Zhizhou: \"You're An Official, But You're Raising A Bunch Of Demonesses?

Chapter 118: Promoted, the Huns come and want to marry the imperial daughter

Bai Yu is naturally happy when the female leader's sister returns home.

If we say that the core of the female general's sister's thinking is the way of thinking of a scholar like "a scholar dies for his confidant".

Bai Yu spends his days pondering how to make others die for him, the way of the 'prince'.

He didn't say anything false.

The female general sister is on his side, it will be useful sooner or later!

Besides, he really wanted to help her and liked her sincerely.

In the dream, the two exchanged cups and glasses, and said some sincere words of confidantes, but they were also happy.

time flies by,

Although Qianyuan has all kinds of trivial matters, it is still peaceful on the outside.

Zhang Baiji, the Minister of the Ministry of War, was old, and he asked to resign and go home.

The old emperor readily agreed,

In the evening, Bai Yu was called into the palace to talk for half the night.

The next day, Bai Yu, who was happily fishing in the Hanlin Academy while eating and waiting to die, was brought up.

Minister of the Ministry of War, under the fourth rank,

Already belonging to the top officials of the current dynasty, entering the top power center of the country, usually need to go to the early court to participate in the discussion of state affairs.

Some people have survived for eight or nine years, and they are still just low-level officials beyond the sixth rank.

Bai Yu has been in this position for less than a year, and now "Nine Zero Three" is in this position. It's like a rocket, rising suddenly.

However, it is very weird, and it doesn't give people a sense of incongruity.

Even the court did not raise any objections.

First of all, his talent reputation is indeed far-reaching, and it can be said that he is the most gold-rich number one scholar since the previous imperial examinations.

Moreover, the first princess, the second prince...all respect him very much.

In addition, people did rise up step by step from the normal process at the grassroots level, even if the speed is a bit fast, they can't make mistakes.

Besides, Li Wanying, a former talented woman, was promoted quite quickly.

If it is said that this person is in the court, he does not have too many unique characteristics.

It's not like a high-minded and honest official who doesn't go with the world.

It's not like some flattering people who give gifts and laugh constantly.

He just stayed in this position indifferently, with a low sense of presence, and even a little lazy.

If you have nothing to do, take sick leave instead of attending court meetings and working.

time flies by,

spring goes and autumn comes,

The old emperor has changed a lot in this year.

A person may grow old in an instant,

His body was getting weaker and weaker, his complexion was gray, and he was old, and he often couldn't restrain his cough in court.

I have never heard of the memorial urging him to establish a crown prince.

There was a war of words and guns in the court, and the factional struggle between the eldest princess and the second prince became more and more intense.

morning meeting,

I don't know if it's the illusion of the officials, but I always feel that the atmosphere in the court today is a bit heavy.

Minister of Rites Song Xiaoqi bowed to Lan Su, respectfully said: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Huns is now requesting an audience outside the palace!"

Lan Su squinted his eyes and asked, "Why did the envoys of the Huns come?"

The Huns have actually been restless in recent years.

There are often news in the frontier that some Huns entered the city, burned, killed and looted.

Lan Chi joined the army a few years ago, and most of them participated in the war against the Huns on the frontier.

He has seen many cruel sights,

So I vowed to completely wipe out these barbarians, destroy the country and exterminate the species.

However, the grassland is vast, and the war of the army is quite disadvantageous and consumes a lot, so the border between Qianyuan and the Xiongnu has always been in a stalemate.

Hearing these words, Lan Chi, who was standing in front, also had fierce eyes,

The courtiers around him could feel the intense pressure from him.

Song Xiaoqi replied in a deep voice: "He said that he was ordered by the Great Khan of the Huns to come to our dynasty to discuss cooperation and establish friendly relations. He has admired our princess for a long time, and he wants to marry and be a good friend forever."

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the entire court became quieter.

Political marriage and friendship have always been one of the ties to maintain relations between countries.

However, it would be humiliating to make peace with barbarians like the Huns.

Lan Su tapped the armrest of the dragon chair lightly with his fingers, and asked the officials below: "What do you think?"

Lan Chi took the lead and couldn't wait to speak: "I thought that Qianyuan and the Xiongnu were reconciled, and the Xiongnu would renege on the covenant in a few years. Why don't you agree and send troops to attack them directly!

"Your Highness's words are wrong!"

Another minister said: "A marriage is naturally different from an ordinary peace covenant, and a marriage is stronger."

"The Xiongnu grasslands are vast, with plenty of soldiers and horses. Migration is as elusive as birds. Sending a large army to fight thousands of miles away is not easy to succeed. It consumes a lot of money, and the gain outweighs the loss!"

"It's better to be in-laws and live together in friendship."

"Besides, it's not a bad idea to make peace with the Great Khan of the Huns.

Lan Chi looked at him coldly: "Then take your daughter to make peace with the Huns!"

"Uh.......this..."

The barbarians of the Xiongnu are in such a crappy place, if you marry there, you will definitely suffer a lifetime of crimes.

Another person said: "Your Majesty can confer the title of princess on a commoner girl and send them away.

Lan Chi snorted coldly, and just said: "It's not my race, its heart must be different!"

The court ministers talked a lot,

But generally speaking, the supporters are far greater than the fighters.

If you send a princess to exchange for a few years of stability on the frontier, then it is actually quite worth it.

Such a peaceful and stable environment without waves is the best for most people.

Bai Yu just stood in the crowd and watched with interest, without making any comments.

on the Dragon Throne,

Lan Su's face was calm, he couldn't see any emotion, and he didn't express his position, he just said lightly: "Let them come in."

Accompanied by the eunuch shouting outside the door,

A group of three people dressed strangely and completely different from Qianyuan walked into the court hall,

The leader is a dark-skinned, strong-bodied man with patterns painted on his face,

Wearing animal skin clothes, decorated with animal teeth.

He stood at the entrance of the court hall, crossed his arms across his chest, and bowed to Lan Su respectfully.

In a somewhat broken common language, he said: "Xia Nari Aslan, who belongs to the Zuo family of the Xiayue tribe, came to pay respects to Emperor Qianyuan in the name of Yu Boerzhijin Khan, the great Shan of our tribe.

Lan Su propped his chin, looked at him with lowered eyebrows, and said flatly: "Excuse me."

"The envoy has traveled thousands of miles to come to our imperial capital, what is the matter?"

"Report to His Majesty the Great Emperor."

"My great chanyu has admired the prosperous Qianyuan pilgrimage for a long time!"

"The border friction is really a misunderstanding. Our family's closeness to the Holy Dynasty can be learned from the sun and the moon. My Da Shanyu has also admired the Pearl of the Dynasty for a long time. I would like to donate a thousand horses and ten thousand catties of wool to establish a marriage with the Holy Dynasty. May the two countries communicate with each other and be united forever..."

This makes the cultural level not too high,

It is difficult for him to make up such a long paragraph, speak such a large paragraph in poor common language.

Several ministers who originally supported the marriage could not help but secretly nodded after hearing his words.

At the very least, the sincerity of this envoy is quite sufficient.

Lan Su also nodded lightly: "I know......"

"Wait for me to ask some of my daughters, who would like to tie the knot with the prairie eagle, how about it?"

Lan Su seemed to agree to the marriage.

However at this moment,

The envoy of the Xiongnu shook his head: "I would like to report to Emperor Qianyuan that our clan's great Shanyu does not want any other princesses."

"My eldest son heard that Lanxi, the empress of Qianyuan, has a beautiful face, virtuous and dignified, graceful and luxurious, she is a woman of the sky! My eldest son has been in love with her for a long time!"

As soon as this remark came out,

For a moment, the whole place is silent,

Even the minister who originally advocated marriage changed his face.

Who is this messenger talking about?

The eldest princess? Lan Xi?

This is the Great Queen!

This is the eldest princess who holds half of the votes in the court and competes with the second prince for the heir apparent!

It can be said that he is half of the future emperor!

Is the emissary insane?

How dare you say such a thing?!

Don't say it's the eldest princess, even ordinary princesses don't want to give it to you!

At most, I will seal a court lady as an honorary princess, and I will give it to you!

Want to fart?!

This doesn't seem to be for marriage anymore, it's simply an insult.

Lan Xi, who was standing in front of the court hall, suddenly froze when she was mentioned.

Pretty face flushed, trembling uncontrollably,

Not out of shame, but out of anger!

How dare he?!

How dare he?!

Does he deserve it?

Although the princess is busy with political affairs and has no interest in love for the time being, it doesn't mean she doesn't understand!

It doesn't mean that she is willing to marry anyone casually!

Her heart is as high as the sky!

How can one look at such dung?

It's disgusting to be mentioned.

And... There was already a special person living in a special corner of her heart unknowingly.

Not just any outspoken military commander shouted angrily: "Bold!!!"

"I am the eldest princess, how can I marry far away?!"

The atmosphere in the court hall is also a bit colder,

Lan Su sat on the throne, his face was expressionless, but there were bursts of terrifying power.

facing all eyes,

The envoy's face was still warm, and he said: "Emperor, my great dan Yu 1.9 is also brave and unparalleled. He is the hero of the grassland. The two heroes and beauties are really a good match. I hope that the emperor will make it happen."

"Our clan has already assembled good men from outside the country, just to clean up the dust for the imperial daughter of the Holy Dynasty, and join our tribe to show our sincerity."

"As long as the eldest princess is willing to come, I will take care of you like good wine and meat, and live a happy and stable life!"

He bowed slightly towards Lan Su and said seriously.

Wanqi,

The words were half respectful, and half hidden threats.

If it weren't for the marriage, then this Wanqi might have been burned, killed and looted...

The old emperor's energy-raising skills at this time are quite good,

Even so, he was not angry.

His face was still calm, with no expression of joy or anger.

However, everyone present could faintly feel the oppressive momentum before the eruption of the volcano.

"Bai Yu, what do you think?"

Somehow he did not respond to the messenger,

He just turned his attention to one of the civil servants,

Suddenly a name came up.

Among the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, this name seemed a bit low-key.

This guy always asks for sick leave, and even the people in the upper class don't recognize it all, so he came today?

Lan Xi also turned around abruptly and looked in that person's direction.

For no reason.

She also really wanted to know... what is this person's answer?
