This night, Qi Ning didn't know how to return to his house, and early the next morning, he was awakened by the shouts outside, but it was the palace that sent someone to summon him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Qi Ning had already expected that Longtai might summon him today, so he packed up and entered the palace to see him.

This time it was not seen in the imperial study, but in the first time I saw Longtai in the study, after the transmission, Longtai told Qi Ning to go in, and when he saw Longtai, Qi Ning's first feeling was that the little emperor seemed to be in a very bad mood, and only after meeting him did he ask: "Is the emperor unhappy?" ”

Long Tai didn't hide it, and said, "Before you came, the Queen Mother just left here. ”

"Oh?" When Qi Ning heard the Queen Mother, he guessed a few points and asked, "Your Majesty, is it a big wedding again?" ”

Long Tai's face was a little cold, and he sneered: "She has now forced me to make an order, let me send someone from the Ministry of Rites to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion to make an order, this is because I have to marry the daughter of the Sima family." ”

"Your Majesty, the common people marry each other, they are all the words of the matchmaker at the behest of their parents, you are the emperor, do you have to obey the queen mother's wishes?" Qi Ning frowned slightly: "Now all the affairs of the court and the central government, the main thing is that the Marquis of Zhongyi is taking care of, if the emperor does not obey the order of the queen mother, the Sima family is only afraid of dissatisfaction." ”

Long Tai said angrily: "I am the emperor, do I still have to look at the face of the Sima family?" ”

Qi Ning knew that this little emperor was actually a very rational person who could weigh the pros and cons, and saying this at this time was nothing more than the dissatisfaction that had accumulated in his heart and nowhere to vent, just vent two sentences in front of him.

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, since you have ascended the throne, it is actually a matter of time before you become a great treasure." Qi Ning said with a smile: "And in the harem, there is also a palace to control." ”

Long Tai frowned and said, "Do you also think that I should welcome the daughter of the Sima family into the palace?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction.

Qi Ning said: "The emperor misunderstood, after the establishment, it does not necessarily have to be the girl of the Sima family, there are many beauties in the world, who the emperor likes, who is the queen, it is not someone else's final say." ”

"It would be nice if you said so." In front of Qi Ning, Longtai no longer looked like a young man and an old man, and he looked much more relaxed, "It's not that you don't know, until now, Sima Lan has never asked me to convene a court meeting, saying that he would wait for the auspicious day to go to the court, and I know many things in the court and China later than him, in this situation, do you think I can still make my own decisions?" ”

"Your Majesty, you are still young, so you don't need to be anxious." Qi Ning said: "Look at the actions of these old ministers, you may not be able to learn anything. However, ......, it is not difficult for the emperor not to marry a girl from the Sima family. ”

"Oh?" Longtai's eyes lit up slightly: "Qi Ning, have you thought of any good ideas again?" ”

Qi Ning leaned closer and said softly: "Your Majesty, although the Marquis of Zhongyi is high and powerful, it can be said that there are also people who are hindered by the King of Huainan, so some things are not the words of the Marquis of Zhongyi. Just like this emperor's wedding, preparing to canonize the queen, it is not his Zhongyi Marquis who has the final say, as long as the emperor can find a more suitable girl, so that the queen mother and the loyal marquis can't find faults, the queen mother will not be able to force the emperor. ”

"The right girl?" Long Tai frowned: "What do you mean by this?" In addition to the royal family, my Da Chu is the most respected status of the four hereditary candidates, after I want to be established, in addition to choosing from these four families, can there be more suitable candidates than these four families? ”

Qi Ning said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jinyi Mansion is not worthy of the emperor's girl. ”

Long Tai scolded with a smile: "If you really have a sister, I will definitely summon her into the palace." Suddenly, it occurred to me that the Jinyi Marquis in front of him was just a fake, even if Qi Jing really had a daughter, it could not be regarded as the sister of the person in front of him.

He smiled, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a little, and Qi Ning said: "Your Majesty, in fact, I really thought about it, if there is a daughter in the Golden Daohou family, you can choose one from his mansion to enter the palace ......!" ”

"Hahaha.....!" Long Tai slapped his hand on the table and said, "You actually thought of it with me, I also thought about it before, but it really didn't work, so I chose someone from the Golden Dao Tantai family to enter the palace, and I have learned that there are several girls of the same age as me in the Tantai family." ”

Qi Ning was stunned, but Long Tai shook his head instantly: "But this can't be done." ”

"Why?"

"If I really choose the girl of the Tantai family, then the Tantai family will naturally do their best to assist me." Long Tai said slowly: "But in this case, I am only worried that the Marquis of Zhongyi and the King of Huainan will join forces to deal with the Tantai family. Sneered: "Both of them want to be in power, so how can they allow the Tantai family to come out and block their way." ”

Qi Ning smiled: "It turns out that the emperor has thought of this a long time ago. ”

Long Tai said: "The first emperor once said to me, the Golden Dao Marquis is a man, brave and fierce, slightly inferior in resourcefulness, and not good at playing with power, if the King of Huainan and the Marquis of Zhongyi really join forces to deal with him, I am only worried that the old Marquis will be angry for a while, and the soldiers will meet each other, and it will be very bad at that time." After many years of war, the army has just ceased with the Northern Han people, and the most important thing at this time is to repair the national strength, and the national body must not be damaged because of their struggle. ”

"The emperor is wise." Qi Ning nodded and said: "Actually, I'm also worried about this, it's easy to summon the girl from the Lantai family into the palace, but the things in the back will be very tricky." Now the King of Huainan and the Marquis of Zhongyi have their own forces, and they have roughly maintained a balance in the court, if there is no big change, there will not be much trouble, but once the Jindao Tantai family is involved, the situation is likely to change, and it will break the current stability of the court. ”

Longtai frowned and said, "So I'm just worried about this matter." ”

"Your Majesty, the girls of the Tantai family can't be summoned to the palace, but in addition, there are more suitable candidates." Qi Ning said in a low voice: "Has the emperor ever thought about Eastern Qi?" ”

"Dongqi?" Long Tai was stunned, and looked at Qi Ning in some astonishment.

Qi Ning chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, the Northern Han Dynasty and my Great Chu are facing off from the north and the south, and whoever can win over the relationship with the Eastern Qi people will be able to gain the upper hand." If the emperor marries the princess of the Eastern Qi Kingdom and establishes the princess of the Eastern Qi Kingdom as the queen of my Great Chu, what does the emperor think? ”

Long Tai was thoughtful, his clear eyes gradually glowed, and he suddenly stood up and stared at Qi Ning, his voice was a little excited: "Why didn't I think of this, Qi Ning, you ...... Do you mean to marry Princess Dongqi and become my queen? ”

"Your Majesty, if you marry the princess of Dongqi, it is for the sake of the diplomatic relations between Dachu and Dongqi, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, who doesn't know the importance of Dongqi to my Dachu." Qi Ning said with a smile: "If the emperor marries the princess of Eastern Qi for the benefit of my Great Chu, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not only not stop it, but will also admire the emperor." The people of the Eastern Qi Dynasty are struggling between the Northern Han Dynasty and my Great Chu, and if their princess can become the queen of my Great Chu, I think they will definitely not be able to ask for it. ”

Long Tai said excitedly: "Yes, marrying the lord of the Eastern Qi Kingdom is a major event for the benefit of the country, even if it is a loyal and righteous marquis, it is not easy to say anything." ”

"It's just..... This is to be wronged by the emperor. Qi Ning sighed: "What does the princess of Dongqi look like, the emperor has never seen it, if it is an extremely ugly ......!" ”

Before he finished speaking, Long Tai shook his head and smiled: "You are wrong, the princess of Dongqi is not only ugly, but also beautiful as a flower, a hundred times stronger than the one from the Sima family." Leaning forward slightly, he leaned closer to Qi Ning, and said in a low voice: "Don't forget, I went to Dongqi to participate in the ceremony of establishing the prince of Dongqi, and I saw the three princesses of Dongqi at that time. ”

"In this way, the emperor has long taken a fancy to the third princess of Dongqi?" Qi Ning said with a smile.

Long Tai immediately put away his smile, coughed twice, and said, "How can I be a person who is bewitched by beauty?" It's just your idea, it's good for me ......! After pondering for a long time, he bowed his head and said: "I have made up my mind, and I ask for marriage to Dongqi." He snorted coldly and said, "In this way, the Sima family will have nothing to say." ”

"Your Majesty, if you really want to ask the people of Dongqi for marriage, it is better to keep a low profile in this matter." Qi Ning said softly: "I'm only worried that if the Northern Han people hear about it, they will make a hindrance from it." ”

Long Tai nodded, "I know. After thinking about it, he asked, "Qi Ning, if I ask Dongqi for marriage, who do you think is the most appropriate person to send?" ”

"Naturally, Yuan Laoshangshu from the Ministry of Rites will go." Qi Ning immediately said: "Yuan Laoshangshu is familiar with the etiquette system, and he is the most suitable for this errand." ”

Long Tai frowned and said: "Yuan Xiuru is already in his sixties, I am only worried about going to Dongqi, the mountains are high and the road is far away, and the old man is afraid that he will not be able to hold on." And even if he really survives to Dongqi, when he is old, his brain is sometimes not bright, if something happens to Dongqi, this old man is afraid that he will not be able to deal with it. ”

Qi Ning said: "Apart from Yuan Laoshangshu, who else does the emperor think is more suitable?" He lowered his voice: "The envoy sent to ask for marriage must not have anything to do with the Marquis of Zhongyi, I am only worried that he will not dare to oppose on the surface, but secretly he will deliberately sabotage this proposal." ”

"I know that, too." Longtai bowed slightly: "But I have also thought about it, the girl of the Sima family cannot be summoned into the palace, but ..... In order to appease this man, I am ready to make him a duke. He smiled faintly and said, "As you said, let him sit higher and become the target of everyone." ”

Qi Ning smiled, and before he could speak, Long Tai suddenly said: "Qi Ning, if I send you to Eastern Qi, what do you think?" ”

Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have just become the commander, and I am also responsible for the preparation of the Black Scale Battalion, this is not a trivial matter, I am afraid that it will be difficult to free up, besides, I don't know anything about those red tapes, if I really want to go to Dongqi, if I am not careful, it will be a bad thing, and when the time comes, it will be very bad." ”

"Let me think about it again." Long Tai thought for a moment before asking, "Do you have a clue about the Black Scale Camp?" ”

"Preparations." Qi Ning said: "There are several guards in the Jinyi Hou Mansion who came out of the Black Scale Camp back then, and they were also the generals of the Black Scale Battalion, these people are very familiar with the Black Scale Camp, and with their help, they can get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Long Tai said: "That's good, Qi Ning, this is what I am most concerned about, you have to do your best, and you must not let me down." Suddenly, he thought of something, looked Qi Ning up and down, and then asked, "I ask you, where did your martial arts come from?" Tell me honestly, if you lie to me, it is the crime of deceiving the king, and I will let you be pulled out. ”
