Chapter 8: Imprisoning the palace is the best policy

The reward for Ling Zixu was even worse, the emperor gave a pair of gold armor, ten thousand taels of gold, and other generals had rewards, and the grade was upgraded by one level, and ten taels of gold were given.

The soldiers thanked him, the ministers congratulated, and the feast was in full swing in the sound of singing and dancing music.

After the meeting, Emperor Si Chong stayed in Ling Zixu's imperial study for questioning.

Ling Zixu controlled the amount of alcohol during the banquet, and did not dare to drink openly, knowing that the emperor was still looking for him, so he was very cautious.

When he was led to the imperial study by the palace people, Si Chong had not yet arrived.

Ling Zixu noticed that the emperor seemed to drink more wine than him during the banquet, and now he didn't know where to delay.

He stood in the study, looking left and right, what the emperor wanted to ask, he could probably guess a thing or two, he had prepared a lot of high-sounding words, in front of the emperor, what to say and what not to say, he still knew.

After a while, the palace people sang: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”

Ling Zixu hurriedly knelt down to pick up the car.

Si Chong entered the door drunkenly.

"Aiqing is flat!" Si Chong motioned for Ling Zixu to get up, and then sat down behind the bookcase.

Ling Zixu stood up and stood aside respectfully.

Si Chong looked left and right, and ordered: "Give me a seat!" ”

Ling Zixu bowed and said, "How dare you!" ”

Si Chong's drunken eyes bent and smiled: "Okay, now that you are the king of Pingnan, you have a place in front of me!" ”

Ling Zixu thanked him, someone from the palace had already moved a chair over, and Ling Feixu was sitting in a precarious position, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

"King Pingnan!"

"Your Majesty!"

"I ask you, are all the secret letters you sent from the front line true?"

"It's true!"

"You said that you have made a private agreement with the prince of Chen Guo, is there really such a thing?"

"Back to Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing, now the Emperor Chen is seriously ill, if nothing happens, he will die soon, and the prince Chen Jingyi will succeed to the throne, and he will return the two cities.

"What if Chen Jingyi can't be the emperor? His imperial uncles are eyeing each other, is he sure of everything? ”

"According to Weichen's understanding, Chen Jingyi is ruthless and very decisive, it shouldn't be a big problem, besides, we have Princess Chen Guo in hand, and it is also a bargaining chip, if the old emperor does not die, he will definitely ask for Princess Chen Guo, and then he can exchange it at an equivalent price."

"Well, speaking of Princess Chen Guo, I heard that she has a peerless appearance, is it true?" Si Chong's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly changed the topic.

"Back to Your Majesty, according to Weichen, it is a false rumor, Princess Chen Guo has a mediocre appearance and a tyrannical temperament, she is simply a dominatrix, not beautiful." Ling Zixu's tone was firm.

Si Chongyi frowned: "Yes, where is she now?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, she is still detained in the barracks, she is a prisoner of our army, her status is special, and she needs to be ordered by the emperor!"

"What do you think?"

"According to Weichen, there are two places to go, Xicheng Prison is the strongest and the most heavily guarded."

"To hell?" Si Chong pondered, "What about the other place?" ”

"Another place to go is Weichen's palace."

"Your palace?" Si Chong was a little surprised, "Could it be that your palace is stronger than the Xicheng Prison?" ”

"No, Your Majesty, Chen Meiyu is a military general, taught by Tianmao, not only knows the art of war, but also martial arts, the king commander was picked off the horse and killed by her, Weichen also suffered a lot of losses from her, and it took a lot of effort to capture her, now although she is captured, wild and untamable, even if she is chained, ordinary people can't get close to her, not Weichen boasts, only Weichen can subdue her!"

"Only you can submit her? You still want to imprison her in your mansion? Ling Feixu, what do you want, fake public and private? She is the princess of Chen Guo, you imprisoned a princess in your palace, Feng Yun will agree, your mother will agree? What will others think of you! Si Chong's eyes were a little colder.

"Your Majesty, it's not a matter of Weichen who wants to take care of this right and wrong, just because Chen Meiyu is too strong and has martial arts, and she is not under the minister, if it is not useful to keep her, she should really kill her to avenge the king." Ling Zixu said busily.

"No, when did you meet her brother Chen Jingyi in private, didn't he mention to you that he wanted to return to Princess Chen Guo?" Si Chong looked at Ling Zixu, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts.

"Don't dare to hide Your Majesty, Chen Meiyu was sent to me by his brother, and I can't figure out the strangeness of this, logically speaking, it should be Chen Meiyu who blocked his way to seize the heir, and I have sent a fine work to infiltrate Chen Guo to find out the news in this regard."

"I see, you mean, it depends on the battle for the throne of Chen Guo this time, if her brother succeeds to the throne, will she be useless?"

"Not really, no matter what the outcome of Chen Guo's battle for the throne is, she is a good chess piece, this, I can't see it now, it will show up when the time comes, as a chess piece in our hands, we must firmly control her, at least we can't let her make trouble and cause trouble everywhere, only Weichen can completely control her, so that she doesn't have the slightest chance of disaster, so that when she is used, she can be handy."

"Are you afraid that Xicheng Prison won't be able to trap her, it's an impregnable wall!" Si Chong's eyes were heavy.

"Does Your Majesty know that the Heavenly Lady Sect is powerful?" Ling Zixu's eyes burned.

"Are you afraid that someone from the Heavenly Lady Sect will come to save her?" Si Chong is enlightened.

"At present, Chen Guo has no time to take care of her for the time being, and there will be no action, it is not easy to say about the Tianmu Sect, and it is necessary to guard against this in case, the most powerful thing in the Tianmu Sect is ecstasy, once they want to save people, they only need to lay down the ecstasy array, and all the guards in Xicheng Prison will become decorations, Weichen is not talented, he has learned the method of arranging formations in Ziyunguan, and Ruogu Daochang, and he is confident that he can prevent this in case."

"Well, Princess Chen Guo has a special identity, and if you capture her, she will be supervised by you for the time being, as for whether she will be sent to prison in the future, this still needs to be discussed with the ministers."

Ling Zixu immediately understood what the emperor meant, Lu Wang Sijue intended to accept Chen Meiyu, and the emperor even agreed, now that things have changed, the emperor must also consider it.

For today's plan, the idea of King Lu was eliminated, and King Lu took the initiative to give up, so that the emperor would fully agree to be supervised by him.

When Ling Zixu came out of the palace, night had fallen, and Ling Zixu did not return to the palace, but returned to the barracks.

The troops temporarily stationed thirty miles away were about to spread out to various places, and speaking of which, it was the last night, and after this to-night the temporary barracks would be lifted.

Ling Zixu didn't have time to go back to the palace, and he still had a lot of things to arrange.

He just sent Wei Feng to the palace to greet his mother Li Cihua on his behalf, and at the same time, he opened up an independent area in the back garden of the palace overnight to clean and decorate.
