Marry the villain and the whole court kneels down and calls her the queen
Chapter 200: The Emperor Granted Her Marriage, But She Refuses
In the following days, Zhao Zhuoxi was busy with the preparations for ascending the throne.
Maybe things were too busy, or maybe love was not a big deal in the imperial family.
After all, there are so many things going on in the world that the emperor really can't handle it all.
Just when Nishang and Lu Ming thought that the matter was over.
Zhao Zhuoxi suddenly secretly ordered the two of them to find a famous alchemist in Daning.
Although Lu Ming was confused, he still had to take on the task.
When Lu Ming got home, he complained, "Why did His Majesty look for an alchemist? Could it be that he also wanted to learn Taoism and make elixirs?"
Ni Chang suddenly had an idea: "Could it be that he is looking for Xiao Jiu's soul?"
Lu Ming was a little confused: "Huh? What do you mean?"
Nishang nodded at him vigorously: "You are really stupid. Prince Ling can use the alchemist to imprison Xiaojiu's soul and revive her body. Can't Your Majesty have the same idea?"
"Besides, when we captured that demon, he also said that Xiaojiu and her grandfather were from another world. Perhaps Xiaojiu is not dead and is staying there, waiting for Your Majesty to find her..."
Lu Ming's brows knitted together in embarrassment. "Didn't I tell you that it was nonsense? Your Majesty wouldn't really believe it... Even if Xiaojiu didn't die, where did she go?"
Lu Ming still didn't believe it, but he still had to look for the Taoist alchemist and fortune teller who had some skills.
On this day, Zhao Zhuoxi went to court and someone from the Minister of Rites came to report.
"Your Majesty, the Duke of Zhenguo will be buried today. How will Your Majesty arrange this?"
Zhao Zhuoxi thought about it carefully, yes, the affairs of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion have not been settled yet.
"How is the prince?"
The Minister of Rites said: "He has woken up, but his body is too badly injured. The imperial physician said that from now on, not only will he have trouble using a spear to kill the enemy, but even riding a horse will be a problem."
Zhao Zhuoxi rubbed his brows and said, "Then let him inherit the title of Duke of Zhenguo, and make his son Yao Song the Crown Prince, and his daughter Yao Qin the Princess of Ronghua."
This is the best explanation to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
After all, the whole family suffered this disaster in order to defend their country.
The Minister of War came out and said, "The envoys from Nanli Kingdom are all dead. If the news gets to Nanli, I wonder who Your Majesty will send to deal with it..."
Zhao Zhuoxi glanced at the court officials below.
The commander-in-chief in the north was Zhao Zhuoran, but now he has been replaced by Lu An.
Lu Ming had always served by his side and was the commander of the capital's imperial guards, so he couldn't bear to leave him.
The generals in the south used to be from the Zhenguogong Mansion. Now the Zhenguogong family has many injured and young ones, and there is no one to succeed them.
He sighed heavily, "No rush. I've already sent artillery to guard the area. As for the generals who will be stationed there, I'll give you a month to choose the right one."
There is indeed no rush to select generals.
Back then, the Duke of Zhenguo defeated the Nanli Kingdom and there was no general to defend the city. If they wanted to avenge the envoy, they would need a certain amount of strength.
For now, they haven't.
Seeing that there was no other important business to attend to, Grand Secretary Qin came out again to urge marriage.
"Your Majesty, you have just ascended the throne, but the harem is empty. Should you order the selection of a concubine..."
Zhao Zhuoxi remained silent. He had not yet found Jiang Jiu's soul, and he did not want to have other women in his harem.
we agreed.
One pair for life people.
"The Queen has just entered the Imperial Mausoleum. Please wait a little longer."
In an ordinary family, when a wife dies, the husband has to observe mourning for a year as a sign of respect.
The royal family only needs one month, but the common people must not have any vocal music for a year.
As the emperor now, Zhao Zhuoxi does not have to abide by those customs.
Unexpectedly, Grand Secretary Qin continued to chatter.
"Your Majesty, your harem is now empty. It will take time to marry a concubine. When will our Daning royal family have an heir?"
Only Qin Yuan dared to say this, as if the emperor would have no tomorrow after today.
Zhao Zhuoxi was very impatient and waved his hand.
Master Yiyun was just about to shout, "If nothing else, retreat..."
A minister in the court also stood up.
"Your Majesty, the granddaughter of the Zhenguo family has been conferred the title of Princess Ronghua. Marrying during the mourning period is not in accordance with ancestral tradition..."
Everyone took a closer look and found that this man was a general under the Duke of Zhenguo.
When the Duke of Zhenguo was still alive, he did discuss this matter with Zhao Zhuoxi.
Zhao Zhuoxi thought about it carefully and decided that it would be the same no matter who he married, so he might as well marry this girl.
Being more lively can also make the Duke of Zhenguo's subordinates swear allegiance to him until death.
"Then pass on my decree to make Princess Ronghua your queen, and we will marry in three years."
Now that the queen has been decided, the date for selecting a concubine can be postponed to next spring.
According to ancestral rules, the emperor selects concubines every three years.
In the spring of next year, the harem will first select a concubine, and three years later, the queen will be married.
Now Qin Yuan finally had no objection.
When the news reached the Duke of Zhenguo, everyone was happy, but Jiang Jiu was furious.
"What the hell? Entering the palace to be the queen? I won't enter the palace."
I have to say that this time travel was very explosive and my fate was extremely good.
Once she enters the palace, she will be at the level of a queen.
If it was an ordinary family, Jiang Jiu would have agreed.
But that’s the emperor.
There are three thousand beauties in the harem, so I won’t talk about that.
They said he had a violent temper and was murderous, and that he was in poor health.
Forget it.
Just take the newly enthroned emperor Zhao Zhuoxi as an example. He has already buried two queens before him.
He is a bit of a wife-killer.
Jiang Jiu, who lives in modern times, is still a bit superstitious about metaphysics.
Prince Yao Shirong was still lying in bed. He had woken up, but had not recovered yet.
Although almost all his family members died, his two children were still alive and doing well, so he could be considered to have saved his life.
"Qin'er, this is an honor bestowed upon you by His Majesty, and it's also a favor your grandfather asked for. You loved His Majesty so much before, and I thought you would happily agree..."
Yao Shirong also saw that Yao Qin had been working very hard recently. Despite her young age, she had lost her former arrogance and was able to support the entire Duke's Mansion and hold a dignified funeral.
Very distressed.
This is why the former subordinates of the Duke of Zhenguo brought this up to the emperor in the court.
Unexpectedly, the emperor was so supportive that he directly made his daughter the queen.
Before Yao Shirong could be happy, his daughter said she would not marry.
I have to say, his daughter is different from other daughters.
If it were any other girl, she would have been so happy that she wouldn't know what to do.
Who knew his daughter would actually say...
Not marrying!!!
Jiang Jiu stood angrily in front of Yao Shirong's bed and argued with him.
"Dad, he's already killed two of his wives, which means he's destined to kill his wife. You want your daughter to marry him, do you want her to die?"
Yao Shirong was so angry that his chest hurt: "Don't say that. He is the emperor now. If others hear what you said, you will be punished. It is disrespectful."
Jiang Jiu snorted disdainfully: "Anyway, I won't marry. Whoever wants to marry me can marry me."
"Dad, if I leave, there will be no one to take care of us. You are sick, and my brother is still young..."
Yao Shirong frowned: "There are still three years of mourning period, and I'm not asking you to get married now. Three years, you should think about it again."
Yes, three more years.
Jiang Jiu narrowed his eyes and came up with an idea.
She was going to negotiate with the emperor and ask him to cancel the engagement. In three years, who knows, he might have fallen in love with someone else.
