Chapter 317: Collecting Evidence (1)
Knowing their emperor's temperament, none of the ministers and generals dared to answer this question rashly. After a long silence, Yuan Dongke stepped forward and clasped his hands together.
"Your Majesty, Chen thinks it is better to accept a political marriage."
Emperor Yong'an raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? Why do you think so?"
Yuan Dongke replied, "Although the Xiong Nu have sent their Shisan Gongzhu for a political marriage, Luandi Huiyun only wants to form an alliance rather than surrender completely. Corruption is rife, and the treasury is empty. It would not be good if we fought another war."
Emperor Yong'an heard the words and nodded in agreement. He looked at Cai Guiqi again and asked, "Cai Shangshu, do you have anything to add?"
