Chapter 66 Mu Tingchuan
Emperor Zhaocheng calculated that it would be enough to give the Jiang family's legitimate daughter two months to learn the rules. If the marriage couldn't happen in April, then it would be changed to early May.
After the wedding of the prince and the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family is completed, you can choose a day in mid-May or the end of May to hold the wedding of the sixth prince.
Didn't Prime Minister Gu want to help the fourth prince fight for the heir apparent? Then marry his daughter to the sixth prince and see whether he chooses the fourth prince or the sixth prince.
In short, don't think about Mu Cang.
Emperor Zhaocheng thought for a while and simply asked everything at once: "What other rumors are there about Yan Li recently?"
Xiao Changhai said: "I heard that there are still people outside who say that Princess Nanyang was divorced by the prince because of her indiscretion. The Ninth Prince visited the Jiang family once before... It was the time when Princess Yu and Princess Xian came to question her. , the Ninth Prince sent Princess Nanyang back to the Jiang family and sent away the two princesses. The Third Young Master of the Jiang family slandered Princess Nanyang in front of the Ninth Prince, which made the Ninth Prince furious and sentenced the Third Young Master Jiang to be ineligible to become an official on the spot. "
Emperor Zhaocheng tapped the armrest with one hand, his eyebrows gloomy: "It seems that the Jiang family didn't take my words to heart at all."
"But Princess Nanyang has not suffered any loss. Please rest assured, Your Majesty." Xiao Changhai quickly smiled and said, "The Ninth Prince is ruthless. Since he has agreed to this marriage, he will not let others slander his little wife at will. With the Ninth Prince Protect her, and your Majesty will no longer have to worry about Princess Nanyang being bullied."
Emperor Zhaocheng picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea slowly, and then said calmly: "Since the third son of the Jiang family has such a good conduct, don't let him participate in this year's Qiu Wei."
Xiao Changhai hesitated for a moment: "Shall I take the time to tell Taifu Jiang?"
Emperor Zhaocheng nodded: "Yes."
"yes."
Emperor Zhaocheng put down the tea cup and asked casually: "What have the princes been doing recently?"
"The prince is preparing for the wedding. The eldest prince spends most of his time studying and painting. The fourth prince is helping in the etiquette department. The fifth prince has poor health. He heard that he accidentally contracted a cold a few days ago. Concubine Shu hired an imperial doctor for him. I have been taking medicine and resting for the past two days." Xiao Changhai reported every detail, "The Sixth Prince is assisting Dali Temple in investigating the case. The Ninth Prince has been practicing martial arts diligently recently, and it seems that he still has no plans to go to the border with the army. "
Except for the third, seventh and eighth princes who died in infancy, the other princes have all been crowned princes.
Emperor Zhaocheng held his chin and muttered: "Xiao Jiu can endure hardship. He has always wanted to follow his Uncle Jiu to the border."
The ninth prince, Mu Tingchuan, was only eighteen years old. He was taciturn by nature and liked to wield swords and guns. Therefore, when the other princes were entrusted with the throne, even though Mu Tingchuan was not of high birth and age, Emperor Zhaocheng also took care of him. This ninth son was granted the title of War King, hoping that he would be able to fight on the battlefield in the future and protect the country of Damu.
However, because he is still underage, Mu Tingchuan does not have his own mansion yet and has been living in the prince's residence in the palace.
Xiao Changhai said with a smile: "The Ninth Prince is ranked ninth, and the Ninth Prince is also ranked ninth, so the Ninth Prince has always admired the Ninth Prince, and wants to learn from the Ninth Prince to protect the family, the country, and the country."
Emperor Zhaocheng was moved.
Xiaojiu's mother was just Zhaoyi, with a low status and a weak mother's clan. Even if she had been crowned king, she would definitely not be qualified to compete for the heir apparent. It would be fine to follow her into the battlefield.
In the past, thinking about his young age, I always felt that the time had not come yet, but then I thought about it. Mu Cang went to the battlefield at the age of fourteen, and he could lead an army alone at the age of sixteen. There was no reason why Mu Tingchuan couldn't.
Perhaps he could be arranged to practice behind Mu Cang earlier. If he could take charge of his role early, he would be able to avoid too much concentration of military power.
With this thought in mind, Emperor Zhaocheng slowly spoke: "The Ninth Prince."
"yes."
