Chapter 767: Promise

Duan Shao turned around and said, "Huo Cong, worship the Lord!" ”

The attendant who was holding the gift box in his hand took a few steps forward, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Huo Cong, the iron guard of the East Palace, meet the Lord!" ”

"Donggong Iron Guard?" Long Tai smiled: "You are the prince's guard?" When I was in the Eastern Qi Dynasty, I went to your Qi country, and I heard that the prince had eight guards in the East Palace, and you must be one of them. ”

Qi Ning thought to himself that this East Palace Iron Guard was the first time he heard it, he went to East Qi a while ago, and encountered King Taishan making trouble, at that time, Duan Shao was followed by a group of guards, but he didn't hear the title of the East Palace Eight Guards.

But since Long Tai said this, this East Palace Eight Guards is naturally not an ordinary person, just listen to the name and know that it is a powerful character around Duan Shao, this East Palace Eight Guards should be hidden in the guards that day, but there were many soldiers and horses that time, whether Huo Cong was present that day, Qi Ning also had no memory.

Duan Shao said: "Enlightening the saint, Huo Cong is one of the eight guards. Huo Cong grew up by the sea, but he practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he was very brave, and it was when he learned that he entered the sea to kill sharks, so he was admitted to the East Palace. ”

Huo Cong's appearance is not amazing, his skin is a bronze unique to seaside residents, but it can be seen that the muscles on his body are abnormally strong, and there seems to be no excess fat, looking like a cheetah ready to go, exuding a strong sense of strength all over his body.

"Sure enough, it's a warrior." Long Tai smiled: "Duan Xuan, come and don't be rude, I have received a congratulatory gift from your Qi country, what reward do you want?" ”

Duan Shao said respectfully: "Back to the Lord, Duan Shao is here for the alliance between the two countries, and he doesn't dare to accept the reward. ”

King Huainan said with a smile: "Prince, you escorted Princess Tianxiang to Chu State smoothly, and you have worked hard, since the emperor has spoken, you don't need to be polite." ”

"This .....!" Duan Shao hesitated for a moment before arching his hand and saying, "Lord, if you say that Duan Shao wants any reward, you really think of one." The imperial sister married the Chu State far away, it is for the alliance between the two countries, and Duan Shao has not yet set up a crown princess, if the lord favors and gives me a marriage, so that I have a crown princess in Dongqi, Duan Shao and the Qi country must be grateful. ”

Qi Ning was silent on the side, this scene was expected by him, and his mood naturally did not move in the slightest, but there were very few people in the Manchu Dynasty who knew about this matter in advance, and as soon as Duan Shao's words came out, many people showed surprise.

Qi Ning glanced at Ximen without a trace, only to see Ximen standing without a trace, his expression calm, without the slightest change.

"You let me give you a marriage?" Long Tai said with a smile: "Duan Shao, is this a request made by the monarch of your country?" ”

Duan Shao said respectfully: "Returning to the Holy Lord, asking for marriage to your country is a decision made by Duan Shao after consultation with his father, the purpose is to make the two countries close to each other and have a good alliance for generations. Moreover, Duan Shao has already asked his father for a holy decree, as long as the Lord gives him marriage and returns to Daqi, he will immediately canonize him as the crown princess, so as to declare to the people of the world that my Daqi and Chu are sincere friends. ”

Duan Shao's request for marriage in the court was something that many ministers did not expect, and at this time, the ministers whispered, and Qi Ning faintly heard that the ministers seemed to be very concerned about this family matter.

At that time, the Chu State and the Northern Han Dynasty stood side by side, and it was difficult to distinguish between them, and they both tried their best to win over the Eastern Qi to become their allies, and because of this, both the Northern Han and the Chu State showed goodwill to the Eastern Qi many times, and the Eastern Qi was in the Han and Chu, neither allied with any country, but did not offend any country.

And both countries are also worried that once they release hostility towards Dongqi, they are likely to push Dongqi to the enemy, so for many years, both countries have also acquiesced to the existence of Dongqi, and Dongqi has also used this as a bargaining chip to preserve it between Chu and Han to this day.

Now the State of Qi has agreed to the request of the State of Chu, and the crown prince himself led the delegation to come, which also shows that since then, the situation in the world will undergo great changes, and this change is undoubtedly the most beneficial to the State of Chu, so the government and the opposition are all overjoyed by the arrival of the delegation of the State of Qi.

Today, Duan Shao asked the state of Chu to marry, although it was a surprise to the courtiers of the state of Chu, but all the ministers knew in their hearts that this was of course a great good thing for the relationship between the two countries, and the two family affairs would definitely further strengthen the relationship between Qi and Chu.

Longtai bowed his head slightly, and said: "Qi Guo courted relatives, for the permanent friendship of the two countries, this is naturally deeply meaningful." It's just that my Da Chu royal family doesn't have a princess suitable for marriage now, and your country must be clear. ”

Duan Shao said with a smile: "Lord, Duan Shao also knows a little about this, so he didn't think about asking for the royal princess." ”

"Oh?" Long Tai said with a smile: "Could it be that your country has married someone else?" Speaking of this, he glanced at Qi Ning and saw Qi Ning standing among the ministers, calm and calm, and seemed to be confident.

Duan Shao said: "Returning to the saint, Duan Shao has loved horseback archery since he was a child, and he loves the style of marching, so before this trip, he asked his father for his will, and if he finds a girl he likes in Chu State, he can ask the lord for marriage." ”

"So, you already have a girl you like?"

Duan Shao's body was straight, graceful, elegant and noble, and he nodded: "After Duan Shao came to Jianye Kyoto, he has indeed found the object of his choice. ”

"I don't know who it is?"

Duan Shao took a step forward and bowed deeply to Longtai again, "Duan Shao begs the Lord to marry the daughter of Ximen Shenhou in my Qi country!" ”

Although Qi Ning already knew Duan Shao's goal, when he heard him say it in the middle of the court at this time, his brows were still slightly locked, and he looked at Ximen Wuxi, who was like a soul wandering out of the world from beginning to end, and his expression did not change in the slightest.

However, the other ministers in the palace all had different expressions, and one of them was even more surprised, and many people quickly turned their eyes to Ximen Wuxi.

"The daughter of the Divine Marquis?" Long Tai looked at Ximen without a trace and asked, "Duan Shao, do you want me to marry the daughter of the Divine Marquis?" ”

"May the Lord do it." Duan Shao gave up again.

At this time, many people secretly thought in their hearts, since the prince of Eastern Qi begged for marriage in the palace, he was afraid that even the emperor would not be able to refuse, in this situation, Mo said that it was the daughter of Ximen Wuxi, even if Duan Shao asked to marry the young lady of the four hereditary candidates, it was not easy for Chu State to refuse.

Qi sent Princess Tianxiang, which has already shown their sincerity to the alliance between the two countries, if Qi asks for relatives and Chu does not allow it, it will inevitably make Chu have a ruthless reputation, and it will also directly affect the relationship between the two countries, so the ministers only think that since Duan Shao has opened his mouth, there is still no room for maneuver in this family matter.

Longtai thought for a while, then looked at Ximen Wuxian and asked, "Ximen Aiqing, has Ling Yan reached the age of marriage?" ”

Longtai knew Ximen Zhan Ying's age, and he was ready to marry Ximen Zhan Ying to Qi Ning, but at this time, he asked like this, Qi Ning knew that Longtai was giving a chance to turn around.

Simon Wuxian finally walked out of the ranks of ministers at this time, bowed down and said: "Back to the saint, the courtiers are nineteen years old, and they have reached the age of leaving the cabinet. After a pause, he said: "It's just that the prince's status is noble, and the ministers and daughters can't match the prince, and they don't have the qualifications to become the princess of Qi State." ”

Duan Shao had already smiled and said, "Ximen Shenhou, Duan Shao is indeed a little reckless when he asks for a kiss." It's just that for the sake of the eternal alliance between the two countries, Duan Shao can only dare to beg the Lord for marriage. Privately, Duan Shao already knows a little about Ling Yan, Ling Yan has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, she is heroic, and she is trained by Shen Hou, Duan Shao thinks that Ling Yan is the most suitable person for my Dongqi princess, and please also ask Shen Hou to cut love! ”

Ximen Wuxian bowed his hand to Duan Shao slightly, his tone was not shocked, and he arched his hand slightly: "Your Highness is serious." Turning to Longtai, he said respectfully: "Qiqi Sheng, since His Royal Highness has taken a fancy to the courtier, this is also the honor of the minister." For the sake of the alliance between the two countries, if the Holy Lord decrees marriage, the ministers should obey it! ”

The corners of Qi Ning's eyebrows jumped slightly, thinking that this old guy's path didn't seem to be quite right, how did Ximen Zhanying persuade him to go back last night?

Long Tai glanced at Qi Ning, and when he saw that Qi Ning was about to move, he groaned slightly, and then said: "Duan Shao, since Ximen Aiqing is ......!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Without waiting for Longtai to finish speaking, Ximen Wuxian stepped forward and said respectfully: "The minister still has something to do, I don't know whether to talk about it or not!" ”

Long Tai said with a smile: "I am about to get married, today the prince of Qi is courting marriage, this is a happy thing, if Ximen Aiqing has something, but it doesn't hurt." ”

"Your Majesty, when Zhan Sakura was a child, her mother passed away, and it was the ministers who raised her as an adult." Simon Wuxian sighed: "Because of this, the minister neglected to favor her, and also developed her rather brutal temperament. The prince begged for marriage, and the minister naturally acted according to the order, but the minister was worried that Zhan Sakura's temperament was ......! ”

Duan Shao immediately said: "Rest assured, if Ling Yan becomes the crown princess of Qi State, I will protect her well and will not let her be wronged in Qi State." ”

Ximen Wuxian arched his hand to Duan Shao and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." After a pause, he sighed: "Your Highness, with your care, even if Zhan Ying marries Dongqi, I won't worry." It's just that...... I had an agreement with Zhan Sakura back then, and I only thought it was the kid's joke, but then every time I talked about his family, the kid would mention the agreement of the year, and I knew he was serious. ”

Qi Ning's expression was originally a little solemn, and when he heard Ximen Wuxian say this, his expression stretched slightly.

"Ximen Aiqing, what is your agreement?" Longtai seemed to be very interested, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Simon without a trace condescendingly.

Ximen said without a trace: "Your Highness, Your Highness's courtship, this is a major event between the two countries, but you don't have to take into account personal matters, don't talk about the agreement of the year." As long as the saint has made a will, the minister must obey the will and send the station to Dongqi. ”

"Ximen Aiqing, you are an old minister of the two dynasties." Long Tai said earnestly: "If you have any difficulties, even if you say it, the prince of Qi wants to marry your daughter, and he naturally likes it, and the prince doesn't want to see her marry Qi with grievances." ”

Duan Xuan immediately said: "What the Lord said is extremely true. Xiang Ximen said without a trace: "Shenhou, if there is anything difficult, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Actually, it's not that difficult." Ximen Wuxian sighed with emotion: "Zhan Ying began to teach her martial arts since she was three years old, and although her martial arts are mediocre so far, she can also do some kung fu. It's just that the child doesn't know the height of the sky, and in the eyes of famous masters, her martial arts are really not worth mentioning, but she thinks that her martial arts are ......! Sighing and shaking his head, all the ministers present couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.
