Chapter 2: The Woman Who Started the Wheel of Fortune
Houhai is the most mysterious land country in the East China Sea. The country is isolated from the rest of the world, and it is rumored that a group of Middle-earth people founded the country here to escape the war, and they lived a mysterious and happy life without fighting with the world.
But there can be no absolute secrets in this world. It is not known who revealed the existence of the Houhai Kingdom to the emperor of Middle-earth. The Emperor of Middle-earth hurriedly issued a decree to establish diplomatic relations with them.
This news is undoubtedly earth-shattering for Houhai State. At this time, the emperor of the Houhai Kingdom, "Zhongzhong", was discussing the matter with the ministers in the main hall.
Seeing that there was silence in the main hall, because no one knew whether this golden decree would bring them blessings or curses, and everyone's eyes were focused on the emperor, asking him to take an idea.
Zhong Zhong, the seventh emperor of the Houhai Kingdom. Since his ancestor "Zizheng" established Houhai Kingdom, he has been living without contact with the outside world, let alone letting his people step out of the country for half a step, so he has lived a peaceful life for two hundred years.
Although Zhong Zhong looked at his confidant ministers from above, at this time he seemed to truly understand what it meant to be alone. A holy decree sent by the Emperor of Middle-earth left his ministers at a loss for what to do.
Looking around, there is only one person in the main hall who seems to be able to solve the problems of this lonely man, and this person is the general of Houhai Kingdom, known as the "Iron Loyal Army".
He is in charge of all the military horses of the Houhai Army, and I am afraid that there is no one more suitable to express his opinion at this time.
Zhong Zhong said, "General Dedi, I want to hear your opinion!" ”
General Dedi seems to have known that His Majesty is asking about this. So he had already been prepared, and said, "Your Majesty, the ancestors have an order, all generals who are not relatives of the emperor are not allowed to discuss political affairs, and even if their subordinates have a thousand words, they will never dare to say one more word in the court!" ”
The closed door of the land that the people have eaten. But the ancestral precepts are here, and even the emperor who is high above must not disobey them.
What to do? This matter is so easy that the emperor can solve it without using his brain. Wouldn't marriage solve this solution?
So everyone said, "The general has to be reasonable." In fact, I ask this because I have long regarded you as my own family, and the family does not speak two words. I have decided to let my son marry your daughter 'Shanqiu', so that you will be the first relative of the Emperor of Houhai Kingdom, and you will be qualified to discuss political affairs!" ”
I heard that the emperor promised this family business in front of all the ministers. As General Dedi kowtowed gratefully and was about to give thanks, a woman's voice suddenly came from behind the emperor's throne.
"Wait!"
At this time, in the main hall, a woman whose momentum was not inferior to the emperor's majesty came to the court, and this woman's name was "Daye Privet", the queen of Houhai Kingdom. When she came to the court, the ministers began a set of cumbersome etiquette, and then the queen of the mother world did the emperor's side.
Because there has never been a rule that women can't discuss politics in Houhai Kingdom. So the queen's words, the emperor naturally had to take them into account.
The Emperor asked, "What does the Empress mean by 'slow'?" ”
The queen said, "General Dedi is the most important person in our Houhai Kingdom, marriage is important, but the most important thing is to let General Dedi's daughter be married to whom, so that Shanqiu can not be wronged!" ”
The Queen's words may sound a little childish. The emperor laughed and said, "Naturally, she is the daughter of the general who came to marry in the prince's great cause, do you still have to worry about this?" ”
The emperor's laughter did not make the queen feel ashamed, but said, "Your Majesty may not know, Shanqiu, the daughter of the general, is not an ordinary girl, she has been able to write and martial arts since she was a child, and the general has spent a lot of effort on his only daughter, although this crown princess seems to be enviable, but I believe that Shanqiu will never feel happy because of this, general, am I right?" ”
The queen's words undoubtedly put the general in a dilemma. If he denied the queen's words, then people would think that he was a general who coveted wealth and wealth, and his iron loyal army would be greatly discounted in the eyes of the people of Houhai Kingdom. But if he says yes, then not to mention such a good family matter, it is more important to sweep away the emperor's face in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.
He really couldn't figure out how the queen framed him like this. At this time, everyone was waiting for him to reply, so he couldn't pretend to be dumb.
So he knelt down and kowtowed again, and performed the cumbersome etiquette in its entirety, because this would buy time to think of countermeasures.
Finally, the countermeasure still made him think of it, and he said, "It is really a great honor for the little girl to be wrongly loved by His Majesty and the Queen." The matter of marriage is subordinate to the courtiers, and they should obey the will of His Majesty. Besides, the queen loves the little girl even more, thinking that the little girl's temperament does not love wealth and nobility, since the queen says so, then I will pretend to have the courage to say a word for my little girl's family business. ”
"As the saying goes, knowing the son is better than the father, Your Majesty and the Queen feel that the little girl can be worthy of the prince, and it should be decided by Your Majesty and the Queen, but whether the little girl marries the prince in the great cause, or the second prince Guoshiyan. It's a great blessing for the little girl. ”
If you get the land, you will not be offended. At this time, the emperor was in trouble. It's obviously a political marriage, why is it so complicated. But the words of the land also indicate that he has agreed to the marriage, which is easy to do, regardless of which son of his marries his daughter, he should be a relative of the royal family.
Since he is a relative of the emperor, he has the qualifications of a general to discuss political affairs. At this time, the emperor once again asked about the holy decree.
At this time, Dedi opened his mind and said, "The appearance of this holy decree shows that our Houhai Kingdom has no secrets to speak of, I want to ask everyone present, if we pretend not to see this holy decree, will their emperor of Middle-earth ignore us?" ”
Anyone can answer this question, but no one dares to answer it. General Dedi would have had such a result a long time ago. So he asked again, "If we adopt a policy of ignoring their holy decrees, what should we do in the event of war?" ”
Although this question was asked by General Dedi to everyone, it seemed to be asking him himself. Because he is a general who holds the power of the Houhai Kingdom, the outbreak of war will naturally be resolved by him.
At this point, no one answered. The general was not surprised, and said, "Well, no one will answer, I will answer." ”
"Let me answer the first question first. If we ignore it, the emperor of Middle-earth will think that we look down on him and continue to put pressure on us. And if the army of Middle-earth comes over, our Houhai Kingdom will only have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, how sure are we that we can resist the thousands of troops and horses of Middle-earth? ”
At this point, the problem has gradually become clear. Everyone looked at each other. As if he had made a decision, the emperor said, "General, you just say your way!" ”
The land finally waited for the emperor's determination. So he said, "Houhai is not an eternal secret after all, since this secret has been broken, then we should not be afraid, since we can't resist the thousands of troops in the soil, then the only thing we can do now is to establish diplomatic relations with Zhongtu, as far as I know, most of the emperors of Zhongtu have a good face, as long as we establish diplomatic relations with him and recognize it as his vassal state, I believe that the army of Zhongtu will not harass our Houhai country!" ”
The words of the land were sonorous and powerful, and no one dared to oppose his majesty. So the emperor made a decision and said, "General Dedi's words are exactly what I want, in order to protect the tens of millions of people in my Houhai country, I decided to open the country and establish diplomatic relations with China and Turkey!" ”
At this time, the ministers saw that the two most powerful people in Houhai Country had reached an agreement, and they had no personal thoughts, so they knelt on the ground and called Your Majesty Shengming!
After dispersing, Zhongzhong went straight to the queen's bedroom. He asked angrily, "Queen, why are you attacking the general in the court, do you know the consequences of doing this?" ”
The queen seemed to have been prepared, so she knelt on the ground and did not feel panicked, but said clearly: "Your Majesty, I naturally know the consequences if I mess with this family business. But I have this self-confidence, and I am sure that the general will be reluctant to cancel this marriage. But have you thought about it, once General Dedi easily obtains the status of the emperor's relatives, then his power will threaten Your Majesty, so I played Tai Chi on such a family matter, although I agreed to marry, but when to marry, let the prince marry the daughter of his family, we have the final say, when we don't get a definite answer, I believe that General Dedi will definitely die for His Majesty, because this is the best dowry he gives to marry his daughter! ”
The queen's words made the emperor suddenly realize. So he lifted the queen who was kneeling on the ground
, said with a look of self-reproach, "The queen's good intentions make me blame you wrong." Since the queen has already made up her mind, the queen is responsible for the marriage alone!
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your trust!"
At this time, the decision of the emperor and empress of Houhai Kingdom changed the fate of Houhai Country since then, and it can also be said that this woman opened a new wheel of fate in Houhai Kingdom!
