Chapter 311 Surprised
After everyone nodded in approval, Prime Minister Jian said: "The prince's idea at that time was to marry Princess Luoyang to Jingyang Kingdom to ease the conflict, but there is no prince in Jingyang Kingdom, and marrying Princess Luoyang to the eldest grandson of the Khan is wrong." So, the prince married Princess Luoyang to Yelu Zi, the young patriarch of the largest Yelu tribe in Jingyang Kingdom. ”
Now the ministers were surprised, and some people subconsciously said: "However, Princess Luoyang and King Qin have not ......"
Chen Shangshu coughed, pressed his hand, and said, "Everyone, please listen to Prime Minister Jian first." ”
After calming down, Prime Minister Jian continued: "The prince has discussed with Chen Shangshu of the Ministry of War, since war is inevitable, then destroy the interior of Jingyang Kingdom first. The adult prince of the Iron Cavalry royal family is dead, and the Yelu Ministry has ambitions to marry the princess of Luoyang to the Yelu tribe, saying that the prince will fully support the Yelu tribe as a khan, and as a result, the Jingyang Kingdom will first have civil strife, and I Dahua will recuperate for some time, and then send troops to destroy the Jingyang Kingdom. This is also because the crown prince did not take advantage of the victory to attack Jingyang Kingdom in Lingyun Pass, but only captured more than 10,000 prisoners. The exchange of these captives for money is also to consume the money and food of Jingyang Kingdom and accelerate the civil strife of the Iron Cavalry. With the bravery of the crown prince, even if we send troops to attack Jingyang Kingdom now, the chances of victory are quite large, but the prince feels that even if the war is won, first, it will consume a lot of silver taels from Dahua; It is inevitable for the prince to win by the prince, but the prince feels that there are too many people to kill, and it hurts the heavens and the peace, but if he doesn't kill the soldiers of Jingyang State, every time it is like the battle of Lingyun Pass, the prince will fight a game to catch tens of thousands of prisoners back, and then capture millions of prisoners, it is really difficult to arrange. ”
The ministers laughed, and Mao Shangshu said: "The prince is thoughtful, after the civil turmoil in Jingyang and the killing of the adult in his prime, let's go and clean up the mess." At that time, all that remained in Jingyang Kingdom was a group of women and children, and it was easy to educate! ”
Prime Minister Jian sighed and said: "As far as the old man knows, Princess Luoyang hates King Qin very much, cough, cough, the matter of Xu's study, it must be that King Qin drugged Princess Luoyang." Princess Luoyang met the old man, Zhao Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials and Chen Shangshu of the Ministry of War that day. Princess Luoyang said at the time that since she and King Qin's raw rice had already been cooked, it was pointless to mention who was right and who was wrong. killed the king of Qin, and the princess of Luoyang also became a widow. Princess Luoyang wants to make mistakes and achieve good things with King Qin, so forget it. But she was ashamed to talk about this matter, so she asked the old man to write a letter to the prince and ask the prince to change his plan. The old man wrote a letter to the prince and sent it to Lingyun Pass, asking the prince if he had given Princess Luoyang's gold leaf Geng post to the Yelu family. When the prince heard that Princess Luoyang and King Qin were doing something wrong, he had no choice but to announce to the whole world that he had concealed the identity of the prince for many years, lest Princess Luoyang and King Qin start a mutiny first. Because, the identity of the crown prince is not even known to Princess Luoyang. The emperor only told the old man and the three adults, Zhao and Chen, that I and the other three would vigorously support the crown prince in the court. ”
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu joked half-truthfully: "Prime Minister Jian, everyone is an official in the same dynasty, such a big event, it should be hinted at one or two, lest we do something foolish." ”
Zhao Shangshu said: "The prince has a clear distinction between public and private, and he will not blame everyone for contradicting him in the court." How merciful the prince is, the old man doesn't say it, everyone knows it! Like Hu Junnas, he has let him go a few times, and he has to ...... Right, you don't have to worry about this. I still listen to Prime Minister Jian finish talking about important things. ”
Prime Minister Jian made a sad look and said sadly: "When Princess Luoyang heard about this, she was ashamed to see people, and she killed herself in the middle of the night yesterday!" ”
Many ministers stood up in astonishment.
Chen Shangshu pressed his hand and said loudly: "Yesterday, a palace maid saw Princess Luoyang raising a sword to chase and kill King Qin, and afterwards, King Qin quickly fled from Jinling. The prince is still on his way back to Jinling, and we people have to worry about the emperor and the prince. The old man discussed with Prime Minister Jian and Lord Zhao, and decided to announce that King Qin had a quarrel with Princess Luoyang, and after that, King Qin killed Princess Luoyang by mistake and escaped! ”
The ministers felt that only in this way could they give an account to the Yelu tribe of the iron horse, and at the same time not hurt the face of the royal family.
In the absence of the crown prince, led by Prime Minister Jian, the ministers were approved by the ministers, and then the criminal department issued a sea capture document to arrest Qin Wangxu.
On the afternoon of April 14, the murder of Princess Luoyang by King Qin was plastered all over the streets and alleys of Jinling, and the whole Jinling was boiling.
Xu Zhilan received a detailed letter from Prime Minister Jian on April 15, and his head was big for a while. Inadvertently, there are so many people around me who share blessings and misfortunes! He didn't know if he should be happy or sad? Do you really want to rebel and seize the world of Dahua?
Before the reincarnation of the Netherworld, Xu Zhilan really wanted to be reincarnated as a king, but now he doesn't want to, he feels that living a dull life with his beloved is the happiest thing.
In any case, the top priority at the moment is to maintain the stability of the Dahua Dynasty and avoid war, so that the people will not suffer the scourge of war.
Thinking of Princess Luoyang, Xu Zhilan felt guilty, he knew that it was he who didn't take good care of her gold leaf Geng sticker, which caused Princess Luoyang to kill herself like this in the era of flowers and jade. Recalling the shyness of Princess Luoyang before leaving, Xu Zhilan affirmed that Xu Zhiyuan used extraordinary means to possess Princess Luoyang's body, in this era when chastity is better than life, although Xu Zhilan is resistant in his heart, he can also understand.
At this moment, Xu Zhilan regretted that he didn't kill Yelu Jiu when he was in Lingyun Pass!
Xiang'er and Chu Yan saw that Xu Zhilan was preoccupied and wanted to ask the reason, but Xu Zhilan told them about the death of Princess Luoyang.
"What now? The prince's unintentional mistake forced the emperor's most optimistic princess Luoyang to death, and forced the king of Qin to die, I don't know if the emperor will ......" Xiang'er asked in a panic.
Xu Zhilan was afraid that Chu Yanqing and Xiang'er would be worried, so he took the hands of the two wives and said, "So far, even if this king does not force Princess Luoyang to die and King Qin to die, will it be rare that the emperor will let this king go?" ”
"Lord Wang......" paused, and Chu Yan stared at Xu Zhilan's eyes and said the second half of the sentence: "Plan to seize Dahua's country?" ”
Shaking his head, Xu Zhilan glanced at Xiang'er and Chu Yan affectionately, and said seriously: "This king has no intention of the country, he just wants to stay with Concubine Chu and Concubine Xiang peacefully for the rest of his life!" ”
There are some things that don't need to be hidden now, and they can't be hidden for a few days, so Xu Zhilan ordered someone to invite Guo Gonggong and General Song.
Gonggong Guo was now very afraid that Xu Zhilan would suddenly kill him, so he bowed down to Xu Zhilan from a distance, and asked in a respectful tone: "I don't know what the King of Yangtao summoned him, what are his orders?" ”
