"Li Ping Yang, if you want to fight, then fight. Don't think that our Great Gan is afraid of your Nanming. This old man is also telling you that there is no way for the marriage to happen!”
The Prime Minister Zhangsun Ming Lang pointed at Li Ping Yang and angrily rebuked.
Zhangsun Ming Lang was Gu Qingge's maternal grandfather. Not only was Gu Qingge the Saint Child of the Great Qian Dynasty, but he was also his eldest grandson's precious granddaughter.
There was no way the Nanming Empire could force Gu Qingge into marriage through threats!
"That's right, there are many grudges between Da Qian and Nanming, so this is not a big deal. If you don't know what's good for you, Nanming, then we'll beat you!”
The Minister of War, Quan Yushu, was also furious as he shouted at Li Ping Yang.
"If the Nanming Empire dares to have designs on Princess Yongning of our dynasty and offend our Great Gan, I will make sure you never return!”
All of a sudden, all the officials burst into rage and cursed Li Ping Yang.
It was true that the Nanming Empire was powerful, but the Great Qian Empire was not to be trifled with either.
They had already threatened him, so how could they let Li Ping Yang be?
If you want to fight, then fight!
Ever since the Great Qian Empire was founded, they had fought countless wars with the Nanming Empire.
Did they really think that the Great Qian Empire was afraid of the Nanming Empire?
Li Ping Yang's expression changed slightly.
He didn't expect the Great Gan Empire to be so stubborn.
From the emperor to the civil and military officials.
He would rather start a war with the Nanming Empire than marry Gu Qingge to him!
For a moment, Li Ping Yang lost his confidence and began to panic.
"Crown Prince Kang, if there's nothing else, please forgive me for not seeing you off!”
"If Nanming wants to start a war, our Da Qian will be ready to fight!”
Gu Tianqi waved his sleeve and directly gave the order to leave.
"Great Qian Emperor, lords, please calm down.”
At this moment, Zhu Yuanqing, who had been watching from the side, finally spoke.
Seeing this, Gu Tianqi frowned. Although he was still furious, his anger had eased a lot. He asked again,"This is a matter between Da Qian and Nanming. Does Void Sacred Land want to interfere?”
The reason why the Transcendence Sacred Land was able to become a Transcendence Sacred Land was because of its strength.
Gu Tianqi could ignore the Nanming Empire, but he still had to give face to the Void Sacred Land.
Zhu Yuanqing looked at Gu Tianqi and said indifferently,"My Void Sacred Land has a good relationship with the Nanming Empire. Today, I represent the Void Sacred Land to witness the marriage between the Great Qian and Nanming families.”
The corners of Zhu Yuanqing's mouth curled up slightly, and a smile appeared. His gaze was deep, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
On the surface, he was amiable, but his words were filled with a blatant threat.
Zhu Yuanqing had been humiliated by Gu Qingge and Gu Changsheng that day, and he had already accumulated a grudge in his heart.
If he couldn't defeat the siblings, he would attack the entire Great Qian Dynasty!
"This…"
The moment Zhu Yuanqing spoke, he represented Void Sacred Land. All the officials were speechless and didn't dare to speak.
Li Ping Yang was instantly filled with confidence.
As for Gu Tianqi, his expression was not very good.
The Great Qian Empire could compete with the Nanming Empire, but they couldn't go head to head with the Void Sacred Land.
The moment Zhu Yuanqing opened his mouth, he had intimidated the entire Great Gan Empire. This was the power of the Transcendent Sacred Land.
Once the Nanming Empire allied with the Void Sacred Land, the Great Qian Empire would be in danger!
That day when Zhu Yuanqing was beaten up by Gu Qingge, it was considered a fair contest between the younger generation.
? Zhu Yuanqing wasn't a Holy Son after all, so he couldn't represent the entire Void Sacred Land.
Hence, the Void Sacred Land wouldn't help Zhu Yuanqing regain his face.
However, it was different now. Zhu Yuanqing had directly brought up the Void Sacred Land.
There was a high chance that they would become enemies with Void Sacred Land!
The consequences were unimaginable!
"I will consider this matter carefully. Please go and rest for the time being.”
As the ruler of a country, Gu Tianqi should take the country's affairs as his own responsibility. He naturally could not act on impulse.
"Please don't make us wait too long, Great Qian Emperor.”
With that, Zhu Yuanqing and Li Ping Yang were led away by the people from the Ministry of Rites.
After Zhu Yuanqing and Li Pingyang left, Gu Tianqi sighed helplessly. He swept his gaze across the civil and military officials and asked,"My dear ministers, what do you think?”
"Hmph, the Nanming Empire is clearly using their power to bully others. Your Majesty, you must not agree to this! Princess Yong Ning is an important talent of our country. If we agree to the Nanming Empire, wouldn't that mean that our Great Qian Empire is weak and easily bullied?”
One of the generals coldly snorted and stepped forward.
The Nanming Empire was clearly going too far!
They actually allied with the Transcendent Sacred Land to put pressure on their Great Gan Empire!
"But if we don't agree and the Nanming Empire joins forces with the Void Sacred Land, our Great Gan Empire will be in danger if war breaks out!”
A civil official sighed and said helplessly.
"Then let's fight! What's there to be afraid of? Since the founding of our Great Qian Empire, we have developed from a small empire to the majestic empire we are today. What's there to be afraid of?”
"The strength of the Transcendent Sacred Land is extraordinary. Once the Void Sacred Land makes a move, our majestic empire will be at risk of being destroyed.”
"Hmph, so what? My Great Qian Empire isn't some pushover. I don't believe that the Void Empire will fight to the death with my Great Qian Empire!”
For a time, the civil and military officials were in a heated argument, each expressing their own opinions.
Especially that old thing, the Grand General, who strongly supported Gu Qingge's marriage.
However, most of them were against marriage.
At this moment, a Daoist who was not very old, but had a long beard, wore a Daoist robe, and held a horsetail whisk stood out. He said respectfully to Gu Tianqi,"Your Majesty, I feel that our Great Gan Empire needs to agree to this marriage alliance with the Nanming Empire.”
As soon as this person spoke, all the officials fell silent and looked at him. Clearly, this person's status in the court was not low.
Gu Tianqi frowned when he heard this. He also looked at this person and asked,"What does Imperial Preceptor mean?"
This person was Daoist Ling Kong, the Imperial Advisor of the Great Qian Dynasty. He was in charge of the Imperial Astronomical Supervisor, observing the stars and predicting the fate of the country. He held a high position in the imperial court and had a great influence.
Daoist Ling Kong's position in the imperial court was very special, and his strength was also mysterious and unpredictable. All the officials only knew that the Imperial Advisor had already reached the Celestial Realm in eighty years and was highly valued by the Emperor.
Even Gu Tianqi had to consider his words and actions carefully.
"Your Majesty, I have been feeling uneasy recently and have been calculating the fate of the country several times. Recently, the fate of our Great Gan has been fluctuating. If I am not careful about the marriage, it will bring irreversible disaster to our Great Gan!”
"Princess Yong Ning was born in the royal family, so she should repay the dynasty. If sacrificing a princess can stabilize the dynasty's destiny, Your Majesty, the world is the most important!”
Daoist Ling Kong waved the horsetail whisk in his hand and said leisurely.
"Let's discuss this matter again. I'm leaving."
Helplessly, Gu Tianqi sighed. This was a matter of national importance, and there was no way they could reach a conclusion in a short period of time. Thus, he directly withdrew from the court meeting.
This matter still needed to be decided by Gu Qingge first.
If Gu Qingge was willing to marry for the sake of the dynasty, then Gu Tianqi could not say anything.
However, based on Gu Qingge's personality, he would definitely not be willing to be reduced to a pawn for a marriage alliance.
Therefore, Gu Tianqi decided to discuss it with Gu Qingge first.
Worry!
The pressure was huge!
