Chapter 379: Hidden Feelings
"This third thing! That's what comes next. The top priority is to immediately reorganize the forces at hand, and then go to Hanjiang first to rescue my sister Princess Qingle! ”
The crowd grew more and more amazed.
Save? Didn't the crown princess stay in the Cangwu Kingdom peacefully? How to rescue one?
When Liu Mingyan heard this, she said: "Your Majesty, since you are talking about rectification, the minister wants to let Your Majesty see the two of you first." As he spoke, he motioned to the attendant beside him to invite people in.
Zhu Zhitong was thinking about who it would be, when she saw two figures appear from the inner room.
The tall old man is already gray, and he is still in good spirits, it is Lu Xingyuan, the third-generation old prime minister of the blue sea!
Although the other person is old, he has a beautiful posture and extraordinary manners, and it is Zhu Yuxiao, the princess of Yinquan!
Zhu Zhitong and Su Xiaochen didn't expect to meet these two people here, and they both stood up in shock.
That Zhu Yuxiao saw Zhu Zhitong and Su Xiaochen, one was a blood relative, and the other was an old man, thinking about the past, she couldn't hold back her tears and cried at the moment.
Lu Xingyuan saluted Liu Mingyan: "Your Majesty really did not make a mistake, King Lijun is really worthy of being the pillar of my country, and the old minister is really grateful to protect me from the royal family of Bihai." ”
On that day, when Lu Xingyuan was forced to sue for old age because of the Nanhua gold sales case, he and Liu Mingyan had become a fire and water, especially Liu Mingyan was even more resentful of Lu Xingyuan because his father Liu Zhan had suffered the dumb loss of the Lu family all the year round, but at the moment of Imuran's great enemy, Lu Xingyuan not only became the person entrusted by Emperor Zhu Yutang to secretly contact Liu Mingyan, but also became a minister of Tuogu with her. This Lu Xingyuan has a very high reputation in the court, but for the sake of the Bihai royal family, he is willing to be humble to himself regardless of his previous suspicions, which makes Liu Mingyan also feel a little ashamed.
At present, it is clear which is more important and which is more important.
Now they are all grasshoppers on the same boat, and no matter how trivial things they are, they are not the two of them.
Therefore, when Lu Xingyuan quietly fled to the vicinity of the Kuntou ship with Zhu Yuxiao that night, Liu Mingyan immediately put aside the matter of the words and swords in the palace that day, and placed the two of them properly on the ship.
Zhu Yuxiao stroked Zhu Zhitong's face and said, "Child, fortunately, you are fine, you are really blessed by the gods." ”
"I know that my mother has secretly arranged it, but I don't know how my aunt escaped?"
Zhu Yuxiao was a little ashamed when she heard her talk about Zhu Yutang. "Your mother...... Your mother has been at odds with her aunt lately, but she's always worried about me. She quietly ordered Lu Xing to enter the Yongjin Gate, and hid in the uninhabited Qingwu Palace, not far from the Qinglian Palace, and as soon as the Imurans entered the city, he took me out of the city through the secret passage. ”
Su Xiaochen looked at her left and right and asked, "Master, I remember that there is a maid named Xiaobei by your side, didn't she come with you?" ”
"She is loyal, for fear that I will be suspicious of the Imulans after I leave the Qinglian Palace, and this time she volunteered to break the queen for me, and now she is about ...... Alas. ”
Zhu Yuxiao looked at Su Xiaochen, and said to Zhu Zhitong: "This kid of him, I have seen the big one since he was a child, he is a safe person, and with him protecting you, my aunt is much more relieved." Alas...... In fact, my aunt is already at such an age, but every day is a waste of time waiting for one day to go into the ground, whether you can live or not, what is the matter, you don't have to pay too much attention to your aunt, the important thing is your children...... I only pity my sister...... "After that, I will cry again when I hide my face."
Liu Mingyan hurriedly supported her and persuaded her: "Auntie, don't be too sad, now Your Majesty is safe and sound, it is finally a blessing for my blue sea, Your Majesty just said that the top priority is to go into Cangwu to save people, Aunt and Prime Minister Lu Cheng know a lot of things about Cangwu Kingdom, so I also want to ask the two of you to tell everyone what you can know, maybe you can communicate with each other and know some truth." ”
Zhu Zhitong nodded and said, "That's exactly what it means." I mentioned some things to me a few days before my mother's death, and some of the letters and letters left in the Laiyi Palace, I can also know some of my mother's intentions, but I know only half of them, such as ...... This Mu Yun clan's business ......"
She had a difficult look on her face, and couldn't help but glance at Su Xiaochen.
The things about the Cangwu Kingdom mentioned when Qi Chu came to tell the secret were really too incredible, even after she knew that she was the Mu Yun clan at the moment, she still felt a little unspeakable.
Su Xiaochen saw that she was not easy to say, so he opened his mouth to tell her about the two illegitimate sons of Mu Yunxuan of Cangwu Kingdom, one is Emperor Wen Li Houcong, and the other is the concubine Lu Wenjun.
From the moment Fang had just boarded the Kuntou ship, everyone had heard some amazing inside stories one after another, and the more they listened, the more terrifying they became, but when they heard this, they felt that the previous things were like child's play.
Especially Qiu Yueshi's uncle and nephew and Eagle Tail Hotaru, they are all foreigners, and they have been listening and thinking from the perspective of a bystander from the beginning to the end, and when they hear these connections between Cangwu and Bihai, they can't help but think, they have always thought that the disputes between the twelve branches of the Luxia royal family are complicated enough, but I didn't expect that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and what is even more terrifying is that all the things between the two countries are entangled like a mess, and they want to cut them all over again, which is really overwhelming.
Qiuyue Zongzhi was a steady old man, who had been listening silently from the sidelines, and finally couldn't help but interject when he heard about the twins: "So the Jinquan Horse is actually from the Cangwu country?" But you Bihai people don't notice it in the slightest? How is this possible? For example, you just said that Emperor Wen and Jinquan are twin brothers, so since Princess Yinquan has seen Jinquan and married to Cangwu to see Emperor Wen, why didn't she find that the two looked exactly the same? ”
Zhu Yuxiao sighed with tears: "This is really a trick to make people." At the beginning, my sister also asked me in the Shuangquan Pavilion if I had seen the face of Emperor Wen. I said, "It is an ancient ritual for a king not to see his courtier's wife, and even if there is an occasional important celebration, he also looks at it from a distance and never looks closely. And I was staying in the Taishi Mansion every day, and when I rarely showed up, I heard that Emperor Wen was always spent in the tea garden and chess room in addition to the previous court, and almost did not leave the palace. So for twenty-four years, there was no face-to-face acquaintance. But if I could see it up close once, I would have noticed it. But...... Maybe it's really the number of days......"
She paused and said: "Actually, if you want to talk about it in detail, Jinquan Horse was not completely without clues back then, for example, he likes to eat perilla, this thing has a heavy smell, and it is avoided in my blue sea, but everyone loves to eat in Cangwu." At that time, my sister always complained that she couldn't stand it every time there was perilla on the table, and she always wanted to eat with him, but never thought about the reason. But if we don't know the truth now, how can we think of the weirdness in such a trivial matter? And who will use it to find out the origin of the colt. ”
Su Xiaochen suddenly vaguely remembered that he seemed to have a dream at some point, and the middle-aged scholar in the dream invited him to eat perilla cakes and entrusted him to find his daughter. He remembered that the scholar's home had a book called "Blue Sea and Flame Record", which recorded Mu Yunduo's judgment: The dove occupies the magpie's nest and has to be returned.
Mu Yunduo vainly tried to occupy the throne of the Li family in the magpie's nest and sought to seize the world, but was sabotaged by Li Houcong of the Mu Yun clan. However, the seemingly failed ending was accidentally led to the Jinquan concubine Lu Wenjun because of Wen Lan's arrangement, since Zhu Zhijie, the crown princess of Cangwu Kingdom, and Zhu Zhitong, the Ming Emperor of Bihai Kingdom, are both daughters of Lu Wenjun, then wouldn't it really become the world of Mu Yun's descendants?
I didn't expect the prophecy in that book to really come true, but unfortunately I didn't read it carefully at the time, otherwise, maybe I could see what would happen to me and Xiaotong in the future.
Where did Zhu Zhitong know about the whimsical in Su Xiaochen's heart, she said to Lu Xingyuan: "Ah Weng, since we now know these secrets of Cangwu Kingdom, and our Zhu family is involved, then the top priority is to protect my sister's life." According to the blood clan's Wang Changji, Wen Lan used this to blackmail my mother and emperor, saying that once Li Houcong knew that his sister was Mu Yun's family, he would inevitably kill him. Now that the pigeon harrier has been released, we must rush to both sides of the Hanjiang River as soon as possible no matter what, and then find a way to enter the imperial capital to save my sister. I just thought about it for a while, Li Houcong is two-faced and three-stabbed, and Emperor Wanhua is the capital of Gyeonggi, so this matter cannot be taken by force, but can only be acted in secret. ”
Liu Mingyan nodded and said, "Your Majesty is very right, in fact, there is still something that the minister has not yet explained to His Majesty. Before the princess of the Qing Shark had borrowed 10,000 soldiers from the Baisha Battalion from the minister, and later all of them were donated to Linzhou, and there were still 14,000 soldiers in the Baisha Battalion under the Governor's Mansion of the Southern Xinjiang Governor, but last month, the 6,000 sailors under the command of the minister accidentally encountered a rare storm when they went out to sea for cruise, and almost all the troops were wiped out, and only more than 800 people survived......"
"What?!" Zhu Zhitong was taken aback, "How could such a natural disaster occur?" ”
"The minister also doesn't know very well, since the collapse of the land of the Naluxia Kingdom and the sinking of the island, the weather in southern Xinjiang has become more and more strange, especially on the ocean surface, there are sometimes purple lightning and thunder, and the anomalies are frequent. This time, according to the surviving soldiers, it was still calm, but suddenly there was a violent wind, and there was a turbulent sea in front of him, and the most terrible thing was that all the compasses were out of accuracy and just turned indiscriminately, and they couldn't recognize the direction at all! ”
Qiu Yue nodded and said, "Although this kind of weather is rare, it does exist. It is recorded in the ancient book "Taiping Ji" of Liuxia that about 300 years ago, there was a time when purple lightning thundered, accompanied by a large hail of plates, smashed the entire king into ruins, and if it was encountered at sea, there was nowhere to escape. ”
Su Xiaochen remembered that there was a sand blizzard in Imuran, a river flooding in Cangwu, and this purple lightning and thunder in Liuxia and the blue sea, and it was really the world that was so big.
Liu Mingyan said sullenly: "So Your Majesty, the number of troops available to the minister now is only less than 9,000 people." Fang Caichen used the Kuntou ship to shake back the Imurans in Luoxia Bay, but in fact, he could only bluff for a while, and could not recapture Taiye City. His Majesty said that he would go to the Wanhua Emperor Capital, which had 100,000 troops, to save people, so he had to sneak in quietly, and it was impossible to fight head-on. ”
