Chapter 219
The ministers were of course shocked by this, but the late emperor once said that ruling the country with force in the south is not the way to govern the country. Even if a civilized country has a few profits, it will not be able to eliminate the threat to the Jinling Kingdom after the trade between the countries.

Gu Xuan coughed lightly, to see how the emperor responded to Ye Tingye's premise, it is impossible to keep the old way of doing business in Zhuonan, but there must be a legitimate reason for Zhuonan to retreat.

When Ye Tingye rejoiced that Jinling Kingdom had no reason to refuse, Gu Xuan suddenly smiled and said: "The second prince said these words because he thought that Jinling Kingdom was so poor that it used the three-tier bonus of burning south to hold national interests? Let's not talk about these three-tier bonuses. How charming, but relying on the Shuinan River violates the peace talks between the two countries many years ago. Closing the Shuinan River is an agreement made between Zhuonan and our country. Shunan River? Besides, my Jinling Kingdom is a big country, how could I marry the princess to another country for this self-interest? Is the second prince too confident in himself, or is he underestimating my Jinling Kingdom?"

After the emperor made a point, all the officials suddenly realized that keeping the trade route along the Shunan River and attracting the southern barbarians is the biggest threat to our country.The emperor's words also expressed the meaning of Ye Tingye, if it were not for his reluctance, how could he support Gu Xuan and Ye Tingye's fight to marry the eldest princess.

The hall fell into silence for a moment, and Ye Tingye said confidently: "What's the matter? There are also deadlines for the agreed things, and one must look forward and cannot always stay under the rules of the ancestors. This old-fashioned way of doing business is okay." Let’s talk again, if it’s not possible, Zhuo Nan can give up another layer of dividends. Is it true that the state of Jinling is worried that the southern tribes will pose a threat to Jinling after the Shunan River is conservative? With Zhuo Nan in the south, it is absolutely guaranteed. Jinling Kingdom will not bring in the crisis of foreign enemies. My love for Princess Ling Yan will remain unchanged in this life. If she becomes the empress of our country, then Zhuo Nan and Jinling Kingdom will become closer and closer. How could Zhuo Nan do anything that would harm the state? Therefore, I would like to ask Your Majesty to marry Princess Ling Yan to me, and how about the two countries discussing the way of doing business?"

Gu Xuan said: "The second prince is eloquent and eloquent, it sounds reasonable and reasonable. Zhuo Nan country wants to marry Jinling country and can understand it, but the second prince is far away in Zhuo Nan, but he also said that he has admiration for Princess Ling Yan of our country. Dare I ask if the second prince has ever met Princess Ling Yan? And why did he choose to marry only Princess Ling Yan? I don’t know, does the second prince really want to marry the princess, or does he just want our country to keep the old Shunan River?"

Some ministers followed suit: "That's right, the second prince said that he admired the princess for a while, and then used threats to protect the old Shunan River. I don't know what his intentions are?"

"That's right, does the Jinling Congress really care about the three-tier dividends? Think about Wei Qingwei, who expanded the world's gold mines, and the treasury was empty, how could he care about the profits of the three-tier? I think Zhuo Nanguo wants to Our country has opened the Shunan River, so that we can bring in the tribal forces from the south to disturb our border."

"This marriage must never be connected, and this way must never be opened!"

"That's right, who knows if Zhuo Nan's wolf ambition really wants to marry our country!"

Everyone questioned Zhuo Nan's purpose with every word, but Gu Xuan just laughed and didn't make any statement, just watching how Ye Tingye got into this situation.

After a while, Qi Mingzhi, who has been silent all the time, raised his cup, raised it to his chest and said to Ye Tingye: "It is rumored that the country of Zhuo Nan has always been ruled by martial arts, and even the former emperor of Zhuo Nan was born as a knight-errant. Zhuo Nan is known as the number one soldier, so he must be very skillful? Of course, people have their strengths and weaknesses, and they can't think of so many ways to govern the country, but they can understand how to put effort into their achievements. The second prince just arrived in the capital He has repeatedly challenged and defeated many heroes of our country when he was young, which shows that he is extremely brave!"

Ye Tingye was furious at first, but when it comes to kung fu, he is proud of his life. The birth of the royal family's achievement in martial arts has reached its peak, and he is still quite confident in himself.

"That's right. When I came here, I also heard that the generals of the Jinling Kingdom are all lands. Although they are not as good as my Zhuonan Kingdom, they are still hierarchical and easy to distinguish between strong and weak. But I have selected so many masters, so it can be seen that the martial arts circle of Jinling Kingdom is not outsiders. It is said that he is invincible. Unfortunately, I don’t know if I came at the wrong time, or Jinling Kingdom has no masters to fight, so I have no interest in fighting for a few days.”

Qi Mingzhi: "The second prince is wrong. How can the ones that the second prince won a few days ago be called masters? Those are just some businessmen in our country who just want to see the second prince's wrist. My Jinling Kingdom A master does not discuss with a group of businessmen, but kills enemies for the country."

Ye Tingye said unconvinced: "Since this is the case, why don't you let the experts from Jinling Kingdom go in and discuss with me here today. If I win, His Majesty the Emperor will betroth Princess Lingyan to me?"

Qi Mingzhi: "What if you lose?"

Ye Tingye: "How could I lose? I have never lost in Zhuo Nan, I am confident that I will not lose."

Qi Mingzhi: "Could it be that the second prince has never heard of it. There are people beyond people, and is there a sky beyond the sky?"

Ye Tingye looked at Gu Xuan, and then at Qi Mingzhi. When he came, he would not have known that Gu Xuan could retreat tens of thousands of troops from Xijing by himself, and Qi Mingzhi was an invincible right-wing general in Jinling. .

He had prepared early in the morning, but he had challenged Qi Mingzhi and Gu Xuan in the posthouse, but unfortunately neither of them accepted the challenge.

Today is just a good opportunity, could Gu Xuan and Qi Mingzhi really reject his challenge under the watchful eyes of everyone?
Ye Tingye said: "Looks like it's better to just shoot directly than to say anything. Although I don't know the rules of Jinling Kingdom's confrontation, I still understand the principles of confrontation. Today, I will represent Zhuonan Kingdom's martial arts circle and challenge Jinling Kingdom's masters. If I win, His Majesty the Emperor will marry Princess Lingyan to me."

The emperor smiled: "What will happen if the second prince loses? The victory or defeat of the competition is hard to determine. If we don't establish rules first, how dare I accept the competition in front of the palace?"

Ye Tingye is quite confident: "If I lose... I will never mention the matter of marriage and Shu Nanhe's old-fashionedness, and I will set off immediately to return to Zhuo Nan!"

The emperor also readily agreed: "Okay, since the second prince has said so, how can I Jinling Kingdom not challenge?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Gu Xuan and Qi Mingzhi. Gu Xuan once said clearly that he could win. Even though the emperor believed in Qi Mingzhi's talent, he still wanted Gu Xuan to give it a try.

"Gu Xuannai is our country's newest hero, so asking him to challenge is not considered an insult to the second prince, right? I personally testify today that if the second prince wins this battle, I will renew Princess Ling Yan to the second prince, but if the second prince If you lose, let’s leave this matter alone and don’t need to mention the marriage and the Shunan River.”
