Chapter 190: It's Not That Simple
Perhaps compared with the only reference Yongwang when they met twice, Huang Qiong always showed generosity and calmness. Perhaps it was the first time she fought against her, Huang Qiong's high skills made Yuan Baoer have a great interest in this new British king. At least in her eyes, Huang Qiong is not as bad as the image of several other princes.
The reason why she ran back to the capital this time was to ask her father when a new king would appear here in the emperor's uncle. It's just that she has been grinding for a long time, and her father only told her not to provoke the British king, and the rest will not say anything. Especially after learning that she and the King of England have met, and after her father made a hexagram, her face has not been good-looking.
She ran into the palace at this time, wanting to ask the emperor's uncle, who had always regarded her as her own daughter since she was a child and had a good love for her. It's just that I didn't expect that the emperor's uncle suddenly had the idea of pinching the two people. Frightened, she hurriedly waved her hand to refuse, trying to completely dispel the emperor's idea.
Seeing that this girl didn't agree, and the emperor who had a little daughter's thoughts, he was reluctant to force this girl. just smiled slightly: "The king of England is not the kind of person who cares, and he is also affectionate and righteous, and he is quite qualified as a husband." Although it is not as good as your father, at least among the princes, it can be regarded as affectionate and righteous. ”
"Xiao Bao'er, don't you still believe in the emperor's uncle's eyes? I'll tell you, after this village, there will be no more of this shop. Bao'er refused today, so I pointed him out to someone else. I only hope that Bao'er will not regret it in the future, saying that the emperor's uncle has good things and cannot be ignored by Xiao Bao'er. ”
After the emperor finished speaking, Bao'er remembered her careful thoughts just now, and her little face couldn't help but turn red. But then he shook his head violently and said: "Bao'er won't regret it, no matter how good the king is, he is not a good candidate for a son-in-law in Bao'er's heart." Uncle Emperor, let's hurry up and point him out to others. Uh, Bao'er went to play with Sister Kaneshiro first. ”
After all, this crazy girl who has never been afraid of the sky and the earth actually fled in front of the emperor. Looking at the back of this girl who fled in a hurry, the emperor shook his head and smiled. He wanted to marry this girl to Huang Qiong, although it can't be said to be a temporary idea, but it can be regarded as a certain consideration.
As for the many reasons, first of all, Huang Qiong has indeed reached the age of marriage. But Huang Qiong's marriage gave the emperor a little headache. Although Huang Qiong's mother is different from other princes, she seems to be a little indifferent in this matter. But this matter, he, as a father, can't ignore it.
Huang Qiong's marriage cannot come like other princes, the emperor knows this very well. If that's the case, it may not be a good thing for his ninth son. And the emperor, who has some other ideas at the moment, is also a little reluctant in his heart. But if you compare the crown prince with the king of Shu, the emperor is worried about bringing some unnecessary trouble to Huang Qiong.
Only this Yuan Bao'er is just a little suitable. Although his father is a Qintian supervisor and has won his trust, his official position is high and inconspicuous. And although this girl is a little more autumnal, she has grown up since she was a child, where is her character. Although it doesn't have the demeanor of everyone's ladies, after all, it can be changed when it is still young.
In one, it has something to do with an excerpt. Thinking of this, the emperor turned his gaze to a letter on the imperial case. This is the excerpt of the current king of Guilin County after being the first hero of the founding of the country, and asked the court to give his son and eldest daughter a marriage excerpt.
According to the practice of the Taizong Dynasty, although the palace of Guilin County is said to be a foreign domain, it is treated according to the kings of the clan. The princes of the past dynasties are not divided into descendants, although they are not jade plates, but they must also be entered into the gold book and collected by the Ministry of Rites. The successive generations of the Guilin County Palace, as well as the daughters, must be appointed by the emperor to marry. This is also the imperial court, a means of encircling the royal palace of Guilin County.
If it weren't for the fierceness of the former Tang Dynasty's harem, the emperors of the Great Qi Dynasty had an unwritten custom, that is, to avoid selecting queens from famous dignitaries. The queen's background is mainly low-level officials as much as possible. Relatives only give glory and wealth, but never real power. It's not good, the queen from the palace of Guilin County will occupy half of the queens of the Great Qi Dynasty.
At present, the current king of Guilin County has been called to take his son and eldest daughter to set off from Guilin and travel north, and will arrive in the capital before the year. This person came to the capital this time, not only to discuss some things with the imperial court. I also took advantage of this opportunity to ask the court to marry a son and a daughter, who had reached my age.
This excerpt was specially played to the imperial court when the king of Guilin set off three days ago. Looking at this letter, the emperor's attitude was a little uncertain. This time, the emperor summoned the king of Guilin to Beijing, and the emperor planned to discuss with the king of Guilin, and the imperial court would take back the right to trade with foreign countries, which had been held by the king of Guilin for hundreds of years.
And at this time, this excerpt on the palace of Guilin County is a little intriguing. The imperial court is bound to give some compensation when it takes back the fat in people's mouths. Then in the finger marriage, some special care must be given. In the case that there is really no money to compensate, at least in terms of glory, it is bound to be sufficient.
At present, the Heavenly Family does not have a princess of the right age to be assigned to the Guilin County Palace, so it can only be assigned to the county lord, at least one prince. Originally, the emperor originally planned to point out the county lord to the crown prince as a continuation. The crown princess has been dead for two years, and the east palace is now hanging in the seat. Originally, it was a good idea to marry the county lord to the prince.
What is the crown prince, he is the prince of a country, and he is the future emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty. The current emperor is traveling west, then the throne is his. Pointing this county lord to the crown prince means that this county lord will be the queen of the Great Qi Dynasty in the future. This compensation, for the Guilin County Palace, is also in the past.
But the problem now is that the emperor is becoming more and more dissatisfied with the crown prince. If the county lord is assigned to the crown prince, if he really decides to abolish the crown prince's position as prince in the future, it will inevitably take a lot of effort. At that time, this glory will become a humiliation for the Guilin County Palace.
What's more, although there is no concubine at the moment, there are a bunch of servants in the East Palace. And there are some princes who are not very good at rumors, and it is a supreme honor for other people's families to do the sequel. But for the Guilin County Palace, it is also humiliating. After the first hero of the founding of the country, it is not so easy to dismiss.
Especially now, in order to solve the problem of the annual decrease in the imperial court's annual income, it is preparing to take back the exclusive right of Guilin County to monopolize foreign trade. Some things need to be more cautious. But among the princes, who is more suitable? The most critical question is, who can really afford the future of Daqi?
In fact, although the current emperor says that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh. But in fact, he is quite clear about the real situation in the court at the moment. I also know that it is difficult to truly change the shortcomings of the DPRK and China without experiencing a ruthless move. Those petty fights are just scratching the itch in the boots, and they can't solve the problem at the root.
But the current imperial court really doesn't have the capital to resist too many storms. At least until the revenue problem is resolved and the financial resources are abundant, no change has been made, whether big or small. So under the inspiration of Huang Qiong's Chen, the emperor thought about it for a long time, but decided to make it easy first and then difficult. First solve the problem of insufficient revenue of the imperial court, and then talk about other things.
After all, a penny is forcing a hero to death, let alone such a big one, the court that is reaching out for money everywhere all day long. Compared with offending the world's clans and the huge group of scholars, the Guilin County Mansion is lonely after all. Moreover, the imperial court did not want to completely deprive it, the Guilin County Mansion had monopolized the right to trade for more than 100 years, and just wanted to recover the right to levy taxes.
But even so, it gave the emperor a bit of a headache. It's nothing else, but the prestige of Guilin County's palace that has been passed down for more than 100 years, as well as the huge wealth that claims to have three points of wealth in the world. For the wealth of the Guilin County Palace, the emperor is naturally jealous, but it will not let him be taboo to this part.
The point is that the emperor does not want to take on the name of a persecuted hero. Therefore, he thought of taking advantage of the opportunity to marry his son and eldest daughter to make an equivalent exchange. Of course, this equivalent exchange, that is, reputation. Compared with the huge benefits brought by the exclusive possession of overseas trade every year, what is the name of a crown princess? It's the queen, I'm afraid it's barely enough.
Besides, the royal mansion of Guilin County may not need this false name. There are some things that he, as the Son of Heaven, can't help but throw into the mouse. Looking at the twist and turn in front of him, the emperor couldn't help but feel upset again. Especially after thinking of his sons who were suitable for marriage, the emperor's mind became even more irritable.
At least for now, the emperor thinks that Huang Qiong is the most suitable candidate for marriage. However, among the princes who have not yet married in Beijing, the one the emperor does not want to marry is Huang Qiong. That's why I have today's conversation with Yuan Baoer. It's just that after Yuan Bao'er left, the emperor found that he had thought about some things simply.
It's not that Yuan Bao'er is willing or not, the emperor believes that in this era of parents' orders and concubines, even if Lord Yuan is doting on this girl, he will not let her marriage be her own decision. As long as I do the work of Master Yuan, there is no big problem in this matter.
But the problem is that if the prince is really going to let himself down to the bone, forcing himself to really go only one step. If you are in the end, you really choose your ninth son to inherit your throne. Can this girl really take on the responsibility of motherhood in the world?
If you are in some way, the final choice is not your ninth son. Can this girl restrain her ninth son, who is too smart? At least for now, it's hard to believe. How can his ninth son be controlled by a woman?
Putting down the pen in his hand, the irritable emperor called Gao Wuyong over and said directly: "Do you know, where did the King of England go?" Also, Zhengzhou and Ruzhou, is there a secret fold? If there is, there will be no delay, and I will be sent to it immediately. Tell them to be careful about this time. If they make a mistake, I will skin them alive. ”
"Back to the emperor's words, the servant just saw the king of England and went to listen to Xue Xuan. But if this will not be there, the minions will not know. If you are King Xuanying, the minions will immediately send someone to find you. As for Ruzhou and Zhengzhou, there is no secret turn. Hearing the irritability in the emperor's tone, Gao Wuyong, as the personal chief eunuch, did not dare to have any concealment and replied immediately.
Hearing that Huang Qiong had gone to Tingxue Xuan, the emperor frowned. Standing up, he walked out of the Wende Hall and looked at the somewhat hazy sky outside for a long time, and sighed. If he wanted Gao Wuyong to send someone to find Huang Qiong back, although he hesitated several times, he finally swallowed it back. There are some things that are better to think about as well.
