Chapter 69: The Royal Palace: Discussing Marriage

The Xianbei Royal Palace, although much smaller than the Taiji Palace of the Jin Palace, but the huge relief totem behind the throne --- Xianbei Rui Beast, which makes the whole hall present a different kind of solemnity, which makes people feel awe.

On the throne, although Murong Shegui, the king of Xianbei, was tired, he did not lose his majesty, and occasionally coughed, which made people obviously feel that he was in poor health.

At this time on the throne, there were Murong Diao and Murong Nagui standing respectively, and the others were Murong Nai, the king of Guli, Murong Tuguhun, the eldest son of Murong Shegui, and the generals.

Unlike the court of the Han people, except for the occasional general with armor, the rest of the people are wearing their own civilian clothes, which looks a little varied, which shows that although Murong is involved in the French and Jin systems, he has not yet learned the etiquette system of the Han people.

Liaodong Taishou Zhang Shuliao entered the hall with a scepter and a letter of state, and greeted Murong Shegui with Xianbei etiquette: "The Jin envoy Liaodong Taishou Zhang Shuliao visited the Xianbei Governor and Murong Dadanyu!" ”

At the same time, he presented the letter of state with both hands, and Murong Diao handed over the letter to Murong Shegui. After reading the national letter, Murong Shegui's face changed slightly, and he handed the national letter to Murong Diao.

Zhang Shuliao's letter of state turned out to be a marriage, which Murong Shegui didn't expect, and even Murong Diao and Murong Nagui were quite surprised after reading it.

"It is said in the national book that the Jin Kingdom intends to marry the Xianbei Murong family, and Princess Xuanhua is willing to marry the prince Murong Jia, which is indeed a happy thing, and Ben Shan Yu is also happy."

Murong Shegui said politely at first, but Murong Shegui thought that Empress Jia proposed a marriage at the critical moment when she killed the prince and set up another prince, I am afraid that the drunkard does not mean to drink.

After exchanging glances with Murong Diao, Murong Shegui coughed lightly a few times, and said with a little embarrassment: "It's just that Ben Dan Yu just received a letter from Wang Er, saying that he already has a woman he loves, which makes it difficult for this king to do!" ”

"Oh? Does the little prince Murong have a favorite woman? This sounds like a gratifying thing, Da Dan Yu is benevolent and open-minded, and wants to become a beloved son, this is Da Dan Yu shows a father's heart to the little prince, but in our Dajin, the family affairs of the Son of Heaven are also state affairs, I don't know how Prince Murong's marriage is. ”

Uncle Zhang was following Murong Shegui's words on the surface, but behind these words, there was another meaning, Da Shan Yu was not only his father, but also the king of Xianbei.

How could Murong Shegui not hear what Zhang Shuliao meant, but he pretended to continue his opinion:

"Yes, there are not many heirs in this single order, just these three sons, the little prince Murong Jia was sent to Luoyang at the age of twelve, and now it has been twelve years. Now I only hope that he can return as soon as possible and assist his royal brother, if he can marry a woman with both virtue and ability, and live happily, how can I, a father, not be fulfilled by him! ”

"Da Dan is in love, but the dispute between the Yuwen Ministry and the Murong Ministry has not been broken in recent years, and the Tuoba Department has been involved in recent years, and the Murong Department is in a difficult situation.

Hearing Zhang Shuliao's words, the eldest prince Tuyuhun couldn't suppress the fire at that time and refuted it: "

I, Murong Xianbei, have been the overlord of this Liaodong grassland since I built the Great Thorn City, under the leadership of the great Da Shan Yu, how can the Yuwen Department talk to us on the same day, but your Jin Kingdom is probably suffering from internal and external troubles, and the national strength is declining! ”

Zhang Shuliao didn't know how to answer when he was robbed by Tuyuhun, so he had to smile awkwardly: "My Great Jin Kingdom has already quelled the rebellion in Beijun, and now the country is strong, and our queen mother is willing to marry her favorite princess to the little prince Murong, which is with sincerity." ”

At this time, Murong Diao took Zhang Shuliao's words: "What Zhang Taishou said is good, the kingdom sends the princess and relatives, this is my Xianbei Murong family's honor, but this marriage is a major event between the two countries, according to the habits of my Xianbei people, I also need to ask the shaman to divination, Zhang Taishou and first go to the post house to rest, and in the evening, the prince of the world personally set up a banquet to welcome the envoys of the kingdom!" ”

When Zhang Shuliao heard this, he knew in his heart that this was a matter of marriage to be discussed by the royal court, so he gave a gift and retired.

"Da Danyu, Mrs. Zhang is polite, if the marriage can seek greater benefits, this is a good thing, don't you say the great sect?" Murong Shegui's little brother, Murong Nai, the king of Guli, said to Murong Shegui in a rough voice.

"This is the princess of the Jin Kingdom who voluntarily married, and it is not us who ask to marry, the princess of the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu royal court made peace, and there is no need for a real princess, our Murong Department can marry a princess, which is also to greatly improve the prestige of our Murong Department in the Xianbei tribes, and also suppress the momentum of the Jin Kingdom!"

The eldest prince Murong Tuguhun said his thoughts, and in his heart, he was the most disgusted that the people of the Jin Kingdom always regarded themselves as the Heavenly Empire.

"Yes, yes, the eldest prince is right, if the little prince really likes that woman, he will marry back as a side concubine in the future!" A general echoed with a laugh.

In the palace of the royal court, there was a discussion of seven mouths and big tongues, Murong Shegui coughed from time to time, and Murong Diao and Murong Nagui listened to everyone's discussion, laughing and not saying a word.

At this time, Murong was anxious: "Brother Wang, the prince, and the great sect secretary, whether you are married or not, you are talking!" ”

The great sect priest coughed lightly twice, and said with a smile: "The benefits of marrying with the Jin State, our wise Shan Yu has thought of it a long time ago, but now that the queen of the Jin State has killed the crown prince, and the emperor of the Jin State has no son, I am afraid that the princes of the Sima family will have a battle for the throne, once the civil strife of the Central Plains people comes, we will marry the Jin State at this time and marry the daughter of Queen Jia, which may not be a good thing!" ”

"What, the queen of the Jin Kingdom killed the crown prince? That's a good thing! Murong Tugu Hun grinned and said with a smile: "According to this, the queen of this Jin Kingdom sent a daughter over at this time, I am afraid that she dreamed that her father would help her send troops to suppress the rebellion of the Sima family!" ”

"Hahaha, I also heard that the queen of the Jin Kingdom designed to kill the crown prince, this Jin Kingdom has been ruled by women for a long time, and men have become the same as women, only wearing grease and rouge, not being able to get on a war horse, and fighting around like a woman", hahaha, there was a burst of laughter from the hall.

"This Jin civil strife is an opportunity for all ethnic groups in the north!"

"Yes, once the Jin civil strife occurs, the Qiang and Di people may have to make a comeback, and then the world may not be able to tell what will happen!"

There was another commotion in the main hall, and it was obvious that the news that the only son of the emperor of the Jin Kingdom had been killed by the empress was more exciting than the marriage.

Looking at the excitement of the Manchao, Murong Shegui signaled that Murong Diao was almost there, only to see Murong Diao clear his throat, raise his hand to stop the discussion in the hall, and then said with a smile: "Do you have any suggestions?" ”

I saw that Chang Shi Qi, who had been silent, stood up and said: "

"Da Danyu, the current situation is still unclear, we can't rush to conclusions, according to the minister's opinion, the marriage of the Jin Kingdom still has to be returned, and we will agree to come down first to see what the situation of the Jin Kingdom is."

"Well, what Lord Changshi said is right, you can't rush to conclusions!" Everyone looks at me and I look at you, but they all agree with the opinion of the seventh floor.

"Okay, then go back to the Liaodong envoy first, just say that the shaman sorcerer divination, must be according to our Xianbei ancient wedding customs, this year's suitable day for the prince's wedding is too late, it needs to be in the spring of next year, Murong Jia will marry the princess Xuanhua of the Jin Kingdom, Rao Shui banquet marriage, and see how the Jin country is in this time.

Murong Shegui made a decision.
