Chapter 92 Princess Qi

Last year, Northern Qi planned to use their princess to marry His Majesty the Great Chen Emperor as empress, but the little emperor regarded it as a great shame and humiliation, and directly drove the Qi people out of Jiankang.

Unexpectedly, after a lapse of one year, these rampant Qi people would come to bring up this matter again.

Yang Xiangguo frowned slightly, first turned his head to look at the cold-faced His Majesty the Emperor, then glanced at Qian Qian, the envoy of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and said in a deep voice: "I mentioned this matter last year. In the world, it is impossible to marry the royal family of Qi as the queen, let alone..."

Yang Xiangguo's rare attitude became tough.

"It's even more impossible to marry a descendant of the Northern Emperor!"

Last year's princess was the niece of the Northern Qi emperor. If the emperor married her, he would call the Northern Qi emperor "uncle" according to his seniority.

If this so-called princess is the daughter of the Northern Qi emperor, after the marriage is completed, the little emperor of Chen Guo will actually become the "child emperor".

This kind of humiliation is absolutely impossible for the emperor and the court to accept.

Speaking of this, Yang Xiang looked calm, and said: "If your country of Qi insists on sending a woman to Jiankang, you might as well be a concubine for my emperor."

A concubine is a concubine.

Taking a concubine is not a hindrance to ethics, let alone being one generation younger.

Qian Qian stood in the court hall, first glanced at the little emperor, then at Yang Jingzong, and suddenly smiled.

"Yang Xiangguo, I respect you for being old and have ruled the country for many years, so I won't quarrel with you, but if Nan Chen dares to insult the Tian family, then my Grand Master of Qi will immediately send troops south to take Jiankang."

Qian Langzhong had an arrogant attitude.

"At that time, your country will move south again, and I'm afraid it can only be moved to Danzhou!"

These words are extremely arrogant.

Not only the young little emperor couldn't stand it, but even the complexions of many ministers in the court changed slightly. His Majesty the emperor stood up directly from the dragon chair and looked at Qian Qian coldly.

"The wolfish ambitions of the northerners are clearly revealed. If you have the ability to take down Jiankang, you have already come to fight, so what excuse do you need?"

"Go back and tell Zhao that I will be waiting for him in Jiankang!"

Before the Northern Qi Dynasty entered the customs, they were hunting and nomadic peoples without Han surnames. After entering the customs, they proclaimed themselves emperor in Yandu. In order to win people's hearts and establish the imperial court, Sinicization began about 40 years ago. Some years even began to publicize that they are Zhu Xia Zhengshuo.

However, although the Han surname was changed, the Northern Qi Dynasty was still divided between Han and Hu. The Hu nobles controlled a large amount of social resources. Not to mention the wanton killing of Han people in the early years of entering the customs. Even today, 60 years later, because the upper class is all Hu people Because of this reason, the social system of the Northern Qi Dynasty is still not perfect.

For example, if a barbarian kills a Han, he can use his military merits to pay for his crime.

As for the Hu nobles, let alone.

Therefore, although Emperor Zhao in the north had a Han surname, he was a real Hu emperor.

Qian Qian stood in the court hall, bowed to the little emperor and said, "Your Majesty, you are still young, and you should discuss some matters with the ministers."

As he spoke, he chuckled: "Princess Chao, I have already arrived in Jiankang with my foreign ministers, and now I am staying in the guild hall of the Ministry of Rites. I can only wait for your court to discuss it before I can get married in Jiankang."

After finishing speaking, the envoy from the Northern Kingdom saluted the emperor, then turned around and left the court.

In the court hall, the little emperor sat on the throne with a dark face, without saying a word.

The ministers in the court also watched their noses and noses, their noses and hearts, and lowered their heads, pretending that nothing happened, and no one spoke.

Even Prime Minister Yang Jingzong frowned and said nothing.

After a period of deathly silence, the little emperor stood up straight from the throne. He glanced coldly at his courtiers, and then said coldly: "You have already seen the face of the northerners."

"How to deal with this matter, you have to come up with a charter. Tomorrow, several prime ministers will come into the palace and report to me face to face."

After finishing speaking, the young emperor shook his sleeves angrily and walked away.

After His Majesty left the court, Yang Jingzong and Yang Xiang, who had been silent all the time, looked back at the officials, and then said silently: "The officials of the Ministry of Rites are going to the Zhongshu Province to discuss matters. Everyone else should go back to the Yamen and leave. .”

After all, Yang Xiangguo has been in charge of court affairs for many years. He is still in charge of the central government at this time, and his words still have weight. After he opened his mouth, all the officials at the meeting immediately dispersed. Several other prime ministers came to Zhongshu Province together.

There are five prime ministers in Chen Guo, not all of them may be the chief officials of the three provinces, but they are generally in the three provinces. If there are things to discuss on weekdays, they are all discussed in Zhongshu Province.

In Zhongshu Provincial Yamen, there is a side hall dedicated to discussing affairs, which is called "the meeting hall", and the gate of this meeting hall is jokingly called "Xiangmen".

It means that if you step into this threshold, you are not a prime minister, but also half a prime minister.

But today, the atmosphere in the meeting hall is not very good.

Prime Minister Yang Jingzong still sat on the main seat. After everyone was seated one by one, he glanced at the four prime ministers and the three officials from the Ministry of Rites present, and said slowly, "What's going on?"

Yang Xiang's voice was low: "Your Ministry of Rituals is in charge of foreign affairs, and you didn't know about this matter in advance. You forced that person surnamed Qian to enter the Dachaohui, and you are still talking nonsense at the Dachaohui!"

Yang Xiang's voice was a little angry: "The truth is almost doubtful, is your Ministry of Rites taking advantage of the people of Qi!"

This incident is indeed a serious diplomatic incident.

Because the envoys of the Northern Qi Dynasty did not necessarily have to appear in the court meeting or in front of all civil and military officials.

If the people of Qi met the emperor in private, at most they would be accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Rites. No matter how harsh the request was, the court would just pretend that they didn't hear it.

As for His Majesty being angry...

It's okay to be angry, young man.

But this time, the envoy of the Qi people was blatantly rude to the emperor at the great court meeting, and Chen Guo couldn't really kill the envoy of the Qi people, which made Yang Xiang a little annoyed.

Minister of the Ministry of Rites is an old man who is nearly seventy years old. He looked at Pei Yuan beside him, and sighed: "Pei Shilang is in charge of the foreign affairs of the Ministry of Rites. Let's talk about it."

Pei Shilang had no choice but to bite the bullet and stood up, arched his hands to Yang Jingzong, and said helplessly: "Yang Xiang, these Qi people just arrived in the capital yesterday, and after they arrived, they clamored to face the saint. As for the method, I have already asked Zhou Shangshu and Zhongshu for instructions yesterday afternoon, Zhou Shangshu and all the prime ministers nodded, as for what they want to say..."

Pei Shilang said with a wry smile: "It's only half a day, and the next official didn't figure it out beforehand."

Yang Jingzong frowned, and said coldly: "What about the princess? They brought a princess into the guild hall of the Ministry of Rites, and you don't know?"

Pei Shi sighed again, and said, "I know, I know. I thought she was the family member of the Northern Qi envoy. It wasn't until this morning that the lower officials knew that the woman was the princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty."

"Have you checked your identity?"

Yang Xiang took a deep breath and asked, "The Northern Qi Emperor has a total of four princesses, which one is it?"

"neither."

Pei Shilang looked around at the several prime ministers, as well as the two colleagues from the Ministry of Rites, with a bitter look on his face.

"I just found out that this is the Princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty last year. This year, the Emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty made her a princess and sent her here again..."
