"Brother Gong, I don't have much confidence in this battle." Emperor Jing Xing shook his head and sighed.
When Queen Lu heard this, she also frowned.
If the King of Zhongshan can't stand up to Tuoba Tianhan, then looking at the entire Daqian, who else can stand up to him?
"So, he wrote a letter to ask Zhaoyang to get married as soon as possible."
After hearing these words, Queen Lu's heart completely sank to the bottom of her heart.
For King Liu Gong of Zhongshan, the most precious thing is this daughter.
If the situation was optimistic enough, we would never urge it like this.
I sent Zhaoyang to Qiandu before because I just felt that northern Xinjiang was not safe.
Now I am afraid that I feel that the situation in northern Xinjiang is complicated and unpredictable.
I was afraid that I might die at any time, so I wanted to find someone to rely on for Princess Zhaoyang.
"Let the Queen handle this matter." Emperor Jing Xing sighed again. He sighed especially frequently tonight.
"I know that this matter will be handled properly." Empress Lu nodded gently and said softly.
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I'm not in a hurry to finish it before the new year. I'll let Zhaoyang get married when spring comes after the new year."
"Send the selected people to Northern Xinjiang and ask Gongdi to take a look at them too, so that he can feel at ease."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely be able to choose a suitable husband for Zhaoyang."
"Well, over the years, I have always felt at ease when the queen was doing things."
"Just remember not to tell Zhaoyang about this matter in Northern Xinjiang."
"Child, it's better to keep less pretense in your mind."
Empress Lu nodded. Da Gan's master is still alive, so naturally it won't be the turn of his descendants to shoulder the responsibility.
The next day, after Empress Lu returned to Renshou Palace, she summoned Zhaoyang, Huaiqing and Prince Liu Yu to have a meal together.
During the meal, she looked at Zhaoyang, then at Huaiqing, sighed silently in her heart, and then said: "Zhaoyang, you have been here for a long time."
"What do you think of these young talents in the capital?"
"Do you have someone you like? Your Majesty and your father's intention is to get married to you as soon as possible."
As soon as these words came out, Princess Zhaoyang's face suddenly turned red, but Huaiqing was still eating his food, showing no signs of happiness or anger.
"I have built the capital for me, and there are countless young talents. I am a daughter of a family, so where can I see it? Naturally, it all depends on the empress." Zhaoyang said with a blushing face.
"In this case, I will hold an exam every year and there will be many talented people."
"Spring is not far away now, why not choose a good son-in-law among those who have passed the imperial examination?" Empress Lu said with a slight smile in her eyes.
As expected, after hearing this, Zhaoyang immediately became anxious and said nervously: "The Jinshi in Qiandu City are naturally talented in literature."
"It's just that my father served in the army as a general after all, and he had many disagreements with scholars."
"If I get along with a scholar, I'm afraid...I'm afraid my father won't agree." Princess Zhaoyang's deer-like eyes were filled with cunning.
When Empress Lu heard this, she couldn't help laughing: "Girl, you clearly don't like literati, yet you insist on blaming it on your father."
After the plan was discovered, Zhaoyang looked slightly embarrassed, stuck out his tongue, and smiled politely.
"In that case, how about choosing a good son-in-law among the noble sons?"
"It's good." Princess Zhaoyang nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"How is Zhang Han? Zhang Xun has been fighting for me for many years, and has made many military exploits and outstanding achievements. Zhang Xun is his son, who is smart and has a great strategy."
"Even in the school reading test and the urban and rural examinations, I got the second best result in succession."
"In the future, it would be great to inherit the mantle of my father and become a Confucian general."
"The prince is familiar with him, tell me what he is like."
When Liu Yu saw Empress Lu calling him, he stopped eating and said, "Old Zhang, it's quite good."
"He's very clever and has great ideas."
"It will definitely be no problem to become a Confucian general in the future."
"To be a general, you don't have to be able to fight, just be able to lead troops!"
"And Lao Zhang has read almost all the military books available."
"In my opinion, he must be a great talent!"
"It's just... I'm a bit more bookish, and I like to follow a certain etiquette in everything."
"Well, what the prince said is quite to the point, Zhaoyang, what do you think?" Empress Lu smiled, but what she said made Zhaoyang want to cry.
Her face was red and her forehead was dripping with sweat, but she couldn't say a word for a long time.
Because she really couldn't think of any reason to refuse.
In terms of family background, she is the son of the Duke of the country, so marrying her, the daughter of a prince, is not a high-achievement.
In terms of talent, he is really good. Among all the distinguished disciples in Qiandu City, he can be regarded as the best.
After thinking about it, I still have to use my father to block the knife!
So he said: "Father, he... doesn't like bookishness very much."
"Yes, Prince Zhang is certainly very good, but as a son, you should think more about your father." After saying that, Zhaoyang let out a sigh of relief and secretly praised his wit and adaptability.
When Empress Lu saw this, she could only smile and said: "This is natural. We in Zhaoyang are filial children who take a pee."
Hearing this, Princess Zhaoyang's face turned even redder. Is this considered a strange act?
"What about Zhu Ben? He is the son of Marquis Yangcheng, although his family background is somewhat different."
"But Zhu Ben has everything in his literary, Taoist and military strategies."
"He is a rough and unconventional person, so he should be in line with the King of Zhongshan's temperament."
"Prince, what do you think?"
"Lao Zhu?" Liu Yu had a strange look on his face and murmured: "He is a very good person, but...how should I put it, he loves to show his holiness in front of others!"
"He is too arrogant. If my son ascends the throne in the future, I won't be able to trust him to lead an army alone."
"To appoint this person as a general, you need to be matched with a more active and calm strategist or join the army."
"However, Lao Zhu's behavior is indeed somewhat heroic, which should be in line with Uncle Wang's temper in Zhongshan."
After the two of them finished talking, Princess Zhaoyang seemed to put on a mask of pain.
I wonder why there is Zhang Han and Zhu Ben left!
Why don't you pick the important ones?
But the other three people at the dinner table were watching her, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Although Crown Prince Zhu is said to be heroic, I heard that he often hangs around in the streets, loves flying eagles and lackeys, and fights insects. "
"My father should still prefer young talents who are more motivated." Princess Zhaoyang forced herself to finish speaking.
Unexpectedly, Empress Lu straightened her face and pretended to be angry: "This won't work, and that won't work either."
"I asked you if you have someone you like, and you said it's all up to me."
"Are you kidding me?"
Seeing Empress Lu getting angry, Zhaoyang's deer-like eyes showed a bit of fear, and he immediately lowered his head, not daring to speak.
"Mother, I see you talking so much, why have you forgotten Lao Li?"
"Old Li has not yet reached the title, but he is already a sixth-grade Cavalry General!" Liu Yu saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he quickly spoke to calm down.
