Quick Wear: The Demon Lord blew up the tomb at the beginning
Chapter 225 I Send the Emperor to Marry (7)
Hearing Xie Lang's words, the whole audience was shocked again.
The eldest princess Qi Piao of Beihuang was very famous, but she had a bad reputation.
She had been married three times. The first time she married the prime minister of Jin State and gave birth to a son. However, because there was a sudden conflict between Jin State and Beihuang, Qi Piao abandoned her husband and son and returned to her country.
The second time she married, the man was the ruler of a small country around the Northern Wilderness. Qi Piao secretly joined forces with her motherland and easily destroyed that small country. Her second husband was also killed by her own hands.
The third time she married was to the king of Jiang State. After only two years of marriage, she felt that the feng shui of Jiang State was not good and could not compare with their Northern Wilderness. She was pregnant at the time, but she still took her people back to Northern Wilderness overnight and set fire to Jiang State's granary before leaving.
After the incident, although the people of Jiang State were furious, Beihuang was stronger than them, and there was Qin State between them, so they could not start a war and could only swallow their anger.
And Qi Piao's name spread in this way, after Qi Piao returned to Beihuang.
She no longer got married, but kept a group of retainers in the Princess's Mansion, many of whom were quite fair-looking.
Anyone would know what those retainers are like.
So when the people present heard Xie Lang's request for Chu Xiong to marry the eldest princess of Beihuang, they fell silent.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, you are wishful thinking." Chu Xiong was anxious. He already had beauties in his harem, and now he was asked to marry Qi Piao, who was he trying to disgust?
The same thing went to Prime Minister Zhang He, who felt endless humiliation.
His whole face turned red with anger: "How can a man accept such humiliation?"
The officials in the queue also had livid faces, and dared to be angry but not to speak.
However, the minister who asked the question just now did not care about the expressions of Chu Xiong and those ministers, but continued to ask: "What if Beihuang still does not accept it and continues to send troops to attack our Chu State?"
The marriage is not the point; the point is how Chu should deal with the massive attack from the Northern Wilderness.
This concerns the country of Chu.
The reason why the princess was sent to marry was to protect the State of Chu from being disturbed by war.
Moreover, he didn't think that Chu Xiong would really be sent to marry.
Because this is really ridiculous.
Facing the minister's question, Xie Lang said calmly: "Of course, it was all gone in the midst of laughter and chat."
She said she didn't like people going against her.
If there is, the end will be reduced to ashes.
After hearing Xie Lang's words, everyone was so shocked that they couldn't control themselves for a long time.
"Your Majesty, I am Bai Shu, your servant. I pay my respects to you." Bai Shu knelt down on the spot and performed the salute of a subject to Xie Lang.
This made everyone look unhappy again, especially Prime Minister Zhang He and others. What they were thinking was, if Xie Lang really became the monarch of Chu, would they really have to accompany Chu Xiong to marry in the Northern Wilderness?
Chu Xiong's expression was even uglier, and he rushed towards Bai Shu with words of rage: "Bai Shu, I have treated you well, why do you betray me?"
"Your Majesty, can you defeat Her Royal Highness the Princess? Can you turn Northern Wasteland into ashes?" Bai Shu ignored Chu Xiong's increasingly dark complexion and said confidently, "If Your Majesty can, I...will naturally remain Your Majesty's subject."
He was not stupid. If Xie Lang's fighting power was only enough to defeat a hundred people alone, he would certainly not surrender to her.
But he just saw that the soldiers who rushed towards her were blasted away by an invisible force before they even touched her.
It can also change celestial phenomena, an ability that is almost close to that of a god.
Maybe she really is a god from heaven.
In this situation, the right thing to do is to kneel down and submit.
“You…” Chu Xiong was so angry that he couldn’t breathe. In the end, he could only say bitterly: “How outrageous!!”
Xie Lang ignored Chu Xiong's anger and said to the others, "What about you?"
When Xie Lang looked at them, the ministers fell silent again.
After a while, a fat minister with gray hair forced a smile at Xie Lang: "Your Highness, why do you have to force it? Even if we agree, it will be useless. If Your Highness wants to be the monarch of Chu, all the ministers must agree."
The hall they were in now was the Empress Dowager's Linguang Palace. The ministers standing inside were the ones who came to escort the princess out of the palace. There were not many of them, only a dozen or so.
That's why that person said that.
He knew that this time he had to take sides. If he chose Xie Lang, Chu Xiong would be jealous of him. If he chose Chu Xiong, what if Xie Lang killed him?
So he planned to drag all the officials in the court into the water.
Xie Lang glanced at the fat minister nonchalantly, and said in a cold voice: "Then I want your answer now?"
The ministers looked embarrassed again.
Xie Lang sneered and finally uttered a word: "Three."
When the countdown started, the faces of those ministers changed drastically. Xie Lang didn't even give them the chance to be fence-sitters.
Prime Minister Zhang He's face was very gloomy. He had already offended Xie Lang greatly. If he came to power, he would definitely have no good days.
What's more, she was determined to let herself follow Chu Xiong to marry.
Besides, he is the prime minister, and the issue of dignity is more important to him than anyone else.
So he began to reason with Xie Lang: "Your Highness, the ancients said that a gentleman should win over people's hearts, not their words; he should win over people's words, not their bodies."
Xie Lang remained calm and continued, "Two."
"Your Highness, you are so coercive. Even if we are forced to submit temporarily, we cannot convince people..."
"one."
When the last word "one" was uttered, several ministers knelt down on the spot because they could not bear the pressure.
Zhang He hadn't knelt yet, but he was very panicked inside.
At this moment, Zhang He's eyes widened, because he turned around and found that a white sword light condensed from the air swept over from the back of the courtiers' team.
Soon, the sword pierced through the neck of the ministers at the back of the line because they were still standing.
Just when the sword light was about to touch him.
Pfft! !
The instinct for survival prompted him to kneel down in no more than three breaths.
Only after the sword light passed did he breathe a sigh of relief, cold sweat pouring down his face. Several ministers also knelt down with him at the same time.
Those ministers who did not have time to kneel or who refused to surrender all had their heads chopped off by the sword.
The scene was bloody.
Zhang He was frightened. Before he could react, Xie Lang's teasing voice rang in his ears: "Prime Minister, didn't you say you wouldn't kneel?"
When he looked up, he saw Xie Lang looking at him with a smile, his eyes full of mockery.
Zhang He felt his face hurt, it really hurt, but he still said stubbornly: "Princess, I was forced."
Xie Lang did not reply, but just laughed, but everyone could hear the sarcasm in his laughter.
