Chapter 165 Consort

Hearing Gao Chong's extremely arrogant tone, the military and civilians on Dayan were cheering, while the Eastern Qiang generals on the Eastern Qiang mission all showed fear on their faces.

Tenercha, the confidant general of Khan Ilede of the Eastern Qiang tribe, said to the Eastern Qiang tribe's young khan Asgai with a wry smile: "Young master, we are all famous warriors of the Eastern Qiang tribe, but they are easily killed by the generals sent by the other party. Perhaps only the four gods can do this, and the four gods are equivalent to great master warriors!"

Tengercha's words immediately showed a hint of bitterness on Asgai's originally blue face, "I also thought of this possibility, but I have never heard of another great master in Yan State appearing!"

Tengercha sighed and said, "Young Master, have we, the Dongqiang tribe, not have we ever promoted the four gods who are comparable to the great master warriors?"

Asgai gritted his teeth and said, "Give up! There is no point in continuing this competition. Since the other party is likely to have four great master warriors, he will not even be able to defeat others even if he uses wheel battles."

When the Eastern Qiang generals behind Asgai decided to admit defeat, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Now eight Eastern Qiang generals have been killed on the spot in the competition, seven of whom are master warriors, but the four people sent by the other party were unscathed. This is not a competition, it's simply a massacre!

When the Eastern Qiang delegation announced their concession, the cheers of the officers and soldiers of the Dayan Imperial Army and the people suddenly echoed in the sky.

Emperor Zhao Zhe smiled and said to the civil and military ministers around him: "The Marquis of Zhennan did not disappoint me. The victory in this competition seems to be just like this. I decided to reject the marriage proposal of the Eastern Qiang tribe. What do you think?"

As soon as the emperor Zhao Zhe finished speaking, Xie Zhitong, Minister of War, spoke: "I agree with Your Majesty's decision. My Dayan has never had a precedent for marriage with the barbarians for more than 600 years. Moreover, my Dayan is now strong and powerful, so there is no need to marry with the Eastern Qiang tribe to stabilize the borders of the four northern prefectures!"

Pan Shijie, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, followed and said: "I will discuss it!"

Du Huairen, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, also immediately said: "I will discuss it!"

The military officers then spoke one after another, expressing their support for Emperor Zhao Zhe not to marry the Eastern Qiang tribe.

After the emperor Zhao Zhe looked at the Secretary of the Secretariat Zhang Jialuo, the Secretary of the Secretariat Shi Naijie and the Secretary of the Secretariat Jiang Wenjun, the three Grand Yan Prime Ministers looked at each other, and their eyes showed helplessness.

If Zi Zhao Zhe has made a clear statement in public today that he would reject the marriage of the Eastern Qiang tribe, then there would be no room for redeem in this matter.

The Secretary of the Secretariat Zhang Jialuo had no choice but to nod and said, "I will discuss it!"

The Left Chief of the Secretariat Shi Naijie and the Right Chief of the Secretariat Jiang Wenjun also expressed their approval of the decision of Emperor Zhao Zhe.

When the emperor Zhao Zhe saw that the three prime ministers agreed, he immediately laughed loudly and said, "Then this matter is decided. Tonight I will hold a banquet in the palace to celebrate the fierce generals under Zhennan Hou, and win this competition with the Eastern Qiang Mission for my Dayan!"

In addition to the generals under Li Bin, there are dozens of generals from the Imperial Guard and the Imperial Guard. These Imperial Guard and the Imperial Guard are all grandmasters and warriors, and they are ordered to help Li Bin support the situation. If necessary, these Imperial Guard and the Imperial Guard will also go to fight today.

Many of them are Li Bin's acquaintances, such as Sha Lei and Wei Hong, the deputy coach of the original cavalry guard, and Shen Kui of the original Golden Armor Camp.

The Knight Guard suffered a great loss in the Five Battles of Jinluo. Although the officers and soldiers who died could be re-enlisted, the lost war horses were not so easy to replenish. Later, the Knight Guard, the left and right Zhiguard, and the left and right Xinguard were all cut off together. However, the officers and veterans of the Knight Guard were basically absorbed into the newly formed Imperial Guard.

The Imperial Army was personally the head commander of the emperor Zhao Zhe, and was temporarily organized into three brigades with a total force of about 12,000. Sha Lei and Wei Hong are currently serving as brigade leaders of the Imperial Army respectively, and their official positions are still the third-rank general of the chariot and cavalry.

Shen Kui was the brigade leader of another brigade of the Imperial Guard, and his official position was also promoted to a third-rank chariot and cavalry general.

Seeing that the Eastern Qiang delegation had surrendered, Sha Lei couldn't help but say to Li Bin with emotion: "Marty, I feel that we are just going through a formality today. The Martyr's command is a powerful general, so how could we use us to play? It's as I expected."

The deputy general of Zuo Xiaowei, Tang Yunzhao, then smiled and said, "I originally thought that the brothers Yang Zaixing, Xue Li, Qin Qiong, and Yuchi Gong did not come back. Maybe I can still show my face today. It seems that I am thinking too much."

Tang Yunzhao's words made the generals from the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Guards, as well as the generals under Li Bin, burst into laughter.

Li Bin smiled and said, "I blame me. Today, Brother Yun Zhao should be satisfied with the performance. Next time I have such an opportunity, I must think of Brother Yun Zhao!"

Li Bin's words made everyone laugh again.

Soon, the eunuchs from the palace came over and told Li Bin and others that the emperor would hold a banquet in the palace tonight. The generals under Li Bin, as well as the generals of the Imperial Guard and the Imperial Guard, were all on the list of banquets.

The people of the Eastern Qiang tribe had just returned to their garrison. Several officials from the Ministry of Rites told the Eastern Qiang tribe that the Dayan court had officially rejected the proposal of the Eastern Qiang tribe to marry, but the Dayan court hoped to invite the Eastern Qiang tribe's mission to attend the celebration of the 59th birthday of Emperor Zhao Zhe on February 2.

The young khan of the Eastern Qiang tribe, Asgahi, immediately rejected the invitation from the Dayan court and said in a deep voice to several officials of the Ministry of Rites: "Since the Yan State rejected the friendship between our Eastern Qiang tribes, then we can only compete on the battlefield in the future."

The Eastern Qiang delegation hurriedly left Yong'an City that afternoon. After Asgai rode out of the Beihua Gate of Yong'an City, he looked back at the towering and majestic walls of Yong'an City, and said viciously: "As sooner or later, I will lead millions of Eastern Qiang cavalry to flatten Yong'an City!"

That night, the celebration banquet held by Emperor Zhao Zhe in the palace, Li Bin only brought Fan Kuai, Long Qi, Yuwen Chengdu, Gao Chong and the Four Great Kings to attend.

The Four Great Kings of Warriors were requested by Emperor Zhao Zhe to attend this dinner.

When the emperor Zhao Zhe saw four giants with a height of 2.5 meters, he sighed and said, "It's better to see it at first sight than to hear it. The four gods of the Eastern Qiang tribe are indeed like four giants. I believe there should be no taller and stronger people in the world than them."

The princes, civil and military ministers, and dozens of generals in the army were also amazed when they saw the four great kings beside Li Bin.

Li Bin smiled and said to the emperor Zhao Zhe: "Your Majesty, there are no four gods of the Eastern Qiang tribe in the world now, and the four of them will be the four great Vajras under their command in the future."

Emperor Zhao Zhe looked at Li Bin, a trace of intriguing expression flashed in his eyes, and then he laughed: "The Dongqiang tribe really lost his wife and his troops this time!"

After the dinner, the emperor Zhao Zhe kept the crown prince Zhao Chang, the king of Jin Zhao Yu, the king of Qin Zhao Jian, the king of Song Zhao Zhi and the king of Yue Zhao Jing. "I have an idea and want to discuss it with you."

Several princes looked at each other, and the prince Zhao Chang asked, "Father, what's the matter?"

"I want to marry Shu Yi to Li Bin!"

As soon as the emperor Zhao Zhe said this, the five princes were stunned. Shu Yi was referring to Princess Ruian Zhao Shuyi.

King Zhao Yu of Jin smiled bitterly and said, "Father, Li Bin has already married, and he is Xie Yingying, the lady of the Xie family."

Emperor Zhao Zhe said calmly: "I know all these things. I can issue an order to give Shu Yi and Xie Yingying both Li Bin's wife. I, Dayan, had such a precedent in the past."

After pausing, Zhao Zhe continued: "The Li family where Li Bin is located has actually become the 14th top general in the Great Yan family. The situation of the Li family is different from the other 13 generals. It is almost the only one who decides. If Shu Yi can marry Li Bin, it will definitely be a good thing for our royal family to beat one by one!"

Crown Prince Zhao Chang hesitated for a moment and said, "According to the emperor's method, it's okay to marry Shu Yi to Li Bin, but I'm afraid that the Thirteen Generals will object to this matter."

Emperor Zhao Zhe said flatly: "Many of our royal princesses have married the children of Thirteen Generals. Thirteen Generals have no reason to oppose this marriage."

In a palace in the palace, Princess Ruian Zhao Shuyi looked at the queen Dong with shock, "Mother, what did you say? My father is going to marry me to Zhennan Hou Li Bin?"

Queen Dong nodded slightly and said, "Shu Yi, that's true. Your father seemed to have made up his mind this time and had to marry you to Li Bin, the Marquis of Zhennan."

Princess Ruian Zhao Shuyi said anxiously: "But Zhennan Hou Li Bin has married Xie Yingying as his wife. Could you let me be a concubine for Li Bin?"

Empress Dong hurriedly said, "Your father is going to issue an order to give you and Xie Yingying the right wife to Li Bin. I, Dayan, have had precedents in this kind of thing before."

When Princess Ruian Zhao Shuyi heard this, she shook her head and said, "No, I have to go find my father. My father promised me that I would allow me to choose the prince consort myself."

At this time, the voice of Emperor Zhao Zhe came over, "Don't go find me anymore, I'm here by myself."

Princess Zhao Shuyi, Ruian, saw the emperor Zhao Zhe walking into the hall, hurriedly ran over and grabbed the emperor Zhao Zhe's arm, and said coquettishly: "Father, my daughter doesn't want to marry Li Bin. Didn't the father say that she could let her daughter choose her son-in-law by herself?"

Emperor Zhao Zhe pulled out his arm, then sighed and said, "Shu Yi, you are already twenty-two now. My father and mother can't leave you in the palace for the rest of your life. Don't you admire Li Bin's talent very much? I think it's still very suitable for Li Bin to be your son-in-law."

Empress Dong also persuaded: "Marquis Zhennan can be said to be a versatile talent in civil and military affairs, and his age is the same as yours. I also think that Li Bin is very suitable to be your son-in-law."

Princess Ruian Zhao Shuyi couldn't help but see the scene of Li Bin writing three eternal quatrains at the poetry meeting a few years ago. Zhao Shuyi hesitated for a moment and asked the emperor Zhao Zhe: "Father, do I have to marry Zhennan Hou?"

Emperor Zhao Zhe pondered for a moment and said, "Shu Yi, Li Bin alone controls the military power of ten outer guards and hundreds of thousands of government soldiers. If you can marry Li Bin, although the military power of these troops will not fall into the hands of the royal family, the thirteen generals will have to restrain themselves in the future."

"Father, my daughter understands that her daughter is willing to marry Zhennanhou."

On the afternoon of January 17, in a hall in Zhennan Hou Mansion, Li Bin shouted to the Minister of War Xie Zhitong in amazement: "Uncle, are you not kidding? I can already marry, Yingying is still here!"

At this time, Xie Yingying was sitting next to Li Bin. Xie Yingying heard the Minister of War Xie Zhitong say that the emperor was going to marry Princess Rui'an Zhao Shuyi to Li Bin, and she was also a little confused.

Xie Zhitong smiled bitterly and said, "Wende, Yingying, the emperor is indeed planning to marry Princess Ruian to Wende, but the emperor will issue an order to give Yingying and Princess Ruian to Wende's wife."

After pausing, Xie Zhitong continued, "Actually, our Xie family and other generals opposed this matter, but the emperor's attitude was very firm and ordered me to come and ask Wen De for his opinion in person."

Li Bin shook his head and said, "Uncle, I don't want to marry Princess Ruian. My Li Bin's wife can only be Yingying."

When Xie Yingying heard this, her heart felt warm. If it weren't for Xie Zhitong's here, Xie Yingying would probably have pounced on Li Bin's arms directly.

Xie Zhitong asked, "Wende, if you don't agree, then I will report it directly to the emperor."

Xie Yingying suddenly said: "Uncle, can we consider this matter? After all, this is not a trivial matter."

Li Bin frowned and said, "Yingying, what are you thinking about this? Just ask my uncle to help me reject this marriage."

Xie Yingying smiled and said, "Husband, the emperor wants to recruit you as his son-in-law, so it is not so easy to refuse."

Xie Zhitong nodded slowly, "Wen De, what Yingying said makes sense. I think you should think carefully!"

When he learned that Li Bin did not agree to the marriage immediately, Emperor Zhao Zhe summoned Li Bin's father Li Zhao on the morning of January 18th.

As a result, Li Zhao was moved by Emperor Zhao Zhe in a few words and agreed to the marriage.

When Li Zhao returned to Zhennan Hou Mansion and told Li Bin about the matter, Li Bin was so angry that he didn't know what to say, "Dad, why did you agree without asking me?"

Li Zhao glared at her eyes, "The emperor is willing to marry Princess Ruian to you, a bad boy. What a glory it is for our Li family. Besides, the emperor has already said that he will issue an order to give Yingying and Princess Ruian your wife. Anyway, I have agreed to the emperor. After the emperor's birthday celebration is over, you will choose a day to marry Princess Ruian."

Then Li Zhao turned his head and said to Xie Yingying: "Girl, don't worry, even if Princess Ruian gives birth to a son in the future, the title of Zhennan Marquis will be inherited by Li Jie!"

Xie Yingying was not annoyed, but instead said with a smile: "Dadfather-in-law, in fact, his daughter-in-law also supports his husband to marry Princess Ruian. In this way, the relationship between the husband and the royal family will be completely changed, and the court will also reduce many concerns about his husband."

Li Zhao immediately said to Li Bin: "Look, Yingying is so sensible, this matter is settled."

Li Bin said with a wry smile: "You have agreed to the emperor. What can I do if I don't agree!"
