Chapter 131: Dramatic Change
"Your Majesty Beichen, my Dongyu country lives next to you, and has also signed a peace treaty, seeing that this hundred-year peace treaty is about to expire, my father and the emperor sent me and the imperial brother here this time, just to think about the long-term peaceful marriage between the two countries." Baili Tong said loudly. There is no shyness of the youngest daughter's family at all.
"Isn't Princess Purple Kite in love with which of our sons in Beichen?" The emperor sat on the throne and said with a smile.
"This princess has taken a fancy to King Chen, King Chen is handsome and strong in martial arts, this princess likes it very much, it is better to let King Chen be our concubine of Dongyu Kingdom, this princess will definitely treat him well." Princess Purple Kite raised her voice.
This is said as if King Chen wants to compete with other men for favor, treat him well, is he trying to tell the world that Princess Chen is not good enough for King Chen?
Hearing this, Shangguan Tianyu frowned, this purple kite princess is clearly deliberate, yesterday she and Princess Chen in front of the post house, but many people are sideways, and the people in Yuncheng are talking about it, this envoy of Dongyu is very arrogant and domineering, and the Son of Heaven dares to blatantly bully the people of other people, if it is in an invisible place, I don't know how out of line it will do.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Tianyu stepped forward and stood in the center of the main hall and said: "Emperor Qiqi, when King Chen married Princess Chen, he said in front of the people of the whole city that only one wife of the princess in this life is enough, and King Chen's true feelings are praised by the people, and it is widely praised. ”
Shangguan Tianyu's words are very clever, if it is said that King Chen's reputation will be damaged if he marries, but the person who will damage his reputation is the emperor, if he only says that it is an obstacle to King Chen, then the emperor may really let the princess of Dongyu Kingdom marry King Chen, after all, King Chen is a thorn in his throat, but if it is an obstacle to the emperor's reputation, then he has to weigh it, what emperor in the world does not cherish his reputation, even if it is a notorious emperor, don't you want to sing praises to yourself?
Sure enough, Shangguan Tianyu's work was very effective, the emperor did not immediately agree to the request of the princess of Dongyu Kingdom, but just said that this matter should be considered carefully, after all, King Chen now has a wife, if the princess of Dongyu Kingdom is a side concubine, then the emperor of Dongyu Kingdom will definitely not agree, then if the lord of Qinghe County is demoted to a concubine, the eldest princess and the Duke of Dingguo, as well as the Medicine King Valley, will not agree, not to mention, now Princess Chen's business in Yuncheng is the main force of the treasury tax, if she is offended......
The emperor didn't dare to imagine what would happen next, the county lord of Qinghe was resolute not to offend, she was behind the forces of the Beichen Kingdom, and those forces still controlled most of the forces of the Beichen Kingdom.
Seeing that the emperor did not immediately agree to her, Princess Purple Kite urged: "Your Majesty the Emperor, are you unwilling to agree?" ”
"Don't worry, princess, this matter is a big matter, and I need to think about it."
"Your Majesty the Emperor, don't worry, you can think about it, this king knows that His Majesty the Emperor is worried that if Princess Chen is not properly placed, then I am afraid that it will attract criticism from the people, it is better to marry Princess Chen to this king as a concubine, so that it will not reduce the identity of Princess Chen, since the royal sister likes King Chen, then marry King Chen as a concubine, and this king does not want the royal sister to be a concubine."
When King Ling said this, it seemed that he had solved the emperor's urgent need, how could Shangguan Tianyu let such a person succeed? "Your Majesty, by all means, His Royal Highness King Ling's method is absolutely not feasible, since ancient times, women have been from the beginning, Princess Chen is Princess Chen, how can she be sent to marry someone else, besides, wouldn't King Ling mind that Princess Chen was married? How can it be good to Princess Chen? ”
"Hahaha, it turns out that King Dingnan is worried that Princess Chen will be wronged with this king, like King Dingnan takes care of Princess Chen, isn't King Dingnan also a minister under Princess Chen's skirt?"
"You, don't slander Princess Chen's reputation." Shangguan Tianyu said coldly.
"Hahaha, it seems that it was said by this king, and King Dingnan also has affection for Princess Chen, but I don't know, does His Royal Highness King Chen know about this matter?" After finishing speaking, King Ling's eyes looked at King Chen.
King Ling didn't really plan to marry Chu Lixue, even if that woman's appearance was overwhelming, which made him very tempted, but if he could use one woman to provoke the discord between the two generals of Beichen Kingdom, it would be a good thing, if it could be done, Zi Kite would not have to marry this King Chen aggrievedly.
I have to say that King Ling is a good calculation, just when the emperor hesitated, a eunuch outside the door hurriedly walked in, said a few words in the ear of the chief eunuch Gao Gonggong, and then withdrew.
"Quick, pass on Concubine Rou Niangniang into the palace." The Emperor said loudly.
Hearing this, the ministers were stunned, above this court, where is there a place for women to stand, not to mention the emperor's harem concubines, the ancestors are cloudy, and the concubines are not allowed to interfere in politics, is it okay for the emperor's favored woman? This is too much to take Zu Xun seriously.
Especially when the envoys of the Dongyu Kingdom are present, it is simply to show others a joke, and this emperor is really becoming more and more incompetent.
After a while, I saw Concubine Rou walking in in a pale green flower palace dress, only to see that the hem of her wide dress was rusted with purple patterns, and the three thousand green silk teased a little simply, and the rest hung down on the neck, with a small red gem hanging from her forehead, which was just right. There was a hollow flying phoenix golden step on his head, and with the lotus step moving lightly, there was a dingdong sound. It is lined with a unique style, beautiful and lovely.
Concubine Rou was already beautiful, and with the addition of this dress, it attracted a little more attention, and even King Ling couldn't help but take a few more looks.
"Concubine Rou, come and sit next to me." The Emperor smiled and beckoned.
God, the emperor's dragon chair has always been just his own seat, when can even the favorite concubine sit together? Even if they want to sit together, it can only be when the queen of the middle palace who is married from Zhengyangmen is worshiped by hundreds of officials.
The concubine Rou was not pretentious, walked to the emperor's dragon chair with a light smile, and knelt at the emperor's feet, so that the officials had no objections, and they just sat at their feet, and did not sit on the dragon chair, so is there anything to criticize?
"I didn't expect the emperor's concubine to be so stunning, it's really enviable, has the emperor thought about the king's proposal?" King Ling said with a smile.
Just when everyone thought that the emperor would agree to King Ling's request, things changed dramatically, "Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of proposal King Ling of Dongyu has to make Your Majesty so embarrassed, look, your brows are furrowed, and the concubine needs to take an iron to iron it for you." Concubine Rou said softly.
"His Royal Highness King Ling asked to marry Princess Chen, and the Purple Kite Duke mainly recruited King Chen as the concubine of the Dongyu Kingdom, isn't this to break up the husband and wife, such a thing, I am really embarrassed."
"What's so difficult about this, the concubine thinks it's very simple." Concubine Rou's eyes brightened. The eyes are pure like a child, such a beauty, how can people not like it.
"Oh? Does the concubine have a way? The emperor looked at Concubine Rou and smiled lightly.
"Yes, if the emperor doesn't agree, the relationship between King Chen and Princess Chen is so good, the emperor can't be a villain who breaks up other families, not to mention, King Chen is the god of war of Beichen Kingdom, if such a powerful figure is given to Dongyu Kingdom, won't it boost the prestige of Dongyu Kingdom? Besides, Princess Chen's beauty will make money again, and the current business is booming, if she also goes to Dongyu Kingdom, it will be generating revenue for Dongyu Kingdom, Your Majesty, we can't do such a thing of lifting a stone to shoot ourselves in the foot. ”
Concubine Rou's words entered the emperor's heart, and even more so into the hearts of civil and military officials, everyone was extremely disgusted with this new favorite Concubine Rou, but today's performance made people look at her impressively.
King Ling didn't expect a favorite concubine to say such a thing, not to mention, he had already inquired clearly, Concubine Rou was bullied by the queen when she was in the Empress Dowager's life, and she had turned to Princess Chen for help, but Princess Chen did not come to the rescue, it can be seen that there should be a gap between them, why did this Concubine Rou help Princess Chen speak? It's a bit confusing.
King Ling naturally didn't know what was going on, originally this Rou Concubine didn't plan to come to Wuying Palace, she was still angry about Chu Lixue's last time when she didn't help her, and now Chu Lixue is in trouble, she just happened to be happy to watch the play, but she didn't expect Chu Lixue to come uninvited and come into the palace to visit her.
Moreover, there was an agreement between the two of them, but these courtiers and the emperor did not know about it.
The appearance of Concubine Rou, King Chen was not very surprised, everyone knew that the emperor preferred this new concubine Rou who entered the palace, but she and Chu Lixue had never intersected, if there was any intersection, it was only on the day of the Empress Dowager's birthday, and the rest of the days, but never contacted, this Concubine Rou actually came to Yuncheng in the envoys of Dongyu Kingdom, or appeared in the court when the other party proposed to marry, it seems that the emperor is too favored, but she actually came on purpose.
No matter what, Concubine Rou's words completely broke the emperor's mind after all. In fact, the emperor may not know that King Ling's suggestion is not feasible, but King Chen's status and voice in the hearts of the people are very high, and Princess Chen is kind to the people.
Coupled with the previous floods in the south, King Chen's Mansion took the lead in sending the food and clothes in the house to the disaster area first, these things are nothing in the eyes of ordinary people, but for the people in the disaster area, it is a life-saving thing, and the status of their husband and wife in the hearts of the people has long surpassed that of him, the emperor, and he knows all this.
It's just that he doesn't do anything to King Chen, except that his voice is high, he doesn't dare, the most important thing is that the peace of this Beichen country depends on King Chen, if he has something, those who are good friends with him may not be able to protect Beichen's rivers and mountains anymore, then when the time comes, his rivers and mountains will not exist.
