The Pearl of the Lady

Chapter181
Usulphur.

"Your Majesty, you have also reached the age, you should marry a concubine and take concubines to continue the royal heir."

Wuli's ministers have been saying this in the past two years, and they have written a lot of excerpts, but His Majesty has not responded, and they have no idea, so they simply brought it up at the court meeting today.

Wumeng has been away from the country for ten years, and there are basically no cronies in this dynasty. Although he is young, his eyes are very sharp, and there are things about his former majesty. The ministers are a little afraid of him. I am also very afraid of being settled by Qiu Hou. If I want to get closer to the young emperor, the best thing is marriage.

The emperor above had a calm expression and didn't speak. He just looked coldly at the excited officials below, as if if he didn't marry a wife, he would cut off Wuliu's inheritance.

Under the cold eyes of the emperor, the officials fell silent and lowered their heads one after another.

Wu Cheng tapped lightly on the table, "I already have a candidate in my heart, but I didn't mention it until I settled down a few days ago."

He was thinking in his heart to rectify Wuli and develop Wuli better. The ministers will bring up this matter when they are more obedient, so that he can propose marriage to Ah Fu. If Ah Fu is willing to marry, he will not be affected. Wronged.

The ministers looked at each other, wondering which family could be the new emperor's family.

"I want to ask Da Zhou to ask for marriage, to marry Gu Jiao, the head of Anle County."

The ministers were a little dazed, but before they could react, Wu Cheng settled the matter.

"That's it, let's go back."

Wu Cheng wanted to go to Da Zhou to propose marriage in person, but he was the only one left in the direct line of the Wu family, and the ministers would not dare to let Wu Cheng leave Wu Li even if they were beaten to death. Even if the battle is not understood.

Wu Cheng sent envoys to go first, and he planned to arrive during the New Year. After all, there was a New Year's meeting in Dazhou, so it was a legitimate diplomatic matter.

"See His Majesty Zhou, the emperor of our country sent me to pay you my sincere respect." The envoy saluted.

"Please, how is Your Majesty doing recently? It's been two years since I left." Wei Sheng said.

"Your Majesty loves the culture of the Great Zhou very much, and I am grateful for the years of studying abroad in the Great Zhou." The envoy said.

The officials on Dazhou’s side are also very comfortable being flattered. Wu Cheng has been in Dazhou for ten years and has received a lot of education from Dazhou. Kan was much better when he was the king. After all, Wu Kan had great ambitions and was not friendly to Da Zhou. Judging from the envoy's words, Wu Cheng was still very friendly and grateful to Da Zhou.

"My Majesty yearns for the culture of the Great Zhou, and hopes to form a good relationship between Qin and Jin with the Great Zhou. Please consider it."

Wuliu has a strategic position, with a vast land and few people, rich products, and all the people are martial arts. Wuliu is in the rising period of a country, and it is developing very fast. That is to say, Wuliu and Dazhou are not close, so The two countries have not fought in recent years, but Wuliu is a necessary country on the route from Dazhou to Semu, and it is a very important place on the trade road. If the two countries are not on good terms, it will easily affect Dazhou's foreign trade.

Therefore, the ministers still agreed to the request made by Wuliu. Everyone has seen the current king Wuliu. He is young and handsome, and he is a better marriage partner. But think about it. The princess has already decided on someone else, so she must choose from the clan.

His Majesty pondered for a while and said, "I am very touched by the heart of the king of your country, but there is no unmarried princess in my palace. The marriage partner will be selected from the clan, and I will be named a princess."

The ministers below had their own ideas in their minds. Some were reluctant to let their daughters marry far away, for fear that they would be blamed on their own families, while others thought about how much benefits they would get if their daughters were proclaimed princesses and married far away. For a while, everyone had different expressions , secretly plotting.

The ones who are completely stress-free here are the members of the Gu family. They only have one daughter and they are married to His Highness the Crown Prince. Although this son-in-law is not very satisfied, it has nothing to do with the family.

"The monarch of our country has studied in the palace for ten years, and he already has a candidate in his heart."

As soon as the messenger said this, and to say sorry to Wu Cheng, everyone's first reaction was the third princess, Wei Ting. After all, the two had had an affair, and Wei Ting is also a princess who is famously fond of beautiful men, so... several ministers I couldn't help but glanced at the envoy. In my heart, I paid respect and regret like King Wuliu. How can such a good king have such a bad vision? Could it be that he made such a big sacrifice for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries? Moved.

Wei Sheng, who was sitting upright, also thought about this issue. If King Wuli insisted, Wei Ting's marriage could be reconsidered.The envoy said, "Your Majesty loves Gu Jiao, the princess of Anle County in your country. If you can marry the princess, the two countries will forever be an alliance, watch over and help each other, and our country is willing to use the White Wolf City as the princess' dowry."

White Wolf City was once an important city in the Great Zhou Dynasty and an important supply station for trade. It was seized by the Tatan people more than 100 years ago. It was attacked several times by the Great Zhou Dynasty and failed to regain it. It was also a shameful heart disease in the Great Zhou Dynasty. , stumped?
Facing the gazes of the ministers, of course the faces of the ministers are actually very subtle. Princess Anle is already a prospective princess, but Wu Cheng made such a fuss, but it is somewhat inappropriate for the reputation of the princess.

The envoy didn't know what the ministers were thinking, and he only thought they were surprised. He ignored his coldness. After all, he was glared at by Gu's father and son and His Royal Highness, and he felt a little complacent in his heart. How powerful "The king has personally led the troops to take down the White Wolf City, and the Tatan people have been driven out."

Wei Sheng sits high, and everyone can't see his expression. In fact, Wei Sheng is a little proud. He has been suffering from silly uncle syndrome all year round. His first reaction is that he is still my niece. Proud, Ah Yi was relatively quick to strike, otherwise he would not be too stubborn to refuse.

The atmosphere below was already a little tense, and the minister secretly observed the expressions of Gu's father and son.

Wei Sheng smiled brightly, "The princess is the pearl of our country, and it is understandable that King Wucheng admires the reputation of the princess, but King Wucheng came a step late, and the marriage between the princess and my prince has already been settled."

Wei Yi was finally able to speak, he took a step forward, and smiled at the messenger, but this smile made people feel a little chilled in their hearts, "The marriage between Gu and the princess is already under preparation, and King Wu Cheng is welcome to come to watch the ceremony .”
