"He took the bait!"
Zhangsun Wuji revealed a look of joy and said calmly,""Brother Li, do you know the background of Prince Tuli?”
"Of course, it's not a secret that Tuli is the son of the Eastern Turkic Shibi Khagan.”
Zhangsun Wuji smiled." That's right. Tuli is the legitimate son of Shibi Khan. According to the rules of the grassland, after Shibi Khan dies, Tuli should take over the throne. However, Tuli was too young at that time, so the younger brother of Shibi Khan, Chuluo, temporarily took over the position of Khan. He wanted to wait until Tuli became an adult before returning the throne to Tuli.”
Li Shi Min seemed to understand something and quickly said,"And then?"
" No one expected that Chuluo Khagan would not return the throne to Tuli after he grew up. Instead, he passed the position to his son, who is now the Jie Li Khagan!" Zhangsun Wuji said in a deep voice. This matter was originally strongly opposed by the Shi Bi tribe, but Jie Li was very resourceful. In less than two years, he suppressed the power left behind by the Shi Bi Khagan and firmly secured the throne!”
Li Shiming let out a long sigh of relief. He had a rough idea of the situation, but after listening to Zhangsun Wuji's analysis, he had a completely different feeling.
"Mr. Zhangsun, you mean…there is a conflict between the Khan of Jie Li and Prince Tuli?”
"The feud of seizing the throne is not just a contradiction, it's like fire and water. If not for the protection of Shibi Khan's trusted tribe, Tuli would have died a hundred times over.”
Li Shi Min looked up at Tuli who was sitting beside Nalan and said meaningfully,"What about the War God Hall's stance?"
Zhangsun Wuji saw that Li Shiming had thought of this key point so quickly and couldn't help but nod in his heart. He said,""Jie Li is extremely ambitious and has the demeanor of a lord. He can't coexist with War God Hall. Therefore, War God Hall hoped to elect the weaker Tuli as the successor Khan. Only then could War God Hall stabilize its position. He had brought Tuli to propose to Princess Ji Du to increase his power.”
"I see."
Li Shi Min looked at Zhangsun Wuji with admiration,""Mister Zhangsun is worthy of being the young master of Profound Secrets Pavilion.”
"Brother Li and I hit it off at first sight, so there's no need to be so polite. Come, let this little brother toast you.”
Just as Zhangsun Wuji and Li Shiming were chatting enthusiastically, a commotion suddenly erupted in the arena.
It turned out that during the banquet, someone had suggested that the candidates for the Joust For A Spouse should perform a demonstration for Princess Ji Du. This suggestion immediately received a lot of approval. The elites were also rubbing their fists, wanting to show off their strengths in front of Yang Ziyu.
Yuwen Huaji took the opportunity to ally with Xiao Cong, causing the two clans to send out three elite warriors each. They first pretended to fight, then took the opportunity to invite him to fight, wanting to use this opportunity to seriously injure him.
Who would have thought that Tuli would not be at a disadvantage when facing six experts at the same time? Instead, he was at ease and easily beat the six people one by one, showing the demeanor of an expert.
Li Shi Min's pupils contracted as he looked at the majestic Tuli and sighed,"Tuli is so powerful. Even the number one expert of the Heavenly Policy Prefecture, Pang Yu, is not his match. Alas, if Princess Ji Du were to end up in the Eastern Turks, not only would our Great Sui lose face, but it would also shake King Reliance's resolve and cause the borders to become unstable.”
The corners of Zhangsun Wuji's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a confident expression. Now, everything was finally back under his control.
However, when Zhangsun Wuji raised his head and saw Yang Guang on the high platform, his expression turned bitter. He remembered that he would have to suffer 30 strokes of the cane in a while, and cold sweat could not help but appear on his forehead.
"This Tuli has actually reached the Innate Realm?”
On the high platform, Yang Guang looked at Tuli who was showing off his might and couldn't help but reveal a thoughtful expression.
At this moment, Cao Zheng Ying came forward and said,"Your Majesty…everything is ready."
Yang Guang nodded slightly, stood up, and walked into the back hall.
The Emperor's departure meant that the banquet had come to an end. Soon, everyone dispersed one by one. Yang Ziyu was about to leave when Cao Zheng Ying stopped her and respectfully invited her to the back hall.
"Yu 'er greets Your Majesty…"
After a while, Yang Ziyu walked into the hall with light footsteps. Her outfit today was even lighter. Although she didn't have any makeup, it still couldn't hide her stunning appearance. Her actions were not feminine at all, but she had a delicate and graceful air to her.
Yang Guang sat behind the table and said sternly,""Come and sit down!"
Yang Ziyu listened to Yang Guang's stern tone and was a little confused. She quickly walked forward obediently and carefully sat beside Yang Guang.
"Give me your hand!" Yang Guang snorted.”
Yang Ziyu was shocked. After a moment of hesitation, she extended her right hand. Her originally fair and smooth palm was now covered in blood and even bruised.
When Yang Guang saw this, his frown deepened and he reprimanded,"Since you're so heavily injured, why are you still forcing yourself to attend the banquet?”
After saying that, Yang Guang took out a small box from behind him. He took out a white handkerchief and medicinal wine from it and carefully smeared it on Yang Ziyu.
"Your Majesty…"
Yang Ziyu's eyes were filled with tears. Only then did she know that Yang Guang was worried about her. Looking at Yang Guang who personally applied medicine for her, she was really touched to the extreme.
"Don't be so reckless in the future, understand?”
Yang Ziyu revealed a sweet expression, but she said unwillingly,"Yu 'er just didn't use the Heaven-Defying Sword. Otherwise, that person wouldn't have been able to get any benefits!”
"You…"
Yang Guang shook his head and said," Don't underestimate that woman with the peacock mask. Even if you use the Heaven-Defying Sword, you're still not her match. Don't provoke her again in the future."”
Just as Yang Ziyu was about to reply, she saw Cao Zheng Ying leading a group of palace maids in. Each of them was holding a jade plate.
"Zhen saw that you did not eat much at the banquet, so he asked the imperial kitchen to prepare some meals to replenish blood and remove blood stasis. You can accompany Zhen to eat.”
Cao Zheng Ying immediately retreated to the side.
Yang Ziyu looked at the table full of delicacies and couldn't help but feel hungry. She picked up her chopsticks and took a bite. Then, she closed her eyes and savored it. A moment later, she opened her eyes and praised,"Your Majesty is so lucky. Yu 'er has never eaten such delicious food before."”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:011720192:32PM
