Chapter 63: Rejection of Arce
"What's so happy about Niangniang?"
"Aunt Su, soon, Ren Guo will be able to return to the country."
After Aunt Su heard this, her face also added some joy.
"It's finally here." Aunt Su said with relief.
The smile on the face of the imperial concubine did not retreat.
The next day, Ren Zhongshen went to the Xuyang Palace to see His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, the minister has already figured out how to reject Arce."
"Tell me about it."
"Bei Liang has no plans to make friends with any tribe for the time being."
"That's it?"
Ren Zhongshen nodded, "That's what the minister thinks, if you can say less, you can say less, if you say more, you will be offended by accident." ”
After hearing this, His Majesty nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll leave soon." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Ren Zhongshen left from the Xuyang Palace, he went to the Mianwan Palace, and told Emperor Wan and the concubine that he would leave for Arce tomorrow.
After Emperor Wan and Concubine Wan found out, she found a way to quietly leave Beiliang and go to Arce.
"Aunt Su, how long has it been since Your Majesty has been to the Mianwan Palace?"
Aunt Su thought about it carefully, "It's been more than a year. ”
Emperor Wan nodded, "That's fine." ”
"Mother, what are you asking for?"
"Aunt Su, pack some luggage."
"Do what?"
Aunt Su didn't know that Emperor Wan was going to Arce secretly.
"Bengong doesn't have time to explain to you, you can pack some things for Bengong first, just a little."
"Yes, sissy." Aunt Su was at a loss to give Emperor Wan to clean up her things.
Emperor Wan's concubine stood aside and watched Aunt Su pack up her things.
While cleaning up for Emperor Wan's concubine, Aunt Su asked, "Niangniang, what are you going to do here?" ”
"Go to Arce."
When Aunt Su heard this, she stopped what she was holding and looked at Emperor Wan's concubine with wide eyes.
"Why did the lady go to Arce?" Aunt Su asked in surprise.
Emperor Wan's concubine looked around and whispered, "This palace wants to cause a war between Arce and Bei Liang, as long as Arce and Bei Liang start a war." Regardless of whether Arce wins or loses in the end, Bei Liang will lose his troops. In this way, it will be much easier to attack Beiliang when the time comes. ”
"Does Your Majesty know that Niangniang is going to Arce?"
Emperor Wan shook her head, "Your Majesty doesn't know, this palace is secretly going." ”
At this moment, Emperor Wan's concubine is very much like the ten-year-old Ye Wanyi, sneaking out of the palace behind her father's back.
"How's that going to work? If His Majesty had known, he would have died. ”
"Aunt Su, if you want to restore the country, this palace must do this. This is a rare opportunity, and Hongu can't just let it go away. "Emperor Wan's concubine instantly turned back into that heartless Wanhuang concubine.
"!"
"Okay, Aunt Su, don't say any more, hurry up and clean up."
"Yes, sissy."
Once Emperor Wan's concubine insists on something, it is difficult to change.
This is very similar to His Majesty.
After Aunt Su cleaned up, she asked, "What if Your Majesty finds out?" Also, if His Majesty suddenly comes to find Niangniang, and Niangniang is not there, what should I do? ”
"Your Majesty will not find out, and will not come here." Emperor Wanfei said firmly.
"How does Niangniang know that His Majesty will definitely not come to Mianwan Palace?"
Emperor Wan didn't know how to explain it, in short, she just felt that what Aunt Su was worried about would not happen.
"Aunt Su doesn't need to say much."
"Will the lady take the old slave with her?"
Emperor Wan thought about it carefully and shook her head, "No." ”
"Why?" Aunt Su was a little anxious.
Emperor Wan's concubine took Aunt Su's hand, and her serious expression became gentle in an instant.
"Aunt Su, this palace knows, you are worried about me. However, I am no longer the fifteen-year-old Ye Wanyi. ”
"Niang Niang knows, why don't you bring the old slave? Is Niangniang afraid that the old slave will delay Niangniang? ”
Emperor Wan shook her head, "Aunt Su, you are already old, and the road to Arce is long, and you can't afford it." Aunt Su, you have been by my side for more than 30 years. You are no longer just my Aunt Su, I have treated you as if you were my relative. I don't want anything wrong with you. ”
"The old slave is not afraid of this, the old slave just wants to be by the princess's side." Aunt Su said in a low voice.
"But I'm afraid."
Emperor Wan's concubine has no relatives anymore, and she only has Aunt Su left.
When Aunt Su heard Emperor Wan say that she was afraid, she chuckled in her heart.
There was some soreness in the nose, and the eye sockets were gradually soaked with tears.
"Aunt Su, you have been with me for half your life. Besides, I'm just trying to find a way to let Arce go to war with Bei Liang, and I'm not doing anything. Nothing will happen. Emperor Wan said comfortingly.
"Niangniang, the old slave is not by his side, he must pay attention to safety."
Emperor Wanfei nodded obediently.
Early the next morning, Ren Zhongxiang was waiting for Emperor Wan's concubine in the Mianwan Palace.
When Aunt Su was dressing up Emperor Wan's concubine, Aunt Su said while playing, "Niangniang, if Your Majesty comes, what should the old slave say?" ”
"Directly said that the palace is uncomfortable, and I am afraid of infecting Your Majesty, so I will not see Your Majesty. Then I found some people and spread the word to the outside world, saying that Hongu was sick and had not seen anyone for a month. ”
This question was thought about by Emperor Wan's concubine when she was sleeping.
"The old slave remembers."
After Aunt Su dressed up Emperor Wan's concubine, she handed the burden she had packed last night to Emperor Wan's concubine.
"Mother, you must pay attention to safety." Aunt Su told repeatedly.
Emperor Wan nodded and said, "I know. ”
Aunt Su walked to the main hall with Emperor Wan's concubine.
Ren Zhongxiang was shocked when he saw the dress of Emperor Wan's concubine.
The very little girl that Aunt Su dressed up for Emperor Wan's concubine looked like Emperor Wan's concubine when she was young.
When she was a child, Ye Wanyi liked to sneak out of the palace to play, and every time she would dress up like a little boy, with her hair tied up, a hairpin, and the most simple clothes. It's so simple that it's like an ordinary person's house, coarse cloth and plain clothes.
Although Ren Zhongxiang is a minister of the court, he often sees Emperor Wan's concubine dressed in disguise.
Today's Wanhuang Guifei is in her thirties, and she is dressed like before, except for some more vicissitudes, there is really not much change.
"See Niangniang."
"Flat."
"Xie Niangniang."
"When to go?" Emperor Wan asked.
"Anytime."
"Let's go!"
"Yes."
Emperor Wan's concubine took the baggage, left without looking back, left the Mianwan Palace, got into the carriage, and left the palace.
Aunt Su looked at the back of Emperor Wan's concubine leaving, and she was always a little uneasy in her heart.
From Beiliang to Arce, it takes three full days and three nights.
In the carriage, Ren Zhongxiang didn't dare to say anything to Emperor Wan, so he just sat quietly.
Emperor Wan's concubine, like Nangong Tingjiao, likes to look at the scenery along the way when she rides the carriage.
The reason she likes to see the scenery along the way is because it allows her to calm down and not think too much about things.
At this moment, she is not Emperor Wan's concubine, she is just Ye Wanyi of Ren Guo, she is just Ye Wanyi.
The scenery of Arce Road is very different from Beiliang.
Merchants come and go along the road in Beiliang, and along the way in Arce, there are mountains and rivers, and there are many grasslands. In the meadows, there are many kinds of wild flowers. Yellow, purple, red, pink, very beautiful.
After a long time, she got tired of watching it, so she stopped watching.
When Emperor Wan's concubine quietly closed her eyes and recuperated, Ren Zhongxiang suddenly asked, "Niangniang, how do you say that the Zhou Jun of Arce will send troops to attack Beiliang?" Ren Zhongxiang asked cautiously.
Emperor Wan's concubine slowly opened her eyes and said unhurriedly, "When you get to Arce, don't you know?" ”
Ren Zhongxiang didn't dare to ask anything more.
If it was in the past, Ren Zhongxiang would dare to ask. But the current Ye Wanyi is no longer the former Ye Wanyi, and the current Ye Wanyi is too different from the previous Ye Wanyi.
Three days later, Emperor Wan and Ren Zhongxiang successfully arrived at the Arce tribe.
His Majesty wrote a letter in advance and ordered it to be sent to Arce, to the hands of the Governor of Zhou.
The letter stated that Ren Zhongxiang and some of his guards would arrive in Arce after three days and three nights. Therefore, the Zhou Jun of Arce personally greeted Ren Zhongxiang.
After Ren Zhongxiang got out of the carriage, he carefully helped Emperor Wan and Concubine Wan to get out of the carriage.
Zhou Jun of Arce saw Ren Zhongxiang get out of the carriage and hurriedly walked in front of Ren Zhongxiang.
Zhou Jun thought that the concubine of Emperor Wan that Ren Zhongxiang was supporting was Ren Zhongxiang, so he said to Emperor Wan, "Presumably this is Lord Ren Zhongxiang, the envoy sent by His Majesty Beiliang, right?" ”
Ren Zhongxiang looked at Zhou Jun with a shocked expression, and then looked at Emperor Wan's concubine.
Emperor Wan said with a smile, "It's contemptible." ”
After the Wanhuang Guifei finished speaking, Ren Zhongxiang looked at the Wanhuang Guifei with an incredulous expression.
Ren Zhongxiang is like he has never seen the world, and Emperor Wan's concubine is calm and comfortable.
"Your Excellency, please."
"Zhou-kun, please."
Emperor Wan and Ren Zhongxiang entered it with Zhou Jun.
Zhou Jun prepared the best lamb's milk from Arce to treat them.
"Let me taste it, this is the best lamb's milk in Arce." Zhou Jun said.
Emperor Wan Guifei smiled, "Thank you very much for Zhou Jun's hospitality. As she spoke, Emperor Wan took the bowl of lamb's milk and took a big sip.
"It's very mellow and creamy, very dense. It's good milk. ”
Zhou Jun listened to the smile on his face a little more.
"I don't know, His Majesty Bei Liang's answer to being friendly with Arce?" Zhou Jun asked cautiously.
Emperor Wan's concubine stood up, saluted Zhou Jun, and said, "Your Majesty's answer to the minister's is yes." ”
Emperor Wan's concubine said deliberately, and Zhoujun's eyes were full of anticipation.
"Your Majesty's answer is that there are no plans to make friends with any tribe for the time being."
As soon as Emperor Wan finished speaking, the smile on Zhou Jun's face disappeared instantly.
"Why?" Zhou Jun didn't understand why.
When Zhou Jun decided to make friends with Bei Liang, what he thought was that His Majesty Bei Liang would definitely be good friends with Arce.
Arce will not offend the Qinwen tribe, let alone the Qinzhou tribe, and will not let Beiliang be caught in the middle and be in a dilemma. But why is Bei Liang reluctant to make friends with Arce?
Emperor Wan pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty is unwilling to befriend Arce because Arce is far inferior to the Qinzhou tribe and even the Qinwen tribe. Therefore, there is no need to make friends. ”
Although what Emperor Wan said was the truth, this reason should not have been said.
I wasn't surprised that Emperor Wan said this fact.
On the carriage, Ren Zhongxiang also thought of many reasons that might provoke Arce to send troops to attack Beiliang. The only reason he could think of was to tell the real reason why His Majesty did not make friends with Arce.
In addition to Zhou Jun, there are also other ministers of Arcer.
"Smack!"
Emperor Wan was taken aback.
"What is Your Majesty Bei Liang to say such a thing? If it weren't for the Qinzhou tribe and the Qinwen tribe, Beiliang would have such scenery today? ”
A person with a strong body, a head circumference of about 58 centimeters, a height of about 1.95 meters, and the biceps are all muscles.
"Archy, shut up." Zhou Jun said loudly.
This Achinair is the king of Suping of Arce, and the second brother of the king of Zhou.
"Everyone else has bullied us." Archie said loudly.
Zhou Jun had nothing to say, but what Archie Nair said was indeed the truth.
Emperor Wan's concubine saw such a big reaction from King Suping, which was exactly what she wanted.
"When you wanted to make friends with Bei Liang, we were all against it, only you insisted. Okay, right? No one else has any intention of befriending us Arce. Archie Nair yelled at Zhou Jun.
Arce is not like Beiliang, there are not so many rules and regulations.
"Zhoujun, although ......"
