The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people
Chapter 439 Forced Marriage
After calming down his mother, Liang Chongyue put on a black fox fur cloak and followed Qi Deyuan to the Yangxin Palace.
The wound on Liang Chongyue's back had mostly healed, and she no longer needed a sedan chair. Liang Chongyue remained silent along the way. When she saw Qi Deyuan turning around to comfort her, she opened her mouth, then sighed and turned her head away.
"System, check the current situation in Yanyang and the Northern Territory. The most important thing is the attitude of the court officials in the Northern Territory towards Yanyang's absurd behavior."
Yan Yang wanted to get her through marriage. She had her eyes on the entire Northern Territory. But if the marriage was just a scam in the Northern Territory, then her original plan would be in vain. By the time she arrived in the Northern Territory, she would have lost herself.
"Yes, host, I understand."
The Yiku Palace was not far from the Yangxin Palace. Liang Chongyue was thinking about something and walked faster. When he arrived at the Yangxin Palace, he saw a group of ministers kneeling outside the palace.
She was dressed in official uniform, her face was frozen purple, but she refused to leave. What happened in the morning court must have been reported outside the palace. These people were kneeling here now, just to put pressure on her scumbag father to agree to her marrying far away in the north.
"Your Highness! Your Highness, you are here!"
Liang Chongyue wanted to pretend she didn't see it and go in directly, but someone who was kneeling inattentively turned around and saw her, and shouted loudly. It sounded like he had not been kneeling for long.
Liang Chongyue glanced sideways at Qi Deyuan, who immediately understood what Her Royal Highness meant. Just as he was about to inform Her Royal Highness of the minister's official position, the ministers kneeling outside the Palace of Tranquil Longevity heard the voice and turned around.
While kowtowing to Liang Chongyue, he was also saying all kinds of nice and auspicious words, his voice so loud that it drowned out Qi Deyuan's voice. This scene was extremely ironic in Liang Chongyue's eyes.
Qi Deyuan stood beside His Highness and saw that His Highness's expression became increasingly ugly, and his gaze towards the ministers became increasingly cold.
After Liang Chongyue listened to them finish this series of auspicious words as if they were singing an opera, he smiled and said:
"They are all good at talking, are they all civil officials?"
The ministers kneeling in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation did not understand why His Highness asked this. After looking at each other, they focused their attention on the oldest old man.
"To answer your Highness, the Princess, most of us are civil officials."
Liang Chongyue sneered. She recognized the old man. The Guanglu Doctor's surname was Duan. There were not many old men in the court. This man liked to take advantage of his seniority, and she had a good impression of him.
"So, are you kneeling here to force this princess to go to the Northern Territory for a marriage?"
Liang Chongyue's back was straight, his eyes seemed to be twinkling with cold stars, and there was no emotion in his voice, but it was enough to make these civil officials who claimed to be literati and scholars panic.
The civil officials kneeling outside the Yangxin Palace looked at each other in bewilderment. Some of them were exposed and showed shame on their faces. Naturally, there were also some who thought that they were standing on the moral high ground for the sake of the people.
"The North and Great Xia have been at odds for a long time, and the grudge runs deep. Your Highness is supported by the people. The new king of the North has sent an envoy to offer the entire North as a betrothal gift, as long as Your Highness is willing to marry into the North. Your Highness, please do not disregard the people of Great Xia for your own benefit!"
With the tip of his tongue against his upper teeth, Liang Chongyue listened to the words of the Guanglu Doctor, which fully reflected the cowardice in the hearts of these literati and poets. He rolled his eyes to the sky and said rudely to these extremely hypocritical men:
"When the old Emperor of the Northern Territory was still alive, you all kept saying that the Northern Territory Royal Family was ruthless and vicious, wishing that the Great Xia cavalry could crush the Northern Territory Imperial City in one day. How come now that the old Emperor is dead, you've forgotten the Northern Territory Royal Family's brutality and cruelty?"
When Liang Chongyue said this, his eyes swept across the faces of these people. Seeing that Guanglu Doctor still had some nonsense to say, he continued to speak directly:
"The new king ascends the throne and dares to offer the kingdom as a betrothal gift. You fools, you are old now. Have you returned all the books you have read to your teacher?"
"Or do you simply not care whether this is true or not? If it is true, I will go and marry into the alliance, becoming a pawn for you cowards to buy peace. I will suffer in that desolate land, while you continue to enjoy the peace and tranquility I have bought in the capital!"
"If it's fake, there's no need for you to go for the marriage anyway. You can just change your tune and continue to publicize the despicable deeds of the Northern Royal Family, as if you have nothing to do with this matter.
Future generations will not remember that you knelt here today to force the Emperor to send this princess to marry. They will only lament that this princess had made remarkable political achievements in her youth and could be called a child of destiny, devoting herself to the Great Xia. It's a pity that she was so talented that she died in a foreign land.
The more Liang Chongyue cursed, the more she wanted to curse. Step by step, she slowly approached these people who were kneeling on the ground. They seemed weak and upright, but in fact, such people were the culprits of women's misfortune in history.
"If this princess really died in the northern border, would future generations say that you, the Guanglu Doctor, were at fault for what you did today? Would they accuse you, the civil officials, of deliberately forcing her?"
"No, none of them will, because your names are not worthy of being recorded in history books and infamous for eternity. When future generations read this history, they will only think that Daxia clearly had the strength to conquer the northern border, but my father was willing to give up a princess, showing weakness and seeking only so-called peace. This is what led to our failure."
Liang Chongyue finished speaking, and finally stopped his gaze on Guanglu Doctor:
"This princess has never looked down on scholars before, but today I have learned something new. I never knew the spines of scholars could be so bent."
Seeing Guanglu Dafu's face flushed with anger, Liang Chongyue did not feel relieved. In history, many princesses died on the way to marriage, and many of them were forced by these civil officials. The words of civil officials were more powerful and poisonous than the swords of military generals.
She could offer herself to go to the northern border to marry, but she would never accept such coercion and set such a sad precedent for future princesses and princes of Daxia.
"Princess, this is an act for the country and the people. How can you be so willful?"
Doctor Guanglu supported himself on the ground with both hands and stood up with difficulty. Without even dusting off the dust on his hands, he dared to point his finger at Liang Chongyue's nose and scold him.
Liang Chongyue was already furious today. Her original plan was disrupted by that lunatic Yan Yang, and she ran into so many lunatics as soon as she arrived at the Yangxin Palace.
In this life, since she was a child, this was the first time someone dared to point at her nose and scold her.
"You should address this princess as Your Highness, you rude thing."
Liang Chongyue kicked Guanglu Doctor ten meters away. If it weren't for the Qilin outside the Yangxin Palace stopping him, Guanglu Doctor would have flown even farther.
After Guanglu Doctor fell to the ground, he vomited blood several times and his eyelids drooped. It looked like he was about to die, but no one dared to step forward to support him or call for a doctor to take a look.
At this time, some people were regretting kneeling in front of the Yangxin Palace. During the morning court session, His Majesty was unhappy about the new King of the Northern Territory asking to marry Her Royal Highness Princess Zhenguo, and now they had run into Her Royal Highness Princess Zhenguo's danger.
If His Majesty really couldn't bear to leave Her Royal Highness the Princess behind and sent troops to attack the northern border, then the future careers of those kneeling here today would be completely ruined.
A few brave people in the crowd turned around to look at the miserable condition of Doctor Guanglu. If he had not been vomiting blood, they would have thought that he was dead.
"Guanglu Doctor, it seems like this is going to happen. Her Royal Highness actually dared to hurt someone outside the Yangxin Palace, and His Majesty didn't care. Then we..."
"A month ago, Her Royal Highness the Princess killed two concubines. If we had known this, we shouldn't have come..."
