Chapter 113: The Minister Seconded
Yuehua was even more shocked, and first glanced at Mo Guhan in a panic!
Mo Gu Han suddenly narrowed his narrow eyes, and instantly burst out with a frightening cold gaze, staring at Li Teng'er, as if to explore the deepest hidden intention in her heart. The momentum on his body was too strong, and the kind of domineering that only belonged to the king made Li Teng'er unable to look directly at all, gritted his teeth and straightened his spine, and his wrist was already trembling involuntarily.
"Is it possible that the princess wants to marry my queen of Chang'an?"
Mo Guhan asked this sentence in a joking tone, but no one in the palace thought it was a joke, and they all looked solemn.
Fine beads of sweat were already pouring out of Li Teng'er's head, and her voice began to tremble slightly, without the ease of laughing at the right time.
"Teng'er admires the talent of the queen, so she wants to marry the queen to be my princess of Xiliang."
Mo Guhan's body was even more cold, and he accumulated heavy anger: "Princess Teng'er knows her current identity, isn't it child's play?" β
Li Teng'er nodded categorically: "A gentleman is hard to chase after a horse, and he is definitely worthy of Xiliang's home!" β
Mo Guhan turned his face and pointed at Yuehua beside him: "Does the princess know, what is her identity?" β
Li Teng'er nodded firmly: "Empress of your country." β
Mo Guhan was instantly furious, and he took the case: "Since the princess knows that she is my queen, she actually said such a ridiculous thing, don't you think that she is despising my Chang'an Dynasty?" Don't even take me seriously? Or do you want to use this to provoke trouble and start another war? With just your words, I can wave my army to the north and set foot on the west. β
Li Teng'er blinked ignorantly, smiled, and then said seriously: "The eldest sister-in-law marries, the imperial concubine and relatives, this is a common thing in our Xiliang, and there are examples to follow in ancient times." Teng'er didn't think that this was disrespectful to the emperor. The two cities are just the dowry that the queen mother is willing to marry Xiliang. Xu Teng'er is abrupt, if the emperor is unwilling, Teng'er will immediately sign the contract sincerely, and there is no other word. β
"Sincerity? I don't feel your sincerity at all! On the contrary, you Li Teng'er have been provocative! I am not willing to accept your surrender, and we will discuss peace another day. β
Mo Guhan flicked his sleeves and was furious: "The two countries intersect, don't cut the envoy, not to mention that you are just a woman, I forgive you for your ridiculous youth, and I will limit you to get out of my Chang'an within one day." β
"Your Majesty!"
Among the ministers, someone finally couldn't hold it back, took two steps forward, and knelt down in the middle of the main hall: "Your Majesty, the minister has a play!" β
Mo Guhan slowly turned his gaze and looked at the minister condescendingly: "Play!" β
The minister pondered for a moment, as if he was trying to find the right wording, then raised his head, lowered his eyelids, and began to talk eloquently: "The marriage of the two countries and the eternal marriage of Qin and Jin have been established since ancient times, and it has become a good story for the ages. Lao Chen believes that if the queen is willing to deign to marry Xiliang, she can exchange Chang'an for long-term peace and stability, and the prosperity of the two cities, which is not impossible. β
After saying that, the minister was silent for a moment, waiting for Mo Guhan's reaction. Mo Guhan's eyes tightened, and he pursed his lips and was silent.
Another person observed the words and looks, thinking that Mo Guhan was hesitating left and right, and could not make up his mind, so he echoed the admonition: "If you don't move the imperial court, you don't need to spend a huge amount of war money, Xiliang is willing to enter the city, and the peaceful coexistence of the two countries is for the sake of the monstrous merit, and the minister believes that the queen mother will be high and bright for the sake of my people in Chang'an, and she will not hesitate to sacrifice herself for others." β
"Yes, this is a merit for the ages, and I believe that the queen will definitely not be able to ask for it in her heart."
"The minister also seconded the proposal."
"The minister seconded the proposal."
......
More and more ministers stepped forward to Chen Yu, counting the benefits of being pro-Xiliang, and Shengsheng put Yuehua at the highest point of the interests of the family and country, as if she dared to shake her head and say half a "no", she would be a rebel and a thief, and she would be a traitor.
Mo Guhan turned his head to look at Yuehua: "What does the queen think of this?" β
Yuehua's heart began to sink, as if falling from the clouds, the cold wind howled, fluttering and shaking, never able to land, and kept hanging in mid-air.
Mo Guhan's understated question made all the hopes she hung on him empty, and she couldn't help but start thinking crankily because of his resolute indignation.
She Chu Yuehua was originally his last resort, forced by the Empress Dowager to marry her, forced by the forces of the Chang family to accept her, because of Chu Mubai's merits and close to her, she was his shame, and he couldn't wait to get rid of the burden.
It's just that he can't find an excuse to abolish it all along, and he has to face her in pairs when he sees her annoyed.
Today, Xiliang would exchange two cities for her Chu Yuehua, which is a shame for the king of a country, if he should go down, it will be a shame, and it will make people laugh when it is spread. But the temptation of the two cities is a pity to abandon it.
The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and it was impossible to ask for it. A woman is insignificant to the country, and the only thing left to worry about is the face of the king.
Li Teng'er calculated correctly, the pedantic ministers of Chang'an would advise one after another, so they would say such disrespectful words so boldly.
Mo Guhan threw this problem to himself, no, it's not a problem, because the answer is already coming out, it's just that he wants to let himself speak, take the initiative to respond, and achieve his reputation as Mo Guhan, right?
Yuehua turned her head to look at Mo Guhan, her eyes were still like water and Yuehua, but it was cold in the cold winter, covered with a layer of white frost, less gentle in the summer night, no clear in the autumn night, and more miserable white color.
"The concubine never knew that she still had such a value."
The corners of her lips twitched, trying to make herself look like she was laughing at herself, or teasing, to make herself seem relaxed.
"My woman, naturally, is the best in the world, what are two cities?" Mo Guhan also had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which seemed to be ridiculing, and it seemed to be serious.
Li Teng'er kept tilting her head to watch the dark tide surging between the two, smiling like a flower.
Chu Mubai, who had been hanging his head and didn't dare to say more, couldn't bear it anymore, raised his face, and was about to step forward to refute it, but was stopped by a panicked look from Yuehua.
Layers of smiles faintly appeared on Mo Guhan's face, slowly rippling, but it was getting colder and colder, and there was a sound of cold ice colliding and shattering.
His gaze slowly swept over His Royal Highness Chang Zhiyi, and he seemed to ask casually: "Chang Aiqing is the elder of the queen, why do you think it is?" β
Chang Zhiyi was named and bowed and said: "If the queen mother can exchange a hundred years of peace for Chang'an and expand the territory, it will be the queen mother's thousand-year-old merit, the people are fortunate, and it is also the glory of my Chang family." β
Mo Guhan seemed a little surprised: "Does Chang Aiqing also think it's feasible?" β
Chang Zhiyi's head: "If you fight again, it means that there will be countless soldiers and horses wrapped in corpses, and their wives will be separated. β
Mo Guhan glanced at Yuehua meaningfully, Yuehua's face was calm and waveless, but in his heart, it was like eating Coptis chinensis, bitter and astringent.
Although the Chang family is not close to her, Chu Mubai's foothold is unstable, the Chang family is her only reliance in the court, and she is a pawn used by the Chang family to stabilize power. Today, many ministers seconded the proposal, including many protΓ©gΓ©s of the Chang family, Yuehua was vaguely aware of the situation, and now Chang Zhiyi's words mean that the Chang family has given up on her?
recommended Chu Mubai by himself, and disobeyed the arrangement of the Empress Dowager, which really annoyed the Chang family.
Mo Guhan's gaze slowly slid by, and he asked Shao Ziqing, who was standing with his head down, "What does Shao Xiang think?" β
Shao Ziqing shook his head: "Your Majesty has no opinion. β
"No?"
"The minister thinks that this is the emperor's family matter, and it is inconvenient for the minister to discuss it."
"Oh?" Mo Guhan stared at him with interest: "Let's hear it." β
Shao Ziqing cleared his throat and said word by word: "The two countries are harmonious, there are indeed examples to follow, especially in the Han Dynasty, in order to maintain peaceful coexistence with the Xiongnu and not suffer from war, the Han Emperor has successively sent twelve princesses and relatives, among which the two princesses have made outstanding contributions to the peace of the two countries. Later, the Sixteen Kingdoms, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and even the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the princesses were countless.
However, the queen and her relatives are unprecedented, only in 33 BC, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty sent the Ming concubine Wang Zhaojun out of the fortress and married the Hun Hu Han Evil Shan Yu. Most of these are forced by the current situation, and there is nothing to be done, so they have risen to the government.
And now my Chang'an Dynasty is rich and strong, and the Wan Dynasty has come to congratulate, and he has made peace with my Chang'an. Whether the queen mother marries or not is not a last resort, so the queen can decide for herself. And the queen is the emperor's wife, whether it is allowed or not, it is also the emperor's own will. Therefore, the minister thinks that this is a family matter of the emperor, and we don't need to participate in it. β
Mo Guhan nodded, turned his head again, and looked at Yuehua inexplicably: "Shao Xiang's words are reasonable, everything still depends on the queen's meaning." β
Yuehua lowered her eyelids gloomily, and her thick eyelashes flashed, covering the cold sarcasm in her eyes: "If the emperor feels the need, the concubine will not hesitate to go to the soup." β
Mo Guhan suddenly laughed loudly, like a waterfall pouring down, and broken Qiong splashed: "I know the queen's righteousness, and I will definitely do my best for the country and the people." β
Yuehua shook her head slowly, with a wry smile on the corner of her lips: "Yuehua is not as high and bright as the emperor said, and she doesn't want to be passed down through the ages, praised by all the people, and the concubine is just trying to share the emperor's worries." β
Mo Gu was stunned, and two clusters of flames suddenly appeared in his eyes, jumping, with a blazing temperature.
