Chapter 400 The Marriage Has Been Determined

When discussing matters the next day, Murong Jie stopped Master Cui, "I heard from the Empress Dowager that you recommended Liang Shulin as your son-in-law, right?"

Master Cui said: "Yes, the prince has also heard about it? Commander Liang is warm-hearted, honest and loyal, and the most rare thing is that he also has a deep affection for the princess."

Murong Jie heard that Master Cui was full of praise for Liang Shulin, smiled lightly, and played with the jade wrench in his hand, "I don't know that Master Cui also has contacts with the Liang family."

Lord Cui was startled, and waved his hands again and again, "Your Majesty, don't get me wrong, this official has no relationship with the Taifu, it's just that Commander Liang saved the official's life a few days ago, and he is the official's benefactor. Later, the official invited him to a banquet to thank him. The reason why he refused to come was because the officials invited him over and over again, and after in-depth discussions later, it turned out that he was not taken seriously in the Liang family, and the Taifu didn't like him, so he was suppressed."

"Saved your life? What's going on?" Murong Jie asked with his eyes locked tightly.

Master Cui said: "Speaking of which, it happened three days ago. On the way home, Xiaguan encountered an assassin. Fortunately, Commander Liang happened to pass by, injured the assassin, and saved Xiaguan's life. A lonely soul."

"There is such a thing?" Murong Jie said angrily, "Under the Son of Heaven, you dare to assassinate my Dazhou official, can the assassin be caught?"

"I didn't take it away, I ran away." Master Cui said helplessly: "It's nothing, the lower officials are more mean, so naturally they offended some people, and it's not surprising that some people want to buy the lower officials' lives."

"Has this kind of thing happened before?" Murong Jie asked.

"No, this is the first time, so the lower officials didn't take precautions."

"Be more careful in the future. This king will send people to protect your safety. By the way, you said he has a deep love for the princess, so where do you start?" Murong Jie asked.

Master Cui said with a smile: "I had an in-depth conversation with Commander Liang that night, and I realized that he had always admired the princess, but he knew that his status was low, so he dared not propose marriage, because he had the princess in his heart. He has never married so far, which is rare. "

"He asked you to recommend him to be your son-in-law?"

"No, just after hearing what he said, the lower official asked him, are you still willing to marry the princess? He said he would like it, but he also knew that the empress dowager would not like him, so he didn't dare to propose it. So, the lower official So I wrote a letter of recommendation to the Empress Dowager, which can be regarded as a repayment for his life-saving grace."

Murong Jie nodded, "I see."

He then carefully asked about the details of the assassination, and after asking, he had a good idea.

After leaving the palace, he asked Ni Rong to investigate the matter secretly.

"My lord suspects that the assassination was arranged by someone?" Ni Rong asked.

"That's right, Lord Cui said, the assassin's martial arts are not that high, he can dodge several times without knowing martial arts, but Yi Liang Shulin's martial arts only hurt him but couldn't capture him, and let him run away, this Doesn't it make people suspicious?"

Ni Rong said: "Perhaps, he is worried about Master Cui, so he can't care about chasing the assassin."

"Master Cui is not injured, and he has servants to take care of him. Besides, there is no need to chase after him. Liang Shulin's martial arts are very good. Three or four guards in the palace may not be able to get close to him. An assassin with average martial arts skills can't do ten moves. can be captured."

"That's just acting. Master Cui doesn't know martial arts, so he didn't see it." Ni Rong cupped his hands, "The subordinates will go and investigate immediately."

It is not difficult at all to find out what happened that night. Ni Rong first asked Master Cui and the people who followed him that night to describe the appearance of the assassin, and then asked Lord Danqing to draw a picture. Master Cui said that the assassin was injured and there was no record of leaving the city. If you are injured, you must find a doctor. After checking in several medical clinics, you have already recognized the person in the portrait.

This person lives in the Donglai Inn. He is from Suizhou. He has been in the city for more than half a year with the residence registration office issued by the Suizhou household registration office. Live in Beijing temporarily.

According to Ni Rong's investigation, he hardly works and does not make a living, but he has enough expenses every month. He eats, drinks, and dresses luxuriously, as if he is supported by someone.

Ni Rong told Murong Jie what he had learned from the investigation, and Murong Jie said: "You investigate again, how many people like him are there in Beijing."

"My lord suspects..."

"This king guesses that there will be many such people. They should have a contact person, and find a way to find this contact person." Murong Jie said.

"Yes, the subordinate will check immediately."

The Empress Dowager invited Yuedong King and Murong Jie into the palace, and discussed about the candidate for the son-in-law. After the Yuedong King saw it, he felt that Liang Shulin was more suitable.

So, when he asked Murong Jie for his opinion, Murong Jie said, "I have no opinion."

The Empress Dowager said: "Since everyone has no objections, the Ai family must see this Liang Shulin."

The King of Eastern Yue said: "He is on duty in the Eastern Palace, let him come here."

"Alright." The Empress Dowager then ordered people to pass on Liang Shulin.

Liang Shulin is not very old, but his appearance is relatively mature. He is in his early twenties and looks like he is about 30 years old, but invisibly gives people a loyal and honest image. Moreover, he talks well, is courteous, and has no military general at all. That kind of rudeness, which pleased the Empress Dowager.

"Aijia heard that you have long been interested in the princess, is it true?" After the empress dowager reviewed the hardware, she began to ask core questions.

Liang Shulin felt unnatural in the slightest, "I...I know I'm not good enough for the princess."

"No man in the world is worthy of her, but the Empress Dowager only asks if you have feelings for her." Yuedong King said.

In his heart, this little sister is the most beautiful, no man can match her, not even Xiao Xiao.

However, she has to find someone to live in. Hey, his family has grown old cabbages for more than 20 years...

Liang Shulin immediately replied: "Yes, I have admired the princess for a long time, if I can marry the princess, I will spare no expense."

The empress dowager nodded with satisfaction, "Then, if you marry the princess, you have to live in the princess mansion, and you will be independent from the Liang family. Money and all kinds of interests are not allowed, are you willing?"

Liang Shulin said, "I am willing!"

The empress dowager smiled, "Okay, then go back and prepare. The Ai family will order someone to draw up a decree first. The decree will be read out in the early morning tomorrow, and the marriage will be scheduled for the day after tomorrow. It's a bit rushed, but, you know, it's not right." It's tricky."

"I don't care whether the wedding is grand or not, I only care about the bride." Liang Shulin choked up and said, there seemed to be tears in his eyes.

Seeing this, the empress dowager said that he really loves the princess, and sighed softly, "Okay, you can go."

Although this person is not Zhuang Zhuang's favorite, but he likes Zhuang Zhuang better than those who come here for money. Zhuang Zhuang is a pure person, she likes all pure things.

After Liang Shulin left, the Empress Dowager looked at Murong Jie, "Then this is the end of the matter?"

"The queen mother is my aunt's sister-in-law, you and the emperor have the final say." Murong Jie laughed.

The empress dowager looked at him, "You have a weird smile, the Ai family always thinks you've kept a hand."

Murong Jie laughed loudly, "Queen Mother, I am happy to smile, my little aunt is getting married."

After finishing speaking, he got up to leave, went out to the door, saw Eunuch Sun, and Eunuch Sun bowed, he stood still and looked at Eunuch Sun, "Grandpa grew up watching little aunt Zhuang Zhuang, didn't he?"
