Chapter 285: The Storm
If you don't shake the incense, it's chaotic, and there is no wind to fly.
The eyes are full of roses, and the pink and purple flowers are like a glow covering the wall.
Le Xi sat on the seat, slightly lowered his eyelids and looked at the palace wall not far away, feeling that the scenery above was much more comfortable than the scene of the banquet and the snake.
On this day, the emperor set up a dust-washing banquet for the Mongolian state, and because of the intention of the envoys, the emperor let the courtiers bring their families into the palace for the banquet.
The show girls of the right age are still in the palace, and the daughters of the ministers who have not been arranged for the time being have been arranged to perform at the banquet, so that if the envoys look at the picture, they will be crowned with a title and be close to the Mongolian country.
For the envoys who suddenly wanted to make peace, all the ministers were bitter in their hearts, for fear that their girls would be taken care of and sent to a barbarian country.
It is rumored that there is still a custom of brothers and wives in that country, if it is really a golden branch and jade leaf, he is afraid that the kingdom will respect it, if it is just a courtier, he is afraid that he will not be able to escape.
This is enough for the ministers to think twice about this seemingly beautiful harmony.
The sound of silk and bamboo was endless, and Le Xi's distraction became more and more intense, until Lu Yu on her side secretly pinched the back of her hand, and Le Xi came back to her senses and blinked mischievously.
"The performance is almost over, and I'll bear with it again."
The young man's deep voice sounded in his ears, and Lexi nodded slightly, no longer looking at the roses on the palace wall, and stared down at his hands folded on his knees. Lu Yu smiled slightly, and the big palm covering Rouyi turned into a clasp, clasped tightly with his little wife's ten fingers.
"Is the Mongolian ambassador still satisfied with my talent and appearance?"
It was at this time that the last show girl's performance ended, and the old emperor on the high platform asked with half-squinted eyes.
The emperor said this as a polite remark. If you have any ideas, you should be praised again and again.
When the Mongolian ambassador praised it, the emperor did not want to play Tai Chi anymore, he knew that a war in the northwest was waiting to be promoted. This harmony is probably also a temptation of Mongolia, and he asked again in a deep voice: "Then the ambassador has a good look, which show girl deserves a hundred years of good marriage with the prince of Mongolia?" ”
The Mongolian ambassador made a big salute, and the hearts of the courtiers jumped out of their mouths, for fear that the girl who was their own concubine would be chosen, and they all stared at the ambassador.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, all the beautiful women are excellent. It's just that the minister came here to serve the prince's order earlier, and the prince already has a favorite candidate. ”
The Mongolian ambassador was in an uproar when he said something. Even Lexi was aroused by curiosity and raised his head. Lu Yu's hand tightened Le Xi a few points at this time.
Sensing his change in mood, Le Xi turned his gaze to Lu Yu and saw that there was a dark color between his eyebrows. It's a big color.
This...... Le Xi suddenly felt uneasy. I don't understand the reason for Lu Yu's sudden surge of emotions.
"The person to whom the prince of our country belongs is the daughter of His Royal Highness King Gengyuan Qi, the lord of Jiarou!"
Wow......
If the words of the Mongolian ambassador were a small stone that fell into the lake, now this remark is a huge stone that stirs up the huge waves in the river, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have forgotten even the etiquette, and they gasped even when they were in an uproar.
"What a bold Mengguo, my Jiarou county lord is noble, your prince already has a princess, are you asking the daughter of Prince Gengyuan to be a concubine?!" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu rebuked angrily. Get up and bow to the emperor. "Your Majesty, I am afraid that this matter cannot be handled. They are Mengguo, this is definitely a humiliation for me Gengyuan! ”
The emperor had already sunk like water when he came to point out the candidates, and a pair of dragon eyes shone sharply, falling straight on the Mongolian ambassador like a blade. Le Xi also came to his senses, Lu Yu was afraid that he had guessed the candidate earlier, so he lost control of his emotions.
The King of Jin secretly colluded with the Mongolian State, and now the Mongolian State should lack a legitimate reason to go to war to cover it up, so the King of Jin made this poisonous plan again.
If the lord of Jiarou is sent to make peace, then he will definitely die on the road or in another country, and then Geng Yuan will wave his troops north. But this is passive, and Jiarou's identity is comparable to that of a princess.
The emperor is interested in King Qi, and she will be a serious princess in the future, how can she marry in another country as a concubine?!
This is clearly a humiliating affiliation, and the old emperor will never respond, so the next step, the king of Jin can strike first - please fight!!
In this way, he can start a war openly, and no matter what the outcome of the war is, this move will also give him a name of benevolence and righteousness! Brother insults brother, what a deep affection!
Le Xi's heart trembled when he thought about it, and he also felt that King Jin's fake benevolence and hypocrisy were disgusting. When she raised her eyes to look at Lu Yu again, he had already let go of her hand and stood up, and at the same time, King Jin also got up as Le Xi thought, and the two of them both said loudly.
"Your Majesty, Meng Guo is acting like this to provoke the power of my Gengyuan!"
When the prince of the dynasty and the young general who is now hot in the same voice, the ministers were also provoked to be arrogant, and they all stood up and seconded the proposal.
The face of the Mongolian ambassador suddenly became gloomy, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor Gengyuan, the crown prince of our country wants to treat Yu Jiarou as the wife of the county lord, how can I say that my country is humiliated and has lost the county lord of Jiarou!" ”
This kind of justification made Lu Yu, who knew that it was a cutscene, have a stronger and stronger look of ridicule in his eyes, and his tone is also mocking: "When the prince of Mengguo was thinking about the cousin of his son-in-law, did he ever recall how he failed miserably two years ago and was hit by this son?!" His subordinates are defeated, and he deserves it?! ”
"You!" The Mongolian ambassador was so excited that his face turned red and white, and he pointed at Lu Yu with a trembling finger, and he couldn't refute half a word. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still angry and bloody when he was humiliated in front of everyone.
The King of Jin had already stepped into the throne at this moment, knelt down towards the emperor, Lu Yu's eyes flashed, and he picked up the plate on the table and threw it directly on the head of the envoy. A scream from the Mongolian ambassador interrupted the Jin king's desire to fight.
All the ministers changed their faces, and their hearts were that the two countries would not be hurt if they went to war, and Lu Yu was even calmer on the battlefield for a long time, even if he did insult his cousin today, he shouldn't have lost his sense of proportion like this!
Lu Yu didn't seem to understand his hatred when he smashed someone, so he left the table on tiptoe and stepped on the shoulder of the Mongolian ambassador. Meng Guoda couldn't use his strength, and his leg bones were broken, and he lay on the ground and screamed at that time.
Only then did Lu Yu kneel and clench his fists, and said to the emperor under the somewhat incredulous gaze of King Jin: "The ministers ask for battle, if you don't kill the enemy who humiliates me Gengyuan, you will never return to the court!" ”
The young man's sonorous and firm voice roared like thunder. The blue sky that pierced through this deep palace shook the hearts of everyone present.
Le Xi looked at the young man in a purple robe, his eyes moist.
Knowing that this day would come. But the moment she heard him say that she wanted to fight, she still couldn't suppress her emotions. In my heart, I have pride in this heroic young man, and I also feel sad and uneasy that he will go to the battlefield and don't know when he will re-sew.
"Father's ......"
"I'm ready!"
King Jin secretly hated Lu Yu for being cunning, and didn't even let him say anything to divert everyone's attention, and when he was about to save some of the situation and invite his relatives to fight, the old emperor responded immediately with a faster step.
However, the emperor agreed to ask for war. The ministers were in an uproar again.
This is something that can be discussed between the two countries again, how can it be said that the fight will start?!
Once the war started, it cost people and money. Although the Mongolian Kingdom was defeated two years ago, I am afraid that it has recovered at this time, in case it is defeated!! This is no joke!
"Your Majesty, you still have to be cautious about the war between the two countries!"
One of the ministers came out to advise. Immediately, many ministers also seconded the proposal.
Old lady Li kicked over the table at this time. Pointing to the minister who knelt on the ground to admonish, he scolded: "People have directly deceived you in the face, you still have to be cautious, if the prince of Mengguo named and asked all the girls in your family, do you also want to give them away?" ”
Scolding, Mrs. Li laughed again, and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, since they are willing to turn hostility into jade silk, it is better to let the envoys of Mongolia give their prince a reply." How about exchanging the daughters of these ministers for the lord of Jiarou. They are so righteous, and the people of Gengyuan will be grateful! ”
As soon as Mrs. Li said this, it came out. The bodies of those admonishing ministers trembled, but they didn't dare to refute the old lady Li who suddenly jumped out, didn't show that they were unwilling to let the girl in the family go to kiss. They are unwilling, how can the king of Qi be willing to let his own daughter-in-law go to this kind of wolf and tiger land!
The ministers hated the old lady Li who made trouble, but they were like a dumb person who ate Coptis chinensis, so bitter that even tears were about to fall out, I was really afraid that the emperor would be relieved again and really think about it carefully!
King Qi, who has been watching this scene, has been like a person who has nothing to do since then, and he hasn't even moved his eyebrows, but Jia Rou got up at this time and moved lightly to the center of the field, and what is even more surprising is that the prince of Qi, who has been sitting in a wheelchair, also stood up.
Everyone seemed to have settled down, looking at the brother and sister who were both noble and Qinghua, kneeling down together, and said loudly: "Imperial grandfather, grandson, please fight, if you don't kill the enemy who humiliates me Gengyuan, you will never return to the court!" ”
It was not conducive to the prince of Qi, please fight!
As a delicate woman in the boudoir, the county lord of Jia Roushi asks for battle!
The courtiers were so stimulated by the scene in front of them that their brains were buzzing, and they didn't understand how the prince of Qi could suddenly move freely, and they didn't understand how Jia Rou, who usually didn't like the palace, could have such courage!
This must be them dreaming!!
King Jin, who was extremely unconvinced that what he was seeing in front of him was the truth, was also full of buzzing at this time, and he didn't understand what this dramatic scene was all about. Le Xi also blinked violently several times below, before he believed that the figure of the jade tree that had just walked in front of him was indeed the prince of Qi!
But the old emperor sitting on the high seat did not look surprised at all, his always calm face had a smile at this time, and his tone softened a little: "Ran'er, your brother is asking for battle, I have to think more about his foot injury, what are you doing here?!" ”
Hearing this, the county lord of Jiarou has always been indifferent with resolute eyebrows, and the heroic spirit between her eyebrows bursts out, and at this moment, she has the momentum of a man who does not lose at all: "Returning to the emperor's grandfather, who is a woman cannot conquer the battlefield, not to mention that the prince of Mengguo humiliated me Gengyuan Guowei so much, and humiliated his grandson so much, and his grandson did not let him pay the price!" ”
"Jiarou never loses to men, the emperor's grandfather can send someone to learn from Jiarou, and Jiarou's words can be fake!"
Jia Rou's voice was powerful, which shocked people, and everyone also came back to their senses This Qi Wang Shizi is very good, and this weak Jia Rou is also afraid of being a martial artist. Many people thought about secretly going to see the king of Qi.
The king of Qi still looked calm and breezy, as if it was not his children who asked for battle.
When the emperor heard that Jiarou flipped through the pleadings, he laughed. "Jiarou wants to be the first female general of Gengyuan? So, I'm right! But Jiarou, you have to fight with Vice Admiral Chen, if you can take a hundred moves from him, I will make you a deputy general! You go on the march with your brother! ”
Jia Rou didn't say a word, and Chen Haoxuan in the seat was only named and listed, and now his mood was not very good.
If Jiarou really received a hundred moves, there would be no place for him in this battle, which could be regarded as an opportunity for him to make meritorious contributions!
The Mongolian ambassador had fainted in pain, and the emperor was disgusted by the fact that he was dragged away and thrown out of the palace. The atmosphere between Jiarou and Chen Haoxuan, who were opponents in the field, was also tense.
Le Xi felt that she was a little dizzy, and these changes today really made her a little unacceptable, and the person who had always been like a fairy in her heart was actually hidden deeply. How much effort did this King Qi spend on cultivating the two brothers and sisters.
A few days ago, Jia Rou said that the prince of Qi Wang was unwell, and she was afraid that she was treating a leg disease, she looked forward at her with a look of admiration, and said that she was so comfortable, and I was afraid that it was because she couldn't do what she wanted? ! The last time the wolf attacked me at the banquet in the palace, she felt extremely guilty about her, because she was obviously capable but couldn't use it.
Jiarou, who is weak on the outside, actually has a heart as passionate as a man!
Le Xi was stunned to take care of all this, and the two on the field had already touched each other's fists and feet, and in the blink of an eye, more than 20 moves had passed.
The two figures, one slender and the other tall, are not equal. It's amazing to see.
"In order not to owe too much to my cousin, I had to pay off your debts and wronged you." After the two of them intersected their fists and arms again to get closer, the corner of Jiarou County's lips hooked, and he smiled and whispered.
Chen Haoxuan was stunned, and immediately understood what she meant!
The county lord of Jiarou is to stop himself from fighting, and at the same time, it is also to let the Qi Wangfu get more military power and establish more prestige for the Qi Wangfu!
"If you are not talented, there is no grievance, but I am afraid that the county lord will be disappointed!" Chen Haoxuan replied without losing momentum, and his move was even more powerful.
The sound of punches and feet breaking through the air on the field caused people to palpitate and dazzle people.
Fifty moves have passed, eighty moves have passed... But the two on the stage were evenly matched.
Chen Haoxuan's shock to Jiarou slowly turned into admiration, a girl's family tied with him, what kind of hard work should have been!! As a martial artist, how could he not know the difficulties of martial arts!
"Stop! Not going to throw in the towel! At the ninety-fifth move, Chen Haoxuan suddenly stopped and admitted defeat loudly.
Those five tricks are meaningless!
The emperor's laughter resounded in the audience in an instant, and he immediately moved his will, Lu Yu as the main general, the prince of Qi and the county lord of Jiarou as the deputy generals, and the whole army went north in three days!!
The ministers did not even rush to persuade each other, and the matter was settled.
Le Xi was still a little relieved and was led out of the palace by Lu Yu, and when he met Jiarou and the prince of Qi on the road, Lu Yu hugged his fists and thanked Jiarou, Jiarou just smiled and said that if there was no opportunity for him. Neither could she.
Le Xi, who was about to straighten things out, was blinded again in the dumbness of the two, and when he asked Lu Yu at night, he would not say that he was a rival in love. Drawing all of Lexi's mind to it, when Lexi woke up from his distraction, someone had closed his eyes and gone to bed...... (To be continued......)
