Chapter 987: The Head of the Five Kingdoms
Zhou Changan was stunned, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "How can you see it?"
Lin Wan hooked his lips and smiled, and asked instead of answering: "Father, with your understanding of the emperor of Nanyue Kingdom, do you think he will give away the 'Tianshi Divine Sword' that Nanyue Kingdom regards as the treasure of the town and symbolizes supreme power?"
Zhou Changan's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light shot out of his gaze, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you mean, Lan Shengtian will send a fake 'Heavenly Stone Divine Sword'?"
Lin Wan shrugged her shoulders, shook her head and said, "Wan'er doesn't know what kind of conspiracy the people of Nanyue will come up with, Wan'er can only guess the result, but she can't guess the process." ”
Zhou Changan twisted his eyebrows, seemed to be a little displeased, and said coldly: "You continue." ”
Lin Wan nodded slightly, and said back to the truth: "Father, if the third princess escapes with Brother Jin, you will definitely send troops to chase after you, in this way, no matter whether we can chase the third princess back or not, we will definitely turn against Dongli Kingdom." When the Nanyue Kingdom succeeded in gaining control of the Xiling Kingdom, the Dafeng State lost the grain and grass support of the Dongli Kingdom. At that time, even with the help of the Northern Chen State, the Great Feng State will no longer be the opponent of the South Yue State. Lin Wanliu frowned slightly, paused, and said word by word: "Father, if the current relatively stable situation is broken, it will definitely be a big mess in the world." ”
Zhou Changan lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought. Lin Wan said this, he didn't think of it, but now that Xiling Kingdom has completely fallen into the hands of Ximen Hucheng, the king of Qi, Ximen Longao's body has been worse day by day, even if Ximen Yuqing returns to China, it may not be able to turn the tide.
Lin Wan seemed to see Zhou Chang'an's thoughts, and continued: "Father, as long as you don't express your stance and don't let go, first delay the family affairs of the third princess, and after a year and a half, the situation will be very different. ”
Zhou Changan's eyes lit up, he looked at Lin Wan steadily, and asked with some suspicion: "What does Wan'er mean is that she will make a decision after the internal disputes within Xiling Kingdom are over?" After a pause, he said: "You are so sure that after Ximen Yuqing returns to China, he will definitely be able to take back the power of Xiling Kingdom from Ximen Hucheng's hands?"
Lin Wan nodded firmly and said, "Yes, Father." After next spring at the latest, when the Seven Princes and I return from Xiling Kingdom, we will definitely be able to bring you back good news. When the time comes, it can not only relieve the crisis of Xiling Kingdom and stabilize the current situation, but also make the position of the Great Feng State the first of the five countries more stable. ”
Zhou Changan pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Lin Wan, and when he saw Lin Wan's confident appearance, he finally nodded slightly, and said, "If you can really turn the tide, I can do my best to cooperate." ”
Lin Wan was overjoyed in her heart, and hurriedly thanked happily: "Thank you, father." ”
Jin Haoran immediately stepped forward, respectfully waved to Zhou Changan, and said sincerely: "Uncle Zhou, the little nephew has already told his father and mother about me and the third princess, and the little nephew can also send a letter back immediately, let my father take a letter of resignation, and ask Uncle Zhou to marry the third princess as my princess." Moreover, the little nephew can promise that the third princess will be the queen of our Dongli Kingdom in the future, and there is only one third princess in the three palaces and six courts. ”
Zhou Changan was stunned, he never thought that the king of a country would make such a promise. As a king, the mission to shoulder is very important, if there is really only one person in the three palaces and six courts, how to pass on the lineage, how to spread the branches?
What's more, how could the king and queen of Dongli agree? Zhou Changan shook his head lightly, as if he didn't believe Jin Haoran's words, but he was moved by his determination, and sighed lightly: "Okay, I will give you a year, if it is really as you say, all the problems are solved, then I am very willing to marry my favorite third princess to you." ”
Jin Haoran immediately nodded happily and said, "Thank you Uncle Zhou for your success!"
Zhou Changan smiled faintly and didn't say anything more. If it is really as Lin Wan said, the problem of Xiling Kingdom can be solved, and the Great Feudal State is equivalent to the support of the other three countries, then the position of the head of the five countries will be completely stable, and there will be no major changes for at least fifty years. In this way, no matter how ambitious the South Vietnamese state is, it will not be able to make any waves.
Lin Wan saw that Zhou Changan had already agreed to the second thing he said, and his heart couldn't help but let go of half of it, thought about it, and slowly said: "Father, Wan'er has a third thing to ask my father to agree." ”
Zhou Changan frowned and looked at Lin Wan again, with a warning in his eyes, as if to say, you don't want to gain an inch.
Lin Wan acquiesced to Zhou Chang'an, and continued seriously: "Father, Aunt Yu is wholeheartedly devoted to you, and the Wang family is also loyal to you, Wan'er hopes that you can trust them, don't listen to slander and kill loyal ministers and good generals." ”
Zhou Chang'an's phoenix eyes widened, and he said with anger on his face: "Presumptuous! Are you saying that I am a faint king? What do you listen to slander and kill loyal ministers and good generals? What do I do, do I still have to be judged by you?"
Lin Wan was also angry, looked directly into Zhou Changan's eyes, and asked word by word: "Father, is all this really your acquiescence?"
Zhou Changan was stunned and asked puzzledly, "What did I acquiesce into?"
Lin Wan was puzzled in her heart, her tone softened again, and she asked in a muttered voice: "The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, as well as Lu Manting, they framed Aunt Yu together, and wanted to give her a crime of bullying the monarch by helping the princess escape. Although we didn't succeed in the end, if you hadn't arrived in time, the Queen Mother would not have let us go so easily. ”
Zhou Changan thought for a while before he slowly spoke: "The fact is that Concubine Yu did help Wei'er have a private meeting with Jin Xian's nephew, and you did almost take my third princess away. If the queen mother wants to cure the sin of the jade concubine, it is not completely unreasonable. ”
Lin Wan was stunned and couldn't refute for a while, so she had to explain a little far-fetched: "Father, Aunt Yu didn't know in advance that Brother Jin and I would intercept the third princess halfway, and Brother Jin and I never thought of taking the third princess to escape, and the third princess had no intention of resisting the decree. ”
Zhou Changan raised his eyebrows slightly, his sharp gaze swept over Lin Wan and Jin Haoran's faces, obviously not believing it, but he also did not expose their lies.
Lin Wan stubbornly continued: "Father, first Lu Manting took the initiative to help the third princess intercede, so that she could participate in today's wedding banquet of the eldest brother. Then the Queen Mother deliberately left Aunt Yu and the third princess to give the third princess a chance to escape, and let Aunt Yu take on this responsibility. In the end, Prince Lan actually went to the palace late at night to visit the third princess, and the queen mother personally took someone to the gate of the harem to intercept us. If you hadn't arrived in time, the Queen Mother would not have let us go. ”
