Chapter 126: The Three Imperial Concubines
"No, I can't. Zhang Jingzhe almost reflexively opened his mouth to object, with a non-negotiable tone and attitude, "The king of a dignified country forcibly married the national teacher of Nancheng State, wouldn't this make people all over the world laugh at it." ”
"Forced marriage? Of course not, I will write a letter to Wang Chengchen, asking him to send some dowry by the way, so that their national teacher can marry to Beiyu in a beautiful manner, and exchange a national teacher for the peace of Nancheng for decades, this deal is very cost-effective for them. Ji Xuanyan said with his own calculations, ignoring his son's rather fierce reaction.
"Father, the son still thinks it's inappropriate. Ji Jingzhe's face was serious, although he knew that what his father said was not unreasonable, but such a result was unacceptable to him.
Moreover, with his understanding of Wei Xiwan, how could her character give in easily?
"What's wrong?" Ji Xuanyan raised his eyes to look at Ji Jingzhe again, and continued with an intriguing smile on his lips, "Do you want to marry her?"
"Erchen ...... what?" Ji Jingzhe raised his head in amazement, and met his father's eyes with a smile, only then did he dare to confirm that he had indeed heard correctly, it turned out that it was not his father who wanted to marry Wei Xi late, but to let him marry.
"You don't want to marry her?" Seeing his son's somewhat stunned appearance, Ji Xuanyan slowly repeated again, "If you don't want to, I can ...... her"
"Erchen is willing. Before Ji Xuanyan finished speaking, Ji Jingzhe quickly interrupted, of course he was willing, but Wei Xiwan was not necessarily willing, but in Beiyu Kingdom, only after she married him, he could justifiably try his best to protect her.
"Since you are willing, then without further ado, let the Ministry of Rites choose an auspicious day for the wedding, and I will write a letter to Nancheng. Ji Xuanyan raised his head and laughed, although everything was not as he originally expected, it was late to eradicate Wei Xi in Nancheng Kingdom, but now the result seems to be much better than he originally thought.
As far as he knows, the world-famous Rong Jian's retreat from the battle between Xiyue and Nancheng on the border, as well as the chaotic battle of the Xiyue court, Wei Xiwan played a key leading role in it, such a woman, it is a pity to kill.
It can be used for use, is the best result, if Wei Xi becomes the third princess of Beiyu and is loyal to the country of Beiyu, wouldn't it be happy?
"Can my father care about the wishes of the Wei Guoshi?" Seeing that his father had already asked people to prepare paper, ink, pen and inkstone to write a letter, Ji Jingzhe couldn't help but ask more after all, he knew that Wei Xiwan had no intention of him, and he was unwilling to force it.
As a teacher of a country, when her marriage and the country are linked, she will be able to distinguish which is more important. Ji Xuanyan spoke lightly and ruthlessly, now Wei Xiwan is already a caged bird, and no matter how much he wants to fly to the sky, he has to ask him if Ji Xuanyan is willing to open the cage and let her out.
Besides, in today's situation, there is nothing for her to choose, life and death are still in his thoughts, let alone a political marriage.
Choosing to marry Ji Jingzhe obediently can not only save his life, but also have a lifetime of glory, wealth and noble status, and can protect the peace of Nancheng Kingdom for decades, the pros and cons of this transaction are so obvious, since Wei Xiwan is a smart person, how could he choose the wrong one.
The early spring has arrived, and the drizzle that moistens the earth has been falling densely for several days, and everything has awakened, and a thousand grasses have broken through the soil, and a hundred branches have sprouted.
The exact news that Wei Xiwan was under house arrest in the palace of Beiyu Kingdom spread to the capital of Nancheng with the fragrance of flowers in this drizzle.
"Your Majesty, Tao Shaoqing asks to see you. ”
"Let her in. Wang Chengchen said in a deep voice, he naturally knew what Tao Duyu was doing here.
Last night, he sent the shadow guard to protect Wei Xiwan, and entered the palace overnight to pass back the news that the national teacher was arrested, Tao Duyu, as Wei Xiwan's best friend, is also the young master of the sect Jianzhuang, I believe that the speed of getting this news will not be much slower than him, and sure enough, she is here today.
"See Your Majesty. Tao Duyu strode in, his steps were hurried, and his expression was a little nervous, but he still did not forget to salute respectfully, and the distinction between monarchs and ministers in front of Wang Chengchen was obviously completely different from Wei Xiwan's attitude and behavior that Wei Xiwan deliberately ignored.
"No courtesy. Wang Chengchen motioned for Tao Duyu to get up, and then spoke directly without the slightest greeting or courtesy, "Are you planning to go to Beiyu Capital to rescue her in person?" ”
"Why?" Tao Duyu was stunned, she was rejected before she could speak. And Wang Chengchen knew the news of Wei Xiwan before her, and even guessed her thoughts, which also surprised her a little.
"Shaoqing of Dali Temple is not allowed to leave the capital at will, and besides, you can't save it. Wang Chengchen's cold words were like a basin of cold water pouring down.
"What should I do then?" Tao Duyu was not an irrational person, knowing that what Wang Chengchen said was not wrong, but he still couldn't help asking.
Indeed, in terms of public affairs, she can't leave the capital, and in private terms, she doesn't have that ability, although she has Lizong Jianzhuang behind her, but Lizong Jianzhuang has always been a famous and decent style, and she is really not good at robbing prisons, not to mention that she has to break into the legendary impregnable Beiyu Palace, how can a person from the Jianghu sect be able to defeat a well-trained palace guard.
"Leave it to me. Wang Chengchen was silent for a long time before he spoke, and the seemingly plain three words revealed a resoluteness.
He has never hesitated for a minute or a second to save Wei Xi, but at present, he doesn't know anything about the situation in the Beiyu Palace, and just getting such a news makes it really difficult for him to start for a while.
"Xiao Ren, summon the Shadow Guard. Wang Chengchen's voice fell, and Xiao Ren, who appeared ghostly behind Tao Duyu, nodded and accepted the order, and then disappeared from the room at a very fast speed.
Even though this is not the first time Tao Duyu has seen Xiao Ren appear, she is still taken aback by such skills, there are not many people in this world who can hide her breath under her nose and act quietly.
"There are snakes in the north, shadows in the south. A sentence she had heard suddenly jumped into her mind, the snake cultivated by Ji Xuanyan of the Northern Yu Kingdom, the shadow guard of Chengchen, the king of Nancheng, the two organizations directly under the emperor had never had a head-on battle or confrontation, but their reputation in this world was the same.
Almost all of Wang Chengchen's sources of information were obtained directly through the Shadow Guard, and now this Nancheng River and Mountain was tightly held in his hands, and the Shadow Guard's contribution in it was greater than that of any important minister in the court, and Ji Xuanyan's snake was also the same.
Which of these two dark claws is sharper and has deeper claws, I am afraid that I will see it in front of the world when I save Wei Xi.
"If it is useful to get the time to leave the sect sword village, Your Majesty, please command. Tao Duyu said that although her departure from the Zong Sword Village could not penetrate into the Beiyu Palace, if Wei Xiwan took a step out of the palace, it would be indispensable for her to leave the Zong Sword Village.
