After some talking, Song Qingxue still followed Xiahou Chun to the altar.
It wasn't that she wanted to go, but the two palace maids who were supporting her were actually trained! From the moment they started supporting her, they never let go.
It would be more accurate to say that I was dragged there rather than following.
When she appeared on the altar with Xiahou Jun, the officials standing below were all surprised.
After Xiahou Jun said that he wanted to make her the queen, those officials suddenly lost their composure.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed!"
At one moment, both the royal party and the emperor's party spoke out at the same time.
Although everyone knew that Song Qingxue and Xiahou Chongyuan had divorced, in the eyes of the ministers, she was not only a remarried woman, but her ex-husband was also the regent whose body was still warm.
His behavior is simply outrageous and immoral!
But Xiahou Chun did not listen to the advice and insisted on making Song Qingxue the queen today.
Because he has his own considerations.
As for Song Qingxue, he did have some affection for her in his heart, but that little bit of affection was not enough to make him go against everyone's opinion and marry her at this time.
His ultimate goal was to obtain the military power of the Song family.
Xiahou Jun was not too stupid. Although he did not encounter any obstacles in his attempt to force the emperor to abdicate, he knew very well that most officials in the court still did not obey him.
So, he needed a particularly important minister to support him.
Marquis Anding has now fallen, and his entire family has been exiled, so he naturally can't count on Marquis Anding. Apart from Marquis Anding, the only important official in the court who still holds military power is Song Qingxue's father Song Yan.
But Song Yan is different from Marquis Anding.
Although both families have followed the Xiahou royal family for several generations, the Song family has been loyal for generations. Their hearts are on the frontier and the people, and they have no ambitions.
If we use the power of gold and silver to negotiate cooperation with him, we will naturally fail to reach an agreement.
Fortunately, he still has a daughter, a precious daughter for whom he would give up half of his military power in exchange for a marriage.
The reason why Xiahou Chongyuan and Song Qingxue got married was ostensibly that they were in love and well-matched, but Xiahou Chun, who planned this, knew clearly that the reason these two got married was because Song Yan was willing to give him half of the military power.
Originally, he agreed to Zhao Wanqiu's matchmaking between the two of them just to use Song Qingxue to enter the Regent's Palace to make some moves. However, Xiahou Chongyuan refused to agree at first.
Or maybe Song Qingxue really wanted to get married, but Song Yan couldn't bear to see his daughter sad, so he offered to give up half of his military power to buy this marriage.
If he had known that Song Yan would do this, he would never agree with Zhao Wanqiu's approach.
Song Yan holds half of the military power, which means more than 200,000 soldiers! If he had these 200,000 soldiers, why would he have to wait until today to take this position?
But it’s not too late now.
Song Qingxue is in his hands now. Song Yan cares so much about his precious daughter, how dare he not support him!
However, Song Yan had not appeared in these days, and all the people he sent to the general's mansion were turned away with a message saying "the door is closed to visitors".
He was a little worried that Song Yan might have been doing something behind his back. But then he thought, Song Qingxue was in his hands, and he cared so much about his daughter, so how could he dare to do anything?
Xiahou Jun has already decided to make Song Qingxue the queen, and even if the officials disagree, no one can make him change his mind.
A debate about whether the new emperor should make his former aunt the empress at the coronation ceremony ended with Xiahou Chun saying, "Anyone who objects again will be beaten to death."
Song Qingxue just stood aside and watched without saying anything.
Although Xiahou Jun came to the throne in a very despicable way, he is now the ruler of the world. Even if these ministers are dissatisfied with him, they will never say that he is at fault in this matter.
When she was still in school, Song Qingxue heard her teacher talk about many absurd deeds of the ancient royal family in history class. Later, on the Internet, she often saw people lamenting how miserable those beauties in ancient times were who were innocently framed for crimes.
In the past, I only read about other people’s experiences through text. Although I could empathize with them, I couldn’t feel their own feelings.
now……
How could she have deserved to have the good fortune to be a beauty who brought disaster to the country and the people in this life?
Yes, in the eyes of these officials, Xiahou Jun insisted on marrying her because he was bewitched by this evil woman.
In the eyes of normal people, no normal person would be willing to marry a divorced woman as his wife, and no normal person would marry a woman divorced by his uncle as his wife.
If he was just a stupid son of an ordinary family, it would be fine. Although marrying his uncle's ex-wife sounds a bit absurd, at most he would be laughed at by people in the same village.
But Xiahou Chun is not an ordinary person, he is the emperor!
As an emperor, he insisted on marrying his uncle's ex-wife as his queen at his coronation ceremony, and his uncle's body was still warm.
Bad news spreads a thousand miles, but the bad news of the royal family can spread far more than a thousand miles.
Song Qingxue was originally the principal wife of the Regent Prince, and this was known to everyone. And now that Xiahou Jun had married her today, it would become known to everyone in a few days.
What he did today was truly immoral.
Even though he was firmly seated on the throne and no one dared to scold him to his face, there were countless people stabbing him in the back.
Not only that, those foreign envoys who came to Dongyue have not left yet, and this matter will definitely reach their ears.
By then, not only will the people of Dongyue be stabbing him in the back, but the news will also spread to foreign countries, and he will become a laughing stock among foreign people.
In fact, from a bystander's perspective, Song Qingxue really enjoys watching this kind of thing, but unfortunately, this time, she is one of the parties involved.
If only Xiahou Chun was stabbed in the back and became the laughing stock of other countries, she would actually be very happy, but unfortunately there is no if.
Xiahou Jun wanted to marry her, whether she was willing or not, in the eyes of others, the two of them were tied together, and naturally they would be talked about together.
But she is a woman, the cause of the trouble of marrying into the royal family for the second time, so she may suffer more abuse than the culprit.
Song Qingxue hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to fight back.
She couldn't just sit there and wait for death!
Xiahou Chongyuan and Xiahou Le were indeed not dead, but she didn't know when they would come.
But she didn't want to marry Xiahou Chun. Even if she was just pretending, she couldn't do it anymore!
Song Qingxue raised her head, shook off the two palace maids who were supporting her, and said loudly: "I, Song Qingxue, cannot bear the words 'trouble' in the mouths of the adults! Today I will tell you clearly that he forced me to get married, and he also insisted on giving me the position of queen!"
Seeing that the officials seemed to be about to lose their temper after hearing what she said, she quickly said, "But I will not be married to you, and I have never thought of sitting on the throne of queen! As for the unwarranted accusations of being a witch or a beauty who brings disaster, I will not bear the responsibility!"
"Song Qingxue! Don't be so ungrateful!" The first person to speak was still Zhao Wanqiu's father, Lord Zhao, the Minister of Rites.
If someone else said this, she could barely think it was reasonable, but she couldn't understand why Minister Zhao could say this!
Song Qingxue found it funny, took two steps forward, and said, "Lord Zhao, aren't you Queen Zhao's father? Why would you say such a thing? Another woman has taken your daughter's position as Queen, and you are still so happy?"
Minister Zhao choked for a moment, but soon said with full momentum: "I am just discussing the matter at hand, why did you bring Wanqiu into this?"
Song Qingxue chuckled: "Of course it's because Zhao Wanqiu is about to die. I wanted to tell you in advance so that you, as a father, can prepare a decent funeral for her in advance."
