Chapter 228 The Head of the Yin Family
Although the Yin family was a famous aristocratic family in the previous dynasty, it had been depressed for a long time after experiencing changes and gradually faded out of people's sight. Unexpectedly, after reappearing, it actually controlled the imperial power of the Northern Li Kingdom in one fell swoop, which is really scary.
Now that the head of the Yin family is wearing a mask, it is difficult to see his true face, which adds to the mystery.
But he quickly entered the palace, leaving only the onlookers with endless speculation.
"Is it possible that the head of the Yin family is extremely ugly, so he doesn't dare to show his true face?"
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, you can't."
"I see that he has a tall, slender figure and an amazing momentum. It would be a pity if he was ugly."
...
At this moment, in the palace, the emperor received him solemnly. Si Moli stood on one side, and on the other side stood the sixth prince, the seventh prince and several close ministers.
After the two parties greeted each other, due to the current tense situation, neither party exchanged pleasantries and went straight to the point.
People from the Northern Li Kingdom introduced: "This is our newly promoted Great Situ of the Northern Li Kingdom and the head of the Yin family, Yin Tingyue. Coming here in person this time represents the sincerity of our Northern Li Kingdom."
In the Northern Li Kingdom, the position of Da Situ is equivalent to that of the Prime Minister, but in terms of actual power, Yin Tingyue is already the most powerful person in the Northern Li Kingdom.
The emperor was also a little surprised that he came in person and couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
At this moment, the emperor was sitting on the throne, staring at the mysterious head of the Yin family. The sixth prince took the initiative to ask: "Then what are the plans of the Yin family?"
"Da Yue Kingdom is watching with eager eyes. It has sent many people to lobby the two or three surrounding countries. According to reliable information, the next step will be to send the princess to get married in an attempt to increase its power." Yin Tingyue's voice was sharp, and his eyes were filled with laughter.
There was a cold light: "The Northern Li Kingdom naturally hopes to have good relations with the Upper Kingdom, seek protection, and jointly defend against enemies."
I thought that this Yin Lord must be a treacherous person with iron-blooded skills, and he might not be easy to talk to. However, I didn't expect that his attitude was very humble. The surrender shown in his words made the emperor feel very good. He smiled and said: "Yin Lord
The idea coincides with mine."
The sixth prince and ministers on the side also echoed, and the scene became lively for a while.
The eyes of Si Moli and Yin Tingyue met briefly in the air, and neither of them showed any special expressions.
Immediately afterwards, a group of people discussed the details. The two parties talked for a whole afternoon and came up with a rough charter. The specific details still need to be further negotiated.
Because it was already getting late, the emperor stayed with the Northern Li people to have a meal, and then they returned to the inn.
"Master Yin, I have discovered that many people are secretly watching around the inn." A man stepped forward to report.
"I understand, please step back."
The room became silent. Yin Tingyue walked to the window, as if he had not noticed anything, and looked quietly at the night sky outside the window. He just stared in this direction, and did not return to his senses for a long time. The half mask was illuminated by the candlelight at night.
A cold light came through.
People in the dark began to speculate about what the mysterious Lord Yin was looking at and thinking, but they couldn't figure it out.
After a long time, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Yin Tingyue ordered calmly without turning around.
The visitor walked into the room and saw that his face was exactly that of Han Feng. He kept looking in one direction and sighed slightly in his heart.
If I remember correctly, this is the direction of Duke Shen's mansion.
The master is thinking about the eldest lady.
Hanfeng did not speak, but stood behind him and waited quietly. After a while, Yin Tingyue put away the thoughts in his eyes, turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Master, His Highness Prince Li wants to see you." Hanfeng replied respectfully.
Yin Tingyue nodded: "When?"
"Tomorrow night, he said the location can be decided by you."
"Ha..." Yin Tingyue chuckled lightly: "In that case, let's go to Tingfeng Pavilion. If you have nothing else to do, you should leave first."
Han Feng said no more and left obediently.
Early on the next morning, a group of people from the Northern Li Kingdom entered the palace again. They wanted to discuss the matter of negotiation and alliance as soon as possible in order to respond to possible attacks from the Dayue Kingdom at any time.
This matter was also a major concern for the emperor, so the whole process went very smoothly.
Wusuang and Wusunya had been struggling for a long time, but in the end it was fruitless. Now, in just two days, the contract between the two countries has been initially drawn up. The emperor was very happy and brought up the matter of marriage: "Master Yin is like this You can achieve a lot at a young age, but you don’t know if you are going to get married?"
The envoys from the Northern Li Kingdom were not surprised. The marriage would make the relationship between the two countries more stable. They had already made preparations for this before coming here.
Therefore, Yin Tingyue just smiled faintly: "Have you ever thought that the emperor has a good candidate?"
The emperor also smiled: "Master Yin is such a talented person, and ordinary women are naturally not worthy of you, but there are still a few talented and beautiful women in the capital for Master Yin to choose from."
As he said this, the eunuch father-in-law walked in holding a stack of portraits.
For a moment, everyone's thoughts and eyes gathered around him. Yin Tingyue picked up the portrait and flipped through it slowly. At the top were several princesses, and below were some selected ministers' daughters, all of whom looked charming and charming. Has characteristics.
But after looking through all the portraits, there was no fluctuation in Yin Tingyue's eyes.
The emperor frowned slightly and snorted in his heart. He found that Shen Qingyun's portrait was not inside. Someone obviously knew about this and picked out Shen Qingyun's portrait alone.
No wonder he looked so calm when he just sent Si Moli away. It turned out that he had been prepared for it.
"Look at Master Yin's expression, there is no woman you like in there?" The sixth prince noticed Yin Tingyue's low interest from the side, so he took the initiative to ask.
At the same time, he also discovered that there was no portrait of Shen Qingyun in it, and he was secretly angry in his heart. Even though his mother and concubine said there was, it seemed that Si Moli had done something in advance.
Yin Tingyue's eyes showed a look of embarrassment: "The women in these portraits are all different, and it is difficult for me to choose one of them."
The sixth prince also picked up the portrait and looked at it. After thinking for a moment, he seemed to suddenly think of someone: "If there is no woman in this picture that Lord Yin fell in love with at first sight, my highness would like to think of someone with a good family background, stunning appearance, and equally impressive talent." I'm amazed, I wonder if Master Yin would be interested?"
Yin Tingyue raised his eyebrows: "Oh, who is this person?"
The Sixth Prince smiled with satisfaction: "She is Shen Qingyun, the legitimate daughter of Duke Shen's Mansion."
Huh, he has found out that King Li has a close personal relationship with Shen Qingyun. He has done something bad to him before, and he wants to take revenge in the same way!
