"King Ning?" Emperor Western Qin had heard of this person, the current half-brother of Emperor Nanqi, King Ning, who failed to rebel.
"King Ning is still alive, and he is still attacking Western Qin?" Emperor Western Qin was full of doubts, "King Ning is from your Southern Qi, why did he attack Western Qin?"
King Ning is a traitor of Southern Qi, and if he wants to fight for power, he should also attack Southern Qi.
Qi Yan chuckled and said: "Your Majesty is right, King Ning has coveted the position of the father and emperor of this palace for a long time, but more than ten years have passed, he can still only lurk in the shadows, and he can't move the slightest bit in the Southern Qi River." โ
Emperor Xiqin's face changed slightly, and he said: "The six princes mean that the rivers and mountains of Southern Qi are solid, and I, Western Qin, am I easy to bully?"
Qi Yan waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, let this hall finish speaking." โ
Emperor Xiqin was embarrassed, swallowed a breath of anger, if Qi Yan couldn't say why, he would definitely not be polite to him. Thinking about it like this, Emperor Xiqin pondered that Qi Yan only brought two guards, and if he took Qi Yan down like this, he was not afraid that Emperor Southern Qi would not obey.
Qi Yan has been observing the expression of Emperor Xiqin, seeing that he is silent, and the corners of his mouth seem to be rising, and his phoenix eyes are flashing slightly, this Emperor of Western Qin's appetite is not small.
Qi Yan smiled faintly and continued: "When my father found out that King Ning was not dead, in order not to cause panic, he did not make it public, but only secretly sent someone to secretly investigate, but found nothing for so many years, until he found his trace in southern Xinjiang a few days ago, and it is no wonder that King Ning has been hiding in southern Xinjiang for so many years. It's just that his father's people haven't caught him yet, but he is ruthless first. The plague in Southern Xinjiang has not subsided, and when it is really weak, King Ning took the opportunity to attack, and blamed Nanqi, such a divisive plan, if the Southern Qi and Western Qin frontiers were at war, how could King Ning not control the interests of the fishermen. โ
Emperor Xiqin pondered for a moment and said, "What the six princes said is not unreasonable, but after all, this is just your side of the story, is there any evidence?"
The corners of Qi Yan's lips pursed a chuckle, and said: "Evidence? Dare to ask Your Majesty if Southern Qi starts a war against Western Qin, can there be a letter to the country? Can there be troops and generals, and the southern border is surrounded by soldiers from Southern Qi?"
Emperor Xi Qin slightly.
It is not a trivial matter for the two countries to go to war, they must first issue a war letter and openly declare war, even if they attack the other party's army, then they must send soldiers in advance to camp the troops. However, from the beginning to the end, Emperor Xi Qin did not receive any news of the Southern Qi troops.
"Your Majesty, Nanqi and Western Qin have been friends for many years, and the aunt of this palace is even more friendly to Nanqi, and has not yet had children with His Majesty, and this palace also wants to marry a noble daughter of Western Qin, how can it send troops to Western Qin?"
Emperor Xiqin hesitated and said: "The six princes are the proud sons of the Southern Qi Emperor, and they have the ability to fight the Confucians, I am powerless to refute them, but the six princes have always been just one side, and I have to be cautious as the king of a country." โ
Qi Yan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has a good reputation, this palace dares to come to the Western Qin Palace alone, which in itself is also the sincerity of Southern Qi, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, this palace has no choice." If His Majesty thinks that it was really Nanqi who did it, he can tie up the main hall and then force his father to comply. โ
Qi Yan seemed to be a prisoner of half a step, but he still smiled and smiled, without any panic.
"The Sixth Prince is really not afraid that I will detain you?" Emperor Xiqin's eyes narrowed slightly. He has rarely seen such a calm person, although it is not a matter of life and death at the moment, but if Qi Yan is really detained in Xiqin as a hostage, then what awaits him is unknown, it may be death, or it may be captivity. And Qi Yan clearly didn't even frown, and he smiled brightly, looking really suspicious.
"Your Majesty, please. Qi Yan slowly spit out these four words, calmly.
He was sure that Emperor Western Qin would not detain him, because he also had doubts in his heart now, such as why he had not received the news of the Southern Qi sending troops, but someone told him that it was Southern Qi who attacked Western Qin.
Sure enough, Emperor Xiqin's deep voice sounded: "For the sake of the friendship between Nanqi and Western Qin for many years, I believe the words of the six princes." โ
Qi Yan smiled faintly: "Your Majesty is wise." โ
As soon as he said this, Emperor Xiqin felt a little more comfortable.
"Whether it was Nanqi did it or not, I will send someone to verify. It's just that even if it is King Ning as His Royal Highness said, King Ning is a native of Nanqi after all, and Nanqi will not stand idly by in this matter. โ
Qi Yan raised his eyebrows and said: "Your Majesty, haven't you forgotten that in Nanqi, King Ning has long since died, but if Your Majesty is willing, Nanqi can also help Your Majesty." โ
This is a good hurry, Emperor Xiqin is counting on this. King Ning can capture five cities in a row, this force is not small, if Western Qin kills him, then the loss may be how much, if he can join forces with Nanqi, this is the best.
"Your Majesty, the affairs of southern Xinjiang have been said, but the major events of the main hall today have not been said. โ
"What's the matter?" Looking at Qi Yan's smiling appearance, Emperor Xiqin suddenly tensed his nerves, isn't there anyone who provoked him.
"Tianshu, present the letter of state to Your Majesty. Qi Yan commanded, thinking that he had finally entered today's topic.
Tianshu presented it with both hands, Hu Quan took it, and gave it to Emperor Xiqin.
Emperor Xiqin opened it and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Asking to marry the county lord of Haoyue of Western Qin? Sixth Prince, are you serious?"
Qi Yan smiled and said: "How can a marriage event be a child's play, besides, this is the letter of state personally issued by the father and queen mother of this palace, how can Your Majesty doubt it." โ
"Sixth prince, do you know that the lord of Haoyue has already had a marriage contract, and the marriage was given by me personally, you are going to rebel against me!" Emperor Xiqin of course hoped that Ling Haoyue would marry Qi Yan from his heart, and that it would always be a sign of friendship between the two countries, not to mention that it was the noble daughter of Western Qin who took the initiative to send a letter to the country to marry.
"How can Your Majesty say that it is a rebellion, as far as this palace knows, the county lord of Haoyue is the only daughter of the most noble princess of Anding in your country, and her father Ling Yuma sacrificed his life for the country, the county lord has died since he was a child, His Majesty is benevolent, and he gives the county lord a higher honor, and it is not impossible to be named a princess. Mrs. Xiao only has one grandson, Xiao Gongzi, if she is still a princess, she will have no chance with the government in the future, how can Your Majesty bear it. โ
Of course, Qi Yan knew that Emperor Xiqin's hesitation was just lip service. Thunder and rain and dew are Jun's grace, he wants to give marriage, he wants to make a decree to cancel the marriage contract, who else dares to oppose it? He just needs an excuse, an excuse to make an order to cancel the marriage contract. And the reasons have already been thought of.
Xiao Qingfeng served as the chief of southern Xinjiang, this time he first pacified the plague, and then about to pacify the war in southern Xinjiang. How can a promising son be a princess?
His Majesty is benevolent, cancels the marriage contract, and then promotes Xiao Qingfeng to an official position, and he can also fall into the reputation of being a considerate minister.
The best of both worlds, why not.
Emperor Xiqin laughed loudly and said: "What His Highness said is reasonable, I have long heard that Murong Yan, the sixth son of Emperor Southern Qi, is very eloquent, and he can fight Confucianism when he was young, and I finally saw it today." โ
Qi Yan said very "modestly": "What kind of tongue fights Confucianism, it's just that the ministers don't dare to say anything more when they see that this palace is a prince." What I said today is from the bottom of my heart, and the national letter is the proof, and I hope that Your Majesty can fulfill it. โ
Emperor Xiqin smiled, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Your Highness sincerely asks to marry my niece and daughter?" Haoyue's parents died at a young age, and I was also very sad, I originally thought that I would marry her to my teacher and grandson, and I could also ......take care of it."
Old fox!
Qi Yan scolded in his heart, he just lowered his posture slightly, and he couldn't help but ride on his head.
"Your Majesty should know the nature of my Southern Qi royal inheritance, if this palace is not the lord of Haoyue, how can he marry her? And this is a matter that is conducive to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, does Your Majesty have to hesitate any longer?" Qi Yan's voice was slightly cold.
He really shouldn't be polite to Emperor Xiqin, Emperor Xiqin's temperament is far worse than that of his father.
Emperor Xiqin saw that Qi Yan's face was slightly annoyed, and remembered the love history of the Southern Qi Emperor, so he immediately collected his thoughts and said: "Since the national letter has been issued, I will also consider it, and now the county lord of Haoyue still has a marriage contract, for the sake of the county lord's reputation, before canceling the marriage contract, this national letter must not be made public." โ
Qi Yan nodded and said, "This is natural, the county lord's reputation is the most important." The main hall awaits His Majesty's good news and takes his leave. โ
"Wait. Emperor Xiqin stopped him and said, "Since His Royal Highness has come to the palace, why don't you stay in the palace, the last time His Highness left in a hurry, he didn't have time to treat His Highness well, I was very uneasy, so I might as well ask Your Highness to stay in Yunxi Pavilion." โ
Qi Yan pondered for a moment, raised his head and said: "Okay, it just so happens that there are some people outside the palace who are not long-eyed who always come to the main hall, and they almost injured the main hall, living in the palace, this kind of thing should not happen." โ
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Emperor Xiqin's face, and the person who didn't have long eyes in Qi Yan's mouth was not the Marquis of Zhenyuan that he had sent.
"Of course, Your Highness can stay in peace. โ
Qi Yan nodded and said with a smile: "Then bother Your Majesty." โ
"Hu Quan, you send the six princes to Yunxi Pavilion. โ
Hu Quan respectfully accepted the order and sent Qi Yan to Yunxi Pavilion.
โฆโฆ
"Your Highness, since Your Highness came last time, Yunxi Pavilion has been cleaned by palace people every day, Your Highness can live with peace of mind, if you have no other instructions, the slave will leave. โ
"I didn't have an order, but the main hall suddenly remembered something, but I wanted to ask my father-in-law. โ
Hu Quan's heart jumped, what did this little ancestor want to ask.
Hu Quan lowered his eyes and replied: "Your Highness can ask whatever you want, the slave will definitely know everything." "If you know, you will say, if you don't know, you won't say, as for what you know, and what you don't know, this is Hu Quan's own measurement.
Qi Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I heard that Gonggong Hu saw the Lord of Haoyue a few days ago, and the main hall hasn't seen her for a few days, is she okay?"
As he spoke, he shook his head again and said, "Alas, it must be not good, at the birthday banquet of Old Lady Ling, Yue'er seems to have been wronged." โ
