"Father, are you okay?" Princess Shangyang - Xue Xuexuan said in surprise when she saw this scene.
You know, when he was sent here by the steward, he was so drunk that he couldn't even walk steadily, and he was talking nonsense for a while.
How come when the person suddenly leaves, everything seems fine?
Xue Da drank a cup of sobering tea handed to him by Xue Xuexuan.
I tasted it and it tasted like tangerine peel, not very good.
As he strode towards the hall, he said, “Your father is a supreme grandmaster, and your majesty is also a supreme grandmaster.
How could one get drunk with all this fine wine? It was just a formality.
Just like, no matter how you recall the memories of your youth now, those feelings are just a formality."
Xue Da felt a little sad when he said this, but he did not regret it. These were just small prices to pay.
The body of the innate grandmaster is a unity of all things, and his qi, life and body are extremely perfect, all naturally formed.
Things like alcohol can be completely broken down into energy with just a little thought.
"......What does Your Majesty say?" Xue Xuexuan nodded.
Of course she knew that this wine was useless to the Grandmaster, but if there were other immortal wines in the palace, they might have an impact on it, but it seemed that there was no such thing.
Xue Da brought Xue Xuexuan into the hall and sat on the main seat, with a serious look on his broad face.
She continued to explain, "It's exactly as planned. His Majesty is wary of our Zhenguo Mansion. That's why he wants to grant you a marriage. The only people he can grant you are those princes."
Xue Xuexuan lowered her eyes slightly, but she was not too surprised by the ending.
The two of them had discussed this long ago, and she was prepared before even entering the palace.
Because the power of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is now too great, and Xue Da is the sharpest knife in the hands of the Emperor.
The Emperor was reluctant to let go, and he couldn't find a better replacement. Over the years, the power had become increasingly difficult to control.
Now, all the people in the empire know about General Xue Da, whose achievements have surpassed his master.
In the military system, Xue Da had a large number of deputy generals, retainers and even personal soldiers.
Even the emperor might not dare to say that his orders were more effective than Xue Da's.
The army is a place where the strong are respected. Xue Da is almost invincible in battle and even leads the troops himself, so he naturally has extremely high prestige.
Of course, this is also because the border of Dagan has been unstable in recent years, and countless foreign races want to invade this rich Central Plains.
Emperor Dagan naturally also needed Xue Da. Among the other generals, at least none could compare to him.
"You've suffered a lot. If this goes on, I won't be able to face your mother when I die." Seeing Xue Xuexuan being so sensible, Xue Da felt a little distressed.
He only has this one daughter, and he never remarried after his first wife died.
Even when her mother died, she was still fighting outside and did not attend her funeral.
It is precisely because of this that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has not been liquidated under such circumstances because there is no heir.
The fact that he did not remarry and have children could be said to be a tacit understanding with Your Majesty.
And the emperor naturally would not let Xue Xuexuan find a son-in-law to inherit these things from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
The children of other officials are also unable to suppress the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and may even collude with each other.
Collusion between civil and military officials is something the emperor cannot tolerate.
The only way is to let his prince marry her and then slowly divide their forces.
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, without an heir, is the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion that His Majesty the Emperor can trust.
In other words, this is the only way for them to have the most basic trust between them, allowing His Majesty the Emperor to safely release Xue Da from the city to fight.
"Father, don't worry. I'm going to get married anyway, so I may have a chance." Xue Xuexuan said this with a gleam in her eyes.
When Xue Da heard this, he naturally knew what his daughter was thinking, but he shook his head: “I actually hope that you can follow an idle prince.
If a prince who has the opportunity to ascend to that position marries you, then he will be a bit of a threat.
The identity of the prince, coupled with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, may threaten the position of our Majesty.
Our Majesty is now the supreme grandmaster, even if his pursuit of immortality fails.
How long do you think he can live? Can he tolerate the appearance of a prince who can threaten his position? "
Xue Da has experienced so much and sees things more clearly.
Moreover, after years of getting along, I understand my old friend's psychology even more.
Although he now seeks immortality, his personality has not changed at all.
Xue Xuexuan was speechless after hearing this. She was silent for a moment: "So I am now...
Whoever marries me will not have the slightest possibility of inheriting the inheritance?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, it's like this." Xue Da's face didn't show much expression. This was the best outcome. "But don't worry.
Your Majesty may lack everything, but you still have quite a lot of sons. There are more than twenty of them who are of the right age, which is enough for you to choose from.
As for whether he can inherit, marrying you will at least keep him safe."
Having said that, Xue Da took out a stack of papers from the cabinet, with some pictures and messages on them.
He arranged for his subordinates and painters to collect these, and they contained the identities of all the princes in Dagan.
"Come, here is the information collected from the princes. See if there is anything that satisfies you.
The eldest prince has a gentle personality, and the second prince... forget it, these people are old and have wives, so they are naturally not suitable.
This fourth prince has a handsome face, and his personality and appearance are most like your Majesty. Are you interested?"
Xue Xuexuan didn't say anything and rolled her eyes at her father.
“Well, indeed, being like Your Majesty is not a good thing.
Let’s take a look at this. The fifth prince has a handsome face and a high level of cultivation. Is he also the nephew of the leader of the Tianyu Sect?
And this one, the eighth prince has a handsome appearance and a smart mind. He recently solved the case of official silver and is also a good candidate.
This twelfth prince is wealthy. His family belongs to the Chamber of Commerce and is extremely wealthy. You must have had a good life in the past.
The Fourteenth Prince has a kind face and looks like an honest man. You must have been very cruel to him if you went over to him."
Looking at Xue Da who was criticizing the prince, Xue Xuexuan was speechless. Why was her father so out of control now?
