Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen
Chapter 510: The Princess and the County Lord, Punishment or Reward
Jiang Qingwu felt a little unhappy. He opened his mouth and was about to defend himself, but Jiuhan spoke first.
Annoyed and helpless, he looked at Lu Chen who was kneeling beside him, "Mother, are you crazy?"
"Whether it's Wanyue or Tanxi, it's all my sons' own wishes."
"What's more, we are not a noble family at all. We have been in decline since our grandfather."
"If it weren't for the relationship between my grandmother and the Queen Mother, I would have been nothing."
Jiu Ye heard the voice and interrupted, "Mother, you falsely conveyed the Queen Mother's order, teamed up with the concubines to take poison, and framed the Queen. This is a serious crime..."
As he said that, Jiu Ye turned around and kowtowed to Yan Xiuchen, "Godfather, please spare my mother. She is just a woman, ignorant and fearless. Please have mercy on her."
Seeing this, Yan Xiuchen looked towards Jiang Qingwu and said, "The Queen Mother's order for this matter has already been delivered."
After saying that, Yan Xiuchen called out to the door, "Tan Xi..."
Tan Xi came in from outside holding an imperial edict and bowed to Yan Xiuchen, "Your Majesty, here is the imperial edict."
"read……"
"Yes..." Tan Xi agreed, stood up and opened the imperial edict.
"According to the Empress Dowager's decree, Lu Chen, who was by her side, falsely conveyed my order and caused chaos in the harem... However, I have not yet entered the capital and have no power to manage the harem. The severity of my crime will be determined by Your Majesty and the Empress, and I have no objection."
The Queen Mother did not cover up or hold anyone accountable, but instead pushed the blame cleanly. Now it all depends on Yan Xiuchen.
But how could he really blame Lu Chen?
Jiang Qingwu thought in his heart and sighed secretly, as if he had guessed something. Then he turned to look at Wanyue beside him and winked at her.
Wan Yue was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses, rushed forward and knelt in the hall.
"Your Majesty, Madam Lu loves her son dearly, and no serious consequences have occurred."
"I dare to ask Your Majesty to forgive Madam Lu."
Seeing this, Yan Xiuchen understood something instantly. He turned to look at Jiang Qingwu, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and then raised his eyes to look at Tan Xi beside him.
"Tanxi, what do you mean?"
Tan Xi reacted and bowed, "What Wan Yue said... is exactly what I was thinking."
"Jiuhan and Jiuye are meritorious ministers. Please show mercy, Your Majesty."
"Tan Xi, although I am willing to help you and Jiu Ye, Madam Lu doesn't like you. Are you still going to plead for her?"
"This matter...the two are unrelated. Your Majesty asked me, and I was just stating my opinion."
Yan Xiuchen smiled upon hearing this, sighed softly, and looked at Lu Chen who was kneeling on the ground, "Cousin, how about I make a deal with you?"
"Yes."
"How about you accept that Tanxi and Wanyue falsely conveyed the imperial decree and teamed up with Xiunu to slander the queen, and I will just pretend nothing happened?"
Lu Chen knelt on the ground for a long time without saying a word. Seeing this, Yan Xiuchen waved to Zhong Quan who was not far away.
Seeing this, Zhong Quan took the imperial edict and said, "Liu Tanxi, Jiang Wanyue, receive the edict..."
Wanyue and Tanxi looked at each other in shock, then stepped forward and knelt in front of Zhong Quan.
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that Liu Tanxi, the descendant of the Jiangzhou meritorious official Liu, is gentle and graceful, intelligent and diligent. I like her very much, and I am hereby accepting her as my adopted sister, naming her Princess Zhaohua, and granting her the right to live in Zhaohe Palace."
"Jiang Wanyue, the second daughter of Shunqing Marquis's mansion, has protected me and the queen many times. Her merits are worthy of reward. I hereby confer the title of Princess of Anle County, granting her 300 households, 200 slaves, and a mansion."
This imperial edict stunned everyone in the hall, not only Wanyue and Tanxi.
Jiang Qingwu didn't expect that Yan Xiuchen had already planned everything and prepared everything.
Looking at the frozen Wanyue and Tanxi, Jiang Qingwu leaned forward and reminded them, "Hey, what are you two doing standing there?"
The two men came to their senses, knelt down and kowtowed, "Wan Yue... Tan Xi, we accept your order and thank you!"
Upon seeing this, Zhong Quan immediately sent two imperial edicts to the two men.
Yan Xiuchen smiled, sighed, and took out the other two imperial edicts placed aside, "I spent a long time writing the imperial edict yesterday, and there are still two."
"It's just that whether these two decrees can be read and announced depends on Madam Lu."
Jiang Qingwu stared at Yan Xiuchen in a daze, then he understood, moved closer to Lu Chenshi, and whispered, "Lu Chenshi, one of them is Princess Zhaohua, and the other is Princess Anle."
"You still won't agree to the deal your Majesty just proposed?"
"If you still don't agree, then I'm afraid the remaining two orders won't be announced."
Jiuhan and Jiuye looked at Yan Xiuchen in confusion, and then looked at Jiang Qingwu.
Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu stood up and leaned close to Jiuhan's ear, "It's about the marriage and the reward."
Perhaps after hearing Jiang Qingwu's words, Lu Chenshi immediately changed her tone, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your grace. I will follow your Majesty's orders in everything."
Jiang Qingwu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back firmly in his chair, and raised an eyebrow at Wan Yue who was standing in the distance.
……
[The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that Lu Jiuhan and Lu Jiuye, sons of the Anbei Fengxing Lu family, have been my adopted sons for many years, have been loyal to me, have made outstanding military achievements, possess both talent and virtue, and are extremely courageous and resolute. I am grateful for their contributions.]
[Today, the eldest son of the Lu family, Lu Jiuhan, is enthroned as a second-rank commander, who receives orders directly from the emperor and is in charge of the military secrets of the capital, the three prisons, and monitors the officials and relatives of the emperor, as well as military and political secrets... In addition, he is granted marriage to the second daughter of Shunqing Marquis, Anle County Lady Jiang Wanyue, and the wedding will be held on a chosen date.]
[The second son of the Lu family, Lu Jiuye, was appointed as the commander in front of the emperor, General Hewu, in charge of the imperial guards of Kyoto, and was granted a general's residence. He was also granted marriage to Princess Zhaohua Liu Tanxi, and the wedding was to be held on a chosen date.]
[His birth mother, Lu Chen, is virtuous, prudent, and mature, and is a good wife. She is gentle, kind, and obedient, so she is specially granted the title of Lady of Yongqing County. I decree this! ]
……
The imperial edict of enthronement was quickly announced, and each department carried out the order.
In Fengxiang Palace, Jiang Qingwu and Wanyue opened the door of the warehouse.
Xiao Luzi quickly lit the light in the warehouse, then quietly retreated to a nearby place.
"You should pack up in the next two days and leave the palace." Jiang Qingwu walked through the warehouse and headed towards the innermost part.
Wan Yue followed behind, feeling a little reluctant for a moment, "Miss, don't worry, I will..."
"Stop. From now on, you can no longer call yourself a slave. I burned your documents several years ago. You are no longer a slave."
"Now, you are the second daughter of the Jiang family, the county lady, and in the future you will be the commander's wife."
Jiang Qingwu stopped walking and looked at Wanyue with a fixed gaze. "Wanyue, do you know what the position of the commander-in-chief of Jiuhan is?"
Wan Yue lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then tentatively replied, "Second rank."
Jiang Qingwu chuckled and said, "Rank is not important. What is important is that you are directly under the order of the emperor, in charge of the Military Affairs and the Capital Criminal Department, in charge of the three prisons, and monitor the officials, relatives, military and political secrets on behalf of the emperor."
Jiang Qingwu said, gently holding Wanyue's hand, "Jiuhan is more stable than Jiuye, Yan Xiuchen values and trusts him."
"This commander is Yan Xiuchen's eyes and hands."
"In other words...if Jiuhan doesn't want to, even I can't order him around, let alone anyone else."
"Moreover, even if they are royal relatives, officials or nobles, he can execute them first and report later."
Wan Yue's pupils dilated, and she looked at Jiang Qingwu in surprise, "Could this... be..."
"I tell you this because I want to tell you that Jiuhan will be a powerful and important official in the court in the future."
"You two are both talented in civil and military affairs, and you complement each other. Outside the palace, you can serve as eyes and hands for me and His Majesty."
"Besides, with you outside the palace, taking care of the Marquis' Mansion, Zhuang Qing, Liushantang and the others... I will feel very relieved."
"This is more difficult and more important than the task of staying by my side and serving me."
Wan Yue looked at Jiang Qingwu, her eyes slightly reddened, and then she leaned forward to salute, "Miss, don't worry, this servant..."
Wan Yue paused halfway through her words and looked up at Jiang Qingwu, "Don't worry, elder sister. Wan Yue will definitely not let you down."
Jiang Qingwu smiled and leaned over to help Wanyue up. "Okay, get up quickly. I have prepared a generous dowry for you. Come and have a look..."
