Chapter 7 The marriage is finalized(1/2)
The next day, An Yi went to work as usual.
Everyone looked at An Yi differently.
The marriage between An Yi and General Zhenbei has become the headline news in the capital after a night of fermentation.
It's just that this matter will not be counted until the emperor issues an imperial edict.
If An Yi talks nonsense and involves General Zhenbei, it will definitely be a serious crime.
In order to avoid getting hurt, everyone keeps a distance from comfort.
Fortunately, at the end of the day, the eunuch from before came again to deliver the message: Your Majesty has summoned you!
Only then did people confirm that there was an 80% chance of this marriage.
This thief bird really flies up the branches and turns into a phoenix.
Su Yourong is one of the three beauties of the capital, she is so gorgeous!
People are full of envy, jealousy and hatred for comfort!
An Yi followed the eunuch to the study room with ease. In addition to Su Yourong, there were eight or nine other people there.
Chai Jin said: "My dear friends, do you have any different opinions on General Zhenbei and An Yi's marriage?"
"Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate!"
An old man stood up and said: "As the saying goes, An Yi is just a minor official. How can he marry General Zhenbei, who is the legitimate daughter of the Duke?
If you spread the word, wouldn’t it be a loss of face for me, Dazhou!”
"What Mr. Yu Ge said is true, my dear minister..."
"My lord, Su Yourong, please play!"
Su Yourong interrupted the son-in-law's words and said loudly: "I am a weak woman. I really cannot shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the northern border. I beg your Majesty to demote me to serve the people."
Su Yourong's sudden words shocked the entire audience.
Aren’t we talking about marriage? Why did we end up giving up the marriage?
Even the emperor lost his voice and said: "Why did Su Qing say this?"
"If a man has no faith, he will not make a promise. How dare I not abide by the marriage contract made by my late father.
Mr. Yu Ge objected to the marriage between Chen and An Yi because they were well-matched. After the minister became a commoner, the marriage became a good match, right?"
Like an old dog whose tail was stepped on, Mr. Yu Ge jumped up and pointed at Su Yourong and shouted angrily, "Su Zhenbei, how can you threaten His Majesty with this?
Where do you put Your Majesty in a marriage?
Where to place the 100,000-strong Zhenbei Army?
Where to put the millions of people in northern Xinjiang?
Is this worthy of the ancestors of the Su family who sacrificed their lives for the country?"
Faced with a series of moral kidnappings by Mr. Yu Ge, Su Yourong said calmly: "Shouldn't it be a man's job to protect the country and the people and fight on the battlefield?
I am just a weak woman, and I cannot afford the big hat that Mr. Yu Ge has put on me. I want to get married now that I am tired, and I beg your Majesty to make it happen.”
Su Yourong's words were full of exhaustion and sadness, which made people moved.
An Yi stretched out his left hand and grabbed Su Yourong's right hand. The latter did not pull away, and the two of them intertwined their fingers.
The whole place was silent and silent.
The two of them actually held hands with each other in front of His Majesty, the important minister and the prince.
Everyone's expressions were condensed.
Yu Maochun and Yu Ge were so angry that they blew their beards and stared, but they did not dare to say anything more.
Yu Maochun knew that if Su Yourong really gave up his job if he continued to criticize and oppose him, one hundred thousand troops to suppress the Northern Territory would stir up trouble and cause chaos in Northern Xinjiang.
Then he is the culprit, and the Yi tribe will definitely not be able to escape.
The conscience of heaven and earth, Yu Maochun just doesn’t want An Yi to hug him.
But he never expected that the invincible General Zhenbei would risk anything just to get married.
The rest of them didn't dare to fart any more, for fear of adding fuel to the fire and causing trouble.
The first assistant of the cabinet, the second assistant, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are all like transparent people.
Chai Jin was shocked and angry. It was difficult to tell whether Su Yourong's words about resigning were true or false.
But everyone can see that Su Yourong is determined to marry An Yi.
Now Beihu is ready to move again, Xiyi and Nanman are also constantly stirring up trouble on the border, and the Hao people are plundering the southeastern coast more frequently.
The terrible thing is that among the generals who can fight in the Zhou Empire, Su Yourong ranks second, and no one dares to claim the first place.
After three years of fighting, the most powerful Beihu was defeated.
With such a record, even Su Zhenfeng, known as the God of War, cannot compare.
Once Su Yourong gave up his career because of his marriage, let alone the chaos caused by the 100,000-strong North Suppressing Army, without a war-god-like general, the losses would be overwhelming.
As long as Su Yourong is in charge of Northern Xinjiang, Northern Xinjiang will have no worries.
Chai Jin knew this very well and said again: "What do you think of Su Qing and An Yi's marriage?"
"My son approves of this marriage!"
This is a prince who is seventeen or eighteen years old and has an extraordinary face.
An Yi didn't know which prince it was, and then heard another prince say: "My son, like my seventh brother, also approves of this marriage."
An Yi knew that the first person to agree was Zhao Wang Chai Yu, who was the one the emperor wanted to betroth Su Yourong to.
This is the general trend, and everyone, including Yu Maochun, agrees with it.
Chai Jin was just going through the motions, but he didn't expect that Yu Maochun would jump out and object, which caused an unnecessary disturbance, and he couldn't help but secretly hate it.
"Draw up the decree, I will grant you marriage..."
The emperor gave an order to marry him in public.
"My lord..." Su Yourong pulled An Yi away, and the latter knelt down along with the former: "My lord (minor), I thank you for your holy grace!"
"Flat body!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Just as An Yi was about to stand up, Su Yourong pulled him back and said, "Your Majesty, there is another change in Beihu. Please shorten the wedding period and make it simple as soon as possible. I hope your Majesty will give you permission!"
"How long do you think Su Qing will take?"
"Ten days!"
"This..."
Chai Jin was helpless when facing General Zhenbei who was so eager to get married.
He looked at the rest of the people and saw that they all had an attitude of being unconcerned with the matter. He thought that the stability of Northern Xinjiang was more important, and it was just a trivial matter to be unreasonable!
"It is said that Xu Zimo, the Imperial Supervisor of Heaven!"
Qintian Superintendent Xu Zimo hurried over. After a greeting, he learned that he had to choose a good and auspicious day for General Zhenbei, and it had to be the closest one!
"Your Majesty, May 20th, six days from now, will be an auspicious day."
Chai Jin shook his head and said: "Six days is too short, choose another one!"
Su Yourong said: "Your Majesty, please arrange to get married on May 20th!"
"Isn't this too hasty?"
"Your Majesty, I can wait, but the situation in Northern Xinjiang cannot wait!"

"I am very moved by Su Qing's loyalty to the country. In this way, I have wronged Su Qing!"
The stability of northern Xinjiang must be the most important thing, so Chai Jin agreed to the wedding date.
An Yi was also a little dumbfounded and didn't understand why Su Yourong was so anxious!
"Thank you for your grace."
"Invite the Ministry of Rites and Internal Affairs to prepare for the wedding of General Zhenbei!"
In order to appease Su Yourong and make her work harder to guard Northern Xinjiang, Chai Jin increased the wedding specifications and gave her a large piece of silk and satin jewelry!
"Thank you for your grace!"
"Congratulations to General Zhenbei, congratulations to General Zhenbei!"
Everyone had their own secrets, and they all congratulated each other. Su Yourong took An Yi and thanked her!
An Yi could also clearly see everyone's faces. Most of them had bad intentions, and a few of them had sincere smiles. It was hard to tell whether they were sincere or fake.
An Yi and Su Yourong walked side by side to the palace gate.
