Chapter 1042 Princess Xiyu
Thinking that the Queen Mother would not live long and her longing for the late Emperor would slowly erode her life, the Second Princess felt sad.
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Whatever you say to discourage people, there will always be one day. It is a matter of time. Now, the Miao people are dead and cannot be tortured. The Japanese and Tatars have taken refuge in us again. Dasheng, Dasheng There are no more threats, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and everything is calm. If the emperor marries a queen who can understand both cold and hot feelings with him, then I will have nothing to worry about. "
It's like saying that if you die now, you will have no regrets.
The second princess sighed, "Why don't you worry? The emperor has just got married and has not given birth to a legitimate son or daughter. Also, you have to take care of the eldest prince, second prince, eldest princess and several others. If you go to accompany the late emperor, , then who will take care of them? ”
"You have the heart to leave them to the care of their mother and concubine?"
"In this entire harem, except for your place, which is relatively quiet, where else is it quiet? It's full of bloodshed and chaos. How can those children be okay once they step into it?"
When the second princess mentioned the emperor's children, a trace of reluctance flashed across the queen mother's face. Especially when she thought of the frail eldest prince, her heart ached.
She devoted a lot of her efforts to the eldest prince, and was the closest to him. She was really reluctant to abandon him and find the late emperor because she loved him so much.
However, the late emperor has been waiting for her for many years. What if she doesn't leave and the late emperor no longer waits for her?
The second princess seemed to have read her thoughts. She advised, "Queen Mother, don't think so much about other things. Take good care of yourself and raise your grandchildren. The late emperor has knowledge underground. He will also feel relieved."
"Really?" the Queen Mother choked with excitement, "If the late Emperor can rest in peace, then I will... No, no, I had a dream a few days ago, and I dreamed that the late Emperor was in a dark room. He said It was cold, hungry, and dark, and I had no one to talk to.”
So, the late emperor wanted the queen mother to stay with him, so the queen mother would be so eager to leave everything behind and follow the late emperor?
"That was just a dream. Dreams are the opposite, right? The late emperor has been gone for so long, and he might have been reincarnated long ago and started a new life."
"No, the late emperor has been reincarnated, why would he still give me dreams?"
The queen mother did not believe what the second princess said.
In those days, she had this dream every day, which made her very uneasy and made her want to find the late emperor.
When the second princess came out of the palace, she was worried. When she returned to the palace, she told the second prince about the situation of the queen mother.
The second prince sighed and said, "The emperor's sister-in-law has a heart disease, and her heart disease requires heart medicine. If she can't let it go, even if Hua Tuo comes back, I'm afraid he won't be able to save her."
The next day, the emperor announced his marriage in court.
What the emperor received was not congratulations from civil and military officials, but opposition.
All the civil and military officials, except for the dozen or so ministers of the Second Prince who stood at the front, all the other ministers knelt down and begged the emperor to think more deeply.
"We are a prosperous country with a prosperous and prosperous country. How can we ask a little maid to be the mother of a country? This... this is also a joke if it spreads."
"Your Majesty, please think twice."
"Your Majesty, this little maid, what virtues and abilities does she have, can she be the mother of a country? Your Majesty, Shen begs Your Majesty to take back this marriage."
……
The civil and military officials all rejected a little maid to be their queen, and they did not want to have to kneel down to a little maid in the future and call her a thousand years old.
The emperor's face suddenly darkened, and he was filled with gloom. "Why do you, dear friends, object to my marrying Princess Xiyu from Prince An's palace?" Just before the emperor went to court in the morning, he had already decreed that the righteous daughter of Prince An's palace would be named Chu. Cang is the princess of Xiyu Princess.
Of course, this also elevated his fiancée's status in disguise.
However, the Chu family and his son had made many great contributions and had numerous military exploits. They were great contributors to Dasheng. As the only daughter of the Zhuo family of Chu Xuanyu, it made sense for Chu Cong to be granted the status of a princess.
However, he never expected that the Second Prince Dou and others would not object to his marriage, nor did he expect that several elders in the cabinet would oppose his marriage to Chu Cong.
In fact, he could guess why they objected.
It is nothing more than a struggle between civil and military ministers.
All the military strength of Dasheng Kingdom is in the hands of the Second Prince and Chu Xuanyu, and these two are in-laws and people on the same boat. On weekdays, they often mess with these civil servants.
In the past, there was Mr. Liao in the cabinet, and Mr. Liao and Chu Xuanyu had a close relationship. Chu Xuanyu would not go too far when fighting with people in the cabinet.
But after Mr. Liao came to Ding You at home, the struggle between the cabinet and the military generals became much more intense. The civil and military ministers all hugged each other, excluded each other, and fought with each other.
Military generals hated it most that civil servants could talk the dead into living things with just one mouth. And the civil servants could not understand that the emperor only doted on the Chu family and his son, the second prince and his son, but did not pay attention to their civil servants.
These two teams often quarreled in the court. However, after every quarrel, the emperor would always think about the second prince and Chu Xuanyu, and the civil servants would all return in defeat.
This time, the civil servants saw that the emperor would rather marry a maid from Prince An's palace than the legitimate daughter of their palace. They also said that their legitimate daughters were not as talented and capable as a little maid from Prince An's palace. This was obvious. It just insults them.
The civil servants felt a fire in their hearts. When the emperor announced the marriage today, the civil servants who had been holding back their anger for a long time all stood up to oppose it.
"What Princess Xiyu?" An old civil servant looked at the emperor in confusion.
The emperor raised his lips and smiled coldly, "I forgot to mention that early this morning, I issued an edict to make Miss Chu from Prince An's Palace the Princess of Xiyu Princess."
"Your Majesty is wise." The second prince was the first to stand up and support, "Prince An and Crown Prince Chu have made so many contributions over the years and created a prosperous era for our great country. The Emperor should have rewarded An long ago. The prince's palace."
Chu Xuanyu and Chu Jingqi had made many great contributions, but looking back, the emperor had only truly rewarded them, father and son, once.
That is to upgrade the title of Duke Anguo to Prince Anjun.
However, the Chu family and his son subdued the Tatars, defeated the Japanese pirates in two battles, and destroyed the Miao territory. Now, they have made great contributions to the Jiangnan plague.
With so many achievements, none of them is a matter of life and death for the great prosperity of the country. However, the emperor only rewarded the Chu family once. This time he rewarded Chu Jingqi's two sons with two hereditary general positions. To put it bluntly, it was only superficial appeasement. That’s all.
With Chu Jingqi’s twin sons, will they still find a hereditary military commander rare in the future?
I heard that Chu Xuanyu and Chu Jingqi started teaching them martial arts when they were two years old.
