Chapter Ninety-Five: Deliberation
In the Chengguang Palace, Xi Ze looked at Qi Ye, Wang Shouxing and Yu Nian who came in a hurry, frowned and said: "Mu Chengjiang detained Xia Xiang in Cangzhou for very far-fetched reasons, and only let Ye Yongshun and the others come back, this Ye Yongshun doesn't know how to do it, he really left Xia Xiang and brought the others back!" ”
When the three of them heard this, they were all shocked.
The great general Yu Nian immediately asked, "How could General Ye be like this?" Xia Xiang went with him, of course he should come back together, why did he leave Xia Xiang and run back by himself? Haven't you thought about Xia Xiang's situation? ”
At the mention of this, Xi Ze was even more angry: "Although Ye Yongshun and Xia Xiang have never had any friendship, but Xia Xiang's official position is above him, it stands to reason that his actions should all be under Xia Xiang's orders, Xia Xiang didn't let him come back, how can he take others to act privately?" What's more, in this peace talks, Xia Xiang was originally the envoy of the peace talks, leading the overall situation, Ye Yongshun should listen to Xia Xiang more, but I really don't know what he means by his move? If I leave my prime minister in Cangzhou alone, if there is any mistake, isn't he afraid that he will wait until he returns to the imperial capital, and I will ask him for a teacher? ”
"The emperor is angry!" Wang Shouxing hurriedly said, "Could it be that General Ye and Xia Xiang had some misunderstanding in Cangzhou?" ”
"Any misunderstanding should focus on the overall situation!" Xi Ze was still angry, "What does it mean to leave my prime minister alone in Cangzhou?" Don't I need my left phase anymore? The progress of this peace talks is very successful, Xia Xiang is the first to take the lead, I am still waiting for him to come back, reward him well, now it's okay, I don't know if I can come back, can my prime minister be arbitrarily detained and disposed of? ”
"The emperor is angry!" Yu Nian guessed, "Could it be that Mu Chengjiang deliberately sent General Ye out of Cangzhou?" This Mu Chengjiang detained Xia Xiang, it was really too much! What is the purpose? Did he explain the reason to the emperor in the excerpt? ”
Speaking of Mu Chengjiang, Xi Ze's anger was even more uncontrollable: "Reason? He told me that he wanted to stay in Xia Xiang's house for a few more days to discuss the government, what was the reason? Xia Xiang has been in Cangzhou for so long, he can't discuss with Xia Xiang, and now Xia Xiang's matter is finished. If you want to stay there to discuss the government, how long will it last? Doesn't my Imperial Capital Hub need Xia Xiang to come back to do business?! He is obviously using Xia Xiang to blackmail me, so arrogant, how can I tolerate it?! Do you think Cangzhou is too far away from the imperial capital? I can't reach the whip, he Mu Chengjiang is the soil emperor of Cangzhou, even I have to look at his face to act?! ”
Seeing this, the three people below were all shocked, and said in unison: "The emperor is angry!" ”
On the side, he was already angry to the extreme. Holding back his anger, he said to Xi Ze: "Your Majesty, Mu Chengjiang's idea is nothing more than to send his son Mu Xuesong to the imperial capital to take up an important position, and his daughter is still in the emperor's harem, it shouldn't be anything to Xia Xiang, Xia Xiang shouldn't be in danger of life!" The emperor is angry! ”
But Xi Ze was still angry: "Who can guarantee this? There is no more me in Mu Chengjiang's eyes, if he can stay, then he can also kill! Is the imperial capital the center of the country, a place where his son can enter if he wants? It is not enough for him to think that Cangzhou is his territory, and he also hopes that my imperial capital is also his territory, and it will be up to him Mu Chengjiang to have the final say in the future? Is it my Great Jin that will also be decided by him Mu Chengjiang in the future! ”
Xi Ze was so furious that the three people below were terrified.
Yu Nian quickly turned his mind. said: "Your Majesty, no matter how bold Mu Chengjiang is, he will not covet the imperial power, he only has 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, what can he do?" The minister thought that Mu Chengjiang just saw the success of the peace talks with Xiao Guo and wanted to take the opportunity to reap some benefits! Right now, we have just made a peace alliance with Xiao Guo, Cangzhou is really not suitable for chaos, why don't we send someone to Cangzhou to rescue Xia Xiang! ”
There is some truth to this. But at the thought of continuing to endure Mu Chengjiang, Xi Ze was annoyed, one Fu Jingchuan was enough for him to endure, and now there is another Mu Chengjiang. Xi Ze was really angry in his heart, and asked, "What is General Yu's good way to save Xia Xiang?" ”
Yu Nian pondered the words and replied cautiously: "The matter has come to this point, if the emperor does not make some concessions, I am afraid that things will only stalemate!" Since Mu Chengjiang wants his son Mu Xuesong to come to the imperial capital, it is better to let him come. It doesn't have to be a major position in Dijing to transfer him to Dijing, and marriage can also solve this problem? ”
Marriage? Xi Ze carefully recalled these two words, and things seemed to have a glimmer of light, but he was still worried: "But my princess is still in infancy, how to get married?" ”
"If your daughter can't do it, then use your sister!" Yu Nian said calmly, "Among the several princesses of the former emperor, isn't Princess Kang Le unmarried?" Although the age is slightly older, it is enough to match Mu Xuesong! ”
Xi Ze then remembered that he still had such a sister, as if he was indeed not married, and it was available now, Xi Ze carefully calculated the current situation, and said: "Marriage is indeed feasible, but ...... Mu Chengjiang's chief general, Zhong Zhentong, is already in an important position in the imperial capital, and I don't want Mu Xuesong to have great power in the imperial capital again! ”
"It's just stopgap!" Yu Nian explained, "As long as Mu Xuesong is transferred to the imperial capital, then how you want to control him is naturally all up to the holy will!" The emperor can send a reliable person to take a certain number of people to Cangzhou quietly, first go to Mu Xuesong to announce the will to give marriage, and control Mu Xuesong in disguise, and then force Mu Chengjiang to release him, and then he has to release Xia Xiang! ”
Hearing this, Xi Ze nodded, and said, "This matter is dangerous, how can Mu Chengjiang be so light-hearted?" ”
At this time, Wang Shouxing said to Xi Ze: "Then the emperor can give a decree to the person who goes to rescue, this person is better to be a general, the emperor can give him the sword above, if Mu Chengjiang does not obey the order, then he will be killed on the spot!" ”
"Never!" Yu Nian hurriedly said, "Cangzhou has just been pacified, if Mu Chengjiang is killed, Cangzhou will be in chaos!" The emperor thinks twice! ”
Wang Shouxing frowned and replied: "This is just to scare Mu Chengjiang, not really to kill him!" Killing intent, that is also a last resort! ”
Xi Ze listened quietly, thought carefully, to be honest, Xi Ze did have a killing intent towards Mu Cheng Jiang, but right now, there is no complete plan, lightly move Mu Cheng Jiang, Cangzhou will be chaotic, Cangzhou will be chaotic, and the foundation of the Great Jin Dynasty will be unstable, so he must endure it, after several considerations, Xi Ze said in a deep voice: "What the two Aiqing said is reasonable!" It's okay to scare Mu Chengjiang, the key is to use Mu Xuesong as a threat to force Mu Chengjiang to release him! It's just that...... Who do you think is more suitable for the people who went to Cangzhou to rescue? (To be continued.) )
