What iron essence!
She flung her sleeves and returned to her seat, it was just low-quality steel, the carbon content was very low, but the hardness was indeed higher than iron.
She sighed helplessly, in this kind of era, having a weapon that was harder than iron was indeed the key to victory on the battlefield.
At this time, Li Kun took two things from his attendant, one of them was a letter, the other was a scroll painting.
"Your Majesty, this is a letter personally written by my Father Emperor." Saying this, he handed the letter to the eunuch who walked over, holding the scroll painting in his hand, he continued: "This thing in my hands is a portrait of my Zong Sui's Sixth Princess. Not to hide it from Your Majesty, this Sixth Princess is actually my younger sister, 15 years old and in the prime of her youth. Father Emperor is grateful to Dashun for protecting the heavens and is willing to use marriage to deepen the relationship between the two countries, I hope that Your Majesty will agree. "
Tianwu looked at the letter from the Emperor of Zong Sui, it was hard to tell if he was happy or unhappy, hearing Li Kun personally speak about the marriage, he nodded his head: "En."
Li Kun smiled: "This Prince's younger sister has been doted on by Father Emperor since young, she is the most beautiful princess in my Zong Sui. Maybe Father Emperor has spoiled her too much, for this marriage, she actually chose Dashun's Seventh Prince, His Highness Prince Chun. "Saying this, he even looked towards Xuan Tianhua. Not to mention the Princess of Zong Sui, even this prince could not help but be impressed when he saw Xuan Tianhua. It was said that Dashun had a Seventh Prince who was like a deity, seeing it today, it was indeed so.
"Tsk!" Everyone snorted. Wanting the Seventh Prince to marry Xuan Tianhua for peace? Could Zong Sui stop messing around? No matter how one looked at it, the Seventh Prince did not look like someone who would marry, let alone a marriage for peace. That person was suitable to stand there like a deity and be worshipped by tens of thousands, letting him marry for peace, that was the same as pulling down a true deity from the altar, it was truly a sinful thing.
At this time, Tianwu finally raised his head from the book, but he looked at Li Kun and said: "The marriage alliance is naturally a good thing, but which prince will it be, I'm afraid it is not up to your Zong Sui to decide!"
Feng Yu Heng laughed in her heart. Thinking about it, Emperor Tianwu wanted to discuss business with this Zong Sui prince.
As expected, they heard Li Kun say: "This is natural, this humble prince also understands, but Father Emperor really dotes on this humble prince's younger sister too much, so before this humble prince left for Dashun, as long as Your Highness Prince Chun is willing to agree to this marriage, my Zong Sui is willing to present the method of refining this iron essence, and the Sixth Princess who married from afar will personally teach it!"
Everyone was shocked!
Gasps could be heard in the hall once again.
No wonder this Zong Sui prince was so daring, so their old Emperor actually had this kind of idea. Using a marriage alliance in exchange for the refining method of Iron Essence, and the Sixth Princess to marry into the family, this was a good deal no matter how he looked at it! It was just that the person chosen for this marriage alliance was too tricky, it was not known if the Emperor and His Highness the Seventh Prince would agree.
For a moment, the entire hall was silent, everyone was guessing the results of this marriage alliance in their hearts. Even though the men felt pity for His Highness the Seventh Prince, they still hoped that this matter would succeed. The women were all indignant, hating that they could not rush up and beat that Li Kun up to punish him for blaspheming His Highness Prince Chun.
That Li Kun was patient, Emperor Tianwu did not speak and he did not rush him, just standing below and waiting. But looking at his appearance, he was confident and did not think that Emperor Tianwu would shake his head and say no.
Suddenly, a cold snort could be heard from the prince's seat, followed by a sentence that carried a sinister wind — — "Weapons are important, but if everyone is like your Zong Sui, not knowing how to arrange troops and formations, blindly rushing up and slashing randomly, who knows how much blood and flesh is used to fill that victory."
Feng Yu Heng did not need to look to know that the person speaking was Xuan Tianming. Only two generals who used real swords and spears to lead troops into battle came today, one was Xuan Tianming, the other was General Ping Nan.
Hearing Xuan Tianming say this, that General Ping Nan also nodded: "That's right, when going into battle to kill the enemy, other than weapons, intelligence is also needed."
The two of them speaking like this, it was clear that they were protecting Xuan Tianhua, they did not wish for that prince who was like a deity and was not tainted by the secular world to be involved in this sort of marriage alliance.
But when there were people protecting him, there would be people who would tear him down, and this person who would tear him down was none other than the current Left Prime Minister, Feng Yu Heng's father, Feng Jinyuan. They only heard him say something right after General Ping Nan: "But if my Dashun's soldiers are brave, the Generals are intelligent, and everyone can hold a weapon made from refined iron in their hands, when going into battle to kill the enemy, the number of casualties will definitely be reduced by more than half. For the country and for the people, this is a good thing. "
In fact, at this time, no matter which party they stood on, they all thought this way, and Feng Jinyuan spoke their hearts.
General Ping Nan and Xuan Tianming naturally understood this reasoning, they had both participated in large scale battles, and the large number of casualties on the battlefield had long been imprinted in their hearts. Just as Feng Jinyuan said, with courage, intelligence, and weapons, the number of casualties would definitely be reduced by more than half. This business, was worth it.
That Li Kun had a smile on his face and said: "Moreover, aside from the present, we should also think of the future generations."
Just as these words were spoken, the seventh prince, Xuan Tianhua, who had been sitting in the prince's seat without saying a word, suddenly stood up, walked to the front of the hall, knelt on one knee, and loudly said to Dashun: "Father Emperor, for the sake of the people of Dashun, for the sake of our Dashun's future generations, son … … accepts the marriage alliance."
With the words accepting the marriage alliance, the officials all let out a sigh of relief, but some young misses had already begun to wipe away tears.
For a long time, Xuan Tianhua had been a dream of theirs, they knew that they did not have the fortune to obtain such a good man, but it was fine if Xuan Tianhua did not marry in his lifetime, but if he really married someone, they would definitely view that person as an enemy. Today, Xuan Tianhua was forced to accept the marriage alliance, that Zong Sui princess was their enemy. At this moment, the young misses in this hall had already silently reached a consensus, as long as that Zong Sui princess dared to marry over, they would definitely teach her a lesson!
Xuan Tianhua's acceptance of the marriage alliance allowed Li Kun to let out a sigh of relief, but Emperor Tianwu closed his eyes, taking a few deep breaths. And Xuan Tianming's hands gripped the handles of his wheelchair tightly, his eyes staring at that Li Kun, hating that he could not tear him to pieces.
Xuan Tianhua had not stood up, his head lowered the entire time as he waited for Emperor Tianwu's reply. Feng Yu Heng looked at the figure kneeling on the ground and suddenly remembered that during the Winter disaster, he had held her hand as they walked through the snow back to the capital from the outskirts. The two of them did not speak, just walking like that, their hands icy cold, but they could still feel the warmth from each other's palms.
She had lived two lives, in one life she mingled in military camps, entering the battlefield three times to save the wounded; in the other life she had infiltrated deep residences, but her days were filled with the glint of swords. She had never experienced what was called a calm heart, what was called stability, what was called a peaceful life. But that time when she held Xuan Tianhua's hand and walked back to the capital, it was as if the heavens had suddenly opened a new path for her, as long as she held this person's hand and continued walking, she would be able to walk to the beautiful paradise hidden in the depths of her heart that she was unwilling to admit.
Xuan Tianhua had this kind of ability, calming the heart with a glance, washing away all worldly dust.
But now, this paradise was about to be taken away by someone using this sort of method! Xuan Tianhua was about to be sold by Tianwu!
This was truly intolerable!
Seeing Tianwu open his eyes and slowly nod, as he was about to agree to this marriage, Feng Yu Heng suddenly stood up "Father Emperor, please wait!"
This shout was a little too loud, as it was a little too loud, scaring everyone in the hall.
Feng Jin Yuan was even more scared out of his wits, "Heng Cheng! Sit down! " A warning and reprimand came out. Regardless of what sort of situation this was, he only cared about using his status as a father to suppress his daughter's next actions, "How could a girl like you be allowed to speak on such an important matter! Shut your mouth! "
"It's fine!" From the platform, Tianwu's voice came out. It was still a little low, but no matter how one heard it, there was a little more hope than before, "Today is the new year's banquet. Dear official Feng, there is no need to be too formal. We want to hear, what sort of opinion does county princess Ji An have? "
Since the Emperor had spoken, Feng Jin Yuan could not say anything. He could only stare at Feng Yu Heng, his mind in a mess as he made wild guesses. He truly could not understand this daughter. Normally speaking, at this sort of time, there should be nothing for her to do, right? Why did she suddenly appear?
Everyone looked at Feng Yu Heng. Even Xuan Tianming's gaze was inquisitive.
She stepped forward and hurriedly gave Xuan Tianming a reassuring smile. When she arrived at Xuan Tianhua's side, she personally helped him up and quietly said: "Heng Cheng will not allow Seventh Brother to fall into such a difficult situation. Seventh Brother, do not worry!" She then turned around and saluted to Li Kun: "Prince of Zong Sui, greetings."
Li Kun was also very polite, as he quickly cupped his hands and bowed, saying: "I have long heard county princess Ji An's famous name. This lowly prince greets you."
Feng Yu Heng's lips curled into a smile; however, she did not have the shyness that a young girl should have when speaking with a strange man. She was just so natural and unrestrained, causing people to feel relaxed and happy. But the words that came out of her mouth were extremely shocking, "Zong Sui's iron is truly at the forefront of the modern world. This county princess truly admires it. Just now, your Highness also said that I, Dashun, can test the weapons on the spot. I wonder if these words still count. "
Li Kun nodded, "Naturally, they count. All of the weapons made from refined iron are here. County princess can test any of them."
"Good." Feng Yu Heng smiled then turned around and suddenly kneeled to Emperor Tianwu, "Father Emperor, Heng Cheng has a presumptuous request."
Emperor Tianwu looked at Feng Yu Heng and felt that this girl was most likely going to give him a pleasant surprise, so his mood improved greatly, "Speak!"
Feng Yu Heng said: "When Heng Cheng was in the Northwest, I learned many skills from my Persian master. Before I left, my advisor gave Heng Cheng a knife to use for self-defense. Heng Cheng has always carried that knife with her. Because weapons cannot be brought into the palace, that knife is currently placed in the carriage outside the palace. Can Father Emperor allow Heng Cheng to go and retrieve it? "
"Oh?" Tianwu also became interested, "You want to use your knife to compete with Zong Sui's refined iron weapons?"
Feng Yu Heng replied: "That's right."
"Then what if I lose? What if I win? "
She smiled, "If I lose, then I lose. Either way, Heng Cheng was invited by Zong Sui's prince to test the weapons. At most, everything will remain the same and nothing will change. As for winning … … "
"Does county princess feel that there is a possibility of winning?" These words were spoken by Li Kun, his tone filled with confidence, "In the past hundred years, the refined iron has never lost."
"Is that so." Feng Yu Heng smiled faintly and said: "Then this county princess will make a bet with Your Highness. If the refined iron wins this time, then everything will be done according to Zong Sui's wishes. If the refined iron loses … … "She looked at Xuan Tianhua and said seriously:" Seventh Brother will not marry! "
