info He took two steps forward and picked up Queen Zhou and Zhu Yujiao.

"Sister, you should step back first. The father wants to talk to the queen well. ”

Hearing her father's low words, Zhu Yujiao frowned slightly, she seemed to have a premonition of something, but it was inconvenient to ask directly, so she had to bow her head and answer yes, and blessed Chongzhen and Queen Zhou respectively, and then retreated.

Chongzhen and Queen Zhou entered the Kunning Palace and sat down, Chongzhen retired the eunuchs and palace maids, and in the huge Kunning Palace, only the two husbands and wives of the Heavenly Family sat opposite each other.

There was an oppressive silence in the room.

Finally, Chongzhen opened his mouth and told Queen Zhou Yanru's strategy to entrap Li Xiao.

"Yu Rope said that only by marrying Li Xiao, the Duke of Tang Guo, can he win his heart. Make it connected with the blood of my heavenly family, since then the monarch and the minister should be negotiated, and there will be no suspicion, and then I can do everything in the Ming Kingdom. I thought about it, and I felt that his words were not unreasonable......" Chongzhen hung his head, his voice was very low, and the expression on his face was like that of a schoolboy who had made a mistake. In Queen Zhou's eyes, two crystal tears slipped down in an instant. She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, she sobbed softly again. "Queen......" Chongzhen's eyes were also flashing with tears. The emperor, forgive the concubine bluntly, Jiao'er has just turned thirteen years old, and if she wants to marry, she is too young. You must know that even ordinary folk girls in the Ming Dynasty can only get married when they are fifteen or sixteen years old. It's a pity that this child was born without a mother, and he has been lonely since he was a child. Now that she is still so young, the emperor is going to marry her to Li Xiao, who is nearly thirty years old and has a group of wives and concubines, and the concubines are really sad in their hearts......" Speaking of this, Queen Zhou's tears rolled down, and she was already so choked that she couldn't speak. Chongzhen's brows furrowed, and finally he let out a long sigh. "Queen, do you think that if I marry my concubine to Li Xiao, I won't feel sad and heartbroken? Don't I know that she is still a minor, and she is still one year away from the minimum age of marriage in the "Daming Etiquette Law"? Do you think that by doing so, I don't know that by doing so, I am making an unpredictable bet on her future and her happiness? It's just that there is a way to hear the drum and think about the good general, and the country's major events have been eroded to this point, and I have no choice but to win over Li Xiao like this! Chongzhen's face was as heavy as iron, and he said in a low voice: "That Li Xiao, in my opinion, this person is a genius Wei Yan, extremely wise and brave, and he is a good general of the country!" Even compared with Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and other good generals at the beginning of the country, I am afraid that it is not too much. Yu Rope believes that only by letting Li Xiao urgently send troops can he contain and defeat the Liukou and save the Ming Dynasty. can only be stationed, this person has such a talent, but I have a lot of festivals with him, so that between the monarch and the minister, can only maintain a superficial harmony, how painful! "So, in order to win over Li Xiao, the emperor is determined to marry Jiao'er to this Li Xiao?" There is no other way, can you improve the relationship with Li Xiao? Queen Zhou's teary eyes rippled, like two strings of crystal pearls, hanging on her white face. Chongzhen looked pained and shook his head slowly: "Alas, it's really gone!" From my point of view, it has to be like this, and it can't envelop Li Xiao's heart. Only by marrying the princess and showing her the sincerity of my royal family and the immensity of the emperor's grace, then Li Xiao can change his mind and finally be used by my Ming Dynasty. Empress Zhou covered her face with her sleeves and whimpered: "Now that the emperor has made a decision, what can the concubine say." It's just that I pity my child, at such a young age, but such a lonely and miserable encounter, I originally hoped to find a good family for her, so that she can live this life in peace and happiness. But I didn't expect that in the end, Jiao'er had to become a thing of coercion and exchange, and the concubine felt so heartbroken. Emperor Chongzhen let out another long sigh, he stood up, paced back and forth in the room, and then said with determination: "Empress, wait a minute, you will give your concubine a good idea." Tell her that even if she marries Li Xiao, I will never wronged her, and I will try my best to make her rich and rich with all kinds of dowry gifts, so that she can marry in style, and she will never lose the face of my princess. Queen Zhou hid her face and cried for a while, before she finally wiped away her tears and said, "Okay, since the emperor has made up his mind, the concubine will talk to Jiao'er first and comfort her first." Chongzhen nodded, and was about to talk to Queen Zhou again, but suddenly found that Zhu Yujiao had stood at the entrance of the palace gate of Kunning Palace without knowing when. Jiao'er ...... "Seeing Zhu Yujiao suddenly appear at the gate of the palace, Chongzhen and Queen Zhou were taken aback. However, when they saw Zhu Yujiao's tear-stained face, the two of them seemed to understand instantly. It turned out that Zhu Yujiao had heard their conversation just now. Zhu Yujiao, who had tears on her face, walked slowly towards the palace, and Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly coughed lightly and turned his face away. And Queen Zhou covered her face and cried again. "Father, mother, your words, the children have heard them." Zhu Yujiao blessed the two of them separately, and smiled with difficulty on her face: "Father, mother, don't be sad, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, the child is willing to marry Li Xiao." As the princess of the Ming Dynasty, the child should share the worries of the country and the monarch. Although she said this with a smile, tears rolled down her face. My wretched child. Queen Zhou couldn't hold back any longer, and after a cry, she stepped forward and hugged Zhu Yu tightly in her arms, and the mother and daughter hugged and cried. Chongzhen was in tears, the muscles on his face were shaking and jumping, and he gritted his teeth tightly, trying not to let the tears fall. In his heart, there was a sharp pain like a pinprick in his heart. Finally, Chongzhen stabilized his mood, smiled again, and said softly to Zhu Yujiao: "Jiao'er, you don't have to worry, your father won't let you be wronged." After you married Li Xiao, you were summoned by me to marry her as a wife, and your status was above that of his wife and concubine. In addition, the dowry and other things, the father will definitely buy it very richly, and he will never let you suffer the slightest grievance. Yu Jiao smiled sadly: "Father, the country is so poor and embarrassed, father, you don't have to buy too much dowry for the child, and the child's wedding can be thrifty if you can save it." Listening to Yu Jiao's words, Chongzhen was unconsciously moved: "My son is so virtuous and considerate, my father is really ashamed!" Yu Jiao shook her head, and squeezed out a smile on her face and said: "Father doesn't have to be like this, Yu Jiao can worry about his father, he can contribute to the Ming Dynasty, it's too late to be happy, why should my father be so sad." Chongzhen looked at this well-behaved, kind, and very considerate daughter, tears flashed in his eyes, but his heart was mixed. He hummed softly, and then said softly: "Since you have agreed, then I will send an edict to Li Xiao, officially marry you to him, and let him get ready to marry you in style." After Chongzhen finished speaking, he didn't stay any longer, he lowered his head and left Kunning Palace in a hurry. It was only at the moment of leaving the palace gate that the tears in his eyes flowed wantonly like a flood that opened the floodgates. Unexpectedly, when the emperor was about to write an edict and let Li Xiao enter Beijing to marry Zhu Yujiao, he was opposed by the first assistant Zhou Yanru. "Your Majesty, no, if you want to summon Li Xiao to Beijing to marry the princess, then the minister dares to expect that Li Xiao would rather cut off relations with the imperial court than come to the capital!" Zhou Yanru, who was kneeling on the ground, said to Emperor Chongzhen urgently. "Oh, why is that?" Chongzhen frowned. "Your Majesty, the festival between you and Li Xiao is already three feet frozen, not a day's cold. How can the grievances between kings and ministers be resolved suddenly? If you summon Li Xiao to Beijing like this, Li Xiao will inevitably be frightened, and he will use all kinds of excuses and reasons to shirk it. And the reason why he is like this is that he must be deeply afraid that as soon as he enters the capital, he will become Yuan Chonghuan's second! "This ......" Chongzhen clenched his teeth, and his face was very ugly. If so, what should I do? "Your Majesty, the so-called good people will do it to the end and send the Buddha to the west. Weichen implored the emperor that he didn't have to let Li Xiao come to the capital, but he could directly marry Princess Kunxing to Shandong and let Li Xiao marry. In this way, the emperor's sincerity can be shown, so that Li Xiao will no longer have doubts, so that the monarch and the ministers can communicate with each other, and they can be harmonious. Zhou Yanru paused, and said hurriedly: "If Li Xiao officially marries Princess Kunxing, then, after their husband and wife are reconciled, wouldn't it be more appropriate for the emperor to find an opportunity to summon Li Xiao to Beijing?" And Li Xiao, who married the princess, must have no suspicion of the emperor, and will happily come to Beijing. After listening to Zhou Yanru's words, Chongzhen was speechless for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, then do it according to the opinion of the jade rope." "My Emperor Shengming." Next, Zhou Yanru drafted the decree on his behalf, and Chongzhen gave a holy decree to Li Xiao in Shandong, and then ordered Wang Chengen, a personal eunuch, to rush to Shandong to announce the summoning with a group of brocade guards. When Wang Chengen and others went to Shandong, Li Xiao was at home in Dengzhou, enjoying the joy of family. On this day, in his garden, he held his concubine, Princess Ingmar of Tumut, and teased his daughter Li Jian together. Now, Li Xiao has a son and three daughters, namely Li Cheng, the son born to his wife Zhu Yujiao, the eldest daughter Li Jing born to his wife Zu Wan'er, the second daughter Li Wan born to the concubine Zhuo Naxi, and the third daughter Li Jian born to Ingmar now. Of course, strictly speaking, Li Xiao actually has a son. That is, the North Korean princess Zhao, the illegitimate child of the crystallization of love with Li Xiao for several days, is now nearly five years old. According to the report of the security department personnel installed in North Korea, this son looks very much like him and is very healthy, which makes the princess Zhao love him very much. After Ingmar became pregnant, she wanted to give birth to a son to Li Xiao, but in the end she couldn't do it, but gave birth to a very strong fat daughter, which made her feel deeply sad that she couldn't give birth to a son after tasting the joy of being a first-time mother. Fortunately, Li Xiao has always treated his children equally, and after returning from Nanyang, he loved this baby daughter very much, and personally named Li Huan, which means the nobleman among women. And Ingmar herself, a simple-hearted Mongolian girl, quickly devoted all her maternal love to this precious daughter, and gave her a Mongolian name, Uzhna. Because Li Xiao was busy with all things and rarely came back, since he returned to Dengzhou, he tried his best to accompany his wives and concubines at home, and with infinite tenderness and love, he compensated for the wives and concubines who were waiting for him to come back at home. Including the second daughter of Huang Taiji who was secretly included in the room by him as a companion girl, Princess Makata of Wenzhuang Gulun of the Qing Dynasty, during this time, she was also full of rain and dew, and her appearance became more and more obvious. When Li Xiao heard that there was a decree in the court, he was quite surprised. He originally thought that after such a stiff holiday with the imperial court, the imperial court would maintain a nominal subordinate relationship with himself like river water and well water, and there would be no substantive contact. But I didn't expect that the imperial court would send a grace to me today. However, Li Xiao didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly swept the courtyard, prepared an incense case, and greeted Wang Chengen and others who came to announce the decree. When Wang Chengen took a group of guards to slowly walk into the wide courtyard of the Tang Guogong Mansion, he saw that the entire courtyard had been cleaned up very neatly, a brand-new red carpet was placed on the ground, and incense and fruit offerings were placed on a long table of pineapple flowers and trees, and Li Xiao, the Duke of Tang Guo, was wearing a python robe and jade belt, and kneeling behind the incense case with a group of courtiers, Wang Chengen's face suddenly showed a satisfied expression. It seems that although this Tang Guogong has had a festival with the emperor, he can meet the emperor's will so solemnly, but he also gives the court enough face and shows the etiquette that a courtier should have. Wang Chengen then thought that when he went to Huguang last year to announce the decree to Na Zuo Liangyu and officially appoint him as the commander-in-chief of Huguang, that guy was rampant and rude, arrogant, and completely rude, as if the emperor's reward was completely deserved by him, which was really depressing. Wang Chengen slowly unfolded the holy decree made of lake silk, coughed lightly, and began to read aloud. "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: I only have a difficult time, Bandang knows loyalty, is to know the Tang Dynasty Duke Li Xiao, for several years, loyal and righteous, for the king pioneer, vigorously open up overseas land, seize the South Seas, set the foreign Manchurian, raise the country's prestige in foreign lands, and reinvigorate the country's voice in the barbarian state, which is also immortal. Li Xiao is a person, and he is the pillar of the imperial court and the dry city of the country. The important ministers of such countries can be praised for their achievements and do not praise them for their favor? I am now married, with my eldest daughter, Princess Kunxing married Li Xiao as his wife, and got married on a certain day, forever as an in-law, showing his honor, and since then the monarch and the minister have always been in harmony and become a family. In addition, I gave Shandong a province of land, thinking that the princess's dowry was also handed over to Li Xiao for full governance, and Li Xiao was specially appointed as the commander of the Shandong army. I hope that Li Xiao will be arrogant and unreserved, and he will make achievements, fulfill his duties, and work hard to prosper. Chin Jai。。。。。 Hearing Wang Chengen's reading, Li Xiao only felt that his mind seemed to be buzzing, and he was confused for a while. What's going on? How could the emperor, who was originally very cold to himself, suddenly marry his daughter who was still an adult to himself, and return it to this Shandong province with full power to govern himself. It's, it's a bit like the sun is coming out of the west. When Li Xiao was confused, the courtiers behind him also made a slight commotion. Just when Li Xiao was secretly thinking about the reason in his heart, Wang Chengen had finished reading this long holy decree, swallowed his saliva dryly, and then said to Li Xiao with a smile: "Tang Guogong, why don't you quickly accept the decree and thank you?" "Minister, Li Xiao received the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Li Xiao came back to his senses from his thoughts, took a few steps forward, and loudly thanked him.
