Since the early Ming Dynasty, Silla has been a vassal of the Ming Dynasty. As a vassal state, it has always kept its status quo and paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty. It has never caused any trouble.
And now he is taking the initiative to apply for marriage proposal. To be honest, Zhu Gaotian really can't think of any reason to refuse this matter.
And it was mentioned in the letter that the three princesses of Silla were getting married together!
The attitude and process have been reduced to this. If you don't accept it anymore, you will slap me hard in the face.
"Your Majesty is famous for his heroic deeds, and his fame spreads all over the world. I think those princesses from Silla also heard about your majesty's heroic deeds, so they felt hopeful and planned to be with your majesty..."
"Yang Aiqing, you know that I really have no intention of having a harem now!"
Zhu Gaoyuan's face became embarrassed.
"If I had this intention, I would have married Deng Rong, who I brought here from western Sichuan!"
To be honest, due to his busy schedule during this period, Zhu Gaotian almost forgot to bring such a big living person back.
And since Deng Rong was brought back by Zhu Gaoyang, the entire court was very curious about her, but no one dared to go beyond her.
What a joke, this is a beauty brought back by His Majesty himself. If His Majesty is in a good mood and takes her away from him when he is happy, then Deng Rong will be his concubine in the future. If you dare to cuckold His Majesty, I am afraid that the entire nine tribes will be tired of living. Come on!
"Your Majesty, this marriage is not so easy to refuse. If your Majesty has a few brothers or sons, it would be okay, but now there is only one person in the entire direct royal family!"
The King of Han and so on, deserved to die, disappeared, and now Zhu Gaojing is still very young and has not conceived a son or daughter with the queen.
It can be said that he is the only one in the entire royal family now.
Silla already gave me face like this, but you, the boss, refused, which will inevitably cause Silla to be dissatisfied.
"I pushed it. No matter what, I can't agree to it!"
I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so what if I reject their princess’s proposal?
"But, Your Majesty, if this matter spreads out, other countries that have surrendered to my Ming Dynasty will probably have second thoughts!"
The speed at which Zhu Gaoyuan expanded his territory was obvious to all. The originally large nomadic people were forced to become homeless.
Can they not be afraid?
Their marriage this time was not only to express their surrender, but also to test Zhu Gaoyan's intentions. In ancient times, no one cared about how many concubines a man married, let alone the emperor who was the emperor.
Therefore, if the Ming Dynasty has no intention of invading them, then as an emperor, there is a high probability that he will agree to this matter.
But if this marriage is rejected, it is very likely that the Ming Dynasty is already planning their land and population.
The surrounding subordinate countries will become in danger, and may even unite with the coalition forces of the northern barbarians!
Yang Shiqi knew about doing something, and Zhu Gaojing also knew about his psychology.
"They can think whatever they want, but I won't agree to this!"
Zhu Gaotian puffed up his chest and stared at Yang Shiqi. This is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I have the final say on this matter!
"Well, since His Majesty insists on doing this, then this is the only way!"
"Your Majesty, I thought that Your Majesty should agree to this marriage!"
Good guy, Zhu Gaotian turned around and found that Zhang Yingzhen had walked into the imperial study room at some point!
Who informed the queen? Besides Yang Shiqi, who else could this person be?
You two have already planned this, right?
"My beloved concubine, didn't I tell you before? Before next year, I won't know how to..."
"Shh!"
Zhu Gaotian wanted to say something else, but Zhang Yingzhen stopped him.
"I know what your Majesty wants to say, but I am not a fool. Does your Majesty plan to use large-scale troops against the surrounding areas in one year?"
When asked this way, Zhu Gaoying nodded. Apparently, Zhang Yingzhen had seen through his little thoughts.
"After one year, will His Majesty refuse my concubine's request to expand your harem because he is busy with war affairs?"
"My dear concubine, I do what I say, and it is definitely not what you think!"
Zhu Gaotian wanted to continue to defend, but Zhang Yingzhen shook her head and expressed disbelief.
"Since Your Majesty is interested in having a concubine, why doesn't Silla accept the proposal of marriage now?"
"What's more, Your Majesty should also know what is behind Silla's coming to marry Your Majesty this time!"
Zhu Gaotian wanted to interject, but Zhang Yingzhen did not give him this chance.
"I remember that His Majesty once gave me the right to participate in political affairs, and this marriage matter naturally includes mid-term!"
"I can't take care of government affairs, the military, or finances, but it's time for me to take charge of diplomatic matters!"
Zhang Yingzhen has been tough for a rare time, and I have to say that now, she really seems to have the demeanor of a queen.
"So this matter will be decided by my concubine. Yang Shiqi, hurry up and give Silla a receipt and say that I, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, agreed to this marriage!"
"The humble minister Yang Shiqi accepted the order and drafted the document now!"
As Yang Shiqi spoke, he looked at Zhu Gaoying out of the corner of his eye.
I found that the emperor was not angry or angry at all, but just a little helpless and relieved.
"That's all, it's rare for my concubine to be the master, so let's do what my concubine wants in this matter!"
Done!
Zhang Yingzhen was secretly happy, and Yang Shiqi was also happy.
"I'm really tired. You all should step aside. I'll go check out the memorial here first. After the approval is completed, I'll go back to the harem to rest!"
Alas, these two people!
Forget it, they are also thinking about me, so I won’t embarrass them and just follow their wishes.
Until the end, Zhu Gaoyan also saw it.
At this period in history, Silla did not have any compatibility with the Ming Dynasty, but it happened to him not long after he took the throne. How could he not make Zhu Gaoyan suspicious?
Moreover, although the handwriting on this booklet was deliberately vilified and distorted by the person who wrote it, making it look like it was written by a layman, Zhu Gaotian couldn't be more familiar with this beautiful handwriting!
These are clearly the words written by Queen Zhang Yingzhen!
Coupled with the successful expressions on their faces at the end, even a fool can understand what is going on.
It was clear that Zhang Yingzhen and Yang Shiqi jointly wrote a fake memorial, and then pretended that Silla and Ming Dynasty were getting married.
Then move it with emotion and understand it with reason.
"Forget it, just agree, and let them be happy so that they don't have to worry about me anymore because of this matter!" (End of Chapter)
