Chapter 427: Marriage
Just when Situ Wuji was depressed and almost wanted to go crazy, Lin Yu and Lin Hai returned to the Lin Mansion leisurely. [No pop-up novel network]
On the way back to Lin's Mansion, Lin Yu also went to the convenience store on Dijin Street, found Xiao Guizi and Big Horn, chatted a few words with the two of them, and told them to find some people to spread the news that Situ Xiaofeng was bitten by a dog.
The two were surprised and amused, as if they had heard the biggest joke of the year, and immediately agreed. Anyway, it's not the first time they've done this, and they're familiar with it, so they'll go out to do it right away.
Within a few days, there was a wave of rumors in the imperial capital, and they also said that they had noses and eyes. In their rumors, Situ Xiaofeng has become a eunuch, and it is also said that His Majesty dismissed him from the official position of the head of the guard, just so that he could prepare as soon as possible and better take over Gonggong Cai's class and become the next chief eunuch.
After hearing the rumors in the imperial capital, Situ Wuji was already angry, feeling that he was being poked in the spine and pointed at every day when he went to work.
When he returned to his mansion, he learned that Situ Xiaoyu was going to find someone to clean up those rumors, Situ Wuji was even more furious, and directly dragged him back, and scolded him again, scolded him for a bloody head, and warned him not to make trouble in the near future.
Situ Wuji knew in his heart that most of this matter was spread by Lin Yu, just to let the people of the Situ family jump out by themselves, no matter who jumped out this time, it would be a catch. With Lin Yu's methods, he will definitely be able to cripple people casually!
Situ Xiaoyu was sprayed by his grandfather, and he had no arrogance, so he had to hide at home with his head down, helping to take care of Situ Xiaofeng's injury, and he didn't dare to say anything related to Situ Xiaofeng, and he didn't even dare to step out of the gate of Situ Mansion.
After a few more days, the rumors finally subsided, and the envoys of the Demon Empire came to the Great Xia Empire with dowry and guards at this time and asked to see Yu Shaoxi.
As two countries that have always been adjacent to each other across the river, Yu Shaoxi has actually paid attention to the Demon Empire for a long time. The national strength of this country has always been very prosperous, from the former barbarian land to the current prosperous place, just like the Great Xia Empire, it has become stronger step by step.
As the saying goes, how can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch, originally for the Demon Empire whose national strength is stronger than his own, Yu Shaoxi should be very vigilant. It's just that the Great Xia Empire is located in Middle-earth, and the west and north are often harassed by the Ximu Empire and the steppe tribes, so I don't have much energy to pay attention to this country that is separated by a big river and usually doesn't have much movement.
So this time the envoy came to Great Xia, Yu Shaoxi was quite surprised. However, seeing that the other party came with sincerity, he was quite respectful to himself, but he was not too nervous.
After the envoys' visit, it was repeatedly mentioned that the Great Xia Empire and the Ximu Empire had become allies and had repelled the attacks of the steppe tribes. In this case, the Demon Brake and Great Xia, which have equal national strength, should help each other, support each other, and develop in a more favorable direction together.
Yu Shaoxi agreed, and the envoy saw that the time was ripe, and smiled and proposed that the king of the Demon Empire, Oland Zamare, had a son, handsome and dashing Yushu in the wind, just a young man, and King Olland heard that His Majesty Yu Shaoxi had a daughter of the age of the flower season, Princess Hongsheng, and especially hoped that the two families could become in-laws and have a deeper close connection. Therefore, this time he specially sent himself to bring a rich dowry, and if His Majesty Yu Shaoxi agreed, he would let Prince Otuman Zalub set off for the Great Xia Empire to greet his relatives.
After the envoy opened his mouth to put forward the ultimate goal of this visit - "harmony", Yu Shaoxi did not agree at the first time, but fell into deep thought.
After all, he only has a daughter, Yu Ningshuang, who can be described as a pearl in his palm, and he is usually a treasure, not long ago, because Situ Grandpa offended Ningshuang, he punished them heavily. I heard that Situ Xiaofeng is still injured and is sick in bed!
Now if he agrees like this, it means that Ningshuang will marry to the far south, and I don't know when we will be able to meet again, Yu Shaoxi thought of this, and felt a little relieved.
But if you put aside the father-daughter relationship and only consider the political interests of this matter, Yu Shaoxi also knows that this is an excellent event for Great Xia.
The grassland tribes in the north of Great Xia are currently powerless, and can only hold on to a few barren territories to survive, while the Ximu Empire in the west is now also an ally of Great Xia, and has sent troops to station, plus Lin Yu's Western Domain, which is basically under the management of Great Xia.
Therefore, at this time, the strength of the Great Xia Empire is already much stronger than before, and it is about to stand shoulder to shoulder with the prosperous Demon Empire. If two countries with similar national strength do not have a stable alliance, sooner or later friction will arise and war will arise.
And the Demon Empire proposed at this time that it wanted to become an alliance with Great Xia, and it didn't cost anything, it only needed to marry a princess as an in-law, which was a great joy for Yu Shaoxi - and even for Great Xia.
After all, the weight of the Demon Empire and the Ximu Empire is not the same, if only one family matter can turn the two countries into allies who help each other, then the Great Xia Empire will have no worries in the future, and it will be able to develop steadily for a long time.
After weighing the pros and cons, Yu Shaoxi finally agreed to the request of the envoys to make peace between the two countries, and decided that the prince of the Demon Empire would personally come to the Great Xia Empire to pick up the relatives a month later, and marry the red-clothed princess in a beautiful manner.
After receiving Yu Shaoxi's affirmative reply, the envoy was very happy, and immediately sent someone back to inform King Oland Zamarie, and he himself stayed in the imperial capital with his followers, waiting for the prince to come and marry the princess in red clothes, and then go back together.
As for Yu Ningshuang, she was left in the palace by Yu Shaoxi and began to prepare a dowry. She was not happy to marry a fried radish prince who didn't know where she came from, but after a few long talks with Yu Shaoxi, she finally understood that there are many involuntary bodies in the royal family, and political marriage is a must-have. In desperation, I can only passively accept it, although I am still very reluctant in my heart, but I can only face reality.

After the morning court that day, as soon as Lin Yu returned to the mansion, his subordinates came to tell him that Liu Guangchong of Zijinyuan had been waiting for him in the living room for a morning, saying that he had something urgent to see him. Lin Yu nodded and walked towards the living room
