In fact, on the third day when Princess Jin Yuan arrived in Jinyang Jing, she met with the Son of Heaven in Qianming Palace, in addition to the princess, of course, there were two deputy envoys of Western Liang - Xue Yaotai, the minister of Western Liang, and Han Yangjun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

The three alliances of the Western Liang political council is composed of ten nobles, all from the three surnames, but all the laws and decrees and military decrees need to be approved by the secretary of the council before they can be promulgated and implemented, the supreme governor called the decree, is elected by the nobles of the Western Liang, appointed by the monarch, responsible for supervising the secretary of the political council, throughout the history of the Western Liang, the decree most of the time to stay by the Hu and Qing patriarchs monopolized, since the current Xiliang king ascended the throne, iron-fisted governance, and after many years of conquest, the expansion of the territory of the Western Liang, the national prestige is greatly invigorated, It even posed a threat to the Western King of the Northern City, who was heavily damaged by the Dalong army during the time of Emperor Taizong, who was expelled from the royal city by the Northern King because of civil strife.

In order to gain a foothold in the west, the ambitious Xiliang was regarded as a great disaster, and the two countries were at war, because the Xiliang fought again and again, which inevitably caused financial deficiencies, although the Zhaokang clan suffered heavy losses, the combat strength still made the king of the Western Liang tremble, so he showed goodwill to Dalong, in order to form an alliance between the two countries to jointly resist the Zhaokang clan, mainly hoping that Dalong could provide support such as grain, silver, weapons, etc.

After the princess of Xiliang volunteered to be pro-Dalong, as the prince's side concubine, Wan's got Dalong's full help, not only won a big victory in the confrontation with the Beiyuan people, and firmly blocked the Zhaokang clan from the border, but also subdued many small southwestern countries to be subordinate to Xiliang, Wan's prestige increased greatly, in Xiliang, overwhelmed Hu, Qing Er's clan, and the position of the Shang's order was occupied by the Wan clan.

In addition to the decree of the three alliances, there is also a member of the decree, a member of the decree, which plays a role in containing the decree, of course, it is also a mutual restraint, compared with the decree, the authority of the decree is heavier, so the surnames of Hu and Qing have also gone through a series of vicious battles for the position of the decree, and now the Qing clan has won for the time being, and the patriarch Lanjiang Gong firmly holds the position of the decree, this time Han Yangjun, one of the deputy envoys who came to Dalong with Princess Jinyuan, is the brother of Lanjiang Gong, that is, the uncle of Yiyangjun.

This time, in order to seize the opportunity to send Dalong, Han Yangjun also went through a lot of twists and turns with the assistance of Lan Jianggong, and finally got his wish.

Of course, Lanjiang's public expense made every effort to let Han Yangjun accompany the envoy for the Qing family's plan to establish diplomatic relations with Dalong's ministers.

In addition to the envoys of Xiliang in the Qianming Palace, of course, there are also the courtiers of the Duke of Dalong, so Princess Jin Yuan expressed her sincerity to Dalong on behalf of the King of Xiliang, not only offered generous gifts, but also bluntly proposed to form an alliance with Dalong again Qin and Jin, many people present felt cold down their spines.

Among them, of course, there is Xiliang Han Yangjun, he was instructed by his brother, the main mission is to promote the Leyang female monarch to seduce the prince of Chu, and successfully stay in the Chu Palace, and strive for the most trusted clan of the Dalong Emperor to help the Qing clan seize power, because Yiyang Jun Qingyu's reincarnation mother is a queen clan, Lanjiang Gong was forced to marry as a successor, but he has always been jealous of Yiyangjun, and because of the continuous provocation of the eldest son Chunjiangjun, Lanjiang Gong and Yiyangjun are very estranged between the father and son, if it were not for the secret help of Princess Jinyuan back then, Yiyangjun could not even be sealed, He was sent to a remote place by Lan Jianggong a long time ago, and he was not qualified to enter the Three Leagues Political Council at all.

It is precisely because of such a reason that although Lanjiang covets the throne, if he is not forced to do so, he resolutely does not want to pursue the "step-in-law husband-in-law", and sees that Yiyangjun, who is not compatible with him, ascends the throne and becomes king, and will suppress his eldest son Chunjiangjun in the future.

One of the four female monarchs who accompanied the envoy this time, Ying Yang is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Lanjiang, this woman is very high-minded - only three nobles with three surnames in Xiliang can take concubines, but the status of concubines is very low, although the concubines born can be recognized by the family to register the genealogy, the three surnamed concubines can even enter the office compared to ordinary nobles, but the concubines can only be forbidden to walk in the courtyard pavilion in the past, and they are not even qualified to walk freely without the permission of the main mother.

Most of the concubines with the three surnames were born poor, or noble concubines, with humble status.

It is necessary to know that ordinary nobles can't even get rid of slavery, even if they get lucky, they are accepted as concubines by the nobles with three surnames, and there is a very ugly name on the top of their heads, called Se Offering.

The nobles with the three surnames took concubines and gave birth to children in order to prosper their children, but the daughters born of the three surnames would soon die, so the three surnames only had concubines and no concubines.

But the three surnamed concubines can't get rid of the "halo" of the son of the color offering, and the noble daughters of Xiliang are unwilling to marry.

Therefore, when the prince of Xiliang died unexpectedly, the king of Xiliang wanted to set up his concubine Qinghejun as the prince, and he would encounter many obstacles.

Yingyang Nujun grew up under the influence of such a "cultural atmosphere" as Xiliang, where is she willing to be a concubine, Lanjiang Gong naturally will not let the eldest daughter of Yuan Pei suffer such humiliation, but he is unwilling to send Yiyang Jun to the throne with his own hands, so he plans to use the second daughter "Heqin" born to the stepfamily to seduce the prince of Chu.

Before Yingyang Nujun went to Dalong this time, she decided to get married, and she would get married when she returned to China after completing her mission, and her fiancé was the nephew surnamed Xue who swore not to marry for life to continue the incense.

Of course, it was also the Duke of Lanjiang who watched Xue Guoxiang suffer heavily and wanted to make friends, hoping to get the full support of Xue Yaotai in the future and help his eldest son Chunjiang Gong ascend the throne.

However, Lanjiang Gong also knew that it was not so easy to seize the throne, if the female monarch of Leyang could not be seduced, he had to take a step back, first forced the king of Xiliang to follow the "daughter-in-law and husband succession", and promoted the marriage of the second son Yiyangjun and Jin Yuan, and was made the crown prince, first let the throne of Xiliang fall on the head of the Qing family, and then slowly plan to seize the throne.

Therefore, as soon as Han Yangjun heard Jin Yuan's proposal of "marriage", he naturally thought that King Xiliang's plan was to take advantage of the momentum of Dalong to avoid the "daughter-in-law's successor", of course, he would break out in a cold sweat.

In addition to him, many of the Dalong courtiers present also broke out in a cold sweat.

Especially when the saint did not refuse the invitation of "marriage", but smiled, saying that the Xiliang mission still had to be in Dalong for a while, but it could be carefully considered.

Most of the courtiers are not familiar with the fight between the three surnames of Xiliang, but they also know that the heir of the prince of Xiliang is thin, and there is only a single seedling of Princess Jinyuan at the moment, this time he is the chief envoy to promote diplomatic relations between the two countries, and he will never marry himself to Dalong, and the only marriageable prince is the third prince who is single and unmarried, this is very worthy of the holy heart, in addition to the princess of Xiliang, the three nobles are somewhat unworthy, in the final analysis, Hu and Qing are nobles again, and their power is limited to Xiliang, how much help can the nobles of the barbarian country bring to the prince of Hehe Dalong? The Holy Lord would never let the third prince marry a noble daughter of Xiliang who was completely useless.

Then the "marriage" is very likely to fall on the courtier's family, or the Dalong nobleman's sister-in-law marries the Xiliang noblewoman, as mentioned above, where is the Dalong nobleman willing to waste a son-in-law to marry a foreign noblewoman who is not helpful to the family, if you want to let the Dalong noblewoman marry Xiliang, no one present is naturally willing.

Hu and Qing are the nobles of the Western Liang Dynasty, and the saint will not allow the noble courtiers to let the concubines and relatives, but all the famous families attach great importance to the concubines, in order to conclude powerful in-laws, to bring benefits to the family, so they also have high hopes for the concubines, and have paid a lot of effort, and they are naturally closer to the concubines emotionally, putting aside the factors of power, let the concubines marry away from other countries and it will be difficult to see each other again in this life, and who will be willing?

Therefore, after Princess Jin Yuan met Emperor Dalong, the "habit" of the princess of a dignified country to have the pleasure of wandering around the brothel is no longer a topic that the nobles talk about, but all the families who have school-age children who have not yet married are worried, especially those noble women, who can't wait to start the marriage of their children. Most of the topics among the ladies became "Your family Shiro is also married?" "Oh, it's a pity, my Sanniang has already decided on a family affair" "I'm happy and happy, my family just exchanged Geng posts with Bofu." ”

Even the old princess felt the tension of the atmosphere, and pulled Yijing to discuss An Ran's marriage, Yijing naturally did not panic, but took the opportunity to mention Yin Yong, the old princess was not picky about the Yin family is a poor family, and was very excited to take a look in person.

In addition to the frequent spread of good news from the famous family of Dalong, the atmosphere inside the Xiliang mission also began to be tense.

On this day, Yingyang Nujun majestically blocked Leyang Nujun in the Xiyuan guest room of the State Guesthouse, and expressed great disdain and contempt for her half-sister: "I heard that you have often gone out with your second brother recently? Don't say I didn't remind you, this is not Xiliang in Dalong, the discipline of women is very strict, and it is to be criticized for showing up and riding through the market, even if you are the concubine of the prince of Chu in the future, not the concubine, in the end, it is the concubine of the clan, and you must be cautious in your words and deeds, otherwise you will be punished by someone with a handle, and you will be snubbed before you get favored, and the Qing family is far away in Xiliang, and you can't reach the whip, think about your situation at that time! ”

Seeing that Le Yang lowered his eyes and was silent, Ying Yang sneered again: "Your Majesty ordered the princess to convey the intention of marriage, which is nothing more than planning to let the second brother marry the noble daughter of Dalong, and lost the qualification to marry the princess. But if my Qing clan doesn't have Dalong's help, it won't be easy to take the throne, my father has high hopes for you, you have to wake me up, otherwise...... If you return in vain, do you really want to go back to Xiliang to marry the blind son of the Shangshu family of the military department? He was not able to see with his eyes, and his temperament was very violent. ”

Ying Yang waited for Leyang to kneel and beg as before, but after half a sound, Leyang was still sitting with his eyes down.

Ying Yang was stunned, thinking about his father's instructions, saying that at this juncture, let her not offend Le Yang, Le Yang is no better than Yi Yang, has always been obedient, and the key to whether or not he can seize the throne is to rely on Le Yang to win the favor of the prince and admonish him, let the prince of Chu stand on the side of the Qing family, and implore Emperor Dalong to help the Qing family.

Then he clenched his fists and tried his best to soften his tone: "I also know that in the eyes of my Xiliang daughter, the concubine is lowly, Leyang, you are a little unwilling, but do you think, didn't Princess Lanzhu also be a concubine back then?" This is in Dalong, and the status of the concubine is not the same as that of my Xiliang...... Your Majesty and the princess have a plan, but it is beneficial to us, Emperor Dalong has agreed to the marriage, if you are tempted, maybe you can get the emperor's marriage, even if you can't sit on an equal footing with the princess, she doesn't dare to snub you. ”

In short, after a combination of soft and hard, Ying Yang thought that he had shocked Leyang, and threw down a sentence with satisfaction: "At the Fanglin banquet in early April, I heard that the children of the powerful people of Dalong will be present, and the prince of Chu is a clan and a well-known talent, and he is a judge every year...... To get close to him, this is an opportunity. ”

Ying Yang left with his head held high as he came, and there was no doubt that Leyang would regret it, there were many maids who died in the hands of the son of Shangshu, I heard that many people were tortured in bed and died, that person is notoriously violent and ruthless, and there is no nobleman who is willing to marry with him after the age has passed, Leyang looks beautiful and moon-like, how can he marry such a Langjun? With her father's warning first, Leyang must not dare to have two thoughts, otherwise she will have endless suffering.

In comparison, the prince of Chu has excellent appearance, Dalong's noble concubine is not as humble as Xiliang, and Leyang is conceited and beautiful and scheming, maybe she is trying to confuse the prince of Chu to favor his concubine and destroy his wife in the future.

Thinking about it like this, Ying Yang felt more secure, but he was impatient with his uncle Han Yangjun's anxiety, and said with confidence: "With Leyang's scheming and beauty, he will definitely make the prince move, and besides, Da Long's concubines are very common, and nobles have no concubines is rare...... This plan was achieved, and the father was unwilling to let the second brother marry the princess, and sent the son of the Yue family to the throne of Xiliang. Even if the princess persuaded Emperor Dalong to marry the daughter of the courtier and kiss the Qing family, it has nothing to do with the overall situation, presumably the princess does not want the Qing family to get the daughter of a powerful minister as a daughter-in-law, which is insignificant to the choice of relatives, and it is not up to her father to marry the Qing family in the future. ”

Soon it was April, and the cold in Jinyangjing was finally relieved, ushering in the revival of all things.

This year, the Hong Lim Banquet was finally held as scheduled under the anticipation of everyone.
