Chapter 358: Choosing a Son-in-law
This woman's name is Xing Ling, which can be said to be the pearl of the emperor's palm, well-behaved, smart and flexible since childhood, and ran out with some palace guards three years ago because of a moment of playfulness.
In the end, the emperor sent a master to intercept the princess in the Jiangnan generation, but the latter said that he was unwilling to return to the capital, and in desperation, the emperor had to make a retreat and let her take thirty masters to play around the country for three years.
It's just that three years have already arrived, and Xing Ling has already embarked on the journey back to the capital.
After the queen mentioned it like this today, the emperor said that Xing Ling had reached the age of being slim and in her prime, and it was time to consider finding a qualified family for her.
Immediately, the emperor sent someone to call Xing Tianze, no matter how the latter was also Xing Ling's imperial uncle, such a major event should still be talked about by him.
An hour later, just as the emperor and the empress were chatting, Xing Tianze, who was dressed in black, had already arrived.
After a quarter of an hour, the fifth prince's face became strange, and only then did he really notice that Xing Ling was really ready to marry.
However, the princess and the relatives should be the first choice to frame the strength of the Zhao Kingdom, and now the most suitable choice is nothing more than the Qingcang Kingdom and the Fuyang Kingdom, if the two countries can be resolved as in-laws, there will be no war disasters in a hundred years.
In addition, what is chosen is to be able to help Xing Zhao Kingdom continue to develop, then Chu Xiangguo is the best principled goal.
If you want to support the internal frame, you should choose the most powerful minister to pull in the relationship between the monarch and the minister, but Xing Zhaoguo is now able to cover the sky with one hand.
However, he is also the eldest uncle of the princess, so he is also the target of being eliminated, so the rest is the Marquis Yin Pingzhen of the Yin family, and the son of Situ Feng of the Situ family or the eldest son of the Xue family, all three of which are families with a pivotal position in the Xingzhao Kingdom.
As long as he can pull the family in at will, then he can best stabilize the power in the hands of the emperor, but in this way, Xing Tianze's power will definitely be hit the most severely.
"Lao Wu's analysis is very reasonable, but in your opinion, who should I marry the princess to?" The emperor just stared into the eyes of the fifth prince and asked.
Xing Tianze did not shy away from analyzing it again, the current situation is very, very clear, the strength of the Fuyang Kingdom has been seriously damaged after the war not long ago.
However, Nangong Yuan's defeat at the hands of Xing Tianze caused their country's strength to be further seriously traumatized, and it was impossible to start any war again within ten years, on the contrary, Xing Zhaoguo also won a major victory, and their strength became the most powerful under the elimination of each other.
Although Chu Xiang is extremely wealthy, now their monarch's fate hangs by a thread, and the eldest prince Chu Nian, the second prince Chu Chong, and the third prince Chu Shu all covet the throne.
Therefore, looking at the calm and wealthy Chu Xiangguo, it has actually become a dark tide surging and stormy, and now is not the time to consider winning them over.
Among many factors, if the princess gets married, she naturally doesn't have to think about the matter of marriage, so she should turn her head and look at the major events in the country.
The young master of the Xue family lives in a simple place on weekdays, and very few people have seen his face, and the old man Xue's body is quite tough, if their identity is improved again, it may be counterproductive.
Although Yin Pingzhen of the Yin family is young, he has accumulated a lot of military exploits and has been given the title of marquis, but the real power of the Yin family is too important, and there is no need for them to be promoted.
If there is a situation where the power is high and the lord is the master, then the Yin family will become a wild horse that is difficult to tame, which will have a significant impact on the entire Xingzhao Kingdom.
The Situ family is the leader of the entire imperial clan, although the number of people in the entire family who are officials in the court is not large, but Situ Lei's reputation in the world is not boastful.
If Situ Mansion is allowed to further grasp the royal family of Xingzhao Kingdom, then in the future, once there are people with wolf ambitions, they only need to ascend to the heights and shout, and they will definitely win.
Therefore, three of the four major families in the capital cannot be considered later, as for the He family, there is no young master and only one young lady, and there has been no reason for women to marry women since ancient times.
Xing Tianze had already seen the four major families in the capital completely erased in a few words, leaving no chance for the emperor to take advantage of either internally or externally.
"The fifth prince is really discerning, if it is really as you said, wouldn't the daughter of this palace be unable to marry?" The queen looked at Xing Tianze's gaze, which had already begun to become unkind.
Although the fifth prince did not say it explicitly, his words had closed all the opportunities for the emperor's power to go further, and completely protected his own strength.
"If the queen has any different opinions, but please advise, this king will listen to you!" Xing Tianze is not afraid of the identity of the queen, in the entire Xingzhao Kingdom, he only needs to maintain a certain etiquette to the emperor.
The emperor waved his hand lightly to stop the quarrel, frowning slightly, of course he knew Xing Tianze's intentions, the reason why he didn't refute it was because what the fifth prince said, although it was not true, but it was indeed true.
The power of the four major families is high enough now, and there is indeed no reason to let them go further, otherwise there will be another force with good strength that can threaten the imperial power.
Qingcang Kingdom and Xingzhao Kingdom have always been at odds, especially in the past two years, wars have broken out frequently between the two sides, although the temporary peaceful development, but if they become in-laws, it will definitely make other vassal states laugh and be generous.
There is no outstanding prince under the knees of the monarch of Fuyang, although Lin Yan can be called a leader among the younger generation, but he has not yet reached the point where he can wrestle with Xing Tianze, if he is regarded as a candidate for Xing Ling's son-in-law, then he must be polished for a period of time, Chu Xiangguo naturally does not need to say anything, he is simply put in the eyes of the emperor.
In addition, the only people that the emperor can win over in the Xingzhao Kingdom are the Gongsun family in Jiangnan and the Xue family in the capital.
The thing that worries the emperor the most is that there is only one princess, and no matter which one she marries, it is difficult to make the other family dissatisfied.
If this is the case, the strength in the hands of the emperor will suffer a major loss, and no matter which family he loses, the support will not outweigh the loss for his emperor.
"Since the fifth child knows what is wrong, then I will leave the matter of choosing a horse for the princess to you, and I hope you can handle the proper choice well, so as not to let me have any disappointment." The emperor slowly drank the tea in the cup, and handed the hot potato to Xing Tianze in a few words.
