Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 81 Thank you

As soon as the emperor heard Yang Xingyao's name, he immediately stood up from the dragon chair and looked down into the palace. He saw Yang Xingyao dressed in white, with a thin figure and a slightly sick look on his face. He asked with concern: "Xingyao, I heard you last year

Father said you were seriously ill, are you feeling better?"

Yang Xingyao coughed twice and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm more than half recovered from my illness. I'll probably be well after a few more days of recovery."

The emperor nodded, glanced in the direction of the Dian King in the palace, and said: "That's good. If you have something wrong in the capital, just ask me."

Yang Xingyao hurriedly thanked the emperor and said a few polite words to the emperor. The emperor smiled and said: "Since you came to Beijing, I have heard of your talents many times. I have long wanted to summon you to the palace. I was afraid that your body and bones would not be able to bear it.

Don’t worry. Today is a good day, and I want to hear about your talents.”

Yang Xingyao saluted the emperor and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, thank you. I come from the southwest border. I am afraid that the poems about three-legged cats that I usually write will not be able to be used. It is just a thought. If I keep it in my heart, it will be really bad."

I was unwilling to do so, so I got ahead of you all, please forgive me."

As Yang Xingyao said this, he saluted all the ministers again. With his respect as the prince, he was so polite, even though all the ministers in the court regarded the Dian Prince's Palace as a thorn in their side, they did not dare to neglect at this time and returned the salute to Yang Xingyao one after another.

He lowered his head and walked casually for a few steps in the palace. He coughed several times and his face turned red. Immediately, two chamberlains came forward to help him.

Yang Xingyao rejected the two chamberlains, thought for a moment, raised his head suddenly, and began to recite:

"Colorful battles rise in the clouds to open up the mist of dawn, green flowers hold the sun in the sky and overlook the clear river. I feel sorry for the land called Zang in the distance, which is exactly the year of Xijiang's victory. The joy and gratitude are like the sea, and the triumphal songs and birthdays are in the same sky. The humble ministers are also welcome

Luan song, I would like to play it in front of the emperor’s jade.”

As soon as Yang Xingyao finished his last word, the emperor immediately called out "Okay" and walked off the throne with a smile on his face.

The ministers in the cabinet looked at each other one after another, and then someone stood up and all raised their wine glasses in the direction of Yang Zhicheng.

Yang Xingyao took a deep breath and said: "I admire Chen Yuqi, the fourth lady of the Hou family in Chang'an, and would like to marry her. I would like to ask your Majesty to grant her a marriage!"

Yang Xingyao is the only son of the Dian Prince. If he leaves him in the capital, he will naturally no longer have to worry about the situation in southern Xinjiang. In this case, this marriage can be considered.

It has been a custom in Dayan for hundreds of years that princes and princes do not have to kneel down when they see the emperor. Yang Xingyao suddenly made such a big salute. The emperor felt something was wrong and hurriedly said: "Xingyao, there is no need to be polite. If you encounter any difficulties, I will help you."

Mediation is.”

Yang Xingyao's request came out of the blue and was beyond everyone's expectations.

The emperor had an idea and secretly calculated Yang Xingyao's intention. If the prince of the Dian Palace stayed in the capital, it would be equivalent to the Dian Palace leaving a hostage in the capital.

The emperor said: "Yang Aiqing, you have worked hard to guard the southern border for Dayan, and you have made great achievements. Come, come, come, let's all offer a glass of wine to the King of Dian!"

Chen Jinghui, the Marquis of Chang'an, was a military commander and had no interest in composing poetry or singing. He didn't pay much attention to what was said in the center of the hall, and he only cared about drinking and having fun with the people around him.

Yang Xingyao said: "The emperor makes the decision for me. If my wish can be fulfilled, from now on, I am willing to live in the capital and always be by your side!"

When Yang Xingyao saw the emperor walking towards him, he quickly arranged his clothes and was about to kneel down. However, the emperor rushed forward to support him and said with a smile: "Xingyao, there is no need to be polite to me. You are not in good shape yet. How can you have such a good job?"

Your thoughts are enough."

Suddenly, this sentence was really difficult to answer, and the emperor was incomprehensible. Chen Jinghui couldn't figure out the emperor's intentions, and said vaguely: "I am a rough man. I have never paid attention to such things. I will just obey the emperor's arrangements."

yes."

He had just touched a glass of wine with the general beside him, and was holding the glass and preparing to drink it down in one gulp when he saw everyone looking at him. Before he knew what happened, he heard the emperor's deep voice.

: "Marquis of Chang'an, the crown prince of Dian Prince wants to marry your girl, what do you mean?"

Naturally, this sentence meant that the emperor was blaming Chen Jinghui for being tactful. Chen Jinghui pretended not to understand, and said: "I am still very humble in this respect, and I really can't hide it from the emperor."

Seeing that the emperor was so polite to him, Yang Zhicheng hurriedly picked up the wine glass, stood up and thanked him.

For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to Chang'an Hou and his family.

After Yang Xingyao exchanged a few polite words with the ministers, the emperor returned to his seat, picked up the cup, and smiled at His Majesty Yang Zhicheng, the King of Dian, and said: "Yang Aiqing, I have always been worried that if you are a hundred years from now, I, Dayan Nan

Where should the territory be placed, and where should the Dian Palace be placed. Seeing that you have a son today, the foundation of the Dian Palace has finally been passed on, and I feel relieved."

The Prince of Dian's Mansion also knew that he was deeply feared by the court and had always avoided interacting with officials in the capital. When the officials suddenly heard the request of the Prince of Dian's Mansion to marry the Marquis of Chang'an, they didn't know what kind of medicine Yang Xingyao was selling in his gourd.

The emperor glanced at the Marquis of Chang'an for a few times, then suddenly laughed and said: "I remember that when I let you go, you were still a naive person. I didn't expect that you have learned a lot in the past few years since you returned to the capital."

Chen Jinghui suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly threw down his wine glass and walked quickly to the center of the hall. He bowed to the emperor and saluted. The emperor's face remained as usual and he asked again: "I heard that the fourth girl in your family is the apple of your eye. I don't know.

Are you willing to let her marry far away from southern Xinjiang?"

After the ministers drank this glass of wine together, they heard the emperor say again: "Xingyao, I already know the thoughts of your father and son. Dianzhou is poor and it is rare for you to come to the capital. If nothing happens, you might as well stay in the capital for a few more days to recuperate."

."

All the ministers gathered around and praised in unison. Tantai Song, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, said: "In ancient times, Cao Zijian wrote a poem in seven steps, and today, Yang Shizi wrote it into a chapter. The prince is so talented and famous that he deserves his reputation! The emperor's eyes are as bright as a torch, but the ministers' eyesight is clumsy.

, I didn’t know that the prince had such a great talent!”

The Prince of Dian's Mansion is a vassal prince, while the Marquis of Chang'an is a long-established nobleman.

The emperor ignored Chen Jinghui and smiled at Yang Xingyao and asked: "Xingyao, you heard it just now. I asked the Marquis of Chang'an for his opinion. He didn't object. Your marriage is half done."

Yang Xingyao took a step forward, suddenly knelt down on the ground, and said loudly: "I have something to do. Please make the decision for me!"

But the emperor then thought that the Marquis of Chang'an, Chen Jinghui, was now in charge of the military power of the Shenshu Camp, which was one of the three major camps in the capital. If the Marquis of Chang'an and the Prince of Dian were to get married, there would be endless collusion between internal and external forces.

The emperor hesitated for a moment, then said with a kind face: "Xingyao, don't be too happy too early. Marriage is about mutual consent. I haven't asked the girl what she wants."

Yang Xingyao heard the emperor's intention and said with a smile: "Miss Chen Si is a reasonable person. If the Holy One comes forward, she will naturally agree happily..."

Before Yang Xingyao finished speaking, a girl in a lotus-colored skirt ran out of the side hall. She stepped forward quickly, gave a hasty salute to the emperor, and said loudly: "My daughter does not want to marry into the palace of the Dian Prince, please."

The Emperor’s clear warning!”
