Chapter 32 The matchmaker comes
The next thing that everyone in the capital is paying attention to is the assassination of Han Wu. However, no clues about the culprits were found, but careful work was able to uncover two.
One after another, officials came forward to impeach Han Wu.
If Emperor Jingping was kind to his dead ministers at first, as the number of impeachments increased, he finally believed that Han Wu was not a good person.
How dare you blind my eyes!
Emperor Jingping was furious. When he saw many evidences that Han Wu had neglected his duties and used the public for private purposes, he ordered the Han family to be raided, let alone treated him favorably. When countless gold and silver properties were found, Han Wu's evil deeds were further confirmed, so the female family members were assigned to the Jiaofang Division, and the men were sent to the frontier.
On the day Han Ziheng left Beijing on the road to exile, Qiu Heng went to see him.
There were many people who came to watch the excitement, and even many children from rich families were among them, watching the plight of this top dandy.
Too many people have been trained by Han Ziheng. Whether they are poor or rich, they are all considered useless in the eyes of this lawless dandy.
But now, he has become a fool.
Someone in the crowd threw a broken straw sandal, which hit Han Ziheng in the face.
Before the escort officer could stop him, more rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs rained down on him.
Qiu Heng saw Zhi Lan.
Amid the bursts of excited curses, Zhilan looked very calm, with only a pair of slightly red eyes staring closely at Han Ziheng.
Qiu Heng couldn't help but raise his lips.
Zhilan did a great job.
This is not her success alone, but their success.
It's a pity that we can't celebrate with wine.
Qiu Heng paced forward, having not had this leisurely mood for a long time.
Perhaps it was a coincidence that the day Han Ziheng left the city in shackles was also the day the border guard general Zhu Qiang returned to Beijing.
The imperial army cannot be leaderless. When Emperor Jingping had lost all affection for Han Wu for many years and decided that he was a sycophant who deceived his superiors and deceived his subordinates, the general who had expressed dissatisfaction with Han Wu and was pushed out of the capital was undoubtedly a good minister.
After a game, General Zhu Qiang became the new commander of the capital in front of the palace and was urgently transferred back to Beijing.
Zhu Qiang was good at military training, wise and brave, and the young emperor's smooth escape south was inseparable from his efforts to stop the menacing Qi army.
At this time, it was still four years before the Northern Qi Dynasty launched a large-scale attack on Daxia and five years before the capital fell. With him in charge of the Forbidden Army, after four years of training, at least he will not be vulnerable to the Qi army.
In Xia, when the country fell, the civil servants and think tanks around the emperor repeatedly discussed and speculated that if Han Wu vacated the position of commander in front of the palace, the most likely person to take over would be Zhu Qiang.
Daxia is rich, and what it lacks is never military spending, or even loyal ministers and good generals, but the right key people in key places.
Looking at the middle-aged general entering the city, Qiu Heng felt more at ease.
Things are developing as speculated. She is only one person, but she is never the only one.
Qiu Heng returned to the uncle's house and continued to serve the incense materials. I thought it would be a peaceful and peaceful few days, but unexpectedly something new happened the next day: two matchmakers came to the gate of Yongqing Bo Mansion at the same time.
When the old lady saw the two matchmakers in a subtle atmosphere, her mood was also subtle.
When the granddaughters are just growing up, it is not uncommon for a matchmaker to come to visit them occasionally, but this is the first time they have been together.
"I wonder why you two are here?"
The two matchmakers looked at each other, neither of them wanting to speak first.
The old lady then focused her attention on the one wearing brown jacket.
The matchmaker smiled and explained his purpose: "The young lady is seeking to marry the second girl of your house on behalf of the fourth son of the Marquis of Xiping."
When the other matchmaker heard this, his expression relaxed.
Making trouble for a long time is not a competitor.
"Xipinghou Mansion?" The old lady was a little surprised.
Yongqingbo's Mansion and Xipinghou's Mansion do have a friendly relationship, but they are not close. To be precise, the Xipinghou Mansion has a rather high profile compared to the Yongqing Bo Mansion. Their family actually came to ask for the wife of their second girl?
The old lady's heart was filled with heat, and if it wasn't for the woman's reserve, she would have been unable to hold her mouth shut.
"The Fourth Young Master Zhao is the youngest son of Madam Hou. He is deeply loved by Lord Hou and Madam Hou. He is just nineteen years old this year and is about the same age as the second girl in your mansion..."
The old lady couldn't help but nodded and looked at the other matchmaker.
The matchmaker smiled and said: "The little woman is here for the sixth girl of your house."
The old lady was stunned.
Six girls?
Isn't this possible? Not to mention that the girl is still young. She has only been here from the southern countryside for more than a month and someone is asking her to marry her?
At this moment, the old lady even began to doubt herself.
The uncle looked up to the sixth girl as if possessed by a demon, and several of his granddaughters were also affectionate towards the girl. Now someone actually chose her as his wife. It seemed that everyone liked the girl, but she was the only one who didn't want to see her.
But the sixth girl grew up in the countryside! I lost my mother when I was young! Even the adoptive parents died early!
Is the world abnormal, or is she abnormal?
The old lady seemed to be in a daze, doubting life, and the matchmaker coughed.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Oh, I wonder which house it belongs to?"
"He is the second son of Commander Cui, the deputy commander of the Infantry Army." The matchmaker was confident when he said this.
Commander Cui, the deputy commander of the capital, was only a senior general with real power under Bu Commander, and he somehow fell in love with a shabby settlement like Yongqing Bo's Mansion.
The old lady was even more shocked than when she heard that the Marquis of Xiping wanted to marry his second granddaughter.
It turns out that he is not a small family trying to climb high!
What happened to this world?
"I have to discuss this important matter of marriage with my uncle and the girls' parents." The old lady resisted the urge to agree.
"This is nature."
The two matchmakers stood up and left.
The old lady immediately sent someone to call Uncle Yongqing.
Uncle Yongqing rushed back to his residence, confused: "What's so urgent?"
"Two matchmakers came, asking to marry the second girl and the sixth girl."
"Which two?"
"The person who wants to marry the second girl is the Marquis of Xiping, and the person who wants to marry the sixth girl is the Cui family, the deputy commander of the Infantry Division."
Uncle Yongqing took a breath: "They're all good!"
The old lady smiled and nodded: "I think so too, then give the two families a reply?"
Uncle Yongqing calmed down and waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'll think about it later."
The various turmoils in the Front Division have not affected the Infantry Division, so it is best to wait and see.
There is no problem with the Xiping Marquis Mansion, but it is obviously the Yongqing Mansion that has taken the upper hand.
"You talk to the second child and his wife, and if there is no problem, we can settle the matter of the second girl. The second girl is not young either... As for the Cui family, I'll ask the sixth girl what she thinks."
Looking at Uncle Yongqing's leaving figure, the old lady was dumbfounded.
What do you mean by Liu Yatou?
Uncle, do you know what nonsense you are talking about?
In fact, Uncle Yongqing didn't really care about Qiu Heng's thoughts, but the death of Han Wu made him want to wait for the personnel affairs of Sanya to stabilize, but he was afraid of missing out on this good marriage.
"The Cui family wants to marry me?" After hearing what Uncle Yongqing said, pictures flashed in Qiu Heng's mind.
The ju ball flew towards her with malice, and the boy invited her to play Cuju with malice.
It's Han Ziheng's friend Cui Er.
After meeting the master, Qiu Heng was greatly confused.
