Year 7291 of the Great Zhou Royal Calendar.
There were rumors in the imperial court that the emperor was preparing for a marriage alliance with the Li family.
He wanted his two sons to marry the two daughters of the Li family and then marry his daughter to Li Yueming.
The moment this news was released.
Instantly, the entire Great Zhou Empire's imperial family and aristocratic families couldn't sit still.
Since ancient times, it was very common for emperors and ministers to marry.
It was also often used by the emperor to win over and buy people's hearts.
Through marriage, they forcefully tied the interests of the ministers to the chariot of the royal family.
The two combined to form a new community of interests.
Under normal circumstances, it was already an honor for the officials to be able to get the royal family to take the initiative to marry.
However, this marriage alliance had greatly shocked the imperial family and the great clans.
