Chapter 116: Di Shun Begs to Marry Xiao Yuner, Princess of Great Wei Pingyang
"Crown Prince Di Shun, please enter the palace!"
An official from the Ministry of Rites stopped when he saw Di Shun and Gu Louyao and hurriedly called out.
Di Shun was stunned, then nodded and asked, "Does this master, Prince Qin Yu and Prince Xiao Nan often go to the Fangsi on weekdays?"
The officials of the Ministry of Rites nodded naturally, "It should not be said that it is often, but that it should be said that they go every day. The little prince and the prince are either in the teachings or on the way to the teachings."
Di Shun was stunned and asked in confusion: "Does His Majesty Emperor Wei ignore it?"
The official of the Ministry of Rites smiled, "Your Majesty said, whoever can make great contributions one after another can go there. The little prince of Qin relies on his ability, otherwise how could he be so unscrupulous based on His Majesty's preference alone?"
Di Shun frowned slightly, and then followed the officials of the Ministry of Rites to the hall.
He now understands that Qin Yu is not only capable, but also has an extremely high status in Jinling City.
Yong'an Palace.
Emperor Wei was filled with joy on his face and sat upright on the dragon throne.
The civil and military officials were divided into two rows of court.
"Crown Prince Di Shun of Liba Kingdom meets His Majesty, and His Majesty is the holy man of Jin'an."
"Gu Louyao, a minister of Liba, met His Majesty, and His Majesty is the holy man of Jin'an."
Di Shun and Gu Louyao stood under the imperial steps, bowing respectfully and saying respectfully.
Because the Fan family was confiscated, Qingzhou returned.
Di Shun and Gu Louyao have changed their attitude towards the Great Wei.
All the original plans were overturned.
There is no way out, the partner Fan Junliang and his family have all been sent to prison by Qin Yu.
They dare not be involved in the Fan family anymore.
Emperor Wei waved his hand and smiled and said, "I am very pleased that Prince Di Shun can come to Jinling City in person."
As he said that, he asked again: "I wonder if King Liba is in good health?"
Di Shun bowed and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern. Your father is in good health. This time, Di Shun not only brought his father's greetings to Your Majesty, but also had a reluctant request. I hope Your Majesty will agree."
He has sufficient decision-making power when he comes to Dawei this time.
Now, King Liba is old and Di Shun, as the prince, has been in the past or two years since he obtained the power of state supervision.
King Liba has left many government affairs to him.
Emperor Wei's face did not change his expression and asked, "My Great Wei and Liba Kingdom have always been in good terms. What does Prince Di Shun have to say, but it's okay to say it."
Di Shun bowed deeply with sincerity and said, "Di Shun asked to marry Princess Pingyang of the Great Wei Dynasty, Xiao Yun'er, from then on, I, Liba, and the Great Wei Kingdom, will never rebel."
"Di Shun's love for Princess Pingyang is a reflection of the sun and the moon, and I hope your Majesty will allow you to give it."
After these words, all officials were in an uproar.
"What? Li Baguo wants to marry my Princess Pingyang of the Great Wei? This request is really incredible."
"It's not impossible to marry a married woman. In this way, we can be sure that Liba Kingdom has really defected to my Great Wei."
"Liba Kingdom is just a small vassal state. What qualifications do they have to ask for my Princess Pingyang of the Great Wei? This is clearly a robbery!"
"But the East Xinjiang of the Great Wei Dynasty is currently the attitude of Liba. If Liba is willing to form an alliance with the Great Wei, the King of Qi will no longer be able to make trouble."
......
The civil and military officials whispered, talking a lot, and expressing their opinions.
Some agree.
There are also many people who say that Liba Country is a toad that wants to eat swan meat.
Emperor Wei frowned. He didn't expect that Di Shun came up and made such a request.
Di Shun's meaning is very clear.
As long as he promised to betroth Xiao Yun'er to Di Shun, Liba Kingdom will definitely re-align with the Great Wei.
The marriage has been happening since ancient times.
This is a common political marriage between rulers of the Central Plains dynasty and foreign tribes.
This is a political means, for political purposes.
Since ancient times, people all over the world have also had their own opinions on marriage.
A kind of denial, believing that marriage is a humiliating compromise.
Another affirmation is that marriage is a good way to maintain friendly relations between the two countries.
Emperor Wei had no big idea about this.
Because since ancient times, marriage has been happening in all dynasties.
Even now, the Ulu tribe on the northern grasslands and the barbarian tribes in the southern part still have the bloodline of the princess of the Central Plains.
Now the Wei Dynasty has serious internal and external troubles.
Although the inner thief Fan Junliang had just been eliminated, he persuaded the surrender of the Qingzhou Grand Governor Miao Xiangyang.
But the King of Qi who had aroused a strange intention in the east; the General of the border who could not lose his power in the northwest; the King of the Different surname who had self-respecting troops in the south, etc., all caused great headaches for Emperor Wei.
In addition, the brave and warlike Uluo tribe in the north, the strong Western soldiers and horses in the west, and the barbarians in the south, etc., have exhausted the Wei Emperor.
Faced with such an internal and external troubles.
Emperor Wei was so anxious to stabilize the situation in the East Xinjiang.
He was eager to bring about a turning point in the situation in the East Xinjiang, and Liba was the key point.
Liba Kingdom is in the northeast of Pingzhou and can completely block the retreat between Pingzhou and Dongzhou.
Seeing that Emperor Wei didn't say anything.
Di Shun was not in a hurry either. The current situation was the best time for him to take advantage of the situation.
If the Great Wei rises strongly, the vassal state will not have the same face as the Great Wei.
a long time.
Emperor Wei looked at Di Shun, his eyes lowered, "Crown Prince Di Shun, are you sincerely asking for my precious daughter Xiao Yun'er?"
Di Shun hurriedly bowed and said, "On your majesty, of course it's sincere. Di Shun has long admired Princess Pingyang for a long time. If she could marry Princess Pingyang, her father would directly announce Princess Pingyang as my princess of Liba Country."
After these words, the hall was in an uproar again.
"Crown Princess? Now King Liba is already old, and Prince Di Shun ascended the throne is all in front of him. Then Princess Pingyang is the quasi-eminent? If this is the case, it would be acceptable."
"It seems that Prince Di Shun came with sincerity this time. If so, the overall situation in the East Xinjiang has been decided."
"I don't think it's necessary. A small Liba Kingdom is not qualified to marry my Princess of the Great Wei. He wants to be on an equal footing with the Great Wei."
"If Prince Di Shun is so sincere, this matter is not unacceptable. The future queen of Liba Kingdom is my Princess of the Great Wei, so there is nothing wrong with that."
......
Di Shun's statement that Xiao Yun'er was made the crown princess changed his attitude to a large number of court officials.
In such a situation of internal and external troubles, the Wei Dynasty was unable to adopt strong military strength to resist. A gentle and low-cost marriage was a good choice.
Besides, Di Shun showed great sincerity.
Emperor Wei didn't expect that Di Shun could say this.
Xiao Yun'er is the crown princess of Liba and the future queen, so she is not wronged.
Paused.
Emperor Wei did not agree immediately, and then pondered: "I have already recorded the marriage matter, but I cannot answer you immediately. After all, I need to carefully consider such a major event."
He thought this matter was good, but he still wanted to seek Xiao Yuner's opinion.
Although Emperor Wei was the Emperor of the Great Wei, he still respected and loved his daughter very much.
Di Shun bowed and said, "Di Shun understands."
He knew that Emperor Wei did not refuse now, so the matter was already halfway.
He was confident that he would marry Princess Pingyang Xiao Yun'er back.
Then, Emperor Wei and Di Shun entered the next topic.
