The prince of love, the wealth has come to me
Chapter 179: Using Military Power in Exchange for a Granted Marriage
The visitor was Eunuch Liang, who smiled and said as soon as he entered the door, "We are here to report the good news to the General's Mansion."
Jiang asked respectfully, "I don't know what you are talking about, sir, and where your happiness comes from?"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Liang slowly opened the imperial edict in his hand.
All the ladies knelt on the ground immediately.
Eunuch Liang cleared his throat and began to read in a sharp and loud voice, "The Emperor of Heaven and Order decrees that Yuwen Xin, the daughter of Yuwen Che, is gentle, virtuous, beautiful and intelligent, and is hereby named Princess Yu'an. Yue Yu, the prince of Yue Kingdom, has long admired her. It is a match made in heaven, a golden boy and a jade girl. I wish to bring them together and hereby grant them marriage. Choose a date for the wedding. I decree this."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. It was no wonder that General Yuwen, who had won a victory recently and was in the limelight, was given the title of a princess and a marriage was granted.
Some people are envious and jealous, while others are secretly happy. After all, since ancient times, there have been few women who married into foreign countries and had a good ending.
Ling Yueqing sensed something was wrong immediately. The emperor had always been wary of Yuwen Che's military power and had hinted in various ways that he wanted to take it back, but he had no chance.
Now that Yuwen Che has won the battle, he even named Yuwen Xin a princess and formed an alliance with the Yue Kingdom. Isn't he afraid that Yuwen Che will have second thoughts?
No, something is extremely wrong.
Ling Yueqing looked at Jiang and Yu Wenxin, who were also confused, and pulled Eunuch Liang aside and asked, "Eunuch Liang, what's going on? Why is it so sudden?"
Eunuch Liang smiled and said, "My princess, General Yuwen is in the palace now. You will know when he comes back."
After saying this, he bowed and left.
Jiang also felt something was wrong and asked anxiously, "Princess, what's going on?"
Ling Yueqing comforted her, "Mom, it's okay. Judging from the tone of Eunuch Liang, it shouldn't be a bad thing. Let's wait for them to come back."
As she spoke, Ling Yueqing began to clear the place. She smiled and said, "Thank you all for coming to the banquet today. I have something else to do at home, so I won't keep you all here. I hope everyone is satisfied today."
"Satisfied, very satisfied." Everyone said this as they stood up and left one after another.
But when they walked in groups of three or five, they were still whispering and discussing what happened today.
Soon Yuwen Che came back, and Xiao Mingchen came with him.
"Dad, you're back?" Yu Wenxin had been waiting in the yard, so the first thing he saw was Yu Wenche, and he ran over in a hurry.
Yu Wenxin has always been worried. Although she really wants to marry Brother Yu, she also doesn't want her parents to be hurt because of this.
Yuwen Che touched her head and said, "It's so sunny, why don't you go inside?"
As he spoke, he pulled her back to the house. Seeing that everyone was waiting in the house, Yuwen Che turned around and closed the door.
"Uncle, you're back? Hey? Achen, why are you here? You have also entered the palace?" Ling Yueqing asked in surprise.
"No, I just came back from the military camp and came to take you home. I happened to meet my uncle at the door, so we came in together."
Seeing that everyone looked troubled, Yuwen Che smiled and said, "Please sit down. We can talk slowly about anything."
After everyone sat down, Yuwen Che took the initiative to say without waiting for anyone to ask, "You all know about the emperor's marriage to Xin'er, right?"
Jiang nodded. "Why so sudden? My husband, aren't you going to the palace to handle official business?"
"I'm here for official business. Yueyu happened to be here today, so I took the opportunity to arrange Xin'er's life. Xin'er has been away from home for a few years, and now she's of marriageable age."
Ling Yueqing asked in confusion, "Then why did the emperor agree so easily? There should be some conditions, right?"
What Ling Yueqing said is exactly what everyone is worried about.
Yuwen Che smiled and said, "Qing'er is right, but it's not a bad thing. I just handed over the military power to the emperor and submitted a letter of retirement to the emperor."
"What?" Yu Wenxin was the first to object. "Dad, is this because of my marriage? I don't have to marry Brother Yu. I..."
Yuwen Che patted her hands and soothed her, "Don't worry, Xin'er. You've been away from home for many years. You don't know that the emperor has been wary of the military power in my hands for a long time. I have also wanted to spend a few years alone with your mother."
"It's just that I always thought that I could find you if I had some power in my hands, so I kept holding on to the military power. Now that you've returned home, your brother..."
Yuwen Che paused as he spoke, and glanced at his stupid son in the corner with disdain, "Your brother is not cut out to lead troops in battle, so it's better for him to hand over the military power voluntarily. You can also ask the emperor for a favor and grant you a marriage. When you marry him in the future, you will have some confidence."
Although Yuwen Jue felt that his father's eyes were not right when he looked at him, he still agreed with what he said and nodded repeatedly, "Dad is right, I don't want to lead troops to fight in the future. It's more cost-effective to exchange military power for a brother-in-law."
Everyone: "..."
I really don't know whether to praise him or scold him...
Jiang also said, "My husband is right. After I hand over the military power, I won't have to live in fear anymore. That's good."
Ling Yueqing didn't know what to say after hearing that, so she asked, "So, uncle, what are your plans for the future?"
Yu Wenche said, "Xin'er's wedding date has not been set yet. We may have to go to Yue Country for the wedding. I plan to take your aunt with me. After the wedding, I will take your aunt to travel all over the world."
As he spoke, he looked at Jiang, "I'm sorry to have wronged you. You married me and stayed with me at the border for many years. You finally arrived in the prosperous Shengjing, but you still couldn't live a worry-free life."
Jiang was somewhat touched when she heard this. Just as she was about to say something, she saw one, two, or many pairs of sparkling eyes in front of her.
Her cheeks instantly turned red, "Husband, what nonsense are you talking about in front of the child?"
Ling Yueqing immediately understood and said, "Since uncle has made plans, we will leave first and not disturb uncle and aunt's world of two."
After saying that, he pulled Xiao Mingchen away. Yuwen Xin also pulled Yuwen Jue, who couldn't understand his expression, out.
After leaving General Yuwen's mansion, Ling Yueqing couldn't help but sigh, "It's great. My parents, uncle and aunt are all retired. I can go wherever I want to play."
Besides, they are still young, and now they are less than 40 years old. They still have many years to travel around. Unlike modern times, the retirement time is repeatedly delayed, and when they retire, they are old and it is inconvenient to go anywhere.
Xiao Mingchen asked puzzledly, "Qingqing, what does retirement mean?"
"Retirement means that when you reach a certain age, you can stop working and your time is your own. You can do whatever you want, and the government will give you money every month."
