A Clash of Gods - Chapter 766

[Chapter 762 Difficulties]

/p>Longtai shook his head and said, “The King of Huainan only said that he would give you marriage, but he did not propose to give you a girl from another family. clear?”

Qi Ning is so shrewd, when Long Tai said this, Qi Ning immediately understood and said, “The King of Huainan is worried that I will be an ambassador to Dong Qi to make a contribution, and the emperor will give me several opportunities to hold an important position, so he gave me a marriage early. Reward, in this way, it is not good to give another reward.”

“The existence of the Black Scale Battalion has caused a thorn in the hearts of King Huainan and Sima Lan. How can they hope to see other opportunities for me to give you an important position?” Longtai’s eyes were sharp, and he said softly: “Fortunately he reminded me that I I just thought that Ximen Wuhen’s daughter hasn’t left the cabinet yet, so I’ll wait for you to come back and ask what you mean.”

“Your Majesty, if my guess is correct, this time Duan Shao is asking for relatives, and I am afraid that he will have nothing to do with King Huainan.” Qi Ning’s eyes were like knives, and he sneered: “King Huainan may not have thought that the emperor would marry Ximen. Zhan Ying, but after thinking about it, he may have expected the emperor to have such a move, so he came up with the idea of using Duan Shao to stop the marriage. As long as Ximen Zhanying was given to Duan Shao, then no matter who the emperor would marry him Jinyi Houfu, Huainan King will not care.”

Longtai nodded slightly and said, “Duan Shao was really surprised when he mentioned this marriage. Why did he take a fancy to Ximen Zhanying? Now that I think about it, what you said is not unreasonable.” Wei pondered before asking. Said: “Why is that Duan Shao willing to be used by the King of Huainan? Although Ximen Zhanying is the daughter of a god, but Duan Shao is the prince of Dongqi, he wants to find a prince, even if he is not born in the royal family of my Great Chu, It should also be the hereditary family of my Chu State.”

“Your Majesty, Duan Shao is a man-made man, and his cunning is not under the King of Huainan.” Qi Ning sneered: “He asked for Ximen Zhanying, and his purpose is naturally not simple.”

Long Tai said: “Is it for the Shenhou Mansion?”

“It’s very possible.” Qi Ning said, “Although Ximen Zhanying is young and has little experience in the Shenhou Mansion, she is the daughter of the Shenhou Mansion after all. There are many secrets and important things in the Shenhou Mansion that others don’t know, but Ximen Zhanying may not know. .”

Long Tai smiled and said: “So Duan Shao asked for Ximen Zhanying’s gift, and then took something out of Ximen Zhanying’s mouth. If Ximen Zhanying really married Dongqi and became a prince, she would be from Dongqi, not necessarily Not revealing things that shouldn’t be revealed.”

“Your Majesty, for the benefit of our country of Chu, Ximen Zhanying must not marry Dongqi.” Qi Ning said sternly: “Fortunately, the Emperor has not agreed to him, and there is still room for manoeuvre in this matter.”

“I didn’t promise him, but in order to take care of his face, I didn’t immediately refuse.” Long Tai said: “When Duan Shao asked for a marriage, he was very respectful. If I refused directly, it would definitely make him unable to come down. He will become the monarch of the Eastern Qi, and before the Northern Han is conquered, it is not good for him to hold grudges in his heart.” With a slight smile, he said, “It is difficult for me to reject him, but it does not mean that others cannot.”

Qi Ning understood something and said, “What does the emperor mean…?”

“Tomorrow morning, Duan Shaohui will enter the hall.” Long Tai said: “The two countries will marry such a big event,

He naturally wants to ask me in the courtroom.

”

Qi Ning’s eyes lit up: “When the emperor asked me to go to court early tomorrow, when he asked you for a kiss, I would stop him?”

“It depends on how capable you are.” Longtai smiled half-smilingly: “Qining, don’t say you really didn’t give you a chance. Before tomorrow morning, you think of a way to refuse his request, but you can’t be in front of the courtier. It hurt his face.”

“Your Majesty, this matter is related to Ximen Zhanying’s life-long event. How will Ximen Wuhen decide?” Qi Ning asked softly, “Will Ximen Wuhen not want to see his daughter marry Dong Qi?”

Longtai shook his head and said, “If someone else asks for marriage, if Ximen Wuhen does not agree, they may block it. But this time it is the Prince of Dongqi, and this marriage is also related to the alliance between the two countries. If Ximen Wuhen blocks in public, he will give it to him. People use their pretense to say that he abolished the public for personal reasons. Ximen Wuhen is old and serious, even if he is dissatisfied, he will not refuse in public.”

At this time, I heard a report from outside: “Report to the Holy One, the Master Yuan of the Ministry of Rites is asking for an interview!”

Long Tai said: “Let him come in.” Xiang Qi Ning said, “It should be for my wedding.”

Yuan Lao Shangshu was summoned into the imperial study, and after seeing it, he cupped his hands to Qi Ning again: “Jinyi’s trip to Dongqi went well, really young and promising.”

Qi Ning smiled slightly, and then Yuan Lao Shangshu took out a memorial from his sleeve and presented it to him, saying, “Reporting to the sage, the old minister has been preparing for the wedding of the sage with the officials of the Ministry of Rites and yamen. After deliberation by Si Tianjian, the auspicious day of the day has been selected, and all the matters of the wedding have been stated in the memorial, and the emperor is invited to preview it.”

Longtai opened the memorial, glanced at it, and said, “The date of the big wedding is scheduled for July 18?” He raised his hand and said, “There are still about ten days.”

Yuan Lao Shang wrote: “Reporting to the Holy One, there are two auspicious days this month, the sixth day of the seventh month and the eighteenth day of the seventh month. It was negotiated to set the date on the 18th of the seventh month. On the 15th of the 7th month, we set off for the imperial mausoleum.

Long Tai said with a smile: “Old Shangshu has been bothered. Since the date has been set, everything will be done according to what you have prepared.”

“If the emperor thinks there are any omissions, the old minister will prepare it in time.” Although Yuan Lao Shangshu is old, his mind is very clear and his spirit is not bad: “If you follow common sense, the saint will get married and come from all over the world. Dynasty, now that the Crown Prince of Dong Qi is staying in the capital, he naturally does not need to invite Dong Qi any more, and Northern Han and my Great Chu are enemy countries, so the old minister thought that he did not need to invite them. However, the old minister wanted to ask the sage for instructions. Senior officials of Fengjiang, do you allow them to participate in the wedding now?”

Longtai shook his head and said: “I have already instructed before that this big marriage should not lose dignity or damage the prestige of the country, but it should not be extravagant. Those who enter the capital without being summoned will be severely punished.”

Yuan Lao Shangshu’s eyes showed a look of relief, and respectfully said: “The sage is wise.”

“Old Shangshu is very old, you don’t have to work too hard, you have to take care of your body.” Longtai said amicably: “I am the first to ascend to the great treasure, and I want you old ministers to support me with all my heart.”

“Although the old minister’s eyes are dim, as long as the emperor has a will, he will do his best and die!” Yuan Lao Shangshu gave another salute, and Longtai warned him a few more words, and then Yuan Lao Shangshu retreated.

Longtai watched Yuan Lao Shangshu leave and sighed: “Lao Shangshu has done many things himself these days, but it’s hard for him.” He glanced at Qi Ning and said softly: “But there are too many old ministers in the court, some of them are dazzling, like It’s okay for the old Shangshu to be able to do some things like this, some corpses are vegetarian, and if some important yamen are controlled by these old ministers, it will not be a blessing for my great Chu.”

Qi Ning nodded slightly, knowing very well in his heart that the little emperor had just ascended to the great treasure, and he had high fighting spirit. Helped the hands and feet, unable to cast.

Fortunately, although this little emperor is young, his temperament is quite calm, and he did not rush too much.

“I still have some memorials to read here. You should go back and think about how the DPRK will deal with it tomorrow.” Longtai looked at Qi Ning with a half-smiling smile: “I know that Ximen Zhanying is very close to you, and you want to marry her. It’s up to you whether you have that ability or not.”

Qi Ning thought to himself that after I met you, I hoped that you would continue to rise to the top of the sky, but you are good, and you will give yourself a problem every three days. This big tree is really unreliable right now.

After leaving the palace, Qi Ning knew that Longtai obviously had concerns about Ximen Zhanying’s marriage to Dongqi. Yu Gong did not want to see the people from the Shenhou Mansion being brought back by the people of Dongqi, which might lead to the leakage of the secrets of the Shenhou Mansion. In other words, after all, the little emperor had something to say first, and it was not easy to go back on his promises if he wanted to marry Ximen Zhanying to his family.

It’s just that the little emperor considered the overall situation, and it was not easy to directly reject Duan Shao’s request, but to leave room for Qi Ning to resolve the marriage.

Qi Ning rode on a horse and thought about how to deal with the court meeting tomorrow. In the end, it was really hard for him to do this alone. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com needed the cooperation of Ximen Zhanying. He was thinking about going to the Shenhou Mansion I went to Ximen Zhanying to discuss the matter, and suddenly someone shouted, “Master Hou, Master Hou…!”

Qi Ning was a little surprised. He followed the sound and saw a person coming up from the street. He looked carefully, but he also recognized that it was Liu Qingzhou, a disciple of the Beggar Gang.

Liu Qingzhou almost lost his life last time because of the virus spreading in Beijing. Fortunately, Qi Ning saved his life in time. He was only a middle-level disciple in the Guijinyang Fenrui of the Beggar Gang, but he was very familiar with Qi Ning.

“Brother Liu?” Qi Ning restrained his horse and said with a smile, “Why are you here?”

Liu Qingzhou looked left and right before lowering his voice and said, “Master Hou, I wonder if it is convenient to go to a place with Xiao, someone wants to see you.”

“Oh?” Qi Ning said, “Is it Elder Suzaku who wants to see me?” He thought to himself that after the Aoki Conference, Elder Suzaku should have returned to the capital with his people.

Liu Qingzhou smiled mysteriously and said, “It’s an old friend of Lord Hou, and Lord Hou will know when he sees it.”

Qi Ning laughed, but didn’t hesitate, motioned Liu Qingzhou to lead the way. Liu Qingzhou led Qi Ning across two streets to a secluded alley. In front of the door, he respectfully said, “Master Hou, people are inside.”

Qi Ning nodded slightly, threw the reins of the horse to Liu Qingzhou, went into the house, and a person came up to meet him, cupped his hands and smiled: “Master Hou, how have you been since I haven’t seen you for a long time?”
