Quick Wear: The Demon Lord blew up the tomb at the beginning

If we say that the previous monarchs only sent money and supplies during the peace talks.

But when Chu Xiong succeeded to the throne, he was even more cowardly. Chu Xiong was a coward, and his ministers were also extremely cowardly.

The Northern Wilderness attacked, and the general guarding the pass became afraid before the battle even started, and fled the city overnight. Seeing that the general had fled, the soldiers still had the motivation to fight, so all the cities connected to the Northern Wilderness were taken by the Northern Wilderness.

When the news reached Ji'nan City, the capital of Chu State, it caused a great response.

However, Chu Xiong and his ministers made a reasonable yet unexpected decision, and married the original owner Chu Lanrui to Qi Yuan, the monarch of Beihuang, as his wife.

It was euphemistically called a marriage alliance, but in fact it was just sending women to the monarch of the Northern Wilderness, saying that we will marry the Queen Mother's most beloved princess to you, and you will be a family from now on.

She also signed a treaty with Beihuang and gave away a thousand miles of land bordering Beihuang as a dowry.

The ruler and his ministers of the Northern Wilderness were delighted. Without using any soldiers, they got a princess and a thousand miles of land for free. They immediately signed a treaty with the State of Chu.

The alliance letter can be torn up, but the benefits at hand cannot be missed.

Chu Xiong and his ministers were still complacent about this decision, thinking that this would avoid a war.

We only care about the short-term stability in front of us, but ignore the long-term worries.

Haha, that's really funny.

After listening to Xie Lang's words, Zhang He thought that Xie Lang wanted to avoid the marriage in this way.

She became even more dissatisfied with Xie Lang. You are just a princess, and I asked you to marry a foreign prince, so just go ahead. Why are you talking so much nonsense?

But he still explained: "The princess is the queen mother's favorite princess, plus she has a thousand miles of land as a dowry, how could she lack sincerity?"

In order to reflect the importance that the State of Chu attached to marriage alliance, the dowry prepared for Chu Lanrui was extremely generous, including ten thousand gold coins, various BMWs, jade bi, several concubines, precious specialties, etc.

At that time, one hundred gold coins were equivalent to about 50,000 in later generations, and ten thousand gold coins were equivalent to about 500 million in later generations. It could be said to be extremely generous. Even the most powerful Qin State did not receive such treatment when marrying off its daughters.

It is called a dowry, but in fact it is just using the money to please Bei Huang in the name of dowry.

"No matter how noble the princess is, how can she be more noble than the king of Chu?"

Zhang He's brain was a little short-circuited. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what Xie Lang meant, so he asked, "Princess, what do you mean by this?"

"Since marriage can save Chu from the suffering of war, marrying a princess is not enough. If you want to marry, you should marry my brother. Since my brother is getting married, how can he not have a dowry? You are the prime minister of Chu, with a high position and power. You can be my brother's concubine. The ministers in the court who agree with the marriage proposal will also marry with my brother."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!

Everyone present, whether it was the empress dowager, ministers, or palace maids and guards, were all stunned and looked at Xie Lang with extremely ridiculous eyes.

Zhang He's expression was even more bizarre: "Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"

Although it was a ridiculous statement, Zhang He was also very angry. What the hell was going on?

First, he was a man, how could a man marry, let alone marry as a concubine? Second, he was already in his 40s or 50s, with seven or eight children at home, and the oldest son was married? Third, he was the prime minister of a country...

"I think you are crazy, Princess?"

Zhang He only felt that he was subjected to endless humiliation, which was more painful than the two slaps before.

Even though I know he won't become a concubine, I can't help but think of that scene. It's really eye-catching.

Xie Lang just smiled and said nothing, then he said something shocking: "I'm not crazy, I mean what I said, I will send you a marriage, and I will send you a marriage."

The Queen Mother was also stunned. She looked at Xie Lang in disbelief and said, "Rui'er, stop messing around. The marriage has been decided. The Chu State has signed a covenant with the Northern Wilderness. It is impossible for them to break their promise to the world. It is useless for you to keep messing around."

The Queen Mother just thought that Xie Lang was stimulated by the marriage and his personality changed drastically, and he kept saying such nonsensical things.

"Rui'er, mother can't bear to let you go, but this is your fate, your fate, and you can only choose to accept it." The Queen Mother walked down the steps and embraced Xie Lang in her arms. Xie Lang's expression froze, but when he felt the throbbing of this body, he finally let go of his hands that wanted to break free.

The Queen Mother held Xie Lang in her arms and spoke from the bottom of her heart: "I am your mother, the daughter of the Marquis of Changping of Xu State. I had a relationship with your father before I married him. I thought I could know him and stay with him for the rest of my life. But things change. When Chu State and Xu State formed an alliance, the royal family of Xu State did not have women of the right age, so they named me a princess and married me to Chu State.

I have also fought against fate, but it was useless. The power of one person is ultimately too weak to fight against the entire era. Your resistance is useless and will only leave you bruised and battered. When the burden of your country and the expectations of your people are all on you, you will find that you have no way out. "

Xie Lang remained calm and unmoved by the Queen Mother's words.

For mortals, this is indeed an irresistible fate, but she... is not a mortal.

At this time, the Queen Mother continued, "There are eight out of ten things in life that are not satisfactory. There are things that satisfy you, and there are things that make you dissatisfied. You can't expect everything to be perfect. Besides, marrying the monarch of the Northern Wilderness may not be as bad as you think.

Just like your mother, she married your father and had you; and he also had his own family. In the end, I found that whether he was there or not, life would still go on as usual, and the sun would still rise as usual. "

Xie Lang remained silent. The Queen Mother thought she had heard him, and continued, "Mother knows the pain of marrying far away and never seeing your family again, because that's how Mother went through it. But there's nothing you can do, because this is your fate as a princess. Whether you accept it or not, this is your fate you can't escape.

I know you will feel pain now, but you will not feel pain when you let it go. "

The Queen Mother said so much just to make Xie Lang let it go.

Since we cannot resist this era, we might as well go with the flow and completely integrate into it.

At least once you integrate, you won't feel pain.

But...will it really not be painful?

Still only numbness remains.

"Rui'er, when fate comes, you have no choice, just like I had no choice at the beginning."

"You are wrong. When your personal strength is strong enough to be the enemy of the world, you can... subvert everything."

Xie Lang broke free from the Queen Mother's arms, turned around and looked directly at her.

This time, she borrowed Chu Lanrui's body but did not strip her of her soul, allowing her to say goodbye to the Queen Mother for the last time.

The gaze between two souls made the empress dowager's eyes fluctuate a little. When she looked at herself through Xie Lang's eyes, it was as if she saw two people.

One is her daughter, who bids her farewell with a smile, as if she has gotten what she wanted; the other seems to be the master of all things, looking down on everything, as if nothing in the world can move her.

“No matter how strong an individual is, he is not enough to overthrow the entire era.”

"Really? Then you'll have to wait and see." Xie Lang looked at the Queen Mother with burning eyes: "Watch how I defy fate and change my destiny."

The gentleness in his eyes is no longer there.
