"What?" Xiran thought she heard wrongly, so she asked again: "Are you willing to go to North Korea and become a princess?"
"Father, my daughter has just answered." Dai Wen's voice was slightly trembling, but she still said firmly: "My daughter is willing to go to North Korea and become the royal concubine of the king of North Korea."
"Son!" Wei immediately cried, "Are you stupid? How could you be willing to go to North Korea?"
Xiran was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Daiwen, haven't you heard the recent rumors about North Korea? The king of North Korea will never like the princess who was forced into the Ming Dynasty. And when you arrive in North Korea, I'm afraid you will become under His Majesty's control
A hand from North Korea is definitely not a good thing for you. After hearing this, have you changed your mind?"
"Father, mother, and daughter have heard about what happened in North Korea recently, and they can guess the purpose of His Majesty's actions. But my daughter is still willing to go to North Korea and become the royal concubine." Dai Wen said again.
"My son!" Mrs. Wei cried loudly again. Daiwen was her first child and she regarded her as a treasure. Why would she want her to go to North Korea? But she only shouted a few words before she was interrupted by Xue Ning.
: "What are you all clamoring for!"
Mr. Wei suddenly didn't dare to speak. Xue Ning kicked them all out again, including his wife Mr. Wang. Only he and Dai Wen, his grandson and grandson, were left in the house.
"Dai Wen, the reason why you agreed to go to North Korea is probably for the sake of your family. Although His Majesty said that he would never force you to go to North Korea, and His Majesty will never force you to go, if you refuse, Your Majesty will still feel uncomfortable.
, this is not good for our Xue family. Secondly, if you become the Princess of North Korea, or even become His Majesty's hand in controlling North Korea as your father said, the future prosperity and wealth of the Xue family will be more stable."
"Grandpa is right," Dai Wen said.
"Secondly, it is your own choice. You have been different from others since you were a child. You have been decisive and independent in doing things, and your ideas are mostly right, so everyone is willing to listen to you, and even if they are not willing, they will not object. They
Calling you little Wu Zetian is indeed not nonsense."
"Grandpa is right." Dai Wen's voice became softer, but she still agreed.
"But have you ever thought that even if you have the ability to control the situation in North Korea, it may not be a good thing for you. Marrying an ordinary person and living your own life in peace and joy may not be a good thing for you.
It's worse than sitting in the court. Wu Zetian was an unprecedented empress. Almost everyone knew about it, but she didn't necessarily feel happy. She felt that she could live her whole life as an ordinary woman.
Be better."
"So Daiwen, grandpa asks you again, are you willing to go to North Korea?" Xue Ning finally said.
Dai Wen's face showed a look of struggle, but after a long time, she still replied: "Grandpa, my grandson is willing to go to North Korea."
"Since you have made this decision after much consideration, grandpa will not stop you. But you must remember that you will never regret it," Xue Ning said.
"My grandson will never regret it." Dai Wen said firmly.
…
…
Daiwen's promise to go to North Korea soon reached the ears of Yun and Xiyao. Xiyao couldn't believe it and summoned Daiwen into the palace to question her in person for half an hour. Finally, she had to accept the result dejectedly.
Yun Ze was laughing secretly. Although he didn't have much contact with Dai Wen, he could see that she was definitely not willing to spend her whole life as a husband and raising children, so he had expected such an answer.
Yun immediately drafted an edict and issued it one month after deposing the former Joseon Princess Jin Moyu. Daiwen received the edict and rushed to the palace to thank Xiyao.
When the news reached North Korea, Zhu Fangyuan, Zhu and his son were all shocked. They originally thought that the Ming Dynasty would designate a girl from the clan as the main concubine, but they didn't expect that it was not the case. They were busy investigating the news about Dai Wen and found that she was nineteen years old but
Not yet married, I was very curious and checked other things, and learned her nickname of Xiao Wu Zetian.
Although it was just a joke, Zhu Fangyuan's face changed at that time, and Zhu was not very good-looking. They were very reluctant to accept such a daughter-in-law, but they did not dare to go against the Ming Emperor's will, so they could only accept it. But they did it secretly
Prepare.
Yun didn't care at all what Zhu Fangyuan and Zhu and his son wanted to do, and ordered to seriously prepare for Dai Wen's marriage. Although Dai Wen was not a member of the royal family, the person she was marrying was not ordinary. Yun ordered that the princess should be married by the royal family in accordance with the rules of the princess' marriage.
To prepare for her wedding, she also needs to add some makeup to her.
Later, Xiran also thought that her daughter agreed to go to North Korea for the sake of the family, so she felt more pity for her daughter and took out all the good things in the family as her dowry; the Wei family also liked her daughter very much, and of course she would not object; Xue Ning did not say anything.
.
After more than half a year of preparation, a grand wedding was held for them in May of the 17th year of Jianye the next year. Xiran sent his daughter to North Korea. At that time, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were still stationed in North Korea, and King Zhu Song and Yong
Wang Zhuyun was also still there, and they sent thousands of soldiers to send Daiwen all the way from Inchon to Seoul. When the right day came, Zhu married Daiwen according to the wedding etiquette of the Ming Dynasty prince.
After the marriage, the relationship between the couple was good. Dai Wensheng was beautiful and scheming. Although Zhu was resistant to her at first, the conflict gradually dissipated and the couple was relatively harmonious.
The second year after they got married, in the 18th year of Jianye, Daiwen gave birth to a son. Two years later, in the 20th year of Jianye, Daiwen gave birth to another son. Later, in the 21st year of Jianye, Zhu Fangyuan died of illness.
In the 22nd year, Zhu suddenly suffered from wind vertigo. He felt groggy and dizzy all day, and his eyesight was getting worse and worse. He had to let Dai Wen handle part of the government affairs on his behalf. A few years later, Zhu's illness got worse.
Unable to see and in poor health, he had to hand over more power to his wife Daiwen. Of course, he also ordered that the crown prince should be heard at court, but the crown prince was still young and could not handle the affairs of the court, so it was still equivalent to leaving Dai Wen to the throne.
Regent Wen.
During Daiwen's regency, she punished members of the Korean royal family many times, and many of them were exiled to Liaodong. At the same time, she also continued Zhu Fangyuan's reforms and forcibly implemented the "Law for the Imprisonment of Sins" to weaken the power of the powerful families and strengthen centralization; he once led two
The two sons returned to the capital to visit their relatives, and they recognized Wenyuan as their adoptive father. More than ten years later, Zhu passed away, and his son inherited the throne. However, the new monarch did not have much power in the early stage of his succession, and the government was still handled by Dai Wen.
Wen used her strong political acumen and the support of the Ming Dynasty to continuously weaken the two classes of Korean nobles, reform the imperial examination system, and promote Chinese language among the common people. After two generations of efforts by her and her son, she successfully made Korea prosperous in every aspect.
It is very similar to the inner vassals of the Ming Dynasty; the royal family of North Korea also completely regards itself as part of the royal family of the Ming Dynasty.
