On the 29th of the first lunar month, Gu Qingjue escorted Princess Protector to Kyoto safely.
Gu Qingjue's mission was successfully completed.
Gu Qingjue was not going to rest, and was about to let Hei He take him back to Guangdong and Guangxi quickly, but Zhao Zhen stayed behind.
"Zi Yuan, who do you think this Dali princess is suitable to marry?"
It's impossible for the prince.
But His Majesty has many cousins.
Some of them don’t have a concubine yet, and some have a concubine who has passed away.
Anyway, there are a lot of choices.
But it's really hard to decide which one to marry this foreign princess.
Zhao Zhen said: "Zi Yuan, what do you think about letting Zhao Zongshi marry Princess Protector?"
Yixin talked about Zhao Zongshi emphatically with him.
If His Majesty has no heirs, he is the most likely descendant of the clan to inherit the throne.
But now His Majesty has the fourth and fifth princes.
Although they are only two years old, these two princes do not seem to be called imperial doctors except for their monthly Ping'an pulse.
In other words, the body is very good.
This is very different from the previous three princes who died young.
The other clan members saw their hopes of becoming princes dashed. If they didn't want to be jealous of the emperor, they had to keep their heads down.
And marrying a foreign princess is the most reassuring thing for His Majesty.
So knowing that a princess in Dali was coming to get married, Zhao Zhen's desk was filled with papers asking for marriage every day.
I just didn’t expect that His Majesty would choose Zhao Zongshi after many rounds of selection.
Yixin said that if there were no accidents, Zhao Zongshi should have married Empress Cao's niece Gao Taotao in the seventh year of Qingli.
But until now, Zhao Zongshi, who is twenty years old, is still not married.
He is interested in Gao Taotao.
But the queen refused to let go, and their marriage was delayed.
Gu Qingjue asked: "I wonder if he is included in the request for marriage this time?"
Zhao Zhen shook his head: "No. As my cousin, I went to the Gao family three times to propose marriage, but was rejected by the Gao family every time. I know what the queen meant. I can't understand why the queen doesn't agree to their marriage."
It stands to reason that these two queens have taught them, and they should be happy to see them become a perfect match.
Gu Qingjue guessed that it was related to the easing of the relationship between him and His Majesty.
In the seventh year of Qingli, the relationship between the emperor and the empress was not so tense.
At that time, His Majesty and the Queen must have suspected that the Queen was being used as a contraceptive measure, which further deepened the relationship between the Emperor and the Queen.
In the end, it was found that someone had indeed tampered with her.
This person is Zhao Yunliang.
So at that time, the queen was already making plans. If she could give birth to a prince, Gao Taotao would not be able to marry Zhao Zongshi.
The reason is simple.
The Gao family is an in-law of the Cao family.
The Cao family has been feared by the emperor. If she gives birth to a prince, she will be the legitimate prince and the most qualified to inherit the throne.
If Gao Taotao marries Zhao Zongshi, the ministers who support Zhao Zongshi's lineage will definitely fall in love with her son.
It is a good thing for foreigners to be powerful, but if a foreign family is too powerful, it will also be feared by the officials.
She has been treated coldly in the harem for so many years, and she is well aware of this truth.
That's why I never let go.
When she finally gave birth to the fifth prince two years ago, she would not agree.
Gu Qingjue felt that His Majesty must have thought of it, but he would not analyze such a matter to his ministers.
When they went to court the next day, the court officials thought that His Majesty would discuss the marriage between the two countries with them, but they did not expect that His Majesty would directly issue an order.
He named Zhao Zongshi the King of Qi and married Princess Dali Huguo to Zhao Zongshi as the principal concubine and Gao Taotao as the side concubine. The marriage was completed a month later.
This bad operation, not to mention causing an explosion in the court and harem, is almost the same.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must not do this!"
"My mind has been made."
Fan Zhongyan said: "Your Majesty, the right guard general is both civil and military, resourceful and resourceful. He will definitely be a capable minister in safeguarding the country in the future. It is really inappropriate to marry a princess from another country."
To put it nicely, she is a princess.
Everyone knew that this princess was probably a fake.
Why didn't the Song Dynasty take the initiative to attack Dali for a long time? Is it because it couldn't defeat it?
If you really want to fight, you can definitely beat it.
But that was why Dali was located in the southwest of the Song Dynasty for so many years.
In addition to being constantly harassed by Xixia, there is another important reason for looking down upon it.
In the small and hot areas, poisonous insects and ferocious beasts are everywhere.
After defeating the enemy, a guard general must be sent to guard it.
At that time, the Song Dynasty really had no such intention and wanted this barbarian land for them.
The entire Song Dynasty had this attitude.
She must not like the Princess Protector who came to marry her.
When Fan Zhongyan said this, the officials who escorted the Princess Protector were still there!
Are you happy to hear this?
Then there was a quarrel in the court.
It is said that the Song Dynasty thinks highly of itself. They are just for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries, not because they are afraid of the Song Dynasty.
He was in a low official position and could not speak. The old god put his hands in his sleeves to keep warm and watched the excitement.
There are two groups of people who can talk.
Most of the people who agreed with Zhao Zongshi to marry Princess Dali were optimistic about Renming Palace.
Most of those who disagreed supported the Queen of the Middle Palace.
Naturally, there are a few who fish in troubled waters.
When the ministers and Dali envoys were quarreling and their mouths were dry, Zhao Zhen said calmly: "This matter is settled!"
HD sea is very satisfying.
At least this clan member is promising.
Now that he is named King of Qi, the princess will become Princess Qi when she gets married.
His Majesty's attitude is so tough, it's hard for them to say anything else!
Everyone had just recovered from this incident, and His Majesty then issued a marriage edict to marry the fourteen-year-old Princess Fukang to Han Dun, the second son of Han Qi's second brother Han Ju.
The genes of the Han family are pretty good. Han Dun is handsome, but very quiet and likes reading. He is also the second son of the family, so Princess Shang is the most suitable one.
This time the courtiers exploded again.
Han Ju’s second son?
Why?
As for Han Zhongyan, the eldest son betrothed to Han Qi, that's all because of Han Qi's current status.
Han Ju is still the fourth-rank minister of Taichang Temple.
His second son never even took part in the imperial examination.
Why can I be a princess?
In the court, there are many good sons and gentlemen with great reputations, but why can't they be the children of their own clan?
If you don’t accept it, you just don’t accept it!
Yan Shu's son-in-law Yang Cha almost shouted to remind his father-in-law to fight for his brothers-in-law.
But my father-in-law stood there motionless.
All we can do is be anxious.
After the court was over, Yang Cha pulled Fu Bi and ran after Yan Shu out of the palace gate.
"Father-in-law, please wait a minute."
It was a cold day, and Yang Cha was sweating all over. Seeing Fu Bi's reluctance, he still pushed him into the carriage.
Fu Bi said: "Brother-in-law, this is at the gate of the palace. If your Majesty finds out, what will you think?"
"Brother-in-law, you are too cautious, to the point of being unkind. The three of us are our father-in-law's sons-in-law. We are going back to our father-in-law's house in a carriage together. What's so shameful about it?"
