Chapter 272: Forced Marriage
After the banquet ended, Rong Yan took Zhao Yunling back, but it didn't take long for tens of thousands of eunuchs to hear the word outside: "Your Majesty, the queen's mother, and several ministers in the imperial study in front are waiting there, saying that they have something important to ask to see the emperor." ”
"What else could be going on at this time, wouldn't something be happening again? You'd better go check it out. Zhao Yunling subconsciously said.
If it weren't for what had happened, the ministers wouldn't have come in in droves and waited.
Rong Yan looked at Zhao Yunling as if he hadn't reacted at all, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "You don't think there's anything wrong."
"What could be wrong? Go ahead. ”
Zhao Yunling pulled Rong Yan up and pushed him outside, Rong Yan was pushed away, and said: "I just rejected the marriage of the Yihe clan at the banquet, and now these ministers have come to ask to see, and what they are talking about is nothing more than this matter, and they are definitely begging me to agree to the marriage of the Yihe clan." ”
“……”
After Zhao Yunling listened, her movements stopped, and at this time she had already pushed Rong Yan to the curtain, she stood in place, still holding Rong Yan's clothes with both hands, frowning and pondering.
When Rong Yan saw him like this, he finally felt a little valued by himself.
"Reacted? So what are you going to do? ”
"What else can I do, whether it is about this matter or not, you as an emperor can't avoid it, I'll go with you."
Zhao Yunling said, and went over together, Rong Yan smiled, but he didn't say anything, but he felt a little worried in his heart, and now he saw that everything that he had asked in the east was fine, but in fact, after the invasion of the Hu people before, as well as the war on the nomadic side, and the rebellion of Rong Yu happened when he had not recovered.
If it is because of the marriage matter, I am afraid that something will happen again, if it is necessary to marry, it is okay to find one in the clan, but it has not yet reached that part, so I did not speak.
Besides, there has never been such a marriage.
When I arrived at the imperial study, I really saw a lot of people, even Shangguan Wu was standing here, Rong Yan glanced at Shangguan Wu, Shangguan Wu showed a smile, and then stood silently on the side, and the rest of the people stepped forward: "The ministers and others meet the emperor, the queen." ”
"Let's be flat."
Rong Yan said lightly, led Zhao Yunling to sit down in front, and then saw the courtiers below stand up, and he said lightly: "What do you want to say?" ”
Shangguan Wu still didn't speak, she came here to wilt Oh another thing, but there is no need to say it now, it's not too late to wait for these people to finish speaking, the other people looked at each other, and it took a while before someone stood up and said: "Your Majesty, just now at the banquet, although the princess of the Yihe clan is indeed unorthodox, but the Yihe clan asked the envoy to bring their princess to come this time for marriage, which is also the intention of the leader of the Yihe clan, the minister feels that the emperor should still be good, and wait for this princess to enter the palace, The emperor doesn't like to put it aside. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, there are many problems in the country now, and they have been hidden on the surface, but if at this time, the leader of the Yihe clan thinks that Dongwen Kingdom has any other thoughts because of our refusal to marry, and instead goes to unite with other countries and send troops, it will be a big trouble." Immediately, someone came forward to echo it.
Saying this, other people also think the same way, Rong Yan's face is not very good, he refused the marriage at the banquet just now, and now they are here to say it, Zhao Yunling is not very happy, but thinking that these ministers are also thinking about the government, but this silk Luo is a little crooked, but he didn't say anything.
After a while, Rong Yan arrived: "Then what do you think, what should I do?" ”
They talked for a long time, and when they said this, the two people led by them glanced at each other, and then turned around and said: "The minister thinks that the emperor can agree to the marriage of this matter, and I want to come...... The queen won't stop her. ”
The topic suddenly moved to Zhao Yunling.
Zhao Yunling instantly felt that all eyes were focused on herself, she had just heard Rong Yan say that it was indeed her heart that rose and she would come with her, but after arriving here, she was not ready to speak, but these people didn't seem to be willing to let go of this opportunity.
If she disagrees, I'm afraid that this reputation for being jealous and ignoring the affairs of the country will spread.
Fame is secondary.
But the marriage is really difficult to deal with.
Zhao Yunling coughed, and said under the gaze of everyone: "Since this matter is related to the previous dynasty, it is inconvenient for me to take care of it, so let the emperor call the shots." ”
After finishing speaking, he stood up and said, "A few adults have a good chat with the emperor, and the palace will go back first." "Baiyue
Rong Yan watched this Zhao Yunling slip away, and when he arrived outside the door, he stretched out his head and smiled at him, and he couldn't help but show a smile on his lips, and only after waiting for someone to leave did he turn around and look at the courtiers in front of him.
The person who opened his mouth didn't expect Zhao Yunling to leave like this, so he had to look at Rong Yan.
Rong Yan thought for a while: "There is some truth in what the adults said, this joint venture cannot be decided hastily, but this princess of the Yihe clan is not a noble identity in the end, I can find a person of the right age in the clan, and it will be a good thing." ”
"This ......"
The minister hesitated a little, and one person stood up: "Your Majesty, it's naturally good in this way, but I'm afraid that the Yihe clan won't agree." ”
"Yes, it is not good for this princess to marry to the clan, and besides, it is not easy to choose a suitable person in the clan."
"I'm afraid that a few adults have forgotten, this Yihe clan is not a jackal, tiger and leopard, people haven't said anything yet, you are worried so much here, even if the domestic army is empty now, but to go to a Yihe clan, do you really dare to be tough, and marrying a child of a clan is already giving face."
Shangguan Wu suddenly stood up, and the few ministers who were still hesitating after saying something didn't know what to say for an instant.
Rong Yan took the opportunity to settle this matter: "This matter is so decided, as for who is decided in the clan, just choose one." ”
"Your Ministers obey."
After sending these ministers away, Rong Yan saw that Shangguan Wu hadn't left yet, and Shangguan Wu hadn't spoken much just now, so he knew that Shangguan Wu had other things.
"Say what you have to say."
Shangguan Wu then spoke: "Last time, the rebellion was tolerated, and the neighboring countries were all eyeing it, and now only the envoys of the Yihe clan have come to the capital, and it stands to reason that the envoys of other countries should also come. ”
"Didn't you already get people to strengthen their defense from the beginning? Most of the troops stationed in the country were also transferred to the frontier. ”
Rong Yan put down the fold, looked at Shangguan Wu, saw her face deeply oily, and squinted: "Did you receive any news?" ”
"There is no news, but the minister always feels uneasy in his heart."
Shangguan Wu used to fight, so he naturally knew when it was best, if the enemy country wanted to send troops at this time, it was actually very possible, Rong Yan also thought about it a little: "I will send people to verify this matter, and all border passes have also stepped up inspections, if the enemy country really makes some small moves at this time, it is necessary to find a way to deal with it." ”
Shangguan Wu nodded, and the two discussed for a long time before Shangguan Wu left the palace.
After Rong Yan left the imperial study, he went to find Zhao Yunling.
Zhao Yunling glanced at Rong Yan's expression, and guessed in his heart that this matter should have been solved by thinking of other ways before he smiled and said, "What method have you thought of?" ”
"Pick a man from the clan to marry."
"I don't think the princess of the Yihe clan will agree." Zhao Yunling said affirmatively.
I wasn't sure before, but after today's banquet, he was sure that the strictness of the princess of the Yihe clan was only Rong Yan alone, if she was asked to marry someone else now, I was afraid that she would not agree, but I didn't know that in the Yihe clan, this princess's words have a certain weight, if it has weight, I am afraid it will be a little troublesome, but the princess who can let the Yihe clan send over and kiss should not have so much weight, as long as this matter is discussed with the leader of the Yihe clan, there will be no problem.
Zhao Yunling told Rong Yan what he thought, and Rong Yan nodded: "I think so too, I originally thought that they would only have a month when they were about twice as old as Jingchen, but now it seems that it will take even longer, so I have to send a letter to the leader of the Yihe clan first." ”
"Hmm."
Zhao Yunling nodded, and soon talked about other things, the atmosphere was a little relaxed, and Rong Yan showed some smiles on his face, but there were still some hidden worries in his eyes, and he originally felt that there was no problem, but after Shangguan Wu said those things, he felt in his heart that this matter could not be passed so easily.
Zhao Yunling could see that Rong Yan was pressing things in his heart, and he thought that it was this time to get married, but he didn't know what to say about this kind of thing, if he wanted to make an image of Rong Yan and the princess marrying her, she would definitely not want to, and it was impossible to make a happy appearance.
But if Rong Yan is asked to guarantee what must happen, the current situation in Dongwenguo really can't be forced, no matter what time it is, you must always see the current environment clearly, and those concerns in Rong Yan's heart are indeed reasonable.
After two days, Rong Yan's letter to the leader of the Yihe tribe was sent out, but the letter had not yet been delivered, but the letter from the leader of the Yihe tribe was sent first, and it was placed on the desk of Rong Yan's imperial study.
