The blind concubine married the prince, don't stand in the way

Chapter 470 020: In the same way, not emotional
Although Xie Guogong has woken up and his condition has improved, but he is getting older, and this time he was hit hard again. The stroke was more serious, his mouth was crooked and he could not speak, and his body was also very stiff. It would take a while to heal. I can't be in a hurry, now I can only let Yan Wuchou go over to treat him every day, and then we'll see the situation.

As for the civil strife in the Xie family, Xie Guogong is ill, Xie Yun is still alive and dead, and only Mrs. Xie can barely support it, but depending on the situation, it won't last long. However, in this situation, not to mention Fu Yue, even the queen can't interfere too much, let alone There has been a lot of discussion outside, saying that Xie Guogong’s order is not long, and Xie Yun is dead. In this case, it is justifiable for the second master of the Xie family to act as an agent, and with the support of the emperor, now we can only make trouble with them, anyway. Xie Guogong has been in charge of the Xie family for more than 30 years, and has already held the Xie family tightly in his hands. Those who control the real power are Xie Guogong's confidantes, and this is not something they can take away in a short time.

When August was approaching, another message was sent back from the northern border, causing Fu Yue's already worried heart to fall to the bottom of the valley in an instant.

The Prince of Chu's Mansion, Xie's family, and An Guogong all sent people to search for ten days, but they couldn't find Xie Yun. However, they found blood-stained clothes and carrion in a deep mountain ten miles away from the place where he was assassinated. Although it was impossible to tell whether it was Xie Yun, but the jade pendant worn by Xie Yun was also found near the corpse, and it was still stained with dried blood...

Therefore, Xie Yun is probably already...

Fu Yue didn't dare to let Mrs. Xie know about this at all. She also intercepted all the handouts sent back by the people in the northern border of Xie's family. She only asked people to tell Mrs. Xie that she was still searching and there was no news, but the news was still very urgent. It soon spread outside, and Fu Yue could only ask the people around Mrs. Xie to guard her so that she would not hear these rumors again, but it was useless at all. With conclusive news, the second wife of Xie's family and people from the side branch forced her to It's even more fierce, it's like trying to force the palace...

The Xie family was already in chaos, but the news of Xie Yun's death made things worse...

The queen had no choice but to go out of the palace every day, so she had to let the prince and Princess Yichuan go to Xie's house to visit Xie Guogong every day to support Mrs. Xie.

At the same time, the capital of East Vietnam.

Two days later it will be the Empress Ceremony. Qin’s guard of honor and Dongyue’s missions have arrived in Suodu ten days ago, while Dongyue’s Emeritus Ceremony has already been prepared two months ago. Now that the emperor and queen's wedding is approaching, everything is almost ready.

As soon as Yu Wenzhuo came back from the palace, his subordinates handed him a letter he had just received.

Qin came.

He took it, opened it and read it, his originally peaceful and elegant face was a little cold.

Then, after thinking for a moment, he rubbed the paper into his palm, and told his subordinate Cheng Ben, "Go and invite the Prime Minister."

"Yes."

Yu Wenzhuo then went to the study to deal with the government affairs entrusted to him by the emperor. After staying for about an hour, Cao Guoxiang came.

"See Your Highness."

"The Prime Minister is exempt from courtesy, please sit down."

Cao Guoxiang just sat down at the bottom, waited for the servants to serve the tea, took a sip of tea, and said: "The old minister originally planned to come to see His Highness tomorrow, but he didn't want His Highness to invite someone to invite someone today, but I don't know what it is?"

Yu Wenzhuo raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile: "The Prime Minister of the country wants to find me, maybe it's because of the third girl?"

Cao Guoping was somewhat surprised: "Did the Empress Dowager tell Her Highness?"

Yu Wenzhuo said: "It's the emperor's brother. Two days ago, the emperor's brother said that he planned to give the marriage dowry to the king as his concubine. After asking the state minister's meaning, if the state minister agrees, he will issue an edict to marry him after he gets married. .”

Miss Cao's third name is Cao Yuchuo, and she is the only daughter of Cao Guoxiang.

Cao Guoxiang is a pure minister. He has been loyal to the emperor all his life and worked hard on state affairs. He was trusted and entrusted with important tasks during the first emperor's time. After the emperor ascended the throne, he is loyal to the current majesty regardless of any doubts. The most important official Xuan has relied on these years is not keen on female sex, so there are not many wives and concubines. There are only two sons and one daughter under his knees. All his sons are married, and his grandson is over ten years old. He raises his children and grandchildren very strictly, so His children and grandchildren were never close to him. Cao Yuchuo was his old daughter, who was loved the most and was closest to him. She was his heart and soul. No, now that she is seventeen or eighteen years old, he is reluctant to marry Going out, just because I couldn't find a satisfactory son-in-law.

Cao Guoxiang nodded: "So that's the case. Today, the Empress Dowager summoned the old minister and mentioned this matter. She said that it was for the old minister to consider. If it is acceptable, I will let His Majesty grant the marriage."

Yu Wenzhuo hurriedly asked: "Then what does the Prime Minister mean?"

Cao Guoxiang did not express his position for a while, and sat quietly in meditation.

Yu Wenzhuo is 24 years old this year. He has a gentle and humble personality and excellent appearance. Among the children of the royal family, he has the best reputation. He is also the emperor's younger brother. The deep brotherhood with the emperor is not false. He is a famous family in the capital. Girl, I don’t know how much I want to marry him, but he has always refused to marry him. In fact, it’s not that he has never refused to marry him. He once had a fiancée, who was appointed by the first emperor to be the daughter of the Marquis Mansion. Jiji died of illness that year, and it happened only two years ago, so his marriage was delayed, plus he didn't value women, and he didn't have any concubines around him, and his character was like this, plus the status of the Cao family was stable, No matter what happens in the future, no matter whether he has feelings for Cao Yuchuo or not, he will definitely not treat Cao Yuchuo badly. Cao Guo loves his daughter, so the so-called parents love their son, and they will have far-reaching plans for it. In fact, they are satisfied with such a son-in-law.

It is rare to have such a satisfied one.

but……

Cao Guoxiang was actually not very happy in his heart. Once he had this in-law, the Cao family lost the basic position of pure ministers, and he didn't want his daughter to marry into the royal family, otherwise, with his powerful position, his daughter would have been the queen long ago.

Seeing that Prime Minister Cao hesitated to speak, Yu Wenzhuo said with a gentle smile: "If Prime Minister is not willing, I will talk to my queen mother and elder brother. There is no need for Prime Minister to be in a difficult situation."

Cao Guoxiang also knew Yu Wenzhuo's good intentions. If he didn't want to directly reject the Emperor and Empress Dowager, those two would feel displeased. Although he shouldn't refute his intentions, he would inevitably lose his duty as a minister.

It's different for Yu Wenzhuo to say it, and Yu Wenzhuo should be the villain.

Cao Guoxiang nodded, and then asked: "Your Highness, the old minister has never asked, what do you think of the little girl?"

Naturally, Yu Wenzhuo and Cao Yuchuo knew each other and were not unfamiliar with each other.

Yu Wenzhuo pondered for a moment, and said frankly: "To be honest with the Prime Minister, this king has never thought of marrying the third girl before, so before, he only treated the third girl as a younger sister. If you talk about affection, I'm afraid I don't have it now, but , if you really marry her, I will treat her as kindly as possible, and I will never let her down in this life."

Cao Guoxiang was very satisfied with Yu Wenzhuo's frankness. After thinking for a while, he said, "Your Highness, let the old minister think about it a little more, and ask the little girl's wishes before making a decision. How about it?"

Yu Wenzhuo nodded: "That's fine, then the king will wait for the reply from the Prime Minister and the third girl."

Only then did Cao Guoxiang change the subject: "Let's not talk about this matter for now. Your Highness is looking for the old minister. I'm afraid there is another matter?"

Only then did Yu Wenzhuo look serious, nodded and said: "The day after tomorrow will be the big wedding of the emperor. The king has already made arrangements, and it should be foolproof. It's just that the Prime Minister of the country has never said a word about this matter before. It seems that there are other things. In terms of opinion, the king is always a little uneasy, so he asked the country minister to ask."

Cao Guoxiang said: "The veteran just thinks that joining forces with the Zhao family of the Qin State is nothing more than seeking skin from a tiger. After all, we have also learned how cunning the Zhao family is this time, not to mention that it is not easy for the masters around Zhao Si to succeed like clouds. What His Highness said, if that Zhao Yu is really the heir that Emperor Qin prefers, if he dies in Dongyue, Emperor Qin may not give up. Besides, it is still unknown whether King Rong will be able to succeed. The benefits are just a breath, if it doesn't work, it will be a big disadvantage."

Yu Wenzhuo's face tightened, and he lowered his voice and said gloomyly: "The Prime Minister's words are wrong. Even if King Rong can't succeed, the Qin State is already strong from the outside, and the internal strife is endless. No matter what the reason is, it is impossible to dare to attack us easily again, not to mention, this is just repaying them in the same way. This time they are so despicable, and they have caused us to suffer such a big loss. They have to let them It’s better to pay a price, now I want to kill him as an heir, so what should I do?”

This time, although Yu Wenxuan didn't blame him for being unfavorable and suffering such a big loss, he couldn't swallow it. He had never suffered such a big loss in his life.

Since the two countries are married, Princess Zhending married Dongyue as the queen. They should respect the whole country, and they will not be angry with an innocent woman because of what Qin did before, but this enmity with Qin is also To be liquidated!

After He Anzi was sent back, he had been imprisoned in the palace and fell ill. Although he was not given death, being insane was no different from death. After all, it was his sister who had been hurt since childhood, so he couldn't bear it. Half of the account must be counted on Zhao's head!

Cao Guoxiang's old and thick voice reminded: "But Your Highness, don't forget that our country of Yue is not peaceful, and King Jing'an and others are still eyeing us."

Yu Wenzhuo was silent for a moment.

Cao Guoxiang said: "The marriage seems to be successful this time, but it is very different from the original intention. Not only did the princess of Qin have to be appointed as the queen, but also a Princess He'an was lost. There are many suspicions and dissatisfaction in the court and the people. If so If things go wrong again, the royal family will be disgraced, and King Jing'an's party will be given a reason to launch an attack. If there is chaos in the court, then this is a big deal. For the long-term plan, the veteran thinks that now is not the time to embarrass Qin, and the future will be long. "

Yu Wenzhuo also took Cao Guoxiang's scruples seriously. In fact, they only need to stabilize the domestic situation, plan to get rid of internal troubles, and wait for Qin's own internal corruption. They can all see that Qin's internal struggle is fierce and I'm afraid there is still chaos, they just have to wait, there will always be a day of revenge in the future, it is not too late to avenge the gentleman for ten years, after all, it is he who has become impulsive this time.

Yu Wenzhuo sighed, and said: "But the matter has come to this, the king has made arrangements, and joined hands with King Rong secretly, now it is only time to wait, and I am afraid it will be difficult to stop."

"Your Highness is saying that King Rong has also sent someone?"

Yu Wenzhuo nodded: "Well, originally he planned to do it on the way here, but he never had the chance, and I thought it was extremely inappropriate for such a thing to happen on the way to see off his relatives, so I rejected his intention, and it has been delayed until now."

Cao Guoxiang smiled lightly when he heard the words, raised his hand and stroked his beard and said: "Since he sent someone, he must have been fully prepared, so His Highness doesn't need to do his best."

"The meaning of the country's prime minister..."

Cao Guo smiled and said nothing.

After thinking about it for a while, Yu Wenzhuo understood what Cao Guoxiang meant.

Yu Wenzhuo immediately smiled and said, "I understand, thank you Prime Minister Guo for your guidance."

Cao Guo didn't say a word about this, but asked another question: "I heard that Your Majesty has met the Princess of Qin several times these days, and is very fond of her?"

Yu Wenzhuo nodded: "Indeed, the emperor and Princess Zhending visited the Imperial Garden several times together, and they are very satisfied with her temperament, talent and appearance, and they are quite speculative with her. Even the queen mother is very satisfied with her." .”

Different from other marriages, Princess Zhending is a queen who has been appointed and will enter the harem soon. Therefore, not only did she receive the treatment of a queen all the way from Qin, she also did not live in the envoy station when she arrived in Yandu. , but directly lived in the palace, and lived in the Fengzao Palace where the queen lived. She is also kind, regardless of the grievances with Qin, this queen is still okay.

Cao Guoxiang's face was a little dignified, and he didn't speak for a while.

Seeing him like this, Yu Wenzhuo sighed again: "This king knows that the country is very dissatisfied with what Qin has done this time, and the attitude towards Princess Zhending along the way can be seen, but although Qin has acted despicably this time, this Princess Zhending is innocent, and the emperor is not a narrow-minded person. Princess Zhending is also the queen of Ding. Naturally, the emperor will not be angry with her. As long as she is not at fault, she will be the queen of our Yue Kingdom all her life. Therefore, don’t worry about the relationship between the two countries.”

Cao Guoxiang is a typical honest and loyal minister, and he is dedicated to planning for East Vietnam. Although he can distinguish right from wrong, he still doesn't want the emperor to marry a Qin princess as his queen. In this way, the concubine can be despicable, but the queen is not.

He said indifferently: "How could the old minister not know what His Highness said? It's just that she is the princess of the Qin Kingdom after all, and it's hard to see through a person's character at a glance. What's more, she doesn't know why she is married to us in Yue Kingdom this time. Your Majesty, don't treat her..."

moved affection.

It doesn't matter if the Princess of Qin is the queen, I'm afraid that the emperor will take the initiative to think about this princess and be fascinated, and I'm afraid it will be troublesome in the future.

Since ancient times, there have been countless wise kings who have been bewitched by beauty and turned into foolish kings.

Yu Wenzhuo smiled: "The prime minister is worrying too much, the emperor is just satisfied with her, how can the emperor's heart be so easily hooked away? Besides, the emperor knows it well, who is it? If you are emotional, you will not be emotional to a foreign princess."

　I'm not feeling well today, and I'll make up for the second shift I owe tomorrow, okay?
