Chapter 274: Scared away
Li Changzheng left, and he walked very simply, compared to staying in the mansion to accompany Ji Qingchen and the commander of the 30,000 elite cavalry, and not letting Ji Qingchen be threatened because of the mistake of this elite cavalry, he would rather choose the latter road. And when Li Changzheng handed over a very ordinary war knife used by Northern Liao soldiers to the crown princess, the crown princess was a little moved, and her body trembled slightly, because she knew the meaning of Ji Qingchen's knife to her, the first is to tell her that it is Ji Qian who wants to borrow a knife to kill people, so that she can distinguish right from wrong, and don't let Ji Qian use it, the second meaning is that your princess wants to be unfavorable to me, and my Northern Liao war knife is not a vegetarian, today I am giving you a knife, and next time it is estimated that it will not be a knife, but hundreds of thousands of knives, and there is also a threat in it, because since Ji Qingchen decided to let the "inner factory" completely lurk, he will become a blind man in the future, and if he does not deter the crown princess in such a situation, it will be very unfavorable to Ji Qingchen if he lets this woman mess around.
When the crown princess received the war knife sent by Li Changzheng to the East Palace, she also had Wei Ran and Ji Zhao by her side.
"Ji Qingchen, what does this mean?" Wei Ran said angrily, Bing Xue is smart, how can she not understand what Ji Qingchen means, she just wants to use the excuse to force Li Changzheng to make concessions, and she can not lose to the Northern Liao Mansion in terms of momentum. But she was wrong about what kind of person Li Changzheng was, this lord was no wilder and unrestrained than Bai Xiangcheng, otherwise he would not have been taken by Ji Qingchen's side. Therefore, when he heard Wei Ran's shouting and reprimand, Li Changzheng was not angry, but just said in a stern tone, "What do you mean?" Could it be that Miss Wei Ran doesn't know what to do? Or do you want to pretend to be confused even if you know the truth? Since you are so ignorant, Li Changzheng might as well tell you a piece of news, no matter how many dead soldiers you Wei have, you can't stand such a blind toss, and I hope that Miss Wei can use it carefully, Beiliao and Beirong have no shortage of such swords, and there is no shortage of sword-wielding people, let alone samurai who kill these dead soldiers. ”
"You-" Li Changzheng said about the dead soldiers of Beiliao and Beirong, Wei Ran's momentum suddenly weakened, and he was speechless with anger, and could only glare at Li Changzheng angrily. Seeing this, the crown princess on the side also asked lightly, "General Li, you seem to be the grandson of Li Muzhi's privy envoy, and now Li's privy envoy is not in agreement with the king of Northern Liao!" ”
The crown princess's words are suspected of sowing discord, and I feel that Li Changzheng will definitely have some careful thoughts.
However, what Li Changzheng said to her was even more absolute, "Grandfather asked me to swear allegiance to the king of Northern Liao, otherwise he would know my disloyalty and injustice, and said that he would see my head with his own hands, is the crown princess satisfied with this answer?" ”
"Hmph - very satisfied! Very satisfied! Even the crown princess had nothing to say, so she could only hold back her anger, and quietly listened to Li Changzheng's arrogant and domineering words, and her face turned very pale and ugly after leaving the East Palace.
"It's too much to deceive, too arrogant, too domineering!" Ji Zhao on the side scolded, just now he didn't want to speak, but was shocked by Li Changzheng's momentum, and now that Li Changzheng left, he was relieved, but he also scolded.
"Now that Ji Qingchen has been imprisoned in the palace, I didn't expect his subordinates to be so arrogant and fearless-" The crown princess thought for a moment and said lightly, "It seems that Ji Qingchen still has a killer weapon, we can't underestimate him!" ”
"What do you mean, sister?" Wei Ran asked.
"Give up this operation!" The crown princess sighed, "It's not worth it!" ”
"Mother?" Ji Zhao was dissatisfied, how could he give up such a good opportunity? I still wanted to fight for it, but I heard the crown princess say, "No matter how good the opportunity is, you have to have the life to fight for it, compared to your own life, such an opportunity is nothing." ”
"Mother-"
"Go down!" The crown princess yelled.
"No!" Ji Zhao had no choice but to withdraw from the hall dissatisfied.
"Why would my sister make such a decision?" Wei Ran asked, she felt that her side was only more scared back than a Northern Liao knife, which was a bit too much, right? Besides, as long as Ji Qingchen is punished slightly, Ji Zhao can be made into a domain, and he can still have the power of more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, which is indeed an irresistible temptation!
"Northern Liao knife, do you know how many such knives there are in Northern Liao?" The crown princess asked meaningfully.
"The Northern Liao cavalry is basically equipped with such a combat knife, and it seems that there are hundreds of thousands of handles." Wei Ran asked puzzledly, "Why is my sister asking this?" ”
"No, no, no, there is only one war knife in Northern Liao, which is the 600,000 army in Ji Qingchen's hands, and they are the Northern Liao knife in Ji Qingchen's hands." The crown princess explained, "And today Li Changzheng left the Northern Liao Palace, giving us this war knife, does this mean?" Li Changzheng is Ji Qingchen's personal guard captain, and he left the house at this time for only one purpose, which is to control the 30,000 elite cavalry in the Kunshan military camp. If we cooperated with Ji Qian, Ji Qingchen would suffer a loss this time, and we would have successfully made Ji Qian fulfill his promise. With Li Changzheng's 30,000 elite horses outside King's Landing, do you think Ji Zhao can safely reach the domain? ”
Seeing Wei Ran's frightened look, the crown princess continued, "When Ji Zhao dies, not only will Ji Qian and the three kings not investigate who the murderer is? I'm afraid it's still a celebration, right? Because Ji Zhao is dead, they have one less potential opponent, although in their eyes, Ji Zhao still can't pose a threat to them. ”
"Wouldn't it? Will Ji Qingchen act so ruthlessly? Wei Ran was also a little incredulous.
"Don't forget, for the sake of Princess Anle, he killed hundreds of people from the embassy sent by Dayan to leave the country, didn't he dare to kill a Ji Zhao who had no power and no qualifications?" The crown princess asked in a cold tone.
"Sister, how did you guess this?" Wei Ran looked at his sister with a little admiration and asked.
Indeed, the crown princess can analyze this step, which shows her talent in power and strategy, but unfortunately she is a daughter.
"It's different who will send such an ordinary knife, do you have to go out in person?" The crown princess said, "Isn't this the warning of Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao, to us?" ”
After speaking, she smiled miserably and said, "Even if he is imprisoned in the palace, we still can't fight him!" ”
This sentence is bitter, a little unwilling, and has the taste of complaining.
But it can't be helped! On these two sides, the Shangzhou Wei clan did not achieve any good results against Shangji Qingchen, so the crown princess sighed like this.
"Sister-" Wei Ran wanted to comfort the crown princess, but he didn't know what to say, so he stopped and spoke, but stood quietly beside the crown princess.
"Don't worry! It's not over yet, and I can afford to wait. One day, I will definitely get what should belong to Ji Zhao. The crown princess said, her eyes full of unwavering looks, this is a woman's determination, this is a woman's oath.
And on the third day after Li Changzheng left the palace, the imperial court finally punished Ji Qingchen's actions in the palace, that is, extended the period of imprisonment to ten years.
This was Cui Jingsheng's proposal, which was supported by Li Muzhi, and the three kings did not fight for Ji Qingchen because of their selfishness, so this resolution was quickly passed through the political hall and the Privy Council, submitted to the queen's book, got the queen's instructions, and soon reached the Northern Liao Palace.
And Ji Qingchen had long expected such a result, so he didn't have much surprise, just put the holy decree aside and rode to the polo field. The eunuch who delivered the decree was left on the side, and it was not to go, nor was it to go. And Ji Qingchen did this because this holy decree was not issued by Emperor Yan, but by the queen, and he had no good impression of the queen, and he was very disgusted, so naturally he would not treat the queen's holy decree respectfully.
However, the holy decree has been issued, the punishment has been done, and the arrogant Empress Cui of Ji Qingchen has not been held accountable. In fact, she is also very busy, so her son Ji Qian's wedding date is coming, as a mother, she is ready to hold a luxurious and luxurious wedding for Ji Qian, so she spends her mind on this.
As for the three kings, they didn't do anything during this time, but they were just deploying their plans step by step, and Queen Cui, Cui Jingsheng and Ji Qian also had no time to take care of anything else because of the wedding, so the court was in a relatively quiet state during this period of time.
And Ji Qian didn't say anything about the failure of the crown princess and Wei's plan against Ji Qingchen. Because of Ji Qingchen's strength, he knows better than the crown princess, even if the crown princess and the Shangzhou Wei clan fail, he feels that there is no fuss. In addition, after this experience, he felt that other people's strength was someone else's, not his own, so he gradually began to strengthen his own strength, because he also had a rebellious heart towards the queen and Cui Jingsheng.
It's just that this marriage was set by the queen and Cui Jingsheng, and the purpose was to marry the Li family. Therefore, it is useless for him to oppose it, so he can only endure it. Who told him to rely on others now? And because of this, Gu Qi, a confidant strategist, has a higher status in his mind, and the role of the two like Cui Fang and Ning Bai in Ji Qian's heart is also greater.
And in such a dull day of intrigue, Ji Qian, the eighth prince of the southern king of Dayan Town, ushered in his wedding, and his wife was Li Xianglan, the daughter of Li Muzhi, who was the woman personally selected by the queen.
This kind of wedding is very luxurious, because it is the queen who is running it, and the scale is second only to the prince's wedding. This is what the queen wants to tell the ministers that only her son is qualified to inherit the crown prince and be the prince of Dayan, and the rest of the princes are not with her, because they are not concubines.
It's a pity that for this wedding, the effect is not very ideal.
Because Ji Qingchen was imprisoned, the three kings just gave a gift and left in a hurry, without even attending the wedding banquet. And the rest of the forces that were attached to the three kings were embarrassed to laugh anymore when they saw this, and just left in a hurry after congratulating Ji Qian. ended in such an almost cold way, which made the queen unexpected, and also gave the queen a head start, making her know that her strength was not as strong as she usually thought, and there were still people who dared to be her enemies.
