Siheyuan: I have broken space

Chapter 423 and relatives

Wang Tingxuan was also depressed for a while. Even Sister Lin's fate had changed. Why didn't the fate of Prince Nan'an change at all?

The imperial court had long reminded the prince of Nan'an County not to be greedy for power and advance rashly. In addition, the power of the four princes and eight princes was transferred to the Nanhai Navy, which indirectly resolved the power struggle in the Nan'an Palace. In addition, the imperial court helped the Nanhai Navy improve its armaments.

Under such conditions, Prince Nan'an could still be defeated and captured. Is he the one who needs to return tears to Qianxiang Kingdom?

Although he knew that there was no undefeated army, Wang Tingxuan was still very unhappy. It was really upsetting that the outcome could not be changed even though he had put in a lot of effort.

Lin Ruhai was equally angry. The imperial army had also carried out some reforms, and the families of those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country would also receive some compensation. This defeat of the Nan'an County Prince was the first time that compensation was paid to the defeated army after the army was restructured.

Many people are watching the emperor's actions. These compensations must be paid. Only by paying these compensations can the army believe in the credibility of the court.

Although the Nan'an Palace has provided compensation to the Qianxiang Kingdom, the compensation for the casualties of the soldiers still requires the Ministry of Revenue to provide this amount of money.

There is another problem. Most of the defeated troops this time were close associates of Prince Nan'an, and they did not necessarily obey the imperial court's instructions.

In this way, the emperor still holds his nose to accept these compensations, and I am afraid he is more angry than others.

Wang Tingxuan and Lin Ruhai were depressed, so they inevitably talked about the defeat in the South China Sea at home, but accidentally they were overheard by Daiyu who came to visit.

Lin Daiyu couldn't help but said: "The prince of Nan'an County is really incompetent. Your Majesty did not treat him differently because he did not hand over his military power. He dared to send troops privately, and if he won, he would pay it back. Now that the army is defeated, he has been defeated.

Prisoners, I don’t know how many people will suffer. The same goes for the ministers in the court. Even though we have not been defeated, we still want to maintain those useless reputations and honors and promise to compensate them. Doesn’t this encourage them to go against the court? "

Wang Tingxuan smiled and praised: "My sister is right. If the two countries are at war and lose, this proposal is also appropriate. Since we are better than them in strength, we should take advantage of the victory to ask for a large amount of compensation and weaken their

Strength is the right thing. If we rely on the magnanimity of the Celestial Empire and forgive these foreign barbarians, when they recover with the help of rewards, they will definitely come back to provoke us. Unfortunately, there are still too few people who have this idea."

"They got their wish, but they suffered a lot for the princess who was about to get married." Lin Daiyu sighed for the princess who was about to get married.

Speaking of this, Wang Tingxuan remembered the records in the book. The Princess of Nan'an forcibly recognized Jia Tanchun as her adopted daughter and went to the Prince of Nan'an to get married. This time, Jia Tanchun would not and could not escape the fate of the marriage.

"Sister, do you have much communication between Rongguo Mansion and Nan'an Prince Mansion?"

"My grandmother has a good relationship with Princess Nan'an, but apart from giving some gifts during the holidays, the girls from the two families don't communicate much." Understanding the relationship between the major aristocratic families is a must for the girls of each family.

Lin Daiyu didn't even need to think about the subjects she was studying, she directly stated the relationship between the two families.

"Do you think Princess Nan'an knows about the girls from the Jia family?" The Xungui family, except for the favored concubines, does not pay much attention to the upbringing of the concubines. The Jia family is the most obvious example.

Only when you are on a blind date will you be noticed.

"I probably don't know. The second sister and the others have never gone out to attend a party at all. People like Princess Nan'an probably don't know about them." Lin Daiyu also had some uncertainty in her tone.

Lin Ruhai suddenly remembered something and asked uncertainly: "You mean marriage?"

Wang Tingxuan nodded.

Lin Daiyu also reacted and immediately retorted: "No way, the eldest cousin is also the empress of the palace, and the emperor's attitude towards marriage is well known to everyone. Even if it is for the eldest cousin, my grandmother's family should not agree to Nan'an

This is the unreasonable request of the palace."

"You are right. As long as the Jia family is not willing, Princess Nan'an has no way to force them. But you must also know that the Jia family's greatest ability is to perfectly avoid all the correct answers. What I am most worried about is,

The Jia family will voluntarily send their daughter away for marriage."

The Lin family father and daughter looked at each other and nodded helplessly. Obviously, they also agreed with this statement.

"Will the uncle agree to let the second sister borrow it for marriage?" Lin Daiyu asked uncertainly. Jia She didn't care about this daughter at all before. Although there was some improvement after returning the owed money, no one was sure of his thoughts.

Lin Ruhai sighed and said: "The candidate for marriage should be Tanchun. Cunzhou is already obsessed with becoming an official. Even if there is a slight possibility, he will not give up."

Not only because of the matter of being an official, but also because Jia She took the lead in returning the owed silver, which offended the four princes and eight princes. If the Jia family wants to restore their relationship with them, this is a good opportunity. Use a daughter in exchange for their own future.

, and with the fig leaf of marriage for the imperial court, Jia Zheng will definitely be tempted.

"Will the Emperor agree that the third sister should be the candidate for marriage?" Lin Daiyu asked with some reluctance.

Wang Tingxuan and Lin Ruhai looked at each other. In fact, it didn't matter who the candidate for the marriage was. The emperor was so full of ambitions, how could he allow such a stain as the marriage? If the four bastards and eight princes hadn't hugged each other too tightly, the emperor would have

The military power of Nan'an Palace was forcibly taken back.

But even if the military power of the Prince of Nan'an was not taken back, the power in the hands of the Prince of Nan'an was greatly restricted. This was one of the reasons why the Prince of Nan'an sent troops privately.

Now most of the troops of the East China Sea Fleet have secretly gathered in the South China Sea, and the army has also arrived at the same time. They want to take the opportunity to counterattack Qianxiang Kingdom after they calm down at home.

When the war breaks out, who will care about the life of the married princess.

This matter is still a secret at present, so naturally Lin Daiyu cannot be told.

"If the Jia family offers a discount, the emperor has no way to refuse." Wang Tingxuan explained.

If Jia Zheng really fails, no one can change it. He is Jia Tanchun's father and makes decisions for Jia Tanchun, and no one can blame him.

The Jia family took the initiative to take the discount, which was already the bottom line of several people's speculations, but Jia Zheng's bottom line was even lower than imagined. Within a few days, the Jia family took the discount. The news also spread, and the three girls of Rongguo Mansion

, took the initiative to submit a confession, asked to serve the country, and voluntarily made peace with Qianxiang Kingdom.

This letter also drove the emperor to a dead end, unable to refuse the marriage proposal.

The emperor was angry and approved the statement, but only gave him a title and no reward.

Jia She was hiding in the east courtyard, eating and waiting to die. When he heard the news, he couldn't help but beat Jia Zheng. The Jia family finally had a chance of survival, but it was destroyed so easily.

"Jia Cunzhou, you intend to cut off the roots of the Jia family, don't you?"

Jia Zheng argued stubbornly: "I am here to share the worries of the imperial court. What nonsense can I say?"

"Share the worries of the imperial court? I think you think we don't die fast enough. You don't even know when the imperial court has been defeated in the past few years, and when it has been soft on those small countries."

Jia Mu angrily scolded: "Boss, you are going to rebel. If you hadn't offended those old relatives, why would Zheng'er send the three girls to get married?"

Jia She looked at the old and decrepit Mother Jia, sighed, and said, "Forget it, I won't care about it. Even if I do, it won't be of much use."
