Chapter 95: Wanyan Yongkang's Choice
The Emperor of the Dajin Empire spoke, and the officials breathed a sigh of relief, after all, if there was no war, they would not have to worry about their lives.
Therefore, they all obeyed the arrangement, went to prepare, and after the hundred officials left, Wanyan Yongkang walked into the harem dejectedly.
Walking on the harem road, looking at the gorgeous and colorful imperial garden, I didn't have the heart to appreciate it.
When the palace maids and eunuchs saw that the emperor was sullen, they all hid aside and did not dare to speak.
Xiuying Palace is the place where Wanyan Yongkang's favorite concubine Jiang Xiuying lives, and the other party is Wanyan Yongkang's favorite imperial concubine.
At the same time, she is also the mother of Princess Xiangxiang, and she is more attractive than the queen, so her status is also the most noble woman in the palace except for the queen.
Usually, because the queen is old and old, Wanyan Yongkang rests in Xiuying Palace.
However, the matter of the border pass has not been transmitted to the harem, so although the court is surging, there is still laughter and laughter in the harem.
When he came to the outside of Xiuying Palace, he heard the sound of the piano coming from the palace, but Wanyan Yongkang listened to it in his ears, but it was very harsh, and he was not as calm as before.
"Enough!"
Wanyan Yongkang came to the palace and saw a fresh and refined woman playing the piano, a palace maid dancing with her, and a beautiful woman listening.
There was an angry shout in his heart, and the palace was in a tumultuous sound, and the sound of the piano immediately stopped, and the dancers were directly shocked to the ground.
Then they knelt down.
"Slaves and maidservants greet Your Majesty. ”
The girl playing the piano was Princess Xiangxiang, wearing a white palace dress, and when she saw that Yan Yongkang was unhappy, she quickly stood up.
came to Wanyan Yongkang and asked with concern.
"Father, you're here, what's wrong with you today?"
The imperial concubine stood up at this time, came to Wanyan Yongkang's side, and held his hand with her daughter left and right.
"Your Majesty, who made you angry, why are you so angry today?"
After finishing speaking, seeing that Yan Yongkang did not answer, he hurriedly waved his hand to the palace maids.
"All of you go down!"
"Yes. ”
Several palace maids had already been frightened, but they didn't dare to move without an order, but now that they heard the order, they could finally leave, and they saluted and left.
Seeing the palace maid leaving, only their mother and daughter and Wanyan Yongkang were left in the palace, and they hurriedly took each other's hands.
"Your Majesty, sit down, see that you look bad, something must have happened, what is the matter with you, can you tell the concubine?"
"Although the concubine is a woman, she can't share the worries and solve problems for Your Majesty, but she can also analyze the situation for Your Majesty. ”
Jiang Xiuying exhaled like an orchid, her voice was pleasant, and she was more understanding, no wonder she was able to get Wanyan Yongkang's favor.
Hearing this, Wanyan Yongkang's originally irritable mood calmed down a little, and the thought of letting his most beloved daughter enter the Ming Empire as a hostage, he felt sorry for their mother and daughter, so he was not angry.
sighed and said, "What Concubine Ai said is that I was a little troubled and in a bad mood, which frightened Concubine Ai and Xiang'er. ”
"Sit down, I have something to tell you today. ”
"Your Majesty, please say something, it is our blessing that the concubines and Xiang'er can listen to Your Majesty's heart. ”
"Father, if there is anything, don't hold it in your heart, it will be better to say it. After hearing Yan Yongkang's words, the second daughter hurriedly persuaded her.
"Hey! It's strange to say this, it's because I'm too ambitious, thinking that the Ming Empire is fighting with their own internal forces. ”
"I wanted to take this opportunity to enter the Ming Empire and reap the power of the fisherman, but I didn't expect the Ming Empire to be so terrible, and the turmoil was quelled in a short time. ”
"And waved our troops in all directions, so that our 500,000 army and the 500,000 army of the Great Mongolian Empire were all wiped out, and even your imperial uncle Zhennan Wang and the powerful national teacher did not escape, and all stayed at the border pass. ”
"That's not all, and then the army of the Ming Empire was even more overwhelming, breaking through the entire Great Mongolian Empire and slaughtering. ”
"In the entire steppe tribe of the Dameng Empire, the men almost died, and only the women were escorted to the Ming Dynasty. ”
"Now the other party is leading a large army again, and it is coming towards our Dajin Empire, and the other party's army is fierce and powerful, and it is far from being able to deal with us. ”
"The spies from the front came to report that the enemy army was only a thousand miles away from the imperial city, and it would not be long before they could come to the imperial city. ”
"We only have 300,000 defenders left, and we are not the opponent of the other party at all. ”
"It seems that the sky is going to destroy my Dajin Empire!"
After saying this, Wanyan Yongkang looked at the reaction of the mother and daughter, and saw that both of them looked incredulous.
They have always thought that the Dajin Empire is the most powerful empire in the whole world, and even the Dameng Empire and the Daming Empire are inferior.
In the palace, they were protected by His Majesty, and in their opinion, they would live a carefree life, but they didn't expect that today's words from Yan Yongkang were like a thunderbolt from the sky, making them lose their faces.
"Your Majesty, what are we going to do now?"
Jiang Xiuying asked a little nervously, she had never panicked, and when she heard what happened to the Dameng Empire at this time, she was inevitably afraid.
"After I discussed with the hundred officials, I decided to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, but even so, the army of the Ming Empire will not let us go so easily. ”
"After all, the Great Mongolian Empire is a lesson from the past, so it was decided by me and the hundred officials. ”
Wanyan Yongkang said and glanced at Princess Xiangxiang, and then said.
"There is no man in the world who doesn't like beautiful women, I decided to let Xiang'er enter the palace of the Ming Empire, so that the Ming Empire may let us go. ”
"Therefore, for the lives of thousands of people in our Dajin Empire, there is only Xiang'er who has been wronged. ”
After hearing Yan Yongkang's words, Princess Xiangxiang's face turned pale, she didn't expect that her own princess would have this ending without her own freedom.
She knew that she had no choice, she could only accept her fate, she didn't know that the emperor of the Ming Empire was old or young, handsome or ugly.
But for the sake of the people of the empire, no matter what, even if it is a gray-haired old man, she must marry.
"Your Majesty, isn't there anything we can do? Xiang'er is our only child, once we leave us and enter the Daming Palace, we won't even have a chance to meet. ”
Jiang Xiuying now sees her daughter's appearance, and her eyes are full of tears.
"Hey, do you think I'll give it up? The Ming Empire killed our 500,000 troops, and now it has slaughtered the people of our country, I hate the Ming Empire to die, but for the sake of our country, unlike the Dameng Empire, it can only be like this. ”
After hearing Yan Yongkang's words, the palace fell silent.
