Chapter 390: Negotiations between the two countries
As soon as the messenger left the messenger, he saw the close eunuch of Emperor Xu coming over, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Why does the emperor want to help that King Hui, who has nothing to do with us?" That child is the bloodline of the emperor of Daqing Kingdom, and he has always been of the same heart as us, not to mention that Concubine De Niangniang is now gone, but I am afraid that things within Daqing Kingdom will not be able to progress in the future. ”
"What do you know, that kid has half of our blood, and when the time comes, help him solve the others, and when he just ascends the throne and hasn't yet stood firm, isn't Daqing the bag of my Xu Kingdom? Engulfing Daqing, will other countries still be our opponents? At the moment, it's just a delaying tactic, if I can't let Daqing have civil strife, how can I get this fat reward? ”
Emperor Xu had a treacherous smile on his face, a greedy look in his eyes, and then said in a hearty voice.
"The emperor is wise, so do you want to send someone to Daqing to help His Royal Highness King Hui? I'm afraid that when the time comes, his wings will be stiff, and we will not be in charge, and the emperor will have to be vigilant earlier, so as not to make the situation uncontrollable at that time. ”
"Don't worry, all this is within my control, just wait quietly now, and watch the flames of war in Daqing burn endlessly."
The master and servant were like carved out of a mold, and even the treacherous smile on their faces was exactly the same, and both of them looked confident.
Then the person who sent the letter fled quietly, he was ordered by Jiang Xichen, and it was a great luck not to die in Xu Kingdom, how could he stay there and wait.
A few days later, the letter sent by Xu Guo was sent directly to Daqing State, and was handed to Emperor Daqing, looking at the words in the envelope, maintaining the surface harmony as much as possible, in fact, the undercurrent was surging, as if it was warning Daqing with the temperament of a king, so that they had to take care of King Hui, at the same time, a large wave of dark guards were quietly killing into Daqing from the border.
In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Daqing held the letter sent back by Xu Guo, and his heart was disdainful, if it was really a small clan in the border tribe, he was now even more confident to speak to him like this, and he wanted to be the lord of Daqing with a letter of negotiation, which was really ridiculous, and the most ridiculous thing was that Nangong Hui really believed that Xu Guoguo was his most solid backing.
"Your Majesty, how is it good now, although this Xu State is arrogant, but in the end it has been peaceful with Daqing for many years, not to mention that Concubine De Niangniang has just passed away, at this time the two countries are at war, I'm afraid it's not good, not to mention that we just fought a war on the border, and now the country has not recovered, I'm afraid that if it continues like this, it will be bad for us."
Gao Gonggong saw clearly and understood, he had seen countless things beside Emperor Daqing, and naturally he also had a set of clear and clear thoughts.
"What you said is indeed good, now you have to stabilize them first, and when I come to relieve my breath, even he and Xu Guo will be served together, but Hui'er, this kid stays in my palace, it is inevitable that there will be some risks, I will never gamble with my country."
How could Emperor Daqing not understand what Gao Gonggong meant, they had just fought a vicious battle with Yan State, and although they had won the battle now, they still did not slow down, if they fought with Xu State at this time, they were afraid that they would be difficult to endure from both sides.
"Send this letter to King Hui's mansion, just say it's a letter from Xu Guo, let him take a good look, take a look, I also have to test this child's heart, whether it is towards my Daqing, or towards them Xu Guo."
Emperor Daqing refolded the letter in a blink of an eye, stuffed it into the envelope, and handed it to Gonggong Gao with two fingers, with a look of disdain, what he couldn't tolerate the most was that Nangong Hui didn't think much about being loyal to Daqing, but hoped to use Xu Guo to carry himself forward, although he did not clearly show his intention to fight against Daqing at the moment, but even if it was a slight move, it would never escape the eyes of Emperor Daqing.
"Pass the commander of the city army to come, strengthen the defense for a while, don't let anyone who shouldn't come in the capital, pay attention to the situation of the palaces, and see if there are some people who are making waves and can't bear it."
Let people send away the letter, Emperor Daqing hurriedly gave a new order, now the atmosphere between Xu Guo and Daqing is becoming more and more tense, there was a concubine in the past, but it will not be moved to the surface, Concubine De has passed away, those dark lines that have been buried in Daqing, but also have to make Emperor Daqing jealous.
At the same time, there was also the turmoil in the Hui Palace, Jiang Rouer almost got the news at the same time as Nangong Hui, Jiang Xichen sent someone to spread the news that the letter had been sent to the royal family of Xu State, and got a set of high-sounding statements.
Jiang Rou'er was secretly excited in her heart, as long as the royal family of the Xu Kingdom was willing to help, sooner or later she would get rid of Ye Zhenzhen's obstacle, and she didn't have to spend a single soldier.
In the next few days, Daqing was noisy, and the guards patrolling the capital were several times more than usual, and Nangong Mu often stayed in the palace to talk privately with Emperor Daqing, Ye Zhenzhen asked him several times what he was busy with, but he was reluctant to speak.
On this day, Nangong Hui was hurriedly preparing to go out from the palace, but was stopped by Ye Zhenzhen, only to see her staring at him with sharp eyes, and then opened her mouth and said: "No matter what you are busy with, if you don't want to say it, forget it, but there is one thing, you have to protect yourself, you not only have Daqing now, but also me and Mianyi." ”
Nangong Mu shallowly responded, and then took her into his arms and hugged her, and then pulled away, Ye Zhenzhen stared at his back with some restlessness, always feeling that this was the calm before the storm, and there would be a bloody storm in Daqing.
"It's only you who don't understand what's going on, right now Daqing is on the cusp, I'm afraid that Xu Guo and Daqing will inevitably have a fight, and once Concubine De dies, this apparent tranquility will not be maintained."
Huaizhu held the sword in his chest, still looking like he had nothing to do with himself, hanging high, but his mouth was very idle, as if he was talking about family life with others.
"The emperor is in good health, will he really allow his children to force the palace to rebel? At present, the emperor is in full bloom, and he has no intention of making a prince, even if Nangong Hui is so anxious, won't he be smart but be mistaken by cleverness? ”
Ye Zhenzhen has also noticed a little in the past few days, Nangong Hui has made frequent moves, even the noble concubine who has always been quiet and reluctant to make a noise has also begun to make frequent moves, Nangong Mu is even more away from home all day, and there are officers and soldiers around the capital who are encircled and suppressed, as if they are covered with a hot soup, which makes people feel anxious.
This is something that Ye Zhenzhen has never thought of, and never wanted to meet, could it be that if Concubine Cheng De dies, will it really cause a battle to force the palace?
Ye Zhenzhen's heart is in turmoil, he has never thought that he will face the battle of the crown prince one day since he crossed into this era, although they fight openly and secretly on weekdays, they have to fight for a superiority, but they have not really moved a knife and a gun for a day, and now there is a rumor in the capital, which makes people feel panicked.
When Ye Zhenzhen was worried, Jiang Rouer refused to stay in King Hui's Mansion honestly, only to see that she found an opportunity, secretly changed into the girl's clothes, and followed a few girls to slip out of the side door and go straight to the Jiang family's shop.
At this time, Jiang Xichen was also waiting in the shop, and saw him holding an abacus in his hand, while glancing at the door from time to time, and after a while, he saw Jiang Rouer sneaking in like a smoke, and then the two locked up in the house and talked.
"Third brother, I really want to thank you this time, otherwise Rou'er doesn't know what to do, and now Rou'er can only rely on the third brother."
Seeing the glittering spirit of Jiang Xichen again, Jiang Rouer seemed to have found a pillar, since she was forced to marry into the Hui Palace, Jiang Yichen fell out with her, and the entire Jiang family seemed to have cut off relations with her, but Jiang Xichen frequently came to visit her, helped her, and even helped her at all costs, which made her feel unparalleled and unprecedentedly moved.
"Silly sister, what are you talking about, we are all a family, eldest brother, he is indeed a little old-fashioned, and I don't know what's wrong, since he met the county lord of Ning'an, he seems to have changed as a person."
Jiang Xichen has always been dissatisfied with Jiang Yichen's grasp of the Jiang family's business, and always thinks about how to take over the family property, but unfortunately after so many years, Jiang Xichen has never found a suitable opportunity, plus Jiang Rouer has always been interested in Jiang Yichen, and now it is not easy to wait until the two of them are disgusted, so he seized the opportunity to secretly provoke.
"It's still the third brother who is good to Rou'er, Rou'er is so big, it's not very good to the third brother, now that I think about it, I really regret not being at the beginning, if Rou'er didn't have the third brother, I'm afraid that there would be no good days now."
Today's Jiang Rouer relies on Jiang Xichen very much, and thinking about the past carefully, she has always had a deep relationship with Jiang Yichen's brothers and sisters, but she ignored Jiang Xichen a little, so she said with some guilt, and her tone was full of self-blame.
"Silly sister, don't say anything, I'm still your third brother, since you married King Hui, I have suffered a lot of grievances, brother, I really can't bear it, but the eldest brother has been in charge of the family for many years, and I can't resist him, so I can only help you secretly, now that the letter has been sent to the royal family of Xu State, I don't know what my sister thinks now?"
Seeing Jiang Rou'er expressing her guilt so affectionately, Jiang Xichen put on a generous look of relief, and then nervously asked Jiang Rou'er's plan.
There is another reason why Jiang Xichen helped Jiang Rouer, that is, he also can't get used to Ye Zhenzhen, since Ye Zhenzhen came to the capital, her business will boycott the Jiang family's business worthless, but Jiang Yichen is willing, watching the business fall again and again, Jiang Xichen even feels that Jiang Yichen does not grasp the ability of the Jiang family, so he wants to usurp the throne and seize power.
"We don't have to do anything, my brother just send someone to keep an eye on the Mu Palace, sooner or later I will find another opportunity."
