Chapter 1458 Yu Family

Zhou Shuren frowned, "The emperor will not mention Yuyi for no reason. Now that he mentions Yuyi, he must have some plans. I asked the emperor, but the emperor just smiled and said nothing."

Zhulan's heart sank, "Changlian is what the emperor can use. Changlian performed well during the flood this year, and Yuyi's marriage caught the emperor's eyes."

Zhou Shuren hummed lightly, "I'll see if there are any suitable candidates in the past few days, and how to find a suitable marriage."

Zhulan, "The emperor mentioned Yu Yi to you, and you got engaged in a blink of an eye?"

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, "I have the confidence now, and the emperor will not really blame me for the marriage. I am a little displeased."

"Then I'll also find someone to inquire more about."

Zhou Shuren suddenly said, "Shangguan Liu is very good, but it's a pity that the surname is Shangguan."

He never thinks too much about the future, nor does he gamble on the future, he only cares about what he can see, the prince is not married yet, there are too many unknowns.

"yes."

It's a pity that she has a good impression of Shangguan Liu.

In the palace, the emperor went to the queen's bedroom, saw the queen was holding her daughter, and frowned, "The imperial doctor said you need to rest more."

The queen looked like a woman who had everything to do, "It's not a big problem for me to hold her for a while."

The emperor relaxed his brows when he saw that the queen didn't try to push her. The youngest daughter hasn't chosen a name yet. It's not that she didn't choose it well, but because her daughter is not in good health. He was afraid that the name would be too heavy on her.

The little princess was carried down, the queen's hands were a little sore, she sat down to rest, "Is the emperor ready to eat?"

"Used."

The queen asked, "Does the emperor have something to tell me?"

The emperor nodded, "Well, in a few days, all the surviving prairie tribe princes will come to Beijing."

Queen, "What does the emperor mean?"

"It's not good for grassland tribes to marry each other."

Now the entire grassland is his people, he wants to cut off the possibility of intermarriage, to avoid too much power due to intermarriage.

Moreover, there is no need for leaders on the prairie. The people of the prairie belong to the court and should not obey the leaders of the tribes. The princes and leaders of these tribes must go to Beijing. If these tribes were not too cautious and did not give him a chance, he would be more willing to clean up together. .

It's a pity that these surviving tribes helped annex the grassland, and he didn't want to make it too ugly.

The queen understood, "Does the emperor mean intermarriage?"

"Well, since they have been sent to Beijing, they can only stay in the capital in the future, with nothing but wealth but no real power."

The queen knew it well. This time it was not a marriage. The emperor wanted to assimilate several vassal tribes. It seemed that the princes of these tribe leaders went to Beijing was the first step, and they would move the people to the grassland in the future.

The emperor continued, "In the future, the grassland will be divided into animal husbandry states and government offices will be established. There is no need for leaders and princes in the grassland. They will get in the way."

He hasn't awarded the reward yet, there are too many princes in the grassland, and the capital doesn't need so many princes.

The queen asked, "Since we want to assimilate these tribes, we must choose the girls for marriage."

The emperor hummed, "Let me tell you first, and you can convey your meaning when someone comes to Beijing."

"good."

In the next few days, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren acted very quickly. Zhou Shuren looked for a marriage for Yuyi, Zhulan did not avoid Qingxue, she asked Tao and Liu, and even Qi.

Dow was puzzled when he received the entrustment, so he carefully selected a good young master, and when there was a candidate, he came to Zhou Mansion in person.

Tao Shi asked, "When Yudie got engaged, you still said that Yuyi was not in a hurry. Why did you go back on your word after so long?"

Zhulan also had her own reasons, "It's not that there are too many people inquiring about Yuyi. After thinking about it, Shuren and I might as well get engaged earlier, and it also cut off some people's thoughts."

Dow nodded, "It's true that some people should stop thinking about it. The third son of your family has performed well in Qizhou. Among your sons, the third son has the best career career. Why don't we just stare at Yuyi."

The third son of Zhou is the one used by the emperor. The second wife of the Zhou family is also good, but the second wife has no daughter. As for the fourth wife, in the eyes of the people in the capital, Master Zhou is a rich man.

Among the granddaughters of the Zhou family, the eldest daughter of the third household has always been the most missed one.

Zhulan asked, "You are here today, but there is a suitable candidate?"

"Your family's requirements for choosing a son-in-law are too high. It took me a few days to find a suitable one. Didn't a few aristocratic families from other places come to Beijing last year, and one of them was the Yu family. The Yu family was upright and had a high reputation in the local area. But the aristocratic family also has heritage, and you know that the Yu family is valued by the emperor when you promote the Yu family to Beijing."

She heard the last half of the sentence from her husband. After discussing with him, she felt that the young master of the Yu family was more suitable. What a coincidence, there were several young masters in the Yu family who were not engaged.

Zhulan also heard Shuren talk about the Yu family a few times. At that time, she didn't pay much attention to it. The number of aristocratic families in the capital is changing quickly. Now it seems that she needs to know more about the Yu family. Down."

Tao said with emotion, "In fact, there is another one in the capital that is suitable, but I heard from my husband that your family would not choose."

"Shangguan's house?"

"You can guess right, it seems that you also like the young master of the Shangguan family."

Zhulan, "It's a pity, the Shangguan family didn't choose our Zhou family either, the son of the Shangguan family has already taken a fancy to him."

The Shangguan family is too sober, and the more sober they are, the more they know what to do to keep the family undefeated.

In the palace, Zhou Shuren was summoned. Standing in the study, Zhou Shuren remained motionless, and the emperor did not make a sound.

The emperor knew about the actions of the Zhou family, and he admitted that he was planning on the granddaughter of the Zhou family. He had a list. Zhou Changlian's daughter was very outstanding, but Zhou Shuren's achievements lay in it. He would not know that Zhou Shuren cared about his granddaughter, and did not care about Zhou Shuren's feelings.

Zhou Changlian is good, he will be the sharp knife in the south in the future, so he will naturally help find a good marriage.

As a result, Zhou Shuren's reaction was too great, so he opened his mouth. Zhou Shuren turned his head and wanted to get engaged to his granddaughter.

The emperor put his hands behind his back, "Does Shuren believe me?"

Zhou Shuren said, I'm sorry, the emperor's mouth can't be trusted, and everything can be discarded in front of Jiangshan, "I dare not."

The emperor's eyes fell on Zhou Shuren's hair. Last year, Zhou Shuren's hair was not so gray, and some of the displeasure in his heart disappeared, "I know you love your granddaughter."

Zhou Shuren continued to bow his head, pretending to be pitiful, it was nothing to him, he was not afraid that the emperor would blame him for Yuyi's marriage, he has a whole body of political achievements, "the fourth granddaughter of the minister, her parents are not in the capital, and she grew up beside the minister since she was a child." Your Majesty, the minister is indeed partial."

The last bit of displeasure in the emperor's heart was gone, "I really want to be a matchmaker for your granddaughter, please listen first, if you think it's inappropriate, I won't force you."

Zhou Shuren moved his ears, he felt at ease if he could discuss it, but he was afraid that there would be no discussion.

At night, Zhulan saw the joy on Shuren's face, "Is there something good?"

"Well, is there a happy event with a smile on my lady's face?"

Zhulan smiled and nodded, "Dao Shi came here today to say that the young master of the Yu family is good. I sent someone to inquire about it in the afternoon. After entering Beijing, the Yu family was very low-key. I really ignored it."

Zhou Shuren raised his eyebrows, "What a coincidence."

"What a coincidence?"
