Chapter 369(1/2)
Come on, something happened to the prince. When the prince comes back, all of us will lose our heads!
In the southwest border of Dashang, horses galloped, and a group of cavalry galloped past. The general at the head looked solemn, and led his men to rush out of the country.
Princess Qingqing is missing, and the entire Southwest Palace is going crazy.
What's even more troublesome is that the Southwest King was recalled to the capital by the imperial court not long ago, and the prince also went with him. Now the entire Southwest Palace is leaderless, with only the princess in charge. Faced with this unexpected situation, she has lost her usual calmness.
Previously, many people in the Southwest Palace had been rumoring that the Southwest King was summoned to the capital this time because the royal family intended to marry the palace to stabilize the relationship between the royal family and the Southwest Palace.
Outside the southwest border of Dashang, there is a Buddha from the West and a temple, which is almost equal to a country.
Buddhism, like the Heavenly Mandate Temple in the Western Regions, has won over too many believers with its faith. The Buddha from the West in the Green Lantern Temple is one of the most powerful people in the world and is regarded as a human Buddha by believers in the world.
.
Under the influence of the Buddha from the West, countless temples sprang up outside the Qingdeng Temple, with millions of Buddhists forming a Buddhist kingdom.
This is a huge threat to big businessmen.
The existence of the Southwest Palace is a shock to this Buddhist country.
It is for this reason that the Southwest Palace was so valued by the imperial court.
It is said that the prince who marries the Southwest Palace this time will most likely be named a prince.
Outside the southwest border, King Wu's cavalry galloped past, causing dust and sand to fly. It can be seen that the disappearance of Princess Qingqing made these battle-experienced soldiers a little panicked.
After all, Princess Qingqing's safety now concerns more than just the Southwest Palace.
In Liyuan, the capital of Great Shang, in the west chamber, Li Ziye was practicing his sword. Not long after, a young man came quickly and said respectfully, Master, we have found out.
Within the red line formation, Li Ziye stepped out, jumped out, and asked, "What's your identity?"
That day, when he was rushing back from the birthday banquet of the Yin family, he was frightened by a group of cavalry. In this big commercial capital, there were not many people who could mobilize cavalry, so he wanted to know who the leader was.
Who exactly is the young general?
The Crown Prince of Southwest, Zhu Qingge! replied the young man.
Prince of Southwest?
Hearing this, Li Ziye had a strange look on his face and said, haven't he and the Southwest King been guarding the southwest border all the time? Why did they return to the capital?
The Southwest King, like the Xuanwu King and the Rakshasa Girl, were among the Ten Martial Kings. However, the Southwest King was not in the capital all year round. Instead, he guarded the borders to deter the Buddhist kingdom, which was expanding faster and faster.
Report back to the Young Master, the King of Southwest has also returned to the capital.
The young man responded respectfully. According to the spies, the Southwest King returned to Beijing this time to discuss the marriage between Princess Qingqing and the royal family.
Marriage between the royal family and the Southwest Palace?
Li Ziye was shocked when he heard about it, and continued to ask, which prince it is, have you found out?
The influence of the Southwest Palace is not comparable to that of ordinary Wu Wang. If any prince can marry with the Southwest Palace, he may be directly named a prince.
No.
The boy shook his head and said, "Everyone in the court supported which prince, and for a while, it was difficult for Your Majesty to make a decision."
Got it, let's go down first. If you have any news, report it immediately! Li Ziye suppressed the turmoil in his heart, waved his hand and said.
Yes! The young man accepted the order and left quickly.
Brother Li is very concerned about this matter? Bai Wangyu asked curiously from the side.
certainly.
Li Ziye grinned and said, "If you find out the news earlier, you know which prince can be appointed as the crown prince, so I can hug him."
Bai Wangyu wanted to slap himself, why did he take what this fool said!
To be honest, Lao Bai, which one of the four princes do you think is most likely to marry Princess Qingqing?
Li Ziye took out a century-old radish from his arms, started to nibble on it, and asked with a gossipy look on his face.
Not sure.
Bai Wangyu shook his head and said, Confucianism rarely interferes with court matters. As for which prince will marry the Nengnan Palace in the end, this can only be decided by your Majesty.
Boring.
Li Ziye took a bite of the radish in his hand and said, "Of course I know this matter has to be decided by the emperor, but I'm just curious, so I can just take a guess."
Don't criticize the affairs of the imperial court. Bai Wangyu said.
I bet the third prince to have 100 great herbs!
Li Ziye gestured with half a radish in his hand and urged, hurry up and take a guess.
Bai Wangyu hesitated for a moment, but still said, I think it is the eldest prince.
The eldest prince?
Hearing this, Li Ziye looked surprised. He looked around and whispered, "It's not disrespectful to the disabled. After all, the eldest prince's legs and feet are somewhat inconvenient. How could the Southwest King agree to this marriage? Lao Bai, don't you want to do this?"
Did you lose to me on purpose?
Just intuition.
Bai Wangyu smiled lightly and said, Brother Li also said it was just a random guess.
No, I want to raise the stakes.
Li Ziye immediately changed his mind and said, two hundred, two hundred great medicinal plants.
This is picking up money!
Can.
Bai Wangyu nodded indifferently and responded.
Young Master, the eldest grandson is here.
At this time, another boy came quickly and reported.
The eldest grandson Nanqiao?
Li Ziye suddenly became energetic and said, My Medicine King has arrived!
After saying that, Li Ziye didn't care about the bet with Little Red Riding Hood and walked quickly out of the west wing.
In the front hall, eldest grandson Nanqiao was sitting on his seat drinking tea. There was a wooden box on the table, and the fragrance of medicine was faintly visible.
As soon as Li Ziye entered the hall, he couldn't take his eyes away. He was even more excited than the girl who saw Chi Guoguo.
Finally, finally got it!
Li Ziye burst into tears, it was so difficult.
Mr. Li, I haven't seen you for a few days, do you miss me so much?
The eldest grandson Nanqiao looked at the young man with blazing eyes in the hall and said with a half-smile.
Li Ziye came back to his senses, looked at the troubled woman in front of her, grinned and said, "It's like three autumns after not seeing her for one day. I was really excited when I heard that Sister Nan Qiao was coming."
I think it’s not me you want to see, is it?
The eldest grandson Nanqiao picked up the wooden box on the table, shook it, and said with a soft smile, Mr. Li just said a word, but my legs were broken when I ran away. In order to get this medicine king, the queen alone did not know.
How many trips did you make?
How could it be!
Li Ziye smiled and said, Sister Nan Qiao and the Empress are sisters of the same mother, and the Empress will definitely not refuse what Sister Nan Qiao wants.
Oh.
The eldest grandson Nanqiao smiled softly and said, you have indeed schemed against your sister. Li Ziye, you are so brave, even the queen of the dynasty dares to scheme against you.
Sister Nan Qiao, don’t talk nonsense.
Li Ziye said righteously, "From the beginning to the end, I was just doing business with Sister Nan Qiao, so how could I get involved with the Queen?"
Forget it, I can't talk to you.
The eldest grandson, Nanqiao, rolled his eyes at the former, threw the wooden box in his hand over, and said, "The things have been brought to you. When will the cooperation between our two families begin?"
Hasn't it already started?
Li Ziye took the wooden box and put it on the table beside him, and said with a smile, I have a hundred and twenty confidence in my sister, and I have already been preparing to cooperate with the eldest grandson's family.
Little guy, why don't you just hand over the rest of the Li family's business to my eldest grandson's family.
Changsun Nanqiao took the opportunity to say that the current business alliance had just lost a batch of goods and was severely weakened. Something like that happened to the Yin family again. Now they are very busy and there are constant frictions between the two families. If the Li family handed over the business to
They are inevitably in a lot of trouble.
What Sister Nan Qiao said is reasonable, but...
Li Ziye said something, changed the subject, and said with a grin, "After all, I have some friendship with His Highness the Third Prince. His Highness has recommended these two companies to me again and again, so I can't deny His Highness's face too much."
Third prince? Ha.
Upon hearing this, the eldest grandson Nanqiao smiled calmly, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said, Mr. Li still doesn't know that the king of Southwest came to Beijing to discuss marriage with the royal family?
To be continued...
