"Jiang Li, your injury is not yet stable, so there is no need to be so restrained. Quickly lie down and give me a seat!"
From the majestic main hall of the Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Jing's gentle and generous voice of concern came.
Four imperial eunuchs wearing double-sleeved robes walked out, carrying a large crimson flaming bird chair and placed it on the left side of the stage, surpassing all the ministers present to show their grandeur.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion!"
Jiang Li nodded, and with the support of several imperial eunuchs, he slowly sat down and leaned on the back of the chair, breathing heavily. His expression was quite tired, as if the oil in the lamp had run out.
"King An Mang conquered the country, opened up territory for us during the Great Zhou Dynasty, and made great contributions to the vast sea. He is actually the most outstanding hero of the Northern Expedition. This time I call you back to the capital. Firstly, I want to heal your damaged body. I have sent you to Jiuzhou Yan." The Que clan issued an edict, ordering their clan to sacrifice essence and blood and arrange a Small Nirvana Array to stabilize their physical body.
"Secondly, I want to hold a wedding ceremony for you in your canonization hall at the same time. You will have a heir as soon as possible, so that there will be successors to the Anmang royal family, and I can trust you with peace of mind to entrust the vast Mangzhou state to you!" Emperor Jing said loudly.
"The Holy Spirit will grant me a marriage!"
Jiang Li frowned slightly. He pressed the armrests of Yanque's chair with both hands and slowly supported his body. "I feel deeply concerned about you. However, I was born in a poor family. My body is already broken. I don't have much life left. I have no intention of getting married." , if a girl of our family is allowed to marry a lowly minister, her life may be delayed.
"Besides, I have been dependent on my maid Chuchu since I was a child. Although she has a low status, she is already an indispensable person around me. It is enough to have her by my side!"
"Jiang Li, I know your intentions, but as the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you have a high and powerful position, how can you have no concubines and no heirs? After a hundred years, who will guard my vast wilderness?"
Emperor Jing smiled faintly when he heard this, and his voice was gentle and kind: "It is common for a prince of the Zhou Dynasty to have three wives and four concubines. I have also heard Yun Le talk about the beginning of your relationship with your maid, but after all, she was from a lowly background and could not bear the responsibility of being the head of the palace. Mother's responsibility is also inconsistent with etiquette and law. Even if you give birth to an heir, you will not be qualified to inherit the throne.
"But I think that she has a deep love for you, so I can make an exception and make her the equal wife of Prince Anmang, and give her a third-grade imperial title. However, the royal wife still has to marry a daughter of a wealthy family!"
"Your Majesty..."
Hearing this, Jiang Li's eyes flashed, and he wanted to express his feelings again, but was directly interrupted by Emperor Jing's wave of his hand: "Jiang Li, you are both my minister and my adopted son, and I have a lot to do with Gang and Li. You are qualified to make a lifelong decision, do you really want to resist my decree and live up to my good intentions?"
Emperor Jing's voice was still kind and gentle, even if it contained a hint of scolding, it was like a father's reprimand and instruction to his beloved son.
However, the majesty of the emperor pouring down from the high platform of the main hall has a decisive aura that cannot be disobeyed and must do what he says.
"Wei Chen doesn't dare!"
Jiang Li bowed and nodded, clenching the fists hidden in his sleeves imperceptibly, "I just don't know, which big family's girl will the Holy Lord marry to Wei Chen?"
"You are no stranger to this person, and you don't even need to renew this engagement!
Emperor Jing said gently: "Liu Qingshu, the granddaughter of Qianjunhou Liu Honglie, is dignified in appearance and natural beauty. She was born in the Qianjunhou Palace. She has six generations of loyal ancestors. She is one of our prominent families in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Her family reputation and her own background are all good. Match you.
"Although she entered into engagements with others three times, she was never actually betrothed. As for the mystery of the unexpected death of her three fiancés, I have already found out the reason. It is not the legendary luck of the husband, but her soul is different. It is a powerful ghost and immortal who has reincarnated and reincarnated!"
As soon as Emperor Jing finished speaking, everyone in the palace was shocked.
"The granddaughter of the Liu family is the reincarnation of a powerful ghost and fairy?"
"But in the legend, all the powerful beings are ghosts and immortals who have experienced six thunder tribulations. However, in ancient times, the strongest known ghosts and immortals have only three thunder tribulations!"
"Liu Qingshu is a figure from the medieval era, that must be the case!"
"No wonder the people who signed a marriage contract with her before died in various accidents for no reason. Not everyone can bear such opportunities and luck!"
"So, the hysteria she suffered from is actually related to the memory of the soul that was reincarnated. In the late Middle Ages, the rules of the Tao were suppressed, and it was difficult for ghosts and immortals with more than three thunder tribulations to survive and hide. How did she turn around after being dismembered from life to life? of?"
All the civil and military officials in the palace were talking a lot, and they were all surprised by Liu Qingshu's true identity.
"Jiang Li, your body has been destroyed by Hai Shiqi, the spy of the Ghost Ancestor. It is difficult to cure even with the methods of human immortals. But if Liu Qingshu can gradually recover as the suppression of the rules of the avenue is reduced, he may one day be able to rebuild your body. !" Emperor Jing said in harmony.
"Your Majesty has been very kind to me, and I am deeply grateful!"
Jiang Li clasped his hands together and bowed, but his thoughts were flashing in an instant.
Not to mention whether Liu Qingshu was really the reincarnation of the Six Tribulations Ghost Immortal, Emperor Jing's intention to re-establish his engagement with Qianjun Houfu was not as simple as he said.
Above the court, Emperor Jing conveyed his decree with the pressure of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even though Jiang Li was unwilling, it was inconvenient for him to disobey and resist at this time.
However, as long as he is unwilling to accept it, there are thousands of ways to break it.
The only thing worth caring about is actually Jinghuang's hidden will and intention.
What secrets and special features did Liu Qingshu have that deserved Emperor Jing’s pressure to force him to...
Jiang Li sat down again and glanced at Qianjunhou Liu Honglie who was standing not far away.
But I saw that the latter's expression was also very strange, looking worried.
He didn’t seem to be happy or disappointed because Liu Qingshu’s engagement with him was established!
This made him even more curious.
After that, Emperor Jing determined the time for Jiang Li's canonization ceremony and the person responsible for hosting it.
Jiang Li was crowned king due to the Northern Expedition of the Great Zhou Dynasty. His canonization ceremony was, to a certain extent, an opportunity for the Great Zhou Dynasty to once again promote the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty to the world of Kyushu.
It must be treated with caution and careful preparation.
The canonization ceremony is scheduled for one month later, and the person responsible for the preparations is none other than the third prince, Sima Yun.
As one of the five legitimate sons of Emperor Jing, he is the only prince without a formal official rank.
As an adult, he has been studying and cultivating Confucianism in the Confucian Temple, and has not been involved in any government or military affairs.
This time, I was ordered to plan the canonization ceremony of King An Mang, and he had just been conferred the title of Shaoqing of the Fourth Rank Honglu Temple by Emperor Jing.
After all matters were discussed, the eunuch in charge of the supervision announced loudly that he would withdraw from the court.
The Manchu Wenwu Mountain shouted long live and retreated out.
Jiang Li also walked out of the hall with the support of several eunuchs in front of the hall.
Many ministers, including the Governor-General Huangfu Muchuan and the Confucian Temple Master Li Changgeng, were waiting outside the palace. When they saw Jiang Li walking out, they stepped forward one after another.
But seeing that Jiang Li looked tired and exhausted, and knowing that his injury was not healed, he only exchanged a few words, so he was considerate and took the initiative to leave.
When they arrived outside the palace, the third prince Sima Yun and the fifth prince Sima Jian were already waiting outside. Behind them was a purple gold carriage that was exactly the same as the previously destroyed carriage.
"King Anmang, this is the chariot that my father gave you again. The princes and princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty all have rewarded houses in Shengjing City. Your palace of Prince Anmang has not been repaired yet. In the near future, you can go to my mansion first. Go settle in and recuperate!”
Sima Yun cupped his hands and said: "The imperial doctors from the Royal Hospital will also examine your injuries from tomorrow and prescribe precious medicine and secret medicine to help you stabilize your injuries!"
"Thank you Third Prince for your kindness, but I still go to Yingyue Villa to recuperate. I have been away from the capital for more than a year, and the conquests continue. I want to relax in the village for a few days!"
Jiang Li smiled in return and declined politely.
"That's fine. King An Mang has been away from the capital for a long time, so I won't bother him anymore. I will visit Yingyue Villa in a few days. The imperial doctor from the Royal Hospital will go directly to the Villa to diagnose and treat you!"
Sima Yun nodded, without any reluctance, and left with Sima Jian to say goodbye.
Jiang Li also boarded the chariot and headed out of Shengjing City under the escort of Sergeant An Mang.
As the team moved forward, the streets leading outside Shengjing City were still crowded with people who wanted to see King Anmang of Great Zhou again.
Although they all took the initiative to step aside and salute when they saw Jiang Li's team approaching, it still made the team move much slower.
"King An Mang, go slow!"
When the team was almost halfway, there was suddenly a rapid sound of horse hooves coming from behind.
Mo Yunliang, who was guarding the outside of the chariot, looked back when he heard the sound and saw a tall man wearing a flaming bird and red robe, galloping towards him.
The laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty were very strict, and no one was allowed to gallop on the main roads in the city unless they had the warrants of princes and princes.
And those who can wear the Flame Sparrow robe must at least have a meritorious title.
"It's Qian Junhou!"
Mo Yunliang looked into the distance, and after seeing the face of the incoming man clearly, he quickly stopped Sergeant An Mang, who was holding a halberd and a bow.
"Mr. Mo, please report to King An Mang and ask for an audience with Qianjunhou Liu Honglie!"
A tall man with thick black hair and a tall body like a god and demon galloped forward, reined in the reins, sat down on the black horse and stopped immediately.
Liu Honglie jumped off his horse and saluted with clasped fists.
Like the Marquis of Zhenwu, he was a Marquis of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he was one level lower than Jiang Li in terms of rank.
"Mo Yunliang, please invite thousands of troops to enter the chariot!"
Jiang Li's weak voice came from the purple gold chariot guarded by the soldiers.
Upon hearing this, Sergeant An Mang immediately separated and made way for a passage.
Liu Honglie didn't say much, walked directly through the crowd, jumped on the chariot, pushed the door open and entered.
"You're fine, Qianjun Hou. I wanted to chat with you for a few words when we were in the main hall, but I'm sick and I really can't hold on!"
Jiang Li leaned on the soft couch in the carriage and saluted with a smile.
"Jiang Li, you must never fulfill your engagement with Qing Shu!"
Liu Honglie strode into the car. He closed the door and whispered urgently. The first words he spoke surprised Jiang Li.
"Does Qian Junhou care about my disabled body?"
Jiang Li smiled and said: "Actually, the military commander aside, Jiang Li is also self-aware. However, in the main hall, as a minister, it is not good for him to disobey the monarch in public. I am planning to go directly to the palace to see the Holy Master after some time to persuade him. Take back your will!”
"Jiang Li, what you said is different. Am I, Liu Honglie, the kind of person who is short-sighted, caressing, and calculates gains and losses?"
Liu Honglie was startled when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed and angry, his blood was surging, and his black hair was blowing coldly without the wind.
"To tell you the truth, as early as more than a year ago, before you left Beijing, I was stationed at the Great Wall in the north. When I knew that you were the one who entered into an engagement with Qingshu, I never planned to turn down the engagement."
Liu Honglie sat cross-legged opposite Jiang Li, "If Qing Shu can marry you, it will be a great blessing cultivated by the sixth generation of my Liu family. How can I break the contract because your body is destroyed? Even if your Qi and martial arts no longer exist, you are still How can the strategies, magnanimity, and character of the Great Zhou Qilin and the God of Hundred Wars be replaced by mere force?"
"Since Qian Junhou values Jiang Li so much, why do you want to stop my engagement with Qing Shu?" Jiang Li asked calmly and calmly.
"Jiang Li, I am here to save you!"
Liu Honglie's face was anxious, and his brows were covered with worries. Even his fist spirit was somewhat obscured, "Qingshu's situation is not as simple as what the Holy One said. When she was young, she and her mother returned to the province to visit relatives, and the team encountered an evil wind. After the wind calmed down, the team lost nothing except Qingshu, who mysteriously disappeared and has not been seen since!"
Liu Honglie whispered urgently, fully informing Jiang Li of everything.
Liu Qingshu disappeared mysteriously when he was young, and the Qianjunhou Mansion tried its best to search for him for ten years, but to no avail.
Unexpectedly, just when the Liu family was disheartened and about to give up, Liu Qingshu, who had disappeared for ten years, suddenly appeared outside the gate of the Hou Mansion.
As one of the prominent families in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Liu family has its own means to determine the authenticity of Liu Qingshu's identity, and can even detect whether her soul was captured by a Taoist master.
After verifying Liu Qingshu's identity, the Liu family was overjoyed. They doted on Liu Qingshu in every possible way and wanted to make up for all the shortcomings in the past. They were even more curious about her experiences over the years.
Liu Qingshu knew all about this, saying that she was swept away by an evil wind when she was young. When she woke up, she had arrived on a small island outside Kyushu and was taken in and raised by a mysterious old woman. According to legend, She teaches Taoism, but she is forbidden to call her master.
After ten years of hard training, Liu Qingshu's Taoist realm has improved rapidly, and he is already a Taoist master who has reached the peak of Seizing Body Realm.
The old woman also ran out of oil, her lamp ran out, and she died sitting down.
After Liu Qingshu said goodbye to the old woman, he relied on his memory to cross a thousand miles of ocean, re-enter Kyushu, and return to Qianjunhou Mansion.
In the following years, everything was normal for Liu Qingshu, and his Taoist realm continued to improve, and he soon became qualified to attack the realm of ghosts and immortals.
At that time, Liu Honglie was demoralized in the Qianjun Hou Mansion. Due to the battle of Tianjian Gorge, his realm fell and he was demoted to the Bo Mansion.
Several sons have mediocre qualifications. Although they are all officers in the army, their grades and abilities are limited.
Liu Qing's Dao Shu method is about to be completed, which naturally becomes the hope for the Qianjunhou Mansion to rise again.
However, when she was entering the realm of ghosts and immortals, she encountered an accident.
Suddenly, endless Yin evil power flew out of the body of the newly condensed ghost and immortal, shrouding and imprisoning her soul. Not only did she lose all her Taoism, but she also fell into a state similar to hysteria, sometimes awake and sometimes blurred.
After Liu Honglie re-entered the realm of the Martial Saint, he once thought that with his Martial Saint body, masculinity and raw fist spirit, he could help Liu Qingshu expel the evil force entangled in his soul.
Therefore, after the Northern Expedition, Liu Honglie returned to Shengjing and stayed behind closed doors to clear away the evil spirits for his granddaughter.
In the beginning, everything did go as he wished. The sinister aura that enveloped Liu Qingshu's soul was constantly being refined and refined.
The time Liu Qingshu fell into a state of hysteria became less and less.
It once lasted for ten days, keeping my soul clear and clear, and even restored some ghost and fairy powers.
But one day a month ago, Liu Qingshu, who had been trapped at home for several years due to illness, left Shengjing City under the protection of the guards of the Qianjunhou Mansion. While traveling around the city, his soul transformed again.
Under the scorching sun, the Yin God suddenly left his body and flew into the cloud sky until he reached the thunder pool above the void. He passed through tribulations one after another and became a three-tribulation ghost and immortal in one fell swoop!
