Chapter Seventy-Seven: Selling Women for Peace
Until the autumn hunt of that year, Fu Xiu won His Majesty's prize among a group of young children, and in front of everyone's eyes, he brazenly resigned his reward and asked His Majesty to marry Princess Rongxin. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar!
"This kid is so bold, but he is just a little scribe, and he is simply a toad who wants to eat swan meat!"
"How dare you? How can a princess marry an unknown husband? ”
"Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!"
・・・・・・
His Majesty did not agree or refuse, and did not even ask why, everyone regarded it as a farce.
After all, one is a royal princess and the other is a small official, and not everyone will be so whimsical.
In the autumn of the following year, Rongxin's dowry crossed the streets of Jinling, and she resolutely married in Fengguan Xiawei, and since then she has lived in simplicity between the Hou Mansion and the Eldest Princess's Mansion.
Upon learning of Fu Xiu's death, the eldest princess almost collapsed and couldn't close her eyes all night long. Midnight dream, the deceased seemed to be there, she seemed to be able to hear his breathing, turned over in surprise, it turned out that everything was just an illusion. On the mandarin duck pillow, who relies on Mengsi people?
She has always thought that he has become the biggest winner in this marriage full of interests and schemes. Therefore, she didn't dislike him, nor did she like him, so she made do with it and became a husband and wife who respected each other.
Fu Xiu came from Southern Qi, his parents and relatives died in the war, and there was no protection of the upper family in Beiwan; And she maintains a delicate connection with the royal family, understands and respects each other, and has a sense of mutual help in firewood, rice, oil and salt.
Mama Chen looked at the eldest princess leaning on the back of the chair, her eyes were far away, knowing that her mind was no longer here. Princess Rong Nobunaga finally came back to her senses from the past, she was still looking at the painting on the table in her hand, and her eyes never left the painting for a moment: "There is no way to do this palace, the Hou Ye has only been gone for a few days, and you can see that his subordinates are all anxious in boiling water." Nanqiao is also close to the East Palace, if the palace does not plan in advance, and King Yu will ascend the throne in the future, they will definitely not be soft on the Hou Mansion. ”
"Will the eldest princess worry too much? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ・・・・・・"
"Your Majesty is in the prime of life, who doesn't like a well-behaved child? If it is really spotless, where can you hide from all these years of open guns and hidden arrows? Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? The eldest princess obviously had no intention of continuing to explain. But her heart is very clear, since she has lost her husband, she must do her best to protect her daughter. In the future, it will be either the prince or the king of Yu who will ascend to the high position, if the prince is naturally happy, it will not be in vain that the marquis has worked the relationship between Nanqiao and the prince over the years; If it is the king of Yu who is on the throne, what should he do? What he has in his hands now is just a few old ministers who Fu Xiu used to run.
However, the Hou Mansion has remained neutral for many years, and if it is necessary to say that it has a position, it is naturally closer to the East Palace. It is impossible for King Yu to believe that a few words of allegiance can make him dispel his guard, and the only way to do so is to come up with bigger chips.
And this chip can only be Fu Nanqiao.
Fu Nanqiao is Fu Xiu's only daughter, and only her marriage can truly gain the trust of King Yu. And all this, just for the future, is it worth it or not?
Rong Xin didn't know, but she had no choice, she waved her hand and motioned for Mama Chen to go back to Nanqi, "You talk to her, sooner or later you have to talk, tell her that you don't have to come to me." Since ancient times, marriage has been the order of her parents, if she is unwilling, this palace power should never have a daughter! ”
After all, she still couldn't speak to her personally, she was reluctant and unbearable.
Mama Chen didn't dare to persuade anymore, and the voice of the hourglass by the window sounded gloomy and powerless. She lifted her skirt and softly withdrew.
Saying that, Su Chi learned from Weiming's mouth that Su Yuan had woken up and was overjoyed, and the haze of fear for a while was swept away. Su Yuan had already rushed to the way back to Jinling with Fu Xiu's corpse, but fortunately, the people and horses received by the imperial court had already arrived, and the villains missed a blow, maybe they would stop it!
"What about the eldest prince? With my father? Su Chi really didn't want this to be the case, and after this incident, she finally understood that no matter how noble a family was, it was often only a life target in front of the royal family. In order to protect the royal family, you can only choose to go forward! This is not support and allegiance, but authority and hegemony under the imperial power!
"My subordinates don't know." I haven't seen him for a few months, but Wei Ming still holds this mantra, looking at his ignorant eyes, Su Chi feels a little headache. I don't know if "Su Kill" can be returned?
Su Chi didn't want to talk to him, and turned around to ask Yan Zhi. Wei Ming hurriedly took out a letter from his bosom and presented it with both hands: "The letter that Guogong left for the girl." ”
Su Chi gave her a blank look, didn't she say it would be over earlier?
Soji turned around and opened the envelope, which was covered by Daddy's familiar handwriting.
Maybe it's because of the initial recovery from a serious illness, Su Yuan's words are a little vain, but the general style is still there. In the letter, Su Yuan expressed the following meanings: first, he praised the actions of his children in danger, and warned him not to risk his life again; Second, the eldest prince is already on his way back, and there is no need to interfere in the matter of welcoming the eldest prince back to Jinling; In the end, let Su Chi return to Jinling under the protection of "Su Kill".
Su Chi didn't breathe a sigh of relief after reading it, but frowned, Su Yuan didn't even mention the eldest brother in half a sentence, it's not normal!
Su Chi folded the letter in half in his hand, tearing it into pieces one at a time until he couldn't put it together at all. Only then did he hand the crumbs to Wei Ming behind him, signaling him to burn them, and Su Chi asked again: "Where is Childe now?" ”
"Childe, childe・・・・・・" Didn't Guogong say that the girl would return to Jinling after reading the letter? Is this to be said or not to be said at the moment? Wei Ming was stunned.
"If you don't know, you can go back to Jinling alone, you also see, I don't lack people here." Su Chi has always hated nonsense, and Wei Ming is completely a single-celled creature with a tendon brain, and his appearance is really disappointing to Su Chi. As a close guard by her side, even if she can't handle things properly inside and outside like Sang Yu, at least she shouldn't be so clever!
Wei Ming was really anxious at this moment, and blurted out: "Liaocheng, the son went to Liaocheng!" ”
Su Chi thought about it in his heart, this road was full of twists and turns, and at this moment, the eldest prince could return to Jinling and make an errand with His Majesty, why did Su Cen go to Liaocheng? That's right, it's because of the eldest prince. In the past, the Southern Qi Dynasty was the most powerful country among the Three Kingdoms, and it was a strong country in terms of economy, culture, medicine, and agriculture. That year, Emperor Beiwan died, Emperor Xiande ascended the throne, coincided with internal strife and external worries, Emperor Xiande had no choice but to send his eldest son to Southern Qi as a hostage, which was ten years.
Now, after ten years of hard work by Emperor Xiande, Beiwan's national strength has long been different. On the contrary, it was the important ministers of the Southern Qi Dynasty who controlled the government, and the royal family was incompetent, emphasizing literature over military force, and it was far from being as strong as it used to be. It was at such an opportunity that the crown prince persuaded His Majesty to take back the eldest prince, and I have to say that this move is high! However, if the protons of other countries are allowed to go like this, Nanqi's face will inevitably be gone. So the other party will definitely be difficult, so the eldest brother will appear in Liaocheng? It is the place where the two countries meet!
Wei Ming: "No matter where the girl goes in the future, bring her subordinates!" "If something like this happens again, how will Guogong and Mr. Mo explain it?
"Good! I take you, you take your brain! ”
