The favorite wife of the black-bellied prime minister

Chapter 364 The Unparalleled Tyrant (2)
"With her alone, is she worthy of the Great Emperor Xiqin? What is she worthy of?!" Baililuo muttered to himself, his chest heaving and heaving, and he was about to overturn the marble table.

"Luo'er, calm down." Concubine Li Gui suddenly pressed Baililuo's hand with one hand. After all, she had struggled in the palace for decades, and she encountered the temperament of Queen Situ and Emperor Jing Yuan again. It can be said that I have seen all the suffering and the world, and I never understood it until I gradually calmed down.She smiled and said: "Luo'er, don't be so nervous. It's not a good thing that the Emperor Xiqin came to propose marriage, especially at such a critical point, there can be many explanations for Xiqin's proposal. First, even if the Emperor Xiqin is sincere Yes, will that old shrew, Empress Situ, agree? The sick son-in-law has only been dead for five days, and the body has not yet been buried, yet the emperor of Xiqin calls on the newly widowed princess by name. Isn’t this a humiliation to Daxing? Xiqin is worried Daxing's widowed princess can't get married, is there such a sarcasm? Or is there another deeper meaning?"

"Secondly, I have heard that the Great Emperor Xiqin has a perverse temperament and is unpredictable. He killed his father and seized the throne at the age of 16. In the past ten years since he reigned, he has been out of court for half of the time. No one can guess his thoughts. If Xiqin Emperor Qin didn't mean it sincerely, but was just joking with Daxing. Then, there will definitely be a war between Xiqin and Daxing. No matter who wins, the widow princess who is the culprit will always end up with the title of beauty and disaster. , There is a hundred harms but no benefits, and her end will never be good. Luo'er, what else do you have to worry about? This matter will only be a joke, not a reality."

Listening to Concubine Li's analysis, Baililuo gradually calmed down, sat down again while thinking, and said in a deep voice: "After hearing what my mother and concubine said, Luo'er suddenly became enlightened. How to deal with the queen, just to reap the benefits of the fisherman?"

Li Guifei nodded and smiled: "Exactly."

"But..." Baili Luo frowned, obviously not at ease: "Since the concubine mother said that the emperor of the Western Qin Dynasty was unpredictable, maybe the situation is not as expected by the concubine mother. Before, I still have to prepare, and I must never suffer from future troubles!"

Saying this, she said goodbye to Concubine Li Gui, got up and hurried out of the palace.

"Luo'er..." Concubine Li Gui called her, but she couldn't make her stop, so she had to watch her leave.Concubine Li Gui felt that her daughter seemed to be very anxious. She couldn't fully understand the anxiety, but she vaguely felt that it should be so—the person she hated had stepped off the cliff, but the person's hand was clinging to the cliff, She would be rescued by someone at any time, all she had to do was to step forward and smash that person's hand, so that she would have nothing to cling to, and she would fall completely to pieces and never recover.

Inside the Zichen Hall, Emperor Jing Yuan held the letter written by Emperor Xiqin in his hand and was silent for a long time. His sharp eyes scanned those few lines repeatedly. In the letter, Emperor Xiqin said that he had a deep-rooted love for Princess Rongchang since the battle of Huangshuiguan. Later, when I heard that the princess had a son-in-law, I had no choice but to hide this admiration deep in my heart.However, the world is unpredictable, and I was shocked to hear that the son-in-law passed away a few days ago. Although he felt sorry for the deep relationship between the son-in-law and the princess, he couldn't hide his longing for Princess Rongchang in his heart, so he abruptly sent a letter across thousands of miles to marry Princess Rongchang...

No matter how true what he said before, Emperor Jing Yuan never let go of his guard, but the last few sentences made him unpredictable, because the Emperor Xiqin said that he knew that if he rashly mentioned the marriage when his son-in-law's bones were still cold, it would definitely make Dongxing monarch and ministers angry. , but he was worried that the princess would remarry someone else, and he was afraid of missing a good match again, so he asked Emperor Dongxing to write down his sincerity. .

Emperor Jing Yuan couldn't judge which of the words of Emperor Xiqin was true and which was false.He couldn't help but think of the legendary deeds of the Great Emperor of Western Qin—the Emperor Qianhua of Western Qin, that is, the emperor's father, was mediocre in intelligence and could not have been established as the crown prince.However, the Great Emperor grew up beside his ancestor Emperor Longde, and was taught by the Emperor Longde himself about politics and state affairs. When he was appointed Crown Prince at the age of ten, his biological father, Emperor Qianhua, became the Crown Prince of the Western Qin Dynasty.The position of prince came from the eldest grandson of the emperor, which had never happened in any dynasty.

When the emperor was 13 years old, Emperor Longde passed away, and Emperor Qianhua succeeded to the throne. After three years in power, he died suddenly. The 16-year-old emperor ascended the throne, and he reformed the system with ruthless methods, which not only reversed the weak situation of the imperial court , and even repaired with the enemy country Daxing at that time, and once again joined forces to fight against the Turks... His heart, courage and courage were beyond the reach of all the courtiers of the Western Qin Dynasty and Daxing, let alone his peers.

In the nearly ten years since he succeeded to the throne, Western Qin has become the most powerful country in the Central Plains. Both military and national power are above Daxing. Therefore, the people of Western Qin respectfully call him "Great Emperor". The fact that he didn't dare to be one shows his status in West Qin.Before that, because the Western Qin Emperor did not change the Yuan Dynasty when he succeeded to the throne, but continued the reign title of the former Emperor Qianhua, so people at that time called him "Young Emperor Qianhua". Now, no one dares to mention this name anymore. .

Such an elusive and peerless tyrant fell in love with his daughter, and wrote such a sincere letter to marry him, should he believe it or not?
Emperor Jing Yuan read the letter many times, but remained silent. Nie Ziling and other envoys from the Western Qin Dynasty waited quietly for a reply.Gao Xian and other close servants didn't know the content of the letter, and anxiously waited for Emperor Jing Yuan to speak.

"I thank the Emperor for his kindness on behalf of Princess Jing. After the funeral of the son-in-law is over, I will write a letter and send an envoy to the west Qin Chang'an to give the Emperor an answer." Emperor Jing Yuan smiled, put the letter away, and did not say no. He didn't agree either.

Nie Ziling was a little anxious, but his face remained calm. He bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, the emperor wants to ask your majesty to understand his sincerity and not to reply in a hurry. Please don't misunderstand him. However, the emperor ordered you to convey his message." My heart, if Princess Rongchang finds a good son-in-law again, the emperor is willing to give in, and sincerely blesses him, but before that, the prospective son-in-law needs to pass the emperor's test. , the emperor will definitely not allow it."

Although Nie Ziling's words were neither humble nor overbearing, and full of momentum, he felt guilty in his heart. These words were clearly a blatant threat. He said that he was willing to give in and sincerely bless him. Do you still dare to come?Even if he came, how could Wen Chengwu be the emperor's opponent?Wouldn't he end up with a reputation for mediocrity?More importantly, if Emperor Dongxing dared to marry his daughter to someone else, he would acquiesce that the emperor was no match for that person, and he would not take Xiqin seriously...

Such an insidious person.When Nie Ziling spoke, he was smiling, repeating his master's meaning verbatim.

As soon as Nie Ziling finished speaking, Emperor Jingyuan's face changed. Daxing had experienced the Turkic Rebellion, and its military strength and national power had been lost. Compared with the mighty Western Qin, it was obviously at a disadvantage. Therefore, the Great Western Qin dared to speak to him like this , It seems to be saying that his daughter must marry if she marries, or marry if she does not marry, which is really deceiving!
