"As for me, I can't make any promises on behalf of the Han Dynasty, but I can make a promise to you on my own behalf. Of course, this promise applies not only to Sister Zhaojun, but also to all the princesses who are married to foreign countries.
If one day you are tired and want to go home, just tell me at any time and I will take you home. If you reach the end of your life and want to return to your roots, I can also let the system bury you in your hometown and keep you at home forever.
This promise is valid forever, and it will be valid as long as I own the system."
Zhou Jia said this very seriously, with sincerity in her eyes, without any perfunctory intention. Many people had tears in their eyes when they heard her words.
They really all want to go home.
The angry emperors of the Han Dynasty suddenly calmed down and remained silent after hearing Zhou Jia's words.
The court officials below also sighed.
They knew how humiliating it was to marry a foreign princess, but they really had no good solution at the moment.
They do need a marriage alliance for the time being.
However, Zhou Jia's gentleness didn't last long. She soon changed into a sarcastic expression with a cold smile. "Let's talk about who proposed this marriage."
Chinese
Liu Bang's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He had a premonition that this little girl might set fire to him next.
Sure enough, the next second Zhou Jia said:
"I've already said this before when I was talking about your majesty. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, uprisings broke out everywhere and the world was once again in chaos. Eventually, Liu Bang ascended the throne and established the Han Dynasty.
However, the Han Dynasty was not stable when it was just established. In the seventh year of Emperor Gaozu of Han, that is, in 200 BC, Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, was besieged by the Huns on Mount Baideng for seven days and seven nights. He finally escaped by strategy, which is known in history as the Siege of Baideng.
Later, someone came forward and said, "Your Majesty, let's make peace with the Huns." Liu Bang thought about it and thought it was a good idea, so he agreed.
His first choice was his daughter, Princess Lu Yuan, but she refused, as she was too chaste to marry him. Liu Bang had no choice but to find another girl to marry.
Chinese
Liu Bang, who was trapped on Mount Baideng, looked grim.
Zhou Jia had already revealed their future strategy. What should they do now? Would the Xiongnu agree to another marriage alliance?
She really gave them a big problem.
In the dimension before the Battle of Baideng, Liu Bang also looked unhappy.
Once she said this, the Huns would definitely come to settle the score. What would they do then?
In the Xianyang Palace, after hearing Zhou Jiaxuan's words, Lu Zhi glared at Liu Ji beside her and silently hugged her daughter.
Liu Ji no longer had his usual smiling face. He wondered what had happened and why he was trapped in the mountain for so long.
Only Ying Zheng's expression became more indifferent when he heard the word "Xiongnu". He kept writing and listened to Zhou Jia's story while handling state affairs.
The ministers and common people were all heartbroken. The emperor didn't want to marry his daughter off, but someone had to marry her off. So, wouldn't they have to choose a daughter from among the imperial clan and ministers? How could they dare to disobey the emperor's order?
"See, this is the benefit of status. The emperor's daughter doesn't marry herself, so the emperor can find another girl to marry as his own daughter to another country. Your daughter is a daughter, but other people's daughters are not daughters, right?"
Zhou Jia's words ignited the resentment of many people. Yes, their emperor's daughter is a daughter, but theirs is not?
After hearing Zhou Jia's words, all the ministers knelt down in unison, with bitter expressions on their faces.
Help! If Zhou Jia keeps talking like this, His Majesty will get angry. He’s the emperor, not everyone dares to criticize him like she does!
The emperors on the throne all looked very unhappy.
If they could, they would have immediately chosen to turn off the screen, but unfortunately, only Zhou Jia could block the screen one-way, and they had no way to not listen or turn it off.
Zhou Jia would not tell them that only Ying Zheng could turn off the screen at will, and she treated the others equally.
"But think about it from another perspective. Aren't the emperor's daughters innocent? Why do they have to marry into the imperial family? Who would be willing to leave their homeland?"
Zhou Jia's eyes were icy. "Please remember the man who proposed the marriage to Liu Bang. His name was Lou Jing, and he was later given the surname Liu Jing by Liu Bang. If anyone of you proposes a marriage in the future, please marry off on your own, okay? I won't ask your wife and children to marry off. They don't need to bear the burden for you. Just ask the person who proposed the marriage to marry off, okay?"
Chinese
Lou Jing's face flushed red. He proposed the marriage policy for the sake of long-term stability of their Han Dynasty. What did she know!
"No, shameless!"
What is the whole thing she talks about all day long? What does it mean that the person who proposed the marriage should marry over there?
The people around him were angry, amused, and felt very uncomfortable.
"Marriage alliances are meant to promote stability between the two countries. What's wrong with that? Furthermore, marriage alliances have been around since ancient times. If they were wrong, how could they have been passed down? You, woman, are truly short-sighted. Is this how you educate your descendants?"
"That's right. They're just women. Just give them away. What's the big deal? How dare you, a descendant of your generation, talk about national affairs? How can a woman like you understand military and national affairs? You'd better spend your time learning how to please your future husband. If you're so sharp-tongued, be careful that no one will dare to marry you in the future."
"Yes, girl, we women only need to take care of our husbands and children. These major matters have nothing to do with us. You should study the rules of women's conduct. These major matters are not your business."
