The next morning, there was a storm in the court.

After the Jin Kingdom sent a letter to Nanyang to marry Duke Nanyang, Nanguo hurriedly sent a letter of credence.

The visitor was a young white-robed general. After clearly expressing his intention to marry Duke Nanyang, he said sonorously: "General Rong, the envoy of the Southern Kingdom, is already on his way here. After arriving in Shengjing, he will discuss this matter with His Majesty the Emperor in detail. Please consider it carefully, His Majesty the Emperor!”

The whole court was in an uproar, and the court seemed to have suddenly exploded.

"Isn't the empress in charge of the Southern Kingdom? Why did you join in the fun?"

"Yeah, this...are you sure you're not fooling us?"

"Is Duke Nanyang's reputation so famous? Even the most powerful southern country does not hesitate to send people to ask for his hand in marriage..."

But the person in power in the Southern Kingdom is Her Majesty the Empress, so the Empress cannot marry her father-in-law.

Why did Yan Li suddenly become the man that the two countries were vying to marry?

It is a blessing for this country to ask for a wife, but it is a disaster for the two countries to ask for a wife.

Well, what if the Three Kingdoms ask for marriage?

"Your Majesty!" A figure walked up to the palace quickly and knelt down on one knee, "Your Majesty, the letter of credence sent by Pegasus from Northern Xinjiang states that it is willing to negotiate peace with the country of Mu, on the condition that he asks to marry Duke Nanyang!"

After the words fell, all the ministers in the court suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere was stagnant and tense, as if on the verge of breaking out.

The young general from the Southern Kingdom turned his head and glanced at the speaker, and then bowed his hands to Emperor Zhaocheng: "As far as I know, Northern Xinjiang and the Kingdom of Jin are both ambitious countries, and they have provoked wars with the Kingdom of Mu all the year round. As long as the country is still a bit of a man, he will definitely not send his father-in-law to these two countries for marriage. "

As soon as these words came out, the air in the hall became more and more stagnant.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were as quiet as chickens.

The officials who suggested sending Yan Li to the Kingdom of Jin for marriage last time, headed by the prime minister, all looked embarrassed and ugly.

"What this young general said is right." King Jing seemed to have suddenly met his acquaintance, and he echoed loudly, "The Kingdom of Jin is ambitious, not to mention that it is impossible for them to cede the city for betrothal, even if the betrothal gift is true, we You should have some spirit and never associate with jackals!"

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Gu's face darkened visibly, but for some reason he seemed to have suddenly become mute and never spoke.

Xiao Changhai was frightened and ran to His Majesty, presented the document and handed it to Emperor Zhaocheng.

Emperor Zhaocheng read it in silence and asked the messenger in the palace: "When did this document arrive?"

"This morning." The letter soldier replied respectfully, "The person who sent the message could not arrive until three days later, but after hearing the news that the Jin Kingdom was seeking to marry Duke Nanyang, he accelerated his journey along the way and killed two fast horses, so he arrived two days ahead of schedule. When we arrived, we were already exhausted.”

The civil and military ministers looked at each other with extremely subtle expressions.

Emperor Zhaocheng put the document on the case and smashed it: "My dear friends, tell me who Duke Nanyang should marry?"

The ministers all bowed their heads and pretended to be dead.

The young general of the Southern Kingdom seemed to be here to enjoy the scenery. He looked around at the ministers in the palace with interest, his expression was leisurely and calm, and he was not in any hurry.

Emperor Zhaocheng's eyes fell on Prime Minister Gu's face: "Prime Minister, please tell me."

"Go back to the emperor." Prime Minister Gu bowed his hands and said, "It is related to the marriage between countries. I dare not say anything unreasonable, but I will let the emperor do it."

Mu Xiuyu stood silently in the front row of the courtiers, without any reaction.

"Your Majesty." Shen Yushi came out and bowed, "I thought that the three countries wanted to marry Duke Nanyang at the same time, so there must be something fishy about it."

Emperor Zhaocheng said: "Shen Aiqing, tell me."

"I dare to guess that it is a lie that they want to marry Duke Nanyang. It is true that the three countries want to split the country of Mu by forcing the marriage." Shen Yushi said respectfully, "If one of them agrees, the other two countries will definitely become angry. If we raise troops, the country of Mu will be in danger instantly."
