However, in this matter, his personal bad taste is only secondary.

As a purely political creature, Zhao Xu only valued the other party's status as a Liao princess.

Of course, it is not that this princess' identity will play any role in the domestic situation of Liao Kingdom in the future - let alone a fake princess.

Even if Yelu Nanxian is the real daughter of Yelu Hongji.

The daughter who is married off, the water that is thrown out.

It is a dream to expect that the Khitan people will recognize the possibility of Zhao Xu's descendants inheriting the Khitan.

The Habsburg harem's strategy of opening up territories and expanding territory with a big stick was only suitable for Europe.

This won't work in East Asia.

During the Wu Hu period, Liu Yuan called himself the nephew of the Han Dynasty every day, and even the name of his country was named after the Han Dynasty.

is that useful?

Who admitted it?

Since ancient times, there is only a precedent for Zhou Shizong's nephew Chai Rong to inherit his uncle's estate.

This is because all the sons of Guo Wei died and there was no heir, so they adopted Chai Rong as their heir.

Therefore, Chai Rong’s name before and after his death was Guo Rong!

The reason why he changed his surname back to his original name was because Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty missed his old master and was afraid that no one would inherit and worship his old master's clan.

That’s why I kindly helped the late master clear his name!

Just doing good deeds.

Therefore, even if the direct line of the Yelu family of Liao Dynasty is extinct.

The legal system of the Liao Kingdom will not be inherited by Zhao Xu's future descendants.

Unless Zhao Xu is willing to let his child's surname be Yelu.

But this is impossible.

The child has his mother's surname, so what happened to the Zhao family?

The son-in-law of the Yelu family?

Zhao Xu himself was willing to agree, but no one in the world would agree.

Zhao Xu's real purpose was just to create a hot spot for the "Song-Liao Alliance" in the world.

Once there are signs of an alliance between Song and Liao, at least in the direction of Tubo, they will be able to defeat hundreds of thousands of troops.

At the same time, the Song Dynasty also had a grasp on the Western Regions.

The two combined can save at least 10 million yuan in military expenses.

As for marrying?

Of course it is possible.

But let’s talk about methods and methods.

If the Liao Kingdom married a princess, the Song Dynasty would definitely oppose it.

But if it's the other way around, it's the Liao Kingdom that wanted to be with the Song Dynasty, so it sent the princess to the court to fill the Song Dynasty's uterus.

Scholar-officials will not have much objection.

Some people may even be happy.

…

Jiangning City, Baoning Chanyuan.

The sunshine in summer is very hot.

Wang Anshi stood at the door of the Zen room, listening to the sound of the piano in the room.

Wearing plain clothes, he let out a sigh of relief.

From the sound of the piano, he heard sadness and loneliness.

After a long time, the sound of the piano finally stopped.

At this time, Wang Anshi finally opened the door of the Zen room.

He saw his daughter, wearing a white jacket, with her back to him, sitting in the meditation room, looking out the window.

Wang Anshi walked forward and saw his daughter's face covered with tears.

This talented woman who used to be amazing and beautiful in the past has been tortured by her marriage and has become a degenerate person. She can no longer see the romance and cheerfulness she had in the boudoir, only sadness and sadness are left.

"Magpie..." Wang Anshi called his daughter's nickname.

"Father." Wang Shuer stood up and bowed.

She was born to Wang Anshi when he was an official in Shuzhou, so she was named Shu.

He got his nickname because on the day he was born, a magpie appeared outside his door.

She was born three years after Huangyou, so she is actually thirty-five years old this year.

But the man looked haggard, as if he was over forty.

Wang Anshi looked at his beloved daughter's appearance and felt very distressed in his heart.

"The magpie girl can feel comfortable in the future..." Wang Anshi took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it over.

"This is the letter of departure written by Rugu herself and signed by Wu Anzhi."

"As long as you sign this letter, from now on you will no longer be Wu's wife, but will become your father's daughter again."

Wang Shuer looked at the thin piece of paper sent to her.

Her hands trembled.

After being married to Wu Anchi for more than ten years, she has never had a good life.

This is true even during the newlywed period.

Her husband always treated her with a cold face, and her aunts and sisters-in-law made things difficult for her in every possible way, even if she was pregnant or had a baby.

In the Wu family, her days were like years, and she washed her face with tears all day long.

But now, when she saw the piece of paper with the words: He Li Shu, she hesitated.

"Father..." She looked at her old father, with his slim and thin body.

"What did you pay for?"

She is no longer young or naive.

Of course, I know that the Wu family has always had advantages to take advantage of, and if there are no advantages, they have to find ways to create them.

Last year, when the late emperor passed away, the Wu family immediately sent a letter to the court. They actually asked their aunt (mother-in-law) to write to the two palaces, requesting the court to exempt the uncle (Wu Chong) from the property that he owed the country when he was still alive.

money.

This is pure shamelessness.

The Wu family succeeded, and within a few days, the Empress Dowager issued an edict to exempt the Wu family from the money they had misappropriated and misappropriated.

Now, since the Wu family is worried about her marriage, how can they not take advantage of the opportunity to sell her at a good price?

This is what she doesn't want to see.

The old father is already old.

Moreover, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager who are now in power do not like their old father.

If the old father wrote a letter to request something at this time, the two palaces would probably take the opportunity to blackmail, manipulate, or even deliberately humiliate him.

How could he let his father endure the anger and humiliation in the palace for his own sake?

Wang Anshi laughed and said: "Magpie Girl, my father has not done anything."

"I just want to let the Wu family know that if they don't reconcile, then all the Wu family's career will be affected."

"No, a few days ago, when Wu Anshi changed his official position, he was rejected by Wang Zishao, the Minister of Civil Affairs, on the grounds of 'insufficient qualifications and insufficient training'..."

This happened at the end of last month.

This was also the first thing that Wang Zishao did after taking office as the Minister of Rites - directly blocking the Wu family's upward path through legal procedures.

"In addition, Lu Dian expelled several members of the Wu family from Shangzhai in Taixue last month."

Lu Dian now presides over the Imperial Academy.

And the Shangzhai of Taixue are all quasi-Jinshi.

Being expelled from Shangzhai by Lu Dian all of a sudden meant that the efforts of those Wu family members for several years or even more than ten years were lost in one day.

Wang Shuer listened and looked at his old father in disbelief.

"Sir...this is you..."
