Chapter 36 Tiger and Mouse, Stupid and Unclear.
The Yu Huang ship is a water command ship exclusive to the royal family, Chai Yu just got on the front foot and said that he was going to go on a spring outing, and the back foot mobilized three Yu Huang to go to sea, which was a big event, which could not be hidden, of course, Chai Yu did not want to hide it.
The emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty finally grasped the mistake and issued an order to reprimand, but as a result, the officials of the East China Sea dismantled the son and asked for guilt, saying that Uncle Chai Huang passed through the East China Sea, and heard that fishermen were often attacked at sea, and it was suspected that there were foreign people making trouble at sea, so they called ships to go to sea.
After all, the emperors of the three dynasties of the Chai clan were all to protect their families and defend the country, expel foreigners, and die on the battlefield.
"Such a rebellious behavior, I still want me to reward him!" The emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty saw the petition of the people of the East China Sea, and angrily threw porcelain on the ground in the imperial study, and none of the eunuchs and maids in the palace were intact.
The emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty cursed the ship to sink into the sea every day, but the heavens did not fulfill his wish, and four days later, news came from the sea that Uncle Chai Huang had indeed found an island country on the sea, but it was not a foreign race, but a remnant of the pre-Qin Dynasty.
"He actually went to the Xiao Qin Kingdom! He is so ambitious!" The existence of the Xiao Qin Kingdom was originally tacitly understood by the royal families of all countries, and the kings of every dynasty and generation would send people to look for them, almost all of them were buried in the sea, and they died without a problem, but Uncle Chai Huang found them as soon as he went to sea! The only two surnames in the world that have unified Kyushu meet, and no matter how you think about it, it makes people fidget.
The emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty did not summon the harem for several days, and even the most favored Liu Guifei was blamed in front of the palace.
"Uncle Chai Huang is only one person, even if he finds the remnants of the pre-Qin Dynasty, what can he do? lure the wolf into the house, and this wolf must have wings and be able to fly across the ocean at any time. The wolf doesn't really grow wings, and the sons really don't understand how the father can be so restless and have such a big temper. "The son of Concubine Liu, the second prince Zhao Xun entered the palace as soon as he returned to the city from the eastern suburbs.
Liu Guifei and the Eastern Zhou Emperor grew up together since childhood, the relationship is very affectionate, and the honor has been favored for decades, although there are times when the emperor is angry, but he has never been reprimanded in front of people like this time, and everyone knows about it.
"Your father isn't worried about luring wolves into the house. "Liu Guifei, who is in her thirties, is well-maintained, her appearance is delicate and like a girl in her twenties, she is graceful and dignified in front of her son, and she only looks a little tired. She didn't care about being laughed at by the queen and the concubines, but she was genuinely worried about her man, "Do you know when the saying that the royal son of heaven gave the order to heaven originated?"
"Since it is the pre-Qin. Zhao Xun replied that the pre-Qin dynasty, as the first dynasty in history to unify Kyushu, pushed the monarch's power to the extreme with the remarks of 'the Son of Heaven is appointed by the Son of Heaven, and the world is ordered by the Son of Heaven', "However, mother, the real world is to be conquered by force, and the current Xiao Qin State is just a small land on the sea, even if there is really a god descending to earth, it is impossible to return to the pre-Qin country." The father should also understand. ”
"Your father's concern is not about the people of the Little Qin Kingdom, but about the jade seal of the country. Concubine Liu sighed, her face even more sad, "Uncle Chai Huang's identity is a thorn in my Zhao family's country, if he is allowed to get the jade seal of the country again, how can your father's dragon chair sit firmly?"
The ancestors of the Zhao family adopted Chai Yuan to marry his son, and inherited the Chai family's country was already beaked, first Guo Shi separated the Huai River boundary to establish the country Xiling, and then because Chai Yuan had nothing to do for seven years and was blamed by the heavens, and then Chai Yu was born, and the people of Kyushu celebrated, putting the children and grandchildren of the entire Zhao royal family in an embarrassing situation, and the current Eastern Zhou Emperor, who was the crown prince at that time, was forced to abolish the prince twice before saving some of the situation.
However, the shadow in my heart has never dissipated, for so many years, watching Chai Yu grow up day by day, it is like a nightmare that follows me like a shadow, and I don't know when it will break through to the sun.
And the jade seal of the country, 'the imperial power is granted by heaven, and the orthodoxy is legitimate' is the token of the orthodoxy of all emperors, if it is obtained by Chai Yu, it will definitely give the Zhao family a fatal blow.
"Could it be that my Zhao family's blessings to the people of the world can't compare to a jade seal?" Zhao Xun was a little angry, the emperors of the Zhao and Zhao dynasties were both Ming monarchs who worked hard, why couldn't they get the hearts of the people?
"It's not the jade seal that can't be compared, but the grace of the Chai family. "Liu Guifei's expression is complicated, Kyushu was invaded by foreign tribes and wantonly killed, all the children of the Chai royal family went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, bloody battlefield, Emperor Wen died, Emperor Wu ascended the throne on the battlefield, even the dragon chair of the dynasty never sat on the battle to die, Emperor Ming ascended the throne that was a personal conquest, expelled the remnants of the foreign army thousands of miles away, failed to return to the imperial city and did his best, died.
How can the people of the world forget such tragedy and protection?
"In this case, just build a temple and offer the imperial uncle. Zhao Xun shook his head, the old thing has been decades, such as today's peace, the people are recuperating because of his Zhao family's open-mindedness, why can't he look forward, always thinking about what he did in the past, he can't agree.
"Isn't it offered every day now?" Liu Guifei sighed again, there is no one more noble than Chai Yu in the whole world, but at the age of the weak crown, even if Xiling comes, he must call the emperor uncle in a proper manner.
Zhao Xun was disappreciative in his heart, he felt that everyone respected this little imperial uncle too much since he was a child, which led to the situation becoming more and more ugly, if he was only raised as an ordinary royal child from the beginning, and lived his life smoothly and quietly, it would be the best ending for the Chai bloodline.
The mother and son had their own thoughts, and sat idle for a while, Zhao Xun wanted to leave, and Liu Guifei stayed for dinner, but as soon as the dishes were served, there were eunuchs running back and forth, "Your Majesty the Emperor, vomiting blood!"
"What's going on?" Zhao Xun got up, the emperor was only forty, and he had always taken care of his body, and he had very few minor illnesses and pains, and he would not suddenly vomit blood for no reason.
"News came from the sea, Uncle Chai Huang said that in order to settle the maritime dispute between the two countries, Xiao Qin was willing to make peace and marry the princess Qin Yuan of Qin to Uncle Chai Huang, and Uncle Chai had agreed, and asked His Majesty not to discuss relatives for Uncle Chai. ”
"Princess Qin Yuan?" Liu Guifei stumbled in surprise, such a title is extremely noble, "Can you say that the princess is old, when will she come to the court?"
"Back to the mother, it was not written on the dismantling. "The eunuch also saw it quickly because the emperor was furious and threw his fold on the ground.
"Can the imperial court summon the imperial doctor?" said Liu Guifei as she straightened her clothes and went out.
Zhao Xun stopped her, "Mother, let's go to Erchen." There is news that the sons and daughters will let people go back and forth, the father's body has always been tough, this time it should be extremely angry and involved in state affairs, and the mother concubine should not go. ”
The peace between the two countries is the political affairs of the country, and the harem cannot participate, and Concubine Liu was reprimanded again, and it is best not to appear at this time.
"Niangniang has already gone to the imperial doctor, and it is true that as the second prince said, he vomited blood in anger, and he recuperated for a few days. "The eunuch is a very good looker, since the second prince wants to stop him, he naturally has to say it in passing.
"Then you go quickly. Liu Guifei could only urge her son to go.
In fact, the situation of the Eastern Zhou Emperor was much worse than expected, and when Zhao Xun arrived, he was already placed in the dormitory, leaning on the bed, his face was unpretentious, as if he had suddenly aged ten years.
The queen and the crown prince Zhao Chen both stayed aside, and Zhao Xun only stood quietly on the side after seeing the ceremony, waiting for the doctor to finish feeding the medicine.
"It's just a princess of a small country, Your Majesty is not happy to disagree, it is, so angry and hurts the dragon body, how can the concubine be good. "The queen is a few years older than the emperor, and now she looks worried and wiping away her tears, not like a husband and wife, but like an elder.
The emperor opened his eyes vainly, was too lazy to perfunctory, and only said: "The queen retreats, I will talk to the crown prince and King Yu." ”
The queen was accustomed to being ignored, and she did not feel embarrassed, so she stood up and bowed and withdrew.
The emperor sent the other eunuchs and palace ladies out, and only the father and son were left in the palace.
"Kneel!" the Emperor ordered coldly.
Before Zhao Xun could react, the prince had already knelt in front of the bed, "Father, the son is guilty, the son knows his mistake, you punish the son, don't be angry with your body." ”
Zhao Xun knelt down on the side, not daring to squeak, only wondering if the news given by the eunuch was wrong.
"Your seventh brother is my sister-in-law! Will I put him in Fuzhou for no reason? Several times I wanted to send him back, you and the empress said that he had not recovered and was reluctant to leave Beijing! Do you think I don't know what you are reluctant to do? Huh?" The emperor sneered, looking at the prince in great disappointment, "I only know how to take and don't know how to raise, do you think the pearls of the East China Sea are so easy to take?"
After the seventh son of the emperor Zhao Yuan was stationed in Fuzhou, most of the pearls in the East China Sea and the silver obtained from fishing were all entered into the prince's private treasury, and the emperor has always turned a blind eye, but since Zhao Yuan was injured and entered Beijing last year, the prince not only left people in the capital, but also moved the officials of the East China Sea, except for Zhao Yuan's cronies, all the personnel have become the prince's lineage.
The emperor thought that the crown prince had no fief, and how to govern a party just by listening to the government was just a matter of talking on paper, and he interfered in the internal affairs of his brother-in-law's fief, and he was also up to him.
As a result, there was such a big mistake!
Chai Yu and Xiao Qinguo's harmony can't just be reached by this first meeting, Chai Yu has never been out of the capital before, the only possibility is that there were variables in the time of the disappearance of the spring outing last year!
Received Chai Yu with a ship to the sea emperor sent to check, since Chai Yu took Zhao Yuan back to Beijing last year, the prince took over Fuzhou, fishermen have improved their boats, can go to farther waters to fish, get a richer harvest, for this reason, in one year, Fuzhou built three major ship ports.
In this way, what else can't you think about! Chai Yu and Xiao Qin Guo must have had contacts as early as last year! How to prevent the emperor from vomiting blood in anger!
"The son knows his mistake, the son is stupid and deceived by the emperor's uncle, and asks his father to calm his anger. The crown prince knew that the emperor was angry, so he didn't dare to quibble, and pulled out Uncle Chai Huang to lead the east water.
As a result, the emperor got out of bed in anger again and kicked the prince out a few meters, scolding: "So stupid, you can't see through this bit of blindness, how can you defend my Zhao family under him!"
The emperor was about to make a move again, but Zhao Xun knelt down and took two steps to block between the two: "Father, the emperor is angry." ”
"Rest your anger, rest your anger, wait until Chai Yu marries the princess of Qin into Tokyo City, I simply take this breath!" Although the emperor's anger has not subsided, his tone has softened a little, he has always loved the second prince, and he rarely gets angry, "King Yu, I order you to immediately leave the palace and order 50,000 soldiers and horses to go to Fuzhou." ”
"Does my father want his retainers to go to war? Who to fight? Fuzhou? Could it be that the emperor's uncle was held hostage by the island country at sea and asked his retainers to come to the rescue?" Zhao Xun seemed to know nothing about the matter of harmony, his face was full of astonishment, and he said angrily: "Erchen will immediately lead the troops and set off!"
Zhao Xun wanted to get up, and the emperor kicked him angrily, but it was obviously a world of difference from the meaning of the prince's kick, Zhao Xun knelt back and looked at the emperor with a puzzled expression, "Erchen said something wrong?"
"Can you not spend all your mind on military training?" The emperor looked like he hated iron but not steel, "Your heavenly and human uncle can talk about you to save you? Now that you are going to marry the princess and return triumphantly, you still have no news!"
"It's a good thing for the emperor's uncle to marry, why did my father let his son take troops to Fuzhou?" Zhao Xun seemed puzzled.
"Prince. The emperor suddenly called behind him like an abandoned prince, and asked with a straight face: "Why do you think I want King Yu to lead troops to Fuzhou?"
"Erchen. The prince hesitated, "Erchen thought that without the will of his father, he could not let the people of the Qin State go ashore, and the army shocked them to know that my Eastern Zhou was not counted by the emperor's uncle." ”
The emperor's face softened a little, but he still reprimanded: "The prince of a country, he must be cautious and firm in his words and deeds, what does he look like!"
"What my father taught me is that my sons know their mistakes. "The prince is the only one.
The emperor's disappointed eyes were a little heavier, and he turned to look at Zhao Xun, "So understandable?"
"Yes, yes, yes, but Erchen feels that this move is inappropriate. Zhao Xun replied.
The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
"First, Uncle Huang obviously went to sea to suppress bandits earlier, and now he suddenly made a family affair, it must be for a reason, why can this reason be found out clearly by my father? Second, Uncle Huang's family affair has been pending for many years, and last year there was a matter like that in Liangcheng, and now it has finally been decided, will we rashly intervene and fall for someone else's strategy? Uncle Huang has done everything in recent years, and if he is the lead to anger his father, how can he let him succeed?" Zhao Xun was clear and calm, and when he saw that the emperor's face was slightly loosened, he got up and helped the emperor back to the bed and sat down.
"It is said that in order for the two countries to have no disputes at sea, the princess of Qin is specially married to Uncle Chai Huang for the sake of harmony. ”
"Even if we are friendly and proximity is to be peaceful, we rashly deploy troops, and the people do not know their intentions and mistakenly think that there is a war, and they are prone to trouble when they are panicked, and there will be many more loopholes. Moreover, if the Qin State really came from the intersection of the two countries, the heavy military power would show the stinginess of our Eastern Zhou State. Such a thing that is not beneficial no matter how it is calculated is naturally inappropriate. ”
The emperor also came back to his senses after a little thought, leaned on the dragon bed relaxedly, and asked, "Then what do we do now?"
"Erchen thinks that even if they dare to come, we are not afraid. If the imperial uncle wants to marry a relative, he will welcome him in generously, and a foreign princess can still make waves under the nose of the imperial city of Tokyo? Zhao Xun is very confident.
"How can I be led by him every time!" the emperor couldn't swallow this breath.
"That's because my father is benevolent, not as affectionate as my uncle. Zhao Xun said kindly, "But it will be different in the future, the imperial uncle marries a wife and starts a family, and he is a princess of another country who is close to him, even if he has no feelings, he must take care of the situation, so naturally he will be restrained in the future." ”
"So, he sent a rope to me himself?" the emperor raised an eyebrow, hesitating.
"Yes, that's it. ”
The emperor pondered, the hall was quiet, Zhao Xun stood in front of the bed quietly waiting for him to understand, and the crown prince Zhao Chen knelt not far away and kept bowing his head, so that people could not see any emotion, as if it was an ornament that stayed out of the matter.
After a long time, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and said with the posture of an emperor: "The water comes to the earth, my Eastern Zhou is so big, the imperial land is so wide, and there are not many people who come to worship." ”
"Yes. Zhao Xun responded.
"Xiao Jiu is young and vigorous, so let him toss. The Emperor waved his hand, "I'm tired, you all stand down." ”
In this way, the emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty never asked about the sea again, and the court did not discuss this matter, as if it was a matter of no importance.
It was to wait until Chai Yu and Lu Jinian arrived at the port of Fuzhou, except for the local officials to greet them, there was nothing abnormal, Chai Yu received the reason for the transmission, and he also wanted to praise it in his heart, the second prince who seemed to be addicted to military affairs, but his mind was more careful than his parents and brothers, and he could afford his title.
The mighty procession traveled from the easternmost side of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to the Imperial City of Tokyo in mid-February, and Lu Jinian met with the Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty as a servant and expressed the willingness of the two countries to intersect.
Lu Jinian's attitude was humble, and his conversation with sincerity reversed the impression of some Eastern Zhou emperors, as if he asked casually: "Princess Qin Yuan is still young, why is Emperor Qin willing to marry far away?"
Lu Jinan replied: "At that time, the princess was shipwrecked at sea, and she was fortunate to meet the emperor's uncle to save her life. It is precisely because of his reluctance that His Majesty asked the imperial uncle to introduce him, hoping that the two countries can communicate with each other and take care of Her Royal Highness in the future. ”
The Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty nodded, such a deep brotherhood is really good.
The two parties exchanged documents smoothly, Lu Jinian did not stay long, and he did not deliberately go to Prince Chai's mansion before leaving, and Chai Yu was not escorted, so he went to Xiling on the surface as if it was the Qin team's own way.
Half a month later, the news came that Lu Jinian was detained by the Xiling royal family, and the Xiling Emperor said: "The little Qin country is out of the pre-Qin prince's lineage, and the document is evidenced by the jade seal of the country, but the document for the establishment of diplomatic relations does not have this seal, I don't know whether the small Qin country looks down on the inland or is not the pre-Qin line at all, a group of pirates occupy the island as the king, and they actually come to establish diplomatic relations in a grand manner, which is really ridiculous in the world!'.
Later, he laughed at the robber of the Zhao clan in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and only then did he recognize such an impostor.
Then he accused the Zhao royal family of not being dedicated to raising Chai Yu, letting him be deceived by others, and marrying a princess of unknown origin, his heart can be punished!
The Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was angry and vomited blood again!
Chai Yu has always been indifferent in front of the world, but this time he was angry, and invited Mr. Xun Zhang of Taiwen Academy to Xiling to ask Emperor Guo Wanyi first: "When my mother died, General Guo said that the birth of this king was unknown, which affected the reputation of my mother, and now I have come to ruin the reputation of my wife, and your Xiling Dynasty established the country in the name of my Chai family's blood relative, but you have repeatedly insulted my Chai family, what do you want?"
He also said: "This king will go to Xiling in person in a few days, if he can't give an explanation, this king will not be able to see the ancestors of the Chai family if he recognizes it as a blood relative like General Guo!"
"A little tiger cub who was raised in a cage, what if he comes, do you think you can eat meat by yourself?" Guo Wanyi has been fighting behind the Chai family for half of his life, and he has a lot of contempt for this descendant of the Chai family who has lived in the Zhao family's palace since childhood.
"Mr. went back and told Chai Rongxi, I am worthy of my heart, open the country to him, he will finally know who is his dearest!"
Chai Yu set off for Xiling with a large group of people, but in fact, as soon as he left Tokyo City, the golden cicada broke out of his shell and went to the Xiling Imperial City first.
When the small Qin State on the sea received the information, Chai Yu had already explored Emperor Xiling, and the envoy's team was only restricted in freedom and safe, but he did not find Lu Jinian, nor did he find any clues that he was imprisoned.
So Chai Yu suspected that Lu Jinian was no longer in the Xiling Imperial City. Song Changzhen told the eldest sister what had happened, and he was a little more relaxed, especially seeing that the eldest sister's expression was not angry and panicked, which eased his restless mind for a long time.
"But Lord Lu has never been to the interior, and he has no festivals with anyone, who will take him away alone?" Although Lu Jinian has the highest status among the envoys, if he just wants to inquire about the affairs of the Qin State, how can the entourage know a little bit about it by torture casually, there is no need to work Lu Jinian alone, it is definitely ulterior motives to take Lu Jinian away.
Song Yunhe sorted out all the information and focused on it: "Lord Lu had an accident in the interior, but His Majesty put the children of many powerful people in the country into the princess's mansion as hostages, I think I must suspect that something is wrong on our side, right?"
Song Changzhen nodded, and Song Yunhe's thoughts became clear, "So someone from the Qin State appeared in Xiling? Yes, the Queen Mother?"
"My sister really guessed it. Song Changzhen sighed, and there was a lot of self-blame, "Blame me for spending all my thoughts on military affairs before, and I haven't found any traces of them, and I haven't taken them to heart, which has made Lu Jinian suffer." ”
"We can't change the facts that have been decided, does Your Majesty have a countermeasure now? How to rescue Lord Lu, has Your Majesty thought about it?"
"Hmm. "Song Changzhen has already had a plan, and originally wanted to complete all the arrangements and then tell the eldest sister everything, although it is still a little worse now, but it doesn't matter, "I want to go to the inland to save people in person." ”
"What about Qin?" Song Yunhe was slightly surprised, but he could still understand.
"I have a sister in the country, my sister will supervise the country for me. ”
"Huh?" Song Yunhe was really dumbfounded now, she was a woman from another world, how could she take on such a heavy responsibility!
