Chapter 229: What an incisive flattery

 Everyone was shocked and stunned.

The main hall, which had been quarreling all the time, suddenly became silent.

The third prince of Xianbei, Lou Gan, looked at Fan Qingyao who was sitting next to the princess of Heshuo County without hesitation, with an ambiguous smile.

Tianyu looked in Ji Yuze's direction again.

Ji Yuze, “…”

 It’s really life-threatening.

He was so frightened that he pretended to bend down to pick up the chopsticks, avoiding Tianyu's gaze.

 Baili Fengming tightened his grip on the wine cup and raised his eyes to look in the direction of Fan Qingyao.

The fifth prince Baili Lingyu couldn't sit still. "After losing the battle, you still want to find someone to marry. Where is your Xianbei face?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard the fifth prince speak.

Could it be that these Five Highnesses are the ones who spoke out so obviously to defend Princess Qingping...

Lou Gan looked at Baili Lingyu and raised his lips and smiled, "The reason why Xianbei unconditionally agreed to any conditions offered by Xiliang is because the emperor of Xiliang has promised me as the vassal king. It is up to me, Xianbei, to choose the candidate for this marriage. I don’t know that the country in Xiliang is so open, but I don’t know where Princess Qingping and the fifth prince are going to be. Or have they been together for the rest of their lives?”

Hua Yaoting was already scolding with fierce eyes, and his anger was surging.

 It was exactly what he thought...

 The emperor is really so heartless!

 The ministers present looked ugly.

Putting aside everything else, Princess Qingping pays for the army and takes care of the country. How can she allow the Xianbei villains to do this here?

The collegial ministers of Xiliang naturally helped Lou Gan to fight for it, "Princess Qingping of Xiliang is just a benevolent emperor of Xiliang, but my third prince is a real dragon-born prince of Xianbei. Although he is a high-ranking prince of Xiliang, But since it is what His Highness the Third Highness wishes, I, Xianbei, won’t care too much.”

Zhou Chun, who was sitting opposite, also led the officials below to do their part, "My emperor has favored Xianbei to choose the candidate for marriage. It is my emperor's mercy. You don't even know what your face is, and you still try to marry me, Xiliang." Princess Qingping?”

The war of words between the collegial ministers of the two parties started again with quarrels and foaming at the mouth.

 In the midst of the noise, Baili Lingyu slapped the table and stood up, "Be careful what you say!"

Lou Gan stood up with a wine cup and stood in front of Baili Lingyu, "It seems that what he said was serious, it was just a joke. I hope the fifth prince of Xiliang won't take it to heart."

 The frivolous tone and playful emphasis, there is no sincerity in the apology!

With one hand, he blocked the wine cup from Lou Gan before Baili Lingyu could.

The back of the hand is white, with clear joints, and the slender fingers look like night-blooming cereus, elegant and intoxicating under the light.

The hand seemed to be just gently blocking the wine cup, but in fact, there was an undercurrent of internal strength. If Lou Gan hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been pushed aside on the spot.

Lou Gan raised his eyes in shock. The face in front of him was gentle and soft, and the smile in the corner of his eyes was as good as the spring breeze in March.

"Misfortune comes from the mouth, too many words will lead to misfortune. Life is full of grass and trees. In the early years, I heard that Xianbei is prone to chaos and evil. I never thought that I would see it with my own eyes today. However, the third prince of Xianbei still hopes to take care of himself. My emperor is sitting here. Xiliang is not Xianbei." Baili Fengming's voice was shallow and his smile was faint. He seemed to be giving good advice, but there was only murderous intent between the lines.

 Lou Gan was shocked.

 I never thought that the Prince of Xiliang would be so secretive.

Especially the cold murderous aura that kept coming towards him, it was obvious that he had murderous intentions towards him!

The eyes of each other met in the air, and they fought a silent battle.

Lou Gan knew that he would not get any benefit from his quarrel with the Xiliang Prince, so he turned around and left with a smile. He walked to the throne before bending his knees again.

“I, the third prince of Xianbei, would like to marry Princess Qingping of Xiliang, and I hope that the emperor of Xiliang will fulfill my wish.”

 The noisy hall fell silent as everyone was waiting for the emperor's decision.

The princesses sitting in the back looked at Fan Qingyao worriedly. As women, they naturally did not want Fan Qingyao, who was also a woman, to be harmed by the Xianbei people.

Princess Yun'an, the daughter of King Rui, smiled coldly, "Everyone is happy when Fan Qingyao marries her. If it weren't for the Hua family's indecisiveness and not killing the third prince of Xianbei on the spot, how could such a thing happen now? I say it’s best to send all the daughters of the Hua family to Xianbei for marriage!”

 Baili Rongze, who was sitting aside, heard this and looked at Princess Yun'an.

Princess Yun'an smiled at Baili Rongze without hesitation, her like-minded hatred was self-evident.

Emperor Yongchang rubbed the wine cup in his hand, and after a while he said with a steady smile, "What do you think, Princess Qingping?"

Hearing this, the other princesses were all filled with envy.

 Looking at Princess Yun'an who smiled at Baili Rongze again...

  Just now I was laughing so gloatingly, now I am so jealous!

 In history, emperors have always insisted on getting married. Which one has not insisted on having his own way?

 Even the noble princesses in the palace have no ability to influence their own marriages. Now the emperor actually takes the initiative to ask a little princess for her opinion...

This kind of face is simply not too high to give!

 Baili Lingyu bumped the imperial brother next to him with his arm, "Father is very jealous of the Hua family. If you marry Fan Qingyao to Xianbei at this time, are you afraid that he will join forces with those traitors in Xianbei to rebel against the Xiliang imperial power?"

Baili Fengming's eyes are deep.

Of course, my father could not let Ayao marry Xianbei and make Xianbei more powerful.

But the father knew better that neither Ayao nor General Hua would agree to a marriage with Xianbei, who was the enemy of the Hua family. After all, the outside world knew that all the men of the Hua family died at the hands of Lou Gan.

in this way…

If A Yao were to marry, the Hua family would not only become Xiliang sinners in name only, but also bear the infamy of marrying an enemy.

If Ayao doesn't get married, he will definitely beg his father to come forward for him, so that he can serve his father naturally.

 Those who are kings have the world but no country. Some of them control people's hearts to consolidate their status...

 Once, he only thought that his father was not worthy of being a father.

Now I realize that I am no longer worthy of being a king!

Hua Yaoting's whole body was tense and he hesitated to speak. His heart was full of anger and hatred.

Chaotang is no longer the one with awe-inspiring righteousness and lasting majesty.

Your Majesty is no longer the princess who protects the country and loves the people.

 It is easy to change the emperor's heart, but the emperor's heart is easy to change!

  The Hua family has been devoted to the Hua family for hundreds of years, but in the end they have been deeply grateful and have lost their gratitude. They are teachers and friends who live and die.

Since the emperor is no longer the emperor, why should the flower family be the flower family again? !

Even if Emperor Yongchang didn't look at Hua Yaoting, he knew the shock and grief in his heart.

 But these things are the most useless things to him now.

The Hua family's son is dead, and Hua Yaoting will have no military power even if he is reinstated. Looking at the entire Hua family, the only one left who can be used for his own purposes is Fan Qingyao.

To put it bluntly, in his eyes, everyone in the Hua family is just Emperor Yongchang trying to take advantage of Fan Qingyao's weakness.

"How are Princess Qingping's thoughts? Don't let the third prince of Xianbei wait and get impatient."

 The art of an emperor is the art of controlling people.

 It requires a combination of soft and hard measures, and more importantly, a combination of grace and power.

Lou Gan looked at Fan Qingyao and curled his lips frivolously, "I promise that as long as Princess Qingping marries Xianbei, she will not regret it."

Fan Qingyao stood up, lowered his eyes and raised his head slightly, his eyes were calm and calm, "Xiliang is changing with each passing day, shining with the sun and the moon. The literati have learned both Chinese and Western knowledge and are talented. The warriors have gone through fire and water without fear. The people of Xiliang are even more open-minded." , I am happy to help others, and it is I, the Emperor of Xiliang, who has created this. In the eyes of my servants, the Emperor is a benevolent king who cares for the people, a loving father who protects his children, and has the benevolence and righteousness to sacrifice everything for the safety of the people..."

Listening to these words, Lou Gan suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart.

Fan Qingyao glanced at Lou Gan, paused and then said, "My daughter has the honor of Princess Qingping. It is all given by the emperor. How can I dare to be so presumptuous in front of the emperor? I am willing to let the emperor make the decision. I will decide Comply with humility.”

 There was total silence in the main hall, you could hear a pin drop.

The ministers present wanted to take a small notebook and write it down.

Even Zhou Chun was convinced.

 This flattery...

 Perceptive!

Hua Yaoting woke up instantly and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "What Xiao Sun said is what I think. Everything is decided by the emperor!"

 Baili Lingyu was stunned, "Brother Huang, the person Fan Qingyao talked about and our father are actually two people, right?"

Baili Fengming raised her lips and smiled.

   Father’s calculations were very thorough, but he still lost by a small margin.

Ayao, regardless of the city's plans or verbal quarrels, the people sitting here are probably invincible.

Emperor Yongchang narrowed his eyes slightly, his heart heaving.

Fan Qingyao always talks about this. If he is forcing Fan Qingyao to make the decision on his own, isn't he clearly admitting that all the praises just now are false?

 The envoy from Xianbei is present. Emperor Yongchang cannot afford to disgrace this person!
