Chapter 207 - Go Together
~
"Yeah, that's great!" Xiaoyi was not polite to Emperor Mingwu, grabbed the cup of Guiyan Qinghao, and drank it. This time he knew he had tasted it carefully, so he didn't drink it all at once. It was a little slower, but after a few seconds, the cup bottomed out quickly, "It's delicious!"
Ye Chen on the side couldn't help smiling wryly, Xiaoyi drinking tea is like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit - I don't know the taste.
After a while, both Ye Chen and Ah Li's teacups had bottomed out, and Ye Chen only felt that his whole body was extremely warm and moist. This Guiyan Qinghao is really a good thing for warming the meridians!
There was a burst of laughter like silver bells in the distance, and some children were playing and playing in the imperial garden, which was a warm and peaceful scene. Among these children, there are a few girls, about fourteen or fifteen years old, who have grown into a graceful figure.
Emperor Mingwu looked over there, rarely showing a calm and peaceful smile.
"Those are His Majesty's children?" Ye Chen followed the gaze of Emperor Ming Wu.
"Yes, I have sixteen children in total. The elder one is already fifteen years old, and the younger one is just one month old." Emperor Mingwu smiled slightly.
Emperor Mingwu had children in his thirties. For a strong man with a long lifespan like Emperor Mingwu, it was not too late to have children in his thirties.
The royal family is different, there are actually sixteen children.
"Among my children, Zhi'er is already fifteen years old, and she is now a graceful woman, definitely the most beautiful woman in the imperial capital. Ye Chen, let me be a matchmaker and betroth Zhi'er to you, okay?" Ming Wu The emperor looked at Ye Chen and said.
"Your Majesty is joking!" Ye Chen didn't take this sentence seriously.
"I'm not joking." Emperor Mingwu said seriously. Although Ye Chen has no official status, the Ye family is not a big family. But Ye Chen has shown enough talent that he is definitely qualified to marry a princess.
"No, no, no, this won't work." Ye Chen realized that Emperor Ming Wu was not joking, and said anxiously, blushing.
"Could it be that Ye Chen thinks that Zhi'er is not good enough for you?" Emperor Ming Wu's expression was serious.
"No, how can I, Ye Chen, be worthy of Princess Zhi'er." Ye Chen said, after a moment of embarrassment. He finally calmed down, joked, let himself marry a princess he didn't know at all, how could this be possible? Marriage without feelings will not be happy. Emperor Mingwu said that he wanted to betroth a princess to himself, most of which meant to win over, and it was okay to refuse.
"Ye Chen is humble.
Among the younger generation, no one is more qualified than you..." Emperor Mingwu was speaking when he was interrupted by a rapid knock on the table, and followed the sound. , I saw Ari beating the table with his paws with an angry expression on his face.
The two chatted happily. Put her aside! If Ye Chen dared to marry that princess as his wife, Ari thought of this, and with a "shua", she showed her sharp paw, put her right front paw on the table, and slowly pulled it back. With a sound of "Zi", three deep paw prints and many stone chips were left on the stone table.
Ye Chen saw this. Looking at Emperor Mingwu, he spread his hands helplessly.
Emperor Ming Wu's face froze, he laughed and said, "That's all, let's not talk about it." After all, he is the lord of a country, so he can't lower his status and force the princess to Ye Chen.
Seeing that Emperor Ming Wu didn't mention this, Ye Chen was relieved, and Ah Li's expression softened a little.
"Ye Chen, I have one more request." Emperor Mingwu restrained his smile and said solemnly.
"I don't know what your Majesty is asking for?" Ye Chen asked. The matter of proposing marriage for the princess just now was probably just a gesture of favor, so the next step is the real topic.
Emperor Mingwu turned his head and ordered: "Fuquan, go and call Xiang'er over."
Could it be another princess, Ye Chen couldn't help thinking.
After a while, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy with a thick head and a thick head came over. He was wearing a thin shirt, and when he was walking, he was as aggressive as a grown-up, looking a little cute.
"Father." The little boy said respectfully when he saw Emperor Mingwu.
Emperor Mingwu touched the little boy's head, looked at Ye Chen and said, "His name is Yin Xiang, he is my fifth son, and he is the most talented among his many brothers."
Ye Chen was a little puzzled. Why did Emperor Mingwu tell himself this?
Emperor Mingwu had a somewhat desolate expression on his face, and he sighed slightly: "You may be a little confused, why am I telling you this. I want to ask you one thing, if I die and the Xiwu Empire is destroyed, please You take care of Xiang'er and leave a trace of blood for my Yin family. I don't ask him to return to the country, I just hope that he can live in peace like an ordinary person."
"Father." Yin Xiang didn't know why his father said this, tears rolled in his eyes.
Ye Chen's heart trembled. The words of Emperor Mingwu sound like last words. It stands to reason that although the Xiwu Empire has fallen, it doesn't seem that serious at the moment. There is no danger of the country being destroyed in recent years, right?
"Your Majesty is serious, Your Majesty is at the peak of spring and autumn." Ye Chen said.
Emperor Mingwu interrupted Ye Chen, and said with a free and easy smile: "Actually, it is not always true. Although the Xiwu Empire seems to be able to maintain on the surface, it is actually undercurrents. In two months, it will be the day when the forbidden area will be opened. "
"For the opening of the Forbidden Domain, you only need to send 20 masters above the tenth rank to enter. Your Majesty should still have many masters of the tenth rank and strong earthly ones. They should be able to tide over the difficulties. "Ye Chen said, Ye Chen has seen the battle on Huxin Island, and Emperor Mingwu still has many masters under his command.
"It is true. Over the past few hundred years, countless elite patriots have been killed or injured in the forbidden area. Every time, the entire army is wiped out, which makes the talents of the Xiwu Empire wither. If you continue to send courtiers to the forbidden area I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of all the officials, this time I am going to go to the forbidden area in person!" Emperor Mingwu said firmly.
"Father..." Yin Xiang cried, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to say it.
"Your Majesty, why do you need to take the risk yourself?" Ye Chen asked in surprise, never expecting Emperor Mingwu to have such a plan.
"In this Xiwu Empire, no one is more suitable than me to go to the forbidden area. The Xiwu Empire has lost so many games in a row in the forbidden area, and there must be someone to turn the tide. Either live or die, although I am the so-called nine-five Your Majesty, but in fact he is just an ordinary person, when he gets angry, his blood is spattered three feet, and the country has been passed down for thousands of years, we cannot allow the barbarian country to bully us!" Emperor Mingwu was a little emotional. But still calm and composed.
Ye Chen understood that once a person like Emperor Mingwu made a decision, he would definitely not change it. Ye Chen was a little moved by Emperor Mingwu's words and fell silent.
"I have been in the Ming Dynasty for ten years. At that time, the Xiwu Empire was still in chaos. Troops were everywhere. Although I am a prince, I have traveled to various counties and seen too many sufferings among the people. In troubled times, human life It’s like a mustard. There are even human tragedies like changing children and eating them. The rebel army is like locusts crossing the border, and even eats people like livestock. After I succeeded to the throne, I devoted myself to rectifying the Xiwu Empire and slaughtered millions of rebels in a year. Those who rebelled will be killed! Many county kings have been wiped out by me. Countless masters have been killed, and many people of the same clan have also been killed by me. Many people say that I am a tyrant. I hold a butcher knife in my hand. Smile, so what if I am a tyrant, I only firmly believe in my martial arts! Even if millions of wronged souls are haunted, I have a clear conscience!" An aura was released from Emperor Mingwu, and Ye Chen couldn't help but feel the fierce killing intent. Shocked, Emperor Mingwu didn't use his full strength when he was alone fighting against the two masters of Taiyi Sword Sect and Tiankui Xingzong. People like Dongmen Yingyang couldn't compare with Emperor Mingwu at all.
Ye Chen only heard that Emperor Mingwu had killed many people before, but after seeing Emperor Mingwu himself, he felt that he was not as tyrannical as in the legend. Now that he heard Emperor Mingwu's words with his own ears, he felt something different in his heart. In such a chaotic world, it is impossible to deter the heroes without drastic means, and some extremes are inevitable.
"If the Xiwu Empire falls into the hands of the barbarians, it will inevitably be destroyed. It will be worse than the war. The last battle of the Xiwu Empire must be ended by Mingwu, even if the entire Yin family is destroyed. The only thing I can’t let go of is my wife and children. They all say that the royal family is ruthless, but it’s not true. People are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? Once Mingwu dies in battle, the queen will bring a group of concubines to die. As for those children , It can only be said that they were not born at the right time, some people died, and the rest can live, this is the law that no one can escape." The Emperor Mingwu said in a low voice, looking at the children playing in the distance, his eyes widened. There was a flash of warmth in it.
There was a sense of loneliness and desolation on Emperor Mingwu's body, but even after making such a decision, he was still very decisive without any hesitation.
"Father, my child is willing to fight to the death with you." Yin Xiang cried, tears streaming down his face.
"Hehe." Emperor Mingwu smiled lovingly and patted Yin Xiang's head, "Death is easy, but if you want to live, the Yin family must retain a trace of blood."
Although there are many criticisms about Emperor Mingwu, and Ye Chen does not agree with some of Emperor Mingwu's actions, but what Emperor Mingwu said still touched Ye Chen's heart. No matter what Emperor Mingwu did, he could He can be regarded as a man who goes to the dead generously. Ye Chen also made some decisions in his heart. After all, the survival of the Xiwu Empire is also related to the safety of the Ye family. Although the Ye family can hide in the valley, can they hide in that valley for a lifetime?
"Forgive me for not being able to agree." Ye Chen looked at Emperor Mingwu and said.
Emperor Mingwu paused for a while, then smiled sadly, and sighed: "Forget it, in fact, I also have some selfish intentions. The reason why I want to entrust Xiang'er to you is because I think Xiang'er may create something new with you." Achievement, so that my line of the Yin royal family will not be too downcast. In this case, I can only entrust Xiang'er to Xuanyi Yaozun, and send him to the Central Empire to entrust an ordinary family. As for life or death, it depends on His own good fortune." After speaking, Emperor Ming Wu was a little silent, and picked up a cup of tea on the table.
"I can't help take care of Yin Xiang, but if His Majesty needs, I can go to the forbidden area with Your Majesty!" Ye Chen said, this is his decision, with his own strength, plus Emperor Mingwu, as long as The barbarian country is not the head of the barbarian country, so they should still be able to walk out of the forbidden area alive!
