Chapter 474 Marriage?

After the words fell, the hall suddenly became quiet again.

The officials were in an uproar.

Marriage between Xiqi and Yanguo?

Does Her Majesty the Queen mean to let Prince Yan marry into your wife? In this way, isn't it just to use the Yan Kingdom as an employer to merge the two countries into one?

But……

"Report to Your Majesty." A veteran minister in the court said hurriedly, "I think the marriage is okay, but the Yan State was once a tributary of Northern Xinjiang. It is not yet known what their attitude towards the marriage is, and whether they will treat Xiqi in the future. His Majesty has no idea what kind of person the Prince of Yan is, so it may not be appropriate to give him the title of a royal husband."

Fucang stood beside Chu Qinghuang and glanced silently at the minister who spoke.

idiot.

If the master didn't know what kind of person he was, how could he think of marriage so easily?

"I also feel that if you are not of my race, your heart must be different. Marriage is feasible, but for the position of the main palace, it is more appropriate to choose a legitimate son from a powerful family in the Western Qi Dynasty who is both good in character and good in both civil and military affairs. I hope your majesty will think twice."

Others who thought the same thing shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, please think again!"

Fucang lowered his head and stared at his toes, trying to pretend that he was invisible. They couldn't influence his master's decision anyway.

"My lords, you have all been worried about my harem, and I have been given advice every now and then to fill it up, which makes me very annoyed." Chu Qinghuang's voice was indifferent and did not allow for refutation, "I told you my plan today. After you go back, you can think about my intentions carefully. "

After saying this, she announced her resignation, stood up and left.

The ministers respectfully send you off.

The several important ministers who were called followed them to the imperial study room to discuss matters, while the others secretly pondered Chu Qinghuang's words.

intention?

Is it possible that Her Majesty the Queen's decision to marry could have some hidden meaning?

Xiqi and Northern Xinjiang are at war. Dazhou is Xiqi's ally. Now, naturally, the two countries have joined forces and decided to completely carve up Northern Xinjiang.

Yan Guo, a small subsidiary country, plays no role in it at all. There should be no need for marriage, right?

Is it possible that Her Majesty the Queen wanted the Yan Kingdom to submit to Xiqi, but she was worried that after the war, the Great Zhou Dynasty would also have Yan Kingdom's ideas, so she entered into a marriage alliance with the Yan Kingdom in advance and brought the Yan Kingdom into the Xiqi camp?

The ministers frowned, their expressions were silent and solemn. Firstly, men's interests were damaged, and wives and concubines were no longer free to have sex. Secondly, Her Majesty the Queen was finally willing to choose a husband, but she chose the Prince of Yan as the marriage partner, which is really disappointing. Unexpected.

The ministers were really not in a good mood.

But Chu Qinghuang, who had thrown several heavy thunders, had no time to pay attention to their thoughts at the moment. Getting married was her own business, so telling them already gave her enough face.

It doesn't matter what their opinions are.

The discussion in the royal study room lasted until noon. Most of the discussion was about the amendment of the law, which added many clauses that were beneficial to women and restricted the conduct and style of officials. Although some ministers in the court were dissatisfied with these clauses, several highly respected veterans were It was readily accepted.

Throughout the dynasties, no matter how mediocre the emperors were, there would always be a few loyal ministers in the court who were dedicated to serving the country. When it was necessary to make important decisions that benefited the people and the country, it would never be wrong to discuss the decision with these loyal ministers. .

The discussion process went smoothly, and Chu Qinghuang was in a good mood.

At noon, the palace people came in to ask for lunch. Chu Qinghuang left several old ministers to eat together in the palace. The adults were grateful for the emperor's kindness and their attitude became more kind.

The Queen Chu Qinghuang is strong when she should be strong, domineering when she should be domineering, and will naturally learn to be humble when she should be humble.

After all, respecting the elderly and loving the young is a virtue passed down from ancient times.

She will give the most basic respect to ministers who are veterans of two or three dynasties and have worked conscientiously all their lives, and can tolerate even some stubborn and pedantic shortcomings.

After the veterans left, Chu Xuance, Wen Zhan and Yun Heng, who had been waiting outside the imperial study for half an hour, walked in and respectfully saluted and greeted them.

Chu Xuance and Yun Heng presented handwritten memorials, while Wen Zhan presented Wen Li's oral confession.

"This is the inside story of Wen Li's confession last night. Your Majesty, please take a look at it." Wen Zhan put the confession on the case and took a step back. "My father came to me this morning to plead for mercy and asked me to be gentle and let Wen Li go."

Chu Qinghuang said calmly: "How did you reply to him?"

Wen Zhan lowered his head and replied: "How to deal with Wen Li is your Majesty's business. I have no right to make the decision."
