Chapter 364: Marrying a Wife Is Better Than Marrying a Daughter
The most important thing is that Huang Qiong, who has always kept a cool head on this matter, is very clear. When it is really needed, the Guilin County Mansion will not openly confront the imperial court because he is their son-in-law. In this trade-off, they will always be very clear. They have sons, and not a son. I won't risk the extinction of the clan for the sake of an outsider.
A family that has been thriving for hundreds of years and is now thriving will not ignore the fate of the entire family. Because of a son-in-law, he went to confront the emperor who ruled the world. Unless, this family has long had the intention of rebelling. It's just that Huang Qiong doesn't understand, why does the emperor still give him a marriage under the premise that he has already revealed to himself that he wants to deal with the Guilin County Palace?
However, after explicitly refusing, Huang Qiong thought of his emperor Lao Tzu, once he decided on something, if he didn't make a surprise move, I am afraid it would be difficult to recover. If he really identified himself, it would be difficult to dispel his thoughts just by his own words. No, you'll have to figure out an ally for yourself.
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong pondered for a moment and then said: "If the father insists, then the father will show the emperor." As a son of man, it is right for parents to be in charge of marriage. If the mother agrees to this family business, the king naturally has no opinion. If the mother does not agree, then the father can only ask the emperor to choose another sage. β
Hearing Huang Qiong's answer, Rao is self-cultivation is good, even if he can pretend again, Gao Wuyong's face can't help but fall. If Concubine Jing really agreed to this family business, why did the emperor send him to Zhengzhou. When he came, the emperor repeatedly explained that he must be very good, saying that King Tongying accepted this family business.
Thinking of this, Gao Wuyong couldn't help but shake his head: "The marriage of the princes, all of them were personally instructed by the emperor, and the one who discussed it with the prince's biological mother?" There was only the marriage of this British king, and the emperor rushed to discuss with Concubine Jing. But I don't want Concubine Jing to say that the child's marriage can be decided by herself. Since parents haven't started this well, don't interfere anymore and get it back. β
Although Gao Wuyong has not been in the palace for a long time, he has not experienced the turmoil of that year. I don't know much about the things between the emperor and Concubine Jing. can be said from Concubine Jing's words that made the emperor very unable to get off the stage, but the emperor stubbornly endured it and didn't say anything, and came up with the idea of starting from his son without getting his wife.
And since Empress Bintian, the emperor stayed in Concubine Jing's dormitory almost every night, and did not go to any other concubine's dormitory. Gao Wuyong was keenly aware of the relationship between the emperor and Concubine Jing, which was far from what was rumored. Coupled with the emperor's importance to this British king now, Gao Wuyong's face immediately returned to normal, and even the smile on his face did not decrease by half a point.
Seeing the change in Gao Wuyong's face, Huang Qiong guessed that his emperor Laozi was afraid that he would touch his mother's nose, so he sent someone to persuade him. I know my mother's character, and since my mother said that she wanted to ask for her opinion, it means that my mother will never interfere in this matter, let alone interfere in her own decisions.
Even the mother may not agree to this family matter, but she didn't say it directly because of the emperor's face. Because my mother has taught me since I was a child, I must be more attentive to everything and never just look at the surface. Mother never made any decisions for herself other than what she learned. Even if she explicitly opposes it, she will not interfere with it without hesitation.
I was brought up by my mother since I was a child, and as the saying goes, I know my son Mo Ruo's mother. My own character, my mother is not generally understood. Mother must know that with her own character, she will not agree to this family affair at all, let alone bow her head to the emperor easily. Ask yourself, isn't it equivalent to refusing in disguise? What's more, from a mother's point of view, it is impossible not to see the pros and cons of this family business.
In fact, Huang Qiong did not agree to this family affair, not only because she was casually assigned to the emperor to marry, but also dissatisfied with someone she had never met. In my heart, I still have myself now, although I am only eighteen years old. can add up the two lives, at least in terms of mentality, they are already forty people. Find an eighteen-year-old wife, and just think about it makes him feel cold. He doesn't have the old cow's penchant for eating young grass.
Huang Qiong has always preferred to find a woman who is older, plump and more mature than her current age. Except for Situ Zhaoshuang, who is still missing, whether it is Chen Yao before, or the current four daughters of He Yao, Duan Jin, Lin Wanqing, and even Yi Ying, almost all of them are in this situation.
In Huang Qiong's subconscious, she still thinks that older women will hurt people. The county lord of Guilin County Palace, who has lived in the Zhongming Ding Food House in the rich Jiahai since he was a child. If it is really the Guilin County Palace, the most favored county lord, I am afraid that this temperament will not be any better, it is possible to be arrogant and domineering, Huang Qiong does not want to find an ancestor for himself.
But there is another very important reason why Huang Qiong refused so thoroughly. That is, Huang Qiong believes that the current situation is very different from the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China. After years of painstaking management, it is not clear how much power the Guilin County Mansion has in private. The forces on the surface alone are already huge and terrifying.
Judging from Jian Yong's analysis and his own analysis, the power of today's Guilin County Wangfu is no longer limited to Guangnan West Road. Not only Guangnan East Road, but also the Guilin County Palace's sphere of influence, and even Fujian Road, Liangzhejiang, and Jiangnan East and West Roads have all been involved. As for Qianzhong Road and Huguang South Road, how much power there is in the Guilin County Palace, I'm afraid no one can say clearly.
With such a huge force, it can almost be said that it occupies half of the south of the Yangtze River in the Great Qi Dynasty. The two rivers, Huguang and Liangzhejiang are not only the important places of the imperial court's wealth, but also the most important grain producing areas. "The lake is wide and ripe, and the world is full," is a famous saying of the Great Qi Dynasty. Judging from this evaluation, the importance of Jiangnan can be imagined. At present, the imperial court is endowed with wealth from the southeast, and it is actually used in the north.
Although on the surface, the intervention of the Guilin County Royal Mansion is a commercial behavior. But to be honest, in all dynasties, there has always been no separation between officials and businessmen. One seeks power, the other seeks wealth, with wealth can buy power, with power can make money. This status quo can be said to run through the history of China for thousands of years, and even the history of the world for thousands of years.
With money, you can change your allegiance at any time. With money, you can also pull up an army at any time. Money can make ghosts grind, and in the current situation where luxury has become the norm in the world, having money can almost be said to do whatever you want. Money can feed soldiers, and soldiers can nourish ambition.
At present, the power of the royal palace of Guilin County has spread over half of the south of the Yangtze River. Once there is a change in the palace of Guilin County, I am afraid that the entire Jiangnan will be eroded. The strength of the Guilin County Palace's palace has reached a time when it can only slowly withdraw the fire and suppress it, and it must not give it any chance to increase its influence.
At this time, he married the prince of Guilin County, especially the prince. Whether it is the prince, for the power of the Guilin County Palace, it is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. At present, the sons are far from over. Once that prince becomes the son-in-law of the Guilin County Palace, I am afraid that the successor will not be able to sit on the throne.
For a businessman, there is nothing more profitable than supporting an emperor. At that time, LΓΌ Buwei created a good model for later generations of businessmen. At present, although there is no King Xiang of Qinzhuang among the princes, there are not a few people who want to be King Xiang of Qinzhuang. And now the Guilin County Mansion is much richer than the Prime Minister Lu Cheng back then.
And this money can buy important ministers in the DPRK, and this money can buy generals in the army. A Henan Road is the second grade of the festival envoy, 300,000 yuan can buy ten days late troops, so how much does it cost to buy a commander of the four major battalions? How much does it cost to buy the privy envoy and the secretary of the military department? How much do those commanders of the Eighth Army of the Royal Forest need to buy loyalty?
With the support of the Guilin County Palace, money is not a problem. Since money is not a problem, no one can say how much money can be used for. What I didn't dare to do before, I may not dare to do it after I have money. And if she is in the position of queen, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult for someone to restrain this Guilin County Palace.
As the son-in-law of the royal palace of Guilin County, it is beneficial to compete for the throne. But for the world of this Great Qi Dynasty, it is harmful and not beneficial. It's just that Huang Qiong can't figure it out, she has been a gentleman for more than 20 years. What he can see by himself, his own emperor Lao Tzu, who is also very shrewd, will definitely not fail to understand. How could you agree to marry the prince to the county lord?
You must know that the county lord dared to publicly humiliate the two princes in the palace hall, and it was definitely not a good match. Neither as a princess nor as a queen, it is impossible to treat it as a tablet and ornament. And with the backing of the Guilin County Palace, and the emperor or prince, dare to depose it? With such a queen here, it's hard to be bloody in this world.
Even if the emperor wants to praise the Guilin County Palace, there is no need to take such a big risk, right? In fact, doesn't he know that it is more calculated to marry the princess to the prince than to marry the county lord to himself? Is it more beneficial to the court and the world? Because in the Great Qi Dynasty, there was only one empty title for the horse.
According to the custom, the horse shall not lead the troops, shall not serve as an official above the six departments, and shall not be released as a real shortage. They must not make friends with foreign officials, and they must not interfere with local authorities. To put it bluntly, the concubine of the Great Qi Dynasty is just a rich man with an empty title. As for real power, it will never be obtained.
Captain Horse, let's just say it's good, it's really not affordable at all. To give a colt, to put it bluntly, that's really giving a name. This is also the main reason why the officials of the dynasty do not want their sons, especially the talented sons, to be the son-in-law of the Heavenly Family. Who's a good son, willing to throw it into this pit.
The prince gave him the title of a colt. Being the emperor's son-in-law not only gave the Guilin County Palace enough face, but also avoided any potential threat to the imperial court. This is the real thing that kills two birds with one stone, but it is much better than giving it to a princess or even a queen. Anyway, among the current royal family, there are several princesses who are the same age as the prince and have not yet been married.
The most important thing is that the princess can't go back to Quang Nam West Road with her. You can leave that prince in the capital and take him as a hostage in disguise. Even if there are a lot of sons of the king of Guilin, this is his eldest son. With such a hostage in the hands of the emperor, no matter what the emperor's idea is in the next step, it will be much more convenient, at least there will be a lot less worries.
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong pondered for a while, then looked at Gao Wuyong with a helpless face and said, "Master Gao, please go back and play your father." In fact, for the imperial court, it is more secure to marry a wife than to marry a daughter. It's just that what the reason is, it's inconvenient to say for a while. When your father asks, you just tell the truth. The meaning of this, the father will still figure it out. β
