Chapter 183 Three Kingdoms Marriage Proposal
The next morning, there was a storm in the court.
After the Jin Kingdom hired Jiucheng to marry Princess Nanyang, the Southern Kingdom also rushed to send a letter of credence.
The visitor was a young white-robed general. After clearly expressing his intention to marry Princess Nanyang, he said forcefully: "General Rong, the envoy of the Southern Kingdom, is already on his way here. After arriving in Shengjing, he will discuss the matter with His Majesty the Emperor in detail. , please consider it carefully, His Majesty the Emperor!”
The whole court was in an uproar, and the court seemed to have suddenly exploded.
"Isn't the empress in charge of the Southern Kingdom? Why are you joining in the fun?"
"Yeah, this...are you sure you're not fooling us?"
"Is Princess Nanyang so famous? Even the most powerful Southern Kingdom does not hesitate to send people to ask for her hand in marriage..."
But the person in power in the Southern Kingdom is Her Majesty the Empress, so the Empress cannot marry the princess.
Why did Yan Li suddenly become the man that the two countries were vying to marry?
It is a blessing for this country to ask for a wife, but it is a disaster for the two countries to ask for a wife.
Well, what if there is a marriage proposal from the Three Kingdoms?
"Your Majesty!" A figure walked up to the palace quickly and knelt down on one knee, "Your Majesty, the letter of credence sent by Pegasus from Northern Xinjiang states that it is willing to negotiate peace with the Kingdom of Mu, on the condition that he asks to marry Princess Nanyang!"
After the words fell, all the ministers in the court suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere was stagnant and tense, as if on the verge of breaking out.
The young general from the Southern Kingdom turned his head and glanced at the speaker, and then bowed his hands to Emperor Zhaocheng: "As far as I know, Northern Xinjiang and the Kingdom of Jin are both ambitious countries, and they have been provoking wars with the Kingdom of Mu all the year round. As long as there is any manly spirit, he will definitely not send the princess to these two countries for marriage. "
As soon as these words came out, the air in the hall became more and more stagnant.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were as quiet as chickens.
The officials who suggested sending Yan Li to the Kingdom of Jin for marriage last time, headed by the prime minister, all looked embarrassed and ugly.
"This young general is right." King Jing seemed to have suddenly met a confidant, and he echoed loudly, "The Kingdom of Jin is ambitious. Not to mention that it is impossible for them to cede nine cities for betrothal. Even if the betrothal gift is true, we should have No matter how generous you are, you will never associate with a jackal!"
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Gu's face darkened visibly, but for some reason he seemed to have suddenly become mute and never spoke.
Xiao Changhai trembled and ran to His Majesty Dan, presented the document and handed it to Emperor Zhaocheng.
Emperor Zhaocheng read it in silence and asked the messenger in the palace: "When did this document arrive?"
"This morning." The letter soldier replied respectfully, "The messenger originally arrived three days later, but after hearing the news that Jin Guo wanted to marry Princess Nanyang, he accelerated his journey along the way and killed two fast horses, so he arrived two days early. , people are already exhausted.”
The civil and military ministers looked at each other with extremely subtle expressions.
Emperor Zhaocheng put the document on the case and simply laid it out: "Dear ladies, tell me, who should Princess Nanyang marry?"
The ministers all bowed their heads and pretended to be dead.
The young general of the Southern Kingdom seemed to be here to enjoy the scenery. He looked around the ministers in the palace with interest, his expression was leisurely and calm, and he was not in any hurry.
Emperor Zhaocheng's eyes fell on Prime Minister Gu's face: "Prime Minister, please tell me."
"Go back to the emperor." Prime Minister Gu bowed his hands and said, "It is a matter of marriage between countries. I dare not say anything unreasonable, but the emperor makes the decision."
Mu Xiuyu stood silently in front of the courtiers, without any reaction.
"Your Majesty." Shen Yushi came out and bowed in ceremony, "I thought that there must be something fishy in the three kingdoms' request to marry Princess Nanyang at the same time."
Emperor Zhaocheng said: "Shen Aiqing, tell me."
"I venture to guess that it is a lie that they want to marry the Princess of Nanyang. It is true that the three countries want to split the country of Mu through forced marriage." Shen Yushi said respectfully, "If one of them agrees, the other two countries will definitely become angry and use this to raise troops. , then the country of Mu will be in danger instantly.”
