() Three days passed by in a hurry. This day was the day of the Daling Dynasty's martial arts contest to recruit brides, and it was also the birthday of the princess of the Daling Dynasty. In the palace, crowds of people crowded together, and envoys from various countries arrived to celebrate the princess's birthday. All kinds of strange things
Weird things were brought up, which opened Liu Yu's horizons.
As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Yu seemed to be isolated again. Recently, the Ming Dynasty attacked from all sides, and less than half of the vassal states of the Daling Dynasty were captured by Liu Yu. Of these princes and grandsons from various countries who stayed in the Daling Dynasty, less than half became
The slaves who had subjugated their country naturally hated Liu Yu deeply. Even where Liu Yu lived, there were constant assassinations these days.
Other envoys also stayed away from Liu Yu. Maybe at some point, the Ming army would set foot on their country's territory. In the Ming army's victory, it is said that even most of the masters sent by the other three dynasties were killed.
Defeated and beheaded. The three dynasties have recently prepared to join forces to send out troops to kill the Ming Dynasty.
With the three dynasties working together to strangle, it is a question whether the Ming Dynasty can survive. If you get close to Liu Yu now, what if the Ming Dynasty is defeated by someone in the future, and there will be a general purge afterwards.
As more and more people come, the gifts from various countries are almost piling up, and there are more and more novel things. "Tao Guo, I will give you ten deep sea pearls and a shining blue feather."
"Qian Guo, I will give you ten black jade coral beads and a pair of purple gold jade."
"Chi, Chi Yan Sect, give me a set of splendid fairy clothes and a blue rainbow sword."
As soon as these words came out, people looked towards the door one after another. For them, the vassals of the Daling Dynasty and the high-ranking officials of the dynasty, the name of the Chiyan Sect was like thunder. They saw an old man at the door, followed by several younger people.
The disciples walked in with a proud look on their faces. Everyone from the Red Flame Sect was here, the Daling Dynasty was really proud of themselves.
Shen Zhize, who was sitting on the main seat, immediately came out to greet the elder when he heard the gift from the Scarlet Yan Sect. Seeing the old man from a distance, Shen Zhize slightly cupped his hands and said happily, "I don't know if the elder of the Scarlet Yan Sect has arrived.
, atone for your sins and forgive your sins!”
"Where, where~!" The old man didn't dare to ask for help, and also slightly raised his hand to Shen Zhize. After all, this is the Daling Dynasty. Facing the emperor of the Daling Dynasty, and there are so many people watching, he always has to give people three
"Hearing about the birthday of the princess of the dynasty, the Chiyan Sect will of course come to congratulate her."
Who doesn’t know that these old people who eat people but don’t spit out their bones, when did they become so enthusiastic? In the fifteen years before the birthday of the princess of the Daling Dynasty, no one from the Chiyan Sect came.
.Now that the time has come, it is clear that the weasel is paying New Year greetings to the rooster and has no good intentions.
After Shen Zhize smiled slightly, he said in a flattering manner, "I wonder if the elder of the Chiyan Sect has any other instructions when he comes this time besides celebrating his little girl's birthday. As the elder said, I, the Daling Dynasty, will definitely do whatever it can."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome, you're welcome!" The old man smiled brightly and pulled out a middle-aged man behind him. "My grandson is already over thirty years old, and he is not too young. Unfortunately, he has always been obsessed with martial arts.
I have never married a wife, and I am still single. Alas, this time I heard that the Daling Dynasty is looking for a son-in-law. The princess of the Daling Dynasty is twenty-eight years old and as beautiful as a flower. You are really a match made in heaven, so I brought him here."
"This old guy has quite an appetite." After the old man finished speaking, Shen Zhize frowned tightly. Why did the old man have the nerve to say this? "I understand the elder's good intentions, but this is a contest to recruit a bride, and I cannot interfere directly."
."
On the mainland of China, although the sect-states have a cooperative and affiliated relationship, to put it bluntly, they are using each other. In the face of interests, what kind of solid offensive and defensive alliance is there?
In other words, as long as the hoe is wielded well, there is no corner that cannot be pried open. It is not uncommon for a country that one supports to be sold off for the sake of profit. Many countries have been pried open in this way.
There are also cases where disciples of a sect seduced other people's princesses and then directly took possession of their country. However, since then, all countries have been strictly guarding against it and would not let their princesses marry to the disciples of the sect.
Even if the disciples of the sect were in love with their princess, the country would deprive her of her status as a royal princess, denying them any chance to covet the throne.
Sects are most concerned about face. The country is guarding them like thieves, and they are also angry. Gradually, major sects are embarrassed to arrange marriages between disciples and royal princesses. This gradually forms a trend, and sect disciples are
Do not associate with princesses from secular countries.
But what happened now made Shen Zhize's heart tremble. Could it be that this old man was not doing well in the sect, so he set his sights on the Daling Dynasty and wanted to annex the Daling Dynasty in one fell swoop. The more Shen Zhize thought about it, the more wrong it became.
It's very possible.
"Elder, it's not that I don't want to." Shen Zhize didn't show any objection, but he was a little embarrassed. "Elder, you also know that this sect disciple is not suitable for the country's princess!"
"I understand what your Majesty is worried about." The old man waved his hands indifferently and smiled lightly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I am originally from the Zhou family of Lingyan County in the Daling Dynasty. It was only by chance that I joined the Red Flame Sect in my middle age.
But my grandson has never joined the Scarlet Flame Sect since he came back, so he is naturally not a disciple of the sect. He is from the Zhou family and can be considered a descendant of the aristocratic family."
Shen Zhize had already talked about this, but he came up to him in vain. This old man's face was really thick-skinned. Then again, if those who wanted to achieve great things had to have face, then it would be difficult for them to achieve anything.
.
The old man said it simply. Although he is a member of the sect, his grandson is from the Zhou family and is not a disciple of the sect. The unspoken rules on the mainland of China do not need to be established at all.
From the few words he said to the old man, Shen Zhize had already guessed a lot about their purpose. It seemed that although the old man was an elder of the Chiyan Sect, he actually became a monk halfway and had no foundation in the sect at all. He was alone in the sect.
It's hard enough to struggle inside, but it can bring no great development to the family.
The family is not strong, and it is not easy to develop from the family to the Red Flame Sect. There is no hope, so the only option is to develop into the Daling Dynasty. It just so happens that the royal princess is looking for a son-in-law, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The Zhou family, who have lived in the older dynasty for generations, have no sense of belonging to the sect and are loyal to the Daling dynasty. But with such an old guy behind him, the Chi Yan Sect is also happy to have a family so close to the Chi Yan Sect in power. Like this
Under such circumstances, who would be relieved, at least Shen Zhize was not.
Looking at the older middle-aged man behind him, Shen Zhize took it into consideration and said in a very embarrassed tone, "Elder, there is an age limit for this competition to choose a bride. After all, we are choosing a husband for the princess, so we can't be careless. The age must not be more than two years old."
Fifteen years old. This..."
"You must be over twenty-five years old to participate. My grandson has just reached twenty-five and is not yet twenty-six, so he should be included in this list." The old man snorted angrily and used threats.
We still respect the royal family very much, so your majesty can rest assured. But if the royal family doesn’t know how to praise, then, huh!"
This age does not look like someone in his twenties, but the old man still lied without blushing or kicking. The old man didn't think about it, but in the Daling Dynasty, the Zhou family's background was not very deep. It was somewhat different from those high-ranking officials.
Due to the distance, 80% of young people are no match for others.
We can only use tricks, but tricks come from tricks. We can't let the gray-haired elders come. After thousands of choices, I chose this person. Although he is a little older, this person from the younger generation of the Zhou family is the most powerful.
Against those children from high-ranking families, the age advantage is there, and the chances of winning are quite large.
"Okay, then let's take part." Shen Zhize sighed helplessly, then lowered his head with a cold look in his eyes. "In this case, I will send experts to kill you and the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty together, hum!"
"Good guy, he's just twenty-five years old, and he looks like he's forty. This old man is really shameless. Why did the Daling Dynasty agree without checking it out?"
"Today is the princess's sixteenth birthday, which means that the princess of the Daling Dynasty has just turned sixteen. A man who looks dozens of years old still wants to marry a sixteen-year-old girl. He is really shameless.
!”
"Who, who's talking?" These years of experience have made the old man's face thick, but when he first heard such cynicism, the old man couldn't help but get angry. "Who said that, stand up!"
