Qin Shi Huangdi: [Ridiculous.]
Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang: [There is nothing I can do...]
Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che: [If marriage alliances were effective, why would I fight the Xiongnu? Wouldn't it be better to have marriage alliances every year?]
The other two emperors did not respond. Li Shimin was doing great things quietly. Now Zhou Jia's tone made him feel that he was mocking him, which reminded him of the Weishui Alliance.
Shame, so shameful!
Sooner or later he will get his revenge!
Zhu Yuanzhang was in a bad mood because Empress Ma was by his side, and Zhou Jia's words made Empress Ma feel a little depressed. Although he knew that marriage was a shame, it was sometimes really useful. However, he didn't want to say it directly in front of Empress Ma, so he simply didn't answer.
The word "ridiculous" did not say anything, but it also said everything. Liu Bang was powerless. After all, he could hardly protect himself during the Siege of Baideng. Not to mention Liu Che, who was hot-tempered and was determined to get back the humiliation he had suffered.
The other emperors were divided into two factions. One was similar to Liu Bang. Even though they knew it was humiliating, they had no choice but to marry a princess. The other faction was purely for the purpose of maintaining their throne. They didn't care whether it was shameful or not. As long as they could sit on the throne, nothing else mattered.
Zhou Jia rubbed his eyebrows.
"I also understand that sometimes marriage is a helpless act. Sacrificing a woman can bring years of stability to the border. For some dynasties, this is a sure-win deal. I understand the significance behind marriage, but I still don't agree with it.
My point is that one woman alone cannot bring peace. Ambitious people will always find various reasons to overturn the marriage and provoke war. In the end, it is the princesses who are caught between their motherland and their husbands who are in trouble.
Ying Zheng listened to Zhou Jia's words and guessed that many emperors would choose to marry foreign princesses in the future, and those girls might never return to their homeland.

Liu Bang, who had always been heartless, was a little depressed today. He sighed and said, "Guess what, later on, these descendants will start to scold you."
Lu Zhi just glanced at him and quickly looked away.
She also understood that marriage was a helpless move, but as a woman herself, she also had a daughter. Her daughter Lu Yuan was almost sent out to marry. She naturally hated this policy of marriage from the bottom of her heart.
Some emperors believed that it was the greatest honor for a princess to marry a foreign princess on behalf of their dynasty, but they did not dare to answer directly in the comments and could only speak about it in private.
"Then let's talk about the well-known story of Concubine Zhaojun's journey to the frontier. As a reminder, this story takes place in the Western Han Dynasty, and there will be some small Easter eggs inserted later. As usual, the emperors of the Western Han Dynasty should have their own doctors ready. Don't blame me for not reminding you."
The emperors before Emperor Yuan of Han were all shocked.
Liu Che gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, it seems the trouble I've caused is more than just the marriage. I want to see how powerful my descendants can be!"
Western Han Dynasty?
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, "Meng Tian, bring Liu Ji and the others up."
