After I traveled through the book, my whole family overheard my thoughts and went crazy

Chapter 299: 1 Heart Seeking Marriage

After all, no one can tolerate a person who wants to kill his own child to live in this world.

Even if the fifth prince is not outstanding.

He would never allow an outsider to bully his child.

"What do you think should be done with the people of Xia Kingdom?" Emperor Yuanwu asked in return.

Emperor Yuanwu couldn't help but frown slightly.

According to past practice.

If a country or a city fell.

Then the people of this country would be exiled to some bitter and cold places, and do hard labor such as cutting mountains and chiseling stones.

Some adult women became slaves, while others were sent to brothels.

It is also to prevent them from uniting to rebel and cause greater unrest.

But it was King Xia who did the wrong thing.

It is the people who really suffer.

"Your Majesty." Lu Zhaofeng risked his life to speak up: "I think those people are innocent. If they are willing to submit to us, we should let them stay in their original places. If they are unwilling to submit, we should exile them all."

Emperor Yuanwu remained silent.

Lu Zhaofeng paused and continued, "King Xia has been killing people over the years, with cruelty and brutality. Because we have to pay tribute to the surrounding countries and increase corvée and taxes every year, the people have long been hungry. Even if we don't conquer Xia, I'm afraid those people will rebel when they are forced to the end."

"If that's the case, then do as you say." Emperor Yuanwu paused and continued, "Also, all those subordinates who attacked Xia Kingdom with you will be rewarded generously, especially the relatives of the dead and wounded soldiers, who must be comforted."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lu Zhaofeng said gratefully: "On behalf of the soldiers, I thank Your Majesty for your great grace. We will fight for the Yuan Kingdom at all costs."

Emperor Yuanwu waved his hand at him and said, "Now that the people and soldiers have been settled, what reward do you want for your military exploits?"

Lu Zhaofeng was stunned. He didn't expect Emperor Yuanwu to ask this suddenly.

"I only give you this one chance. If you don't tell me, it will be gone." Emperor Yuanwu said, smiling at him faintly.

"I..." Lu Zhaofeng paused and said, "I would like to ask the emperor to grant me marriage and marry Xia Siqi, the eldest daughter of the Imperial Censor."

Emperor Yuanwu thought he had misheard and asked uncertainly, "Are you sure it's Xia Siqi, the eldest daughter of the Imperial Censor?"

Although Lu Zhaofeng didn't know why Emperor Yuanwu asked this, he still said affirmatively: "Yes."

Emperor Yuanwu: ...

He still remembers it clearly to this day.

Xia Siqi's appearance on the day of the talent show.

Although it is said that one should marry a virtuous woman.

But with Lu Zhaofeng's current status, it is not difficult for him to find a woman who is both virtuous and beautiful.

Why make it so hard on yourself?

Moreover, the position of the Grand Censor was not a particularly high position. It was actually two levels lower than his father's.

No matter from which aspect, getting married will not bring him any benefit.

Why is Lu Zhaofeng doing this?

"Are you really sure, General Lu? Don't you want to think about it again?" Emperor Yuanwu said helplessly.

"Your Majesty, I am sure. I will not consider it anymore." Lu Zhaofeng said firmly.

"Since General Lu is determined to marry Xia Siqi, the eldest daughter of the Imperial Censor, I have no choice but to grant your wish." Emperor Yuanwu picked up his pen and wrote an imperial edict.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live the emperor." Lu Zhaofeng's eyes trembled slightly with excitement.
