Chapter 675: Struggle for Power and Profit
When the Anguo family heard Xiao Jingyu say this, their already serious faces became even more solemn.
Duke Anguo Fu Peng nodded solemnly and said, "Your Highness Prince Yu, please speak!"
Xiao Jingyu looked at everyone present and said, "Because Qinxing Marquis Leng Xian was convicted, Yue'er's status as the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's mansion no longer exists.
Then, the person to be married to in the imperial decree that my father wrote personally no longer exists.
For some people, this was another opportunity to plot for the position of Prince Yu's wife.
As the Duke said before, those who are merely greedy for the royal honor and wealth are not a cause for concern.
Their greed and actions are on the surface;
The people you should be most wary of are those who have ulterior motives and are secretly plotting, but are able to keep their composure at this time and have not made any moves so far.
The current situation is:
Some people wanted to take advantage of the three days when the Duke and the two Masters Fu were not in the court to persuade the emperor to revoke the imperial decree of marriage.
Cancel the engagement between Jingyu and Yue'er.
At the same time, they knew that Jingyu went to the Qingguo Temple on Yunxiang Mountain with the Anguo Mansion, so they sent their daughter to the Qingguo Temple on Yunxiang Mountain as well...
I want them to entangle this king by any means necessary.
But they didn't expect that when those women came, Jingyu left overnight to avoid suspicion.
This makes the trip to Yunxiang Mountain for those so-called noble ladies meaningless and even a joke!
What these people did was like a ridiculous farce!
In fact, it is nothing to worry about.
However, the most dangerous people are those who are lurking in the dark and watching from time to time.
Now, the so-called advice of the court officials was obviously ineffective, and the emperor simply ignored it;
And those so-called noble ladies who were sent to Qingguo Temple in Yunxiang Mountain had already returned in a dishevel.
These people's plans have temporarily failed.
Next, I'm afraid it's time for those people who are secretly watching to take action!"
“I also think…
Taking advantage of the destruction of Marquis Qinxing's Mansion, we can use the opportunity to force the Emperor to cancel the engagement between His Royal Highness Prince Yu and Yue'er and abolish the imperial decree granting the marriage. The turmoil will not end just because these so-called noble ladies leave Qingguo Temple, and everything will be able to return to peace again.
On the contrary, perhaps this is a sign that another bigger storm is already brewing;
Or maybe... this storm is coming!
A caring person would never just watch an engagement that he doesn't want to exist still exist;
He also doesn't want to see everything he wants to control lose control;
What he hoped even more was to see the imperial decree granting marriage written personally by the current emperor become a piece of waste paper!
Because that would undoubtedly be a great harm to the emperor's dignity!
The emperor's handwritten edict can easily become waste paper;
The emperor's golden words can easily become empty talk;
From now on, the people of this world will be very respectful to every imperial decree issued by the emperor;
For every word the Emperor said;
Even for every decree issued by the emperor...
Everyone will be skeptical!
In this case, where is the majesty of the emperor?
How will the world view the current emperor?
On the surface, this matter is just for the marriage of His Royal Highness Prince Yu.
It's just some people who covet the royal wealth and glory who are competing for the position of Prince Yu's wife.
But if you think deeply...
The old minister could not help but suspect that this was someone with ulterior motives beginning to try to undermine the majesty of the current emperor bit by bit;
The Emperor's stable position was shaken little by little;
Gradually gathering power;
Touching the supreme imperial power little by little...
The plan is far-reaching... it's terrifying to think about it carefully!"
Although the words spoken by Duke Anguo Fu Peng sounded heavy to Fu Yinglan, Fu Yingze, Fu Mingjun and Fu Mingxiu, they did not seem surprising.
The ones who were really surprised were the women in the room, including Leng Rongyue.
In the hearts of all the female relatives, what they were worried about was only the marriage between their own Yue'er and His Royal Highness Prince Yu;
What people are wondering is whether this pair of golden boy and jade girl can be together till the end and achieve a happy ending.
However, they had never imagined that the marriage of this pair of young children would involve the overt and undercurrents in the court.
Madam Xue, the first and second wives were all thinking at the same time that no matter what the matter was, as long as it involved the royal family, it would no longer be a trivial matter;
It is no longer a simple matter.
No wonder Yue Er had said before that she was against the marriage contract with the royal family and the prince from the bottom of her heart;
She resisted the imperial decree of marriage from the bottom of her heart, and only thought about how to safely make the emperor withdraw the decree and cancel the engagement with the royal family.
Sure enough, Yue'er's resistance was not unreasonable.
Whether it is a commoner's family or an official's family, they only care about matching;
In other words, marrying a daughter-in-law of lower status and marrying a daughter-in-law of higher status can be considered as the final measure of a marriage.
Now that I think about it, nothing can involve the royal family.
Once the royal family is involved, even the simplest things become complicated!
The mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and the two of them couldn't help but look at Leng Rongyue who was sitting next to Old Madam Xue with pity.
Their Yue'er should have already fallen in love with His Royal Highness Prince Yu...
But this move would inevitably involve him involuntarily in the struggle for imperial power.
Marrying a prince is not as simple as just a pair of young lovers!
How many dangers and terrible things will we encounter in the process!
