182 He made a man
The marriage between the two countries has been decided, and there are no more people in the court who show joy except for Zhao Qiguang, the second prince of Nanzhao, Lord Yuan and others.
Emperor Shunping looked at the five princes with a shallow gaze, the five princes had a gentle face, and nodded towards Zhao Qiguang, the second prince of Nanzhao, "I will definitely not give the second prince such a chance!" ā
The arrogance of his words was not in any way in line with his usual gentle actions and methods.
Zhao Qiguang laughed, patted the shoulder of the fifth prince and praised, "Good! ā
He turned his head and said to Emperor Shunping, "Your Majesty, this horse is well chosen, and it has an appetite for my Nanzhao!" ā
Emperor Shunping also laughed along.
Lord Yuan and the others hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and shouted, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The marriage between Da'an and Nanzhao is utilitarian! ā
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live! The marriage between Da'an and Nanzhao is utilitarian! ā
The three princes and the six princes glanced at each other, and they all knelt down and shouted, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The marriage between Da'an and Nanzhao is utilitarian! ā
The sound was deafening and resounded throughout the hall.
The corners of Emperor Shunping's lips hooked the arc of mockery, the light at the bottom of his eyes flashed, and he stared at the two angry sons below, and for a moment, he shifted his gaze and fell on the kneeling and expressionless old five, and no one noticed a soft sigh.
When Lian Sheng heard it, he hurriedly brought the tea and handed it over, and Emperor Shunping smiled at him and shook his head.
The third prince was on fire, returned to the palace and kicked open the door of the study, scolding, "What the hell is going on?" The fifth child just fell into the eyes of the old man, is his eyes blind?! ā
The strategist paused and silently followed.
When the three princes heard this, they looked at each other, and their eyes were hesitant, but they walked in one after another.
The third prince sat on the first place and waved his hand to let everyone sit.
Everyone sat down in turn, and the maid served tea, stirred the charcoal fire, and withdrew from the door. The third prince took a sip of tea, put the tea cup on the coffee table, and said coldly, "I really annoyed this king, I don't do it anymore, I really killed the princess of Nanzhao Kingdom, this king wants to see who Chu Qiao is going to marry?!" ā
Several of the confidants of the third prince looked at Fang Mou, but Fang Mou hung his head, staring at the floating tea leaves in the tea cup, silent, and several people quietly glanced at each other, and they were smart and silent.
The three princes scolded Nanzhao Guo from top to bottom, and counted the five princes from the inside out, and even brought Emperor Shunping who didn't know gold and jade, and had eyes but no beads......
Several henchmen and ministers were sore when they heard this, but Fang Strategist was still indifferent.
A minister finally couldn't stand it anymore and said, "If only the second lady of the Zhongqin Marquis Mansion was here." ā
As soon as these words came out, the third prince instantly frowned.
The other person tore at the clothes of the person who spoke, and he really couldn't open which pot to mention! In the final analysis, the death of the second lady of the Zhongqin Marquis Mansion has something to do with the pandering of the third prince, isn't it ugly for the third prince to say it so blatantly?
The man was pulled for a moment, and then he suddenly reacted, his expression was a little embarrassed, and he looked at the third prince and said, "Your Highness, what does Weichen mean ......"
"All right, this king understands what you mean." Where did the third prince have the mood to care about such a trivial matter, he waved his hand and said, "Since the old man has made up his mind to let the fifth child marry Nanzhao, how can he not survive if he dreams of Fuyu!" ā
There was some truth in this, and the man stopped talking.
The third prince sighed and looked at Fang Moushi, "Mr. Fang, what should we do now?" The old man's meaning is simply Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it! If we don't move again, we'll be meat on the sticky board, and we will be eaten by others! ā
Everyone nodded, their eyes looking at Fang Strategist in unison.
Fang Strategist raised his head at this time, and analyzed unhurriedly, "Nanzhao is located in the south, with strong national strength and strong troops, Great Chu and Western Xia are very jealous, and Northern Zhou and Northern Qi are even more excited, if the three princes want to inherit the throne, then Nanzhao can't move!" ā
"Nanzhao can't move, do you want to watch that idiot of the fifth child ascend to the throne?" The third prince was angry, and there was a little impatience in his voice.
Fang Strategist glanced at him and said lightly, "Your Highness, don't be irritable, this time is the most taboo to be disturbed. ā
The third prince frowned, looked at Fang Strategist for a while, and took a deep breath, "It's that this king is too impatient, sir, please continue." ā
"Nanzhao sent Zhao Qiguang, the second prince known as the god of war, this time, and he was obviously worried that there would be problems with the marriage between the two countries, so Zhao Qiguang would come to suppress the formation!" Fang Strategist nodded and continued, "And judging from Zhao Qiguang's actions, it seems that he has already designated the five princes as Nanzhao's concubines, and he hasn't even looked at the other princes. ā
Several henchmen and ministers glanced at each other, their eyes were surprised, the three princes swept over, their eyes were cold, and several people were busy sitting down, looking like they were listening carefully.
The third prince closed his eyes.
Fang Moushi said, "Are you thinking that it is because other princes of appropriate age have married concubines and concubines as the emperor said?" ā
Several people nodded subconsciously, and were glared at by the third prince again.
Fang Strategist smiled, "That being said, the marriage between the two countries has always been good, although it is good for Qin and Jin, but it also depends on the strength of both parties, Princess Nanzhao is obviously a person who has been favored by thousands of people, if Zhao Qiguang didn't hint in advance, how could he come up and choose the weak fifth prince?" ā
After that, he didn't look at the three princes' changed faces, his eyes flickered on the faces of the confidants and ministers, and continued, "I'm afraid that the three princes' worries have come true, and the emperor really wants to pass on the position to the five princes." ā
Everyone stood up in shock, "How can that be done!" ā
yes, how does that work?
They worked so hard for so long that they saw that the duck was about to be cooked, and they flew like that?
The third prince did not speak with a cold face, and everyone began to chatter and whisper, and the strategist lowered his eyes and continued to drink the tea that was already cool in the teacup.
In the middle of the sound, he drank a cup of tea, and the third prince spoke, "Since you can't afford to offend Nanzhao, you can only be sorry for the fifth child!" ā
The room instantly fell silent and looked at the three princes.
Fang Strategist also put the teacup and nodded at the third prince, "When you break it, you will continue to suffer from it!" ā
Several confidant ministers took a deep breath, knelt down and said in unison, "Weichen and others are willing to listen to the dispatch of the third prince, don't dare to disobey!" ā
"Get up."
The third prince stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes fell on a picture of splendid mountains and rivers on the wall, and his eyes gradually cooled.
ā¦ā¦
The people who want to kill the fifth prince Chu Qiao are obviously not only the third prince.
When his people broke into King Xuan's Mansion in the dark, the assassins in King Xuan's Mansion had already made trouble, and all the people gathered in the courtyard where the five princes lived.
Torches flickered, figures swayed, and shouts and killings were endless.
The people of the three princes looked at each other, not knowing whether to stab them horizontally again.
Halfway through, the leader waved his hand and fell, his voice cold, "Kill!" ā
A few black shadows jumped on the roof, and they arrived at the courtyard of the five princes in an instant, but they were blocked by the guards on the third floor inside and the outer three floors, and they couldn't get close to the five princes at all!
Only then did the leader realize that something was wrong, and immediately decided, "Go!" ā
Quickly and decisively evacuated the chaotic scene, leaving the group of assassins to be besieged by the Five Princes' men.
When the third prince got the news, he laughed, and said to Fang Moushi happily, "Sir, who do you think we are going there earlier?" ā
Fang Mou Shi laughed, and made a gesture of six, which led to another burst of laughter from the third prince.
But if they missed this opportunity, the people of the three princes could not enter the Xuanwang Mansion for half a step!
Xuanwang's Mansion went up to the roof, the top of the attic, and went down to the corners, in a remote place, day and night, and arranged twelve hours of non-stop intensive patrols, and people who were not Xuanwangfu couldn't move around at all!
The people of the three princes can't enter, and the people of the six princes naturally can't get in.
The faces of the two of them are not good-looking, and they haven't slept peacefully for a few days, and when they go to court again, both of them have dark circles under their eyes, which can't be hidden, and the brothers have a feeling of sympathy for each other, and smile at each other.
Emperor Shunping looked at the appearance of the two brothers with a smile, and waved his hand to retreat.
A series of actions by Emperor Shunping and the two princes had already entered the eyes of the Mu family, and the old man of the Mu family called the second master of the Mu family and the third master of the Mu family to discuss countermeasures, and Gu Zizhou came uninvited.
The old man of the Mu family did not have a good face for him, and the second master of the Mu family interceded with the third old man, so that Gu Zizhou stayed.
"Now the shape in this capital, I think you all know it, let's talk about it, how do we take Emperor Shunping's move?"
The second master of the Mu family and the third master of the Mu family glanced at each other, and the second master of the Mu family said first, "Big brother, Emperor Shunping wants to push the five princes to the throne, but the five princes are weak and cannot become a threat, let's ......"
The old man of the Mu family frowned and glanced at the second master.
The third master of the Mu family hurriedly said, "The second brother is wrong!" If the five princes alone cannot become a threat, but the current situation is: the five princes have become the concubines of the Nanzhao Kingdom. Then you have to be cautious! ā
After that, he looked at the old man of the Mu family with a smile, "Right, big brother?" ā
The old man of the Mu family gave him a look, stroked his beard, didn't say yes or no, only the frowning of his eyebrows did not relax a little.
The third master of the Mu family smiled and closed his mouth.
"What do you say?" The old man of the Mu family looked at Gu Zizhou, who was lazily half leaning on the Taishi's chair, and said lightly.
Gu Zizhou raised his eyes and smiled, "I think...... There's nothing wrong with that? The three princes are brutal, the six princes have no ideas, and although the five princes are not ruthless enough, they are still more than enough to keep it! ā
The old man's face darkened instantly.
The second master of the Mu family and the third master of the Mu family glanced at each other, and one interjected, "Big brother, in your opinion, what should we do?" ā
An exaggeration said, "I don't think it's better to do people directly, it's a hundred!" ā
The old man of the Mu family and the third master of the Mu family looked at the second master of the Mu family together, and the second master blinked, "I, what did I say wrong?" ā
The third master of the Mu family looked at the old man of the Mu family, and the old man of the Mu family looked at the second master, stroked his beard slowly with one hand, and said lightly, "You didn't say anything wrong." ā
"If I don't approve of this, will my father listen to it?" Gu Zizhou's eyes flashed over something, and he said indifferently.
The old man of the Mu family glanced at him, "What do you say?" ā
Gu Zizhou got up, struggled his sleeves, raised his eyes and smiled warmly, "Most of them won't listen, then forget it, my son won't persuade me." You talk, I still have something to do, go back to Star Lake. ā
The old man of the Mu family frowned, "The Mu family is your home, what's the matter with you running to Falling Star Lake all day long?" ā
"The Mu family gave birth to me and raised me, naturally it is my family, but the Gu family has taken me in for nearly 20 years, without the Gu family, there would be no me today, how can it be regarded as my second home!" Gu Zizhou leaned over and said with a smile, "Dad, will you eat my father-in-law's vinegar?" ā
The old man of the Mu family's face suddenly turned ugly, with a look of disdain, "Go quickly, don't delay our deliberations!" ā
Gu Zizhou took a step back, stood tall, and saluted the second and third masters of the Mu family, "Second uncle, third uncle, I'm going." ā
The second master of the Mu family and the third master of the Mu family nodded with a smile, "Go, go, go and see your father-in-law come home early." ā
Gu Zizhou smiled and turned to go out.
The mood of the old man of the Mu family is completely ruined!
Staring at his son's figure and walking away, the old man of the Mu family looked at the second old man and said, "Second brother, just do as you say, hurry up and find someone!" ā
The second master of the Mu family was confused and pointed at himself, "Me? What did I say? ā
The old man of the Mu family glared at him, and the third master of the Mu family hurriedly said, "Don't worry, eldest brother, my second brother and I will arrange it, and we will arrange it......"
As he spoke, he pulled the second master of the Mu family out of the room.
The second master of the Mu family, the second monk, was confused, grabbed the third master of the Mu family and asked, "Third brother, what's the matter?" ā
"Didn't you build yƬ big brother to make the five princes?" The third master of the Mu family looked at the second master of the Mu family who was surprised with amusement, and pulled him, "Let's go, let's go, hurry up and tell someone, it's better to deal with this matter early!" ā
The second master of the Mu family came back to his senses and slammed his mouth and said, "Don't say it, Emperor Shunping has really been trained over the years, and he actually played this trick for us!" ā
"He's already experienced!" The third master of the Mu family shook his head, but his eyes were very disdainful, "Otherwise, my aunt would not have been forced to be like that by him back then, my grandfather would not have died, and my father would not have withdrawn from the court, let him call for wind and rain!" ā
The second master of the Mu family thought so, "It's a pity that Chu Qiao's kid, I think he is quite pleasing to the eye!" Originally, I thought about giving him an idle prince in the future......"
It's a pity.
The third master of the Mu family sneered twice, "Second brother, put away your compassion, become a king or lose, the game has just begun, I don't know who wins and who loses!" ā
The second master of the Mu family glanced at the third master of the Mu family, "Come on, I still need your teaching!" ā
The brothers went out of the yard with their mouths shut, and gradually fell silent.
"Mu Jiu." The old man of the Mu family closed his eyes and sighed heavily.
Mu Jiu came in from outside wearing a dark robe, and said lightly, "Master." ā
"You go and follow the eldest young master and see what he wants to do." The old man of the Mu family closed his eyes and ordered, "If he stops the second master and the third master from acting, bring him back to me, and don't have to show mercy to his subordinates!" ā
Mu Jiuyi was stunned, "Master, this is ......"
"Leave it alone, go ahead." The old man of the Mu family opened his eyes, his face was a little tired, "My Mu family only got one of his descendants, I don't know if it's fortunate or unlucky?" If he thinks about the Mu family, if he is dedicated to outsiders......"
The old man's eyes fell in the direction of the ancestral hall, and his voice was unheard, "It's better to die outside......
Mu Jiu was frightened and hurriedly lowered his head.
The old man of the Mu family glanced at him and waved his hand, "Go ahead." ā
Mu Jiu didn't dare to say more, respectfully agreed, and walked out quickly.
ā¦ā¦
The five princes, please see Princess Ayiqiu of Nanzhao.
Zhao Qiguang greeted people into the door with a smile, "Aren't you Da'an the most important thing about etiquette and rules?" Why are you in a hurry to see the bride before you get married? ā
After that, he laughed smugly.
The fifth prince looked stern, there was no smile on his face, Zhao Qiguang frowned slightly, "What kind of expression is this of the fifth prince?" ā
"Second prince, can you let this king see Princess Ayiqiu, this king ...... I have something to ask Princess Ayiqiu. The fifth prince pondered for a moment and said solemnly.
Zhao Qiguang's frowning brows twisted slightly, and he looked the fifth prince up and down, "It's the same if you have anything to ask me." ā
The fifth prince tugged at the corners of his mouth, Zhao Qiguang's frowning eyebrows became tighter and tighter, and asked tentatively, "You kid shouldn't want to regret his marriage, right?" ā
Without waiting for the fifth prince to speak, he waved his hand to the maid of Nanzhao on the side, "Go, please come out of your princess." ā
The maid left in response, and Zhao Qiguang led the five princes to sit down.
Another maid came in to serve tea, but the five princes didn't look at it, and Zhao Qiguang's scrutiny and exploration were a little heavier.
After a while, Ayiqiu came in with a cloak, and the maid served Ayiqiu in addition to the cloak, revealing the exquisite Nanzhao service inside. Ayiqiu first met Zhao Qiguang with the etiquette of Nanzhao, and then lightly blessed himself, and bowed to the five princes, "Fifth Highness." ā
The five princes got up, returned the salute, and then sat down as the host and guest.
"I don't know what the five princes have to say if they want to see Ayiqiu?" Ayiqiu's voice is clear, her eyes are smiling without a smile, and her beautiful face can't be covered by a thin veil.
The fifth prince was unmoved, and set his eyes on Zhao Qiguang, "Second prince, can Chu Qiao say a few words alone with Princess Ayiqiu?" ā
"Ayiqiu is my own sister-in-law, what do I don't know about her? You are open to say! Don't chirp! Zhao Qiguang spoke sharply and rushed to the five princes.
The fifth prince was not annoyed, smiled gently, and went to look at Ayiqiu, "Princess Ayiqiu, can Chu Qiao say a few words to you alone?" ā
