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 biological mother was originally a concubine, and he used some shameful means to frame the queen and killed the queen's legitimate son, and then succeeded in ascending 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 repeat the old trick and win over the 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, "So 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, it is the difference between the wife and the concubine. The gap between them is huge."
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 Jin royal family. 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 are both here 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, "Didn't the Ninth Prince also marry the eldest princess?"
"The prince and the eldest princess are in love with each other, and their purpose is different from yours." Mu Cang looked indifferent, "Also, are you sure you are a princess?"
Dugu Ying's face turned pale: "Ninth Prince?"
"Why did the Ninth Prince say that?" 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 should not be so arrogant."
Mu Cang has a tall, steep and steady body, just like the awe-inspiring demeanor he showed in front of everyone.
Even if he was just standing casually in the hall, 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 fell into the mortal world, 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, brushed his clothes 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 right and sat down, holding up the teacup in front of him, "Several princesses of the royal family of Yan State were betrothed by the prince to important officials. I am afraid that there are no extra princesses to send to Jin State for marriage, so he selected beautiful women of the right age from the families of trusted important officials for marriage, and gave them princesses and royal surnames."
Everyone present looked at each other in surprise.
Prime Minister Ji smiled and twirled his beard: "The Crown Prince of Yan is not a legitimate son, but when he arrived in Jin, he asked for a marriage with the eldest legitimate son. I wonder what confidence supports you to make such a request?"
"This general wants to know too." General Xuan looked coldly at Dugu Qingyun and the two princesses behind him, "Although it is not uncommon to make the legitimate daughter of an official family a princess instead of a marriage, these two women are not royal branches and jade leaves. 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, but to save the eldest prince, right?"
Dugu Qingyun's face changed.
"The eldest prince of Jin State has a good relationship with Crown Prince Dugu?" The general of Mu State who had just confronted him turned his head quietly, "If the Crown Prince of Yan State had colluded with the eldest prince of Jin State, I am afraid your country still needs to investigate whether the eldest prince has reached any agreement with Crown 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, remaining silent.
"Don't slander me!" Dugu Qingyun said angrily, "I just think 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, distinguished guests from various countries are gathered here. We can talk about the issue of peaceful coexistence among countries 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 too serious." Jiang Yi smiled faintly, "As long as the prince doesn't 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 prospering, 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 we are qualified to do so?"
After saying this, Yan Li couldn't help but look up at Mu Cang who was sitting opposite him, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Does the adult who spoke in Beijiang know that their regent is sitting at the table?
Mu Cang looked calm, and he looked unfathomable.
"Master Situ, please speak." Emperor Wen quickly said, "As long as it is a reasonable suggestion, I and the Queen will consider it."
"Didn't the Crown Prince of the Yan Kingdom say that their Yan Kingdom's property can only be passed on to the legitimate son?" Master Situ smiled, "Actually, the veteran also thinks it is more reasonable to pass it on to the legitimate son. After all, as we all know, if you marry a virtuous wife, the status of the head wife has always been unsurpassable. , You can’t let a mess of concubines get past your principal wife, right?”
Emperor Wen was silent for a moment, picked up the wine cup and took a sip: "It makes sense."
Yan Chen and Yan Yun's expressions changed at the same time.
Their mothers are not the head wives. Does Lord Situ mean that they are not qualified to inherit the throne?
Emperor Wen immediately wondered: "It's just that the eldest son made a big mistake. He can't even save his identity as a prince. I absolutely cannot let him-" Tianlai Novel Network
"The Emperor has misunderstood." Master Situ smiled gently, "In addition to the eldest son, doesn't the Emperor also have a legitimate daughter?"
After the words fell, the hall fell silent again.
The expressions of the three princes visibly froze, 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 Jin emperor pass the throne to the eldest princess?
Absolutely ridiculous!
How can there be such a thing in the world?
