Chapter 761: Who Pits Whom?
There is no doubt that because the true nature of the Twelve Princesses and the Little Fat Man has been revealed, this negotiation has collapsed temporarily.
For such a result, the old lady Yue, who had been prepared, was not surprised, and he didn't even say a word to the little fat man - he really didn't want to be too harsh on the little fat man who had suffered too much impact in the past few days, not to mention, now that he is the prince, he is no longer the king of England who is not embarrassed or embarrassed, and he has made great progress in dealing with people, so he doesn't need to point fingers too much.
However, the little fat man himself was quite a little unhappy, and when the old lady Yue signaled Yue Ying to come over with his eyes, and then let the little fat man see that the henchman who was stunned once took the third prince and the twelfth princess down to settle down, he felt more and more worried, hesitated for a while, and finally explained to the old lady Yue: "Yue Xiang, just now I was too impulsive......
The little fat man was able to take the initiative to admit his mistakes without any external influence, which was absolutely impossible in the past. Therefore, for the growth of the prince of the East Palace, the old lady Yue was naturally very satisfied, and the words she said seemed to be serious, more of a comfort than a reproach: "His Royal Highness the prince doesn't have to take it too seriously, after all, it was the princess of the Yue Kingdom who was rude just now." ”
The little fat man, who thought he would be scolded severely, was suddenly relieved. But he didn't think that he was wrong at all, and then he said sarcastically: "I shouldn't have mentioned Qianqiu first......"
This time, the old lady Yue was not as pleasant as she was just now, but said with some hatred: "You must know that the matter between you and Qianqiu was shouted by people with ulterior motives to the point that everyone knows, when I returned to Bazhou before, it was easy to use high-sounding reasons to press down, and now you don't open any pot and mention which pot, don't blame Prince Yan for opening the river and giving Qianqiu such a life experience, and he also made such an idea." ”
"I know it's wrong." The little fat man was so dejected that he admitted his mistake again, but he had to ask in a low voice, "Then what should I do next?" The weather is about to get hot, and the body of Emperor Beiyan obviously can't be preserved for long, so this matter can't be delayed! ”
"Your lion's condition for opening his mouth is too straightforward. But now that everything has been said, there is no need to hide it anymore. The body of the Emperor of Northern Yan was brought back by Prince Yan, and as for the conditions, let the princess of Yue go to the Daimyo's Mansion with him and talk to the emperor in person. Didn't you tell Miss Song before that you want to chase Qianqiu as soon as possible? Send a letter to them, and we'll set off in the next two days. ”
The little fat man didn't expect the old lady Yue to be so resolute, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask, "What about you?" Still staying in this Bazhou City? ”
Old Lady Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, and did not answer this question directly, but suddenly asked: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks that Xiao Jingxian, the King of Jin, Xiao Qingqing, the Lord of Huoshan, plus Shanggong Kangle, how to deal with these three people?" ”
The little fat man has been thinking about this problem a lot these days, but now even if the old lady Yue and the eldest princess of Dongyang endorse his life experience together, and warn everyone that Emperor Wu has never doubted his life experience, but when he thinks that he has never enjoyed the love of his mother since he was sensible, he can't let go of his good impression of Xiao Jingxian.
Regardless of whether Xiao Jing was kind or malicious at first, many of his instructions were sincere and correct.
Therefore, the little fat man clenched his fists slightly, then raised his head, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Although King Jin said that he blocked General Dai and his soldiers and horses at the last moment, he did a lot of things before after all, and besides, Emperor Beiyan is his brother-in-law, and he is not capricious, rebelling again and again. ”
He knew that he was a strong word, so he didn't dare to look at the eyes of the old lady Yue, and just said to himself: "As for Xiao Qingqing, the county lord of Huoshan, the reason why Beiyan is in chaos is all because of her, but she was stopped by Miss Ling when she committed suicide before, and now she wants to shout and kill her, it seems a little unreasonable." After all, the inclusion of the Red Moon Palace in the martial arts record is almost ironclad. ”
"As for the ......," the little fat man hesitated slightly, and finally his voice became lower and lower, "She's a loyal servant. ”
Old Lady Yue sighed, and finally said lightly: "Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not what it used to be, there is one thing that you haven't figured out yet. The loyal vassals of the enemy country must be eradicated by our court. As far as our country is concerned, the powerful and traitorous ministers of the enemy country should be courted by us, and we may even make more efforts to let him eliminate those who are loyal and capable for us. ”
Seeing that the little fat man suddenly realized, but his face was very ugly, he said lightly: "So, whether it is Xiao Jingxian, Xiao Qingqing, in Beiyan sharpening the knife Huo Huo, eliminating dissidents, killing the name can stop the child's night crying, such a person I can befriend, such a national uncle like Xiao Jingxian can even promise a high position to lure him back, but Kang Le, a loyal person, can't stay." ”
The little fat man hadn't seen Kang Le twice in total, and the theory was indeed the most alien and estranged, but when he withdrew his troops back to Bazhou, the other party's mental state was as muddy as a dead man, as if he didn't even have the strength to follow it, but it made him unforgettable. Therefore, he hesitated for a moment again, and then asked in a low voice, "Let her accompany Prince Yan to escort the coffin of Emperor Beiyan back?" ”
Old Lady Yue nodded approvingly: "Being able to bury Emperor Yan, I'm afraid this is her wish." ”
Hearing the word martyrdom, the little fat man shuddered, but thinking about the impression that Kang Le woman gave him, he didn't refute it in the end. He thought that Old Lady Yue would refute his kindness to Xiao Jingxian and Xiao Qingqing next, but who knew that what he heard was not the same thing at all.
"This battle of Bazhou can have such a result, Xiao Qingqing and Xiao Jingxian have helped us a lot by mistake. Even if Xiao Jing first had ulterior motives, Xiao Qingqing didn't want to help me, but the result was already like this. So, like you said, there's no need to be too harsh on them, or even to mention more. As for the remaining guards, let them all send the coffin back. I believe that as long as Kang Le is martyred when he leaves Bazhou City, and they return to Beiyan, most people will not live alone. ”
The little fat man tasted this cold or cruel tone, and unconsciously warned himself in his heart that the two countries were at war, either life or death, and there was no room for weakness. However, even he didn't realize that he had no scruples about beating and killing people when he was a child, but now he began to cherish the lives of strangers who had nothing to do with him. After a moment of silence, he finally nodded.
"Yue Xiang is right, the loyal ministers and good generals of the enemy country are the biggest enemies that must be eliminated for our dynasty!"
The old lady Yue knew that the little fat man was a cold and cruel guy when he was a child, so he had always allowed Yue Qianqiu to interact with him in the past, but he found that people were imperceptibly imperceptible to a sense of justice a little too much, and he still couldn't help but have a little headache.
Therefore, he really didn't expect to be able to convince the prince of the East Palace soon, and he was a little surprised to find that it could go so smoothly at this time. But now that the most difficult level has passed, he is naturally a little more relaxed.
"Whether it's Xiao Jingxian or Xiao Qingqing, in Beiyan, they are not the only ones who are considered characters, but the reckless heroes in the past have no chance to rise. And the Northern Yan Dynasty is far more than two people on the left and right, and more people are just suppressed. But now that Emperor Beiyan is dead, the elite class has been swept away again, and it is conceivable that people who have been suppressed and buried will emerge all at once. ”
"The so-called troubled times are heroes because of this. Therefore, it is far from enough to let the dragons of Beiyan be leaderless and let the loyal ministers and good generals die. After all, Zizhi's rebellion forced Qi to attack Yan, and the Yan Kingdom almost perished, but Le Yi was born out of thin air, and the five countries attacked Qi. And when the life and death of the Qi State was at stake, Tian Dan also turned the tide, and finally used a counter-plot to make the Yan State a failure. ”
The little fat man suddenly realized, slapped his face and said: "So, Yue Xiang said that he can't attack Beiyan on such a large scale, so that the people who were buried before Beiyan have a chance to rise?" ”
"Not only that, in the previous battle of Bazhou, our dynasty was more passive in response to the battle, even if the three-way army came out, they did not go to Beiyan to attack the city, occupy the city, and turn around to let the body of the Emperor of Beiyan be brought back by Prince Yan, and then ask for compensation.
If they don't, they will demonstrate at the border, but they should not attack lightly when the preparations are not yet complete. In this way, the Northern Yan will not hate the same enemy because of my offensive, but compromise with each other, and immediately elect a leader. Instead, let them fight on their own! ”
The little fat man was nodding his head again and again, only to hear a cold voice suddenly sound: "You are wishful thinking, have you ever thought about it, you are calculating one after another, let me be a man?" You hurriedly sent Chiaki to the Daimyo's Mansion, did you feel that you couldn't face him at all? ”
In the face of such a voice, the old lady Yue didn't even blink his eyelids, but said to the little fat man: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, there is a person I have never officially introduced before, and now the opportunity is just right." ”
The little fat man knew that his defense seemed to be lax at this time, but the surroundings had already been guarded by the old lady Yue, so he found that the voice just now was clearly a little familiar, and he was wondering. At this moment, when the old lady Yue said this, he was even more curious. In addition to Yue Ying, what other capable person does the old lady have to introduce to himself?
However, when he saw the person who came out with a gloomy face, he couldn't help but widen his eyes like copper bells! That's not ...... Did he single-handedly try to save Emperor Beiyan's loyal minister, Xiao Changhui, the king of Lanling County? This, this, this...... Is this actually the Yue family?
"This is my youngest son, Yue Zongtang, well, most of the time, people who are familiar with him call him Yue Xiaosi."
The little fat man only felt that his eyeballs were about to fall. The youngest son of the Yue family? Yue Qianqiu's titular father, the fourth master? The husband of the daughter whom his father recognized? The king of Lanling County of Northern Yan? Wait, he's got to get this relationship right...... But this kind of chaotic thought was soon completely wiped out by a move by Yue Xiaosi.
"Don't get close to me, old man, you're pitting me!" Yue Xiaosi didn't answer his father's words at all, his eyes were bigger than the little fat man at this time, and he grabbed the shoulder of the old lady Yue in one step, "How do you let me go to see my daughter-in-law?" Aren't you afraid that she will hear the news in Jinling? Don't look at her weak and cowardly, it is possible to set the house on fire with a fire! ”
The little fat man was dumbfounded. Will Mrs. Yue Si be so powerful? Wait, why is she angry? By the way, I heard that Xiao Changhui, the king of Lanling County, used to be a concubine of Northern Yan...... Oh my God, it turns out that Mrs. Yue, who he thought was his half-sister, was not the daughter of his father, but the daughter of Emperor Beiyan!
Did the father know about this before recognizing his daughter? Looking at the appearance of the old lady at this time, my father probably knows, and my cousin Yan Xu is said to be a close brother with the person in front of him, so he should also know...... Do you know it?
The little fat man who was in a state of confusion came to a conclusion - it is likely that Yue Qianqiu also knew it completely. Finding out that he had only found out about this so late, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated and unwilling. But he still thought of the situation at this moment, and hurriedly rushed forward to drag Yue Xiaosi away, but was rudely pushed.
He staggered back two steps, and when he was about to sit on the ground, a figure flashed in front of him, and he was dragged up by someone. Seeing clearly that the person who prevented him from falling was the Yue Xiaosi who had just pushed him, he couldn't help but turn dark, but what Yue Xiaosi did next made him swallow the complaint that came to his mouth.
Because Yue Xiaosi actually slapped the non-existent floating ash on his placket twice diligently, and then said with a smile: "I quarreled with the old man, and I didn't pay attention to implicate His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm really sorry!" His Royal Highness the Prince, you and Qianqiu are all victims, today I will settle accounts with the old man on behalf of Qianqiu, just watch from the side! ”
When Yue Xiaosi helped him to stand up, then let go of his hand and turned around to go to the old lady Yue to continue settling the score, the little fat man couldn't help but stand there stupidly, looking at the-for-tat confrontation between two people who had never thought that they would be father and son before. At first, the dispute was indeed a matter of principle, but gradually it became pure anger between father and son, or anger. It can be said that he has never seen such a Yue Xiang.
Fortunately, this scene started quickly and ended faster. The old lady Yue, who had just jumped to her feet and scolded people like an old man in the market, calmed down, and asked expressionlessly: "I only ask you one thing, do you want to go back to Beiyan with Prince Yan?" ”
"If I go back with that guy, won't he suspect me every day that I'm going to use him as a puppet? I have been diligent in Beiyan for so many years, and now I just want to go back to my wife and children to hot kang! I don't want Ping'an to be sad anymore, I don't believe that since you heard about me in the north, you haven't tried to build a mountain in Beiyan! It's time for me, the king of Lanling County, to retreat! ”
"Alright then, you've done enough, don't force you." Old lady Yue said such a sentence lightly, and then glanced sideways at the little fat man who was still in a daze, and then said unhurriedly, "You, who are fathers, learn Xiao Jingxian's disguise technique, and go home to be a good husband and father who is a prodigal son." ”
didn't wait for Yue Xiaosi to thunder again, he said in an unquestionable tone: "Whether it's the emperor, me, Li Jianzhen, or even Ye Guanghan and Yu Jianzhong, when everyone was planning, they didn't expect that there would be such an ending now." In the final analysis, we are planning a great victory, not a rash war for the destruction of the country. Emperor Beiyan will die, it is a complete accident! ”
Yue Xiaosi asked unceremoniously: "Then how do you explain that Liu Jingxuan led the army to attack for a long time, and did not appear on the battlefield at a critical moment after that, and Dai Jinglan desperately wanted to kill the Northern Yan Emperor?" ”
This is also the question that the little fat man wanted to know the most before. At the moment, even he couldn't help but secretly stare at the old lady Yue. I don't know how long it took, but he finally waited for an answer.
"Liu Jingxuan really wants to repay the kindness of Emperor Beiyan, but it's a pity that he has a good son! As for Dai Jinglan, what he wanted was to serve his family and country, so when he noticed the clues, he had to work hard to smooth things out. He didn't want the two brothers to be poked in the back and scolded for being capricious traitors, so he would rather be scolded for being ungrateful than kill the Northern Yan Emperor! ”
"Liu Jingxuan and Dai Jinglan were sent back to Dayan by you with great difficulty, but now who do you think is plucking whom?"
