"Requesting to marry Jiang Jiamian!? Absurd!"
In the imperial study, upon reading the memorial sent by the King of Huainan, the Emperor slammed it to the ground.
"Your Majesty, is this a memorial from the King of Huainan?"
Standing in the imperial study was none other than Liu Fu, the treacherous minister who had assisted Tuojia in framing the Jiang family, yet was deeply favored by the Emperor, and now served as the prime minister of the court.
The Emperor's face was grim as he pointed at the memorial. "Look at this. The King of Huainan, for some unknown reason, is actually asking me to bestow a marriage upon him. He even promises that he harbors no ulterior motives, and to prove his sincerity, he is willing to increase tribute and relinquish control of the five towns in Huainan."
Liu Fu smiled. "This is a good thing, Your Majesty. Why are you angry instead of pleased?"
