Seeing that Ying Yue was silent, Ying Duo was no longer in the mood to eat. He put down Kuai Zi and looked at his stunning daughter. He persuaded her with sincerity: "When Zhao Ji proposed marriage, my father asked you if you were willing.
You said you didn't like him."
"What my daughter said at the time was that he didn't look like a good person." Yingyue corrected Yingduo. Yingduo shook his head: "My father rejected you because you were too young... Later, Qi State also sent
You are not willing to ask someone to propose marriage to the prince..."
"Just tell me, do I have any vision? If I had married my daughter back then, she would have been dead for several years now." Speaking of this period of history, Ying Yue still feels a little proud.
Her face is inherently good-looking, and because of her geographical location, it has a bit of a peculiar charm. Because she looks like her mother, with black hair and bright teeth, she is simply a beauty in the world.
If we only talk about beauty, the Yingyue in front of us can definitely be regarded as a beauty and a disaster. Perhaps only Sophia can compare with her.
In terms of temperament, the two of them are completely different: Sofia is very noble because she has always been in power and has a family worth hundreds of millions, while the Yingyue in front of her has a little bit of heroism somehow.
This may be due to the fact that she lived in Qin and inherited some of the fierce and warlike character of the Qin royal family.
Yingduo sighed again, his daughter was so pampered by him that he didn't say anything big.
However, he also had to admit that his daughter, whether because of good vision or good luck, had indeed avoided many big pitfalls: Zhao Ji, the prince of the Dahua Empire, really didn't look very good now; several princes of Qi State
The grass on the grave is already growing... The prince of Chu State, Xiong Fei, has always been a hostage. At that time, he was not even qualified to come to Qin State to propose marriage, so the princess of Qin State this month has been single until the age of 25...
In the past, this age was simply appalling: a princess should basically get married when she was fifteen or sixteen, how could it be delayed until she was 25?
In fact, there are also reasons for the rise of the Tang State: the Tang Empire first destroyed the Zheng State, then swallowed up the Qi State, and then fought fiercely with the Great China Empire and the allied forces of Chu, Qin and other countries. For seven or eight years, the situation was stirred up, and the princess of Qin State
The marriage was thus postponed.
"Then this time, your father asked you to go to the Tang Kingdom and marry...to marry the contemporary hero Tang Emperor, why are you still unwilling?" Ying Duo looked at his daughter, his eyes full of anticipation.
Yes, Ying Duo has been very worried recently. He has been worried that the Tang Empire will blame him, so he came up with the idea of getting married.
On the one hand, no one likes my daughter, so choosing a son-in-law is difficult; on the other hand, she is already 25 years old, and there is really no advantage in terms of age.
However, if the emperor of the Tang Empire can really marry the princess of Qin, then at least there will be a link to maintain the relationship between the two countries, and the Tang Empire will not suddenly fall out.
The idea is good, but it also depends on the specific operation: although my daughter is smart, she has been spoiled by me. If she cannot marry happily, she may cause some trouble.
That's why he discussed it with his daughter first and tried to get her to marry him willingly.
Seeing his daughter lowering her head and not speaking, Ying Duo began to persuade her again: "The Qin State is currently suffering from internal and external troubles, and it relies on the support of the Tang Empire to survive..." He presented the facts and reasoned, and talked about
Qin's recent series of transgressions also brought up his various concerns.
He hoped that his daughter could represent Qin to ease the relationship between the two countries and shoulder the responsibility of a princess.
When it came to the point of intense love, Yingduo even shed tears and acted a sad and helpless old father to the point of perfection: "If there is any other way, I don't want to gamble with your happiness in marriage..."
Yingyue raised her head, her eyes filled with tears: "Father... daughter... daughter knows. My daughter is willing to follow father's arrangements..."
"Yue'er!" Ying Duo was overjoyed, wiped the tears on his face, sighed and continued: "If you have any request, just tell my father... I will definitely help you do it!" Seeing her daughter
Having agreed to this matter, Yingduo naturally started to make a promise - money and everything else were trivial matters, and as long as his daughter was willing to cooperate, everything would be easy to discuss.
As expected, Yingyue was not polite and asked for a large sum of money, thousands of guards, and various dowries.
According to Ying Yue, this can show the importance Qin attaches to this matter and its determination to promote it.
Despite the pain, Yingduo still agreed to his daughter's request, even gritted his teeth and added something: just like Yingyue said, if it is not graceful and dignified, the matter itself will lose its meaning.
The final finalized dowry was so high that the Qin State had prepared 3,000 elite guards for the princess, as well as 500 servants and female officials.
In addition, there were 1 ton of gold, 10 tons of silver, and various jewelry and utensils that filled several wagons. After preparing the dowry gift list, Qin State, together with the gift list, sent a princess to be given to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty as a concubine.
A telegram was sent to inform the Tang Empire about the incident.
This shocked Nangong Hong, the head of the diplomatic department, and he rushed to the office of His Majesty Tang Mo, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, with this message.
When Tang Mo heard the news, he instinctively refused: "Are you kidding me? I already have three concubines, what's the point of marrying another one?" If they are really in love, forget it.
, he has never even met the princess of Qin, so what if he just marries her?
What's more, the matter itself doesn't sound reliable: Let's put that silly girl Le'er aside, Alice and You Lin are not fuel-efficient lamps.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Tang Mo even wanted to ask Nangong Hong directly in front of him, if the princess of Qin died inexplicably in the Forbidden City, would it affect his strategy?
Plan... But Nangong Hong was very active on this matter. He even came in person, just to express his attitude as soon as possible and avoid others interfering with Tang Mo's thoughts.
He leaned close to Tang Mo's ear, lowered his voice and expressed his opinion on the matter: "Your Majesty, I think this is a good thing."
"A good thing?" Tang Mo glanced at the other party. Isn't it because Nangong Hong thought that it would be in the country's interest for the emperor to have more concubines?
"Your Majesty, in the Western Continent, the Chinese are respected. If Your Majesty wants to unite people, you always have to think more." Nangong Hong reminded: "Your Majesty's three imperial concubines, two are from the Eastern Continent, and one is from a foreign race.
... Is this in itself a problem?" Tang Mo lowered his eyes and did not immediately answer the question raised by Nangong Hong: The Tang Empire was indeed extremely powerful, but there had always been the Bunas faction and the so-called Chang'an within it.
Departments of open and covert fighting.
Tang Mo is indeed a criminal, and he himself is indeed the so-called
"Chinese", which in a sense allows him to be
"Orthodoxy" exists. But what it represents
The "Chinese" forces are indeed weak in the upper echelons of the Tang Empire. It can be said that, apart from the emperor of the Tang Empire himself, the upper echelons of the Tang Empire are more like outsiders.
Nangong Hong is right. From a certain perspective, marrying a local princess can indeed strengthen the legitimacy and make the rule of the Tang Empire easier to be overthrown.
The "Chinese" circle accepts it. In addition, marrying a local princess can also increase the number of
The proportion of "Chinese" in the upper echelons of the Tang Empire stabilized the increasing number of
"Local officials". You must know that relying on outsiders like the Bunas clan to rule the increasingly vast territory of the Tang Empire has begun to make Tang Mo feel stretched.
These officials need a backbone, or they need to see some
"Promotion window".
"Furthermore, Your Majesty, Qin will have plans no matter what in the future. Having a princess from Qin as a foreshadowing will help us reduce a lot of unnecessary resistance in the process of controlling Qin." Nangong Hong continued to remind us.
"These are all excuses." Tang Mo's face looked better, and he held it in for a long time before uttering this sentence.
There was one sentence he didn't make clear at the end: This excuse must be believed by his women. When the time comes, You Lin and Alice can find some excuses and methods, and they will probably get rid of the princess of Qin who came all the way.
died.
"The interests of the matter have been made clear to His Majesty the Emperor. As for the choice, it depends on Your Majesty...how you choose." Nangong Hong was not fooled. How could he have the courage to interfere with His Majesty the Emperor's family affairs?
Not to mention that Tang Mo, the giant dragon, could eat him if he turned against him one day. Even the few tigresses raised in the dragon's harem... they were not something he could easily offend.
One controls the finance department, almost holding the empire's purse; the other controls the interior ministry, which is the head of the intelligence department and the police... I hope that the Qin princess is bulletproof.
When Nangong Hong walked out of Tang Mo, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered something in a low voice.
If not for myself
As the "Chinese" power grew within the Tang Empire, they didn't have the guts to take care of such nonsense.
