367. Chapter 367 The Emperor's Plan
Murong Zhan's will to marry Ye Zhen is like throwing a stone in the calm water, the whole capital was shaken, since the new emperor came to the throne, the famous families in Kyoto have experienced a phenomenon of decay, the new emperor trusts The most important ones were the courtiers who had Conglong Zhigong, such as Tang Zhen and Lu Lingzhi, who came from poor families. Although they could not suppress the family, their favoritism in the court still worried the family.
It's not that those aristocratic families do not want to please the new emperor with outstanding military exploits, but there are many people who looked down on and bullied the new emperor when they were young, so how could they dare to join him in front of him? The emperor is not the former emperor of the Mohist family, and he doesn't give the family any face at all.
If you want to have a good relationship with the emperor, the best way is to marry your daughter into the palace, but this new emperor is different from others, there are few concubines in the palace, and he seems to particularly dislike expanding the harem, even so far I don't care if I don't have an heir yet, it's very difficult to please the emperor.
Now the emperor suddenly wants to marry the princess, which is great news for the family.
Regardless of how the princess looks, based on the recent achievements made by Her Royal Highness, and the doting of the empress dowager and the emperor, this is definitely a marriage that any aristocratic family would like to win.
After Mo Rongzhan went down to court, he went to the imperial study with a cold face. Ford followed him tremblingly holding a stack of memorials, and a little eunuch behind him was holding a pile of picture scrolls, all of whom were ministers of the Ministry of Rites The portrait of the young talent sent up.
"Take them all and burn them!" Mo Rongzhan pointed at those scrolls and memorials and shouted angrily.
Ford didn't dare to have any doubts, and immediately agreed.
"Come back!" Murong Zhan called the man back when Fude walked to the door, pointed to the side and said coldly, "Put it down, and invite the abbot of Huguo Temple to enter the palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Fude responded, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart. Since the Emperor ordered to give the princess a marriage, he became so angry when he saw the candidate sent by the Ministry of Rites. Isn't this just asking for guilt? Now the princess still doesn't know how to misunderstand the emperor. In short, Ford feels that the emperor still has a long way to go to really please the princess.
Mo Rongzhan picked up two memorials and glanced at them. They were the memorials of the Chen family in Longxi wanting to marry the princess for their eldest grandson...
He snorted coldly, threw the memorial aside, read a few books in succession, and the more he read, the more angry he became. Could it be that these people were just waiting to marry the princess without discussing marriage before? All of them were not young, yet they were not married yet. Murongzhan picked up those scrolls and looked at them again, "The deer-headed mouse-eyed ones also want to marry Yaoyao!"
"What!" Mo Rongzhan threw the picture scroll in his hand, almost hitting Tang Zhen who had just walked in on the head.
"The emperor?" Tang Zhen looked at the scrolls and memorials all over the floor in the imperial study in surprise. Who angered the emperor?
Seeing Tang Zhen, Mo Rongzhan suppressed the anger in his heart, "Come in."
When Tang Zhen saw the portrait on the scroll, he immediately understood what was going on. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, "Your Majesty, are you choosing a son-in-law for Your Highness the Princess?"
When Murong Zhan heard the word son-in-law, his eyes became colder, "Are they also worthy of marrying Yaoyao?"
"Your Majesty, do you really want to marry the princess? Then what do you think..." Tang Zhen looked away from the handsome young man on the scroll, and looked at Mo Rongzhan with a smile.
"Don't even think about it!" Before Tang Zhen could finish speaking, Murong Zhan had resolutely refused, "I called you here because I have something to tell you."
Tang Zhen smiled wryly in his heart, he knew, how could the emperor easily marry Yaoyao to someone else, the imperial decree yesterday... was the emperor's preparation for allowing Yaoyao to enter the palace, right? "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
"It's about marrying Yaoyao..." Murong Zhan gritted his teeth when talking about marrying her, "If I directly ordered to marry her, the court officials would definitely not agree to it. Yaoyao's identity is also somewhat difficult, so I can only use this method."
Tang Zhen listened carefully to the method mentioned by the emperor, and was already dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.
At the beginning when his marriage proposal was opposed by the emperor, he was not without complaints in his heart. He always thought that he would be the best person in the world to Yaoyao. He knew that the emperor liked Yaoyao, but he never thought that an emperor would like her How deep it can be, and he doesn't think it will last long. If it is possible, he hopes that Yaoyao will not enter the palace. The concubine is so lonely. How can such a beautiful and delicate woman wither in the palace?
However, he did not expect that the emperor would do this for Yaoyao, just to save Yaoyao from any bad reputation in the future, just to make her name more justified, the emperor really... risked everything.
"Your majesty, are you really planning to do this? Then you need the help of the abbot of the Huguo Temple." Tang Zhen digested the surprise in his heart, and he no longer knew how to describe the emperor's method. Probably no emperor would do this for a woman. the point.
Tang Zhen felt helpless to be convinced.
Mo Rongzhan said lightly, "I have already arranged this, you just need to let these people do what I say."
"Your Majesty, what if they don't want to..." Tang Zhen whispered, "There are quite a few people who want to marry the princess."
"I have benefited them a lot." Murong Zhan snorted coldly.
Tang Zhen has nothing to say, this should be the first time the emperor is willing to make concessions with the family, just for Yaoyao...
"Your majesty, have you told the princess what you meant by doing this?" Tang Zhen asked in a low voice.
"She will understand." Murong Zhan said confidently. Although he ordered the marriage, he believed that the little girl must understand that this was his plan. How could he marry her to someone else.
Will Ye Zhen understand? She did understand, but she didn't understand, so she silently added another black account to Murong Zhan in her heart.
"Yaoyao, look, these are invitations received by the concierge this morning, Mrs. Chen's birthday banquet... Mrs. Xue's grandson Man Yue also invited you, and this..."
"Mother, I remember that our family seems to have very little contact with these aristocratic families." Ye Zhen looked at these invitations, and the corners of her eyes twitched a few times. Didn't these aristocratic families look down on the Lu family the most? Why do you send invitations like a crowd now?
Pei pouted and said, "Isn't it all because of the emperor's will? These people don't want to drink, they just want to see you."
"Mother, why do you care about them? Do they still think that Yaoyao is for them to look at? Our family still doesn't like them, it's their turn to point and point at Yaoyao." Lu Xiangzhi beside him said angrily Said.
"Big brother is right." Ye Zhen blinked at him, "Mother, ignore invitations from these aristocratic families, I won't go."
