Chapter 253: Taking Care of the Mission
Jiang Youxi also had the first time he saw An Ran in his mind, he always felt that An Ran would never do such a thing, and persecuted the four princes so much, maybe it was only because the four princes wanted to expose the child in her belly, and it was not the emperor who threatened her safety, she would do this.
"But," Zhao Jue suddenly didn't know what to say, "it's that in my memory, the old emperor cares about his son very much
When he was young, no matter what trouble he had, the old emperor was very partial, so this time, I feel that things are not so simple. ”
As soon as he said this, Jiang Youxi also discovered the strangeness of this matter, the old emperor only has four princes, such a son, whether he rebels or not, the old emperor will pass the throne to him, so why should he rebel?
And what evidence is there for those who he imitated, is it just because the prince's guards who protected him were killed? It's just that there is no evidence that those people died at his hands.
"Is there any evidence that he rebelled?" Jiang Youxi said what he wanted to know in his heart.
Zhao Jue shook his head, in fact, he didn't understand this, Nanyang's political affairs have always been controlled by the prime minister, and it was not the old emperor who might have been accused of being an exemplary crime, but the prime minister.
But the will is the emperor's, and when the two of them were silent because of this matter, news came again, the old emperor of Nanliang, the will of the new one, since it is to the Three Kingdoms, use the power of the whole country to find the whereabouts of the four princes, and send the body back to Nanliang after finding it.
In other words, you don't have to live, you just need to bring his body back, is it possible that the old emperor of Nanliang doesn't even ask his son, why did he suddenly rebel? Don't you ask what happened to make him like this?
This will attracted the attention of Zhao Jue and Jiang Youxi even more, and the two of them felt that this matter was full of suspicions, and they always felt that this was who set up a game and let the four princes in.
"Tell the people below to check whether the old emperor of Nanliang has died." In the end, there was still no way, Zhao Jue could only let people check it, and what the result was, he knew whether his idea was right or wrong.
It's just that if the old emperor of Nanliang has really died, if he wants to let him know that his father has already died, what should he be able to do.
"Let's think about the good first, in case it's really a misunderstanding!" Jiang Youxi comforted.
When this news reached the ears of the fourth prince, Shangguan Chu was right, this is not a means that the emperor can do, besides, the old emperor loves him a lot, how could you want to kill him at this time.
It's just that in this way, it is also determined that this matter is the style of An Ran and Nan Shenyue, but what is their goal? I don't think it's just my own life.
Although he knew that things were not as simple as he thought, he still wanted to make this matter clear in front of the old emperor, and he really did not rebel, so he planned to return to Nanliang the same way.
When Eucalyptus heard his decision, he really didn't know what to say, everything had already become like this, no matter whether the old emperor misunderstood or not, even if the prince went back, could he really listen to his explanation?
Zhao Jue felt that these things were very strange, so even if the fourth prince said that he wanted to return to his home country, he did not let him go, but imprisoned him in an inconspicuous courtyard in the harem, and let Eucalyptus protect his safety.
And at this moment, the prime minister's subordinates are trying their best to find the traces of the four princes, but there has been no news, and Beiyan is also looking for it in the country, and there is no information about the whereabouts of the four princes.
From this point of view, there is a great possibility that the four princes will stay in Zhao Jue's palace, with Zhao Jue's protection, of course the prime minister's people can't find him, knowing where he may be, and keeping the idea that he must not let the person who knows his secret still be alive, and quickly let the prime minister send someone to find Zhao Jue, and he must know whether the four princes are in Zhao Jue's hands or not.
Seven days.
After a full seven-day journey, the prime minister's people came to Zhao Jue's land.
Looking at the folk customs that were very different from those of Nanliang, the envoy felt that it was very good here, entered the palace, and met Zhao Jue.
"I don't know if there is anything that needs my help, Nan Liang is my mother's maiden family, and I will definitely do my best to hold on to something." Zhao Jue looked at the envoys, and he also had a guess in his heart, most of them were here for Shangguan Chu, but he didn't know what kind of thoughts he had, if there was anything harmful, he had to protect Shangguan Chu.
"That's the case, the four princes of our country killed the prince's personal guards and fled, I'm afraid that they just don't want to go to the border to quell the chaos, and Your Majesty thinks that the prince has the intention of rebellion, so let the three kingdoms look for the whereabouts of this child together, but the prime minister watched the four princes grow up, and he really couldn't bear it, and wanted to let the ministers come to talk about it, if you see the four princes, I hope you can help persuade the four princes to go back and talk to Your Majesty."
Before he went out, the envoy said that before he went out, the prime minister explained that he could find the whereabouts of the four princes in the palace at any time, but this was not Nanliang after all, and he could not live alone as a guest of the prime minister, and he was not afraid of offending anyone, so he could only politely express his meaning to Zhao Jue.
"Really? Although I haven't met my cousin many times, but he doesn't seem to be such a person, there must be some misunderstanding between my uncle and my cousin, you can rest assured, if it is the cousin I see, I will definitely comfort him, after all, my uncle's body is now in a daily situation, I am afraid that what he wants most is his son Chenghuan's knees. ”
Zhao Jue looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and he said very pro-Wei words in his mouth, but there was no expression on his face, and the envoy saw that his reaction, he couldn't be sure whether the four princes were hiding in Zhao Jue or not, if Zhao Jue said so, it means that the four princes are not here, but if the four princes are not here, where will others go back?
"Yes, then it's tiring." The smile on the envoy's face was a little condensed, it was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and his whole hot face was attached to someone's cold ass.
Zhao Jue looked at the envoys who were standing no longer arrogant, and he didn't say anything, but just arranged a place for the envoys to live, although Shangguan Chu Ye was in the palace, but this palace was so big, some people lived in this place all their lives, and it was impossible to meet, let alone just these few days.
The envoy took people back to the place arranged by Zhao Jue, but he always felt that the fourth prince should be here, because he had no place to stay except here. After thinking about it, he still passed the book to the prime minister, before coming, the prime minister asked him many times that he had something to pass on to him and listen to his dispatch, but he must not make his own decision and damage Nanliang's face.
Zhao Jue found the carrier pigeon flying to Nanliang, but did not stop it. He didn't know what the envoy wanted to be sure of, whether Shangguan Chu was in Zhao Jue's palace, or something else, he had a hunch that the envoy was not just here for Shangguan Chu, maybe because of something else.
"Take a good look at the people in these envoys, they don't feel very good about me." Zhao Jue instructed like the black shadow behind him, the black shadow, as Zhao Jue's personal secret guard, felt it early on, this envoy is not good, but he doesn't know, what to do, now as long as they catch their pain, they can leave by themselves, so they don't have to worry, Shangguan Chu's traces are exposed.
When the envoy received the news from the prime minister, he only had two words, stay. The envoy also did as he said, and Zhao Jue didn't have any other speculations about the stay of the mission, but just instructed people to take good care of the mission.
After waiting for a few more days, the person who went to Nanliang to investigate came back, and that person said that although the Emperor of Nanliang should be obsessed with sound and lust as before, and should go to the court, there is only one problem that the old emperor of Nanliang does not look as seriously ill as rumored, and it seems that it is only a slight wind chill.
Not seriously ill? How is it possible, the old emperor has been addicted to wine since the death of the empress, and over the years, his body has stepped off early, so there is only one possibility, the emperor was really killed, but who killed him, An Ran? An Ran still has to use the old emperor to gain a firm foothold in Nanliang, if it is the old fox of Prime Minister Nan Shenyue, it is also a little unreasonable, after so many years, the prime minister would have killed the old emperor if he wanted to, so why rush.
"You pay more attention to Shangguan Chu, the prime minister's envoy is at the post station, don't let him go out and run around and bump into it." Zhao Jue instructed Jiang Youxi that he didn't need to say these words, and Jiang Youxi also knew what to do, but it was a pity that this child, who had just become an adult, suffered such a change, "By the way, the person I sent to Nanliang came back and told me that maybe the emperor of Nanliang is dead." ”
"What?" The voice of surprise came from the bed one by one, one was Jiang Youxi, and the other was Shangguan Chu, the fourth prince.
Shangguan Chu hurriedly walked over, his eyes waiting for Zhao Jue, "What did you say?" How could my father die, he was so smart, absolutely impossible. ”
The old emperor became the king alive from the road of the battle for the throne, naturally he had his own set of styles, how could he just lose his life, as the son of the old emperor, he knew that his father was suspicious, how could it be.
"It may be that he is seriously ill and has no cure before he dies, don't think too much about it." Jiang Youxi comforted, although he himself knew that this matter could not be such a simple accident, after all, for so many years, it has been rumored that the old emperor of Nanliang is not in good health, but there has been no news of his death, not to mention that it is just a hypothesis, in case it is just that they hide the real old emperor.
