Chapter 170: Change, Too Much Deception
Han Yunxi was in a happy mood, and followed behind Long Feiye and walked towards Furong Courtyard.
Long Feiye was very quiet all the way, and the two walked to the fork in the garden one after the other, to the right was the corridor leading to the dormitory, and to the left was the path leading to the Yunxian Pavilion.
Han Yunxi always felt that just about Concubine Yi, this big ice cube should say something, she faintly doubted, is it that Long Feiye and Emperor Tianhui quarreled because of the matter of marriage, so, the matter of her imprisonment, Emperor Tianhui insisted on biting, forcing Long Feiye to take out the privilege token?
Otherwise, although Emperor Tianhui had the intention of killing her, but, without evidence, he wouldn't give Long Feiye a chance at all, wouldn't he?
Seeing that he was at a fork in the road, Han Yunxi was walking slower and slower, but Long Feiye didn't say anything, nor did he stop, but turned right.
Well, she really thought too much, and seeing Long Feiye's back blurred in the dim corridor, Han Yunxi obediently went back to her Yunxian Pavilion.
Finally home!
Under Mama Zhao's various concerns, Han Yunxi washed away her tiredness, ate her heart's content, and immediately saw the locked window as soon as she went to the attic.
Han Yunxi suddenly smirked, no one was present, I don't know what she was embarrassed about? She coughed lightly a few times, brushed her bangs, smoothed her long hair, and after all kinds of small movements, she finally walked over and neatly unlocked the window and opened the window!
As soon as the window was opened, the night broke in, and the brightly lit palace not far away stood out in the dim night, but it was also particularly mysterious.
Han Yunxi lay lazily on the windowsill, supporting her head with one hand, looking at it, and unconsciously fell into a trance.
Long Feiye, you take the privilege order to save me, in the end, in the end...... Why?
At this time, Long Feiye was taking a bath in the hot spring pool in the dormitory.
He leaned against the edge of the pool, his three thousand black hair casually scattered, his slender and refined arms spread out and landed on the shore, his bronzed chest was clearly textured, and his figure was so good that it was blood-spurting, making it impossible to imagine the half of his body underwater.
He tilted his head, even though his eyes were closed, but he still exuded the domineering spirit of a king who looked down on the world, he seemed to be thinking about a problem, as for what he was thinking, there was no way to know......
The next day, Princess Changping went out of the funeral, and the truth about the princess's death did not come out, only claiming that the princess was infected with a vicious disease and died.
After all, making the truth public is too embarrassing for the royal family, and the impact is not good.
Han Yunxi and Long Feiye attended the funeral together, and at the funeral, Han Yunxi obviously felt the hostility of the Queen Mother.
Although Han Yunxi is not the murderer, she is not surprised by this hostility, even if she was pointed out to Long Feiye by the Queen Mother, but without the heart of loyalty to the Queen Mother, even if nothing like this happens, sooner or later there will be a conflict between her and the Queen Mother.
On the contrary, it was the Emperor of Tianhui, except for his heavy face and silence, he did not show too many expressions, the emperor, after all, the emperor.
For several days in a row, Han Yunxi rested in the mansion, and Concubine Yi did not find her any trouble because of Princess Rongle's affairs, and the matter at the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve did not spread, and Princess Rongle's marriage seemed to have passed like this.
However, soon, Han Yunxi found that she was thinking too much.
On the fifteenth Lantern Festival, bad news came from the northwest of Tianning, and the emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty transferred one-third of the troops stationed in the Santu battlefield!
The three kingdoms of the Yunkong Continent, Tianning, Western Zhou and Beili, the three kingdoms border each other, the north of Tianning is the Northern Calendar, and the west is the Western Zhou, and just in the northwest of Tianning, the northeast of the Western Zhou, and the southwest of Beili, that is, the junction of the three kingdoms, there is a battlefield, which is the three-way battlefield.
The battlefield of the three roads is not big but not small, about the size of three cities, there are no high mountains, all are flat land and hills, this is the land that the three kingdoms have fought for for generations, and it is also the land whose ownership is still disputed to this day.
It is precisely because there is a dispute over the ownership of the right that no country can control it, so the place has become a three-regardless zone, where there is no monarch and no royal law.
When there is no war, it is full of all kinds of dark deeds, fists are kings, and strong people are kings.
The three kingdoms all built cities and garrisons on the edge of the three-way battlefield, strictly controlled the exchange of border passes, and defended against wars that might break out at any time.
The border pass of Beili is the easiest to defend and difficult to attack the "Three Mountains Pass", and it is basically impossible to cross the land of the three ways to capture the border pass of the Northern Calendar Kingdom. The border pass of the Western Zhou Dynasty is also mountainous, although it is not as good as the terrain of the Northern Calendar Kingdom, but it is not a border pass that is easy to attack, but the border pass of the Tianning Kingdom is a horse and a flat river.
This can be said to be the most difficult and weakest place to defend among all the borders of Tianning Kingdom. Although with the efforts of the kings of Tianning Kingdom, a flat Great Wall "Nantu Great Wall" was built here, however, when it really started, the city wall of this district was no match for the army of tigers and wolves in the north!
Tianning and the Western Zhou Dynasty formed a good alliance by in-laws, and it was with the help of the Western Zhou Dynasty's troops that they jointly defended against the invasion of the Northern Calendar.
Now that the Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty has actually withdrawn one-third of the troops stationed on the battlefield of Santu, and he made this decision not long after Princess Rongle returned to China, what does this move mean?
This is a naked threat!
Emperor Tianhui threw the fold out fiercely, and several ministers in the imperial study immediately knelt down, including General Mu and Mu Qingwu.
"Damn! It's disgusting! ”
Emperor Tianhui had a great temper, and originally played a good abacus, but as soon as the matter of peace and relatives was decided after the year, he immediately proposed to meet with the Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty to discuss military cooperation on the border of the three routes, exchange weapons and weapons, and take into account the two countries strategically and make long-term plans.
But who knows, before the year has passed, such bad news has come!
War is the best means to test a country's overall strength.
Since Emperor Tianhui succeeded to the throne for more than ten years, the situation in the Three Kingdoms has been quite stable, although there have been a few wars, but they are not major battles, so the problems of Tianning State in terms of treasury deficit and backward armament have not been manifested in these years.
What Emperor Tianhui is most afraid of is a big battle, to be precise, what he is most afraid of is an accident on the battlefield of the three ways.
Beili was already eyeing Tianning Country and was ready to move, and he had been trying to figure out the three-way battlefield and break a hole in the defensive line of Tianning Kingdom's northern frontier. Once Emperor Beili gets this news, can he miss this great opportunity lightly? Can you not do something?
In the silence, Mu Qingwu bowed his hand and said seriously, "Your Majesty, the Western Zhou Dynasty is too deceitful!" The last general is willing to rush to the three-way battlefield immediately, dispatch troops, food and grass, and swear to defend the frontier to the death! ”
Mu Qingwu has always had a lot of opinions on the defensive strategy of the three-way battlefield, Tianning is too dependent on the Western Zhou, and in the end he will only fall into a situation where he is controlled by others, and the most fundamental thing is that he is strong and strong.
However, Mu Qingwu is too young after all, how can he find out the real worries of the Emperor of Tianhui, even if he is an old general, he may not be able to understand the bottom of the Emperor of Tianhui!
Emperor Tianhui glanced at Mu Qingwu, a touch of impatience flashed in his eyes, and after a long time, he asked everyone to retreat.
"Your Majesty, this move of the Western Zhou Dynasty is clearly ......"
Mu Qingwu was about to admonish, but Emperor Tianhui interrupted angrily, "Get out!" ”
Mu Qingwu didn't give up, however, General Mu glared at him fiercely and pulled him away.
"Father, if the emperor compromises this time, will he have it in the future? What's more, King Qin may not agree! If this matter spreads, where will King Qin's face go? Where is the dignity of my Tianning Kingdom? ”
Mu Qingwu was extremely angry, he knew that the Western Zhou Emperor's move was for the sake of harmony, just for Princess Rongle's own selfishness, did the Western Zhou Emperor regard the long-term cooperation between the two countries as child's play?
Or did the Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty have other ideas on the cooperation between the two countries, and this time it is just a matter of playing on the topic?
Mu Qingwu didn't have time to think about it so much, these were the scope of those advisers, he only knew that if the emperor compromised this time, it would undoubtedly show weakness to the Western Zhou!
"Shhhh Enough is enough! The general frowned, pulled Mu Qingwu away from the imperial study, and then spoke, "Qingwu, you have to remember the duty of a courtier!" Also, in the future, the emperor will not be on the premise of King Qin! ”
Everyone knows that the emperor not only attaches importance to the King of Qin, but also warns of the King of Qin, and the general's palace holds the military power, and the most important thing is to get too close to the King of Qin.
"Father, why do you even ......?"
Before Mu Qingwu finished speaking, he suddenly stopped, only to see His Royal Highness King Qin coming from the side and walking towards the imperial study.
Mu Qingwu was about to go over, but General Mu said, "The emperor has already made a decision in his heart, and it is useless to persuade him, go back!" ”
After that, he dragged Mu Qingwu away.
Long Feiye glanced at the Mu father and son who were pulling not far away, and he knew it in his heart, he was expressionless and walked into the imperial study.
In the imperial study, the folds sent by the border horses were still lying on the ground, and the Emperor of Tianhui faced the territory map on the wall, his hands behind his back, and his ten fingers intertwined.
Long Feiye picked it up, glanced at it, threw it on the table, and said lightly, "Brother Huang urgently summoned his subordinates, what's the matter?" ”
"Look at the fold." Emperor Tianhui said coldly.
"Looked." Long Feiye immediately replied.
"What do you think?" Emperor Tianhui asked.
"For the major affairs of the military aircraft, the imperial brother should consult with General Mu and the military department, and the younger brother has never understood these affairs." Long Feiye was still very calm.
However, Emperor Tianhui suddenly laughed, "Also, why did I forget that King Qin has never been involved in military affairs. ”
"If there is nothing else, the younger brother will retire first." Long Feiye really dared to say it.
But who knows, Emperor Tianhui said lightly, "Gonggong Xue, declare the decree!" ”
Decree?
How familiar this sentence is, as early as more than half a year ago, it was also in the imperial study, just the two of them, Emperor Tianhui also asked Xue Gonggong to read the holy decree, chose a wedding date for him, and married Han Yunxi.
Today, history repeats itself.
Gonggong Xue timidly walked out and read out a volume of holy decrees, this time, Emperor Tianhui wanted Long Feiye to marry Princess Rongle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, not only to marry Long Feiye, but also to personally lead the team of relatives and go to the Western Zhou Dynasty to ask for marriage!
The emperor's decree cannot be violated, and the holy decree is even more irresistible.
He is a king after all, and he is a minister after all.
Resisting the decree, the crime is heinous!
When Gonggong Xue finished reading it, Emperor Tianhui slowly turned around and looked at Long Feiye who was kneeling on one knee, and a sneering smile appeared on his lips.
Long Feiye, since you toast and don't eat and drink, don't blame me for being ruthless. You had no choice when you married Han Yunxi, and this time you don't have a choice!
"King Qin, still haven't received the decree?" Emperor Tianhui asked with interest.
But who knows, Long Feiye actually stood up and said coldly, "Brother Huang, my brother can't do it!" ”
If marrying Han Yunxi is a compromise, then he is only willing to compromise once in his life!
