Chapter 120: The Emperor Marries a Daughter

The news first reached Li Dingguo.

After Li Dingguo saw it, his heart was mixed, and it was not a taste for a while.

Li Dingguo has also served as a privy envoy for some years.

to the point where it cannot be said that there is no power.

Although the power of the world's soldiers and horses is still in Zhang Xuan's hands, it can be said that without Zhang Xuan's nod, no one should want to mobilize a battalion of soldiers and horses.

But Li Dingguo served as the privy envoy of Great Xia.

Although there were several privy envoys in Great Xia, Cao Zongyu, the king of Tang, Yuan Shizhong, the king of Wei, and Zheng Chenggong, the king of Liao, all hung the title of privy envoys. But that's just the plus.

Only he, Li Dingguo, controls the Privy Council, and in terms of power, he can compete with the cabinet.

However, if he doesn't envy Zheng Chenggong, he went overseas and led an army alone, but he is not.

He was also very conflicted in his heart.

One is that he is envious of Zheng Chenggong's behavior, and the other is that as a privy envoy of Great Xia, he has to worry about one thing.

That is, Zheng Chenggong is the head of the martial arts. There is no seal.

Now that he has made a great contribution, how should the court reward him?

There is another problem, that is, now inside and outside the court, all the armies are under the management of the Privy Council, even Yuan Shizhong and Cao Zongyu's personal soldiers are also sent by the Privy Council.

Only some of the troops around Zheng Chenggong have a very strong nature of private soldiers, such as Zhou Quanbin, Liu Guoxuan and other generals, no one knows how loyal they are to the imperial court.

Such an army, not thousands, but the least few thousands.

As a privy envoy, Li Dingguo felt a headache when he saw it. It's not just Li Dingguo who sees a headache, but the Privy Council doesn't have a good impression of the Zheng family.

After all, this greatly harms the departmental interests of the Privy Council.

Li Dingguo sat in the position of the Privy Council envoy for a long time, and this feeling almost became normal.

Therefore, his behavior of Zheng Chenggong's meritorious service is indescribable, and it is very complicated.

No matter what he thought, he would tell Zhang Xuan about this matter.

When he came to the Qianqing Palace, while saluting Zhang Xuan, he also saluted Zhang An, who was sitting on one side, and said, "Meet Your Majesty, meet the prince." ”

During this period of time, Zhang Xuan also gave birth to several sons, Luo Yujiao gave birth to one, and Yaya gave birth to two. But Zhang An and his younger siblings are separated by several years.

Zhang Xuan also had no intention of causing a storm on the succession to the throne.

Therefore, after Zhang An was educated in the martial arts juvenile class, he arranged a seat next to him. For all court affairs, a copy was given to the crown prince.

Let Zhang An see. If you have any questions, ask Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan sometimes picks some things and asks Zhang An to handle them as a messenger. However, most of them are in some affairs in the capital, but it seems that Zhang Xuanjiang will

Come and let Zhang Antian run south and north.

After all, Zhang Xuan is not only cultivating a son, but also a future son of heaven.

The officials are also used to this.

Zhang Xuan said: "Sit, I see you are in a hurry, but there is news in Nanyang?" ”

Li Dingguo said: "Shengming has no past Your Majesty, and the King of Liao broke the Dutch and occupied Batavia. and set up the Nanyang Governor's Palace in Batavia. ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Batavia? I thought it would be in Malacca. However, since he has already decided, I naturally have nothing to implement. It's just that Batavia's name is not good, let him change his name and play again. ”

"Yes." Li Dingguo said, he paused slightly and said: "Your Majesty, should the King of Liao be rewarded like this?" ”

Zhang Xuan looked at the military newspaper carefully and said: "Zhou Fuchen, Zhou Quanbin, and Liu Guoxuan have made meritorious contributions in the war. As for the Liao King? ”

Zhang Xuan was thinking about it, and suddenly saw Li Dingguo's expression a little serious, and suddenly understood, and said: "King Jin, do you think that the King of Liao is not rewarded?" ”

Li Dingguo bowed his head and said, "Your -----"

Zhang Xuan said with a smile: "No matter what happened in the previous dynasty, this dynasty will never be like this." Do you know why I gave you kings a real land? ”

Li Dingguo said: "Your Majesty wants to tear the soil and seal it? Is this a must-have? ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Why not? The world is so big that there is not only Kyushu, but beyond Kyushu, there are Kyushu. It is absolutely impossible to rule by county, and the king of Jin also knows that what I am most worried about in the war with the Dutch? ”

Li Dingguo said: "Reinforcements from the Netherlands. ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Exactly, such as the place in the Netherlands itself, how can this dynasty govern it, and if it is not governed, it will forever disturb the Celestial Empire?" Naturally, it is a famous general. ”

"Naturally, the provinces of Guannai will not be sealed to the princes, and as for overseas lands, this will not be the case."

"King Jin is ready, when Nanyang is settled, your fiefdom in Yunnan is estimated to be transferred to Nanyang. Although it is remote, Nanyang has three crops a year, which can be regarded as the foundation of generations of descendants. ”

Li Dingguo said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Zhang Xuan said to Zhang An: "Prince, this matter, you remember that this dynasty has never been suspicious of heroes, and after being crowned king, you can seal the open sea land." As the Son of Heaven, when you have a big mind, as long as you have merit to the world, what about sharing the world with meritorious heroes? ”

Zhang An said: "Erchen understands. ”

Although Zhang An said this, he was not as bold as Zhang Xuan, Zhang An did not dare to change the policy left by Zhang Xuan, but he strictly controlled the knighthood.

It can be said that Zhang Xuan's generation of large-scale knighthoods, even the kings with fiefs, had six cases, which did not happen at all later. At most, there are a few princes who are just hereditary and disregardful, and as for the fiefdom, don't even think about it, unless there is a merit in expanding the land, it cannot be sealed. It must also be when there is no seal.

Li Dingguo said: "Your Majesty means to gain land for the King of Liao? ”

Zhang Xuan pondered for a while and said: "The credit of the King of Liao is still a little less, and after he stabilizes Nanyang, he will reward it together, after all, the Westerners will not retreat so easily." ”

"Calculate the time, Ping'er has also grown up."

Li Dingguo understood as soon as he heard it, and said, "Yes, it's time to prepare for the marriage between the princess and the prince of Liao." ”

Li Dingguo's way of thinking about Zhang Xuan is indeed good.

Marrying the princess Yu Liao Wang can be regarded as a reward, and it is also a means to reassure each other, after all, Zheng Chenggong is the only prince in the country who has a private soldier.

Zhang Xuan said: "The princess's marriage is naturally handled by the Ministry of Etiquette, and as for the reward for this battle, it will trouble King Jin." ”

Li Dingguo said: "To do things for Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to say bitterness. ”

Li Dingguo came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

After Li Dingguo left, Zhang An looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Zhang Xuan didn't raise his head and said, "If you have something, say it." ”

Zhang An said: "I'm afraid my sister doesn't want to marry the prince of Liao? ”

Zhang Xuan frowned and said, "You know? ”

Zhang An said: "I know, I secretly investigated the prince of Liao for my sister, who is stupid, fat, and greedy for flowers. There is no heroic spirit of King Liao at all. ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Zheng Jing is so unbearable? ”

Zhang An said: "The main thing is that Mrs. Liao Wang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she is very spoiled by Zheng Jing. Such a character, if he didn't have a good father, wouldn't be in the eyes of his sons at all. ”

Zhang Xuan raised his head and said, "So, are you very powerful?" ”

Zhang An said: "I don't dare to be it, but my father is a big hero, and my son is also a little hero." He immediately said: "Dad, there are many ways to reward the Zheng family, you don't have to marry your sister." Dad, you don't interfere much in my marriage, why do you have to do this to my sister? ”

Zhang Xuan did not interfere much in Zhang An's marriage, but Zhang An didn't know how his mother interfered, and all the women who could appear in front of Zhang An were selected by Luo Yujiao.

In other words, Luo Yujiao does not interfere with who Zhang An chooses, but no matter who he chooses, it is within the scope of Luo Yujiao's demarcation. It's just that this stupid son doesn't know.

Zhang Xuan shook his head slightly, and said: "It's late, this marriage was decided a long time ago, and it can't be changed at all, and it is impossible for my royal family to go back on its word." ”

"There's nothing I can do about your father? If your sister wants to marry, she must marry, and if she doesn't want to, she must marry. ”

"Daddy." A young girl jumped out, holding tea in her hand, slammed it on the table, and said, "Are you forcing your daughter like this?" ”

It was Zhang Ping who came, Zhang Ping was completely grown, and even looked much better than Dong Xiaowan back then. The temperament is more outstanding, and she is a first-class beauty.
