The next day! Morning…
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
"All my dear friends, you will be exempted from the ceremony!"
In general! Emperor Xuanwu's mental outlook today is much better than before! At least! The slightest smile finally appeared on the face that was always solemn.
I only found out after eating dumplings last night! In order to prevent the queen and other palace people from discovering it, it turns out! The aloof emperor sneaked out blindly.
"I am announcing something today!"
"The Xiongnu will soon invade the south, and preparations for war are imminent! However! Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. As a commoner and powerful official of Dawu, no one can stay away from the matter and have no shirking responsibility."
"Therefore! I am preparing to build a competition platform in Luoqi, the imperial capital, in half a month. It is similar to a martial arts competition to select capable men to defeat the Xiongnu and contribute to the country. Scholars and poor families can be selected. I will also set up a literary field. Meet the world's literati and write poems and poems to select people with both talent and virtue."
Emperor Xuanwu supervised the current ministers and the reigning princes.
All the ministers looked at each other one after another, holding hands and bowing, "Your Majesty is wise!"
"In that case! Let's retreat first! Get ready for the competition!" Emperor Xuanwu said, "General! You stay! I have something to tell you."
Hear this!
Liu Wenlong frowned, bowed and said, "No!"
After the ministers left slowly, Liu Wenlong followed Emperor Xuanwu to the Royal Academy.
In the academy, there is a large bed with a chessboard on the bed.
Emperor Xuanwu leaned forward and said, "Liu Wenlong, you can do the same! We brothers haven't played chess for a long time."
right!
But it has been several months since we played chess together.
but! However, Liu Wenlong understood that every time he played chess, it was the emperor who had important matters to discuss.
Liu Wenlong curled his lips and said with a grimace: "Your Majesty, if you have something to say, just say it! Let's play chess later."
"Hey!"
"Liu Wenlong, did you guess that something happened to me?" Emperor Xuanwu glared at his beard and said angrily.
Liu Wenlong also consciously leaned on the other side of the chessboard.
"It's not that I'm guessing, but your Majesty's performance is obvious. The first time your Majesty invites me to play chess, doesn't it mean that he has something important to discuss?" Liu Wenlong said. "Your Majesty, it's better to speak quickly!"
"Forget it! In that case, I just said, you must be mentally prepared!" Emperor Xuanwu said tentatively.
Liu Wenlong thinks it's nothing? You are His Majesty, the Ninth Five-Year-Old Supreme Being. What matters need to be discussed?
"I want to... marry my beloved!" Emperor Xuanwu took a sip of tea, with a sinister smile on his face. Let people see it! I couldn't help but be cautious and panicked.
Poof!
He just took a sip of tea, but before he could finish it, it almost spurted out from Liu Wenlong's mouth.
This tea! A bit expensive to drink.
Liu Wenlong asked weakly, "Your Majesty has taken a fancy to my family Wen Qin? He is planning to marry that princess to the Liu Mansion."
The eldest son, Liu Wenwen, already has a family, and his son is almost two years old. The only one who wants to get married is Liu Wenqin.
hey-hey!
Who knew! Emperor Xuanwu smiled evilly and shook his head, "I'm not asking your family to marry me, I'm asking your family to marry..."
Pooh!
Liu Wenlong hurriedly slipped out of bed. It was just troublesome to drink the tea! It feels like my butt is a little bit stuck sitting on this bed.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you are not talking about my Xin'er, are you?"
Emperor Xuanwu nodded noncommittally.
"No... no, Your Majesty! When Xin'er gets married, it's not me who decides, but the family member! I can't agree to this marriage."
"Moreover! You also know that my Xin'er has a very high vision! How many talented people, scholars and princes admire her! Didn't they all look down on her and refuse her marriage proposal?" Liu Wenlong said helplessly with a bitter face.
To know! In ancient times, women were the first to get married and have children, and the age of thirteen was just right. Those over the age of fifteen were considered older leftover women. Liu Wenxin is almost eighteen this year, and it is indeed the age to leave the court, but as the only daughter of the Liu family, everyone is doting on her. if! If Xin'er doesn't say marriage, the Liu family will naturally not agree.
Emperor Xuanwu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is Liu Qing unwilling?"
well!
Liu Wenlong sighed loudly, "Your Majesty! It's not that I don't want to, but Xin'er...she has her own opinion. As a father, it's not easy for me to force a marriage, right?"
This is true.
Sounds good!
"I haven't said yet, let that prince marry Xin'er? Are you going to refuse? Don't Liu Qing want to hear it?" Emperor Xuanwu suddenly started to betray his feelings again.
right!
Liu Wenlong didn't dare to talk nonsense! On this chessboard, he had experienced countless tricks.
"Who is your Majesty talking about?" Liu Wenlong asked deliberately.
Anyway, I just asked casually, and I firmly insisted that I would never marry my daughter.
"The sixth prince, King Qin Dongfang Yu."
"In recent years, I have seen Liu Qing caring very much for her six sons. She gave her son as a gift and gave him affectionate gifts. I thought that Liu Qing had already wanted to marry her daughter. It seems! I was overthinking it." Emperor Xuanwu Said tactfully.
oops!
I go!
Liu Wenlong was frightened, and his expression changed faster than flipping through a book, and he said cheerfully: "Hehehe..."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you should have told me earlier! We have to discuss this marriage!"
"Hey! Didn't Liu Qing just say she wouldn't marry? Why, her personality changed so quickly." Emperor Xuanwu said teasingly.
"Then...then...then His Majesty didn't say it was that prince just now! Hello, the Sixth Prince! I like the Sixth Prince." Liu Wenlong was as happy as a little old man.
………
that's all! Two old guys, living in secret, and two ignorant children, began to hesitate about the wedding, fearing that the other party would go back on their word, and even signed the imperial agreement.
evening…
Just like yesterday, Emperor Xuanwu found an excuse and sneaked into the harem again to eat and drink secretly.
Fortunately, Dongfang Yu didn't have much affection for Emperor Xuanwu, but at least he didn't have much resentment. But Wei Qing, Xu Meng, and Yu Wenhu suffered a lot. Three outsiders, as ministers, suffered a lot! I ate with trepidation, for fear of offending the emperor by saying one more inappropriate word.
after all! Not everyone is like Dongfang Yu, who gets crazy and dares to scold anyone!
"Pooh!"
"What... Why do you just want to marry with your fingertips? Father! Although I am your son, you should not make the decision for me when it comes to marrying a wife!" Hearing this news, Dongfang Yu almost burst into tears. The rice inside is about to spurt out.
do not forget! There is Gu Yuena waiting for him in Beiliang! If I knew that I would come to the capital and bring a wife back, I guess! After returning to Beiliang, that girl would make a big fuss again, which he couldn't bear.
hehe!
"It's a good feeling! It will look good when you take it back."
Wei Qing, Xu Meng, and Yu Wenhu were sitting at the table next to them. You looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't think the matter was serious. They wished Dongfang Yu could take a wife back home as soon as possible. Then it would be best to have a younger prince again.
