Emperor made a pair

Zhao Xuanyu, the king of Longteng, is the half-brother of King Ning Zhao Haiqing, the only son of the queen, and his grandfather is also a veteran of the court. He can be regarded as the most noble person among the princes.

Zhao Xuanyu was smart, beautiful and handsome since he was a child, and had a sweet mouth, which was the favorite of the late emperor; while Zhao Haiqing, the older brother, was a dull hammer, although he had practiced martial arts all over the body, and he didn't communicate with his brothers often, and he didn't know how to To curry favor with his father, not to mention that his mother was just a lowly maid in the court, and could not be his backer. Therefore, the position of crown prince naturally fell to Zhao Xuanyu's head.

Fortunately, the first emperor still had some sympathy for Zhao Haiqing, and by chance, he discovered that his martial arts were so strong that he was rarely rivaled in the highest-level Shence army, so he simply let him devote himself to martial arts and assist the prince.

These years, Zhao Haiqing has led his own soldiers to fight everywhere, and Longteng's territory has become wider and wider, and his national strength has been increasing day by day, and now he is also an official worshiped general, and he is a figure with great reputation in the court.

General Xiaoqi has made outstanding military exploits and devoted himself to the country. The ministers' eyes on him gradually changed from initial indifference to admiration. Seeing that he is handsome and single now, many people want to marry him.

As a monarch, Zhao Xuanyu naturally couldn't be ignorant of this.

He congratulated Zhao Haiqing happily with his officials, said some words of praise, and then leisurely raised his wine glass.

"Gu and General Xiaoqi are brothers. Today's great joy for the country will be inseparable. Brother, I respect you a cup."

Zhao Haiqing hurriedly got up to respond.

After the two drank it all in one gulp, Zhao Xuanyu glanced around, paused his gaze on Prime Minister Zhong's face, and then retracted it, and said to Zhao Haiqing in a warm spring breeze: "My brother has been fighting outside all year round, and no one at home cares about it. Now that the world is at peace, it's time for brother to think about important things in life."

The discussion in the hall became a little louder. According to what His Majesty said, he actually wanted to marry King Ning?I don't know whose daughter has this blessing, can it be given to the best bachelor in the capital today?

Prime Minister Zhong looked at Zhao Haiqing a little nervously, hoping that he could propose marriage with his family in time, lest His Majesty mess up the mandarin ducks and miss the marriage of his daughter.

Zhao Haiqing himself had the same intention, when he was about to speak, he heard Zhao Xuanyu say again: "Master Li has gone to Fengxiang, and he has asked for a good marriage for my brother."

The officials were stunned, Zhao Haiqing was slightly taken aback, and Prime Minister Zhong was even tongue-tied, looking at Zhao Xuanyu and then at Zhao Haiqing in a daze.

Master Li is naturally that goatee.He stood up and bowed to Zhao Haiqing from a distance, and said enthusiastically: "Congratulations, my lord! Among the four princes of Fengxiang, the emperor Yuntian has an outstanding appearance, and he is the destiny of Xuanxing, who is rare in a thousand years. With this person in the family, there will be peace. Wealthy, the country owns this person, and there will be eternal peace! The prince and the four princes are a match made in heaven. If the two can get married, the family and country will be prosperous! The officials really couldn't bear to miss such a good marriage, so they asked for marriage on their own initiative , I hope the prince will forgive me..."

After Zhao Haiqing was shocked, he glanced at Master Li calmly and sneered in his heart.

──Self-assessment?If it wasn't for His Majesty's acquiescence, how dare you little Li Baoquan be involved in the Lord's marriage? !It's ridiculous that two men can be said to be a match made in heaven!

He should have expected it a long time ago, the master's skill is so high, sooner or later he will arouse his master's vigilance!

Prime Minister Zhong was worried and anxious, and wanted to speak several times, but he didn't know what position to speak in, so he turned his eyes to King Ning for help, hoping that he could return this ridiculous marriage.

The other ministers also talked a lot, and they didn't understand why His Majesty was so absurd, and pointed a man to the dignified King Ning, which was tantamount to embarrassing him in front of everyone!

There are also sensitive people aware of the stakes. King Ning's prestige in the court is getting higher and higher, which is very dangerous for the emperor.The world is established, it seems that the emperor intends to take countermeasures to prevent King Ning from expanding his power, so as to consolidate his position...

Zhao Xuanyu knocked on the armrest slowly, and said: "I know that it is too difficult for my elder brother to marry a man as his wife, but that Xuan Xing's destiny is really rare, and it is compatible with my elder brother... Alas, whatever, if my elder brother is not willing, I will do it for you." Elder brother, return this marriage."

Everyone held their breath, waiting for King Ning to react.

──If the emperor personally refers to someone, if he does not marry, it will be a disgrace to the emperor; but if he marries, where will his face as a prince and general be placed?

Zhao Xuanyu cast a glance at Prime Minister Zhong, who was dripping with sweat, and said with a casual smile: "I heard that my brother and Prime Minister Zhong have a very close personal relationship, but I just remember that Prime Minister Zhong has a daughter who is still waiting in his boudoir. How about pointing Miss Zhong to..."

At this moment, Zhao Haiqing suddenly made a sound, interrupting Zhao Xuanyu's words.

"──Since it is the destiny, how can I refuse to obey?"

Zhao Xuanyu was slightly stunned, and then heard Zhao Haiqing continue: "The emperor misses this humble minister, and I am very grateful. There is a saying in ancient books that Xuan Xing's destiny is a person of auspiciousness from heaven. It would be great if he could welcome him into the dragon. "

Prime Minister Zhong looked at King Ning dumbfounded as if struck by lightning, as if he couldn't believe that he would say such a thing—if he married that man, where would he put his daughter? !

Zhao Haiqing didn't seem to see Prime Minister Zhong's expression, and clasped his fists at Zhao Xuanyu and said, "After one month, I will personally welcome Prince Fengxiang outside the Houde Gate. I will treat him with all my heart and make a hundred years of friendship."

King Ning's words almost shocked everyone present, including the emperor and the ministers.

Afterwards, the hall was silent for a long time before there was a sound of unembarrassed blessings.

That night until the celebration banquet was over, the emperor was lying in the arms of his beloved concubine Xiangruan, still not understanding how his elder brother planned to "make a century-old relationship" with a prince with a handle.
