As a prince, Qianbai needed to be crowned a king, and to be crowned a king also required a land. At the moment, there was indeed no place more suitable than Nanqing.
There is a 90%25 chance that Song Fu will join the cabinet in the future. Seeing the prince's deep love for Wan'er, it will not be a joke to take over the central palace. Now that the Song family is famous outside the country, if Qian Bai insists on staying in Beijing or in Dongning, how can he not arouse the emperor's suspicion over time?
No matter how deep the friendship was, it cannot be tempted like this.
Qianbai has no ambitions, so going to Nanqing is the best arrangement for him.
only……
Song Yuning turned to look at Shen Qianbai, with a layer of mist in her eyes.
She had to follow Qian Bai when he went to the fiefdom, so it would be difficult to see Wan'er and Song Fu again in this life. She hasn't seen her grandnephew and little grandnephew yet, and she really feels sad to see them go.
Holding the handkerchief to the corner of her eyes, Song Yuning said, "I wonder when Your Highness wants Qian Bai to set off?"
Shen Qianyu said: "The faster, the better."
He knew that Song Yuning couldn't let go of Song Wan, but he was worried that something would go wrong on Nanqing's side, and they would only be wronged.
"I understand. Once things are sorted out in the next few days, the two of us will set off."
He had always known that Song Yuning had a neat temperament, but after hearing these words, Shen Qianyu still felt warm in his heart.
He stood up, bent down towards Song Yunning, and saluted: "I will protect Wan'er and the Song family from worries. Auntie, don't worry."
Song Yunning's nose felt sour: "I hope Your Highness will remember what you said today and take good care of Wan'er."
"I will."
Although he is not in the palace, it does not mean that he is unaware of what is happening in the palace. But there were some things and things that he didn't want to say, so he was willing to remain ignorant.
After leaving Changxin Palace, Shen Qianyu went to Taiji Palace to meet with the ministers of the previous dynasty.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returns to Beijing, and the enthronement ceremony should be put on the agenda."
Mr. Luo spoke in a low voice, but Shen Qianyu said: "This matter is not urgent."
He handed the imperial edict in his hand to Ji Rong, who took it and handed it to Mr. Luo.
"Starting from today, the country will mourn for 100 days to comfort the souls of all the heroes who sacrificed for Dongning."
After Shen Qianyu finished speaking, he handed another handwritten letter to several people. Mr. Luo opened it and saw that it was full of transfers of officials from the DPRK and the Central Government, as well as orders such as the Chengyang Marquis Mansion to surrender and attack for a generation.
"In addition, the national treasury is empty. The enthronement ceremony will be held a hundred days later, and the enthronement ceremony will be simplified together."
"Female seal?"
"Um."
Shen Qianyu said: "The position of queen will be chosen from the daughters of Shang and Song Dynasties in the East Palace."
"This...this...this is inappropriate."
All the officials in the Taiji Hall spoke together. Shen Qianyu looked at several people with sharp eyes and said, "If these two people are not suitable, who do you think is suitable?"
Mr. Luo lowered his eyes and said nothing, but someone with quick thinking was secretly plotting. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Shen Qianyu: "If you can single-handedly blow up tens of thousands of enemy generals, your female family members can also become the master." Palace. "
The man's mouth that had just been opened suddenly closed. Shen Qianyu glanced at the few people and said with half interest: "The candidate for the queen is decided to be the daughter of the Song family."
“……”
Still wanting to say something else without giving up, Shen Qianyu clenched his fists with both hands and knocked on the imperial case: "You can still stand here alive and talk nonsense with me. I don't need to say more to whom I should thank."
"If you want to get that huge wealth with nothing, it depends on whether I am in a good mood or not."
After hearing this, all the courtiers did not dare to say anything more.
If you stop her with words again, won't you really become the person the prince said you want to get riches with bare hands?
Therefore, although they were extremely dissatisfied with having the Song daughter as their queen, they could only suppress their reluctance.
"If there's nothing to do, let's all disperse."
After saying that, Shen Qianyu stood up and left, ignoring everyone.
When everyone looked at him, they felt that after the battle at Suhe, the prince was completely different from before.
After the imperial edict of national mourning, the people of the world realized that the imperial court had pretended to surrender before, and that the great men of Shang and Song Dynasty were not national traitors but generous people who served righteousness.
The people in the streets and alleys kept crying, and they spontaneously burned incense and paper for Shang Chong, Song Lan'an and the generals who died in Suhe River. There was a wealthy family member who even funded the construction of a temple for everyone, hoping that the heroes would protect Dongning for another hundred years.
When the imperial edict that Shen Qianyu made Song Wan his queen came out, the people clapped their hands and applauded. And the happiest people are those from Qi Mansion.
When Qi Sulun's mother heard that Song Lan'an had died in Suhe River and the position of queen was given to Song Wan, she smiled with joy and felt comfortable all over.
If it weren't for the national mourning, she would have had people banging on the door of her house all day and all night.
"So, mother is right, right? Marrying the second daughter of the Song family is really a very affordable deal."
Mrs. Qi smiled so brightly that her eyes fluttered, and the golden steps she wore specially on her head flew up. As soon as she saw her, she knew that the joy came from her heart.
"During the national mourning period, my mother is wearing gold and silver and smiling brightly. How is it appropriate for her to do so?"
Qi Su Lun pursed his lips and his cheeks tightened with anger.
Qi's mother disagreed: "So what if it's a national mourning? Nan Qing didn't come to call me either, and..."
Putting her hand on her head and shaking her head, Mrs. Qi said, "There is a huge happy event in our house. Why can't we make people happy?"
"If you marry the second daughter of the Song family, you will be the emperor's sister-in-law, and our Qi family will rise to the top in one step."
"What crazy thing did mother say?"
Qi Sulun gritted his teeth and the veins on his forehead popped out: "Master Song's body is not cold yet, isn't my mother afraid of chilling the hearts of all patriots in the world by saying this?"
"The world can't hear what I, a woman in the house, said, so why should my son be so worried and afraid?"
"Mother!"
"The two daughters of the Song family are definitely not good people."
Qi Sulun said: "Master Song must have known before he went to Suhe that he would never return. With his character, how could he not arrange the Song family properly? And as the two legitimate wives and daughters of Master Song, how could Master Song not stay? A word and a half?"
"But the two of them still hastily arranged their marriage when Mr. Song went to Suhe, as if they were afraid of being tarnished. What does this mean?"
Mrs. Qi smiled and said: "It means our Qi family's fortune has come!"
When Qi Sulun heard this, he sternly said: "It means these two people are either too stupid to understand Master Song's meaning, or they are selfish and fear that they will be implicated by Master Song."
"Then if the second daughter of the Song family is smart and sensible, she should stop her mother."
"Look, mother, these people will definitely regret that they have hastily decided on the marriage, so they will come to my mother to discuss breaking off the engagement. If Mrs. Song comes to look for her, my mother will quickly push the marriage away."
After saying a few words, Qi Sulun felt his eyes darken and his ears buzzing.
All he wanted in life was to marry a wife who was smart and not like his mother, but now fate had made him settle into such a terrible marriage.
Qi Sulun gritted his teeth and thought to himself that if he really married this girl back, the Qi family's strength would be exhausted.
