Qi Ning left the ghost bamboo forest and walked north, although he consumed a lot of physical strength last night, fortunately, his internal strength was deep, and he also slept with Chi Danmei for two hours later, and recovered a lot. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He knew that there were still hundreds of miles away from Lucheng, but fortunately, there were people coming and going on the official road, and there were many carriages that sent guests to Lucheng and turned back, hired a car, and when they arrived in Lucheng, they let the carriage go to the post house, paid the car, and then returned to the post house.

Yesterday after a day of tossing, the clothes naturally looked a little messy, but fortunately, the guards of the post house recognized it, put it in, and when they arrived at the East Garden, the soldiers of the Chu State who patrolled saw it, and they were surprised, and immediately ran back to report, Qi Ning had just arrived at the main hall of the East Garden, Qi Feng and Wu Dalin had already led a group of people to rush in, and they were all happy to see that Qi Ning was really safe and sound.

Qi Feng stepped forward and said excitedly: "Master Hou, you ..... It's great that you're back. ”

Wu Dalin stepped forward and said, "Master Hou, after you were kidnapped out of the city, we have been negotiating with the Dongqi people, and they have also sent people to look for you. The Qi Feng brothers were worried about the safety of the Hou Ye and wanted everyone to go out of the city to find it, and their subordinates were worried that on the ground in Eastern Qi, if they were not careful, they would cause a bigger mess, so they were strictly forbidden to act rashly and wait for the news from the Dongqi people first. ”

Qi Ning patted Wu Dalin on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You did the right thing, the more tense the situation, the more you must stay calm." Glancing at Qi Feng, he said, "You have also been on the battlefield, how can you panic, you will have to learn more from Leader Wu in the future." ”

When Qi Feng saw Qi Ning coming back, he was in a good mood, he didn't care about anything, and said with a smile: "What Master Hou said is that in the future, you will have to learn more from Team Leader Wu in everything." ”

Wu Dalin hurriedly said: "Don't dare." ”

"Team Leader Wu, what happened later?" Qi Ning sat down, tossed for most of the day, and was a little thirsty in his mouth, so he ordered Qi Feng to pour tea, and let Wu Dalin sit on the side before asking: "Beitangfeng brought assassins into the palace to assassinate, can the people of Eastern Qi be held accountable?" ”

Wu Dalin said with a smile: "Then how can there be no accountability, at that time, there were many Eastern Qi ministers who advised to control the Northern Han Mission, and also to arrest Prince Yu and Beitang Feng." However, the crown prince was calm, although the assassin was implicated in the Northern Han mission, but after all, Prince Yu was the prince of the Han Kingdom, and if he really tore his face, it would not be good for Eastern Qi. ”

Qi Ning sighed and said, "I also expected that after this incident, the people of Eastern Qi might not dare to do anything to the Han State Mission. ”

"However, the courtiers of the Eastern Qi Dynasty were dissatisfied with the Han mission." Wu Dalin said: "Prince Yu distinguishes from the court, and his words are sharp, and those ministers of Eastern Qi can't argue with him, so he is even more annoyed. Last night, the Tao Shangshu from the Eastern Qi Rite Department was still sitting on our side for a while, and in his words, he was also quite dissatisfied with the Northern Han people. ”

Qi Ning asked: "Then did you talk about the matter of cutting the land and asking for relatives later?" ”

"Nope." Wu Dalin said: "The monarch of Eastern Qi was almost assassinated, and he was in shock, after the Hou Ye left, Shen Tuluo personally escorted the monarch of Eastern Qi to leave the dynasty, and later the prince of Eastern Qi presided over it. Prince Yu and the officials of the Eastern Qi Dynasty argued, and always explained that the Northern Han Dynasty did not have the intention of assassinating the monarch of the Eastern Qi Kingdom, but Beitang Feng was flustered before and admitted that the assassin was indeed brought into the palace by him, so the Eastern Qi people grabbed this point and asked desperately, and Beitang Feng was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word later. He asked softly, "Master Hou, look at it like that, Beitangfeng really doesn't seem to know that woman is an assassin." ”

Qi Feng had already brought tea at this time, and said, "Master Hou, I see that the kid from Beitang Feng is as lustful as his life, so he was deceived by that assassin." Beitang Feng is as timid as a mouse, you must know that the woman is an assassin, and she definitely does not have the courage to take her into the palace. ”

Qi Ning thought to himself that you were in a word, and said with a smile: "I hope that Beitang Feng can leave Dongqi alive this time." Xiang Wu Dalin said: "The imperial court brought a gift to Linghu Guoxiang, and it has been difficult to send it before, so you can bring a few people to send the gift over there at night." ”

Wu Dalin agreed, and Qi Feng said on the side: "Master Hou, if the Eastern Qi people hand over the princess to the Northern Han people this time, wouldn't the gifts we sent him be wasted?" ”

"Why don't you go back and talk to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, if you don't marry the princess, return the gift to us?" Qi Ning took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Maybe those things can really come back." ”

Wu Dalin frowned and said, "Master Hou, do you really think that the Northern Han people won this time?" ”

Qi Ning put down the teacup and said, "The Northern Han people cut the land and ask for relatives, which I didn't expect in advance. Originally, I have always felt that the land of any country is fought with blood, and no one will easily cede the land, let alone the land under the condition of taking advantage of it. The Northern Han Dynasty is more than a star and a half stronger than the Eastern Qi Dynasty, who would have thought that these turtle grandsons would use such a trick. ”

Wu Dalin said: "At least my Chu State will never be like this. ”

Qi Ning asked, "Yes, what is the current situation of the Han Kingdom?" Hasn't the Han Kingdom made a prince yet? ”

Wu Dalin said: "The founding king of the Han State is Beitang Tianwu, which was originally the Chu State...... Hou Ye, the Chu State mentioned by his subordinates, is the Great Chu Empire of the previous dynasty, this Beitang family was originally a relative of the Great Chu Empire, Beitang Tianwu was sitting in Jizhou at that time, and the official title of Jizhou Mu, his two sisters, one is the queen of Chu, the other is the concubine of Chu, the holy family is honorable, and they are extremely powerful in the government and the opposition. ”

Wu Dalin knew very well in his heart that this little marquis had not been enlightened for a long time, and he had not participated in state affairs before, and now that he was asking whether there was a prince in the Han Kingdom, it was likely that he was not very clear about the history of the Han Kingdom, so he simply explained the history of the Han Kingdom, so that he could say it clearly.

At this time, someone brought pastries, Qi Ning really hadn't eaten for a long time, twisted a piece of pastry in his hand, and asked: "Since you have received such a favor, why did Beitang Tianwu rebel?" ”

"The deceased king of the Great Chu Empire has no ability to govern the country, but he likes beauty." Wu Dalin said: "He doted on the two mothers of the Beitang family earlier, and the Beitang family also grew in power because of this, but later, he doted on a concubine surnamed Tang, and set up the concubine surnamed Tang as a concubine. If that's just the case, it's fine, but the Tang family rose because of Tang Guifei, and even more wanted the emperor to abolish Empress Beitang and make Tang Guifei the queen. The battle between the palace and the palace is naturally bloody, this matter has been tossed for two years, and the queen of Beitang suddenly died, which caused a big disaster, Beitang Tianwu didn't say a word, and immediately raised troops to rebel, and played the banner of the Qing monarch's side. At that time, the power of the Beitang family was strong, the entire Great Chu Empire was unmatched, the party henchmen were everywhere, Beitang Tianwu raised his troops, the servants were like clouds, and gathered more than 100,000 soldiers and horses for a while, and killed directly to Luoyang, the foundation of the Tang family was not stable, how many soldiers and horses could be under his hands, he could only hold the emperor hostage and flee to the south, and before he crossed the Yangtze River, he was blocked by a chaotic army, and the emperor of Chu and thousands of accompanying officials were all killed on the bank of the Yangtze River, and the blood flowed like a river. ”

In this period of history, Qi Ning had heard from Xiang Baiying, and knew that the deceased king of the Great Chu Empire died on the bank of the Yangtze River.

"Beitang Tianwu occupied Luoyang, and at the beginning there was a small emperor, at that time the Great Chu Empire had existed in name only, and the little emperor was just a puppet, and in less than a few months, the little emperor wrote an edict to abdicate and make way for Xian, and Beitang Tianwu sat on the throne and established the Northern Han Empire." Wu Dalin has a lot of treasures about that period of history: "After the death of Beitang Tianwu, his eldest son inherited the throne. The successor of Beitang Tianwu was named Emperor Chongming, Emperor Chongming did not live as long as his son, and after his death, the eldest son Beitang Huan succeeded to the throne as the king, which is now Emperor Guangwu. ”

"Emperor Guangwu?" Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, and then smiled faintly: "What a big reputation." He asked, "There is a great master in the Northern Han Dynasty, do you know the Phantom Night of the Northern Hall?" ”

"Master Hou is talking about Mu Yunhou." Wu Dalin nodded and said: "Muyun Hou Beitang Phantom Night and Emperor Chongming are brothers, and they are also the sons of Beitang Tianwu, the founder of the Han Kingdom, but I don't know much about this person, I only know that he is the imperial uncle of the Emperor of the Han Kingdom, and he is a generation older than the old emperor of Guangwu, and Prince Yu has to call him an imperial uncle." ”

Qi Ning thought to himself that sure enough, this great grandmaster is an old monster, according to this calculation, Beitang Phantom Night should not be much smaller than Beigong Liancheng and Baiyun Island Lord, but he doesn't know if this Beitang Phantom Night is also like those two great grandmasters, and his face is not old.

"Beitang clan Ding Xingwang, Beitang Huan is said to have seven or eight sons, as far as his subordinates know, when Beitang Huan got the first prince, he was very excited, when even if the prince was set up as the prince, who knew that the little prince died in less than five months, and after giving birth to the second prince, Beitang Huan made him the prince, the second prince lived for a few years, but when he was five years old, the second prince practiced horseback riding, it is said that the horse was frightened, the second prince fell off the horse, and after being frightened, he died in less than three days."

Qi Ning was a little surprised, thinking that the fate of Beitang Huan was not good, so he heard Wu Dalin continue: "The two princes have died young, and Beitang Huan has never established a prince since then. He now has five princes, and Beitang Feng ranks fourth, but this Beitang Feng is from the Empress of the Northern Han Dynasty, so according to the rules of Lichu, he has the greatest possibility of inheriting the throne. ”

Qi Ning thought to himself that it was no wonder that the Northern Han Dynasty wanted to seek marriage for Beitang Feng this time, it turned out that this Beitang Feng was likely to be the successor of the Northern Han Dynasty, and couldn't help but think in his heart, if this Beitang Feng became the emperor, compared with the little emperor of Longtai of Chu State, whether these two people were resourceful or courageous, Beitang Feng was far from the little emperor of Longtai, and the two heroes competed for hegemony, only in the emperor's ring, Chu should have won.

Qi Ning ran around for a day yesterday, spent a lingering night last night, and rushed for half a day today, tossed down, but also a little tired, knowing that the monarch of Eastern Qi was stabbed yesterday, frightened, today I am afraid that I will not be able to summon foreign envoys, and now let people arrange bath water, take a bath, change into a clean and soft clothes, and then go back to the house to sleep.

When he woke up, it was already dark outside, and when he got up, he suddenly heard a whisper outside the door, as if someone was talking, frowned, and went to open the door, but saw several figures whispering in his courtyard, and heard the sound of the door opening, and several people suddenly stopped talking and came this way.

Qi Ning glanced at it and asked, "What's going on here?" ”

Qi Feng and Wu Dalin glanced at each other before they stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, something may have happened to the Northern Han Mission, and we are thinking about whether to report to Lord Hou." ”
