Chapter 1393: Fight
Lin Yuelan frowned slightly when she heard that.
This Xiao Jingrui seemed to be trying to force her to marry him!
He was telling Yuwen Longyan that his Black Cloud Country was the strongest country and that he had taken a fancy to this princess of the Guguo and wanted to marry her!
Therefore, for the sake of the country, for the sake of world peace, between the country and the woman, Jiang Zhennan could only choose one.
Lin Yuelan didn"t directly refute Xiao Jingrui. She wanted to see the situation.
As soon as Xiao Jingrui"s voice fell, the middle of the room suddenly burst into lively discussions.
Some people agreed to let the princess of Guguo go to the marriage alliance to maintain the peace between the two countries.
Some people objected, saying that Princess Gu Guo was already the fiancée of General Jiang Zhennan.
All these years, Jiang Zhennan had been guarding the border and had beaten the Black Clouds Kingdom into defeat. What was there to be afraid of?
It was even more likely that he would resign from his position as a general because his fiancée had been sent to a marriage alliance. Then, who would protect the safety of the Longyan Kingdom in the future?
Moreover, the reason why the princess of the Guguo was conferred the t.i.tle of princess was because of her intelligence and outstanding talent. She had increased the production of crops for the common people, invented things, and proposed a few suggestions. She greatly improved the living standards of the common people. If this continued to develop, it was only a matter of time before they surpa.s.sed the previous two powerful countries.
On the contrary, if Princess Guguo were married off, it would be equivalent to marrying off everything that the Longyan Kingdom currently had. In this way, the Black Clouds Kingdom would develop even more rapidly. When would the Longyan Kingdom surpa.s.s the Black Clouds Kingdom?
Therefore, whether it was for Jiang Zhennan or for the country, Lin Yuelan must not marry into the Black Clouds Kingdom!
Of course, there were also some neutral parties who wanted to start a war.
"Your Majesty, for the sake of the friendly relations between the two countries and the peace of the country, this old minister suggests that the princess of Guguo go to the Black Cloud Country for a marriage alliance!"After some discussion, someone immediately jumped out.
"Lord Liu, are you kidding me by asking the princess of Guguo, who has made great contributions to the Longyan Kingdom, to agree to this marriage alliance?"Someone immediately stepped forward and looked at Lord Liu." Aren"t you afraid of hurting the general and the people of Longyan Kingdom? You must know that the prestige of the Guguo princess in their hearts is not something you can compare to!"
Lord Liu said," Hmph, Lord Yuan, you"re wrong! If the princess of the Guguo"s marriage would help maintain the diplomatic relations between the two countries, the world would be peaceful, and the people would be even more peaceful. The people would definitely thank the princess of the Guguo for giving them a peaceful life. Wasn"t that great?"
His words were immediately echoed by others.
"That"s right!"
" As long as the Second Prince promises peace between the two countries, then within the next few decades, the two countries will definitely not start a war and maintain peace! In this way, letting the princess of Guguo go through a marriage alliance was for the sake of righteousness and love! Sacrificing oneself for the greater good, Princess Guguo should understand this principle!"
"Yes, Princess Gu should sacrifice herself for the greater good. The people of Longyan Kingdom will be even more grateful to her!"
"But what about the Defender General?"
There was a moment of silence.
"What can we do? The princess of the Guguo will sacrifice herself for the greater good. As the guardian of the Longyan Kingdom, the general should sacrifice himself for the greater good too!"
"That"s right!"
There was another wave of discussion among the members.
"Your Majesty, Princess Gu must not go to the marriage alliance! Let"s not talk about the fact that His Majesty has already bestowed marriage to the Great General. Just look at the contributions that the Princess of Gu has made. She bravely barged into the throne room and single-handedly destroyed the rebellion of the Third Prince"s party. She improved the method of planting crops, increased the harvest of farmers, invented the Pinyin alphabet, suggested the compilation of the Longyan Kingdom"s dictionary, and introduced Arabic numbers. There"s also the Lin Hospital that she opened in the capital. All of these achievements are beyond our reach!
"Could it be that such a person who had made great achievements would be forced to marry because of pressure? This would hurt not only the princess"s and the general"s hearts but also the hearts of the entire country"s people! This would greatly disappoint the people of the Imperial Court! Your Majesty!"
This was Prime Minister Chen"s words!
And Lord Liu just now was Consort Liu De"s father, Liu Xingren!
One side agreed while the other side opposed it. The two sides quarreled!
"Enough!"
Suddenly, an angry roar resounded throughout the venue!
Looking at the dignified and stern His Majesty on the high seat, the lively debate just now stopped for a moment!
