Chapter 159: What is a barbarian?
I would like to ask His Royal Highness King Wei to come and say it in person......"
"It's better. β
As Li Chengfeng's voice fell, everyone present once again focused their attention on Wei Lai.
Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, looked up, and met the gentle gaze of the Chu Emperor.
Since entering this Daxiong Palace, whether it is the first seat or the attitude that Li Chengfeng has mentioned many times, it has undoubtedly shown the degree of satisfaction that this Chu Emperor has with Wei Lai.
And what his so-called great joy is, Wei Lai naturally knows it.
In his mind, he unconsciously recalled the dream of yesterday, that girl, calling him husband, the face that had been blurred in his dream, it gradually became clear at this time, and it coincided with the face of the girl he had just seen.
Wei Lai couldn't be sure if all this was his own imagination, or if the girl really had something to do with something Wei Lai had forgotten, or if the name Xu Yue had ever had.
But what Wei Lai couldn't deny was that when he saw the girl, his heart was shaken, and what he had already made up his mind to do was hesitant at that time.
If Wei Lai just felt that he owed Li Chenghuang in his heart about marrying Li Chenghuang before, at this moment, he had more hesitation about this matter, and he couldn't say why, as if he really failed anyone once he did this.
Such thoughts surged in Wei Lai's chest, and for a while he didn't know how to respond to the emperor's question.
"King Wei?" And just as Wei Lai was thinking about this, Li Chengfeng's voice sounded again.
Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, but came back to his senses, but saw Li Chengfeng looking down at him, with a smile in the corner of his eyes.
And Li Chenghuang, who was standing beside him, was even more red, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Wei Lai.
Wei Lai's heart was stunned, he knew that if he rashly repented at this time, the friendship between Ningzhou and Da Chu would be shattered, and even judging from the degree of Li Chengfeng's love for Li Chenghuang, Bao Qi would also bring war disasters to Ningzhou.
Wei Lai was by no means a person who liked to climb dragons and attach phoenixes, but Jiang Huanshui put Ningzhou in his hands.
He has to be worthy of his grandfather, and he has to be worthy of the people of Ningzhou who trust him.
Thinking of this, Wei Lai suppressed the strangeness in his heart, he glanced sideways at the girl in white again, and then turned his head to look at Li Chengfeng and said.
"Your Majesty. β
"When Wei Lai first saw Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, he was amazed by her celestial appearance, thinking about it day and night, not forgetting, and then intersecting with her, and even more sighed that the eldest princess was kind-hearted......"
"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess from Wei is noble, and if you are not Wei Lai, you can ...... it"
Wei Lai said this, and the faces of everyone who heard these words changed, and everyone present also understood what Emperor Chu's so-called great good deeds meant.
But understanding is understanding, but the horror in my heart rises suddenly, almost to the point where it is difficult to hide.
Emperor Chu's love for the eldest princess is a well-known thing in the north, and being the husband of the eldest princess is equivalent to sitting half of the emperor of Great Chu.
Counting the northern realm, I don't know how many geniuses and demons of famous families are looking forward to marrying Li Chenghuang, but Li Chenghuang's identity is noble, and his vision is also very proud, even if he clears out the power of injecting into the Tianque realm to be a matchmaker several times, he has not said anything about Li Chenghuang, the marriage of this eldest princess has always been a mystery to all parties in the north, but today's mystery seems to be revealed in front of everyone in such a way, how can everyone not be surprised?
Behind this is not only a great opportunity that everyone covets
Paying others means that the situation in the north will change dramatically. From this moment on, Ningzhou will become one of the most powerful forces in the north except for Da Chu, and it is even possible to establish a dynasty and become a dynasty in the north.
Among those present, envoys such as the Ghost Rong, Qi State, and even the Heavenly Que Realm were all secretly estimating at that time that they needed to change their attitude towards Ningzhou in the future. After all, judging from the attitude of Emperor Chu before, he obviously had a promising attitude towards this matter, and the so-called letting Wei Lai mention it himself was nothing more than a passing scene.
And just when everyone had different thoughts, they all thought that this matter was finished.
"Since King Wei knows that his status is humble, then don't keep this non-trivial thought!" A voice suddenly sounded, and a young man in armor suddenly got up from the seat in front of him and stepped out.
Everyone was stunned and looked sideways, but saw that this person was Li Xiubai, the Great Chu God General.
It must be known that the territory of Great Chu is vast, almost comparable to the sum of the territories of the other eight countries except for Great Chu, and such a vast land naturally needs enough soldiers and generals to defend it.
In order to show fairness, the military attache system of Da Chu is slightly different from that of other countries.
The promotion of military attaches needs to be based on military merits, and only after achieving enough rich results can military attachΓ©s rise all the way, and in this regard, Da Chu has done a good job of treating everyone equally.
Divine generals, as the military attache of Great Chu, in addition to the commander of the army and General Ma Tiance, is the limit of the official system that the military attache of Great Chu can reach, and then the next step is to be crowned as the king, and as far as the current situation of Great Chu is concerned, the number of divine generals is only nine.
And Li Xiubai is the youngest and most prestigious among them.
He was born in the royal family, his family was in the middle, and he lived a poor life when he was young, but after joining the army, he relied on his extraordinary talent and quick thinking, and he was able to rise all the way, and he was only twenty-seven years old, and he sat in the position of this god general. Counting him, he should be the youngest god general in the entire Great Chu Kingdom.
And Li Xiubai's admiration for the eldest princess is a well-known thing in Da Chu, at this moment he ridiculed Wei Lai, and a clear-eyed person naturally understood what he wanted to do.
But this does not mean that they are optimistic about Li Xiubai.
Although Li Xiubai's story is full of legends, and he is a first-class choice in terms of heart and talent, but earlier, Li Xiubai took advantage of Emperor Chu to meet him and raised this matter, but he gave up after Emperor Chu asked Li Chenghuang, which shows that in the eldest princess's family affairs, Emperor Chu doesn't care about any right person or any genius and demon, but simply follows Li Chenghuang's meaning.
Looking at Li Chenghuang's slightly shy attitude, it is obvious that he has already belonged to Wei Lai, and at this time, Liu Xiubai may only attract the dissatisfaction of Emperor Chu.
Thinking like this in their hearts, everyone looked sideways at Emperor Chu on the high platform.
But to their surprise, Emperor Chu squinted at everything that was happening in the main hall at this moment, and did not mean to stop it at all.
Wei Lai's brows also furrowed at that time, he looked sideways at Li Xiubai, and asked, "What does this general mean?"
Li Xiubai's head was high, and he said very arrogantly: "Ningzhou is a barbarian land, although Your Excellency is the king of Ningzhou Wei, but he is only the king of barbarians, in the final analysis, he is still a barbarian." β
"There is a folk saying since ancient times that tiger girls do not marry dogs. β
"I, the eldest princess of Da Chu, how noble my identity is, I am the queen of the true dragon. And what about your Excellency? β
"How can dragon jackals be compatible? If His Royal Highness King Wei has some self-knowledge, then he should go back to his house and stop humiliating himself!"
Li Xiubai's words can be described as extremely explicit and do not stay
There was a little emotion, and everyone present who heard this changed their faces, and their hearts were full of strangeness.
Wei Lai's brows also wrinkled a little deeper at that time, he didn't know the identity of the other party, but looking at the other party's clothing and bearing, he thought that his status in this Great Chu should not be low, and the other party dared to say such a thing above the court, it was not only him Wei Lai, but also Emperor Chu.
After all, in the words of Emperor Chu, he was a guest of the Chu State.
No matter how angry the other party is, if he has a little brain, he should not say such a thing on such an occasion.
Thinking of this, Wei Lai looked sideways at Li Chengfeng on the high platform.
But he saw that this Chu Emperor was also squinting at him, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and there was a cold light shining in his narrow eyes.
Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly came to his senses.
Because of seeing that girl before, Wei Lai didn't have time to think about it - Li Chenghuang is the eldest princess of Da Chu with a noble status, and Wei Lai no matter how miraculous the outside world is, for a behemoth like Da Chu, the power of a person or a Ningzhou seems so weak, as long as they are willing, they can crush Wei Lai and Ningzhou into pieces at any time, for such a person, Li Chengfeng loves his sister no matter how much he loves his sister, and he will never agree so easily.
There is a way that when things go wrong, there must be demons, so it seems that this matter is far more complicated than Wei Lai imagined.
Thinking of this, Wei Lai also put away his hesitation, his face sank, he looked at Li Xiubai and said: "The general keeps saying that my Ningzhou is a barbarian land, and below is the king of barbarians, so dare to ask the general, what is barbarian and what is orthodox?"
"Ru Mao drinks blood as a barbarian, and if he doesn't understand religion, your Excellency doesn't understand this, and it's no wonder that the people under his rule are not living and starving all over the wilderness!" Li Xiubai said loudly.
"Really?" Wei Lai's eyes narrowed at that moment.
"Your Excellency has never been to Ningzhou, how do you know that my Ningzhou is drinking blood in Rumao?
"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, sitting on the platform, why doesn't the general ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, the Ningzhou in the general's mouth and the Ningzhou under my rule are the same boundary?" Wei Lai said, but he didn't give Li Xiubai the slightest chance to refute, and continued.
"Of course, I know, the general will not ask. β
"Because the general is willing to believe what the general wants to believe, even if the eldest princess tells you, you will think that Wei Lai is whitewashing the peace and deliberately doing it for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. β
"The general just said that Ru Mao drinks blood and is not educated, so my Ningzhou is a barbarian land. β
"But does the general know what indoctrination is?"
"Edification is not an empty talk for those who know words and sentences, and can say a few words. β
"Nor is it arrogance that thinks that he is high above and that all things are condescending. β
"Edification is etiquette, etiquette, compassion for the world, and the bearing of education!"
This is what the sage said. β
"The general was born in Dachu, with fine clothes and jade food, he has never seen Ningzhou, and he only listens to the whispers of others, so he says that my Ningzhou is just a place where Ru Mao drinks blood, which is unknown. β
"The eldest princess was assassinated, my Ningzhou soldiers protected each other with their lives, in order to capture the culprit, there are countless in the world, where was the general at that time? The lord was assassinated, and the minister was not there, this is called disloyalty?"
"Your Majesty regards me as a guest, I admire the eldest princess, whether Your Majesty agrees to this matter or not, my proposal is also a courtesy move, and the general's temple insults me, which is neither rude nor benevolent. β
"Let me ask the general like this, disloyal and unrighteous people, what kind of shame do you have to judge me Ningzhou right and wrong!?"
