Chapter 503: My Territory, My Decision
Under Wei Zheng's stunned gaze again, Zhang Yan, who was flushed, directly avoided Wei Zheng's eyes looking at him. Then, subconsciously when you want to say yes.
The Ministry of Rites, who has never spoken, really can't bear to see Wei Zheng provoke Empress Yi'an again and again and destroy the etiquette. Speak directly.
"Wei Dashuai, Weichen hopes you don't go too far, the queen is enough to give you face...... In the Ming Dynasty"
It is reasonable to be reasonable, you can't see Princess Le'an in advance, please don't embarrass the queen in Wei. ”
I haven't even seen my future wife, so I'm going to marry him. Wei Zheng, who came to the Ming Dynasty, heard this kind of thing more than once. However, when this kind of thing really happened to him, Wei Zheng still had no way to accept it.
Even if the chief of staff, Sun Chengzong, has affirmed himself many times, this Princess Le'an is very beautiful and knowledgeable, if he marries her, she will definitely be a very good wife. However, Wei Zheng only believes in one sentence, and that is that seeing is believing. Otherwise, he would never joke with the future of himself and Princess Le'an.
Therefore, as soon as the words of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu were finished, a sneer appeared on Wei Zheng's face.
In front of Empress Yi'an, he asked with a murderous face: "What are you, whether you can take a look at Princess Le'an in advance, it is a private matter between Ben Shuai and the queen, and it has nothing to do with you......
"If Ben Shuai hears your nonsense again, you won't leave Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. Don't forget, this is the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, and it is the territory of Ben Shuai, not the court you use to play prestige......"
Facing Wei Zheng's murderous roar. Just now it was still an arrogant Ministry of Rites. Keep your head down like a defeated rooster. Retreat behind Empress Yi'an.
As for Empress Yi'an in front of Wei Zheng now, her flushed face was already covered with shock at this moment.
Because, the toughness and murderous aura that Wei Zheng had just shown to the Shangshu of the Imperial Court Zheng'er Rite Department was something that he had never seen in Emperor Tianqi and Emperor Chongzhen......
As a warlord who is outside the imperial court, how much strength is required to be able to say to an important minister of the imperial court, which is not daring to be said by the emperor of the dynasty. How bold......
You must know that according to what you know, Wei Zheng, who has a murderous face in front of him, was still an unknown little bandit at the border a few years ago. It only took a few years for him to develop into a local warlord that the imperial court feared, how did he do it......
Could it be that his abilities in all aspects are stronger than Chongzhen, the son of heaven. Otherwise, why would Sun Chengzong, who has always served the imperial court, choose to turn his back on the imperial court. Join the Haw Par Army......
Faced with all kinds of questions that flashed in his mind in the blink of an eye, what Zhang Yan didn't know was. My feelings about Wei Zheng in front of me have changed from dissatisfaction and disgust at the beginning of contact to interest step by step.
And a woman, once she becomes interested in a man, it means that this woman is falling in love with this man who she can't figure out and see clearly.
However, these minor changes are unknown to Zhang Yan.
Of course, even if Zhang Yan knew that she was the queen, she would deny it.
And just when Zhang Yan's face changed with psychological changes. Wei Zheng's spearhead has been transferred from Hubu Shangshu to Zhang Yan.
Of course, the murderous aura that was constantly emanating from the whole body also slowly dissipated......
After taking a deep breath, he said in a firm tone: "Sister-in-law, Ben Shuai wants to know your answer...... If you don't agree, then Ben Shuai will take back the word sister-in-law just called you, and the court will give Ben Shuai a marriage, and Ben Shuai will have no way to accept it, and then Ben Shuai will agree to the most basic conditions for this marriage......"
Facing Wei Zheng's suddenly stern gaze, Zhang Yan, who was undergoing various changes in his heart, fell into hesitation again, not knowing how to answer.
At this moment, Zhang Qian, the head of the household department, said that this person who regarded the interests of the imperial court as a qiē spoke again: "Empress, the minister thinks that whether it is for the future of Wei Dashuai or the future of Princess Le'an, you should agree to this condition of Wei Dashuai." Lao Chen believes that with Princess Le'an's beauty and knowledge, he will definitely satisfy Wei Dashuai...... The queen should believe in Princess Le'an and believe in Wei Dashuai......"
With this buffer time that Zhang Qianshu proposed to himself, because Wei Zheng suddenly showed a strong and murderous aura, Zhang Yan, who was shocked, finally reacted from all kinds of complicated emotions......
After taking a deep breath, he ordered to the palace maid beside him: "Pass on the decree of the palace, let Princess Le'an come to see the palace, and by the way, also come to see her future husband..."
Soon, Princess Le'an, who was also wearing a crown dress, appeared in front of Wei Zheng.
Facing Princess Le'an, Wei Zheng's first feeling was also two words, that is, beautiful.
Queen Yi'an Zhang Yan gave herself the feeling of being amazing and mature. As for Princess Le'an beside Zhang Yan, she gave herself a fresh and refined feeling.
With just one glance, Wei Zheng recognized his first wife after coming to this world from the bottom of his heart.
However, what Wei Zheng can see is only the appearance, and if he wants to really understand this Princess Le'an, he must have enough time.
So, he took a deep look at the Wei Zheng of Princess Le'an and Empress Yi'an in front of him, and directly made a startling decision: "The marriage decree of the imperial court has been accepted. However, the specific wedding time must be pushed back by one month. As for how the imperial court explained to the subjects of the world, it was the imperial court's own and had nothing to do with the marshal. ”
If the marriage is postponed for one month, does it mean that the five million taels of silver that the court will continue will not be handed over to the court until a month later.
Zhang Qianshu, who was standing behind Empress Yi'an, couldn't imagine that a month later, under the temptation of the high salaries of the Tiger and Leopard Army, the more than 100,000 soldiers of the border army who defended the border pass in the imperial court would have fled completely...
Therefore, as soon as Wei Zheng's words were finished, Zhang Qianshu, who was anxious, hurriedly spoke: "Wei Dashuai... The day of your wedding is an auspicious day of the zodiac calculated by the Qin Tian... If you change it casually, it may not be an auspicious day for the zodiac, so please consider it carefully..."
Wei Zheng replied without thinking: "Ben Shuai knows what you are anxious about....The date of the big wedding is pushed back by a month, and as for the specific time of the big wedding, Ben Shuai will notify the court." As for the five million taels of silver urgently needed by the imperial court, Ben Shuai can give it to you immediately. However, it is necessary for Lord Zhang to go to the Governor's Mansion in person and discuss with Vice Premier Zhou of the Governor's Mansion in detail..."
In addition to this, Ben Shuai has another request...... Although Ben Shuai's wedding has been postponed, Queen Yi'an, who is responsible for marrying Ben Shuai, that is, Ben Shuai's future sister-in-law, must stay in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces with Empress Yi'an......
A very important factor in the reason why the imperial court will give marriage and Wei Zheng is five million taels of silver.
Now that the five million taels of silver have been settled, the specific wedding time of Wei Zheng, and even the departure and stay of Empress Yi'an, is beyond the control of Zhang Qianshu, the head of the household.
Besides, with Zhang Qian's understanding of Emperor Chongzhen, as long as he gets the silver, Emperor Chongzhen will not care too much about Empress Yi'an's stay.
After all, this Empress Yi'an is her own imperial sister-in-law, not her wife.
Therefore, as soon as Wei Zheng's request was finished, Zhang Qianshu hurriedly replied: "Wei Dashuai, on behalf of the imperial court, agrees to Wei Dashuai's two requests....Empress Yi'an and Princess Le'an can stay in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces......"
"It's just that I hope that Wei Dashuai can fulfill his promise and hand over five million taels of silver to this official as much as possible......"
Wei Zheng replied without thinking about it: "Five million taels of silver is a huge amount for the imperial court. However, for Ben Shuai, it can come out just by picking his fingers. So, since Ben Shuai said it, he will give it to you....If you don't believe it, you can go to the Governor's Mansion now, find Vice Premier Zhou, and discuss the matter of silver..."
"The official will go right away..."Zhang Qianshu, who was anxious to see the silver, replied without thinking about it.
At this moment, Empress Yi'an's increasingly angry facial expression finally appeared in front of Zhang Qianshu. Under the gaze of Empress Yi'an's eyes full of anger, Zhang Qianshu could only answer with an embarrassed face: "Please atone for the queen's sins....you also know the current predicament of the imperial court....I hope that the queen can pay again for the sake of the court and the emperor, and stay in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces......
After finishing speaking, Zhang Qianshu, who was full of anticipation, left here under the angry gaze of Queen Yi'an.
looked at Empress Yi'an, who was angry in front of her and was constantly panting in her mouth. The Yan expression on Wei Zheng's face was quickly covered with a smile... Then, he said to Queen Yi'an and Princess Le'an.
"You've all seen the put... Where is this the imperial court marriage... To put it more bluntly, for five million taels of silver, the imperial court directly sold the two of you to Ben Shuai..."
"Don't be angry, since the court has sold you to Ben Shuai, and you have come to Ben Shuai's territory, then Ben Shuai will not let you be wronged. You know, you bought it back for five million taels of silver. ”
Empress Yi'an, who was already full of anger, had an angry expression on her face even stronger after listening to Wei Zheng's mocking words. The most obvious thing is that a face that was only a little flushed just now is already flushed with anger at this moment.
Because, although Wei Zheng's words were difficult to hear, he was smart enough to understand the ultimate purpose of this political marriage in a short period of time from the dialogue between Wei Zheng and Zhang Qianshu.
Of course, this is not what makes Zhang Yan the most angry.
No matter how I say it, she is also the queen of the former dynasty and the emperor's sister-in-law. And the court and the emperor actually left their sister-in-law in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces for the sake of silver....Is it really as Wei Zheng said, for the sake of silver, the court sold himself and Princess Le'an to Wei Zheng in front of him...... (To be continued......)
