Juntian University Chronicle

"What?" Gongsun Jin was reading in the study, and when he heard the report from his staff, he was so experienced that he even dropped the book in his hand to the ground in shock: "Say it again?"

The staff member bowed and said, "King Susu asks His Majesty to marry Young Master Ling Guang."

"What does Your Majesty say?"

"King Susu proposed that some concessions can be made in the matter of commerce. His Majesty seems to be a little moved and is still hesitating."

"Absurd!" Gongsun Jin sat down on the chair: "This King Susu is so rude! If he is allowed to marry Ling Guang, then where will I put the old man!"

After a long while, he settled down and ordered: "Hurry up and go to Beirong to urge Qian'er to return to the court as soon as possible."

"Yes." The staff led the order.

Gongsun Jin called his servants to prepare horses and went straight to the mansion of the Ling family.

When Wang heard that the prime minister was coming, she hurriedly brought Ling Jun out to meet him.

After Gongsun Jin sat down, he told them about today's court affairs.

When Wang heard this, she was so bluffed that she couldn't sit still, and said: "My lord, please forgive me for being rude, doesn't your majesty know that Guang'er has been promised to your family?"

Gongsun Jin sighed: "The King Cusu completely disregarded etiquette and forcibly asked for a marriage, which is extremely rude."

Ling Jun's face also turned pale: "Although my Ling family is not a big family, but the Kun nature in my family was also pampered and grew up. If this kind of foreign barbarian got it, wouldn't it be ruined!"

Wang's tears flowed down Susuo, crying: "My poor son, how could such a thing happen!" He grabbed Ling Jun again, and said to Gongsun Jin: "I beg the prime minister to take us into the palace to meet you. Your Majesty, I beg him to protect Guang'er. If Guang'er goes to such a barren place, he will not have a good life for a few years."

Gongsun Jin is actually very optimistic about his grandson-in-law, but he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen after the marriage is settled.Immediately frowning, he said: "For this kind of matter, I think it's better to go to Xishan to see the Queen Mother to make the decision."

The three of them deliberated, and Gongsun Jin entered the palace to face the saint, and Wang, as the second-rank imperial order, wore the official attire of the imperial order, and the servants prepared a carriage, and went to Xishan to ask for the empress dowager.

Empress Dowager Wei's family background is not obvious, she was just a talented person of the first emperor back then, and was not taken seriously.It's just that the late emperor had many heirs, secretly fighting for power and profit all day long.In the 21st year of the first emperor, the prince tried to usurp the throne, but was suppressed by the first emperor. In a fit of anger, the first emperor killed the prince and exiled the princes to the border, never to return to the court.Therefore, there are only Wei Cairen and the young Qikun left in the palace.Emperor Qikun was also considered lucky. He had no intention of competing at first, but he won the throne in the end. It can be seen that fate is destined.

Emperor Qikun was in charge when he was more than ten years old, and the situation in the court was chaotic, thanks to the empress dowager's skillful skills and the ability to assist the prime minister.After ten years, Fang pacified the civil strife and transformed the four kingdoms into cities, which can be described as a remarkable achievement.After the situation stabilized, he handed over the power in his hands to Qikun without any hesitation, and retreated to the harem by himself, without any troubles.In recent years, he has devoted himself to worshiping the Buddha, and almost always lives in the Foguang Temple in Xishan.

As soon as Zhong Kunyi returned home, she told Meng Zhang about Yuxiu's begging to marry Ling Guang, and Meng Zhang said anxiously: "This king is also considered a hero, how can he do such a thing as a forced marriage? ?”

"The custom of living here is very different from that of our dynasty. I heard that after the death of its successive kings, the unborn palace members of the harem will be inherited by the new king."

"It's really a barbaric place, so ignorant of etiquette and disregard of human relations." Meng Zhang slapped the table angrily: "Did the husband advise His Majesty not to do such absurd things according to his words?"

Zhong Kunyi shook his head and said, "The situation in the Highness today is not the time to persuade you."

Meng Zhang frowned: "Then what does His Majesty say?"

"Your Majesty did not expect him to make such a move, and it is difficult to make a decision for a while."

"I just hope that the king of Xunsu will not be attached to brother Lingguang. If His Majesty marry him to Xunsu, according to his temperament, I am afraid that he will not even die."

Zhong Kunyi sighed: "It's a pity that the conditions for the peace negotiation are harsh. If you want to break the deadlock and strive for the greatest benefits for our court, Mr. Lingguang is the key to breaking the situation. I'm afraid your majesty will..., hey, brother Gongsun!" It's also a rough marriage!"

Thinking of others and herself, looking at the charming husband in front of her, Zhong Kunyi sighed in her heart, and only after she hugged him into her arms did she calm down.

At this moment in Zhangtai Palace, Prime Minister Gongsun knelt down and worshiped on the ground.

Emperor Qikun walked down the steps and helped him up: "Why is the prime minister doing this? We all know that the prime minister is dedicated to the country, and Gongsun Qian is also young and promising, and he can be the pillar of the country. How can he have the heart to make it so difficult for you? I only hate that old man." Aggressive."

"Your Majesty," Gongsun Jin frowned, "Qian'er is still dealing with the follow-up matters in Beirong. How could I expect someone to take the opportunity to covet my grandson-in-law? If he is not the king, what does the old man want to teach him face to face?" It's etiquette, righteousness and shame!"

Emperor Qikun was also worried. Although seeking to marry a Kun Xing who was already engaged was tantamount to seizing his husband, but he had a strong army and a strong country. If this matter affected the peace talks between the two countries, the loss would not be worth the loss.At the moment, it is just to appease Gongsun Jin, and promise to discuss with the King of Susu again.

At this moment, in Xiao's mansion, Xiao Ying was painting. Hearing the news from the servant, she threw away her paintbrush with joy and hurried to find Mrs. Su.

Because Su Shi was reprimanded by Xiao Zhi before, she had to assume the responsibility of being the head of the house. She called a few Kunxing bastards into the house, and invited the husband to teach.

At this time, the air is warm in late spring and the drizzle is like silk.Su shi lazily leaned on the couch, looking at the next few concubines, upset for no reason.How can these evil bastards born of lowly servants get the blessing to be taught by him himself?

"Father!" Xiao Ying trotted all the way to Su's house, holding up the hem of her clothes.

"Ying'er." Seeing him coming, a smile appeared on Su's face.

"Why are you in such a hurry, look at your sweaty head, come and sit here with Dad." Shi Shi beckoned Xiao Ying to come and sit on the couch, lovingly took out a silk handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

"Father." Xiao Ying blushed, looked at the concubines sitting first, and hesitated to speak.

Mrs. Su understood, stood up and said to everyone: "Okay, I'm tired today too, you guys should go back earlier and have a rest."

Everyone stood up, saluted him and left.

Xiao Zhen walked a few steps, turned around, nodded slightly to a servant, and then backed away.

There were only two personal servants of the Su family left in the room, so Xiao Ying hurriedly said, "Father, have you heard? The King of Susu asked to marry the third son of the Ling family."

"Oh?" Su Shi wondered, "It's Ling Guang? Isn't he already engaged to the grandson of Prime Minister Gongsun?"

Xiao Ying said with a smile: "The king of Susu is also a real character, he only said that it doesn't matter whether he is engaged or not, as long as he has no children, he can ask for marriage according to their customs."

"This King Susu's words are also amazing! But the Ling family is also a cheap hoof, if it weren't for him, why would you be..." Su couldn't continue, took a sip of fragrant tea, and said: "Look My son's expression, what do you still think about that Gongsun Qian?"
