Chapter 173 Promoting a Marriage

Shen Qiujun felt much more at ease after hearing his father's words. The Shen family had both gains and losses in this matter, so they didn't say much and just watched the situation change.

In the past few days, the Sixth Prince did not go to Shen's residence, and the days passed by peacefully, until the Emperor of Qi hosted a banquet in honor of the Northern Barbarian Crown Prince.

Because all the unpleasant things before had been wiped out, the guests and guests at this banquet mingled with each other, sang and danced, and had a great time.

After a while of drunkenness, the prince of the Northern Barbarians offered a glass of wine to the Emperor of Qi and said with a smile: "Princess Changning is about to leave her homeland. I wonder where your majesty will seal her Tangmuyi?"

The smile on Emperor Daqi's face faltered. As a princess, it was normal for him to eat Tangmuyi. However, for a princess who was getting married, Tangmuyi was a bit tricky. He originally wanted to get along like this, but he didn't expect the Northern Barbarian Crown Prince to be the one. Asking this question in front of everyone made it difficult for him to answer for a while.

The prince of the Northern Barbarians had long seen that Da Qi did not want to grant Princess Changning the title of Tangmuyi. After all, the princess was going to the Northern Barbarians, and she might not return to Da Qi in her lifetime. If Da Qi did not grant it, the Northern Barbarians would have no choice but to recognize it. However, He now believed that Da Qi was in the wrong. Since the Emperor of Da Qi had said that he would compensate, he had nothing to be polite about, so he naturally wanted to mention it.

The Northern Man Crown Prince pretended not to notice the Da Qi Emperor's expression, and said with a relaxed smile: "It will be difficult for Princess Changning to return to Ning after leaving Da Qi. In my opinion, it would be better to stay near the border between the two countries." The area is named Tangmuyi for the princess, so that the princess can go to Daqi at any time, so as to relieve the pain of homesickness, and wait for the princess a hundred years later. Naturally, this Tangmuyi will be taken back by your country."

Before the emperor could speak, the sixth prince had already sneered at the side: "It seems that the Northern Barbarians are indeed very poor! When I went to check the princess's trousseau a few days ago, it was really a box full of gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin. These, not to mention the princess alone, plus the servants who are accompanying them, are enough to support them for a lifetime. I am afraid that the princess can even take over the share of the princess's children. Why are you still not satisfied, and come to ask for some fiefdom? Is it possible? If the princess marries a man, will she have to support his family? It seems that the Northern Barbarian monarch is just a freeloader."

Hearing this, Beiman and others were so angry that they opened their eyes wide and glared at the Sixth Prince. The Emperor had already stopped the Sixth Prince and said, "Shut up. You have no right to speak here! If you don't know what is good for you, just go out and forget it."

The Sixth Prince snorted coldly, lowered his head, took a big sip of wine, and said nothing.

The emperor then smiled at the Northern Barbarian Crown Prince and said, "I am a rebellious son who never follows the rules and rules, which makes His Highness laugh."

The sixth prince could not help but sneer again: "No matter how unruly I am, I am still better than some people. I really learned a lot today. When my daughter gets married, how much dowry, land and farm are all the parents' wishes. I really didn’t even see any of them before I ran to the door of my in-laws’ house and pointed out which village I wanted. Together with the whole family, they lived by pointing to the bride’s dowry.”

The emperor was very happy when he heard this. In fact, he wanted to deal with the Northern Barbarians in peace, but the Northern Barbarian prince raised the price and asked the two noble ladies of Qi by name to be widowed by some bullshit general. This made the Emperor feel that he was losing face. make life difficult for.

The current emperor is also a broad-minded person. However, people are always a little petty, so the emperor has great opinions on the Northern Barbarian Crown Prince.

Although the Northern Barbarian Crown Prince took the initiative to cancel the request, the decision was made under the coercion and inducement of the Sixth Prince.

Therefore, the Emperor did not feel wronged as the Northern Barbarian Crown Prince thought, but felt that he did not owe the Northern Barbarians anything at all, so the Northern Barbarian Crown Prince's request was destined to not come true.

Of course, it's also the fault of the Northern Barbarian Crown Prince for being too greedy. He gave the border area to the princess as Tang Muyi, and Da Qi blocked and protected it. What's the point? With the Northern Barbarians having that land as a springboard, wouldn't the northern part of Da Qi be in danger?

To the extreme, and in a few years, the ownership of that land will probably be a problem again.

When the sixth prince finished speaking, the emperor stopped him and stopped him from interfering at will. He said to the Northern Man prince: "You are not a master and don't know the hardships of being a master. Back then, my father and son were able to overthrow the tyranny of the previous dynasty and save the people of the Central Plains.

It relied on many benevolent and righteous people who had the heart to help the world. Since we shared the suffering and the world was peaceful, we naturally wanted to share the wealth and honor. Therefore, the late emperor awarded all the officers and soldiers who followed him one by one. Not only my descendants of the Zhuang family, but also everyone who has

Most of those who have made great contributions have been granted titles and lands, so that none of the princes now have lands. Even those who have been crowned kings only have two or three small villages in their hands. Now you, the lion, open your mouth and divide a piece of land.

If you give Changning the job of Tang Muyi, why don't you make him jealous and make sarcastic remarks?"

The Northern Man Crown Prince was speechless. During this period, he had a good understanding of the situation in Da Qi. He also knew that none of the princes of Da Qi had fiefs, but the princesses who married in Da Qi had Tang Muyi. Now the Emperor of Da Qi is not afraid

The family scandal has been publicized, everything has been divided, and there is no seal, but how can he let it go so easily?

The prince of Beiman calmed down and smiled, showing the example of the Daqi princesses who had married Tang Muyi before, and said: "Other princesses all have Tang Muyi, why did they change the rules when they came to Princess Changning? This is not appropriate.

.”

The sixth prince interjected in a desperate manner: "What does His Highness do in the Northern Barbarians all day? He doesn't know anything about the world. In the past, when the family was rich, it was natural for them to marry off their daughters in glory. Now that the family is poor, could it be the case?

Chengquan's daughter supports her husband's family, young and old, so she gives away everything in the house as a dowry? The Northern Barbarians are said to be tough and strong. I just found out today that the Northern Barbarians are soft-boiled from the inside out. I really

I’m so ashamed for your ancestors.”

The Sixth Prince was mocking the Northern Barbarians one by one for "eating soft rice", but he did not know that in the next few years, he would be named the King of Soft Rice in the capital, because everyone knew that the vicious Sixth Prince, because of his disobedience to the Emperor,

He was almost kicked out by the emperor, so he had to rely on his wife's dowry to support him, so he didn't even dare to sleep with a girl, let alone a concubine. This example shows that if you are not filial to your parents, your life will be very miserable when you get married in the future. It has made the capital

People's filial piety towards their elders has skyrocketed.

When the emperor saw that the sixth prince had stopped talking, he shouted: "If you talk too much, I will drive you out."

Then he turned to the Northern Man Crown Prince and said, "It's really difficult to seal Tang Muyi now. We have to follow the example of the previous princess Tang Muyi and convert it into silver every year and send it over."

The Emperor of Da Qi said so, what else could the Northern Barbarian Crown Prince say? Although the annual amount of silver was in the hands of Da Qi, it was always better than nothing, so he had no choice but to agree with a smile.

During this time, since the Northern Man Crown Prince already knew the situation in Da Qi, he naturally also knew that the Emperor of Da Qi was dissatisfied with the marriage between the sixth prince and the Shen family. Now that he and his son are playing a good role and a bad role, they are cooperating flawlessly.

Prince Man couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

As the Sixth Prince said, no prince who was born in the royal family would not want that position. Naturally, the Sixth Prince also wanted to do so. Now he is just temporarily vassaling the Crown Prince and helping the Crown Prince win over the Shen family. But once he becomes serious, he will be rejected by the Emperor.

, he did not believe that the sixth prince would still be willing to marry the Shen family.

The Northern Man prince smiled and raised his wine glass and said: "Today's banquet should have been a happy one, but the little king shouldn't have talked about state affairs. He deserves to be punished." After that, he drank the wine in one gulp and turned the empty wine glass to it.

Everyone gestured.

The initially stalemate atmosphere suddenly became a little more relaxed. The Northern Barbarians and Da Qi had the eloquent person to smooth things over, and the harmony as before was restored for a while.

The prince of the Northern Barbarians smiled again and said: "Because I was a little unhappy just now, I want to make up for the merit and mention a big happy event here."

After hearing this, everyone looked at the Northern Barbarian Crown Prince in puzzlement. Apart from thinking about how to bring some benefits to the Northern Barbarians, what else could he do, and where could such a happy event come from.

After hearing this, the Emperor of Da Qi felt something in his heart and was about to speak to stop the words. The Prince of Beiman had already said it quickly: "The day before yesterday, His Highness the Sixth Highness told the little king that he had a mandarin alliance with the third lady of the Shen family of the Marquis of Yongning. This is what he said.

It was a happy event, and it happened on the occasion of the marriage between the two countries. It was really something worthy of congratulations. Therefore, Xiao Wang hoped that he could have a glass of wedding wine before welcoming the princess back to the country, which could be regarded as adding good luck to the happiness between the two countries.

"

Everyone present looked at the Sixth Prince. As the Northern Man Crown Prince knew, they could guess that the Emperor did not seem to approve of the Sixth Prince's marriage to the Shen family.

That's fine. The key point is that they are still just verbally engaged. If they really want to get married, they will need three matchmakers and six hires, tidy up the new house, make wedding clothes and furnishings. All of this is very time-consuming. If you don't prepare for it for a year,

If it takes half a year, it will never be completed.

But the Northern Barbarians were about to set off in less than a month. In such a hurry, there was no time to prepare anything. This marriage was so awkward. How could the Sixth Prince suffer such a disadvantage?

The Northern Prince seemed not to understand this. He stood up and left his seat and walked to the Sixth Prince. He took out a piece of jade from his arms and handed it to the Sixth Prince. He smiled and said, "Since I came to Daqi, Your Highness has treated me sincerely.

I have nothing to repay, so I can only take this as a wedding gift for His Highness."

Before the sixth prince could speak, the Northern Man Crown Prince had already forced the gift into his hands and said with a smile: "Since your highness has accepted the congratulatory gift from the little king, don't be stingy with a glass of wedding wine. I'm waiting for your post below."

The Northern Barbarians could not help but glance between the Emperor of Da Qi and the Sixth Prince with schadenfreude, while everyone in Da Qi could not help but feel excited, wanting to see how the Sixth Prince would fight back and shame the Northern Barbarian Crown Prince.

However, the Sixth Prince actually accepted the gift and said with a bright smile: "Thank you very much. I will invite your Highness to come and have a glass of wine."

Most of the Daqi people present were a little stunned. This is not like the Sixth Prince's style of doing things. Could it be that he has already thought of how to deal with the Northern Barbarian Prince, or is planning to keep him in Daqi for a long time? Wouldn't this be true?
