Chapter 165 Proposal
Because the sacrificial field was occupied by the army, the Guan clan would go to the Emperor Teacher Mansion almost every day, hoping that they would eventually become soft-hearted or even exasperated to the point where would buy some more property for the clan. They never believed that good old people like Emperor Teacher and Chief of Ceremonies would abandon their clansmen. The so-called “requesting to be removed from clan” was just angry words, they didn’t really mean it, and after a few days they would calm down. Besides, Guan Wenhai had already been removed from the clan, and the clan even put Guan Mumu in the family tree, recognizing his status as the heir of the Emperor Teacher Mansion, what else did the Guan family want?

On this day, several clan elders were preparing to go to the Emperor Teacher Mansion for a routine worship when they suddenly heard the shocking news that Guan Suyi, the eldest granddaughter of the Emperor Teacher Mansion, was going to become the empress! How is this possible?

“She, didn’t she a reconcile woman?” the clan leader’s eldest daughter-in-law asked in a trembling voice. It was already very lucky for a reconcile woman to find a widower to remarry. What kind of virtue and talent did Guan Suyi have to become the Empress of Wei? Were there no other noble girls in Yanjing?

“So what if she’s a reconcile woman?” The clan leader was already out of his wits, anxious and restless, “Juili people are not like people of the Central Plains. As long as it’s a woman and can give birth to children, they can marry her. In their culture, for women to stay at home and not marry is a sin, delaying the birth of a child is also a serious sin. Otherwise, you think how could they were only 10,000 or 20,000 people when they were driven out of the Central Plains, but then become the overlords who conquered the Nine Continent after several hundreds of years? Every time they exterminated a tribe, they would snatch all the women of that tribe to marry, and even the children born by these women were raised together. They did not care about the so-called bloodline orthodoxy, and only focused on strengthening the prestige of the clan. It was not until they entered the Central Plains that they were gradually influenced by the Han people and attached great importance to the bloodline.”

After all, the clan leader was also a learned person, who had some understanding of the history of the Jiuli clan, then he said in a trembling voice, “Nowadays, the conflict between the Han and Jiuli ethnic group is deepening, and the emperor’s attitude fluctuates from side to side. Not only promoting Han ministers, but also not forgetting to reuse his own confidants from his clan, resolutely pushed down a group of Jiuli clan nobles, and recruited a group of more capable people. At this critical juncture, who is the mother of a country is indeed a matter of national importance and even more important to the development and survival of the two ethnic groups. It just the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. Several princes are all imprisoned, and the Jiuli clan’s power is declining. The Han ministers has to fight with all of their strength, and it’s only natural that the empress position would fall on a Han woman’s hand. Why it has to be Guan Suyi? She has family background, she has talents, and her temperament and courage are far superior to ordinary women. Choosing her to enter the palace can suppress the limelight of the Pan family’s daughter. As long as she gives birth to the eldest son first, the status of Han ministers will be stable.”

Speaking until here, he couldn’t help beating his chest and stomping his feet, “Had I known that Guan Suyi has the fate of the phoenix, I would not have saved Guan Wenhai at the beginning! Evil creature! He caused our Guan family not only to lose our backer the Emperor Teacher Mansion, but also miss the opportunity to become the empress’s clan! What kind of status the empress’ maiden clan is? You can ask for a title and a Shilu, enough to benefit the children and grandchildren for eternity! I regret it! I’m so stupid!” As he spoke, he burst into tears, and wept bitterly.
