When the Jinhai clan received the news that Princess Yulan had died in a foreign land, the court of the Jinhai clan changed the relaxed atmosphere of the previous few days. The news of Princess Yulan's death has spread in Ningxing City, Kyoto, in the Jinhai Clan, and some literati wrote poems and lyrics to mourn Princess Yulan, who died in a foreign land, and even more radical people fiercely threatened that as long as the court decided to use troops against the Xia Geng country, they would definitely join the army to conquer the Xia Geng country and avenge Princess Yulan.

Ningxing City, Kyoto, of the Jinhai Clan, has become a storm circle of public opinion for a while, and it is still expanding outward, which also has the reason why the Zhao Xin Clan secretly fueled the troubles. And the talks between the Jinhai clan and the Zhao Xin clan were naturally shelved, and the Jinhai clan, which had planned to bite the Zhao Xin clan with the lion open its mouth, has now also died down.

Although the atmosphere in the court of the Jinhai clan is depressing, the civil ministers and military generals above the court are waiting for the decision of the monarch Jin Chengyong. The officials and gate lords who have benefited from the alliance between the two countries naturally do not want the two countries to continue to fight because of this, and those family gate lords who hope to redistribute interests through a big war naturally want to take this opportunity to have a limited war with the Xia Geng clan to achieve their ulterior purposes.

And Jin Chengyong, the monarch of the Jinhai clan, fainted with grief after receiving the news that Princess Yulan died for no reason on the wedding day. After waking up, he was anxious to send troops to Xia Geng's country, but was dissuaded by Prime Minister Yan Hanpu. In the past few days, Jin Chengyong has been waiting in grief for the latest investigation results of Xia Geng's country, and sent a messenger to pick up Princess Yulan's body and return to China.

Jin Chengyong was half-lying on the bed in his bedroom, and there was only a charming woman waiting beside him, this woman was Princess Yulan's biological mother, Queen Tang, who was looking at Jin Chengyong on the bed with tears in her eyes, and the two were relatively sad.

"Naxin, why did Lan'er leave us like this?"

"I didn't agree with Yulan to marry Xia Geng's country, why do you agree? That Xia Geng's country's domestic forces are mixed, and now the most powerful is the Zang family, and Li Chengji has always been-for-tat with the Zang family, and now Lan'er was assassinated and killed by the Zang family's people! Lan'er has always been raised in the deep palace, and her heart is pure, how can she cope with those dirty power struggles. ”

"Hey! Lan'er fell in love with that Li Chengji at first sight, what can I do. Moreover, this matter is also beneficial to my Jinhai clan and is not harmful, only if our country helps Li Chengji ascend to the throne, Lan'er will be the queen, and there will be no major war between Jin and Xia within a thousand years, and it can also fight against the increasingly powerful Zhao Xin clan. ”

"What a pity for my son! Brother Yong, what about now?"

"I will avenge this blood feud with Jin Chengyong! But now we must endure it! The relationship between the two countries is unbreakable, and the talks with the Zhao Xin clan must also be carried out. The Jinhai clan must have a stable external environment, so I can start to rectify the dynasty and learn the political layout of the Zhao Xin clan. ”

"Then this matter is over?"

"When the Xia Geng clan gives a reasonable way to deal with it, my Jinhai clan can only accept it, and now I have to endure it. ”

"Brother Yong, thank you for your hard work, I hope I can see the fall of the Zang clan in my lifetime. ”

"Yes, I promise you, just as when I was young I promised you that you would be the most noble woman in the kingdom of the Golden Lord. ”

"Brother Yong, why did you send Dong Qing to pick up Lan'er's bones, that child has always had a love for Lan'er, since you want to endure it, aren't you afraid that the child will cause any trouble in Xia Geng's country?"

"Dong Qing is the leader of this generation of young people, and his military talent is also quite outstanding. has asked me for his life, and after receiving Lan'er's bones, he will go to the west, preparing to train a new army, and avenge Lan'er's hatred. ”

Jin Chengyong's eyes were red as he spoke, and he let out a violent coughing sound. Tang hurriedly stepped forward and stroked Jin Chengyong's back, crossed into an aura, and straightened out the aura in his body because of the excitement, after a while, Jin Chengyong closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, opened his eyes to indicate that Tang was fine.

The Tang family looked at Jin Chengyong's complexion, wiped away the tears in his eyes, and instructed Jin Chengyong to recuperate, and then went out of Jin Chengyong's bedroom to personally prepare elixirs and meals for him. The two have been together for many years, although the Tang family is also sad about Yulan's death, but seeing Jin Chengyong like this, he doesn't want to complain about anything anymore, so he can only be alone and gloomy.

Jin Chengyong watched Empress Tang come out of the palace, and after closing her eyes for a moment, she suddenly got up and shouted, "Someone is coming!"

The eunuch who was guarding the door came in response, and Jin Chengyong immediately ordered the eunuch to pass on the prime minister Yan Hanpu to come. A stick of incense left or right, and I saw a voice outside the door reporting: "Your Majesty, Yan Xianggong is here." ”

"Come in!"

"Wechen see the king. ”

Flattened, Hanpu sat down and spoke. ”

After Yan Hanpu bowed and thanked him, he sat down opposite Jin Chengyong's bed. This person's eyes are full of brilliance, his face is square, and the black beard under his chin droops more than two feet. Respectfully asked: "I don't know if the king Xuan Weichen is coming, what do you have to order?"

"Hanpu, what do you think of Magnolia's death?"

"According to the news from the Xia Geng clan, Princess Yulan was poisoned by Zang Shiling, the son of the prime minister of the Xia Geng clan, and Zang Shiling was killed on the spot. As for the reason, Weichen didn't dare to speculate. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Weichen thought that there were no more than two circumstances that caused Princess Yulan's death, one of which was that it was possible that the internal strife of the Xia Geng clan caused Princess Yulan's death in a foreign country. Second: It may be done by the Zhao Xin family, so that the alliance between my country and the Xia Geng family will inevitably give birth to a gap, so the Zhao Xin family will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ”

"Which of the two possibilities do you think is more likely?"

"It depends on the results of Xia Geng's investigation. According to the available evidence, there is a high probability that Princess Magnolia died in the internal struggle of the Xia Geng clan. Some people don't want to watch Li Chengji continue to grow bigger and blame the Zang family, or Zang Shiling personally wants to stand out in the Zang family, wants to share his father's worries, and acts privately. ”

"Look at this. ”

Jin Chengyong took out a piece of letter paper from the desk next to him and handed it to Yan Hanpu, Yan Hanpu quickly got up and took the letter respectfully, only to see that there was a string of secret words on the letter, and then there was something translated.

The letter recorded Zang Shiling's life experience, his frequent frequents, and many secret things, the most important of which were Zang E's affair with Zang Shiling's wife**, as well as some of Zang Shiling's private performances and some resentful words towards Zang's family after being drunk. Among them, it also mentioned the assassination incident that occurred a few months ago in the Zang family, which involved Zang Shengdao's life experience, which was originally the son of Zang E.

After reading the secret letter, Yan Hanpu did not ask Jin Chengyong about the source of the letter, but after pondering for a moment, he said again: "According to the letter, it should be Zang Shiling's private behavior, but I still don't understand what benefit he has in assassinating Princess Yulan?"

"The crazy man's thoughts are really incomprehensible, maybe he wants to provoke Li Chengji's hatred for the Zang family, and wants to use his hand to completely destroy the family that he thinks is dirty. It's just that she took pity on Lan'er and became a victim of the fight between them for no reason. ”

"Your Majesty, has the Zhao Xin clan ever been in contact with Zang Shiling?"

"I have already asked someone to check again, and there has been preliminary information back, and there is no sign that Zang Shiling has been in contact with Zhao Xin's envoy to Xia Geng's country, as for whether he has contact with Zhao Xin's country in Qingling City, it remains to be investigated. However, according to the current information, it can be concluded that Yulan's death must be inseparable from the Zang family of the Xia Geng clan. ”

Weichen still hopes that this matter must be handled carefully, otherwise it will give Zhao Xin's country a chance to take advantage of. ”

"There will be a day when the water will come out, Lan'er will not die for no reason, I will invite you to come and discuss something. ”

"Your Majesty, you can command as much as you want. ”

"Talks with the Zhao Xin clan continue, and they can agree to the non-aggression treaty they proposed for a hundred years, as long as the conditions are fair and reasonable, but I would like to add one more, except that the conditions I propose must not appear in the form of a paper treaty. ”

"What conditions does the gentleman want to attach?"

"Five years later, he attacked the Xia Geng clan with the Zhao Xin clan. ”

"Your Majesty, you must not, this is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger. That Zhao Xin's country is now so strong, and it already has the heart to unify Jiu Nao Prefecture, if it joins forces with Xia Geng's country, then my Jinhai clan country will also be in danger!,"

"There are five years to prepare, and my Jinhai clan can quickly digest the benefits gained from the war, and the army in the south of the Xia Geng clan is much stronger than the western border, but the resources in the south are scarce compared to the land in the west.

"Your Majesty, have you already decided?"

"Hey, my original plan was to unite with the Xia Geng clan to fight against the Zhao Xin clan, and then slowly figure it out, waiting for the right opportunity to appear, and join forces with the Xia Geng clan to annihilate the Zhao Xin clan in one fell swoop. Now that there is a blood feud, it is naturally even more impossible, and it also gives me an opportunity to unite with the Zhao Xin clan. ”

"The situation of the Zhao Xin clan is also turbulent now, and Zhao Lingwu, the king of Jing, has always had the intention of usurping the throne, and has achieved good results, since I want to talk, I think it is safer to talk to Zhao Lingwu, and two years later, he also wants my country to send troops to help him involve the troops in the south of the Zhao Xin clan. We took this as an exchange condition, and Zhao Lingwu couldn't help but disagree. ”

"Indeed, when the internal turmoil of Zhao Xin's country ends, the national strength will inevitably weaken, and then our country will not be very different from it, so naturally we will no longer be afraid of it. Just wait for the rise of my Jinhai clan to annex it, and then it will be my Jinhai clan that will dominate Jiunao Prefecture. ”

"At that time, the name of the monarch will inevitably be remembered by all creatures in Jiunao Prefecture, and it will be recorded in the annals of the Dihao Continent. ”

"We still have to plan carefully, we must eliminate those who have different intentions, and now the dynasty must also be rectified, although since I succeeded to the throne, some poor talents have a channel to rise, but those gate valve families still hold important political resources. You should know this very well!"

"It is the luck of our life to meet the king, and we will do our best for the king's long-cherished wish. ”

"At that time, your name of Yan Hanpu will also shine in the annals of history. ”

"Thank you for your kindness. ”
