Chapter 668: Twins, You're Big!
Yue Qianqiu's first reaction was that Xiao Jing was telling a joke first.
The moody, self-reliant emperor of Beiyan, whose eyes are above the top, will be assassinated? Fool the ghost! I'm afraid that the emperor, who is more neurotic than Xiao Jingxian, released this news to attract some brain-dead guys to jump out and die, and then catch them all, right? Xiao Jing is not shocking first, waiting for him to be angry, and then give him a big turn, right?
Xiao Jing saw that Yue Qianqiu's expression was calm, knowing what people were thinking, and he felt helpless that he had little credibility left. However, he was not annoyed, and said with a slight smile: "Because it is a flying pigeon to pass the book, and it has to be prevented from being discovered, and there is a transfer on the road, so it is a little slower, but they wrote the details on the silk silk as thin as a cicada's wings, which is also detailed." β
He told the story of the eldest princess jumping out that day and going to the Beiyan Emperor to be hit by a dark arrow, and at the end he said meaningfully: "Xiao Changhui thought it was the eldest princess instructed by Lou Yingchang at first, but what he didn't expect was that the eldest princess was indeed jealous and provoked, so she jumped out stupidly, but was humiliated by her father. But the real killer weapon is elsewhere, and the arrow that shot the Northern Yan Emperor is likely to be poisonous. Because it is said that he is still unconscious. β
If it weren't for Yue Xiaosi and Zhen Rong, Yue Qianqiu would definitely listen to this incident casually as a strange story, but since he knew that the two of them were at the scene at the time, he only felt a sigh in his heart, and his face was extremely ugly. Knowing that Xiao Jingxian would definitely be aware of the clues, he couldn't help but ask viciously: "Don't just say half of what you say!" What happened in the end? β
And Zhou Jiyue was also surprised, knowing that Yue Qianqiu was not only worried about Zhen Rong, but Xiao Jingxian was unfathomable at this time, she was afraid that these two people would not be good and would fight each other, so she had to ask: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the matter is serious, please don't hide it." What happened? β
This time, Xiao Jingxian asked with a smile: "You two guess?" β
Yue Qianqiu was not interested in accompanying Xiao Jing to play the guessing game at this time, and immediately sneered: "What is there to guess here!" Anyway, either the imperialist party has the upper hand, or the anti-thieves succeed, and at most both sides will lose. I only want to know two things, one is what happened to Zhen Rong, and the other is that the Northern Yan Emperor has been assassinated, is the new prince of the third prince dead or alive? β
"I didn't expect that Qianqiu, in addition to Zhen Rong, what you care about the most is that kid." Xiao Jingxian looked indifferently at the guards at the gate of the palace who didn't know whether to come up or not, and showed a mocking smile.
"With Xiao Changheng and Zhen Rong here, although the new prince of Beiyan was powerless, he was lucky to be unharmed in the end. It's just that no one expected that Xu Houcong, who was on duty outside the hall to prevent the guards from being bribed, would defect at a critical moment.
If it weren't for Xiao Changheng's subordinates who raised a group of powerful private soldiers, Zhen Rong's desperate cavalry was also quite powerful, and it had already been set up in the palace because of the words of Emperor Beiyan, and Xu Houcong's son and daughter actually fell to his side with a group of Shengong Sect disciples because of Zhen Rong's life-saving grace, and the palace was almost unable to defend it. β
When Yue Qianqiu was in the capital of Beiyan at that time, he and Yue Xiaosi started in two places, one bright and one dark, and successfully turned Xu Houcong, the master of the Shengong Gate, from the performance benchmark set by the Autumn Hunting Division, into a major real power figure in Beiyan.
But in the final analysis, Yue Qianqiu's original plan to go to Beiyan by the order of the old lady Yue was not this, but to kill Xu Houcong. Later, he revised the plan, intending to involve people in the political struggle of the Northern Yan and then die without a place to be buried, as a warning to those in the south who might have the intention of defecting.
As for the later mistakes, Xu Houcong was helped up, and Yue Xiaosi was used easily, and even made Wang Jingnan's father and son full of blood because of this, it was not a plan, but the result of the plan not changing quickly. In his opinion, there is no real genius in this world who is so clever that it is seamless, and there are only people who can adapt to the situation.
Of course, the most important thing is that the purpose of the emperor and the old lady Yue was never just Xu Houcong, but Xiao Jingxian, which he only knew until the last moment......
However, Yue Qianqiu really didn't expect that this time the Beiyan Palace change was also dazzling. Xu Houcong's defection is understandable, but Xu Houcong's son and daughter actually took a group of disciples and broke with their father, who was the head of the sect? What the hell is this?
Although he felt that this was a bit abnormal, and even doubted whether those people were acting, he was not so sure of Zhen Rong's methods, but he still had some confidence in Yue Xiaosi's thief and cheap father. It's just that, of course, he won't question this, but ridiculed Xu Houcong's betrayal again.
"Xu Houcong, this guy first rebelled against Dawu, and then betrayed the Northern Yan Emperor, does this want to be a slave with three surnames? I'm afraid that the eldest princess can't subdue this kind of ambitious person, let alone those princes of Beiyan, at least when I was in Shangdu, I saw the arrogant second ancestor, and I didn't find any great characters. The silent left and right thoughts don't come to the city. Since His Royal Highness the King of Jin said that the report you got is very detailed, then you can tell me, whose dog has Xu Houcong become now? β
This time, Xiao Jingxian didn't play any more guessing games, he restrained the joking expression that he had just joking, and said lightly: "It's my sister." β
What the hell is this? Yue Qianqiu's eyes widened instantly, staring at Xiao Jingxian without blinking, seeing that the person didn't take back the preface at all, he couldn't help but have a toothache: "Are you sure that Xu Houcong is behind the Empress Wenwu?" Not Xiao Qingqing? β
"Of course I can't confirm it, but they said so in the report to me."
Zhou Jiyue frowned slightly, and just happened to see a few guards over there, as if she was a little puzzled by what they were talking about, so she came to inquire about it, she thought about the messy plot at the moment, and it was also a headache for herself, so she simply gave Yue Qianqiu a look to give you here, and dealt with those guards in the past.
And Xiao Jingxian looked at Zhou Jiyue thoughtfully, and then took a step forward, once again shortening the distance between him and Yue Qianqiu.
"After all, I am in Jinling, even if I still leave some people in Beiyan, I don't know how much loyalty is left, and you know, I left all those guards in the palace, there will always be people who are cold about my methods, whether they will be bribed or even instructed, I don't know."
You know that people will be cold, so you should arrange it better before leaving, and I don't believe that you can't do this with your demonic ability! It's not an ulterior motive that has a ghost!
Yue Qianqiu slandered again and again, but his mouth was not salty and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is a little arrogant. With your means, it's not easy for people to die for you when people aren't there? β
"It's not presumptuous. It's that I'm no longer in Beiyan, whether it's my sister or Xiao Qingqing's methods, it's not something that my subordinates can contend with. Even if it's just Xiao Qingqing under the banner of my sister, they can't tell the difference. β
"Listen to what you mean, more than ten years have passed, and the appeal of the Empress Wenwu is still quite big? But others don't care, Xu Houcong is not from Beiyan, he will not take refuge easily just because a person who has long been buried in the grave appears. He is already a powerful figure in Beiyan, and the third prince may not abandon him after becoming the crown prince, what is the benefit of mixing with your sister? β
Xiao Jingxian didn't care about Yue Qianqiu's ridicule, and replied patiently: "Xu Houcong is indeed a high-ranking official who looks very glamorous now, but there are a few disciples of his Divine Bow Sect who are under the hands of Xiao Changheng of the Autumn Hunting Division, but he can't promote one on his own side." In other words, he is a bare-bones general. As for how my sister, or the person who claimed to be my sister, promised him, although the letter did not say it, I could guess a thing or two. β
"For example, I will reuse not only your Divine Bow Gate, but also your children and disciples. Of course, when Xu Houcong agreed, he definitely didn't expect that his sons and daughters and disciples would turn to Zhen Rong when he defected. β
The more Qianqiu listened, the more suspicious he became, not that Xiao Jingxian's explanation was wrong, but that he thought in his heart that Xiao Jingxian had never been willing to explain to others. But since the other party is so patient, he is happy to continue to sing against Xiao Jingxian: "Not to mention how Xu Houcong believes that it is the Empress of Wenwu, even if it is, how can she guarantee the fulfillment of her promise?" β
Xiao Jingxian said bluntly: "It's very simple, as long as she says it, she will break the stereotype and ascend the throne as the emperor." β
Seeing that Yue Qianqiu was already dumbfounded, he couldn't help but smile slightly: "Men's needs are different, some people like to be tender like water, some people like to be clever and charming, some people like to be empathetic, and some people like to be light like fairies...... Of course, there are also people who like a strong and capable person who can stand side by side with them, rather than just hiding behind them. My brother-in-law, Emperor Beiyan, is the last kind of person. I've always wondered if my sister died after him, would she be in the dynasty first, and then reign in the world. β
Yue Qianqiu was very unimpressed. The Sui Dynasty did not become a short-lived dynasty, but dominated the world, and the country lasted for two hundred years, so the empress Wu Zetian of the first generation of people also gave the butterfly. However, even if the queen of Beiyan did not die so early, she could not give birth to her own children, and she despised those low-status concubines and concubines too much, and she could not change the second Wu Zetian.
From ancient times to the present, the queens and even the queen mothers who can govern almost without exception have their own sons or adopted sons - even if it is the perverted dynasty of the Northern Wei Dynasty, there is no queen mother, then there is a mother as the queen mother......
No son or nominal son, but still want to stay in power for a long time? It was almost a dream. After all, this is a patriarchal society! Moreover, if people's eyes are too high, it is not called ambitious, it is called ambitious!
Therefore, he no longer had the heart to continue to discuss such a funny thing with Xiao Jingxian, and turned his head to Nunu in the direction of the palace: "Ji Yue and I just sent the prince of Jiawang into the palace with Ying Xiaopang before, and at this time, including the emperor, everyone is in the Baofu Palace, since you have brought such unprecedented news, please hurry into the palace to report." Anyway, even if Beiyan turns the sky upside down, it has nothing to do with me. β
Seeing that Yue Qianqiu said this, he raised his hand and left with a move towards Zhou Jiyue, Xiao Jingxian squirmed his lips, and then a clear voice sounded in the ears of Yue Qianqiu, who was striding away: "You really didn't think that you and King Ying are twin sons, and their fathers have their own people?" β
Twins, you're big! Do you want to say that one child is the Northern Yan Emperor's and the other is the Southern Wu Emperor's? Do you think this is a holy tradition?
Thinking of the jade bracelet that Yue Ying took to dig the grave at that time, and the jade bracelet that came out of Ding An's bones, and the short words on the silk handkerchief in the jade bracelet, Yue Qianqiu didn't mean to stop at all, and his face was full of sneers when he turned his back to Xiao Jingxian.
It's not that he uses the greatest malice to speculate about the former queen, even if he and the little fat man have stayed by people's side, even if he is really taken away by Ding An from people, even if the little fat man was sent to the Great Wu Palace by someone, maybe no matter which of the two of them, they have nothing to do with her and the imperial families of the Northern Yan and Southern Wu dynasties.
Some people are dying and their words are good, and some people are dying and they are going crazy!
Therefore, Empress Wenwu must be dead, and now the one who is making waves in Beiyan is ...... is definitely only Xiao Qingqing, who knows the emperor and queen of Beiyan best, and also knows Beiyan and Nanwu very well, there is no second person.
Asked Zhou Jiyue to get on the horse and leave, and left the palace far away after a while, Yue Qianqiu walked through the streets and alleys familiarly, and finally when he stopped his horse, he only heard Zhou Jiyue behind him ask: "Qianqiu, what are we doing in Xuanlong Division?" At this time, I'm afraid General Yan is not here, right? β
"I'm not here to find Master." Yue Qianqiu took a breath lightly, and then said in a low voice, "I just took advantage of his absence to find Cheng Qianqian." Ji Yue, you help me cover up, while Master, Du Zhutou and Han Du know that these three people are not there, even if I fake the holy decree today, I have to find her out and ask some things clearly! Let's go through the Xuanlong Division first! β
In the past, he still underestimated that woman, and her relationship with some people in Beiyan was definitely extraordinarily deep!
Although Zhou Jiyue hadn't listened to the conversation between Xiao Jingxian and Yue Qianqiu before, she still heard the most critical part clearly. Yan Xu had also said before that she was able to go to the Jiawang Mansion in time because of Cheng Qianqian's words, and at this time, she did not find the root cause, but nodded happily.
Maybe it was Yan Xu's orders to the subordinates, maybe it was Yue Qianqiu's special identity, although the Xuanlong Division was also an important place, but Yue Qianqiu and Zhou Jiyue were unimpeded after entering the door. Yue Qianqiu seemed to be swaggering all the way in, but his eyes had been paying attention to the people around, and when he finally found an acquaintance who had met a few times, he glanced at Zhou Jiyue and walked up quickly.
However, in a few words, he was extremely good at clichΓ©s, and asked Cheng Qianqian's whereabouts from the other party, and then sent away the captain who still had something to do with a smile, and then he turned around and came to Zhou Jiyue, his face was completely clouded.
"That woman is not in the Xuanlong Division, nor in the Wude Division, but in the Chief Capture Division."
