Chapter 357

Jiang Zhao's heart moved: "Who is it?"

Under normal circumstances, the selection of a son-in-law will definitely not force anyone to be a son-in-law. Like the previous selection of a son-in-law, if the son-in-law is unwilling, the old emperor who already has someone he likes will not make it difficult.

"This person is from your house, Yan Jiuci. I am still planning to test his mouth. I haven't heard that this kid has someone he likes. Maybe it will work. I have already tested Kui Kui's mouth. She said that as long as you, as a brother, feel good, it's fine." Jiang Cheng shook his head. The old fifth has been kind to his sisters for these years. They trust him very much.

Yan Jiuci has made military achievements and has been conferred a marquis. He is the youngest marquis in Dazhao Kingdom. His status is completely different from before. Now I don't know how many people want to marry their daughters to him. The old emperor naturally has this idea. After all, his daughters are very outstanding, so he naturally needs an outstanding son-in-law. But there is a prerequisite that Yan Jiuci is also willing, so both parties are satisfied.

He didn't want to embarrass a talented minister, and didn't want his daughter to become a couple with a son-in-law. He wanted his daughter to be happy and joyful for the rest of her life.

"Then father can rest assured to choose him. This kid has had some feelings for the fifth sister for a long time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have done this. He might have gone to wander around the world."

Jiang Chen was happy: "So that's how it is."

"The fifth sister met him before and wanted to choose him as the chief guard. She thought he was good-looking and could fight. He was very respectable. If she knew he could be her son-in-law, she would be willing."

Jiang Kui didn't reveal her intention not to get married. She had talked about the issue of having children in the future when she went to her eldest sister before, so when things came to this, let's arrange it.

The next day, Jiang Chen went to court.

Looking at the civil and military officials in the court, he rubbed walnuts in his hand and looked down. He frowned soon. Jiang Zhao was not seen in the position where his sons were standing.

He asked the attendant beside him: "Didn't Lao Wu come?"

The attendant knew what happened yesterday and had just inquired about it. He whispered: "I didn't notice that Prince An went to the palace to attend the court."

He probably overslept. Prince An usually gets up at noon.

Jiang Cheng squeezed the walnut in his hand hard, then handed it to the attendant: "Go and ask what's going on, and call him into the palace."

He couldn't make it to the morning court, but he couldn't let Lao Wu die on the first day, so he had to call him in anyway.

Someone from the palace came to invite Jiang Zhao.

When he went to bed yesterday, he deliberately blocked the outside sounds, asked the system to help keep an eye on the situation, and slept peacefully, so no one could wake him up. He waited until the time he should have woken up before opening his eyes and washing up. By then, it was already bright, and he didn't know how long the morning court would end.

The eunuch watched Jiang Zhao wash up silently, and didn't dare to say anything. Prince An would talk to His Majesty later. Anyway, he couldn't wake anyone up. Prince An slept very soundly.

When Jiang Cheng saw Jiang Zhao, he had already received the news about what was going on. Now he really had some ideas to give up, and felt that the fifth son was really not good enough. Seeing Jiang Zhao taking breakfast seriously, he wanted to remove everything.

After that, Jiang Zhao followed Jiang Cheng to work, and this move immediately caused heated discussions among all parties in private. At first they were very nervous, and soon found that Prince An couldn't even make it to the morning court. How could His Majesty choose Prince An?

In about a month, Jiang Cheng gave up that naive idea. It's better to train a younger one than the fifth son. Forget it, the fifth son will be his good son.

Yan Jiuci was selected as the son-in-law smoothly, and Jiang Kui was very satisfied with him. Although Yan Jiuci was a marquis, he had no family. After marriage, he chose to live in Jiang Kui's princess mansion. The two have been very loving since their marriage.

Jiang Fu moved into the princess's mansion as early as after completing her studies. She also boldly told Jiang Cheng that she didn't want to consider the relationship between her children and would talk about it later. Jiang Cheng would ask Jiang Fu every year if she had changed her mind, and he would not force her if he knew she hadn't changed her mind. The princesses who were brave enough in the future would apply to leave the palace and live in the princess's mansion, while those who were timid naturally didn't dare to ask for this. But Jiang Cheng paid much more attention to his daughters than before, especially in their marriages.

Not to say that every son-in-law can do what Jiang Zhi's son-in-law and Jiang Kui's son-in-law Yan Jiuci did, at least because Jiang Cheng, as a father, paid attention to his daughter, those who were son-in-law had to treat the princess well.

Jiang Cheng was often sick in these years, and he would have a serious illness every year. But every time it was a close call. He felt that he really didn't have a few years left, so he wrote down the imperial edict on who would succeed him early and announced it at the last moment.

Although he didn't say it, the ministers could still see that Jiang Cheng's final choice could only be Jiang Mo. Jiang Mo was stable. Even though he knew that he would win in the end, as long as his father was still alive, he dared not make any mistakes. His father was already in his last days, so he could wait a little longer. He had waited for so many years, and he couldn't fail in the end.

Now he was completely sure that Lao Wu had no intention of doing so.

This year when Jiang Cheng was 62 years old, he was seriously ill.

He felt that his end was coming, so he called everyone into the palace. Everyone was very nervous, especially Jiang Mo, who had come to the palace early, just waiting for his father to announce that he was the successor. At this time, even if he was holding back, his body was still shaking slightly with excitement.

Finally, this day has finally come.

In the past, Lao Wu was the one who was in the limelight. When he ascended to the throne, Lao Wu had to act according to his eyes.

Jiang Mo was thinking about all kinds of things in his heart, but he didn't notice that Jiang Cheng's face was getting worse and worse. Jiang Cheng heard his voice. Originally, he wanted to give the imperial edict to the fourth brother earlier. But after hearing the fourth brother's voice, he felt very uncomfortable. He loved the fifth brother, but he couldn't give the fifth brother any special treatment at this time. He was gone, and it was too easy for the fourth brother as the emperor to punish the fifth brother. If he gave him special treatment, the fourth brother would be more resentful. If it doesn't work openly, he can use all kinds of means in secret. What can the fifth brother do?

Unexpectedly, after being an emperor for a lifetime, he couldn't even protect his beloved son in the end. Jiang Cheng felt a little sad in his heart. Is every emperor like him in his last moments? He can control the power of life and death, but he can't control his own life and death.
