Looking at Wu Meiniang's puzzled expression, Ying Zheng smiled.
Immediately after.
"I want you to be my daughter-in-law."”
What?
Wu Meiniang's waist suddenly straightened, and her beautiful face was filled with astonishment. She was in a bad mood.
"Your Majesty, what did you say?"
Wu Meiniang probed.
Haha!
It must be my illusion.
I must have heard wrongly.
Ying Zheng's expression was still calm, as if he had predicted Wu Meiniang's reaction. He continued,""I want you to marry my 19th Prince, win Chang 'an, and become the future Empress of Great Qin.”
Boom!
As soon as these words were said, Wu Meiniang was instantly stunned on the spot, as if she had heard a bolt from the blue.
After being stunned for a long time, her expression gradually turned cold and she said in a deep voice,"Your Majesty, stop joking."
He had come here to borrow soldiers, but in the end, he had lost himself?
What kind of thing was this?
Wu Meiniang did not know if she was dreaming or if Ying Zheng's brain was fried.
To think that he could come up with such a ridiculous and comical statement.
"Zhen never jokes."
The smile on Ying Zheng's face gradually disappeared, and the mighty aura of an emperor spread out.
Between words and actions.
He showed his seriousness without reservation.
"If it's not a joke, then what is it?”
Wu Meiniang's pretty face was slightly red, and she was a little excited."Is the nineteenth prince the little kid who often tells stories in Xianyang City?”
"Not bad." Ying Zheng nodded calmly.
Wu Meiniang was so angry that she was about to explode.
She heaved a sigh of relief and tried her best to calm herself down. She said coldly,"Is Your Majesty insulting me?"
"Not to mention that Zhen will not agree to this condition.”
"I've only seen the nineteenth prince once today. He is only five years old. How can I marry a child?”
"Does Your Majesty think that I am a child bride?”
Wu Meiniang became more and more agitated as she spoke, her voice trembling.
It was simply out of the picture.
She finally understood why Ying Zheng was so secretive.
After all this time, did this old man take a fancy to him?
Facing Wu Meiniang's questioning, Ying Zheng did not care at all, and said with a carefree smile,""It's not impossible for you to understand it that way.”
"You!"
Wu Meiniang was instantly angered and said coldly,"If Your Majesty is not willing to be generous, I will not force you. Farewell!"
As he spoke.
Wu Meiniang prepared to leave the study.
Ying Zheng sat in his seat with a calm expression, looking at his daughter-in-law who was about to leave, and said slowly,""In this world, there is no one who dares to interfere in the matters of the Great Zhou except for my Great Qin.”
As soon as he said this.
Wu Meiniang's footsteps instantly stopped.
She turned her head and said angrily,"I don't believe that there's no one in the Nine Regions who can compare to your Great Qin."”
" Of course," Ying Zheng said with a smile." The Great Ming, the Great Tang, and the Great Han are all growing stronger by the day. They have enough strength to help you suppress the rebellion."”
"But…"
"Can you guarantee that the price you pay will be less than what I ask for?”
Hearing this, Wu Meiniang fell silent.
Although she was only a young girl, she had the soul of an empress.
His political mind was not inferior to any emperor.
The First Emperor was right.
In this world, there would never be a dynasty that could offer a better condition than this.
Not to mention that the Great Tang was currently embroiled in war, and Li Shiming had no time to care.
Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty and Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, which one was the one who suffered a loss?
If they were to ask for help, even if it was to help Wu Meiniang, they would definitely take advantage of the situation and demand an exorbitant price.
It was not impossible to cede half of the Great Zhou.
And Ying Zheng only had one condition.
That was to ask for Wu Meiniang.
On one side was the country, and on the other side was personal gains and losses.
As the empress of a generation, it was not difficult for Wu Meiniang to make a choice.
However, she could not accept being a child bride.
Ying Zheng seemed to have noticed Wu Meiniang's worry, as he said lightly,""Don't worry, I won't let you get married now.”
"I will give you ten years. After ten years, the marriage between you and my son Ying in Chang 'an must be held.”
"Of course, even if you marry into the Great Qin Empire, you can still become the Great Zhou Empire's Empress.”
"I won't care, much less annex your Great Zhou. You can treat it as a marriage alliance between the two countries.”
"If you and my son have a son and a daughter in the future, you can naturally inherit the throne of your Great Zhou.”
At the end.
Wu Meiniang's face flushed red.
Haha!
I really have to thank you for making such good arrangements for me. You even made clear arrangements for my future children.
Why don't I have such a good father?
"I can give you time to consider, but you don't have much time left.”
Ying Zheng smiled teasingly.
He also felt that it was a little ridiculous.
He had been honest and upright for his entire life. He was getting old, but he actually took advantage of others when they were in danger for that brat.
It was really a little…embarrassing!
Wu Meiniang stood at the door of the study and pondered for a long time.
In the end.
"I have a question," she said slowly.”
"Speak."
"Nineteenth Prince, does he know about this?”
"I don't know."
Ying Zheng answered neatly.
Wu Meiniang nodded and smiled bitterly."People say that parents are pitiful. After meeting today, His Majesty had indeed opened Mei Niang's eyes.”
He was the one emperor in history and the idol of countless emperors.
But today, he took advantage of her!
For the sake of his own son, Ying Zheng actually did not care about his face.
To be able to do this, it was really hard to know whether to admire or laugh at him.
She had spent so much effort to pave the way for her youngest son, even paving the way for the next ten or twenty years.
As for Ying Changan, who had a fixed interest, he did not know anything.
With a father like this, what else could a husband ask for?
Hearing Wu Meiniang's words, Ying Zheng smiled knowingly and said,""I only hope that the little fellow will have an easier path in the future.”
"So you sent everyone away just to discuss this matter with me?" Wu Meiniang asked.”
Ying Zheng nodded and said," This is a top secret. I have secretly appointed Chang 'an as the successor of the Great Qin Empire. No one knows about this except you, my wife."”
"Zhen does not want external factors to affect him.”
"To be honest with you is also a little compensation from zhen.”
Hearing this.
Wu Meiniang pursed her lips.
Thank you so much!
That old fox had probably been plotting against me ever since I entered Great Qin.
Thinking of this, Wu Meiniang was a little depressed.
It seemed that the gap between her and a top-tier Emperor was still very large.
Wu Meiniang heaved a sigh of relief, as if she had accepted her fate.
After a long time.
"I promise you." She nodded.
He had no choice.
For the sake of the Great Zhou Empire and the people, this was the best choice and the choice with the least cost.
If Wu Meiniang had delayed her decision by fifteen minutes, who knew how many innocent people in the Great Zhou would have died.
She really couldn't afford to wait.
"Hahaha! Good, very good!"
Ying Zheng laughed out loud for the first time. He took out a piece of silk from his sleeve and unfolded it on the imperial table.
Wu Meiniang glanced at him.
The date of the engagement, the First Emperor's fingerprint, and a blank signature had already been written on the silk.
Obviously, that was the place where Wu Mei Niang wrote her name.
"Old fox!"
Wu Meiniang cursed in her heart. Then, she walked towards the imperial table.
