As soon as Mo Rongzhan came out of Xiuhe Palace, he heard that Song Hongao, the envoy of Qi State, had entered the palace to ask for an audience.
What did Song Hongao do in the palace? Do you want to talk to him about marrying the princess of Qi after the abolition? Murongzhan raised his eyebrows in disgust. If this was the case, he couldn't help but kill Zhao Yong directly in the capital.
"Go to Qianqing Palace." Mo Rongzhan said flatly, and came to Qianqing Palace to meet Song Hongao.
Seeing Mo Rongzhan's indifferent face, Song Hongao knew that he was very displeased with Zhao Yong's suggestion of abolishing the empress. Sincerity, Qi State is willing to marry the princess to Jin State and become the noble concubine of Jin State. This is a step back from them, and they only hope that the two countries can get the greatest benefits.
Concubine? Mo Rongzhan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Song Hongao, "Song Shizi, your lord changed his mind quite quickly, don't you need to ask your emperor's opinion first?"
Song Hongao didn't know that Mo Rongzhan knew Zhao Yong's identity long ago, "Your Majesty, what our prince means is what the emperor means."
Mo Rongzhan nodded with a smile, "I see, I will consider the marriage between the two countries."
consider? Song Hongao was surprised, they had already given in, so could Murong Zhan still hesitate? One must know that no matter from which aspect, Qi State is stronger than Jin State now, and their princesses of Qi State are only wronged as princesses, what else is Mo Rongzhan not satisfied with
"Your majesty, don't you want to marry Qi?" Song Hongao asked.
Of course he doesn't want to! He doesn't want to put any princess of Qi State in the harem. The princess of Qi State is different from other concubines, her status is higher than Yaoyao, he can't be treated like other concubines, so he doesn't want a princess to become a noble concubine.
If you have to marry Qi...
Murong Zhan said helplessly, "The alliance between Qi and Jin can only be marriage?"
Although Song Hongao felt that marriage could not guarantee anything, it was something Zhao Yong insisted on, and he had no objection at all, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"The marriage between the two countries is no small matter. I need to think about it before I can give Qi a satisfactory answer." Mo Rongzhan said.
"Then the emperor has thought it over clearly, and then go to our country of Qi to propose marriage." Song Hongao said in a low voice, and their princesses of the country of Qi do not have to marry and become noble concubines.
Mo Rongzhan nodded with a smile, "Sir Song, I will."
"Then I will take my leave first." Song Hongao bowed his hands and went back to answer Zhao Yong holding back his stomachache.
Zhao Yong couldn't help laughing angrily after hearing what Song Hongao said, "Morongzhan really takes himself seriously, the more he doesn't want to marry the princess of Qi, the more I will force him to do so."
"..." Song Hongao felt that this vindictiveness was a bit strange, "Why did the emperor insist on marrying the princess to the Kingdom of Jin?"
"In this way, Mo Rongzhan and Lu Yaoyao will be separated." Zhao Yong said lightly, "Xu Jiang just sent the news that Ye Yiqing resigned from Dongqing Kingdom and is already on his way back to Jin Kingdom."
Song Hongao was surprised, "Li Heng actually asked Ye Yiqing to resign?"
You must know that Dongqing Kingdom is completely supported by Ye Yiqing. Without him, where would Li Heng be today
"Not long after Ye Yiqing left, Li Yu, the eldest princess of Dongqing Kingdom, died violently at home. Do you think these two incidents are related?" Zhao Yong asked.
It is not a secret at all that Li Yu, the eldest princess of the Dongqing Kingdom, raised noodles. Maybe the two things are really related. "I am afraid that Li Yu was killed by Ye Yiqing."
Zhao Yong nodded. Although he has never met Ye Yiqing, he is very afraid of this person, "Ye Yiqing, who can stabilize the entire Dongqing Kingdom, returns to Jin Kingdom. The family is a famous family, what do you think will happen?"
Song Hongao thought about it carefully, and took a deep breath, "Morongzhan is like a tiger with wings!"
"I heard that Ye Yiqing loves his daughter as much as his life, and would never allow his daughter to be wronged. If he knew that Lu Yaoyao was left out in the Chengde Villa in the capital, and Murong Zhan doted on others, you said he would be willing to come back to serve Is it?" Zhao Yong asked with a smile.
"However, Mo Rongzhan doesn't seem to have really neglected Lu Yaoyao." Song Hongao whispered.
Zhao Yong sneered, "Ye Yiqing doesn't know it's fake, I let Xu Jiang take a walk outside the capital and Lu Yaoyao fell out of favor, people will always preconceive it, and see if Ye Yiqing will be so easily used by Mo Rongzhan when he comes back .”
Song Hongao was amazed in his heart, he had just entered the palace, he did not expect that the emperor had planned and arranged so many things outside, he really is... a veritable thousand-year-old fox, who is so scheming to provoke the relationship between Mo Rongzhan and Ye Yiqing's son-in-law, and even more wants to let Mo Rongzhan and Lu Yaoyao are separated...
He couldn't help but light the wax for Mo Rongzhan in his heart.
That's right, Jin Guo, the young emperor, is very powerful, but unfortunately, his opponent is the even more powerful Zhao Yong.
At this time, Mo Rongzhan in the palace did not know that Zhao Yong had tried his best to weaken his power. After Song Hongao left, he summoned the cabinet ministers into the palace. Become an opponent, he has to find a way to deal with it.
In addition to the cabinet ministers, Tang Zhen is also in the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to agree to Qi State's request. Our Jin State is already struggling to deal with Beiming State. If Qi State is added, it will make things worse. I'm afraid... I'm afraid it will be a catastrophe for the country." When Ruan Jinghua heard the emperor said that he did not intend to marry, he immediately knelt down and begged the emperor for permission.
Lu Shiming frowned and stood aside. He really wanted to dismiss Ruan Jinghua's words, but he found that if he did not agree, Jin Kingdom would face unprecedented difficulties.
Huang Chan said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the position of imperial concubine is not important. The benefits of marriage between the two countries are better than being enemies. We still need to defeat Beiming Kingdom together with Qi."
Murong Zhan glanced at everyone, "Do you all think that I must marry Qi State and make the princess of Qi State a noble concubine?"
"Your Majesty, in extraordinary times, we can only use extraordinary methods. At most...if the noble concubine is not allowed to conceive in the future, then what Qi State is planning will be useless." Xu Lao said in a deep voice.
Tang Zhen was anxious. If Princess Qi enters the palace, she will definitely overwhelm the queen. It will be the same whether she is pregnant or not. "Your Majesty, I think you need to think twice about this matter."
"Your Majesty! Is the relationship between children more important than Jin Guo?" Ruan Jinghua asked loudly.
Murong Zhan frowned and sighed, "You all step back first, I'll think about it."
"Your Majesty..." Huang Chan hesitated to speak, seeing Mo Rongzhan's cold and heavy expression, he could only shake his head, "Your Majesty will leave."
