Li Qinzai sobered up, his expression was rarely awkward, and then he felt a little ashamed and angry.
Everyone is having a good drink, why did you call your daughter out?
Yes, I do need a princess when drinking and having fun, but not a real princess...
There is a saying that the eldest brother Zhong is really generous. He actually dedicated his daughters to drinking and having fun. Li Qinzai took a casual look and found that among the many daughters, there were actually a few under ten years old...
Li Qinzai was deeply moved by Brother Zhong's hospitality. He patted Brother Zhong on the shoulder and sighed: "You are a good person, but... it still doesn't matter. You have already given me a daughter. I will give you the other daughters." Don't waste it, otherwise it will be too rude."
Brother Zhong opened his eyes wide in astonishment and said: "What a waste, what disrespect... Your Excellency Mr. Li County, the vassal minister wants you to see which of my daughters has the appearance of the next generation of Japanese kings, please ask Mr. Li County If you choose, the vassal will make her the crown prince."
Li Qinzai was stunned: "Huh? So that's what you meant..."
Brother Zhong looked at him innocently: "What do you think it means?"
Li Qinzai rubbed his face: "Nothing... Can your Japanese country allow a woman to be its leader?"
Brother Zhongda was stunned: "Of course it can, and there have been many female kings in the history of Japan. The vassal's mother is the previous generation Emperor Kogi. Originally, the vassal's favored next-generation king was Hatano Sanryo, but later it was not given to you. Yet?"
"The remaining daughters have been educated by the royal family for many years, but they are barely qualified to be crown princes. I ask Mr. Li to choose one from them."
Li Qinzai suddenly realized that the customs of the Japanese country were different from those of the Tang Dynasty. There was no distinction between men and women in the selection of the country's leader. Moreover, in the history of the Japanese country, many royal princesses did become heads of the country.
Including Tono Sanryo, if Li Qinzai had not appeared, she might have been the "Emperor Jitong" in the history books. Among the many daughters and granddaughters of Nakadai brother, there were Emperor Genmei, Emperor Gensho, etc. in history. All are women.
So tonight, when the eldest brother called out all the daughters, he actually wanted to ask Li Qinzai to choose one of them to be the next generation leader of the Japanese kingdom.
Since she was not the kind of princess who ordered songs and toasted, Li Qinzai instantly lost interest.
Who is the next generation leader of the Japanese country, and what does it have to do with him? Besides, is this something Li Qinzai could choose? He was just a minister of the Tang Dynasty. This was something that Li Zhi was qualified to do. How could Li Qinzai dare to overstep his bounds?
Seeing that Li Qinzai was not in a good mood, the eldest brother waved his hand and ordered his daughters to leave, and then asked in a low voice if he wanted to call his sons to the hall as well.
Li Qinzai shook his head and said with a smile: "No, let's drink and have fun today. Don't talk about state affairs."
Seeing Li Qinzai's lack of interest, Brother Zhong's heart tightened.
Could it be that the sect master Shangguo doesn’t approve of his children? Could it be that the Tang Dynasty planned to choose another prince from a branch of the royal family?
What should I do? How can royal orthodoxy be left behind?
The banquet continued, but Brother Zhong was obviously a little distracted.
Li Qinzai was getting drunker and glanced at him sideways and said: "Your Highness, you should pay more attention to your throne. Outside the capital, the whole country is full of separatist forces. Are you still in the mood to choose a prince? You are sincere. Big."
Brother Zhong smiled bitterly. Of course he knew that there were separatist forces everywhere outside, so he was anxious to ask Li Qinzai to choose a prince for him tonight.
Li Qinzai represents the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. No matter who he chooses as the crown prince, he represents the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
The crown prince has been selected. The lineage of Zhongdaxiong is the orthodoxy of the Japanese royal family. Does he still need to worry about the separatist forces outside? Naturally, the King of the Tang Dynasty helped his orthodoxy to eliminate rebellion.
However, the rhythm seemed to be a bit messed up tonight. Li Qinzai did not follow his ideas, and the matter of selecting the crown prince was not settled.
…………
Tonight was peaceful and pleasant. Late at night, the guests and hosts had a good time. Li Qinzai said goodbye and left the palace to return to the camp.
The next morning, Kono Sanliang appeared outside the palace gate.
At the banquet last night, the eldest brother begged Li Qinzai to allow them to see their father and daughter. Li Qinzai was not an unreasonable person, so he agreed immediately.
Standing outside the palace gate, Kono Sanliang felt lost and sad.
It was obvious that she had been one of the owners of this palace, but after several years of wandering and living under the shelter of others, when she returned to her homeland, it felt like she had been in another world. Standing outside the palace, she only felt that she had become an insignificant guest.
Life is like a drifting tree, drifting with the tide. There are no roots to tie to or branches to rely on in the world.
She seems to have no home.
Thinking of this, Sanliang Kono couldn't help but burst into tears.
An hour later, Kono Sanliang appeared in the palace of the eldest brother.
When father and daughter met, they burst into tears. Sanliang Tono burst into tears from the bottom of his heart. Only he knew whether the eldest brother's crying was true or false.
After a long time, the father and daughter held back their tears, calmed down their emotions, and chatted a few more commonplace gossips.
"His Royal Highness, the Fifth Young Master... is also the Duke of Li County. He has just come to the Japanese country and has the emperor's mandate. He also asked his father to restrain his subjects and not to conflict with him and anger him. My father must have seen that Li County He killed more than a hundred people as soon as he arrived, and he clearly came here to establish his authority." Sanliang Tono persuaded softly.
Brother Zhong's face was full of bitterness and he sighed: "Of course I know that he is trying to establish his authority, but the Tang army is so powerful that it marches across the four islands and is invincible. If County Duke Li wants to kill someone, what can I do?"
Zangye Zanliang said unceremoniously: "The man named Ojiang Zhi the night before should not have come forward. The official Wei Zhengchou of Li County could not find an excuse. Once Ojiang Zhi died, Datang had an excuse to kill people. Father Why would the king do such an unpleasant thing?"
Brother Zhong was shocked and said angrily: "Do you even think that I was the one instigating Ojiang Zhi behind your back?"
Kouno Zanliang said calmly: "Returning power to the king, isn't it exactly what the father wants?"
Brother Zhong gritted his teeth and said in a more serious tone: "You are my biological daughter. Others can doubt me, but you cannot. This matter was not authorized by me!"
Kono Sanliang glanced at him in surprise, then quickly lowered his head and sighed: "It's not important anymore."
Brother Zhong was dejected, yes, it doesn't matter anymore. The authority that should be established has been established, and the people who should be killed have been killed. Now in the whole country, who doesn't know that the Tang army is ferocious and fierce, and who doesn't fear the fierce god?
The effect Li Qinzai needed to achieve has been achieved.
After a long silence, the eldest brother suddenly asked: "I saw that you were still a virgin when you entered the palace. You have served County Duke Li for several years, has he never touched you?"
Kono Sanliang's cheeks suddenly turned red with embarrassment and anger, he lowered his head and pursed his lips without saying a word.
Silence is acquiescence. After the eldest brother was shocked, he couldn't help but slap his legs and sighed: "You,... you are so disappointing! Why did you give you to Mr. Li in the first place? Do you really want to make a bed next to him?" A servant who brings water to serve you?"
Kono Sanliang's tone became colder: "Since my father has given me to him, whether I am a maid or a concubine, what does it have to do with you?"
Brother Zhong shook his head and sighed: "It didn't matter before, but now, it does matter."
"Daughter, you must completely become his woman, and more importantly, give birth to children for him!"
