After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

Chapter 379 Letter from the Qiang King

At this time, the courtyard of the Marquis of the Shen family was brightly lit.

The room was full of people.

Even the little ones, who had just learned to read, were asked to sit on chairs.

This was the most complete trip the Shen family had taken since returning to Shangjing.

Due to various things, Shen Jinyao and others had only been back for two days when so many things happened. They hadn't even had a meal together.

I didn't expect that when we got together, we would talk about such a big thing.

After returning home, Shen Jinyao went straight to find Shen Maoshan who had just left court.

After hearing this, Shen Maoshan's face turned very ugly.

He asked Shen Zhixue to call everyone over.

This is a matter concerning the fate of the Shen family, and everyone has to listen.

What about women?

They have been confiscated and exiled once, so even if they are not afraid, they must be notified if it happens again.

Otherwise, if the decree is really issued tomorrow, the Shen family will be like being fried on that stone slab.

Shen Maoshan believed that after the Shen family was confiscated and exiled, everyone's hearts were united.

As for Shen Tingyao, there is no need to say more.

She would be the eldest prince's wife in the future, so it would have been better for her to know about matters concerning the family's interests earlier.

Except for Shen Jinyao and Shen Maoshan, everyone thought there was some happy news to be told.

I didn’t expect that it was indeed a happy event, it was Shen Jinyao’s wedding.

The eldest lady sighed after hearing this. Who would have thought that such a frightening thing would happen after just two days in Shangjing.

Thinking about Jin Yao, she does feel a bit pitiful.

The others thought so too.

Shen Maoshan saw that everyone looked a little heavy.

"The fate of the Shen family is closely related to everyone present here. If we can survive the exile, we will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty."

The master nodded, "Yes."

The third master echoed, "Of course."

The others followed suit, and Shen Zhiyong, who had just returned home, clenched his fists.

Shen Zhixin and Shen Zhixue's faces were even colder.

Shen Jinyao didn't say anything, just looked at everyone indifferently. A closer look revealed that her eyes were not focused.

Mrs. Shen had already burst into tears. How could her Jin'er be so unlucky?

He was actually coerced by the emperor.

Shen Tingyao was a little scared.

No wonder the eldest prince begged the emperor to arrange a marriage for him that day. It turned out that the emperor just wanted the daughter of the Shen family to enter the palace as a concubine.

In order to control the Shen family.

The prince lost a powerful helper.

No wonder the way the emperor looked at her that day made her feel a little uncomfortable.

At that time, she was only concerned with the nervousness of meeting the emperor and the shock of the eldest prince's request for an arranged marriage, and she had no time to think about it carefully.

The eldest prince's feelings for her were indeed genuine.

But he couldn't be so anxious as to marry her as soon as he returned to Shangjing.

What's more, there are things happening on the Queen's side.

While she was moved by everything the eldest prince had done for her, she also understood that the eldest prince was not as the rumors said.

On the other hand, he was really worried about Shen Jinyao.

She thought about it and then recounted in detail what had happened between her and the eldest prince.

Including what happened between the two people in the Western Regions.

She said to everyone, "The reason why the eldest prince told Mr. Xiang the news must be that he felt a little guilty. In short, I want to say that the eldest prince is trustworthy."

After she finished speaking, everyone had an indescribable expression on their face.

She explained: "I'm not doing this for myself. I want to say that no matter who I marry in the future or who the eldest prince is now, he is worthy of the Shen family's trust."

Shen Maoshan grasped the key point.

"Are you saying that the eldest prince has no interest in the throne?"

Shen Tingyao nodded. "Although it's not 100% confirmed, this is the case for now."

In that case, Shen Jinyao's matter is easier to discuss.

The emperor wanted to use the eldest prince and the crown prince to compete with each other so that he could reap the benefits.

But if the eldest prince doesn't have this intention, then everything will be easy.

Almost everything indicates that the prince will achieve great things.

Then Shen Jinyao's situation has taken a turn for the better today.

As long as we deal with the emperor's matter this time, everything will be easy later.

Shen Zhizheng suddenly said, "Jin'er, have you read the letter I sent you?"

Shen Jinyao nodded and glanced at the envelope on the table next to her.

That was the letter sent by Murong Wencheng.

The letter talked about the current situation of the Qiang people. In the past few months, the Qiang people have gradually settled down.

These details were not discussed in detail, but a large amount of space was spent on talking about the trip to Kyushu.

He also said he wanted to see her.

"Jin Yao, what I said before still stands. I hope you will reconsider it."

Shen Zhizheng knew that even if he didn't know what the letter said, he could probably guess it.

Ever since they left Jiuzhou Kingdom, the Qiang King Murong Wencheng had been communicating with him.

There was nothing else in the letter except about Shen Jinyao.

Murong Wencheng has always been concerned about how Shen Jinyao is doing and asked him not to tell Shen Jinyao.

Shen Zhizheng thought about it and felt that Murong Wencheng was just asking about Shen Jinyao's recent situation. Considering that he was also a sentimental person, he agreed.

Therefore, Murong Wencheng knew everything that had happened to Shen Jinyao recently.

After hearing what Shen Jinyao said tonight, Shen Zhizheng thought of the Qiang King for some reason.

If Jin'er went to the Qiang tribe, the emperor would definitely not go looking for her.

It’s just that the Shen family needs to hold on for a while.

But Jin'er's safety is more important.

So he gave Shen Jinyao the letters that Murong Wencheng had sent him these days.

In addition, there is also a letter that Murong Wencheng wrote specifically to Shen Jinyao.

This was the letter Murong Wencheng wrote specifically to Shen Jinyao when he knew he was coming to Shangjing.

It was delivered today.

Shen Zhizheng told Shen Jinyao everything about their correspondence.

In the current situation, Shen Zhizheng only felt that it was fortunate that he did not reject Murong Wencheng at that time.

In this way, Jin'er will have another favorable choice.

The Qiang King will soon come to Jiuzhou Kingdom to celebrate the Emperor's birthday and the Crown Prince's enthronement ceremony.

Originally, the Qiang King came to Jiuzhou Kingdom only to wait for the new king to ascend the throne, and the two countries needed to interact.

Unexpectedly, yesterday the emperor insisted on inviting the kings of the other three neighboring countries to the court.

They even moved his birthday forward and postponed the date of the crown prince's coronation ceremony.

There were many different opinions in the court, and everyone was arguing fiercely.

This is a grand event that has never happened since Kyushu was founded.

The emperor said that this was a demonstration of Kyushu's national strength.

Only in this way can we avoid constant harassment from small border countries.

In the past years, the four countries of Northern Xiongnu, Southern Barbarians, Western Regions, and Qiang were all defeated by the Kyushu Kingdom.

This is entirely thanks to Xiang Jiajun.

After the Kyushu Kingdom was stabilized, the emperor selected three capable generals from the Xiang family army to guard the remaining three borders.

At that time, Xiang Jiajun was still Xiang Hongxuan's great-grandfather.

Then there is Xiang Hongxuan’s grandfather, his father, and then Xiang Hongxuan.

Four generations of the Xiang family protected the Zhao family's kingdom for three generations.

Every generation of emperors would select people from the Xiang family army, and the people they chose were all the leaders and generals of the Xiang family army.

Therefore, every ten years or so, the Xiang family army would be reshuffled.

In addition, Kyushu has suffered from natural disasters continuously in the past few years, which has aroused the concerns of neighboring countries.
