"Hehe, it turned out that the prime minister was so worried about this matter that he couldn't sleep peacefully at night. Hehe, come to the palace to find me, an old man, to decide the marriage of your Jiaoxue!" Liu Heng stroked his beard and nodded.
"I also ask the emperor to make decisions for the little girl." Sheng Biji bowed again.
"There are quite a few of my princes who are of the right age. Although the prince has married the princess, if he is a wife..." Liu Heng was thoughtful.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion. It's just that my daughter is stubborn and vulgar. I'm afraid it's inconvenient to marry into the royal family, so as not to damage the majesty of the heavenly family. I also ask the emperor to point out the family to the old officials in the court, so that I can accept my daughter's heart early." Sheng Biji kowtowed again. .
Liu Heng's expression relaxed slightly.
In fact, when Sheng Biji came to propose marriage late at night, he had a lot of doubts in his heart, thinking that this important court official had a crush on one of his princes, and he was too embarrassed to speak up, so he came to propose marriage to himself.
However, thinking that Sheng Biji is now the prime minister of the court and has great power in his hands, if he points out any of his sons to him, I am afraid that the power among them will be out of balance.
So, I took out the prince as a shield, and wanted to try Sheng Biji's ambition, but Sheng Biji refused, and directly said that he wanted a son of a courtier!
Liu Heng's heart eased a lot for a while.
I really worry too much, Sheng Biji has been with me through life and death, and has been loyal all these years.
The eldest son Sheng Yaoshan, at a young age, has long been the military leader of the high school Dazhou, and also a young general!
Military exploits and combat exploits are all in one.
Such a courtier, coming to ask for marriage with a well-matched courtier, isn't he a good thing for adult beauty? !
"Okay! Since Aiqing intends to find a courtier's son and daughter in-laws, then I will make the decision for you. How about Ji Yinkai's family, Minister of the Ministry of War? His eldest son Ji Yunjian is a general second only to Yaoshan. Although he is He works under Ding Guogong, but this kid has a bright future!" After thinking about it, Liu Heng finally decided to propose Ji Yunjian.
Although Dingguo Gong Ren Hongting is also a good brother who went through life and death with him. But sitting on the throne of Da Zhou, he had to think about Da Zhou's safety.
Ren Hongting is already the head of the military cabinet. His two sons also hold military power. If you don't find someone to check the balance, I'm afraid that if it becomes a climate at that time, no one in Da Zhou will be able to compete with it.
That's why he secretly recommended Ji Yinkai's son Ji Yunjian, thinking of using the young future to contain the Ren family's power.
Now, since Sheng Biji came to ask for a marriage, naturally this power cannot fall into the hands of others, and on the surface it is smoothly given to Sheng Biji to be his son and daughter. It was a beautiful thing that took a good time, but in fact, the power of Da Zhou was divided equally between the Sheng family and the Ren family.
These two right-hand men have accompanied me through the ups and downs, and using one to contain the other can keep Da Zhou safe and safe!
"Ji Yunjian?!" Sheng Biji's expression lifted when he heard that.
"Why, Ai Qing is not satisfied?" Liu Heng stroked his beard and asked with a smile.
"No no no, Your Majesty, that child Yun Jian really fits the old minister's wishes! That child was born handsome and handsome. Although he is a young man, he has made great military exploits. Speaking of which, he and Quan Zi are still close friends!" Sheng Biji said Ji Yunjian's face was red!
actually. Today, when talking about ministers in the court, Ji Yunjian's handsome face once appeared in his mind, but due to Liu Zhang's power and status, he was afraid that the Ji family would shirk. Now, with the marriage bestowed by the emperor himself, even if Liu Zhang wanted to grab it, he couldn't compete with the emperor!
Besides, during Liu Heng's hesitation just now, Sheng Biji had already understood the holy will. With his special status, if he really married the royal family. Maybe it will provoke holy wrath!
Add up a few times and weigh the pros and cons. Being in-laws with the Ji family is a complete solution and a good idea to get the best of both worlds!
"Oh? That's great! It's getting late today, and I think I won't be able to see that child Zhao Yunjian. I'll just write a handwritten letter and put it next to Aiqing for peace of mind! Tomorrow morning, I will personally announce this big happy event What do Ai Qing think?" After Liu Heng finished speaking, he wrote a majestic handwritten letter, stamped it with a vermilion seal, and gave it to Sheng Biji.
"Thank you, Majesty Long En!" Sheng Biji leaned over to thank him.
"Hehe, Aiqing is serious. It's my honor to be able to grow up with the beauty of a man! The date of the big wedding will be announced tomorrow morning. Aiqing and Ji Aiqing will discuss together. On the day of the big wedding, I will take my fate." Someone sent a congratulatory gift!" Liu Heng's eyes were bright, watching Sheng Biji slowly exit with three kowtows.
The Thousand Carp Pond in the palace was already covered with a fine layer of white snow, and the cold moonlight shone through the thin clouds, slightly projecting on the still lake.
Silver sparkle, better than sparkling.
"Your Majesty, it's cold at night, let's go back." Sheyue persuaded Empress Li with a dim yellow lantern.
"The night after the snow is very clean. It's rare that no one disturbs you tonight, so it's rare for me to have this night of leisure." Concubine Li was wearing a rose-red cloak, which was embroidered with vivid wintersweet.
Even in this cold night, the wintersweet on the satin surface is shining with charming brilliance.
A hurried footsteps, accompanied by a familiar figure, passed by the Thousand Carp Pond in a daze.
"Your Majesty, look." Musk Moon gestured for the lantern to light up.
Sheng Biji's demeanor is still the same as before, clearly reflected in the eyes of Empress Li.
"I've met Prime Minister Sheng." Concubine Li bowed lightly.
"Oh... see Empress Li." Sheng Biji looked surprised, but he was a little dazed in a trance, and then he quickly calmed down and returned the gift in a hurry.
Silence, a moment of silence.
"I don't know what the prime minister is saying about entering the palace at such a late hour?" Li Fei asked.
"Oh, I'm not afraid of my mother's jokes when I say it. It's not Jiaoxue, that dead girl who insists on marrying King Huaide! You say that King Huaide is superior, and she is not a girl like her who can marry! The old minister is afraid of making mistakes. So I hurried into the palace and begged the emperor for the son of Master Ji from the Ministry of War, Ji Yunjian." Sheng Biji answered with his hands clasped.
"What?! Jiaoxue and Zhang'er!" Empress Li's body was slightly unsteady, her feet slipped and she almost fell.
"Hey, be careful!" Before Sheyue could react, Sheng Biji had already stretched out his arms, and gently supported Empress Li who was about to fall.
Silence, another moment of silence.
An indescribable embarrassment circulated between the two of them.
"Your Majesty, your hand furnace is cold, and this servant will bring you some after returning to the palace." Seeing this, Sheyue tactfully avoided it.
"It's the season of plum blossoms again..." Sheng Biji sighed for a long time.
"It's cold in winter, keep warm." Empress Li Fei responded immediately.
"Well, take care of yourself! You don't have to worry about Zhang'er's affairs, I've already settled down." Sheng Biji replied softly.
"Well, I believe you." Concubine Li replied.
"It won't be long... Wait for my good news." After a long time, Sheng Biji said again.
"Well, I believe you." Concubine Li stood where she was, with tears in her eyes.
