Donate 300,000 yuan to invite the God of War to marry, and I ask for a divorce
Chapter 16: Ji Nanzheng has no moral principles
Ji Nanzheng felt very uncomfortable with Wan Zhou holding his hand. He wanted to pull it away directly, but when he looked down, he stopped.
He was a head taller than Wan Zhou. From his perspective, Wan Zhou's long eyelashes were trembling slightly, and her soft white fingers could only barely grasp the edge of his palm, like pearls emerging from black sand.
Wan Zhou's other hand was wiping the back of his hand with such care, as if the back of his hand was a pearl and he was afraid that using a little more force would damage the smooth surface.
And when she looked at herself, there was heartache hidden in her eyes, so serious, so cautious.
He was stunned by Wan Zhou's seriousness.
In his life, the women closest to him were his mother and his cousin.
My cousin is innocent and enthusiastic. She always clamors to marry him. She never pays attention to gender differences when she is with him. She has also treated her own wounds. She is very attentive and distressed.
But my cousin's heartache was obvious and unconcealed, while Wanzhou seemed to have concealed 7% of her heartache and only revealed 3%.
He had an inexplicable feeling, which he couldn't explain, so he let Wan Zhou hold it.
"Okay, General, remember not to touch the water." Wan Zhou raised his head and smiled slowly.
Ji Nanzheng seemed to be stabbed by that smile. He suddenly withdrew his gaze and walked away without saying a word of thank you.
When they arrived at the palace, Ji Nanzheng led the generals into the hall to report on their work and receive their rewards. Wan Zhou was taken by palace servants to a side hall to wait.
I don’t know how long I waited, but I was finally called into the Golden Palace.
The emperor is still the same emperor, still wearing the same black robe embroidered with gold dragon patterns.
Ji Nanzheng stood at the bottom.
In addition to Ji Nanzheng, Wan Zhou's father Gu Lian was also in the hall.
Wan Zhou actually knew that her father was in Ji Nanzheng's team, but the army had its own rules and she didn't dare to disturb him rashly.
Now, the emperor has asked her father to stay, probably because of her marriage with Ji Nanzheng.
"This humble girl pays respect to His Majesty."
Wan Zhou knelt down and kowtowed, and the emperor smiled and asked her to stand up.
After a year, the emperor finally saw Wanzhou again. He saw that Gu Wanzhou seemed to have a little more charm than a year ago.
Last year, Wanzhou was like a flower bud.
At the moment, it looks like a newly blooming hibiscus.
It is a good time to pick.
To the emperor, recovering the Chinese territory now is not only about regaining territory and adding a solid city defense to the frontier, but also his great achievements and glorious chapter, which will surely be praised in great detail by future generations.
The emperor was extremely happy, happier and more satisfied than ever before in his life.
As the old saying goes, after getting your name on the list of successful candidates and having your wedding night, at this time, to add the icing on the cake and have a beautiful woman?
That's perfect.
The emperor suppressed his anger and asked Ji Nanzheng in a pretentious manner.
"General Ji, the woman next to you is Gu Wanzhou, who donated all her dowry to my country Yan as military pay. She said she likes you, and I also think she is a good match for you. What do you think?"
Although the emperor was asking Ji Nanzheng, he already had the answer in his mind.
With the previous experience of the princess who refused marriage, how could the rebellious Ji Nanzheng be willing to accept Gu Wanzhou who was just approaching him?
Refusal of marriage is bound to become a fact.
Even though he is the emperor, he cannot be completely unkind. Let alone Gu Wanzhou, he did not vent his anger on Ji Nanzheng when he rejected his precious princess.
He was a wise and intelligent emperor. He was not like those foolish and incompetent emperors who failed to govern the country and only harmed their own ministers.
Can't stand a little disobedience? Then you will be disobeyed more severely.
Do you think you can rule over everything as an emperor?
For people like Ji Nanzheng, if used well, it is his own knife, but if used poorly, it will become a knife stabbing himself.
It's just a personal relationship, it has nothing to do with his country, so just let it go. If it concerns my country, do you dare to challenge me?
The emperor was in a good mood and was just waiting for Ji Nanzheng to refuse the marriage proposal.
If he agrees to reject the marriage proposal, Gu Wanzhou will certainly feel wronged and take the opportunity to issue an edict to take a concubine as compensation. Others will only praise him as an emperor who loves the people and will not think that he is lustful.
He deliberately kept Gu Lian, and both father and daughter were present. He issued an order on the spot, and Gu Wanzhou did not have to go back and was sent directly to the harem.
"Your Majesty!" Almost the next second after the emperor finished speaking, Gu Lian fell to his knees, "I beg Your Majesty to take back your order. My daughter is dull and unworthy of General Ji. I only hope that my daughter will marry a family of equal status in the future and live a simple life."
Gu Lian would be extremely satisfied to have Ji Nanzheng as his son-in-law, but he also knows his own limitations.
Can he afford a son-in-law like Ji Nanzheng?
He didn't know why his precious daughter was so whimsical, but if she was destined to be rejected in marriage, he would at least save some face for her.
Wan Zhou looked at Gu Lian in surprise.
They are truly father and daughter, thinking alike.
She quickly knelt down along with Gu Lian.
At this moment, the emperor was even happier.
It was impossible for him to refuse Ji Nanzheng's refusal, but doing so would somewhat undermine his prestige. Agreeing to Gu's initiative to cancel the engagement would earn him a reputation of loving the people.
On the one hand, he had to agree to his beloved general's refusal to marry, and on the other hand, he had to follow the will of the people. Of course, he chose the latter.
The key point is that in this way, the concubine he took in would no longer be someone Ji Nanzheng didn't want. It didn't matter if he had a reputation as a lecher.
The emperor thought to himself that Gu Lian was a good person and he should find an opportunity to promote him.
However, the emperor was used to seeking fame and reputation, and did not want to expose his true intentions so quickly, so he pretended to be calm and said, "Gu Qing, whether you are worthy or not, you should also listen to General Ji's opinion, right?"
The emperor smiled happily, staring at Ji Nanzheng with his eyes, thinking: Ji Nanzheng, you have made great contributions to me, and I have given you enough face. Respect is given, the ladder is waiting for you, just go down and it's over.
Ji Nanzheng's deep eyes like torches greeted the emperor, "Your Majesty, I..."
"I am willing to marry Gu Wanzhou." Ji Nanzheng seemed to hesitate for a moment, then answered solemnly.
The emperor's smile suddenly stopped, and the way he slammed on the brakes made it seem as if half of his eyeballs had fallen out, which was very funny.
He confirmed a little hurriedly, "Nan Zheng, although I have issued an order, marriage is a private matter. If you really don't want to, I won't force you, and I won't punish you for it."
Although disobeying an imperial order is a great crime, I asked you to do it, so you should do it right away. It's not like you, Ji Nanzheng, haven't disobeyed before, so don't tell me you don't dare.
Ji Nanzheng met the emperor's "kind and powerful" gaze and said, "Your Majesty, I am not reluctant. I am willing."
After these words were spoken, the emperor almost lost his composure.
Ji Nanzheng, you bastard, I was wrong about you. You are so unruly and averse to women. I think you are just a superficial person who was attracted by Gu Wanzhou's beauty.
The emperor's determination to win was shattered, and he regretted it deeply. He should have agreed to Gu Lian's request as soon as he asked.
It’s all your own fault!
That’s all!
I want to be a brave, wise, and famous emperor, but a woman? There are so many women in the world, I will find more.
"That's very good." The emperor said while gritting his teeth.
Wan Zhou is a little confused?
Is Ji Nanzheng going crazy?
Didn't we agree on this? Why doesn't he follow the moral code?
No, she really doesn't want to marry into the Ji family.
Wan Zhou quickly figured out, if she insisted on telling the emperor that she regretted it, would it be of any use?
She looked towards the emperor silently.
It would have been fine if I hadn't looked, but when I did, I was so scared that I quickly lowered my head.
How come people who were so cheerful earlier suddenly looked like it was going to rain heavily?
This face changes faster than a 1-year-old child.
The power of an emperor is unpredictable, and serving an emperor is like serving a tiger. This is indeed true.
What else could she say? How could she dare to say anything else? If she offended the emperor, her life would be in danger, but what about her father?
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ji Nanzheng said in a resounding voice.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty." Wan Zhou said reluctantly.
