"I can't care so much, I just want her to die now!" Tang Wanyun took a step forward, pressed the dragon book case with both hands, and leaned forward. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Tang Ling shook her head helplessly, as the so-called self-care is chaos, her cousin, who is so shrewd on weekdays, is confused when it comes to her own private affairs.
She shook her head and said, "Imperial sister, let's stop here, I am also thinking about the future happiness of the imperial sister by doing this." ”
Tang Wanyun was about to speak, but Tang Ling waved his hand and continued: "What I said just now is from the perspective of personal feelings, from the perspective of government affairs, Gu Qingling cannot die, and the people of the Gu family cannot die. Cai Xiao has always been eyeing the Gu family's business, and once the Gu family's people die, then the cloth business in the Wind Country will soon be controlled by the Cai family. The Cai family's power is already big enough, I will never tolerate it to continue to grow bigger, I say this, the imperial sister may understand?"
When Tang Ling called Tang Wanyun the imperial sister instead of her cousin, it meant that she was not talking to her in a private capacity, but talking to her as a celestial maiden as the Emperor of the Great Wind.
Tang Wanyun sighed secretly, couldn't her lifelong happiness be as good as a little government affairs in this mere area?
Seeing her with her head down, her brows tightly locked, and her face uncertain, Tang Ling smiled indifferently and said with relief: "Cousin, it is very common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, this is a very common thing, you can't stop it, even if you can stop it for a while, you can't stop him for a ......lifetime."
Before she finished speaking, Tang Wanyun suddenly interrupted: "What if it's Your Majesty?"
"What?" "If your majesty's future husband wants to find three wives and four concubines in the future, will your majesty agree?"
When she asked this question, the maids inside and outside the imperial study were scared into a cold sweat, and several little palace maids trembled with their legs, and they were about to kneel on the ground.
The smile on Tang Ling's face disappeared, his eyes stared straight at Tang Wanyun, he didn't speak for a long time, and the atmosphere in the imperial study was so depressed that it was suffocating.
I don't know how long it took, Tang Ling burst out laughing, and said slowly: "If my man wants to find three wives and four concubines, then I will find a lot of men to accompany me." ”
Tang Wanyun glanced at her deeply, didn't say anything more, took two steps back, and arched her hand and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen retreats." ”
"I don't send it. ”
This time, Tang Ling and Tang Wanyun broke up unhappily. Tang Ling was indeed very angry about Tang Wanyun's rhetorical question, but she didn't take it too seriously, she was the king of a country, how could her future husband dare to find three wives and four concubines?
But soon, the question raised by Tang Wanyun because she was in a hurry was really placed in front of Tang Ling.
Ningnan and the country of wind are now only a truce, not a truce, during this time, Ningnan is still constantly gathering heavy troops, hoarding to the border of the two countries, at present, Ningnan has hoarded 500,000 troops at the border of the two countries, depending on the situation, it is possible to cross the border between the two countries at any time and attack the territory of the country again.
However, this time, Ning Nan did not use troops again, but used a more insidious and far-reaching strategy to propose marriage. Huaide, the eldest grandson of Ningnan's Son of Heaven, proposed to Tang Ling, the celestial daughter of the Wind Country.
The envoy sent by Ningnan to Shangjing made it very clear that the hatred between the two countries was so deep that it could not be resolved and could only be resolved through war, and the only way to avoid war was to make peace between the two countries, between the Son of Heaven and the Lady of Heaven.
In this way, the two countries are one family, and no matter how deep the hatred between them is, it will no longer be hatred, and no matter how deep the contradictions and mustards are, they will no longer be contradictions and mustards.
Moreover, the eldest grandson Huaide also promised that as long as Tang Ling was willing to accept this marriage, he could immediately abolish the queen of the Haotian Empire, and canonize Tang Ling as the new queen, and also canonize Tang Ling as the goddess of the Haotian Empire.
Ningnan threw out such a move, which caused an uproar in the court of the Wind Country.
The marriage of the emperors of the two countries is equivalent to the union of the two countries through a marriage without war. Although the eldest grandson Huaide said it nicely, in the future, the two emperors will rule together, can he really do what he says? And what about after that, after the eldest grandson Huaide and Tang Ling both collapse into the sky, who will inherit this great empire that has become one? The heirs of the two of them will only revert to the surname of the eldest grandson, and those who will continue to be on the throne in the future must also be members of his eldest grandson's family.
But if you don't accept this marriage, the wind country will face a new round of war.
The central army of the Wind Country has been defeated, and the only legions that can still be used now are the First Army and the Tenth Army Corps, which cannot compete with the Ningnan Army with the current military strength of the Wind Country.
The Ningnan Imperial Court threw out this marriage and threw it to the Wind Country, and its intention was also extremely far-reaching.
If Tang Ling accepts it, it will naturally be a great joy for Ningnan, and the future Wind Country will be Ningnan's bag, if Tang Ling does not accept it, there will inevitably be strong disagreements within the Wind Country.
Many lords and factions who are unwilling to fight anymore will definitely join forces to put pressure on Tang Ling and force her to accept Ningnan's conditions, even if Tang Ling can suppress them, there will be two major factions within the Wind Country, causing discord within the Wind Country.
As the saying goes, if you are combined, you will be divided, and if you are divided, you will be broken. Once there is discord within the Wind Country, then when Ningnan launches a war, the Wind Country will be even more unable to resist it.
Therefore, whether Tang Ling accepts it or not, it is very beneficial to Ningnan, and this is also a good move that the Ningnan Imperial Court painstakingly planned.
It was almost exactly the same as what Ning Nan thought about, and after hearing that Ning Nan proposed to replace the war with peace between the two countries, the civil officials led by Cai Xiao, the Minister of the First Auxiliary Minister, Qiu Yi, the Minister of Internal History, and Song Sheng, basically agreed.
In fact, it is also very easy to understand, Cai Xiao, Qiu Yi and Song Sheng represent the interests of their respective families, the business of the Cai family, the Qiu family, the Song family, the business of the Song family is all over the wind country, a large-scale war broke out, the first thing that was damaged was their family business, if they could not have to fight, the wind country and Ningnan smoothly merged into one, they could not only protect the interests of the family, but also take the opportunity to extend the family business to Ningnan and earn more benefits, why not, of course they support the two countries and relatives, as for a hundred years later, whether the wind country can continue to exist, they don't care about it, as long as their own family interests can last for a long time。
Corresponding to the ministers of the Wind Country, most of the military generals of the Wind Country strongly opposed the peace between the two countries.
The main peace faction and the main battle faction were above the court, and Tang Ling, who was sitting on the dragon chair, couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Listening to the remarks of the main battle faction that they were determined to fight the national war, Cai Xiao laughed loudly in the court hall and asked: "Fight, what are we going to fight with others? Now not only Ningnan is hoarding heavy troops at the border, but Besa is also hoarding heavy troops at the border, and when we start a war with Ningnan, the Besa people will inevitably take advantage of the weakness to enter, and when that time comes, what will we use to resist the Besa army? Gale will be destroyed!"
"Your Majesty and the eldest grandson Huaide are married, won't my Feng Guo die? In the future, the Feng Kingdom will no longer have the surname Tang, but will change the surname to the eldest grandson!" Nie Wei, the former general, shouted sharply.
"In the future, you can leave it for later, the top priority, we should first ensure that the Wind Country does not die!" As he spoke, Cai Xiao looked at Tang Ling and said: "Your Majesty, accepting Ning Nan's proposal is the only way out for the Wind Country at present, there is no other choice, and please take the overall situation as the priority, and the future generations of the Wind Country as the priority." ”
"Your Majesty must not listen to slander, if Your Majesty marries your eldest grandson Huaide, it is equivalent to giving up my windy thousands of miles of rivers and mountains to Ningnan, please think twice!"
Everyone said a word, I said a word, each said their own reason, Tang Ling was undecided, not knowing what to do. As the Emperor of Gale, if she can save the Wind Country by making a sacrifice, she will do whatever kind of sacrifice, even if she marries someone she doesn't like. But the question is, what should I do after that? After I and my eldest grandson Huaide get married, can the Wind Country really be able to sit back and relax for thousands of generations?
"The two countries are at war, the people are displaced, and the corpses are everywhere, if the Besa people also come in, I don't know how many dead and injured my Feng people will be, at that time, the blood will flow like a river, and the corpses will be piled up like a mountain, who can clean up this situation!" Speaking of this, Cai Xiao burst into tears, poofed, knelt on the ground at Tang Ling, and kowtowed forward: "Please also ask Your Majesty to focus on the overall situation, for my Feng people, leave blood!"
Tang Ling bit his lip tightly and didn't say a word.
"Your Majesty!" Qiu Yi, Song Sheng and other ministers also knelt on the ground in unison, and said in unison: "Please Your Majesty put the overall situation first!"
Tang Ling slowly raised her hand, pointed to the ministers who knelt down in the hall, and held it for a long time, and finally she just waved the sleeves of her robe and said in a deep voice: "Retreat from the dynasty! After speaking, Tang Ling stood up and strode towards the back of the hall.
Back in the imperial study, Tang Ling drank back the palace maids on the left and right, closed the door, and cried silently in the house. She knows what kind of tricks the people of Ningnan are using, and the most infuriating thing is that there are still so many ministers in the court who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they don't care about the life or death of the Wind Country at all, and only think about their own interests. Privately, there may be how many ministers have colluded with Ningnan, and even received some promises from the Ningnan court.
She is just a woman, she is alone, she can't do anything at all, in the current situation of the country of Feng, if she wants to get through the sadness, she needs the whole country to unite with her and share the same hatred, but now, it is not the case at all, the ministers of the DPRK and China are seeking their own interests, outside the court, rebellions are everywhere, how can she drag such a mess full of holes to fight against the Ningnan people and the Besa people?
As an emperor, Tang Ling was facing a pressure that others could not imagine.
As the saying goes, there are gains and losses. Now that you have the supreme power, you must have the ability to withstand great pressure. At Tang Ling's age, her ability to resist pressure can already be called strong.
