Many dignitaries in the hall were silent, looking at Lin Qi and his son with strange eyes. WWw,QUAbEn-XIAoShUo,com
Lin Qi was given the opportunity to marry Princess Qingli, which already represented Ying Zheng's favor and respect for him, but Lin Hu was given the opportunity to marry Princess Yu, which cannot be explained by favor and respect. Everyone vaguely felt that Ying Zheng seemed to be 'bribing' Lin Qi and his son.
It was just bribery, using the royal princess to win over the father and son!
But what is there in Lin Qi that is worthy of being bribed by Ying Zheng, the emperor of the Blood Qin Empire? Wealth? Although the Lin Qi family is rich and richer than most of the powerful people in the Blood Qin Empire, it is impossible for him to be richer than the Blood Qin royal family, right
The Blood Qin Empire unified the Eastern Continent, and hundreds of small nearby countries were all vassals of the empire. The huge empire brought endless wealth. The Lin Qi family was indeed very rich, but it was impossible for a family to compare with an empire.
But Ying Zheng did this, so there must be something more worthy of Ying Zheng's attention in Lin Qi. And this thing is extremely valuable, at least it is worth Ying Zheng using two princesses to win over and bribe Lin Qi. This kind of double consort has never happened in the history of the Blood Qin Empire, not to mention that Princess Yu is also the direct aunt of Princess Qingli, which is even more outrageous.
The father married his aunt, and the son married his daughter. The hierarchy and titles were all in a mess.
Some mature and stable, or stubborn and conservative courtiers wanted to stop this matter, but when they thought of the terrible scene where Ying Zheng ruthlessly killed all the rebellious princes and dignitaries a few days ago, they shut their eyes obediently. Mouth.
Ying Zheng glanced at the people in the hall with satisfaction, and said happily: "That's very good. King Dong'an, you can also choose a good and auspicious day to come to the imperial city to hire me. After King Dongshun's wedding, I will personally take care of it for you." A grand ceremony.”
Touching his chin with regret, Ying Zheng sighed softly: "Qing Li's marriage was a bit hasty. This is because I have an important matter and asked King Dongshun to handle it personally. This is because I can't help King Dongshun and Qing Li. So. , I will personally handle the marriage of Princess Yu, and I must follow the ancient etiquette... Hmm. Where is Tai Zuo?"
Tai Zuo Ying Zhao hurriedly responded and walked out of the train, bowing respectfully to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng nodded, looked at Ying Zhao and said calmly: "Use the most solemn etiquette and prepare carefully. I will personally review all the ceremony processes. If something goes wrong, the world will feel that I have been mean to the hero. I, But he’s going to kill someone.”
Ying Zhao's body trembled and he hurriedly responded to this matter. At the same time, Ying Zhao smiled bitterly in his heart. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty really didn't know what contribution Lin Qi and his son had - Lin Qi's contribution to identifying the 'Sapling of the Tree of Life' was shameful. Blackbeard had just arrived, and he had just entered Shuangyangchi. In Longcheng, he was granted the title of King of Dong'an and was granted the title of Marriage to the Princess of Yuan Kingdom. What credit does he have
But since Ying Zheng said so, Ying Zhao can just handle it temporarily. Anyway, it is the emperor's cousin and daughter who are getting married. It's not Ying Zhao's biological granddaughter. Why does he care about this
Ying Zheng smiled with satisfaction, and then he affectionately asked Blackbeard some questions about the customs of the Western Continent and the Eastern Subcontinent. Blackbeard has been operating in the Western Continent for many years. He has a good grasp of the situation in various countries in the Western Continent and the details of all social strata. He speaks directly and has a loud voice without any stage fright.
As for things about the Eastern Subcontinent, Blackbeard actually talked about it. Including the situation of the large and small forces in the Eastern subcontinent, especially the situation of the wealthiest families among the major forces, Blackbeard explained in detail.
Lin Qi couldn't help but look at Blackbeard in surprise. Hasn't this father been forced to live in seclusion and practice hard in recent years? It's not surprising that he is familiar with the situation in the Western Continent, but he is also so aware of the situation in the Eastern Subcontinent. This is probably due to the Lin family. I can tell. The main family of the Lin family, or the ancient clans of the Lin family, have considerable influence in the Eastern Subcontinent. …,
After questioning for a while, Ying Zheng smiled and nodded, and said in a deep voice: "So, this world is vast. If it weren't for King Dong'an, I really wouldn't have known that those places were so rich and vast. Hey, that's all, that's all, King Dong'an. You must come to the Imperial City often in the future, I am very interested in the things you said."
Blackbeard nodded carelessly, took out a big cigar and held it in his mouth in front of many courtiers. He lit a match boldly, lit himself a cigar, and blew out a heavy puff of smoke. The eunuchs and officials in charge of court etiquette around him were twitching in their eyes, but Ying Zheng didn't speak, and none of them moved.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Lin Hu is entrusted by the family and will stay in the east all year round. Well, some members of my Lin family, probably hundreds of people and thousands of servants, have now set off from the Western Continent and are taking a sea ship to the East. Come. It is estimated that they will arrive within a year at most."
'Quack' laughed loudly, and Blackbeard said proudly: "Your Majesty's grace, our Lin family is now in-laws with Your Majesty. Hey, with Your Majesty's care, the Lin family will be as stable as a mountain in the East in the future, which is better than in the Western Continent." It's fun to do business on the knife's edge."
Ying Zheng's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Blackbeard a little helplessly.
Hey, being in-laws with the emperor? Although this is true, Blackbeard is probably the only one who dares to say this in front of the emperor in the thousands of years since the founding of the Blood Qin Empire. Facing such a rugged Black Beard, Ying Zheng couldn't help but glance at Princess Yu. It seemed that marrying such a little flower-like princess to Black Beard was like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth
Ying Zheng quickly threw this thought out of his mind and said in a deep voice: "That's very good. King Dongshun has done great service for me. I will also use King Dongshun in the future. As long as the Lin family is loyal, Geng Geng works for me, and I will ensure that your Lin family will never have to worry about it."
After a slight pause, Ying Zheng looked at Blackbeard: "Your family's large tribe moved back to Blood Qin. This is a good thing for the fallen leaves to return to their roots. But, how did you deal with the Lin family's foundation in the west?"
All the civil and military dignitaries in the hall raised their ears at the same time. Ying Zheng's words were on point. Perhaps through Black Beard's answer, they could understand why Ying Zheng valued Black Beard so much. Princess Qingli, Ying Shao and others looked at Ying Zheng in surprise. He was interested in Blackbeard's foundation in the Western Continent. What did he want to do? Expedition to the Western Continent
Before the founding of the Blood Qin Empire, the Western Continent was still in the Dark Calendar, and the Eastern Continent was also in chaos. Hundreds of countries, large and small, were attacking and fighting each other. Several royal families that had been destroyed moved to the West with large armies, but they All were defeated and killed by the wild attacks of the nomads on the Continental Bridge. Could it be that Ying Zheng has his eye on the Western Continent
The east and the west are tens of thousands of miles apart. How can it be so easy to send soldiers on an expedition
Blackbeard blew out a puff of smoke and said in a deep voice: "Of course we cannot ignore the foundation of the West. We still have a large number of people in the Western Continent. After all, our business income It’s extremely thick and the profit is extremely high, so we can’t let it go no matter what, right?”
Ying Zheng nodded with increasing satisfaction. He smiled and waved his hand, and said calmly: "So, it is indeed very good, very good. A banquet has been prepared in the palace. You all can enjoy the feast with me; for Dongshun Congratulations to the king and Princess Qingli, congratulations to King Dong'an and Princess Yu, congratulations to our bloody Qin for adding loyal ministers and strong generals, and I wish my bloody Qin to unify the eight wastelands and have an unbroken empire for generations to come!"
Many dignitaries in the hall knelt down and saluted, and their shouts of "Long Live Long Live" were earth-shattering. They finally figured out why Ying Zheng treated Lin Qi and his son so favorably. In terms of relationships, Ying Zheng really fell in love with the Lin family's property. But none of them dared to think in the direction they guessed. They just pretended that they had not heard what Ying Zheng said about 'unifying the eight wastelands', because this matter was too grand and too scary. …,
Even these powerful officials of the Blood Qin Empire never thought that the Blood Qin Empire could unify all directions. The world is so big. The Eastern Continent is staggeringly big, not to mention that except for the smaller Western Continent, none of the other continents are under the Eastern Continent. Unify the eight wastelands, you Ying Zheng Are you kidding me, Your Majesty? What about daydreaming? Not to mention the military conquests, even traveling across these continents is a very difficult task.
Ninety-nine percent of the people did not take Ying Zheng's words seriously. At the banquet prepared in the palace, many powerful officials focused their attention on Lin Qi and his son. There are two newly released princes, one is King Dongshun and the other is King Dongan! The Dongan King of Blackbeard is very fluent, he is a virtual prince, but this is also the identity of the prince!
Needless to say, Lin Qi, the King of Dongshun, had fiefs in three major provinces under his name, plus Princess Qingli's Qingli Kingdom, Lin Qi became one of the most powerful figures in the Blood Qin Empire. Simply described as a fiefdom, Lin Qi's strength would be among the top twenty most powerful princes in the Blood Qin Empire, which would be a position that could influence the politics of the Blood Qin Dynasty.
In addition, the father and son also married the princess at the same time!
The envy and jealousy in the hearts of many powerful people is that two barbarians from the Western Continent, especially Blackbeard, a typical beast-like barbarian, can actually marry a princess!
Countless envious and extremely jealous dignitaries swarmed over, and thousands of people took turns toasting, getting Lin Qi and his son drunk on the spot.
Even a Saint Master has a limit to his drinking capacity. Moreover, there are many people with astonishing strength among the ministers of civil and military affairs. Lin Qi and Blackbeard couldn't cheat even if they wanted to cure their hangover. The father and son were so drunk that they rolled their eyes and finally fell to the ground helplessly drunk. They didn't know who took advantage of the chaos and beat them severely. A few kicks.
Seeing that the real master was drunk, many dignitaries dispersed angrily.
Ying Zheng made an even more incredible decision. The drunk Lin Qi and his son simply stayed in the imperial city for the night!
This is also something that makes countless powerful people’s eyes drop.
Staying in the Imperial City? This is too exaggerated! (..Your support is my greatest motivation.)
