Chapter three hundred and thirty sixth encounter old
Chen Huang's thoughts were very dangerous, and he was asked to marry Miss Li out of nowhere, not to mention that Xiao Ru and Xiao Yi would not agree, not even Tang Yaoyao would agree.
What's more, their relationship hasn't reached that point yet.
However, he is the emperor, and the emperor can do whatever he wants without being unreasonable. If he really forces him to do so, he will not be able to resist. What should he do then - this is really a headache.
Chen Huang looked at him and swallowed back what he was about to say.
"You guys..." He pointed at Prince Huai, Prince Fu and Tang Ning, waved his hand and said, "If I appoint one person, it would appear that I am partial and unfair, so why not let Princess Changning make her own choice."
In ancient times, only the emperor chose a princess to marry at random, but rarely let the princess choose her husband. However, the political marriage between Chen and Chu was originally for exchange, and there was not so much emphasis on it.
Emperor Chen summoned him to the palace this time to order this matter.
On this mission to Chu State, he, as the wedding envoy, not only escorted the princess, but also had to shoulder the important task of proposing a marriage. The burden on his shoulders was not light.
Regarding the marriage, neither King Kang nor King Duan had any dispute with each other, and they broke up unhappy.
Tang Ning and King Huai walked out of the hall together. King Huai turned to look at him and said with a smile, "It's a long way to Chu State. Mr. Tang has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, so please take care of yourself."
Tangning cupped her hands and said, "Thank you for your concern, His Highness King Huai."
He was not familiar with King Huai, but had only met once. After exchanging pleasantries, he walked down the steps and left.
Prince Fu walked out of the palace and stood beside Prince Huai. He looked at Tang Ning's leaving figure with a smile on his face and said, "This number one scholar is actually a rare smart person."
"What are you talking about, Uncle Emperor?" Prince Huai put his hands in his sleeves, shrugged and said, "There have only been a few number one scholars in the Three Yuan Dynasties since ancient times, but they don't just have to study hard.
"
Prince Fu looked at him with a warm smile on his face, and asked: "It is said that Princess Changning's daughter is the most beautiful girl in the country. She is good at literature and martial arts. She is also the daughter of the regent and has a respected status. Don't you plan to fight for it?"
"Spare me..." King Huai shook his head resolutely and said: "Not to mention that the two royal brothers can't get through it, I can't explain it to my princess, uncle Wang, aren't you trying to kill me?
"
Prince Fu laughed and said: "As a child of the royal family, he is so afraid of his own country. Apart from the princess, there is no concubine in the palace, but he will be laughed at."
King Huai looked at him, shook his head and said: "People often say that it takes fifty steps to laugh at a hundred steps. How come Uncle Wang laughs at fifty steps after a hundred steps? You are not afraid of people's jokes, but do you dare to say what you just said in front of the princess?
Once?"
King Fu was furious when he heard this: "What do you mean? No matter how big or small, where have you learned all the etiquette..."
…
When Tang Ning walked out of the palace, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. The emperor was still as indecisive as ever when encountering major events.
However, his indecisiveness this time was exactly what Tang Ning wanted. The power of sending out weddings and proposing marriages was entirely in his hands. Who knows how many gifts King Kang will secretly send after he returns.
He originally thought that Emperor Chen's proposal to the Chu State was just to make the relationship between the two countries closer, but the few ambiguous words that Emperor Chen said in the hall today made him understand Emperor Chen's true intention.
The situation of the royal family of Chu State was much more complicated than that of Chen State.
The Emperor of Chu has been dead for a long time, and the prince is incompetent and immoral. However, there is a regent in the court who has both political integrity and outstanding ability, and is loved by all. After the death of the Emperor of Chu, it is not certain who will take the throne.
It would be good if the crown prince of Chu came to the throne, but if the one who came to the throne was King Xin, then this marriage would be meaningless, and it would even put Zhao Man in a dangerous situation.
But if both marriages are successful, it will not make much difference to the Chen State whether the Crown Prince of Chu ascends to the throne or King Xin ascends to the throne.
No matter what the future holds for Chu State, Chen State will not suffer any loss. This is Chen Huang's wishful thinking.
For the benefit of the country, it is possible to sacrifice the happiness and even the life of his own daughter. This is probably the nature of an emperor.
Tang Ning didn't plan to tell Zhao Man this, she just wanted to be a silly Baitian.
He suppressed these thoughts temporarily, passed by the Imperial Academy, and saw someone walking out of the courtyard.
At this time, it was already past the office hours. Unexpectedly, there were still people working overtime in the Hanlin Academy. After taking a closer look, I found that the person who walked out was actually Fang Zhe.
Fang Zhe is both a minister of the household department and a bachelor of attendant, so he has two yamen to choose from on weekdays. The same goes for Tang Ning, who is a doctor of the household department and a bachelor of attendant.
"Master Fang, stay here." Tangning thought of something and called him to stop her.
Fang Zhe turned around, and Tang Ning took out a sachet from her arms and handed it over, saying, "Xiaoyue forgot this at my house. Master Fang helped her take it back."
Xiaoxiao and Fang Xinyue were originally going to catch dragonflies. They were worried that they would lose the sachet while jumping up and down, so they asked Tangning to keep it first. Since they met Fang Zhe, they just asked him to take it back.
Fang Zhe took the sachet and asked casually: "Your Majesty summoned you?"
Tangning nodded.
Fang Zhe put the sachet away and asked: "I just saw that King Kang, King Duan, and King Huai passed by. They must have been talking about the proposal to marry Princess Changning of the Chu Kingdom. Your Majesty has entrusted this errand to you?"
Tangning actually didn't want to talk to Fang Zhe. Although he liked Fang Xiaoyue very much, he didn't like her scheming father.
"Your Majesty has confidence in you." Fang Zhe said as he walked away: "However, you took the initiative to join the Ministry of Etiquette, worked hard to be the wedding messenger, and traveled thousands of miles from the capital to the Chu Kingdom. You should not only want to send the princess away
Getting married?"
Tangning paused and asked, "What do you want to say, Mr. Fang?"
Fang Zhe stood at the gate of the palace and said: "Young people, you still need to know the heights of the sky and what you can and cannot do. If you knock an egg against a rock or a worm against a tree, you will only bring about your own destruction."
After he finished speaking, he walked slowly outside the palace.
Tang Ning was silent for a moment and then said, "It seems that Mr. Fang knew that the sky was high and the sky was high and he knew what to do. That's why he wasted fourteen years in the Hanlin Academy and accumulated a lot of knowledge. Once he had an epiphany, he was able to enter the household department.
The all-powerful court..."
Fang Zhe stopped in his tracks, remembering something, and clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves.
When Tang Ning walked past him, she paused again and asked, "If Master Fang was given another chance, would you have chosen not to know the heights of the world, or would you have chosen to know the pros and cons, advance and retreat, and become the Minister of Household Affairs fourteen years later?"
"
Without waiting for Fang Zhe's answer, he left directly and disappeared into the crowded flow of people on the street.
Fang Zhe stood there for a long time before slowly loosening his clenched fists in his sleeves and letting out a long sigh of relief.
Tangning was walking on the street, but her heart was not as relaxed as it was two days ago.
He could tell that Fang Zhe was reminding him that the interests of both countries were involved, and one mistake could lead to disaster.
Although he is confident, he must be fully prepared before leaving.
He was thinking about something in his mind, and when he was passing somewhere on the street, he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the shop next to him.
He turned around and saw several clerks running out of a drug store on the street in panic.
A strong man strode out of the medicine shop, holding a girl in one hand and carrying a butcher's knife in the other. He said angrily: "Quick doctor, take your life!"
Looking at the strong man, Tang Ning stood on the street with a stunned expression.
