Scheming Prince’s Rampant Again - Chapter 209
Xiping’s early court had stopped for a long time. The night before the great court, all the officials were suddenly informed that the early court would resume tomorrow. People were immediately in a panic, and there were various speculations.
The ceremony of the crown prince Lu jingnian’s succession to the throne has not yet been held, so he should not be regarded as the emperor. However, the imperial edicts issued in the name of the new emperor are constantly spreading, and it seems that his identity as the new emperor has been established. During this period, naturally, some people also asked about Lu Zhaohui, the “former Emperor”. Pei Zan, who had just been granted the status of Dazhu state, responded with the saying that he was seriously ill and could not speak or act. As for those courtiers who were stiff and determined to break into the palace to see Lu Zhaohui, they died of various accidents, which made no one in the court dare to act against the holy will.
The whole Xiping Dynasty was shrouded in unspeakable lethargy. Under such circumstances, it was obvious that there was a special reason for the sudden restoration of the early Dynasty. According to the private conjecture of the courtiers, it was 90% likely that it was related to the invasion of the soldiers of the hordu empire.
Sure enough, Lu jingnian calmly sat on the Dragon chair, and his first sentence was to ask the courtiers about the invasion of hordu empire.
“At present, hordu has no intention to invade our country, and has specially sent envoys to show friendship. If we can take this opportunity to form an alliance with it, we can strengthen the strength of Xiping, and the position of Zhongzhou as the largest country is just around the corner, isn’t it beautiful?”
“Before sending messengers to show their good wishes, the hordu Empire sent a team of Chihou to my border to test. Is that friendly? If it is not for our soldiers who will defend the border to the death, I am afraid hall will fight to the capital now. What alliance can we talk about for this ambitious and malicious country? What a joke
“No matter whether the hordu empire is a friend or an enemy, it should be well received by the envoys sent here. We are worthy of the reputation of Xiping as a land of rites.”
As for how to treat the hordu Empire, the Manchu Dynasty had different opinions on culture and military, and there was a lot of controversy. Lu jingnian was upset and couldn’t help cursing. His voice was not big enough to teach the courtiers in the hall to hear it clearly.
In an instant, the noisy court hall was silent, and all eyes gathered to Lu jingnian.
Lu jingnian, sitting in the Dragon chair like mud, raised his hand powerlessly: “what do you think of Dazhu state? Hordu’s emissary is still in the palace. Should I treat him well and make an alliance with him, or just kill him to show the power of Xiping? ”
As soon as Lu jingnian’s words fell to the ground, there was a sound of “messengers can’t be killed” in the court. Lu jingnian frowned and became angry.
“What can’t be killed? Am I not qualified? Or Xiping doesn’t have the confidence? One by one, I’m afraid of what I’m afraid of, but I’m afraid of what I’m afraid of
Lu jingnian slapped the Dragon chair heavily, but suddenly a crisp sound came, and the tap on the armrest fell to the ground. The rough fracture also tore a long hole in Lu jingnian’s sleeve.
The dragon’s head fell to the ground because it was very fierce. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty changed color, and several superstitious courtiers trembled, as if they had seen a natural disaster. Lu jingnian didn’t like it. With a sneer, he kicked the dragon’s head far away. His tone was full of irony.
“The old guys who stay are just useless. They should be exchanged!”
This remark clearly refers to the Dragon chair left by Lu Zhaohui, but in fact, it implies the old ministers who have followed Lu Zhaohui for many years. Such a simple hint was naturally heard by the courtiers who had been in office for many years. In a moment, their expressions were different and they were vivid.
Pei Zan saw that Lu jingnian said something he shouldn’t have said and didn’t stop him. He just bowed perfunctorily and said slowly: “the two countries are at war. If you don’t kill the envoys, you can’t kill the envoys of hordu. As for whether or not to make an alliance with hordu, the emperor has to make a decision on this matter with both advantages and disadvantages. After listening to the suggestions of the courtiers, the emperor has already made plans in his mind. ”
“As expected, it must be Dazhu who can see clearly.” Lu jingnian snorted coldly, and his expression was rather discontented. “You talk a lot of nonsense, but you can’t even say half a useful sentence. What’s the use of you? Those who come to the imperial court today will each deduct their salaries for half a year, and they will give you more memory! ”
Pei Zan’s words are not as useful as the opinions of a group of courtiers. How can these people end up with salary deduction? Wen and Wu of the Manchu Dynasty knew that Lu jingnian was an unreliable prince. They didn’t expect that his stupidity became worse after becoming the emperor. However, they just dared to be angry and speechless. They were full of complaints and had to hide in their belly. On the surface, they had to be respectful and willing to be punished, so as not to cause unnecessary disasters.
“Since you don’t have any opinions, I’ll make up my mind.” Lu Jing coughed and sat upright symbolically. His eyes narrowed slightly. “I’ve been working for hundreds of years. How many small neighboring countries bow down to us. Under heaven’s power, why should we form an alliance with other countries? What’s more, those exotic monkeys crossing the sea! It’s bullshit not to kill envoys when two countries fight. Today I have to kill the envoys of holdo. What can they do? I want to let the whole world know that Xiping can’t be provoked. I’ll fight whoever I want! I am the head of Zhongzhou! ”
Such arrogant remarks made the courtiers sweat and feel cold on their backs. They bowed their heads and did not dare to face Lu jingnian’s sight. On Lu jingnian’s side, Pei Zan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and his satisfaction was hidden.
Lu jingnian is very easy to be controlled. He has already found out Lu jingnian’s character. He knows that the new emperor, who holds the upper position in his hand, is arrogant and somewhat self defeating. The more people refuse him to do something, the more he wants to do it. Just now, when he falsely advised Lu jingnian not to kill the envoys sent by hordu, he had already expected such a result.Killing the emissary of kholdu is bound to start a war between the two countries. At that time, the world will be in chaos and the people will not be able to make a living, but What does that have to do with him? He hoped that Xiping would be more chaotic under the leadership of Lu jingnian, so that he would have an excuse to overthrow the emperor as regent.
By then, it will not be far from being in control of the supreme power.
But now there is another thing that he cares about so much that he can’t rest at ease. He originally wanted to get rid of Bu Qingyi and others with the help of Lu jingnian, but he didn’t expect that because someone in Nanming helped them escape, and their whereabouts are still unknown, which made Pei Zan worry about whether Bu Qingyi would suddenly appear or not A dagger came out and cut his throat.
After learning about the changes in Xiping, bu Qingyi really has such an idea. However, at this moment, the matter of killing Pei Zan is not in her consideration at all. She is eager to find clues and follow the vine to determine where Mo GUI is.
The spy plan failed. The night that Mogui failed to return, the hordu army, which had been stationed safely, suddenly pulled out of camp and marched in three different directions. In the days after that, the three groups of soldiers split up again, and divided into seven groups to complete different tasks. It was not known which group of people Mo GUI was, or even where yuan Guoshi and marshal Peiduo were.
Shen Junhong thinks that his plan has implicated Bu Qingyi and Mo GUI. He tries his best to support and send all the people to track the hordu troops for clues. He even “lends” Bu Qingyi when he is the most important, to track the team that goes straight to the capital of Nanming, most likely to be Yuan Guoshi and others.
Bu Qingyi thought that the army was moving slowly. Even if she rested for a few days due to physical reasons, it should not be a problem for her to catch up quickly. But she never thought that the army of hordu was moving not by foot strength, but by a very large but clever multi wheeled wooden cart, which was not much slower than the horses at full speed, so it was not until ten Many days later, bu Qingyi and other talents barely caught up with the tail of the army.
All the actions were expected by the yuan Guoshi. This time, bu Qingyi and others didn’t sneak in rashly. Instead, they followed behind at a distance that would not be found. Sooner or later, they kept observing the movements of the army.
For four days, the army never saw the figure of Yuan Guoshi and Peiduo. When they were not easy to doubt whether they were in other teams, a carrier pigeon came in the evening and brought a piece of bad news.
The whereabouts of Yuan Guoshi and Peiduo have been found, but they are in the farthest team from here – they did not go with the army attacking Nanming capital, but joined the team going to Yan.
At the same time, Yuan Guoshi and Peiduo had just arrived in the territory of the state of Yan and lived in the palace temporarily with the permission of the emperor of Yan. What puzzled the maids and eunuchs of the state of Yan was that Yuan Guoshi and Peiduo didn’t bring any guards, but they had a huge cage that was two people high to their residence. The cage was covered with thick black cloth, so they couldn’t see what was inside.
However, according to the soldier, during the process of moving the cage, he heard the sound of someone sneezing inside the cage.
This sneeze is from the sleepy Mo GUI.
The natural environment of Yan state is far inferior to that of Nanming and Xiping. Even half of the capital city is desert. The dust and sand flying in the air keep drilling into the nose. People who are not used to this climate almost sneeze constantly.
Mo GUI has never been out of the cage since he was coerced into the cage. Fortunately, the cage has all kinds of daily things, and there is no delay in eating and drinking. However, he did not understand the purpose of his imprisonment until he was moved to the palace of the state of Yan.
“I’ve wronged Mr. Mo for a while, but I believe Mr. Mo will be able to leave soon.” Yuan Guoshi avoided answering Mo GUI’s questions, and his attitude was still very kind.
Mo GUI said, “I want to know the reason, not the result. What’s the secret of Cheng Yuan
“There are secrets naturally, and it’s not shameful to have secrets. After all, for the sake of their own interests, everyone will have things that can’t be mentioned to others.” Yuan Guoshi didn’t like it. Standing three steps away from the cage, he began to smile at Mo GUI. “There’s only one thing I can tell Mr. mo. I didn’t bring Mr. Mo here to have any grudge with you, but to bring out a person, this person Let’s put it this way. I’ve been asked to teach her some lessons. If Mr. Mo likes it, it can be simply understood as Revenge. “
