After Li Yanghou figured this out, he came out, bowed to Emperor Chengzong, and asked:

"Your Majesty, do you want to discuss my daughter's marriage?

Shouldn’t it be me who decides on my daughter’s marriage? "

Emperor Chengzong sneered and said: "Chu Aiqing, please be patient. Aren't I asking for your opinion?"

Marquis Liyang turned around, faced the ministers and said:

"I didn't agree on my daughter's marriage. I'm going to take a look at it today. Who dares to make unreasonable comments?"

Ye Linxuan retorted: "Master Hou, now the princess's marriage has involved the diplomatic relations between the two countries. It is no longer just a matter for your Chu family."

Marquis Liyang rolled his eyes and asked, "Then Dongyi wants to marry your mother as a concubine tomorrow. Should we also come to the court to discuss it?"

Ye Linxuan said angrily: "Chu Ge, don't mess around!"

Prime Minister Wang tugged on Li Yanghou's sleeve and said, "Shilang Ye's mother has been killed by the Dongyi people."

Ye Linxuan is from Jiaozhou. Seventeen years ago, Dongyi invaded Jiaozhou and massacred the city. Most of the Ye family died in that disaster.

Because of this, no one would ever suspect that Ye Linxuan had something to do with the Dongyi people.

Ye Linxuan always advocated peace in his strategy against Xirong, but against Dongyi, he advocated war.

This time he jumped out to speak, purely to disgust the Chu family, and of course Lu Zhaoling was behind it.

Marquis Liyang sneered: "Since your mother died at the hands of the Dongyi people, then marry your daughter to the Dongyi people!"

Liu Yushi stood up and shouted: "How brave Chu Ge! How dare you insult the imperial concubine! You should be punished for the crime."

Only then did everyone come to their senses. Ye Linxuan's only legitimate daughter was Concubine Ye Guifei in the palace.

Upon closer inspection, Li Yanghou's words are indeed a bit wrong.

Emperor Chengzong's face also became ugly.

However, Marquis Liyang was not weak at all. He took off his official robe in court, revealing scars all over his body. He turned around and shouted at the civil servants in the palace:

"Don't you want to punish me for roaring in court? Don't you want to punish me? Come on, anyone who wants to be executed can come up to me!

There are a total of 57 injuries, large and small, on my body, all for the sake of this country and the people of Li country.

Today, I was injured again for my daughter, so what? "

Liu Yushi and Ye Linxuan were forced to retreat by Li Yanghou.

The eyes of all the ministers fell on the naked upper body of Marquis Li Yang.

The bronze skin was criss-crossed with knife wounds, arrow wounds, and gunshot wounds...

Some conscientious ministers had mist in their eyes.

There were also some ministers who wanted to agree with the emperor and Ye Linxuan's proposal, but under the gaze of Marquis Liyang, they trembled and lowered their heads.

Chu Ye understood that his eldest brother was risking his life.

The Chu family is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but the Chu family also has a bottom line.

Family is their bottom line.

If the emperor wanted to trade Chu Tianjiao's marriage today, it would definitely touch the bottom line of the Chu family.

Chu Ye stepped out of the queue and stood beside his eldest brother, pointing to a scar on Marquis Liyang's waist and said:

"Everyone, this scar was from the first time my eldest brother went on an expedition with his father in the 21st year of Xuanhe, and was injured by Shangguan Zhao, the former crown prince of Dongyi."

Pointing to another scar, he said: "This scar was from the year of Yuanqing, when His Majesty had just ascended the throne. My eldest brother was injured by the Xirong people when he was stationed on the western border."

"These three wounds were injured in the second year of Yuanqing when the Xirong people invaded the territory. My eldest brother led the troops to stop them and fought with the Xirong warrior Hatu for [-] rounds..."

Chu Ye told the court the origin of each scar on Li Yanghou's body.

There are no scars here. This is simply the history of the war between China and the country for nearly 20 years.

Finally, Chu Ye straightened his back and asked: "Everyone, do you want my Chu family to bleed and sweat, and at the same time, do you want our Chu family to sell their sons and daughters?

If this is the case, then the next time the Xirong invades, the princes will go to the front line to defend themselves against the enemy! "

All the ministers in the court waved their hands, "Lord Chu, your words are serious."

Emperor Chengzong initially wanted to scold Marquis Liyang, but when he saw the scars all over Marquis Liyang's body and heard Chu Ye's questioning, he felt a little blushing for no reason.

He calmly comforted Marquis Li Yang and said: "Chu Aiqing, put your clothes back on quickly, I didn't say I would punish you.

I didn’t say that I agreed to the Dongyi people’s marriage, I just let everyone discuss it. "

Marquis Liyang turned to look at Lu Yunkui, his eyes no longer showed the respect they had in the past, like a lake of stagnant water, with no waves visible.

This made Lu Yunkui very flustered, and he quickly promised:

"Chu Aiqing, if you object, I will naturally not marry your eldest daughter to Dongyi."

Marquis Liyang sneered in his heart, but his face remained calm.

He slowly put on his official uniform, raised his hands to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, a scholar may be killed but not humiliated. I only wish that your Majesty will not discuss my daughter's marriage with the enemy."

Emperor Chengzong waved his hands repeatedly: "No discussion, no discussion!"

The matter seemed to have ended in the court.

But after the disbandment of the dynasty, the news that the Dongyi people were willing to pay three cities and one million taels of silver to marry Chu Tianjiao spread like the wind to the streets of Shangjing City.

The common people had just heard a lot about Chu Tianjiao's heroic achievements, and many people already regarded Chu Tianjiao as a god of war like the old Marquis Liyang.

There are crowded gathering places such as Youranju, Fanlou, Jinghonglou, and Yulouchun that lead public opinion. Many people in Shangjing City have now become "fans of General Chu."

Suddenly hearing the news that the Dongyi people wanted to marry General Chu, the "general fans" cursed one after another:

"Little Dongyi thief, what do you want to eat?

Wouldn’t our General Chu lead his own troops to take these three cities?

One million taels of silver, can't our Chu family army go to Dongyi to rob it ourselves?

If you want to marry our General Wu Sheng, there is no way! "

Of course, there are also many people who say that it is a benefit that can be obtained without abolishing a soldier. It is just a matter of marrying a princess, which is quite cost-effective.

Then many people who put forward this view were beaten by the newly-emerged "General Chu fans".

Among the Imperial College, there was an overwhelming opposition to the marriage proposal. These students were relatively clear-headed and basically understood that this was the counter-intentional plan of the Dongyi people.

Wang Xingran was already at home waiting to get married. Because of this incident, he hurriedly came back to the world, led the Qingsong Club, and began to spread the word that this was a trick of the Dongyi people, and everyone should not be fooled.

There was a lot of noise outside. Chu Tianjiao sat leisurely in the Qingsong Courtyard and praised Chu Qingyan:

"Auntie, you are really clever and clever. Fortunately, you wrote those words in advance and boasted about me everywhere.

If the people only regard me as the eldest lady of the Chu family, most of them will definitely agree with me getting married.

Now, they want me to go to war! "

Chu Qingyan said with a smile: "The news in the court spread so fast, there must be someone behind it.

The Dongyi people are not that capable in Shangjing.

We have to find out who is behind this. "

When Lu Zhaoling heard the news that Shun Xin had heard from the streets, he became furious:

"Why? Why do even those profit-seeking untouchables help Chu Tianjiao?

Shouldn't they prefer to sell Chu Tianjiao to Dongyi in exchange for profits? "

Lu Zhaoling was puzzled. How could such a perfect plan fail?
