Chapter 175: Rumors Spread (Part I)

"You know what? Recently, the prince of Yunnan and the county lord of Yan are about to get married! ”

"So what? This matter has long been known to many people. ”

"But did you know? This time the incident was a signal of a secret alliance between Yunnan and Yan, and then South Vietnam would be in danger. ”

For a while, I saw all kinds of rumors spread, and even spread more and more crookedly, making many people think that this marriage was a premeditated plan arranged by the two countries in advance.

Such a thing spread to the capital after a while, and many people were discussing this matter, and even the emperor was shocked.

In the imperial garden, the emperor invited Mo Xuanyin to enjoy the flowers together, but looking at the emperor's expression, Mo Xuanyin understood that this time it was not just about enjoying the flowers.

"Shizi, there have been rumors of the alliance between Yunnan and Yan recently throughout Nanyue, what do you think about this?" The emperor looked at the words inside and asked.

Mo Xuanyin disagreed, "This is purely groundless, Yunnan and Yan have always been on good terms, this marriage just makes the two countries more close, there is nothing bad." ”

Watching Mo Xuanyin stroll around like this, the words he said with all his heart did have another meaning in the emperor's ears.

"Shizi, what do you think of the county lord of Yan Kingdom?" The emperor sat down suddenly, and stretched out his hand to signal Mo Xuanyin to sit down together.

Seeing that the emperor was about to ask himself, he saw Mo Xuanyin hesitate for a while, and then replied: "Hmm... At first, the county lord thought that he was a rich lady's brutal willfulness, but after getting along, the minister found that the county lord was only not deeply involved in the world, and it was inevitable that there was an indescribable pity. ”

Hearing Mo Xuanyin say such a thing, it was different from the complaint in his impression, which made the emperor even more suspicious.

"In this way, the relationship between the two of you is also good, and I am really gratified, but when it comes to getting married, I don't know if the prince has considered the feelings of the monarch?" The emperor asked.

Hearing this, Mo Xuanyin paused for a moment: "Why did the emperor say this, this matter was originally decided by the emperors of the Three Kingdoms, wasn't it?" Even if you didn't want to do it before, now you have to obediently obey, right? What's more, the county lord's personality does not have the imaginary disgust, although he is not generous and decent, but he is also a bird. ”

However, Mo Xuanyin's words, in the emperor's understanding, deepened Mo Xuanyin's acceptance of this marriage, which was originally a very good progress in his understanding, but the recent rumors across the country made him hesitate a little about this marriage.

"That, Shizi, what do you think of the recent rumors in Nanyue?" The emperor suddenly poured tea for Mo Xuanyin and asked.

Looking at the meaning of this cup of tea, Mo Xuanyin smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that you invited me to enjoy the flowers this time, I am afraid that you are here for this matter, right?" ”

"I'm just a little worried, because as a monarch, I have to share the worries of the people, right?" The emperor sighed after drinking a cup of tea.

However, to Mo Xuanyin's ears, this sentence was more like his sarcasm about himself.

"The emperor's worries are not unreasonable, but this time is also a bit unfounded, the three countries are friendly, why did they suddenly threaten the South Vietnamese country? What's more, the previous war with Lanling State has fully demonstrated the strength of Nanyue State, which is enough to deter countries from daring to attack, right? Mo Xuanyin explained.

After hearing this, the emperor also nodded slightly in agreement, but he still understood in his heart that this was Mo Xuanyin deliberately too high in Nanyue.

"The prince has won the award this time, and what I'm really worried about is not the small countries around him, but the Yan country and Yunnan country." When the emperor said about the two countries, his eyes were a little strange, but it was only for a moment.

Of course, such a change made Mo Xuanyin understand his intentions.

"Your Majesty, when the South Yue Kingdom was conquering everywhere, the Yunnan State and the Yan State also chose to form an alliance to become vassals in order to avoid the war poisoning the people, if it wasn't for the mercy of the South Yue State at that time, how could there be such a situation today, would the emperor think that the Yunnan State and the Yan State were such an ungrateful country?" Mo Xuanyin asked rhetorically.

The conversation between the two was gradually filled with the smell of gunpowder, and even the father-in-law and palace maids on the side were a little afraid, especially when Mo Xuanyin said such words, it made them sweat on their faces.

"Hahaha... Where is the prince talking about this, I just tried it out, I didn't mean anything else, please rest assured, in fact, I just thought about it, about the marriage of the county lord of Yan Kingdom, maybe it is really as the prince said, it is a deliberate person who is making an obstacle in it, in order to live up to the feelings of the county lord, I decided to find another person for her to marry. ”

Mo Xuanyin heard the emperor speak like this, and said with some regret: "What does the emperor mean is to find a candidate for the county lord?" ”

"The marriage of the royal nobles has always been the order of the parents, and I have seen enough of the words of the matchmaker, if there is such an opportunity, I also want to see the county lord marry the person he wants, isn't it a beautiful thing?" The emperor asked.

Hearing this, Mo Xuanyin was also happy, but he still kept calm and thanked the emperor.

"The minister bows to the emperor for the county lord, and I hope that the county lord can find his wishful husband, so that King Yan can rest assured." Mo Xuanyin thanked him.

The next day, the minister, who was still discussing the rumors, was suddenly ended by a sentence from the emperor.

"I have decided to cancel the marriage between the county lord of Yan and the prince of Yunnan until the county lord finds the person he likes and then discuss."

The people in the audience immediately looked at each other, they didn't know what was going on, the rumors were only two days, and the emperor suddenly changed his tone, which was really surprising

However, this decision is also reasonable for King Yan, this matter is a bit strange, but now the county lord is no longer a virgin, which allows her to choose the person she likes, which can be regarded as a kind of respect for her.

"I have no opinion on Prince Duan's decision, so please preside over Prince Duan and this king at that time?" Yan Wang said.

Seeing that King Yan took the lead in expressing his position, the people below didn't dare to say anything, even the master's family said so, and the king of Yunnan also took a position.

"King Yan is also a pity this time, but this king is not a person who asks for it, and the Yunnan Kingdom will definitely be ready to give generous gifts at that time."

Seeing that the two had also reached a consensus, Prince Duan immediately announced that the marriage was over.

Before everyone could react, the marriage ended in a farce, which couldn't help but make people suspicious.

Mu Chuan, who was below, also gritted his teeth with hatred, but he didn't expect that at this point, he was still resolved by Mo Xuanyin.

Seeing that the king between the two countries had no opinion, Prince Duan breathed a sigh of relief, and the next step was to arrange family affairs for the county lord, since the Yunnan Kingdom had been excluded, then it was his turn next.

After all, the other party is the county lord of Yan State, and his status is not small, which is enough to replace Yan State and Nanyue State to make friends.

But because of such a thing, it is also necessary to find a person who is the right person, and for Prince Duan in this matter, the most important one is his prince Gu Ye.

Although I thought that the other party was just a county lord, but he was also the county lord of Yan Country, such an opportunity was not often available, so it was natural to seize it, and at the same time, I also wanted to hint at King Yan to make Lin Shanshan's county lord become a princess, so that it would be better and more convenient to do things.

So in the evening, Prince Duan took the opportunity to have a private banquet for King Yan.

"I don't know what happened to Prince Duan's banquet?" King Yan asked.

"King Yan, you should know that because of the marriage of the county lord recently, we haven't had a good talk with each other, right? So this time, in addition to discussing the marriage of the county lord, I also talked about the old days by the way. Prince Duan personally arrived at the wine and said.

"Hmm... This is the most famous wine outside the Saiwai, what a lot of thought, Prince Duan. King Yan couldn't help but sigh after taking a sip.

King Yan looked at the abundance of a table, obviously this time it was not as simple as discussing marriage.

"King Yan laughed, what kind of identity does King Yan have, naturally he also needs good wine, right? In fact, this time, I want to discuss with King Yan about the candidate for the county lord's wedding, I don't know what King Yan wants? ”

"Prince Duan, you are joking at this, the lord of the county has only come to Nanyue not long ago, how can you mean that someone is not, I don't know Prince Duan's words, is it ..."

I saw Prince Duan laughing, "I really want to let the prince and the county lord get married, I don't know what King Yan wants?" ”

After King Yan heard this, his drinking hand suddenly stopped, and he seemed to understand something.

"Prince Duan, you know, she is just a county lord, is it worth letting her marry the crown prince?" King Yan said with a smile.

"This, if King Yan doesn't mind, the prince will naturally have no problem, but at least the two of them have to be in the same household, right? If the county lord becomes a princess, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? Prince Duan said with a smile.

At this time, King Yan understood what the other party meant, thinking of making the relationship between the two countries good through the family affairs of the people, in this way, the previous rumors in Nanyue would be self-defeating.

However, this is obviously different from what was said before, it seems that Prince Duan is also very afraid of Yunnan Kingdom, but now the strength of Yan Kingdom is not as good as that of Nanyue Kingdom, which is not like a conversation for himself, but just a notification.

"If Prince Duan doesn't mind, this king naturally has no objection." King Yan said with a wry smile.

Seeing that the marriage had been decided, Prince Duan's two immediately changed, and even poured wine for King Yan excitedly.

Two days later, I saw that in the main hall, the emperor suddenly announced the marriage of the lord of Yanguo and the prince Gu Ye, and it spread in the capital for a while.

"Have you heard? The emperor wants to marry the lord of Yanguo and the crown prince. ”

"No, it's only a few days since the marriage with the prince of Yunnan was canceled, it's really hard to react."

Listening to the people outside discussing this matter, Mo Xuanyin, who was wandering on the road, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, his goal had been achieved, and the next thing was to think about how to go back.
