1165. Chapter 1165 Give In
As soon as Murong Zhan came out of Xiuhe Palace, he heard that Song Hongao, the envoy of Qi State, had come to the palace to ask for an audience.
Why did Song Hongao enter the palace? Do you want to talk to him about marrying the princess of Qi after being deposed? Murong Zhan raised his eyebrows in disgust. If this was really the case, he would not be able to help but kill Zhao Yong directly in Kyoto.
"Go to Qianqing Palace." Mo Rongzhan said calmly, and came to Qianqing Palace to see Song Hongao.
When Song Hongao saw Mo Rongzhan's indifference, he knew that he was very unhappy with Zhao Yong's previous proposal to abolish the queen. He didn't say much polite words and directly stated his intention. If Qi and Jin wanted to form an alliance, they needed both countries. Sincerity, Qi State is willing to marry the princess to Jin State and become Jin State's noble concubine. This is a step back for them, and they only hope that the two countries can get the greatest benefits.
Royal concubine? Murong Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Song Hongao, "Song Prince, your prince changes his mind very quickly. Don't you need to ask your emperor's opinion first?"
Song Hongao didn't know that Mo Rongzhan had known Zhao Yong's identity for a long time, "Your Majesty, what our prince means is what the emperor means."
Murong Zhan nodded with a smile, "I know, I will consider the marriage between the two countries."
consider? Song Hongao was surprised. They had already given in. Could it be that Mo Rongzhan still hesitated? You must know that no matter from every aspect, the Qi State is now more powerful than the Jin State. It is already wronged for their Qi State princess to only be a princess. What else does Mo Rongzhan have to be dissatisfied with?
"Your Majesty, don't you want to marry Qi?" Song Hongao asked.
Of course he doesn't want to! He does not want any princess from Qi to be placed in the harem. The princess of Qi is different from other concubines and has a higher status than Yaoyao. He cannot treat him like other concubines, so he does not want a princess to become a noble concubine.
If you have to marry with Qi...
Morongzhan said helplessly, "Can the alliance between Qi and Jin only involve marriage?"
Although Song Hongao felt that marriage could not guarantee anything, this was something Zhao Yong insisted on, and he had no objection at all, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"The marriage between the two countries is no small matter. I need to consider it before I can give Qi a satisfactory answer." Murong Zhan said.
"Then the emperor has thought it over carefully and proposes marriage to our Qi country." Song Hongao said quietly, their Qi country princess does not have to marry and become a noble concubine.
Mo Rongzhan nodded with a smile, "I will meet you, Prince Song."
"Then I'll take my leave first." Song Hongao bowed his hands and went back to reply to Zhao Yong, suppressing his displeasure.
After hearing Song Hongao's words, Zhao Yong couldn't help but laugh angrily, "Murong Zhan really takes himself seriously. The more he doesn't want to marry the princess of Qi, I will force him to marry her."
"..." Song Hongao felt that this vindictiveness was a bit strange, "Why does the emperor have to marry the princess to the Kingdom of Jin?"
"This will make Mo Rongzhan and Lu Yaoyao separate." Zhao Yong said lightly, "Xu Jiang just sent the news that Ye Yiqing resigned from Dongqing Kingdom and is already on his way back to Jin Kingdom."
Song Hongao was surprised, "Li Heng actually asked Ye Yiqing to resign?"
You must know that Dongqing Kingdom is completely supported by Ye Yiqing. Without him, where would Li Heng be today?
"Not long after Ye Yiqing left, Li Yu, the eldest princess of Dongqing Kingdom, died suddenly at home. Do you think these two things are related?" Zhao Yong asked.
It is not a secret that Li Yu, the eldest princess of Dongqing Kingdom, raises a noodle head. Maybe the two things are really related. "I'm afraid Ye Yiqing killed Li Yu."
Zhao Yong nodded. Although he had never met Ye Yiqing, he was very wary of this person. "Ye Yiqing, who can stabilize the entire Dongqing Kingdom, returned to Jin Kingdom. As the biological father of the Queen of Jin Kingdom and the legitimate head of the country, Ye Yiqing My family is from a famous family, what do you think will happen?"
Song Hongao thought carefully and took a breath, "Mo Rongzhan is as powerful as a tiger!"
"I heard that Ye Yiqing loves his daughter as much as her life, and will never allow his daughter to be wronged. If he knew that Lu Yaoyao was left out in Chengde Villa in Kyoto, and that Murong Zhan dotes on others, do you think he would be willing to come back and serve? "?" Zhao Yong asked with a smile.
"But, Mo Rongzhan doesn't seem to have really ignored Lu Yaoyao." Song Hongao said in a low voice.
Zhao Yong sneered, "Ye Yiqing doesn't know this is a lie. I let Xu Jiang walk outside Kyoto. People always have preconceptions about Lu Yaoyao's fall from grace, and it will be interesting to see if Ye Yiqing will be so easily used by Mo Rongzhan when he comes back." .”
Song Hongao was amazed in his heart. He had just entered the palace. He didn't expect that the emperor had already planned and arranged so many things outside. He was really...a veritable thousand-year-old fox. He was wily and scheming to sow the relationship between Mo Rongzhan and Ye Yiqing. He also wanted to Let Mo Rongzhan and Lu Yaoyao be separated...
He couldn't help but warm up to Mo Rongzhan in his heart.
Yes, the young emperor of Jin Kingdom is very powerful, but unfortunately, his opponent is the even more powerful Zhao Yong.
At this time, Murong Zhan in the palace did not know that Zhao Yong had tried every means to weaken his power. After Song Hongao left, he summoned the cabinet ministers into the palace. He did not want to marry Qi, which might lead to As an opponent, he had to find a way to deal with it.
In addition to the cabinet ministers, Tang Zhen was also in the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to agree to the request of the Qi State. We, the Jin State, are already having a very difficult time dealing with the Beiming State. If we add the Qi State, it will make things worse. I'm afraid... I'm afraid it will be a catastrophic disaster for the country. "When Ruan Jinghua heard that the emperor said that he did not plan to marry, he immediately knelt down and begged the emperor to agree.
Lu Shiming stood aside with a frown. He wanted to reject Ruan Jinghua's words, but he found that if he did not agree, the difficulties Jin Kingdom would face were unprecedented. If he could not take this step, the destruction of the country was possible.
Huang Chan whispered, "Your Majesty, it's just the position of a noble concubine, it's not important. The benefits of marriage between the two countries are better than being enemies. We also need to defeat the Beiming Kingdom together with the Qi Kingdom."
Murong Zhan glanced at everyone, "Do you all think that I must marry the Qi State and make the Qi State Princess a noble concubine?"
"Your Majesty, you can only use extraordinary methods in extraordinary times. At most... if you don't let the imperial concubine get pregnant in the future, then Qi's plan will be useless." Mr. Xu said in a deep voice.
Tang Zhen was worried. If the princess of Qi entered the palace, she would definitely overwhelm the queen. It would not matter whether she was pregnant or not by then. "Your Majesty, I think I should think twice about this matter."
"Your Majesty! Is the personal relationship between children more important than the Kingdom of Jin?" Ruan Jinghua asked loudly.
Murong Zhan frowned and sighed, "You guys step back first, I want to think about it."
"Your Majesty..." Huang Chan hesitated. Seeing Mo Rongzhan's cold and heavy expression, he had no choice but to shake his head, "I leave."
