Tonight, the Earl's Mansion is destined to be a sleepless night. Pingyuan Bo Anyuanshan was pacing back and forth in the hall, and sighs could be heard in the room from time to time. Once the Holy Spirit summons him tomorrow, everything will be irreversible. It will probably be even more difficult for him to see his daughter again in the future. Anyuanshan couldn't help but shed a few tears after thinking about it.
This scene was seen by his daughter An Jingruo outside the door. When An Yuanshan found his daughter standing outside the door, he quickly turned his back, secretly wiped a few tears from the corners of his eyes, then turned around and asked his daughter with a smile: "How are you, my dear daughter? What did Mr. Lu say?"
Jing Jingruo lowered his head and said with a half-smile, "Dad, my daughter has thought about it!"
"What have you thought about?"
"Maybe this is life!"
Anyuanshan sighed and shook his head, "My dear, why are you starting to say these depressing words? This is not like your previous character."
Jing Jingruo lowered his eyebrows with a slight disappointment on his face, "My daughter knows that he has his own difficulties. I don't want to be a burden to him. Maybe marrying far away is the best way for him!"
"Hey..." Anyuanshan sighed, "You are destined to be destined to be together!"
"Dad, do you still remember the letter that uncle asked him to send to me?" Jing Jingruo's eyes were red, and a tear was about to fall from the corner of his eyes at any time.
"That's right! Dad hasn't heard from you yet, so what did uncle tell you in the letter?"
Before An Jingruo could speak, the tears were already falling. An Yuanshan couldn't help but feel sorry for his daughter. After sighing, he held her daughter in his arms and said comfortingly: "Daughter, don't cry! Dad is still here..."
"Uncle said in the letter..." Jing Jingruo started sobbing again as she spoke.
"What did you say?"
"Uncle said that in order to stand up, he would not hesitate to take medicine, but that kind of treatment is very effective and has extremely strong side effects. Over time, it may cause..." Jing Jingruo choked again after saying this.
"Hey... everyone has his or her own destiny. My daughter, you don't have to feel too bad!" An Yuanshan patted his daughter on the shoulder kindly and comforted her.
Jing Jingruo slowly stopped crying, "Uncle said he can only live for three years at most..."
Anyuanshan was also puzzled. Why did Lu Zuo get involved in court disputes at the expense of his own life in order to realize his ambition? But what can be accomplished in just three years? An Yuanshan then thought about his daughter, and felt that it was not possible. If his daughter really married a Yi Di, how could she live up to her ancestors? So he gritted his teeth and said, "My daughter is not good. My father will not let you marry in a foreign country. Tomorrow Dad will explain the situation to His Majesty."
The ceremonial guard at the Xuanzheng Hall stands majestic, and the golden melon warriors are stationed in the hall to take orders at any time. In addition, foreign envoys will come to the court today, and the ceremonial guard is more majestic than before.
The Holy Emperor seems to be in a good mood these days, and he is optimistic about this expedition. The ministers and princes also took the opportunity to express their needs, and the Han Emperor agreed.
The Han Emperor sat upright and began to talk about Dangxiang Guo's marriage proposal, "I guess all my dear friends have already heard about it. Dangxiang Guo's envoy came to Beijing yesterday and specifically explained their purpose of coming and wanted to make peace with us. I thought of Ping Yuanbo's marriage. My daughter, Princess Qiongxi, is a good candidate for the marriage. What do you think, dear ladies?"
When Pingyuan Bo Anyuanshan was about to go out to report, Prince Liu Yan left the job first. Anyuanshan felt tight, thinking that this time would be bad.
"Yan'er, do you have anything to say?"
Liu Yan bowed and said: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson dares to say that this is inappropriate!"
After hearing this, the ministers all started talking. Anyuanshan was also stunned at the side. The prince's words were beyond everyone's expectations. After all, marrying a princess can bring peace. For them, why not do it!
The Han Emperor in the palace also thought that he had heard wrongly and asked doubtfully: "Yan'er, what are you saying is wrong?"
"My grandson feels that we should not agree to Dang Xiangguo's request for a marriage marriage!"
After Liu Yan said this, there was an uproar in the palace. The corners of Emperor Han's originally smiling mouth suddenly drooped and trembled slightly, "Shouldn't it be? Please tell me!"
Everyone in the palace fell silent for a moment, listening intently to the prince's statement.
"Grandpa Emperor, Dangxiang State has always been a vassal state of our dynasty. We usually keep close contact with each other. Now, when our dynasty is about to go to war with the Great Fan Kingdom, it is trying to take advantage of the situation. If we really agree to Dangxiang State's request, then the rest of us will When other countries see this, won’t they all imitate it? What will be my power in the future? How can I frighten the world? Therefore, I think you must not agree to Dang Xiangguo’s request. No, it’s not a request, it should be a coercion!”
Prince Liu Yan spoke loudly and forcefully, and all the ministers nodded their heads.
Prime Minister Li Shizhi saw that the emperor was hesitant and knew his worries, so he went out to report: "Your Majesty, what the Crown Prince said is reasonable, but if this happens, I am afraid that the relationship between the two countries will be compromised! Once Dang Xiangguo If we defect and unite with the great Tibetan kingdom, we may be exhausted by then!"
Emperor Han was also hesitant. What Yan'er said was not unreasonable. Once he agreed, it would be detrimental to Tianwei, but if he refused the other party's request, he would be in a desperate situation. Emperor Han was silent for a long time without saying anything, and everyone did not dare to mention it again, just waiting for the Holy Emperor to make up his mind.
Liu Yan continued: "Grandpa Huang, Dangxiang State is located in the northwest of Han Dynasty and north of Lanzhou. Let An Shiqing, the governor of Lanzhou, lead his troops to guard it. Dangxiang State is sparsely populated. Even if he wants to steal our army's retreat, It’s also true that there is more than enough ambition but not enough power. The other party just wants to take advantage of the situation, so why should we be afraid?”
After a long silence, the Han Emperor said seriously: "Xuan Dang Xiang Guo envoy!"
The official announcement was completed. After a while, Gelu, the envoy of Dangxiang State who looked exotic, came to visit him.
Gru stepped in proudly, and all the ministers turned their eyes to Gru, but they saw him taking square steps triumphantly, his footsteps echoing in the hall, and he looked like he was incompetent.
"I am Gru, the envoy of Dangxiang State, and I have met His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!" Gru made a barbarian salute.
Emperor Han felt a little unhappy when he saw him performing such a simple barbarian salute, but he still said calmly: "Geluru, is your king okay these days?"
Gru put a smile on his lips and said: "Very good! The body is still very strong. Recently, the Kingdom of Fan has also donated many rare treasures to our party, Xiang Kingdom, and our Emperor also likes it very much."
"Oh?" Emperor Han deliberately asked in a long tone, "Does your king still have contacts with the Kingdom of Tibet?"
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood!" Gru explained calmly, "His Majesty knows that we have always been on good terms with the Han Dynasty, so we have confiscated all the gifts from the Han Dynasty and are waiting for you to deal with them!"
The Han Emperor felt unhappy in his heart. In the past, he always said he was loyal to the Han Dynasty, but now he said he was a good friend. Looking at his interesting expression when he spoke, the Han Emperor suddenly changed his expression to a disdainful one, and said with a dull "hum". : "Then what do you want to do with these gifts?"
"His Majesty the Emperor has said that he is willing to use this as a gift to propose marriage to the Han Dynasty, marry the princess of the Han Dynasty, and form an eternal alliance between the two countries!" Gru said confidently.
The Han Emperor mocked: "Aren't you afraid that the great country of Fan will fall out of favor?"
