Daughter of General

Chapter 185
Qi Yuzhou shook his head slightly, but smiled lightly on his face: "If it is the meaning of a saint, how can I refuse it?"

Shen Yulan sighed in her heart when she heard the slight sarcasm in his words - she really sympathized with this.There's no way, she's also having trouble with her marriage now.At any rate, she didn't feel the fire right now, whether it was because there was no suitable candidate, or because she refused to force her for Shen Junzhi's sake.After all, it has not really reached the point of no return.

But Qi Yuzhou's situation is very different.Firstly, Qi Yuzhou is a man, and the Qi family is like that—to be honest, if Qi Yuzhou can really marry the princess, then the Qi family will definitely approve with both hands.When the time comes, Qi Yuzhou will have to agree no matter how much he disagrees.Unless, he can go all out and break away from the Qi family.But in that case, he would have no future.No matter who it is, after being removed from the family tree, although the person is free.But whatever he does in the future, he will be cast aside and despised by others.Because at this time, if it wasn't for some kind of treacherous and evil person, it is absolutely impossible to be expelled from the clan.

At that time, if you offend the saint again... it will be a dead end.

"Is there really no other way?" Shen Yulan frowned, thought for a while and hesitated, and said, "Perhaps Madam Guangwuhou should settle the marriage for you first."

In Shen Yulan's mind, this method should indeed be a good one.At least, although it will make the saint a little unhappy secretly, at least it will not affect the overall situation.Taking a step back, the old sage is now old, who can say clearly when he will ride a crane to the west?As long as the next saint has no problem with him.

But Qi Yuzhou shook his head: "You forgot, what kind of embarrassing position is my mother in the Qi family? There is an old witch on her head, and it will never happen. The Qi family doesn't know that the sage has this intention. Otherwise, I'm afraid... I've already asked for a marriage proposal."

Shen Yulan's face immediately collapsed - Qi Yuzhou was right.Thinking of Mrs. Guangwuhou's position in the Qi family, she felt aggrieved and panicked.

"Is there any favorite concubine who can blow on the pillow to make the saint change his mind?" Shen Yulan thought for a while, then asked again.If you can't do it directly, you can only go another way. "Even if it is a lady in the palace, she will never dislike having too much money."

"The saint is not what he was when he was young." Qi Yuzhou shook his head: "In the past few months, the number of times he went to the harem is very small. It's just that the concubines who gave birth to the prince are a bit decent."

The implication is, that is to say, there will be no chance of blowing pillow wind with the saint at all.

"What about the Ninth Prince's competitors?" Shen Yulan thought for a while, "No one wants to keep watching the Ninth Prince succeed. You are young and promising now, and you are in charge of the military, so you should be the one to win over. "

"Princesses of saints are not to be favored. Only the eldest princess is born of the empress, which is different. It is almost as expensive as a prince. But when the eldest princess got married, she only Give birth to a delicate son and die." Qi Yuzhou shook his head: "Other princes can also win over these unfavorable princesses."

Therefore, the other princes will only try to marry the princess they have attracted to Qi Yuzhou instead of helping Qi Yuzhou get out of this predicament.

Shen Yulan couldn't help being speechless, and sighed sincerely in her heart: "Fortunately, my father is a bit older, otherwise I'm afraid it will be even worse."

Qi Yuzhou smiled and did not refute.But another suspense was raised: "Actually, it's not that there is no way—"

"What way?" Shen Yulan blinked and asked quickly.Although it wasn't that he didn't see the sly light in Qi Yuzhou's eyes, he didn't take it too seriously, thinking that he was just trying to trick him.

"It's very simple. The saint wants to do your marriage wholeheartedly. He also misses mine. If there is really no other way, why don't we just get married? It's the best of both worlds." Qi Yuzhou laughed at Cen Cen's words, It was quite serious.

Shen Yulan was dumbfounded, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He raised his hand and gave Qi Yuzhou a smack on the forehead: "You dare to make fun of me. It's the best of both worlds!"

In her heart, she only thought that Qi Yuzhou was deliberately making a joke to amuse him because he saw that the atmosphere had been too dignified.I really didn't take it seriously - even if this idea did pop up by chance, it dissipated quickly.She and Qi Yuzhou don't look like a couple in her place.

Qi Yuzhou didn't flicker, but smiled even more after being hit: "But it's not a joke. Think about it, what is my status now? The saint knows in his heart that I and the Qi family are not at odds, and will not support the fourth prince in the same way as the Qi family That's why I was promoted in this way. Of course, I have always acted as if I was only loyal to the saint and refused to accept other princes. And I was always against the Qi family. At this time, the saint hopes that I can maintain this position That's why he thought of asking me to marry the princess. I'm afraid that the Qi family made an engagement for me, and then coaxed me back."

He paused here, and glanced at Shen Yulan.At this time, Shen Yulan had forgotten to care about his abruptness, and was completely fascinated by his analysis, with a serious expression on his face and listening.Seeing this, Qi Yuzhou continued to talk, but even his eyes were filled with smiles: "You three girls. Your cousin doesn't count, but there are countless sympathies for your sister. You are already going to marry the Ninth Prince. The Gu family and the Saint are on the same page. If the Saint is willing to support the Ninth Prince, they will naturally support him. If you marry another force, the Shen family must be in a dilemma if there is any power struggle in the future Yes. No one knows what changes will happen at that time. But what if you marry me? The saint thinks that I am loyal to him. If we get married, your father will join hands with me in the future. I will not be If someone else wins over, I can be of one mind with the Shen family—when the time comes, I won't refuse to support whoever the Shen family supports."

"This is just my analysis—" Shen Yulan shook her head: "The superior is suspicious, how can we all guess it?"

Qi Yuzhou neither refuted nor agreed: "Unless you are married into the Gu family, I am afraid that the sage will not marry you to other families. In this case, either simply put you on hold, or find a neutral family to marry you." Married in the past - it can be regarded as indirectly laying the groundwork for the Ninth Prince."

But now it is obvious that there are only a few people worth wooing—and they are all military officers.Seriously, at this time, military power is crucial.Among the literati, apart from those who hold real power, how many of them can play a big role?But on the literati side, no matter how powerful they are, they are still not as good as military officers.What's more, the sage runs the New Year's Eve, and the civil servants have already counted them.

"The sage loves the Ninth Prince so much?" Shen Yulan was a little puzzled: "According to what you said, wouldn't the Ninth Prince be able to ascend the throne in the future?"

Qi Yuzhou nodded and shook his head: "There are not many sons of saints, but they are not too few. Excluding those who died young, and those who are not serious at all. There are also four princes, five princes, seven princes, eight princes, and nine princes. Among them, the nine princes He is the youngest and can't compare to other princes who have been in business for many years. Even if the birth mother of the nine princes is Zhang Luo, they are still close. If it is not for the favor of the saints, I am afraid that the nine princes really can't beat the other few. However, among the six, the fourth prince should He is the most powerful, but the most taboo. The fifth prince is introverted, unfavored but not hated, and has never been ambitious, so the saint is very relieved of the fifth prince, who holds the real power. Seven or eight The situation of the two princes is about the same, so they should be the weakest among them. But the two princes, seven or eight, are very united and intend to deal with the others..."

"That said, it's really hard to say." Shen Yulan was speechless, only feeling that the relationship was too complicated.

"Otherwise, the sage would not have been unwilling to establish a crown prince." Qi Yuzhou continued to analyze: "The birth mothers of the fourth prince and the ninth prince are about the same. The saint means that he intends to promote the birth mother of the ninth prince to suppress the fourth prince. And a few of them, The biological mother of the Fifth Prince is the most cowardly and incompetent. The reason why she can not be bullied is because of the honor of the Fifth Prince. By the way, the Fifth Prince himself is also very good at leading troops—the wife of the Fifth Prince is just an ordinary Qinggui is not prominent. And the fifth prince has not shown any desire for power over the years, instead he has been begging the saint to make him a king so that he can go to the land. Otherwise, he will take the initiative to ask to lead troops to fight..."

Shen Yulan heard Qi Yuzhou keep talking about the fifth prince, her heart moved slightly, and said hesitantly, "Do you think the person who will benefit in the end should be the fifth prince?" If not, Qi Yuzhou probably wouldn't have said so much.

Qi Yuzhou nodded slightly, and added: "Fifth prince, in fact, in the hearts of the ministers, the image is very good. He will not fight or grab, and will not be an enemy."

"At this time, in fact, no dispute is the biggest dispute." Shen Yulan murmured, only thinking that the fifth prince is really powerful—as Qi Yuzhou said, under such various unfavorable factors, how many people can fight against each other? Standing shoulder to shoulder with the eldest prince is really not something that ordinary people can do.But... "What you can think of, the sage can naturally think of it."

"That's why the saint has been reluctant to release the fifth prince to the fief, but has been staying in Beijing. This is the fear of the saint. I am afraid that after the fifth prince has his own fief, his strength will increase greatly." Qi Yuzhou smiled, and suddenly returned to the old story I mentioned it again; "But these are things to talk about. Now our dilemma is marriage. I'm really not joking. You said, if we two get married, is it a win-win thing?"

Shen Yulan thought that this matter had already been diverged, so she would not bring it up again.Who knows, at this time Qi Yuzhou actually asked seriously, and at the moment he didn't know what to say——
