On the other side, Nangong Yuanyi directly took Nangong Heng out of the garden.
He did not go directly to the palace to meet the emperor, but went to a private residence.
Because An Tingxuan sent a letter to An Xiyue but he intercepted it.
This is the property purchased by the Huo family in Yuzhou in Kyoto. Huo Weixi has been living here since he came to Kyoto. Now the head of the Huo family has sent his sister here.
When Huo Weixi saw King Nan and King Chu coming together, he was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly welcomed them into the courtyard.
"Common people meet the King of the South and the King of Chu." Huo Weixi saluted respectfully.
"Get up, I am here today to ask Mr. Huo something." Nangong Yuanyi said calmly.
Huo Weixi asked his servants to serve them tea and then left. He looked at the servants cautiously, and after making sure that the servants did not stay to eavesdrop, he said: "Brother Tingxuan has told the prince and princess about my sister. Yet?"
Huo Weixi had secretly approached Antingxuan to help him contact An Xiyue, but when An Xiyue was seriously injured and fell into coma, the matter fell apart.
Nangong Heng was confused after hearing this. He came to Nanwang to discuss the large number of victims in Yuzhou and Zhangzhou due to the snowstorm. He wanted to find a way to find food to save his life, so how could he come here to care about other people's sisters?
"I gave you a general idea, but that's not the point. Now the choice of the crown princess has been decided. When the Emperor of Heaven selects a good and auspicious day, the crown prince will marry the princess of Zhou Kingdom as the crown prince. With the Queen Mother as the matchmaker, your sister can be regarded as a concubine at best. .”
Nangong Yuanyi said again: "You Huo family have always been merchants. Since the Queen Mother wants to help you Huo family this time, isn't the purpose of your coming to Kyoto just to take the imperial examination and become an official? This time is a good opportunity. With the help of your sister, I believe that Young Master Huo will rise steadily in the future with his talent and learning."
Huo Weixi frowned and suddenly knelt down and said, "Please, Your Majesty, save my sister."
The more Nangong Heng listened, the more nonsense he felt, "What happened?"
Huo Weixi said eloquently: "We, brother and sister, have always been dependent on each other in the Huo family. My sister was originally engaged to someone since she was a child, but the head of the Huo family insisted on sending her to the palace, so the marriage was canceled privately. But my sister is not willing to enter the palace as a concubine, and now that the Queen Mother and the head of the family are putting pressure on her, ordinary people have no choice but to ask for a concubine."
The King of Chu also said: "I heard that Concubine Su wanted to let her brother's daughter sit on the throne of the Crown Princess. Unexpectedly, my father, in order to consolidate the diplomatic relations between the Northern Dynasty and the State of Zhou, directly gave the crown prince and Princess Zhou the title of Concubine. After getting married, Concubine Su was very angry. The Queen Mother wanted to let the daughter of the Huo family enter the Prince's Mansion. According to the King's opinion, the Queen Mother could not sit still. Now let the person named Huo occupy a place beside the Prince. "
The King of Chu has always had a think tank.
"I also heard that the Queen Mother used the snow disaster in Yuzhou to put pressure on the Crown Prince and the Emperor, asking the Crown Prince to marry the daughter of the Huo family as his concubine, so that the Huo family would support the Emperor in disaster relief. From this point of view, the Queen Mother is quite smart. .”
"We are all her grandsons. Why doesn't she hope that we will be well? Isn't the prince also her grandson? If the Huo family really hid food and starved the people to death, wouldn't it harm her son's country? "
"In the past, when Nangong Hao was here, if the Queen Mother pushed Nangong Hao to take the position, Nangong Hao would naturally listen to her, and she would not do this. But now that the third prince has replaced him, the Queen Mother cannot control him, so of course she will replace Huo Hao. The family chooses someone to enter the palace to maintain this relationship, otherwise you think you can easily get the position of the first wealthy family with just a merchant family." Nangong Yuanyi said calmly.
