Hearing Qiu Lin's words, Zhang Yifeng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. King Dali is really a thoughtful person, but at the same time, he had a doubt in his heart.
"Did his brothers never suspect that he was pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?"
Out of curiosity, Zhang Yifeng asked about the doubts in his heart.
Qiu Lin shook his head and said with a sigh on his face: "No, although those princes are not as thoughtful as Your Majesty, they are not very good. Two princes once suspected that Your Majesty was pretending, so they tried to test him.
"
"How did they test it?" Zhang Yifeng asked curiously.
Qiulin took a deep breath, shook his head, and said: "We don't know exactly how the test was conducted, but there were rumors at the time that the two princes had insulted His Majesty in various ways, but His Majesty silently endured it."
"He is a man who can tolerate the intolerance of others!"
Zhang Yifeng nodded. There is no simple person who can become the leader of a country!
Qiulin continued: "Later, after a long period of attrition among several princes, they died and were injured, and their strength was not as good as before. At this time, His Majesty had accumulated a lot of experience and suddenly attacked, and he used thunderous means
, killed all his brothers, and finally sat on the throne of the king as he wished."
"His Majesty's imperial road was paved with blood. After His Majesty ascended the throne, he divided the nine followers who had followed him with the highest merit into princes to guard the territory of the kingdom for him."
After listening to Qiu Lin's words, Zhang Yifeng frowned tightly.
Judging from what Qiu Lin just said, King Dali was very scheming and there seemed to be nothing wrong with him.
But why did he feel in his heart that there must be some unknown secret hidden behind King Dali's previous reaction, and this secret was probably related to the safety of the kingdom.
"My dear nephew, do you still have doubts in your mind?" Qiu Lin saw Zhang Yifeng frowning and asked from the side.
Zhang Yifeng nodded and said: "I always have a feeling that the king must be hiding something, but now I have no clue what he is hiding."
After hearing Zhang Yifeng's words, Qiu Lin frowned and seemed to be deep in thought.
After a long time, Qiulin raised his head and suddenly said: "By the way, if you think there is a problem with His Majesty, I think it may be related to this matter."
Zhang Yifeng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly asked: "What's the matter?"
Qiu Lin shook his head, pointed at Xu Nantian, and said, "Brother Xu knows this matter better than me, so let him tell you."
With that said, Qiu Lin turned to Xu Nantian and said, "Brother Xu, tell your nephew what happened to the Marquis of Qingyi back then."
Zhang Yifeng noticed that when Qiu Lin said "Qing Yihou", Xu Nantian's pupils shrank suddenly, and there was a hint of guilt in his eyes.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yifeng couldn't help but become more curious. After knowing Xu Nantian for so long, this was the first time he saw such an expression on Xu Nantian's face.
"Father, who is the Marquis of Qingyi?" Hearing Zhang Yifeng's words, Xu Nantian's body trembled again. After a long time, he raised his head and sighed softly.
"When His Majesty ascended the throne, he divided the nine princes into enfeoffments. Among the nine princes, three princes were higher than the other six princes. Among these three princes, except me and Taiping Hou Zhong Chuyun, the other three princes were
That is Luo Tianshu, the Marquis of Qingyi."
Luo Tianshu?
Hearing this name, Zhang Yifeng frowned.
During the time he came to the Dali Kingdom, he also had a certain understanding of the country. He also knew all the nine princes, but among them, there was no one named Luo Tianshu.
Moreover, the title of Marquis of Qingyi is not among the nine major princes.
"Father, as far as I know, there is no such title as Marquis of Qingyi among the nine princes, right?"
Xu Nantian seemed to have known Zhang Yifeng would ask this question for a long time, and there was no look of surprise on his face.
I saw him sighing and said: "The current nine princes are actually not the original nine princes. When your Majesty first succeeded to the throne, he divided the nine princes. It was at that time that Qingyi Hou Luo Tianshu was divided into
He belongs to a prince, and he is also the most powerful among the nine princes."
Zhang Yifeng heard this and asked: "Is he stronger than you?"
Xu Nantian nodded, laughed at himself, and said, "Although I have always been conceited, in front of Luo Tianshu, I have to admit that he is better than me."
After listening to Xu Nantian's words, Zhang Yifeng couldn't help but become more curious.
He could see that when Xu Nantian talked about Luo Tianshu, admiration would often appear in his eyes.
In addition, Zhang Yifeng also saw a trace of regret in Xu Nantian's eyes. He was very familiar with this kind of look. It was the sympathy between heroes.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yifeng frowned and asked: "Later, why is the Marquis of Qingyi not among the nine major princes?"
Xu Nantian's expression changed, and his expression became extremely serious.
After a long time, he finally said: "The reason why he lost the title of Marquis of Qingyi is related to a woman, and this woman is his wife Lu Xinyue."
"Lu Xinyue?"
Zhang Yifeng frowned and asked, "Is there anything special about her?"
Xu Nantian nodded, a look of wonder suddenly appeared in his eyes, and said: "Back then, before Lu Xinyue became Luo Tianshu's wife, she was the most beautiful woman in the Dali Kingdom, and countless men regarded her as their dream
My lover, Your Majesty is no exception."
"At that time, His Majesty, who had just ascended the throne, was very high-spirited and looked down upon the world. In his opinion, all the beautiful things in the world should belong to him, even women."
Having said this, Xu Nantian paused and continued: "However, His Majesty is an extremely conceited person. Although he is attracted to Lu Xinyue, he does not intend to use force, because in his opinion, the only way to get
Only Lu Xinyue’s heart will reveal his greatness.”
Zhang Yifeng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that a generation of tycoons like King Dali would be trapped by love?
"He pursued Lu Xinyue?"
Xu Nantian nodded and said: "Yes, no one can stop what His Majesty has decided. After falling in love with Lu Xinyue, His Majesty concealed his identity and launched a crazy pursuit of Lu Xinyue, but he didn't know
The thing is, Lu Xinyue already had a sweetheart at that time."
Zhang Yifeng's heart moved and he asked: "Her sweetheart is Luo Tianshu, the Marquis of Qingyi?"
Xu Nantian nodded and said with a sigh on his face: "What a trick of fate. At that time, we did not expect that Luo Tianshu would actually know Lu Xinyue, and they had already made a lifelong commitment."
