Chapter 558 Marriage (Third Update)
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhou Zhenwen generously admitted that there was nothing to hide about this matter.
After all, many people know about it.
Emperor Xuan even opened his mouth for his marriage......
"Zhou Aiqing, you are not young, and you are in your twenties now, right?" Empress Liang counted Zhou Zhenwen's age and said slowly.
"Yes, eight out of twenty." Zhou Zhenwen nodded.
Ten years ago, Zhou Zhenwen had just crossed over, worshiped under his teacher, studied hard and collected books, and finally in just one year, he won six yuan and became the champion of Beijing.
He had just turned eighteen that year.
And now...... Ten years have passed.
Before he knew it, he was almost thirty years old.
Xun Caiwei, who was fourteen or fifteen years old in the past, is now twenty-four or five years old.
According to the age of ancient times, these are all old girls.
It's long overdue to get married and have children.
"Eight out of twenty, not yet married......"
"It's a little late, indeed."
"Come to think of it, Zhou Aiqing worked too hard for the affairs of the court, so much so that she forgot to get married, I intend to let the eldest princess marry Aiqing, I don't know if Aiqing is willing?" Empress Liang Zhao thought about it and said euphemistically.
"The eldest princess is both talented and beautiful, and the minister will naturally not refuse His Majesty's kindness." Zhou Zhenwen has no reason to refuse.
He told the eldest princess Huaizhen a long time ago that if you want to marry him, you must have one heart with him, if the other party is still concerned about the Great Wilderness and is here to spy on him, then there is no need to bother.
The eldest princess Huaizhen is also a smart woman, she has her own opinions, and she also has her own ideas, since she is willing to marry herself, she has already thought about these things.
"Okay."
Empress Liang Zhao showed a satisfied smile, she thought that Zhou Zhenwen would shirk a few words, but she didn't expect the other party to agree very simply.
This made Empress Liang Zhao breathe a sigh of relief.
"I have also heard about the Xun family's daughter, and I don't want to break up the lover, the Xun family girl can arrange to marry the next day as a side room, the eldest princess is not a jealous person, you will definitely be able to get along well." Empress Liang Zhao said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhou Zhenwen bowed.
"Okay, Zhou Aiqing, the eldest princess is my sister, you must treat her well." Empress Liang Zhao seemed to have thought of something and explained.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister and the eldest princess will definitely respect and love each other." Zhou Zhenwen replied.
"Okay, this matter, I will make a decree, the wedding, do you want to do it in Suzhou and Hangzhou City?"
"Or do you want to do it in the capital?"
Empress Liang Zhao actually planned to do it in the capital, after all, it was the princess who got married, or the eldest princess, and there should be a card.
Although now that the aura is reviving and the golden era is coming, the situation is changing rapidly, everything must be simple, and it is not suitable for big operations.
But after all, she is the first princess to marry, and she is still her eldest sister, and the empress Liang Zhao still hopes to give her a beautiful wedding!!
It's also about the face of the royal family.
"The minister is more inclined to do it in Suzhou and Hangzhou."
"After all, the affairs of Suzhou and Hangzhou City cannot be delayed, but after all, it is the eldest princess who is married, if she does not do it in the capital, it is not in line with the etiquette law, it is better to do it in the capital for a day, and then go to Suzhou and Hangzhou City to do it, make up for three days, Your Majesty, you see...... Is that okay? Zhou Zhenwen naturally guessed what Emperor Xuan meant.
After all, it is the royal princess who is married, if it is done in a foreign country, wouldn't it make the world look down on it?
Even if it is now in full swing, in a sense, it is not as good as the status of the capital.
"Okay, Zhou Aiqing's idea is very good, I am very satisfied." Empress Liang Zhao supported Zhou Zhenwen's idea.
It is a matter of royal face, and it is also related to the future status of the eldest princess, Empress Liang Zhao does not want to do things hastily, and the scenery is the most basic requirement.
Besides, the capital has just experienced the invasion of the Ape Demon Clan's Heavenly and Human Realm powerhouses, and it is also in urgent need of a festive thing to rush to rejoice!!
Life still needs some happy things.
"Your Majesty, the minister will retire first."
"The matter over there in Suzhou and Hangzhou City still needs to be dealt with by the minister."
Zhou Zhenwen arched his hand and said.
"Well, Aiqing is hard." Empress Liang Zhao said.
After seeing Zhou Zhenwen leave, Empress Liang Zhaoping retreated left and right and began to ponder.
"After this matter is settled, the most important thing is to find the idea of my true identity, destroy it, and prevent it from being exposed!!"
"After the eldest princess gets married, the interests of the Great Wilderness and Zhou Zhenwen's interests are tied together, and Zhou Zhenwen can be regarded as a concubine, and his status should also be improved."
"After the affairs of the vassal king are dealt with, with many great achievements such as establishing Suzhou and Hangzhou City, establishing an underground city, and solving the survival problems of the people in an extremely cold environment, I can consider giving Zhou Zhenwen the title of king to further enhance his status."
Empress Liang Zhao thought slowly.
The matter of sealing the king is not without purpose.
It's not the idea that Empress Liang Zhao just thought of.
According to the last deduction, the north is frozen, except for the capital that is blocked by a special enchantment and is not covered by heavy snow, the rest of the places have been covered by extremely cold weather, and the entire north has fallen in a large area, and the capital as the center of the great wilderness has been a little out of place.
The southern revolution also needed specific things and specific arrangements, so the second imperial court was established, that is, Nanjing.
Adopting the two-capital system, the Nanjing imperial court, only for the purpose of reforming and ruling the south, special appropriations, special government affairs, which is equivalent to adding a tight spell to the heads of the southern states and counties, and the power is almost only a little worse than the capital court.
The Nanjing Imperial Court will definitely be taken care of by the eldest princess Huaizhen in the future.
This is decentralization!!
Similarly, the eldest princess Huaizhen manages the Nanjing court, and Zhou Zhenwen, who is a concubine, if she does not improve her status, it is easy to become a vassal, and unequal status is a taboo!!
Therefore, Empress Liang Zhao plans to gradually improve Zhou Zhenwen's status so that he can be on par with the eldest princess Huaizhen.
Of course, in fact, this matter is very risky.
The people in the north gradually moved south, and some began to enter the dungeon to avoid the wind and snow, which means that the power of the capital is further weakened, and Nanjing is handed over to the eldest princess Huaizhen to take care of, which is equivalent to half of the imperial court, which is in the hands of the eldest princess Huaizhen.
If she has a different heart and cooperates with Zhou Zhenwen, I am afraid that it will be easy to change the dynasty and become a new generation of empresses.
But if you want to do this, you must find reasons for her moral failure, or improper handling of government affairs, which leads to natural and man-made disasters.
That is, there is an excuse, and without an excuse, it is difficult to convince the public.
Since ancient times, if you want to change the dynasty, you need excuses and justifications.
This is the foundation of this imperial court, based on it, if there is no reason to change the dynasty, the consequences are...... In the future, there will be other people who will use the same means against you!!
Losing credibility, majesty, and legitimacy, even if you ascend to the throne, it will be unstable.
That's the horror of the power apparatus.
