Chapter 805 How about I give your family a mediator?
Neither Lin Ruhai nor Lin Zhao had the brains of Jia Zheng to consider putting his daughter into the palace.
However, the other party is the emperor after all. Once the words are spoken, I am afraid that I will not have the right to refuse.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Lin Ruhai was stunned and speechless for a moment, and she didn't know what to say for a while. She was so panic-stricken that she wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it, wanted to refuse but couldn't say anything, and it was vividly displayed.
Lin Zhao watched from the side and secretly praised it in his heart.
How about training people with officialdom experience?
I think that when Lin Ruhai, who was a bit pedantic and a bit straight, went to Yangzhou to take office, he probably hadn't evolved to this point yet.
What are Oscar winners in comparison?
Lin Zhao didn't want to take advantage of me to show off his acting skills, so he handed over his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I have discussed with my father and mother many times that my sister wants to get married. She needs to find someone who is not tolerant and whose family background, status and character are worthy of her.
The man who slept with my sister. Your Majesty is asking, but do you want to protect a matchmaker?"
Emperor Xiaode nodded: "Yes, why don't I call you two here?"
ah?
Lin Ruhai and Lin Zhao looked at each other and couldn't help but be stunned.
This emperor is actually here to protect the media?
A bit unconventional!
But since the emperor is acting as a matchmaker, I'm afraid the other party's status will not be low.
Even if Zhang Tingyu, the chief minister of the cabinet, wanted to marry the Lin family, there was no need for the emperor to do it himself.
"Your Majesty wants to protect the matchmaker?" Lin Zhao took a step forward and cleverly blocked what Lin Ruhai wanted to say.
"Your Majesty, although my sister is good at writing and has extraordinary talents in tailoring and managing a family, I am unwilling to marry her into the royal family. As for the reason, I don't want to say more. Your Majesty understands."
Lin Zhao's words made Lin Ruhai tremble all over, her legs went weak, and she almost knelt down and kowtowed.
But he was also an old fox, so he didn't kneel down when he saw that Emperor Xiao De, Dai Quan, and Tong Lin in the corner all looked normal.
Emperor Xiaode waved his hand and said: "Hey, you can't say that. Are there some things that can be discussed?"
"Discuss?" Lin Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Sage, you don't have enough money in the treasury?"
Emperor Xiaode sighed and said helplessly: "I have no choice. I made a decree to eliminate the childless country before, but I just wanted to push those bastards to develop Northern Xinjiang, but to push them, we must have someone.
Driven by visible interests, shouldn’t I use the national treasury to give them a little sweetener?”
Lin Zhao immediately got off the donkey along the slope, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is far-sighted and talented. Since ancient times, there is no wiser person than your Majesty. If everything goes according to your Majesty's strategy, a hundred years from now, the northern frontier of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be worry-free."
Emperor Xiaode chuckled: "You kid, stop flattering me. I just want some talents to come out of the clan and meritorious deeds."
Lin Zhaodao: "Your Majesty is wise, I believe that with the development of Northern Xinjiang, the fiefdoms of the princes and princesses' clans can be sealed. The princes and princesses on the right can take it from afar and send special personnel to take care of it. That prince is ambitious.
, it doesn’t matter where you go and do it yourself. Your Majesty, a large part of the reason for the collapse of the former Ming Dynasty was the expense of the clan. As a royal family, clan salary is indispensable, but there are too many princes and princesses, which is enough to bring down the former Ming Dynasty. The Supreme Emperor
During the forty-five years of his reign, twelve princes have grown up. The youngest, Prince Heng, seems to be only sixteen years old this year. He is younger than Prince Ding and Prince Yi. No wonder Your Majesty..."
Lin Zhao talked without hesitation, but when he got here, he suddenly paused and said suspiciously: "The person your Majesty wants to talk about is Prince Heng, right?"
Emperor Xiaode smiled and said, "Isn't he bad?"
Royal blood, can it be bad?
The corner of Lin Zhao's mouth twitched, and he wanted to ask Emperor Xiao De: "Is Prince Yi Zhong not good?"
But of course he wouldn't ask.
Although Prince Heng was born to the Supreme Emperor, because of his young age, his biological mother was only a low-ranking concubine, and she died early due to poor health. The Supreme Emperor ignored everything and only wanted to have fun. So Prince Heng is the youngest brother of Emperor Xiaode, so it is better to say that he is the younger brother of Emperor Xiaode.
He was his son. He had been taken care of by the Queen since he was a child and raised by Emperor Xiaode himself. His affection was extraordinary. After he was fifteen years old, he left the palace to build a mansion. The saint not only accompanied a full set of servants, but also granted him a title.
The single word "prince" is enough to show the great favor.
Emperor Xiaode said: "Heng'er is a prince, and your sister has been a princess since she passed away. She has a distinguished status. Moreover, Heng'er's biological mother died young, and the emperor and the queen mother raised them in the palace. They have many concubines and are taken care of by the palace attendants, so your sister does not have to wait on her.
, as long as you come in as usual to say hello every month, you will still be the master of the house when you go back, you don’t have to be suppressed by your mother-in-law, and you are still a member of the royal family, what’s wrong with that?”
Lin Zhao cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is deeply gracious, and I dare not resign, but Prince Heng is both a prince and a prince. He has several high-ranking concubines, so where is the best?"
Emperor Xiaode said: "What if I have explicitly decreed that Prince Heng will not appoint concubines or concubines? Moreover, the maids beside him were selected by the queen herself, and the nuns are watching. I have told the queen that he is not old enough.
Before marriage, anyone with dirty thoughts will be beaten to death. As for how they get along as a couple after the wedding, it depends on the means, why are you worried?"
Emperor Xiao De said it so sincerely that it actually made Lin Zhao suspicious.
This is great!
You are a talented and strategic emperor, but just to let your son and brother, Prince Heng, marry my daughter, the Lin family, you actually made such a concession?
Is there something wrong with the style of painting?
Could it be that Prince Heng is not your younger brother, but the "bastard" you gave birth to by colluding with your mother and concubine?
This thought flashed through Lin Zhao's mind.
Usually, in front of Emperor Xiaode, Lin Zhao not only maintained respect for the emperor and related people, but also spoke very casually.
But Emperor Xiaode was very relaxed when talking to him, but he had never been so loud and angry before.
Obviously, he sincerely proposed to marry Prince Heng.
At the same time, he also has enough respect for the Lin family.
He did not hesitate to patiently answer Lin Zhao's various questions.
Everyone present is also used to it.
But Lin Ruhai was frightened.
In his heart, Emperor Xiaode's majesty and talent were enough for him to admire and respect him, so he was willing to work hard for it, even vaguely calling himself an "emperor fan".
Therefore, he never expected that his son would be so "acquainted" with the emperor, so relaxed and at ease, as if he was reacting to an ordinary family member's marriage proposal.
who I am?
Where am I?
What am I doing?
For a moment, Lin Ruhai fainted.
At this time, Dai Quan smiled and interjected: "Lin Dutang, please excuse me, as long as the position of the county lord is stable, isn't it easy to live a smooth life? Besides, our Prince Heng has a good character.
, has a stable temperament, is well versed in music, and is good at arithmetic and mathematics. Now he is highly valued by His Majesty and is in charge of editing various books in the country at the Hanlin Academy. The county master is also smart and smart, and he is a book lover. From this look, the two of them can
Not a perfect match?"
Lin Zhao thought about it carefully and had to admit that what Dai Quan said was reasonable. If His Majesty issued an explicit edict, his sister's status would naturally be at ease. What's more, whether Prince Heng is the son of the Supreme Emperor or the illegitimate son of Emperor Xiaode, so
If you are not destined for the throne, then there will be no intrigues or messy things in the future. Your sister's status will be secure, your life will be worry-free, your future will be peaceful, and no one will be able to get past her. As long as you are here, there must be an emperor who values you, no matter what Prince Heng wants to do in the future.
Whatever you want, my sister can be the master of Prince Heng's palace."
Thinking of this, Lin Zhao cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I have an elder brother in my family. I am afraid that as the elder brother, I have no say. Only my father makes the final decision in everything."
When everyone heard this, their mouths twitched.
I think now that the matter is settled, you remember that your father is here, and you are just an older brother.
When I was bargaining with His Majesty just now, I didn't realize that I was just an elder brother!
There is nothing more shameless than this.
Even Lin Ruhai couldn't help but glared at Lin Zhao fiercely.
Emperor Xiao De did not seem to see the interaction between his father and son. He smiled and asked: "Lin Aiqing, Lin Zhao has already bargained with me for you. Do you have anything else to say? If not, I will protect you."
