Marriage!
This was one of the ways Song Zhan could think of to rope in the Great Hua Empire as his backer!
One had to know that since the Ming Dynasty, Siam had been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty until the Qing Dynasty. However, in the late Qing Dynasty, Siam was occupied by Great Britain.
Because of this relationship, Siam was naturally interested in marriage.
As an integral part of the general policy of the ethnic groups in the past dynasties and a manifestation of ethnic relations, the marriage alliance ran through the development of ancient history. It could be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, all the way to the Qing Dynasty. Almost all dynasties had marriage alliances with different times and reasons.
The so-called " marriage alliance " meant that the two opposing ethnic groups stopped the war, abandoned their hatred, and established a peaceful, friendly, and harmonious relationship. This was not a natural form, but a form of ethnic relationship that was negotiated by the political and military authorities of the two ethnic groups and stipulated by a formal treaty.
Their goal was to avoid war and maintain a long-term peace.
Now, the Siam Kingdom wanted to tie itself together with the Great Hua Empire through marriage and form a military alliance.
A marriage alliance naturally required the King of Siam to arrange for a princess to marry Su Ji.
Lamaxi was stunned, his expression complicated.""Marriage? Is this possible?"
Song Zhan: " I think it's feasible. According to our understanding, the emperor of the Great Hua Empire, Su Ji, is still single and hasn't married yet!”
"If Your Majesty is willing, I think Princess Shilina is very suitable to marry Su Ji. After all, she understands the Chinese very well.”
Princess Selina was the second daughter of King Lamasi. Born on May 2nd, 1916, she was considered quite outstanding. She was dignified, virtuous, approachable, diligent, and studious. She loved literature, music, painting, and so on. She was considered a talented woman with many talents.
Song Zhan said that Princess Shilina was suitable because she was smart and studious. When she was young, she began to learn the history and literature of the Dragon Country under the guidance of the King and Queen. She loved the splendid civilization of the Dragon Country for 5,000 years and read through the classics such as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms very early on. She studied Chinese diligently and could speak fluent Chinese. She appreciated ancient poetry, was good at painting and calligraphy of the Dragon Country, and could play the erhu and other national instruments of the Dragon Country.
It could be said that Princess Selina was very passionate about the history and culture of the Dragon Kingdom.
It was worth mentioning that Princess Shilina had a very important position in the hearts of the people of Siam, often surpassing the influence of the Crown Prince.
Because the Great Hua Empire was a country dominated by Chinese people, it was similar to the culture, language, and ideology of the Dragon Country. That was why Princess Shilina was said to be suitable to marry the emperor of the Great Hua Empire, Su Ji.
Pausing for a moment, Song Zhan continued,"With Princess Shilina's excellence and the fact that Princess Shilina is Su Ji's first woman, perhaps our Princess Shilina will become the empress of the Great Hua Empire. This will also be of great benefit to our Siam Kingdom.”
It had to be said that Song Zhan was really thinking too much.
She wanted the princess of Siam to be the empress of the Great Hua Empire?
Lamasi pondered over Song Zhan's words and was silent for a long time before he said,"If the marriage can preserve the independence and peace of Siam, I believe that Shilina will agree!”
"Song Zhan, arrange for a marriage envoy to go to the Great Hua Empire and state our conditions and sincerity. Our Siam Kingdom will also pay a generous dowry!”
"Yes, Your Majesty. Leave this matter to me."”
To put it bluntly, it was a marriage alliance. To put it bluntly, the Siam Kingdom hoped to marry a princess to the Great Hua Empire's monarch, Su Ji, to seek the protection of the Great Hua Empire.
Moreover, Lamache also hoped to facilitate this marriage alliance.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have proposed such a generous dowry.
Other than gold, silver, and jewelry, the dowry for the marriage would definitely include some mineral resources or heavy dowry such as the right to levy taxes.
Song Zhan quickly arranged for a marriage envoy to go to the Great Hua Empire to contact the foreign affairs department.
When the foreign affairs department heard that the Siam envoy was here to discuss the marriage, they immediately handed it over to the internal affairs department.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs was in charge of the monarch's wedding.
In this way, Gu Qingcheng, as the head of the internal affairs, knew that the Siam Kingdom was going to marry a princess to Su Ji.
Gu Qingcheng brought the documents prepared by the Siam envoy to Su Ji.
Emperor Gold Palace.
Qiankun Palace.
Su Ji was handling state affairs.
Gu Qingcheng walked in.
He looked up and saw Gu Qingcheng walking in. Su Ji said,""Qingcheng, why are you here?"
" Your Majesty," Gu Qingcheng said," Siam has just sent a special envoy to propose a marriage alliance. They want their Princess Shilina to marry you, and the two countries will become in-laws!"”
Siam wanted a marriage alliance?
Su Ji was stunned and immediately rejected,""Marriage? Impossible, I won't marry the Siamese princess!”
" Why?" Gu Qingcheng asked.”
"Because she's not worthy!" Su Ji said seriously.”
