"Your affairs have nothing to do with me." Yun Zishu said sternly, "Miss Situ had better not interfere in my affairs, otherwise she will bring shame on herself."
After saying this, she said: "Is the Imperial Concubine still shopping?"
Situ Xue rolled her sleeves coldly, turned and left.
Yun Zishu smiled faintly. No matter what, no one could change the outcome of the marriage. She knew that her father attached great importance to the marriage. Just Dongyou's increase of 150,000 troops was enough to make him give up all resistance.
But even though Yun Zishu had already acquiesced in the marriage, she still negotiated the terms that should be negotiated. After the palace banquet, Situ Xue entered the emperor's harem and was given a residence in the Yaohua Palace.
Yun Zishu was summoned by the emperor to the imperial study.
The imperial study is an important place. Unless there are special reasons, concubines and princesses are rarely allowed to enter this place. However, recently, Yun Zishu seems to have formed an indissoluble bond with the imperial study, and she has been in and out of this place one after another in a short period of time.
.
"My sons and ministers are here to see my father." Yun Zishu knelt down and saluted, "Long live my father."
Emperor Zhaoming sat on the chair behind the imperial desk and raised his hand to look at the daughter who disgusted him. His expression was not at all the loving and gentle look when entertaining envoys, but the majestic indifference of an emperor.
In fact, he was not very happy about the marriage, especially since the person Dongyou wanted to marry was Yun Zishu. This result did not bring him much joy. If it were not for the fear of war,
There was no way he would agree to let Yun Zishu marry Dongyou.
But now I think about it, just marry her, marry her far away, out of sight and out of mind, it would be best if you never have the chance to meet her again in this life.
"Zishu." Emperor Zhaoming said in a calm and majestic tone, "What do you think about the marriage with Dongyou?"
Yun Zishu narrowed her eyes and was silent for a moment: "I don't want to go."
Emperor Zhaoming's expression changed: "What did you say?"
"My son doesn't want to marry to Dongyou."
Emperor Zhaoming looked slightly angry, but restrained his emotions: "Why?"
"Today in the Imperial Garden, Concubine De said that my situation will not be very good after marrying to Dongyou. I will be single and weak and will be discriminated against by everyone." Yun Zishu lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, her voice was so calm that no emotion could be heard.
Fluctuation, "She said that the Dongyou royal family looks down on Dayong at all, and His Highness the Crown Prince can choose a noble daughter from their Dongyou Zhenger family to be the crown prince, and there is no need to marry a foreign princess like Er Chen."
When Emperor Zhaoming heard this, his expression was a little uncertain: "Did she really say that?"
"yes."
The emperor picked up the teacup and sipped the tea silently, feeling unhappy in his heart.
Dongyou looks down on Dayong?
What right do they have to look down on Dayong? Dayong’s economy is not as good as theirs, or their cavalry is not as good as theirs?
Emperor Zhaoming said calmly: "The marriage is inevitable and there is no room for change."
Yun Zishu said in a calm tone: "Father, you can let Eighth Sister go."
"They designated the princess." Emperor Zhaoming was dissatisfied, "Besides, can this kind of thing be changed at will?"
"Didn't my father always want to make Concubine Wu the queen?" Yun Zishu said in a calm voice, "Now is an opportunity."
Emperor Zhaoming was furious: "Zishu, you are so presumptuous!"
Yun Zishu raised her eyes, her eyes calm: "I don't know what words I said made my father angry."
Emperor Zhaoming said coldly: "Are you dissatisfied with me?"
"No." Yun Zishu's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, "I just think that now is the best time to make Wu Guifei the queen. As long as Wu Guifei becomes the queen, the Eighth Emperor Sister will be the legitimate daughter of the royal family. She marries Dongyou
Justified."
"I will keep the position of queen for your mother. You can just prepare for the marriage with peace of mind."
Yun Zishu narrowed her eyes and said: "As long as my father agrees to let the Eighth Sister marry, I can ask the Queen Mother to agree to let Concubine Wu become the queen."
Emperor Zhaoming's face showed impatience: "I have already said that Dongyou wants to be the princess by name."
Yun Zishu insisted: "As long as the imperial concubine is promoted to queen, Yun Zirou will also be the legitimate princess."
Emperor Zhaoming's face darkened and he stared at her for a long time without saying a word: "Why don't you want to get married?"
"The people of the Dongyou royal family are not kind, and I don't want to go there." Yun Zishu said calmly, "That place may be a place of death for me."
"So you just let Zirou go?"
"She has the support of her father and the noble concubine, so the Dongyou royal family does not dare to bully her."
"If you go for a marriage, I will support you." Emperor Zhaoming said coldly, "And you should know that your reputation in Dayong has been ruined now, and no ordinary family member will be willing to marry you."
"My son can remain unmarried for the rest of his life."
"Absurd." Emperor Zhaoming retorted coldly and angrily, "How can you, a girl like you, stay unmarried for the rest of your life?"
Yun Zishu lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, looking like she would rather die than surrender.
Emperor Zhaoming took a deep breath and said, "I will discuss this matter with Concubine De and listen to her opinion. You go back first. Don't take Concubine De's words too seriously."
"My son, please retire."
Turning around and leaving the imperial study, Yun Zishu raised her eyes slightly and looked at Sicang, who was standing not far away. She raised her lips in a subtle smile, saying nothing.
The two of them left the palace and returned to the princess's mansion. Yun Zishu said, "Sicang, I want Feng Ci to send me to Dongyou."
Sicang seemed to understand what she meant and nodded slowly: "There is Qihuang Mountain at the junction of Dayong and Dongyou. The vast land at the foot of the mountain is suitable for military training."
"The one who knows me is Sicang." Yun Zishu joked, "It's rare that you are not jealous. You immediately thought of what I was thinking."
"This is called telepathy." Sicang held her hand, "Besides, I know how to measure."
"The border troops are approaching the border. Just in case, my father must send a general who can control the situation to the border." Yun Zishu's steps were slow and her voice was calm, "Ask Uncle Feng Guo to go to the border to control the situation."
, Feng Ci escorted me to Dongyou to train soldiers and horses at the foot of Qihuang Mountain. I can select a group of young and strong soldiers from the border military camp for training."
The Feng Family Army is the Feng Family Army, and the person in charge of the military power of the Feng Family Army is Feng Guojiu. Now that Feng Guojiu is old, Feng Ci's hasty takeover of the military power will not go well, and there is not enough legitimate reason. Feng Ci does not
Opportunity to take over the military power of the Feng Family Army.
Going to the border is different.
Feng Ci can select a group of young soldiers, start from scratch, eat with them, live with them, train with them, cultivate comradeship with them, and let the soldiers see his ability and courage.
A noble military general trained by a family of military generals, in addition to being literary and strategic, also possesses various advantages such as cultivation, mind, vision, and structure. They will surely be able to conquer the generals on their own and create a group of Dayong's most elite cavalry.
"But it takes a lot of money to train elites." Yun Zishu pondered, "I have to find a way to get money."
Si Cang hummed: "There's a lot of money."
"I don't need your money." Yun Zishu said, "Let the Ji family come up with the money."
Sicang remained silent.
"The reason why the Ji family was able to grow and expand their business in those years was because of the protection of the Queen Mother and the Feng family. Now that the Queen Mother has passed away, the Ji family has used some money to raise troops, which can be regarded as a contribution to protecting the family and the country." Yun said.
Zishu's tone was calm, "I want to know, if the Ji family uses money to raise soldiers, what will my father's reaction be when he finds out?"
