Chapter 1259: News
Although Mu Yingbao believed in her own people's ability to send them to Xixiang safely, she still insisted on staying in Qucheng and waiting for the news of their safe arrival.
Anyway, the original intention of not returning to the capital was to let Brother Hui adapt and part.
During the waiting days, Xue Wenyu led his daughter-in-law to go shopping every day and taste local specialties.
Wen Xiaowu took people around to buy what they needed on the next road, and the merchants doing business on Qucheng Street saw Wen Xiaowu bring people over, their eyes lit up, hoping that there was something in their shop that Grandpa Guo and his wife needed.
……
Wuyu Country, the recent events have made the entire capital nervous.
The atmosphere in the palace was even more tense than when he learned the news of the failure of the annexation of Xixiang and the death of the crown prince.
Once, it was Emperor Wuyu who had just issued an order and ordered two generals to lead an army of 30,000 to attack Yanguo, but as a result, just about to set off, the flag was inexplicably broken.
This is a big bad luck, carefully checked the flagpole and there was no sign of vandalism, and they all thought that His Majesty would change his mind and give up this action to retaliate against Yanguo.
Unexpectedly, in addition to being angry, the emperor ordered the flag-bearer to be cut down, and ordered someone to build an iron flagpole overnight.
When they were preparing to go out again, the soldiers of the 30,000-strong army began to have abdominal pain and diarrhea one after another.
That scene can't be described in a garbled word at all.
The scene of 30,000 troops having diarrhea and looking for a latrine in a mess is simply not an exaggeration to describe it as stinking outside the capital.
The broken flagpole can be said to be an accident, but the 30,000 army had diarrhea together, how could it be an accident.
This is good, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty don't need to use their brains at all, thinking about whether to risk death and cancel the retaliation against Yanguo, their emperor His Majesty has been so angry that he vomited blood and fainted, and fell into a coma.
Everyone in the court of the Black Feather Kingdom, even if no one speaks, the answer in everyone's hearts is very unified.
That is, whether it was the broken flagpole at the beginning, or the diarrhea of 30,000 soldiers later, these must be the meticulous actions of the Yanguo people.
This is really terrible, it can make 30,000 soldiers have diarrhea at the same time, even if it is drugged, how many people will it take?
The more the civil and military officials thought about it, the more they felt afraid, their vests were cold, if the people of Yanguo were poisoned, wasn't it a medicine that could only make people have diarrhea?
If you put medicine in the well, the war horses will also drink it before they set off, but the war horses are all fine, and there is nothing wrong with it. So, it should be on the food.
Although His Majesty was in a coma, there were still ministers in the DPRK and China who arranged for someone to thoroughly investigate the matter.
The firehead soldiers who were in charge of the soldiers' diet were all arrested and interrogated, and the firehead soldiers were also pale and weak because of diarrhea, and they only said that they had been wronged, and with a little punishment, they passed out, and no useful information was tried.
His Majesty the Emperor was unconscious, and the Imperial Physician was helpless. Helplessly, after several old ministers discussed, they asked the Queen Mother to discuss, saying otherwise, let's appoint a new prince first, just in case.
As for Yanguo's retaliation, this is the first thing to do.
However, the matter of establishing a new prince has triggered a fight between several princes in the palace, and the battle that was originally very vague is now on the surface.
Assassination, setting up bureaus, poisoning all kinds of things, the officials in the court who have long been co-opted by the princes have also done their best for the masters they have chosen.
When he received a secret report from the spies that the Yanguo people were escorting more than 30 royal children from Xixiang back to Xixiang, no one in Wuyu Country cared about doing something about this matter at all.
The people have another rumor about the broken flagpole and the diarrhea of 30,000 soldiers, and they have committed treachery to their allies for many years, so they are punished by God.
Mu Yingbao, who was waiting for the news in Qucheng, heard Xue Wenyu talk about these things that happened in Wuyu Country, she slapped her face happily, and even said that this is called self-destruction if you do too much injustice.
After calming down, she analyzed it very seriously, guessing that the collective diarrhea of the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Wuyu Kingdom would be caused by food spoilage and poisoning?
Xue Wenyu asked her, if she was so interested, would she like him to accompany her to Wuyu in disguise to find out what was going on.
Mu Yingbao immediately shook her head, saying that she was not stupid, she was pregnant with a child, how could she go to the Black Feather Country to take risks.
Hearing his daughter-in-law say this, Xue Wenyu smiled and said nothing.
……
And Xixiang, when he learned about the current situation of Wuyu, the civil and military officials in the court were called a lively one.
Some say that the black feather retribution is coming, some say that they deserve it, and some people say that no matter who starts it, it is too terrible.
After calming down, we analyzed together, but we couldn't analyze the reason.
What happened in the country of Wuyu was definitely not done by the country, so who could have done it? actually used this kind of trick that can't be used on the table without authenticity. Although I didn't have a chance to see the scene at that time, I felt the stench in my nose just by making up for it.
If you can let 30,000 soldiers be recruited, if you want to enter the Black Feather Palace, you should be able to do it by the same means.
This news also made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, Wu Yu was in this situation now, and he couldn't take revenge on Xixiang.
Even if the emperor wakes up, even if the new crown prince is elected to the throne, he may not dare to act easily.
At this time, an official broke the question, saying that since there is no threat to Wuyu for the time being, should it be discussed how to go to Yanguo to ask the princes, princesses, and grandchildren to come back.
Zhou Jian and several other princes didn't say anything, just looked at their father on the dragon chair.
"Your Majesty, Yanguo has sent someone to see Your Majesty." At this time, someone hurriedly entered the temple to report.
Well? When it comes to Yanguo, someone is coming?
Emperor Zhou Hong, as well as all the people in the palace, were stunned.
After the soldiers and horses of Yanguo left this time, Zhou Hongte issued an order that no one was allowed to investigate.
Calculate the time, then Xue Guogong and the others are still on their way back to the capital of Yanguo, so what does it mean to send someone?
Zhou Hong came back to his senses, nodded, and the person who entered the hall to report immediately went out and brought the person in.
"Under Xue Guogong of Xia Nayan State, I have seen Your Majesty." The comer clenched his fists and bowed.
Seeing His Majesty the Emperor but not kneeling, this is simply disrespectful, and most of the people in the palace are annoyed, which is too contemptuous of their Emperor Majesty.
"Excuse me, give me a seat." Zhou Hong opened his mouth without being annoyed or angry, and someone on the side immediately moved a chair for the visitor.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The visitor said thank you, but he didn't really step forward to sit down.
"Under the orders of the grandfather and wife of the country, there is a letter and Your Majesty." As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom.
Chen Gonggong, who was beside Zhou Hong, took the horse over and turned around and handed it to Zhou Hong directly.
Zhou Hong took it and immediately opened it, and the ministers and several princes looked at the emperor together, wanting to judge the content of the letter from his expression, whether it was good or bad......
