Chapter 234 Li Lingmin's predicament
Imperial Palace, early morning.
The civil and military officials are all here, and several sick old ministers have come to participate in the early morning with illness. Because today's early morning is particularly important, there are two things to announce. The queen's face is really happy with a proud smile on her face, saying: "Today, I have two things to say to you. The first thing is that the ninth princess has With a favorite person, he is about to be recruited as a son-in-law.
Minister A: "Congratulations, Queen, Queen Hexi, this is a great happy event of this dynasty, a happy event for the whole country."
Minister B: "I don't know whether the son-in-law selected by the nine princes is the literary champion or the martial arts champion? This year's exam is really a miracle. Unexpectedly, the champion and the champion are both men. I don't know which one the princess chose.
"I don't think the princess's favorite is necessarily the two champions." Another minister said, "Maybe it's the son of which family."
The second princess said, "Let's not guess. Why don't we ask Jiumei directly, Jiumei, who is your future son-in-law?"
Li Lingmin said, "He is the cold man I introduced to the saint a few days ago."
Hearing the name, many people's faces changed. A minister who was not shallow asked, "Was it the Han Ruoli who brought the princess into Beihu?"
"Exact!" Li Lingmin said, "I have a good relationship with Mr. Han. Please don't doubt Mr. Han's character."
The second princess sighed.
The queen asked, "Why did Yumin sigh?" Is there anything wrong?"
The second princess said, "Mother, there are indeed many wrongs. Don't let go and announce the second thing first."
"Yes!" Thunder said, "There is one more thing that the emperor hasn't said, and we are all itching in our hearts."
The queen said, "Okay! Then I will make the Qing family happy again. The second thing is that Beihu proposed to make peace. From then on, the border has been peaceful and peaceful.
"Kear?" Minister A asked, "Your Holiness, is this marriage of the father-in-law of Beihu who married into our heavenly dynasty? Or did our princess win the prince of Beihu as his son-in-law?
The queen said, "Neither, it's the Khan of Beihu who wants to win my princess of the Celestial Empire, but unfortunately I have no daughter to marry them. I don't know if the Qing family has a beloved daughter? Marrying into Beihu as a princess?"
The ministers are honest, and no one wants to let their daughter go to Beihu to suffer. The ice and snow in that place are extremely cold, far less warm than the climate here in the Central Plains.
The second princess said, "Mother, this matter is of great importance. I think we should consider it carefully. Even if a minister's daughter is similar in age and married to Beihu, it will inevitably be known by the people of Beihu in the future. This is equivalent to cheating the Khan of Beihu. It is not only unfavorable to the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, but may also turn against each other, and the border will be renewed. It sparks war."
"Yes!" The eldest princess said, "I know Khan's temper best. I have been fighting with him all year round. I know that Khan is an angry person. If he knows that we have deceived him, he will kill the princess he married and lead new troops to invade my Celestial Empire."
"What the princess said is very much." An old minister arched his hand and said, "Your superior, the old minister believes that this matter is not a joke. Beihu has repeatedly violated my frontier for decades, and the people at the border gate live in deep trouble. Although there are wall guards, Beihu has repeatedly crossed the fortress and has a strong financial situation. For this reason, I have invested a lot of military service and corvée. If Beihu and me How many corvée and military service can the people of the Celestial Empire meet? How many deaths and injuries can be reduced? So please think twice and don't joke about this matter.
"Please think twice--" Many ministers said with one voice.
Li Lingmin's face turned ugly. This was obviously premeditated. If it hadn't been discussed in advance, how could these people say so neatly? The first thing Beihu knew about his marriage must be the second princess, because the second princess was responsible for this kind of diplomatic matter. Li Lingmin turned her head and looked at the second princess.
The second princess is looking at Li Lingmin with proud eyes. This kind of intrigue is too common in the royal family. How important it is for them to have one heir to the throne.
The queen looked embarrassed and asked, "What is the meaning of the Qing family?"
"Revelation to the Holy King." Thunder said, "The villain is not talented. There is a feasible plan."
The queen said, "Say!"
Thunder lowered his head and arched his hand and said, "The ninth princess is 21 years old. It was the time of marriage. For the friendship between the two countries, I beg your majesty to marry the ninth princess to the Khan. In this way, it can show the sincerity of my heavenly dynasty. Second, it can be exchanged for the peace of the border. After the ninth princess married into Beihu, the Khan of Beihu will definitely meet. I'm very happy to offer the princess as a guest. Why not?
The queen was about to object, and another minister said, "Bachelor Lei is right, and the old minister also means this. My princesses of the Celestial Empire, each have a deep understanding of righteousness. The fifth princess and the sixth princesses married his country a few years ago in exchange for peace for the Celestial Empire. Not long ago, the eighth princess married into the Western Regions, although these three princesses are not in the court. Central Plains, but I still dare not forget the love of the people of the Celestial Empire for the three princesses. The ninth princess married to Beihu for the sake of the people of the Celestial Empire. The people will definitely be grateful and use the rule of the imperial court.
The second princess said, "What the two adults said is very true. Mother Emperor, while the matter of Jiumei's selection of the emperor-in-law has not been announced to the public, we will hide this matter as soon as possible. Let Jiumei go about the matter of Beihu's peace and marriage."
Li Lingmin was anxious and said, "I don't want to join Beihu. I won't marry any Khan. I have my own favorite person, and I will recruit him as my son-in-law."
"Nonsense!" The second princess said, "You are a princess. Is this what the princess should say?" You are from the Li family. If you are from the Li family, you should care about the people of the Celestial Empire and benefit the people of the Celestial Empire. How can you embarrascate the whole Celestial Empire for the sake of your children's affairs?
The eldest princess said, "Jiujie, the eldest sister knows that this matter is very difficult for you, but think about it, if we refuse Khan's peace, Khan will definitely think that the Celestial Empire will look down on him, and may lead troops to attack the fortress. At that time, the people at the border gate will suffer again, and many people will have their families to be destroyed. Child displacement, are these what you would like to see?
Li Lingmin asked, "You are right, very good! Have you considered my feelings? Have you ever thought about what to do with my Han Ruoli?
The second princess said, "Don't forget about others, Han Ruoli? Don't you know that he is just a little cowboy? As a princess, how can you find a calf to be your son-in-law? Where is the majesty of our royal family? What is the face of our royal family? You are not a child. You have to consider these. The people of our Li family do not live for themselves. We live for the people of the Celestial Empire. When the Eight Sister got married, she was also unwilling to leave the Celestial Empire, but in the end, she married into the Western Regions, because the Eight Sister has a deep sense of righteousness and knows that there is no harm to do with relatives. Why do you Can't you learn from your eighth sister?"
Li Lingmin's tears fell down, "Well said! You are right! I'm not as good as the eighth sister. The eighth sister is good at everything. I'm not good at anything, okay! Are you satisfied?"
A minister said, "Don't be sad. Even if you marry Beihu, you can also take some followers with you. At that time, let Han Ruoli follow you to Beihu, isn't it okay?"
A sinister smile flashed on the second princess's face. If Han Ruoli is really brought into Beihu, then Li Lingmin will not be far from death. Han Ruoli will definitely die. The wife who married the door will directly bring a white face. If the groom knows, what is his mood? What's more, the groom is the Khan of Beihu?
The queen said, "Enough! I haven't made a final determination on this matter. Why did you talk about the dowry?
"Mother Emperor!" The second princess said, "Our nine sisters are only sensitive. Is there any other way?"
The Empress said, "The matter of Beihu's marriage will be discussed in the future."
The second princess said, "But the messenger of Beihu has been here for many days. If I don't give them a reply, I'm afraid..."
The reason why the queen wanted to announce this matter in the early morning today is that she thought that she was fully sure that no one would come out to object, but the situation was diametrically opposite. These people were like ambitious leopards. No matter what the queen said, they had to refute a few words.
The queen said, "Sinsensitive, would you like to join Beihu?"
Li Lingmin stood there with tears falling, "I...I...I don't want to go."
The second princess said, "If you don't go, which sister can marry into Beihu?" The second sister knows that you are thinking about the Celestial Empire. If the second sister hadn't had a son-in-law, the second sister could have replaced you. Unfortunately, the second sister is now more than enough.
Li Lingmin scolded in her heart: You sounded well. Even if you don't have a son-in-law, you can't go to Beihu.
But the second princess said this very sincerely, and others were moved by it. The queen sighed, "I wish I had a few daughters back then."
Li Lingmin said aggrievedly, "If the Khan of Beihu wants to make a marriage, must we agree? Why can't they let their Khan come and be my son-in-law? Their Khan married into the Celestial Empire as a son-in-law, and I also recognized it.
"Isn't this nonsense?" The second princess said, "What would it be like if the messenger of the Khan heard this? How many people are also a khan and the leader of Beihu, which is equivalent to asking a king of another country to be your son-in-law, is this possible?
Li Lingmin shouted, "What's impossible?"
All the people around him sighed helplessly and shook their heads. It has proved how unreasonable Li Lingmin is to say such words.
The eldest princess said, "Jihu, you are not a child. Our Li family should be thought of the people. On your birthday, you asked for the military power of the Iron Horse Regiment. Isn't it to protect the people of the heavenly dynasty? Now marrying into Beihu can also be exchanged for peace at the border, but in different ways. You'd better think more about it.
An old minister said, "Please think twice before you go." After saying that, another group of people said, "Please think twice before you go."
Li Lingmin is so smart that she can see that this old minister is a trust. This sentence is a secret code. Many ministers oppose it together, which makes the queen very embarrassed.
The second princess hit the iron while it was hot and said, "Mother, before the matter of the ninth sister's recruitment of the emperor's son-in-law has not been announced to the public, let's take back and become famous. For the peace of the two countries, we seem to have no choice."
The queen's eyes are reluctant, but she can't say anything. This is the helplessness of a wise king. If the queen is a faint king and a complete dictatorship, then no one will object so much.
Li Lingmin knows that today is her biggest end. Who can save her? The first person who thought of was Han Ruoli. Li Lingmin suddenly found that when he was in danger and difficult, the first thing he thought of was always Han Ruoli. It seemed that Han Ruoli was like a fairy and could always save her from water and fire. In any case, Li Lingmin decided to take Han Ruoli over. Only his mouth could talk to the Confucianism. Thinking of this, Li Lingmin said loudly, "Mother, Han Ruoli is in my sensitive house. I want to invite him to come."
The second princess said disdainfully, "He is not a court official. What does it have to do with him in the early morning?"
Li Lingmin said, "But he is my future son-in-law."
The queen waved her hand and said, "Go! Go ahead!"
