The
sudden question caught several people in the room off guard, and the Huangfu hero said anxiously: "Your Majesty, why do you say this, even if the minister fights for this old life, he will never let the princess be humiliated."
Liu Jian sighed and said: "But now that my Donglan national strength is empty, I really can't fight on two fronts, and when the time comes, the people will be ruined."
Liu Mengli lowered her head and pondered for a long time, and then gritted her silver teeth and said: "If peace can avoid war, then I am willing to make peace." "
No, I can't.
Seeing that Liu Mengli wanted to sacrifice herself, Liu Xinghe's face turned red with excitement, Liu Mengli's heart warmed when she saw this, but for the sake of the country's safety, she could only say with tears: "Thank you Ning Gongzi, but for the sake of the people, it can only be like this."
Liu Xinghe shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, princess, do you think that if you marry Yingzhou, you won't attack Donglan?" On the contrary, once they get married, they will ask for more, and harmony is just a delaying tactic, and in the end you still have to rely on strength to speak." "
When studying history on the earth, Liu Xinghe has seen a lot of things to pacify the enemy country with relatives, such as Zhaojun's exit from the fortress, Tang Fan's harmony, and the combination of Western princesses and princes, although these are all good stories in the eyes of future generations, but they can't change the fact that these political marriages are sacrificing a woman's life in exchange for the peace of thin cicada wings, and a truly bloody dynasty should not be in harmony, not paying tribute, not cutting the land, and using strength to protect the peace of the people, which is why Liu Xinghe became an elemental knight.
"But now that my Donglan domestic army is empty, and Yingzhou Country claims to have millions of people, how can we resist?"
Seeing Liu Jian's sad face, Liu Xinghe stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, don't panic, there is absolutely no million army in Yingzhou, and I have investigated Yingzhou's warships and grain and grass at most, and it is only 200,000 at most."
Liu Jian was shocked when he heard this: "How do you know the number of grain and grass and warships in Yingzhou?" Liu
Xinghe smiled awkwardly and said: "The vice president of the Hunter Guild has an old relationship, and I asked him to investigate, Your Majesty can rest assured, the information is absolutely accurate."
Liu Jian nodded and said expressionlessly: "Ning Gongzi really has a wide range of friends, but this Hunter Guild is really powerful, and even military secrets can be inquired about."
Liu Xinghe's eyes rolled and said, "The Hunter Guild has a lot of talents, and there are many monks in it, so it is not difficult to investigate the strength of Yingzhou." "
The reason why Jiang Yelan can know the approximate strength of the Yingzhou side is because many materials are smuggled from the Hunter Guild, as long as you speculate a little, but this matter must not be known to the emperor, otherwise the relationship between Jiang Yelan and Liu Xinghe and Huang Fulie is likely to implicate the Protector Mansion.
"Your Majesty, although my Donglan troops are insufficient, the city is high and the walls are thick, and Yingzhou is far away from the mainland, so it is difficult to supply in the rear, so there is no need to worry at all.
Liu Xinghe immediately changed the topic, and at this time Liu Jian was also a little relieved, at this time, the Huangfu hero also went up to reassure the emperor, and then Liu Jian asked Liu Xinghe and the Huangfu hero to go back first.
As night fell, a few special guests came to Xiangguo's mansion.
"Ai Xiangguo, why do you want to help that Ning Caichen today, are you still afraid that a small staff general will not succeed?"
Ai Qian smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Ishida, you don't know, then Ning Caichen is now a big celebrity in the eyes of the emperor, and I can't help it."
Ishida Kenichi said angrily: "We didn't achieve any of our goals when we went to Donglan this time, Ai Xiangguo, you have to help us, you didn't have a soft hand when you collected the money."
Ai Qian sneered and said, "Are you threatening me?"
Ishida Kenichi showed a sly gaze and said, "I'm just kindly reminding Your Excellency that you don't want the emperor to know about this matter."
Ai Qian frowned, and then smiled: "Don't worry, Lord Ishida, since I promised to help, I will never break my promise, but it is impossible for you to want Lianyungang, but if you want to marry, there is still a way."
Ishida Kenichi was overjoyed when he heard this: "What is Xiangguo's good plan?"
Ai Qian took a sip of tea and looked treacherous: "You will know when the time comes."
Ishida Kenichi frowned, but immediately smiled with a smile on his face: "Then we will wait for Jiayin, I was rude just now, and there are some small things here that please Xiangguo laugh at."
Ken Ishida beckoned, and his subordinates took out a sandalwood box, opened it, and found that it contained a night pearl the size of an egg, and the dazzling white light was brighter than a candle.
Ai Qian's eyes lit up suddenly, and the dissatisfaction just now disappeared in an instant, and he happily accepted the night pearl and kept playing with it in his hand.
"Okay, leave the matter to me, and you go back first, so that you don't be seen. "
Then there is Lord Lao Xiangguo, I will wait to leave." Ishida
Kenichi and the others secretly left the Xiangguo Mansion from the back door under the leadership of Jia Ding, and as soon as he went out, Ishida Kenichi's face changed, from Fang Cai's flattery and treachery to viciousness.
Ishida Kenichi turned his head and glanced at Xiangguofu viciously: "This damn Ai Qian, I have received so much silver from us for nothing, sooner or later one day I will let him pay it back a hundred times."
One of his subordinates said: "Lord Ishida, now that I have a million troops in Yingzhou, and Donglan's country is empty, why don't you take this opportunity to attack and achieve hegemony in one fell swoop, but instead negotiate with them."
Kenichi Ishida frowned and said, "How can I want to be angry here, but how can we have an army of one million, only 200,000." "
What, why did the general only give us 200,000 troops?" Ishida
Kenichi sighed helplessly and said: "The general has just unified the four islands of Yingzhou, and there are still many rebel forces ready to move, and those daimyo are also yang and yin, and Ben refuses to send troops, damn, this is obviously a good time......" Ishida Kenichi
sorted out his thoughts and said:" In short, don't go to war until you have to, the 200,000 army can't attack Donglan, and our primary purpose this time is to bring back the princess of Donglan Kingdom.
An envoy was puzzled: "We are fighting so much, just for a woman?"
Ishida Kenichi sneered: "You don't know, this Princess Wenyu of Donglan Kingdom has a very special physique, and combining with her can speed up cultivation, the Nine Chrysanthemums faction under the general is competing with the Shinto Sect for the orthodoxy of the Onmyoji, and the Shinto Sect has produced a peerless genius, but the Holy Son of the Nine Chrysanthemums faction has fallen into a bottleneck, so this Princess Wenyu is needed to help the Holy Son break through."
Ishida Ken's eyes showed a fierce light: "In short, no matter what, we must snatch Princess Wenyu back, once the general helps the general master the orthodoxy of the Onmyoji, then those daimyo will not dare to have any other dissenting intentions, and when the time comes, the army will cross the sea, not to mention a mere Donglan, even if it is the Tianyuan Continent, I Yingzhou can also occupy a place!"
Ishida Kenichi looked at Xiangguofu coldly and muttered to himself: " Hmph, Ai Qian, now it's up to you to see what your plans are, don't let me down, hehehe. In
the next few days, Ishida Kenchi and others went to the court many times to negotiate and put forward the idea of marriage, but the result was naturally rejected, and in the court, Ai Qian did not say a word from beginning to end, which made Ishida Kendai angry, thinking that he had been deceived, but reason made him not die in the net, and finally the two sides broke up unhappily, and the situation became more tense.
On this day, Ishida Kenichi and others returned disappointed again, his patience had been exhausted, and at this time the imperial court also got the news that Yingzhou was gathering troops, and the emperor went to prepare for the affairs of the enemy, and while the emperor left the hero, Ai Qian found the emperor.
"Ai Aiqing, you said that there is a way to solve this matter, I don't know what the method is?"
Liu Jian sat in the imperial study with a tired face, and he was hesitant for the past few days, although Liu Xinghe gave him a reassurance, he was still a little worried.
Ai Qian bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, now that my Donglan army cannot return outside, it is really not suitable to fight on two fronts.
"Having said that, I can't stop others from beating me.
Ai Qian smiled and said: "This matter is very easy to solve, Yingzhou just wants to force us to make peace, in this case, let's just find a wishful husband for the princess." "
You mean I'm going to hire a pony for Li'er?"
"Exactly.
"But I just said before that the princess has never been married, wouldn't it annoy the other party if she suddenly recruited a horse
?" Ai Qian laughed and said: "This is easy to do, let's have a competition to recruit relatives, my Donglan is full of talents, far better than those small people in the island country, and I will definitely be able to choose a good son-in-law for the princess, and on the Yingzhou side, how can they blame us for their own inability
?" "But is this really okay?"
"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, we can carry out two civil and military competitions, and finally let the princess choose her own husband, anyway, the choice is in the hands of the princess, so that we can not only delay time, but also recruit talents, why not?"
Liu Jian was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay, just do what Aiqing said." "
Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Hahaha, Lord Xiangguo is really tall, which not only deals with those Yingzhou people, but also creates opportunities for us.
In the lobby, the Xiangguo Party headed by Li Yushan gathered around to compliment Ai Qian, and Ai Qian said lightly: "Don't be too happy, there are many talents in the people, be careful of capsizing in the gutter."
Zhao Jin said triumphantly: "Don't worry, Lord Xiangguo, the registration right for this competition is in our hands, there will only be our people on the list, and those untouchables are not even qualified to participate."
"The key is not here, the iron still needs to be hard, as far as your Zhao Su'an is not four or six, the princess will not look at it." Ai Qian glanced at Zhao Jin with a cold face, and a burst of sneers broke out around him, Zhao Jin couldn't help but lower his head on his face, and made up his mind to beat that rebel at night.
Then, Ai Qian turned his head to look at Li Yushan and the handsome scholar behind him and said, "This competition, it depends on Master Li and Shuwen's nephew."
"Please rest assured that you will definitely live up to your mission. Li Shuwen is suave with a folding fan in his hand, as the champion of the dynasty, he has the capital of the world, but now he is a little uneasy in his heart: "Lord Xiangguo, I am sure to win the championship in the Wen test, but now the most troublesome are the emperor Fulie and Ning Caichen." "
