The next morning, the bright sun was in the sky, and the early summer heat wave had swept over, as if it was about to engulf the city of Luoyang.

Among the passers-by on the street, most of the women wore light gauze skirts to cover their bodies, and the handsome young man had a folding fan in his hand.

Li Nuo had no choice today but to wear thick court clothes. Even though his body had been tempered to the point where it was invulnerable to cold and heat, he still felt a little stuffy.

In the Taiqing Palace.

After the ministers bent down and bowed their heads and shouted three times, Long live our emperor, the meeting officially began.

But today, there was an extra person in the hall, His Highness Prince Yan, who was wearing a yellow brocade python robe.

The King of Yan, who had been in the northwest for more than half a year, did not return to the capital in private, but was summoned by His Majesty.

Li Nuo didn't quite understand what Emperor Jingtai was thinking. He kept his eyes straight... lowered his head and stared at his feet, not participating in any discussion.

It was not until two quarters of an hour later that Emperor Jingtai called his name: Gong Wu'an, King Yan has changed his title to King Zhengbei. What do you think?

The expression on Emperor Jingtai's face was quite happy, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Although Li Nuo didn't know the specific thoughts of Emperor Jingtai, he would not deliberately jump out to disgust people at this critical moment.

He walked out of the column, held his hands in his hands and replied without blushing, My emperor is wise!

Oh, how wise am I? Aiqing, can you tell me in detail...

Emperor Jingtai looked at Li Nuo with a half-smile.

Hasn't this Li Zian always been intolerant of sand in his eyes?

But why did he turn into a cunning old man after not seeing him for a month?

The ministers in the main hall also had tense faces and suppressed their smiles. They wanted to see how Mr. Wu An, who was always known for his sharp tongue, could perfectly solve this rather tricky problem of His Majesty's.

Li Nuo was not alarmed.

He held his head high and shouted loudly and righteously: Your Majesty is the chosen son of heaven. He obeys the will of heaven and obeys the people's will. He is unparalleled in wisdom! All the ministers will firmly support your majesty's decisions!

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

this……

Isn't this flattering?

How can a dignified scholar be so flattering?

What a villain is doing, it’s really a shame to be associated with him!

But what if I make a wrong decision?

Emperor Jingtai seemed unwilling to let Li Nuo go and continued to ask.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the ministers suddenly changed.

This question is a bit heartbreaking!

Has Duke Wu An fallen out of favor again?

Did your Majesty hit him on purpose?

However, Li Nuo's expression did not change and he said loudly: Your Majesty's decision is always correct!

Hahaha, you are worthy of being my crown prince and grand master. Emperor Jingtai Longyan was delighted and laughed, Okay, don't talk nonsense, you can also tell me about it, mobilize the northwest army to rush to support Shangyang Pass, Aiqing thinks Is this possible?

This was a major matter for the imperial court, and Emperor Jingtai naturally made the decision after careful consideration for a long time.

Li Nuo would naturally be willing to have reinforcements to support Shangyang Pass. This will certainly greatly reduce the pressure on the mentor.

But if the reinforcements are King Yan...

That wouldn't be great.

King Yan is a prince and a general who has been baptized by war. If he goes to Shaoyang Pass, who will be the leader and who will be the deputy?

If we can't work together, then going to Shaoyang Pass will be a hindrance and a disservice.

But Li Nuo couldn't directly deny King Yan.

He thought for a while and said: Your Majesty, this matter is discussed by the Ministry of War, Tiance Mansion and the Cabinet. I don't understand military affairs, so I won't get involved.

Pfft——

The courtiers finally couldn't help laughing.

You, Li Zian, don’t understand military affairs?

Modesty is a virtue, but if it is taken too far, it becomes annoying.

Ahem... Li Aiqing, look at you. All the Aiqings are laughing at you for saying this.

Emperor Jingtai said with a smile.

Li Nuo was not affected at all, and said without changing his expression: Reporting to Your Majesty, I am just telling the truth. I only know how to fight hard battles! As for the deployment of troops and generals in military strategy, I have never studied the art of war, so I really don't understand much.

Still humble!

Don’t understand military strategy?

The Demon Cult has dominated southern Xinjiang for decades, and even defeated one hundred thousand elite soldiers in Jiannan Road to the point where they were almost annihilated!

And when you go there, you use 20,000 new recruits to besiege the city for several days, and then you take it directly.

Is this called not understanding military strategy?

This is the benefit of having a wife of a demon sect leader!

In fact, even now, the ministers in the hall, including the Minister of Literature Cui Wuhui, only thought that the wife Li Zian married in Yuzhou was a woman who had fallen into decline.

Ye Qingyu practices Tianji Dao and is a second-grade fate-defying master, so he can hide his own tianji.

In short, people who have nothing to do with her will easily ignore her existence.

This is also the reason why Li Nuo was always unable to recall the blind man Xuanjizi before.

Tianji said, after reaching the transcendent realm, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an invisible man. People will subconsciously ignore his existence.

Back to business...

From Li Nuo's words, Emperor Jingtai already understood that the newly promoted Dayin God of War would not object to this matter.

In this way, he was relieved.

He looked at King Yan and said: King Yan, regarding military strategy, you and the Ministry of War will discuss it carefully. When we get to Shangyang Pass, everything must be listened to by Jian Aiqing, the governor of Shangyang Pass. Are you clear?

I obey the decree!

King Yan said loudly.

He did not feel dissatisfied after submitting to Jian Yuyan.

He believes that as long as he is given a chance to play, he will definitely win!

snort!

Li Zian had 10,000 objections to the title of God of War Dayin falling on him!

When he conquered the Yuezhi and regained the northwest, his military exploits were no worse than Li Zian's defense of Chang'an, right?

When Emperor Jingtai saw that King Yan was so understanding, he smiled with satisfaction and said, Okay. It's been hard for you to guard the northwest these days. Now that you've returned to Beijing, take a good rest for a month. In June, you can lead your army to fight for me. Guard the land in the north.

I obey the decree...

King Yan paused, and with a glimmer of light in his eyes, he said, Your Majesty, my princess died of illness two months ago...

Princess Beiyue is gentle and virtuous, with both talent and beauty, but she is defeated by destiny. King Yan, please express your condolences...

Emperor Jingtai said perfunctorily.

How could a cold-blooded emperor be influenced by a woman?

King Yan smiled bitterly and said: Your Majesty, I am fighting abroad, but Prince Yan's palace cannot be without an owner for a day. I also ask your Majesty to grant me a marriage!

Oh, which girl has Prince Yan fallen in love with? As long as she has a clean life and a dignified appearance, then I can be your matchmaker.

Emperor Jingtai smiled.

The ministers were a little speechless.

This is your royal family matter. Is it necessary to bring it to the Taiqing Palace?

Li Nuo looked surprised.

King Yan is not an idiot. Since he dares to talk about this matter in the Taiqing Palace, he must have an agenda...

Xi Chu Jiang Qiuyue!

really.

King Yan revealed his true purpose: Your Majesty, I want to marry Princess Jade as my concubine!

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

King Yan actually targeted Xi Chu!

Emperor Jingtai was also slightly surprised.

But this matter...

Emperor Jingtai took a closer look and found that there was really room for negotiation!

Among the envoys of Western Chu, there were two insurmountable mountains, one civil and one military.

In the past month, countless members of the aristocratic family have come and gone, but they have all fallen into their hands.

The author is the famous Zhuo Qilin, who established the Three Cardinal Guidelines and attained enlightenment!

If the children of the aristocratic family want to meet Princess Jade, they must pass his three assessments.

It's a pity that no one has been able to pass this month. Even many new scholars have returned home with disgrace and resentment. You can imagine how difficult it is!

The children of Duke Wu Xun's family were tortured to death by the first battle general of Blood Pagoda.

In the past month, this civil and military force has wiped out more than two hundred people.

If this momentum continues, I am afraid that this marriage will end without any problems.

If King Yan takes action in person... it is really possible to win the beauty back!

Although King Yan is only thirty-two years old, he has been in the army for fifteen years!

Moreover, he is brave in combat and able to win battles!

It is his credit that the imperial court was able to subdue the Yuezhi clan in the northwest!

In fact, Emperor Jingtai hoped that a scholar from a poor family would marry Princess Jade.

But it's a pity...

It's been a month, and no one from a humble family has dared to stand up.

Even Hua'an, the new top pick in his class who he had high hopes for, didn't share his worries, which made him very disappointed.

He wanted to support Hanmen, but Hanmen didn't dare to take the lead.

Li Nuo glanced at King Yan, thinking in his heart, what did King Yan intend to do with this move?

If King Yan really marries Jiang Qiuyue, then with the support of Xi Chu, this power... is truly inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people!

even……

Li Nuo couldn't help but look up at Emperor Jingtai, who was sitting firmly on the throne.

Once King Yan becomes powerful, it will be enough to threaten the emperor's throne!

Emperor Jingtai, will he really agree?

Unexpectedly, Emperor Jingtai actually agreed: Haha, King Yan, if you want to marry that Jade Princess, you have to pass the test. I can't help you with this.

King Yan Chengzhu said in his chest: As long as your Majesty agrees that I marry Princess Jade, I can handle the rest.

Don't be careless. Jade Qilin and Blood Pagoda are not so easy to deal with.

Emperor Jingtai reminded.

I have my own way!

King Yan straightened his body and was extremely confident.

The day before yesterday, I had an appointment with the Jade Princess to enjoy the lotuses at White Horse Temple. Although we didn't get a full view of her, we still had a great time chatting with her.

Obviously, Princess Jade should also have a good impression of him, and even be very satisfied with him, otherwise why would she go to the appointment?

But think about it carefully.

He is the most powerful prince in Dayin. Who else is more qualified than him to marry Western Chu?

He was even a little happy in his heart, his princess died so timely.

Otherwise, he would really have no reason to marry this Jade Princess.

As everyone knows, the reason why he was able to arouse Jiang Qiuyue's interest was because of his fox-man strategist.

Mr. Wu An, I wonder what you think?

Emperor Jingtai looked at Li Nuo with a smile but not a smile, and said, Jiang Jingcan, the leader of the Western Chu Kingdom, once used the pseudonym Ren Tianxing. He was the number one scholar in our dynasty ten years ago. He and you have the same friendship. His initial plan I also want to betroth Princess Jade to you, but I don’t want you to have a gap with King Yan because of this matter.”

King Yan looked slightly unhappy after hearing this.

Obviously, Emperor Jingtai deliberately gave King Yan eye drops.

It can only be said that Emperor Jingtai had the ambition to dominate the world and be the emperor for eternity, but he did not have the ambition to match it!

Cui Wuhui naturally heard the implication of Emperor Jingtai's words, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

This partner is getting old after all.

I thought that now that there were no constraints, I could realize my ambitions, but this old partner's mind didn't seem to be focused on expanding the territory.

The lion is getting old and just wants to guard his own one-third of an acre of land.

Maybe it was right to let the real King of Qin be the emperor.

It's a pity... He has no choice.

I have no objections. Moreover, Your Majesty has announced to the world before that Princess Jade's choice of a son-in-law is consensual. I also hope that His Highness Prince Yan can succeed immediately!

Li Nuo seemed very calm.

To be honest, he really didn't like Jiang Qiuyue.

After all, he was tricked by this woman once!

Although he is a blessing in disguise, he is still very petty and holds a grudge!

Therefore, Jiang Qiuyue can marry whomever she likes, as long as she doesn't annoy him.

Since Duke Wu An has no objection and King Yan has this idea, then... in three days, we will have a discussion with Xi Chu's civil and military forces and decide on this marriage!

Emperor Jingtai said with great joy.

Now, all the eyes of the world are turned to Luoyang.

He wanted to take the dominant position in this game, let Dayin's momentum completely overwhelm Xichu, and make him surrender and claim vassal status!

Your Majesty, neither Jade Qilin nor Blood Pagoda are easy to deal with. Who is Your Majesty planning to send?

Faced with important events in the country, Cui Wuhui stopped being a fool and stood up and spoke out.

The competition in the previous month was actually just a warm-up.

But now, it's finally time to fight and see blood.

Only by making the two Dingguo divine pillars of Xichu lower their heads could Dayin truly conquer Xichu.

Emperor Jingtai frowned and said, Does Cui Aiqing have a candidate?

Cui Wuhui looked at Zhang Qiushi on the side: I think that Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of War is well versed in the art of war and can compete with the Blood Pagoda.

Emperor Jingtai looked at Zhang Qiushi: Is Zhang Aiqing willing to fight?

Zhang Qiushi said righteously: Your Majesty, my art of war is not as good as the Blood Pagoda. But I am willing to fight to the death, and I will definitely not lose my reputation as Dayin!

Li Nuo was heartbroken!

This Cui Wugui is so cruel!

This is to ruin Zhang Qiushi’s reputation!

The Blood Pagoda, Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and Black Nightmare Army are known as the three strongest cavalry armies in the world.

The Black Nightmare Army has long been destroyed in the long history of mankind.

As for the Blood Pagoda and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Li Nuo had competed with them. But that is not the true strength of these two cavalry armies.

He won the battle with Hubaoqi in Chang'an. But the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry could only exert 20% of its strength at most.

The power of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry lies in the plains, not in city battles.

As for the Blood Pagoda, it was on the Meiguan side. They fought against it for a while, but did not take action.

But no matter what, Li Nuo will not underestimate the enemy.

How can we underestimate the person who can become the strongest killer in Blood Pagoda?

Zhang Qiushi is the Minister of the Ministry of War. His participation in the battle is to represent the face of the imperial court. He can only win, not lose.

I object!

Li Nuo immediately objected, Zhang Shangshu has worked hard for the country and is exhausted mentally and physically. His advantage lies in 'talking on paper' rather than actual combat.

Cui Wuhui nodded and said: But at the moment, only Zhang Shangshu can compete with him. Besides him, who else has this ability?

I come!

Li Nuo gritted his teeth.

To reciprocate the favor, Zhang Qiushi had said a lot for him in the court before, not to mention that Qingyang's military skills were all taught by others.
