Chapter 370: Dowry
Yi Xun looked at the bad faces of Emperor Xiwu and Empress Duanxi, and felt bitter, but hurriedly coaxed the two to be happy. "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, don't worry, I will treat Xin'er well in the future. I will also be filial to you and treat you as my own father and mother, and I will take my heart back to the west to visit you when I have time! ”
"What you said is true?" Queen Duanxi was overjoyed, but she didn't dare to believe it too much, you must know that the princess who went to kiss almost had no possibility of seeing her parents again, and she would stay in her husband's country for the rest of her life, even if she died, she would be buried there.
"Nature is true!" Yi Xun made a solemn promise, after he got along with Yu Xin yesterday, he knew Yu Xin's deep feelings for Emperor Xiwu and Empress Duanxi. If she never sees her parents again for the rest of her life, she will be very sad. Yi Xun loves Yuxin deeply, and he will definitely not make Yuxin so sad, so he will do everything he can to spoil Yuxin, make her happy and do what she likes.
"It would be better if it did." Queen Duanxi finally smiled a little.
Emperor Xiwu was also very satisfied with Yi Xun's plan. They don't want to see Yuxin often in the future, but they always have to see each other a few times every few years. They only have this one daughter, and the other boys don't care at all, after all, they will marry and have children in the West in the future, and they will not leave their side.
Moreover, Emperor Seibu also had his own plans. After cultivating a successor in the future, she will hand over the burden of the country, and she secretly takes her daughter-in-law to see Yuxin. In fact, Queen Duanxi also has this idea. But her thoughts are still a little different from Emperor Xiwu, she wants that after Yuxin gets married, she sneaks out of the palace to see Yuxin in the Southern Martyrdom, but in the plan, she didn't bring Emperor Xiwu with her.
In any case, Yi Xun finally appeased Emperor Xiwu and Empress Duanxi after a few words, and promised him to set the wedding date on the eighth day of November a month later.
And the marriage between the two countries is not as easy as that of ordinary people getting married. The eighth day of the first month of November is just the day when Yi Xun marries Yuxin, and they have to leave the country from the west to the south from the eighth day of the first month of November.
And the day here must come down, Yi Xun sent the news back to the Southern Martyrdom, and the Qin Tianjian over there also began to choose the date, just waiting for Yi Xun's finalization. And the Ministry of Rites also received the news and began to prepare for various matters related to the prince's wedding. In short, as soon as the news came back, everyone from all sides was busy.
Even the West Departure Country is busy. Especially Queen Duanxi began to prepare a dowry for Yuxin.
In private, Empress Duanxi said to Emperor Xiwu: "The dowry prepared by this stinky boy is not bad, but we can't be compared to him, we must give the best to our hearts, so that the old guy in the Southern Mourning Kingdom will not dare to bully our hearts again." "The old guy refers to Murong Yan, they all know that Murong Yan wants to get rid of Yu Xin, and since Yu Xin came back, they haven't asked a word about the secrets of the Southern Death Kingdom, Emperor Xiwu has tough methods, governs the country well, and does not want war, and has no ambition to conquer the world. So of course I won't ask about the secrets of the Southern Martyrdom. They all felt that Murong Yan, the old guy, was jealous of the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
"Okay, you can do it! Tell me what is lacking and what is missing. "Emperor Xiwu is also willing to Yuxin, who let him and Empress Duanxi give birth to such a daughter? As for Yi Ling, he really has no status in his heart.
"Well, actually! I want to ......" Empress Duanxi pondered whether she should say this or not, she and Emperor Xiwu had been married for so many years, and it was the first time that she had thought about it before speaking.
"What's wrong?" This made Emperor Xiwu very puzzled, the relationship between the two husbands and wives is good, what else is there to say? This is really not the style of Queen Duanxi.
"I have an idea, but I'm afraid you don't agree."
"I'll hear it."
"Just listen, if you don't agree, don't blame Xin'er, this is just my own idea, Xin'er doesn't know!"
"How can I be weird, say it quickly!" Emperor Xiwu became more and more curious, this matter seems to be quite big!
"That's it, that's it! I thought that Yi Xun, this stinky boy actually gave Xin'er ten state cities as a dowry, should we also express it? After speaking, Empress Duanxi looked at Emperor Xiwu with a little apprehension, for fear that he would not be happy. After all, this is not an ordinary private matter, it is about the territory of the country. I believe that no monarch is willing to give up the territory for nothing, and she herself is a little curious, how did Murong Yan, that old guy, agree to give these ten state cities to Yuxin as a dowry. I have to say that my future son-in-law is quite powerful.
"You mean, also give Xin'er some state cities as a dowry?" This dowry matter, Emperor Xiwu really hadn't considered it before, after all, these are all things that a woman's family should worry about, and he only needs to give out the money and things at the critical moment. But after being reminded by Queen Duanxi like this, he really felt that it was necessary.
"That's what I mean. However, if it doesn't work, you don't say it. "If it is other rare treasures, Queen Duanxi will definitely want it. But the national territory is different, and Queen Duanxi is not too embarrassed to open this mouth, but for the sake of her daughter, she still said it.
"It's not impossible." Emperor Xiwu didn't refuse all at once, and he was thinking about it in his heart. This departure from the west will be handed over to the children and grandchildren who succeed to the throne in the future, and this daughter, although she has no right to succeed to the throne, should be okay if she is sent to a few state cities! Moreover, although the West Leaving Country is not the largest territory among the four great powers, the area is not small, and these ten state cities are nothing.
Empress Duanxi didn't speak again, waiting for Emperor Xiwu to think.
Until Emperor Xiwu decided: "Let's also send ten state cities, close to the ten in the Southern Martyr Kingdom." "The dowry of the dearest daughter of the family can't be compared.
"Then, can those courtiers in the court agree?" After hearing Emperor Xiwu's promise, Empress Duanxi breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart was also very happy. But this sending to the state city is not something that can be sent, and it has to pass the courtier's level.
"Although they will nag, it will be fine, with me!" Emperor Xiwu was confident, after all, he relied on his own power to sit on the throne, and when those courtiers were working against him, they had to weigh their own weight.
After this matter was agreed, Emperor Xiwu set about it. It's really not so easy to do, there was a wave of opposition in the court, with Zhai Mao's opposition being the strongest, as if digging the ancestral grave of their old Zhai family, crying bitterly above the main hall to stop Emperor Xiwu.
Emperor Xiwu looked at Zhai Mao with a sneer and asked, "Zhai Qing, do you think that Wuxi is far from being far worse than the Nanyan Kingdom by taking these ten state cities so seriously?" The Southern Martyrdom is willing to send ten state cities as a dowry, can't I afford to send ten state cities as a dowry? ”
"Yes, my emperor is right, my departure from the west must not be compared to the southern country." There are also some people in the court who obey Emperor Xiwu's words, and as long as Emperor Xiwu speaks, they all respond.
"That's not appropriate, Your Majesty, listen to the minister. The princess of Zhenguo is going to marry to the Southern Martyr Kingdom in the future, and the dowry they gave is not still her own. But the dowry sent by Wuxi when he left the country is different, and this gift will not be returned to them to the south of the country? Zhai Mao looked like he had been taken advantage of by the Southern Death Kingdom.
"Lord Zhai's words are wrong, if this is heard by the people of the Southern Martyrdom, won't it affect the relationship between the two countries? The country of Nanyan is rich in land and resources, and it is not enough to be greedy for the princess's dowry. Otherwise, it will make everyone laugh. Immediately, someone spoke out against Zhai Mao's words.
Zhai Mao made another heart-wrenching argument, and finally, he gave a look to a person who had a good relationship with him, and Lord Zhang immediately stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks what Lord Zhai said is very true!" If the precedent for the princess to marry the state city is opened, then the dowries of other princesses in the future will not have to be in the state city, and then the territory of my western departure from the country will be accompanied sooner or later! ”
"Lord Zhang, please be careful! The princess of Zhenguo is the eldest princess of my Xili country, and she is the eldest daughter of the queen's mother, how can other princesses compare? "A minister glared angrily at Lord Zhang, and Emperor Xiwu also looked at Lord Zhang's eyes unkindly.
Lord Zhang glared at the man who spoke fiercely, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The minister is just talking about things, and there is absolutely no intention of disrespecting the queen mother and the princess of Zhenguo." ”
……
After discussing this matter for three days and three nights, Yuxin was shocked, and after she learned about it, she hurriedly went to find Emperor Xiwu. It's just that when he arrived at the imperial study, Emperor Xiwu had just given this matter half an hour ago, and these ten state cities had already been decided, and the master was Yuxin.
When Emperor Xiwu saw that it was Yuxin coming, he waved away the two courtiers in the imperial study, and said with a smile: "Xin'er is here, and my father is looking for you!" Come and see, this will be your private territory in the future. Emperor Xiwu pointed to a large map on the dragon case and said, on which he circled the ten state cities close to the Southern Death Kingdom, which were exactly the dowry for Yu Xin.
"Father, this must not be."
"What is there to dow, the dowry I give to my daughter, who of them dares to say no." Emperor Xiwu raised his eyebrows, and his majesty spread. Yu Xin was stunned at the time, and then thought that his father was really powerful and domineering, but his father in modern times was not a type at all. However, no matter what type of father it is, it is her favorite relative.
"Father, my daughter has not been able to fulfill her filial piety by her side, how can I ask for your state city again?"
"What's not good, this is what your mother and I are willing to give you, and you can take it. Coupled with the ones that Yi Xun gave you, your own territory is not small, see who will dare to bully you in the future? When the time comes, you can raise some more private soldiers in your own territory, and you will no longer have to be afraid of Murong Yan's bullying. "Although Emperor Xiwu and Empress Duanxi didn't mention Murong Yan's matter too much, Murong Yan's pursuit and killing of Yuxin left a pimple in their hearts after all, making them guard all the time. Emperor Xiwu was already silently planning in his heart, and took out a team of people and horses to quietly give it to Yuxin.
"Private soldiers?" Yu Xin was shocked by Emperor Xiwu's idea, but he didn't expect that this father emperor would have the idea of letting himself raise private soldiers, is this the rhythm of wanting to open up another country? No, it should be just a father who is simply afraid that his daughter will be bullied, and it's good to have such a father.
