The facts turned out to be what Wei Zijin and Xiao Jingyao had expected. Hou Yan's marriage letter was submitted soon after, and Xiao Heng agreed wholeheartedly. He mentioned the matter in the early court, and most of the civil and military officials in the court also thought of the marriage.
It is conducive to good relations between the two countries.
Although some ministers who had always been at loggerheads with the Li family in Zhao County were unhappy, they did not dare to question the marriage in front of the emperor, so the marriage was quickly settled.
After leaving the court, many ministers gathered around Li Yuanzhe and congratulated him one after another: "Congratulations to Mr. Chen Guo, you are about to marry the famous Princess of Houyan. I heard that the princess of Houyan is the most beautiful woman in Houyan, and a talented man matches a beautiful woman.
Congratulations!"
"Yes, although Hou Yan's national power is not as good as our Dayin, the status of Princess Hou Yan's marriage to Chen Guogong is quite worthy..."
"That's right, Duke Chen Guo and Princess Hou Yan are such a talented couple..."
When Li Yuanzhe heard the compliments from these ministers, he just smiled and said nothing.
Some ministers were angry when they heard the compliments from these people, and couldn't help but say: "Since it's a marriage, many of us in Dayin are princes, but I don't know why Lord Houyan wanted the princess to marry Chen Guogong instead of choosing someone else.
Where is the prince!"
"Chen Guogong has not yet married, so the Lord of Later Yan must have inquired about it. In addition, Chen Guogong is handsome and well-known, so the Lord of Later Yan chose Chen Guogong. Why not?" Some people felt that the minister's words were really unpleasant.
Li Yuanzhe, the Duke of Chen, replied in spite of his injustice.
"Speaking of princes who have not yet married a wife but are handsome in appearance, there are many princes, and Prince Wuling is one of them!" Chief Fang Shixian said with a smile, pointing the finger at Prince Wuling Xiao Rong.
Xiao Rong frowned slightly, glanced at Fang Shixian displeasedly, and said lightly: "Although I have not yet married a wife, there are many concubines in the house, and I have no intention of getting married. Master Fang said this, is it because he wants to let me
Are there any quarrels with Chen Guogong?"
Xiao Rong, King of Wuling, is the youngest among many princes. He always speaks to the point. In addition, his father is the emperor's brother. Because he died in battle, he was named the loyal king, so his status is quite high among the princes, and he also raises
He has become a straightforward person!
Fang Shixian's face changed slightly, and he quickly raised his hands and said, "I don't dare!"
After King Wuling's words, several ministers who originally wanted to take the opportunity to stir up trouble also fell silent and did not dare to say any more nonsense.
"The marriage between the two countries is a happy event, so why do you need to discuss it?" Xiao Jinyao also spoke slowly, and said with a smile to Xiao Rong, King of Wuling on the side: "Although you have concubines in your house, after all, you still lack a princess! Before the emperor,
Still talking about choosing a princess for you..."
When Xiao Rong heard this, his brows furrowed even more tightly, and he said with a grimace: "My nephew has not planned to marry a concubine so soon!"
Chen Guogong Li Yuanzhe couldn't help but laugh. Just as he was about to say something, Chen Rong, the eunuch in charge, hurriedly came to them and said to Li Yuanzhe, Xiao Jingyao and Xiao Rong: "Chen Guogong, King Luoyang, King Wuling, the emperor has summoned you for something.
!”
Several people looked at each other, nodded and followed the eunuch in charge Chen Rong to the Council Hall. In addition to Emperor Xiao Heng, there were also Prince Xiao Changgong and Grand Tutor Shen Rui.
"I summoned you here because I want to talk to you about the Northern Wei Dynasty..." Xiao Heng asked a few people to sit down, ordered the eunuch to serve tea, and said slowly: "I, Dayin, have fought with the Northern Wei Dynasty several times, and every time
There is no distinction between superior and inferior, which really gives me a headache!"
