Chapter 199: The Southern Kingdom uses its strength to protect the Ninth Prince
The group of people arrived at the palace gate, dismounted according to the rules, took off their weapons, and headed towards the 꺶 palace under the guidance of the commander of the imperial guards.
There are posts every ten steps and sentries every five steps along the palace road, and they are heavily guarded. However, as the general under the command of the Southern Empress, Rong Xiao is obviously used to the storms, and he does not take this to heart in the palace battles. m.
Emperor Zhaoyu and hundreds of civil and military officials were waiting under His Majesty Dan. He watched King Jing and the white-robed general coming side by side from a distance. The young general had a slender figure and steady and powerful steps. He could tell at a glance that he was powerful and profound. Hidden or not, it makes people admire you.
Emperor Zhao's face glowed red, and he couldn't help but nodded: "The strength of the Southern Kingdom can be seen from this general."
The officials behind him naturally agreed: "Your Majesty is right, this General Rong looks to be about the same age as the Ninth Prince."
"Today's world is dominated by young people." Emperor Zhaoyu sighed, "Since ancient times, heroes have appeared in young men, such as the Empress of the Southern Kingdom, the Ninth Prince of the Mu Kingdom, General Rong, and those young princes and princes who are famous all over the world... many years of youth are young. People can stand alone, and I have been eliminated by them at my age.”
As he spoke, Emperor Zhaoyu suddenly remembered the words Yan Li had asked Xiao Changhai to bring to Mu Cang: Emperor of the South and King of the North, Lord of the East and Prince of the West.
During these days, he thought about this sentence from time to time, and he had a vague feeling that the Southern Emperor should be talking about the Empress of the Southern Kingdom.
Does the Northern King refer to Mu Cang, the ninth prince of the Mu Kingdom, or the regent of Northern Xinjiang?
Emperor Zhaoda was not sure. What puzzled him even more was that even though the story of the Southern Emperor and the Northern King spread throughout the countries, it did not become widely known.
Most of the people who knew were generals who were always on the battlefield, as well as kings and dignitaries from various countries who were ambitious and concerned about world affairs. How could Yan Li, a girl who was raised in a boudoir and rarely went out, know?
As for the king of the east and the king of the west...
"께General Rong Xiao has met His Majesty the Emperor of Mu Kingdom."
The envoy was already in front of him. Emperor Zhaoyu came back to his senses and looked at the young general in front of him from a close distance. The more he looked at him, the more he felt that he was a rare and handsome man with outstanding grace and elegant appearance.
He quickly returned the greeting: "General Rong, you don't have to be polite. It is an honor for the country of Mu to have this distinguished guest come, and it is my greatest honor."
"Don't dare to take it seriously."
"General Rong, please." Emperor Zhaoyu raised his hand.
"Thank you." Rong Xiao returned the greeting, "Your Majesty, please."
Emperor Zhaomo turned around and led all the civil and military officials up the steps from Danbi on the left. Rong Xiao and the envoys of the Southern Kingdom walked to the side.
When they arrived at the front of the palace, Emperor Zhaoda raised his hand to signal the envoys to enter the palace: "The generals and people from the Southern Kingdom sent here this time are really beyond my expectation."
After all, the Mu Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom had a close relationship in the past. There was no enmity or friendship. The sudden visit of the envoy was really unexpected.
"To be honest, the general came here in compliance with my emperor's order to achieve good relations with the country of Mu." Rong Xiao said in a calm tone, "My empress has admired the ninth prince of the country of Mu for a long time, and wants to establish a good relationship with your country. The marriage between the nine princes brought about a good relationship between the two countries, Qin and Jin——"
"What did General Rong say?" Emperor Zhaoyu paused and stared at Rong Xiao, as if he thought he heard wrongly.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, didn't you hear clearly?" Rong Xiao looked at him strangely and then repeated, "Her Majesty the Queen admires the Ninth Prince of your country and intends to marry him."
Emperor Zhao was strangely silent, and it took him a while to find his voice: "Didn't I talk about marrying Princess Nanyang before..."
"Your Majesty has an oral message, saying that the Ninth Prince is the God of War of the Mu Kingdom and deserves respect. If he is not willing to marry, there is no need to force it." Rong Xiao said in a steady tone, "My emperor also heard that Princess Nanyang of the Mu Kingdom is famous far and wide, and she has a beautiful heart. I thought that there are still a few princes in the Southern Kingdom who have not yet been married. If they can marry Princess Nanyang, they can also achieve the purpose of marriage. "
After the words fell, the palace was as silent as snow.
Emperor Zhao didn't say a word and walked to the main seat and sat down. Mu's ministers all had subtle expressions and quietly walked to the seats on the left side and sat down according to their status.
They obviously didn't expect that Nanguo not only missed Princess Nanyang, but also had the intention of the Ninth Prince.
What are they trying to do?
When the Empress of the Southern Kingdom is in power, it is impossible for His Majesty the Emperor to marry her in person. Should she let the Ninth Prince marry her?
Isn't this the most ridiculous thing in the world?
Emperor Zhao was silent for a moment, and then he smiled apologetically: "Your country is full of heart, and I am really happy. It's just that General Rong doesn't know. The Ninth Prince Mu Cang and Princess Nanyang happen to be engaged, and the wedding will be held tomorrow. 꺶 Ceremony.”
"The Ninth Prince and Princess Nanyang?" Rong Xiao turned to look at the ministers of the Kingdom of Mu, his expression was calm and calm, showing nothing unusual, "To put it this way, I was the one who was abrupt."
Emperor Zhaoyu said something that he did not take seriously, and raised his glass: "I am deeply sorry, but your country is so kind, and I really don't want to let it down. I have several daughters under my knees. They are good-looking, well-informed, and polite. If your country Your Majesty doesn’t mind, I’m willing to choose one to marry.”
After saying this, he was extremely glad that he did not agree to let Yan Li and Jin Guo get married. Otherwise, facing the Queen of the South's marriage proposal today, he would not even have a legitimate excuse to refuse.
It's just that Emperor Zhaoda couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.
The Southern Kingdom has the most powerful military force among the Nine Kingdoms. As the queen of a country, the Queen's Palace and Courtyard are very common. Except for the noble sons of their local aristocratic families, if there are beautiful men from other countries, they should also be able to get married.
Although Mu Cang has outstanding appearance, he has a cold and arrogant temperament, and is not a romantic person at all. Did the Empress of the Southern Kingdom fall in love with him as a person, or with his ability to lead troops in battle?
If the empress is determined enough to marry, does it mean that she wants to get Mu Cang, a capable and skilled general, through marriage to help her expand her territory and conquer the nine states?
Emperor Zhao held the wine cup tightly, thinking that this possibility was very likely, so likely that he had to be on guard.
Rong Xiao shook his head slowly: "This time, my emperor has only two instructions, one is to establish a marriage relationship with the Ninth Prince of Mu State, and the other is that if the marriage is not successful, my emperor is willing to use the power of the Southern Kingdom to protect the Ninth Prince for life."
Emperor Zhao was shocked.
Other civil and military officials of the Mu State were also shocked, and subconsciously turned to look at Emperor Zhao.
This...
Use the power of the Southern Kingdom to protect the Ninth Prince for life?
