Chapter 732: Shangluo Marriage
(Big Chapter!!) )
On August 23, the eighteenth year of the Marquis of Wei, after more than 20 days of trekking, the Wei delegation finally arrived in Shangluo.
This scene couldn't help but make the people in Shangluo City look sideways, when the Son of Heaven had not passed on the edict, why did the Wei people come?
As a result, some people with a little insight began to speculate that there might be another great chaos, and the Wei people were a symbol of the great disaster.
But what they didn't expect was that when the Wei envoy made it clear that he had come, the so-called disaster turned out to be a happy event.
Even Ji Xiao, who is the Son of Heaven, was shocked by the request made by the Wei people, because this is really not true!
"You mean, Marquis Wei wants to marry Bang Yue?" Ji Xiao asked carefully.
Under His Majesty Dan, Sun Ju, the great Honglu of the Wei Kingdom, said calmly: "Back to Your Majesty, my monarch is asking to marry the third princess of the previous king!" ”
For her third sister, Ji Xiao was of course impressed, and this was the one Qin Guo wanted to marry last year!
However, the Qin envoy was exterminated, and it was the current monarch of Wei who did it, which everyone secretly knew.
And now that the monarch of Wei has asked to marry Ji Bangyue, the intention in this is worth playing...... Will this involve the struggle between the Qin and Wei countries?
For a while, Ji Xiao didn't know how to reply to the envoy of Wei in front of him!
In my heart, Ji Xiao was unwilling to marry her sister to Wei Wuji...... Wei was a recognized enemy of all nations, and Zhou naturally had to make decisions from this standpoint.
However, even if she wants to refuse, Ji Xiao must give the Wei people a little face, otherwise she will annoy the Wei people, and the life of the Zhou family will be equally sad.
So, after thinking about it, Ji Xiao said to Sun Ju: "This matter is important, I need to be cautious, wait for me to consider a few people, and reply to the messenger!" ”
Sun Ju has been a great Honglu for so many years, and naturally he can also detect a trace of the Son of Heaven's intentions, and he can feel that the other party is not concerned about this matter.
But the monarch also gave a death order, and if this matter cannot be negotiated, he can also be replaced.
Sun Ju himself knows that no matter which one is not a yamen, the monarch wants to replace his own people, and the Dahonglu Yamen is naturally no exception.
In order to ensure his status, Sun Ju knew that he couldn't just leave!
He planned to increase the weight for his side, so he said: "Your Majesty is ......."
Seeing that this Wei envoy was so uninteresting, Ji Xiao couldn't help but feel angry in her heart, and at the same time, she was more sure of her plan.
But Ji Xiao still asked, "Is the messenger still in trouble?" ”
After Sun Ju briefly recalled the situation when he was summoned by the monarch before leaving Wu'an, he said: "Before the foreign minister set off, the monarch summoned him...... Before leaving, the king had said to his ministers that he was willing to end the hundred-year policy of going south, and to be good neighbors with other countries, and specially asked the princess to marry...... By the grace of God! ”
Speaking of this, Sun Ju bowed down to the earth and said: "I also hope that Your Majesty will observe my king's burning loyalty and marry the princess...... Then the Son of Heaven and His Majesty will benefit! ”
The people of Wei actually had such a plan? This news is even more unbelievable than asking to marry a princess!
Of course, Ji Xiao didn't believe it, but whether he believed it or not, after hearing these words, he had to think carefully about the marriage, whether to accept Wei's overtures?
Wei Wuji's difficult Ji Xiao has been taught, this is definitely a madman who will do anything to achieve his goals, do you want to offend him because of a woman?
Ji Xiao thought a lot for a while, but his face still didn't change, but said, "I know, you go down first!" ”
Now, all the efforts that can be done have been done, and Sun Ju doesn't know what else he can do, so he can only retire honestly.
After Sun Ju left, Ji Xiao immediately ordered the chamberlain on the side to invite several of his important ministers over to discuss the matter.
The stakes are high, Ji Xiao feels that she still needs to listen to other people's opinions, and the mistakes of the authorities can't be made!
At the same time, calling his cronies over to discuss matters is also a means to enhance the relationship between the monarch and the minister, which is very important for Ji Xiao, who has the ambition of Zhongxing.
…………
A few days later, news spread in Shangluo City that the purpose of the Wei people was to ask to marry the princess.
The Wei people, who have been trying to go south in vain, actually want to ask to marry the princess for the first time, is this still the Wei people of the country of tigers and wolves?
So most of the Zhou people subconsciously thought that neither the Son of Heaven nor the princess herself would agree to this matter, and the Zhou family and the Wei State were incompatible.
No one knows what Ji Zhao, the Son of Heaven, thinks, but when Ji Bangyue learned the news, she was full of joy!
Her sky was originally gray, and her mother had died of illness just a month earlier, which meant that she was really unaccompanied in Shangluo.
And the one who supports Ji Bangyue to continue to live is the person who thinks and misses in her heart...... And now, that man really sent someone to propose!
Thinking of her hastily buried mother, the joy in Ji Bangyue's heart was replaced by sadness, and what she never forgot when her mother was dying was her own marriage!
Thinking of this, Ji Bangyue couldn't help crying, pitying her mother for suffering for most of her life!
"Princess, why are you crying?" Beside Ji Bangyue, Xiao'er, the maidservant who was waiting for her, asked softly.
Xiao'er was assigned to wait for her when Ji Bangyue was promised to Qin State......
It's a pity that all the Qin State Welcoming Missions were killed, and the marriage was not settled, and Xiao'er also broke off the idea of going to Qin State to enjoy happiness, and then was left by Ji Bangyue's side.
At first, Xiao'er was still upset about the princess, thinking that the princess's luck was really bad...... Can't marry the son of Qin!
But now, when Xiao'er first knew that Wei Guojun was asking to marry the princess, she was almost stunned!
In Xiao'er's cognition, Wei is the most powerful country in the world, and the monarch of Wei is naturally the most powerful man in this world!
Compared with the monarch of the Wei State, the prince of the Qin State is simply not worth mentioning, he is the monarch of the Qin State...... That's more than a notch inferior!
Xiao'er knows that the current monarch of Wei is Wu Yangjun, who was famous all over the world before, and he is a young hero who is praised by everyone.
Power, fame...... Who can compare these things with the monarch of Wei?
In Xiao'er's heart, even the Son of Heaven she admires the most is not the monarch of Wei.
Since she has this husband, Xiao'er doesn't know what else her princess has to be sad about, and sure enough, the master's mind is the most difficult to guess.
Seeing that the princess didn't speak, Xiao'er continued: "Princess, don't you like that Wei monarch?" ”
Immediately, Xiao'er said to herself: "It's the same...... Although he is the most powerful person in the world, he has never met after all...... Who knows if it's good or bad! ”
Ji Bangyue didn't expect Xiao'er to say this, but she didn't plan to reason with her, and the matter between her and Wei Wuji didn't need outsiders to understand.
After wiping away her tears, Ji Bangyue said, "You talk a lot all day...... What's the news out there now? Did Brother Wang agree to this?"
This is what Ji Bangyue is most concerned about, now she is twenty-one years old, and she is already an older leftover girl in this era!
Moreover, she is also desperate to leave Shangluo, this place full of sadness and suffering...... This was also her mother's wish on her deathbed.
Of course, Ji Bangyue's deepest thought is to be with her loved ones as soon as possible!
However, Ji Bangyue's question Xiao'er couldn't answer because she was just an ordinary maid.
…………
After the first day of September, Ji Xiao finally gathered several of his confidants together to make a final decision on the matter of Wei State's courtship.
The envoy of Wei has been urged several times, and it is not a way to continue to drag it out after all, Ji Xiao has to do this!
The reason why there has been no decision until now means that there is no agreement in the court meeting, some people are against this time, and some people are also in favor of making peace with Wei.
Of course, the most important thing is that Ji Xiao herself became wavering in her heart after listening to her opinions!
In the hall, an important minister said earnestly: "Your Majesty, Wei Guo was originally a tiger and wolf...... This courtship is something that has not been done for decades, and it must not hurt its heart to convey goodwill! ”
The plain meaning of this is that if you annoy the people of Wei, there may be some great disaster!
Anyway, she married the daughter of the royal family, a woman...... What is not to be happy with a peaceful life for everyone!
But Ji Xiao is most annoyed by hearing this, even if he has the intention of making peace now, it is difficult to convince his self-esteem now.
At this time, a middle-aged official in the crowd walked out and bowed to Ji Xiao.
This is Xiao Bing, the envoy who was sent by Ji Xiao to reward Wei Wuji, one of the talents discovered by Ji Xiao himself, and now he is also his confidant.
Ji Xiao really wanted to hear what Xiao Binghui said at this time!
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should agree to marry Wei State!"
After throwing out his own opinions, Xiao Bing went on to elaborate: "The third princess was originally promised to the Qin State, but after the Qin State welcomed the death of the envoy, the matter was over...... We also know who did it! ”
"Now that the people of Wei are asking to marry the third princess, this will only make the relationship between Qin and Wei worse...... It's a good thing for my Da Zhou, so I should agree to Wei Guo's request! ”
"In this way, my Great Zhou can relieve the pressure that the north has been under all the time, and turn around to strengthen itself!"
Speaking of this, seeing that everyone was contemplative, Xiao Bing continued: "At the same time, the imperial court should also send an envoy to the Qin State to explain the persecution of the Wei State, and the imperial court had to agree to this matter as a last resort...... In this way, we can not offend the people of the Qin State! ”
"In this way, it is Baili for my big Zhou!"
After Xiao Bing finished speaking, the sound of whispering began to sound in the hall, and everyone was discussing the feasibility of what Xiao Bing said.
In fact, the choice is so simple, Xiao Bing said that others may not have thought of it.
But no matter what, Xiao Bing's words can be regarded as moving the Son of Heaven Ji Xiao......
Or that Ji Xiao originally needed a reason to convince himself that he could agree to marry Wei without hurting his self-esteem.
After pressing his hands and suppressing the sound of discussion in the hall, Ji Xiao said slowly: "Qing's words are reasonable...... After careful consideration, the widow will make a decision, and this is the end of today's court meeting! ”
Ji Xiao's words were actually equivalent to telling everyone present that the matter of making peace with Wei was completed, otherwise how could he end the court discussion at this juncture.
