Dayan Palace, inside the Zichen Hall.
Murong Fu stayed up all night yesterday to sort out the political affairs of the past few months. After finding that there were no flaws or mistakes, he praised the abilities of Xiao Qi and Wang Yuyan.
Although according to the law, the inner court is not allowed to interfere in politics, but these are extraordinary times, so it is natural to do extraordinary things. Murong Fu trusted the two women, and they did not disappoint him.
In the court room.
After listening to the ministers report on the country's people's livelihood achievements, military expenditures, and tax expenditures in the past few months, Murong Fu improved the shortcomings and put forward his own opinions for discussion with the ministers.
It took more than an hour before everything was finalized, and then the Persian envoys were summoned.
According to the previously discussed submission, King Changsheng proposed a strategy for establishing communication and trade between Persia and Dayan.
Murong Fu asked the officials for their opinions, and everyone showed joy on their faces. They felt that this would be of great benefit to Dayan without any harm. In addition, the Persian king's submission was sincere and courteous. It was obvious that it was With full sincerity, is there any reason to turn him away? ?.?????.???
As a result, almost all officials unanimously approved the case and handed it over to the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple to discuss the details.
As for the two saints from the Ming Sect, they were also given to Murong Fu on the grounds of marriage.
Murong Fu did not include them in the harem, but first arranged them in the Sifang Pavilion, and ordered to recall Zhu Dunru and Chen Yuyi.
Nowadays, Zhu Dunru is still serving as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, but he is away on official business and has been staying in Xizhou. Together with Chen Yuyi, a minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he assists Zhao Ding, the shepherd of Xizhou, to govern the people of Xizhou.
Now Xizhou is the top priority of the entire Dayan. Not only is the territory vast, but agricultural production and development are also on the right track. It can be said to be Dayan’s most important place and the largest economic source. It seems to be catching up with Yanbei. .
Murong Fu suddenly recalled Zhu and Chen this time, which also left the officials confused.
Within two days, the two of them rode fast horses back to Dragon City.
The Royal Palace, inside the Hall of Valor.
The two people came to see each other.
Compared to Chen Yuyi, who was a little out-of-the-box at the beginning, this young man's face is now a bit more steady. It is obvious that he has seen the suffering in the world before he realizes how difficult it is to govern officials and how difficult it is for the people.
Just when the two of them were worried and wondering why His Majesty summoned them back to the capital, Murong Fu looked at them with a kind face, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and asked with a smile, "My dear friends, do you want a wife or not?"
The two of them raised their heads to look at His Majesty in shock, but soon lowered their heads in fear, their expressions changing, and they didn't know what they meant.
Chen Yuyi arched his arm over Zhu Dunru, signaling the elder brother to speak.
Zhu Dunru coughed twice and asked, "What do you mean, Your Majesty? I'm sorry that I don't know."
Murong Fu said, "I just want to grant you two a marriage. I wonder what you two want?"
He remembered that both of them were unmarried, and the two saints from the Ming Cult were useless in his hands. It was more meaningful to win people's hearts than to abandon them or to include them in his harem.
So when he was far away in Persia, he thought of these two young talents and ministers in the court.
Seeing the two of them looking at each other, somewhat at a loss, Murong Fu smiled and asked them to lie flat on their backs, and ordered them to sit down and watch tea.
The two of them took a sip of the strong tea to moisten their mouths. The bitterness of the tea also made them sober a little. They knew that the person who could allow His Majesty to grant a marriage was obviously of extraordinary origin.
As expected, Murong Fu said the next moment, "The women I gave you to marry are somewhat different. They are not Han Chinese from the Central Plains, but Hu women from the Persian Kingdom in the Western Regions. However, I have inspected them for you two. This woman is first-rate in terms of appearance and talent, plus she has some status in Persia, so I really can’t neglect them, so I thought of my two beloved ladies.”
"The two beloved ministers are my loyal ministers of Dayan. It just so happens that Dayan will soon establish communications with the Persian state. If the two beloved ministers marry these two women, they will be regarded as making a contribution to my Dayan. Contributed.”
"But don't worry, my dear friends, they are barbarian women after all. You two can freely choose whether to marry or take concubines. I will never interfere with this. I am just giving an explanation to the King of Persia."
After all, he was also worried that the two of them would be resistant to foreign women from foreign countries. Even though he was the emperor, he could not force them to marry the two girls as their wives, which would create a quarrel in the future.
Zhu and Chen did have some resistance at first, but thinking of the marriage granted by His Majesty, they really did not dare to take the two Hu women as concubines. However, after hearing the Emperor say that they could choose freely, their concerns were alleviated a bit. point.
They have always been attracted to the Han family, and they also like the appearance of women from the Central Plains. His Majesty offered marriage, and there was absolutely no reason to refuse it. However, it was difficult for them to accept the marriage as their official wife.
Thinking of this, the two of them looked at each other, stood up and worshiped, "I wait, but it is up to Your Majesty to make the decision. I will thank you for your kindness!"
Murong Fu smiled and said, "That's great!"
"You two, come out!"
While talking, two graceful and charming Hu women walked out from behind the screen. They were covered in light clothes and gauze. They had delicate and picturesque faces, three-dimensional facial features, white skin, and a faint blue rhyme in their eyes. They were beautiful. Yes, but it is rare to see a woman who is as beautiful as a painting and has a strong exotic style.
In addition, the two girls, one in a red shirt and the other in a purple shirt, complement each other. The sun shines on their snow-white skin, giving off a faint halo, making them as holy as fairies on the snow-capped mountains.
Zhu Dunru and Chen Yuyi just took a look at it secretly and could no longer look away.
Have the two of them ever seen such a stunning beauty?
Coupled with the fact that he was still in his prime of life, when he saw the beauty of the two girls, his whole body suddenly froze.
The two saints of the Persian Ming Cult were not as shy as the Han women. They looked at the two of them very generously. They saw that although they were not as handsome and elegant as Murong Fu, they were still talented people, and they were somewhat satisfied. of.
Moreover, Murong Fu had assured them that both of them were his close ministers and would surely be high and powerful in the future, befitting their status.
"Ahem!"
Murong Fu coughed twice, bringing their stupid eyes back to reality.
Zhu Dunru and Chen Yuyi's faces turned red and they lowered their heads in embarrassment, their eyes filled with infinite joy.
Even when they came back to their senses at this moment, they still couldn't believe that the emperor would give them such a beautiful woman in marriage. Their original intention of marrying these two barbarian women as concubines suddenly faded a lot.
They all thought that if these two women were truly virtuous and kind, it would not be impossible for them to be legitimate wives.
The woman in the red shirt was older and was married to Zhu Dunru by Murong Fu, while the woman in the purple shirt was younger and was married to the younger Chen Yuyi.
Although the two of them wanted to stay calm and accept the emperor's favor without being arrogant or arrogant, they couldn't suppress the smiles on their lips, and their faces almost twitched.
