Queen is fearless

Chapter 442
"Gu Shenzhi, what do you think?" In the imperial study room, the eyes of Zhou Jing and others fell on Gu Shenzhi.

"Your majesty, my humble minister..." Gu Shenzhi didn't know how to answer.

"This is the state book of the state of Jin. Take a look." In the imperial study room, there were only the four of them, not even the ingot.

Hearing the emperor's order, Gu Shenzhi responded, and stepped forward to take the letter of state of Jin from Zhou Jing's hand.

He read it carefully, and it was indeed as the emperor said, that the Jin Kingdom sent the eldest princess to come to Dazhou to make a marriage.

If the two countries can get married, it will be beneficial to both Da Zhou and Jin.

It can be said that the national power of Dazhou and Jin is similar, they both belong to powerful countries, and if they join forces, those who coveted the two countries in the past can basically stop.

After reading the letter of credence, Gu Shenzhi felt heavy in his heart, and he didn't want to agree because he wasn't sure if the other party was Jin Jiu.

But his identity is there, if he doesn't agree...

Right now, the emperor dotes on the empress, and also favors the Gu family a lot. If he doesn't agree, it will most likely cause dissatisfaction in the state of Jin.

Although there will be no disputes between the two countries, there will always be gaps, and perhaps one day, it will explode.

In that case, no matter it is for Da Zhou, the Gu family, or the empress, it will have an impact.

But if he agrees, if one day, he suddenly finds Jin Jiu, how will he explain to her?
She gave herself to him. Under such circumstances, how could he be an ungrateful person?
"Your Majesty, can it only be Shenzhi?" Seeing the changing expression on Gu Shenzhi's face, Gu Anzhi knew that he was very embarrassed.

Saluting Zhou Jing, Gu Anzhi asked.

"In Jin's national book, Gu Shenzhi's name is directly mentioned, which means that it must be Gu Shenzhi."

Zhou Jing's gaze shifted from Gu Shenzhi's face to Gu Anzhi's body.

"What do you think about this matter?" In fact, there was still a letter in Zhou Jing's hand.

But he doesn't plan to show this letter at the moment, he wants to see how the Gu family will make a choice in this situation?

"Your Majesty, although I don't know why the Jin Kingdom must be cautious, you know that even if Shenzhi has someone he likes, even if he agrees, the princess of the Jin Kingdom may not be able to get what she wants from Shenzhi when she comes to Dazhou."

"After all, she is the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom. She knows that there are other women in her husband's heart. I'm afraid... she won't let it go. At that time, there may be a gap between the two countries."

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, if the relationship between husband and wife is not harmonious, it is possible to reconcile and separate. The other party is the eldest princess of Jin, so it is also possible to reconcile with Gu Shenzhi in a fit of anger.

It is not troublesome for ordinary people to reconcile, but if the eldest princess of the state of Jin reconciles with Gu Shenzhi, it is not just a matter of two people or even two families.

"Gu Houye, what do you think?" Zhou Jing raised her eyebrows, Gu Anzhi's eloquence was no worse than that of Gu Houye and Gu Shen.

In the past, I only thought that he was a good leader in battle, but I didn't expect that when it comes to reasoning, he is also a set of rules.

It is undeniable that what he said is correct, however, such a thing as reconciling and leaving will never happen between Gu Shenzhi and the Princess Jin.

"Your Majesty, although I am the father of Gu Anzhi and Gu Shenzhi, I have always been more open-minded about the marriage of my children. As long as it is what they like, even if the other party is from a mediocre family, but other aspects are good, I am willing to accept it. "

"But if you don't like it, even the royal family and nobles, the humble minister will find a way to help his children."

"Weichen knows that this should not be said, but just like what An Zhi said, Shenzhi hides others in his heart. If he accepts the eldest princess in this way, when the eldest princess of Jin comes, maybe one day, he will discover this fact."

"I'm afraid that when the time comes, she will not be able to accept this matter, and think that we, Da Zhou, have cheated her feelings. If it affects the relationship between the two countries, it is better to politely refuse at the beginning."

Faced with Zhou Jing's inquiry, Gu Qingshan hardly hesitated, and expressed his thoughts.

This moved Gu Anzhi and Gu Shenzhi brothers very much. They always thought that their father knew how to cheat them, but they never expected that there would be times when they would defend them like this.

Zhou Jing sat at the top of the table, his eyes swiveling between the father and son, which made the father and son a little nervous.

It doesn't matter if they are punished by the emperor, as long as it doesn't affect the empress.

"I have another letter here, Gu Shenzhi, maybe you will change your mind after reading it."

Sure enough, the Gu family did as he expected, Zhou Jing smiled, he picked up the letter and motioned for Gu Shenzhi to take it and read it.

Gu Shenzhi quickly responded, put the letter of state on the table with both hands, and then took the letter from Zhou Jing's hand.

Gu Qingshan and Gu Anzhi looked at each other, because after reading the letter, Gu Shenzhi's expression was unspeakably weird.

Let Gu Qingshan describe it, it must have been struck by lightning, so he will not be able to recover for a while.

"Your Majesty, is this letter... true?" After a long time, Gu Shenzhi raised his head and looked at Zhou Jing.

"Well, it was sent together with the letter of credence. Now, what do you think, this Jin princess, do you want it or not?"

Zhou Jing nodded, he believed that after reading the letter, Gu Shenzhi would definitely agree to the marriage in the credential.

"Yes! Of course I have to!" Gu Shenzhi nodded repeatedly, with ecstasy on his face. The letter in his hand was also written by Emperor Jin.

Different from the credential, the credential clearly stated that the princess of the state of Jin came to Dazhou to make a marriage, and that person could only be Gu Shenzhi, but there was no explanation as to why it must be him.

In the letter, although there is still no clear explanation, but in the last sentence of the letter, it is clearly stated that the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom also has a name, Jin Jiu.

Jin Jiu was the one who made Gu Shenzhi lose his soul and searched for him for a long time!

Knowing that Jin Jiu is the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, and knowing that she is going to come to Dazhou to marry him, how could Gu Shenzhi not agree?

Gu Shenzhi's answer made Gu Qingshan and Gu Anzhi look at each other again, the two of them didn't understand the reason, they were a little baffled.

"So, from now on, the Zhongyonghou's Mansion will start preparing for the happy event. I will send someone to convey my willingness to be married back to the Kingdom of Jin."

"As for the date of marriage and other matters, either wait for the envoys from the Jin State to come again, or go to the post office and ask the envoys of the Jin State who sent the letter of credence to see if they have been explained."

Seeing the ecstasy on Gu Shenzhi's face, Zhou Jing thought, after returning to Fengyang Palace, he must tell Jinzhi about this matter.

Presumably, Jinzhi would be very happy to know about Gu Shenzhi's relationship with the Princess Jin.

Gu Anzhi stretched out his hand and pulled Gu Shenzhi's clothes. Seeing him looking at him with a silly face, he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted, "What was written in the letter? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
