"Although the marriage alliance between Daye and Ziyi is intended to turn hostility into friendship, I believe Father Emperor can see that Ziyi did not come with true sincerity. Just like at the birthday banquet that day, they used the opportunity of presenting birthday gifts to hide weapons inside a Buddha statue and bring them into the palace. How could there not be any provocation in that?"

Mentioning this matter, Emperor Pingjia felt a surge of anger, but thinking about how Li Qingchen handled the matter that day, he felt a sense of satisfaction and laughed loudly: "That day, it was all thanks to you that I was able to humiliate that Awuge."

Li Qingchen nodded humbly: "It is a subject's duty to relieve the ruler's worries. That is why I think that this time, a civil official should not be used to escort the bride, but a military general who can deter the Ziyi Kingdom should lead the troops to escort her. Only in this way can we show the dignified and unyielding spirit of our Great Ye."

Emperor Pingjia pondered for a moment, then nodded: "You are right, my minister. We should indeed use military generals. But which general do you think can intimidate the Ziyi Kingdom?"

Li Qingchen pretended to think for a moment, and finally sighed: "The Ziyi Kingdom is martial and has always been strong and well-equipped. I heard that the Ziyi Kingdom killed three generals of my Daye in one fell swoop, which made Father Emperor determined to fight them. However, all the officials were intimidated by their reputation for cruelty and none of them dared to fight."

Recalling that scene from twenty years ago, Emperor Pingjia felt a lump in his throat. "Yes, in the end, it was Pan Wei, this unknown young general, who stepped forward. He was only in his early twenties then..."

As he spoke, Emperor Pingjia seemed to realize something, and suddenly came to his senses, frowning as he asked, "Do you want Pan Wei to personally escort Pan Wenjun to her wedding?"

Although Emperor Pingjia did not say the words "I am not at ease" aloud, his furrowed brows spoke volumes.

Li Qingchen smiled and said, "Of course not." Then he changed the subject and continued, "In fact, over the years, it is not just Pan Wei who can deter the Ziyi Kingdom, but the entire Weirong Army. Therefore, I think it would be better to let Marquis Pingyang go."

"Sun Xingjian?"

"Yes, Father Emperor thinks that Sun Xingjian is not only the deputy general of the Weirong Army, but also has absolute deterrent power in front of the Ziyi Kingdom. Moreover, he has also obtained a noble title. If the princess is sent to marry the Marquis of Pingyang, the Ziyi Kingdom will be like a mute eating bitter melon, unable to express their suffering."
