Chapter 257: The Two Countries Forge a Secret Alliance
For Ye Shucheng's suspicion, the blow to the emperor is undoubtedly huge.
Among his many sons, in addition to the crown prince, his favorite is Ye Shucheng.
Ye Shucheng has been sweet since he was a child, and he is also more than elegant, he looks like a humble gentleman, not only he likes it, but even the courtiers of the previous dynasty are happy when they look at it.
So he likes the way he looks when he opens his mouth to call his father, likes him to become better and better and never proud, and likes his mother, Zhou Guifei, when she is well-behaved in the face of him.
However, what he had now mastered was really shocking to him, and most importantly, he didn't know if the Zhou Xiang behind them was trustworthy.
The emperor thought in his heart that it should be time to have an open and honest conversation with Fang Xiaoyu. He believed that since the matter was discovered by Fang Xiaoyu first, she must have more information than him. He could understand what Fang Xiaoyu was worried about when he didn't mention to him the suspicion of Ye Shucheng and Zhou Guifei, but now he already knew in his heart, if he talked straight to the point, he should be able to know more things that he hadn't mastered yet.
"In view of such a time-consuming and painstaking arrangement of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is even more difficult to stop it at once. Even if you send a warning letter, it will only startle the snake. Perhaps, sooner or later there will be a war with the Great Zhou between you and me, so the emperor hopes that Emperor Ye can agree to reach an alliance with Dayu, if the Great Zhou Dynasty and Dayu go to war, I hope that Dacheng can send troops to help, on the contrary, if Dacheng and Da Zhou go to war, I Dayu will also send troops to support. You and I are close to each other and support each other, and one day, it will be easy to smash the Great Zhou conspiracy. "Emperor Fengtian finally said the purpose of his secret visit to Dacheng this time, that is, he hoped to form an alliance with Dacheng to fight against the Great Zhou.
"The national strength of the Great Zhou is above that of you and me, if it is unilateral hostility, it will inevitably be powerless, not to mention that the Great Zhou also has several subordinate alliance small countries, if it raises troops to invade, whether it is Dacheng or Dayu. None can be fought alone. Since Emperor Feng has this sincerity, you and I will form an alliance to fight against the enemy country. I hope that Emperor Fengtian will keep his promise, and if one day I will start a war with Da Zhou. Emperor Fengtian was able to send troops to support, and the emperor also believed that since then, Dacheng and Dayu can support each other and rely on each other, and the friendship will last for a hundred years. Emperor Fengtian's words were in the emperor's arms.
The Dayu Dynasty was close to the Northern Yan. If it is hostile, it will also disperse a lot of Fang Jianzhang's troops. At the same time, many small countries near Beiyan often invade the border, if these small countries harass, and Dayu strikes a blow, it is enough to make Fang Jianzhang anxious.
Fortunately, it seems that the emperors of the Dayu Dynasty seem to be the same as him, they are all emperors who do not want to make progress, and they have little ambition to dominate the world, and they just want to guard their own one-third of an acre of land, so that the people in the existing country can live comfortably and steadily.
The emperor had to admit it. Although Emperor Fengtian always has a problem of showing off, sometimes he does things that are not lacking in childishness, and even occasionally he is half angry with him, but at least in the affairs of the family and the country, the two still have a common language.
"You don't have any jokes. Bendi has promised that he will never self-destruct his statement. In this way, Bendi cooperated happily with Ye Huang. Emperor Fengtian stretched out his hand, palm facing the direction of the emperor.
The emperor smiled slightly, and also stretched out his palm, touching the palm of Emperor Fengtian's hand. The two high-fived and swore an oath, and Dacheng and Dayu reached an alliance without anyone knowing.
Not only did the emperor and Emperor Fengtian have no ambition to dominate the world, but the princes of the two dynasties also did not have such ambitions, so. Even everyone present did not expect that this alliance, which supported each other and relied on each other, would really last for hundreds of years, making the friendship between the two countries unbreakable and indestructible.
"The matter has been negotiated, and you and I will set up a note as a guarantee of the friendship between the two countries." The emperor gave Fang Xiaoyu a look. So Fang Xiaoyu went out and asked someone to prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, according to what the two talked about, carefully combed it, and set up two notes, one for the emperor and the Fengtian Emperor, and covered each other's jade seals, and then the two kept it properly as evidence of the alliance.
"Good words, vigorous and powerful, the pen is a dragon and a snake, not like a woman can write words." Emperor Fengtian blurted out praise. Most of the women in this era are husbands and children, and most of the female gentlemen who have been looking for since childhood have taught them some beautiful small characters, and few women have written such a sharp handwriting, but it is like the words written by those generals who have been on the battlefield, and they are full of sharpness.
"Thank you Emperor Fengtian for your praise, but I have been influenced by my father since I was a child, and I love this vigorous brushstroke, so I have been practicing." Fang Xiaoyu smiled calmly.
"Oh? I don't know who his father is. "Emperor Fengtian came to be interested.
"My father, General Fang Jianzhang, Zhenyuan." Fang Xiaoyu didn't hide it, the emperor didn't stop it, these things didn't need to be treated secretly.
"It turned out to be a tiger girl, no wonder she was upright!" Emperor Fengtian praised.
Fang Xiaoyu smiled on the surface, but secretly said in his heart, where did you see that I was upright? How come I never saw that I had this feature?
Fang Xiaoyu also knew that this was just what Emperor Fengtian meant when he said it, but Emperor Fengtian smiled and continued: "My Dayu is close to Beiyan, and there are often small countries harassing the border. This emperor has also heard my Dayu general mention, saying that it is the general of Dacheng's Zhenyuan, the general of Fang, who guards Beiyan, fights bravely and forward, has extraordinary skills, and is skilled in the art of war, and often deters the surrounding small countries, so that they dare not attack. When Bendi heard this, he was fascinated for a long time. ”
"If my father hears Emperor Fengtian's words, I'm afraid he will be unable to close his mouth with laughter." Fang smiled and smiled, and his sweet smile instantly blinded people's eyes.
Lu Yu couldn't help but look stupid, but he came back to his senses in an instant, but sighed that it was a pity that the beauty was married to a wife, otherwise it would be good to marry back and be a prince's concubine.
Ye Xici noticed Lu Yu's obsession, and his eyes narrowed half in an instant, but fortunately, after he woke up, he didn't feel malice or ** from him, and Ye Xici's mood was better.
"Does Emperor Fengtian have any plans in the future?" The Emperor asked.
"Although the emperor secretly came out from everyone, but everyone came, he always had to stay for a few days before leaving, and in the next few days, he would have to trouble Emperor Ye to help the emperor arrange it." Emperor Fengtian thought that everyone had come out, and he was not in a hurry to go back. Anyway, he has already arranged the affairs of the court, as long as there are no accidents, there will be no major problems.
He is very interested in Dacheng, and even if there is a gap in the national strength of the two countries, the gap is not big, but when it comes to customs and customs, there is a big difference.
"Since Emperor Fengtian has this Yaxing, the emperor has to let Emperor Fengtian have fun." The Emperor smiled and nodded. Said: "Xici, in the past few days, you have accompanied Emperor Fengtian and taken Emperor Fengtian to experience the customs and customs of my great inheritance." ”
"Yes, I obey." Ye Xici readily agreed.
Speaking of which. Emperor Ben is here, and there is one more thing he wants to ask Emperor Ye for help. Emperor Fengtian suddenly mentioned with a smile.
"Oh? If Emperor Fengtian has anything to do, you might as well tell me about it. The emperor was stunned for a moment and replied.
"Bendi heard that there is a mysterious force in the rivers and lakes of Dacheng. Called Canglan Sea Pavilion? Emperor Fengtian seemed to be smiling, and it was impossible to see what he was thinking in his expression.
The emperor was slightly stunned, glanced at Fang Xiaoyu quietly, saw Fang Xiaoyu's eyes narrowed slightly, also glanced back at him, and said: "It is true, this emperor has also heard of it." Why, could it be that this Canglan Sea Pavilion offended Emperor Fengtian? ”
"No, Bendi just heard about it. I heard that there are a large number of high-level exercises in the Canglan Sea Pavilion, and this emperor came this time. I also want to ask for a copy and give it to me, the emperor, to practice. Emperor Fengtian's eyes fell on the eighth prince, and continued: "I, the emperor, have loved martial arts since I was a child, and I have traveled alone since I was a child. It's just that recently, his martial arts have encountered a bottleneck, and Emperor Ben has been looking for more advanced exercises for him in the Dayu Dynasty. But nothing was found. It was also the emperor who happened to hear the Taishi mention, saying that there is a great organization in the rivers and lakes of Dacheng, called Canglan Sea Pavilion, and the pavilion master is mysterious. He has never shown his face, but he has a lot of high-level martial arts cheats in his hands, which makes people in the rivers and lakes rush to it. Emperor Ben also asked for a copy if he had the heart, but after all, this Canglan Sea Pavilion was the power of Dacheng, and Emperor Ben thought about it, and he always had to mention it to Emperor Ye. Although the rivers and lakes are big. It is also subject to the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and Emperor Ben thought that perhaps it would be much more convenient to hand over this matter to Emperor Ye than to ask for it. ”
Emperor Fengtian was indeed sincerely seeking the secret book of high-level exercises for the Eighth Emperor, but it was only because the exercises he was practicing now could no longer allow him to go further.
But the Eighth Prince's eyes all fell on Fang Xiaoyu at this time.
He wasn't suspicious because of the matter of the Canglan Sea Pavilion that Emperor Fengtian had just mentioned, but since he heard that Fang Xiaoyu was Fang Jianzhang's daughter, he had always had this expression, and he seemed to be dignified.
He originally thought that Fang Xiaoyu had no martial arts at all, because from the moment she entered this door, Fang Xiaoyu gave people the feeling that she was completely ordinary people, and you couldn't perceive that she had any traces of martial arts practice on her body.
And from Ye Xici and the crown prince, he can clearly feel that they have all practiced martial arts. Even he could feel that Ye Xici's martial arts were still above him, and he had a feeling of being invincible.
However, after hearing that Fang Xiaoyu's identity was Fang Jianzhang's daughter, he didn't believe that as the daughter of Jiangmen, Fang Xiaoyu had never practiced a trace of martial arts.
He began to suspect that as long as Fang Xiaoyu had practiced martial arts, he would not be able to hide the traces of martial arts. The lightness of walking, certain postures on the body, will be imperceptibly affected, and it is simply uncontrollable. Unless you reach the level of returning to the basics, you will be able to control yourself perfectly, so that people can't tell whether you have practiced martial arts or not.
If he didn't know the identity of Fang Xiaoyu, he would only think that Fang Xiaoyu was an ordinary daughter, who had knitted female red piano skills since she was a child, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea, but she had never been involved in martial arts at all.
But after knowing that she was a Jiangmen Tiger Girl, he didn't believe that Fang Xiaoyu would not understand martial arts. Even if you are not proficient, in such an environment, you will always practice some self-defense skills.
He suddenly realized that this Fang Xiaoyu's martial arts had reached the point of returning to the basics? Otherwise, why does it seem to him that the other party has no martial arts foundation at all?
If the other party has really reached the point of returning to the basics, and the Eighth Prince's heart is condensed, then the other party is indeed worthy of his attention. Perhaps the more advanced martial arts cheats, this time to Dacheng, it is not hopeless.
"Emperor Fengtian asked the wrong person about this." The Emperor smiled.
"Oh? Could it be that even Emperor Ye couldn't make Canglan Haige compromise? Emperor Fengtian was a little disappointed.
"That Canglan Pavilion has never done anything against discipline, and the emperor is not good at suppressing people with power. However, Emperor Fengtian should not find the emperor in this matter, but should go to the smiling girl, she may be able to help Emperor Fengtian. The emperor quietly gave Fang Xiaoyu a look.
"Could it be that this General Fang's daughter can command the Canglan Sea Pavilion?" Emperor Fengtian frowned, and glanced at Fang Xiaoyu with some curiosity.
Fang Xiaoyu shook his head with a smile and said, "Emperor Fengtian, don't kill the courtiers, how can the courtiers command the Canglan Sea Pavilion to act." It's just that the courtiers have traded with the Canglan Sea Pavilion a few times before, and the courtiers still have a few things that the Canglan Sea Pavilion needs, if they exchange a set of high-level exercises with them, there should be no problem. ”
"Really?" The Eighth Prince was overjoyed.
He has no interest in the throne, and he doesn't want to do things that are tiring and unflattering, since he was a child, he likes to dance knives and guns, like to run around, and see the customs of different places. When it comes to hobbies, that's about it. After his martial arts practice reached a bottleneck, he didn't make the slightest advance for about a year, and no matter how much land he walked and how many fights he experienced, his martial arts made no progress.
The master said that he had reached the end of the line, and that the exercises were too low-level, which limited his qualifications, and that unless he found a more advanced practice, he would not be able to continue to grow by doing anything.
For his achievements at this stage, he is also a master level on the rivers and lakes, but he always feels that he can be more refined and better, he has a feeling that his body is not full, so he said goodbye to his master and returned to Dayu, just to be able to use his father's hand to find more advanced martial arts cheats suitable for his cultivation. It's a pity that he has never found a better cheat, all the major sects in the rivers and lakes have bans, even if there are better cheats, he will never be lightly spread, even if he is the prince, he is never qualified to force others to hand over the cheats, so the matter has been put on hold.
This time he followed to Dacheng, one is that his father temporarily catches the strong man, and the other is that he heard that Canglan Haige seems to have high-level cheats in his hands, and there are often some tasks released, and if he can complete them, he can reach the cheats, he is also tempted, so he wants to give it a try.
"If I want to find a secret book suitable for the Eighth Prince, I'm afraid that I will ask the Eighth Prince to show off the martial arts he has learned later, so that I can exchange the high-level martial arts cheats that can match the Eighth Prince, otherwise if it is inconsistent with the martial arts attributes that the Eighth Prince practiced before, it will be too troublesome for the Eighth Prince to abolish the martial arts and practice again." Fang said with a smile.
"No problem." How could the Eighth Prince refuse. (To be continued.) )
