Why would Wang Junlin not agree? I don't think it's too late for him to be happy."
…
…
"Wang Junlin, are you convicted?" Yang Guang asked coldly with a deliberately sullen face.
Wang Junlin was taken aback, not knowing what had happened, and hurriedly said with a panicked face: "I am panicked, what crime have I committed?"
"Did you ever belittle my cousin Dugu Mingyue?" Yang Guang said pretending to be angry.
Wang Junlin felt a little guilty, but he could never admit this kind of thing, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I once saved Dugu Mingyue, and I had skin relatives in an emergency. There may be some misunderstandings in this, but I never underestimated Dugu Mingyue. "
Yang Guang suddenly laughed and said: "Aiqing is now my Duke of Sui County, and I have not yet married, I think it is not appropriate. I want to add Mingyue as the name of the princess, and marry into Qing's family..."
Wang Junlin wondered in his heart: "Could it be that my marriage is really moving today. At home, Pei Shiju is the matchmaker for Su Wei's daughter. Now that the emperor summons him, he is still the matchmaker."
"Your Majesty, how can a humble minister be worthy of Dugu Mingyue? I dare not obey the imperial edict."
Yang Guang lowered his face and shouted: "You have already admitted that you have a physical relationship with Dugu Mingyue just now. If you don't marry Mingyue, how will you let Mingyue marry?" He is in a good mood these days, so he deliberately teases Wang Junlin.
Wang Junlin groaned secretly, and hurriedly said: "At that time, I had no choice but to save people. This is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding... Please be aware of it, Your Majesty."
"You've already admitted it yourself, so what else do you need to know? Mingyue was born noble, and she was named princess by me. Is there anything not worthy of you?"
Wang Junlin bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, Princess Mingyue has a noble background, has both virtue and knowledge, and is both talented and beautiful. How can she not be worthy of a humble minister. It's just that the humble minister cannot be compared."
"It's nonsense, could it be that there is another beautiful woman in Qing's heart?" Yang Guang knew that there was a woman in Wang Junlin's house, but he had always regarded it as Wang Junlin's concubine. Seriously, after all everyone knows that Wang Junlin was never married.
Wang Junlin hesitated for a while, and said to Yang Guang: "Your Majesty, I dare not hide the truth. I have a marriage contract."
"Huh?" Yang Guang was stunned.
Knowing that the emperor would not believe it, Wang Junlin said in detail: "Before I was born more than three years ago, I had a marriage contract with a woman. This woman is the current mistress of my family."
"What is the origin of the girl in your family? I heard it's just a Jianghu girl?" Yang Guang's face really sank this time, "No, how can a Jianghu girl be worthy of the Qing family?"
"Your Majesty, the subject's marriage contract was appointed by the subject's deceased master, and the teacher's order is hard to violate. Please allow your Majesty to grant it. Besides, the subject is trusted by Your Majesty. Now that you have become the Duke of the county, how dare you despise the family and do such a shameful thing?" ?” Wang Junlin began to raise the truth.
"Even in that poor family, we have to say that we are well-matched. What's more, Qing is my Duke of the Sui Dynasty, a minister of the court. A woman designated by your master can be a concubine. If it is Qing's wife, she must marry a famous family." daughter." Because of his mother, Dugu Jialuo, and because the Dugu family never got involved in the army, Yang Guang trusted the Dugu family very much, and he was worried that Wang Junlin would marry other nobles, so he wanted Wang Junlin to marry Dugu. A powerful marriage.
Wang Junlin smiled and said: "Thank you for your kindness, this minister is a barbarian from Fangwai, so it's not wrong to be born with Dugu Mingyue."
Yang Guang was stunned, and couldn't help laughing: "Well, you Wang Junlin, you have plotted against me. You go back and think about it. It seems that I need to find a good matchmaker. Anyway, your family That woman is not in the right family, that is absolutely impossible."
Wang Junlin didn't expect to make too many contributions. He was so troublesome to become Duke of Sui County and marry a wife. Although Dugu Mingyue is the top choice in the world regardless of his appearance or family background, he is no worse than a princess, but he has no feeling for Dugu Mingyue. Wang Junlin, who comes from later generations, values love and feelings very much.
Wang Junlin returned home with a depressed face, Pei Shiju was still drinking tea and waiting, and he couldn't help being stunned when Wang Junlin said about the face saint.
Pei Shiju was thoughtful. He was good at guessing the emperor's mind, so he immediately understood Yang Guang's thoughts, so he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Since your majesty wants to marry the good nephew, Su Wei's daughter and good nephew deserve it." If there is no marriage, the old man will leave first."
As soon as Su Wei left, Wang Junlin and his confidants stepped forward. After Wang Junlin explained the situation, Wei Ziqi asked, "What do you think, Lord?"
Wang Junlin shook his head, he couldn't make up his mind, so he kept silent.
Wei Ziqi hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what Su Wei's daughter is, if she marries Dugu Mingyue, she will definitely be a virtuous housemate to your lord in the future." The relationship with the Dugu clan became even closer, and it was said that the emperor trusted the Dugu clan very much, which invisibly made the emperor trust Wang Junlin a little more.
As the normal thinking of men in this era, other people more or less have the same thinking. Regarding the meaning of women, although Chen Danying and the others have seen each other's martial arts, but they don't know Chen Danying's origin except Shen Guang. In their eyes, she was just a beautiful and powerful woman. But Dugu Mingyue is obviously a more tempting existence than Chen Danying. In their opinion, marrying Dugu Mingyue would strengthen Wang Junlin's position. Seeing Wei Ziqi speak out first, the others immediately nodded in agreement.
The attitudes of his confidants towards women made Wang Junlin, who came from later generations, feel a little uncomfortable. Others are fine, but Wei Ziqi, who used to think that this person is just a Jiang Hu, unexpectedly since he defected to Wang Junlin, and after Ye Ying took care of the martial arts guild under the leadership of Nie Xiaoyu, his strategy and mentality have improved a lot , but more and more cold and realistic.
Shen Guang knew the details of Chen Danying, and he was the first person to follow Wang Junlin. He knew that Wang Junlin had a deep affection for men and women. Many things cannot be seen in the "ghost eyes". If there is Dugu Mingyue, many things will be inconvenient. Thinking of this episode, Shen Guang had a different idea, and said immediately: "Miss Chen and the public The family of the Lord is indeed a problem, but this problem, the Lord does not need to worry, the Lord will find someone to help, and the emperor and the people of the world will have nothing to say."
