Chapter 717: The Envoy Visits
Ouyang Chen was stunned, Concubine Qi's words surprised him and stunned at the same time, did she always think so in her heart? Have you always felt inferior because she was a dusty woman?
"I don't allow you to say such things, whether you are a dusty woman or not, I want to keep you by my side." Ouyang Chen's complexion softened, and his tone was much softer: "As long as you are willing, I can make you the queen, and when I unify the Three Kingdoms and become the overlord, you will be the supreme person!" ”
When Concubine Qi heard this, she was not moved by his words at all, but sneered: "You are really a good son of the first emperor, you have to help him finish everything that the first emperor failed to do, what can you do to unify the three kingdoms?" What if you kill as many people as you want? ”
"What do you mean?" Ouyang Chen had never told her about the last wish of the first emperor, hoping that he could destroy the Three Kingdoms and become the overlord, but where did Concubine Qi know?
Concubine Qi knew what he was suspicious of, but she smiled indifferently, her eyes were full of foxes, she raised her hand leisurely and picked up the kettle on the table, and poured herself a glass of water.
With a slender hand, he took the teacup and drank it all, and then said: "Don't forget, I used to be the concubine of the first emperor, I know everything about the first emperor, I also know what he is thinking, his greatest wish in this life is to be able to unify the three kingdoms, and his will will of course be passed on to you after his death." ”
"What else do you know?" Ouyang Chen's face sank again, he always felt that Concubine Qi was not favored before, because every time she was lucky, she would disappear, and over time, the first emperor would not favor her, but he didn't expect the first emperor to tell her everything, including his desire to unify the three kingdoms.
Concubine Qi still smiled, not panicked by his cold face, and spoke very slowly: "I don't know anything other than this, you also know that I usually have limited time with His Majesty, and he doesn't tell me everything." ”
Ouyang Chen obviously didn't believe it, but Concubine Qi said this, and he had no way to force him, Concubine Qi has always been a woman who can't be forced, just like he forced her to become his concubine, but she said that she would rather die than be with him.
The two fell into silence, Ouyang Chen didn't ask, Concubine Qi didn't say, there was a stalemate for a while, she slowly stood up, glanced at the candle was about to burn out, and then issued an eviction order: "Your Majesty, it's already so late, you better go back and rest, this Fengyi Palace is too small to allow Your Majesty to rest here." ”
Ouyang Chen thought that it had been some time since she got up, she didn't want people to know that she was still alive, and he didn't want anyone to be suspicious, so he stood up and walked outside the hall.
When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he paused again, looked back at Concubine Qi and said, "Soon I may be out of the palace for a while, you yourself be careful in the palace, and let Biyu inform me if there is anything." ”
Concubine Qi watched him walk out of the room quietly without answering, and quietly closed the door, but the corners of her mouth slowly appeared with a wry smile, and her voice was bitter and cold: "Emperor Xian, you are really taking precautions, you are no longer alive and you are still playing with people in the palm of your hand." ”
After saying that, she shook her head helplessly, her eyebrows were sad, and the faint brilliance in her eyes seemed to reveal endless sentimentality and melancholy.
Yu Huan never thought that if he sent an urn to Yasukuni, he would be able to make meritorious contributions, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice and be grateful.
Thinking about it, Ouyang Chen still reused him, he went to Yasukuni as an envoy, probably just to give him a step, after all, he is a veteran of the two dynasties, a founding father, and a famous strategist, Ouyang Chan took this opportunity to make him go down an embarrassing step, I am afraid that he will still appoint him as the minister of the court.
The envoy to Yasukuni was the next day, the weather was clear, the sun was shining, and the blue sky was cloudless, Yu Huan entered the palace with the urn, knelt down at the door of the palace of your proposed government, and saluted Ouyang Chen who was sitting on the dragon chair.
"Today, Yu Aiqing is going to Yasukuni, I have high hopes for Aiqing, I hope you can send the ashes of Concubine Yu back to Yasukuni, and also bring a sentence to the Yasukuni monarch Cang Linchen, just say that this is very grateful for what he has done to the desert in the desert, and one day he will definitely be rewarded."
When Ouyang Chen said this, a trace of cunning light flashed in his eyes, it can be said that if it weren't for Cang Rinchen, he would not have destroyed Southern Xinjiang so easily, nor would he become a desert stronger than Yasukuni so quickly.
I heard that Cang Rinchen is extremely smart and strategizing, but it's a pity, it's a pity, even if he has Sun Monkey's fiery eyes, no one can see through his Ouyang Chen's true thoughts.
"The old minister will definitely live up to the emperor's trust, and he will definitely hand over the urn of Concubine Yu to the Yasukuni Emperor and convey his majesty's words." Yu Huancheng was terrified, and kowtowed respectfully, showing his respect for Ouyang Chen.
I have to say that he is now throwing himself to the ground for the five bodies that Ouyang Chen admires, and Ouyang Chen's intelligence and wisdom are even ashamed of him as a strategist.
"Alright, let's go! Be careful along the way. Ouyang Chen raised his eyebrows and said to him, looking lazy, leaning on the dragon chair and rubbing his temples.
Yu Huan stepped back, Ouyang Chen grew up under his watch, and a small tree has now become a towering tree, making people can only look up.
Out of the palace, Yu Huan slowly walked towards Yasukuni with a pair of soldiers and horses sent to him by Ouyang Chen, and just when he was about to leave Yanxia City, a guard suddenly chased after him.
He wondered if it could be Ouyang Chen who had other things to order, so he grabbed the reins and stayed where he was, waiting for the guards to approach.
"Lord Yu, this is Your Majesty's request for the slave to be handed over to you, Lord Yu will take care all the way." The guards came and went as fast as they could, handed over a sachet in his hand, and left in a hurry.
Yu Huan was a little puzzled, the sachet was a blue black mandala flower, he held it in his hand, and found that there was no spice in the sachet, but a note.
He slowly pulled the note out of the sachet, but when he saw the handwriting on the note, he was dumbfounded, only to see the two words "self-cutting" on the note.
His heart suddenly fell to a low point, his face turned pale, and he suddenly laughed, and the corners of his eyes were already moist: "The old minister will live up to His Majesty's trust, please rest assured." ”
He said why did Ouyang Chen let him go so easily, it turned out that there was still a use in keeping his old life, Ouyang Chen's words he had to follow, this was the last thing he could do for the desert.
And at this time, Cang Rinchen also got the news, I heard that the envoy of the desert will send an envoy to Yasukuni, so he became nervous, the desert has just taken southern Xinjiang, and sent an envoy to Yasukuni, the intention is difficult to guess, but it has already made him uneasy.
It is not very clear whether Ouyang Chen's purpose is to annex them one by one, and now he can only be passive, and he can only wait and see what Ouyang Chen wants to do.
If the envoy just came to visit, if it was for other reasons, he could only improvise.
Xia Yinhuan could see that Cang Rinchen always looked depressed when she came in, in addition to reading medical books in the palace every day to kill time, she would occasionally go to the imperial dining room and tell the cook to cook some of his favorite meals and send them to the imperial study to see him.
Hopefully, he can ease his worries, from a medical point of view, if a person is in a state of depression and worry for a long time, it will not be long before he collapses.
Otherwise, why there are so many people with depression and madness in the world are caused by psychological pressure.
On this day, she personally went to the imperial dining room and asked the imperial chef to make a lotus root black chicken soup, which was personally placed in the food box and sent to the imperial study.
As soon as he walked to the gate of the temple, he heard the sound of nocturnal joy inside.
"Your Majesty, Tianhe City has sent an additional 100,000 soldiers and horses, ready to meet the battle at any time, and the envoy heard that he will be able to arrive today, but I don't know if he is here to inquire about the movement of our country." Ye Xinghuan was faintly worried, from the outside, the desert and Yasukuni were two countries, but Ouyang Chen's ambition had gradually been revealed.
It is very likely that he sent envoys at this time to probe the truth of Yasukuni, but he could not turn them away from Yasukuni because of his feelings and reasoning.
"Don't worry about whether he is here to find out the news, I am afraid that he will do some things after coming to Yasukuni, such as buying people's hearts and arranging his own people in the palace, etc." Ouyang Chen's tone was heavy, what he was most afraid of was that they had internal responses, his every move Ouyang Chen knew that once there was a war, he would be contained.
Hearing this, Xia Yinhuan pursed her mouth, stepped into the hall with a food box, looked at Cang Rinchen and then at Ye Xinghuan and said: "His Royal Highness King Lian, you still let Your Majesty rest and rest, think so much every day, can you fit it in your head?" ”
"This ......" Ye Xinghuan was a little crying and laughing in the face of Xia Yinhuan's accusation, and he was stunned, he saw the food box in her hand and smiled helplessly: "Weichen knows his mistake, so he will retreat." ”
Xia Yinhuan was worried that Cang Linchen was too tired, and if he couldn't even see this at night, he would be a courtier in vain.
Watching Ye Xinghuan go out of the palace gate, Cang Rinchen raised his eyes and looked at the corners of Xia Yinhuan's mouth, and said with some displeasure: "I and Xinghuan are talking about business, how can you drive away Xinghuan and let others talk about it?" ”
"Love is how to talk about it, and we don't live to show them, can we control it?" Xia Yinhuan didn't care about the gossip in the palace at all, and he couldn't cover the mouths of people all over the world if his mouth grew on others.
As she spoke, she had already opened the food box, and slowly took out the soup Gu in the food box and put it on the desk: "This is the soup that I personally supervised the imperial kitchen, if you don't give me all the drink today, I will ignore you in the future." ”
Every time a meal was delivered, he only ate a bite or two before losing his appetite, which made Xia Yinhuan secretly worried, afraid that if he continued like this, he would collapse sooner or later.
"Okay, you're a torturous leprechaun." Cang Rinchen was respectful and obedient, picked up a small bowl, and scooped a bowl himself, the soup was very fragrant, but he really didn't have much appetite.
Thinking of some things that might happen when the envoy arrived, he couldn't sit still, and he didn't know who Ouyang Chen would send to Yasukuni.
"Drink!" Seeing that he was stunned, Xia Yinhuan crossed his hands on his waist and roared a Hedong lion.
"Good, good!" Seeing that her shrew mode was activated, Cang Rinchen had no choice but to obey, holding a small bowl and not even using a spoon, and when she brought it to her mouth, it was like drinking, and she drank it all the time.
He handed the pottery bowl with daisy enamel to her and said, "I'm done drinking." ”
"One more bowl!" Xia Yinhuan didn't miss any opportunity to nourish his body, and hurriedly took the bowl and put another bowl on it.
At this moment, a father-in-law walked into the palace and reported: "Your Majesty, the desert envoy has arrived, and he asks to see His Majesty outside the palace." ”
"Arrange to go to the side hall, don't you see Your Majesty eating!" Before Cang Linchen could speak, Xia Yinhuan scolded directly, staring at the eunuch with a fierce face.
"Yes, yes." The eunuch didn't know what the queen was smoking, so he agreed and hurriedly withdrew from the imperial study.
And Cang Linchen had already stood up quietly, secretly trying to slip away from under her nose, but was still discovered by Xia Yinhuan.
Looking at each other and smiling, quite embarrassed, Cang Linchen couldn't escape, so he had to sit down obediently, and succumbed to Xia Yinhuan's obscenity and drank another bowl of chicken soup.
