Zhong Lishuo was stunned by Xuan Jingchen's words for a while. She looked up at Xuan Jingchen's serious look, stretched out her hand and pulled her over, wrapped her waist around her lap, and said to her, "This is not right, there is no precedent for a different surname in the previous dynasty. Your Majesty Giving me such a favor rashly will attract criticism."
Different surnames are not crowned kings. Even though the Zhongli royal family is not huge, the Chu State has always maintained their privileges.
Xuan Jingchen disapproved and said, "What's wrong? If the previous dynasty didn't have it, should the Qing Kingdom also have it? You are my royal husband, and I share the world with me. What's wrong with you being a mere king of Lizhou?"
Zhong Lishuo glanced at her helplessly, put his arms around her and whispered: "Your Majesty, you must know that once a precedent is set, the highest title in the Qing Kingdom will be the king. The king of one place, how many privileges he has, how many troubles he will incur. What about the stability factor? So this precedent cannot be opened."
From the moment she refused, Xuan Jingchen knew that her plan was going to be voided, and now it is quite interesting to hear Zhong Lishuo's serious analysis. She stretched out her hand, stroked Zhong Lishuo's cheek, and said softly, "If you can't make a king, you don't want to give the land. How about giving you the position of the prince?"
Zhong Lishuo was helpless, "Before the big wedding, Your Majesty wants to give favor to the Marquis of Zhenbei. My father is at most a prince. Does your majesty give me another prince, is that a good thing?"
"This doesn't work either, that doesn't work either, but what's the best way?" Xuan Jingchen looked at Zhong Lishuo softly with starry eyes, also helpless.
Zhong Lishuo smiled, stretched out his hand and took off Xuan Jingchen's hand on his cheek, put it on his lips, and branded a kiss on the back of her fair hand, "This is the best."
To be able to hold hands with you is the best grace.
Xuan Jingchen's breath stagnated, looking at the handsome young man who was holding him in his arms, raised her cheeks with both hands, and called her softly, "Little sir..."
"Huh?" Zhong Lishuo raised his head and met Xuan Jingchen's warm eyes.
"Does it still hurt?" Xuan Jingchen asked, Zhong Lishuo shook his head for unknown reasons.
The figure reflected in the pupils enlarged infinitely, and immediately the woman's soft and warm lips fell. Zhong Lishuo subconsciously closed his eyes, and heard a hoarse gasp in his ear: "Would you like to do it again tonight?"
This is something that doesn't need to be rejected, so Zhong Lishuo raised his head and held Xuan Jingchen's lips against the host.
The spring night was short, and the next morning, the two struggled to get up from the hibiscus tent and went to work each other.
In the court hall, there was a heated discussion on the matter of Subei. Xuan Jingchen sat on the throne and looked at the courtiers who insisted on their own words.
In this rebellion, the ambitions of Ming Geqi, the emperor of Subei, in the operation of it made the government and the public very uneasy. Su He was assassinated in Xishan, and then Zhong Licheng and Xu Mingyi rebelled. Perhaps soon, the news of Su Bei's invasion of Lanzhou will reach the capital.
"Xu Dang and the prince of Chu Ni Zhongzhou stole the weapons from Yuanzhou's arsenal, transported them to various states, and sold them to Ming Geqi. Ming Geqi's ambitions are so lofty that they cannot be tolerated. Enter the Qing Kingdom."
The main battle faction was impassioned in the court hall and said: "During the pre-Chu period, the territory of the Xian nationality under the barbarian branch was conquered by the state of Chu and mixed into Lanzhou. Go back to the north and incorporate it into the country, and unify the Kyushu!"
"Four years ago, Su Bei was beaten by His Majesty as a dwarf dog, so today the ministers can take advantage of His Majesty's might to subdue Ming Geqi!"
The minister who urged the war stood up and frowned and said, "Chu Ni's plan has just been settled, and there are hidden dangers everywhere.
"The general is so impassioned, but have you ever thought about whether the rear can support you? How can the people accept the war after only a long time of peace."
"My minister thought that Your Majesty might be able to Chen Bing Subei, and ordered the Subei nobles to execute Ming Geqi, and then send the Prince Su He back to Subei to secure the overall situation."
Both parties were very reasonable, and each had their own considerations. Xuan Jingchen listened to it for a while, then set his eyes on Le Zhengying and asked, "Sir Lezheng, what do you think?"
The hall was quiet, Le Zhengying pondered for a moment, raised the jade dug and said, "I think it is going to be a battle."
"It's a big problem at the border if you don't go back to the north. Since they have been called ministers before, they must always bow their heads to be ministers." Le Zhengying said slowly: "Ming Geqi's wolf ambitions are already unbearable, then in Let’s fight back to the north, be honest, let’s talk again. Prince Su He will stay in Yuanzhou until he can support a country, and then let him return to the grasslands.”
This is also what Xuan Jingchen meant, Xuan Jingchen nodded, and finally came to a conclusion, saying: "I think so too, then let's fight!"
"How can I be afraid of a savage king on horseback in Qing Kingdom? Since Su Bei frequently disrespects our Qing Kingdom, then hit him until he accepts his fate."
"It doesn't mean that the barbarians are tigers, wolves and eagles blessed by the eternal heaven. Then I plan to break his tiger's head, smash his wolf's bones, and tear off his wings. The only ones who can roam in this vast Kyushu are my Qing Kingdom. Flags!"
Xuan Jingchen said sternly, his eyes filled with endless majesty. This is the momentum of the Queen of Qing. When she uttered the last sentence in a deep voice, the officials bent down like a tidal wave, unanimously agreeing with her decision: "Your Majesty will last forever!"
Xuan Jingchen had already made a decision, and after expressing his will with all the ministers, he began to discuss the leader of the war with Subei. Each family has their own candidates. After Xuan Jingchen asked them, they recommended them one after another. Obviously, they were well prepared.
Xuan Jingchen appointed a prudent general to be the commander-in-chief, and ordered him to travel northward and join the Lanzhou garrison.
After the decree was issued, all the ministers understood that the Queen's decision on Subei was imperative. The Ministry of Punishment also talked about the time when Zhong Licheng and the others asked for the beheading in the autumn. Xuan Jingchen set the Meridian Gate, and Le Zhengying and Su Yanqing were in charge of the beheading, and everything in the court today seemed to be sorted out.
"My dear gentlemen, today's discussion has been decided. If you have something to play, let's go to the court if there is nothing." After Xuan Jingchen said these words, his eyes fell on the Minister of Rites, who was standing in the front of the hundred officials, and turned towards him. signal.
The old Shangshu understood, stood up with Yudu, and said in a righteous manner: "I have something to announce."
"Lord Old Shangshu, please speak again." Xuan Jingchen straightened his waist and set his eyes on the Minister of Rites.
The officials watched and waited for the old minister to speak. The old Shang Shu coughed lightly and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the Qing Kingdom has been in existence for a few years, the weather is good, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. Only recently there has been chaos, and Wei Chen deeply feels that His Majesty has been on the throne for many years without a crown prince, and the country's foundation is unstable. People are making trouble."
"That's why we have made a presentation, and I hope Your Majesty can put the big wedding on the agenda. There are many young talents here in the old minister, and they are definitely worthy of the choice of the Queen's wife. Your Majesty, for the sake of Jiangshan and society, please get married as soon as possible!"
This set of rhetoric, since last year, the ministers have not less listened to the Minister of Rites chanting in front of the emperor. I just didn't expect that, now that there is a Xu Dang in the DPRK, and they are going to declare war on Subei, the old Shangshu has not forgotten to force the queen to marry.
The ministers admired the old Shangshu's unrelenting reluctance, and even the old friend of the Shangshu, Prime Minister Wang, could not help but glanced at him in doubt, wondering what the old boy had done.
Xuan Jingchen frowned, and just when the ministers thought that the queen would say no as always, a senior minister named Xiang Sinian who had not spoken in the early days stood up.
The Chief Minister bowed and said to the Queen, "Your Majesty, the Lord Shang Shu is right. His Majesty is going to get married in recent years.
"Besides, this minister has recently measured one star's life and learned about the will of the East Emperor."
Xuan Jingchen set his eyes on Xiang Sinian, and seeing her expression did not change, he said, "Your Majesty has met someone who is destined, and the person in the middle palace has been chosen. Changlong is the husband-in-law chosen by the East Emperor for His Majesty. Therefore, I hope that His Majesty will carefully consider the proposal of Lord Shang Shu and prepare for the wedding."
The Minister of Rites laughed when he heard the words, looked at the Queen and said, "Your Majesty, the candidate has been decided, and I hope Your Majesty will obey the orders of the stars and prepare for the wedding."
"When you come back from the Battle of the North, let His Majesty's wedding be a grand ceremony of triumph."
The hundred officials were at a loss, looking at the Supervisory Division Heli, who had reached an agreement, with a little more measurement in their hearts. Xuan Jingchen was silent, looking at Xiang Sinian, wondering what he was thinking. Prime Minister Wang pondered for a moment, then said: "The big wedding at this time is a big event for my Qing Kingdom. I just don't know, who is the star destiny measured by the Da Si Ming?"
"It's the young son of the Hou family in Zhenbei, Le Zhengsu."
After Xiang Sinian finished speaking, he bowed to the Queen and saluted, and in front of the whispering officials, he said loudly: "Zhenbei Hou's Mansion Le Zhengsu is a person who bears the fate of the stars and enters the middle palace. For the prosperity of the country. , the country is prosperous, and please your majesty to follow the will of the East Emperor and get married as soon as possible."
Many people present remembered the extremely colorful cloud song on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, and the invitation from His Majesty outside the Xishan Palace. At this moment, when I saw Da Siming and the Minister of Rites, there was still something I didn't understand. No matter what they were thinking, they all bowed at the moment and said in unison, "I hope Your Majesty will follow the destiny of the stars and get married soon!"
In the voice of the officials, Zhenbeihou, who was in a complicated mood, bent over and said nothing.
Xuan Jingchen was stunned for a moment, stroked the handrail, looked at His Highness's officials, and breathed a sigh of relief. She set her eyes on the Marquis of Zhenbei, and after a while, she said, "Marquis Zhenbei..."
"I'm here..."
"Do you understand Da Si Ming's words?"
"Yes."
"Then... I want to marry the son of Le Zhengsu, and I will accept it as the emperor's husband. I wonder if the Marquis of Zhenbei will allow me?"
"This is the dog's great fortune, the minister should agree to it, thank you for your love."
Almost the same conversation, after getting permission again, Xuan Jingchen couldn't help but chuckle. She looked at His Highness's officials and said, "If that's the case, then let's get married!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Your Majesty will live forever!" Baiguan shouted, drowning Xuan Jingchen's uncontrollable laughter in the wave of congratulations.
