Chapter 133 Your Loyalty
It's just that this time I didn't succeed in getting off the horse, and the annoying concubine fulfilled the imperial concubine's empress. The imperial concubine and empress answered all five questions correctly, and the answers were all beautiful.Let people have nothing to say.

Then, in turn, it was Da Chu who set the questions. Some of the princesses of these five small countries answered, and some did not.

When we got here, everyone knew that, in order to make it easier for them to leave after entering the palace, the imperial concubine actually performed surgery, but the surgery was unsuccessful, and in the end it was embarrassing.

In the end, these princesses couldn't hold back their faces and wanted to compete in martial arts. The people in Da Chu's side stopped doing it. You are all talking about it. Do you really think this is your territory?
"It was agreed that five questions would be given each. After all of them have been finished, do you still want to continue? This is Dachu, not your territory, so don't overdo it. We are all ladies in the palace. How can you say anything?" What is it?"

"It turns out that the Great Moon Kingdom and other countries are not creditworthy countries. Is there any need to compare?"

"That's right, if you lose the competition, you have to continue to compete. If you continue to lose, you still have to compete? We, Da Chu, don't even have the right to speak? It's too much."

Empress Zhao didn't stop the chattering like this, and when everyone was talking about it, she said to everyone: "The time has come for this competition. If you are interested, you can compete next time. Of course, the concubine and others , I worked hard today, so I don’t need to participate in such things in the future.”

The imperial concubine of a country, being able to show up for a competition once is to give you face, do you still want to find out every time, and then give your face back?

It’s really hard to see the situation clearly. You must know that you are here to pay homage, not to show off your might. It would be great if I could give you a chance to compete with the nobles in the palace. I want to continue the competition ?
Who has that spare time?

For these princesses who want to enter the palace to release their concubines, everyone feels uncomfortable, and the concubines are all happy to save their face.

Of course, it is not known whether the Queen Mother will be happy after knowing the result of this matter.

The Queen Mother is not afraid that princesses from other countries will come to the palace as concubines. They are her daughters-in-law anyway. Let people who are half of the blood of other countries become the family?
This kind of thing was not allowed in all dynasties, so these people did not lose anything to the Queen Mother when they entered the palace.

It made the queen mother even more afraid of the noble concubine.

Originally, she wanted to embarrass the noble concubine and lose face again, but who knew it would become her chance to become famous.

The Empress Dowager Wang said: "Ai family, after this incident, the emperor wants to spoil the Wu family even more. Is there any other way for the people in the palace to survive?"

Gong Nai said: "The higher you stand, the harder it is to fall. When the time comes, what else can the imperial concubine rely on? Madam, don't worry."

A noble concubine like this doesn't even have a favorable natal family, so she won't be able to do anything in the future.What's the use of relying on the emperor's favor?
What's more, those unfavored women in the palace are more or less jealous of this noble concubine, because if she is favored, others will have no chance.

They have already given birth to two princes, and if they still hold on to the emperor, they are not giving others a chance.

If you don't give others a chance, they won't have a chance. How can you not hate her?
Although Da Chu was proud of what happened this time, no matter how many things happened, he couldn't bear people's jealousy.

Wang Mingya didn't say anything here, but she stumped the princesses, but the limelight was all taken by Concubine Wu.The rest of the questions are for Mr. Wu to answer, no one else has a chance.

This incident was simply specially prepared for the Wu family to make the Wu family stand out.

Now, those calculations behind the scenes are all over.

On the Wang family's side, Cheng Engong was also very annoyed. He didn't expect that those from the small countries would be so useless, what to say, the questions that came up, the Wu family would definitely not be able to answer them. , This is to make the Wu family famous, the effect is completely reversed.

Originally, I wanted to embarrass the Wu family. It would be better to implicate the third and fourth princes, so that the two of them would lose the chance to be the prince because of this concubine mother. of.

Who knew it would turn out like this, now that Concubine Wu Gui is extremely intelligent, the third and fourth princes she gave birth to must also be extremely intelligent.

In the future, when it comes to the selection of the prince, the third prince will definitely not be skipped.

This method of waiting for work with ease has been made like this by the people of these small countries.

I still want to enter the palace and become a concubine, with this level, what kind of concubine should I be?

Afterwards, Cheng Engong didn't want to see these people anymore. He couldn't do this kind of thing well, and he wanted to introduce himself to the Queen Mother. It was a dream come true.

He just exchanged conditions with them, if they could help to put the imperial concubine under custody, then he could find a way to get the emperor to accept them, but in the end they didn't complete the task, so no wonder he was to blame.

The Empress Dowager also came to talk, and told me to have less contact with these people. Just because of this matter, he stopped communicating.

But the emperor's people knew that some people from these small countries visited Cheng'en Gong's mansion, and the emperor also knew the general idea of ​​what they did.

The emperor doesn't like Cheng Engong, who doesn't care about the face of the country and only thinks of benefiting the royal family.

Didn't the Wang family ever think that if the imperial concubine loses her face, Da Chu's face will be better?I always thought that it was only the matter of the noble concubine, or that it was the matter of the third and fourth princes, but the dignity of Da Chu was not considered by the royal family.

Sure enough, he is a person who only has the Wang family in his heart. No matter what means he uses, he wants to remove his own obstacles.

It's a pity that their wish was not fulfilled, and the Wang family regretted it in their hearts.

Even the Empress Dowager, who had no choice but to be happy, didn't think about the national system at all.

Always thinking about getting the imperial concubine down, it is best never to turn over, that way, they will be comfortable.

The emperor was even more dissatisfied with the members of the Wang family, but it was all buried in his heart.

I am more satisfied with the imperial concubine, and the same with the third prince.

Of course, with regard to these small countries, he promised to help them send troops, but he asked several cabinets to negotiate a lot of conditions and help them fight, but he had to give Da Chu a lot of things and territory.

The small countries came here this time because a slightly larger country wanted to invade them. The fighting power of the small countries was not good enough, so they had to rely on the army of Da Chu. Originally, they wanted to send a few princesses. Come on, Da Chu is a big country, and it has always been to hoe the strong and help the weak. Helping them fight wars is also a show of the demeanor of a big country. Besides, they even gave away people, but Da Chu is indeed a public this time. Also unambiguous.

If you want Da Chu to send troops, okay, come up with relative benefits, don't fool people, just want Da Chu to send troops unconditionally if you want a few words of great power?

When was this a good thing?
Now is not the time for Da Chu to show off his military power. There is no need to send troops unconditionally. So if Da Chu wants to send troops, he has to give military rations and military expenses. The people of Chu will not send troops, and the soldiers of Da Chu are all first-class, so how can they be casually lost in these insignificant wars?
Therefore, these small countries must offer very good conditions, otherwise, they will not be accepted.

Really that big Chu person is a fool, say a few nice words, exaggerate Chu, and you have everything?

That was decades ago, and there is simply no such thing as cheap now.

The faces of the envoys from several small countries were covered with sweat. Before they came, they had already issued a military order to invite the army of Da Chu with the least cost, send a few princesses, and let Da Chu send troops. It's a good deal, you know, the princess is a golden branch and a jade leaf.

Who knew that faced with such a situation, decades ago, how could the emperor at that time be so talkative?

If you exaggerate those who exaggerate Chu, and then complain about their grievances, Da Chu will be like the big brother, helping these younger brothers to vent their anger and stand out.I don’t want anything, just to say that with Big Chu, you little brothers don’t have to be afraid. If you have any difficulties, come to Big Brother.

How come decades have passed, and this good big brother has become so powerful. If he doesn't give benefits, he won't come out, and if he doesn't see rabbits, he won't scatter eagles.

The benefits you want are really bloody.

But let’s not give benefits, then other countries are watching closely, and when the time comes to destroy the country, there will be nothing left.

There is no way, they can't wait for time.Even if you want to sell the princesses, you have been beaten before your eyes, so you are not in a hurry to find someone. After that, when you go back and destroy the country, these princesses can no longer be called princesses.

The envoys tried many ways, but they were unsuccessful, because the emperor of Dachu was determined this time, and he had to send troops only after those benefits. If anyone dares to speak good things to these small countries, let these people go to these small countries. Let's make plans.

Because of this, these envoys had no choice but to agree to these conditions. Da Chu's dispatch of troops this time will benefit a lot, and it can occupy a few more territories. Da Chu's border will also expand. It is not an active aggression, but someone invited them Going to war, such a good thing, the men of the Ministry of War are struggling to go.

Anyway, you are not fighting in your own country, and the people you kill are not from your own country, and you can get back a lot of good things, why not do it?
If you win the battle, you can still be promoted to a noble. Such a good opportunity, those who don't go are fools.

So the Ministry of War suddenly became the most popular department, and there were so many people who wanted to go to war to get credit for it.

I heard that where there is going to be a war, those emeralds and precious stones are all over the place. When the time comes, just make a fortune, it will be enough for a lifetime.

And the envoys of these small countries are still thinking of ways to send these princesses to the palace. After all, although the conditions have been increased, if these princesses can enter the palace, as long as one of them is favored, After giving birth to a prince, it will benefit my country a lot in the future.

Then if you get favored again, blow on the emperor's pillow, and the emperor will be able to promise many things when he is happy. Wouldn't these losses just come back?

It's just that their thoughts are beautiful, and they also said that these princesses envy Da Chu's life and want to live in Da Chu.

Even the queen mother approached the emperor and suggested that he keep a few princesses in the palace for the sake of good neighborliness and friendship. This has happened in all dynasties.

But the emperor said: "Since you envy Da Chu's life, then you should stay in Da Chu and be your daughter-in-law."

As soon as these words came out, many families in the capital began to betroth their sons of the right age, for fear of being given marriages to their sons. You must know that marrying princesses from these small countries as daughter-in-laws is really of no benefit .

When the relationship between the two countries is good, the princess's daughter-in-law can't help her husband's family. How can the country relationship with this princess be better than others?

Wouldn't that be questioned?
And when the relationship between the two countries is not good, the princess's daughter-in-law is a cannon fodder and immediately becomes a hot potato. When the time comes, should she rest or kill her?
Therefore, as long as they are really intelligent people, they will not marry such a person as a wife.

Of course, there are also those families who "share the worries for the country". Their family background is not very good, and they are almost out of the threshold of the family. It is also a very good choice to marry a princess from a small country, so that the royal family can remember their family. .

So these princesses are not worried that no one will marry them. At worst, the emperor will take the initiative to give them marriages.

The emperor also gave a marriage to a member of the Wang family, the princess of the Great Moon Kingdom.

Since the queen mother said that for the sake of good neighborliness and friendship, the Wang family, as the queen mother's natal family, should also make due contributions to good neighborliness and friendship, right?
Letting you marry the princess is also for the sake of good neighborliness and friendship, so you can continue happily.

It's impossible to choke Cheng Engong, how could his royal family want to marry such a princess, isn't this just asking for trouble for himself?

But the emperor has issued a decree, it will not work if you don't marry.

They said it in the words of the empress dowager.

When the queen mother found out, she was very angry. The emperor's wings were getting harder and harder, so he didn't take her as the queen mother seriously.

The empress dowager was really angry and sick. The emperor came to visit, but she didn't let the emperor in. It can be seen that she was really angry with the emperor.

"The face of the Ai family is disgraceful. The emperor doesn't care about the Wang family." The Queen Mother said.

The palace nurse said: "I heard that the emperor knew that Cheng Engong had secretly contacted the envoys of the Dayue Kingdom and other countries, and also received some benefits, so he was angry, so he betrothed the princess of the Dayue Kingdom to the Wang family. children."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother didn't bother to complain, and said, "Is that so?"

"Can't you see that? The servant girl sees that the emperor is usually very filial. This time, he must think that the people of the Wang family are not doing well. But it doesn't matter if the Wang family marries a princess, as long as the two countries are on good terms." , the princess can still live a peaceful life in the Wang family."

The Queen Mother sighed: "Mr. Cheng En's actions have also been caught by people. There is no way to do it. This time we are too impatient, thinking that we can pull down Wu's horse at once. After all, there is nothing to do To the face of the country, who knows that it didn't drag her down, and let her show off! Forget it, marry a princess from a small country, let's just marry a princess from a small country, forgive that the big moon country will not dare to fight against big Chu , The Wang family has many children, and the Ai family doesn't believe it. This one who marries the princess can drag down the Wang family. It's good to let the emperor vent his anger, so as not to deepen the resentment towards the Wang family."

The queen mother figured it out, and the disease will recover soon.

The next time the emperor comes to visit her, she will also let Huangshan in. She knows that she can play with the emperor, but not all the time. After all, the emperor is the master of the world. How many things have to be decided by the emperor? Woolen cloth.

As a queen mother, she can only rely on being the emperor's son.

So the Queen Mother took the initiative to talk about Cheng Engong's meeting with the envoy of the Great Moon Kingdom.

"I want to know the intentions of these people in advance. Your uncle has no other intentions. He is also afraid that these people will have some conspiracy.
It harmed Da Chu's interests. After all, your uncle has met the people of Da Yue Kingdom before and is familiar with them. "

The emperor nodded and said: "I know all this. The good news for me is that the mother should rest well and get well soon. I understand the painstaking efforts of my uncle. He is a minister of Da Chu, and his heart is also for Da Chu. It's clear. I understand."
