Chapter 518 Linglong Proposal
At this time, Prince Wencheng's face turned blue and white. His thoughts were confused, his mind was blank, and he fell into great hesitation.
It is absolutely impossible for him to obey Li Tianhan's words and cede one-third of the territory out of thin air.
Even if Prince Wencheng is extremely brave, he would not dare to do such a thing!
Without any warning, he ceded so much territory. Even if Prince Wencheng ascended the throne in the future, he would probably be kicked down in the blink of an eye.
Because such behavior is comparable to betraying the country!
No one would accept a traitorous emperor. At least, Prince Wencheng did not have the confidence and means to convince others.
But if he were not threatened by Li Tianhan, then Li Tianhan would tell the story about the poisoning, and even threatened to save the old emperor...
Prince Wencheng shivered with fear when he thought of his father's strength and methods.
Things have reached such a stage that the old emperor must not be allowed to come back to life. Once he comes back to life, disaster awaits him.
Life is worse than death!
Seeing that Prince Wencheng was in great entanglement, Li Tianhan was not in a hurry. He chuckled and said, "I have another mission when I come here this time."
"What mission?" Prince Wen Cheng's eyes were angry, "You're not going to ask me to cede something again, are you?!"
"That's not true," Li Tianhan said with a smile, "Speaking of it, this is still a happy event."
"On behalf of the Fengling Empire, I intend to propose to you, Princess Linglong of the Ziyue Empire. Once the proposal is successful, then our two families will have the same surname."
"Linglong proposes?"
Hearing this, Prince Wencheng was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed!
He was unhappy with Linglong!
Although Princess Linglong is a female prostitute, her skills are extremely high, and she also has many forces in the court. Even Prince Wencheng, who is the crown prince, is afraid of her.
In terms of power, tactics, governance, and even martial arts, his Wencheng can't compare to Linglong!
If Linglong hadn't been born as a woman, Wen Cheng would never have been able to take the position of Crown Prince.
In fact, in recent years, there have been rumors in the court that the position of emperor does not have to be held by a man. If a woman is wise, powerful and talented, she can still lead the empire to a more prosperous road.
This, overt and obvious, put great pressure on Prince Wencheng!
And now, the solution to Linglong is right in front of us!
Once Princess Linglong marries away to the Fengling Empire, she will no longer be able to influence the Ziyue Empire even if she has great skills.
A woman who marries away is like water being thrown away, and her identity has also changed greatly. It is impossible to point fingers at her mother country!
Thinking of this, Prince Wencheng suddenly became excited, and his expression became much calmer than before.
"I thought it was something, but it turned out to be a proposal for Linglong!" Prince Wen Cheng said with a smile, "I represent my father and the Ziyue Empire, so I can agree to this marriage now!"
"If you marry Linglong, then our two families will become in-laws."
"Am I marrying Linglong?" Hearing this, Li Tianhan's expression turned strange. Then he shook his head and said, "I am not the one marrying Linglong."
"But my father."
Um? ! !
Hearing this, Prince Wencheng was surprised!
The person who proposed to Linglong was not Li Tianhan?
But Li Tianhan's father?
This news greatly shocked Prince Wencheng. He also did not expect that the old emperor of the Fengling Empire would behave like an old cow eating young grass.
But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't matter.
As long as you can send Linglong away, it doesn't matter who you marry, even if you marry a beggar!
"What? Your Highness Wen Cheng is surprised? Could it be that this marriage can't happen?" Li Tianhan asked sideways.
"No, no, no, there will be no accidents in this matter. I still agree to this marriage," Prince Wen Cheng grinned and said, "I just didn't expect that Linglong would become your baby mother."
As soon as the word "little mom" came out, even Li Tianhan fell silent, not knowing what to say.
In fact, he had already been coveting Linglong and wanted to hold her in his arms, knead and love her, but there was no way, his father had fallen in love with Linglong, and Li Tianhan was helpless.
"The marriage proposal to Linglong has been finalized. Now let's talk about the cession of the northern border." Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit strange, Dan Chengzi from the Danding Sect broke the silence and said as a reminder,
"Your Highness Wencheng, how are you thinking about it now?"
Prince Wencheng remained silent. After a moment, he slowly said, "The cession of border territories is ultimately a matter between our two empires. What does it have to do with your Danding Sect?"
"That's a good question!" Hearing this, Dan Chengzi was startled for a moment, then laughed loudly and said, "The reason why I am so active is because Prince Li Tianhan promised us to give us a large piece of land!"
"What's my answer?"
As the voice fell, Prince Wencheng's expression couldn't help but change.
No wonder the Danding Sect was so actively involved. It turned out that they were also interested in the territory on the northern border!
The power of the Alchemy Sect is not small, and even vaguely surpasses the Ziyue Empire. Now that the Alchemy Sect and the Fengling Empire have joined forces, there is really nothing he can do about it.
Even if it doesn't reach the level of being exploited, the situation is not much better!
Seeing that Wencheng was still silent, Dan Chengzi rolled his eyes and said seductively, "If Prince Wencheng agrees to our conditions, we, the Danding Sect and the Fengling Empire, promise to fully support you in ascending to the throne."
"We can guarantee this!"
"If anyone in the Ziyue Empire dares to oppose you, our two major forces will directly send troops to help you stabilize the situation!"
"What Senior Dan Chengzi said is absolutely true," Li Tianhan on the side also fanned the flames and said, "His Royal Highness Wencheng, think about it carefully. On the one hand, your father will be saved, but you will be worse off than dead."
"On the other hand, you made friends with our two major forces at the cost of ceding land, so that you can secure the throne and ascend to the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan."
"Of the two endings, one is as dark as an abyss, and the other is as bright and brilliant. I think you should know very well which one to choose!"
After finishing speaking, Li Tianhan and Dan Chengzi stared at Prince Wencheng.
The silence at the scene was audible.
After a full quarter of an hour, Prince Wen Cheng seemed to have made some kind of decision, and said with a sinister expression, "I can cooperate with you!"
"However, we can only cede the territory of the ten northern states!"
"When the time comes, if you directly send people to attack, I will directly abandon the tens of thousands of soldiers and people in the ten northern states. In this way, I will only lose the battle, not directly surrender and cede the territory."
"This is the biggest concession I can make! If you still don't agree, then it will be a dead end and no one will be able to please you!"
After saying that, Prince Wencheng glared at Li Tianhan and Dan Chengzi fiercely, as if he would fall out if they disagreed.
"Only cede the territory of the ten northern states? This is a bit difficult for me."
Li Tianhan winked at Dan Chengzi, and then the two of them said in unison, "We have to discuss this important matter carefully, and we will give you an answer after a few days."
"Your Highness Wencheng, let's take our leave now!"
After that, Li Tianhan and Dan Chengzi left side by side, leaving only Prince Wencheng in Nuo Da's living room.
Wen Cheng sat slumped on the chair. His face was gloomy, his eyes were violent, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Not long after.
A servant hurriedly came to report, "Your Highness, Princess Linglong has returned to the palace!"
"What?!" Wen Cheng jumped in surprise and almost fell off his chair.
"What is Linglong doing back at this time! Hurry up and send people to block the palace and strictly prohibit Linglong from entering the palace! If Linglong is even allowed to step into the palace, all of you will die! All of you will die!"
Prince Wencheng's roar came angrily from the living room.
