Chapter 39: Victory

The royal palace of the Vasi Kingdom is not large, but it also has a kind of royal majesty, here is not like the Tianyang Kingdom for the vermilion palace wall, the golden roof, the palace walls built by the gold-loving Vasi people are all golden, but after returning to the Tianyang Kingdom, the king of the Vasi Kingdom in order to show respect for the Tianyang Kingdom, also imitated the palace of the Tianyang Kingdom and painted the palace wall vermilion.

The army was left outside the palace, and only Shenyue Haoqing, Shenyue Haoxuan and other lieutenants entered the palace, this decision was of course doubted at first, but it was immediately refuted by Shenyue Haoqing's cold "It's okay".

In front of the main hall, Shenyue Haoqing and the others had not yet approached, and from a distance, they saw the queen wearing a vermilion phoenix robe and a phoenix crown with a pair of children kneeling in front of the gate.

"Thank you for saving your life!" The queen choked up and bowed her head in thanks.

A month earlier, after Vasirata had fallen seriously ill, the queen and her children had been kept out of the palace by Vasitas on the grounds that the king was too ill to be disturbed, and then placed them under house arrest, without even having a chance to see him for the last time before his death. Not long ago, Vasitas sent the family to prison on the absurd grounds that the queen had killed the king. The queen was ready to accompany the king, but she didn't expect to be saved from being killed because of King Qingning.

"Queen, please." Shenyue Haoqing helped them up, and saw the prince who was about eleven or twelve years old on the side, "What's your name?" ”

"Vashidaka, Dhaka means son of king!" Vashidaka didn't look timid at all, and looked at Shenyue Haoqing with his head held high and replied, his eyes were clear.

"Good, son of the king! Remember, from now on, you will be the king of the kingdom of Vassi, and likewise, the courtier of the kingdom of Tianyang. You have to protect your mother and sister and the people of this Wasi country, are you willing? Shenyue Haoqing looked at the immature child in front of him with appreciation.

"I am willing, I will definitely protect my country and my people, and the Vasi Kingdom will always be willing to submit to the Tianyang Kingdom!" Vasidaka pursed his lips and promised solemnly, his voice still full of childishness, but his tone contained the majesty of a king.

Shenyue Haoqing explained some things to the queen, after all, the current king is still too young, and some things always need the assistance of adults, and the queen seems to be a smart woman, with her assistance, Vashidaka will definitely become an excellent monarch.

"Bang!" At this time, there was a sudden loud noise from the side of Vasitas Palace, Shenyue Haoqing frowned, a thought flashed in his heart, and he immediately went over there.

"The prince, the second prince, he ...... Suicide! Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, the soldiers came to report it.

Suicide? Shenyue Haoqing sneered, and walked directly into the study without speaking. Then he saw Vasitas lying on the ground with a dagger in his chest, the blood had dried up, and there was a suicide note on the table, probably because he felt guilty and had no face to face the saint, and was willing to apologize for his sins, and the letter was still stained with blood. Shenyue Haoqing asked his subordinates to carry the body out and dispose of it, and then left it in the study to check, and sure enough, he found a mechanism button under a beautiful painting hanging on the wall. When the mechanism was pressed, the originally sealed wall moved to the side, but what appeared in front of Shenyue Haoqing's eyes was not a dark secret passage, nor a closed secret room, but a messy pile of stones. Obviously, the loud bang was caused by someone blowing up the place.

Shenyue Haoqing closed the door and walked out quietly. He guessed that Vasitas's rebellion was related to the Qi State, and if there was no stronger country behind it, according to Vasitas's character, he would not dare to do anything to rebel, and a cowardly person dared to do these things for no more than two reasons, one was money, and the other was life. As the prince of Vasitas, although he cannot be said to be rich, he is not short of gold, silver and jewelry, so the rest of the reason is that his life is threatened.

Kamitsuki Haoqing had the Shadow deliver the letter to Vasitas's bedside in the middle of the night, and the purpose was to tell him, "Aren't you afraid of dying, but I can deliver the letter to your bedside while you are asleep without being noticed, which means that I can easily take your life while you are asleep." The rest is nothing more than that you have already understood the inside story of the rebellion, and soon the Tianyang Kingdom will definitely settle this general account, you don't have to think about ventilating the news, your every move is under surveillance, you can wake up early and atone for your sins as soon as possible, and then give an ultimatum that you must open the city gate and surrender early tomorrow morning.

At the same time, while Shenyue Haoqing asked Mo Xiao to pay close attention to the movements of Qi Guo, he also asked Mo Xiao to send a letter to the palace, of course, it was not as easy as Vaxi Guo to send it to the pillow, but he just shot an arrow at the place where the emperor happened to pass. However, there was nothing on the letter.

However, what Shenyue Haoqing didn't expect was that the other party would be so fast, and after doing it under his nose, he could disappear so quickly, leaving no trace.

In the next two days, Shenyue Haoqing temporarily stayed in the Vasi Kingdom to deal with some remaining matters, dismissed some of the soldiers, leaving only 30,000 soldiers, and sent someone to report the situation of the Vasi Kingdom to the emperor, and asked him to issue an order to canonize Vashi Daka as the new king of the Vasi Kingdom.

After that, he set off back to Tianyang City, and encountered three assassinations on the way, but they were all killed, and the assassin committed suicide by poisoning himself before being captured alive as always, Shenyue Haoqing knew who sent it, but because the time was not yet ripe, everything could only be forbeared. From the time Shenyue Haoxuan entered the Vaxi Kingdom until he returned to the city, he rarely spoke again, but the corners of his mouth were still accustomed to maintaining that trace of smile. The soldiers all said that he was ashamed of what he had done before, and their thinking only showed that they did not know the second prince of the Tianyang Kingdom.

Shenyue Haoqing put down the rebellion without much effort, and the news had spread throughout Tianyang when they were still on their way back to the capital, so when they returned to the city, the people welcomed them, and the emperor sent someone to welcome them into the palace, which can be described as infinitely beautiful.

In the court, the Shenyue Cangting must be proud of its son, how many people can win the war without spending troops in the world? Therefore, he couldn't help but laugh out loud when he didn't smile in front of the hundred officials.

Shenyue Haoxuan took the initiative to stand up as if he was encouraged, "Father, this expedition is all about the courage and resourcefulness of the fourth brother, and he was injured for this, and this prince in my Tianyang country is the blessing of the people!" ”

"Oh? Haoqing, are you hurt? Why haven't you heard about it? Shenyue Cangting looked at him worriedly, but he didn't notice anything wrong.

"Erchen is fine, it's just a little injury, it's fine." Shenyue Haoqing nodded.

"Father, don't listen to the fourth brother being so modest, he can be regarded as a god by the people of the whole Vaxi country!" Shenyue Haoxuan's words are clearly alluding to Shenyue Haoqing's high master.

"The fourth brother has made meritorious contributions to the war, and the people of Vasi have been spared the suffering of the war, so they will naturally thank the fourth brother. But the fourth brother is going to represent the Tianyang Kingdom and the Emperor of the Father, and the people of the Vaxi Kingdom will naturally love the Emperor even more. Shenyue Haotian heard the meaning of his words, so he took it unhurriedly.

Of course, Shenyue Haoqing will not be unclear about the subtext, and he also follows Shenyue Haotian's statement at the moment, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, the new king of Vaxi Kingdom specially asked his sons to report to their father before returning to Beijing, saying that Vaxi Kingdom is willing to submit to Tianyang Kingdom forever and respect his father as his father." ”

Shenyue Cangting repeatedly praised Shenyue Haoqing for his proper handling, and by the way, he also praised Shenyue Haoxuan for his first expedition. After that, the two of them were summoned to the imperial study separately for another commendation.

"Lord Wang, it's time to take the medicine." In the palace of Qingning Palace, a man in a eunuch uniform knelt in front of a man in a purple robe with medicine. Xiao Wuzi is an internal official who grew up with Shenyue Haoqing, because Shenyue Haoqing doesn't like women in the palace, Xiao Wuzi was allowed to take him out of the palace.

At this time, Shenyue Haoqing was still wearing the mask, he took off his coat, revealing his strong chest, and unwrapped the bandage, but there was a striking scar on his white woman-like chest, extending from the collarbone to the ribs.

"Lord Wang, your wound is not shallow, remember not to pull it, it will be troublesome if the wound is cracked again." Xiao Wuzi looked at the blood stains on the bandage, shook his head and sighed that his prince didn't care about his body.

Shenyue Haoqing didn't reply to him, and at this time he was thinking about some other things in his mind. This time, the rebellion of the Vasi Kingdom seems to have been quelled too easily, and it always feels that there is a deeper conspiracy behind it, and the reaction of the Qi State before and after is always unclear.

"Master!" At this moment, a man rushed in from outside.

"What's so flustered?" Shenyue Haoqing raised his head and looked over. At this time, a young man wearing a black brocade robe with a vermilion pattern was looking at him anxiously, if Li Anyue was there, he would have sprayed him with a mouthful of old blood, because the young man in front of him did not recognize people, it was Shen Yue's scholar, Qinghong.

"Master, Miss Li is gone!" Qinghong didn't dare to look at him, and said with a bitter face.

"What do you say? How did I tell you before I went out? As soon as Shenyue Haoqing heard this, he shook off the little five sons who had given him medicine, and after calling him out, he scolded Qinghong who was kneeling on the ground.

"The master asked me to inform Miss Li that the master had something to do and left Beijing, Qinghong thought that it would be okay to go later, but then when Qinghong went, Miss Li's house was no longer there......" The more Qinghong said, the more unconfident she became, letting the master know that she was going to a snowy mountain to bring back the frozen wine because she lost a bet with others, and if she delayed it for a few days, she would definitely bury herself in the snow.

Shenyue Haoqing listened for a long time and didn't speak, Qinghong knew that the master was holding back his anger, so he didn't dare to make any sound, if the master's fire was lit at this time, the consequences would not be a joke.

Sure enough, Shenyue Haoqing's tone became cold and emotionless. "Go out and get your own punishment."

"Yes, Qinghong knows it's wrong!" Qinghong smiled bitterly and hurriedly ran out thankfully.

As soon as the door closes, you can only hear "Bang!" "A bang. It turned out that Shenyue Haoqing threw the mask on the table, and the candlelight reflected on his face, not the charred flesh or the scars on his face as outsiders say, but instead of a smooth and delicate face like a woman, a face that was as bewitching as a woman like Shen Yue, or more so, it turned out that Shenyue Haoqing was Shen Yue. At this time, the pair of eyebrows are now frowning together, and the narrow eyes are also implied with anxiety, and the red lips are no longer slightly upturned.
