Chapter 446 Whoever Gets the Queen of Dongling Gets the World

Nan Xi was silent for a moment: "Dan Shu died at the age of thirty, the second prince must be very sad."

Rong Yu hummed: "It is indeed sad enough."

Nan Xi heard that his tone was a little strange, and looked up at him: "You don't get along with this person?"

"Yeah." Rong Yu suppressed the annoyance in his heart, and didn't care that Nan Xi was talking about him instead of Rong Huaijin, "He is a disgusting person."

Disgusted?

Nan Xi was puzzled.

Dan Shu had a good relationship with this second brother. When she died, she could pass the throne to his son and let this second brother become the regent of the emperor father at a young age. In fact, it was equivalent to completely controlling the power of the government before the little emperor turned sixteen.

It was no different from the emperor.

In the previous life, Rong Huaijin loved Dan Shu the most, so why did he think that the second prince was a disgusting person?

Nan Xi has not yet recovered the memory of the period before his death, and has not read much recently, so he doesn't know the history of the young emperor ascending the throne.

The two chatted for a while, and the palace servants quickly prepared breakfast, and the topic ended there.

The next two days were still calm and peaceful.

But this peace did not last long. Dongling, which had just been calm for a while, soon set off a turbulent wave again.

On the fifth day after the New Year, the day before the resumption of the court on the sixth day, the 800-mile urgent intelligence was sent by the border spies day and night, bringing anxiety that caught everyone off guard: "The Nanyue border has increased its elite troops by 60,000, and is heading to Dongling from Yuguo. The leader is Yun Che, the King of Yubei, the younger brother of the Nanyue Emperor. He came in the name of marriage and is willing to use the nine cities of Yubei as a betrothal to marry the Queen of Dongling for the Nanyue Emperor!"

As soon as this news came out, the whole court was in an uproar.

The peace that had been maintained in the entire imperial capital for more than half a month was broken, and all the major elders and important officials in the court were furious and indignant.

"It's outrageous!"

"The King of Nanyue is too much. How can the Queen of Dongling accept such an insult!"

"Don't say that the Queen has been married. Even if she is still in the boudoir, she is on an equal footing with the King of Nanyue. What qualifications does he have to talk about 'marrying'?"

"Yes, even if you want to marry into the family, it depends on whether the King is willing. Nine cities as a betrothal? What a joke."

The ministers expressed their indignation and said bluntly that if Nanyue really didn't know what was good for them, Dongling would definitely not mind fighting. Don't think that Dongling is really afraid of war because it has liked peace for hundreds of years.

As the Queen of a country, she will not tolerate anyone to offend or belittle her. This represents the face and dignity of the entire Dongling royal family.

The ministers did not hesitate to take a unified attitude towards the outside world. They were all loyal and tough.

However, in the face of such provocation, Rong Yu's attitude was so calm that it made people feel strange.

After calming down, several thoughtful ministers in the court could not help but feel suspicious. Logically speaking, the King of Nanyue should not be so stupid. Dongling and Dazhou are already one family. Dazhou is a strong country, and Dongling is not weak either. After becoming in-laws, they are even more powerful. No matter how powerful Nanyue is, it is impossible for it to defeat the strength of the two countries.

He suddenly came up with such a move. Was he bewitched by someone, out of impulse, or had other plans?

As expected, on the sixth day of the New Year, the court was resumed early in the morning. After the civil and military officials had just performed the kowtow ceremony and shouted "Long live the king", another 800-mile express horse rushed to the palace gate.

A low-ranking general in military uniform quickly stepped into the palace hall and knelt down to report: "The Sixth Prince of Northern Frontier led 80,000 elite soldiers and borrowed the road from Yan State to bypass the Great Zhou. He is rushing to the border of the northern city of Dongling. He wants to use the annexation of Yan State and the seven cities of the surrounding Northern Frontier as a betrothal gift to marry our Queen of Dongling!"

The words fell, like thunder in the plain.

The ministers were subconsciously stunned, and then an idea came to their minds at the same time, which was simply absurd!

Are Nanyue and Beijiang both so bold?

It must be a conspiracy between the two countries to ask for the Queen of Dongling one after another!

The hall was silent, and the court officials looked at each other in silence, thinking that the regent must be furious? Although this was only the first morning court after the Queen ascended the throne, they had heard how jealous the regent was. The Queen's choice of a husband would make him unhappy. How dare Nanyue and Beijiang openly propose a betrothal gift?

The two countries' actions will surely cause a sensation in the world, and the dignitaries of various countries will pay attention to this matter. How will the regent respond?

Or, will he directly give a thunderous revenge?

On the Danbi in front of the hall, Nan Xi, dressed in a noble dragon robe, sat quietly and steadily on the dragon chair, and her voice was calm and calm: "My dear ministers, do you find it strange that Nanyue and Beijiang led troops to force marriage without warning?"

Rong Yu's eyebrows were indifferent, and there was a deep and cold color between his elegant and picturesque eyebrows.

"There have been rumors in Jiuzhou these two days that whoever gets the Queen of Dongling will get the world." Nan Xi smiled lightly, "So this is not a sudden conspiracy between Nanyue and Beijiang, but the kings of various countries have the ambition to become the common master of the world, and this prophecy just gave them an excuse."

What?

The ministers were in an uproar.

Whoever gets the Queen of Dongling will get the world?

When did this prophecy arise? Why have they never heard of it?

"Of course, they must have believed in the truth of the prophecy, so they didn't hesitate to promise a rich city as betrothal gift, and even led troops to force a marriage." Nan Xi said calmly, "Because if they can really get me, they can quickly get the whole world. No matter how much betrothal gift they promise now, it will naturally return to their pockets in time - this is their wishful thinking."

"It's just a daydream!" Prime Minister Lu said coldly, "Don't talk about whether the prophecy is true or not. Even if it is true, what does it matter? How can they covet my Queen of Dongling? If Nanyue and Beijiang really dare to come, the Dongling Iron Cavalry will make them come and not leave!"

"The Prime Minister is right." Prime Minister Xie nodded lightly, "Don't say that the Prince of Beijiang is still in our hands. If Beijiang really has a tough attitude, tie up Duanmu Yu and Situ Xuanjue and bring them to the front to see if the Sixth Prince who leads the troops will be afraid of the consequences. If he insists on not changing his attitude, just let them kill each other, and the Dongling troops will fight Beijiang to the death."

The Prime Minister of Nanyue may not be as important as the Crown Prince of Beijiang, but if the Nanyue troops really want to enter Dongling, they must pass through the Huainan border. The Huainan King guarding the border is enough to resist with only 60,000 troops.

As for other countries,

The Great Zhou should not get involved in this absurd ambition. Xiqi has not made any move yet. Even if it joins in the fun, the Great Zhou can send troops to contain it so that Dongling will not be besieged by the three kingdoms.
