Chapter 493: Political Marriage
Behind the political marriage is often a large exchange of interests, Ximen Yan sat in the carriage and thought about the future of the royal family. She knew Emperor Ling's last words very well, and she finally knew Weishenme. Ximen and the Liu family are capable families, not to mention that Liu Fan is still the only descendant of Prince Li. Although she didn't know what kind of secret there was between the royal family and Prince Li, Ximen Yan knew that if it weren't for the royal family, Prince Li would not have left such a last word.
The carriage was quiet, the huge carriage was conspicuous in the procession, and Ximen Yan sat in the carriage and imagined the future of the empire. After being imprisoned for more than two years, she now knows that so many things have happened in the empire, and behind this political marriage, Ximen Yan also sees an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Liu Fan is now completely reborn, the strong generals in his hands are like clouds, the ministers are like rain, and it is a matter of time before the empire is pacified. How to completely tie Liu Fan to the carriage of the royal family is what Ximen Yan wants to consider the most.
Ximen Yan looked at his sisters, now that Liu Long has taken the initiative to give up the position of the prince, everyone is very unanimous in keeping silent on this matter, and no one will object. Because now only Liu Fan can lead the Liu family and the Xia family to the highest point of honor. The marriage between Ximen Yu and Liu Long is impossible to change, and behind this marriage, the Ximen clan does not get any benefits. Liu Long has lost the right to speak in the Liu family, and what the royal family needs most now is the allegiance of the Liu family.
The only news that can make Ximen Yan feel a little relieved is that the Empress Dowager He is still in the Liu family, and she can give the Liu family certain benefits in exchange for the loyalty of the Liu family. The two families were originally from one family, and Ximen Yan would not believe that such a family would choose to be loyal to the royal family when it had no interests at all. She Ximen Yan didn't believe it. No one in the world would have imagined it. Everything that people are looking for is just around a good word. Such a big family, big shili, has no interests, it is impossible to be unconditionally loyal to the royal family for the sake of so-called loyalty, not to mention that the majesty of the royal family has fallen to a point of no return.
"Sister, I want to marry Liu Fan. Ximen Yu looked at Ximen Yan a little blankly, as if he had never known his sister, his sister had always been arrogant and had a very high vision. Because she is known as the first beauty of the empire. When Emperor Ling was still there, she had already found countless family affairs, but they were all rejected by her sister, including many young talents from the empire and people with prominent family backgrounds.
"Weishenme?" Ximen Yu asked very simply, she knew that her sister had always been very assertive, and it could even be said that Ximen Yan was the most talented one among the children of Emperor Ling. Since Ximen Yan has already said her thoughts, she must have considered it all, it is impossible for Ximen Yu to stop it, and the only thing that can let Ximen Yu know is the reason why Ximen Yan chose to do this. In fact, Ximen Yu had already vaguely guessed a little, but this was not enough, she wanted to hear her sister say it herself.
"I want the Liu family to be loyal to the royal family. Rescue my brother. Ximen Yan was a little sad, although she had already decided to marry Liu Fan. But Liu Fan is not the person she wants. She and Simon Ye are the same mother, and the relationship between the two is far closer than that of the other princesses and Simon Ye. There are many powerful warlords in the empire, such as Dong Zhuo who sits in the north, Yue Tianyun, who owns the remnants of the Bingzhou Corps, and Liewu Marquis and Fengwu Marquis who have the remnants of the Jiaozhou Corps, and Fang Jiao, the sect leader of the Sun and Moon God Sect of the former dynasty who has been hiding in the shadows and controlling everything just now.
"Have you really decided?" Even if Ximen Yu knew that his sister had made a choice, he was also surprised in his heart, yes, Liu Fan's political marriage always carries the exchange of interests, even if he really loves his wives, but behind his women there is a huge shili. Maybe what they learned was just a rough idea, after all, Zhao Yun and the others had been fighting in the north, and the information that came back was only that Liu Fan was going to get married and was gathering all his subordinates to prepare for the eastward battle.
Ximen Yan nodded and said, "I have already decided, since his marriage carries so much political background, I think having more of me will only make his future the icing on the cake, as long as he can be loyal to the royal family, what can we not give him?"
Ximen Yan's words touched Ximen Yu a lot, she knew that her sister had always been committed to maintaining the dominance of the royal family, and the reason why she was so desperate in the academy was to be able to get ahead and win back some of the military power for the royal family, but unfortunately the students she recruited in the academy, now I am afraid that no one still remembers the royal family who is suffering in the imperial capital. Ximen Yu knew that her sister had always hated herself as a daughter, and of course she also knew that she had been dissatisfied with the marriage arranged for her by the royal family for so many years, that is, she needed to use this perfect body in exchange for the greatest benefit of the royal family, and now she has found such a person.
"Fourth sister, will the Liu family agree to this marriage?"
"Yes, they will, they need a suitable reason to raise troops, just the reason of Prince Li is not enough, he must also get the royal decree, and this edict cannot be given by the queen mother, we rescued princesses can solve his current predicament. Ximen Yan's tone was a little low, she had long been ready to sacrifice for the royal family, but she never thought that one day she would marry a man she had never seen with her eyes for the royal family, even if this man was a rare young talent in the empire now, and he was also one of the most powerful people in the empire, but this was not the reason why Ximen Yan wanted to marry him.
interests, behind this marriage is simply an exchange of interests, and their rescued princesses are just a means for others to obtain benefits after all. As Ximen Yan said, the Liu family needs the emperor's edict or an edict, obviously they can't get it, but what does it matter? The princess was rescued from the palace by them, the edict and the edict are just a very simple matter, the Liu family only needs to declare that the princess brought the emperor's edict, as for the truth or falsehood, I am afraid that only Zhang Rang of the imperial capital will go back to investigate, but how many people in the world will choose to believe Zhang Rang?
"Someone. "The days of marriage are numbered, and Ximen Yan must rush to the Liu family as soon as possible to negotiate some conditions with the Liu family. If they continue to march with the army, they will stay at the border of Yuzhou, waiting to attack Yuzhou, and all the generals will only rush back to attend the wedding on the day of marriage, if they follow the army, it will be too late.
"Tell your general that I need to rush to Jianye City to see Liu Fan within three days. A cavalryman came to the window of the carriage with a horse, Ximen Yan said a word, and the cavalry immediately hit the horse and rushed to the front team, this matter can only be reported to Xiang Yu, and others have no right to decide.
"I see, you go and tell the princess, and I'll arrange for someone to send her there. Xiang Yu's brows furrowed, nodded and said to the cavalryman, and the cavalry immediately beat his horse and left. Xiang Yu asked people to find Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Gao Chong and Lu Wenlong.
"The four of you have worked hard, and from here on, you will secretly send the princess to Jianye City. Remember, people must be sent to Jianye City safely, and these people are of great use to the lord. ”
"Yes, General. The four of them arched their hands towards Xiang Yu, and immediately rode their respective war horses towards the rear of the team. (To be continued.) )
