Chapter 650: Talking on the Map
The hall of the immortals was resplendent in gold, but the prince's tone was full of coldness. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Qi Ning knew that it would not be easy for the Han delegation to leave Eastern Qi safely this time, and if this incident really led to the breakdown of the relationship between Qi and Han and the formation of hostile relations, this would naturally be the best news for Chu.
But he always felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.
"The Han people want to use Maling Mountain to marry my Tianxiang." The Eastern Qi Monarch's eyes were deep, and he sneered, "How could I make such a deal with my princess? His tone was awe-inspiring, but it surprised Qi Ning, a few times ago in the main hall, the Northern Han mission proposed to cede Maling Mountain, Qi Ning saw with his own eyes that the monarch of the Eastern Qi Kingdom was radiant.
"Your Majesty, forgive the foreign ministers for being presumptuous." Qi Ning arched his hand and said: "Today, His Royal Highness the Prince went to the post house, and the foreign minister said that he would send the results of this trip back to Jianye, His Royal Highness advised the ministers not to be anxious, the king has not yet made a final decision, so ......!" ”
The monarch of Eastern Qi bowed slightly, and said, "I understand what you mean. Jinyihou, I will send the princess to the Chu State, will your Chu State immediately canonize Tianxiang as the queen? ”
Qi Ning got up and said respectfully: "Back to the king, I can take the reputation of the Qi family in brocade clothes to marry Princess Tianxiang, it is not child's play, before the foreign ministers came, the emperor once again told him to form an alliance with Qi Guoyong, and said that no matter the success or failure of this courtship, my Chu country must live in harmony with Qi country, if the king cuts his love and lets Princess Tianxiang marry into my Da Chu, it will be a grand event for my Da Chu country, and the emperor will immediately canonize the princess as the queen." ”
The monarch of the Eastern Qi Kingdom said with a slight smile: "Jinyi Hou, I believe that your Chu State is sincere, I have already decided, promised your Chu State, and let Tianxiang go to the Chu State to marry a good marriage." ”
Although Qi Ning faintly expected it, the Eastern Qi monarch said it himself, which still made him feel a little happy.
Qi Ning traveled to this world and became the Lord of Jinyi in Chu by mistake, and at first he entered Beijing just to be able to use the power of the Marquis of Jinyi to find Fluttershy, but Fluttershy was robbed halfway through, his whereabouts are unknown, and his traces are difficult to find, and the Jinyi Marquis Mansion is facing a great crisis.
Originally, the crisis of the Marquis of Jinyi Mansion had nothing to do with him, but when he thought that once the Marquis of Jinyi Mansion declined, Gu Qinghan would also end up miserable, but it was also for Gu Qinghan to stay in the Marquis of Jinyi, and then he found that the new monarch of Chu State was actually acquainted, and the new monarch ascended the throne, and there were few cronies on hand, but he was very important, and Qi Ning also appreciated the talent of the little emperor, and the rise and fall of the Marquis of Jinyi was directly related to the rise and fall of the little emperor.
Since he saw through the stakes, he naturally tried his best to help the little emperor sit on the dragon chair, this time to send an envoy to Eastern Qi, it can be said that he is shouldering a heavy responsibility, for the little emperor's power to grow, this is an extremely critical move, before Qi Ning sent the envoy, he secretly determined to go all out to achieve the little emperor's wishes.
He also knows very well in his heart that once he takes over this burden, there is no advance or retreat, if he loses, the two forces in the court will definitely take advantage of the topic to play, and the spearhead will be aimed at the Jinyi Qi family, at this moment I heard the Dongqi Emperor personally say that a promise, a stone finally landed, but he was not a person who was happy and angry, and arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the marriage, long live my lord, if you know, you will be happy, and the minister will quickly pass the book today, and fold it to the emperor." ”
The prince smiled: "Jinyihou, this palace has said that everything should not be rushed. Father Emperor Shengming, how can he not know that the Northern Han people are two-faced and three-sworded, and our Qi State will never believe their words. ”
Qi Ning smiled: "What His Highness said is extremely true. ”
"It's just that the Northern Han people assassinated their father and emperor this time, and the crime is extremely evil, if they don't give them a little lesson, he will only be my big Qi and no one." The crown prince turned to the monarch of Eastern Qi and said solemnly: "Father, the son of the emperor asks for his life, and he will definitely teach the Northern Han people a lesson." ”
Dongqi Guojun took the cup and said, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Didn't the Northern Han people say that they would cede Maling Mountain?" The prince sneered: "I don't need him to cede it, I am a strong general, even if I take it myself, it is not difficult." ”
Qi Ning's heart sank, but the monarch of Eastern Qi had already said: "Prince, although the Northern Han people are insidious, they have many soldiers and generals, and they are not comparable to my Great Qi. You are too young to be rash. ”
The crown prince smiled and said: "Father, don't forget, this time Tianxiang went to the Chu country, and from now on, my Daqi and the Chu country will be the country of in-laws." For many years, the Han people have not only been eyeing our Daqi, but also have been watching the vast territory of the Chu State, in a vain attempt to dominate the world, the Qinhuai War, how many Chu people have been displaced, and how many Chu soldiers have died on the battlefield, Erchen feels that the hatred of Chu for the Han State will definitely not be forgotten. As he spoke, he looked at Qi Ning.
Qi Ning smiled and said, "The Han State is ambitious, and the Chu State naturally can't let them bully. ”
The prince said solemnly: "In the Qinhuai War, your country lost the two counties north of the Huai River, don't you want to take them back?" At that time, the old marquis of Jinyi was invincible and captured the two counties of Huaibei, but now it is occupied by the Han people, which is not only the grudge of the Chu State, but also the grudge of the Jinyi Qi family. ”
Qi Ning vaguely understood something at this time, but he also said with a solemn face: "What His Royal Highness said is extremely true, the loss of the two counties of Huaibei is indeed the pain of my Chu country. ”
The crown prince glanced at the monarch of Eastern Qi and said with a smile: "Since you and I have formed an alliance, it is natural to let the Northern Han people see the strength of the alliance between you and me." If our Qi State captures Maling Mountain, and your country can recapture the two counties of Huaibei, this will be a heavy blow to the Northern Han, and the Northern Han will not be too arrogant in the future. ”
At this time, Qi Ning finally knew that the monarch of Eastern Qi held a banquet tonight, and he was actually planning with him to join forces with the two countries to attack the Han State.
He was surprised in his heart, but he was even more puzzled, looking at the glint in the prince's eyes, he was obviously interested in the coalition army to attack Han, but where did this interest come from?
Qi Ning, of course, did not believe that this was an assassination plot by Qi that wanted to take revenge on the Han State.
Of course, the monarch of Eastern Qi knew why Chi Danmei entered the palace to assassinate, the only survivor of the original prince's mansion was Chi Danmei, who was taken to Baiyun Island by the lord of Baiyun Island, and the monarch of Eastern Qi did not ascend the throne at that time, and even if he ascended the throne, he may not dare to fight against the lord of Baiyun Island, so over the years, he must have been worried about the existence of Chi Danmei.
The assassination of the day, if it is said that Chi Danmei entered the palace to assassinate, it is better to say that the monarch of Eastern Qi set a trap to trap Chi Danmei, otherwise how could Baiyun Island kill the two slaves and pretend to be too guardian to be on the side of the monarch of Eastern Qi, that can only show that the monarch of Eastern Qi already knew that Chi Danmei was about to make a move.
He knew that Chi Danmei wanted to kill him and was willing, and of course he also knew that the assassination incident that day was that the Northern Han mission just carried a big black cauldron.
Today, the father and son of the Eastern Qi monarch joined forces to act, and it was as if it was really because the Northern Han Dynasty was involved in the assassination incident, so he hated the Northern Han Dynasty to the core.
If it weren't for the assassination, Qi Ning couldn't understand why their attitude had changed so much in this short period of time, from the beginning they were ready to marry the Northern Han, but in the blink of an eye, they were ready to join forces with the Chu State to attack the Northern Han, this kind of behavior was like child's play, but Qi Ning knew that with the IQ of the father and son, it was absolutely impossible to do such a child's play.
Qi wanted to attack the Northern Han Dynasty, which of course surprised Qi Ning.
The national policy of Qi has always been to balance the two great powers between Han and Chu, and to survive in the cracks, but now it is ready to move, and it is actually going to unite Chu to attack Han, Qi Ning concluded that this must be an extremely important event, otherwise if Qi wants to unite Chu to attack Han, there will be a chance at any time for so many years, Chu is desperate for this, but why does Qi wait until today to have such a plan?
The prince saw that Qi Ning was slightly stunned, glanced at the monarch of Eastern Qi, and suddenly clapped his hands, and saw the two eunuchs hurriedly come out, the prince made a gesture, but Qi Ning saw that the two eunuchs opened a picture scroll made of silk silk, the prince had already gotten up, walked to the picture scroll, and said with a smile: "Jinyi is better to come and see." ”
Qi Ning got up and went over, and at this time he saw clearly, there was suddenly a map on it, he only glanced at it, and recognized that it was the geographical map of today, the geographical map of the three kingdoms of Han, Chu and Qi all jumped on the silk, but the marks on the map were not too detailed, especially in many places of the Han and Chu countries, the passes and dangers were marked out, and the whole map only outlined the general geography of today's world.
"Jinyihou, this is the Juyang County and Chen County that your Chu State once occupied in Huaibei." The prince took a bamboo stick handed over by a person next to him, pointed to a place on the map and said: "Back then, these two counties were in the hands of your Chu State, just like a dagger, against the belly of the Northern Han Dynasty. ”
Qi Ning could see clearly at this time, that Juyang County and Chen County were both in the Huaibei region, and they really suddenly entered the territory of the Han Kingdom, only to see the prince move the bamboo stick, move it to the northeast, and point to one place: "This is Maling Mountain, Jinyi Hou, take a closer look, these two places, are they becoming corners?" ”
Qi Ning glanced at it, bowed his head slightly, and the prince smiled: "In the area between Chen County and Maling Mountain, it is the city father and Dingtao counties of the Han State, once the Chu State recaptures Juyang and Chen County, and my Qi State takes Maling Mountain, then the City Father and Dingtao County are the turtles in the urn, and they can be easily taken down, so that as long as the war goes well, we can at least take the land of the five counties of the Northern Han Dynasty, and the Han State will definitely decline greatly." ”
Qi Ning bowed his head slightly and said, "Your Highness, the State of Chu has always wanted to recapture the two counties of Huaibei, but the current situation is a little different. Qi State attacked Maling Mountain, there was not much obstacle on the way, the hard bones were in Maling Mountain, with the strength of Qi State, it was easy to sweep away the counties along the way from Qi State to Maling Mountain. But we want to fight to Huaibei, but there is a Huai River in the middle, and now after the Northern Han people have captured the two counties of Huaibei, we have no place in Huaibei, and the two armies are facing each other in the Huai River, and it is not easy to easily break through the past. ”
The monarch of the Eastern Qi Kingdom just drank on his own, looked unusually calm, and did not talk much, but the prince threw the bamboo stick to the eunuch on the side, and said with a smile: "Jinyi Hou, don't forget, the Huai River is like a pool in our backyard for our Qi country, and it is easy for the Eastern Qi Naval Division to assist the Chu army in seizing the beachhead on the north bank of the Huai River!" ”
