243, and pro
On April 17, the 10th year of the Dali period, the Northern Di Rouran tribe sent envoys to the court to propose marriage to his new successor Yujiulu Qiulun Khan, who wanted to marry a Princess Dayin as his new Khan, to show that Rouran and Dayin's diplomatic relations were forever and that they would not raise troops.
The emperor readily agreed, but now the upper and lower knees are empty, and there is only one prince and the child of the queen who is unknown to the queen's belly. There is no other princess to marry. So he issued an order to choose a legitimate daughter from the palaces of each clan and give her the title of princes, and marry Rouran.
How could anyone let go of this opportunity to show loyalty and favor? The princes and princes rushed to submit memorials to clarify that their daughters were waiting for their name, and they were willing to stay away from their hometowns for the diplomatic relations between Dayin and Rouran. Some even presented portraits of their daughters to the imperial court.
The emperor looked at the memorials and felt a headache after the portraits. As soon as the queen was erecting her stomach to deliver soup, the emperor hurriedly threw the memorials and greeted them, "You are heavy now, so don't walk around casually. I will feel sorry for anything after all!"
The queen took the opportunity to hand the tray to the eunuch who reached out to her hand and smiled softly, "The emperor is too worried, it's okay. The imperial physician said that he will only have the strength when he walks around and gives birth!"
The emperor had nothing to say and sat on the soft couch beside him. The queen looked at the portrait piled on the desk and said curiously, "What is this? The emperor is trying to enrich the harem? Yes, there are only a few concubines in the palace, so it's time to add some new people!"
The queen's slightly sour tone looked like a little daughter, and it just hit the softest part of the emperor's heart. The emperor pulled the queen's hand and shook his head and laughed, "These are all princesses and county lords of the royal family, all my nieces. I plan to choose a new Khan from the inside to marry Rouran!"
The queen took a portrait casually, looked at it and frowned, "Why did Prince Huai's youngest daughter report it? She looked so thin. The journey to Rouran is long, and she may not be able to stand it!"
"Yes!" The emperor pinched his eyebrows and said with a headache, "Roran, the newly succeeded Khan Yu Jiulu Qiulun, is already in his thirties. He is in his prime and strong. He is still childish when he is married to a young man. How can he bear the important task of maintaining diplomatic relations between the two countries? But if he is married to a older man, he will be again in a few years..."
When he is old and his color is weak, and when he is weak, he lovesways, he will no longer have any value in front of Khan. If Rouran no longer cares about the agreement between the two countries, there will be no one to persuade him! Mobei is not as good as the Central Plains. Even if he is out of favor, he will still maintain the dignity of his wife and his wife. In Mobei, there are many men who kill his elderly wife and marry a new lover.
The queen put down her portrait and thought, "According to the convention, we have to choose a few women from aristocratic families to dowry. At that time, we will choose a younger one. It is better to choose an older princess who are married!"
The emperor nodded deeply, "I think so too. I have discussed this with many ministers and plan to select ten unmarried women from the aristocratic families to marry!"
"Ten? Are there too many?" The queen frowned, not noticing that the emperor used "marriage" and not "dodge".
The emperor patiently explained, "Do you still remember the story of Concubine Zhen that I told you last time?"
The queen nodded. Since she was pregnant, the emperor never concealed anything about the previous harem, so she had learned many unknown secrets.
"Concubine Zhen returned secret letters and said she would return to the court. Sometimes the reason was that she missed her hometown when she was old, and then she was the King of Pingning who was married but had no Han women who could marry. I wanted to take this opportunity to send a few girls from aristocratic families over there, so that she could block Concubine Zhen's mouth!" Although Concubine Zhen's letter was irrelevant to the emperor, she would feel impatient when she was always clamoring like this. It would be better to simply block her excuse to let her stay honestly.
"The emperor is wise!" The queen praised, took another portrait to look at it. The emperor asked, "Can the queen choose a suitable person to recommend it? The queen has been in charge of the harem for many years and is very familiar with the clan relatives and female relatives. Can she be willing to share this matter with me?"
The queen smiled softly, "Since the emperor sincerely asks me, I will say a few heartfelt words! If there is any offense, please don't blame me!"
"Even if the queen says, I and you are husband and wife, why do you and me blame each other?"
"I don't need to say that the burden of marriage is too heavy. Therefore, the candidate for marriage must be chosen from the clan who wholeheartedly supports His Majesty, so he will be in the same mind as His Majesty!"
The emperor nodded involuntarily, "Switch on!"
"Garment is both a responsibility and a glory! There are many relatives who are willing to marry their daughter, but not everyone is qualified to have this honor, so the candidates for this marriage need to be very cautious!"
Sacrifice of a daughter can be favored from now on, and this transaction is really cost-effective. Dayin has been in the founding of the country for hundreds of years and has gone through nearly ten generations of emperors. With the weakening of blood ties, the relationship between the royal family and the imperial power has become increasingly alienated. At the same time, there are many aristocratic families, which vaguely overwhelms the clan relatives. This makes the gradually declining clan relatives gradually uneasy, and they want to grab this glory to enhance their status after squeezing their heads. Whoever obtains the qualification to marry means that the relationship between the royal family and the imperial power is one step closer.
But the same is true for those princes who are in the prime of their power if they get the opportunity to marry, they will only increase their power and prestige among the people, which is what the emperor fears.
"In my opinion, it is not suitable for the vassal kings who were enfeoffed during the reign of Emperor Gaozu. The vassal kings were far away from the capital for many years and had a shallow friendship with Your Majesty. Moreover, I don't know how the princes and princes of the vassal kings' mansion are, so it's not advisable to take risks!"
The four words should not be taken risks are used very well, so that the vassal kings can marry each other. Maybe it will add power to the vassal kings. The vassal kings who were enfeoffed after the founding of the country have always been the heart of emperors of all dynasties. Even though the feudal system was later abolished, the vassal kings who were enfeoffed before could not seize other people's titles for no reason. In recent years, the vassal kings and vassal kings have never stopped seizing power, so the emperor certainly did not want to see such a result.
"There are not many candidates for selection!" The queen picked out one from the stack of portraits. "I think the eldest daughter of King De is good. She is only 28 years old and is gentle and polite. She is also kind and charming whenever she comes to the palace to pay her respects. I have a good impression of her!"
I was very satisfied with the candidates given by the queen after measuring the emperor. "I remember that King De's eldest son was gone two years ago, and King De was deeply hit. He has seen him grow older in the past two years. Now that he has given this honor, it is enough to make him happy!"
