After Wang Su finished speaking, he knelt there and secretly glanced at King Xuan's face again.
What he said before was very straightforward.
After all, King Xuan is still a girl, so his face will inevitably turn red.
But there was a storm in her heart. After trying to calm down, she said quietly: "But Xiangguo and others..."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Wang Su understood her concerns and said sternly: "Although the courtiers are opposed to this matter, Your Majesty holds military and political power. As long as you have a firm attitude and fight against all opinions, no one can stop it. In addition, in order to prevent accidents, , you can also settle for the next best thing.”
"What do you mean?" King Xuan asked.
Wang Su explained: "Get engaged first. As long as this step is taken, everything else will fall into place, and this step will not encounter much resistance."
After hearing this, King Xuan narrowed his beautiful eyes slightly, thinking of his future plans, a faint light flashed in his eyes.
Early morning the next day.
"I will see you, Your Majesty. I will be king for ten thousand years——"
The ministers knelt down and worshiped. King Xuan stretched out his hands slightly and said in a calm voice: "All ministers, please stand down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty——" People shouted again.
When everyone was behind the train, she got straight to the point: "Today's meeting at court, I have something to announce to all my dear friends."
When the ministers heard this, they all looked at each other, feeling a little nervous.
King Xuan glanced around for a week and continued: "As for the marriage between Qin Xuan, it is my King's will to be engaged to Brother Qin in the near future."
What! ?
Hearing this, many people were shocked and started whispering among themselves. In just a moment, the hall became chaotic.
Amidst the noise, Prime Minister Yao Tingyu was the first to stand up. First he bowed his hands and bowed to King Xuan, and then said with a stern face: "With these words, Your Majesty, have you ever thought about where to place Xuanguo? If Your Majesty, By marrying the King of Qin, doesn’t it mean that the entire Xuan Kingdom will be handed over to others!”
His expression is solemn, but he is the prime minister and is loyal. He is naturally worried about the country, and his concerns are understandable.
King Xuan was not angry either. He looked at him and said quietly: "Prime Minister, please be patient. I will never dare to harm the country of Xuan with personal matters."
At this time, the chaos in the hall had already calmed down, and hearing what King Xuan said, Yao Tingyu finally calmed down.
Then, Fu Qingyi, the Minister of Xuanguo, said: "Your Majesty, what the Prime Minister said makes sense. The King of Qin is really the king of tigers and wolves. Now he is asking for marriage with a letter of state. It is actually an act of annexation. My king must not ignore it."
Then another minister said: "I agree with you. Your Majesty has always been a sage and a man of extraordinary intelligence. Today, four of the Nine Kingdoms have been conquered. Our country's previous strategy of allying with Qin and controlling Wu and Chu has been achieved. Now we don't need to pay attention to the King of Qin anymore. See, maybe we can turn to the alliance spirit to make our country in an invincible position."
"I second the proposal. It is unprecedented for a monarch to get married. I do not agree."
In the main hall, in just a moment, a large group of people had already appeared. People were talking and criticizing, and their opposition was the same as before.
Seeing this, King Xuan took a deep breath and sighed secretly in his heart. He was about to say something. At this moment, Wang Su stood up, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I agree with the king's engagement."
Almost everyone objected, but when he came out and said such a sentence, there was no doubt that all the ministers looked over at once, and Yao Tingyu even frowned and shouted: "Master Wang!"
Wang Su took his time and smiled at him, saying: "Don't worry, Prime Minister. The king just said that it was just an engagement, so why should everyone be nervous."
"But this!" Yao Tingyu wanted to argue, but Wang Su had already followed closely: "The State of Qin submitted its credentials twice, and the third time, the King of Qin came in person. If our country refuses directly, it is conceivable that It will definitely anger King Qin."
"After all, the other party is the king of a country. If he can't keep it on his face, wouldn't he become angry and angry? If he becomes so angry that he turns his allies and joins forces with Wu and Chu to use troops against our country, then the situation will not be good."
"You know, since the last time our country declared war on other countries, Wu Chuling has held a grudge against us. If we offend King Qin again, the consequences will be disastrous."
His words were purely alarmist, but in the ears of the ministers, they had to think deeply. Yao Tingyu also frowned and did not speak for a long time.
Wang Su continued: "My king, with his foresight and foresight, has made it very clear what he said just now. He intends to agree to the engagement with King Qin first. It is just a formality. As for whether the two kings will get married and when they will get married, it is not our country that has the final say. "
"Hey, that makes sense. It will intensify the matter. We should deal with the King of Qin first and deal with the matter..." After he finished speaking, a minister couldn't help but say something.
Another person said: "This is the best policy. No matter what, the King of Qin has come in person, so sternly rejecting it will indeed cause conflicts between the two countries..."
Seeing the ministers whispering and discussing with each other, King Xuan glanced at the people calmly.
Wang Su continued to look at Yao Tingyu and said, "What do you think, Prime Minister?"
"This..." Yao Tingyu couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Seeing this, King Xuan said decisively: "The matter has come to an end, let's leave it like this for now. I have made up my mind. No need for you to say anything more, please withdraw from the court."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and left the throne.
Seeing this, all the ministers first bowed respectfully, and then looked at each other.
While people were leaving the hall in twos and threes, they were invariably whispering to each other. Yao Tingyu also pulled Wang Su, worried and said: "Master Wang, this matter is very important, so it is better to be cautious."
"What we discussed today is the best way at the moment. Prime Minister, rest assured." Wang Su consoled him: "We will deal with the King of Qin first when we get engaged, and we can use this time to make peace with the other countries again. By then, everything will be settled. "
"Well, I hope so." Yao Tingyu nodded with a sad face.
After the dynasty was over, all the ministers left the palace and returned to their mansions. Wang Su also went to the palace study again to ask for an audience with King Xuan.
King Xuan valued this adviser very much. If it weren't for his advice, King Xuan would have the same idea as Yao Tingyu. Otherwise, she would not have the intention to abdicate for Xiao Yuan.
But now, she already had deeper thoughts in her mind.
After the monarch and his ministers met, she also asked directly: "Does Brother Wang know about the engagement?"
"I have sent someone to inform His Highness the King of Qin." Wang Su returned.
"Yes." King Xuan nodded, but there was still a flash of worry in his eyes. During this period of time, she was obviously full of thoughts and was silent a lot.
After a pause, he said in a calm voice: "Pass an order to the Qing Yi Guards, instructing Yang Zhao to protect the safety of his seventh brother."
"What the king means is..." Wang Su was shocked.
King Xuan said: "Seventh brother is young and not yet sensible, but I am worried that he will be used by people with ulterior motives."
"I understand, let's do it now." Wang Su became serious.
