Hearing Wan Qixie's words, the hall instantly fell silent, and Han Yuzhou yelled secretly. He didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the Jianghu, so he didn't know Song Qingshu's marriage very well. It's fine to say that he wants to marry two princesses, the emperor's tone seems to be loose, but his family actually has a real wife!
In his heart, he wanted to blame Song Qingshu to death, but now that everyone was in the same boat, Han Yuzhou could only bite the bullet and help him out: "Although Zhou Zhiruo is the head of a sect, in the final analysis, she is just a woman in the world, how can she compare with a big brother?" Princess Song is such a golden branch and jade leaf. After Mr. Song wins the princess, Miss Zhou will naturally abdicate to give way to the virtuous, so you don't have to worry about it, Mr. Wancheng."
Wan Qixie was still fine, but Song Qingshu spoke up first: "Zhiruo is the wife of a Ming matchmaker in Song Dynasty. She used to be, and she will be in the future."
Han Tuozhou almost fainted out of anger, thinking that he really didn't know what to do, so he stood aside with a livid face, and decided not to help him anymore.
Wan Qixi smiled, thinking Song Qingshu, Song Qingshu, see if you will die this time, and immediately said with a smile on the face: "Then your Excellency means that you plan to marry the two princesses back?"
Song Qingshu didn't seem to know his intention, and replied indifferently: "So what?"
As soon as this remark came out, the hall was in an uproar. Han Yuzhou felt a little dizzy with his hands on his eyes; Jia Sidao stood aside watching the play with a half-smile on his face; the edge of.
Wan Qixi felt that the time was almost up, so he jumped out and scolded: "You are so arrogant, you actually want the princess to be a concubine? This is a naked contempt for the majesty of the royal family. It is simply unreasonable."
Song Qingshu said coldly: "The princess of Mongolia can do it, and the princess of Jin country can do it too, but the princess of Song country who is a vassal to them can't do it?"
He is not short-sighted, but deliberately showing such arrogance, the purpose is still to strive for more benefits during the peace talks. And as a later generation, he is very clear about the pissing nature of the emperors and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty. The tougher your attitude is, the weaker they will be. On the contrary, if you show weakness, just wait for them to show their fangs.
Hearing his words, the hall fell silent instantly, and a group of people looked at each other in blank dismay. Even Zhao Gou showed a look of surprise. The news that came out of Song Qingshu's mouth today became more and more shocking, making them a little numb.
"Nonsense, which Mongolian princess did it, and which Jin princess did it?" Wan Qixie, as one of the officials, knew a little about the courts of Jin and Mongolia, and made a list of the princesses and princesses in his mind. After filtering it again, it was confirmed that no one married someone else as a concubine, and immediately became more confident.
"How can the majestic royal family let the princess and princess be a concubine?" Wan Qixi sneered secretly in his heart, and decided to use this as an excuse to crucify Song Qingshu to death today.
"Princess Qi of the Kingdom of Jin has been betrothed to me." Song Qingshu replied.
"Princess of the Qi Kingdom?" Jia Sidao's expression froze, "But Wanyanping, the younger sister of the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom?"
Song Qingshu smiled slightly: "That's right, it's her. Wanyanping is Tang Kuobian's wife and sister. In order to let us get closer, Tang Kuobian specially arranged for her. All the princesses in your country know about it."
Everyone in the Southern Song Dynasty frowned. They were all elites who had been in the political arena. If Tang Kuo argued that this move was just on a whim, for the sake of a so-called marriage, no one would believe it. contributed to.
In order to win over the Golden Snake Camp, the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin was really willing to spend all his money!
This was the thought of many people in the field. Some people of insight immediately realized that if the Golden Snake Camp and the Kingdom of Jin advanced and retreated together, the situation in the Southern Song Dynasty would be in danger.
"If the Kingdom of Jin can marry a princess, why can't we marry princesses? No matter how powerful the Qi Kingdom is, there is only one princess, but we have two princesses, Cheng De Di Ji and Rou Fu Di Ji, at least in terms of numbers." Many people thought so, but no one dared to say what was in their hearts before they knew what Zhao Gou was thinking.
Zhao Gou, who was on the dragon chair, was also secretly startled. No wonder Song Qingshu had the confidence to propose a marriage. It turned out that he had such a trump card. He knew in his heart that if Jin Guo really married Princess Qi to the other party, then he could only agree to marry the princess, even if he couldn't completely win over Jin Snake Ying, it would be better for him to remain neutral and not help each other.
Coughing twice, Zhao Gou asked, "What happened to the Mongolian princess that Song Qing's family mentioned just now?" Mongolia is now so powerful that it may have surpassed all other countries. He seems to know what Mongolia is to the Golden Snake Camp manner.
"Mongol King Ruyang has betrothed Princess Shaomin to me, Master Han can testify to that." Song Qing said in a written tone, since King Ruyang is not here anyway, what about Zhao Min, based on the relationship between me and her She shouldn't mind me pulling her tiger skin because of her friendship.
Han Yuzhou realized that he had become the focus of everyone's attention, and hurriedly said: "Last time in Yangzhou, Wang Baobao did call him brother-in-law."
"How is it possible!" Wan Qixi was in a hurry. Just now Princess Jin had proof from all the concubines that it was inconvenient for him. Now facing Han Yuzhou, his tone is not so polite, "Master Han, is it because you have a good relationship with Song Qingshu?" , deliberately lying for him?"
Han Yuzhou shouted angrily: "Lord Zuo Xiang, please pay attention to your words! Han is so loyal to His Majesty, how could he do such a thing? I am not the only one who knows the titles between Song Qingshu and Wang Baobao. Ji Dian, Wu Tiande, and Xin Qiji from the Privy Council, Mr. Xin, Mr. Lu You and Mr. Lu, were all present at the time. Mr. Zuo Xiang, you can doubt me, Mr. Xin and Mr. Lu. Don’t you still doubt the emperor’s imperial guards? Equipment?"
"I don't dare!" Wan Qixie hurriedly said, what a joke, they are the emperor's most personal and ace guards with the imperial equipment, each of them is not only strong in martial arts, but also loyal to the royal family. If he doubts these people, one is to beat them up. It hurt Zhao Gou's face, and second, he offended a large number of people. After all, the identity of each person with a royal device is not simple.
Jia Sidao, who was watching the play, suddenly said, "May I ask Mr. Song, where is Princess Shaomin now? I handed over my son to her last time, but now I have completely lost track of him."
Song Qingshu's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm: "Hmph, I still want to ask your country about this matter. Princess Shaomin lost news after he went to Lin'an as an envoy. I went south this time to ask for a marriage. So you’re planning to come here to discuss a law.”
Zhao Gou finally couldn't sit still. After all, the majestic Mongolian princess disappeared in the Song Dynasty. It was safe and sound at that time, but after going out of the city for about a hundred miles, something happened and disappeared, I have ordered a thorough investigation of this matter, and I will definitely give an explanation to Ruyang Palace when the time comes."
Song Qingshu smiled slightly: "Since the emperor is like this, he will naturally keep his word, and Song will wait for the good news."
Zhao Gou smiled, but the smile was a bit forced. He had been investigating the disappearance of Princess Shaomin for a long time, but he found nothing useful except that someone had mobilized the Imperial Army, although he probably knew about it. Who transferred the imperial army, but the whereabouts of Princess Shaomin are still unclear.
"Even if Mongolia and the Kingdom of Jin marry the princess to you, that's not the reason for my Song Dynasty to marry the princess to you. My Song Dynasty is a country of etiquette, so how can it be a barbarian country like Mongolia and Jin Kingdom, a land of alienation? Comparable?" Wan Qixie and Song Qingshu have already formed a blood feud, so he is the last person in this hall who does not want Song Qingshu to succeed in his marriage proposal. The situation melted like ice and snow, and he might no longer be able to take revenge on Song Qingshu with the power in his hands.
Song Qingshu glanced at him coldly: "Lord Wancheng, you must know that the reason why you can sit on the position of prime minister is largely due to the political capital of the peace talks with the Kingdom of Jin. At that time, do you think they will find another spokesperson?"
These words were like a loud slap to Wan Qixie's face, and many people in the hall looked at him with contempt. Everyone knows how Wan Qixi climbed up step by step, attached to Qin Hui, surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin, begged for peace, and framed Yue Fei...all of which will be infamous for thousands of years.
Song Qingshu changed the subject and continued to add: "What's more, Mongolia and the Song Dynasty are now in an alliance, and the Mongols are most concerned about face. If they hear this, they don't immediately send troops south, at least returning Sichuan. I reconsidered it, and I am afraid that Master Wanqi will become the eternal sinner of Song Dynasty."
Zhao Gou was shocked. He had no aggressiveness, but he had a strong sense of self-preservation. Nowadays, half of the country in the Southern Song Dynasty relies on the natural danger of the Yangtze River, and it can still be safe. The only fear is that Sichuan is occupied by the enemy, like the sword of Damocles Generally hanging high above the head, threatening the safety of the country's flanks at any time.
Before, because of Wan Qixie, he had a greedy heart. Sichuan wanted it, and the land of Lianghuai also wanted it.
"Wan Qixie, you talk too much today." Zhao Gou said coldly, mobilizing the forbidden army privately has already violated his Ni Lin. The reason why he didn't move him was because he was still useful, not for Leave him to mess with himself.
"The humble minister is terrified." Being reprimanded by the emperor in front of all civil and military officials, Wan Qixi's face turned green and then pale, and he hated Song Qingshu to the bone in his heart.
"The matter of asking to marry the princess will be discussed later. In order to thank Song Qing's family for their righteous deeds to the Kingdom of Jin, I will specially hold a banquet in the palace tonight, and then I will invite Song Qing's family to show their respect." Knowing that the power behind Song Qingshu is stronger than I imagined Much stronger, Zhao Gou's words suddenly became more polite than before.
"It's a great honor for Song!" Song Qingshu bowed slightly and saluted, knowing that Zhao Gou was going to discuss with the officials, and he might have nothing to do with him, so he stood up and said goodbye, but Zhao Gou didn't keep him, and sent eunuchs to escort him out of the palace. .
Walking to a secluded place, Song Qingshu used the soul-shifting spell on the eunuch, while he quietly walked towards the cold palace. He saw someone giving poisoned wine last night, and he was still a little worried about Li Yuanzhi's safety, so he wanted to check again.
Arriving at the Leng Palace, who knew that there was no sign of that girl in the room, his heart sank.
