The emperor of Qingguo finally felt that this matter could no longer be hidden, and now the big gift began to be prepared, and the marriage palace bamboo written on the document between the two countries was not the same person. At the beginning, he agreed to this marriage, but he wanted to give the child a little support, but now, the Northern Qi Kingdom still strongly demanded that it was the eighth princess who wanted to marry, and it was Qixin.

At this moment, he really ran out of ideas.

"Your Majesty, General Duan is here."

"Let him in."

"Yes."

The emperor still decided to tell General Duan about this matter. After all, in this matter, General Duan is not an outsider.

"Weichen see the emperor."

"General Duan, hurry up."

It was already evening, and General Duan had already finished his inspection from the barracks and was ready to return to Duan's mansion. But on the way back, he suddenly received a message from the emperor, thinking that maybe the emperor had something to tell him about the wedding. But now that the emperor calls him General Duan, it seems that it is not as simple as a trivial matter.

"I don't know why the emperor came to find Weichen?"

The emperor sighed, as if to tell a long story.

"Look at this."

The emperor handed the letter sent by the Northern Qi Kingdom to General Duan, and General Duan didn't have any problem looking at it at first, but when he saw the princess's title,

"Eighth Princess, Princess Qixin?"

General Duan raised his head and looked at the emperor with puzzled eyes. The emperor did not respond directly, but nodded, and gave General Duan the remaining letters of state and all the correspondence between the two countries.

General Duan read them one by one, and the more he looked at them, the more he felt that things were strange.

"Your Majesty, this, this is."

"From the very beginning, the national letter of Northern Qi was written about the eight princesses Qixin, but the national letter I sent to them was the seventh princess Qishui. The response of the Northern Qi State did not express any objection, but the letters of state and the letters exchanged between the two governments all indicated that they were the eighth princess. I also asked someone to see if there was a mistake on the side of the Northern Qi Kingdom, but the response I got was that they were instructed to marry the eighth princess. Now the wedding is already getting ready. The Northern Qi side was also proceeding in an orderly manner, but they insisted on not changing. Duan Yu, I really don't know what to do. ”

After the emperor finished speaking, he stroked his forehead and leaned on the table.

Truly. Paperwork is a problem. But

"Your Majesty, why didn't you say that the Northern Qi Kingdom had asked to marry the eighth princess from the beginning? but agreed to the marriage, and changed people? ”

General Duan was upright and immediately grasped the crux of the problem. The emperor was not annoyed with him. After a long exhalation, he began to tell the story of more than ten years ago.

"At that time, I was still the prince of Yongchang......"

The emperor told the story of his years in detail, starting from the hotel at the junction of the Northern Qi Kingdom and the Qing Kingdom, until he escaped after being ambushed in the border city of the Northern Qi Kingdom, and then General Duan knew about the later events.

"At that time, I fled for my own safety, and although I was pursued later, I was not much injured except for an accident with Qi Xin. At that time, the third brother suddenly appeared and asked those people to change the direction of pursuit. Later, our people inquired that Gong Zhu and they were rounded up in a bush and brought back to the Northern Qi Palace. And then everything else is known. The Northern Qi Kingdom suddenly appeared and a little prince inherited the throne. At that time, I was also unable to protect myself, and when I looked back, my power in Qingguo had been uprooted, and I could no longer inquire about any news. ”

General Duan knew that although the emperor was born as a businessman, he was also a person who valued love and righteousness, and he must have felt deep self-reproach for so many years.

"For so many years, I've been trying to get in touch with that kid. But I heard that the government of the Northern Qi Dynasty has always been controlled by the Empress Dowager Yanlan, in this case, maybe the Northern Qi Dynasty has been imprisoned. So. The child was never contacted. After receiving the letter of state this time, I agreed to it, thinking that maybe the child was asking for help, or maybe this was the only way to reach that child. But. Now it's like this. ”

After listening to what the emperor said, General Duan probably knew what was going on in his heart.

If the marriage continues, it is to marry the seventh princess, I am afraid that the Northern Qi will make a fuss about the paperwork at that time, and if this matter is arranged by the Empress Dowager Yanlan, I am afraid that it will be a trap. But. After all, the marriage has begun to be prepared and announced to the world, so it is not good to stop it at will, and it will have an impact on Qingguo, the seventh princess and the eighth princess.

Both fell silent, indeed, it was not a simple matter.

The people of Qingguo definitely didn't expect that there would be such a thing when they were preparing to celebrate the whole country. Beneath their happiness lies such a big element of uncertainty.

The Northern Qi Kingdom is still so peaceful, but the ministers who have just fallen from the dynasty have become uneasy.

"Lord Zheng, you said, is what the emperor said true? Did the emperor really raise elite soldiers privately, and now he is sent to the north? ”

"Who can say that?"

"If you want me to see, this may be something wrong with the emperor. The affairs of the court have always been the final say of the Queen Mother, when he is so powerful, but he is just a child who has been locked up in a small black room. ”

"Lord Yan can't talk nonsense, that's the emperor."

“……”

The ministers discussed with each other and left, and the emperor's expression was indeed strange.

If Northern Qi just said that he raised soldiers and sent soldiers, maybe this matter would really not cause discussion among the ministers, and everyone would directly think that the emperor was crazy. But before the emperor asked them to leave, he told them that there would be a time for good news. Regarding this point, some ministers felt that the emperor was very crazy and did not plan to take it to heart, while some ministers were impressed by the confident eyes and faces of Northern Qi, and felt that the emperor might really succeed.

But there was one person who didn't participate in the discussion, and you were killed by memorizing everything in your head. That is the current first assistant, one of the three first assistants who were personally promoted by the Queen Mother. When the ministers walked towards the palace gate, this Shosuke turned back and walked towards the inner palace.

"Where are you going? Could it be that you want to follow me all the way to Zhengyang Palace? ”

Beiqi's voice suddenly came from behind him, and Jin Shoufu was suddenly frightened, and immediately turned around and knelt down,

"Weichen see the emperor."

Beiqi didn't often stand in the sun like this, so he felt very uncomfortable, so even though he was standing in the shadow under the eaves, he raised his hand to block the sunlight from shining on his face.

Beiqi looked impatiently at Jin Shoufu who was kneeling on the ground.

"I know that Lord Jin is going to report today's political affairs to the Queen Mother. Chang Gui's father-in-law asked me to help convey a word to Lord Jin, Lord Jin doesn't have to go today, the Queen Mother has other important matters. ”

"This ......"

Lord Jin hesitated, always feeling that the emperor's words were not credible. Originally, the emperor was weird today, and now he said that he would help Chang Gui's father-in-law, and he himself was on the side that thought the emperor was crazy.

"Oh, I know, Lord Jin doesn't think my words can be trusted, do you? When Master Jin thinks like this, it really makes me embarrassed. ”

Beiqi smiled again, such a smile was even more dazzling and unfathomable in the sun. (To be continued.) )
