PFC Chapter 202 Rejected
Chapter 202 Rejected
The person who spoke was none other than the old tutor.
Beidi's request to marry Shen Tang is far more significant than requesting to marry the princess.
Shen Tang developed a thousand kilograms of rice and cotton for Da Qi. If he really agreed to Prince Beidi's request, then after Shen Tang, there was no guarantee that Beidi would develop something suitable for Beidi.
Da Qi is prosperous thanks to its thousands of kilograms of rice and cotton. If Bei Di has Shen Tang, will it also be even more powerful?
Shen Tang must never marry into Beidi, nor can Shen Tang's marriage be used as a political bargaining chip.
Even in Da Qi, Shen Tang cannot easily choose a marriage partner, otherwise it will definitely become a political tactic. Shen Tang has been too outstanding in his life, and it is likely that he will find it difficult to find a good partner in this life.
After all, anyone who wants to marry Shen Tang in the future will definitely have utilitarian motives and purposes.
Shen Tang didn't know why the Grand Tutor looked at her with pity, and then she heard the Grand Tutor say:
"The prince fell in love with the marquis at first sight, but as far as I know, the Ning'an Marquis doesn't even want to see you these days? What's more, the Ning'an Marquis also said he doesn't want to.
If the prince wants to marry Ning'an Hou, he must first get Ning'an Hou's consent. Otherwise, if one party is unwilling, a good thing will become a couple with resentment. In this case, the emperor will also do something bad with good intentions.
"Besides, Marquis Ning'an is an extremely valuable person to our Great Qi."
The Grand Tutor is right.
Marquis Ning'an is no longer just Shen Tang.
The two words "Ning'an" have been concretized.
They may conflict with Shen Tang due to different political views and conflicting interests, but they will never allow outsiders to have any improper thoughts about Shen Tang.
Moreover, Beidi's plot to marry Shen Tang is obvious.
It's just that he wants Shen Tang to help Beidi start farming after marrying him.
It's so funny. Do you want Shen Tang to help you strengthen your country?
Then turn around and go to war with Da Qi again?
How can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed?
"Your Majesty, I believe that the Northern Di are not seeking peace, but are actually showing contempt for our Great Qi!"
The Duke of Zhenguo also stood up, his beard twitching.
"Marquis Ning'an is no longer an ordinary woman to my Great Qi, but a meritorious official of my Great Qi. Prince Beidi actually wants a meritorious official of my Great Qi to marry him and serve him. This is undoubtedly a provocation to my Great Qi!
In my opinion, the Prince of Beidi's request to marry the Marquis of Ning'an is actually a request to marry all the ministers present here!"
The Duke of Zhenguo has admired Shen Tang since the day when Shen Tang grew a thousand kilograms of rice. After Shen Tang dared to angrily confront the Northern Di delegation at the welcoming banquet that day, he valued this young man who was about the same age as his own grandson even more.
In the eyes of the Duke of Zhenguo, Shen Tang stood in the court with them because of her own abilities. In their eyes, Shen Tang was no longer just a remarkable woman, but a young person with both strength and luck.
Like other young and talented people, he is the future pillar of Da Qi.
Shen Tang is even more pure than them. She has no family or party behind her. She is just herself.
Perhaps in a few decades or a hundred years, the Ning'an Marquis Shen family will also become a wealthy family.
The premise is that Shen Tang cannot make any mistakes.
There were also many people in the court looking forward to seeing how big a deal Shen Tang could achieve.
Therefore, the Beidi prince's proposal to marry Shen Tang had already caused public outrage.
Especially the military generals, they don’t have to pay money or give gifts to others after winning the war.
Koda and Longmu did not expect that the court of Da Qi would react in this way.
It is obvious that one person can bring a century of peace to a country, so why are people so angry?
Seeing this scene, Long Mu did not expect that Shen Tang was so important in the eyes of the king and his ministers of Da Qi.
But it also indirectly proved that his idea was not wrong.
Shen Tang is a man of great talent. If such a talent can be used by Beidi, then the entire Beidi...
"Your Majesty, my Lords, our prince is sincere in his request to marry the Marquis of Ning'an. It is the custom of the Northern Di people to boldly express our love to the girl we like.
I just didn't know that this was the custom in Da Qi. I apologize on behalf of our prince."
Under the current circumstances, the plan to marry Shen Tang can only be abandoned.
Longmu shook his head slightly at Koda.
"Prince, Envoy, Shen Tang has an idea. I wonder if you can make the decision. If you, Beidi, agree, this will be more stable than a marriage between Daqi and Beidi, and will also promote the prosperity of both countries."
Shen Tang spoke to Keda and Longmu with a smile.
Those who knew the inside story couldn't help but sweat, and those who didn't know the inside story also looked around curiously.
This is more stable than marriage, what is it?
Koda and Longmu were equally puzzled.
"Da Qi will not agree to Bei Di's request. You will not be able to take away a single grain of rice or cotton from your mission to Da Qi."
As soon as he finished speaking, Koda and Longmu's expressions became solemn.
But then I heard Shen Tang say:
"But you can take away most of Da Qi's belongings, including the items you like, through another method."
"In what way?"
Koda couldn't wait to speak.
If it was really as Shen Tang said, and he couldn't take anything with him, he didn't dare to think about what would happen if he returned to Beidi.
"As long as Beidi is willing to trade with Daqi!"
Trade and commerce!
Unheard of!
"My Great Qi is vast and rich in resources. I don't need to explain this much. As long as you, the Northern Di, are willing to trade with my Great Qi, all the goods I have can be sold to you, the Northern Di.
Similarly, the mutton, wool and spices that you Beidi produce in abundance can be sold to Da Qi.
Da Qi is willing to establish a good partnership with Bei Di."
Shen Tang's words not only shocked Prince Koda, Longmu and other Northern Di envoys, but also brought great surprise to other court officials who were unaware of the situation.
But no minister raised any objection. After all, when Shen Tang said this, Emperor Jing did not show any displeasure at all. He must have known about this plan long ago.
Why should they offend Emperor Jing?
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Prince Koda and the Beidi delegation.
The Northern Di delegation was so shocked by Shen Tang's suggestion that they were speechless.
"This, this trade, this, this matter, we have no right to agree to. This matter requires us to send a message to our king."
Long Mu looked solemn.
Trade and commerce are not easy.
Longmu didn't expect that Da Qi would make such a request.
Moreover, the Emperor of Da Qi seemed to have acquiesced.
He must report this matter back to Beidi.
The group has already put the matter of proposing to Shen Tang behind them.
The Northern Di envoys left the palace and headed straight for the post station.
There are two goshawks in the post house, which are used to deliver urgent messages.
The hawk flapped its wings and soared into the sky.
Emperor Jing asked Shen Tang and some important ministers to stay to discuss matters.
