Wang Gui's style was decisive, and Li Chengdao had been influenced by this teacher in many ways.
On the other hand, Wei Zheng was much calmer.
After hearing Wang Gui's stiff words, Wei Zheng smiled and said,""Don't think like that. In my opinion, this Princess Anna is quite good.”
Wang Gui wanted to refute, but he suddenly thought of something and raised his eyebrows."What do you mean?"
Wei Zheng stroked his beard and said seriously,"Have you forgotten? Our Emperor is now twenty-five years old, but he still doesn't have a single consort in the harem.
Before the establishment of the empire, His Majesty was too focused on various matters to take in concubines.
However, now that His Majesty had already proclaimed himself emperor, it would be ridiculous if he did not have one or two concubines.”
Up until now, Li Chengdao did not have a single concubine in his harem. He had never been close to women.
Some people had tried to persuade him before, but Li Chengdao had rejected them all with the excuse that he had not achieved his great cause, had not taken revenge, and could not start a family.
From then on, the officials and soldiers also understood Li Chengdao's determination to take revenge and no longer mentioned this matter.
However, things were different now.
Li Chengdao destroyed Byzantine, established the Dagan Empire, and became the Emperor of Dagan.
If he didn't expand the harem and take in concubines now, it wouldn't make sense.
Throughout the past dynasties, which emperor did not have a harem full of beautiful women?
However, this was not their original intention. As the emperor, the first thing to do was to ensure the continuation of the bloodline. Otherwise, once he died, the entire country would fall into chaos.
"I think Princess Anna is a good choice.”
Wei Zheng said seriously.
Wang Gui frowned as he looked at his calm expression.
"She is just a princess of a fallen country. Even if she is somewhat beautiful, how can she be worthy of His Majesty?”
Wei Zheng didn't think so. He said,"Although the Byzantine Empire has fallen, it was once a huge empire that dominated the continent.
Princess Anna was a direct descendant of the royal family. In terms of identity and bloodline, she was completely compatible with His Majesty.
Moreover, if she entered the Emperor's harem, she could also appease and gather the old aristocratic forces, which was better than forcefully suppressing them.”
Wei Zheng was not shooting at random.
He had come to this conclusion after careful consideration.
Hearing this, Wang Gui could not help but fall into deep thought.
After a long time, he nodded and said,"In a few days, I will find an opportunity to ask His Majesty's opinion. It is also time for His Majesty to take a concubine.”
"Good."
Wei Zheng readily agreed.
Then, the two of them walked into the royal study together.
........
She took the initiative to look for Li Chengdao, but she didn't even see him. This made Princess Anna suffer a big blow.
However, Wang Gui's rebuke made her realize the reality.
Right now, she was just a princess of a fallen country. She had no power or status to speak of. She did not have to do whatever she wanted.
Li Chengdao was the current Emperor of Da Qian, and she could not decide whether he wanted to see her.
However, on the second day, Li Chengdao took the initiative to summon her.
In the royal study.
After Princess Anna walked into the royal study, she saw the person she wanted to see.
Li Chengdao was sitting behind the dragon table, focusing on the memorials on the table. He did not seem to notice her arrival.
Princess Anna's eyes moved slightly, but she didn't disturb him. Instead, she stood where she was and waited. At the same time, she carefully sized up Li Chengdao.
"This is the emperor who destroyed our empire."
Princess Anna had a complicated look in her eyes.
She was originally very resentful of Li Chengdao, but after calming down, she began to face the difference in status between the two of them and the young emperor.
She was only a few years older than him, but she had unparalleled military achievements. In just a few years, she defeated her father and established a huge empire.
Even the high and mighty Holy See had no choice but to submit to him.
All of this was not something that a human could do, but he had done it.
No matter from which aspect, Li Chengdao was the most outstanding person she had ever met. However, such a person was her father's murderer.
Just as Princess Anna's thoughts were in a mess, Li Chengdao also finished dealing with the things at hand.
He looked at Princess Anna and asked,""Zhen heard from the imperial guard that you waited outside the royal study for a long time yesterday and asked to see Zhen?”
Princess Anna came back to her senses and said,""Respected Holy Emperor, I…"
"Just address me as Your Majesty. Why are you looking for me?”
Li Chengdao rubbed his temples and frowned.
Princess Anna pursed her lips and said,""I have something to ask Your Majesty."
"My father has been beheaded by His Majesty. I hope that His Majesty can hand over his body to me and let me bury him.”
She wanted to retrieve her father Heraclius's body. This was the purpose of her visit to Li Chengdao.
Li Chengdao's gaze lingered on her for a moment before he said indifferently,""He was defeated by zhen, so zhen has the freedom to deal with him.
I still need his head to intimidate the nobles and expand my prestige among the people. What right do you have to ask me to hand over my body?”
The first half of the sentence was calm, but the second half was full of majesty.
Princess Anna was silent for a while. After a moment, she seemed to have made a decision. She suddenly knelt down in front of Li Chengdao and looked straight at him with her beautiful eyes.
"I have nothing now. Your Majesty, please pity me and agree to my small request. I am willing to serve Your Majesty with my body.”
Princess Anna said in a trembling voice, her eyes full of pleading.
It took all her courage to say this.
She didn't want her father's corpse to be cursed and insulted by others after his death.
Her only bargaining chip was her beauty and body.
Looking at Princess Anna, who was crying with a stubborn face, Li Chengdao was still expressionless and unmoved.
"I'm not interested. Get out."
After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to deal with government affairs, not looking at her again.
Princess Anna's delicate body trembled. She felt extremely humiliated.
Her body and appearance, as well as her identity as a princess, were worthless in Li Chengdao's eyes. She was not attractive at all.
Princess Anna stood up with a miserable smile. She wiped her tears and walked out of the royal study. Her back was thin and stubborn.
