A few months later, the news of the Japanese pirates' request for a marriage was introduced into the capital along with the howling autumn wind, and immediately aroused various debates in the court.Among them, a group of old ministers, such as Master Su, the minister of Taipusi, insisted on their own views, and wanted to exchange the princess for peace in the world.So this day the court brought up this matter again, and Su Zhao said generously, "This is where the princess' righteousness lies, and she should have sacrificed for the country." Jia Lang was furious when he heard it, and wanted to rip off his beard one by one. unplug it.

Su Zhao, Minister of the Taipu Temple, is Su Qing's father.At this moment, he bowed and stood under the white jade stone steps, and the saliva he said was so plausible that the emperor on the seat frowned unconsciously.

Although he was concerned that Zhaoning was too talented, he still kind of loved this daughter sincerely—besides, she was a decent golden branch and jade leaf, how could she marry in that barbaric place and suffer?As a result, his expression became somewhat displeased.It's just that there is no suitable age candidate among the royal family. The younger sister of the king of Nan'an County is now twelve years old, and she is indeed a little younger.

He frowned and pondered, and in the eyes of Su Zhao below, he became hesitant about this matter.Su Zhao was determined, knelt down in front of the stone steps, and said in tears: "It is the princess who can sacrifice for the world's community! After this trip, the princess will definitely admire the people and record it in the annals of history! Otherwise if......"

He didn't go any further, but all the officials knew what he meant.

Otherwise, what's the use of having this princess?

The royal family has raised her honorably for more than ten years, isn't it for the purpose of getting married or getting married one day?Besides, what else can she do?

Jia Lang looked around slowly, everyone's faces were numb almost as a matter of course, even the few princes who had been in charge of the court remained silent, as if what they were talking about was not their own sister.Several ministers who seconded the proposal came forward one after another, but none of them spoke out against it.

They exchanged glances that only they understood, and there was a well-known indifference and calculation in the eyes, and even the officials who had been in charge of the battle before had suddenly become mouthless gourds at this moment.

Yes, war requires a lot of food and a lot of money, so how can it be easier than marrying a princess directly?

And compared to this world, what is a little girl in Zhaoning?

Jia Lang suddenly felt that there was an overwhelming chill coming from this magnificent hall, which made his blood become icy cold.He almost couldn't help standing up, but silently returned his shaking figure to its original position, quietly waiting for the rightful lord to appear.

The emperor tapped the gold-plated handrail with his fingers one after another, hesitating in his heart, but suddenly saw a woman in white, coming lightly from the entrance of the main hall.

He paused with his hands and squinted.Immediately, he frowned and said coldly, "Zhaoning, what are you doing?"

Zhaoning?

This sound caused many ministers to look sideways. The woman in white clothes did not wear any jewelry, but she had a burning brilliance emerging from her body.She has a bright and bright face, but there are a lot of masculine heroes between her brows. When she takes a step forward, she unconsciously exudes a bit of arrogance that looks down on the world.

Su Zhao's complexion suddenly became ugly, it was very cloudy and uncertain.He stroked his beard with his hands, and said angrily: "Your Highness, this is the main hall, not the back garden of the palace!"

Zhaoning didn't even glance at him, but just strode forward.Immediately, under the angry or disdainful eyes of everyone, he bowed his body and saluted, and said: "I think this matter is related to me, and I should be the one who should be present."

The beards of several old ministers were about to be crooked by anger, and they hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with the rules! If the princess can enter this hall at will, what will happen?"

"What is the system?"

Zhaoning sneered, then raised her head, looked back at the condescending emperor looking down at her without fear, and said word by word: "The emperor father, how decent is he now?"

"Send a concubine to live in the country, but I don't know where to use the general. Is this the decency that the ministers said?"

Su Zhao sternly said: "Since the princess enjoys rich clothes and fine food, she should have this awareness. It is really absurd to trespass on the court today, please my emperor make a clear judgment and deal with the princess according to the palace rules." !"

He bent down hard and hit his forehead on the cold floor.But Zhaoning's back was straight, and he said lightly: "Master Su's words are even more absurd. Could it be that all the generals in the court have never received a salary? Why is there no one willing to come out?" In order to fight for the country, I need my palace to marry far away in order to maintain peace in the world?"

Several military officers were ashamed by her clear eyes, and unconsciously lowered their heads.

"Therefore, I beg you on my knees," Zhao Ning said, "I ask the emperor to allow me to lead my troops to the South China Sea to fight to the death with the Japanese pirates."

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers were stunned.Immediately, like a drop of water dropped into the hot oil, Chaotang exploded the pot instantly.Everyone's faces were in disbelief, and they knelt down one by one and shouted: "Your Majesty, this is not in line with the old law of the ancestors!"

"How can women lead soldiers?" Another military officer sneered, "This is not a child's play!"

Su Zhao also shook his head again and again, and said: "My daughter's family should marry early and have children to continue the incense. How can it be your women's turn to take care of the war?"

"I can't help it," Zhao Ning chuckled, "it's you men who stand up to heaven and earth, and you would rather sacrifice this palace than fight the enemy yourself. Although this palace is a daughter, it is also the noble blood of the royal family. Know right and wrong. Today is the princess marriage, tomorrow it is for money, and tomorrow it is for land. After a few days, the world will know that we are weak and can be bullied, and the country will be ruined!"

There was a burning light in her eyes, and she said firmly: "I can't give up an inch of Daqing's land; I can't give away any of my Daqing's wealth; my daughter of Daqing can't be bullied!"

The emperor looked at her, this delicate girl who usually lay on his knees and acted like a baby, now she looked more like a mature adult.Although she was kneeling, she was tall and straight like a green pine, and she was unwilling to lower her head even an inch under heavy snow.

Without warning, he sighed softly again.

"If you are a man, it will be fine."

Zhaoning raised her head and looked at the emperor, who was sitting firmly on the gilded throne, looking at her from the thin curtain hanging from his crown.

"Among my nine children, you are the only one who follows my temper the most." He sighed softly, and said slowly as if recalling, "You didn't like to cry when you were young, even if you had smallpox Even stubbornly scratching and refusing to scratch... Then I knew that you were the most like me."

His eyes were gentle and in a daze, but Zhaoning felt sour when he heard it, and said in a low voice: "If the minister is not a man, can't he contribute to the society? The minister would rather die on the battlefield , and I don’t want to be sent away in such a humiliating way to marry someone I’ve never met!”

"There is no room for the princess to speak about important matters in the court," Su Zhao interrupted her coldly, "It is better for the princess to return home quickly. A daughter's family, don't say such things to make people laugh again, the daughter's family is originally It is useless, it should be married and have children, and it is the right thing to be a husband and a child at home, but the princess has forgotten all about the Four Books for Women?"

"Master Su was just joking," another clear and youthful voice interrupted him. Su Zhao turned his head and saw the handsome and delicate young man who had been in his life slowly walking out from among the civil servants, and said, "Master Su is at home, the same is true." Did you speak to Lingtang?"

Su Zhao recognized at a glance that this was the young man Tanhua who had been favored by the emperor recently. Now because of his meritorious service in sweet potato planting and his extensive knowledge, he was transferred to be promoted to the fourth-rank minister of Honglu Temple.It's just that when he saw how young this person was, he felt a little annoyed in his heart: "Master Jia, how can you speak like this in front of the Holy One? What does this matter have to do with my mother?"

Jia Lang laughed softly, and said in a calm manner: "Master Su kept saying that women are useless, so Lingtang is not a woman at all?" So I asked out of curiosity, did your lord ever act like this in front of Lingtang? say?"

Su Zhao got a stalk in his throat, he naturally wouldn't.Now that the world is ruled by filial piety, how dare he talk to his mother like this, it's like swallowing a lemon all of a sudden, his complexion changes from green to white, it's wonderful.After a while, a sentence came out of his throat: "How can this be compared?"

"Why can't it be compared?" Jia Lang pressed on every step of the way, refusing to give in at all, "Heaven and earth are masters and masters, the princess is the daughter of a king, and she should be in front of the Lingtang. No matter how adults dare not talk to Lingtang like this, How dare you accuse the princess like this?"

His brows and eyes were extremely calm and calm, but the words he spoke were like knives, piercing straight into the blood dripping place.Su Zhao frowned violently, he didn't know how to answer for a while, and finally waved his sleeves angrily: "I am just speaking out and admonishing the people of the world. Even if it offends Shengyan for this, there will be consequences. It's up to people to judge! How can it be Master Jia's turn to mess around here?"

Seeing him, Jia Lang was obviously furious, and he had no intention of arguing with him.He just cupped his hands and faced the throne, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I believe that no matter male or female, they are all citizens of the country. If the princess has a good plan to defeat the enemy, she might as well let the princess try it. However, the princess has something to say, The Japanese pirates are greedy people, if their wishes are fulfilled so easily, wouldn't it appear that I, Daqing, are weak and can be bullied? In this way, even if it is a marriage, can we exchange a few years of peace?"

The emperor was silent, thinking carefully, and felt that what he said really made sense.He first asked Zhaoning, "What good plan do you have? Come quickly."

Zhaoning hurriedly presented the memorial that had already been written, and the imperial chief carefully unfolded it on the imperial case.The emperor and his party looked at each other, and the more they looked, the more their eyebrows stretched, and finally couldn't help shouting: "Okay, good strategy!"
