Chapter 474 The Emperor's Operation

The next day, General Zhao Lu was ordered to enter the palace again and met His Majesty the Emperor in Ganlu Hall.

Today's general, compared to yesterday, had a slightly haggard face, as if he hadn't slept well all night. After seeing the emperor, he knelt down cleanly, with a respectful expression, and bowed his head: "Your majesty sees you .”

At this time, His Majesty's face was also slightly dark circled. He sat on the pedestal, looked at the kneeling general below, and raised his hand: "You are welcome, general, just get up and answer."

Only then did Lord Anping get up from the ground, and stood aside with his hands down.

The emperor forced a smile on his face, and asked: "The general went back yesterday and thought about it all night, have you thought about it?"

Zhao Lu took a deep breath, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I went back yesterday and discussed with my mother and wife. Since the marriage was bestowed by the heavenly family, I naturally have no reason to refuse it. As long as the queen mother nods in agreement, I will not marry you." Nothing to say..."

"The Empress Dowager agrees."

The emperor showed a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "In this case, this marriage is settled. Today is the old lady's birthday, and the birthday is the most important thing for the time being. After today's incident, I will arrange for Li Yu to have a wedding with the general's family." Meet my daughter."

Speaking of this, the emperor looked at Zhao Lu and asked, "Which daughter in the family does the general plan to marry to my brother?"

Zhao Lu bowed his head respectfully: "Return to Your Majesty, the youngest daughter of this minister has just turned 13 years old this year, you can meet with the Second Highness, if the Second Highness thinks it is inappropriate..."

"The minister's family has other daughters..."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Well, I will go find my second brother later and tell him about it."

"I heard that the young girl of the general's family is slim, and my second brother will definitely like it."

In a political marriage, personal preferences are actually not that important. To put it bluntly, it is not important at all.

Take the "marriage" of the two families this time as an example, as long as the emperor and Zhao Lu nod their heads, there is no room for them to refuse as a couple of boys and girls.

To put it harshly, even seeing the other party to the point of vomiting, this marriage must also be concluded.

And under this premise, as the man's prince Li Yu, he actually took advantage.

Because after he gets married, he will go out of the palace to open the mansion and become the king.

At that time, if he really doesn't like this daughter of the Zhao family, he can play his own way after getting married, and it won't have much impact on his life.

Of course, his family of wives can be said to be one of the most powerful family of wives in the court. Even after the prince is married, it is impossible for His Royal Highness to go too far and need to save a little face for the other party.

The two people said this, but the matter has actually been negotiated. His Majesty the Emperor stood up, glanced at Zhao Lu, and then smiled: "Today is the [-]th birthday of the old lady, and there must be a lot of things to be busy in the Anping Marquis Mansion." , I won’t keep the general anymore, the general should go back and do his work.”

Zhao Lu bowed his head respectfully and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty, I'm leaving..."

After all, the Marquis of Anping left the Ganlu Hall respectfully.

After Zhao Lu turned around, the emperor silently looked at his leaving back and murmured.

"Accepted..."

After muttering this sentence in a low voice, the emperor glanced at the eunuch Gao Minggao standing beside him, and said calmly: "Gao Ming, go and call the second child, I have something to say to him."

Eunuch Gao quickly bowed his head and said yes.

Because the Second Highness Li Yu lived in the imperial city, in less than half an hour, this handsome young man in purple was brought into the Ganlu Hall by Gao Ming. After entering the Ganlu Hall, the Second Highness gave the emperor a Courtesy, and then stood up, with a smile on his face: "Brother Huang, what do you want from me?"

"Um…"

The emperor was sitting in his seat at the moment. He glanced at the brother who was already taller than his shoulders, and a complicated look flashed across his eyes.

Soon, the emperor regained his composure, and a smile appeared on his face: "Let you go out of the palace to do something for me."

Li Yu was taken aback for a moment, and then his face showed joy: "If Brother Huang has any orders, I will do it right away."

He has not been out of the palace for a long time.

Firstly, it was because he was not yet old enough to leave the palace and start a mansion, and secondly, because the little emperor was still young a few years ago and his throne was unstable, so the Empress Dowager Sun was strict with the emperor's two brothers, and basically did not let them go. The two of them have been out of the palace.

Now that there is a sudden opportunity to go out of the palace, Li Yu is naturally very happy in his heart.

After the emperor paused, he continued to smile and said: "The old lady of Anping Hou's mansion is 60 years old today. The Anping Hou family has made a lot of contributions. Our family should send someone to take a look. Originally, my brother should go there in person, but you The emperor's sister-in-law is getting bigger, so I have to stay with you in the palace as a brother."

"Just go there on your brother's behalf and wish the old lady a birthday."

Hearing this, the young man in purple was stunned for a moment, and then he was at a loss: "Brother Emperor, I haven't prepared anything, so how can I celebrate someone's birthday..."

"You don't need to prepare anything..."

The emperor smiled and said: "You go on your own. I will let Gao Ming accompany you, and Gao Ming will make proper preparations for you."

Hearing this, Li Yu only showed a smile on his face. He bowed to the emperor in a dignified manner, and smiled: "Thank you, brother."

After saying this, he turned and left the Ganlu Hall.

Eunuch Gao bowed his head slightly to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the servants are going down with the Second Highness..."

"Um…"

The emperor nodded, and said calmly: "He is still young, and he hasn't been out of the palace much, so take care of him and don't make him look bad."

Gao Ming quickly lowered his head: "I understand."

The eunuch took several steps back, and was about to turn around and leave, when he heard the emperor's voice behind him: "Prepare the gift to be thicker, don't be stingy."

Gao Ming stopped in his tracks, and said yes again, this time he stood there for a long time, and only after he was sure that the emperor had no other orders, eunuch Gao turned around and left silently.

At this moment, all the emperor's thoughts were reflected in the heart of his great eunuch.

Gao Ming knew very well that the reason why the emperor wanted to give the Zhao family generous gifts and marriages was to a certain extent to numb the Zhao family, and the purpose was to convince the Zhao family that the emperor still favored their family.

As for whether the Zhao family will believe it...

That's not what he, a great eunuch, can manage.

Thinking of this, Gao Ming took a deep breath, and his steps became faster.

He wants to accompany His Highness the Second Highness to handle this errand well.

Not long after Gao Ming left, His Majesty the Emperor in the Ganlu Hall silently stepped down from the throne, and walked to the gate of the Ganlu Hall with his hands behind his back. He first glanced at the south, and then remembered the scholar who was from Jiangdu and was about his age. .

"After such a toss in Jiankang City, they should stop paying attention to you..."

The emperor thought so in his heart.

Because he knew very well that the anti-Japanese army in the south would launch a war of annihilation against the Japanese pirates before the end of the year.

At this time, he couldn't let the people in Jiankang City disturb Shen Yi's work.

After thinking about the anti-Japanese army for a while, His Majesty the Emperor looked in the direction of the Marquis of Anping again. He was silent for a while, and let out a long breath.

"In the future when you grow up..."

The emperor murmured: "Don't blame me..."
