The two brothers' refusal to marry should not be too clear-cut, but it reminded Su Tang of those young people in modern society who are forced to marry by their parents and relatives.
However, Su Tang was also a little curious, "You are at your age and strictly follow the laws of our country. Although it is a little early, it is not impossible to get engaged or something. Why are you still like this?"
In a feudal society and a royal family, it was normal to get married, but why did Murong Zhao and Pei Xuan actually refuse to get married
"Because I'm not willing to give in." Murong Zhao said sharply when Su Tang asked.
Pei Xuan himself is actually okay. Although his mother is a princess and his father is Pei Guogong, he is indeed of noble status, but he still has a little freedom. In addition, his parents are in free love, so he wants to spend time with someone he likes. For the rest of their lives, both the deceased princess and the current Duke Pei can actually respect her.
It is the emperor who is causing trouble at the moment. He wants to weaken the power of Duke Pei through marriage, stabilize his position, and prevent the prince from becoming too powerful.
Therefore, although Pei Xuan is also under pressure in this regard, as long as he can hold on, the old emperor's current body, in fact, except for the old emperor himself, everyone knows that he will not live long.
As long as Murong Zhao ascends the throne, Pei Xuan can be independent about his marriage, so he actually doesn't have much pressure in this regard.
But Murong Zhao was different. He was the prince and the future emperor. The emperor had no family affairs, and his wife was the future queen. There were too many things involved.
The current queen still wants her natal family to continue to be queens and preserve the glory of the Xu family. Some officials also hope to send their daughters to the East Palace. If they give birth to a son in the future, they may have the opportunity to become queens in the future. emperor.
Being married to Pei Xuan is true, but being married to Murong Zhao will make your mother look good to the world. Therefore, Murong Zhao is getting older and fatter, and countless people are watching eagerly.
There are many people who want to please him and want him to die.
But Murong Zhao grew up in an environment where he was plotted by others. He was really tired of the intrigues. He didn't want his children to be like this in the future, and he was not willing to accept that he had sacrificed so much for the position of the prince and the emperor. So many, even marriage has become a bargaining chip.
So I still hold on to a glimmer of hope. Maybe the clouds above the court are treacherous, but at least I can still have a wife and family I can trust behind the scenes, instead of being scheming inside the house.
Murong Zhao did not deny Pei Xuan's words. Su Tang also understood what Murong Zhao was unwilling to accept. After all, he was a young man with a bottom line and his own kindness. Therefore, he could overcome obstacles and face all waves, but he still hoped to keep his heart. Soft side.
Although these two brothers have extraordinary status, they are indeed very good people.
But it's a pity that Su Tang knew that Murong Zhao's persistence would change people's hearts. What he wanted was hard to find for ordinary people, let alone someone with his status. Even if he could find it for a while, how could he guarantee that people would not change in the future.
This topic was a bit heavy, so Su Tang did not continue, but said, "Senior brother, please send someone out to find out. It's almost time for me to go to Beijing in the next few days."
Murong Zhao obviously also knew that this topic could not be continued, so he also nodded, "I have asked people to pay more attention outside. If I encounter Luo Xingchen and Su Yongnuo, I will come over and give you news as soon as possible."
