277 Begging(1/2)
"My sister is my sister!" Gu Yuan turned his back and glanced at Fan Beiran like a book, then turned to look at the Li family cloth shop below.
He knew that Mrs. Gu had prepared for more than ten years for Gu Yun'an's dowry, just like Mrs. Fan for Miss Fan Wu.
Although time may not be too late, my sister’s dowry must not be worse than Gu Yun’s!
Gu Yuan's eyes were filled with a swearing light, he picked up the wine glass at his hand and drank it all in one go.
The street below was very lively. After the manager of the Kangwang Mansion came out of Li's cloth shop, he went to other shops in front, such as lacquerware shops, porcelain shops, gold and silver shops, wine shops, etc., and he walked all over and almost bought a single street.
Even the passers-by following behind were infected with this warm atmosphere, and they were all discussing that the Kang Mansion bought this and that...
In a few days, the Kang Mansion caused some waves in the capital for the purchase of the wedding. Many people were talking about this matter with relish, praising the King Kang for his intentions and saying that the future Princess Kang is blessed.
For Gu Yunhao and their wedding, Wang Wang Chuyou did his best, hoping that everything in the wedding would be perfect and do everything by himself.
In addition to the exception of the prince provided by the Silijian, he also bought additional betrothal gifts, including repairing new houses, rebuilding furniture, decorating auditoriums, preparing invitations, etc. He was busy every day. The wedding time was too hasty, and he only had one month to prepare.
It was not until Shoufu Xiao personally visited the royal palace that Chu You remembered that he had forgotten his cousin Yuan Zhe.
Shoufu Xiao looked at Chu You with a little bit of powerlessness. This powerlessness was suppressed for a long time, and today he finally couldn't help but scold him.
"Prince, after all these matters, the aristocratic family suffered heavy casualties. All the direct and sideline children of the Feng family in the court were removed from office and would never be hired."
"And the Yu family is even more miserable, and the Jinyiwei has gone to Yuzhou to get people."
"And Yuan Zhe...hey!"
"At this moment, prince, don't think about how to fight back against the eldest prince, but you still..." He still has the leisure to prepare for the wedding?!
On weekdays, Shoufu Xiao has always respected Chu You very much. This is the first time he has spoken to Chu You in such a stern tone. He is really angry that he is not fighting.
Thinking of Yuan Zhe who was under house arrest in the imperial prison, Chu You felt somewhat guilty. So, on the morning court the next day, King Kang Chu You invited him to the palace to visit Empress Dowager Yuan in front of the civil and military officials of the court, and his words were concise.
"The emperor brother, my brother is about to get married, but I didn't personally report it to the empress dowager. It's because I'm uneasy."
"If it is inconvenient for me to enter the palace, it is better to let my future princess enter the palace to visit the queen mother. What do the emperor think?"
Under Chu You's cold eyes, the emperor agreed with a smile: "The Seventh Emperor's brother is full of filial piety, I agree."
"I thanked the emperor brother."
Chu You stood in the center of the Golden Palace with a straight figure, and bowed casually to the emperor on the Golden Palace throne, and the casualness was revealed from his every move.
He knew that his emperor brother was a hypocritical person and wanted to be a benevolent monarch who had a reputation in history. As long as he used the grounds of filial piety, the emperor brother would not dare to break up with him in public.
With the goal achieved, Chu You quietly retreated to his position, thinking to take Gu Yun'an to visit the Queen Mother at Shouning Palace.
As soon as Chu You retreated, he saw a middle-aged eunuch next to him suddenly walked to the emperor's dragon throne, leaned over and said to the emperor with a hurried voice.
The emperor's face changed slightly and he said lightly: "Xuan."
All the civil and military officials in the court could hear this clearly, knowing that someone should have asked to see the emperor.
Who will it be?!
The ministers looked at each other, and even the censors who were originally going to report the book were temporarily suspended.
After a while, Baili Yin, wearing a purple waist-hugging Hu robe and a rhinoceros horn belt, walked into the Golden Palace with his head held high in the eyes of all civil and military officials.
All the ministers were surprised.
Baili Yin came to the Kingdom of Yue to send their great scenery. When he came to the Golden Palace, he naturally represented the attitude of the entire Kingdom of Yue.
This was the second time Baili Yin went to the Golden Palace, and the first time was the first day he came to the capital.
The second time is today.
Baili Yin had a slutty smile on his rough and handsome face. He walked calmly to a place only ten steps away from the emperor, holding his head up and forming a sharp contrast with the respectful ministers around him.
"See Your Majesty Emperor Dajing." When he saluted the emperor, he did not even bow his head, but looked at the emperor with his chin and said loudly, "I am officially proposing to marry your country on behalf of the saints of our country. Our country is willing to grant the eighth princess Emperor Ximing to the eldest prince of your country."
The ministers present were all uproared and immediately became riot.
The emperor looked down at Baili Yin with a slightly deeper look, and his right hand suddenly grabbed the handrail of the throne.
Baili Yin did not care about the reactions of other court officials around him, and looked at the emperor in front of him with a confident and arrogant smile on his lips, and then said: "In this way, Jing and Yue can also make the Qin and Jin love each other!"
He was just a righteous saying. From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at Chu Yi who was standing on the right side of the emperor quietly, and the curve of his mouth rose a little further: To put it bluntly, the reason why Chu Yi refused to marry his eighth princess was just because he couldn't bear to part with the second girl of the Gu family.
Yes, the second girl of the Gu family is indeed the only beauty she has seen in her life. This interesting beauty is much rarer than that of a beautiful empty shell.
Even he is not willing to give up on others like this.
Baili Yin's words made many officials present motivated.
Indeed, if the two countries can marry, they can change from enemy countries to in-laws. At least, peace between the two countries can be maintained in the next few decades and avoid war and suffering from the people.
Most of the officials turned their attention to the eldest prince Chu Yi who was standing on the right side of the emperor.
The emperor slowly glanced around everyone below, put the expressions of everyone in his eyes, and replied in a faint tone: "I have decided on the marriage of the third prince Baili, the eldest prince."
"I have understood the proposal of the third prince Baili."
The emperor's firm eyes met Baili Yin below, his tone was neither light nor heavy, but it was a rare force and could not be doubted.
Baili Yin's cynical face still smiles on his usual occasions, and his eyes were sharply looking at the emperor.
The matters of the royal family in Jing Kingdom are no secret. The emperor and Chu Yi and his son are in a difficult situation. King Kang is ambitious and has abundant family background. He also devotes all his family members to support King Kang. The emperor and his son are full of dangers.
The emperor has ascended the throne for a year, and has not yet settled in this country.
The marriage between the two countries is of great benefit to Emperor Dajing and can help Emperor Dajing stabilize the throne.
Yu Gong, he could naturally ask Jingguo to use the drawings of the new flintlock rifle as a betrothal gift to the Emperor Ji, which should have made Emperor Dajing more moved than the original conditions;
In private, Miss Gu's heart was disappointed and she had the opportunity to be in love with a beauty.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Dajing was so short-sighted and refused!
"His Majesty the Emperor has considered it clearly?" Baili Yin asked slowly.
Even though he did not swear his beard or glar, no one could tell his unhappiness from his deliberate slowdown.
"I speak the words of gold." The emperor gently brushed off his sleeves, and the previous sentence was loud and the latter words became perfunctory and indifferent. "My scenery is beautiful, the mountains and rivers are magnificent, and it is different from the Yue Kingdom. It is rare for the third prince of Baili to come to my great scenery. I should have fun everywhere to live up to this journey of thousands of miles."
Baili Yin's brown pupils gradually covered with a layer of frost, and his smile on the corners of his lips gradually restrained.
Eight years ago, Emperor Xuanren of Jing Kingdom Chu Luo asked Yue Kingdom to negotiate peace and voluntarily proposed to send Chu Yi to Yue Kingdom as a proton.
Now, the Yue Kingdom is willing to send Emperor Ji to the two countries, Qin and Jin, but they are not happy about Jing Kingdom?!
No matter what kind of dark tide arose in Baili Yin's heart, he still did not lose his composure. He gradually changed his temperament, no longer laughed and played, but was cold and arrogant, releasing a sinister aura like an owl.
In the Golden Palace, the needles can be heard.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the third prince of Yue Kingdom.
Baili Yin suppressed the huge waves in his heart. After being furious, he calmed down instead. A confident smile appeared on his handsome and rough face, and he said loudly:
"Your country has a flintlock spear, and Wuyue country also has hundreds of thousands of war horses and horses."
"The two countries of Yue and Jing are neighbors across the river. If they have the favor of Qin and Jin, our country can help your country take over the Rong tribe in the northwest."
His voice was louder and full of energy.
As soon as this condition came out, the hearts of the civil and military officials in the court were also shocked and they took a breath together.
Many officials were a little excited by his words: Taizu was wise and powerful, and opened up territory, while the late emperor could only barely defend his career. If Dajing could expand his territory and achieve a prosperous era of virtue, then these officials would be equally honored.
Baili Yin smiled even louder, his eyes were as sharp as a torch, and he continued, "My Yue Kingdom is very sincere!"
This sentence was said gently, but the next moment, he changed his tone again, and his tone was a bit sharper: "But Wu Yue Kingdom won't be afraid of anyone."
The last sentence was almost word by word, decisive, and the threatening meaning was beyond words. The air in the Golden Palace suddenly became cold, as if it had instantly changed from spring to winter, and the coldness filled the air.
In the eight years ahead, the Vietnam War and the disastrous defeat of Jingguo is vividly remembered.
Yue Kingdom was in Yangzhou. If the late emperor had not taken the initiative to seek peace, he would have paid compensation, and ceded the Huangshuiyang sea area, and sent Chu Yi to Yue Kingdom as a proton, otherwise, I would have known how the battle would end. I am afraid that the Yue Kingdom's army would have gone north long ago!
Thinking of these past events, some officials have become afraid of war and exchanged eyes in groups of three or three.
A faint sense of uneasiness spread in the air.
A clear and clear male voice suddenly broke the quiet air: "I heard that the saint of Yue Kingdom was seriously ill on the bed, and the Lord Xiahou of Tianyuansi was ordered to supervise the country."
The young man's voice was neither fast nor slow, and his tone was gentle and delicate, as if a warm spring breeze blew into the near-freezing Golden Palace.
Baili Yin suddenly turned his head and looked at Chu Yi standing on the right side of the emperor, his eyes widening slightly.
Chu Yi had a faint smile on the corner of his lips, calmly sighing, "The prince of your country is in a difficult situation now!"
What he sighed in his words was that Yue Kingdom was Baili Zhao, but as the prince, he had no right to supervise the country.
In fact, it is a satirizing Baili Yin: The saint of Yue Kingdom is seriously ill, and now the domestic worries of Yue Kingdom are not settled, and he cannot protect himself. He still wants to send troops to Jingguo like he did eight years ago?!
"..." Baili Yin almost used all his strength to barely stabilize his emotions and did not lose his composure, but his heart sank.
How could Chu Yi know that the saint is sick!?
Last twelfth lunar month, the saint pretended to be sick to test the princes, but who would have thought that in just one month, the fake disease turned into a real disease, and the saint's dragon body became worse and worse.
He also learned about it after receiving a secret letter from the prince and the prince the day before yesterday. The letter said that after the saint's imperial edict ordered Xiahou Qing to supervise the country, he fell down and has not yet woken up.
The situation of the prince and the prince is really difficult now, so Baili Yin has to get a new flintlock rifle, which will make the prince and the prince and the prince be like a tiger.
To be continued...
