"Oh? What does Mr. Jiang Guo want? But it doesn't matter. As long as I can satisfy you, I will definitely satisfy you."
The emperor took back his military power, and now he is in a good mood. He has achieved his goal, but he also needs to be comforted.
"I would like to ask the emperor to grant Quanzi a marriage. I want to marry the sister of Su Jing, the minister of civil affairs, Princess Xuanle. I have only one wish, and I ask for the emperor's permission!"
After Jiang Guogong finished speaking, he even kowtowed on the ground.
For the sake of his son, he has made the greatest sacrifice and fulfillment within his ability.
He is experienced in emotional matters, and he knows how unwilling he would be if he could not marry the woman he loves in this life.
Because of him, he had been left without a mother since he was a child. This was something he owed him, and now, he would give everything to fulfill his wish.
He could see that Jiang Yu and Su Wan were really in love with each other. They were just like him and Xinrou back then, looking at each other with eyes for each other.
But he didn't want the two of them to follow their old path. He just wanted them to live a peaceful and happy life, which could be regarded as his atonement.
This result was expected by everyone.
The Holy One remained silent for a moment as usual, and then laughed:
"Previously in Junshan, the Crown Prince asked me to marry him, but I didn't agree because I wanted to marry Princess Xuanle to my seventh prince. But a few days ago, the seventh prince told me that he already has his heart set on something. This person is not Xuanle. Princess Le, Concubine Chen also told me that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, and some things should not be forced.
Now, Duke Jiang Guo has personally come to ask for the royal decree for the prince's marriage, and has also specifically handed over his military power. If I continue to stop him, wouldn't it be like beating a mandarin duck? "
"In this case, I don't want to separate lovers. I will grant your request today. After the next court, I will formulate the marriage decree. You two should go back and make preparations. If you should propose a marriage, you should issue a betrothal. Princess Xuanle is also the princess whom I personally canonized. She has a distinguished status and should have three matchmaking and six appointments, three letters and six etiquettes, which are indispensable!"
The Holy Emperor agreed to Jiang Guogong's request, granted marriage to Jiang Yu and Su Wan, and also agreed to Jiang Guogong's request to recuperate at home in the future.
From then on, Duke Jiang Guo did not need to go to court. He only had to spend time at home every day, and he did not need to go to the military camp to train. He would just recuperate at home every day, trim flowers and plants, feed fish and so on. If the Lord wanted to discuss anything with him, he would naturally summon him. He entered the palace.
The two brothers Su Jing and Su Chen never thought that this matter would go so smoothly.
I was originally worried that it would continue to be delayed, but I didn't expect that Princess Jiang took the initiative to hand over the military power, and the matter was solved easily.
After going down to court, Jiang Guogong was the last one to walk out of the palace, and with him was Tang Guogong.
The sun is shining brightly outside. Standing on the steps and looking up at the sky, the sky is square and square, surrounded by palace walls, which have trapped many people for their entire lives.
Looking back at the main hall, Jiang Guogong felt relieved for some reason.
It’s okay, I’ve dedicated most of my life here, and now I finally don’t have to come here anymore.
From now on, the sky is high and the sea is vast, and he is no longer bound.
Sometimes, learning to let go can be a relief.
"You are willing to give it up. If you say you don't want it, then you don't want it."
Duke Tang Guo stood beside him and seemed to see the relief in his expression.
The two of them have been vying with each other for so many years, always trying to be one step above the other. Now it's better. Jiang Guogong has withdrawn from the court, and now he doesn't know who to fight with.
When he thought that he would be able to sleep at home until he woke up naturally and entertain the birds and feed the fish every day, he actually felt an emotion called envy in his heart.
Duke Jiang looked at him inexplicably, ignored him, and walked away. This made Duke Tang very angry.
…
When the decree of marriage came down, Su Wan was still confused. She knelt on the ground and listened to the eunuch who came to announce the decree recited a lot of words of praise. Most of them praised how well the two of them matched. Finally, she said the decree of marriage. One thing.
When the imperial edict was handed to her, she still felt as if she was in a dream. She had just gotten up from the bed, and she had not yet woken up from her nap. Now she was told that the emperor had agreed to the marriage, and even the imperial edict had come down.
After sending the people from the palace away, Su Wan learned from his elder brother what happened in the court today.
It turns out that this imperial edict of marriage was obtained by Jiang Guogong using his military power. Of course, there is no need to say more about its weight.
Of course, there is no need to elaborate on the importance of his feelings for Jiang Yu. Everyone can see it.
Any relapse of old illness is all fake, just to fulfill his son's needs.
When Jiang Yu received the imperial edict of marriage, he was a little confused. He originally thought of discussing the follow-up matters with him today. Who knows, his father was doing big things in silence without him having to ask, and he had already taken the initiative to solve everything. .
Jiang Yu held the imperial edict, and Jiang Guogong stood beside him. Facing his puzzled eyes, he was quite proud at that moment.
Duke Jiang Guo stroked his beard and raised his eyebrows:
"Is this stupid? The marriage decree has been issued. Are you satisfied? Have you prepared the bride price? When are you going to propose marriage? Do you need my help?"
Several questions in a row made Jiang Yu feel dizzy.
"Everything is ready. Grandpa's side is ready, but your side is not yet..."
I mentioned this to him before, but he never agreed, so I didn't prepare the betrothal gift at all. I only prepared my grandfather's share.
Hearing this, Duke Jiang Guo took out a document from his sleeve and threw it to him.
"It's been prepared for you. This is the betrothal gift list. Take a look and decide what you want to add. But I have something to say first. Your grandfather's betrothal gift cannot be overt. Also, don't add too much. , I don’t know, I still think that our government is a nouveau riche, I don’t know how many bribes we have taken.
Hurry up and recover from your injuries. Find a day to hire someone. Okay, you can stay alone. If you don’t understand anything about the betrothal gift list, why don’t you send someone to ask me again? I have a lot of things to deal with this time. Your uncles and uncles will definitely come to ask about the right to discharge troops, it’s a headache!”
Jiang Guogong reached out and rubbed his temples before leaving. It was also at this moment that Jiang Yu discovered that there seemed to be a few silver threads in his hair.
Suddenly, he realized that he seemed to be getting older, and he felt a little guilty.
Looking at the betrothal gift list in his hand, it was a thick book, and the contents on it used up almost 80% of Jiang Guogong's family wealth.
If Ning Wei knew about this, she would be so angry that her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys would hurt again.
Jiang Yu was silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed with relief.
He closed the betrothal gift list, closed his eyes and thought of Su Wan's face, wishing that he would get better immediately, and then go to the betrothal to agree on a wedding date and take her home as soon as possible.
