Yan Wuzhan looked on in amusement and felt unwell. Even in today's society, not to mention ancient times, it was the same.
In just a little while, the entire hall had regained its solemn aura. Everyone stood orderly, and looked towards the opposite side expressionlessly, waiting for the two princes from Sea Nation.
Wasn't it just Second Prince? Why is there a Seventh Prince?
While he was deep in thought, two exceptional young masters walked into the hall. One of them was dressed in white, the other was dressed in purple, and in their hands was a folding fan.
"Ocean View, Hai Gu greets the Ann Nation Emperor ~"
"There is no need for the two guests to be so courteous, quickly rise. I wonder what business you two have coming from afar?"
Yan Wuzhan went straight to the point as he sized up the scene secretly. His eyebrows were sharp, his eyes were like stars, his face was like jade, and between his brows, there was a hint of ruthlessness. He was indeed a character.
Hai Jing changed his expression when he first saw Qi Meng. He took out a book from his chest with a serious expression and looked at Yan Wuzhan arrogantly:
"Hai Jing came here to propose marriage to Ann Nation, but didn't expect to run into little brother Hai Gu on the way, so he brought him here as well. Your majesty, Hai Jing asks that you betroth Princess Qimeng to me.
Yan Wuzhan's expression turned cold, and he motioned for the eunuch to bring the book to him. He stared at Hai Jing as he wondered what this person wanted to do, how did he get to know Cen Shuang’er, and how did he get close to Qi Meng?
"I don't know if this marriage contract was written by the late emperor, but we'll discuss this after we've found the late emperor. The two princes will stay in the palace for a while. Servants, see the guests out!"
That's it?
He didn't acknowledge nor ask if the marriage certificate was real, and wanted him to wait for Yan Yihan at the Ann Nation Palace?
Hai Jing didn't expect this to happen. He originally thought that his Sea Nation would be strong, but Yan Wuzhan had thought that he would be able to take advantage of the border war to form an alliance with him …
He didn't believe that Yan Wuzhan would not be moved by a princess from the previous dynasty in exchange for a peaceful country.
"According to Your Majesty's orders, if the previous emperor doesn't return to the palace, will the marriage be allowed or not?"
"Let this matter be discussed again and again. The borders of our two countries have been in turmoil time and time again. You should deliver yourself to the door and wait for the emperor to come bring you back. We can only decide after we ask Qi Meng about the marriage!"
His own marriage didn't go as planned. Other people's marriage, what the hell does it matter? What's more, whether or not Yan Yihan had a marriage contract with Sea Nation, this still needs to be investigated. Sea Nation, we will take all of you down in half a year!
"Princes, please!"
The two of them were brought out of the hall. The emperor doesn't seem to like this Sea Nation, Second Prince?
The officials didn't say a single word from start to finish. They all knew about the emperor's taciturn actions. Is it really good to just kick him out like this?
After they had left, the old officials could no longer hold themselves back.
"Your majesty, Sea Nation is the most difficult nation to deal with. Now that they have taken the initiative to show their goodwill, why not push the boat with the current? Wouldn't it be better if there were to be no more disputes between the two countries?"
"That's right. With this, the people at the borders of the Sea Nation will also be at peace. We don't need to send troops to pacify the enemies, your majesty …"
"Don't talk about it anymore. We have our own decisions to make regarding this matter. Let's discuss it after our wedding!"
"..."
Back to the beginning?
"Your Majesty, this old subject has two methods. Your Majesty loves the Imperial Advisor, so how about bestowing the title Imperial Consort on a woman with superior morals and virtue?"
"That's right, I think that Princess Mu Yue of Xiang Cheng is as beautiful as a fairy. She is knowledgeable, knows how to draw and carve, and possesses a Xiang Cheng that can dominate the world with her weapon. If we could be together with them …"
"I think it's better to be the daughter of City Lord Ye. She is a natural born beauty, and her talent is even more …"
"How can her status compare to that of Xiang Cheng!"
"…"
"Hmph, stop talking about who's better. In my opinion, all of the women in this world together aren't as good as a Imperial Advisor!"
"Your Majesty, Imperial Advisor is a virtuous and virtuous person, rarely seen in this world. Not to mention making her a descendant, even if she was a god, this subject would still agree!"
"This subject agrees!"
"This official …"
The new generation of officials all knelt down. The older generation was so angry that they blew their beard and glared. Were these people trying to rebel?
"You heartless juniors! Do you still have any ancestors in your hearts? "
"This old man, this old man ~"
Pavilion Elder Yan's eyes rolled back as he fainted. The people of the imperial court hurriedly went forward to help him up, calling him the imperial physician. He immediately made a mess, and that was true, this was the only old man in Yan Family, and he couldn't bear any provocation.
"Withdraw!"
Yan Wuzhan left his seat with a face full of anger. He didn't even look at the chaos in the field and just let out a deep sigh. Were these people trying to force him to become the emperor? If he didn't become the emperor, then he wouldn't be the emperor!
"Your majesty, your majesty ~"
"What should we do? The emperor must be furious!"
"Why can't the Emperor marry the Imperial Advisor? How can the Imperial Advisor be worse than others?"
"Stop arguing ~ Let's settle Old Yan first before we discuss anything else."
Outside the hall, Zuo Qing and Wei Zheng stood side by side, "Sir Wei, hearing the words of the new officials today is not without reason, how can the Imperial Advisor push further?"
"That's right, her contributions are too great. It's all because of her that we'll be scolded by the people if she only gives us the position of Consort!"
"It's really hard to do. My status is low, but my achievements are at the peak of the world. This matter …" "I think we should just do as the emperor says. How about we take a walk around the streets and listen to what the commoners have to say?"
"Mm, let's go. The emperor is back. The two brothers and you can relax and go have a drink together!"
The bustle of the capital was much more prosperous than two months ago. All the stores here had a "waiter", and the crowd here was filled with confidence and hope. It was completely different from the situation in the past where the commoners would only lower their heads to travel.
"Wei Xiang, Imperial Advisor is truly a peerless genius, a god of my Ann Nation. No wonder she is so popular, did you hear, just a few youngsters were discussing about her marriage. Sigh, about this matter, let us discuss it properly once again."
"That's right, the people's hearts cannot be disobeyed. In the dynasty, not only did the king change his master, but the way people think has also changed. The Imperial Advisor is right, morality does not see etiquette, but mutual respect between people."
Hahaha, this old man even wrote a long line of words in the hall, warning himself not to have any thoughts of respecting the Emperor, for fear that he would not be able to keep up with the Imperial Advisor. Qingqing and the noble daughter are even busier busy with matters than I, the Prime Minister.
"There are still a lot of things that you and I don't know about. Do you know what the current Heaven's End City is like? In a short four months, a road that can allow eight carriages to go side by side has actually been broken through.
