"Then spread the will of the orphan, and promoted Mingchen to be a four-rank loyal general, and led the third-grade Yulu; Canonized the lord of Zecheng as a princess, enjoyed a thousand households of food, and after the end of the war, he married the loyal general Ming Chenyuan. ”

"Wechen...... Thank you for your grace. Ming Chenyuan was stunned for a moment, and finally bowed to King Yan in front of him.

"Your brother married Gu's eldest daughter, and Gu can't treat you badly." King Yan deliberately teased and said with a smile: "The Ming family has two horses, and Lone is worthy of Mingxiang." ”

"The king's favor for the Ming family is the blessing of the Ming family." Ming Chenyuan kowtowed heavily and thanked him.

King Yan said "um" and said euphemistically: "You have been in the dust all the way, go back and rest first, and the excerpt will take a closer look." After that, he looked at the prince again, and then ordered: "You go and spread the will of Gu!" The Marquis stayed. ”

"Erchen (Weichen) retires." The crown prince and Ming Chenyuan bid farewell to King Yan together, and hurriedly withdrew from the main hall of Longqian Palace.

Only Nie Xingji was left to sit alone in the hall, waiting to be revealed.

But King Yan stopped talking, paced back and forth under the Danqi, and after a while, he suddenly asked: "Ming Chenyuan asked to marry Qingcheng, but you instructed him?" ”

Nie Xingji didn't want to hide it, and he knew that he couldn't hide it, so he replied truthfully: "It's what Erchen meant." ”

"Are you afraid that she will marry someone else?"

"Erchen just took pity on Wang Mei, afraid that you would expel her from the palace." Nie Xingji lowered his eyes and explained: "After all, it was Erchen who recommended her to be with her relatives back then; The main battle is also the meaning of the son...... Even if her son made her lonely and widowed, she wanted to arrange a good family affair for her. ”

"When did you become compassionate? It's like Yi'er's style. King Yan seemed to be smiling.

"Brother Wang is the prince of a country, and his sons dare not compare." Nie Xingji replied in a closed voice.

King Yan was silent again, and after a while, he suddenly asked him: "Lone remembers that when Qingcheng's life story was revealed, it coincided with Yan Chu's friendship. Are you trying your best to fight the main battle, and you are taking the initiative to ask for help? ”

"Yes......" Nie Xingji didn't know what King Yan meant.

"You just wanted to take Qingcheng back at that time?" King Yan asked again, with a little transparency and a little understanding in his words.

Nie Xingchen decided to remain silent about this question, and he couldn't answer it.

Seeing this, King Yan smiled meaningfully: "Do you know why Lone responded to your intention and started a war against the Chu State?" And why did you agree to take her back? ”

He didn't wait for Nie Xingji to answer, he had already replied: "When Qingcheng was in harmony, Qin Tianjian calculated for her, saying that she was 'destined to be the master of Zhongtian' and was the 'queen's destiny'. ”

"Queen?" Although Nie Xingji didn't believe in these stars, he still couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the word "queen".

There is no other reason, just because Kyushu has been divided for nearly 300 years, and the four countries stand side by side, and no king of any country dares to call him "emperor", and naturally, there is no such thing as "queen". Including the extinct Chu State, the wives of the monarchs of the four kingdoms are just "queens".

"You say she's the 'Queen's Destiny'?" Nie Xingji suspected that he was hallucinating.

King Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his words were meaningful: "No one in Kyushu has been able to claim the title of emperor for three hundred years......"

"That's why you're determined to attack Chu?" Nie Xingji blurted out and asked, in his heart, his father was not a superstitious person.

"It is better to believe what you have than to believe what you don't have." King Yan sighed: "Lone originally thought that she was Lone's daughter, if she was really the queen's life, then my Nie clan was destined to be a descendant, and I would not have the opportunity to take the throne of the emperor......"

"But it was later confirmed that she was not Lone's bloodline," King Yan suddenly changed his words, "How could Lone allow her to stay with Prince Chu?" Besides, didn't you also want her to come back? ”
