Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the dude to take power

"I was careful at the time and marked everything I gave away. Your Majesty can go to Liu Yan's residence to check. He accepted a cloisonné enamel grape-patterned rope-ear incense burner from me. It was given to me by the Empress Dowager..."

There is no longer any conclusive evidence that Liu Yan is corrupt.

Instead, he secretly kept the royal gifts.

Even if the Duke of Zhenguo wanted to protect it, it was no longer possible.

Then he began to kowtow, saying that he had misjudged people and began to apologize.

But Liu Yan is no longer able to do it, and he cannot lose the position of Dali Temple Minister.

The Duke of Zhenguo began to recommend new people, but when Furun heard the name, he said with a hint of sarcasm: "The Duke of Zhenguo doesn't know how to judge people, so it's better not to recommend anymore, lest..." What he meant was that your charges have not been cleared up yet, so you should first consider how to clear your charges.

Furun finally looked among the new nobles in the court and finally paused for a moment on Gao Mingyang.

Gao Mingyang is a new generation member of the Gao family. He has experience, ability, and maintains a neutral stance. Because of this neutral stance, he has been suppressed by the Duke of Zhenguo in recent years and has not been able to rise in status.

In the court, every position is assigned to a specific person, and this is especially true for important positions.

Even if the Gao family wants to snatch it, they have to wait for the opportunity.

Moreover, the Duke of Zhenguo was powerful and had been controlling the Dali Temple for the past few years. Even Liu Yan was a complete scoundrel with no real ability. However, because of the influence of the Duke of Zhenguo, he was forced to take the position of Dali Temple Minister.

Everyone dared to be angry but dared not speak out.

But things are different now. The princess is in power, and in the future, the princess will have to assist as regent to a large extent.

Furun called out Gao Mingyang's name.

"Father, Lord Gao is sincere, like a mirror reflecting one's heart; he is down-to-earth, like a rock standing firm on the ground. I think he is the most suitable."

Gao Mingyang was so excited when his name was suddenly called.

He has been waiting for an opportunity all these years, and now the opportunity is right in front of him.

Although he knew that it was not easy to enter the Dali Temple, and that it was uncertain whether he could keep his position, if he lost this opportunity, he would not know how many years he would have to wait before his turn came.

He stepped out and responded without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I, Gao Mingyang, thank you very much, Your Highness, the Princess, for your promotion."

The emperor thought about it seriously and decided that Gao Mingyang could barely handle this job.

"Your Majesty..." Zhenguo Gong was about to refuse, but the people from the Gao family faction stepped out in an instant.

"Your Majesty, I second the princess's suggestion."

"Your Majesty, I second your proposal."

"......"

The people had already expressed their gratitude, and the emperor said, "Since that is the case, from today on, Gao Mingyang is appointed as the Minister of the Dali Temple."

"Yes, I thank the Emperor for his grace."

In the court, the Duke of Zhenguo already knew that the situation was hopeless.

He frowned slightly but did not argue.

He thought to himself, "The Gao family won't be able to maintain their position."

The Gao family naturally understood, but this was a pie in the sky, and they had to do everything they could to keep their position, no matter how stable it was.

After leaving the court, the Duke of Zhenguo left with a sullen look on his face.

The Gao family accepted congratulations from court officials.

Gao Mingyang was waiting for the princess, expressing his gratitude to the princess for her support.

Fu Run said, "Master Gao, the Duke of Zhenguo will certainly not let go of the Dali Temple easily. I wonder if Master Gao can withstand the pressure from the Duke of Zhenguo?"

Gao Mingyang said: "I am not a talented official, but I only have a heart that serves the country and the people, and I don't care about anything else."

"Very good. In that case, I will show you a clear path."

"what?"

"Marriage."

"Marriage?"

"Yes, I heard you have a legitimate daughter, a famous Qingqing, gentle and virtuous, and knowledgeable. She is one of the only two talented women in the capital, and she has made great contributions to the relief efforts in Jiangnan. If possible, how about marrying your daughter to the Prince of Han?"

The Prince of Han is a bird-playing and dog-walking guy who doesn't care about state affairs. How can his precious daughter marry him?

"Master Gao, go back and think about this carefully. After all, not everyone can climb up to the Hanwang family."

The Prince of Han is a royal relative, and he has always stood in front of the emperor. Although he is an idle prince, which royal family does not have connections? If the Gao family marries into the Prince of Han's Mansion, the Duke of Zhenguo will have to think twice before trying to make things difficult for him.

Moreover, between a daughter and the future of the family, the latter is better.

"Yes, thank you Princess for your plan. I will go back now... The King of Han has come out, Princess. I will go and try to get close to him."

Furun smiled. Gao Mingyang was quite sensible.

When the King of Han heard that Gao Mingyang wanted to become his relative, he refused directly as soon as he started.

Nonsense, the Gao family is fighting with the Duke of Zhenguo, why is he meddling?

However, when the Prince of Han returned home, he mentioned this matter to the Princess of Han, and he treated it as a joke.

But when Princess Han heard that it was the daughter of the Gao family, she was obviously stunned, and then became angry.

"King of Han, do you know who the daughter of the Gao family is?"

"No matter who she is, this king really doesn't like her."

"King of Han, Gao Mingyang's daughter, Gao Qingqing, is as talented as Xie Daoyun. The noble families in the capital have described her as a talented woman as beautiful as a flower, naturally beautiful, intelligent, brilliant, charming yet not vulgar, and possessing both wisdom and courage."

The Princess of Han said: "Are you rejecting the marriage? That is a treasure, and it is rare in a hundred years."

After hearing this, the King of Han immediately stopped joking.

He said seriously, "Princess, I'll have to trouble you to take care of this matter."

The Princess of Han rolled her eyes at him.

"What can you do? Where can you find such a good marriage? I heard that the threshold of any Gao family has been trampled down."

"Yes, this is all my fault. It was all because Gao Mingyang didn't explain clearly. If I knew that his daughter and you, the princess, were so talented, wise and brave, how could I refuse?"

"You..."

Princess Han stood up and ordered someone to send an invitation to the Gao family, inviting them to visit the Imperial Forest.

The King of Han said again: "Send a message to Xingchen as well... No, Xingchen is in confinement."

Wen Xingchen threw Xiao Qi into the Xishan camp. Their Hanwang Mansion should have been irreconcilable with Xingchen, but the general Tai of the Xishan camp said that his son had good physique and was good at using military tactics, and was a rare talent.

From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever boasted about his son like this.

And the most important thing is that his son was left in Xishan to serve in the army.

Wen Xingchen introduced a job to his son. Princess Huayang found a good marriage for his son, so he naturally had to remember the kindness of others.

"It's all the fault of the Duke of Zhenguo. Xingchen was originally doing good things."

"I'll take care of Xingchen. She's so young, it's not good for her to wear plain clothes every day. I'll pick out some nice things from my dowry and send them to her. The Emperor dotes on her, and we're her uncle and aunt, so we can't treat her badly."

"How can this matter come from the princess's dowry? It comes from the public. Just give your orders."

"Yes."
