Chapter 965: Sending Invitations
When it came to marriage, Shangshu of the Ministry of Works and Cheng Wangye were all happy.
They have long been looking forward to Qin Ming's marriage, after all, how can the king of a country not get married?
After getting married, you have to canonize the queen, and then you have to give birth to a child quickly, and make plans for the future prince.
The establishment of a prince in a country is a major event, and many officials often urge Qin Ming to marry the little princess as soon as possible, but a lot has happened in the past year, and Qin Ming has not thought too much about this issue.
And now, he finally took the initiative to bring it up, which naturally made the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and Cheng Wang Ye very happy.
The two immediately began to discuss, and even ignored Qin Ming directly.
The Ministry of Rites is responsible for some matters related to etiquette for the royal family and the people, including the wedding of the royal family, as well as various coming-of-age ceremonies and crown prince ceremonies.
As a yamen of the imperial family, the Zongren Mansion is specially responsible for some affairs of the imperial family, and it is also very responsible for managing matters related to the emperor's marriage and childbirth.
Therefore, the emperor's marriage is basically the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion.
Now that the Ministry of Rites is still the prince, it is reasonable to discuss so eagerly.
It's just that Qin Ming, the emperor, can't interject a little, and it always makes him very helpless.
So Qin Ming didn't talk much, and quietly listened to the two of them discussing here, and sometimes the two of them talked about one place, and they were very happy.
Sometimes there are different opinions on etiquette, and they are arguing here with a red face and a thick neck.
No matter how you look at it, it gives Qin Ming a feeling that the two in-laws are discussing the affairs of their children, and after listening to it for a while, Qin Ming was a little speechless, so he directly pulled the little princess out of here.
Leave the matter to the two of them, Qin Ming didn't bother to worry too much.
When it was almost dark, the two came to Qin Ming with a smile and reported the results of their discussion to Qin Ming.
The two were very happy, and asked Qin Ming if he wanted to invite some important figures from other countries to participate.
Qin Ming thought for a while and said: "Yan Guo must be invited, as well as Xia Guo, in addition, Qi State, Wei State, and Zhao State are relatively close, and they also belong to the cooperative countries on the snack road, please take a look."
There is also the Han Kingdom, as well as some countries in the 10-nation alliance, just send them an invitation, and there is no need to be too solemn. As for whether they will come or not, it is their problem. ”
In addition, Qin Ming also specifically asked to send some invitations to some small countries around him, after all, the rapid expansion of Chu State also made some small countries around him very worried.
For example, some countries around the south and some countries around the west.
They were also quite worried that the Chu State would annex them.
Inviting them to Qin Ming's wedding this time also proves that Qin Ming treats them as a country, or as friends.
If there is no problem, we are all neighbors and friends.
If there is a problem, it is a different matter.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu and Cheng Wang Ye both felt that it made sense, so the two went their separate ways.
Prince Cheng is responsible for the etiquette of the royal family, while the secretary of the Ministry of Rites is responsible for the preparation of inviting and receiving foreign guests.
The wedding of the two was tentatively discussed on the day of August 15 of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there was still one or two months to go, which was enough for the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion to prepare.
A few days later.
In the Yanguo Palace, Yan Lingfei received the invitation, looking at the content written on the gilded red wedding card, Yan Lingfei was happy and at the same time had a trace of envy and indescribable meaning in her heart.
She knew that she might not have much possibility with Qin Ming, but this did not prevent her from having a lot of fantasies.
Now that Qin Ming and the little princess are finally getting married, some of her fantasies have to be reined in.
After watching the wedding card for a long time, she finally made a decision and decided to send her blessings herself.
At the same time, in the palace of the Han State, the female emperor also received a wedding card from the Chu State.
Her expression was a little complicated, and she sighed and said:
"If you weren't the emperor of Chu, I really wanted to fight for it, although it seemed unlikely that you would be able to get into your eyes, but I still wanted to try."
Other countries also received invitations, and all replied that they would definitely send important people to attend, and some even replied that their own emperors would attend in person.
Especially some small countries, they didn't expect that the now powerful Chu State would actually send them invitations, which was obviously beyond their imagination.
Everyone in Chu has given face like this, how can they give face without shame.
The only thing that is not quite normal is Xia Guo.
For a long time, the relationship between the Xia and Chu states has been relatively delicate.
The former Xia State wanted to attack the Chu State, but was fooled by Qin Ming at that time with treacherous tricks.
Then let the Dexia State and the Chu State and the Yan State forcibly bind the peace agreement and became the so-called brother country.
Xia Guo, who realized it later, also reacted slowly, but it was useless to react at this time.
Because at this time, the Chu State has become more and more powerful, and gradually it is no longer the existence of the Xia State that has the courage to challenge.
Because of Qin Ming's flickering, they lost the opportunity to attack the Chu State at the beginning, and gradually the gap between them and the Chu State became bigger and bigger.
The emperor of the Xia State once analyzed with the crown prince that if they had fought against the Chu State at that time, they would have a great chance of winning.
Once he wins, maybe it will not be the Chu State that will dominate now, but the Xia State.
This analysis once made the Xia State invisibly open a relationship with the Chu State.
This led to the fact that these two so-called brother countries, when the Chu State was in danger several times, the Xia State did not help, but secretly made small moves.
It can be seen that the relationship between them is plastic love.
But as time passed, Xia Guo saw that the Chu State was getting stronger and stronger, and he also began to worry, after all, many surrounding countries had been swallowed by the Chu State.
Only the Yan Kingdom is still relatively stable, after all, the female emperor of the Yan Kingdom, Yan Lingfei, has a good relationship with Qin Ming.
And Yan Guo has always stood on the same front as Chu State.
Compared with Xia Guo, a brother who talks about his brother but has not done anything, there is no comparison at all.
Therefore, the stronger the Chu State, the more worried the Xia State became, and now that Qin Ming was going to get married, the emperor of the Xia State frowned after seeing it.
The prince of Xia expressed his opinion and said, "Why don't you go with me this time!" ”
They all understood that the current situation of the Xia State was too embarrassing, and it was not bad to say that the relationship with the Chu State was not good, but the relationship was definitely not much better.
If at Qin Ming's wedding this time, Xia Guo was asked by Qin Ming why he didn't help Chu State in the first place, how to explain it?
If it is not handled well, it may completely destroy this already fragile relationship.
It is also possible that Qin Ming knew that Xia Guo had also blackened Chu Guo several times, how could this be explained?
After the final discussion, it was decided that the prince of Xia Guo would personally bring a rich congratulatory gift, and the gift must be rich.
All countries are preparing to participate in Qin Ming's wedding, but as the protagonists of this incident, Qin Ming and the little princess obviously didn't think about it so much.
I just wanted to hold the wedding properly.
But the two of them didn't know that this time their wedding was hidden in countless dangers.
Because there are many people who are ready to take advantage of this wedding to ask for Qin Ming's life.
This is really normal, after all, Qin Ming has really offended too many people.
