Chen Ajiao took the book Bai Sheng gave her and quickly said goodbye, and took her things to Weiyang Palace to find Liu Che.
There's no embarrassment at all.
He truthfully repeated what Bai Sheng had just said.
"Does the Imperial Grandmother mean that all she did was to force me to make those soldiers who died in battle the objects of national sacrifice?
She...is her illness not cured?
She might as well just get involved in politics..."
Emperor Jianyuan really felt at this time that it was difficult to understand the thoughts and ideas of his imperial grandmother. She obviously wanted to do something in politics, but she didn't directly interfere in politics.
Then you have to figure out her thoughts yourself.
Fortunately, his vocabulary is not developed now. If his vocabulary was developed, he might be scolding him for being a coward in his heart.
"Then I'll go tell the Imperial Grandmother for you?"
Chen Ajiao rolled her eyes at him and deliberately teased him.
Emperor Jianyuan curled his lips and responded helplessly:
"There is no need to be so attentive. If anything happens later, I will tell the imperial grandmother directly to save her from looking down on me. Tell me what exactly you want."
If you ask someone else to do something, you will definitely not let others do it in vain. The emperor is still short of hungry soldiers, so when he asked Chen Ajiao to be the intermediary, Emperor Jianyuan promised to promise Chen Ajiao something, something that was not too much.
"What do you think about granting marriage to Wei Qing and me?"
Chen Ajiao was not polite and immediately put forward her idea. She had no choice but to do so. There were too few men she could like near Chang'an. Those who fell in love with her and dared to marry her were even fewer. In other words, they were almost zero. The probability was only It would be easier if Liu Che personally granted the marriage.
And if she remarries, it is obviously impossible to find someone who is more powerful than her ex-husband. Her ability is hard to say, but it is definitely impossible to find someone with a more powerful identity and background than her ex-husband.
That can only lead to generals being chosen from among the dwarfs.
Pick someone with good abilities and good looks.
It's hard to say about the level of education, but Wei Qing does seem to be not only good-looking, but also very capable. He was the only one who won the battle against the four-pronged army.
Although the relationship between them is a little complicated, Chen Ajiao feels that she can accept it. Anyway, she can accept it.
It’s hard to say whether others can accept it.
No, Emperor Jianyuan's face turned purple when he heard this. He was so angry that his ex-wife actually told him that he wanted to marry the younger brother of his current woman, and even asked him to marry him. The complexity of this relationship is really difficult. Not to mention it is outrageous, but if it really happens, how should we call each other in the future? My cousin's ex-wife has become my current brother-in-law. No matter what level of relationship, it will be quite explosive!
"Do you think I'm too talkative?"
In the end, Emperor Jianyuan could only hold back this sentence. Obviously, he seemed unhappy.
"What if?
Why do you have so many women around me that I can only end up alone? Anyway, you can either give me and Wei Qing a marriage, or I can find some decent men.
It depends on which situation you can accept.
Anyway, the imperial grandmother said that if I meet her, she will definitely agree and be willing to escort me.
If Wei Qing's wife had not died in childbirth, I wouldn't have thought of this. After all, I can't do anything to let his wife become a concubine. But now Wei Qing's wife died in childbirth, leaving him alone. I don’t mind being a stepmother to my young children, and I don’t even mind marrying Wei Zifu’s younger brother.
I have to call her sister when I turn around.
What else are you dissatisfied with..."
After all, they had been husband and wife for several years, and their backers were still there, and she had not suffered any grievances after the divorce, so Chen Ajiao could be said to be confident at this time.
Offered ideas and threatened.
Emperor Jianyuan's face became even worse. At the same time, he was quite speechless. He couldn't tell for a moment whether it was more embarrassing for his ex-wife to marry Wei Qing, or whether it was more embarrassing for him to look at his ex-wife and look for someone to support her.
I always feel like it's a bit hard to tell the difference.
Either way it was embarrassing for him.
In the end, Emperor Jianyuan could only grit his teeth and said:
"Cousin, Wei Qing is the hero after all. I have no choice but to directly grant marriage to you two without his consent. Otherwise, I can go back and ask Wei Qing what he wants.
If he is willing, then I will..."
"If you hint that he doesn't agree, can he still agree? Forget it, I won't embarrass you. If Wei Qing can't do it, then you can just pick a prince who is about the same age as me and has good abilities. There is no boss in the family yet. I can reluctantly accept my mother’s offer of marriage.”
It looked like Gillian Chen had taken a step back.
Appropriate compromises were made.
But in fact, she still refused to retreat, because the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty could not find any princes who were similar in age to her and who did not have a mistress in the family. There are really no two conditions!
"But Wei Qing is not the same age as you. Compared with you, Wei Qing is almost ten years younger."
"You were younger than me back then!"
"You are married to Wei Qing. Wouldn't you feel embarrassed when you look back and see Wei Zifu? Wouldn't you be unable to bear it?"
"That's my business!
If that doesn't work, I'll ask the royal grandmother to grant the marriage! "
"Then...okay..."
After some debate and weighing the pros and cons, Emperor Jianyuan finally felt that instead of being passive and embarrassed, it would be better to take the initiative to lose face and gain a good reputation, and by the way, encourage the widow to remarry or something.
Oh, no, it was a divorced woman who remarried.
After all, he, the emperor's former empress, can marry again, so what right do other families have to hinder a second marriage!
The next day, Emperor Jianyuan admitted at the court meeting that he had not thought carefully and that it was the imperial grandmother's foresight. Then he announced that all those who died in foreign wars would be included in the scope of national sacrifices and would be uniformly sacrificed by the state.
This is actually okay, no one has any objections, and everyone even takes it for granted and has expected it.
Followed by a decree granting marriage.
It was a shock to the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty.
In other words, it not only shocked the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, but even Bai Sheng, who received the news belatedly, was a little confused for a while, and even asked in disbelief:
"What did you say? Say it again..."
"Giving marriage to whom?"
"The Empress Dowager, Your Majesty has decreed that Princess Yujiao and the Marquis of Guannei, Wei Qing, be married. The marriage will be completed in three months."
The person responsible for delivering the news recounted it truthfully.
Now Bai Sheng was a little stunned. She really didn't know about this. Chen Ajiao had never shown any admiration for Wei Qing before. It was too sudden.
After a moment of silence, Bai Sheng suddenly asked again:
"What was Gillian's expression when she left Weiyang Palace yesterday? Was she happy, depressed, or some other expression?"
"You should be happy, your face is beaming!"
The valet replied immediately.
