Thinking about it, Ye Xuan suddenly felt a little excited, and he didn't have the heart to tease Zishou anymore.

With a deep groan, Ye Xuan said directly: "Then what are you going to do, directly refuse this family business?" Since your father has told you about this, it means that he has already discussed it with Dong Bohou. If you refuse at this time, it is hard to say whether it will anger your father, but it will definitely offend Dong Bohou miserably. When the time comes, there will be any rumors such as "His Royal Highness King Shou dislikes the daughter of Dong Bohou", which is enough to destroy the innocent daughter's house. Edom's love for his daughter, you can be regarded as completely standing opposite him at that time. Don't say that you only have a slight upper hand in the face of Wei Ziqi now, even if you have been made the crown prince, if Dong Bohou stands on the opposite side of you, you may not be able to sit on the throne. Moreover, if Dong Bohou remarries his daughter to Wei Ziqi at that time, I am afraid that you will be farther and farther away from that throne. ”

Hearing Ye Xuan say this, Zishou took a big sip of stuffy tea and said depressedly: "Then teacher, what do you say I can do?

Shaking his head, Ye Xuan said: "Although it is said that the teacher appreciates your infatuation, but the teacher still has to say that if you don't marry the daughter of Dong Bohou, the other girl Su will marry you? If you can inherit the throne, if you want to marry her as the queen, naturally no one will object, presumably Jizhou Hou Suhu is still eager to marry his daughter to you. However, if you refuse this marriage with Dong Bohou's daughter now, causing Dong Bohou to be jealous of you, so he stands on Wei Ziqi's side, and finally makes you lose the throne of the king of Shang, then, Jizhou Hou Suhu, will he marry his daughter to such a loser as you?"

Hearing this, Zishou naturally knew that most of what Ye Xuan said was the truth. If he really became a loser in the struggle for the throne, the Marquis of Jizhou would really not marry his daughter to him. It's just that in this way, Zishou is even more depressed: "Then what do you say I can do, teacher? Why did my father suddenly think of marrying Dong Bohou's daughter to me?"

After taking a bite of the pastry, Ye Xuan looked at Zishou with a helpless face, and said, "How can I say it, in fact, this matter is not incomprehensible." ”

Hearing Ye Xuan say this, Zishou instantly felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and hurriedly asked, "What is the teacher's clever plan?"

"Miao Ce?" glanced at Zishou with a strange look, and Ye Xuan said playfully: "Zishou, let's put it this way, if you become the king of Shang in the future, then don't talk about the three palaces and six courts, anyway, you will definitely not have only one queen, right?"

Hearing Ye Xuan say this, Zishou was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "Teacher, what do you mean...... But ......"

Shaking his head slightly, Ye Xuan said: "That's all for the teacher." Zishou, if you are an ordinary person, such infatuation is naturally a good thing, but you are the prince of Dashang, and it is likely to be the next king of Dashang. Some things, like your marriage, you can't just think about the superficial things, you need to think about it more. For example, this time, why did your father ask Dong Bohou to marry his daughter to you? You must know that in the battle for the throne, you have already taken the advantage, and you can become the next Shang king without the help of external forces. But your father will still betroth to you the daughter of Dong Bohu. Of course, there is his desire to strengthen your position, and most of the time he also wants to use this to show his attitude, so as to cut off some people's thoughts, lest there be civil strife in the Great Shang after he goes. Moreover, if you marry the daughter of Dong Bohou as a concubine, you can also strengthen the bond between the Great Shang and the Jiang tribe, so that even after his abdication, the Great Shang can maintain a close relationship with the Jiang tribe. Have you thought about all this?"

Zishou was silent. After a long time, Fang Cai sighed faintly: "It turns out that my marriage actually involves so many things?"

After taking a sip of tea, Ye Xuan glanced at him: "What do you think, although the current big merchants seem to be powerful, but this is all the result of your father's years of fighting." In these years, the rebellion of the Zhou tribe and the rebellion of the Siyi tribe - are there still few rebellions of all kinds? The reason why your father was able to put down these rebellions was not only because of his wise and martial factors, but also because of the support of the Dong Bohou and the Jiang tribe. Without the support of the Jiang tribe, the Great Shang could be said to be in crisis—the Great Shang was far less powerful than it seemed. If Dashang was really that powerful, when he defeated the Zhou tribe, your father would not have chosen to marry his sister to Ji Chang and reconcile with the Zhou tribe. ”

Sullenly lowering his head, Zishou's tone suddenly became a little low: "Then in the teacher's opinion, what should Zishou do?"

Shaking his head, Ye Xuan said, "You don't need to ask me about this, and you shouldn't ask me." You have to ask yourself. I told you before you entered the palace that everything depends on your heart. However, I want to remind you that even if you marry Dong Bohou's daughter, it doesn't mean that you can't marry Miss Su as the queen, right? As long as you can make Dashang stronger, so strong that you don't need to rely on any external force, who you want to make the queen when the time comes, it's not up to you to decide?"

Hearing Ye Xuan say this, Zishou was silent for a moment, but suddenly said: "But, teacher, if you do this, isn't you a little sorry for that Jiang girl?

Glancing at Zishou unexpectedly, Ye Xuan nodded approvingly: "It's still very gratifying for you to think of this." But there's one thing you're still a little naïve. Do you think that for a woman of her status, it is their turn to make their own decisions about marriage? Their marriage is nothing more than marriage after all. If you meet someone who can pity them, it's okay, if you meet someone with a bad personality, what do you think their life will be like after marriage? So, if you feel sorry for her, then after you marry her, be kind to others. Maybe you don't have the same feelings for her as you do for Miss Su, but, at least, you have to treat her as if she were your family. If you do something to be sorry for her, even if others don't say it, the teacher will not spare you. ”

Nodding, Zishou said, "Thank you, teacher, disciple understands." ”

Seeing this, Ye Xuan nodded lightly: "It's good that you understand." ”
