2133 It’ll definitely be good for you
Gu Xin had heard of the king of Dong Lin before. He was the same age as her grandfather and rose to power through military merits. He was highly regarded by the late Emperor. Forty years ago, the late Emperor was recalled from his fief by the Empress Dowager. At that time, Yunzhou was in chaos.
The king of Dong Lin had made a great contribution. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor needed a general to intimidate them, and the Peng family was far away in kun state, while the Ying family was in the South. The king of Dong Lin gave the late Emperor An idea, and in the end, he successfully stabilized the country, and was conferred the title of King.
He held the military power in his hands. After helping the Grand Empress Dowager and the late Emperor stabilize the country, he handed over the Tiger tally. With the excuse that he was injured on the battlefield, he withdrew from the Imperial court in his early thirties and moved to his fief, the state of tai.
It was because he was tactful that the Grand Empress Dowager and the late Emperor gave him the fief of tai province. Otherwise, it was impossible for a place so close to the capital to be granted to a Prince with a different surname.
Even now, when the Empress Dowager and Gu Xin and her sisters were chatting, they would talk about the king of Donglin and the princess Consort of Donglin.
The Prince of Donglin was born in the countryside. He was a Hunter in a small village near Yunzhou. After he got married, he served in the military. Because he lived in Yunzhou, he could return to the village every year to visit his wife and children.
When his fourth child was born, the situation was very tense and it took five years to stabilize.
The Empress Dowager was not talking about the Prince of Dong Lin to the children, but the princess of Dong Lin. She was an illiterate village girl, but she had supported the entire Dong Lin family.
The king of Donglin had to listen to the Queen of Donglin for many decisions.
Their family was so tactful, so the royal family was willing to give them face and give them the title of King. Their titles were hereditary, and as long as they did not rebel or do anything detrimental to the great Zhou, their Thrones could be passed down from generation to generation. Every daughter of the King of Dong Lin was directly conferred the title of Princess from the moment she was born.
“Lord Qin, I’ve heard of this Dong Lin King. Their Prince died of illness a few years ago. Is it because the king of Dong Lin hasn’t asked for the title of Prince?” Gu Xin asked.
“That’s right. Logically speaking, the eldest son of the Donglin Prince had already married and had a child. The Prince had passed away, so the position of the Prince should be the eldest grandson of the Donglin Prince’s residence. However, I don’t know why the Wang family has never invited the Crown Prince.” Mr. Qin replied.
“Alright, I’ll go to the palace first. Make some arrangements here. I’ll probably be able to set off after I leave the palace.” Gu Xin nodded her head and said.
“Alright, Princess. I’ll send Xiao Qiu, he gang, and he Qiang to go with you. You can bring the rest of the people yourself, or you can find the people from the government office when you reach the capital. By the way, I’ve also helped you transfer Constable Gao over.” Lord Qin said.
“Thank you. I’ll take my leave then.” Gu Xin greeted Zheng Qiu and asked the court of judicial Review’s carriage to send her to the palace.
“My Lord,” After sending Gu Xin off, Zheng Qiu seemed to have something to say.
“Xiao Qiu, following Princess Xinxin will definitely be good for you. Just do your job well!” Mr. Qin patted Zheng Qiu’s shoulder.
“Alright,” he said. In the end, Zheng Qiu did not say anything.
She didn’t want to go to the Prince of Dong Lin’s residence because she had an engagement when she was young. It was personally decided by the Prince of Dong Lin and the Marquis of Yong ‘an. However, she was harmed by her stepmother, so her engagement was naturally arranged by her stepmother to her daughter.
Her stepmother was a concubine, and her stepmother’s daughter was two years older than her. She was now married to the eldest grandson of the king of Donglin. She didn’t want to meet those people now.
