The 197th round
Highly recommended:
"Daughter......" was silent for a long time, but Liu Ji opened his mouth first: "Hey......"
"Daddy, it's late at night...... Let's go back......" Actually, Liu Changxi at this time was really aggrieved and annoyed, and her heart was also full of resentment towards Princess Zonglu and complaints against her father, but she was extremely tired today, so she didn't want to say a word, turned around and went back to her yard.
"Daughter!" Liu Ji was worried and wanted to say something to the past.
"Dad, my daughter is really tired...... Please......" Liu Changxi's cold attitude made Liu Ji both a little helpless and a little discouraged.
After all, his girl really hasn't suffered such humiliation, hey...... Knowing that his daughter was uncomfortable, Liu Jiye didn't dare to persuade her, so he could only let her go.
turned around and sighed, and returned to his room, but Liu Ji couldn't settle down, after all, today's incident was a thorn in his heart.
At noon, when he learned that ** Chuan was suddenly engaged, Liu Ji, who had been thinking about his idea, was also extremely flustered and surprised.
After all, after reluctantly turning to Zonglu Wangfu after all these years of intimacy with Zhao Zongtong, it was precisely because he valued the future of ** Sichuan and the future of Zonglu Wangfu, so he was ruthless and bet on ** Chuan.
He Liu Ji also paid a great price for making such a decision, after all, once his daughter and ** Chuan became a good thing, it was bound to be completely opposed to Zhao Zongtong, and the rumors at that time can be imagined.
It's just that in Liu Ji's calculations, as long as he can climb the big tree of Zonglu Wangfu, he will definitely be rich and glorious in the future, and his grace will be unlimited, after all, everyone knows that King Zonglu is the most likely prince to inherit the throne, and Liu Jiye is aiming at this.
That's why he tried so hard to promote his daughter and ** Chuan, and he didn't care about the eyes and discussions of outsiders.
Because, in Liu Ji's cognition, power means everything, everything...... So even if he sacrificed his daughter a little, he would not hesitate.
Knowing that his daughter didn't understand, and even had some more or less resistance, Liu Ji felt that he was ultimately for his daughter's good, so he chose to avoid those emotions or turn a blind eye.
Fortunately, **Chuan is as obsessed with his daughter's talent as Zhao Zongtong, and he almost can't stop, so he is willing to continue to go like this, and he is about to succeed, but suddenly at this time, the news of his engagement came, how could Liu Ji not panic.
This can be regarded as a half-way cutoff, if there is no room for turnaround, then his follow-up plans will not all fall through, Zhao Zongtong has already appeared suspicious, if ...... Hiss...... Then he and his daughter are really chickens and eggs, and they have calculated such a game in vain.
No, absolutely not, Liu Ji is very unwilling.
Obviously, he has done so many things for King Zonglu, and he was fascinated by his daughter, and she didn't marry, but why did he do such a sudden thing.
Yes, Wang Shangshu is also a big family, and he is also a good match with the Zonglu Palace, but before it was obviously the Prince of Zonglu who responded to it personally, but now he suddenly changed his mind, not only changed others, but also so quickly, what does this mean?
Could it be that they are deliberately avoiding their father and daughter? What did he do for him all these years?
No, no, the more Liu Ji thought about it, the more unwilling he became, and he was thinking about how to find a way to meet **Chuan and ask what the situation was.
didn't think that Liu Ji hadn't had time to go, **Chuan he came that night.
And after drinking wine, he kept chanting his daughter's name in his mouth, and that dejected appearance made Liu Ji happy in his heart, and seemed to see hope again.
It's just that in the end, he still has to take into account the face of the Zonglu Palace, so Liu Ji sent someone to the Zonglu Palace, and then found his daughter to take care of ** Sichuan on his behalf.
It was because Liu Ji deliberately arranged it that the chaotic scene just now happened.
He wanted the Zonglu palace to know **Chuan's love for his daughter, and he also wanted them to know his attitude, and he wanted to take the opportunity to put pressure, but he didn't expect Princess Zonglu to have a big temper and make a move, hey...... I'm really wronged......
However, after a farce tonight, Liu Ji is more and more determined in his previous plan.
Ay...... In the Zonglu Palace, the more Princess Zonglu thought about what happened that night, the more angry she became, ** Chuan was depressed, and the angry Princess Zonglu simply went to the palace to find Concubine Yin for help.
At this time, on the official road to the northwest, King Zonglu and Wang Gonggong and their entourage have already passed most of the journey, and it is expected that they will arrive in another three or two days.
The prince was ordered by the emperor and was very anxious, but King Zonglu was nervous all the way, especially the further north he went, the more uneasy he became.
It turned out that before he set off, he had received a letter of questioning and threats from the Huns, although the Jingzhong palace had already made preparations and taken strict precautions, but no one could say anything about the things on the road.
After all, it is a matter of losing his head, even if King Zonglu is uneasy, it is impossible to make a noise, let alone let outsiders see anything, especially the prince.
Let the prince see what clues, it means that the emperor knows everything, and King Zonglu can only try to hide his anxiety.
It's a pity that the Xiongnu suffered heavy losses, and they didn't intend to make the conspiring King Zonglu feel better at all, so on the way north, the general threatening letters were sent one after another.
King Zonglu's heart became more and more uneasy, and he felt that there must be fraud in going to the northwest camp, so he was extra careful along the way, for fear that Zhao Zongtong would secretly send someone to design him.
But I didn't expect Zhao Zongtong to be quiet all the time, but the people of the Huns kept pestering with letters, King Zonglu was unbearable, and the princes were also a little suspicious.
However, King Zonglu always prevaricated in the name of family letters, and the prince reluctantly didn't ask more, but he knew in his heart that something must be wrong.
After all, the prince has served the emperor for decades, what kind of deception and interest have never been seen, not to mention that the emperor still instructed him like that before leaving, the prince has always questioned King Zonglu, but he never broke it.
Although the prince didn't bother him too much, King Zonglu's heart still couldn't settle down, because no matter how he explained, the Huns refused to believe it, and a few urgent letters explained everything.
No matter how he replied to explain Zhao Zongtong's situation, the Xiongnu did not admit it, and only believed that seeing was believing and hearing was false, that is, he believed that he violated their agreement and deceived them, so they were like this, so this hatred, King Zonglu could not get rid of it, and now he is also tired of coping with it, and he is anxious.
If it is in Beijing, it is safer no matter how it is said, but the northwest camp is not far from the border between the two countries, if the Huns really have a secret plan, then he is not really dangerous, King Zonglu thought in his heart, so the closer to the northwest, the more uneasy he became.
Even a little suspicious, on guard, the prince is smart, still just watching, but asking.
In Beijing, King Zong Guang has begun to secretly investigate the dark line of this incident in the capital.
It's best to find ironclad evidence, but it's definitely quite difficult, but in any case, you have to check it one by one, at least you can tie King Zonglu for a while, and sometimes containment is also a way to play.
Three days later, King Zonglu and Wang Gonggong arrived in the northwest with their people, but they had no time to rest, so they hurried to the military camp early the next morning.
Zhao Zongtong received the news last night, knowing that they would come this morning, so he specially instructed everyone not to worry, he was even more leisurely, and when they arrived, he still looked like he had just gotten up.
Jiang Mo and Zhao Chaoxuan were more anxious than Zhao Zongtong, one got up early, and the other came over early, all of them gathered in the inner tent, staring at each other with big eyes.
Zhao Zongtong let them surround them like this, and they had already woken up, but they didn't get up for a long time, and they were half-lying and half-lying in a nightgown and laughing with them, like a nobody.
"Master, the prince and the king of Zonglu have arrived." As he was talking, Bai Youxiao outside came in with a smile, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry.
"Whew...... It's coming! Zhao Chaoxuan and Jiang Mo got up in a hurry.
"Huh...... All right...... Here it is...... Well, let's just say I'm not feeling well, just got up, and ask them to go to the outer tent later. Zhao Zongtong sat up unhurriedly and said.
"Yes, sir." Bai You didn't have any doubts and turned to go out.
Zhao Chaoxuan said with a monkey on his face: "Little uncle, ...... are you?"
"What's the hurry, take your time...... What we have is time...... Girl, hand me the towel......" Zhao Zongtong looked calm and calm, so relaxed that he couldn't do it.
"Well, little uncle, towel ......" Jiang Mo took the handle.
"But......" Zhao Chaoxuan was still a little anxious.
"What's in a hurry, if you want to be in a hurry, they should be in a hurry, hmm......" Zhao Zongtong was still slow.
"Little uncle, tea ......" Jiang Mo seemed to understand Zhao Zongtong's intention of deliberately hanging King Zonglu, so he also became unhurried.
"Well, don't worry, sit down, they can afford to wait." Zhao Zongtong smiled while taking the tea and eating it.
"Uh......" Zhao Chaoxuan looked at Zhu Xi and Jiang Mo on the side.
