Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

Marriage!

Everyone in the court looked tense, and Liu Fu was even more proud.

Even a fool can see that His Majesty has been determined to depose the crown prince for a long time, and the battle for the title of heir among the nine sons has already begun secretly.

This time, the oiran case completely eliminated the possibility of the seventh prince fighting for the throne.

Of course, these are not important to Liu Fu. In his eyes, the biggest competitor for the future prince is nothing more than the eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince.

The eldest prince is the eldest son and has the most right to inherit. With Liu Fu's assistance, there are naturally many opportunities.

However, the second prince has been in the military camp all year round. It can be said that he has made many military achievements and is deeply liked by all the generals.

Although the third prince was the most favored by the Holy Emperor, his influence in the court was not as good as that of the eldest prince, and in the military camp it was even less influential than the second prince.

Therefore, most of the courtiers in the court bet their money on the eldest prince and the second prince.

"A warrior is brave but has no plans!"

With a sneer in his heart, Liu Fu stood there without saying a word.

He knew that the marriage was a historical shame to the entire Zhou Dynasty!

Bringing it up now would just offend the Holy One.

"Your Majesty, what I call a marriage is different from the past."

Noticing the changes in the expressions of the civil and military officials, Yu Xing took his time and continued to speak.

"What is the difference?"

There was already a trace of anger on Zhou Tian's face. He claimed to be the most powerful emperor in the past hundred years. He had not lost an inch of land and the country was prosperous. It was absolutely impossible to accept the marriage.

"I have heard that there is an eighteen-year-old princess in the Yuan Dynasty who is about to be married."

"If we can marry this princess, it will be considered a marriage between me, Da Zhou, and Da Yuan."

"At that time, not only will there be no need to waste money on secretly negotiating peace, but we will also be able to truly form an alliance with the Yuan Dynasty."

"At that time, what I was really worried about was not my Great Zhou Dynasty, but the Great Xia Kingdom!"

Yu Xing’s words made everyone suddenly realize!

In the past marriages between Da Zhou and Da Yuan, Da Zhou selected princesses and princesses to be sent to Da Yuan, which naturally seemed a bit groveling.

But if you can marry the princess of Dayuan, the meaning of this marriage will be completely different.

In the three hundred years since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, such a situation has never happened!

Being able to set this precedent is enough to demonstrate the growing strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Zhou Tian's originally gloomy expression softened a lot, and there was a hint of approval in his eyes.

"General Yu, do you think Dayuan will agree?"

Chen Yong asked, prompted by Liu Fu's eyes.

"Of course I agree!"

"As long as I, Da Zhou, are willing to give enough betrothal gifts, the other party has no reason to refuse."

Yu Xing looked like he had everything under control, but the corners of the other courtiers' mouths trembled a little.

bride price? !

In the final analysis, this is exactly the same as what Liu Fu said just now, which is to use money to settle Dayuan!

But everyone also knows that it seems to be the same, but in fact the methods are different.

Once Da Yuan agrees, then Da Zhou will make a lot of money at least in terms of face.

"General Yu, who among us in Zhou Dynasty do you think is the most suitable person to marry Princess Dayuan?"

Zhou Tian was so shrewd. Although he kept his cool, he could see at a glance the fundamental reason why Yu Xing could come up with such a method. He might have already figured out Dayuan's situation.

And there is enough confidence to facilitate this marriage.

As for the bride price?

Zhou Tian didn't care.

He has devoted his whole life to making himself an all-powerful emperor in both civil and martial arts. He hopes to achieve many achievements during his reign!

"Your Majesty, I think the eldest prince is the most suitable person!"

Just when the officials turned their attention to Yu Xing and wanted to know who he would recommend, they heard about the eldest prince Zhou Fan from Yu Xing's mouth!

For a moment, the whole court was silent!

Especially the loyal followers of the eldest prince such as Liu Fu and Chen Yong, their expressions instantly darkened!

"Good guy, I didn't expect this to be your real purpose!"

Taking a deep breath, Liu Fu had to admit that he had underestimated this man in his mouth before!

"The eldest prince is the eldest son, he is talented and virtuous."

"If he marries a princess from the Yuan Dynasty, it will give the Yuan Dynasty enough face. The general will think that the Yuan Dynasty will never reject such a marriage."

Yu Xing had a smile on his face and praised the eldest prince to the heavens with his words.

On a normal day, this kind of flattery would be enough for the eldest prince to enjoy, and he would even have a good impression of Yu Xing.

But if the eldest prince were in the court at this time, he might be in trouble!

Putting aside whether Princess Dayuan is willing or not, the eldest prince will definitely not agree!

Because, if you want to compete for the position of crown prince, you must not marry Princess Dayuan!

After all, once registered, the queen is the princess of an enemy country. How will the world view this? What do the ministers think? !

"The eldest prince has been sharing your majesty's worries and being loyal to the Zhou Dynasty. The general believes that your eldest highness will definitely not refuse."

Yu Xing looked at Liu Fu from the corner of his eye, with a smile on his face.

With such a hat on, even if you are the prime minister, you would not dare to shirk it from the eldest prince at this time!

"What a poisonous heart!"

Liu Fu gritted his teeth, not giving him a chance.

At this time, in the court, the excitement on the faces of the officials from the third prince and the second prince's faction became more and more obvious.

As for other courtiers, how dare they interfere?

"My dear friends, what do you think?"

Zhou Tian remained expressionless, maintaining his serious imperial authority.

"Your Majesty, I think General Yu's method is feasible."

Liu Fu took a deep breath, held Jade Ruyi in his hand, and spoke quickly.

"The eldest prince is devoted to the court and the country, let alone marrying the princess. Even if he sacrifices everything including his life, he won't frown even if he thinks about it."

"However, the situation in Beiguan is critical at the moment. There is still a severe drought in the south, there are many refugees, the barbarians in the southwest border are constantly harassing, and pirates are rampant along the eastern coast."

"The eldest prince has worked hard for the imperial court these years, and now he is even more entangled with many things. I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape."

It has to be said that as the current prime minister, Liu Fu has really good speaking skills.

Not only did he directly praise the eldest prince's achievements over the years, but he also implicitly pointed out that choosing the eldest prince at this time was not the best way.

"What suggestion does the Prime Minister have?"

Zhou Tian's face was expressionless, but Liu Fu breathed a sigh of relief after asking this question.

He has followed the Holy Sage for more than twenty years and has already figured out his nature.

"Your Majesty, I have someone to choose."

"More suitable than the eldest prince."

Liu Fu was respectful, but Yu Xing and other people who supported the second prince and others looked a bit sad.

However, I didn’t dare to have an attack at this time.

"Who!?"

"His Royal Highness!"

When the word "Zhou Zheng" came out of Liu Fu's mouth, the expressions of the ministers changed unpredictably.

After all, no one has ever thought of the current prince in matters of family and country.

Even though Zhou Zheng has become famous now, he not only got rid of the name of idiot, but also became known as the king of poets in the world.

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

But at this moment, almost everyone unanimously expressed the same attitude!
