Taking Hong Jinglai's only two meetings with Concubine Hong into consideration, as well as the messages sent by her palace ministers, Hong Jinglai knew that Concubine Hong was not an aimless person.

All her current actions are to revive the Fengshan Hong family, with the overall interests of the Fengshan Hong family as the focus. Including the previous proposal to marry the daughter of the Fengyang Zhao family, it is also to restore the reputation of the Fengshan Hong family.

As a digression here, Concubine Hong did not treat Hong Jinglai badly. She originally planned to book for him the daughter of Zhao Zhenyi of the Zhao family in Fengyang. Zhao Zhenyi was Zhao Wanyong's uncle and the judge of Hanyang Mansion. In addition, there is one most important joint.

Zhao Zhenyi has no heirs.

Even if a son is adopted from another Zhao family in the future, a considerable part of his political resources and network reputation will definitely fall into the hands of Hong Jinglai (assuming) as his son-in-law.

For the Fengshan Hong family, half the resources of the Hanyang Prefecture magistrate were enough to make up their mind to marry this Zhao daughter!

Therefore, no matter from which aspect, Concubine Hong's knowledge and opinions must have been carefully calculated. She asked Hong Jing to marry Zhao's daughter because she was focusing on the inheritance.

Then when she asked Hong Jinglai to pay attention to King Sunjong's marriage to the princess, she must have heard some rumors or smelled something, and there must be something involved in the matter of setting up the princess.

"The Lord and the middle hall treat each other with respect as guests, and the music and instruments are in harmony!"

These are Concubine Hong's original words. It is very rare for feudal couples to be loving. Being able to share the case and raise eyebrows is already the best way to get along. Now this couple seems to be in a very good relationship.

Hong Jinglai naturally knew that Princess Chunyuan Jin would give birth to an heir in the future. The reason why there was no news yet was because she was only sixteen years old and had not yet fully grown up.

But the liveliness and cuteness of the young girl must have been enough to attract King Sunjong. Jinzu Chunhong Jinglai had seen her before, and she had a majestic appearance and a decent attitude. A daughter born to such a father would definitely not be too ugly.

It’s not unusual for that young couple to have such a happy married life!

Another point is that Queen Mother Sui is keeping a close eye on this son. If she doesn't have any means, she won't be able to give birth to a son, let alone raise him to such a big age.

Anyway, those flirtatious and gorgeous ones were all sent far away by Concubine Sui. It’s impossible for King Sunzong to have sex with him. Besides the internal officials around him, there are also aunts. I’m sure there won’t be any trouble left behind, even if there are a few of them.

Young people are all stupid and clumsy things.

I don’t believe that King Sunjong is not taboo!

That's easy. At such a young age, that's when that thing sprouted. There were crooked melons and cracked dates around me, and my mother still watched closely and wouldn't let her touch her. However, my legal wife was still young and beautiful, so what was she doing?

Either way.

This guy is obsessed with this wife!

No matter how you fight, the relationship between husband and wife is good anyway, and King Sunjong likes his princess very much.

Hong Jinglai knows how to look at the essence through phenomena. The first clue is that the king and his wife are harmonious, and the second clue is that there have been twists and turns in the wedding selection.

Therefore?

If King Sunjong knew that someone had blocked his current beloved child from entering the palace, what would happen to him who is also sixteen years old and in the rebellious phase of his life?

Following the officer outside, Hong Jinglai thought about the joints over and over again, searching for the memory of the past in his own memories.

Princess Sunwon Kim, when King Jeongjong was the heir apparent, was selected by King Jeongjong himself to be included in the candidate list. To put it bluntly, at that time, King Jeongjong had already identified Kim Jo-soon as the future auxiliary minister and chose him.

Daughter, let him be the uncle of the state, which is more justified.

There was no suspense about this matter, but the problem lay with the Zhengzong King himself. He seemed to be doing well, but suddenly he kicked his legs, leaving an orphan, a widow, and a whole family.

At that time, after completing the first two steps of the third choice, I was just short of the last step and ran out of energy!

Although the final choice was Jin Zuchun's daughter, we need to ask the parties concerned whether there were any twists and turns.

Fortunately, there are people in Hong Jinglai's palace! Cui Zhengji's sister Hong Jinglai has recognized all of them, and there is no shortage of gifts for every year and festival. Even the hometowns of these noble palaces have purchased a lot of land.

Hong Jinglai paid for it.

Men are willing to spend money for women! Either they really love you! Or they want to use you!

Isn't it just right now? It's time for all the sisters to play their roles. One by one, Hong Jinglai secretly passed through the courtyard to distribute tribute materials and had someone send a message in.

During the short period of time while waiting for the replies from his sisters, Hong Jinglai took his official credentials and officially reported to Uijeongbu.

Naturally, they were divided between Min Tingyue and Min Jingyue. This was not only what Hong Jinglai hoped for in his heart, but also what he had already done before.

Now the Min family of Lixing and the Hong family of Fengshan are like grasshoppers on the same rope. Naturally, they should help each other and work together. Otherwise, how can we usher in new development and start a new life?

After waiting for two days, news from the palace gradually came out. These palace ministers are all top students who have received many years of palace education, and all of them are well-read and literate. This is very convenient for Hong Jinglai, who can directly read letters in Chinese characters.

Concise and clear, easy to understand!

Two of them said that they were not present at the time, or were not in the palace at the time, and did not experience this important event personally. Even if they knew some information, it was hearsay. They took it as a joke and did not seriously talk to Hong Jing.

There is also a letter saying that Princess Jeongsun was not very satisfied with the choices made on behalf of the deceased King Jeongjong. Unfortunately, the three girls at that time were selected by King Jeongjong himself. She could not overthrow King Jeongjong when his bones were still cold.

It was a difficult decision, so I had to hold my nose and choose Jin Zu Chunnu.

At that time, Jin Dalshun, the current senior general of the Seclusion Sect, was still serving as an observer in Hwanghae Province, which had nothing to do with this matter. Another general, Shen Huan, was in charge of the preparation of the tomb of King Zhengzong and was not in Hanyang. As for the relatives of Princess Jeongsun,

Brother Jin Guanzhu is also serving abroad and did not participate.

Therefore, the minister had the impression that in addition to the wife who presided over the ceremony at that time, the one who acted as the selector should be the current magistrate of the central government, Shi Quanyu.

The last letter also echoes this letter. The person who presided over the selection at that time was indeed the secluded minister Quan Yu. However, at that time he was only a councilor of Li Cao and did not have the prominent status now.

In this way, the person who caused the twists and turns in the selection ceremony at that time should be one of Princess Jeongsoon and Kwon Yu, or both.

Whoever benefits has greater motivation!

Quan Yu rose from Li Cao Council to become the central government official. It seems that his proposal was appreciated and approved by Princess Jeongsun.
Chapter completed!
