Chapter 3 Asking for a Kiss in the Hall
Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment, walked to the middle of the Mingde Hall, bowed to the King of Ming and said, "I am in love with Princess Lin Xiang. Please complete it."
Since the succession of the King of the Ming Dynasty, Xiao Yu can be said to have made the most achievements among his generals. He also has the intention to give Xiao Yu some rewards on the basis of the rewards he gave Xiao Yu, but he did not expect that Xiao Yu would ask him for marriage at this time.
Xiao Yu made great achievements in the battle, and the Ming king also wanted to invite him to be his son-in-law. However, he did not want to marry Li Linxiang, his favorite princess, to Xiao Yu.
In the heart of the King of Ming, Bai Wenxuan is qualified to be Li Linxiang's son-in-law.
In some wild historical miscellaneous records, kings have the absolute right to do whatever they want; but in fact, except for a few very stupid tyrants, kings are also very careful when acting.
The king of Ming had the intention to refuse Xiao Yu, but at this time, he did not dare to simply refuse Xiao Yu's marriage.
Xiao Yu came to ask for marriage when he made great achievements. If the King of Ming simply refused Xiao Yu's marriage request, it would definitely chill the hearts of many soldiers who fought abroad.
When fighting in the world, the king is especially afraid that what he does will chill the hearts of the soldiers.
After thinking about it for a long time, Ming Wang still couldn't think of how to pick up Xiao Yu's words.
Many courtiers familiar with the Ming Dynasty in the Mingde Hall saw the difficulties of the Ming Dynasty, but in a short period of time, no one stood up to relieve the Ming Dynasty.
In a somewhat depressing atmosphere, time slowly passed half a cup of tea.
Feeful that the atmosphere in the Mingde Hall is getting older and more depressing. Marquis Jing Ming coughed dryly, walked to Xiao Yu, bowed to King Ming and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Lin Xiang is peerless, and there are many heroes who have admiration for him as much as General Xiao. If your majesty easily responds to General Xiao, will you not let those who treat Princess Lin Xiang. Is Yingjie, who has a loving heart, disappointed? As the elders of these heroes, I also ask your majesty to think about it for a period of time before responding to General Xiao.
As soon as Jing Minghou's words fell, the King of Ming answered, "What Aiqing said is extremely true! In recent years, there have been many people who want to kiss Lin Xiang, but they have all been rejected by the king. If I directly agree to General Xiao now, I will indeed be a little unfair to those people.
As a king, the king of the Ming Dynasty has his own taboos, and Xiao Yu, as a minister, also has his own taboos.
In the case that the King of Ming has given an answer in the future, if Xiao Yu asks for marriage at this time, he will become the king with merit.
After a moment of hesitation, Xiao Yu nodded gently.
Just as Xiao Yu was about to retreat, Li Lintang's voice sounded in the Mingde Hall.
"Father, when General Xiao entered the city, the seventh sister once sent a secret word to General Xiao, thinking that General Xiao would ask General Xiao to ask his father in the palace. The seventh sister and General Xiao are really in love, and ask your father to complete it.
Everyone in the hall obviously didn't expect Li Lintang to interrupt. After Li Lintang's words fell, almost everyone in the hall frowned, including the King of Ming and Xiao Yu.
"What's good for the princess to marry me? Why did he speak for me?
Li Lintang just sat on a throne close to Wangtai on the left, and now he stands up, next to Bai Wenxuan.
When looking at Li Lintang, Xiao Yu naturally saw Bai Wenxuan.
Seeing Bai Wenxuan, Xiao Yu's heart moved and figured out why Li Lintang helped him.
Li Lintang helped Xiao Yu not to attract Xiao Yu, but to alienate the relationship between Bai Wenxuan and Li Linchang.
Bai Wenxuan has never concealed his good impression of Li Linxiang. If Li Linxiang marries Xiao Yu, with Bai Wenxuan's arrogant nature, he will definitely not support Li Linchang in the process of competing with Li Lintang for the position of prince.
For a long time, Bai Wenxuan has been close to Li Linchang and Li Linxiang, and Li Lintang can't find a way to get Bai Wenxuan at all.
In this situation, as long as Li Lintang can alienate the close relationship between Bai Wenxuan and Li Linchang, he will win once in the secret battle of the throne.
Li Linxiang knew that the secret fight between Li Lintang and Li Linchang could be said to be well known. Therefore, when she went to the gate with Xiao Yu before, she deliberately sent a message to Xiao Yu, creating a great opportunity for Li Lintang to alienate Bai Wenxuan and Li Linchang.
After figuring out why Li Lintang helped him speak, Xiao Yu suppressed all kinds of thoughts in her heart and quietly waited for the King of Ming to speak.
Xiao Yu has no intention of participating in the position of the crown prince of Li Lintang and Li Linchang. However, since Li Lintang has pulled him into this matter now, he will not be timid.
After a while of silence, the king of Ming looked at Li Lintang with a calm face, and then at Xiao Yu with no expression on his face. He smiled at Xiao Yu and said, "I am a father, and I am also the king of one side. Even if I intend to complete you and Lin Xiang, I still have to worry about other heroes who are interested in Lin Xiang."
"I understand!"
King Ming nodded, looked at Xiao Yu's eyes and said, "I want to make an appointment with you!"
"What is your majesty's order?"
"In the next month, I will give those heroes who are interested in Lin Xiang a chance to challenge you. If those heroes are defeated by you, I will make a marriage contract with Lin Xiang for you in a month."
"A competition for marriage?"
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, bowed back and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After Xie En, Xiao Yu will retreat.
At this time, the king of Ming said to Xiao Yu again, "When no one challenges you, you can go to the collection pavilion to read all kinds of cultivation classics."
At the beginning, Xiao Yu paid the price of a divine bow to stay in the pavilion for three days, but now Xiao Yu has the opportunity to stay in the pavilion for a month.
Compared with all kinds of treasures, the Ming King, who is dedicated to unifying the world, obviously estimates more on combat achievements.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
He bowed and thanked him again, and Xiao Yu retreated.
After Xiao Yu retreated, the king of Ming called Situ Ming out again and asked him what reward he wanted.
As a surrendered general, Situ Ming naturally did not dare to ask the king of Ming to give him any reward.
Situ Ming didn't want it, but the king of Ming also gave Situ Ming a mansion as a reward.
After appreciating Situ Ming again, the king of Ming asked people to set up a banquet in this Mingde Hall to celebrate Xiao Yuqing's achievements.
When Xiao Yu asked for marriage just now, the King of Ming did not want to agree; but on the banquet, the King of Ming showed great enthusiasm for Xiao Yu.
At the beginning of the banquet, King Ming called Xiao Yu to the king's stage.
He said something of appreciation and encouragement to Xiao Yu, and the king of Ming asked about some things that Xiao Yu had led the army in the past two years.
Although Xiao Yu has not returned to Mingdu in the past two years, the King of Ming knows many details of Xiao Yu's war, and it is precisely because the King of Ming knows Xiao Yu's leading troops to fight in the past two years that many doubts arise in his heart.
Before and after the Battle of Yaocheng, why did the general of Yaocheng seem to have changed into a different person? In the battle of Guanjiazhen, why did Mr. Yin Jiu, who was originally allied with Gao Quan, take action against Gao Quan in Guan Yunxia? In the battle of Dongzhao City, how did Xiao Yu, who had been staying in Dongzhao City, know that Tian Ai and Ji Xuan would sneak up on Guanjia Town?
During the half year led by Xiao Yugang, there was a strange thing in every victory of Xiao Yu.
If it hadn't been for Xiao Yu's great achievements, the King of Ming would even suspect that Xiao Yu was King Shang. His victories were given to him by the forces under King Shang.
Xiao Yu once thought that others would ask him about some strange places in the war he experienced. He also figured out how to answer. Therefore, he dealt with every question asked by the King of Ming with a very reasonable lie.
The King of Ming asked Xiao Yu some details of his war, and then asked about some things that many practitioners had entered the remnants of the mountain.
"How strong is Xiao Tianzan and that Huaguang Buddha?"
"How strong is it?"
Xiao Yu smiled bitterly and looked at the Ming king and replied, "I don't know how strong they are, but I can feel that they may not need a move to kill me."
"So strong?"
Hearing Xiao Yu's description of Xiao Tianzan and the strength of Huaguang Buddha, the face of the King of Ming also showed a surprised look.
"It's very strong! However, they are all out of their wits now.
The King of Ming nodded and said to himself, "Even if they have lost their souls, they used to be masters of the realm of heaven and man, and have felt the feeling beyond reincarnation."
Seeing that the King of Ming was very yearning for the realm of heaven and man, Xiao Yu arched his hand and smiled, "I believe that with your majesty's peerless talent, he will definitely be able to cultivate to the realm of heaven and man every day."
When the king of Ming heard the words, he shook his head with a smile and said, "Although I think that my talent is not bad, I also know that it is difficult for me to cultivate to the realm of heaven and man."
After a while of silence, the King of Ming asked Xiao Yu again, "How is your relationship with the witch priest?"
Xiao Yu thought for a moment and replied to the king of Ming, "I don't know how to say the relationship between me and the high priest."
After saying this, Xiao Yu told everything that had happened between him and Xuanshuang.
After listening to Xiao Yu's words, the King of Ming thought for a while and muttered, "The high priest has a good impression of you, but the practitioners of the Nine Heavenly Sects despised the practices outside the Nine Heavenly Sects, and she should not have deliberately made friends with you."
"After they are heavenly beings, it is normal to be a little arrogant."
"After heaven and man? According to the agreement of the two heavenly people, the emperor Xuanyuan and the immortal Buddha, the masters of the heavenly realm will not participate in all kinds of disputes between the secular world and the cultivation world. Not counting those masters of the heavenly realm who can't take action at will, the power of the emperor is the strongest force in the world.
Xiao Yu didn't know how to answer Ming Wang's words, so after nodding, she quietly waited for Ming Wang to speak again.
After asking about Canshan, the King of Ming did not ask Xiao Yu any more questions, but discussed the matter of cultivation with Xiao Yu.
Although Xiao Yu has heard Xiao Tianzan, a former master of the heavenly realm, talk about many mysterious ways of cultivation during this period, he still get a lot of benefits from the way of cultivation taught by the King of Ming.
When Xiao Yu received the reward, it was almost noon; but at the end of the banquet, it was already dark outside.
After the banquet, all the literary ministers and generals left, but Xiao Yu and Fan Xiaojin were left in the palace by the King of Ming.
