Good! My stupid son finally rebelled!

Ten war horses?

This is going to cause trouble.

Ling Tian's heart sank. War horses were already scarce in Daqian. Compared with Northern Zhou, even the worst war horse in Northern Zhou was a good horse in Daqian.

The Daqian royal family had always wanted to collect war horses from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but was always rejected. However, at today's wedding banquet, there was such a generous gesture. Tuoba Ke's strategy of sowing discord was truly a masterpiece.

really!

When the singing ended, the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes turned towards the entrance.

Tuoba Ke, dressed in formal attire, strode into the venue with the Northern Zhou delegation.

high tower.

Emperor Wu put down the wine glass in his hand, and a hint of frost flashed across his calm eyes: "What a great Tuoba Ke, he actually prepared such a birthday gift for the sixth son."

"And he specifically sent it to Lao Liu."

"Now the whole court has a reason to impeach Lao Liu."

Tuoba Ke ignored everyone's gaze, walked forward slowly, put his small hand on his chest, bent down and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Daqian, Tuoba Ke is sending ten war horses today as a gift to the Sixth Prince."

"Congratulations to His Highness the Sixth Prince on his wedding."

"I hope Your Majesty will not refuse."

Emperor Wu chuckled and said, "Princess Three, since it is your good intention, it depends on whether the Sixth Prince accepts it."

Emperor Wu was very cunning and threw this difficult problem to Ling Tian.

Send a proposition!

Do not accept and damage the friendship between the two countries.

If he accepts, he will be impeached. Then a group of old guys in the court will say that he has the intention of raising an army. Wouldn't he be unable to clear himself even if he jumps into the Yellow River?

Tuoba Ke obviously knew the key point, and said with a smile: "Sixth Prince, today's ten war horses were specially selected by me when I left Northern Zhou. Not to mention that they can travel a thousand miles a day."

"It can travel hundreds of miles a day, and it can be easily controlled."

"It is rumored that His Highness will go to the border of Daqian after his marriage. With these ten war horses, His Highness can save a lot of trouble."

Tuoba Ke's words were soft, but they were as sharp as a blade that could kill people without shedding blood.

"Bad bitch."

Ling Tian cursed in his heart: "You are always plotting against me. It seems that the lesson I gave you before was too lenient."

"You wait for me."

"I will definitely spank you next time."

Seeing Ling Tian not speaking, Chu Wan'er mistakenly thought that Ling Tian didn't know how to respond, so she gently moved closer to Ling Tian and said, "Why are you silent? Aren't you usually quite talkative?"

"Tiger girl, you just don't trust your husband?" Ling Tian whispered, "Just wait and see how your husband will trick this Northern Zhou princess into bleeding."

Chu Wan'er frowned slightly, a trace of anger flashed through her heart: "How dare you scold me? Let's see how you end up. Don't become a laughing stock in the eyes of everyone."

Ling Tian smacked his lips, a smile formed on his face, but he did not answer Tuoba Ke, instead he looked at Emperor Wu cautiously: "Father."

"Can I really tell the truth?"

idiot!

Emperor Wu cursed inwardly, feeling extremely disappointed: "Sixth Brother, you can say whatever you want. Today is your big day, and I can forgive you."

Emperor Wu gave Ling Tian a life-saving talisman, and at the same time shut up all the civil and military officials in the court, so that there would be all kinds of impeachments, which would be a headache.

"Hehe." Ling Tian did not forget to emphasize: "Father, your words are not joking."

Emperor Wu's mouth twitched with anger, and he wanted to slap Ling Tian, ​​especially the smile on his face, which made people feel weird.

Ling Yu kicked Ling Xu's heel, and the latter understood. He stepped forward and saluted Emperor Wu, then snorted: "Sixth brother, how do you talk to the emperor?"

"Father is my Great Lord."

"You actually questioned our father. Do you still have any moral principles in your eyes?"

Stupid!

When Ling Tian saw Ling Xu coming out, he cursed in his heart, saying that he didn't even know he was being used as a gun.

"Third brother, you leave." Emperor Wu said softly, "This is a gift from the Northern Zhou delegation to Sixth Brother. It is Sixth Brother's right to decide how to deal with it."

Emperor Wu put the words to Ling Tian's mouth, "These are the things of the Northern Zhou delegation, so don't touch them."

Ling Tian understood the deep meaning and looked at Tuoba Ke in front of him: "Third Princess, you said you sent ten war horses, can you take them out and let us see them first?"

"What if they send a bunch of junk? Wouldn't that be a humiliation to me?"

Fell into a trap.

Tuoba Ke looked down on him: "Waste is waste after all. You can't even see through a small plot to sow discord, and you still want to say something about guarding the border."

"What do you mean by risking one's life to protect the country?"

"It's really embarrassing."

The last trace of vigilance in Tuoba Ke's heart also completely disappeared: "Don't worry, Your Highness. Ten war horses are waiting outside the door. They will enter as soon as you give the order."

Seeing Emperor Wu's approval, Tuoba Ke waved her hand and said, "Bring it up."

Outside the palace gate.

The news is out.

Soon, ten tall war horses slowly appeared in everyone's eyes. At first glance, they looked very majestic, and their healthy manes were particularly eye-catching against the setting sun.

One of the white war horses was particularly proud. At a glance, Ling Tian was attracted by it: "What a handsome war horse, with such strong limbs, even in the previous life, it was an excellent stallion."

“It’s also extremely rare.”

"If I could ride this horse on the battlefield, I would be a very handsome man."

The long-lost blood in Ling Tian's body began to boil at this moment.

Tuoba Ke caught Ling Tian's fleeting surprise and said, "Sixth Prince, do you like these ten war horses?"

"Especially the white horse among them, it is a fierce horse rarely seen in the Northern Zhou Dynasty for a hundred years."

"Giving such a warhorse to Your Highness today is a perfect match for a hero."

Tuoba Ke's words almost caused a commotion in the court.

Hero, is he worthy of it?

This is so hilarious.

Ling Yu was also holding back his laughter in his heart: "Fool, this Tuoba Ke obviously wants to humiliate Lao Liu."

"Today is the sixth brother's wedding. If we can't even handle this little warhorse, it would be a disgrace to the royal family."

"When the time comes, the emperor will get angry and the good days of Old Six will be over."

"You still want to go to the border, but it is undoubtedly a foolish dream. After all, you can't even ride a warhorse steadily. If you go to the border, it will only make the soldiers there feel disappointed."

Xiao Yuanshan realized that something was wrong. He had already promised Concubine Xiao to help Liu Zi go to the border, but after thinking about it, Xiao Yuanshan chose not to say more: "Although the ghost face is powerful."

"After all, he is not worthy of being on the stage. If I can use Tuoba Ke to make His Majesty completely disappointed and leave Old Six in Kyoto, this boy will have a hard time achieving anything."

Chu Wan'er also saw through Tuoba Ke's intentions at this time, and subconsciously came behind Ling Tian and nudged Ling Tian with her elbow: "Don't be fooled, this is a trap set by Tuoba Ke."

Ling Tian laughed sarcastically: "Tuoba Ke, these ten war horses are indeed good, especially the white horse. Your Highness likes it very much."

"only……"

"How about it." Tuoba Ke said with a smile: "Your Highness Sixth Prince, if you have anything to say, you may as well speak directly."

"Hehe." Ling Tian grinned: "Tuoba Ke, as the third princess of Northern Zhou, your every word and action represents the Northern Zhou royal family. Today is a happy day for this prince."

"You only gave ten war horses?"

"Isn't this an humiliation to my Highness?"

"What you said is that the white horse is strong and fierce, and no one in the Northern Zhou Dynasty can tame it. Is this an insult to the fact that no one in Daqian can do that?"

"Too little?"

Tuoba Ke laughed in his heart: "Everyone knows that my Northern Zhou has abundant water and grass, and produces many fine horses. As long as Your Highness can tame the white horse personally, I am willing to write a letter of divorce and give you a thousand fine horses."

Everyone was stunned when they saw a thousand good horses. If there were really a thousand good horses, it would be enough to train a strong cavalry. In the era of cold weapons, a charge of the cavalry was enough to cause heavy losses to the enemy.

Emperor Wu also frowned, and he was also waiting for Ling Tian's reply.

To be precise, this can be considered as a test for Ling Tian. If he only knows how to talk big but has no ability to solve problems, then how can such a waste have the face to be a descendant of the royal family?

Not to mention going to the border to die.

Ling Tian raised his eyebrows: "Third Princess, you are too stingy. Why are you only giving a thousand good horses?"

"Then what do you want?" Tuoba Ke sneered in his heart. It was really shameful to waste time on a loser.

"Simple."

Ling Tian was not polite: "At least five thousand."

"what?"

Tuoba Ke almost couldn't stand still. Five thousand good horses, as long as they were trained properly, would be enough to sweep across an area.

Everyone at the scene was completely stunned, and many ministers even began to whisper, "What is the Sixth Prince planning to do? He actually asked for five thousand."

"Could it be that His Highness the Sixth Prince really intends to rebel?"

"I think so too. After all, the Sixth Prince has been acting very abnormally recently. Today, he took this opportunity to blackmail five thousand good horses in the Northern Ocean. His evil ambitions are obvious."

"I don't think so. The Sixth Prince has learned nothing in all these years. Even if he is given 5,000 good horses, what can he do?"

……

On the high platform, Emperor Wu was shocked to hear the number of five thousand, and his eyelids trembled fiercely: "What on earth does Lao Liu want to do?"

Tuoba Ke let out a long breath and said, "Sixth Prince, I didn't expect you to be so ambitious. You asked for five thousand fine horses. However, for my Northern Zhou, war horses are just food for me to fill my stomach during wartime."

"If the Sixth Prince cannot tame the white horse, how can he make up for the Northern Zhou?"

Ling Tian raised his eyebrows: "Third Princess, I think you also know that although I, Ling Tian, ​​am the sixth prince of Daqian, I have no other power except for my passion."

"Besides, the bet between you and me today is just a private one between us."

"I'll bet you five thousand good horses. You can tell me what you want from me, even if it's me."

"Shameless."

Tuoba Ke shouted angrily, but he had no way to deal with the tough guy in front of him: "This guy has been paralyzing me all the time. I didn't expect that he would be waiting for me here."

"But the words have been spoken, how should we end it?"

Tuoba Ke raised his eyebrows and said, "Since the Sixth Prince is going to use such a rogue method to deal with it, why not play a bigger game? Today, I am willing to bet five thousand good horses against the Sixth Prince's wife."

"I don't know, Sixth Prince."

"Dare you?"
