The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

Chapter 444 Targeting

In order to demonstrate the style of a great country, the King of Chu would give back a lot of salt, tea, sugar, etc. every year, which were important daily necessities for Youtuo.

"It's a nice thought to ask for the princess's hand in marriage."

Even though you can’t marry a princess, there are many princesses in the royal family.

This matter has nothing to do with Duan Houfu, but someone is behind the scenes and doesn't want them to have an easy time.

When You Tuo arrived in the capital, the Emperor of Chu held a state banquet and arranged for them to be welcomed.

The Emperor of Chu did not care until You Tuo explained his intention to marry the princess. His princess was old enough to be the mother of this envoy, so naturally she could not marry him.

And the one below is his son's daughter, a princess, worthy of this prince of Youtuo.

I chose and chose but couldn't find the right one.

At this time, anyone with a conscience would not want to send his daughter to Youtuo.

Several princes began to compete with each other.

Why should my daughter go to marry a foreign prince while your daughter chooses a husband at home?

Youtuo has been plagued by natural disasters in recent years and needs to rely on Da Chu even more. It would be best if he could marry a princess and become a relative of Da Chu.

So when he saw that the princes were not friendly to him, he was unwilling to go forward and get into trouble.

After much selection, the marriage partner somehow fell on a little princess from Prince Cheng's mansion.

When the little princess heard this, she was so frightened that she fell ill and was obviously getting worse.

The envoy saw this and cursed in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face.

Hundreds of years ago, even if you begged us Youtuo, we would not want to marry these weak and unable to take care of ourselves.

The women they travel with are strong and sturdy. They can draw bows and shoot arrows on horseback. They are good women who are as good as men.

Now, the situation is like this and we have no control over it.

The person was not dead or alive, and the envoy was still wondering whether to let it go. The situation changed and the object of the marriage was changed again.

The envoy even specifically inquired about who it was, and found out that it was the sister of the famous short-lived young general.

Even Envoy You Tuo, who did not understand the etiquette of the Great Chu, understood that this was not a decent thing to do.

He just died for his country, and the grass hasn't even grown on his grave yet, yet you turn around and send his sister away to marry. How can a human being do this?

There really is someone who can do this.

Prince Cheng's Mansion.

Now all the dogs passing by have to pee and bark a few times.

As for the starting point, I can understand it.

Previously, the young princess of Prince Cheng's mansion wanted to have a posthumous marriage with that young general Duan, but this was rejected by the Marquis's mansion, and she was even reprimanded by His Majesty for this.

People have been holding a grudge, and when something happens, they start to set traps for others.

"General Duan sacrificed his life for his country, a truly noble act. I believe his sister also shares her brother's wishes, is righteous and sensible, and is willing to share your majesty's worries."

Looking at his cousin kneeling below, the King of Chu thought that this was just a court situation and it was not easy for him to take action since he was the emperor.

Otherwise, his dragon foot would appear on his face in the next second.

Prince Cheng knelt on the ground, thinking that his suggestion was very good, and there was a smug look on his face.

Prince Cheng's Mansion is now a notorious family of fools in the capital.

The King of Chu also knew their moral character, and it was precisely because of this that he was extremely angry.

The money he had was used to support these things day by day.

It's all my father's fault. He gave birth to so many brothers who are as stupid as pigs. Not only does it cost a lot of money to raise them, but there are also people who come up to hold him back.

The Emperor of Chu wanted to spit in the face of Prince Cheng, saying that he was stupid, but he didn't want to hear it.

You said you caught a sheep and pulled it out?

The sheep was anxious and refused to work.

"This matter will be discussed later."

The King of Chu didn't want to listen and told him to go back.

Prince Cheng was unwilling to do so, as he came with a mission. The princess said that if he failed, his daughter would die.

It's not clear how much he loves his daughter, but he is quite happy to make Duan Houfu unhappy.

Back then, Duan Silang was a handsome young man, and he had always wanted to get close to him. However, Duan Silang was "hearted as a wolf" and could not refuse every banquet invitation. After a few times, he lost his temper.

There are many good men in the capital, and with his status as a prince, many people are eager to join him.

He wasn't a mean person who wouldn't want what he couldn't have. At the time, Duan Jia and the imperial concubine were having a passionate affair, so he gave up on the idea. Things like this were best done when both parties were willing.

He is not the king, and plundering is not his style. He has always been considerate.

Prince Cheng knelt there, his mind wandering.

Duan Jing'an clenched his fists, stood there enduring it with a frown on his face.

Before he could say anything, many officials suddenly stood up from the crowd and agreed with Prince Cheng's proposal.

Those people talked one after another and pieced together the general meaning.

What he meant was that General Duan had a sense of righteousness for his country and family, and this was thanks to the family education of Marquis Duan.

Now, You Tuo wants to marry the princess in order to help him get through these difficult years. He needs a woman who is loyal to his country, resolute and intelligent.

The second young lady of the Marquis's Mansion has long been known for her intelligence, composure, and virtue.

They all stood on the righteousness of the country and the nation and objective standpoints to let a woman sacrifice herself to fulfill their so-called great nation's benevolence and righteousness.

Some officials realized that someone was deliberately targeting the Duan family.

But, this is really hard to judge.

The girl is well-raised, is there anything wrong with that?

How come they are all daughters, but yours is as soft as a knife while others are as tough as a knife?

Put Minister Duan in a trance and force him to agree so as to accomplish a good deed. This trick has been tried hundreds of times and never gets old.

The more Duan Jing'an listened, the more his anger cooled.

His mind began to race like crazy. More and more people knelt down to beg His Majesty for an order, and his calmness was frightening.

He stood there, in stark contrast to the mediocre people kneeling on the ground. He was lonely and resolute, like a solitary pine tree on the edge of a cliff.

The Emperor of Chu saw all this and was somewhat curious about how the Duan family would fight back.

Duan Jing'an lowered his eyes, making it impossible to see the thoughts in his eyes.

Who is targeting their family behind the scenes?

As Your Majesty grows older, the situation in the court becomes more and more complicated.

The undercurrents between the princes have never ceased, but His Majesty has always been in good health, so the situation remains at a stalemate.

You Tuo's trip to Beijing this time became an opportunity to break the situation.

The selection of the bride should have been the focus of the princes, but now they seemed to have disappeared collectively, and even the officials in the court did not mention it on their own initiative.

Instead, the choice of the bride was pushed to the royal relatives nearby, and finally to the daughter of a minister.

It is true that Youtuo has suffered from natural disasters in recent years and the people have been in trouble, but their strength should not be underestimated.

The people on horseback have always been a respected and feared existence.

As long as any prince's heir married Youtuo, it would be like finding a powerful assistant. With such an attractive condition, he didn't believe that no one would be tempted.

too weird.

Duan Jing'an felt that everything was very strange. As the current leader of the family, his intuition made him feel a sense of crisis.

This crisis comes from the survival of the family.
