—In the entire Qi dynasty, there are only three people who can exert pressure on Princess Meng Qingqian.
The first one, needless to say, is the prime minister Han Wenxin, who is in charge of half of the country.
The second is the young, but the young emperor who represents the orthodoxy of the Great Qi.
The third one is Meng Qingqian’s own mother, the Empress Dowager Li.
The Empress Dowager is no longer involved in politics. No military power is in her hands, and her financial resources are not abundant, at most. She can only use some of the resources belonging to her mother’s family, the Jiangnan Li family. But she has a unique advantage in dealing with Meng Qingqian, which is that she is her mother.
The parents’ influence on their children is enormous.
As a result of this, no matter how powerful Meng Qingqian is, she still has to have her mother’s nod in the matter of marriage.
In other words, although the Queen Mother can not hold Meng Qingqian’s head, let her to like anyone, but she can prevent Meng Qingqian from getting married. Therefore, Yang Zhe wants to move the crooked brain, in addition to Meng Qingqian herself, but also have to please the empress dowager.
However, before, Hexi Yang had also heard of the reputation of the Empress Dowager and thought she was nothing more than that, not enough to worry about.
Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager was following the trend in the imperial government, but could be so strong in her children’s private affairs.
As soon as Yang Xingguang heard that the Empress Dowager was going to give her daughter to the He family, he immediately panicked.
Yang Xingguang knew that the Yang clan, sooner or later, had to be handed over to Yang Zhe. After all, he was a rare scholar in both literature and martial arts in Qi. Yang Zhe, the nephew of the clan, is good at everything, but only on emotion, as if obsessed with the devil, and is bent on Xiaoyue -Meng Qingqian}. (Nick names used by very close people only basically her mom & sister. Same as Nanzhu for Meng Qingrou)
This woman, both in vision, ability, and skill, not to mention Yin Jing, is the Qi State. There are few people are not impressed. If she can really combine with Yang Zhe, this couple, will be able to ensure the prosperity of the Yang clan in Hexi hundred years.
Therefore, Yang Xingguang himself, together with the Yang family almost abandoned the once wavering neutral position, followed Yang Zhe bravely to Meng family.
Not looking for anything else, just a person.
With people, with the talents of the two of them, any resources can be doubled to earn back.
Now people are almost gone. Even Yang Xingguang, who has always acted in a spicy manner, is also a bit restless.
This is not just a child’s love, is the matter, and yang’s countless resources invested in these years. If they really can not get to marry Meng Qingqian, all these resources will be wasted. but also counted as a loss of most.
Yang Xingguang did not care to wipe the official uniform wet with tea, immediately got up and kneeled down, and persuaded: “Empress Dowager think twice! Her Highness is busy with political affairs, can not wilfully married, so we have no leader!”
Huang Qinghe saw that Minister Yang had already led the charge, and naturally, he followed the group with a sharp flash, and also persuaded: “The Empress Dowager consider again!”
Nanzhu’s marriage will not affect He Yuanhao’s position, but the same cannot be said of Meng Qingqian. If she marries, it may be possible for He to change in position, and Han and Meng will be evenly matched, and once the two sides were evenly matched, that would be very bad.
Lu Liang also chose to follow the group, “The Empress Dowager thinks twice!”
Li Gongqin had the status of a relative compared to them, and although he was the Empress Dowager’s nephew, he knew his aunt’s temperament, so he immediately greeted the smart palace maids in the Empress Dowager’s palace and went to Chang He Palace to invite the rightful owner over.
And then Li Gongqin also advised, “Empress Dowager, it would be best for Her Highness to ask for His Highness’s opinion on the marriage.”
He Yuanhao went to court every day and knew Meng Qingqian’s ability. With Meng Qingqian’s methods, he was not afraid that she would not be able to control He Yunxiao.
He Yuanhao simply said: “What the Empress Dowager said is very true, it is my fault that I did not prepare a complete bridal gift. I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I think that adding more items to the gift list would take time and effort, and I would have to ask the Empress Dowager to look at them again, which would be too much trouble. I think that I should prepare another copy of the bride price on this gift list, and propose to marry Princess Yiyue with double that amount!”
The Empress Dowager’s eyes lit up.
She felt that like her son, He Yunxiao was not a simple man, and He Yuanhao was also a talented man!
One bride-price was indeed not enough. Two would be more than enough.
“Good! I am very satisfied with this. Then the matter will be ……”
Seeing that the Empress Dowager was about to agree, Li Gongqin was so anxious that his head was sweating.
He knew in his heart that his cousin could not possibly agree to this marriage, and he also knew that his aunt was just talking on the spur of the moment and could not be counted on. But his aunt’s position was so great that it was inappropriate for her to say yes.
The aunt is always vulnerable to her cousin, and the matter can be resolved if the Princess herself comes.
Li Gongqin frequently looked at the entrance, but still the figure of Meng Qinghao was not seen.
Yang Xingguang is even more anxious than Li Gongqin. For other families, Meng Qingqian’s marriage is just a matter of watching the fun and bleeding, and there is no leader at all. But for the Yang family, this is a major event that will affect the family’s future for a hundred years!
Let alone a hundred years, according to Yang Zhe’s personality, if Meng Qingqian marries someone, he will go insane, and if not, he will take revenge on the family for the whole thing. If this happens, it is uncertain whether there will be a Yang family in the future.
He Yuanhao, this old bastard, has no martial virtue at all, and he comes up with a sneak attack!
To double the betrothal gift on the spot, is that something a human being can do?
Yang Xingguang said in a deep voice: “Your Majesty, think twice! Her Highness’s marriage needs to be considered in the long run! Once Her Highness is married, who will be in charge of the civil and military officials and all the clans? Who will take care of the great country of our emperor? What will happen to the talented men of Qi, such as Yang Zhe, who admire Her Majesty day and night?”
The Empress Dowager did not think much about the situation at that time, but when she heard Yang Xingguang say this, she understood the situation better.
It was indeed a bit impulsive to marry off Xiaoyue at this time.
The Empress Dowager said, “Marquis, you should keep the gift list for now, and after three years, when Xiaoyue has handed over power and His Majesty is on the throne, you can then ……”
He Yuanhao put on the stance of a superior general and said, “Empress Dowager, please listen to my words.”
The Empress Dowager said, “You may speak.”
He Yuanhao said in a loud voice: “It is said that a country cannot be without a king for a day, and I deeply believe that. But now, the king is still here, the ministers are still here, the officials are still here, and the army of Qi is still here. All the men of Qi are alive and well, so why should we rely on a weak woman to support us? Our dynasty pays out millions of salaries every year, and there are tens of thousands of officials at each level. If you can’t make decisions on everything and have to rely on Her Highness to decide, what use would the court have for you?”
Huang Qinghe retorted, “Lord He, you have the Prime Minister’s backing, so you don’t care about our pain!”
Then He Yuanhao said proudly, “Alright! Tomorrow, I will take off this official uniform, let the Princess live in the marquis’ residence, and I will put on my armour to guard the frontier!”
When Lu Liang heard that He Yuanhao was going to guard the frontier, he said, “That’s no good. How can our army go south if you guard the frontier?
Lu Liang was more afraid of He Yuanhao guarding the frontier than Meng and Han being weak. “I suddenly feel that it is indeed excellent for Her Highness to marry the Marquis family!”
Yang Xingguang saw that Lu Liang had turned against him, so he didn’t care about losing face.
On the spot, he said, “Your Majesty! In ancient times, marriage is all about the right family. Her Highness has a distinguished background, and if she is to marry a ruler of a country, she should do so. If not, it would have to be a duke’s house or a powerful family. The He House is only a newly promoted marquis’s house, how can it be worthy of Her Highness’ marriage?”
When Yang Xingguang said this, the entire room was shocked.
In the whole of Yinjing, there were very few people who dared to say that the He family and the He House were not good enough, and very few who were in a position to say that the He family was not good enough. The Yang family, a major family in the Hexi region, is an all-powerful clan, with a hundred-year history of unfailing success, and has deep roots. It is true that the Yang family can overwhelm the newly promoted Marquis in terms of their family heritage.
It is well known that a family can overpower a Marquis, but it takes a lot of courage to dare to disrespect a Marquis in public.
The Empress Dowager’s chambers were silent for a moment.
At that moment, a thunderous sound of metal hitting the ground was heard.
“Bam!”
Before anyone could see what the object was, He Yuanhao, the Marquis, picked it up before anyone else.
Holding it up and dusting it off. He Yuanhao laughed, “Oops, I accidentally dropped the military amulet on the ground. I’m sorry everyone, you go on, I’ll see if this iron lump is broken.”
