Chapter 10: Conspiracy
After the news spread that Zhou Yi and Yangyun were going to be engaged, Shen Qingying's father Shen Yan was very displeased, and talked to his sister Shen Yu, the wife of Wei Guo, several times. Shen Yu was really impatient, so she simply told her brother that this matter involved the interests of the two countries, and it was not for her to call the shots alone.
"But you also know that Qingying has liked Chen Li since she was a child, and now she knows that Chen Li is going to marry a royal lord of Gaoyang Kingdom, and she doesn't talk or laugh all day long, although she eats three meals a day normally, but she has lost a few laps of weight. Qingying has always been by your side since she was a child, if you see her now, I'm afraid you will feel more distressed than me. "Chen Li" is Zhou Yi's small character. Shen Yan didn't care about people saying that his daughter was not ashamed, and he fell in love with a man, so he came to his sister every once in a while to say so.
According to him, Shen Qingying, who was originally slender, should have become skinny now.
Shen Yu didn't bother to pay attention to him, she originally liked Qingying, and her mother's Shen family had a deep foundation in the Wei State, and there were three queens, and she was the fourth. It wasn't until the first emperor descended to Yan, and later it was her turn to marry into the Zhou family, that she only became a "lady" and did not have the dignity of a "queen". She naturally understands her husband's hard work, although she also likes Qingying, but thinking that Zhou Yi, who has always been picky, actually looks down on that Yangyun, she thinks that Yangyun is also good. At first, when Zhou Daozhao told her, she still didn't believe it, and deliberately detained Zhou Yi to speak when Shen Qingying came, and sure enough, her son didn't care about Qingying, and he didn't even bother to show his former pleasant face.
Shen Yu only said that she really liked Qingying, but this matter was a big deal, and she couldn't do anything about it, so she sent Shen Yan away.
In fact, Shen Qingying should eat, sleep, and sleep, she does like her second cousin, but she has been educated to be obedient and kind since she was a child, since the second cousin likes other women, and that woman came for the marriage between the two countries, Shen Qingying feels that there is nothing wrong, but she doesn't want others to propose marriage for the time being. Since the news of the second cousin's marriage came out, there have been two days when someone came to the door in the past three days, and what they said openly and secretly was about her media. Shen Qingying thought that when her second cousin was engaged, it would not be too late for her to discuss marriage.
Shen Yan was really angry when he came home and saw his daughter who was nothing, but he couldn't be angry with his daughter, so he closed the door and lay on the bed at night and nagged his wife Xue for a long time before falling asleep.
Gao was also very anxious, but she really had nothing to do. Gao Yangguo was originally indisputable with the world, and the news about the current situation that Gao could hear was very limited, and her eyelids were already shallow, and she only wanted to occupy a top position in her own family, so she naturally didn't know anything about the world's major affairs.
Hearing that Wei intended to marry, the Gao family was very happy at first, but the other party fell in love with the eccentric Yang Yun. If Yangyun marries into Wei, Gao's own daughter will have less hope. Yangyun will definitely help her own sister when she marries Wei Guo, and she will also pay attention to a good family affair for Yangxiao, if Yangyun's sisters marry well, her daughter will be compared.
Gao was unhappy in his heart, although he restrained himself from being angry with others, he secretly hoped that Yangyun's marriage would fall through, as for whether it was because Wei repented of his marriage or the second son died violently, it didn't matter.
In addition to Shen Yan and Gao, there are other people who are very concerned about the marriage, but the difference is that he has the ability to stir up. This person is Yanhuang Wuyue, who is far away in the Yandu near the water.
Wu Yue was already afraid of the increasingly powerful Wei State, but Zhou Daozhao's actions made him unable to find any fault, and it was not the first time that the subject country and Gao Yang had a friendship, and there was a marriage between the subject country and Gao Yang since the early three or four emperors, and Emperor Yan at that time did not interfere. If Wu Yue made things difficult for Wei or attacked Gaoyang because of this, he would naturally be criticized by the world. Even if you find a famous head teacher, everyone knows it, and other subject countries are afraid that they will have a grudge against him from now on, and even unite to rebel against him, then he will not be able to sit on the throne.
What's more, Zhou Dao Zhaoxian's fame is spread far and wide all over the world, and Gao Yangguo is the attendant of the legendary gods, even if he really takes advantage of it, he can't move it.
Wu Yue has a slanderer named Bao Qixun by his side, who likes to follow Wu Yue's wishes to make bad ideas on weekdays, and Wu Yue is becoming more and more faint due to old age, and in recent years, he has become more and more fond of listening to Bao Qixun's words. Now Bao Qixun saw that Wu Yue was upset, and guessed that it was because of the marriage between Wei and Gaoyang, which had been rumored in recent days, so he thought of another idea.
Wu Yue was upset and stared at the secret report box for a long time.
"Your Majesty is worried about the marriage between Zhou Daozhao and Gao Yang?" Bao Qixun bowed down and stood in front of Wu Yue, raised his face and looked at him with a smirk, and asked straight to the point.
"Hmm." Wu Yue loves to ignore it, he really has a headache.
"The minister is stupid. Since the marriage hasn't started yet, and it's just a rumor at the moment, why bother about it? ”
Wu Yue looked at him fixedly, sneered, and said:
"Humph! Rumor? Where did it come from? It's groundless, and it's true. ”
"Your Majesty, even if the rumors are true, since Wei and Gao Yang have not yet started to discuss marriage, it is as if there is no such thing. In my humble opinion, what if you are discussing your relatives? I haven't booked for a day, and I still can't count it. Seeing that Wu Yue was still silent, Bao Qixun smiled again, "Before the engagement is settled, who knows if there will be any changes." Who can guarantee where the big lord of Gaoyang will marry? ”
Wu Yue's eyes couldn't help but light up as he listened: Why didn't he think of inserting a lever from it? Although he is not sure about Gaoyang Kingdom, Wei State is at least a subject country of Dayan Kingdom, if he immediately makes a clear intention to marry Gaoyang, Zhou Daozhao will naturally not mention it again, and it is expected that Zhou Daozhao will not tear his face with him for this matter. Wu Yue suddenly came to his senses, sat up straight, and asked Bao Qixun:
"If you have anything to say, you might as well say it."
"I think I forgot to be busy, a month ago, I said that I wanted to continue the strings for the prince, isn't there a suitable person now? Since the big lord of Gaoyang Kingdom can be favored by Zhou Daozhao and them, it is also good to think about it. Why don't you prepare a generous gift and go to Gaoyang to ask the prince to marry the prince? ”
Wu Yue was first happy when he heard this, and then suddenly frowned and shook his head.
If the King of Gaoyang really has an excellent character and marries his son, wouldn't it be equivalent to digging a pit for himself?
The prince is now able to cage the courtiers of half the dynasty, and the clan relatives and old ministers also respect the prince very much, which is originally a heart disease of Wu Yue. In addition, the crown prince's biological mother, the queen of the current Great Yan Kingdom, the Qian family, has some means, and the Qian family has a very deep foundation in the court. After thinking about it for a long time, Wu Yue finally said:
"That's it. Zhou Daozhao is nothing compared to the crown prince. ”
"Marrying Gao Yang may not be the only way to marry and be the crown princess." Bao Qixun lowered his eyebrows and smiled.
