Chapter 1300 The prodigal son turns back and never exchanges for gold.
"Isn't that true, Your Majesty..." Sui Fengmao sighed softly as he spoke, and continued: "As for my nephew, he is always troubled when he is young. Indeed, he does many ridiculous things, but he is not bad. At this age,
As I grow older, I gradually become more sensible."
Sui Fengmao said again: "Your Majesty, Marquis Zhongyong told me that day that as long as he could marry Miss Qiao, he would divorce all the concubines in his family, and from now on he would only treat his wife well. He really did that.
The prodigal son returns!”
"Oh? Can he be willing to do this?" Liu Lang said in surprise.
Sui Fengmao affirmed: "Your Majesty, Marquis Zhongyong really said this to me. I didn't believe it at the time, but Marquis Zhongyong immediately swore a poisonous oath, so I believed it."
"You all swore poison?" Liu Lang's expression changed from surprise to exclamation.
Sui Fengmao nodded immediately, and then recounted the situation in detail. Liu Lang was quite surprised.
After hearing what Sui Fengmao said about Marquis Zhongyong, Liu Lang brought the topic back and asked: "Sui Aiqing, you just said that you could ask Marquis Zhongyong to donate some money... What are you going to say?
?”
Sui Fengmao looked serious and nodded: "Your Majesty, Marquis Zhongyong wholeheartedly hopes to marry Miss Qiao, and Miss Qiao has already passed the age of marriage. How about... How about the Emperor simply proposes marriage for the two of them?"
?”
"Marriage? Wait, stop, stop..."
Liu Lang waved his hands hurriedly, shook his head and said: "How can this be done? Although I am the king of a country, I still can't interfere in the family affairs of my ministers... It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate...
..."
Seeing this, Sui Fengmao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am confident that as long as the Emperor approves the marriage between the two of them, I can get Marquis Zhongyong to voluntarily donate a large amount of silver!"
Liu Lang was startled and suddenly moved. After thinking about it, he asked: "How much is the large sum of silver you mentioned?"
Sui Fengmao raised a finger and said seriously: "Your Majesty, at least one million taels!"
Liu Lang was shocked by the amount. He couldn't help but stare at Sui Fengmao's face for a while before saying, "Sui Aiqing, tell me again, how much is it?"
"Your Majesty, one million taels of silver!" Sui Fengmao said, gesturing with his fingers again, his tone very sure.
At this moment, Liu Lang fell into deep thought. He frowned and walked to the window to breathe in the fresh air. His back looked very troubled.
Sui Fengmao knew that the emperor was struggling in his heart, so he did not dare to disturb him and just stood there quietly waiting.
After a while, Liu Lang turned around and said: "Sui Aiqing, one million taels of silver is not a small amount! Don't brag about Haikou..."
When Sui Fengmao heard this, he knew there was something going on. He immediately raised his watch and said with determination: "Your Majesty, I am absolutely sure!"
Liu Lang was immediately delighted and couldn't help but nodded.
But then, Liu Lang became worried again. He turned around and walked back to Sui Fengmao and said, "Sui Aiqing, even if I agree to marry them, I still have to discuss this matter with Jimoshu. If he doesn't
I agree to marry my daughter to Marquis Zhongyong, but I can’t make this decision!"
Sui Fengmao said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Jimo is devoted to the country. I believe that as long as you explain the current situation to him, he will definitely not object to this marriage."
Although Sui Fengmao said so, he actually didn't think so in his heart.
He believes that the emperor is the king of a country, and the king should have the decision-making power of the king. Why should he ask his ministers for their opinions on such trivial matters as marriage? Just issue the decree directly!
What's more, Jimoshu has now left the temple and is an idler without an official status. There is a saying that people are told to leave the tea. Is his opinion still that important now?
"Okay, I know everything. I will ask Jimoshu what he means later, and I will make a decision then!" Liu Lang said.
Sui Fengmao then bowed his hands and saluted: "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"Well, you go ahead..." Liu Lang raised his hand slightly and waved Sui Fengmao away.
After Sui Fengmao left the imperial study room, Liu Lang slowly walked back to the dragon case and sat down.
At this time, Pei Yang carefully brought the tea and said, "Your Majesty, please have a sip of tea."
Liu Lang picked it up and took a sip, and couldn't help but ask: "What do you think about this matter?"
Pei Yang lowered his head and said in fear: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to speak nonsense..."
"That's all, I forgive you!" Liu Lang glanced at him and said.
Pei Yang then raised his head a little and said seriously: "Your Majesty, when the old Zhongyong Marquis and Lord Jimo Shu had an unpleasant quarrel over the marriage proposal, the old slave also knew a little bit about it. When the late emperor learned about it, he also came out to interview and negotiate for peace.
, but Master Jimoshu always disagreed. He said that he was just a daughter. If...if she married a man as sentimental as Zhongyong Hou, I am afraid that the future would be..."
Pei Yang stopped when he said this. He knew that the emperor could understand what he wanted to express.
Liu Lang nodded and understood: "It's understandable that Jimoshu didn't agree at that time. After all, there was no news about my adopted sister at that time. Jimo Qiao was the only daughter beside him. If it were me, I would probably
I won’t agree either.”
Pei Yang then said: "Your Majesty, that was all in the past. The situation is different now. Miss You has returned to Lord Jimo and got an excellent husband like An Pingbo. The most important thing is that Qiao
It’s time for the young lady to get married, otherwise it will be difficult to get married in a few years when she is older..."
Liu Lang hesitated for a moment and said, "What you said is correct, but you don't know about Marquis Zhongyong. Who among the well-matched people in the court would be willing to marry their daughter into his family?"
Pei Yang advised: "Your Majesty, you can't say that. People will always change. Didn't Sui Shangshu also say just now that Zhongyong Hou has a heart of repentance now? Not only is he willing to divorce all his concubines, but also
You have sworn a poisonous oath! Your Majesty, please tell me, this should be regarded as a prodigal son who will never be able to exchange for gold..."
Liu Lang's expression remained hesitant and silent.
Seeing that the emperor was undecided, Pei Yang asked: "Your Majesty, there is nothing we can do. There is really no place to raise money for the north..."
Pei Yang's words touched Liu Lang's pain point, and he became even more worried.
After a while, Pei Yang suggested: "Your Majesty, why don't you invite Lord Jimoshu to come and ask him first to see what he means?"
Liu Lang thought seriously for a while, nodded and said to Pei Yang: "Well, that's all we can do...Pei Yang, you immediately send someone to Jimo Mansion to pick up Jimo Shu. Remember not to mention what happened first."
, just say that I have something important to discuss with him, the sooner the better, go quickly!"
"According to the order!"
Pei Yang immediately accepted the order and quickly left the imperial study room.
