The notice boards on the city walls are usually used to post imperial notices, announce imperial decrees, etc.
Usually the notices posted above are signed by government agencies such as the Yamen, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Rites. This time it is different. The square and square seal at the end of the notice is the jade seal of the current dynasty!
The weight of this announcement can be imagined.
Compared with other wanted notices and policy change notices, this notice only has three lines of text, and the content is simple and clear.
The people watching the excitement could not understand the notice issued by the emperor. The scholars present explained it to the people in vernacular.
——The current rumors in the market about the second girl of the Jian family and the third prince are the work of the enemy, with the intention of slandering and insulting Prince Jing. The two are innocent and have no special relationship. If anyone talks about it again, they will be treated as treason.
After explaining the content of the announcement, the scholars present talked about the reason behind it.
——By saying these things now, you are destroying Miss Jian's reputation, and you are also insulting the emperor's feelings towards Prince Jing. If the other party is a woman of bad character, how could the emperor give this girl to Prince Jing?
——Miss Jian Er’s reputation is so tarnished because of her disrespect for Prince Jing. The soldiers in the north who respect Prince Jing will feel that their commander has been insulted. The God of War who serves the country and the people will be treated like this by the people he protects, and their hearts are chilled. How do the soldiers fight bravely against the enemy?
——Once the morale of the army is in chaos, the golden slaves can take advantage of the loopholes and plunge Dazhou into trouble. The good days are gone and everyone is displaced.
…
Most of the people followed what was said. They didn't expect so many people. Now when they heard the scholars present explaining the truth inside, everyone was shocked and broke into a cold sweat.
Oh my God! The gold slaves were despicable, and they almost became accomplices!
The rumors in the market were put to rest.
The emperor's method is simple and crude, and it is a conspiracy. Although it is exaggerated, who knows if there are gold slaves here who are causing trouble?
After the notice was posted, if someone spoke in a high-profile manner and said nonsense, they would be glared at by the people and taken to the Yamen for trial. This person must be a trickster who stirred up trouble!
The people kept this secret, and the forces behind the scenes did not dare to do anything anymore.
They all realized that this move would indeed target the third prince, but it would also offend Prince Jing. The emperor would be so angry that his body would float thousands of miles away. When the emperor pursues the matter, a small matter will turn into a big one, and no one can escape.
Without the deliberate instigation of the person behind it, things calmed down faster. The rumors and malicious speculations about Jian Yu disappeared in an instant, and were replaced by praise for her.
The emperor attaches great importance to Prince Jing! So what if the second young lady of the Jian family has a deep love for Prince Jing? Are there not many noble ladies who like Prince Jing? The second young lady of the Jian family must be good enough to be granted marriage by the emperor!
Originally, those noble ladies would laugh at Jian Yu secretly, saying that she was short-sighted, and marrying Prince Jing would be extremely miserable in the future... Now they didn't dare to mention a word about it. In the current situation, they didn't dare to get into trouble. .
Jian Yu's turnaround was quite beautiful. With the emperor taking the lead, no one dared to ignore the second young lady of the Jian family.
In Ci'an Palace, Tang Fu's face was so gloomy that she could drip ink. She didn't expect that Jian Yu would have the courage to go to the emperor!
As for the rumors in the market, it was not only the eldest prince and the second prince who were involved, but Tang Fu was also involved in them.
The rumors can be clarified. The third prince has been slandered and she can find a way to clear her name. What Tang Fu wants is for Jian Yu to lose power now.
The other party cannot marry into the palace, let alone the third prince. In order to avoid the limelight, he will definitely be sent to Zhuangzi. It will be much easier to do something then.
Even if he rushes back to Jiangnan and gets more hands-on on the way, it doesn't matter if the third prince has done something wrong to Jian Yu. No matter how much guilt he feels after losing the person, it will be useless and it will not affect the overall situation.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as she thought. Tang Fu, who had always been successful in her career, once again stumbled upon Jian Yu. For some reason, her intuition told her that the other party would be a big trouble for her in the future.
Some people were happy and some were sad. At that time, the kitchen in Taifu's Mansion was very busy. They were cooking for the second young lady.
Jian Yu had a poor appetite and was picky about food. She felt unwell and cried bitterly, which made her feel a little wilted.
Mrs. Jian then ordered the chef to prepare a table of Jiangnan cuisine. If the second lady eats it, she will be rewarded heavily.
The old lady naturally knew about these commotions in the house. She was thinking that Jian Yu would not be able to laugh for a few more days. She was talking to Aunt Song about the rumors outside, when a message came from the front, saying that the emperor's reward had arrived.
This time Jian Yu came to pick her up in person, and other members of the Jian family also came to greet her. The eunuch passed on the emperor's instructions and praised Jian Yu. Simply put, Jian Yu had suffered an unreasonable disaster, and her reward was comfort.
Seeing the valuables being moved into Jian Yu's yard, the old lady was so angry that she wanted to bite her teeth off. Then she heard the eunuch comforting Jian Yu that the storm was over, and said that he would leave the palace with him and that there would be a notice from the emperor. , has probably been posted on the city wall notice board now.
In the end, the old lady understood. Not only was Jian Yu not affected this time, but she was also comforted by the emperor, and her reputation would be enhanced.
When he spoke ill of Jian Yu in the room, the expression on his face was so happy, and the old lady felt so jealous in her heart at that moment.
how so! The old lady was so angry that she didn't even eat dinner that night.
Groups of people came to the city gate specifically to see the "Jade Seal Notice". No matter when, there were always some scholars explaining the truth to the people.
Zhou Jinyan, who was sitting at the tea stall at the city gate, looked at the bulletin board and let out a cold snort, which was solved quickly.
Wei Bai, who was opposite him, sighed: "It's better now, Miss Jian Er is fine!"
Zhou Jinyan frowned slightly when he heard this, and felt a little restless. The emperor's brother was also fooled? !
As early as when the Jian family's ancestors and grandsons entered the palace, he guessed that the two of them should go to the emperor to make the decision. That night, facing his "life-seeking" assassin, the two girls Jian were able to find ways to lure and save their lives. This matter must not go away. Will sit back and wait for death.
Zhou Jinyan just didn't expect that the imperial brother would go so far. Not only did he solve the problem, but he also gave Jian Yu face. What did she say in the palace?
"Master, Wei Ying said that when Taifu Jian led Miss Jian to the royal study, the emperor asked all the waiting servants to go out, so no one heard the conversation."
Wei Bai said about the reply he got.
In the palace, Zhou Jinyan had his own secret line, which he had prepared to guard against the Queen Mother, but now it came in handy.
Zhou Jinyan frowned slightly, raised his tea cup and drank it all in one gulp, that's all, it didn't matter.
There are actually two ways for the Jian family to take this matter. The first is to solve the problem as it is now and improve their reputation. The second is to take advantage of this rumor and put aside the marriage.
The Jian family chose the former.
It is rumored that Mrs. Jian dotes on Miss Jian. If he is really good for his granddaughter, how can he let her marry a dead man and spend her whole life together!
The day after tomorrow will be the first seven days. After this incident, the engagement is finalized.
Zhou Jinyan's eyes widened. It seemed that he had to go and meet Miss Jian tonight.
