Chapter 1093 The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (two hundred and fifteen)

Wei Ying advocated rejecting the marriage and instead requiring the Mongols to pay tribute.

In Wei Ying's view, the two countries could not communicate on an equal footing. Meng could only be a vassal state, and had to pay tribute to Zhao regularly, learn Zhao's etiquette, and accept Zhao's management. Otherwise, he was willing to lead his troops to fight again and incorporate Meng's territory into Zhao, but the emperor disagreed.

Her father, Prime Minister Song, also said that he could not agree to the marriage, as it would not solve any problems and would only embolden the Mongols. However, on this matter, the emperor seemed to feel that Prime Minister Song and Wei Ying, the father-in-law and son-in-law, were of one mind and posed a threat to him, so he forbad them to mention it again.

The interactions between civil officials and military generals were indeed sensitive, but in order to prevent his son from winning over powerful court officials, the emperor once took the initiative to grant a marriage between Wei Ying and Qing Li. However, as time passed, he was now old and weak, and he began to worry that the newcomer would not be able to suppress the court officials.

The emperor did not care about the future of his granddaughter. Perhaps she was the granddaughter born to his eldest son and a concubine. In the emperor's eyes, she was just a bastard's daughter. He had never even seen her, so how could he have any feelings for her?

Qingli felt that since the Mongols were not trustworthy, what use would the alliance to stop the war be?

After Wei Ying drove the Mongols out of Zhao's territory, an agreement was signed. However, when the Mongols discovered that Fuchen had invaded Zhao and Zhao Lan had rebelled, they thought it was profitable and began to provoke war on the border between the two countries.

Although war must have a legitimate reason, the Mongols don't care. What they care about is profitability.

If the problem is not solved from the root, and the foundation for the Mongols' fighting and survival is cut off, they will tear up the new agreement in a few years.

She drank silently, feeling a little heavy-hearted.

The emperor was not yet sixty years old, and with the tragic deaths of his sons, his fear grew.

Wei Ying probably knew what his wife was thinking, but he also understood that the emperor didn't dare to touch him and Prime Minister Song.

"Madam, please drink less. It's not good for your health."

"Ok."

Her husband whispered in her ear to persuade her, and Qingli didn't have to drink, so she put down her glass.

Not long after, Qingli sobered up when the emperor issued a new decree.

Grant a marriage between Zhao Yu and Guo Youbai?

Did something go wrong?

Are the heroic female general and the fat and stupid prince a good match?

Does this match?

How did the emperor have the nerve to use words like "talented man and beautiful woman, a match made in heaven" in his imperial edict?

In fact, even if Guo Youbai returned to her female body, her clothes were more neutral, her cheeks were tanned by wind and sun, and she did not have the softness and fair complexion of the noble ladies in the capital, and she did not wear any makeup on her face. It was a kind of free and easy beauty that ordinary people could not appreciate.

Was the emperor trying to completely win over the Guo family to the imperial court? Was he trying to find Zhao Yu a powerful wife? Would the Guo family agree? Would Guo Youbai agree? Would Zhao Yu agree?

"Father, Miss Guo has already reached marriage age, right? She is very pretty... and I am still young..."

"Yu'er, hurry up and thank me! You're not young anymore, it's time to start a family and build a career!"

Zhao Yu had just said one sentence when he was glared at by Concubine Shu, who interrupted him. He looked at his mother with grievance and did not move.

Concubine Shu quickly praised Guo Youbai again and again, and seemed very satisfied with Guo Youbai.

Not to mention Zhao Yu was unhappy, even Guo Youbai was unhappy, but the emperor had already said with a cold face, scolded Zhao Yu for being ungrateful, and asked the two to be husband and wife in the future.

"The Guo family is loyal to the imperial family. General Guo's daughter is a brave warrior, far more capable than a lazy prince like you. My decree has been issued. How can you be so presumptuous here? My words are not a joke. How dare you, an unfilial son, kneel down to receive my decree!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down! I thank you for granting me the marriage."

The emperor got angry and called him an "unfilial son". This was a serious remark, and Zhao Yu was so scared that he immediately knelt on the ground.

The emperor was also hinting at things and warning the Guo family. In this situation, Guo Youbai wanted the emperor to take back his decision, but naturally it was impossible. He could only kneel down with Zhao Yu to receive the order.

Is Zhao Yu's status as the future crown prince valuable? Of course it is.

But what those people gave to Zhao Yu were just women from side branches or even those with little status. They had no intention of marrying their carefully raised daughters to Zhao Yu.
