Chapter 222: Departure with the Army
I hurried back to the palace and told me everything I had done, and at the same time I apologized for my failure.
The national teacher closed his eyes, and after being silent for a moment, he just stopped slightly, "The second prince is strong in martial arts, and it is not easy for you to be debunked by him after three days by his side, you should retreat first." ”
"Is he really a prince?" I can't react to it.
But the national teacher pursed his lips into a line, and he didn't want to say anything, so I could only give up my hand and retreat first.
After that day, I didn't leave the palace to continue to follow the other party, but in this Qingxu Palace, the national teacher has begun to gradually trust me, and will hand over some big and small things to me to handle.
It was also through these that I learned a lot about the world of the Qingxu Palace, which is different from the eyes of outsiders.
On this day, on my way back from shopping outside, I heard a big news that shocked the whole city.
The so-called disappearance, the more popular speculation is that the woman was originally in love with a man, because of the unpermission of Lord Shangshu, so she could only communicate secretly, but as soon as the envoy of the central country came yesterday night, and threw out the request for harmony, the woman secretly discussed with the man, and escaped from Shangshu Mansion when the night was dark and the wind was high!
And that mysterious man became the object of conversation for everyone in the capital after tea and dinner for a while, and said that he was the champion who was dismissed last year, and some said that he was a subordinate in Shangshu Mansion, and even said that he was the second prince of Yunyi who has traveled the world for more than ten years!
I didn't know what to think about this incident, so I quickly rushed back and told the National Teacher about it.
"He could have done it so quickly!" The national teacher was also surprised.
"However, the envoy of the central country came to mention it last night, it seems that he is ready to settle the matter this time, and the emperor also agreed to the other party in front of the ministers, and now that the people are gone, how can Cangyun Kingdom explain to the other party?" Changshui stood aside, pacing, anxious.
She always knows a lot more than I do.
"Where has this news gotten now?" The national teacher thought about it and asked me.
"When the slave came back, almost half of the people in the capital knew about it."
The national teacher settled down and called people unhurriedly, "Changshui, you go and inform Mu Han now, and tell him to rush to the palace gate immediately to block the envoy's way, and say, this phase has been calculated, and the two sides should not meet today!" ”
"Yes, the slave will go right away!" After Changshui should get down, he hurriedly walked out.
"National teacher, what do you think...... Will it be the second prince? ”
"Whether it's the second prince or not, I don't know what he is, but this matter must have something to do with him!" Her face was solemn, and the more critical she was, the more calm she became, which was difficult for ordinary women to do. "You go to the Qiankun Palace now, tell the emperor, and say that the prime minister has something urgent to find the emperor."
"National teacher, don't you want to go over?" I was taken aback by her words, she was the first person who could let the Ninety-Five, the emperor come in person!
"You just do what you say." With that, she turned and walked into the inner room.
I didn't dare to delay, so I hurried to the Qiankun Palace, found the father-in-law who was guarding outside, and repeated the words of the national teacher to him.
I saw that my father-in-law's face really changed, and he entered the main hall, and after a while, he walked out of it with a bright yellow figure.
That should be the emperor...... This is my first time facing the saint, and I can't help but feel a little nervous.
That majestic face, solemn eyes, looked at me heroically and asked, "What you said is true?" ”
"What the slave and maid just said, it is true that the national teacher asked the slave and maid to bring it over, and there is absolutely no half-truth!"
The emperor's face quickly changed, he dragged away the hand that his father-in-law was supporting, waved his sleeve, and swept in front of me.
I followed behind the two of them until I reached the Void Palace.
I don't know what the national teacher and the emperor said in it, but this conversation is very long, so long that it ...... When Changshui and Mu Han came back at the same time after finishing their errands, the door had not yet been opened.
"The national teacher is inside?"
"The national teacher and the emperor are inside, and they have been in for a while." I couldn't help but say.
"Why did the emperor come?" When Mu Han came over, he knew some things from Changshuikou, but it wasn't very clear.
"It was the national teacher who asked me to invite the emperor over, as for what it is, I don't know."
The three of us waited outside, and when it was almost dark, my father-in-law finally pushed the door open.
The emperor's face was a little ugly, and before leaving, he sighed bitterly, and said to the national teacher, "You have to worry a lot about this matter." ”
"This is a matter within the minister's duty, and the minister must do his best!"
"With Aiqing's words, the lonely king is pleased......"
"Congratulations to the emperor, long live long live, long live!"
As soon as the emperor left, the three couldn't help but step forward.
"National teacher, the envoys have been intercepted, and now they should also return to the palace."
"Hmm......" Ji Yunxiao nodded, relieved.
I was a little worried, "But it won't be a long-term thing if it goes on like this, there are rumors in the capital, and no matter how heavily guarded the palace is, there is no impermeable wall, and those people will know about it sooner or later." ”
"That's why the prime minister will look for the emperor."
The slave didn't understand ...... "Can it be solved at once by looking for the emperor?" Everyone is gone, will the emperor know the whereabouts of those two?
"The emperor will send the envoy back to China early tomorrow morning, and there will be special guards on the way to protect it, as long as they return to China, this matter can be delayed for a while, give the palace people time, and find two people."
"I see!" Changshui and I suddenly came to our senses and smiled at each other.
………………………………
On the second day, as the national teacher said, I don't know what method the emperor used to really send back all the envoys of Yeyang Kingdom.
Originally, everything was going very smoothly, but everyone didn't expect that a month later, an urgent report came from the frontier, saying that the Nine Princes of Yeyang Country were coming with more than 100,000 elite soldiers, and they were coming menacingly, and they would arrive at the border of Cangyun Country in a few days......
"National Teacher...... The ninth prince of Yeyang Kingdom brought troops over this time, in order to elope with the first good girl in the capital and the second prince, and to ask for an explanation for Yeyang Kingdom. Mu Han replied according to the news from the Qiankun Hall this morning.
Ji Yun smiled and his eyes narrowed, "This matter is strange, there must be something wrong in it!" ”
I was a little puzzled, and I couldn't help asking: "Everything went well that day, and the guards who escorted the messenger said that there was no news leaked, how could the other party know?" ”
As he spoke, the national teacher's expression moved, and in an instant, he ordered Mu Han to go down to investigate this matter.
In just half a day's effort, he got a message from Mu Han.
The letter said that one of the envoys did not fail to keep up with the pace of the team early in the morning because of the incompatibility of water and soil, and he was left alone, but he naturally heard the news in the capital, and reported the matter to the nine princes of Yeyang Kingdom as soon as he returned to China, which caused the other party to be angry.
My lips moved, and my eyes stretched back from the letter, "National Teacher, in this way, Cangyun Kingdom first took care of his family, making the Nine Princes lose face, and then used the delaying tactic to block the other party's ears and eyes, and deceived Yeyang Kingdom, I'm afraid this."
Once, it was not so easy to dissolve. ”
"Dissolve? Scold...... The ambition of the Nine Princes and the Wolf Son, and the escape from marriage crusade is just a pretense, if he didn't come prepared, how could he be so presumptuous! ...... "In terms of the situation between the two countries, the national teacher seems to have a long-term view and is more aware of the changes. "However, speaking of which, in the final analysis, the prime minister also has to bear part of the responsibility, and he also needs to ask the emperor for his guilt in the past."
"Then what does the slave need to do next?"
"It just so happens that there is something that you need to do......
"National teacher, please command!"
"Go to the East Palace to find the prince."
"Looking for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" I suddenly didn't understand the thoughts of the national teacher.
However, since the national teacher is so ordered, there must be a reason for her.
So, I went to the East Palace once, and after two years, it seems that there is no change at all.
"I heard from the next person, it was the national teacher who ordered you to come to the palace?" When the servants made the announcement, it seemed that they had already informed His Highness in advance of the purpose of my visit.
His Highness seems to have changed in the past two years, becoming more and more handsome and mature, and I don't know if he is the person I first met who loved to laugh and read, and was as light as white jade, and, in my capacity, I was not qualified to ask half a sentence.
"Yes, the slave maid was ordered by the national teacher to invite His Highness to go to the Qingxu Palace."
"Okay, Hongu will go with you......"
There was silence all the way, and the silence was a little panicked, but fortunately, the Qingxu Palace was not very far from the East Palace, and it would be there in a while.
It just so happened that the national teacher also came back and invited His Highness into the house.
After I served my tea, I stepped aside and waited carefully.
The national teacher got straight to the point, and told the current emergency situation, and His Highness couldn't help but wrinkle tightly when he heard it.
But he smiled, "This is not what you came to this palace to say today, right?" ”
Ji Yunxiao paused for a moment as he brushed the tea lid in his hand, looked at him sideways, and said: "The battle between Cangyun and Yeyang is inevitable, and in this expedition, Weichen will go to the border area with the army." ”
"You're going?!" Yun Jin was taken aback, his face was a little gloomy, "There are generals, military divisions and soldiers in the barracks, what are you going to do?" ”
"The purpose of the Nine Princes of Yeyang Kingdom coming this time is already obvious. And Emperor Jiushu has never lost a battle since he led his troops, Cangyun and Yeyang have been at peace in the past few decades, but Cangyun Country is the southern region after all, and he is used to a comfortable day on weekdays, and he has already begun to slack off in the military, so I have to go to this battle! Her eyes are firm, as if as long as she makes a decision, no matter how many people oppose it, she will insist on it and do it seriously!
Yun Jin has known her since she was five years old, and now, it has been almost ten years, and he knows a little bit about her temper, and he sighed after thinking for a while, "You have the mission of the first national teacher of Cangyun Country, and it is not trivial to go to the border here, you must first ask for your father's consent and wait for him to ......."
"Emperor Yun has already agreed to Weichen's request."
Yun Jin was startled again, and looked at him stunned for a long time, before he came back to his senses and smiled bitterly, "Your movements have never been slow, but because of this, this palace is always worried about your behavior.
Anyway, since this is your decision, this palace also knows that you have always been decisive, but whatever you decide, you never listen to the words of others. I only hope that you can go out indifferently this time, and you will come back safely, can you promise this palace? ”
"Wechen should do his best!" Ji Yun smiled, held the teacup, and quietly took a sip of tea.
"So what's going on with you?"
"General Lin's army will depart early tomorrow morning, and I will accompany you."
