The Dali Princess Came for a Marriage
At this moment, the official of the Chamberlain of Dependencies saw that there was no one around to report, so he stood up and said,
"Reporting to the Emperor and Empress Dowager, the Dali Kingdom's diplomatic delegation has arrived in the capital and is waiting in the Leaky Courtyard for His Majesty's summons!”
The empress dowager was silent.
"When did you come to the capital?" Zhu Houzhao asked.”
"Reporting to the Emperor, the Dali envoy arrived in the capital last night!"”
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly.”
Honglu Temple Shaoqing replied,"Yes!"”
Dali was a small border country next to Ming.
The royal family were all martial artists in the martial arts world. They also followed the rules of the martial arts world, so they had a good reputation in the martial arts world.
In addition, they were also famous for the martial arts of the Duan family of Dali.
Yiyang Finger's fame spread far and wide, and no one dared to offend him.
The most famous one was the Dali National Temple: Heavenly Dragon Temple.
The imperial family's experts who had cultivated the Great Perfection of the Single Solar Finger in the past would eventually hide in the Heavenly Dragon Temple to comprehend the Six Pulses Divine Sword.
They were prepared to defend against a strong enemy at any time.
However, just because the martial arts world was powerful did not mean that the country was also powerful.
Dali sent Princess Duan Xinyao this time because they wanted to form a marriage alliance with Zhu Houzhao so that they could fight against the Mongol Empire together.
Duan Xinyao was accompanied by the famous Southern Garrison King, Duan Zheng Chun.
It was obvious that Dali attached great importance to this marriage.
Zhu Houzhao had already known about this.
Although the West Military Hall was still weak, they were still well-informed. After the West Military Hall informed him, the memorial of the Temple of Dependencies was handed over to the cabinet by Li Dongyang.
The official of the Chamberlain of Dependencies retreated and whispered a few words to the eunuch at the entrance of the hall. The eunuch immediately ordered another young eunuch.
The young eunuch dashed towards the Leaky Courtyard.
Not long after.
The young eunuch led a delicate and beautiful foreign woman and a dignified middle-aged man with a beard to the front of the throne room.
"Xuan! The princesses of Dali Kingdom, Duan Xinyao and Duan Zhengchun, are here for an audience!”
The shout fell.
The official of the Chamberlain of Dependencies led the two into the throne room.
"Duan Xin Yao and Duan Zheng Chun pay their respects to His Majesty!”
Arriving at the foot of the steps, the two bowed slightly.
However, Zhu Houzhao didn't pay any attention to him. He glanced at Zhao Gao with his emotionless dragon eyes.
Zhao Gao immediately understood. He stepped forward and raised his voice, asking,"Envoy of Dali, why didn't you kneel when you saw the Emperor of Ming?!”
His voice was powerful.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Duan Xinyao's face immediately became angry.
She didn't expect that she would have to kneel when she saw Zhu Houzhao. Just as he was about to retort, he saw Duan Zhengchun kneeling down.
She could only suppress her anger and kneel down.
"Rise."
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Duan Xinyao with his dragon eyes. He felt that this woman was pretty, but she didn't know the rules.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Only then did the two of them stand up.
"Why have you come to my empire?" Zhu Houzhao asked coldly.”
"Your Majesty, Princess Duan Xinyao of the Dali Special Task Force has come here to marry Your Majesty.”
"Secondly, Dali is willing to form an alliance with your country to deal with the brutal Mongol Empire! To avoid being devoured by the Mongol Empire.”
Duan Zhengchun said as he bowed.
Zhu Houzhao knew all of this and was just asking as usual.
"I will discuss this matter with my subjects. You can leave now.”
Duan Zhengchun didn't seem surprised by this. He nodded and said,""Dali Kingdom sincerely wants to form an alliance with China to fight against Mongolia. I hope Your Majesty can reconsider.”
After saying that, Duan Zhengchun and Duan Xinyao left.
Following that, a few more officials reported.
Including Xie Qian's request to withdraw from the cabinet.
After Zhu Houzhao dealt with it with a few words, the palm-print eunuch Zhao Gao shouted for the court to retreat.
Xie Qian's abdication was obviously the Empress Dowager's intention.
However, he could forget about taking it back.
After the morning court session began.
Other than scolding Xie Qian, the Empress Dowager did not say anything else.
The Emperor had always been the one handling court affairs and talking to the envoy of Dali.
What did this mean?
It was connected to the Empress Dowager's concession on the matter of Zhao Gao, the supervisor of the East Chamber.
Many officials faintly understood that the empress dowager was no longer the one making decisions in the court.
Many ministers had thoughts about this small change in the royal court, and their positions were wavering.
The officials left the throne room.
Zhu Budian and the empress dowager, who was getting up and preparing to leave behind the curtain, looked at each other with a fiery look, then turned around and left.
He looked at their backs.
Zhu Houzhao's lips curled into a meaningful smile as he slowly stood up from his throne."East Hall, you did well."
Zhao Gao lowered his head in surprise."This subject does not dare to claim credit. This is Your Majesty's divine decision.”
"Tell Chief Li and Liu Jian to meet me at the Palace of Heavenly Purity.”
"I want to discuss with them about the marriage alliance between Dali Kingdom and the Mongolia.”
After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he dragged the Black Dragon Cannon and left.
The six Zongshi realm auras hiding in the dark also left quickly.
...
Inside the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
In front of Zhu Houzhao stood the chief assistant of the cabinet, Li Dongyang, and the second assistant, Liu Jian.
"Your Majesty, I think that forming an alliance with Dali is a good thing! The Mongol Empire was eyeing them covetously from the side. Once Dali was destroyed, the next step would be to target Great Ming. The relationship between Da Ming and Da Li was like lips and teeth. It was better to use him to fight against Mongolia together!”
Li Dongyang said slowly.
After recuperating for the past few days, the injuries on his body had recovered a lot.
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly.
Liu Jian was good at reading people's expressions.
He saw Zhu Houzhao's appearance and guessed that the Emperor already had an idea in his mind, so he asked,"What do you think, Your Majesty?"
"Zhen"
After pondering for a while, Zhu Houzhao began to speak.
