Chapter 205: The Dispute Between the Southern Courtyard and the Northern Courtyard

It was a well-designed conspiracy, but because of the rush of time and unpopularity, coupled with the Ming Zhi of Yu Shilong and Bai Ma Yicong before their deaths, Empress Dowager Xiao lost everything, and only a face of vicissitudes remained. Because in the stands of the school field, Li Changchuan ordered Xiao Wangsun, the king and prime minister of the Southern Courtyard, and Li Honglie, the king and prime minister of the Northern Courtyard, to handle the wedding of Princess Anle together, so Ji Qingchen did not need to worry about this regard. However, Ji Qingchen used 3,500 people to destroy 5,000 people on the school field, which touched the ministers of the country a lot, he knew that the ministers of the country would not let go of themselves, if it weren't for Yu Shilong and the nineteen soldiers of the White Horse Yicong to die at the last moment, it is estimated that Li Changchuan's face would be thrown out of Xiang. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was better to keep a low profile during this time, so he strictly ordered the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion to stay in the camp, and he himself lived in the pavilion all day without going out, quietly waiting for Xiao Wangsun and Li Honglie to give Princess Anle Shu'er a dowry.

It's just that such a peaceful day was shattered when he was about to leave Shangjing.

On this day, he received the will of the departing emperor Li Changchuan, saying that he would hold a banquet for him in Changle Palace in the evening. This was Li Changchuan's kindness, and he wanted to send a banquet to Shu'er, so Ji Qingchen agreed without thinking about it.

But when he arrived at Changle Palace, halfway through the banquet, the atmosphere of the banquet changed.

Because at this time, at the end of a dance, a military general got up, walked to the center of the main hall, and said drunkly, "Your Majesty, when I was in Xijing City, I heard that the King of Northern Liao used 3,500 guards to annihilate 5,000 white horse righteous servants, is there such a thing?" โ€

Li Changchuan, who was on the throne, was chatting with Ji Qingchen about the diplomatic relations between Dayan and Liguo, when he heard this harsh voice echoing in the hall, he raised his eyes and found that the person who spoke was his cousin Li Changfang, so he held back his dissatisfaction, and said with a pleasant face, "Cousin, there is such a thing, but it has already passed, today we are practicing for Shu'er, or not mention this matter!" โ€

Li Changchuan said this, firstly, because he didn't want to bring up the old matter again, and aroused the ministers in the hall to be angry with Ji Qingchen, so as not to make it difficult for Ji Qingchen to get out of Ningwu Pass safely when he left the capital, and secondly, this matter lost the dignity of leaving the country after all, because his own side of the 5,000 elite cavalry was completely annihilated by 3,500 elite cavalry, not to mention the idea of the Empress Dowager Xiao, he was also disgraced as the king of the country!

"Your Majesty, what are these words?" Li Changfang said unhappily, "Defeat is defeat, and there is nothing to say." However, I'm curious about how 3,500 people wiped out 5,000 white horse righteous servants? Could it be that the white horse Yicong, who is praised by you as the No. 1 tiger and leopard rider in foreign combat power, is so unbearable? Is it the scum who fought less than five? โ€

When he said this, it immediately made the group in the hall dull and dull!

Because the white horse Yicong is an elite horse personally supervised and trained by Xiao Wangsun, and it is an elite force in the hands of the Empress Dowager Xiao, and now Li Changfang says that the white horse Yicong is naked to slap Xiao Wangsun and Xiao Wangsun in the face, and with the current power of the Empress Dowager Xiao and Xiao Wangsun, how can the ministers dare to echo the Li Changfang?

"King Xiliang, you're drunk, let's go down and rest for a while!" Xiao Wangsun got up and said, his tone was still kind. Even if he is the king of the Southern Courtyard, the same title as Li Changfang, and the position is the prime minister of the country, which is much older than the general of Li Changfang Shangjing, but after all, Li Changfang is a son of the royal family of the clan, and he is also a hereditary prince, he is just a king of the Southern Courtyard who is only named according to the convention, and he can't help but give Li Changfang a face.

However, Li Changfang looked down on the king of the Southern Courtyard in front of him, who had risen to the position of the prime minister of the country with the relationship of his sister, and when he saw that Xiao Wangsun had spoken, he sneered loudly, "Am I drunk? I'm just drunk, but the bird is always straight and hard, unlike you who have lived in the capital for a long time, are used to eating white noodles, are used to drinking rice wine, are used to sleeping in the palace, and sleep soft on the bones, so that people use 3,500 people to annihilate you who claim to be the second elite white horse in the world. Hmph, do you still dare to have the face to say I'm drunk? โ€

"Bastard, Changfang, how do you speak, Changle Palace here, His Majesty here, and I, the Queen Mother, you have to pay attention to proportion." Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't help it, so she scolded her.

"Queen Mother, I heard that you came up with this idea? Isn't it? Li Changfang not only did not restrain his arrogance, but also looked directly at the Empress Dowager Xiao and asked in a cold tone.

"What's wrong with mourning the family? Could it be that we just watched the king of Northern Liao marry our princess? Empress Dowager Xiao was very aware of Li Changfang's influence in Xijing, and she was also more jealous of Li Changfang, so she did not continue to fight hard, but shifted the topic to Ji Qingchen, "Not to mention that the king of Northern Liao grew up with Shu'er's childhood sweetheart, if he wants to marry Shu'er, he needs to show real strength." Is it wrong for the mourners to do this? โ€

No matter what many faults the Empress Dowager Xiao has, such as the eyes must be reported, like the small belly chicken intestines, etc., some of them are still worthy of everyone's respect, that is, they have responsibility and dare to shoulder responsibility. Just like Li Changfang's blunt inquiry just now, if it were someone else, it might put the blame on Xiao Qianyuan, but Empress Dowager Xiao didn't do this, and readily admitted that it was her own idea.

"I don't blame the Queen Mother for doing anything wrong, I think the Queen Mother shouldn't hand over such a heavy task to Bai Ma Yicong, this unworthy cavalry, and we should be tested by our Xijing Guard." Li Changfang said loudly, "However, it's not too late now, the king of Northern Liao has not left the capital yet, and I happened to bring three hundred elite horsemen back to Beijing, just so that they can have a discussion with the four hundred guards around the king of Northern Liao, and I hope that the king of Northern Liao will not refuse!" โ€

Li Changfang said a lot of nonsense just now, but in fact, his real purpose was here, he wanted to compete with Ji Qingchen's guards again.

As soon as he said this, he was echoed and approved by the ministers in Changle Palace. Everyone made it clear that they couldn't bear the insults left by Ji Qingchen on the school field!

"King Xiliang, your request will not be answered by this king." Ji Qingchen directly refused, he knew very well that someone had designed Li Changfang to challenge the only four hundred guards left around him with three hundred cavalry, wanting to further weaken the defense power around him, and prepare to give himself a fatal blow when he left the capital!

"What? Is the king of Northern Liao looking down on me? Li Changfang said unhappily, his voice raised by one degree, and continued to say to Ji Qingchen, "Or does the king of Northern Liao look down on us leaving the country?" โ€

"It's not that this king looks down on anyone, it's that this king has already won the white horse Yicong, and he has lost more than 3,000 fine horses, so he really doesn't have the strength to compete with the fine horses of King Xiliang!" Ji Qingchen said with a pleasant face.

"Ha Luha-" Li Changfang Da Lu said with a smile, "It's not that the King of Northern Liao has no strength, does he dare?" You Dayan people are all like this, just a group of cheap bones who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard. โ€

He said this very loudly, and his words were full of sarcasm, and the purpose was very clear, which was to provoke Ji Qingchen.

"Shut upโ€”"

"Presumptuousโ€”"

Li Honglie and Li Changchuan shouted at the same time.

As the king of the North Courtyard, Li Changfang is Li Honglie's subordinate, and he openly provoked Ji Qingchen and insulted Dayan at the banquet today, which is Li Honglie's lack of strictness. As His Majesty the Yellow Emperor, his courtiers openly provoked the Prince of Dayan at the banquet and insulted the people of Dayan, which was rude.

"Your Majesty, am I not right? Are you just going to watch the scum of 5,000 with less than 5,000 combat strength disgrace us leaving the country? Li Changfang roared, his words suddenly ignited the anger of the ministers in the main hall, and everyone talked about it together, the goal was the same, that is, to let Li Changfang's three hundred elite cavalry compete with Ji Qingchen's four hundred cavalry battalion.

Quietly stared at the faces of the ministers who left the country at the banquet, and then moved his gaze to the Empress Dowager Xiao, seeing that the old woman was looking at herself, and when her eyes touched her gaze, the old woman showed a gloomy smile on her face, that is, no matter how stupid Ji Qingchen was, he also knew that this was a plan set by the Empress Dowager Xiao for herself. However, there were only 400 people left around him, and if he fought with the 300 elite horsemen of Li Changfang, the rest would not be enough to guard the safety between him and Princess Anle.

Therefore, even if he argues with reason, he will not agree to Li Changfang's proposal.

However, seeing the angry appearance of the ministers at the banquet, he knew that his refusal to agree would definitely cause a greater backlash from the ministers who left the country, and after thinking about it, he made a decision in his heart.

"The guards around this king have no strength to fight, but this king has not moved his muscles and bones when he arrives in Shangjing, and his body is about to decay, if King Xiliang doesn't mind, he can send a few who are not afraid of death to have a fight with this king, what does King Xiliang think?" Ji Qingchen said coldly, the murderous aura on his body suddenly forced Li Changfang, and the murderous aura that he had been tempered for a year was released at once, but it forced Li Changfang's body to shudder, and his eyes no longer dared to look at Ji Qingchen.

"Isn't King Xiliang unwilling?" Ji Qingchen sneered, "If you still have backbone, if you are still a man, if you still have a bird in your crotch, this king will wait for you and your subordinates in the school field tomorrow, but this king tells you that there are still you, this time the last time you provoke this king, there will be no next time." โ€

With that, he bowed slightly to Li Changchuan and strode out of the banquet in Changle Palace, leaving behind the shocked ministers who left the country and Li Changfang who was scared out of Xiang.

The protagonist Ji Qingchen left, and the atmosphere of the banquet was diluted a lot because of what he said just now, and the ministers naturally had no interest in drinking anymore, so they immediately said goodbye to Li Changchuan and withdrew from Changle Palace in turn.

In this way, the banquet practiced by Li Changchuan for Princess Anle came to an end with the coercion of Li Changfang and Ji Qingchen's invitation! And what will continue will be the duel between Ji Qingchen and the soldiers who left the country!
