Since the early Ming Dynasty, Silla has been a vassal of the Ming Dynasty. As a vassal state, it has always kept its peace and paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty. It has never caused any trouble.
And now he takes the initiative to apply for marriage proposal. To be honest, Zhu Gaotian really can't think of any reason to refuse this matter.
And it was mentioned in the letter that the three princesses of Silla were getting married together!
My attitude and process have been reduced to this. If you don't accept it anymore, I'll slap my little brother hard in the face.
"Your Majesty is famous for his heroic deeds, and his reputation has spread all over the world. I think those princesses from Silla also heard about your majesty's heroic deeds, so they felt hopeful and planned to be with your majesty..."
"Yang Aiqing, you know that I really have no intention of raising a harem right now!"
Zhu Gaoyuan's face became embarrassed,
"If I had this intention, I would have married Deng Rong, who I brought here from western Sichuan!"
To be honest, due to his busy schedule during this period, Zhu Gaotian almost forgot to bring such a big living person back.
And because Deng Rong was brought back by Zhu Gaoyang, the entire court was very curious about her, but no one dared to go beyond her.
What a joke, this is a beauty brought back by His Majesty himself. If His Majesty is in a good mood and takes her for granted, then Deng Rong will be his concubine in the future. If you dare to cuckold His Majesty, the entire nine tribes will be fed up with their lives.
Come on!
"Your Majesty, this marriage is not so easy to refuse. If your Majesty has a few brothers or sons, it would be fine, but now there is only one person in the entire direct royal family!"
The King of Han and so on, deserved to die, disappeared, and now Zhu Gaojing is still very young and has not conceived a son or a daughter with the queen.
It can be said that he is the only one in the entire royal family now.
Silla has given me such a favor, but you, the boss, have refused, which will inevitably cause Silla to be dissatisfied.
"I have recommended it to you. No matter what, I cannot agree to this matter!"
I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so what if I reject their princess’s proposal?
"But, Your Majesty, if this matter spreads out, other countries that have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty may also have second thoughts!"
The speed with which Zhu Gaoyang expanded his territory was obvious to all. The originally large nomadic people were forced to become homeless.
Can they not be afraid?
Their marriage this time was not only to show their surrender, but also to test Zhu Gaoyan's intentions. In ancient times, no one cared about how many concubines a man married, let alone the emperor who was the emperor.
Therefore, if the Ming Dynasty had no intention of invading them, then there is a high probability that the emperor would agree to this idea.
But if this marriage is rejected, it is very likely that the Ming Dynasty is already planning their land and population.
The surrounding subordinate countries will become in danger, and may even unite with the coalition forces of the northern barbarians!
Yang Shiqi knew what to do, and Zhu Gaotian's psychology was naturally clear as well.
"They can think whatever they want, but I won't agree to this anyway!"
Zhu Gaotian puffed up his chest and stared at Yang Shiqi. This is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I have the final say on this matter!
"Well, since His Majesty insists on doing this, then this is the only way!"
"Your Majesty, I think your Majesty should agree to this marriage!"
Good guy, Zhu Gaotian turned around and found that Zhang Yingzhen had walked into the imperial study at some unknown time!
Who notified the queen? Who else could this person be besides Yang Shiqi?
You two have already planned this, right?
"My beloved concubine, didn't I tell you before? Before next year, I won't know how to..."
"Shh!"
Zhu Gaotian wanted to say something else, but Zhang Yingzhen stopped him.
"I know what your Majesty wants to say, but I am not a fool. Does your Majesty plan to use large-scale troops against the surrounding areas in one year?"
When asked this way, Zhu Gaoying nodded. Apparently, Zhang Yingzhen had seen through his little thoughts.
"After one year, will His Majesty refuse my concubine's request to expand your harem because he is busy with war affairs?"
"My dear concubine, I do what I say, and it is definitely not what you think!"
Zhu Gaotian wanted to continue to defend, but Zhang Yingzhen shook her head and expressed disbelief.
"Since Your Majesty is interested in having a concubine, why does Silla refuse to accept the proposal of marriage now?"
"What's more, Your Majesty should also know what is behind Silla's coming to marry Your Majesty this time!"
Zhu Gaotian wanted to interject, but Zhang Yingzhen did not give him this chance.
"I remember that Your Majesty once gave me the right to participate in political affairs, and this marriage matter naturally includes midterms!"
"I can't take care of government affairs, military affairs, or financial affairs, but it's time for me to take charge of diplomatic matters!"
Zhang Yingzhen has been tough for a rare time, and I have to say that now, she really seems to have the demeanor of a queen.
"So this matter is decided by my concubine. Yang Shiqi, hurry up and give Silla a receipt and say that I, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, agreed to this marriage!"
"The humble minister Yang Shiqi accepted the order and drafted the document!"
As Yang Shiqi spoke, he looked at Zhu Gaoying out of the corner of his eye.
I found that the emperor was not angry or angry at all, but just a little helpless and relieved.
"That's all, it's rare for my concubine to be the master of the matter, so let's follow my concubine's wishes in this matter!"
Done!
Zhang Yingzhen was secretly happy, and Yang Shiqi was also overjoyed.
"I'm really tired. You all should step aside. I'll go check out the memorial here first, and then I'll go back to the harem to rest after the approval is completed!"
Alas, these two people!
Forget it, they are also thinking about me, so I won’t embarrass them and just follow their wishes.
Until the end, Zhu Gaoyan also saw it.
At this period in history, Silla did not have any compatibility with the Ming Dynasty, but it happened to him not long after he took the throne. How could he not make Zhu Gaoyun suspicious?
Moreover, although the handwriting on this booklet was deliberately uglified and distorted by the person who wrote it, making it look like it was written by a layman, Zhu Gaotian couldn't be more familiar with this beautiful handwriting!
These are clearly the words written by Queen Zhang Yingzhen!
Coupled with the successful expressions on their faces at the end, even a fool can understand what is going on.
It was clear that Zhang Yingzhen and Yang Shiqi jointly wrote a fake memorial, and then pretended that Silla and Ming Dynasty were getting married.
Then move it with emotion and understand it with reason.
"Forget it, just agree, and let them be happy so that they don't have to work for me anymore because of this matter!"
