Chapter 103 Looking forward to
Who knew that Zhao Xiao refused without thinking about it?
Not only that, he also said to Zhao Xi very tactfully: "The emperor is not old or small, but he has always been steadfast. I am very pleased when I see it, and I hope that the emperor will lead the ministers to clean up the chaos and revitalize the mountains and rivers. If I don't say something, the emperor should also understand in my heart. The northerners are straightforward and open, but the southerners are constantly changing. What they say may not be what they think. If the emperor wants to gain a foothold in the south, it will take a lot of effort. The emperor's marriage is not only related to the stability of the harem, but also to the court. I am worried about the emperor, so I said more. Please don't blame me! I don't have any candidates, but I just thought that the late emperor had gone early and many things that should be arranged could not be arranged. If the emperor alone, if he could have someone to accompany him, the emperor would be happy, and the ministers would be happy."
This was the first time Zhao Xi heard such thoughts about him, and he felt warm and couldn't help but say, "If you were still in the palace, you can discuss this with the Empress Dowager..."
Now that he is alone, can he still ask Han Tongxin to marry him?
In the eyes of those who are interested, most of them will think that he is in charge of power!
Han Tongxin knew about it, and he would not make a big fuss!
Zhao Xiao thought for a moment when he heard this and said, "If the emperor can trust me, why don't you let me talk to King Jian?"
Zhao Xi showed gratitude on his face.
Zhao Xiao took some time to visit King Jian.
When King Jian knew his purpose, he was very surprised and said, "The emperor is only thirteen years old this year, so there is no need to get married so early, right? He has to wait until the emperor is sixteen years old. Just watch this marriage slowly!"
Zhao Xiao returned in vain.
Zhao Xi thought in his heart when he would get married.
A Fu muttered privately: "The emperor's marriage is not just for the sake of scattering. King Jian said this, but he doesn't want the emperor to get married sooner, right? Otherwise, the emperor will take power, and what's wrong with him? You don't know. I heard that Prince Jian was drunk in the gentle village after he arrived in Jiangnan, and he was jealous of some famous scholars in Jiangnan, and his reputation was extremely bad. Everyone just pretended not to know for the sake of King Jian. If we don't say anything else, our emperor will not allow Prince Jian to make trouble like this. Of course, Prince Jian can delay the emperor's marriage by one day. Maybe when the emperor is sixteen years old, he will say that the emperor is still young and will have to wait until the crown prince is crowned!"
Someone has passed this to Zhao Xi's ears.
Zhao Xisi thought about it over and over again, but he really thought it made sense.
He secretly found a female official to visit Han Tongxin.
Han Tongxin never thought about Zhao Xi's marriage at all. In her opinion, Zhao Xi was still young and would have to wait until at least fifteen or sixteen years old before she could say a marriage. Moreover, Zhao Xi was the emperor, so there was no need to worry about what kind of woman she liked and could not marry. But the female official reminded her. She thought about it carefully. After all, she had no blood relationship with Zhao Xi. Now that Zhao Xi could not take power, she naturally had to listen to her. When Zhao Xi took power, she might not be able to control her son.
She thought of several nieces in her family and said casually, "Even if the emperor wants to get married, he should choose one from the daughter of the Han family."
The female official smiled and said, "Yes" and praised the Han family's daughter fiercely. Until Han Tongxin smiled, she then let out a long sigh and retreated. She thought, fortunately, Cai Ruyi was not in the palace today. If Cai Ruyi was in the palace, she would have seen through her thoughts long ago.
Thinking of this, the female official stood in the yard and was stunned for a while.
Cai Ruyi is also a strange man. She lives in the empress dowager's palace with her son all year round. Even the Marquis of Jinghai did not go back to gather with her husband when she was in Jinling. Zhao Jiantong was not young anymore, and she did not let her son avoid suspicion. The women in the palace spent their entire lives making a living in this small place. Everyone has their own little thoughts. If something scandal happens, the reputation of the widowed empress dowager will be damaged. Why doesn't the empress dowager think about the power of this?
However, if the Empress Dowager knew that she thought so, she might not have been led by Cai Ruyi. What Cai Ruyi said would be!
She sighed softly and quietly went back to Zhao Xi with someone on her back.
After hearing this, Zhao Xi almost couldn't help but sweep the teacup at his hand to the ground.
Among the girls in the Han family, except for the youngest Miss Seven, who is born in the legitimate family, the rest of the women are born in illegitimate family. The Seven is only five years old this year.
Could it be that he would marry a girl nine years younger than him?
Then won’t the affairs of the inner palace continue to be in the hands of Han Tongxin?
Maybe this is Han Tongxin’s purpose!
Or would he ask him to marry a legitimate daughter from the Han family?
The thought flashed, and his face turned blue with anger.
He is a serious royal nobleman, what is the Han family? If he hadn't married Princess Dongyang, he wouldn't know where to dig up the dirt in a corner? When was it the Han family's turn to pick on him? Why didn't his father marry Princess Jianan?
If it were him, even if he was executed first and then reported, he would find a way to marry Princess Jianan.
The Jiang family in Zhenguo Duke’s Mansion is the real meritorious nobleman.
What is the Han family?
But now the situation is better than him. The Han family can indeed dominate his marriage!
He walked back and forth in the bedroom, his nails bleeded, and his mood slowly calmed down.
After the grand court meeting the next day, Zhao Xi left Zhao Xiao gossip.
When everyone around him retreated, he grabbed Zhao Xiao's hand and begged: "Mr. Marquis save me!"
Zhao Xiao was shocked.
He had already set up his eyes and ears in the palace, and whenever Zhao Xi was making any noise, he would get news. But he didn't get any news last night.
Fortunately, Zhao Xi was afraid that Han Tongxin's people would hear it, so he did not keep it in hiding. Instead, he told Zhao Xiao directly what Han Tongxin said, and said angrily: "The girl from the Han family is violent and unethical. How can I marry the girl from the Han family? The Marquis must help me in this matter!"
Who can resist the emperor’s marriage?
Zhao Xiao was not like Wang Jidao and others. Wang Jidao and others had experienced the Liao King's throne. They always felt in their hearts that if it weren't for them, Zhao Xi would not have been the emperor. In addition, Zhao Xi was still young and had a miserable image at that time. After ascending the throne, he was always suppressed by Han Tongxin and did not dare to move. In the minds of Wang Jidao and others, they felt that Zhao Xi was still young. Although he did not make any mistakes in his words and actions, he lacked some sincere respect. Zhao Xiao only started to contact Zhao Xi after the court went south, so he would naturally observe carefully and figure out Zhao Xi's character. He knew that Zhao Xi was not only sensitive and suspicious, but also cold and cruel. Therefore, no matter what he did, he appeared in front of Zhao Xi as a loyal minister.
For example, Zhao Xi’s marriage this time, he knew that King Jian and others had not considered it, but he brought it up at this time, just to catch King Jian and others off guard so that he could gain Zhao Xi’s trust and let Zhao Xi marry a wife who was beneficial to him.
He was happy, but pretended to be embarrassed on his face and hesitated: "It's not that I don't want to share my worries for the emperor, but that I really don't have any good candidates!"
