Wei Wuhou

Chapter 732

(big chapter!!)

On August 18, 23th year of Wei Zhaohou, after more than 20 days of trekking, the Wei State Mission finally arrived in Shangluo.

This scene couldn't help but make the people in Shangluo City look sideways. Why did the Wei people come here when the emperor didn't pass the edict?

Ever since, some knowledgeable people began to speculate that another big chaos was about to happen, and the Wei people were the symbol of the big disaster.

But what they didn't expect was that when the Wei State mission explained their intentions, the so-called calamity turned out to be a happy event.

Even Ji Xiao, who is the son of heaven, was shocked by the request made by the people of Wei, because it was really not true!

"You mean, Marquis Wei wants to marry Wan Yue?" Ji Xiao asked carefully.

Under Majesty Dan, Sun Ju, the Great Honglu of Wei State, said calmly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, our Lord is asking to marry the three princesses of the former king!"

Of course, Ji Xiao was deeply impressed by her third younger sister. This was the one Qin Guo wanted to marry last year!
However, Qin's mission to welcome relatives was killed, and it was the current king of Wei who did it. This is something that everyone knows secretly.

But now that the king of the Wei Kingdom has asked to marry Ji Wanyue, the intention behind it is worth pondering... Will it involve the struggle between Qin and Wei?
For a moment, Ji Xiao didn't know how to reply to the envoy of Wei State in front of him!
From the bottom of my heart, Ji Xiao was unwilling to marry her younger sister to Wei Wuji...Wei State was the recognized enemy of all nations, and the Zhou family naturally had to make a decision based on this standpoint.

However, even if she wanted to refuse, Ji Xiao still had to give the people of Wei a little face, otherwise she would offend the people of Wei and make life difficult for the Zhou family.

So, after thinking about it, Ji Xiao said to Sun Ju: "This matter is important, I need to be cautious, and I will consider a few people before answering the messenger!"

Sun Ju has been Dahonglu for so many years, so he can naturally detect a little bit of the emperor's intentions, he can feel that the other party doesn't care about this matter.

But the monarch also issued a death order. If this matter cannot be negotiated, he, Da Honglu, can also be replaced.

Sun Ju himself knew that no matter which yamen it was, the monarch wanted to replace it with his own people, and the Dahonglu yamen was no exception.

In order to ensure his status, Sun Ju knew that he couldn't just leave like this!
He planned to increase the stakes for himself, so he said: "Your Majesty, let me..."

Seeing that the envoy of Wei State was so ignorant, Ji Xiao couldn't help feeling angry, and at the same time became more sure of his plan.

But Ji Xiao still asked, "Is there anything else the messenger needs to do?"

Sun Ju briefly recalled the situation when he was summoned by the monarch before leaving Wu'an, and said: "Before the foreign minister left, I was summoned by the monarch... Before leaving, the monarch once said to the foreign minister that he would like to end the policy of going south for a hundred years and communicate with other countries. Good neighborliness is safe, and I especially ask the princess to marry me...to inherit the grace of heaven!"

Speaking of this, Sun Ju bowed down to the tunnel and said, "I hope that Your Majesty will appreciate my lord's fiery loyalty, and marry the princess...the emperor and his subjects will all benefit!"

Wei people actually have such a plan?This news is even more unbelievable than asking to marry a princess!
Of course Ji Xiao didn't believe it, but whether he believed it or not, after hearing these words, he had to think carefully about the marriage. Should he accept Wei Guo's overture?
Wei Wuji's difficult to deal with Ji Xiao has been taught before, this is definitely a lunatic who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, do he want to offend him because of a woman?

Ji Xiao thought of a lot for a while, but his face still didn't change. Instead, he said: "I see, you go down first!"

Now, he had done everything he could, and Sun Ju didn't know what else he could do, so he had no choice but to retreat honestly.

After Sun Ju left, Ji Xiao immediately ordered the servant at the side to invite some of his important ministers to discuss matters.

This is a big matter, and Ji Xiao felt that it was necessary for her to listen to other people's opinions, and she couldn't make the mistakes of the authorities!
At the same time, calling one's trusted ministers over to discuss matters is also a means of enhancing the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, which is very important for Ji Xiao who has the ambition of rejuvenation.

…………

A few days later, news spread in Shangluo City that the purpose of the Wei people's arrival was to ask to marry the princess.

The Wei people who have been trying to go south to create chaos, unexpectedly want to marry the princess for the first time. Is this still the Wei people of the country of tigers and wolves?
Therefore, most Zhou people subconsciously believed that neither the emperor nor the princess would agree to this matter, and that the Zhou family and the Wei state were incompatible.

No one knew what the emperor Ji Zhao was thinking, but when Ji Wanyue heard the news, she was full of joy!

Her sky was originally gloomy, and her mother died of illness just a month ago, which meant that she was really unaccompanied in Shangluo.

And the one who supports Ji Wanyue to continue to live is the person she misses in her heart... And now, that person really sent someone to propose marriage!

Thinking of her mother who had been hastily buried, the joy in Ji Wanyue's heart was replaced by sadness. When her mother was dying, what she would never forget the most was her own marriage!

Thinking of this, Ji Wanyue couldn't help but shed tears, pity that her mother has suffered for most of her life!
"Princess, why are you crying?" beside Ji Wanyue, Xiao'er, the maidservant who served her, asked softly.

Xiao'er was assigned to serve Ji Wanyue when she was promised to Qin State...

It's a pity that all the missions of the state of Qin were killed, and the marriage was over. Xiao'er also gave up the idea of ​​going to the state of Qin to enjoy the blessings, and then was left by Ji Wanyue's side.

In the beginning, Xiao'er felt wronged for the princess, thinking that the princess' luck was really bad... she couldn't marry the son of Qin!

But now, when Xiao'er first knew that Wei Guojun was asking to marry the princess, she was almost in a daze!

In Xiao'er's cognition, Wei State is the most powerful country in the world, and the king of Wei State is naturally the most powerful man in the world!
Compared with the King of Wei, that Young Master of Qin is not worth mentioning, even the King of Qin... that is more than inferior!
But Xiao'er knows that the current King of the Wei Kingdom is the famous King Wu Yang who was famous all over the world before, and he is a young hero praised by everyone.

Power, fame... who can compare with the king of Wei Guo in these things?

In Xiao'er's heart, even the emperor she admired the most was not the king of Wei.

Now that she has this husband-in-law, Xiao'er doesn't know what else her princess has to be sad about. As expected, her master's thoughts are the most difficult to guess.

Seeing that the princess didn't speak, Xiao'er continued: "Princess, is it that you don't like the king of Wei?"

Immediately, Xiao'er said to herself: "That's right...although he is the most powerful person in the world, but after all, he has never met... who knows whether it is good or bad!"

Ji Wanyue didn't expect Xiao'er to say that, but she didn't intend to argue with her, the matter between her and Wei Wuji didn't need outsiders to understand.

After wiping away her tears, Ji Wanyue said, "It's just you who talk a lot all day long... What's the news outside now? Did Brother Wang agree to this matter?"

This is what Ji Wanyue is most concerned about. She is already 21 now, and she is already an older leftover woman in this era!

Moreover, she also desperately wanted to leave Shangluo, a place full of sadness and suffering... This was also her mother's wish when she was dying.

Of course, Ji Wanyue's deepest thought is to be with the one she loves as soon as possible!
However, Xiao'er couldn't answer Ji Wanyue's question, because she was just an ordinary maid.

…………

After the court meeting at the beginning of September, Ji Xiao finally called together several of her confidants to make a final decision on Wei Guo's marriage proposal.

The envoy of the State of Wei has already urged it several times, and it is not an option to continue to delay, Ji Xiao has no choice but to do so!

The reason why no decision has been made so far means that no consensus has been reached in the court meeting. Some people are opposed to this time, and some people are in favor of making peace with Wei Guo.

Of course, the most important thing is that after Ji Xiao himself listened to the opinions, his heart also became vacillating!

Inside the hall, a minister said earnestly and earnestly: "Your Majesty, Wei Guo is originally a tiger and a wolf... This courting is something that has never happened in decades, so don't hurt his goodwill!"

The blunt meaning of these words is that if the Wei people are offended, there may be some serious disasters!
Anyway, she is marrying the daughter of the royal family, just a woman... If she can bring everyone a peaceful life, why not!

But what annoyed Ji Xiao the most was hearing this. Even though he already had the intention of getting married, it was still difficult to convince his self-esteem.

At this time, a middle-aged official came out from the crowd and bowed to Ji Xiao.

This is Xiao Bing, the emissary sent by Ji Xiao to reward Wei Wuji, one of the talents Ji Xiao discovered by himself, and now he is also his confidant.

At this time, Ji Xiao really wanted to hear what Xiao Binghui would say!
"Your Majesty, I think you should agree to marry Wei Guo!"

After presenting his point of view, Xiao Bing went on to elaborate: "The third princess was originally promised to Qin, but after the death of Qin's welcoming mission, the matter was left alone...We all know who did it! "

"Now that the people of Wei state ask to marry the third princess, this will only make the relationship between Qin and Wei worse... It is a good thing for me, Da Zhou, so I should agree to Wei's request!"

"In this way, I, Da Zhou, can relieve the constant pressure on the north, and transfer power to strengthen myself!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Bing continued, seeing that everyone was in deep thought, "At the same time, the imperial court should also send envoys to the Qin State to explain Wei's intention to persecute them. You can also not be guilty!"

"In this way, it will be of great benefit to Da Zhou!"

After Xiao Bing finished speaking, whispers began to sound in the hall, and everyone was discussing the feasibility of what Xiao Bing said.

In fact, the choice is so simple, Xiao Bing said that other people may not have thought of it.

But no matter what, Xiao Bing's words can be said to have moved the emperor Ji Xiao...

In other words, Ji Xiao needed a reason to convince himself that he could agree to marry Wei Guo without hurting his self-esteem.

After pressing both hands to silence the discussion in the hall, Ji Xiao slowly said: "Your words are reasonable... I will make a decision after careful consideration. Today's court discussion is over!"

Ji Xiao's words were actually tantamount to telling everyone present that the marriage with Wei Guo had been completed, otherwise how could the court discussion be ended at this juncture.
