[Liang Hanyue’s expression was a bit complicated and she sighed: Your Majesty, the appearance of your servant Pu Liu is hard to catch the eyes of the chief minister, so let’s let the engagement matter go...]
[Emperor Xuan: This matter is no longer as simple as a marriage! Zhou Zhenwen blatantly resisted and disobeyed the decree... If I didn't react at all, wouldn't everyone in the court think that I was afraid of him, Zhou Zhenwen? 】
[The emperor can be tolerant and compromise, but he cannot openly admit weakness. 】
[Especially since Emperor Xuan is the new emperor, he can laugh it off even if he disobeys the decree. The emperor's majesty will be gone. From now on, no one will listen to Emperor Xuan's words. 】
[Emperor Xuan: You don’t have to worry about this matter, I will handle it myself. 】
[In the afternoon of the same day, Emperor Xuan came to the Royal Garden where Marquis Yongwu lived. 】
[Hou Yongwu: I already know the matter. What does Your Majesty want to do with Zhou Zhenwen? 】
[Emperor Xuan: Marquis Yongwu, I hope you will come forward on my behalf, have a good talk with Zhou Zhenwen, and ask him to make some concessions and continue the marriage. 】
[Hou Yongwu: OK. 】
[ Emperor Xuan was a little uneasy, fearing that Marquis Yongwu would take action directly, and reminded: Marquis Yongwu, if Zhou Zhenwen insists on not wanting to do it, you don’t have to force him, and you must not take action. Zhou Zhenwen is a master of martial arts and has great strength. 】
[Marquis Yongwu was a little surprised. He could feel that Zhou Zhenwen was special, but how did Emperor Xuan know about it? 】
[Hou Yongwu: I understand. 】
"Letting Marquis Yongwu come forward may be the best choice."
Looking at the picture that appeared on the simulator, Empress Liang Zhao knew that this was the best choice.
She was the emperor, and there was no way she could go to Zhou Zhenwen, a minister, to submit. She couldn't say it, and she couldn't do it.
When others go, Zhou Zhenwen may not give them face.
Letting Yongwu Hou Liang Yong, who is the half-step grand master and the younger brother of the supreme emperor, come forward not only to save the emperor's face, but also to reflect the importance of the royal family.
Of course, it will also give other ministers a sense of guilt.
It's like killing three birds with one stone.
[Hou Yongwu: Scholar Zhou, you should know the purpose of my visit, right? 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: Marquis Yongwu is here to act as a lobbyist for His Majesty? 】
[Hou Yongwu: You have nothing to say, your majesty’s marriage is a favor, why should the great scholar of Zhou refuse? Besides... I have also met Liang Hanyue, she is a virtuous and virtuous girl, and she is a good girl! 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: Marquis Yongwu, I don’t want to be the prince consort... Please go back and persuade Your Majesty, Marquis Yongwu, to change his mind! 】
[Hou Yongwu: Thunder, rain, and dew are all your kindness. If Grand Scholar Zhou is stubborn, I can force you to accept it! 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: Are you sure you want to do something with me? 】
[Hou Yongwu: Your Majesty told me not to do anything to you, but I still want to test the true strength of Grand Scholar Zhou. 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: Okay, then please! 】
"How did it get to this point?" Empress Liang Zhao only felt that her scalp was numb. This matter could be big or small, but in any case it would not lead to a fight between the two, right?
No matter which one was injured or died, it was a huge loss to Dahuang.
"You must be careful when granting a marriage, and you must not arouse Zhou Zhenwen's boredom in any case..."
"This kind of blatant rejection must never appear in the real world!"
Empress Liang Zhao made up her mind that this matter must be dealt with slowly to prevent this outcome.
[After the fight, Marquis Yongwu announced that he would practice in seclusion. 】
[In this incident, the royal family was completely disgraced. Emperor Xuan's majesty was completely lost, and his prestige plummeted. 】
[The attitude of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty toward Emperor Xuan began to change, and the marriage of Princess Liang Hanyue of Changning County ended without any problems. 】
[Simulation ends. 】
Empress Liang Zhao's face looked a little unhappy, and she didn't expect that she would end up in this situation.
This is tantamount to superfluous and looking for trouble for yourself!
Even if Zhou Zhenwen really married the Xun family, it would not lead to this situation.
"The daughter of a royal family member, why did Zhou Zhenwen refuse?"
"I really don't understand!"
Empress Liang Zhao really felt a headache, even though Murong Wan, the daughter of the Jianghu, did not provoke such a strong resistance from Zhou Zhenwen.
"Is it really the Master who is in the Heavenly Realm that scared Zhou Zhenwen?"
Empress Liang Zhao herself felt a little ridiculous, how could it be possible?
Next, Empress Liang Zhao was determined to test the minister's daughter again.
The final result was that Zhou Zhenwen resisted the decree, and then Yongwuhou went there, and the two fought, causing Yongwuhou to retreat.
"It seems that eldest sister is indeed the most suitable candidate. Others are not suitable."
Empress Liang Zhao had to admit that the eldest princess Hua Zhen was indeed the best solution at present.
Empress Liang Zhao exited the simulator with a somewhat unsightly look on her face. After the subsequent two simulation results appeared, she felt that regarding Zhou Zhenwen's marriage, she could not forcefully oppress him in the form of a betrothal.
This can easily lead to Zhou Zhenwen’s rebellion! !
Once they break up, the situation will irreversibly advance to the step that Empress Liang Zhao least wants to see!
"It's better to figure it out slowly and arrange a meeting between the eldest princess and Zhou Zhenwen first!"
"With my eldest sister's appearance and temperament, maybe she can succeed naturally without my push."
"It is far better to let Miss Xun become a concubine than to leave directly..."
"Leaving the capital means uncertainty. She may figure it out at any time, pierce the window paper, return to the capital, and become a concubine. The royal family will always be at the mercy of the Xun family."
Empress Liang Zhao took a deep breath, calmed down her emotions, and already had a plan in mind.
"Your Majesty, the Dragon Guards are asking for an audience. Qingzhou is reporting!"
Outside the main hall, the eunuch's voice sounded.
Empress Liang Zhao's face changed slightly, she took the elixir from Tianjiyuan in her mouth, used a secret technique, transformed back into a man, put on her dragon robe, and ordered: "Come in."
"yes."
The eunuch dragged a secret letter with his hands and respectfully presented it to the empress Liang Zhao.
Empress Liang Zhao took the secret letter, tore open the envelope and read the contents.
[A large number of locusts appear in Qingzhou! 】
"Go down!" Empress Liang Zhao waved her hand, indicating that the eunuch could leave.
"Yes." The eunuch quickly exited the hall.
Empress Liang looked at the text above and murmured: "Locust plague..."
"I almost forgot that the original cause of the Qingzhou Incident was that the locust plague caused thousands of miles of red land and the people starved to death. Now, although Zhang Qi has been eliminated, the locust plague has not yet been resolved..."
"This matter must be dealt with as soon as possible to prevent the tragedy from happening again!"
Empress Liang Zhao knew the seriousness of the matter. The scene of the death of three million people was still vivid in her mind. She would never allow the tragedy to happen again.
Thinking of this, Empress Liang Zhao did not hesitate, put on her clothes, pushed out the main hall, and walked toward the imperial study room in the dark of night.
"Inform the cabinet's grand master that there will be a meeting in the imperial study room."
"Let the Minister of Industry and the Ministry of Household also attend..."
The eunuchs who heard the order did not dare to stay and hurriedly ran outside the palace to inform the above-mentioned people that there was a meeting in the imperial study room.
