Red Alert 1895

Chapter 707: persuasion queen

Wang Guorui looked at Wilhelmina, and couldn't help but start to think about how to persuade Wilhelmina to marry her daughter to the German prince. But at present, it seems that Queen Wilhelmina is very opposed to her daughter's marriage, because since she can give up the life of being in power in the Netherlands for her own happiness, she came to China with Wang Guorui to live in another country, and she has to endure her husband Living with other women not far from the palace where I live, but I can't pass the days together. But thinking of this, Wang Guorui also felt that he owed Wilhelmina a lot. In fact, Wilhelmina was the woman who really paid the most for Wang Guorui. Even for him, he chose to turn a blind eye to China's occupation of the Dutch colonies. If it was Wang Guorui, if Wang Guorui and Wilhelmina's identities were switched, then Wang Guorui might take the opportunity to threaten the other party and use various means to force the other party to give up occupying these colonies.

But Wilhelmina never threatened Wang Guorui with their relationship, and came to China on her own initiative, and sat and watched her husband be with other women, while she could only let her husband accompany her occasionally. This is actually very unfair, so Wang Guorui actually feels that he owes Wilhelmina in terms of personal feelings. So now Wilhelmina is firmly opposed to marrying her daughter, so how can Wang Guorui open her mouth to force her?

What's more, Wang Guorui doesn't want his daughter to marry an outsider. After all, it's the thinking of any future generations that a princess is only married to someone else. Even if this Angelina is not her own Chinese princess, she is her own daughter anyway. In Wang Guorui's eyes, it is fine for her to marry a Chinese or a Dutchman, after all, both of them are from her homeland. But marrying someone from another country made Wang Guorui a little uncomfortable. But now they are forced to get married, and Wang Guorui doesn't want to force Wilhelmina, so they suddenly have nothing to say.

The two were so silent, and then Wilhelmina said with a wry smile: "Wang, it seems that you really don't regard me as your wife, do you?"

"Mingna, why do you have such an idea? I have always regarded you as my wife. Although I have many wives, I really regard you as my wife. You don't have to think too much, between the royal family The marriage is inevitable. You should also be aware of this." Wang Guorui said.

But Wilhelmina asked Wang Guorui: "If you regard me as your wife, why don't you regard Angelina as your daughter? You can publicly announce that Chinese princesses will not marry outsiders, but what about this Angelina? For your future subjects, even if Angelina does not have the title of Chinese princess, even if she is the first heir to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, then she is still a Chinese princess in the eyes of your subjects. She is also yours A biological daughter is a direct bloodline. So if you treat your daughter differently and have two sets of standards, is this something you, a father, should do?"

"This..." Wang Guorui had nothing to say.

If Wang Guorui was that kind of feudal king, he could confidently say many reasons, such as the distinction between concubine and concubine, and naturally they would be treated differently. You must know that the treatment of concubine and concubines in China is different. Not only are sons divided into concubine and concubine, but daughters of concubine are generally not easily betrothed even if they marry. Daughters born on the first line are generally the marriage partners of important people. Men with too low status or family background are not eligible to marry their first-born daughters. The status of the daughters of the concubines is different, and the marriage selection conditions for the daughters of the concubines are not so harsh, and men with lower status may also have the opportunity to marry. However, the daughters of the concubine are not valued in the family. Even if a daughter of the concubine is married many years ago, several daughters of the concubine will be treated as concubines, and they will be given to the husband of the concubines as concubines.

For many Chinese, even if this Wilhelmina is the queen, her daughter is just a so-called "concubine" for many traditional Chinese. It's nothing more than a concubine, and it's still a barbarian's blood, which makes people look down on him even more. So in ancient times. Many fathers can confidently say what is different between concubine and concubine, and it is reasonable to discriminate against concubine children openly. This is not only reasonable but also legal in ancient times.

However, Wang Guorui, as a later generation, should treat every child fairly according to the thinking of later generations. No child should be discriminated against. So Wang Guorui really couldn't say anything about different treatment. After all, years of education cannot be changed by him. In later generations, fair treatment of children has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Now that Wang Guorui is about to become the emperor, he can't say anything about the difference. Even if there may be some differences in the succession to the throne in the future, it is in terms of property, their future education and various welfare benefits. Wang Guorui will try his best to give them the same.

"Can't you treat each of your children fairly?" Wilhelmina asked again.

Wang Guorui fell into silence, she didn't know what to say.

"Since this is the case, why should I stay in China? Since you can't treat each of your wives fairly, and you can't treat each of your children more fairly, then you are not a qualified husband, you are not a qualified Father, then there is no need for me to stay in China, I will take Angelina back to the Netherlands." Wilhelmina said.

"Well, Ming Na, I have something to say, something to talk about. Is there anything we can't discuss? Well, I have an idea, see if it works!" Wang Guorui said.

If Wilhelmina returned to the Netherlands, Wang Guorui might lose all face in the country, just like the empress and concubines of ancient emperors ran out of the palace, it would be a huge scandal for ancient emperors. But now the Chinese may not know so much, they still follow the thinking of this era, that is, if Wilhelmina, the concubine, ran back to China without authorization, it would really be a shame, and it would be a disgrace to Wang Guorui's reputation It was a small blow, so of course he couldn't let Wilhelmina go back home casually. Even if they want to go back to China, Guangming announced that they would go back to visit their relatives, not that this kind of couple had a falling out and went back to China, which would be a shame.

"Say it!" said Wilhelmina.

Wang Guorui said: "In this case, we first pretended to agree to the Germans, and then got engaged first. Of course, our daughter is still young, and we said that we will not officially get married until they are of age. Now our daughter is only two years old. If we want to wait until To become an adult, it must take fifteen years. After fifteen years, the international situation will change drastically, so we can find an opportunity to reject this marriage, what do you think?"

Wang Guorui already has a plan, that is to carry out the so-called engagement first, and engagement does not mean real marriage. Engagement is just an agreement, anyway, you can regret it when the time comes! Since ancient times, the thing of regretting a marriage is not pleasant, but as long as you want to, you can still regret your marriage. Anyway, my daughter is still young, so let's get engaged first. As for waiting until many years later, the First World War will definitely break out at that time. At that time, I could easily carry out the so-called repentance of the marriage. At that time, even if the Germans suffered from this dumb loss, they could only bear it.

This engagement was only used to appease the Germans, not to actually intend to get married. Anyway, as long as you can get engaged, then this will definitely appease the Germans, and then there will always be a chance to regret the marriage in the future. Anyway, it is still possible to delay certain things by means of a country at that time. At that time, as long as Wang Guorui uses some means to delay the situation for a period of time, it can be delayed! For example, the First World War may have broken out fifteen years later, and my daughter was eighteen years old at that time, and even if she wanted to get married, there were still many ways to delay it. According to Chinese customs, it is not a problem to delay the marriage of the emperor for three or two years. Anyway, as long as you want to, why don't you feel guilty? It's okay to delay for a year or two. And one or two years later, the world situation changed again. Anyway, at that time, China could take the opportunity to send troops to intervene in the First World War, and then it would definitely gain the greatest benefit. At that time, even if the Germans don't want to cancel the engagement, it's not up to them.

After hearing this, Wilhelmina sighed and said, "Since this is the case, then it's fine. However, I hope you must do it. I don't want my daughter to be married. Even if she marries a Chinese You can be a man, or a Dutchman, but you can’t marry a foreign country~lightnovelpub.net~ Do you understand?”

"I understand, I can swear in the name of my ancestors!" Wang Guorui said.

But Wilhelmina replied: "I don't need you to swear, anyway, if you can't do it then I will divorce you!"

"Damn, you even said something like divorce?" Wang Guorui was also a little surprised.

I have to say that for any woman, after giving birth to children, she devotes more energy to her children, and her husband is ranked second to her husband. Zheng Hong was like this, and so was Wilhelmina. After they gave birth to their own daughters, even Wang Guorui's husband's status fell back to the second place. This may be a woman's natural motherhood, even Wang Guorui, as a father, would not be jealous of his own children.

However, at least Queen Wilhelmina was persuaded, so the problem was solved. As long as Queen Wilhelmina does not object, it means that one important obstacle is missing.

"The next step is to deal with the Dutch Parliament!" Wang Guorui said. (To be continued.)
