181 Denied
But as soon as Empress Dowager Yuan finished speaking, the emperor replied indifferently:
“No need.”
These three words are neither light nor heavy, neither cold nor hot, and there is a hint of sharpness in their tone, which is unquestionable.
Liu Shuang was stunned for a moment, and stood still with her head down.
The originally peaceful atmosphere suddenly became tense again because of the emperor's words.
Meeting the sharp and gloomy eyes of Empress Dowager Yuan, the emperor casually brushed his sleeves, rubbed the gourd-shaped hand stove in his hand, and then said, "The Empress Dowager also said that I, a father, have to give my son a detailed look."
"The Yu family's daughter is not good."
The emperor's tone became colder and sharper, and when he spoke the last five words, he was determined.
"..." Empress Dowager Yuan's face changed instantly, and she looked at the emperor who was only one foot away from her with a look that seemed to look at a stranger.
The emperor has always been a soft-hearted person and rarely gets angry on weekdays. To put it nicely, he has a gentle temperament, and to put it badly, he has a cowardice and is easy to control.
Empress Dowager Yuan married the late emperor for more than 20 years, and only eight years ago when the eldest prince was sent to Nanyue as a preceptor, she was angry once when she saw the emperor.
After eight years, Empress Dowager Yuan had forgotten it, but she never expected that the emperor would suddenly become tough and refute her words in public. Even Chu You looked sideways, took his eyes off Gu Yunhao, and looked at the emperor with a little astonishment.
Empress Dowager Yuan's body was stiff, her face turned red, and her wrists were trembling uncontrollably, and her words were filled with frost: "Does the emperor have any objections to the aristocratic family?"
She asked with a single finger, and the voice rang throughout the deck, clearly reaching the ears of others around her.
The children of those aristocratic families all looked at the emperor and the empress dowager, and their ears were raised.
The emperor's dragon robe was blown up in the cold wind, and the cloak covered outside slightly bulged, making his figure thinner.
The emperor looked straight into Empress Dowager Yuan's gloomy eyes without evasion, and announced slowly and firmly:
"My eldest prince will not marry a daughter of aristocratic families."
After saying that, the emperor turned his head and looked at Chu Yi beside him. When facing his son, he looked gentle again, and his loving expression seemed to be saying, "Don't worry, you have a father here."
"..." Chu Yi smiled slightly, his beautifully shaped eyes narrowed slightly, and his pupils were shimmering.
Dad is still like this, exactly the same as when he was a child, and has not changed at all.
Empress Dowager Yuan never expected that the emperor not only flatly rejected her, but even didn't find one of the excuses, and his face turned pale in an instant.
She lived a smooth life, and was valued by her parents and brothers when she was in her parents' home. She married the late emperor and was deeply loved by the late emperor. Even if the late emperor passed away, she was still the noble queen mother and the most noble woman in the Great Jing Dynasty.
Her fingertips were deeply pinched into her tender palms, and her eyes were gloomy.
More and more people looked at this side, and even the young master who turned out to be playing the flute put down the jade flute in his hand.
The sound of the flute stopped, and there was silence around it, only gusts of cold wind whistling on the plywood.
Yuan Zhe, standing beside Chu You, stared straight at the emperor, his eyes as deep as an abyss, and his hands were thoughtfully behind him.
First it was Fengyang, then the emperor...
They are so abnormal, are they planning to take action against the aristocratic family?!
It's really ridiculous.
Yuan Zhe's eyes became colder little by little, as if a wind and snow were raging in his eyes, and he sneered in his heart: what his grandfather and father said was indeed right, but today he was indeed incompetent and had no idea.
If he was now, he would be dormant, and he would slowly plan for it like the previous emperor, slowly take the court in his hands, and then plan for other things.
It has only been a year since I ascended the throne. I haven't even sat firmly on the dragon throne, so I want to take action against their aristocratic family, and I thought I was Emperor Taizu!
Empress Dowager Yuan still stared at the emperor, curled her lips and smiled, but she couldn't smile enough to see her eyes, and asked, "The Ai family would also ask if there is any girl he likes? The Ai family would also help you with your palms."
The emperor smiled leisurely and said calmly: "Emperor Taizu once said that marriage cannot only talk about the orders of parents, but also mutual love."
This sentence seems to be saying that he can choose Chu Yi’s marriage, so he will not let the Queen Mother worry about it.
When the emperor mentioned Emperor Taizu, Yuan Zhe's eyes became gloomy again.
At that time, Emperor Taizu revolted and was unstoppable, and the previous dynasty was defeated. When the overall situation in Jiangbei was settled, their Yuan family and other aristocratic families also took the initiative to surrender to Taizu and worshiped him as the main force.
However, Emperor Taizu held a grudge against the aristocratic family because the aristocratic family did not help him capture the previous dynasty, and devoted himself to supporting the poor and powerful ministers to replace the aristocratic family.
Most of their noble families have been passed down for hundreds or even hundreds of years. They are all wealthy families in their prefectures and counties, and have suppressed scholars from poor families in the local area. However, Emperor Taizu was decisive and immediately killed a chicken to warn the monkey, and the Wang family in Qingzhou was destroyed.
This is why other aristocratic families dare not create again.
Emperor Taizu has always been a person who speaks the same thing.
But this Dajing Dynasty only produced this amazing Emperor Taizu.
It is said that a tiger father has no dog son, and anyone knows that the late emperor is not as good as the Taizu Emperor... and now even the late emperor is not as good as the late emperor!
These three generations of emperors in the Dajing Dynasty are worse than those of the previous generation...
Yuan Zhe looked at the emperor's face, which was so old that he could not hide his old and sickness, with an almost contemptuous look.
I was already being rebuked by the late emperor this day, so what's there to be afraid of?
Just as my father said, since this is disobedient, then let’s change to someone who is obedient.
Yuan Zhe slowly shifted his sight from the emperor to King Kang Chuyou.
Chu You was standing under the eaves of the pleasure boat, and the shadows of the eaves cast a faint shadow on his clearly contoured side face, making his narrow and long eyes colder than the cold wind, as if he was about to hunt.
King Kang's body has blood in his aristocratic family, which is naturally on the side of their aristocratic family. Moreover, King Kang's wings are not yet abundant, so he also needs the support of their aristocratic family.
"Seventh Emperor Brother," the emperor also looked at Chu You like Yuan Zhe, with a meaningful look and asked slowly with a smile, "Do you think this sentence is right or wrong?"
"..." Chu You's face darkened and his thin lips pursed tightly.
This sentence was originally from his mouth. It was what he said to the emperor when he asked the emperor to fulfill his wishes and Gu Yunhao last year. The emperor was just returning the original words at this time.
Looking at the emperor's slightly provocative eyes, Chu You's thin mouth gradually sneered, and his eyes were gloomy.
He and his daughter are in love with each other and truly love each other. It has nothing to do with their external family background. He likes Yanger because it doesn’t matter whether she is the surname Gu or whether she is Gu Ce’s daughter.
Lao'er loves him only because he is him, not because he has the glory of King Kang.
Their relationship is different.
But the emperor...
The emperor kept saying "Taizu" and "wishing each other" on his lips, but he just took the feathers as an arrow. To put it bluntly, it was just to suppress the aristocratic family.
