Chapter 956: The Swiftness of the Prairie
Only three days after the prince arrived in Beijing, he was sent back again, and his dream of the prince and the emperor was also because of his own stupidity, and he missed a great opportunity in vain.
Although the court and His Majesty are suspected of changing their orders, Xiao Wan's envoys really bit too hard in this matter, forcing the court and His Majesty to give them an explanation.
The reason why this incident will have such a big impact and cause His Majesty to take back his life is because of Xiao Wan.
But put yourself in their shoes, if it were their Majesty, in Xiao Wan suffered such a great humiliation, the reaction of the people and officials of Chu State is afraid that it will be greater, and if the prince is not severely punished, Xiao Wan will definitely not give up, and now Xiao Wan is not easy to provoke, in order to calm their anger, it is not surprising that His Majesty finally made such a decision.
The prince of Xianwang became a laughing stock, and he thought that the opportunity would fall to the other princes, but His Majesty did not mention it at all.
It's right to think about it, such a scandal has happened in the imperial court and the royal family, and His Majesty must not be extra cautious in choosing the prince again, if such a thing happens again, won't it make outsiders see jokes one after another?
When the people in Beijing were talking about this matter, Tang Ning and Li Tianlan were eating noodles in the mother-in-law's noodle restaurant.
Others say that the crux of the matter of offering the prince lies in Xiao Wan, but they don't know that Xiao Wan is the one who bears the blame.
They asked for an explanation so strongly, but in fact, they were just asking for a step down for Emperor Chu.
At this time, the mother-in-law who sold noodles was not outside, Tang Ning knew before that he was actually Li Tianlan's master, and her martial arts were all taught by her.
The old woman and the old beggar have been like glue lately, and they will fight every chance they have the chance, but the two have played so many times, but they are still opponents and have no winners and losers.
The old woman who sold noodles was obviously the opponent of the same level as the old beggar, but Lao Zheng was a little worse than them, and Li Tianlan and Xiaoxiao were about to go to the next step.
Tang Ning gave the poached eggs in the bowl to Li Tianlan, this trip to Chu State, although the process of coaxing her was a little more difficult, but fortunately, everything was still dangerous......
Tang Ning originally thought that Emperor Chu would quietly marry the princess to Xiaowan, but what he didn't expect was that he actually publicized the matter with great fanfare.
Chu is an ally of Chen, and Xiao Wan is Chen's enemy, at least for now.
Tang Ning didn't know how Emperor Chen would feel when he heard about the marriage between the allies and the enemy, but he definitely wouldn't bless him......
Obviously, for Chu State, their friendship with Chen Guo is nothing more than plastic brotherhood, they have been pressed by Chen State for so many years and have been exploited, how can there be no resentment in their hearts?
Maybe this time, he is using this incident to express his resentment for many years......
After all, the current Chu State is no longer what it used to be, they no longer have to be subject to the Chen State, the biggest enemy, the grassland Wanyan Department, has also reached a reconciliation with them, and the Chu State is about to enter a period of barbaric growth, so naturally they no longer need to be subject to the Chen State's bird spirit.
Tang Ning couldn't help but be a little worried, with Emperor Chen's careful eyes and his current body, whether he could withstand this sudden blow.
Chu Guo was so tough this time, completely ignoring Chen Guo's feelings, the biggest reason was that their enemies had now become friends and had no external troubles.
Speaking of the fact that after Yan Yan took power, the grassland also completely bid farewell to that kind of predatory development, they began to cooperate with Chen Chu for a win-win business, and the black barbarians who posed the greatest threat to them were in a split and could not threaten them for the time being, and the life of the people of the grassland had been better in the past two years.
Thinking of this, Tang Ning realized that the original three-year period with Yan Yan had passed another two years, and now there was only one year left.
If Li Tianlan is still sensible, the little brute girl does things, but she doesn't care so much about the consequences.
Tang Ning felt that if he dared to breach the contract for a day, the army of Wanyan was afraid that he would directly kill Chen Guo.
Eating noodles with such a mind makes the delicious things taste less.
Tang Ning inadvertently raised his head and saw a group of people hurriedly walking down the street, judging from their clothes, they should be grassland people.
Three years ago, the grassland people did not dare to appear in Chu State with such a swagger, and now that the two countries have agreed, it is not surprising to see Su Shen people in Kyoto of Chu State.
However, what Downing thought was an ordinary thing was actually unusual.
When he returned to his residence, he heard from Mr. Xu that in the depths of the grassland, the black barbarians had pacified the civil strife and reunited, and the Wanyan Division, which was also on the grassland, would face the threat of the black barbarians.
Although the current Wanyan Department, with Chen Chu's support, is even more powerful than two years ago, the black barbarians are already known for their bravery, and they can't get any benefits from this war at all.
The grassland sent people to Chu this time to move the rescue troops.
Compared to Chen, Chu was closer to the grasslands and could provide them with the most timely support.
Tang Ning looked at Mr. Xu and asked, "What does the Chu Imperial Court say?" ”
Mr. Xu said: "The ministers are discussing it, but the specific results are not yet known. ”
When Tang Ning came to the palace, the court meeting temporarily opened by the Chu State had ended, and the court was divided into two factions, one faction believed that the Wanyan Department should be supported, the black barbarians were the real barbarian race, and if the Wanyan Department was conquered by them, their next target would be the Chu State.
At that time, the situation of the Chu State will become even more dangerous than it was a few years ago.
Another part of the people insisted that although the black barbarians were powerful, the Su Shen people were not vegetarians, and if they wanted to eat their faces, the black barbarians would have to pay a huge price.
At that time, the state of Chu will make another move to maximize its interests.
There is nothing wrong with this kind of thinking, between countries, there are no eternal enemies, there are no eternal friends, there are only eternal interests, choose the latter, Chu State can get the greatest harvest at the lowest cost.
When Tang Ning saw Emperor Chu, he was pacing in the hall, his face thoughtful, and obviously he didn't make a decision.
Seeing Tang Ning coming in, his eyes looked at him and asked, "What do you think about this matter?" ”
Tang Ning said: "If the Chu State does not send troops, Xiao Wan will send 100,000 troops to support the Yan Ministry......"
"Why?" Emperor Chu looked at him and asked, "Xiao Wan is far away from the Black Man, even if they conquer the Su Shen people, the next target will be our Chu State." ”
Tang Ning shook his head and said, "The Western Regions also border the grassland, and I still understand the truth of cold lips and teeth. ”
Emperor Chu looked at him, his eyes were deep, and asked, "Why do I think, what selfish intentions do you have in sending troops so diligently?" ”
"The black barbarians are the enemy of everyone, helping the prudent people is to help ourselves, what selfishness can I have?" Tang Ning glanced at him and asked, "Does Your Majesty think it's because I have a crush on their female khan?" ”
