Stunning beauty

At night, Buyihou Mansion.

The cold light danced, and Li Ziye practiced martial arts under the moon for nearly an hour.

In front of the room, Nan'er sat on the stone steps, resting his chin in both hands, watching the bad guy practicing martial arts in front of him boredly.

When she first came to the Hou Mansion, Nan'er was not familiar with everyone, but she was still familiar with this bad guy in her eyes, and could chat a few words.

Half a quarter of an hour later, under the night, streams of light merged into one, turning into a fine steel fan and flying back.

Li Ziye waved away the iron fan, saw the little girl on the stone steps, stepped forward, and said with a gentle expression, "Why don't you sleep?"

"Can't sleep."

Nan'er dragged her chin and replied.

"Children need to sleep more in order to grow taller." Li Ziye sat down beside him and said.

"Bad guys, my clan uncles, will they die?"

Nan'er looked at the enemy at the side and asked.

"Not good."

Li Ziye sighed softly, "As captives, their life and death depend entirely on the outcome of the negotiation between Mobei Eight Departments and the Great Shang court."

When Nan'er heard the words, a sad expression appeared on her face.

"Nan'er, tomorrow, I'll take you out for a walk."

Seeing that the little girl was not in a good mood, Li Ziye changed the subject and said, "Aren't you curious about the customs and customs of the Central Plains? I will take you around when I come back from the court meeting tomorrow."

"Won't they catch me?" Nan'er raised his head and asked.

"will not."

Li Ziye shook his head and said, "I captured you. I even captured all the members of the royal family of Mobei Babu. No one dares to say anything about who I keep. If they are capable, they can go and capture them themselves."

"why?"

Nan'er asked in confusion, "Why didn't you hand me over to the Great Shang court?"

"Because you are still young, you shouldn't have to bear these messy things."

Li Ziye reached out and rubbed the hair of the little girl beside him, and said with a smile, "I arrested you to increase the bargaining chip between Dashang and Mobei Eight Departments, but there is no personal enmity between us, since I brought you to the Central Plains , then I also have the responsibility to protect you, and once the negotiations between Dashang and Mobei Babu are successful, I will send someone to send you back."

"do not understand."

Nan'er seemed to understand but didn't understand, and responded.

"You'll understand later."

Li Ziye replied, "Most of the time, there is no absolute right and wrong in this world. For example, the eight tribes of Mobei went south because Mobei has gradually become unsuitable for the survival of the human race. There is a reason for the incident, which is sympathetic, but sympathy belongs to sympathy." , We big merchants will never sit back and watch our territory be occupied by the Mobei Babu, so war is inevitable."

Speaking of this, Li Ziye paused, looked at the moon in the sky, and said calmly, "I arrest you, the reason is similar, it's not some glorious means, but I have to do it."

"What if the negotiations between Dashang and Mobei Eight Departments fail?"

Nan'er looked at the enemies around him and asked, "Will those uncles and I all die?"

Li Ziye fell silent when he heard the words. After a while, he shook his head again and replied, "You won't."

"Why?" Nan'er asked again.

Children will always have such and such questions, to get to the bottom of it, curiosity trumps everything else.

"because."

Li Ziye hesitated for a moment, then replied, "You are the bottom line in the battle between Mobei and Dashang."

"don't know."

Nan'er asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing interesting, let's not talk, go back to the house and rest."

Li Ziye got up and pulled up the little girl beside him, and said, "Sleep well, I will take you out to play tomorrow."

"Oh."

Nan'er responded and returned to her room obediently.

Li Ziye watched the little girl go back to her room, and then walked back to her own room.

They are people, not beasts.

People should have a conscience, this is the bottom line!

Killing prisoners, even children who have just turned ten, is seriously beyond the boundaries of war.

Overnight.

It will be light.

Under the service of Yu Qingxuan, Li Ziye put on court clothes, left the mansion, and drove towards the palace in a carriage.

In front of Fengtian Hall, all civil and military officials had already arrived, and they bowed their heads and whispered to each other, discussing something.

Not long after, Li Ziye walked over, and everyone was watching, they came forward to greet him one after another, the limelight was unmatched.

The newly named Marquis has made great military exploits, and in less than a year, he has the possibility of becoming a king.

It is said that heroes come out of troubled times, but a young man like Buyihou who suddenly appeared like a comet and showed his sharpness still shocked the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty.

When the time comes, civil and military personnel enter the palace, the queue is neat, and the demeanor is respectful.

Not long after all the officials entered the palace, amidst the sharp voices of the servants, Shang Huang stepped forward.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." All the officials bowed their heads and bowed their heads.

"Flat body."

Shang Huang looked at the officials below and said calmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wen Wu got up and lowered his head to show respect.

"Your Majesty, Bu Yihou went to the north to fight, killed [-] enemies, and captured nearly [-] members of the Mobei royal family. Breaking through the siege of Shaoguan City, with such military exploits, he should be crowned King of Martial Arts!"

A courtier who is knowledgeable about current affairs mentioned the matter of Li Ziye becoming the king in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Today, many people believe that the matter of being crowned king by the commoner is a certainty. The only variable is just a matter of time. .

There is a gap in the position of King Wu, and Bu Yihou's military exploits are the most prominent among all generals, so it is justifiable to be named king.

Of course, there are also courtiers who don't think so.

The Great Shang Dynasty had been established for thousands of years, and the aristocratic system was deeply rooted. Many people were already dissatisfied with the title of Marquis of Commoner. Now, in less than a year, they wanted to go one step further and conferred the title of Marquis Wu. Some courtiers who were born in the nobility were very resistant to this.

"His Majesty."

Sure enough, when the matter of Li Ziye becoming king was brought up again, some courtiers came out to object.

"Bu Yihou has not been named a Marquis for a long time, although he has made more military exploits, but the time for Bu Yihou to lead troops is still short, and he may not be able to convince the public directly. I suggest that you can add the title of Bu Yihou first, and when the time is right, you can be crowned king. Late."

The courtier who spoke was a veteran of the three dynasties. He had no other skills, but he was able to survive, and survived two generations of great merchant emperors.

In front of the ministers, Li Ziye had heard the words of the old man in front of him, and his face showed admiration.

Amazing.

As expected of an old fox who has lived for nearly 100 years, the depth of the city is beyond the reach of ordinary little foxes.

According to the laws and regulations of the Great Merchant, every time he is crowned, his past military exploits will be cleared and recalculated. If he is crowned the throne, he will also be crowned as a king.

In the main hall, all the ministers also saw the key point and looked at each other, filled with emotion.

Older gingers are more spicy!

In front of the dragon chair, Emperor Shang watched the reactions of the ministers below, but said nothing.

He is very clear that it is not an easy task for a commoner to be crowned king.

However, this old guy is really ruthless.

"His Majesty."

At this moment, in the main hall, Li Ziye stepped out and said calmly, "I disagree!"
