"Eunuch Li, the Empress sent me to pass a message for you to go over.”
Little Qing stood in front of Li Xian and said.
Li Xian recognized this palace maid at a glance. She was none other than Empress Zhang Yan's personal maid.
"Alright, I'll go over now!"
With that, Li Xian followed Little Qing to the Palace of Earthly Tranquility.
Zhang Yan was going to be married to Xi Sect in two days. She had been locked up all day to prepare for the wedding.
That was why he didn't take the time to thank Li Xian.
Moreover, ever since that day, Zhang Yan had always been unable to forget the matter of Li Xian and her in the lake that day.
There seemed to still be some lingering warmth from that day on the corner of his mouth.
……
Outside the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Zhu Youzheng of the Xi Sect was holding a small hammer in his hand. In front of him was a treasure box that was about to be completed.
There were also a few carpenters who were making the final carving on the treasure box.
Zhu Youxiao looked at the treasure box that he had personally made and was about to be completed. His face was filled with joy.
"Your Majesty, Left Vice Imperial Censor Yang Lian, Left Qian Imperial Censor Zuo Guangdou, Minister of History Zhao Nanxing, Guanglu Temple Deputy Gao Panlong, Minister of War Sun Chengzong, and Taipu Temple Shaoqing Yuan Keli have all requested an audience.”
Wang An hurriedly walked in from outside the hall and bowed beside Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao frowned.
"What are they doing here?"
Upon hearing that these people had come together, Zhu Youxiao knew that something bad was going to happen.
"Your Majesty, it is said that the barbarians from Liaodong have already entered the capital.”Wang An whispered.
"Alright, alright, let them all disperse. Let the lords in.”
Zhu Youxiao hurriedly arranged the carpenters in the Palace of Heavenly Purity outside the hall.
If those people saw this group of carpenters, they would definitely lecture him on the principle of governing the country.
After tidying up everything in the hall, the ministers walked into the shop.
Zhu Youxiao sat listlessly on the dragon throne.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The Donglin Party led by Yang Lian saluted Zhu Youxiao who was sitting on the dragon throne.
"Alright, dear ministers, when is it not just today?”Zhu Youxiao looked at the crowd below and asked.
Yang Lian lowered his head and nodded to Taipu Temple's Shaoqing Yuan Keli.
Yuan Keli stood out.
"Your Majesty, Nurhachi of the Jin Kingdom has brought a letter of credence and sent people to congratulate Your Majesty on your wedding. The people who have come to congratulate you have already arrived in Shangjing.”
Yuan Keli said.
"Oh?"
Zhu Youxiao raised his eyebrows after hearing it.
"Why did Nurhachi come personally? Are they planning to take revenge on me?”
Zhu Youxiao asked.
After hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, the faces of the Donglin Party officials standing beside His Highness turned dark.
"Your Majesty, the Jin Kingdom is not here for revenge. They are here to marry a princess of my Ming Dynasty and establish a good relationship with the two countries.”Zhao Nanxing said.
"Marry the princess? What do they mean?"
Zhu Youxiao frowned.
"Your Majesty, my Great Ming has been fighting for years. In addition to the defeat last year, we suffered heavy losses. If we can marry with the Jin Country, it might not be a bad thing.”
Wang An lowered his eyes and listened to the words of the so-called auxiliary ministers below.
Now that the two countries were on bad terms, the Great Jin Kingdom was eyeing Liaodong like a tiger eyeing its prey.
How could it be solved by a marriage alliance?
"Yang Lian, Chengzu said that even if our Great Ming fought to the last soldier, why would we need a marriage alliance? Don't mention this again. Zhu Youxiao looked at Yang Lian and the others in the hall below.
"Your Majesty, now that the national treasury is empty and Liaodong is in danger, it is not impossible to ease the situation between the two countries.”
Yang Lian and the others said in unison.
Zhu Youjian rubbed the space between his eyebrows and waved at Yang Lian and the others.
"Go down, we'll discuss it now!"
