Chapter 780: Competing for the Lord

The Manchu civil and military who attended the palace banquet were very unhappy with Manda's questioning of his emperor's behavior.

The emperor of the victorious country can be questioned by you, the son of a defeated country.

I don't know how thick the sky is.

Xiao Fuyuan and everyone figured out the mood of the emperor's cousin.

The emperor sat steadily, with a smile on his face, freely showing the demeanor of a great country, as if he didn't care about this yellow-mouthed child.

And Manda didn't know the consequences of his mouth, and he stood in his position like crazy, and he stalked his neck and made it clear that he wanted the emperor to give an explanation.

The envoys of the Rong State were sweating profusely.

Xiao Fuyuan found that only the young envoy beside Lou Wan and Manran Mandan had a calm and normal face.

"General Meng, this official thought that the Northwest Army had taken back the dignity of this dynasty, but now I don't think so." Fan Shijie shook his head lightly and slammed the wine glass on the table.

General Meng glanced at Fan Shijie and did not speak.

"I don't know, I only know that Lord Fan's dignity lost in Rong Country was picked up by our Northwest Army." You Qingya picked up the wine glass and said with a hearty smile.

There was an uproar.

Xiao Fuyuan knew that this was You Qingya satirizing Fan Shijie.

When Fan Shijie had just entered the Hanlin Academy, there was friction on the border of Xia Rong, and he went to Rong for peace talks as a delegation of Xia envoys. originally wanted to take back the five cities and make a name for themselves, but his dignity was shattered before he succeeded.

In the past, Fan Shijie's sworn enemies always liked to attack him with this matter, and he could only stop in discouragement.

Since Fan Shijie took the supreme power of Wenchen, no one was allowed to mention this matter.

You Qingya revealed Fan Shijie's scar in public.

The Northwest military people are very fast.

If it weren't for the main peace faction like Fan Shijie dragging its feet, it would not have been possible for the Northwest Army to be so passive last winter, and to attack the army of Rongguo without food, grass and reinforcements.

Originally, everyone should have been unanimous to the outside world today, but Fan Shijie made a mistake and stabbed General Meng at any opportunity.

As subordinates, how can the Northwest generals endure it.

Originally, You Qingya attracted attention as a female general, and her sarcasm of Fan Shijie pushed her to the top of the limelight.

You Qingya ignored everyone's stunned or admiring gazes, and tore the big elbow in front of him to gnaw.

Xiao Fuyuan looked diagonally opposite, where sat the family members of Wu Yushi.

Mrs. Zhuang's brows furrowed slightly.

This girl from the You family is not only good at fighting, but also sharp in her teeth, and she was worried that she would serve with a stick if she didn't agree with her when she entered the door, but now it seems that she is not more worried than at all, this girl will not only serve with a stick but also stab people with words.

No, such a girl can't afford the martial arts, she has to look at the empty space and ask the Queen Mother to be a matchmaker to point out a family affair to Wu Xiaoying, regardless of whether the small family is still a famous lady.

It's better than a vulgar general!

Wu Xiaoying's sister Wu Ziqing has never left You Qingya since she entered the hall, and the eyes looking at You Qingya at this time are even more irrepressible admiration.

Unlike the martial wife, Zhuang, the martial arts royal history, who has always been old-fashioned, squinted at You Qingya, and his heart was extremely happy.

Because what You Qingya said just now was exactly what he wanted to say to Fan Shijie.

Wu Yushi took a sip of wine.

The hard fist is different, and the opponent's weakness is killed.

The son who secretly gave You Qingya a thumbs up fell in the eyes of Wu Yushi, and it was extremely pleasing to the eye.

Of course, this is just a small episode of civil and military discord.

It didn't affect the emperor's mood.

As an emperor, the more Wenwu tore up, the happier he was.

On the contrary, it was the queen who ordered someone to give You Qingya a pot of wine in front of her.

Concubine Shao was appreciative in her heart, with General Meng being the queen's biggest card in the Northwest Army, she wanted to win over the female general of the Northwest Army, but people ignored it.

Manda was still standing, a little confused.

He didn't understand how things were going, and it became a clamoring between the civil and military forces of the Xia Kingdom.

Lou Wan secretly looked at the emperor.

The biggest purpose of his courtship to marry the princess of Xia on behalf of King Chengping was to find out whether the emperor of Xia recognized King Chengping as the successor to the throne of the country.

Now that the matter is clear, Xia Guo has rejected the offer.

If you are really reluctant to marry Princess Yun'an to King Chengping, you can also let other clan daughters marry King Chengping.

However, Xia Guo refused, which can only show that the emperor has eliminated the candidate for the head of the country of King Chengping in his heart.

Manda asked Emperor Xia who the next lord of the Rong Kingdom would be, although his tone was a little more intense, but it was also what he wanted to ask.

Lou Wan waited quietly, waiting for Emperor Xia's reply.

"About the next lord of the Rong Kingdom...... the emperor muttered.

"I don't think King Chengping is suitable." The emperor set the tone for King Chengping with an unquestionable voice.

The envoys of Rong were stunned.

"My father is not suitable, who is suitable?" Manda was the first to cry out.

He was not convinced.

The position of the lord of the country in his hand flew, and he was unwilling.

His father told him that as long as he stayed in the capital for a few years, he would take him back to train as the next lord of the country.

Why did Emperor Xia shatter his dream of being the lord of the country with a single word.

"Manda, I intend to choose a young lord from among the sons." The Emperor smiled at Manda's rudeness and even leniency.

When Manda heard "the lord of the country years ago", her anger immediately disappeared.

Could it be that the emperor of the Xia Kingdom wanted to bypass his father and let him inherit the lord directly?

Now there are three sons, Mandan's bloodline is not pure, and Man Ran and Xia have killed their fathers.

Excluding the two of them, who else is more suitable to inherit the lord of the Rong country than himself.

"Father, Father." Manda changed her questioning tone, and her father's shout was sincere.

Naturally as excited as Manda is Manran.

It's just that Man Ran's emotions are not exposed, and he also believes in his heart that he is the one who can inherit the country.

His father used to be the heir, and he learned Xia culture since he was a child and understood all Xia etiquette.

He looks more suitable than Manda.

"Everything that listens to my father." Man Ran looked respectful.

Only then did the envoys of the Rong State see clearly why the Xia State insisted on letting the prince of the Rong State come to the capital of the Xia State together.

There is no better way to exert influence on a country than to control the future lord.

What can they do?

Xia Guobai Zhuangyuan said that the rights that you can't get on the battlefield can't be obtained at the negotiation table.

This is the result of their defeat, and whoever becomes the lord of the country must obey the Xia country.

"If you inherit the lord of the Rong country, how will you govern the country?" The emperor asked casually.

"Back to my father, my sons have worshiped heroes since I was a child, and I am naturally a big hero like my ancestors, which makes all the tribes of the grassland fearful."

Manda is extremely heroic.

Lou Wan sighed in his heart, stupid, King Chengping's vein and the position of the lord of the country are completely lost.

The emperor praised Manda's good ambition and looked at Manran.

"Back to my father, if my sons succeed the country, my sons will listen to my father." Man Ran said.

The emperor nodded and asked the youngest Mandan, "What about you, the prince of Mandan?"

Mandan stood up and said, "I will learn from Xiyue Kingdom to promote the culture of the Xia Kingdom and imitate the system of the Xia Kingdom."

The Emperor smiled faintly.

"I think that the reason why the Rong country provoked the war is largely because of the backward culture, backward system, and no knowledge of production and governance, only robbing and killing. Therefore, what Mandan said is right, if you want to make the Rong country stable for a long time, the most important thing is to use the culture of our dynasty to educate it, and use the system of our dynasty to restrain the upper and lower levels."

"Mandan understands this truth at a young age, and he can be the next lord of the Rong country."

Mandan got up, crossed Manda and Manran, came to the center of the main hall, knelt down with his little body, and his immature voice sounded: "Mandan listens to His Majesty's teachings, and must be a good person who will make the Rong Kingdom peaceful and not afford war."

Lord of the Kingdom."
