Wei Lai's words fell, and the entire Daxiong Hall fell into silence.

If Li Xiubai's words were explicit to the extreme, then Wei Lai's response could not be simply described as-for-tat.

A smell of gunpowder permeated the Daxiong Palace, and everyone looked nervously at the two people on the field.

Li Xiubai obviously didn't expect Wei Lai to say such a thing, he was slightly stunned, but surprisingly did not show anger, but after coming back to his senses, he smiled and said, "His Royal Highness King Wei seems to have read a lot of books?"

"I can't say how many books I've read, I understand these truths as a three-year-old child in Ningzhou, so why do I need to teach them in books?" Wei Lai sneered.

Wei Lai is a steady person, and his experience when he was young made him know the way of forbearance.

But forbearance does not mean blindly retreating, for example, at this moment, Li Xiubai made it clear that the comer was not good, that is, he came to find trouble with Weilai, no matter how respectful Wei Lai was, in exchange for the coercion and mockery of the other party, instead of this, Wei Lai was unwilling to give the other party a way out.

Li Xiubai was stunned again, and he continued: "The name of King Wei's sharp teeth, Li has heard of it for a long time, and today he learned it, and he knew that there is no vanity under this reputation. ”

"But there is a question below......"

"The King of Wei is full of loyalty, righteousness and benevolence, but Li asked the King of Wei, who is the minister?"

Wei Lai's eyes narrowed, and he probably guessed Li Xiubai's calculation.

He said in a deep voice: "I am the king of Wei in Ningzhou, not anyone's minister. ”

Li Xiubai continued to say disapprovingly: "Ningzhou is Yandi, Ningren is Yanren, as far as I know, you, the King of Wei, were still canonized by Yanting, how did you become a minister of no one in the mouth of King Wei?"

"King Wei has forgotten his ancestors so much, can he be called disloyal and unjust?"

When these words came out, the faces of everyone present changed, and the eyes that looked at Wei Lai became strange, while the eyes that looked at Li Xiubai were full of admiration.

Wei Lai's previous downfall can be described as condescending, which put Li Xiubai at a disadvantage, but as soon as Li Xiubai said this, the situation turned around in an instant.

When Jiang Huanshui died, Wei Lai shouted: "For three years, I would rather die Yan." But it has spread all over the north and south of the country, and it is precisely because of this bearing that he has become famous in the north.

He refuted Li Xiubai in the name of loyalty, but Li Xiubai used this to oppose the army.

In the eyes of everyone, Wei Lai at this moment should be riding a tiger, and after recognizing Yan Chen's identity, how can he avenge Jiang Huanshui again?

Today, this seems to be a battle of tongues in the court, but after all, it is in front of the eyes of all the forces in the north, and if you are not careful, you will become a laughing stock in the north and be ashamed of others.

For a while, everyone's eyes fell on Wei Lai at that time, wanting to see how this His Royal Highness the King of Wei should behave himself.

But who knows, after Wei Lai heard this question, he suddenly laughed presumptuously.

He laughed very sincerely, and his voice resounded throughout the entire Daxiong Hall, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

Li Xiubai's brows furrowed and he asked, "Why is King Wei laughing?"

"How can you not laugh when you listen to the barking of dogs?" Wei Lai asked with squinted eyes.

After hearing this, Li Xiubai's face finally showed a warm and angry look for the first time, and he said in a deep voice: "I talked to the King of Wei about the way of loyalty and righteousness, although it was unpleasant, but it was also within the number of courtesies, the King of Wei didn't know how to answer, just admit defeat, such foul language, wouldn't it be undignified?"

The smile on Wei Lai's face did not diminish because of this, but looked at it

Xiang Li Xiubai asked rhetorically: "Does the general know what loyalty is?"

"Respect for loyalty. Li Xiubai responded.

"What is Shang?" Wei Lai asked again.

Li Xiubai didn't like Wei Lai's question-and-answer technique, he only felt that the other party was talking nonsense, if it was on weekdays, he would have regarded it as an idiot and ignored it.

But at this moment, after all, he is on the Daxiong Palace, and everyone in the north is watching, even if there is a lot of unhappiness in his heart, Li Xiubai still responded in a deep voice: "Heaven is the top, the father is the top, and the king is the top." ”

"The general has read a lot of books?" Wei Lai asked again.

The displeasure on Li Xiubai's face was even worse at that time, he felt that Wei Lai was deliberately talking about him, he was a little bored, but he still said calmly: "When I was young, my family was poor, and I couldn't afford to buy rare things, so I could only study to live, so I saw a lot. ”

"It's a pity. And Li Xiubai's answer was exchanged for Wei Lai's low head and a long sigh.

"What is a pity?" asked Li Xiubai.

"It's a pity that I didn't know the general at that time, and the general's family was poor, and he had to spend money to buy books, which was a pity. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Lai paused, and then said: "After all, the general's book is read in vain, so it is better to save some money and buy new clothes for your parents." ”

"You!" The anger on Li Xiubai's face was even worse, he stared at Wei for a moment, wanting to be angry, but he suppressed it again, and said in a deep voice: "King Wei! ”

"How well I read the books and how my parents are doing, it is not the turn of His Royal Highness King Wei to make a big statement here. ”

Wei Lai turned a deaf ear to Li Xiubai's ridicule, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, general, Wei Lai is not talking nonsense. ”

"The general said, "Heaven is above, the father is above, and the king is above." ”

"But Wei Lai didn't feel that there was a way to do this, Wei Lai thought that the attainment was the best, the virtuous was the best, and the benevolent was the best!"

"Father, whoever gives birth to me and raises me, should be filial. ”

"The Heavens, towering above it, shall not be spied on, but shall be respected and feared. ”

"As for the monarch......"

"The benevolent person is in charge, the wise person guards its success, and the king opens its territory, in addition to these three, it is said to be loyal, but foolish and loyal. ”

"The general is so dogmatic, isn't the book read in vain?"

Wei Lai's words landed, making the faces of everyone present change suddenly, there are countless rebels in ancient times, but Wei Lai is the only one who can make this anti-intention so grandiose public.

"Ridiculous!" Li Xiubai was furious when he heard this: "The way of the monarch and the minister is the way of heaven! How can you talk nonsense like this! As a Yan minister, you don't think about being loyal to the monarch and serving the country, and you are full of rebellious words, so rebellious......

"General!"

Wei Lai interrupted Li Xiubai's words at that time, and he said in a deep voice: "Since the general has read the book, he should know what has happened in Yanting over the years. ”

"My grandfather Jiang Huanshui, the lion in the north, sixty years is like a day, my Yanting is guarding Ningzhou, Qi and Guirong and even Da Chu are all sinking in front of my Sanxiao army!"

"I have a best friend named Ah Cheng, you may not know her, but her father must have heard of his name!

"Yan Ting Mangzhou fell to the hands of the ghost Rong for more than 60 years, the Marquis of Chu took the Guirong royal court with two swords, and recovered the Mangzhou, this is a great merit, I believe that any dynasty in the north is enough to tear the earth and seal the king, but in the end? Chu Hou was beheaded outside Tailin City, my friend was beaten into slavery, and the surname Chu can no longer be mentioned again!"

"Let's talk about my father, Wei Shou. ”

"Nameless people, I want to come from your hearts are not enough to worry about, just a scholar, to get the position of the governor of the border city, I dare not say that the hard work is high, but it can be regarded as conscientious, Yan Ting invited the evil god Ao Xiu, want to use Ningzhou luck, nourish the evil, my father does not want to be with it, so he invites the disaster of killing!"

"Wei Mouyan said that these are not complaints with you, but Yan Ting, it is not that I am disloyal in Ningzhou, but that Yan is forced to rebel!"

"Wei Lai's loyalty is the loyalty of the common people, the loyalty of the general, when he meets a wise monarch like Emperor Chu, it is naturally a good story for the ages of the monarch and the minister, but if the general was born in Yanting, the loyalty of the general is foolish loyalty!"

Wei Lai's words were loud, and everyone was silent.

Even Li Xiubai's face was ugly at that time, but he couldn't speak.

"Alright. But at this moment, Li Chengfeng, who was on the high platform, suddenly broke the silence.

He looked at Wei Lai with heavy eyes and said: "How about King Wei and Yan Ting, at that time, Yan Ting's family affairs, there was a way that it was difficult for Qing officials to decide family affairs, so General Li didn't have to worry about this matter." ”

After saying this, he paused, and then said: "By the way, just now King Wei said that he admired my family's phoenix, right?"

Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses, he hesitated a little at that moment, looked up at Li Chenghuang who was standing behind Li Chengfeng, the other party turned his head a little shyly, and did not dare to look at Wei Lai.

Wei Lai's heart sank, and he always felt guilty, so he responded at that time: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, her beauty is unparalleled, who can not admire a man in the world, Wei Lai is just one of thousands of admirers." ”

Li Chengfeng nodded, the expression on his face was calm, and he continued to ask: "I remember that you just mentioned the word "marriage", what do you mean?"

As Li Chengfeng's words came out, a slightly ambiguous atmosphere once again permeated the Daxiong Palace, which was full of gunpowder, and everyone once again focused on Wei Lai, and most of them couldn't help but be a little nervous, after all, this matter will change the pattern of the entire northern territory to a large extent.

Wei Lai is not an indecisive person, but this matter always makes him feel quite unfair to Li Chenghuang, coupled with Li Chengfeng's ambiguous attitude, Wei Lai faintly feels that Li Xiubai's appearance is very likely to be a drama arranged by Li Chengfeng.

But the matter has come to this, if it is repented, it will definitely attract the anger of Da Chu, Ningzhou is afraid of the life and souls, Wei Lai didn't have time to think about the gains and losses, his heart sank and said: "I really have this intention in the next." ”

When these words came out, Li Chenghuang, who had been watching Wei Lai nervously, suddenly turned red, and became more and more afraid to look at everyone in the audience, and when everyone in the audience saw that the eldest princess showed such a daughterly appearance, they knew that this matter was probably due to Lang You's concubine's intention, and it was a foregone conclusion, and they had different thoughts for a while.

But after Li Chengfeng heard this, the corners of his mouth rose.

He picked up the wine bottle in front of him, shook it gently, and muttered in his mouth: "When Huang'er talked to me about this, I was very curious about what kind of person His Royal Highness King Wei was, so I set up today's banquet, firstly, to thank King Wei for saving Huang'er's kindness, and secondly, to take a good look at His Royal Highness King Wei's personality." ”

"I can see it today, although I can't spy on the whole picture of King Wei, but I can be in this Daxiong Palace, I will be clever to my Great Chu God, and dare to propose marriage to me in front of so many people, it can be seen that King Wei dare not say anything else, but his courage must be outstanding. ”

"But ......"

Saying this, he paused slightly, leaned forward and squinted his eyes at Wei Lai, and asked with a smile.

"Has His Royal Highness King Wei thought about one thing?"

"Marry the eldest princess of my Da Chu......"

"Are you worthy?"
