Zhou Xingyun had long heard that the Northern Territory State Mud was trying to use Han Qiumiao to consolidate his control over the northern territory. However, even though he had known Qingtian Xiong's purpose for a long time, when Zhou Xingyun heard the other party's unreasonable demands, he treated Han Qiumiao inappropriately.
Thoughts, he still couldn't suppress his inner anger.
Qingtian Xiong is such a shameless thing that he actually asked someone else's wife to marry him. If the situation had not allowed for it, Zhou Xingyun would have slapped him to death.
However, Qingtian Xiong didn't take it seriously at all. After all, he knew very well that his speech was against the law. The Empress Dowager had long given the princess to the young master of the dynasty. Although the two of them had not been married for the time being because of the new emperor's accession to the throne, the name of husband and wife was already known.
It’s a foregone conclusion.
Qing Tianxiong proposed to Han Qiumiao without any appreciation, which was tantamount to disrespect for Han Qiumiao.
In this era, a good girl is loyal and does not serve her second husband. Han Qiumiao is already a wife. Even if the consort is in mourning, she will be criticized if she wants to remarry. What's more, the consort is still alive and well, but Qingtian Xiong wants to
If she marries him, what is the difference between this and forcing a good girl into prostitution?
As a personal guard of Han Qiumiao, Zhou Xingyun was naturally angry at his rudeness.
"Qingzhou Mu, do you know that the Queen Mother has granted marriage to me, but because the new emperor has ascended the throne, the wedding banquet between me and the young master has been postponed for the time being. However, there is no doubt that I am a married woman!" Han Qiumiao said deeply!
He took a breath and calmed down the anger in his heart.
Han Qiumiao and Zhou Xingyun did not go to the court, but the Empress Dowager granted them a marriage, and her decree was announced to the whole world to celebrate. Everyone knew that Princess Yongming was marrying the young master of the dynasty.
To put it bluntly, the relationship between Zhou Xingyun and Han Qiumiao is equivalent to getting a wedding certificate and getting married, but they didn't hold a wedding banquet.
"The Empress Dowager should be aware that the fight between the Crown Prince and the Sixteenth Son of the Crown Prince caused serious damage to the vitality of the capital, especially the guards stationed in the capital, who suffered heavy casualties when suppressing the rebellion. Although Master Shaofu is in a high position and has the ability to handle the imperial court,
It's a big event, but what the royal family needs most now is not civil servants to manage the world's trivial affairs, but generals who can command thousands of troops with heavy troops. The princess and I are getting married, which is tantamount to stopping losses at the moment of crisis, and can instantly replenish the vitality of the capital."
Qingtian Xiong said tepidly: "I hope Your Highness the Princess will not forget that the stability of all regimes in the past and present is based on military power. Only with the backing of strong military power can the imperial power last forever. Nowadays, the kings of the Western Region are rising.
At that time, Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Empress Dowager should know what is more important between the mere courtiers and the commander-in-chief of the army."
When Qingtian Xiong was in the north, he heard a lot of rumors about the prince's young master. The prince's young master was able to bring down Jin Zheng Han, the Minister of Household Affairs, and assisted the prince in defeating the sixteenth son of the emperor. He was undoubtedly an extremely capable adviser.
The Empress Dowager valued him, wanted to win over him, and betrothed Han Qiumiao to him. Qingtian Xiong could understand it completely. However, the royal family's foundation was damaged due to internal fighting, and Han Qiumiao was trapped in the north at this time. The Empress Dowager was a smart person.
, obviously knowing how to deal with this matter is a win-win outcome.
Princess Yongming's marriage to Qingtian Xiong can just consolidate the royal power, so that the hostile forces at home and abroad who plan to take advantage of the emperor's sixteenth son to rebel and weaken the royal power will not dare to act recklessly.
After all, if Qing Tian Xiong assists the royal family and stabilizes the northern territory, the capital will have no worries and can concentrate on dealing with the challenges from the west.
On the contrary, if Qingtian Xiong controls the northern territory and disobeys the royal family’s orders, then Beijing will
The people in the city's court must be in a state of panic, fearing that they will be attacked from both sides.
This is exactly why the power of the royal family and the kings of the Western Territory are far greater than that of Qingtian Xiong, the northern state herdsman, but Qingtian Xiong can easily profit from it and dominate the northern towns. Because Qingtian Xiong
Xiong is of great importance to the other two forces. Whoever he supports will have the absolute upper hand.
Of course, Qingtian Xiong's decision to marry the royal family was not just because Han Qiumiao happened to fall into his hands. The most important point was that he had conspired with the king of the Western Region to promote the rebellion between the sixteenth son of the emperor and the northern princes. His intuition told him that,
The Prince of the Western Region is probably more difficult to deal with than the Empress Dowager.
Furthermore, the Empress Dowager has retreated behind the scenes, and now Han Feng has ascended the throne to control the government. If Qingtian Xiong and the royal family join forces to deal with the king of the Western Region, wouldn't it be easy for him to turn around and deal with Han Feng?
Although Qingtian Xiong lives in the north, he still understands the situation in the capital quite well. Han Feng was able to rise to power smoothly only because Han Qiumiao was advising him behind the scenes. Without Han Qiumiao secretly assisting Han Feng, Han Feng would be just an idiot.
He is just a foolish king who has empty ideals but does nothing.
To put it bluntly, before inciting the northern princes to rebel, Qingtian Xiong had already considered what he would do next after taking control of the northern territory. That was to unite with the royal family to frighten the western territory and suppress the prosperous Prince Qinping.
The Prince of the Western Region may have already seen through Qingtian Xiong's thoughts, so he quietly kept a secret and did not tell Qingtian Xiong about Zhou Xingyun's identity.
After all, the Western King does not want to see Qingtian Xiong forming an alliance with the royal family. If possible, the Western King even hopes that Qingtian Xiong and Zhou Xingyun will fight to the death.
The king of the Western Region and Qingtian Xiong are not even friends, not to mention allies. The forces of both sides are in a competitive relationship that uses each other. Cooperation is only a temporary common interest. After achieving the goal, they go their separate ways.
Do whatever you want.
To put it bluntly, Qingtian Xiong is ambitious and unwilling to rely on others. He will only choose the option that is most beneficial to him.
"Absurd! You obey your father at home, and your husband when you get married. You shameless thing, you know that I am already married, but you dare to let me disregard my chastity and betray my husband! You are still shameless!"
Han Qiumiao stood up and scolded Qingtian Xiong angrily.
Han Qiumiao really didn't expect that Qingtian Xiong was so shameless that he openly asked her to betray Zhou Xingyun, and then moved out of the empress dowager in an orderly manner, saying that in order to consolidate the royal family's country, it was right to abandon the marriage with the young master and marry him.
Choice. In the end, military power was involved, implying that without his help, the royal regime might not be preserved, which invisibly put pressure on Han Qiumiao, as if if she refused to marry him, Qingtian Xiong would marry him.
The royal family is at odds.
"Why is your highness the princess so angry? I really can't understand what's wrong with the marriage between the princess and me."
"What's wrong? You still have the nerve to ask me what's wrong? Don't you have the word "shame" in your heart?" Han Qiumi criticized plausibly. She and the young master are already married, and they are a legitimate couple.
Relationship. She, Han Qiumiao, would definitely rather die than surrender, and would not do anything that was unchaste or contrary to the ways of a woman.
"Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. Your Highness doesn't care about Her Highness's fair body, so why should Her Highness worry about it? Or does it mean that I overestimate Your Highness's imperial power? Now that the Crown Prince has succeeded to the throne, according to your previous
We should abandon the useless young master and marry a lower official to further consolidate the country's political power. This is obvious and easy.
You and I should understand the truth, princess, can you please stop letting me down?"
Qingtian Xiong replied a little impatiently that the royal family always likes to use marriages to weigh officials to consolidate power. Han Qiumiao was born in the royal family and should know this very well.
Although the Empress Dowager announced to the world that Princess Yongming was given to the young master, the two were not married, and the people in the world did not know whether Princess Yongming gave her daughter to the young master. Now the Empress Dowager only needs to make another decree.
, terminate the engagement between the two and let Her Royal Highness the Princess choose her own husband. Who knows whether Her Royal Highness the Princess is pure.
To put it bluntly, as long as Qing Tianxiong doesn't mind, who dares to talk about the princess' innocence behind her back?
"You!" Han Qiumiao was furious. He was speechless for a moment. He was so angry that Qingtian Xiong was speechless.
Because Han Qiumiao felt that in the eyes of Qingtian Xiong, he was just a valuable thing. He married her just because he wanted to form an alliance with the royal family and make himself the legitimate overlord of the North. Wife? Doesn't exist. At most.
She used it as a fertility tool, so that her children would have royal blood, so that when she seeks to usurp the throne in the future, she will have an orthodox reason for her righteousness.
Suddenly, Han Qiumiao felt that Zhou Xingyun was really good to her. Even though Zhou Xingyun often did stupid things to make her angry, at least he would treat her attentively and really care about her without treating her like a thing.
Thinking of this, Han Qiumiao finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted directly to the guards outside the door: "Come here! Send this shameless person out!"
Han Qiumiao's move was to remind Qingtian Xiong that although she was under house arrest by him, it did not mean that she had no ability to resist. The masters of the Wulin League who came with him were not fuel-efficient lamps. If Qingtian Xiong dared to push his limits,
It's too much to bully others by showing off your power in front of her. She has the ability to fight back. At worst, it will be a life-and-death situation, and no one will have an easy time.
Han Qiumiao gave an order, and everyone in the house, outside the house, and outside the courtyard responded quickly.
The first person to move was Han Shuangshuang, who was closest to Han Qiumiao.
Zhou Xingyun was very surprised. He didn't expect that the stupid little girl would step forward without hesitation and punch Han Qiumiao at the moment he pronounced the word. She punched the Qingtian Bear away from Han Qiumiao faster than he could.
.
Han Shuang's double strength was so powerful that even the Qing Tian Xiong at the peak level could not defeat her in terms of strength. However, Qing Tian Xiong still had some strength. He hit Han Shuang with both hands and flew back a few meters.
, but did not suffer any damage.
Of course, this may also be because Han Shuang showed mercy and did not use all his strength.
Because Han Qiumiao's order was to blast Qingtian Bear out, not to kill him. So Han Shuangshuang was cautious, and Qingtian Bear was just knocked out of the living room by her force, but did not suffer any damage.
However, there was a big commotion in the living room, and Uncle He and others who were guarding the door immediately rushed into the hall and opened a line of defense to protect Han Qiumiao.
Shen Quan and others outside the east chamber courtyard also rushed into the east chamber courtyard when Qingtian Xiong was kicked out of the living room by Han Shuangshuang.
However, when he saw that Shen Quan was about to lead people into the east chamber living room, which would be detrimental to Han Qiumiao, Qingtian Xiong suddenly raised his hand to signal him not to act rashly.
At the same time, Han Qiumiao, accompanied by Zhou Xingyun and others, walked out of the east chamber living room in a grand manner.
