Chapter 150 Is the first meeting really that good?
Jing Muyang has a headache.
"But I don't want to be your consort, nor do I want to marry you. You are too young and you don't understand the relationship between men and women! If you just need help, I am willing to lend you a hand."
"I'm not young, I understand! After the Chinese New Year I will be fourteen, I can get married in Beisai."
Toya stood up and turned around twice. This girl from Beisai who grew up eating meat seemed to be better developed than those girls from Lingyin Country. At least Toya's figure was not much different from that of Chu Jian when she was 19 years old, and she even had more flesh on her waist.
Jing Muyang turned his eyes away and rubbed his temple helplessly. Why was Toya so stubborn?
"Your Highness, Prince Zhan, I received a letter from the Emperor. The people sent by your father will arrive in Xucheng in five or six days. After that, I will return to the capital with you. My birthday is February 18th. I have checked the dates after that. The nearest auspicious day is February 28th. That day is also the day of the Dragon Wedding. If we get married on that day, we will definitely be blessed by the Dragon God."
Toya said this happily, not caring at all whether Jing Muyang agreed or not.
"This is ridiculous! Toya, I'm telling you one last time, we are not suitable. Even if my father grants me the marriage, I will not marry you!"
Jing Muyang spoke sternly so as not to let her have any misunderstanding.
"Why are we not suitable? You are the prince and I am the princess, we are the most suitable. If you really think I am too young, you can follow your Lingyin rules and we can get married a year later.
If you can't wait, I can also pick two maids for you. If you are anxious to have a child, I can also arrange for a concubine to come to the palace first, and I will allow her to have a child before me."
Toya blushed for a rare moment. Who said she didn't understand love between men and women? She did. Women in Beisai got married early, and they had been taught these things long ago.
Jing Muyang chuckled.
"Tuoya, this is where we are most incompatible. Sincere emotions are selfish and cannot be shared with others. When we first met, you would not allow me to look at other women even once."
Toya was a little anxious after being rejected, "I don't want to either, but...but I'm afraid you can't wait."
"Toya, you are a good girl. Go back to Dadu and ask Suhe to find a good husband for you. I am not suitable for you, and you are not suitable for me." Jing Muyang softened his tone for a rare time and did not even call himself the king.
Jing Muyang's gentle tone was more hurtful than his harsh rejection. Toya couldn't help but look at him in silence with red eyes.
Jing Muyang looked at her directly and turned away.
In her eyes, he seemed to see how cautious and anxious he was before they first met on New Year's Eve.
"You go ahead. I will also leave Linxi and return to Xucheng in a few days."
Toya was in a very low mood. She had chased Jing Muyang from Mulag to Linxi, but still failed to win his favor. She couldn't figure out what was wrong with her that made him look down on her so much.
"Your Highness, the War King, is it really that good to meet for the first time?"
"She is the most beautiful woman in the world. Every advantage and every disadvantage of her is the best in my eyes."
"But she's dead. Qingshan and the others said that they hope you can live a complete and happy life. Don't you plan to marry again?"
"If I can't let her go, I won't marry her."
Jing Muyang felt relieved when he said this. Perhaps this is what he had always thought in his heart.
"Then... I'll wait for you! I'll wait for you to put her down, no matter how long it takes!"
Toya took over the conversation unyieldingly, and ran out before Jing Muyang turned around.
Jing Muyang listened to the sound of someone running away behind him without looking back.
Qingshan and the other three stood in the room silently. They hoped that Toya could shine a ray of light into their prince's life, but at the moment, it seemed that the prince's heart was closed too tightly, and they were afraid that no light could shine in for the time being.
*
Jing Muyang did not sleep all night. Tuoya's actions made him very passive. He still didn't know why the emperor made such a decision. Has he really issued an edict to grant the marriage?
But if he really married Toya, even if he handed over his military power, it would still be a big threat, which would be very unfavorable to the prince and would cause turmoil in the court.
Why didn't the emperor think of this? Or did he think of it but had to do it? Why? Then what should he do?
It was impossible to figure out such a big thing overnight, but Qingshan delivered a shocking news early the next morning.
The letter sent by the prince from Xucheng clearly stated that the emperor had agreed to Tuoya's request, and that the envoy he had sent was halfway there and would arrive in five days, asking him to return to Xucheng within four days.
But the prerequisite was that he had to hand over his military power, and Toya was not allowed to bring cavalry into the country. He and Toya were only allowed to bring a few trusted confidants with them.
Haha, the prince has already made the decision for him.
If he agrees, his life will be in danger.
If he doesn't agree, he can be hunted down on the charge of treason, and Jing Muyang will be trapped in Beisai for the rest of his life.
"Your Highness, we must not hand over the military power. Now Xucheng is full of people newly transferred by the prince. Our people in Jincheng dare not act rashly. If we hand over the more than 30,000 people in our hands, if the prince does something bad to us, we will not be able to protect ourselves at all!"
Gao Le immediately advised him, he knew that King Zhan always listened to the emperor and supported Crown Prince Jing Muchen.
However, the prince did not think that King Zhan was sincere. On the contrary, he was very afraid of him. He had already seen this from the fact that he sent troops to rescue him before. The prince wished that King Zhan would die on the battlefield.
Jing Muyang looked down at the Feixin again. He had to go back even if there was a risk!
After talking with Toya yesterday, he missed his Zhanwang Mansion even more. He wished he could go back immediately, sleep on the same bed he had slept on when he first met her, and cover himself with the same quilt he had covered himself with when he first met her.
"The prince should be afraid of Toya's 100,000 cavalry. It's normal for him to have such concerns. If it were me, I would be afraid too. Qingshan and Qingmu, you two should leave immediately with the army and hand over the military power. I'm going to explain to Toya that I will leave a little later and follow you."
"Your Majesty, no! You must not hand over the military power!"
Gao Le knelt on the ground and firmly objected.
"Your Majesty, when you were waiting for support in Tuoling, we could have arrived there, and the battle situation was not what they told you!
At the beginning, I and the other generals had clearly fought our way out of the breach. We could have pushed Buhe back with a full-scale attack. But the prince suddenly ordered a retreat, and the rear guard failed to catch up. The center was trapped, and the forward was forced to turn back, which led to the final disastrous defeat. "
"What?" Jing Muyang frowned.
He really didn't believe what the prince said about Gao Le leading his troops blindly and acting on his own. He just thought that perhaps Buhe's troops behind him were too strong, so he couldn't resist and was defeated miserably.
"Your Majesty, this matter is just as I just said. You can ask the remaining one hundred of us. If you don't believe it, you can also ask Lieutenant General Wang and Lieutenant General Li after returning to Xu City.
After the disastrous defeat, the Crown Prince shirked responsibility and was unwilling to take the risk of sending troops again. I was worried about the prince, so I had to take the blame for the rash attack and brought 5,000 soldiers to beg the Crown Prince to allow me to make meritorious contributions while serving my sentence.
He couldn't persuade the military officer, and the fifth prince also pleaded for mercy. The crown prince finally allowed us to send troops out. However, we didn't expect that as soon as we approached and wanted to launch a surprise attack on Buhe, we were ambushed instead, and the military officer was killed in the battle.
I have always suspected that our actions were leaked, which is why I have not returned to the team yet."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Gao Le was brought up by Jing Muyang, so he could naturally trust him.
