Who's going to be the Queen?

Ci Xi and Ci An's conflict was still unavoidable. This time, they were not fighting for the rights of the imperial government, but for the right to choose Tongzhi for the grand marriage.

Zai Chun was going to be married, according to the ethics of Ancient China, a person must first get married, then establish a new family. If you don't get married, then the entire society won't recognize you as an adult.

Correspondingly, you don't have the rights to be a normal adult, such as an official, a head, or even an emperor!

An unmarried person, even if they were in their thirties or forties, would still be considered an immature child in the eyes of others, and wouldn't be able to shoulder such a heavy responsibility!

Therefore, Zai Chun had to get married before taking control of the country. This was a power that even the emperor could not resist!

The queen that Ci An had chosen was Chong Qi's daughter, A Luteshi!

This Chong Qi was incredible, she was the only standard-bearer in the Great Qing! Originally attached to Mongolia's blue flag, later upgraded to a blue flag!

Chong Qi's father was a Grand Scholar, Military Secretary Sai Shanga, and her wife was one of the daughters of Prince Zheng, who was also one of the Gu Ming and eight ministers.

It could be seen that Chong Qi was a very influential family in the Eight Flag System.

Moreover, Chong Qi's character is not bad, she does not have the same silkpants drive like the Eight Banners of the late Qing, she is very honest and loyal to the king. Ci An only looked at this from the surface, she did not understand it too deeply.

However, in Xiao Letian's previous life, this Chong Qi committed suicide to commit suicide when the allied army of the eight nations invaded! From this, it could be seen that this person could be considered one of the few unorthodox people in the Qing Dynasty!

The daughter that such a person could bring up was naturally not bad, she was dignified and generous, gentle and quiet and virtuous. This was Ci An's greatest image, Zai Chun marrying her was definitely a good choice.

The Queen that Ci Xi had chosen was the Fuche that was the daughter of Feng Xiu, the outsider of the Ministry of Revenue. Feng Xiu's family was also very illustrious, the ancestor was the important official Ma Qi, her family had always been working in the Ministry of Revenue!

Feng Xiu Clan's reputation right now was obviously not as high as the top scholar Chong Qi, but the meat on the bun was not on the wrinkles! The Fengxiu Family had been in the Department of Revenue for many years. They had been painstakingly managing their connections, so it could be said that all the secrets of the Department of Revenue couldn't be hidden from them!

Ci Xi had picked the Feng Xiu Family's daughter, Fuche. On one hand, he had his eyes on the Fuche's beautiful and quick-witted appearance, and furthermore, he looked very similar to her when she was young. On the other hand, he had his eyes on the Ministry of Revenue's purse!

If he could give his son a strong helping hand in the Ministry of Revenue, then Feng Xiu would naturally be the candidate for the Minister of Revenue in the future. If he could control the purse, wouldn't that mean she could control the entire Great Qing?

Both empress dowager and empress had their own plans, but after meeting each other, neither of them wanted to let them go, so after a few more words, they ended up arguing!

”Ai …” I have also sent people to inquire about the Feng Xiu Family's Fuche, and they are indeed very beautiful but their temper is bad! ”

”Deep wily mind, wise and cunning …” If this kind of woman were to enter the imperial harem and be linked with Ci Xi, who knows how much trouble she will cause? ”

”Lord Third!” This is what is so urgent, this is what the country is all about! ”

Qing San Ye never thought that a candidate for the Empress would have already caused such a ruckus. ”What about the attitude of your majesty?”

”This matter has yet to be decided by His Majesty! It's only been a few days since I've returned to the capital, but everything has already surged up. The things that His Majesty has learnt in Europe are too overbearing and fierce.

”Tomorrow, I'm going to have a talk with His Majesty to see who he's going to choose. The final decision is still up to the emperor!”

”Then... ”So you're letting go of the airship?”

”Hold it for now... Don't think about it, Yee. He suffered a few losses at the hands of His Majesty, how could he not take revenge? Right now, I have to see how the other party will attack! ”

”As for Ci Xi, he is probably working for his son right now. Let's see if the His Majesty can handle it!”

Fu Qing wanted to advise Ci An to purchase new weapons, but he never thought that he would hear so much new secrets.
