Chapter 226: The Situation
In the palace, Jin Shuichen looked at Yeluqi, who was drinking tea tepidly in front of him, and held back his mood, he still came to him at this hour, thinking that he had something to say to him. Jin Shuichen will never take Yelu Qi lightly, and they all say that the people of Beiyan are not good at scheming, but it does not include the one in front of him.
Jin Shuichen will always remember that in that competition, when everyone couldn't think of the answer, this Yeluqi actually thought of it, and ...... is exactly the same as what he thinks, since then, Jin Shuichen has regarded Yeluqi as a fierce rival.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not curious, why did I take the liberty to come to His Highness's palace on this big night?" Yeluqi put down the teacup, turned the wrench in his hand again and again, and asked casually.
"If there is anything, Brother Yelu will naturally tell me, so what makes the difference if I ask or not." Shui Chen replied unhurriedly.
Xiao Xizi, who was standing next to him, sighed in his heart, these two can be more calm than the other, this is about to be a child, according to this situation, is it necessary to talk until dawn? His Royal Highness has been very tired for several days, and he has just met so many people, and he doesn't know how much it has spent, and he should be resting at this moment.
Yeluqi saw Jin Shuichen like this, his thoughts were chaotic, just since he entered his palace gate, he was already inferior, why bother to compare with him in these aspects, the situation is like this, there is nothing to do.
"Yes, Your Highness is right, we came to the capital this time, and took the initiative to mention the matter of harmony and hunting, with the wisdom of the prince, I think we already know, we have a request for people in the north."
"Brother Yelu is serious, the marriage between the two countries is beneficial to both countries, what can I say if I ask for something." Jin Shuichen continued to play dumb riddles. Since there is a showdown, the other party has to show some sincerity.
"It's been a few days since I came to the capital, hasn't the news from the prince's side arrived yet?"
Yeluqi knew that all countries would arrange some eyeliner in other countries. It's not a secret, for example, he is in the north, and there are also people in Yonghe, only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one plan in advance.
"I am aware that there may have been some changes in your country. But the specific thing is still unknown, Brother Yelu, don't be too troublesome, you can also tell me, Your Highness listens. ”
Although Jin Shuichen was really tired at the moment, he was very excited, because Yeluqi took the initiative to come to him today, indicating that the other party could no longer hold on. This is an endurance race, and whoever bows his head first loses. Since it was Yeluqi who bowed his head first, he took the initiative.
"There's nothing that can't be said, don't hide it from Your Highness, in the past two years, my country in Beiyan has not been peaceful, and the imperial power in Beiyan is not like Yonghe, all of which are concentrated in the hands of the emperor. Moreover, heavy troops are in hand. ”
"I have heard of this, it is said that these five princes are located around the north of the city, among them. The Eagle King who came with you is one of them. Jin Shuichen replied.
"That's right, Uncle Eagle King grew up with my father since he was a child, and he has a deep relationship, so he naturally supports his father's side. However, on the western side of the Northern Kingdom, it belonged to the King of the Western Desert. Over the years, the desire of the king of the Western Desert to compete for the throne has become more and more obvious, and he has even reached the point of openly bribing other kings, gradually forming an alliance, and forming a trend comparable to his father. ”
Jin Shuichen knew that the king of the Western Desert was strong, but he didn't expect it to have developed to such a point. As far as Jin Shuichen knew, all the tribes in the Western Desert were nomadic for a living, and the clansmen were even more brave and good at fighting, if they joined forces to attack the royal capital, then it was really difficult to say whether the army of the royal capital could hold up.
"The wolf's ambitions, Brother Yelu don't have to worry too much, I think there are still other princes who will support King Yelu."
Jin Shuichen finally understood the real purpose of their coming this time, they were afraid that if Yonghe took the opportunity to send troops to attack during the civil strife in Beiyan, then the internal and external troubles in Beiyan would be imminent. Yelu Qi must have seen through such a situation, but it is difficult to say whether the king of the Western Desert will manage it.
Therefore, this time they came to the capital in a hurry, one is to seek relatives, in order to obtain an alliance between the two countries, in case of civil strife in the north, at least Yonghe will consider not taking advantage of the danger.
Secondly, the hunting of Mengshan is also to form a deterrent to the King of the Western Desert, after all, if they marry Yonghe, then if the King of the Western Desert acts rashly, he must also consider whether Yonghe will help.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said lightly, no matter what the strength of the two sides is, once the war is sent, it is the common people who will suffer in the end, can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bear to see these people suffer?!"
Yeluqi was not angry, but his voice was inevitably a little low, and he still felt congested about Jin Shuichen's attitude of not caring about himself.
"Brother Yelu, I naturally don't want to see innocent people harmed, but I can't stop people's ambitions, since the King of the Western Desert has coveted the throne, how can I control him and let him not provoke a war."
Speaking of which, this is still the incompetence of the king of the north, allowing such people to grow and grow stronger, and finally oppose themselves. If the people of the north want to resign, they should first resent the ambitious king of the Western Desert, and then their king.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, in such a situation, it is normal for you to say this, after all, this war cannot burn your Yonghe land. However, people who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries, isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince curious, why am I still telling you this at such a time? ”
Indeed, if Yeluqi told the truth, then how could Yonghe marry the princess, is this obviously for the princess to suffer?
"I'm curious, what are you up to?"
"Don't hide it from Your Highness, the reason why I tell the truth today is because this King of the Western Desert and your King Jian, Jin Rong, have a good relationship, if it weren't for this relationship, he wouldn't be so arrogant."
These words really shocked Jin Shuichen, what kind of person is King Jian Jin Rong, that is a ruthless character who stares at the throne every day, and even dares to leave his biological mother in the capital. If you add the support of Beiyan, then it is not impossible to raise troops to rebel. Jin Shuichen thought of the civil strife that Fang Yage had just talked about today, and his heart was even more uneasy.
"His Royal Highness also knows that this fiefdom of King Jian is close to our north, if he fights with the king of the Western Desert north and south, then, our royal family is indeed dangerous, but! Similarly, once the King of the Western Desert succeeds in plotting to usurp the throne, guess he, will he help King Jian attack the capital? ”
If the king of Yonghe was in power and the country was strong, then Yeluqi would never tell Jin Shuichen that his country was restless, which was tantamount to inviting others to take the opportunity to attack. However, Yonghe's country is now scattered and independent, and the emperor is weak, which gives Beiyan a chance.
"Brother Yelu doesn't need to be alarmist, I believe that you don't see a King Jane yet."
In fact, Jin Shuichen has some belief in Yeluqi's words, but he can't leak his cowardice now, otherwise he will let people lead him by the nose. (To be continued.) )
