269, Awakening and Seeking Marriage
The news of the assassination of the Emperor Taishang blew into every household in the capital like the wind.
Later, as Gu Nian and Xiao Yue thought, there were many discussions, and some said that the emperor was innocent, if it was really that kind of person, it would be impossible for the emperor to pass the throne to him.
Some people also say that knowing people and faces but not knowing their hearts, the emperor is blind.
Princess Yunsha has been staying in the room nervously, after Yun Mao told her the facts, she began to regret it, why did she listen to those people's provocations, when the emperor knew everything she had done, what would happen to her? Will the people of the country be affected by her?
For a while, Princess Yunsha regretted it a lot.
She wanted to enter the palace to confess, but Yun Mao didn't let her go out.
"Princess, Your Majesty Dongli has summoned you and the crown prince." Her handmaid pushed the door in, her face a little panicked.
Princess Yunsha stood up suddenly, and saw the Dongli eunuch standing in the courtyard through the crack in the door, and barely squeezed out a smile,
"Wait for me to change my clothes."
For the summons of His Majesty the Emperor Dongli, she was both expecting and afraid.
With the emperor's summons, Yun Mao didn't dare to stop her from going out.
The fear is, if she really said something wrong, will Yun Mao not let her go? Compared with Yun Mao, she is more afraid of affecting the people of the slippery country.
The eunuch who came to summon did not urge Princess Yunsha, but just waited until she went out, and raised her eyebrows, "The princess moves neatly, don't let the emperor wait for a long time." ”
Yun Mao stood in the courtyard wearing only a regular suit, and his face was not very good-looking.
The attitude of summoning the eunuch made Princess Yunsha even more worried, and her back was covered with fine sweat.
After entering the palace, the brother and sister followed in front of Xiao Yue.
Seeing the two of them coming in, Xiao Yue glanced at the two of them coldly and said, "I don't know the rumors about Princess Yunsha in Beijing, what do the two of them think?" ”
Princess Yunsha and Yun Mao suddenly knelt on the ground, Yun Mao took care of this, and said, "Your Majesty, the people of the Slippery Country, your loyalty to Dongli is evident in the sky, please Your Majesty not to believe rumors." ”
Regardless of whether Dongli has obtained substantial evidence or not, Yunmao does not intend to admit it.
Xiao Yue will summon the Yunmao brothers and sisters today, just for the assassination of Lin Yi.
He had just received the news of Lin Yi's assassination from the secret guards, and it didn't make sense that the capital would spread.
He used the communication channel dedicated to the dark guard, and the person who could receive the news so quickly was the person behind the scenes, except for him.
Probably, this is also a plan formulated by the people behind the scenes, regardless of whether the assassination over there is successful or not, to spread the news first and disturb the public and the public.
Moreover, the rumors spread in an orderly manner, which is the same as the rumor that Princess Yunsha fell in love with Xiao Yue at the beginning, it is clearly the handiwork of the same person.
Therefore, he summoned the Yunmao brothers and sisters into the palace, knocked on the side, and inquired.
"Whether it's a rumor or not, the two of you know very well in their hearts." Xiao Yue played with a teacup in his hand and snorted coldly, "I just need to give me an explanation for Dongli." ”
Yun Mao was already sweating like rain, but he didn't dare to wipe it with his hands, he took two steps forward and pleaded, "Your Majesty, we are willing to increase the tribute by two percent to show our loyalty." ”
Xiao Yue smiled, "Dongli is not short of this thing about your small country, it's just that my queen and courtiers are harassed by rumors, even if they sweep away the smooth country, they can't calm my anger." ”
Yun Mao took two more steps on his knees, "The courtiers are ignorant, please ask Your Majesty for forgiveness." ”
"Your Majesty, there are thousands of mistakes, all of them are the fault of the courtiers, and the courtiers are obsessed with the prosperity of Dongli, but the people of the slippery country have nothing to do with it, I beg your majesty to spare the people of the slippery country, Yunsha is willing to bear all the punishments."
Princess Yunsha gritted her teeth and said, she thought of the people of the Slippery Country, they could no longer afford more tribute.
She hated to admit it, but she knew she was wrong.
She hung her head and saluted Xiao Yue, "The people of the slippery country are also Your Majesty's people, please don't punish them for Yunsha's faults, they are no longer able to bear the war and the annual tribute." ”
These words made Xiao Yue look at Princess Yunsha twice, and at the critical moment, this woman was not confused to the end, and she still knew how to defend her people.
Probably, this is also the reason why she is loved by the people in the slippery country.
However, he looked at the brother and sister coldly, completely unmoved.
Between countries, that's the case, he must first protect the interests of his own country, and then he will share some sympathy with others, he is the emperor of Dongli, not the king of the country.
The position is different, and there is no sympathy.
He snorted coldly, "Since the princess knows that the slippery country can't withstand my wrath, why would she do such a thing?" Xiao Yue walked up to the two brothers and sisters with his hands behind his back and looked at them condescendingly.
"If I wield my troops to slip into the country, it will also be your sin, princess."
Princess Yunsha didn't dare to look up, staring at the moire satin shoes in front of her, which were very exquisite, but she could vaguely see that the embroidery was not from the hands of ordinary embroiderers.
As for whose hand it came from, it is self-evident.
She no longer had the slightest charm in her heart, but said, "It's the courtier's ghost who is obsessed, and the courtier's daughter is willing to be punished." begged the emperor to spare the people of the country. ”
She couldn't believe that if Dongli really sent troops, her mother and the people of another country would look at her with what kind of eyes.
Disappointed? Wrath? Or hate?
"Your Majesty, the courtiers are willing to apologize with death, and only ask the emperor to spare the innocent people."
She knelt there, throwing herself to the ground, lowering herself into the dust.
Her face no longer had the original charm, she kowtowed heavily, "The courtier's words and deeds are informal, and she collided with the emperor, the queen, and she is willing to use her meager body to exchange a glimmer of life for the people of the country." ”
Originally, what Princess Yunsha did was very despised by people, but this made Princess Yunsha seem to have dropped all her burdens and become the legendary princess of the slippery country, who would rather die than make up for her mistakes rather than affect her own people.
Princess Yunsha raised her red forehead, plucked up her courage, and looked at Xiao Yue, "Your Majesty, the rumors at the beginning were not right for me, but you should know that I am just a new foreigner, even if I want to do something, I must always have a foundation and a helper."
So, Your Majesty must be curious to know who the person who helped me is, right? I am willing to tell you this person, and only ask Your Majesty to open the net and spare the people of the slippery country.
Yun Sha is not a pity to die, but the people of the country are innocent. ”
Xiao Yue looked at Princess Yunsha quietly, this is what he wants, Princess Yunsha is from the country, not from Dongli.
Even if he really let Princess Yunsha die, the Queen of the Slippery Country didn't say anything on the surface, who knows if she was resentful of it in private?
This time, many countries came to congratulate them, and they must be keeping an eye on the movements of the capital all the time.
A slippery country is easy to deal with, but if other countries have a mind, it is not a good thing.
Unnecessary wars are disasters for the people.
Half-loud, Xiao Yue sighed, "The original rumors really caused bad consequences, since Princess Yunsha is so concerned about the people, I am not a person who loves to kill."
Just tell me what you know, and I'll decide. ”
Princess Yunsha breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Yun Mao's eyes on the side, his eyes were a little fierce, but in an instant, he lowered his eyes and couldn't see anything.
This young emperor made her understand what regret is, what fear is, and what prosperity is.
It was also this young emperor who let her know what it means to be heartwarming, benevolent, and courageous.
still has a true love for the queen, but it's a pity that this true love doesn't belong to her.
It was also this man who made her understand that not everyone loved her as much as the people of the slippery country.
She thanked Xiao Yue for giving her a chance, it is enough to be confused once in this life, her identity does not allow her to continue to be confused, let alone continue to make mistakes, otherwise the result may be that the country will fall into a catastrophe.
She no longer looked at Yun Mao's face, and Yun Mao still didn't understand why she had been pampered by her mother for so many years.
She settled down and told Xiao Yue everything she knew.
As soon as he finished saying this, the little eunuch outside came to report, "Your Majesty, the envoy of Nanyan asks to see you." ”
Xiao Yue nodded and motioned for Nanyan's envoys to come in.
Princess Yunsha and Yun Mao got up and retreated, and happened to run into the envoy of Nanyan, Murong Han, who came in.
Murong Han's gaze flashed on Yun Mao's body, he bowed his head, turned sideways to give way, and then followed the eunuch into the main hall.
"Your Majesty, if you are in a good mood today, it is a good day to set off, I wonder how Your Majesty's request for our country is considered?"
Murong Han, as an envoy of Southern Yan, knew that they were not very welcome, after all, when the alliance of various countries besieged Dongli last time, Southern Yan also sent troops.
This time when they entered Beijing, their posture was very low, and it had been a long time since the last reception banquet, but the young emperor did not give any reply.
Murong Han had no choice but to ask to see Xiao Yue again, and once again asked about marrying the daughter of General Zhenbei.
Xiao Yue smiled and asked Murong Han to get up, and gave him another seat, "The envoy's request, I said that I wanted to get the consent of General Zhenbei that day, and it just so happened that I just received a letter from the general. ”
He pulled out an unopened letter, stripped the stamp from the letter, pulled out the letterhead, unfolded it, and looked at the letter at a glance.
"I'm sorry, the envoy's request, General Zhenbei refused. He was reluctant to marry his daughter to Nanyan. ”
Hearing Xiao Yue's words, Murong Han's hand was clenched tightly, and the corners of his lips turned a little red, lining his face, and the whole person looked weirdly bright.
"Your Majesty, did General Zhenbei really refuse my proposal?" His voice was hoarse and harsh, as if he didn't believe it was true.
Xiao Yue nodded, raised the letter in his hand, and the dark one on the side bowed forward, took the letterhead, walked down the steps, and sent it to Murong Han.
Murong Han took the letterhead and opened it eagerly, he didn't see anything, only saw it written, "...... I'd rather die than marry my daughter to Nanyan......"
He seemed to be deeply shocked, the red at the corner of his lips became more and more intense, and his eyes were red, like a touch of blood, which made Xiao Yue stunned.
