Chapter 354: Stirring Trouble
―― The beginning of the chapter - >
The old general Xi Long drank the wine in the cup with an excited face.
The Jinluan Hall reverberated with low praise, and the civil and military officials exchanged heads and ears with each other.
"This old general Xi Long is Xi Shaocheng's father, and he is an old minister of the two dynasties. Qiao Feiyan introduced Hanchen softly.
Hanchen nodded, from Emperor Qiao Hongyu's attitude towards him, he could see how high the status of the dragon was. And judging from Xi Shaocheng's age, Xi Long also had a son in his later years.
Qiao Hongyu held the empty wine glass, and the maid beside him carefully filled it.
"My second glass of wine is to General Zhao Bo. ”
Everyone's eyes then looked at a middle-aged man in his thirties, the man was also dressed as a military general, with a Chinese face and a beard. However, his face was slightly pale, as if he was injured.
Zhao Bo hurriedly stood up, bowed down and clasped his hands into fists, "Your Majesty, the last general will not dare to accept your toast." ”
"Why?" Qiao Hongyu asked.
"Ahem!" Zhao Bo coughed twice, his face full of shame. "In the battle of exchange with the Black Cavalry Empire, the last general suffered a defeat and failed to live up to the expectations of His Majesty and the Manchu Dynasty. The last will be ashamed, and the last will be terrified. ”
Qiao Hongyu's expression did not change, and a majestic and majestic voice came. "There is no general in the world who always wins, and victory and defeat are common things in soldiers. General Zhao Bo, you have been guarding the country's border territory all the year round, eliminating thieves and thieves, and you are invincible. How can you not be unjustified with this glass of wine?"
"Your Majesty, the last general will thank Lord Longen. Zhao Bo's eyes were slightly red, and his fists were clenched, as if the injuries on his body had been restored at once.
"Hehe, okay. Zhao Bo also drank this solemn second glass of wine.
Then Qiao Hongyu raised the third cup, and his majestic eyes swept over the civil and military officials of His Highness. This glass of wine is a toast to the soldiers who are about to rush to the battlefield. Congratulations in advance on the triumphant return of the Great Indian Empire's war of exchange. ”
Triumphant return!
Qiao Hongyu drank the water and wine in the cup in one gulp, and all the civil and military ministers in the entire hall stood up in unison and shouted in unison, "Return triumphantly!"
Hanchen secretly exclaimed, the majesty of the king of this country is really extraordinary. Even he, an outsider, can't help but feel a little blood boiling.
At this moment, Xi Shaocheng, who was wearing majestic gold armor, suddenly walked out of his position, arrived at the center of the main hall, knelt on one knee, and said loudly.
"Your Majesty, the last general has something to say. ”
"Aiqing has something to say. Qiao Hongyu raised his hand slightly, signaling the other party to flatten.
"Xie Majesty. Xi Shaocheng got up, and immediately swept his gaze to Qiao Feiyan, who was sitting next to Hanchen, and said in a sincere tone. "Your Majesty, the last general pleaded for marriage, and promised Her Royal Highness the princess to be married. ”
As soon as these words came out, the Jinluan Hall was suddenly in a lot of chaos. Everyone present was shocked, and their faces were stunned.
Qiao Feiyan couldn't help but stand up, "What nonsense are you talking about? ”
"I'm not kidding. Xi Shaocheng replied with a sincere face, "Princess, I am sincere to you, although I know that my identity is not worthy of you, but I swear today in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty that I, Xi Shaocheng, will definitely take good care of you." ”
This remark immediately aroused the approval of many ministers, and everyone turned their heads left and right again, nodding at Xi Shaocheng in praise.
"Major General Xi is especially young, and he is indeed the best candidate for the horse. ”
"Yes, he and Her Royal Highness the Princess can be considered talented and beautiful, and they are really a perfect match. ”
Listening to the discussion of the hundred officials, a trace of pride flashed in Xi Shaocheng's eyes, and he looked at Hanchen with a calm face with a provocative gaze.
Qiao Hongyu couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect Xi Shaocheng to come out like this.
This Shaocheng is about to lead his troops into battle, and if he goes into battle with affection, how can this battle be fought well. Moreover, the other party's father, Xi Long, is a veteran of the two dynasties here, and he has to look at the Buddha face if he doesn't look at the monk's face.
Accept it! I'm sorry for my baby daughter, Qiao Hongyu knows that her daughter's heart already belongs. And when they met for the first time, his first impression of Hanchen was still good. Of course, compared to Xi Shaocheng's words. Qiao Hongyu is still more optimistic about the latter.
Just when Qiao Hongyu was hesitating, the old general Xi Long spoke, "Your Majesty, Cheng'er has a deep affection for Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the old minister also dared to ask Her Majesty for this family matter, and also begged Her Majesty to give marriage." ”
After all, it is father and son, and Xi Long really put a layer of 'pressure' on Qiao Hongyu. Many ministers also began to help Xi Shaocheng speak, brokering his marriage with Qiao Feiyan.
However, there are also a small number of ministers who are indifferent to this matter, and General Zhao Bo does not seem to have any statement.
Seeing that the big thing was about to come to pass, Xi Shaocheng's heart became more and more happy, of course, he could also see Qiao Hongyu's hesitation. After a little thought, Xi Shaocheng continued.
"Your Majesty, the last general knows that it is a bit sudden to bring up this matter. The last general only needs your Majesty's approval, and when I return from the battle, it will be the time of my wedding with Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
I have to say that Xi Shaocheng is still very bold and young.
Qiao Hongyu couldn't help but show a little praise and satisfaction, the horse in his mind should be so bold and heroic. But Qiao Feiyan's cheeks were slightly red, and her willow eyebrows were tightly frowned.
"You can't win this battle. At this moment, an indifferent voice suddenly silenced the entire hall.
Everyone's hearts were shocked, and Qi Shushu's eyes swept to the place where Qiao Feiyan's smoke was. I saw Hanchen slowly stand up, his dark eyes revealing a little depth.
Long before, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty had noticed Hanchen, but they just ignored him.
Qiao Hongyu looked at Hanchen in a little surprise, with a little deep meaning surging in his eyes.
"What did you say?" asked Xi Shaocheng with a frown.
"I said you can't win this battle. ”
The audience was in an uproar, and everyone thought that this kid dared to say such a thing openly in the Jinluan Palace, and he was a little too bold.
"You are so bold that you dare to talk nonsense here and demoralize the generals of our army. A civil servant shouted.
"Don't think that if you're a friend of Her Royal Highness the Princess, you'll be able to talk nonsense. ”
"Your Majesty, I beg you to cure him. ”
Many ministers have long been dissatisfied with Hanchen, and the other party is not a minister, and the other is not a nobleman. But being on an equal footing with them naturally hindered the eyes of many people.
Qiao Feiyan was a little anxious, and just wanted to defend something. But Hanchen still looked calm, and said lightly, "What I said is just the truth, I lost the last battle with the Black Horse Empire." And the Great Seal Empire is even stronger than the Black Horse Empire, I dare to guarantee that if you Xi Shaocheng leads the troops to meet the battle, you will definitely lose. ”
"Presumptuous!" the old general Xi Long shouted angrily.
Xi Shaocheng was also furious, and his face was gloomy, "Stinky boy, what are you? You are also qualified to draw conclusions, have you ever led a soldier? Have you ever fought?"
Hanchen shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "No." ”
Everyone in the audience immediately cast disdainful glances, and one by one they sneered at Hanchen and disdained it.
"Hey. Xi Shaocheng sneered, "It's really ridiculous, you don't know anything." With your strength in the triple shape realm, General Ben can pinch you to death at will, what qualifications do you have to sit with the princess? What qualifications do you have to stand here?"
Xi Shaocheng few
It was worthless to devalue Hanchen, and Qiao Hongyu still had no intention of stopping it, he really wanted to see what unexpected actions Hanchen would make next.
Hanchen's eyes narrowed slightly, and a contemptuous smile rose at the corner of his mouth. "How about a fight?"
"Hmph, if you look for death, I will fulfill you. ”
"Stop. Xi Long immediately drank and stopped Xi Shaocheng, who was doing it, "Jinluan Palace, how can you two be presumptuous, and don't you all retreat for me." ”
Xi Shaocheng breathed a deep sigh of relief, his face full of disdain.
At this moment, General Zhao Bo suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Your Majesty, the last general has an idea. ”
"Oh?" Qiao Hongyu was slightly surprised, and then raised his hand, "Aiqing has something to say." ”
Zhao Bo bowed slightly, pointed at Han Chen and said, "This little brother just said bluntly that we will lose to the Great Seal Empire, I am afraid that the generals here, including me, must be dissatisfied in their hearts." Especially General Xi Lao and Major General Xi, it is inevitable that they will not be able to swallow one breath. ”
"Hmph. Xi Long flicked his sleeves and put on an old face.
"Hehe, why don't I look at it like this!" Zhao Bo continued, "That little brother naturally wants to take responsibility for what he said, and I mention that he and Major General Xi each led an army in a military duel. It's also good to let him know how amazing Major General Xi's combat ability is with troops. ”
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly became a pot of porridge. They all said that Zhao Bo's mention was purely redundant, and there was no need to fight this battle at all.
Xi Shaocheng was also a little confused by Zhao Bo's suggestion, and immediately smiled coldly, "I'm afraid General Zhao is joking! Do you think this is necessary?"
"It's not up to me to say whether it's necessary or not, I just think that little brother despises your ability to lead troops. Then you should prove yourself in this regard. Zhao Bo turned his gaze to Han Chen and said meaningfully, "Little brother, do you think so?"
Han Chenjun's eyebrows furrowed slightly, he couldn't see what kind of heart this Zhao Boan had for a while?
Xi Shaocheng sneered on the side and said, "Boy, I'll add a little bit here. If you lose, please keep a certain distance from Her Royal Highness in the future. Of course, you can choose to refuse, but what you just said is enough to expose you to the crime of beheading. ”
Qiao Feiyan's face changed, and he hurriedly turned his gaze to Qiao Hongyu. However, Qiao Hongyu didn't seem to have any intention of interfering, and calmly waited for Hanchen's reply.
"You don't have to provoke me with such words. Hanchen's attitude was even calmer than he imagined, and he looked back at Xi Shaocheng indifferently. "I promise. End of chapter - >
