Chapter 310: Marriage

In the days that followed, the Jia Mansion gradually returned to peace.

As for Jia Lian himself, he only needs to run the Military and Horse Division and his own home every day. Occasionally, he helps out in Ningguo Mansion.

In the remaining free time, he either practiced martial arts in the newly built martial arts arena, or spent time with his wife, concubines, and maids at home, living a fulfilling and contented life.

Until this day, a piece of news came from the court, which finally made his brows, which had been relaxed for many days, wrinkle up again.

In the Changchun Palace, the concubine looked at Emperor Ning Kang who was sitting in meditation with her. There was a trace of sadness between her eyebrows, and she asked leisurely: "What has the emperor been worried about recently?"

Emperor Ningkang came back to his senses, shook his head and said: "It's just a little secular business in the court, it's nothing."

The concubine narrowed her eyes and continued to stop rotating the rosary beads in her hand, "But because of the court's discussion, The matter of getting married to the King of Wala?"

Seeing that his biological mother, the concubine, already knew about it, Emperor Ningkang stopped covering it up and nodded in response: "The concubine clearly saw it, and it was indeed because of this matter."< br />
"What is it about this matter that is worthy of your embarrassment?"

The concubine said very naturally: "Although I don't understand the affairs of the government, in recent days, I also heard a little bit about it.

The barbarians at the border are still determined to be traitors, and our western frontier is unstable.

Therefore, the imperial court decided to form an alliance with the King of Wala and enthroned King Wala As a powerful man in Mongolia, this will not only solve the military disaster, but also make our western border stable for at least several decades..."

Emperor Ningkang valued filial piety, so he often took advantage of his free time to accompany his concubine.

But he is also a person deeply influenced by imperial thoughts, and usually does not take the initiative to discuss state affairs with the concubine.

At this time, seeing that the concubine was so clear about the current affairs of the court, I felt a little suspicious. But as a son, he naturally wouldn't interrupt her at this time.

So when the concubine finished speaking, he responded in a normal way, "The concubine said yes."

The concubine saw that he was not very interested in talking, and she was a little nervous. He understood it as soon as he thought about it, so he sighed: "Originally, these things should be worried about by you and the ministers.

But although you are the emperor, you are also my son. I wonder which mother in the world , can you bear to see your son looking sad all day long?

That’s all, since you don’t want to tell me, I won’t ask any more questions, lest you think in your heart that I intend to interfere with your external affairs. It's something."

Hearing what the concubine said, how could Emperor Ning Kang dare to sit still? He hurriedly tried to please him: "What did the concubine say? I don't mean it anymore..

I just don’t want to disturb your peace with such annoying things.

Speaking of which, it’s just a family matter. Navarre's envoy came to Beijing to make an alliance with me this time, and his attitude was very sincere. Originally, the imperial court had already made an alliance, but Navarre suddenly proposed to marry me, the princess of the state, as a sign of eternal alliance. "

" Ning Kangdi said, but he also explained the difficulty: "The concubine must also know that the only one who is of the right age and ready to be married is Zhaoyang.

I wanted to choose another person from the clan, but Prince Navara insisted on marrying Zhaoyang.

This is the dilemma for Erchen. "

"What's so difficult about this? "

Hearing Emperor Ning Kang's words, Concubine Li felt a surge of anger inexplicably.

"Is it possible that she is unwilling? As a royal princess, she has enjoyed all the honors and favors since she was a child. Now that she has grown up, she should share the worries of her king and father and shoulder her own responsibilities and missions! "

Emperor Ning Kang frowned and said: "But, the Queen Mother..."

Who doesn't know that the Queen Mother has no queen and has always regarded Princess Zhaoyang as her own.< br />
If Zhaoyang is to be married to a foreign country, how should the Queen Mother explain it?

"Marriage is a major matter of state affairs, related to the safety of the country, the country, and the country. Your eldest princess envoy back then, will you give me an explanation? Going forward, which of your sisters who got married in the past would not be proud of marrying a foreign country, contributing to the country, and sharing the worries of the king and father?

They all asked, why can’t Zhaoyang alone succeed? Could it be that Zhaoyang is not the princess of Wei Dynasty?

The Queen Mother understands justice well and she will definitely understand this truth, so you don’t have to worry too much. "

Emperor Ning Kang listened silently. To a large extent, the concubine's words were in line with legal etiquette.

However, he also had enough reasons to be cautious.< br />
The Queen Mother has a respected position and is not his biological mother. If Zhaoyang is rashly asked to get married, it will be reported that he is intentionally bullying the Queen Mother. That is not what he wants to see.
< br />The concubine continued to add: "Besides, I have also met the third prince of Nawala.

He is a brave man with an extraordinary appearance. The last time he came to visit me, Zhaoyang happened to be there.

You must know something about Zhaoyang’s temperament. She likes to be active rather than quiet. She has been good at riding horses and shooting arrows since she was a child. She is a perfect match for Prince Navarre.

I saw that the two of them got along very harmoniously.

Putting aside the topic of marriage, such a God-given marriage, as a fatherEmperor, why can't it be done? "

Emperor Ning Kang was stunned, "Is this true? "

"I still favor you, don't you? ”

Emperor Ningkang understood something in his heart. No wonder Prince Nawala, above the main hall, kept saying that he fell in love with Zhaoyang at first sight, and was astonished to the heavens. He must marry him in this life.

He was originally confused as to how Prince Wala, who had only been in Beijing for more than a month, had the opportunity to meet Zhaoyang.

It turned out that he was in his mother’s palace.

“If this is really the case, this matter would be easy to handle. " Emperor Ning Kang said to himself.

Concubine Li was a little happy, "Exactly. Another point is that I heard that the third prince of Nawala was the most favored prince in the royal court of Wala. After Zhaoyang marries him, and with our support, I think the third prince will definitely become the next Khan.

In this way, Zhaoyang naturally rose, and she also became the Khan's Princess, whose status was still above that of the Princess.

Calculated in this way, it was not an insult to her at all. "

When Emperor Ning Kang heard this, there was no expression on his face. He just nodded and said, "I understand and will consider this matter carefully. ”

Khan?

It’s just a stopgap measure. In the future, this Northwestern money wolf must be completely culled!

……

The next day, Daming Palace.

The fourth prince rushed through the south study room with an anxious look on his face. After kneeling down to say hello, he didn’t care that he didn’t get a response from Emperor Ning Kang. He raised his head and asked: "Father, I heard that the imperial court wants the imperial sister to get married? Or go to the desert in the northwest, a place where birds don’t poop? ? "

"Father? "

Under repeated questioning by the fourth prince, Emperor Ning Kang, who was at the head of the case, finally raised his head and said very displeasedly: "This is government affairs, there is no room for you to question and speak.

If you are concerned about this matter, you should learn from your eldest and third emperor brothers, become familiar with knowledge, observe current affairs more, and be able to say insightful words. So, if you have anything to say about loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, I might as well listen to it.

Otherwise, just get out of the way. "

The fourth prince's expression froze when he heard this. What his father said, in other words, is that a waste is not qualified to talk about government affairs!

But how can he accept it?

　“But, that’s my imperial sister! Father, do you really have the heart to see her marry in such a remote place and never see her again for the rest of your life?

Father, have you forgotten Princess Changning? She also married her mother-in-lawYes, she had cared for her son Chen very much since she was a child, but after she married and moved to the north, his son never saw her again until the news came that she died of illness.

Father! Aren't you worried that the emperor's sister is like the emperor's sister Changning, who will never come back? Don't you love the emperor's sister? "

As the fourth prince spoke, tears fell down.

His words made Emperor Ningkang tense up.

In the end, No emperor is willing to marry his daughter to a remote foreign country.

Emperor Ning Kang also knew that that was probably not a good destination.

Therefore, what the fourth prince said , and it suddenly touched the softness and intolerance in his heart.

But, who calls him the emperor.

“Asshole! " Emperor Ning Kang scolded.

"You still know your eldest sister? As a woman, your eldest sister knows how to serve the country and share the worries of your father. As my son, you only know how to have fun every day. What makes you worthy of being the prince of my great Wei

?

Now you still have the nerve to come and question me? If you have the ability, lead your troops to destroy the Tatars and Oaras. As long as you can protect the stability of our country, I will not only prevent your imperial sister from getting married, but I will even allow you to take my position! ”

The fourth prince was used to hearing scoldings from his father.

But this time, he heard his father blaming the sad fate of his eldest sister and others on The incompetence of these princes made the fourth prince’s face suddenly turn red.

“Go! "

"My son, I will lead the troops now to destroy the Tatars and Oaras of Laoshizi. As long as you remember your promise, father, from now on, you will never let the imperial sister go to get married again! ”

The words of the fourth prince made all the slaves and eunuchs in the palace look at each other.

This fourth prince really dared to agree.

What do he think the Tatars and Oaras are? They are the two most powerful Mongolian tribes in the entire prairie and Gobi Desert.

The Mongols have been troubled since the dynasty of Taizu They already exist. For a hundred years, the imperial court has always maintained a policy of co-optation and division, and no one has ever dared to say that it can completely destroy them.

The Fourth Prince promised to lead troops as soon as he came up. He went to destroy someone else's family, and all he wanted was not to let his imperial sister marry!

The eunuchs were like this, let alone Emperor Ning Kang himself.

He was filled with anger. Get up, all of a sudden the beard is blowing. He slammed the table suddenly, stood up and shouted angrily: "Ignorant bastard!"

"Someone, take him out!"

"Father!~~"< br />
　……

“My father can’t hear you from this far away, why don’t you let me down!!”

The dedicated guard of the South Study Room, After "crossing" the fourth prince a long way, he let go of the fourth prince's arm amid the dissatisfied scolding of the fourth prince.

Although they immediately bowed and apologized, they still did not escape. Each of them received a kick from the fourth prince.

Despite this, they still used their bodies to block the fourth prince’s attempt to turn back.

His Majesty is clearly angry. If the Fourth Prince is allowed to come in again, he will not be the only one who will be punished.

During the tug-of-war, the fourth prince’s wife came over to persuade him: “Your Highness, let’s forget it.

If you have really angered His Majesty, you will be punished again.

"Not only will it have no effect, but you will also suffer from skin and flesh for nothing. Why bother?"

"Why bother? This time my father is clearly in the wrong!"
/>
Huh?

When the guards and eunuchs heard this, they did not dare to look at the fourth prince.

Probably only the Fourth Highness is the one who dares to say to his face that the emperor is wrong.

The fourth prince didn’t care whether these people dared to listen or not, he said loudly: “If in normal times, my father would have been so angry, he would have made me kneel down long ago, but today he just kicked me out. Why is he not in the wrong?

The imperial court cannot defeat them, so they asked my imperial sister to go and get married, so that they can sit at home and live a stable life."

The fourth prince, one His face looked angry.

My wife looked as pale as a bitter gourd in front of her. She neither dared to answer nor dissuade, so she smiled and said, "If Your Highness doesn't want the princess to go and get married, why don't you go and ask the Queen Mother?

“If you think about the Queen Mother taking such good care of Her Royal Highness, she will definitely not just sit idly by and ignore this matter.”

“The Queen Mother...”

The fourth prince suddenly shrank his neck when he thought of the Queen Mother.

He didn’t dare to see the Queen Mother. He didn't know why, but he wasn't even afraid of his father, but every time he was in front of the Queen Mother, he was very well-behaved and didn't dare to say more for fear of saying the wrong word and attracting the Queen Mother's displeased look.

At this point, he envied his imperial sister very much, who could act coquettishly in front of the Queen Mother...

It was also the imperial grandmother and aunt., why the Queen Mother only loves Sister Huang and does not love him at all, sometimes makes him confused.

Subconsciously ruled out the option of asking the Queen Mother. If such a big thing happened, the Queen Mother must have known about it for a long time, and there was no need for him to plead for mercy.

So, with a hard look on his face, he turned around and walked down the white stone steps.

"Where are you going, Your Highness?"

"I'm going to find someone to settle the score!"

Because the fourth prince walks fast, the old eunuch The others hurriedly followed and asked the fourth prince who he should go to settle the score with.

"Of course it's Jia Lian! If he hadn't refused to marry my sister, my sister would have married him long ago. There would be no need to get married!

I I’m going to find him now. I want to ask him why my sister is not worthy of him, and I want to give him a good beating to relieve his anger..."

Seeing the fourth prince’s plausive words, my wife looked strange.

There seems to be nothing wrong with His Highness’s words.

Moreover, His Royal Highness, who is full of anger, must have a place to vent... It seems that the only choice is to wrong General Jia.

Just when the eunuch and others were leading their horses and preparing to escort the fourth prince out of the palace, they suddenly saw Princess Zhaoyang's carriage approaching slowly.

“Sister!” The fourth prince hurriedly greeted her.

The luxurious sedan curtain opened, and it turned out to be Princess Zhaoyang.

She glanced at the Fourth Prince’s people, frowned and asked, “Where are you going?”

“I...”

The fourth prince stammered, ready to find a suitable reason.

Unexpectedly, Princess Zhaoyang didn’t have the patience to wait for him to make it up. She frowned and said, “I’m going to see my father now. You just wait here and you’re not allowed to go anywhere!”
< br /> "But, Sister Huang, I..."

The fourth prince wanted to say something else, but Princess Zhaoyang had already lowered the curtain and headed towards the south study.

"Your Highness, are we still looking for Jia Lian?"

"Where are we going? Didn't you hear the imperial sister asking me to wait here?"

The emperor’s sister is about to get married and go to a barbaric land where birds have nothing to do. At this time, you can’t make her angry. It’s better to just follow her.

The fourth prince thought.

Also, it is always inconvenient to go to Jia’s house to find Jia Lian. It would be better to ask him out alone tomorrow, then cover his head and beat him violently to relieve his anger.
