Under Shen Jiao's governance, the Wei Dynasty was a vast sea, with clear seas and clear rivers, and prosperity. She, the young empress, was already known as the Mingjun by the people.
As for the Wei court officials~
None of them could make trouble under Emperor Qingyuan, let alone under Shen Jiao, who behaved like a grandson.
When Emperor Qingyuan saw this, he really let go and ignored the government affairs.
After the grand ceremony of Shen Jiao's coronation, Emperor Qingyuan once again took the Queen to the south of the Yangtze River, stopping at Changzhou and Lizhou along the way, but she has not returned yet.
After Shen Jiao urged him, he wrote a letter to Shen Jiao, saying, "Your father and I have been in office for so many years and have worked so hard that I am tired and vomiting blood. Now that I have finally had some leisure time to recuperate, you still urge me to return to Beijing?"
When I got back, those courtiers kept mumbling in my ears, which made my head hurt. Is this how you are filial to your father?
Your father, I will not go back!
Shen Jiao:......
OK!
She stopped urging him. Emperor Qingyuan seemed to be getting older and rebellious, and she was too lazy to care.
The form of Daliang, which is adjacent to the Wei Dynasty, is completely different from that of the Wei Dynasty.
The new emperor of Daliang, Fu Youan, was a true tyrant. He forced the courtiers of Daliang to become extremely forbearing and obey Fu Youan's arrangements in everything.
Not to mention raising objections, that means not even daring to say a word of advice.
At this juncture, Emperor Liang proposed a marriage alliance with Wei Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, Emperor Liang is afraid that the person who came here is evil~"
Several pavilion elders frowned one by one. They all felt that Fu Youan's trip was not well-intentioned, and they did not agree to accept the marriage.
After all, who knows if Daliang will send a spy or assassin?
Shen Jiao chuckled, "What if Emperor Liang comes to get married?"
What?
The elders had questions on their faces.
What does it mean for Emperor Liang to come and get married?
Is it possible that Emperor Liang is planning to marry Princess Wei as his queen?
They sent people to Daliang... This matter can be discussed.
"The sixth princess and the seventh princess are just the right age. If they are to get married, the seventh princess is too docile. I think the sixth princess is better."
Shen Jiao heard this but smiled and said nothing.
When the elders saw this, they couldn't figure out what she meant. But seeing that Shen Jiao didn't object, they probably knew it in their hearts - it seems that both the Emperor and Emperor Liang are bound to win this marriage~
Half a month later, Fu You'an entered the capital in person and was welcomed in by the ministers of Honglu Temple. All food and clothing were provided according to the highest standards.
However, they also couldn't figure out why Fu Youan came to Wei in person?
If you want to get married, don't you just send envoys to discuss it? As the emperor, coming in person, doesn't it mean that Daliang is shorter than Wei?
Tsk~
I don’t understand!
Soon, Shen Jiao arranged a birthday banquet to welcome Fu Youan to Beijing. After three rounds of drinking, when everyone saw Fu Youan standing up, they knew it was time to get down to business.
"The current political situation in the Wei Dynasty is clear and the people live and work in peace and contentment, all because of the emperor's resourcefulness. When we were in the palace of the Wei Dynasty earlier, I had a very good relationship with the emperor..."
As usual, Fu You'an first gave a wave of extremely sincere compliments, and his affectionate eyes seemed to make Shen Jiao tear up when he looked at her.
The ministers of the Wei Dynasty were also very happy to hear this. They all looked happy and stroked their long beards happily, knowing that Fu Youan was about to talk about the marriage.
as expected.
Fu Youan then said, "I am willing to use Daliang as a gift to marry into the Wei Dynasty and form a good marriage between the two surnames..."
Before he finished speaking, one of the ministers accidentally tore off his beard, and another choked on his wine and coughed. The courtiers were in various situations for a while.
etc!
Did they hear it correctly?
Marrying into the Wei Dynasty with Daliang as dowry???
Meow meow meow, is there something wrong with the emperor Daliang?
The ministers of the Wei Dynasty all looked at the envoy of Daliang with incredulous and extremely shocked eyes.
Upon seeing this, the envoy of Daliang opened his mouth and smiled, with numbness and despair written all over his face!
What can we do with such an emperor on the stand?
Can we still persuade him?
Come on, it would be nice if he didn't drag us out and behead us!
Anyway, this beam does not belong to their family. The emperor can do whatever he likes. They are really tired!
When the ministers of the Wei Dynasty saw their expressions, they realized - look, the ministers of the Liang Dynasty were so tortured that they didn't even have any objections to this ridiculous marriage. How pitiful~
Then everyone looked at Fu Youan again and were surprised to see him looking at Shen Jiao with a gentle look on his face.
Unexpectedly, this tyrant of Daliang turned out to be a love brain.
Such a huge beam~I gave it away as soon as I said it, and I just asked for the position of queen~
This deal is simply not a good deal!
The elders who wanted to understand began to wink at Shen Jiao frequently.
Your Majesty, if you miss this village, there won’t be this store. While Fu Youan is not clear-headed at the moment, let’s agree quickly!
Shen Jiao coughed lightly, "This matter is of great importance. I need to think carefully for a few days before talking about it."
When the elders heard this, they were eager to agree on Shen Jiao's behalf, but there was a palace banquet going on at the moment, so they had to put this aside first.
After seeing off Fu Youan, the elders looked at each other, packed up and went to see Shen Jiao.
"Your Majesty, you must not miss this opportunity!"
"Your Majesty, once the Emperor of Daliang is obtained, Daliang will not be afraid of him. The position of a queen can be exchanged for the entire Daliang. Why not do it?"
"I second the proposal!"
Shen Jiao rubbed her chin and began to pick at her, "But I am only fourteen this year."
"It's time to establish a queen!"
"What if the Emperor of Liang has any rebellious intentions?"
"Once the Emperor of Liang arrives in the Wei Dynasty, he will not be able to use any means, so there is no need to worry at all."
No matter what faults Shen Jiao brought out, the elders would have thousands of reasons to refute them.
Shen Jiao pretended to be persuaded and nodded slightly, but her expression was not very good, "Okay, in that case, when you get back, you will write the instructions for installing the beams and give them to me in a few days."
"I obey your orders."
The elders all bowed and retreated.
After leaving the Qinzheng Hall, the elders couldn't help but sigh, "Emperor Daliang has a violent temper, and it is inevitable that the emperor will persuade him. Besides, he is not liked by the emperor. For the sake of Dawei, I really wronged the emperor."
Yes.
In the eyes of the elders, this marriage will be of great benefit to the Wei Dynasty. However, if the emperor and empress do not get along in the future, for the sake of the territory of Daliang, the emperor will have to make concessions to Fu Youan...
All in all, Shen Jiao was the victim in this political marriage, or she was persuaded and forced by them.
They have no choice but to work for the Wei Dynasty and sacrifice their lives for Shen Jiao in the future, so that they can be worthy of Shen Jiao's sacrifice!
As for Shen Jiao, who was 'forced to sacrifice' her marriage, she was lazily leaning on the dragon chair. Fu Youan gently stroked her head with a smile on his lips, "Is it fun?"
Shen Jiao raised her eyebrows slightly, "Why isn't it fun? It's just a trick to win over the loyalty of the courtiers~"
Saying that, Shen Jiao hooked her hand and kissed the side of Fu You'an's face while he was leaning over, "Brother You'an, you know very well how I feel about you, so why worry about such a trivial matter."
