In the summer of the third year of Jingkang, Grand Secretary Huang Shang mentioned the marriage for the first time in the temple. He said that Tufan was located in a remote place and had been respectful for many years. Recently, he received support from our merchants. He was willing to send troops to the west to protect the business path. He can be honest and asked the emperor to marry him to show his favor.

As soon as Huang Shang's words came out, they were supported by a large number of court officials, especially several ministers close to the merchant group, and wrote letters repeatedly. At that time, several major merchants in the Ye family in Jiangnan of the Song Dynasty were in contact with Tufan. Several major merchants paid money and Tufan sent troops to open up the business route to Tianzhu. Tufan was determined to move, but he also put forward conditions, hoping that several major merchants would speak for Tufan in the court and compete for the first vassal status to marry the Song Dynasty.

The court officials naturally knew about this matter, and it involved the noble king Taishan. It seemed that the noble king naturally supported it, so he did not say much about what he originally planned to oppose. The court had an unprecedented agreement, that is, he agreed to marry Tufan.

In fact, since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there has not been any marriage ties. Emperor Xingzong of Liao, Emperor Zhen, sent Liu Liufu and others to the Song Dynasty to discuss the matter of ceding land. When the request for ceding land was rejected by the negotiator Fu Bi of the Northern Song Dynasty, they made a request for ceding Song. Fu Bi politely refused on the pretext that marriage easily caused a rift. "Marriage easily caused a rift. The princess of this dynasty surrendered and gave only 100,000 yuan. How could it be a huge benefit for annual monies?..." At that time, the scholars would rather offer annual monies than cede land. However, now the Song Dynasty is gradually becoming stronger, and there is no sense of humiliation for relatives and scholars. In order to persuade Tufan to help the merchants of the Song Dynasty open up the business channels to go west to Tianzhu, they mentioned the matter of marriage. In addition, the noble king probably agreed with a quarrel. Therefore, the court officials were not as good as before, and they could argue for sesame and mung beans for a long time, but they were one-sided and all supported Tufan's marriage ties.

Although Zhao Huan was unwilling to do so, his ministers were convinced and could not argue. He had to slow down his argument and went to court to be depressed.

...

In the small pavilion of the Imperial Garden, Zhao Huan, who was depressed, finished the whole story, and Yuan Yuan, who was reading a book leisurely, looked calm and said, "Why should you be discouraged by brother? What's the matter with marrying a foreigner? Brother just accepts it."

Zhao Huan shook his head and said, "No, I will never send you to marry you!"

Yuanyuan shook his head indifferently, turned to read the book again, Zhao Huan stood up suddenly and said, "I'm going to ask the emperor uncle, the emperor uncle will definitely help me!"

Yuanyuan flipped through the book and said casually: "Brother, tell the truth, is marriage beneficial to my Song Dynasty?"

Zhao Huan stopped for a moment, and nodded slightly for a while.

Yuanyuan said: "Then what you said is beneficial to the Song Dynasty, will the emperor's uncle oppose it?"

Zhao Huan was stunned for a while, sat down slowly, but argued with force: "But you are my sister and his niece. Will he bear to see you fall into the fire pit?"

Yuanyuan said, "The Emperor's Uncle must support what is beneficial to the Song Dynasty, so brother, don't make the Emperor's Uncle embarrassed. Besides, I'm not unhappy. If I went to marry him to help the Emperor's Uncle, it would be great." After saying that, he smiled. Will the Emperor's Uncle think of this naughty niece for a long time? For the hegemony he mentioned, the arrival of the colonial era had such a small contribution?

However, Zhao Huan looked at his smiling sister, feeling extremely sad and could not speak anymore.

...

In the noble palace, listening to Ye Lao Er slowly telling the court situation in the past few days, Wu Zhi's brows gradually frowned, and he kissed him. Yuanyuan's face appeared in front of him. Such a small child had not yet entered the cardamom. In another year or two, he would be sent to the barbarians in the western border. From then on, he would never return south for the rest of his life?

"Brother-in-law, it seems that the Silk Road in India is unobstructed this time, haha," Ye Lao Er called out the word "brother-in-law" but it was extremely respectful, which made people sound strange, as if "brother-in-law" was a title for a person who was hundreds of times higher than his status. In fact, if it weren't for Wu Zhi's hard work, how could he dare to say the word "brother-in-law"?

Seeing that Wu Zhi looked unhappy, Ye Lao Er quickly put away his smile and said nervously: "What's wrong with this?"

Wu Zhi pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Don't mention the marriage matter again in the future."

Ye Lao Er was stunned for a moment. Although he was full of doubts, he did not dare to say anything. He could only nod: "Yes, then I will go to see Master Huang tonight."

Wu Zhi said again: "As for the Silk Road, I will write a letter with King Tufan. If he knows the tact, he will know how to act. If he doesn't know the tact, hehe, Qinghai, Tibet is the territory of China, so it's better to take it back soon."

Although Ye Laoer didn't understand Wu Zhi's words, he heard Wu Zhi want to write a letter to King Tufan, and he felt relieved and smiled and said, "Everything that is listened to his brother-in-law."

On the eighth day of the sixth month of the third year of Jingkang, the noble king suddenly wrote a letter saying: "I have seen five strategies for defending the enemy since the Han and Tang dynasties: "Marriage, "guarding, "warning, "fighting, "fuding, "guarding," "guarding, "guarding," "guarding," "guarding," "guarding," "guarding," "guarding," "guarding," "guarding," "guarding," "guarding," "guarding," "guarding," "guarding," "guarding," "guarding," "guarding," "guarding," "guarding," "guarding," "guarding," "guarding," "guarding," "guarding," said the emperor of Han, and the emperor of Tang. On the eighth day of the sixth month of the sixth month of the sixth month of the year of the third year of the year of the Jingkang, the noble king of the king of the sixth month of the sixth month of the year of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 1

His memorial means that the marriage between the Han and Tang dynasties was when the enemy was strong and we were weak. Now that the Song Dynasty is strong, why should we marry the barbarians and humiliate themselves?

Several of the backbone of the marriage gang sent a letter to argue, but finally stopped. Who would be unhappy with nothing? He insisted on going against the noble king? This matter was to please the noble king, but the noble king did not want to argue for the sake of face. As soon as the noble king came, the ministers would immediately fall with the wind. It would probably be even more angry and the emperor would hold a grudge. The few people would not have a good life in the future. After arguing with the noble king, there was a step forward. The noble king and Zhao Huan encouraged him, and the ministers ended with a decent ending.

A few days later, Wu Zhi wrote to the Queen Mother, saying that marriage was harmful to all kinds of harm but no benefit, which only made the royal family shameful and the Song Dynasty was shamed. I hope that in the future, the Song Dynasty would no longer have the princess to serve tigers and wolves, bend down to one person and extend above ten thousand people to marry barbarians.

Zhao Huan was overjoyed, and it was said that he had agreed with both hands and feet. At present, the royal family of Song Cining Zhaole, the imperial uncle and the noble prince, and Qinzong issued an edict to write it into the royal family's ancestral teachings, saying that in the future, the descendants will not be able to marry each other. If this teaching is violated, the ancestors will not be at peace under the nine springs.

The subjects of the Song Dynasty were not very interested in marriage. Moreover, the country is now strong and the mentality of a great country is flooded. They will not agree with the good thing of sending the princess to marriage. After hearing the royal actions, they naturally agree with it. Some merchants who hope that marriage can bring benefits heard about the three people of the Empress Dowager, the noble king, and the emperor. They also knew that the road was not clear from then on, so they could only cut off this idea.

...

In the noble prince's mansion, Wu Zhi was teasing his baby son with some girls in the back garden. A palace maid hurried in and walked in and knelt down to report: "Prince, Princess, Princess Roufu, please see the prince."

Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment and smiled and said, "Please come over."

After the palace maid left, Qi Qiaoqi said, "Yuanyuan? That girl has always ignored people, how could she come to see her husband?"

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "It's probably for the sake of marriage."

Jin Zhi smiled and said, "I'm also strange. When did my husband feel compassion? This is not like what my husband did."

Qi Qiao blinked her big eyes and said, "What kind of pity? What's going on with a marriage?" She has always been not very concerned about the government, and she doesn't like Jin Zhi likes to give Wu Zhi some ideas. She turned around and asked Xiao Qianqian, "Qianqian, do you know?"

Xiao Qianqian blushed and lowered her head without saying a word. Since that night, she has been so embarrassed that she can no longer raise her head in front of Wu Zhi.

Seeing her appearance, Qiqiao said angrily: "Why do you look like this? I wasn't that night..."

"Forget it! You can avoid it first, maybe there is something important." Wu Zhi was afraid that Qi Qiao would speak without saying anything.

Jinlian nodded with a smile and said goodbye to Wu Zhi. Several girls laughed and walked out. When they walked out of the garden gate, a green shadow rushed over like a wind. He collided with Qiqiao. Qiqiao let out a whimper and was about to get angry, but he saw that the little body in his arms was Yuan Yuan, and he couldn't help but say, "Hey, can you run?"

Yuan Yuan looked up and saw seven or eight charming women in front of him. They were all staring at him curiously. Among the girls, he knew Qiqiao and hurriedly saluted: "The niece has seen all the aunts." Her face was slightly red, and she ran anxiously, and she was a little angry.

Jinlian smiled and said, "What a beautiful little girl, are you Yuanyuan? I often hear your uncle talk about you."

Yuanyuan smiled and said, "How many aunts are beautiful, how can Yuanyuan benefit from it?"

Several girls laughed, Yuan Yuan saluted one by one, and each aunt praised her a few words. When it was the third sister, she took the third sister's hand and kissed her, "Auntie is so beautiful, a little more beautiful than I think." She was as cold as the third sister, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

When several girls praised Yuanyuan for being smart, well-behaved and sensible, Qiqiao's eyes widened and said, "Sister Jinlian, sisters, do you know how proud this little girl was before? Today the sun really came out from the west? How could she see us flattering? I went to the palace to meet my sister-in-law, but she ignored me. I heard that I was rude and vulgar and reckless? You said, did you give me these horoscopes?"

Several girls giggled, Xuan Jing bent over with a smile, and said while laughing: "The comments on these eight characters are appropriate..."

Yuanyuan shook his little head hard and said, "How could I say behind my back that Auntie is smart and beautiful? Although Yuanyuan was only heard of the style of the Liao army, he was longing for it. Auntie is the person I admire the most."

Qi Qiao laughed, pinched Yuanyuan's little face, and said, "That's right, today's little mouth seems to be smearing honey. But I like it, aunt!"

Jinlian said, "Okay, okay, let's go. She and her husband are afraid that there will be something important." She also heard that Roufu Wenjing ran in today, so naturally there will be something important.

A few girls were laughing and walking away, but Qi Qiao looked back from time to time in suspicion.

When the girls walked away, Yuan Yuan frowned and rubbed his little face that was pinched to the point of pain, and muttered in a low voice: "Reckless and rude... Ah, I can't be known by the emperor." Seeing that no one was close to him, he stuck out his tongue and breathed a sigh of relief.

...

Wu Zhi sat in the pavilion, drinking tea himself, thinking about whether he would take Yuanyuan to play. Since he had a son, Wu Zhi seemed to be very fatherly. Yuanyuan, who lives in the palace, was always in his heart, as if he had become his own daughter.

Just as he was thinking, he heard the rapid running sound, and when he turned around, a green shadow flashed, a soft little body rushed into his arms, and a silver bell-like laughter sounded in his ears, "Uncle Emperor, Yuanyuan is here."

Yuan Yuan hooked Wu Zhi's neck with both hands and sat on Wu Zhi's legs, with joy on his face: "Thank you, Uncle Emperor."

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "What kind of decent thing is it? Why don't you let go?"

Yuanyuan shook his head, hugged his hands tighter, and said, "No, I just want to hug the emperor."

Wu Zhi smiled helplessly, but he was relieved to see her happy.

"Uncle Emperor, why didn't you send Yuanyuan to marry him? Do you know how happy Yuanyuan was at that time..." Yuanyuan stared at Wu Zhi, and the blur in his eyes made Wu Zhi stunned.

"Uncle Emperor, thank you..." Yuanyuan's voice became lower and lower, and his little head slowly leaned against Wu Zhi's chest. Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Are you so happy?"

"Yeah..." Yuanyuan responded softly.

Wu Zhi asked again, "You came here by yourself? Do you know the emperor's sister-in-law?" Yuan Yuan responded very lowly for a few times, and then he was silent again. Wu Zhi looked at her, but saw that her eyes were closed and her little face was smiling, and she had already fallen asleep.

Wu Zhi sighed in his heart, thinking that the little girl had been living like a year in the past few days, and she didn't know how much she was worried. Now that she was over, she fell asleep like this.

The fragrant breath, soft body, everything told Wu Zhi that the little girl in her arms was an absolute young girl, and she felt a little embarrassed. She wanted to wake her up, but when she lowered her head and saw her joy and tranquility, Wu Zhi suddenly felt embarrassed, gently hugged her, leaned on the chair and closed her eyes, slowly stroked her satin-like smooth hair, and her thoughts gradually blurred...
