Chapter 961: Temptation

Bai Jin looked at King Huai for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"Don't play any tricks." King Huai looked at her and said, "Otherwise, all our agreements will be null and void." ”

Bai Jin looked at the figure in front of her, and faintly had an illusion, as if she had never really controlled him over the years.

What they have between them is just that she helped him stabilize his position in the court step by step with the help of the power of Tianju, and his promise to himself is still just an empty promise.

Although there are reasons why they are not ready, King Huai still gives her a feeling that it is difficult to control.

If they can completely control King Huai in their hands on the condition of untying Princess Huai's poison, it will also be a good thing for them.

She took out a milky white porcelain bottle from her arms, put it on the table, and said, "If you take this medicine for three days, the princess's poison can be cured." ”

After speaking, she poured out a brown pill from another porcelain bottle and said, "This poison pill, please take it from His Royal Highness King Huai." ”

King Huai took the poison pill from her hand and swallowed it without hesitation.

Bai Jin watched him take the pill before he said, "You used to always say that the time has not come, when is the time coming?" ”

King Huai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's ...... now."

Bai Jin's face showed joy, but she didn't notice the trace of sarcasm in King Huai's eyes when he looked at her.

……

Since King Duanwang of Kang failed to rebel and was imprisoned in the palace, and the Tang family was beheaded, there has been no major turmoil in the court.

However, Chen Guo's luck does not seem to be good, he has just calmed down his internal worries, but external troubles have come one after another.

The enemy country unified the Western Regions, the strength increased greatly, and the most reliable ally became the in-laws of the enemy country in a blink of an eye, Tang Ning felt that Emperor Chen should not be in a very good mood during this time, so he entered the palace on the second day after returning to Beijing, lest he use the topic to play again and spread his resentment on himself......

In the dormitory, Emperor Chen leaned on the head of the bed, glanced at Tang Ning coldly, and said, "You still know how to come back......

Tang Ning stood with his hands over, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and said: "The minister is worried about His Majesty's health, so he returned to Beijing ahead of schedule......

Emperor Chen waved his hand and asked, "Where have you been for more than a year, even I can't find your traces." ”

Tang Ning said honestly: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister went to Qiandi." ”

"Qiandi?" Emperor Chen frowned and asked, "What are you doing in Qiandi?" ”

Tang Ning said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, two years ago, the minister met a Taoist priest from Youfang, the Taoist priest said, the minister's life and the Beijing division are in conflict, if you want to spread the leaves, you need to go to the southwest to find an opportunity, it just so happened that the minister went to Qiandi once, saw that the place is beautiful, the scenery is pleasant, so he took the ladies to live in Qiandi for a while......"

"Stayed for a while?" Chen Huang snorted coldly, "You've been living for almost two years, have you found that opportunity?" ”

Tang Ning showed a smile on his face and said, "That Taoist priest is really a god, don't hide it from Your Majesty, the minister now has a pair of children under his knees......"

When Emperor Chen heard this, his expression was stunned, and he asked, "Do you have a child?" ”

Tang Ning nodded and said, "In the past few years, the minister has been deeply troubled by this matter, and now he finally has his wish. ”

There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. It is a big deal to spread branches and leaves, and Emperor Chen can't blame him too much for this matter.

However, as long as he thought that Xiao Wan had unified the Western Regions in the past two years, and hooked up with the Chu State and the grassland, the border of the Chen State could be described as dangerous step by step, and he himself was difficult to swallow and sleep peacefully because of this matter, but Tang Ning, as the prime minister of a country, actually hid in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and had children with his wife, and a nameless fire surged in his heart.

He looked at Tang Ning and asked angrily, "Have you heard about the affairs of the Western Regions?" ”

Tang Ning nodded and said, "On the way back to Beijing, I have already heard that Xiao Wan annexed Dayue Wusun and unified the Western Regions...... That little Wan country lord is really powerful. ”

Emperor Chen coughed and looked at him dissatisfied, as if he was not pleased with praising his enemy.

Although he also thinks that this is true, it is inevitably a bit of a big ambition for others and to destroy his own prestige.

"And that's not all." He looked at Tang Ning, his face became solemn, and said: "That Xiao Wan not only unified the Western Regions, but also successfully married with the Chu State, Princess Changning of the Chu State is about to marry the lord of the Xiao Wan Kingdom, in this way, my Chen State has not only lost a reliable ally, but also has a powerful enemy, what do you say I should do, what should the court do?" ”

Tang Ning thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty is worried that Xiao Wan and the Chu State will join forces to deal with our Chen State?" ”

Emperor Chen's face was very serious, and he said: "Maybe there is a grassland, this time the disaster of the black barbarians, the Western Regions also sent troops to reinforce Su Shen, I don't know what the plan is......"

Tang Ning said: "The minister thinks that His Majesty is a little worried. ”

Emperor Chen looked at him and said, "Tell me what you think." ”

Tang Ning pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty is worried that Xiao Wan and the State of Chu will join forces to deal with the State of Chen, but the fact is that since Xiao Wan unified the Western Regions, he has been wholeheartedly seeking development, and his attitude towards merchants from various countries is also very friendly, and he has never provoked friction with the State of Chen, which may indicate that Xiao Wan also intends to coexist peacefully with us." ”

Emperor Chen looked at him and said, "Don't forget, the war between Chen Guo and Xiao Wan was originally provoked by Xiao Wan. ”

Tang Ning said: "But the minister heard that Xiao Wan has changed the lord of the country, maybe this new lord is a good monarch who longs for peace, otherwise, after they became stronger, why didn't they provoke a war again?" ”

"It's not impossible for you to say that." Emperor Chen thought for a moment and said, "But it's only possible, we still have to be fully prepared." ”

Tang Ning looked at Emperor Chen and said, "The minister thinks that the lord of Xiaowan Kingdom may also have the intention of seeking peace through marriage, maybe they will come to my Chen Kingdom to seek marriage after a while......"

Speaking of this, a trace of suspicion appeared on Emperor Chen's face, and he asked: "When I Chen Guo asked for marriage, Chu State rejected us on the pretext that the princess would not marry outside, how could he suddenly agree to the Western Regions this time?" ”

Tang Ning lowered his head and said: "I heard that the lord of Xiaowan not only has the talent of governing the country through heaven and earth, but also looks even more personable, a talent, he is a masterpiece among the outstanding people, maybe the Chu State felt that such a person was worthy of their princess, so he simply agreed......"

Emperor Chen looked at him and said dissatisfiedly, "Which side are you standing on?" ”

Tang Ning immediately looked straight and asked: "Your Majesty, if, the minister said that if, if Xiao Wan also came to my Chen Kingdom to ask for marriage, what would Your Majesty do?" ”

Emperor Chen glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, since I have agreed to you and Man'er, I will not go back on my word, even if it is a marriage in the Western Regions, I will not agree to them......"

Downing: "(??????????) ……”

Emperor Chen thought for a while, and then said: "However, you are right, if the Western Regions really have the intention to seek peace, it is also a win-win thing, and it is not easy for me to refuse, but except for Man'er, there is no suitable princess around me......"

He thought for a while, and suddenly said: "By the way, isn't Anyang still married, I might as well make her a princess now, just in case ......"

Downing: "(〇О〇)......"

Emperor Chen's face showed a hint of triumph, as if he was proud of his cleverness, and couldn't wait to say: "Wei Jian, the intention is ......."
