Fang Mu was originally kneeling on the ground, but at this moment, the two Feng Li guards were ordered to step forward to compare, and he suddenly sat down on the ground.

"Back to Your Majesty, this strip of cloth is completely consistent with the crack on the Fang guard's court clothes!" The two guards knelt on one knee, respectfully.

Dongfang Yun was shocked, "No, impossible, impossible!"

"Since the Dongfang prince still has doubts, as long as he drips blood again, he can know if it is this Fang guard!" Speaking of this, Xiao Tie paused for a moment, and then continued, "What's more, if Xiao Wang remembers well, it will take at least six months to travel from Nanchu Kyoto to Lidu, right?

Some of the words stopped immediately, Dongfang Yun also came back to his senses and looked at Fang Mu, "It's actually you! Why, why did you kill Xin'er?" he said that this kick kicked Fang Mu to the ground, and Fang Mu didn't resist, nor did he beg for mercy, just knelt quietly.

The case came to light, but it was not what everyone thought, but this incident had a very bad impact on Nanchu in the end, Dongfang Yun did not have the face to continue to stay here, and made an envoy salute to Xiao Yi, "This matter is abrupt in the East, and I hope to leave Huang Haihan! Now that the case of Xin'er's assassination has been revealed, Xin'er's body still needs to be transported back to Nanchu for processing, and Dongfang will not stay long!" As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Tie, "Thank you His Royal Highness King Rui for washing away Xin'er's grievances and not letting her die in vain!"

"I am here to promise the emperor that no matter who ascends the throne, my Nanchu will always be a vassal to Fengli, pay tribute every year, and ensure the friendship between the two countries forever!"

"Okay!" Hearing this, Xiao Yi knew that the purpose of this pilgrimage meeting had been achieved, and there was no point in staying longer, "The eldest princess's future is important, and I won't stay long!"

"This is nature!" Dongfang Yun had a dark face, and left with the Nan Chu envoy in a complicated mood.

The public trial of this case came to an end, and no one was in the mood to enjoy the banquet that was originally prepared at the moment, and the envoys of Nanchu left in disgrace, leaving only the envoys of Xishu.

"Leaving the emperor wisely", Lu Shangming stood up, and he also performed an envoy salute, "Xishu has something to ask for, and I hope to leave the emperor's favor!"

For such a situation, Xiao Yi was not surprised, "Quasi!"

"The emperor should know that in recent years, Xishu has been in drought every year, the people are not connected, and life is very difficult!" Lu Shangming said earnestly, Xiao Yi knew that the key was still behind, and sure enough, "So before leaving, my father explained, let me bring a number of women who are good at piano, chess, painting, and dance to have a game with Fengli, although Fengli is outstanding and spiritual, and there are countless excellent women, but for the sake of tens of thousands of people in Xishu, please also leave the emperor to promise, if Xishu is lucky to come out on top, I will not pay tribute in Xishu for ten years!"

Xiao Yi stroked his beard lightly, this prince of Xishu is really good at talking. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a small and remote country in Xishu to tell the people of the world that the wind is not as good as Xishu? But if he loses next, wouldn't it be even more ugly? Now he really has some feeling that it is difficult to ride a tiger.

After a long time, Xiao Yicai nodded. "That's it, the Western Emperor thinks so much about Li Min, if I don't agree, it will seem a little unkind!" As he spoke, he continued, "Since it's a competition, we have to give Fengli's daughters some time to prepare, plus today's public trial, I am also tired, and the time of the game will be slightly delayed, and it will be set after seven days!"

"Thank you for leaving the emperor!" Prince Xishu saw that his goal had been achieved, and the joy on his face was overflowing.

"That's it, let's disperse!" Xiao Yi waved his hand, and the chief eunuch next to him immediately understood, "Drive back to the palace!"

"Congratulations to the emperor!" the civil and military officials immediately became shorter.

- Ghost King's substitute princess -

The next morning.

"Yesterday, the competition proposed by the prince of Xishu, Aiqing heard it clearly, do you have a countermeasure?"

Baiguan couldn't help but be dumbfounded, it took a long time for someone to stand up, but it was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, "Emperor Qi, the little girl Liu Xiangfang is twenty-eight years old, and she is quite accomplished in the guqin!"

With a person at the beginning, the people behind can't wait to recommend their own daughters.

"The little girl Ye Dieyi is fourteen years old, and she dances well in a song!"

"My niece Yuan Xiang of the same clan has also practiced guqin for more than ten years!"

“......”

Xiao Yi stroked his forehead, where are these people sharing his worries, are they choosing a contestant? This is a draft!

"The little girl Ling Xue is twenty-eight years old, and she has been taught by Mr. Kong in Go, and she is a closed disciple!"

Xiao Yi is a close disciple of Mr. Kong? You must know that this old man Kong is known as the chess saint in Lidu, and her closed disciple, not to mention that he has learned ten out of ten from Mr. Confucius, then he should have at least seven points! Thinking of this, he was in a good mood, "Then in this Go battle, there will be Lao Lingyuan!"

"It's the honor of the little girl to be able to share the emperor's worries!" Ling Cheng looked at the ministers who kept praising their daughters with a smug face, while the other two ministers who also had daughters or nieces who practiced chess with Mr. Kong were very annoyed, knowing that they should also move out of Mr. Kong's name, otherwise how could this position be so easy to settle.

Xiao Yi didn't know about their belly, and ordered a few more women, respectively to play the piano, painting, and dance, just when the chief eunuch was about to announce his retirement from the dynasty, Xiao Lang stood up, "Father, is it a little inappropriate to decide on the candidate in this way?"

"Oh?" Xiao Yi wondered, is there a better candidate than this? You must know that even if the female dependents of civil and military officials are not proficient in everything, they are at least the best candidates for everyone, if they are those small people who are promoted to fight, can anyone else be trained better than them?

cough cough, although he also knew that if Mu Qinghe danced, the chance of winning should be greater, but ...... The four major families are not something he can afford to provoke. Although he is the emperor, he is not to be deterred by the four major families behind his back, this has nothing to do with anything else, it is just strength. If he pulls down his face and goes to Mu's house, if he is rejected, then his face will not be even more ugly!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Lang with some dissatisfaction, "Is there a better candidate for the emperor?"

Xiao Lang and Xiao Han glanced at each other, nodded, and stood up and knelt on one knee, "Father Qi, at the last birthday banquet of Erchen, I was fortunate to see the third emperor's sister-in-law dance, and everyone present was shocked, at least the best candidate Erchen has seen so far!"

"Huh, is it really that good?" Xiao Yi was a little skeptical, how good a dance could an unfavored concubine learn?
