"Adopted daughter, the fifteenth emperor's brother, you are very careful."

Zhou Fuchu's attention surprised many of the princes present. It seemed that this fifteenth prince who acted recklessly and only cared about eating, drinking and having fun had some intelligence.

"Your Majesty, I think Chu'er should pay attention to this."

The queen was excited and said to the old emperor: "This way, our two princesses don't have to marry the King of the Huns."

The old emperor was also very satisfied with the fifteenth prince's attention, and immediately said: "But is there anyone who can choose?"

"Yes, I have."

Zhou Fuchu immediately said: "I think Lord Yushi Fang's adopted daughter is good!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Jingyu's heart trembled, and he immediately stood up to stop him: "No, I don't agree with my father to recognize Master Fang's adopted daughter as his adopted daughter. She was born with a disability and cannot speak. If she is chosen, the King of the Huns will definitely see through it."

The other princes present felt very strange when they saw Zhou Jingyu reacting so strongly and didn't know the reason.

But Zhou Fuchu knew that he chose Fang Yuanxi on purpose.

"Why not."

Zhou Fuchu glanced at Zhou Jingyu and said with a smile: "It is precisely because she is mute that she was married to the King of the Huns. As long as the father recognizes her as his adopted daughter and the princess of our Zhou Dynasty, it will be fine."

"Well, what the Fifteenth Emperor said makes sense." The eldest prince Zhou Yi and the others nodded and smiled, very satisfied with this attention.

"Master Fang will not agree."

Zhou Jingyu was anxious, knowing that Zhou Fuchu had deliberately chosen Fang Yuanxi to retaliate against him for ruining his good deeds last time.

"Master Fang values ​​Yuanxi better than his biological daughter. If he chooses her, Master Fang will definitely not agree." Zhou Jingyu said urgently.How could he promise his father to recognize Fang Yuanxi as his adopted daughter and marry him to the King of the Huns?

"No, Father."

Zhou Fuchu turned his face and smiled at the old emperor: "As long as you give the order, Lord Fang will not dare to disobey the emperor's order."

Under the imperial power, anyone who dares to disobey will die!

"The decree is given." The old emperor sat up straight...

"Father, you can't do that..."

Zhou Jingyu panicked, Zhou Fuchu looked at him with a sneer on his lips, his goal was achieved.

However, at this time, the Fang Mansion did not know the news. The family was having dinner and waiting for Fang Liang.

The next day, Fang Liang got up early and went to the morning court.

All civil and military officials filled the main hall. Looking at the old emperor sitting on the dragon throne above, not a single one of them farted.

"Dear ministers, have you thought of any good strategies to deal with the Xiongnu?"

The old emperor remained silent and glanced at the ministers below, but everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one dared to stand up and speak.

"Fang Aiqing, where are you?" The old emperor turned and looked at Fang Liang.

Fang Liang came out and bowed: "Your Majesty, in accordance with the opinions of my veterans, I have sent heavy troops to the north to resist the Xiongnu army from going south..."

"Humph, you didn't pay attention either, did you?"

The old emperor snorted displeasedly, and Fang Liang quickly shut up, lowering his head and not daring to speak any more. The ministers were silent.

"I have a decision."

After a moment, the old emperor looked at the ministers below, especially Fang Liang: "Marry a princess to the King of the Huns!"

Suddenly the ministers were in an uproar and looked at each other. Unexpectedly, the old emperor actually agreed to negotiate terms with the King of the Huns.

"But I am not marrying Princess Xia and Princess Qingshu!" the old emperor said again.

But the officials were confused. In the Zhou Dynasty, there were only two princesses, Zhou Xia and Zhou Qingshu. If these two were not married, then the old emperor wanted to marry that princess.

"Fang Aiqing, how old is your adopted daughter?" The old emperor immediately looked at Fang Liang and asked.

Suddenly Fang Liang's head trembled, and he bowed and replied, "My little girl is sixteen this year."

"Just in time, it's time to leave the cabinet."

The old emperor nodded and said: "I plan to make your adopted daughter a princess and marry the King of the Huns!"

Fang Liang's face turned pale in an instant. He raised his head and looked at the old emperor in shock, his mind went blank.The eyes of the surrounding officials also turned to Fang Liang. They did not expect that the old emperor would come up with this method, and Zhang Zhuotong suddenly sighed in his heart.

"Fang Aiqing, do you have any objection?"

Seeing Fang Liang's frozen expression, the old emperor narrowed his eyes and sighed: "I can't help it. Princess Xia and Princess Qingshu don't want to marry the King of the Huns. They were looking for death last night. I hope Fang Aiqing can be considerate." Me."

thump

Fang Liang immediately knelt down, trembling all over, and begged and shouted: "Your Majesty, my little girl is innocent. Please show mercy to your Majesty and spare her..."

When the old emperor heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and he snorted coldly: "Is my daughter innocent? Besides, she is just your adopted daughter, not your biological child. This is also for the sake of my great Zhou Dynasty. Could it be that Fang Aiqing Can't you make a sacrifice for me?"

"emperor…"

Fang Liang cried, and the officials around him bowed their heads and remained silent, not daring to plead with the old emperor for him.

"The matter has been settled. I will crown the princess tomorrow and leave for the north in three days." The old emperor stood up, waved his hand, and left the court with a single sentence.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty..."

All the ministers bowed, but Fang Liang was the only one who was kneeling there, trembling all over and unable to get up for a long time.The ministers sighed, shook their heads and left.

"Brother Fang..."

In the end, it was Zhang Zhuotong who helped Fang Liang, who was in despair, with tears streaming down his face: "Why does the emperor treat me like this? Yuan Xi has been pitiful since she was a child, but she still has to bear such suffering. Why?"

"Brother Fang, Brother Fang, calm down..."

Seeing Fang Liang shouting in grief and anger, Zhang Zhuotong quickly dragged him out of the court. Fang Liang slumped on the steps. He was really disappointed with the old emperor. He was even more heartbroken and sad for his daughter Fang Yuanxi. He felt guilty, what should he do? Tell this news to your daughter.

"Brother Fang, accept your fate."

Zhang Zhuotong shook his head and sighed, no one dared to disobey the emperor's order.

Fang Liang didn't know how he left the palace and returned to Fang Mansion.

"Master, what happened to you?"

Watching Fang Liang walk into the house in despair, the eldest lady rushed up to help him when she saw it.

Fang Yuanxi, who was in the west wing, heard the sound and hurried out. Looking at Fang Liang who was helped into the front hall and sat down, Fang Yuanxi hurried up and looked at her father with worry on her face. She said in sign language: "Dad, what's wrong? Stop. Scared my daughter..."

"Yuan Xi, dad can't help you..."

Seeing Yuan Xi, Fang Liang cried in pain and said regretfully: "If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have let you stay in our family and suffer such a disaster..."

These words frightened Fang Yuanxi, the first lady, the second lady, and the others. Fang Hongye also came back and said anxiously: "Dad, what happened, please tell me quickly."

Fang Liang cried bitterly and said, "The emperor has decreed that Yuan Xi should be recognized as his adopted daughter, be made a princess, and marry the King of the Huns to quell the war in the north!"

"What, you want to marry Yuan Xi to the King of the Huns...!"

Fang Hongye and the eldest lady were shocked, and Fang Yuanxi's pretty face froze, her heart trembled, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

"Master, how could this happen..."

Lin Xiuhe reacted and couldn't believe it and said anxiously: "How could the emperor do this? Didn't you plead for Yuan Xi?"

"What's the use? The emperor ordered that if you dare to disobey, everyone in the Fang family will die!" Fang Liang stared and said in pain.

Now everyone was frightened. Under the imperial power, who would dare to disobey the imperial edict.

"No, I don't agree."

Fang Hongye shook his head and shouted angrily: "Dad, I will take Yuan Xi away, and I will never let her marry the King of the Huns."

"Let's go, where are we going?"

The second wife Wang Xiyu stared, and Fang Hongye shouted: "Didn't you hear what the master said? For disobeying the imperial edict, everyone in the Fang family is a sinner. Do you want to kill us?"

"Master, don't kill a whole family just for Yuan Xi." Wang Xiyu pulled Fang Liang's arm and begged.

"That's enough, shut up." Fang Liang felt guilty and aggrieved, and when he heard the second lady's words, he was instantly angry.

Wang Xiyu became even more angry after being scolded, and said angrily: "Are you really going to harm the whole family just because of her adopted daughter?"

For a moment, Madam Lin Xiuhe stopped talking and became silent.

Fang Hongye was angry and looked at his father: "Dad, you should think of a solution. Are you just watching Yuan Xi marry the King of the Huns?"

Fang Liang's face was full of pain, what could he do.

Finally, Fang Yuanxi tugged on his sleeves and said in sign language: "Dad, I am willing to marry the King of the Huns!"
