Chapter 174: The Wind of Succession looms
Afraid of leaking the true face of the tiger, but how could Princess Changyun listen to it, saying that it was just to let the tiger fly a few times, drill a ring of fire, etc., what can be leaked, the more secretive it is, the more suspicious it is, the envoys felt that it was reasonable, so they agreed.
It's just that as soon as the tiger came to power, the black civet from the northern side was also carried up, and the envoys suddenly felt bad, but Changyun was already delirious and returned to his seat with the support of King Lu and fell asleep.
So everyone was stunned to watch a big scene of flying eagles vs. black civets. The envoy of Changguo was sweating profusely as he watched the tiger torture the black civet to death little by little, and the terrifying screams made everyone present stand up with cold hair.
The emperor looked at the last corpse and understood, it turned out that Feng'er was right, and it was really the people of Changguo who were making waves, and he shouldn't have believed that the lord of Changguo would cede the land. But he behaved very steadily this time, because he wanted to listen to King Ning's desire to catch that big fish, so he didn't say anything. At the end of the banquet, everyone looked at the Changguo envoy with different eyes, and the Changguo envoy returned to the embassy tremblingly.
From then on, the expulsion operation led by King Ning began, and King Ning commanded the crown prince to gather important ministers in the court to discuss the border guard plan. King Lu was responsible for opening up internal relations with Changyun and inquiring about news. King Ning was in charge of monitoring these cholera organizations in Yonghan's territory, and he didn't know how Jiang Yu provided him with a place to prepare for them to hide, anyway, he was very surprised, not only Jiang Yu's clever calculations but also the boldness of those people.
King Ning's preparations became more and more sufficient, Jiang Yu watched Concubine Mei become more and more frightened, her eyeliner was pulled out one by one, and the envoys were strictly controlled, just two days before the competition, the lord of Changguo entered the city, and he tightly brought two hundred guards and a few maids to accompany him.
At the moment when he entered the city, King Ning launched an attack in one fell swoop, and finally arrested the mysterious organization in one fell swoop. The people of the mysterious organization had not heard anything at all, and they had no idea that their hiding place had leaked out early.
At the same time, after making sure that the northern kingdom had no intention of rebelling and fully controlled the key points of the border fortress, King Ning discussed with the Khan and decided to take this opportunity to kill Yu Yonghan, the lord of Changguo. Unite the northern kingdom to divide the Chang country.
All this seemed so smooth, until the day before the competition, Jiang Yu, King Ning, Chi You, and the prince discussed together.
"Sister-in-law Wang is really a good idea, tomorrow's competition, Zhao Yu, the lord of the Chang Kingdom, will definitely send his own people to fight with Sister-in-law Wang, sister-in-law Wang pretended to be injured, let's treat him for the crime of deliberately murdering the royal family, this trick is really clever."
Ye Shengqiong admired Jiang Yu more and more, and was looking at Jiang Yu with admiration at the moment, feeling a pity that she was not a man, if a man was a man, he would definitely be a pillar of the imperial court.
King Ning frowned slightly, very unhappy: "Yu'er, are you sure you won't get hurt?" Although King Ning knew Jiang Yu's ability, no one could hurt her, but he still blamed himself very much for using Jiang Yu as bait. He was also very worried, if he could, King Ning didn't want Jiang Yu to be in any danger, but King Ning found that he couldn't control Jiang Yu's thoughts.
"Since I proposed this method, I am naturally 100% sure."
Jiang Yu gave him a comforting look and patted his hand. Prince Ye Shengqiong took a sour breath.
"Don't worry, third brother, Chiyou and I will definitely work hard to protect the safety of sister-in-law Wang. But speaking of which, this mysterious lord of Changguo is nothing more than this when he met him in the court this morning. After Ye Shengqiong finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh when he remembered Zou Rui, who had looked away. Now Zou Rui was also sent to the countryside by the old lady of the Guogong Mansion to be with his mother, and the prince was also benevolent and righteous to her.
"If he had the ability, he wouldn't have fallen into our trap." King Ning sneered, he laughed at some people who don't do their best, and they just have to force themselves to a dead end when they have a stable life.
Jiang Yu was faintly uneasy, in fact, she really wanted to meet this Changguo lord, she hadn't seen him in this life, so she couldn't see what happened to him. It's just that her identity is not convenient, in Jiang Yu's eyes, Zhao Yu is a person who makes people feel unfathomable at a glance, but how can people who have seen him now have a low opinion of him, Jiang Yu is puzzled. Maybe they haven't really understood Zhao Yu yet.
Just as King Lu commented that Zhao Yu is the most peace-loving person in the world, she will not agree with her, but she thinks that Zhao Yu is a person who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
But when I see him tomorrow, I can see his conspiracy, but I don't know if it's too late, and if all these preparations will be able to deal with it.
The next day, it is a major day in the palace, everyone is very excited, there is a martial arts competition in the palace today, in fact, the annual prince competition is basically based on Ye Shengfeng's victory as the final ending, there is no suspense, but this year is different, the princes shoot the so-called apprentices are actually their own henchmen, this is also a good time for the courtiers to see the strength of the princes.
The comparison between the princes has never stopped, although the prince is Ye Shengqiong now, but no one is convinced, firstly, he has nothing special, secondly, he is too young, if Ye Shengfeng is the prince, everyone may still have self-knowledge, but King Ning is unwilling to be the prince, then the other princes are also princes after all, who will not covet that throne.
And Ye Shengqiong's strong backer is Ye Shengfeng, Ye Shengfeng supports Ye Shengqiong, they are the same mother, and the mother is the queen of the noble status, not that others can compare. In addition to being attached to Ye Shengfeng, Ye Shengqiong also has a hobby of doing business, and now he often goes to Jiang Yu to discuss how to operate better, and Jiang Yu has reaped a lot of benefits from it.
Most of the courtiers supported the crown prince, because supporting the prince was to support King Ning and the empress, and it was also in accordance with the etiquette system. But in recent years, Ye Shengnan, the son of Concubine Li, has been wooing officials everywhere, and his intentions are obvious, but the Khan Emperor has turned a blind eye, and the courtiers have become a little turbulent.
When Ye Shengfeng was busy setting up a bureau to arrest the mysterious organization, the other princes were going all out to prepare for this competition, and whoever could get the support of the most powerful sect in the rivers and lakes was undoubtedly one of the biggest guarantees for winning the heir.
Of course, Ye Shengfeng and the prince haven't realized this matter yet, especially the prince who thinks a little simply. He thought that he could sit back and relax by relying on King Ning, but in fact, he even thought about what if he was not the crown prince, he already had a lot of money, and he didn't realize that he had been able to ride a tiger.
When Jiang Yu followed King Ning to the scene of the competition, he successively looked at the people who participated in the competition, and the people standing next to each prince, Jiang Yu realized that a bigger crisis was waiting for the two Ye Shengfeng brothers.
Soon, Jiang Yu was reminded by King Ning to see a man about 40 years old swaggering into the pavilion. That is Zhao Yu, Jiang Yu had seen him in his previous life, but at the first glance, he felt that something was not quite right, but he couldn't say anything. I wanted to touch the bracelet to check, but I was told to go backstage to prepare.
Jiang Yu could only go to prepare for the competition first.
Everyone in the audience has begun to discuss, and Jiang Yu's performance not long ago made everyone look forward to it.
