Chapter 65 The Sacred Heart Is Unfathomable
The imperial study room was quiet.
The ministers who discussed the matter include Prime Minister Gu, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Personnel, Censor Chen, Censor Wang and other ministers.
At this time, all the ministers had their own thoughts and couldn't figure out what happened for a moment, which made the emperor so angry.
Emperor Zhaocheng faced cold frost: "The empress of Jin and several princes have already handed over the documents, and the Ministry of Rites is ready to treat guests. It is related to diplomatic relations between the two countries. The palace banquet must be grand and comprehensive, and no mistakes are allowed."
The Minister of Rites bowed to his order: "I obey the order."
After the words came to an end, he saluted carefully and said he was leaving.
Emperor Zhaocheng stared silently at the memorial that he had thrown aside, leaning back without saying a word, leaning back on the dragon throne. Thinking of the distinguished guest who was about to arrive in Mu Country, his eyebrows and eyes couldn't help but sink again.
How could Yan Li offend so many people recently?
Jiang Jingyue was already married to the prince as she wished, but she still opposed Yan Li everywhere. How did Grand Tutor Jiang discipline her descendants?
And Princess Yu.
Emperor Zhaocheng suddenly remembered something, his eyes fell on Prime Minister Gu in front of him, and his tone was not distinguished by joy and anger: "Gu Xiang."
Prime Minister Gu was shocked and quickly bowed and replied: "I am here."
"Your daughter is not young, right?" Emperor Zhaocheng frowned slightly, "Have you ever decided on a marriage?"
Prime Minister Gu's heart skipped a beat and replied cautiously: "Report to the emperor, the little girl has never decided on a marriage."
Emperor Zhaocheng nodded and pondered: "My sixth son is already full of twenties this year and is not married yet. How about betrothing your daughter to him?"
Prime Minister Gu knelt down: "Emperor, I..."
"What?" Emperor Zhaocheng looked at him, with a little more pressure in his eyes, "My son is not worthy of your daughter?"
Prime Minister Gu's heart sank and hurriedly bowed and said, "I dare not, I must not!"
"Since that's the case, this matter is settled." Emperor Zhaocheng's tone was calm, but he could not refuse, "The marriage is set after the prince gets married. After you go home today, you can ask Mrs. Gu to prepare for the marriage. I will issue the award. A marriage certificate will be granted only on a date and the wedding will be held at any time.”
Prime Minister Gu was like falling into an ice cellar for a moment. His sister was Concubine Gu. The Gu family has always supported the fourth prince under the Concubine.
But the emperor gave his only daughter to the Sixth Prince.
It is said that the Sacred Heart is unpredictable.
This is not a dilemma? He knew with his eyes closed that the emperor deliberately wanted him to face a dilemma.
The emperor's mind has never been able to resist.
Prime Minister Gu kowtowed slowly: "I obey the order."
"Let's retreat." Emperor Zhaocheng waved his hand, and his mood was obviously not good. "Let me be alone."
The ministers saluted one after another: "I will leave."
Emperor Zhaocheng raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. He leaned against the dragon throne alone, his eyebrows and eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Xiao Changhai came back after finishing the matter, quietly walked behind him and pressed his eyebrows with both hands: "Are the emperor too tired recently? Should he rest or take a rest, take good care of the dragon body so that he can govern the country and the ministers can feel at ease. .”
Emperor Zhaocheng closed his eyes: "Xiao Changhai."
"The slave is here."
"Recently, the undercurrents among women from the Imperial City Family?"
Xiao Changhai was shocked, "How could the Emperor..."
"It seems you heard a little wind, too." Emperor Zhaocheng opened his eyes and turned to look at him, "Tell me."
"I dare not deceive the emperor. I have indeed heard some rumors recently." Xiao Changhai bowed his head respectfully and replied, "The things that are broken in the palace occasionally talk about, and the slave has already punished them."
Emperor Zhaocheng asked, "What have they all talked about?"
Xiao Changhai thought about it and answered truthfully: "Since Princess Nanyang was given a marriage to the Ninth Prince, there have been many gossips outside. Women from aristocratic families may not like Princess Nanyang very much. They insisted that she is not a golden branch and jade leaf, but just a fake princess enthroned by the emperor.
It is said that the Nanyang Princess relies on her status as a princess to show off her power and be arrogant..."
"Fake Princess?" Emperor Zhaocheng's face darkened, "The princess I personally issued the order to be a fake princess? Then are the generals I enfeoffed are fake generals? Those first-class imperial edicts are also fake?"
"Sister should die!" Xiao Changhai knelt down and quickly slapped himself in both mouths, "Don't calm down."
The palace servants knelt down one after another: "Don't calm down!"
"My imperial edict is fake in their eyes? No wonder they still don't take her seriously after Yan Li was named a princess. So that's it! I'm really eye-opening!" Emperor Zhaocheng sneered coldly.
, I can see that I was extremely angry, "What occasions have Yan Li been to recently?"
"Princess Nanyang has been to the Prime Minister's Mansion some time ago, and was invited by the Gu family's daughter." Xiao Changhai lowered his head and reported the facts in detail in a vain manner, not daring to lie and hide it. "I heard that the Eighth Princess also went there that day, Prince Yu's Mansion.
He bullied Princess Nanyang in person with the two princesses of Prince Xian's mansion, and poured tea on Princess Nanyang's face-"
"It's simply outrageous!" Emperor Zhaocheng slapped the case and was furious, "Why didn't you say these things earlier?"
Xiao Changhai knelt on the ground tremblingly: "I originally thought it was all small matters between my daughter's family, so I didn't dare to talk too much, but Princess Nanyang might have been so angry that she slapped Princess Muya in the face. Princess Yu probably
He was so resentful that he invited Princess Nanyang to Prince Yu's mansion, saying that he wanted to apologize in person..."
"Apologize in person!" Emperor Zhaocheng said angrily, "The way to apologize in person is to plot against a innocent girl and try to let her be a concubine for Mu Wenxuan?"
Xiao Changhai knelt on the ground, afraid to speak out.
"I am so indulging them!" Emperor Zhaocheng took a deep breath, his voice as cold as ice, "And the Jiang family's legitimate daughter, I really admire the queen and the prince's eyes. I don't want it. I have to ask for it.
Jiang Jingyue is her wife! I will let them know what kind of consequences they will end up marrying a woman with misconduct as their wife!"
Xiao Changhai didn't dare to speak.
Emperor Zhaocheng was angry. After calming down, he thought of the cold eyes that Yan Li had recently received, and he knew it had something to do with Mu Cang.
The Gu family's daughter is arrogant and arrogant. No other men look down on her, so she falls in love with the Ninth Prince Mu Cang.
Emperor Zhaocheng is not a fool. How could he not understand the reason why the Gu family’s legitimate daughter was not engaged at the age of sixteen?
In addition to Gu Anxian's liking to Mu Cang, I'm afraid Prime Minister Gu himself is waiting for the benefits that can bring to marrying the Ninth Prince. The 300,000 military power is enough even if he directly supports Concubine Gu's son as the throne.
Thinking of this, Emperor Zhaocheng closed his eyes coldly: "Transfer my will. The princesses are not allowed to run outside the palace soon. If anyone commits again, I will never let you go lightly!"
"yes."
"I have already given the marriage to the sixth prince the daughter of the Gu family. You will go and write an order later. One is sent to the Gu family and one is given to the sixth prince." Emperor Zhaocheng finished speaking and added, "The wedding date is set at five."
In the middle of the month, let Concubine Shu prepare well and not make any mistakes.”
