Li Yuan.
Half an hour later, Murong and Mu Bai left in a carriage together.
In front of Li Garden, Li Ziye watched the two people leave, and then returned to the house humming a little tune.
Don't tell me, this ninth princess is so pretty.
It would be nice to have her as a wife.
But the butt is not big enough, Sister Youwei may not like it.
Outside the front hall, Bai Wangyu looked at Li Ziye who was in a good mood and asked curiously, "What are you so happy about?"
"I won't tell you."
Li Ziye God returned to the inner courtyard proudly.
He helped the Ninth Princess this time, and maybe the Ninth Princess would agree to him if she was moved.
When the time comes, will he agree?
How difficult it is!
In the inner courtyard, Zhang Sloppy saw Li Ziye walking towards him with a look of nymphomaniac on his face, and knew that this kid was thinking wildly again.
Capital City, on the way back to the palace.
In the carriage, the fourth prince Mu Bai sat there quietly, saying nothing.
Opposite him, Murong stared at his brother with a pair of beautiful eyes. If eyes could kill, Mu Bai might have been chopped into pieces.
"Not intentional."
For a long time, Mu Bai couldn't bear the murderous look in his sister's eyes and took the initiative to apologize.
"Ha, His Highness the Fourth Prince is really powerful. He went to other people's houses to show off his power. If Bai Wangyu hadn't taken the initiative to stop, would His Highness have been planning to fight until nightfall?"
Murong asked with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.
"no."
Mu Bai immediately shook his head and said, "It's just a competition. Even if Bai Wangyu doesn't stop, my brother will stop in time."
He was not a fool. How could he not see that his sister was on the verge of breaking out? He didn't want to hurt innocent people.
"Hey, brother, do you still have this consciousness?"
Murong smiled lightly and said, "Then what did you think of the things I asked you to ask?"
Mu Bai looked startled when he heard this, and then secretly took a breath of air.
It’s over, just focus on the sword competition and forget about the real thing!
really!
When Murong saw this, the light in his eyes became more and more dangerous, and asked, "Brother, have you forgotten?"
Mu Bai was silent, not daring to speak.
Murong closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and endured it several times before suppressing the anger that was rising in his heart.
Men, no one is reliable!
They are all big pig hooves!
"How about we go back and ask again?"
Mu Bai spoke, and although he was panicking, he still looked very calm and asked.
"Need not."
Murong opened his eyes and said calmly, "I've already asked."
"Have you asked?"
Hearing this, Mu Bai was surprised and said, "We came out of Li Garden after we competed with Bai Wangyu. When did you ask?"
"Who said I asked him?" Murong said angrily.
"Instead of asking him, you can still ask"
Mu Bai said half a sentence, then suddenly he looked startled and said in surprise, "You mean Li Ziye?"
"Um."
Murong nodded, with a flash of light in his eyes, and said, "This time, I'm afraid we will owe the Li family a big favor."
She didn't know why Li Ziye wanted to help her, but she couldn't deny the favor.
On the streets, carriages rumbled forward towards the palace.
As the sun was about to set, as he approached the palace, Mu Bai stepped out of the carriage, looked at his sister in the carriage, and said sternly, "If that Li Ziye can really help you this time, I will help you return this favor to my brother. "
After saying that, Mu Bai didn't say anything more, turned around and walked towards his palace.
The three days seemed to pass very peacefully.
Three days later, in the Great Shang Palace, in front of the Fengtian Hall, all the ministers arrived. The Shang Emperor sat on a thousand stone steps, looking down, showing his majesty as an emperor.
The autumn wind blew by, the canopy swayed, and the ministers of Dashang stood under the stone steps one by one, looking a little anxious.
Three days have passed, but no one has come up with the answer.
I heard that His Majesty has asked people from Taixue Palace to help solve the problem. I wonder if there is any result.
On the stone steps, Emperor Shang looked down, his expression calm, without any disturbance.
Yesterday, the Confucian leader sent someone to reply, saying that all three questions have been answered. However, the time is approaching, so why haven't the Confucian people come yet?
"The envoy from Tianyu Palace has arrived."
At this moment, a sharp voice sounded at the end of the stone steps. In front of everyone's attention, outside the Xuanwu Gate, everyone in the temple, led by Yan Xiaoyu and Liu Rongnu, stepped forward.
"coming."
At the bottom of the stone steps, the ministers looked at each other, and their faces became more worried. The people from the temple had arrived, but they had not yet figured out the answers to the three questions. What should they do?
Under the sad eyes of the officials of the Great Shang, everyone in the temple came up, saluted respectfully, and said, "I have met His Majesty the Great Shang."
"No need to be polite."
Emperor Shang spoke calmly.
Everyone in the temple stood up straight, headed by Yan Xiaoyu, who looked up at Emperor Shang in front of Fengtian Palace and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, the three days are up. I wonder if I can give you an answer?"
After saying that, Yan Xiaoyu glanced at the merchant officials on both sides, and the corner of his mouth curved with a subtle hint of ridicule.
Judging from the dejected looks of these losers, they must have not found the answer.
On both sides of the stone steps, when the ministers saw the mocking eyes of the God of the Heavenly Mandate Palace, they were angry but could not say anything.
"hold on."
In front of Fengtian Palace, Emperor Shang spoke calmly.
Below, Yan Xiaoyu heard the words, looked at Emperor Shang on the stone steps, and said, "Your Majesty, please wait. Our temple can naturally wait, but I don't know when."
"One stick of incense." Shang Huang said slowly.
"good!"
Yan Xiaoyu smiled faintly and said, "My temple will wait for one more incense."
In three days, the entire Dashang could not answer the question, and he did not believe that they could make any progress in just one stick of incense.
But it's just delaying the time to admit defeat.
In front of the Fengtian Palace, the old eunuch brought a stick of incense and placed it on the wooden table, lit it with a fire stick, and immediately withdrew.
The incense in the palace is all specially made. The short ones can be burned in two quarters of an hour, while the long ones can last for half an hour.
In order to delay a little more time, the old eunuch deliberately picked the longest one.
At the bottom of the stone steps, Yan Xiaoyu saw the thoughts of the Great Shang court and sneered, but did not reveal it.
Just wait and see how long you can wait.
Outside Fengtian Hall, time passed little by little, the autumn wind blew, and the incense ashes fell. All the officials of Dashang stared at the incense, hoping that it would burn for a while longer.
In front of the ministers, Mu Bai stood there calmly, as calm and composed as ever, as if he had the composure not to panic even if the mountain collapsed.
Murong said, if the Li family's legitimate son comes, then he will definitely come.
He didn't believe in the legitimate son of the Li family, but believed in Murong's vision of people.
"The time for a stick of incense is almost over."
About half an hour later, at the foot of the stone steps, Yan Xiaoyu looked at Emperor Shang in front of Fengtian Palace and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, do you still have to wait?"
"The incense has not been burned out yet, don't worry." Emperor Shang said calmly.
"Ah."
Yan Xiaoyu smiled contemptuously, the rulers and ministers of this great merchant really would not give up until they reached the Yellow River.
On both sides of the stone steps, the ministers of Dashang looked at the incense that was almost finished burning, and their expressions became more and more anxious.
What is your Majesty waiting for? Will someone really come?
"I'm coming!"
At this moment, a young eunuch ran out of Xuanwu Gate with an excited face and said urgently, "Your Majesty, Confucianism Bai Wangyu asked for an audience, and he also brought a young man named Li Ziye."
"Xuan!"
On the dragon chair, Emperor Shang heard this, his eyes burst out with dazzling light, and he shouted.
"yes!"
The little eunuch respectfully accepted the order.
The next moment, outside the Xuanwu Gate, a figure in white Confucian robes stepped forward, attracting everyone's attention and shining brightly.
However, what surprised everyone was that Bai Wangyu was following a young man at this moment. The young man had a face as beautiful as a crown jewel and an extraordinary temperament. He had a calm and confident smile on his face that was unforgettable at a glance. .
The two came to the stone steps. Bai Wangyu took a step forward and saluted respectfully, "Confucianism, Bai Wangyu, see your majesty!"
On the side, Li Ziye followed suit and saluted. His peripheral vision glanced at the surrounding ministers and the Great Shang Emperor above him, with the corners of his mouth slightly curved.
Finally, we got here.
On the dragon chair, Emperor Shang stared at the two people below, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Bai Wangyu, the top disciple of the Confucian sect, came in person, and he should have really solved the three questions.
But why did the Li family's legitimate son also come with him?
"Flat body."
After a brief thought, Emperor Shang gathered his thoughts and spoke.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Below, Bai Wangyu and Li Ziye took orders and immediately stood up at the same time.
Not far away, Yan Xiaoyu saw the two people arriving at this time, and had a bad feeling in his heart. He looked at the incense on the steps that was about to burn out, and urged, "Your Majesty, the time has come, tell me your answer. Bar."
On the dragon chair, Emperor Shang looked at the Confucian disciple below and asked, "Bai Wangyu, have you solved the problem?"
"Resolved."
Bai Wangyu nodded, and said sternly in front of the civil and military envoys of the court and the temple, "However, it is not me who has to solve the problem today, but Mr. Li next to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole court was shocked, and everyone looked at the young man beside Bai Wangyu.
Were those three questions solved by the Li family?
At this moment, even the Shang Emperor on the dragon throne had a condensed expression. Could it be that the person who solved the problem mentioned by the Confucian leader was not Bai Wangyu, but the legitimate son of the Li family?
With everyone watching, Li Ziye did not panic at all. He stepped forward calmly and said, "Messenger of the temple, the three questions you asked are too simple, so I won't bother the courtiers of Dashang or the gentlemen of Confucianism to come forward. I, a common man, can answer that."
"presumptuous!"
Next to Yan Xiaoyu, a temple envoy heard this and said with anger on his face, "Who are you? How dare you speak nonsense here."
"Why, the messengers of the temple are so arrogant that they can't even hear the truth?"
Li Ziye glanced at Yan Xiaoyu and the Dashang envoys behind him, and said righteously, "When these questions arise in the temple, there is no stipulation on who should answer them. Although I am not a courtier of Dashang, nor is I a member of the Taixue Palace. student, but I am a citizen of Dashang, so I have the qualification and obligation to stand here, solve problems for my Dashang, and fight against foreign enemies!"
After saying that, Li Ziye couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up. It was so good that he almost believed it.
"good!"
As soon as Li Ziye finished speaking, Lu Siqing, an old minister with a lot of gray beard on the side of the stone steps, immediately shouted hello and said, "I, the people of Da Shang, should have the heart to serve the country like this."
Before and after, the ministers also nodded with relief. This boy was good and sharp-tongued, and he could be said to have given them a bad breath. In the past few days, they had been ridiculed by the people in the temple, and they had long been irritated.
Under the stone steps, the faces of the temple envoys became very ugly. They looked at the young man in front of them one by one, wishing to eat him alive.
"Young Master Li, you can only use your words to show off, but it is useless. He cannot solve the three questions in my temple. Dashang still loses this bet." Yan Xiaoyu said in a cold voice in front of the envoy of the temple.
"Aren't there just three questions? Look, I'll answer them for you right now!"
While speaking, Li Ziye glanced at everyone present, stood up straight, and cleared his throat. The meaning was obvious.
Everyone, stand still, I'm going to officially start showing off!
