Of all the people who heard the news, the angriest were Mo Jingli and Ren Qining.
Needless to say, Mo Jingli and Mo Xiuyao were naturally at odds. Now that their children were a couple, they were deeply in love. But he couldn't even find his only son. How could Mo Xiuyao not be angry? In his anger, he couldn't help but remember his deep hatred for Mo Jingqi. He tormented the seven or eight year old little Emperor. The originally timid and weak little Emperor was so scared that he cried and almost fell sick.
Compared to Mo Jingli, Ren Qining was even more furious. His son, daughter, wife, and concubines were all killed by Mo Xiuyao. This kind of killing was no different from exterminating his entire family. Just like that, he had even stirred up a conflict between factions in the Northern Region that was not harmonious to begin with. How could Ren Qining not hate Mo Xiuyao to the core? Seeing the red invitation aimed at the golden auspicious cloud, Ren Qining was so angry that he almost spat out blood.
"Mo Xiuyao! Mo Xiuyao! " In the study, seeing Ren Qining's ferocious expression, his trusted aides were so scared that they didn't dare to speak. After a long time, seeing Ren Qining slowly calm down, someone came forward and asked carefully, "Young Master, this invitation … … are we going?"
Ren Qining smiled coldly, holding the invitation tightly in his hand, as if he was holding Mo Xiuyao himself. "Go, why wouldn't we go? Not only I, the Northern Tribes, Southern Zhao, and Western Tomb are all going. If we don't go, won't people look down on us? "The advisor was shocked and asked worriedly," Could it be that Mo Xiuyao is holding a banquet at Hongmen this time? "
Ren Qining glanced at his subordinate and snorted, "Banquet at Hongmen, no matter how capable Mo Xiuyao is, he doesn't have the ability to trap so many people in Glass City and kill them. I just want to probe the thoughts of the rulers of each country. It just so happens that I also want to meet Yelu Ye and Lei Zhenting. "
Hearing his words, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Soon, someone else raised a question. "If Young Master were to go personally, I'm afraid he would have to bring along a madam. But now … "It was indeed inappropriate for the ruler of a country to go on a diplomatic mission without his female companions. What's more, there were some occasions where women played an irreplaceable role. Especially in the Prince Ding Mansion, when there was a Princess Ding who held real power, the distinguished guests from various countries who attended the birthday banquet would inevitably bring their women along. However, the problem now was that all the women of the Northern Region's royal family had been killed. Not a single one of them was left. And now, the thing that gave Ren Qining a headache was also the harem.
Previously, Ren Qining had married the princess of the Northern Region Tribe as his first wife, and then he had taken in several concubines. Most of them were women from the Central Plains, which was naturally in line with the thoughts of the Central Plains officials around Ren Qining. After all, they had always regarded themselves as the legitimate descendants of the Central Plains. Although they had no choice but to borrow the power of the Northern Region to restore their country, they still hoped that the next emperor would be of pure Central Plains blood. So when the queen and her children were killed, these Central Plains people couldn't deny that they were secretly happy. But then the princes and princesses of the Central Plains concubines also died, and everyone realized the seriousness of the problem.
And now, the country couldn't go a day without a ruler, so the harem naturally couldn't go a day without a ruler. But on the question of whether Ren Qining should marry a woman from the Central Plains or a woman from the Northern Region, both sides couldn't persist. Originally, when the Central Plains officials were weak, it was easy to talk about it. But now that the Northern Region had taken over a large portion of Da Chu State's land, the Northern Region Army had rapidly expanded by a large number of people from Da Chu State. As a result, the situation where the army was originally full of people from the Northern Region was quickly broken, and the Central Plains officials gradually had the capital to challenge. So the question of whether to marry a woman from the Northern Region or a woman from the Central Plains had been debated for more than half a month. The moment the two sides met, they would throw daggers at each other, mocking and ridiculing each other. They were just short of pouncing on each other to fight.
Ren Qining naturally leaned toward the Central Plains people. As a man, he naturally preferred the gentle and demure women of the Central Plains compared to the rougher women of the Northern Region. But the people of the Northern Region weren't all idiots. Ren Qining himself was a Central Plains person. If he were to marry a Central Plains person as his queen, then wouldn't the Northern Region directly change its name to that of the Central Plains? Would there still be a place for the tribes of the Northern Region in the future? Naturally, they would resolutely oppose it.
Ren Qining felt his head hurt when he thought of this matter. Originally, if he had successfully taken over the Chu capital this time, he could naturally use the name of the imperial orphan of the previous dynasty to restore his legitimacy, and these people of the Northern Region wouldn't be so important. Unfortunately, because of Mo Xiuyao's interference, all his efforts had been for naught. In the future, he would naturally have to rely on these people of the Northern Region. It was impossible to shake them off or suppress them in a short time. Not only was it impossible, he had to support them even more. Waving his hand to interrupt the discussion, Ren Qining said in a low voice, "Go back and announce I's decision. Confer He Lan of the Taji Tribe as the empress. "
"Young master!" Everyone shouted in unison. One of them stepped forward and said, "Young master, that Princess He Lan is unruly and willful. How can she be the empress?"
Ren Qining said impatiently, "Otherwise, can you find a more suitable candidate from the Northern Region? Being unruly and willful … also has its benefits. At least she isn't so scheming, so as to avoid annoying people. "His ex-wife, the princess of the Northern Region, was no less scheming than a man. The Northern Region didn't have as many restrictions on women as the Central Plains. The princess of the Northern Region was originally cultivated as an heir. Unfortunately, she fell in love with Ren Qining at first sight and was willing to be a queen in the harem rather than the leader of the most powerful tribe in the Northern Region. Even so, Ren Qining had long been impatient with the many restrictions placed on her. If Mo Xiuyao hadn't been so ruthless, Ren Qining probably would have thanked him properly this time.
"In addition, confer the titles of Lord Wang's eldest daughter and Lord Zhang's third daughter as concubines."
With this, everyone was satisfied. When it came to palace politics, how could a woman of the Northern Region who only knew how to make a scene be a match for a woman of the Central Plains?
