Chapter 876 - Self-directed and Self-Acting (1)
In the past few days, King Xian has been in a good mood, and he gets up early every day, and the secret agent Jiang Hao hurriedly enters the palace to report:
"King, something happened ......"
King Xian motioned to the palace maid who combed her hair to step back, got up with her hair in a messy bun and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"Last night, the envoy of the eldest grandson and his accompanying guards were beaten by an unknown black-clothed masked man."
"Hit? ...... "King Xian's scalp was numb, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there a death?" ”
"That's not true, but the eldest grandson's envoy has two front teeth knocked out, and now he is paralyzed in the pavilion."
"Didn't the widow already let the Marquis of Yongxing supervise this matter, how could he still let the patriotic thieves be so rampant!"
"King, I'm afraid this matter was done by the Marquis of Yongxing. According to the news from the Marquis of Dingyang, the Marquis of Yongxing had already asked the Sima Mansion of the city government to turn a blind eye in recent days, so the beating of the eldest grandson's envoy must have been done by the Marquis of Yongxing. ”
He ...... Oh...... The widow understood, he didn't think it was a big deal. Go, go to the Yongxing Hou Mansion quickly, and ask the Yongxing Hou how he plans to end. ”
"No!"
At about the beginning of the hour, the sky was just dawning, Bailiyan got up early in the morning for dinner, Wei Qi waited aside, nibbled on steamed buns and drank soy milk, and said while eating:
"Master Hou, is the barbarian's words easy to learn?"
"Why, you want to learn from Jin Xuedi to speak."
"No, the subordinates think that there are clearly two kinds of people, how can they know what the other party is saying."
"It's easy to say, it's hard to say, if it's two kinds of people who have never met, they naturally can't understand what they say. The Central Plains and the Jinxuedi people have been at war for hundreds of years, and the Central Plains has been taken captive by them, and we have captured them. ”
"What if you get it wrong?"
"It's not nothing, the culture of the Jin Xuedi people and the Central Plains people is very different, their language is not as beautiful as my Central Plains language, and many times what they say cannot be expressed in the Central Plains style, but the Central Plains style can clearly express their meaning, so the Central Plains people are much smarter than them."
"Oh......"
Wei Qi responded, but in fact, he still seemed to understand.
While the two were talking, a soldier came to report:
"Master Hou, Mr. Jiang has arrived."
"Ask him to come over."
"No."
After cleaning up the breakfast, Bai Liyan stood up and waited in the courtyard, he knew that Jiang Hao must have come here for last night.
"Manager Jiang came early in the morning, but the king was urgently called."
"Marquis Yongxing, last night the envoy of the eldest grandson and his entourage were beaten on the night road, do you know?"
"Oh...... This matter was done by Ben Hou, and Mr. Jiang came for this matter? ”
When Jiang Hao heard the news, he felt like he had eaten a yellow lotus, and his face was bitter as if he had died of his mother:
"Marquis Yongxing, how can you hide such a big event from the king, this is beating the envoys of other countries, and spreading it so that the king can explain to the countries."
"Hey, if you don't say it, I won't say it, who can know. Besides, there were so many such beatings and intimidations in the middle of the month, and the princes who did it knew very well in their hearts. ”
"Hiss......" Jiang Hao was shocked: "Yongxing Hou is this a false accusation?" ”
"It's not enough to plant blame, just add a torch and send the patriots on the road. Tired of the head of Jiang replied to the king, he was going to visit the Changsun Pavilion today, so he would not enter the palace. ”
"Alright then, I'm going to take my leave."
Sending Jiang Hao away, Bailiyan summoned Wei Qi:
"What does Master Hou command?"
"Go and get my medicine box."
"No."
The eldest grandson envoy was broken two front teeth, in fact, it is not a big deal, modern people fight and brawl to say that two front teeth, even if a mouth of teeth are lost, there are many people.
However, when the subordinates cherish their own body is like cherishing gold, it is already a great shame to be knocked out two front teeth, and the envoy of the eldest grandson must be looking for justice from King Xian, and he must first go to block it, so as not to find King Xian unhappy.
When the horse drove to the Changsun Pavilion Station, the outside of the Pavilion was already impassable, and because of the victim businessmen of the Changsun Kingdom last night, there were many people who came to the door to ask for justice today. Of course, in addition to the merchants of the Changsun Kingdom, there are also those of the Jin Kingdom, the Zhiguo Kingdom, the Liang Kingdom, and the Xian Kingdom, but the Changsun Kingdom is the key object of greeting.
The hall was overcrowded, and when King Xian heard the news that the envoy of Changsun had been beaten, he had asked Nuo Yiyan to come to appease him. Seeing Baili Yan coming, Nuo Yiyan hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"These thieves are so rampant, hundreds of people were beaten in one night, it's really rampant!"
"Yes, even the eldest grandson's envoy didn't let go, it's really hateful. I wonder how the eldest grandson's envoy is injured? ”
"It's all skin wounds, but it's not fatal, but I broke two front teeth, and I am resentful in my heart, and I am afraid that I will be angry with my king."
Ben Hou was also worried about this, so he came to visit. In this way, Ben Hou will try his style first. ”
After finishing speaking, Bai Liyan went to the residence of the eldest grandson envoy with the medicine box, and was stopped by the eldest grandson's guards when he arrived outside the door:
"Who's coming?"
"In the Xia Xian Kingdom, Si Nong, I learned that your envoy was unfortunately in trouble and came to visit, and I bothered you to make a note on your behalf."
"Wait!"
The leader of the soldiers was unhappy, thinking that he must have resented the beating of the brothers last night.
After a few moments, the first soldier came out of the house:
"Your Excellency, please, Dasi Nong, please come in."
"There are a few brothers."
Bai Liyan pretended to be polite and walked into the house with a medicine box. Passing through the outer hall and the middle hall, and coming to the inner hall, the envoy of the eldest grandson sat in front of several cases, covering a piece of white cotton cloth with blood in front of his mouth, and a few large bruises floating on his face.
Seeing the eldest grandson's envoy Chai Xiang, Bailiyan raised his hand and gave a slight salute:
"This morning, I heard that Lord Chai was conspired by a villain last night, which is really a dereliction of duty in my Xianguo, Ben Hou is deeply sorry, and I specially come from greeting Lord Chai for his injury." As she spoke, Bai Liyan put down the medicine box and took out a 100-milliliter brown glass medicine bottle from it: "Ben Hou is a little better at medicine, this is the best medicine for injuries in my Xian country, Lord Chai might as well give it a try." ”
Chai Xiang took the medicine bottle and looked at it twice, although he was an envoy of a country, he was dazzled by the tricks that Xianguo had played in recent years, but he knew very well that the drugs that could be put into this brown glass bottle were all good medicines.
Enduring the pain in his gums, removing the white cloth covering his lips, Chai Xiang said in a deep voice:
"There is Lao Yongxinghou who bothered to send such a good medicine."
"The murder of Lord Chai is a dereliction of duty by my Xianguo, and if we shirk responsibility and ignore it, it will be a loss of decency."
Due to the grievances accumulated by the Yongxing Incident and the Battle of the Black Turban, the relationship between the eldest grandson and Xianguo fell to the lowest point in history, and Chai Xiang was not satisfied with Bailiyan's rhetoric.
"In the past few days, our subjects have been repeatedly attacked and harassed by mobs, and hundreds of people have been injured as a result, and instead of strictly investigating Xiaoxiao, you Xianguo have connived at such evil thieves to attack and harass the envoys, how rampant it is, you have premeditated it in advance, and used fishing nets and other inferior means to sneak attack in the dark night, which is simply shameless."
"Yes, yes, what Lord Chai said is extremely true, this group of thieves is indeed shameless, and I will definitely bring them to justice and hand them over to your country for disposal." Bai Liyan echoed casually, he didn't care about scolding himself, and at this time, Chai Xiang must have thought that he was more of a poisonous hand under the defense of the country.
"Hmph, beating our subjects and insulting the envoy, does King Xian want to forget it?"
Seeing that Chai Xiang had already taken the bait, Bai Liyan pretended to be and said:
"What does Nachai-sama mean ......"
"This time the barbarians came to trade, Xianguo was originally a state, but several times there were three rampant changes, and now the transaction is smooth, this is also it. Now he knows that the evil thieves are rampant in the Lingling, but he does not stop it, but makes the thieves even more arrogant, causing the envoy to be bedded, and the envoy must seek justice from the king of Xian, otherwise this matter will never be settled! ”
"This ......" Bai Liyan pretended to be embarrassed, paused for a moment and continued: "Lord Chai is in trouble, it is true that my Xianguo is not, but this makes the two countries fight each other, this is child's play." ”
"Hmph, Yongxing Hou means to let this envoy suffer this shame and humiliation, so he can't swallow his anger!" Chai Xiang asked, the displeasure and anger on his face became more and more intense.
"What does Chai-sama want?"
"I wanted King Xian to give an explanation, it's just reasonable, I can't say it, this matter is not played."
"Oh...... Ben Hou understood, so he asked Lord Chai to recuperate in the pavilion, Ben Hou must pass it on to my king, and he will definitely give Lord Chai a satisfactory answer, and Ben Hou has resigned. ”
Raising his hand to give a salute, Bai Liyan turned around and withdrew. Nuo Yiyan had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Bailiyan coming out, he stepped forward and asked:
"Yongxing Hou, what did Chai Xiang say."
"He didn't talk to Lord Nuo about anything else?"
"He only said that he wanted to see my king, and he did not say anything else. Why, he still wants to play on the topic? ”
"Hmm." Bai Liyan nodded, twisted his short beard and then said: "Chai Xiang asked my king to give an explanation, Ben Hou thought that he wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail our country. ”
"No one knows the inside story of this matter, it is clear that Wei Ren did it, and it is too shameless."
"Even if Wei Ren did it, no one said what was the use of breaking this matter, and the more important thing was that the princes did not want to offend Wei Guo at the moment, and no one dared to say it, which gave Chai Xiang a verbal blackmail. If he can't satisfy his wishes, although the lord of the eldest grandson will not start a war, finding some trouble on the North Sea is enough for our country to work for half a day.
In this way, Ben Hou will go to other pavilions to visit again, and Lord Nuo will return to the court first and report the matter to the king. ”
"Well, everything has Lao Da Sima."
The reason why Chai Xiang did not make blackmail in front of Promise Yiyan was because Promise Yiyan was not weighty enough to achieve his goal, so Chai Xiang originally planned to go to the DPRK to make a big fuss and find some sense of existence.
But now that Bailiyan is here, this weight is no longer enough for him to have the courage to go to the court to make a big show, and make a straightforward request, and he is afraid of being slapped in the face by Bailiyan, so he simply hints inside and out to let Bailiyan weigh it himself. Especially the beating of foreign envoys themselves, Xianguo was at a loss, which was enough for the eldest grandson to justifiably crusade against Xianguo.
Leaving the Changsun Pavilion Station, Bai Liyan continued to go to other princes' pavilions to appease his emotions, which showed the weight of the word "prestige". Nuo Yiyan is in charge of foreign affairs, but after all, he is only a civilian official, and he only talks by lip service, and sometimes it does not work. At critical moments, it is also necessary for people who can be civil and martial to come forward to calm dissatisfaction.
There were many victims overnight, and the Wei envoy learned the news and wondered for a long time, he did not instruct the thugs to intercept Chai Xiang and commit violence, but now someone has done this, and even more so than him, the Wei envoy only thought that someone else was secretly not on good terms with the eldest grandson, but he never thought that it was a conspiracy directed and acted by the Xianguo people.
