Siheyuan: Punch Shazhu at the beginning, intercept Yu Li

"Although Lei Tian had an accident and made you very unhappy, we still have to go ahead with the marriage!"

"People like Katenaqi from the Black Shark Republic and Ilihaqin from the Tonyun Kingdom both gained great benefits from Zhang Weiguo through marriage."

"Now that Lei Tian has had an accident, the direct result is that we have completely lost our voice in Zhang Weiguo's opinion."

"Zhang Weiguo said one thing and all of us royal family members had to go to his factory to screw in screws. Our situation was too passive."

Lei Ting asked, "So, you also support the continuation of the marriage plan?"

"The marriage must continue, but... we definitely can't let Xiao Mi Na go through the marriage."

"Ok?"

Lei Ting asked curiously, "Mina, who do you think is the most suitable person to send over for the marriage?"

Mina suddenly said, "Why not just let Miaoxin marry Zhang Weiguo!"

"What, are you kidding me!" Lei Ting's face suddenly changed.

"Mina, you are so presumptuous."

Mina hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, please don't get excited. I definitely don't mean to blaspheme Your Majesty."

"Every word I said came from my heart."

"According to the rules of our Fengyun Empire, the highest level of marriage is actually a granted marriage!"

"When the old king was in power, he married his most favored concubine, Li Fei, to the great general Duke Oli who had made great contributions on the battlefield!"

"Duke Ollie is very grateful and has made great contributions to the expansion of our Fengyun Empire."

"Well, I have the same impression as you mentioned!"

"But isn't it a bit absurd to marry Miaoxin to Zhang Weiguo?"

"After all, Miaoxin's daughter Tiantian died indirectly at the hands of Zhang Weiguo. So..."

Mina smiled and replied, "I think this is quite appropriate!"

"Miao Xin is the king's favorite concubine. Giving her to Zhang Weiguo can show the king's sincerity."

"If the king just randomly picked a woman who was not favored to deal with the matter, Zhang Weiguo might not be happy."

"Hey……"

Lei Ting sighed helplessly: "If that's the case, then it can only be like this!"

Lei Ting is not a fool. He knows that Mina and Miaoxin have been fighting fiercely.

Mina came up with this idea, and if it succeeds, she can completely eliminate the "evil" Miaoxin.

From now on in the imperial palace, Mina's world will belong to him, second only to the emperor and above everyone else, with unlimited glory.

Lei Ting could see that Mina was targeting Miaoxin for personal revenge, but compared with the interests of the empire, a woman was not that important.

The people of the Fengyun Empire are all standard white people, and their values ​​are very different from those of Oriental people.

It is a basic practice in the Fengyun Empire for the king to marry his favorite concubine to an imperial hero.

Generally speaking, the important officials who can receive this honor are basically those who have made great achievements and shocked the emperor.

The king granted his favorite concubine a marriage for two main reasons.

One is to give this person the highest level of reward to reward the hero for his great contribution.

Another meaning is to use this method to warn those who are too powerful to be a threat to their superiors, so that they can be more "low-key".

The effect of this method is still very good.

Those ministers who have received great favors from the empire, after receiving the important "reward" from the king, will generally voluntarily hand over part or all of their rights, apply for a position of idleness, and enjoy the glory and wealth with peace of mind.

This way of granting marriage is similar to the ancient Eastern practice of releasing military power over a cup of wine.

After making up his mind, Lei Ting decided to visit Zhang Weiguo in person and discuss the matter with him face to face.

He is willing to give it up reluctantly, but it would be embarrassing if Zhang Weiguo doesn't accept it at that time.

Therefore, this matter must be communicated and made clear in advance.

……

In the evening of the Carle Islands, Zhang Weiguo set up a table of food in the City Lord's Mansion and invited several brothers to dine together.

Those who came included Lin Jun, Zhang Xiaotian, Sha Zhu, Qin Jingru, as well as Zhang Xiao, You Fengxia, and Lou Xiao'e.

The men were drunk from drinking, but the women had no intention of avoiding them. Instead, they drank drinks at the table to cheer themselves up.

Everyone was having fun playing their own game.

Zhang Weiguo was in a good mood today and had a few drinks with his brothers. He is now drunk.

Just at this moment, Xia Fang suddenly came running to report.

"Boss, Lei Ting is here to talk to you about something important!"

"Huh?" Zhang Weiguo was slightly stunned. "Didn't Lei Ting, the old guy, go to Yingyun Island? Why did he suddenly come to my place?"

You Fengxia asked: "Weiguo, how about I arrange the honor guard right now and prepare to welcome you..."

"Need not!"

Zhang Weiguo waved his hand and said, "There is absolutely no need for this!"

"If Lei Ting came here on business, he would definitely notify us in advance!"

"Since he didn't notify us and chose to visit us late at night, he must have some private matters that made it inconvenient for him to talk to us publicly."

"Then let's go to the meeting room right away..."

"Need not!"

Zhang Weiguo still shook his head: "How about this, Xia Fang, ask Lei Ting if there is anything urgent!"

"See you tomorrow if it's nothing urgent!"

"If it's urgent, bring him to my room to discuss it."

"Good boss!"

……

Not long after Xia Fang left, Lei Ting came to Zhang Weiguo's restaurant with two guards.

The restaurant was filled with the smell of alcohol, which almost made Lei Ting pass out on the spot.

Zhang Weiguo was drunk at this time. When he saw Lei Ting coming over, he called out, "Brother Lei Ting, come over and have a drink with us?"

"This……"

Lei Ting was a little hesitant, but Zhang Weiguo was unprecedentedly enthusiastic: "Come on, brother Lei Ting, we are all brothers, why be so polite?"

At this point, Lei Ting had no choice but to come forward and clink glasses with Zhang Weiguo.

After drinking a glass of wine, Zhang Weiguo immediately poured another glass for Lei Ting.

Lei Ting couldn't refuse, so he had to drink three cups in a row with Zhang Weiguo.

After the three glasses of wine were used to show his power, Lei Ting finally changed the subject and got to the point.

"Boss Zhang, I came here tonight because I have a small matter to discuss with you!"

"Ha ha!"

Zhang Weiguo smiled faintly and said, "If Brother Lei Ting has any instructions, just tell me, don't be polite!"

"We are all brothers. I feel a little embarrassed that you are so polite."

Lei Ting then continued, "Weiguo, I have thought about it carefully and decided... to marry Princess Miaoxin to you!"
