Volume 2 Kyoto Storm Chapter 431 The Reason for the Marriage

"Your Highness, slow down, my bones are about to fall apart!"

Du Zhi wasted a lot of effort to catch up with Huang Zhang.

He also wondered, why could this eldest prince be so able to go? It's only been a while, and everyone is about to leave Honglu Temple.

However, Huang Zhang did not stop at all because of Du Zhi's persuasion.

"Laughing to death, I dreamed of breaking the marriage contract, and now that the other party's mission has given him this opportunity, if he doesn't grasp it, wouldn't it be a waste of a great opportunity?"

"Your Highness, how about you listen to the official's words and leave after listening?" Du Zhi saw that he couldn't catch up, and he didn't bother to chase anymore, so he stopped and shouted.

Originally, Huang Zhang was not going to deal with him, but after thinking about it, when the time came to divide the pot, he still needed this big Honglu to help testify, but he couldn't be too offended!

So Huang Zhang stopped, he wanted to hear what Du Zhi could say!

Seeing Huang Zhang stop, Du Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the eldest prince is willing to listen, he will be relieved, what he is afraid of is that the eldest prince will go his own way and not give him a chance at all, and then there will be a big trouble!

"Is His Royal Highness the Great Prince angry because of what Envoy Kui said just now?"

When Huang Zhang heard this, he turned around and looked at him impatiently.

The meaning of that expression was obvious, if Du Zhi said such nonsense again, he would definitely turn around and leave.

"Does the eldest prince know, why did His Majesty agree to the marriage between His Royal Highness and the princess of Kui Kingdom this time?"

Hearing Du Zhi say this, Huang Zhang became curious.

Indeed, he has just returned to Kyoto, and it has not been a year yet, and this cheap emperor Lao Tzu arranged such a marriage for him, and it came so quickly?

It stands to reason that the process from deliberation to preparation will take at least a year, right?

It will take a lot of time to go back and forth between the two countries, sending envoys to each other to deliver documents and the like, but Huang Zhang has recently heard the news of the marriage between the two countries.

Subsequently, the princess of Kui, whom she had never met, arrived in Su Province, and even arrived in Kyoto immediately!

This is the result of at least a year of preparation!

But a year ago, he was assigned to Sunan? Could it be that this unpredictable prophet of Emperor Su knew that he was coming back, so he arranged a marriage for himself in advance? That's not realistic!

Seeing that Huang Zhang was starting to be curious, Du Zhi immediately explained to him: "The marriage of the eldest prince was planned by Honglu Temple and Zongzheng Temple two years ago, and it was not until a year ago that it was officially determined. ”

"Are you kidding? A year ago, I was just sealed to Sunan, could it be that this princess of Kui Kingdom went to Sunan to marry me? ”

Du Zhi nodded.

"Your Majesty did mean this at the beginning!"

“……”

These words made Huang Zhang a little speechless, and he didn't believe it a little.

"I know Your Highness may not believe it, but that's what it is. Three years ago, the Empress died, His Majesty was sick and thin, and although he was in the prime of life, he began to consider the candidate for the crown prince, and His Majesty hesitated for a long time between you and the second prince. Taishi Qi Zhang said that the second prince was born smart, and if he cultivated it carefully, over time, he would be a dragon among people! ”

As soon as Du Zhi said this, Huang Zhang immediately understood, no wonder this Taishi Qi Zhang was going to guard the grave of the second child, it seemed that it was really a relationship that he had cultivated step by step.

"Your Majesty agreed to come down at the time, but in this way, it is not very fair to Your Highness, Your Majesty means that you are ready to let the Taishi teach you and the second prince, but unfortunately, the Taishi said that your talent is not as good as the second prince, so you don't accept it, it just so happens that at this time someone from the Kui Kingdom came, and made a request for peace......"

"So, in order to compensate, you arranged for this princess of Kui to be me, right?" Huang Zhang continued.

Du Zhi nodded, "That's right!" ”

"I know that I am about to get married, but why did you seal me to Sunan a year ago?"

"What's this? I don't know. But the official knows that although His Royal Highness has been given the title to Sunan, the marriage has not been broken, and our Honglu Temple has been negotiating with Kui Guo. ”

"So the question is, what does this have to do with today's events? As you heard just now, it's not me who repents of marriage, it's them, and since they want to repent of their marriage, why should I beg for it in vain? What is the true state of the country? Garbage dumps? ”

If Rui Song heard this, he was afraid that he would be mad on the spot, and he dared to compare the princess of Kui to garbage, which is probably unbearable for a person.

When Du Zhi heard this, he hurriedly made a pause gesture.

"I know Your Highness can't stand this tone, but after all, this marriage was arranged for you by His Majesty, which not only involves you as the crown prince, but also involves the Northwest Army."

He didn't take Du Zhi's previous words seriously, but the latter one involved the Northwest Army?

You must know that Chu Liang, the man he borrowed from the Pingban Army of Wushanhui, was born in the Northwest Army.

When Chu Liang left him, he said that the Northwest Army was in an emergency, and he wanted to return to the Northwest Army.

At that time, Huang Zhang was still in a hurry to deal with the barbarians in Sunan, so he didn't pay much attention, but now when he heard Du Zhi mention the matter of the Northwest Army, he immediately became curious.

"What happened to the Northwest Army?"

Du Zhi thought that Huang Zhang would talk about the prince, but he didn't expect that the first sentence Huang Zhang opened his mouth was related to the Northwest Army!

"Your Highness was in Sunan some time ago, so I don't know that in terms of the Northwest Army, the Qiang people who were originally in the western settlement and the Rongdi in the north joined forces to go south, and the Northwest Army was in an emergency. Because the Northwest Army was guarding the Lanshan defense line, if the Lanshan defense line was broken, the large and small territories of the Kui State would also be invaded by these foreign tribes, so at the critical moment when the Northwest Army was unable to hold on, the Kui State sent troops to support and held the Lanshan defense line. ”

"Your Highness also knows that now the Su State is full of devastation, and the Wu State came to attack again some time ago, and it is really impossible to allocate extra manpower to reinforce the Northwest Army, if the relationship between us and the Kui State is stiff, and the Wei army withdraws, I am afraid that the Lanshan defense line will be dangerous!"

Of course, Du Zhi felt that the eldest prince in front of him might not care about the Lanshan defense line of the Northwest Army, and he might be the crown prince, which was the topic he had the most to do.

It's just a pity that Huang Zhang didn't say a word about the prince, which made Du Zhi a little worried.

Could it be that this eldest prince is not even interested in the position of crown prince?

"In other words, the situation in the Northwest Army is very serious now, right?"

Du Zhi nodded.

"Now that the frost has fallen, the situation of the Northwest Army will only become more severe! If His Royal Highness insists on falling out with Kui Guo, the official doesn't dare to think about the rest of the matter. ”

At this time, Rui Song also caught up breathlessly.

Seeing Huang Zhang and Du Zhi, Rui Song immediately leaned over.

"His Royal Highness, I apologize to you for my rudeness just now, as the envoy of the Kui Kingdom, what I said just now is biased, please don't worry about it, so as not to delay the marriage between the two countries!"

Now that Huang Zhang has calmed down, Du Zhi's words just now made him fall into thought, coupled with Rui Song's softness.

He didn't care about anything now, and directly closed the four doors and didn't let the princess of Kui come in.

But the result is obvious, either the emperor blames, or he is pushed to the end, anyway, the general trend is irreversible, it is better to borrow the slope to get off the donkey.

"Humph! I think Kui Envoy's tone was very arrogant just now? ”

Rui Song didn't dare to talk nonsense now, so he had to laugh and say: "It's mainly caused by water and soil adaptation, and dizziness for a while, please don't be surprised!" ”

Seeing Rui Song's attitude, Huang Zhang didn't say much.

As the saying goes, if you don't hit a smiling person, it's not a smiling face, it's a fan of your face in front of you, where can he do it!

"Alright, let's go back and keep talking!"

Hearing that Huang Zhang was willing to continue the talks, Rui Song immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

This great prince, he is really unpredictable!

Du Zhi on the side was relieved when he saw Huang Zhang's mouth.

The eldest prince, the little ancestor, was simply sent by His Majesty to torture him!

When Huang Zhang returned to the talks, the tone of the envoys of Kui was much better, and they did not dare to have the slightest arrogant tone, for fear of offending this lord who was not afraid of heaven and earth!

The outcome of the talks went well, and various matters were discussed, and even the occasional disagreements were tacitly avoided and not discussed.

But the more harmonious the atmosphere is, the more unhappy Huang Zhang is.

Isn't this step by step another step away from the time when he and Princess Kui Guo got married?

But he couldn't help it, he just wanted to find fault, and he didn't have a chance.

As soon as he found that his expression was wrong, the two envoys immediately changed the topic and stopped dwelling. That degree of harmony is only seen in Du Zhi's life.

The talks are coming to an end in a friendly meeting between the two sides.

However, at the end of the day, Huang Zhang's behavior startled everyone.

I saw him stand up suddenly, usually at this time, this little ancestor stood up, he must have something to say.

Sure enough, Huang Zhang then opened his mouth to ask for information about the princess of Kui.

This is the purpose of Huang Zhang's visit to Honglu Temple today, they put it aside for a long time, but they didn't talk about it, seeing that the talks were almost over, he didn't want to mention it at all, he couldn't wait, so he stood up and asked.

As soon as he heard the message that Huang Zhang wanted to be the princess of Kui Kingdom, Rui Song's tense nerves were relieved.

He thought that Huang Zhang was going to make trouble, but he wanted information.

Rui Song handed a post to Huang Zhang, and said: "This is the basic information of my princess Kui, originally it was for Zongzheng Temple Zongzheng, since I took you to ask in person, it is the same for His Royal Highness, I will send another copy to Zongzheng when I go back!" ”

Huang Zhang took the post and looked at it, and it really recorded the information of the princess of Kui in detail.

, He didn't expect the process to be so smooth, and after putting the post in his pocket, he gave Rui Song a punch.

"Now that the things have been obtained, then the matter after this meeting will be discussed by yourself, and I will not bother. Leave! ”

After speaking, Huang Zhang said hello to the others again, and then turned to leave.

Seeing Huang Zhang leave this time, everyone didn't have the same tension as just now.

And Huang Zhang was not present, the original harmonious atmosphere disappeared in an instant, and the two sides began to argue on various small things, not giving in the slightest!

If Huang Zhang turns around, I'm afraid he will see a wonderful scene.

It's a pity that the current Huang Zhang just wants to quickly study a countermeasure.

He also saw Rui Song's attitude today, and that guy made it clear that he wanted to get married as soon as possible.

But the more this happened, the more anxious he became.

You have to think of a way to do it!
