101. Chapter 101 Willing to die for the emperor(1/2)

The officials in front of Taihe Sect were waiting in groups, a vast area. The familiar civil servants from the same faction gathered together, whispering, discussing the feasibility of Princess Mingzhu's marriage/marrying. Last night was too hasty, and was led by the group of passionate military generals. Now we have to discuss whether to marry the princess/principals go to the Huns.

"In the family of the emperor, you should have the responsibility of sacrificing yourself for the country! A daughter can shoulder the heavy responsibility of marriage, which is actually the supreme glory. Otherwise, many good men in my Zhou Dynasty will be buried in the battlefield. How many tragic things will cause the white-headed people to send black-headed people? How many babies will become orphans?" A scholar with a tall appearance, extraordinary demeanor, wearing cloud geese and civil servants, said aloud.

"Okay! Well said!"

"What Shi Fei said is very much."

"That's what it should be!"

"Bah! Why are you marrying? I like marrying so much, why don't he marry himself out!" Niu Jizong sneered, with a look of disdain.

Today, all the generals who are qualified to attend the morning court should be from the fourth rank or above.

From the third-rank champion general Li Lian, from the fourth-rank Fenwei general Niu Jizong, from the fourth-rank Xianwu general Ran Feng, from the fourth-rank Xuanwu general Lin Han, of course, today's heroine - General Li Mingzhu, the fourth-rank Mingwei general.

The righteous civil servant was actually Lin Yiyu and Lin Daiyu's former enlightenment teacher, Jia Yucun.

Originally, Lin Ruhai planned to send his two daughters to Beijing for raising Shi's family shortly after Jia Min's death, but was dragged by Lin Yiyu for a year. During this year, the two daughters of the Lin family had to be mourned, so naturally they would not take any classes. Therefore, after Lin Ruhai gave Jia Yucun a considerable thank-you gift, Jia Yucun left consciously. He was also a scholar who had studied hard for ten years. He once passed the Jinshi exam and became a prefect, but was dismissed for his greed and favoritism.

After receiving this money that was enough to make him live a good life for a year, Jia Yucun's heart that was unwilling to be mediocre and eager to become prosperous became active again. He packed up his luggage and went to Beijing, and after stumbled around, he actually contacted Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng saw that he was talented and honest. After asking carefully, he found that everyone was of the same clan and genealogy, so he used his influence among the four kings and eight ministers to find the fourth-rank Shuntian Prefecture for Jia Yucun. You should know that Jia Zheng is not as good as before. The person who inherited the title was not him, but his brother; the person with a high position and power was not him, but his brother. He also had a bad relationship with the two brothers. Everyone in the dealers knew that he was the beloved son of Shi. Therefore, although Jia Zheng was not very good at speaking, he finally helped him for the sake of Shi's face.

Jia Yucun's eyes immediately brightened. The thigh he wanted to hug when he entered Beijing was Li Lian!

Unfortunately, Li Lian was either in the camp, in the capital, or in the mansion, and rarely wandered around. Therefore, Jia Yucun couldn't find a friend, so he settled for the second best to find Jia Zheng, hoping that Jia Zheng could help him with a few good words. Unexpectedly, he didn't know that Li Lian and Jia Zheng had a cold relationship, so he failed to hold Li Lian's thigh.

Now is a great time! Although Jia Yucun supports Princess Mingzhu's marriage and stands on the contrary with Li Lianzhan, based on his repeated inquiries about Li Lian's temperament and character, as long as he shows that he is public and forgets his own selfishness, his country and his family, and his concern for the people and the country, he will not worry that Li Lian will not look at him differently.

Just as Jia Yucun had a straight face and a clear throat, he was about to deliver a high-pitched and exciting speech, "Ahem!"

Jia Yucun stared at the "uninterested" person with dissatisfaction, but the next moment he smiled.

There is nothing else, it's all because he can't afford to offend that person for the time being.

An old man said with a solemn face: "National affairs! How can you, a reckless man who only knows how to talk nonsense!?" His tone was upright.

But it was Zhang Tianzheng, the Minister of Personnel.

Niu Jizong glanced at him under the corner of his eyes, and picked his nose, and decided to endure him.

There is no other way! Who told me that the younger brothers of my family were a heroic and righteous person a few days ago. When they saw a playboy forcing a robber to rob a girl on the road, they beat him up and said to be the legitimate son of the nine generations. Niu Jizong naturally applauded him. But I heard that the 88-year-old lady in her family was crying and shouting, which was so desolate.

As the elder brother, he naturally had to deal with the "good things" he did for his younger brothers. In the past few days, he was impeached by Zhang Tianzheng every day, saying that he was frivolous, had no words and deeds, and other trivial matters such as slaughtering cattle. Even Niu Jizong accidentally broke the crops when he led his soldiers to practice in the suburbs (he had already lost money immediately) and made Niu Jizong very upset.

However, in Zhang Tianzheng's eyes, this action meant that Niu Jizong disdained him, which made Zhang Tianzheng's already boiling anger more and more uncontrollable.

He strode to Niu Jizong, not caring about the height of Niu Jizong's ribs. He raised his head and spoke and scolded, "You are rude! You are disrespectful, rude, and unruly, so what kind of morality is it? You are not upright and do not manage your family strictly. How dare you deal with the public in the court for major affairs? "You are about to spit on Niu Jizong's face.

Li Mingzhu immediately grabbed his mistake and said, "Is Mr. Zhang dissatisfied with the emperor?" It turned out that he was very unhappy to hear the civil servants whispering about his marriage. He saw an unknown "fourth-rank small official" (Jia Yucun) who dared to yell that he "deserved" to marry the Huns. It happened that Zhang Tianzheng bumped into him, so he just asked her to vent her a little first.

"Prince, be careful! When will I be dissatisfied with the emperor??"

Mingzhu refuted: "Mr. Zhang just said that General Fenwei is not well-off and is not qualified to go to court to discuss national affairs. However, General Fenwei's official position was personally granted by the emperor, and the emperor allowed him to go to court to discuss politics! Do you say that General Fenwei is not qualified, isn't it just that he is dissatisfied with the emperor's decision?"

Zhang Tianzheng pulled down his face, stroked his beard, and said in a deep voice: "I have said something that I know, and the emperor is wise, so naturally I will not listen to it in person. As the saying goes: men and women are not close to each other. The princess is a marriage person. Please respect yourself. Don't let the emperor be ashamed!" He bit Li Mingzhu and the other two without hesitation, implying that they have an ambiguous relationship and are unclear.

This is too much!

Li Lian was too lazy to pay attention to the confrontation between them, and was lying in his stomach. How to convince the emperor later, but after hearing this, he had to come forward.

He walked to Zhang Tianzheng step by step, looked down at him, and said indifferently but with a sense of majesty: "Shilar Zhang, you have spoken too much."

When the officials saw Li Lian speak, they stopped talking unconsciously and looked at their side.

A civil servant who is good at Zhang Tianzheng kept winking and even wanted to pull him away.

"Hmph!" Zhang Tianzheng looked majestic and indecisive, his eyes wide open.

"You said, if I beat you up here, what will happen?" Li Lian simply asked a question.

"You!" Zhang Tianzheng was so angry that he was glaring at him.

Li Lian said in embarrassment: "Don't worry, you old man, I'm not such a person. But..." He glanced at Niu Jizong behind him with his eyes.

Niu Jizong understood, and a grim smile appeared on his face. He clasped his fists and made the sound of skeleton Caracala. He looked at Zhang Tianzheng with a steady look. The meaning was very obvious: The commander would not beat you, I would.

Only then did Zhang Tianzheng remember that the person in front of him was a famous stick in the capital, and even the Grand Secretary dared to cut off even the Grand Secretary! Moreover, he was also the emperor's brother-in-law, and he had an alternative gold medal for avoiding death!

If this guy really beat him up...

Not to mention whether his old bones could stand it, but just looking at his flying axe that day, the emperor turned a blind eye to the emperor, he knew that he was really beaten up, and it was probably a waste of time.

Even if the emperor is willing to stand up for him and dismiss Niu Jizong from office, there are Li Lian, the Supreme Emperor and the Queen behind Niu Jizong!

In less than a month, you will naturally be restored to your post.

Zhang Tianzheng was sadly discovering that it seemed that because of Niu Jizong's concessions over the past few days, he had a false feeling that Niu Jizong was just like this, and he became more and more desperate. But when he remembered that the nine generations of single sons in his family had broken a foot and lay on the bed, the doctor said that he might be bad in the future, so he decided to continue to fight to death!

The civil and military officials who were watching once again recognized Niu Jizong's status as a devil king.

This kind of demon king who is not stingy in the world should stay away from it in the future! If you can't afford to offend, you can always afford to hide!

At this time, a melodious bell sound came from the palace. The many officials gathered in front of the palace gate suddenly looked solemn, and they tidied up their clothes, stood in order, and slowly stepped forward.

"All the Lords are calm."

After a few words, the emperor got to the point: "Since I ascended the throne, I have always accepted good advice from all directions. Now, the Great Khan of the Huns Huhanye asked me to marry Princess Mingzhu, and was willing to use tens of thousands of horses, one hundred thousand cattle, one hundred thousand sheep, and thirty boxes of gold, silver and jewelry as betrothal gifts in the southwest of Zhuoxie Mountain. I wonder what the ministers think?"

"Return to the emperor, the two countries are in harmony and mutual exchanges, and do not raise any war. This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people! The old minister agrees!" Zhang Tianzheng, who had just been defied by Li Lian and Niu Jizong outside the hall, took the lead and said unswervingly.

When Jia Yucun saw that Zhang Tianzheng was one step faster, he hurriedly followed him and said in a silence: "Shilar Zhang is right. After marriage, the relationship between the two countries is closer. My Great Zhou Erlang does not need to die in the battlefield. In addition, Zhuoxie is of great value in the southwest of Shanxi, and its geographical location is easy... This is a win-win situation! I also agree!" Based on his contemplation of the emperor's thoughts over the years, he believed that the emperor must have intended to marry him.

To put it bluntly, he is just speculating on politics.

"I also think that marriage is desirable!"

"I agree with the marriage!"

A group of traditional civil servants who believed that peace was the most important.

"No! The Huns are jackals, tigers and leopards! Huhanye has only been in power for ten years, but in the past ten years, he has integrated the various divisions of the Huns and unified the grasslands, Turks, Xianbei, and Rouran have followed him as the leader! He trained the army, encouraged farming, and developed trade... His ambitions are obvious!" The Grand Secretary Gao Gong was the most upright and immediately jumped out to object.

"That's right! The princess is not advisable."

"The Huns are all wolves who are ambitious, they are evil wolves who cannot be fed! Please give them a clear look!"

The civil servants from Gao Gong's faction spoke one after another.

Niu Jizong joined in the fun and said in a muffled voice: "If you don't accept it, beat me! You're so silly! Who would marry the princess to those barbarians?"

The emperor put his eyes on Kang Hetai's faction that he had not expressed his meaning.

"Back to the emperor, Princess Mingzhu and the Great Khan of the Xiongnu are not bad. It's not impossible. I think it's better to ask the princess about this matter!" After thinking about it, Kang Hetai decided to continue to use his usual policy - think twice before acting, and then look at the situation.

Since he finally mentioned himself, Li Mingzhu went out directly: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty, don't say that you just want to get married! Even if you have the life of the last general, what's wrong?"

Other civil servants who really thought Li Mingzhu decided to sacrifice her own life and went to marry her to praise her: "The princess really understands the truth, she deserves to be a golden branch and a jade leaf!"

"The princess's move is comparable to Wang Zhaojun who voluntarily goes out of the border!"

Li Lian and others looked calm and composed in response to this.

Gao Gong, Kang Hetai, Zhang Tianzheng, Jia Yucun and other wise men looked at Li Mingzhu alertly, as if there was something in their words!

Sure enough, after Li Mingzhu accepted the praise from a group of civil servants, he said, "However, the last general is not only Princess Mingzhu of the Great Zhou, but also the fourth-rank General Mingwei of the Great Zhou Dynasty! From ancient times to the present, how could he marry the general out of the general?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole hall was in an uproar.

The civil servants were taken a detachment by Hu Hanye's request to marry Princess Mingzhu, and only focused on Princess Mingzhu, but they never considered that if they really married outside, they would marry General Mingwei!

From ancient times to the present, only the daughter of the royal family or the daughter of the minister and the common people was given the title of princess, how could there be a precedent for marrying a general in a country? Marrying a general/marrying a marriage? Bah! This is simply ridiculous! It is because of the decline of the country's strength and how weak it is that even the general who defends the country has to "send" it out!

Even if General Mingwei, who was deprived of Li Mingzhu of military position, was too late to make it impossible! Others would only say that the Zhou people were cowardly, and even the general could marry him at will. After it was spread, the reputation of the Great Zhou Dynasty was ruined.

There have been many civil servants who cherish their feathers back on their word, "That's how the princess can't marry!"

"How about we change to a princess! The princess is the noble of a thousand gold medals, and her identity is even more precious. I believe that Huhanye Da Shanyu will be satisfied!"

"Yes! The Supreme Emperor has three princesses. If the Huns are not satisfied, the emperor will also have the legitimate princess Princess Chang'an, the second princess and Princess An." It seems that he is using the royal princess as a vegetable market to choose pork.

It’s hard to say that the emperor felt very uncomfortable when he heard it. Even Li Lian frowned and looked cold.

"Champion Hou, do you have any objections to this matter?" the emperor asked.

Is it a marriage fraternity or a rebellion?

"Reply to the emperor's words, I dare to be brave. I will first ask the emperor to forgive me for being innocent." Li Lian walked to the center of the hall.

"I am sorry for your sins, but I hope you will say everything."

"My dear personal thought that marriage is not desirable!" As soon as you start, you will first express your attitude.

Li Lian said firmly: "What kind of integrity can a country that relies on women to pray for peace?" This sentence defeated all the civil servants who just agreed to marry into a backbone-free species.

"Champion Hou, you!" Many civil servants' faces flushed and were about to argue with Li Lian to understand.

The emperor scolded, "Silent!"

Then, he turned to look back at Li Lian: "My dear, continue."

"Guanzi said: "The wolf and wolf of Rongdi should not be disgusted; the banquet should not be poisoned by poison."

Guanzi said: Rongdi is like a jackal, greedy and unsatisfied; if you want temporary happiness, it is to drink poison to quench your thirst, and you can't think so!
