In the entire Da Qi court, there are only three people who can exert pressure on the eldest princess of Xiaoyue, Meng Qingqian.

The first, needless to say, is the Prime Minister Han Wenxin, who is in charge of half of the country.

The second one is the little emperor who is young but represents the orthodoxy of Da Qi.

The third person is Meng Qingqian's biological mother, Queen Mother Li.

Although the Queen Mother is no longer involved in government affairs, she has no military power, and she does not have sufficient financial resources. At most, she can only use part of the resources belonging to her natal family, the Li family in Jiangnan. But she has a unique advantage against Meng Qingqian, that is, she is Meng Qingqian.

Qing Qian’s mother-in-law.

Needless to say, Qi State values ​​etiquette. Parents have a huge influence on their children.

No matter how powerful Meng Qingqian is, she still needs her mother's nod when it comes to marriage matters.

In other words, although the Queen Mother cannot hold Meng Qingqian's head and ask her to like whoever she likes, she can prevent Meng Qingqian from getting married. Therefore, if Yang Zhe wants to use his brain, in addition to Meng Qingqian himself, he must also please the Queen Mother

.

However, the Hexi Yang family had also heard of the Queen Mother's reputation before and felt that she was just mediocre and not something to worry about.

I never expected that the Queen Mother, who just went with the flow in government affairs, could be so strong-willed in the private affairs of her children.

When Yang Xingguang heard that the Queen Mother planned to give Xiaoyue to the He family, he immediately panicked.

Yang Xingguang knew that the Yang clan would have to be handed over to Yang Zhe sooner or later. After all, he was a rare scholar in Qi State in both civil and military affairs. And Yang Zhe, a nephew of the clan, was good at everything, but emotionally, he seemed to be obsessed.

Like a demon, he focused on Xiaoyue.

Xiaoyue is a woman with vision, ability, and skill. Not to mention Yin Jing, even the whole Qi State is rarely dissatisfied. If she can really combine with Yang Zhe, this couple can ensure the prosperity of the Yang family in Hexi for hundreds of years.

.

Therefore, Yang Xingguang himself and the Yang family almost abandoned their once swinging neutral stance and followed Yang Zhe to the Meng family.

Don’t ask for anything else, just people.

With people and their talents, any resources can be doubled.

Now that there are almost no people around, even Yang Xingguang, who always behaves in a sophisticated manner, is a little unsteady.

This is not only a matter of their children's affair, but also the countless resources invested by the Yang family in recent years. If they really can't marry Meng Qingqian, not only all of these resources will be wasted, but most of them will be lost.

Yang Xingguang did not bother to wipe the official uniform that was soaked with tea. He immediately stood up and knelt down, saluted and advised: "The Queen Mother, think twice! Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, is entangled in political affairs. She must not marry willfully, leaving me and others without a leader!"

Huang Qinghe saw that Yang Shangshu had taken the lead in the charge, so he naturally and neatly showed up to join the group, and also politely advised: "The Queen Mother, think twice!"

Nanzhu's marriage will not affect He Yuanhao's position, but Xiaoyue's marriage is different. Xiaoyue's marriage may really make He Yuanhao change his family. Han and Meng were originally balanced, but when He Yuanhao fell, the Meng family had the upper hand. This can be said

It is very detrimental to Dayan.

Lu Liang also chose to join the group: "The Queen Mother, think twice!"

Compared with them, Li Gongqin had the identity of a foreign relative. Although he was the Queen Mother's nephew, he also knew his aunt's temperament. He immediately called the clever maids in the Queen Mother's palace to go to Changhe Palace to invite the real master.

Then Li Gongqin also advised: "Queen Mother, it is best to ask Your Highness about your marriage."

He Yuanhao goes to court every day and is well aware of Meng Qingqian's ability. This time the Queen Mother intends to marry Meng Qingqian to the He family, which is the best. With Meng Qingqian's methods, she is not afraid that she will not be able to control He Yunxiao.

He Yuanhao simply said: "What the Queen Mother said is true. I didn't think carefully and didn't prepare all the betrothal gifts. After thinking about it again and again, I felt that adding more items to the gift list would be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it would be too much to ask the Queen Mother to read it again.

Trouble. I thought, why not do this, the Marquis Mansion will prepare another copy of the betrothal gift on this list, double the betrothal gift, and ask for the marriage of Princess Xiaoyue!"

The Queen Mother's eyes lit up.

She feels that a father is like his son, He Yunxiao is not simple, and He Yuanhao is also a talent!

One betrothal gift is indeed not enough, two is more than enough.

"Okay! I am very satisfied. Then let's forget this..."

Seeing that the Queen Mother was about to agree, Li Gongqin was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

He knew that it was impossible for his cousin to agree to this marriage, and he also knew that his aunt was just making quick remarks and could not count. However, his aunt's status was so extraordinary that it was not counted and it was inappropriate.

My aunt has always been weak in front of her cousin, and this matter can be resolved as long as Xiaoyue herself comes.

Li Gongqin frequently looked at the door of the palace, but he didn't see Meng Qingqian's figure for a long time.

Yang Xingguang is more anxious than Li Gongqin. To other families, Meng Qingqian's marriage is just a trivial matter such as watching the excitement, bleeding, and being leaderless. To the Yang family, this is a major event that affects the family's future for a century!

Let alone a hundred years, according to Yang Zhe's personality, when Meng Qingqian marries someone, he will be stupid at worst, and at worst he will cause trouble with the family and take revenge. In this way, it will not matter whether there is any Yang family in Hexi in the future.

knew.

He Yuanhao, this old guy, doesn't have any martial ethics at all, and he just launches a sneak attack!

Doubling the dowry on the spot is something that humans can do?

Yang Xingguang said in a deep voice: "The Queen Mother, think twice! Your Highness Xiaoyue's marriage needs long-term planning! Once Your Highness gets married, who will be in charge of us, the civil and military officials, and the various surnames of the noble families? Our emperor has a great country, who will take care of it in the future? Such as

Yang Zhe and other talented people from Qi who admire His Highness day and night, where will they go from here?"

The Queen Mother didn't think much about it at the time. After hearing what Yang Xingguang said, she became a little clearer about the situation.

Marrying Xiaoyue at this time is indeed a bit impulsive.

The Queen Mother said: "Wu Qinghou, please keep the gift list first. After three years, when Xiaoyue hands over power and the Holy Emperor comes to court, you can then..."

He Yuanhao put on the air of a general and said: "Queen Mother, please listen to what I have to say."

The Queen Mother said: "You say."

He Yuanhao said loudly: "It is said that a country cannot be without a king for a day, and I deeply believe that. But now, the king is still there, the ministers are still there, all the officials are still there, and the Qi army is still there. All the men of Qi are still alive, so why rely on one person

A weak woman struggling to support you? Our government's annual salary is more than one million, and there are tens of thousands of officials at all levels. If you can't make the decision in everything, and you have to rely on Your Highness to make decisions, what use does the court need from you?"

Huang Qinghe retorted: "Master He, you have the support of the Prime Minister, so you don't care about our pain!"

He Yuanhao waved his sleeves and said proudly: "Okay! I will take off this official uniform tomorrow, let the eldest princess live in the palace, and put on my armor to guard the border!"

When Lu Liang heard that He Yuanhao was guarding the border, he thought to himself: That's not possible. If you are guarding the border, how can the Yan army go south?

The lesser of two evils, Lu Liang was more afraid of He Yuanhao going to guard the border than Qi State's Meng Qiang and Han Ruo, so he immediately rebelled and said: "Queen Mother! I suddenly felt that it would be really great for Your Highness Xiaoyue to marry into the Hou Mansion!"

Seeing Lu Liang's defection, Yang Xingguang no longer cared about his dignity.

He said on the spot: "Queen Mother! Since ancient times, marriages have always been about well-matched families. Your Highness Xiaoyue has a distinguished family background, and if you want to marry, you must marry the lord of the country. For a more modest one, it must be the residence of a duke who has been in the family for generations, or a powerful family. The He family is just a newcomer.

How can the Marquis's mansion be suitable for His Royal Highness the Princess to marry and live in?"

As soon as Yang Xingguang said this, everyone was shocked.

He Yuanhao became a general, with a rank of second rank. In the entire Yinjing, there are very few people who dare to say that the He family or his family is not good, and those who are qualified to say that the He family is not good. However, the Yang family in Hexi and other wealthy families are both civil and military.

, both black and white, a century-old roly-poly, with mixed forces, and a big tree with deep roots. It can indeed suppress the newly promoted Hou Mansion in terms of the foundation of the family.

Everyone knows that an aristocratic family can dominate the Marquis's house, but it takes great courage to dare to humiliate the Marquis in public.

The Queen Mother's palace was as silent as a cicada for a while.

At this moment, I heard a piece of metal falling to the ground, like thunder exploding in my ears.

"Bang!"

Before anyone could see clearly what the fallen object was, Wu Qinghou He Yuanhao picked it up first.
Chapter completed!
