Reborn, meet you again!

Chapter 235 Confidence

Song Yi's words obviously did not give face to the people of Mobei. Helian Qi also set his eyes on Song Yi at this time.

This Prime Minister of Tianqi...

He was quite different from when I met him three years ago.

At that time, although Prime Minister Song was a favorite of the late emperor, he had a bad reputation. He thought that such a profit-seeking villain might be able to reach into the Tianqi court through him.

But after some contact, he found that this rumored treacherous prime minister was a little different from what he had heard.

Although he had always treated him with courtesy, he had calmly rebuffed his probing words, but at that time he still thought he was waiting for a price.

Today, although he looked thinner and haggard, there was a sharpness in his eyes that was not there three years ago... making him even more unpredictable.

Or, is this his true appearance?

No wonder King Huai was willing to pay such a high price to save his life...

Before Helian Qi could continue to think deeply, Song Yi's voice rang out again.

He sat up straighter, and his voice was a little louder than before, as if he had forgotten the pain in his body. He continued to speak loudly, word by word.

"And the most important point!"

"The Crown Prince keeps saying that he wants to marry my noble daughter of Tianqi to establish an alliance between our two countries, yet he allows the Imperial Master to talk about using a ladder as a betrothal gift. Is this a proposal of marriage or a declaration of war?"

"The letter written by your Mobei Khan himself stated that you would not invade Tianqi for three years. Now, only half a year later, the Imperial Master has already made such outrageous remarks. Are you trying to trample on the reputation of your Mobei royal court?"

Song Yi paused as he spoke, fixed his gaze on the Mobei State Master, and looked directly into his eyes.

"What's more...how dare a defeated general talk about bravery!"

"The 100,000 cavalry that the Imperial Master mentioned were already slain by our Tianqi soldiers at the Tianqian Pass!"

"Whether it's your Mobei ladder or your betrothal gifts, if you want to enter Tianqi territory, you must first ask the officers and soldiers of Tianqi and the Mobei Army for their consent!"

In the final battle between Tianqi and Mobei, it was Tianqi who won the great victory!

Mobei was forced to flee after being beaten by the Mobei Army and had to return the four border cities. Now, only half a year has passed. Could it be that the people of Mobei have forgotten about this matter?

Tianqi was indeed seriously injured in that battle, and the national treasury could not afford another war.

But how good can Mobei be?

If a fight really breaks out, it is still unknown who will win.

The so-called negotiations between two countries have always relied on the strength in their hands.

The reason why Song Yi dared to act like this today was not because of his mouth, but because of the confidence earned for their civil officials by countless Tianqi soldiers with their blood and sacrifice. How could he show his cowardice?

After hearing Song Yi's powerful words, the civil officials who had just advised the Queen Mother to accept the marriage couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

They also grew up reading books of sages, so naturally they understood the principles that Song Yi said.

But gradually, these things were buried in this court full of intrigue and deception...

But, that’s all.

After a brief moment of excitement, their expressions returned to indifference. Only the one kneeling at the front quietly clenched his fists...

At this time, Helian Qi was obviously angry because of Song Yi's words.

Being defeated by Jun Jiuchen and returning the city that his father Khan had conquered intact to Zhao was the greatest shame of his life! He looked at Song Yi, a sinister glint in his eyes, his eyes surging for a moment, but eventually returning to calm.

Now that Jun Jiuchen has suddenly returned to the capital, his plans have been disrupted, and he can no longer continue to confront him head-on as before.

Isn’t there a saying in Tianqi that goes “be able to bend and stretch”?

Now that he is in the land of Tianqi, he will "adapt to local customs".

Thinking in this way, Helian Qi reluctantly comforted himself, calmed the anger and humiliation in his heart, restrained the unkindness in his eyes when he looked at Song Yi, gestured to the teacher to calm down, and put on a sincere look.

"Prime Minister Song's words are truly enlightening, and make me feel quite ashamed."

"It was my inability to manage my subordinates that caused the Imperial Master to be disrespectful. Teacher, why don't you apologize to His Majesty Tianqi and the Queen Mother?"

The blue-robed imperial teacher listened to Helian Qi's words very much. Although he still looked a little indignant, he still obeyed Helian Qi's words, restrained his sharpness, and apologized to the little emperor and the empress dowager.

Su Jinyue was overjoyed to see that the situation had immediately turned around.

She suppressed the joy in her heart and said in a deep voice.

"It's good that the Imperial Master has realized his mistake. Get up."

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" After expressing his gratitude, the Mobei State Master returned to his seat politely, lowering his eyes and remaining silent.

Helian Qi did not retreat with him, but after his eyes passed across the face of the woman behind Song Yi, he suddenly continued to speak.

"Empress Dowager, although we did not mean to offend you just now, my desire to marry Miss Su Er is absolutely true."

"Now that the Prince Regent has returned, I wonder what the Queen Mother said about his marriage to Miss Su Er..."

Helian Qi was just about to ask whether the marriage between Su Ling'er and Jun Jiuchen was true.

After all, he paid special attention to Jun Jiuchen's every move after he returned to Beijing.

In addition to what King Huai said yesterday, Jun Jiuchen had nothing to do with the Second Miss Su. He felt that Su Jinyue must have resorted to this desperate measure because she had no other choice. And based on his understanding of Jun Jiuchen, he was not the kind of person who was easy to get along with and could not tolerate others making decisions on their own.

If that's the case.

He might still have a chance.

After all, judging from Su Jinyue's attitude today, the importance of the second lady of the Su family in her mind exceeded his imagination.

Holding such a card in hand is indeed a great thing for Mobei.

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jun Jiuchen, who had remained silent since entering the hall.

"Although Mobei was defeated this time, since the two countries have already reached peace, and the Crown Prince is so eager to seek marriage, I, Tianqi, cannot be too unkind."

As soon as these words were spoken, Su Ling'er, who was sitting down and looking at Jun Jiuchen with a bit of obsession, was shocked.

What does the Regent mean by this?

Could it be that he is going to agree to the marriage?

But he just came in with Prime Minister Song. Shouldn’t Prime Minister Song’s meaning be his?

how come……

Fortunately, just when she was feeling uneasy, Jun Jiuchen's voice rang out again.

"But for this marriage candidate, I have a better choice."

"This person will definitely satisfy Prince Helian and will definitely be more suitable than Miss Su Er."

"Why don't you listen to it, Prince?"
