The little brute thought that she couldn't hear her voice if she was small, Tang Ning glanced at her, he was just an example, the little wild horse who likes to play with whips, he didn't want to give it away for nothing.

"If it is said that it came first and then came, the Tang wedding envoy was still before the second prince, and he visited the Xinwang Mansion many times, in order to get married."

A voice came from the front, and everyone's eyes looked over.

King Xin looked up at Emperor Chu and arched his hand: "Chen Guo and the grassland both want to get married, and this matter still needs to be decided by Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Chu coughed a few times and did not speak, but suddenly there was a sound outside the hall.

A eunuch hurriedly ran in from outside the hall, tripped over the threshold and did not dare to delay, ran to the palace, knelt on the ground in a panic, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the Chenzhou military camp is urgent, General Xu was assassinated two days ago, an assassin sneaked into the barracks, killed General Xu, and hung his head on the flagpole......"

"What?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Chenzhou is adjacent to Kyoto, is the military town of Chu State, has always been heavily garrisoned, once Kyoto changes, Chenzhou defenders can urgently return to defense, one day to arrive.

Because of the heavy responsibility of guarding Kyoto, Chenzhou only had 50,000 permanent soldiers, and how could the assassins be allowed to infiltrate the military camp and take down the head of the supreme general?

Emperor Chu stood up from the dragon chair with difficulty and hissed, "What did you say? ”

……

Originally, it was a court meeting between Chen Guo and the grassland to compete for the lord of Changning, but because of this sudden incident, the matter of courting relatives was also temporarily shelved.

The rank of the assassinated general does not seem to be low, such a vicious incident occurred, the entire court was in chaos, and the Chu Emperor was too excited, his condition worsened, and he was helped down, leaving King Xin to stabilize the overall situation.

This belonged to the court affairs of the Chu State, and the envoys of the Chen State and the envoys of the grassland were politely invited.

A eunuch sent them to the gate of the palace, and after Yan Yan and they returned to the post station, Tang Ning and Lu Teng returned to the Splendid Palace.

"Greed is not enough to swallow an elephant." The second prince looked at Tang Ning and said with a smile: "Chen Guo married the princess, and he still wants to marry the county lord, be careful that the bamboo basket will be empty in the end." ”

This second prince not only dresses like a Han, but even speaks like him, and there are endless idioms and sayings, which is much better than Wan Yan Yan, a half-person.

The second prince turned around and left after dropping a sentence, before leaving, Wan Yan Yan habitually did not give him a good face, Tang Ning thought that in that month's time, she had been trained to be more docile, but she didn't expect that the woman on the grassland was really wild and untamable, and after letting her go, she recovered her nature in two days.

Lu Teng walked beside him and said, "The state of Chu is also very tempted by the conditions they put forward, and it is not easy for us to fight with them. ”

Tang Ning waved his hand, "Let's take one step at a time." ”

In fact, it is really said that Chen Guo and the grassland are each with their own ghosts, for Emperor Chen, it is not important whether he marries the princess or the county lord, the important thing is to win the gamble, and for Tang Ning, he will neither let the princess marry the prince, nor let King Kang and King Duan marry the county lord......

As for those steppe barbarians, they secretly contacted the crown prince and explicitly asked to marry the daughter of the king of faith, and the ghost knows what their idea was.

In this situation, any change will make you a target, and it is best to wait and see what happens.

Back at the Splendid Palace, Tang Ning unexpectedly found that Lao Zheng had actually returned.

I thought he was going to go for ten days and half a month, but I didn't expect it to be so fast, having him by his side is tantamount to taking a reassuring pill.

He looked at Butcher Zheng and asked, "Is the matter done?" ”

Butcher Zheng squatted under the porch, took a sip of wine, and said, "It's over." ”

Tang Ning said: "It may take some time for us to go back." ”

"There's no hurry." Butcher Zheng wiped his mouth and said, "I'll go back with you then." ”

"How can the general of this Chu State say that death will die......" He Rui walked over with palpitations, looked at Lu Teng and said: "Lord Lu, you have to let the soldiers be careful, don't make any trouble with those assassins on the embankment......

Lu Teng said: "Don't worry, Lord He, the princess's bedroom, don't even think of flying into it." ”

"Where the envoys are, send more people to ......" He Rui said, then looked at Tang Ning and said: "Lord Tang, the matter of courting for relatives was preempted by those grassland barbarians, what can I do now......

Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Lord He, I have my own arrangements." ”

After lunch, Tang Ning took Chen Zhou and Lao Zheng to the Xinwang Mansion.

When I walked to the door of King Xin's mansion, I found that the second prince and Wan Yanyan were also there.

"Everyone, the prince said, I don't see outsiders today, so please go back." Although the guard at the gate of the palace had a smile on his face, his tone was rejecting thousands of miles away.

The second prince looked inside and arched his hand, "I'm sorry." ”

Tang Ning walked over from behind, looked at them, and walked into the gate of the palace.

The guard bowed down and said, "Lord Tang, please." ”

"Stop!" Wan Yan Yan pointed at Tang Ning, looked at the guard, and asked angrily, "Didn't you say that you can't see outsiders, why can he go in." ”

Tang Ning turned his head, looked at her, and smiled: "I'm sorry, we are not outsiders. ”

As the life-saving benefactor of King Xin and Princess Xin, King Xin also wanted him to marry Jinlan with Junism, although he refused, but he couldn't be regarded as an outsider, and he wouldn't be stopped when he entered the door.

Watching them walk in, Wan Yan stomped her feet and said angrily: "Why did you see him not seeing us, he was angry with me!" ”

The second prince didn't show any surprised expression, and said, "It seems that King Xin is still biased towards Chen Guo. ”

He looked at Yan Yan and said, "Let's go......"

……

Xinwang's mansion, in the study.

A young general looked at King Xin and said: "Lord Wang, General Xu's death is bizarre, and no clues have been found at all, it cannot be ruled out that some enemy is looking for the door, or send someone to investigate......

A person beside him said: "He is a traitor general of the Liang State, what enemies did he have before, how do we know?" ”

King Xin didn't speak, someone walked in from outside the door and said, "Lord Wang, Lord Tang is here." ”

King Shin raised his head and said, "Stand down and let him in." ”

Waiting for the people in King Xin's study to come out, Tang Ning stepped in.

"What are you doing here?" King Xin glanced at him and asked, "Do you want to marry the prince of your Chen Kingdom?" ”

"How have I ever asked the prince for a kiss?" Tang Ning looked at him and said, "Those words in the palace today were said by the prince himself. ”

King Shin asked, "Are you really not here to ask for a kiss?" ”

Tang Ning said: "No. ”

"Good!" King Xin walked to the table, took a piece of paper, and said, "Why don't you make a note here today, if you mention Lan Lan's family affair with this king one day, you will not be able to die with five thunderbolts in the sky......

Tang Ning glanced at King Xin, this person really has a problem, for no reason, what kind of note did he set up?

He took the initiative to come to him today because he had something important to discuss.

The contradiction between the crown prince and King Xin has long been irreconcilable, and only one of the two can be the emperor, and the other cannot end well at all.

For the sake of Zhao Xuan and Li Tianlan, Tang Ning naturally wanted to stand on the side of King Xin.

And before that, he must unite with King Shin before he can let go.

He looked at King Xin and said, "I came to ask the prince, do you want to watch Emperor Chu die and the crown prince ascend the throne?" ”

King Shin looked at him and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "If the crown prince ascends the throne, will this Chu State still have a place for the Xinwang Mansion?" ”

Syllable!

King Xin slapped the table and said, "Believe it or not, just by what you just said, this king can let people drag you out and cut you down!" ”

Tang Ning naturally didn't believe it, if he dared to give this order, it would be enough for him to die a hundred times before those people rushed in.

He continued, "You don't think about yourself, and you don't think about the lord and princess?" ”

King Xin waved his hand and said, "This king does things, and you don't need to teach them." ”

Without speculating for more than half a sentence, Tang Ning looked at him and said, "Since that's the case, take your leave." ”

The prince who doesn't want to be the emperor is not a good prince, there are some people in this world who obviously have unique advantages, but they have to be a salted fish without dreams, Tang Ning decided to help this salted fish turn over for free------ who let this salted fish have a good daughter?
