Tai Chi Hall
This is a day that belongs to Fang Jie.
However, there are too many people who are more excited than Fang Jie himself. Regardless of whether they were officials from the Black Banner Army or others, they all wore the most gorgeous court clothes to participate in the court meeting. Such a day is definitely not a day that is important to only one person, but everyone who gathers around Fang Jie.
Fang Jie is better, they are better.
Everyone stood outside the hall, waiting eagerly.
Soon, the man in royal robes will come from afar to accept the worship of the crowd. Everyone was just guessing whether the eldest princess of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Qinyan, would come. If she didn't come, it meant that she had completely given up on court affairs. If she comes... then she personally gave Da Sui to Fang Jie.
In fact, everyone knows well that the so-called kingship is just a necessary process. Although the Great Sui Dynasty has now collapsed and all places no longer accept imperial restraint, most people still live according to their old habits. No one wants to touch that layer of window paper first, because if it is pierced, it will be like piercing the hymen of many people, causing screams.
Yes, everyone present knows that this is just a process. Maybe it won't be long before a grander ceremony will take place. At that time, Fang Jie will no longer be wearing a black dragon-embroidered royal robe, but... Ming Huang Si, who represents the pinnacle of secular power.
While everyone was waiting, Fang Jie and Yang Qinyan were actually sitting opposite each other in the Yonghe Hall behind the Taiji Hall.
The eldest princess is wearing a splendid dress, so she needs to sit upright to maintain such cumbersome ornaments on her body. Just the gold jewelry on the head already makes people's neck a little uncomfortable. It is not easy to look graceful and luxurious while sitting without embarrassment. Yang Qinyan has been taught by officials of the Ministry of Rituals and royal etiquette teachers since she was a girl.
As for Fang Jie, he was still wearing the black robe he usually likes to wear.
Very ordinary clothes.
"Maybe it's all wrong today."
Yang Qinyan glanced at Fang Jie: "Perhaps, since I escaped from Changchun Garden and escaped from Chang'an City, this mistake has been irreversible. I once wanted to restore the Yang family's rule over the Sui Dynasty by my own ability, and even in some At that time, I firmly believed that I could do it... But the reality taught me a lesson, telling me what is wishful thinking. There are naturally many reasons for this, and the most unacceptable but must-accept reason is... I am a woman."
She seemed to sigh: "So, I am doomed to fail."
Fang Jie didn't answer, but just listened quietly.
"But... I think I should really thank you."
Yang Qinyan leaned forward slightly, picked up the teacup on the table in front of her with a movement that couldn't pick out any flaws, and took a small sip. Sometimes people drink water not because they are thirsty. She needed an action to calm her heart at this moment, even though she knew it was impossible.
"If you hadn't sent someone to rescue me, I might have died in Changchun Garden. Although this is only a possibility, it is a life-saving grace after all."
She leaned over as a thank you: "Thank you."
Fang Jie shook his head: "Whether you believe it or not, I never rescued you for today. I never needed the testimony of your Yang family to show that I am upright. If I wanted to, I would have done so a long time ago. You can sit on the throne. I have waited until today, not because I waited for you to bestow it... To be honest, your gift can only comfort the hearts of those who still have feelings for Tai Sui, making them think that my throne is you What is bestowed, not what I fought for myself."
Yang Qinyan did not expect Fang's explanation to be so straightforward, but now she is not unacceptable to such words.
"What is this?"
She tilted her head and thought for a while: "It's like a woman is raped, and then the other party pretends to be gentle, so she can pretend it's your love?"
Fang Jie tilted his head: "This is something that only the raped person would think about. The raped one only thinks about whether it is comfortable."
Yang Qinyan was stunned, and smiled wryly.
"You want to tell me that no matter what fantasies I have, Da Sui is a thing of the past? Even if it's just a little psychological comfort?"
"OK."
Fang Jie said seriously: "If you want to live in this state forever."
Yang Qinyan didn't speak for a long time. After a while, she turned her head and looked out of the window: "All the civil and military officials are already waiting in front of the Taiji Hall. Maybe a long time ago, our Yang family also enjoyed this kind of atmosphere. Walk into the Tai Chi Hall."
"So it's fair."
Fang Jie said.
Yang Qinyan hummed: "I've been telling myself that if you can't change anything, don't force yourself to try to change anything. Whenever this happens, I have to admit my cowardice. Jiangshan is absolutely determined to die. I want to live, even if I am not happy."
"There's always some joy."
Fang explained.
Yang Qinyan fell into silence again, but her expression became more and more flat.
"If I were the old me, I would definitely put some unrealistic conditions on you. I even thought that if you want to be king, I will give you the throne, but the system of the Sui Dynasty cannot be changed, and the country name of the Sui Dynasty cannot be changed. At worst, I will give you the greatest right to take charge of state affairs and affairs of the world, as long as you save the last bit of face before Da Sui. But then I realized how naive I am... Why should I tell you these things? As you said just now, These are not my bestowals, but you have come step by step by yourself. It is a joke for me to want everything extravagantly based on my status as a worthless princess of the Yang family."
Fang Jie didn't answer.
Yang Qinyan breathed a sigh of relief: "So, the biggest difference between me now and me before is that... the conditions are different. I will dress up to attend your grand ceremony, and announce in public that the world will be handed over to you. Just give me a promise... how do you arrange me?"
Fang Jie suddenly raised his head and looked at this woman who still made himself look noble.
She still maintains the posture of a princess, struggling to support the last pride of the Yang family, just because she feels that there is something noble in her blood.
Fang Jie suddenly felt that this woman was also pitiful.
…
…
"After you become king, it is equivalent to erasing the last imprint left by the Yang family in Chang'an City and in the Taiji Palace. This capital city built by the Yang family for two hundred years has changed its surname from now on. I can no longer use Dao The status of Princess Sui came to negotiate terms with you, you can treat this capital city as a gift that the Yang family is unwilling to give you, as a gift in return... how do you arrange me?"
Yang Qinyan asked twice.
She still raised her jaw slightly proudly, and still tried her best to maintain the demeanor that a princess should have. Speaking of it, she is really not a beautiful woman like Shen Qingfan Ningzhi, but she always has such a temperament that makes men heartbroken.
In other words, it is a desire for men to conquer.
Because...she's a princess.
Whether you admit it or not, say something very rude... Maybe every man has a fantasy in his heart that he can fuck a princess, especially a woman whose face is not as beautiful as a fairy, but also a woman who is above average. It seems that every little boy may have fantasized about conquering his beautiful female teacher. It was as if every soldier with pimples on his face had fantasized about conquering his beautiful female officer.
It is said that after the establishment of the country in Dazheng in the previous dynasty, the founding emperor of Dazheng bestowed a princess of the previous dynasty on to a general with great military exploits. The general didn’t go out for a few days. Later, someone asked him what he was doing. The general replied with some pride: "Fuck the princess."
It was such a natural answer.
The person who asked him was his good friend, so he didn't have any scruples in speaking: "The princess is extremely ugly, and her body is as fat as a pig. How dare you do this for several days in a row?"
"It's really not beautiful, and it's not fragrant. I feel like vomiting after a long time."
The general replied, "But, she is a princess. And, I conquered her."
His friend was speechless, and after thinking for a long time, he had to admit: "This is indeed a very fulfilling thing."
How to arrange me
This is the question raised by Yang Qinyan, and she is waiting for Fang Jie's answer.
"Just keep being your princess."
This is Fang Jie's answer.
"What kind of princess do you want to be?"
Yang Qinyan asked.
"In a short time, maybe you will choose one of your generals. On the surface, it seems that I have taken a fancy to that person and married him. In fact, you threw it out casually, as if throwing away a burden? Or if you are more ruthless, just give me a glass of poisoned wine?"
She sneered, with a strange expression on her haughty face.
"Won't."
Fang Jie shook his head.
"Nothing?"
Yang Qinyan continued to ask: "Will you throw me to a man casually, or will you not poison me to death?"
Fang Jie couldn't answer.
He knew that he couldn't kill this woman, but the former... why didn't he think about it? So he can't answer because he doesn't want to cheat this woman.
"Sometimes choices are made when there is no choice like this."
Yang Qinyan carefully straightened her hair at the temples, making the gold ornaments on her head look more perfect and dignified. It doesn't matter whether this small movement is to cover up her uneasiness or nervousness, or to cover up her disappointment that she can't control her own destiny. This action is a bit distressing.
She was a carefree person, if nothing unexpected happened, Emperor Yang Yi of God Bless would carefully select a young man with outstanding character, and then marry her off in a grand manner. As long as Da Sui is still there, she can continue to be a respectable princess freely, and even her man should be very humble to her.
But now, all of this is gone, long gone.
"Since my fate is only left with these two choices, either you will marry a man whose name I don't even know, or you or your subordinates will marry you with a glass of poisoned wine and a stick of white silk." A dagger kills a life, but these are the only two...why don't I pick one myself?"
"When I have the courage to face all this and stop thinking about finding a perfect life, what can you do? Can you give me a choice I want? If I say this choice, will you not Don’t you even have the courage to accept it?”
she asked.
Fang Jie nodded: "You say."
She suddenly raised her head to look into Fang Jie's eyes, raised her chin slightly, and still tried her best to maintain her arrogance and said word by word: "I want to be your woman!"
