Xia Yuanqiu looked at Zhu Yan who looked worried, and suddenly smiled and said: "I guess it won't be long before Beiming Kingdom's credentials are handed over to Xiliang!"
Zhu Sheng was confused: "What does this mean?"
Xia Yuanqiu said: "Then Princess Mochou is obsessed with Zhu Yan, and if she can't do it with force, she should take a bypass. The most direct and effective way is to get married! I believe you are not clear about this kind of marriage, right?"
They were born into the royal family, so they are naturally very aware of the peacemaking methods used by the royal family.
It is said that it is not easy to be the daughter of an emperor. She may live a noble life with fine clothes and fine food, but she may be packed up and sent to a neighboring country for marriage. To put it nicely, it is a marriage, but to put it worse, it is called a hostage exchange. The other party sent one, and I also sent one to maintain the superficial friendship and harmony between the two countries. If there is true friendship and harmony, that's all. At least I can still survive, and at least I can enjoy some glory and wealth as a princess of a country, but If the two countries start to have bad relations and even send troops to each other, then this so-called princess will have only two options, either to live in the cold palace and die alone, or to become a sacrifice in the war between the two countries.
But Mochou is different. She is not an ordinary princess. She is the most beloved daughter of the Lord of Beiming Kingdom and the commander-in-chief of the three armies of Beiming Kingdom. Naturally, she will not become a hostage unless she requests it herself.
Zhu Sheng has married the queen. Although she is the daughter of a traitor, she has not been deposed after all, and the queen is still in the palace. If she came to Xiliang as a marriage partner, she would naturally not be a concubine, either the queen or the queen. princess.
Deposing a queen is a big deal in the world, but deposing a princess is a trivial matter!
Zhu Yan has obviously thought about this. With his temperament, he rejects this kind of marriage behavior from the bottom of his heart, using a woman's lifelong happiness in exchange for a temporary illusion of peace. He has never approved of this kind of thing.
Zhu Sheng's brows were furrowed. As an emperor, his thoughts were naturally different from those of ordinary people. What he was thinking about was the impact of rejecting the marriage.
If Beiming makes a big fuss about this and spreads unfavorable news among the people of Xiliang, saying that the king of Xiliang ignores the life and death of the people, refuses to negotiate for peace, and advocates war to cause chaos to the country, then not only will he have just secured the throne, Even the entire royal family surnamed Zhu, and even the entire Xiliang, may be affected by the disaster.
Xia Yuanqiu asked Zhu Sheng: "Among the princes, are there any who are not married?"
Zhu Sheng shook his head: "Except for the ninth brother, all the brothers are already married. The ninth brother has just reached the weak crown and is five or six years younger than Princess Mochou. It is naturally inappropriate."
Xia Yuanqiu shook his head and sighed: "This is a redundant question for me. If Princess Mochou insists on coming to Xiliang, her goal is very clear. How can she marry someone else?"
Xing Ying, who was standing aside, couldn't help but said: "If she enters our court as a bride, why should she choose her husband? The emperor should make the final decision. What qualifications does she have to choose? If it doesn't work, the worst is to find another one. After a battle, we are proud of Xiliang, why are we still afraid of them Beiming?"
Zhu Yan shook his head: "No, when the war breaks out, the people are displaced. This is why I only took a few dozen of you to attack Beiming. I just don't want to start a war, lest the people of the two countries suffer innocently!" He has guarded the border for many years, We know very well that when war breaks out, the most casualties are not the soldiers of the two countries, but the innocent people involved.
