Chapter 356 Doesn’t the emperor have a legitimate daughter?
"Yan's Crown Prince Dugu Qingyun, a heir who won over the court officials by marrying a princess, his mother was the former imperial concubine, who used some shameful means to frame the queen and killed the queen's legitimate son, and then ascended to the throne." Mu Cang looked at him with his hands behind his back, and although his expression was leisurely, he had a condescending attitude, "This time you brought the two princesses of Yan, do you want to use the same trick again and win over the legitimate eldest son of Jin for your use?"
The words came out slowly, and the whole hall was silent. The ministers looked at Dugu Qingyun with different expressions.
"Didn't Prince Dugu say that he was the eldest son?" An imperial censor frowned, "It turns out that he is only the son of the imperial concubine."
Prime Minister Ji said leisurely: "Although the imperial concubine is only one head lower than the queen, there is a big difference between the wife and the imperial concubine."
The Minister of Rites sighed: "Prince Dugu seems to be very obsessed with the birth of the eldest son. Although he is not a legitimate son, he wants his sister to marry the eldest son of the royal family of Jin. Unfortunately, the eldest prince made a big mistake and could not satisfy Prince Dugu's wish."
Dugu Qingyun clutched the wine cup, his face turned from blue to white, then from white to red, and finally turned cyan little by little.
He was so angry that his expression was particularly gloomy and ugly, and he looked like he couldn't say a word.
"How can the Ninth Prince speak to his brother like this?" Dugu Ying frowned slightly, and her beautiful eyes fell on Mu Cang's face. She clearly had a tone of accusation and dissatisfaction, but her eyes revealed a bit of coquettishness, "Yan Country and Mu Country both came for diplomatic relations. We sisters do want to marry Jin Country, because this is the most direct way to promote friendship between the two countries."
After a pause, she lowered her eyebrows and said, "Doesn't the Ninth Prince want to marry the Princess?"
"The Princess and I are in love, and our purpose is different from yours." Mu Cang looked indifferent, "In addition, are you sure you are the princess?"
Dugu Ying's face turned pale: "Ninth Prince?"
"Why do you say that, Ninth Prince?" Dugu Qingyun finally came back to his senses from his anger, gritted his teeth and looked at him dissatisfied, "Even if the Ninth Prince is the God of War of Mu Country, he shouldn't be so arrogant."
Mu Cang is tall, steep and steady, just like the awe-inspiring demeanor he showed in front of everyone.
Even if he was just standing casually in the hall at this time, the group of people sitting in front of him included envoys from the northern border, generals from the Mu Kingdom, the prince and princess of the Yan Kingdom, and the monarch, ministers and queen of the Jin Kingdom.
He still stood out from the crowd.
Just like a white crane standing proudly in the clouds accidentally falling into the sky, the cold and noble demeanor around him always followed him like a shadow.
Dugu Qingyun's momentum unconsciously weakened a little.
"Prince Dugu can't listen to the truth?" Mu Cang walked to the most honorable seat on the upper left and sat down, his voice cold and distant, "Sincerity is the most important thing in diplomatic relations between two countries. I wonder where the sincerity is in bringing two fake princesses to marry?"
"These two princesses are indeed not descendants of the royal family of Yan State." Yan Li walked to the first seat on the side and took the teacup in front of him, "Several princesses of the royal family of Yan State have been betrothed to important officials by the prince. I am afraid that there are no extra princesses to be sent to Jin State for marriage, so they selected beautiful women of the right age from the families of trusted important officials for marriage, and conferred them princesses and royal surnames."
Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment.
Prime Minister Ji smiled and twirled his beard: "The Crown Prince of Yan is not a legitimate son, but he asked for a marriage with the eldest legitimate son in Jin. I wonder what confidence supports you to make such a request?"
"This general wants to know." General Xuan looked coldly at Dugu Qingyun and the two princesses behind him, "Although it is not uncommon to make the legitimate daughter of the official family a princess instead of a marriage, these two women are not from wealthy families. Crown Prince Dugu proposed a marriage with the eldest legitimate son on the grounds that the inheritance of Yan State is only passed on to the eldest legitimate son. I wonder what his intention is?"
Someone questioned: "Prince Dugu should not come for a marriage this time, but to save the eldest prince, right?"
Dugu Qingyun's face changed.
"The eldest prince of Jin has a good relationship with Prince Dugu?" The general of Mu State who had just confronted him turned his head and said, "If the prince of Yan State had colluded with the eldest prince of Jin State, I'm afraid your country needs to investigate whether the eldest prince had reached any agreement with Prince Dugu."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall instantly dropped to freezing point.
Yan Jin lowered his eyes and looked at the teacup in his hand, silent.
"Stop slandering me!" Dugu Qingyun said angrily, "I just think that the eldest son has a better chance. Even if this idea is a bit unrealistic, you shouldn't frame me for all the crimes!"
Emperor Wen smiled faintly: "Prince Dugu, don't be angry. Today, the distinguished guests from various countries are gathered here. You can talk about the problems of getting along with each other in the future. It's all for the people's livelihood and the country. There's no need to make it tense."
Dugu Qingyun sneered: "In my opinion, you are relying on your numbers and deliberately ganging up to bully me, the prince who came from afar?"
"Prince Dugu, you are serious." Jiang Yi smiled faintly, "As long as the prince does not cause trouble in Jin, this palace and the emperor guarantee that the prince can return to Yan safely."
Dugu Qingyun gritted his teeth, is this a threat?
"With the return of the princess, Jin will surely become more and more prosperous and prosperous, and the country will last forever." The envoy headed by Beijiang said with a smile, in a good-natured tone, "This time, we are ordered by the regent to give the emperor and the queen a suggestion. I wonder if you are qualified to do so?"
As soon as these words came out, Yan Li couldn't help but look up at Mu Cang who was sitting opposite him, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Did the adult who spoke in Beijiang know at this time that their regent was sitting at the table?
Mu Cang looked calm, and he looked unfathomable.
"Please speak, Lord Situ." Emperor Wen spoke quickly, "As long as there is a reasonable suggestion, the Queen and I will consider it."
"Didn't the Crown Prince of Yan say that their Yan Kingdom inheritance is only passed on to the legitimate son?" Lord Situ smiled, "In fact, I think it is more reasonable to pass it on to the legitimate son. After all, it is well known that the status of the wife has always been unsurpassed when marrying a virtuous wife. The messy concubines cannot surpass the wife. Does the emperor agree?"
Emperor Wen was silent for a moment, picked up the wine cup and took a sip: "That makes sense."
Yan Chen and Yan Yun's expressions changed at the same time.
Their mothers were not legitimate wives. Does Lord Situ's words mean that they are not qualified to inherit the throne?
Emperor Wen then said in embarrassment: "The eldest son has made a big mistake, and even his status as a prince cannot be preserved. I must not let him-" Tianlai Novel Network
"Your Majesty has misunderstood." Lord Situ smiled gently, "In addition to the eldest son, doesn't the emperor have a legitimate daughter?"
As soon as the voice fell, the hall fell silent again.
The expressions of the three princes froze visibly, and Dugu Qingyun turned his head in shock to look at Lord Situ who was speaking.
What does this mean?
Did he suggest that the emperor and empress of Jin pass the throne to the eldest princess?
It's ridiculous!
How could such a thing happen in the world?
