Chapter 606: The Matter of Peace
Xia Yinhuan didn't say anything, in fact, she really liked life outside the palace, although she may be poor all her life, although she may be inactive, but it is a thousand times better than in the palace.
However, she can't covet the world, marry Cang Linchen, and fall in love with her, then she must make the necessary sacrifices, stay by his side, accompany him, this is her duty as a wife.
The two experienced a day outside the palace, and when they returned to the palace, it was already nightfall, and the autumn rain fell, hiding the entire palace in melancholy.
Cang Rinchen's purpose of going out of the palace to find Xia Yinhuan was very simple, he just wanted to take her back to the palace to discuss the affairs of the desert, and on the other hand, he didn't worry about her wandering outside the palace alone.
The imperial study at night was still brightly lit, Cang Linchen pushed a large number of music aside, pulled Xia Yinhuan to sit on the chair, propped up the table and looked at her for a moment and said: "The messenger of the desert is coming soon, think about how to talk to them about peace, you have always been smart, you help me ponder." ”
Xia Yinhuan was still holding a Danqing painted by Cang Rinchen for her tightly, although she was unforgiving, she was actually very happy in her heart, and she was very satisfied with Cang Rinchen's work.
She didn't pay attention to Cang Linchen's question, her eyes were not looking at him, she lazily leaned on the back of the Taishi's chair and said absentmindedly: "I'm not your courtier, I don't need to participate in these things." ”
She is not good at political affairs, and she can't understand those things that are negotiated in the officialdom at all, and the more she stirs up, the more chaotic she becomes.
"They're all a bunch of rubbish, and they don't know anything but flattery." Cang Linchen thought of those civil and military officials, and he couldn't pretend to talk too much, and when there was something important, they all seemed to be dumb, and they didn't know anything!
"So what do you want, tell me what you think." Xia Yinhuan raised Erlang's legs and asked with his feet upside down like a leader.
She also knows very well that there are few people in the court who are useful, except for the nocturnal joy that can still be seen.
"I thought, since we want to negotiate peace, it is better to make an agreement, and then hand Ouyang Chen into the hands of the Desert Emperor, or make the minister's daughter a princess and marry Ouyang Chen to facilitate a marriage." Cang Linchen thinks so, marriage has been a good way to form an alliance since ancient times, and emperors have tried it many times since ancient times.
Xia Yinhuan held his chin in his hand and pondered carefully, marriage is nothing more than a way, but what about after marriage.
"I don't think things will be so simple, you arrested Ouyang Chen and locked him in the prison, he will definitely hold a grudge, if you let him go, wouldn't it be a tiger to return to the mountain, and the desert family has a big business, and it is only a matter of an instant to want revenge." Xia Yinhuan analyzed it in an orderly manner, "I think it's better to take this opportunity to make a profit, and it can deter the desert emperor and win benefits for Yasukuni!" ”
Hearing this, Cang Rinchen felt that there was some truth, Ouyang Chen was a person who held grudges, and he was also very worried that he would be burned after putting him back.
However, at this time, the only way now, he thought about it and felt that something was wrong: "Then if you make a fortune, it will make the Desert Emperor angry, wouldn't it be worth the loss?" ”
"No, don't forget who our hostages are." As soon as Yin Huan's words fell, Cang Linchen had already looked at her and smiled evilly, needless to say, he already understood what Yin Huan meant.
The next day, after the baptism of autumn rain all night, the air was a little cooler, which made people deeply feel the arrival of autumn, but fortunately, the weather was still good, and the sun was hidden in the clouds.
Early in the morning, as soon as the morning came, someone came to report, saying that the assistant king sent by the Desert Emperor had arrived, and Cang Linchen couldn't care about anything else and hurriedly went to the palace gate with Ande to greet him.
The assistant king was still wearing the clothes of the desert, wearing a tiger skin, wearing a felt hat, and a string of Buddhist beads hanging around his neck.
"The prince has come from afar, and the boat and car are tiring, so it is better to stay in the palace first." Cang Linchen didn't mind his arrogant appearance, but said to Ande kindly: "Go and clean up the side hall of the East Palace for the prince to rest." ”
Generally speaking, in this palace, except for him, Cang Linchen has no one else who can live in the palace for the night, but Cang Linchen deliberately let him live in the palace, which is a kind of glory for him at this time.
"There's no hurry." The auxiliary king suddenly opened his mouth, glanced at Cang Rinchen with slanted eyes, and said: "This king only came to take His Highness away this time, can you hand over His Highness to us first?" ”
Before leaving, the Desert Emperor asked him to bring Ouyang Chen back to the desert, but he didn't even see Ouyang Chen's face, so it was really difficult to feel at ease.
"Since the prince said so, I will also open the skylight and say something." Cang Rin Chen's face was cold, in his opinion, this assistant king is clearly an inch, he really thinks he is a character, he didn't look at the auxiliary king and said coldly: "The prince also knows that the desert and southern Xinjiang formed an alliance to attack our Yasukuni, so that Yasukuni lost a lot of elite soldiers and strong generals, I don't know what the prince thinks of this matter, should he compensate Yasukuni?" ”
Xia Yinhuan means to deter the desert, not to let the desert be too majestic, and the war with the southern part of the desert makes the Yasukuni treasury not as good as before, but his blatant blackmail will make the desert unsure of the real strength of Yasukuni.
Cang Rinchen squinted his eyes and observed the expression of the assistant king, only to see that his eyes were evasive, a little weak-hearted, and he pretended to be tough in vain: "Regardless of compensation or not, I must see with my own eyes that His Highness is safe!" ”
In terms of compensation, although the Desert Emperor did not have clear instructions, the assistant king knew very well that now he was coming to Yasukuni to take people away, and it was on the territory of Yasukuni, and it was absolutely impossible to pay nothing if he wanted to.
"I see that the prince is too anxious." Cang Rinchen snorted coldly, and immediately lowered his face: "The envoy from southern Xinjiang has not yet arrived, since it is the alliance between the desert and southern Xinjiang to invade our Yasukuni first, then it is not too late to wait for the envoy from southern Xinjiang to come." ”
After that, he gave Ander a look, and Ander understood, made a gesture of invitation and said to the auxiliary king: "Lord, please come with the minion?" ”
The auxiliary king was angry, but it was not easy to attack, and he had no room to refute when he spoke, so he had to give up, snorted and walked away.
Seeing him turn around and leave, Cang Rinchen's face completely cooled, it was really whimsical to want to bargain from him, this time he wanted the desert and southern Xinjiang to know that he was not a sick cat but a tiger that ate meat and drank blood!
The auxiliary king was angry, and originally wanted to say that it would be better to live in the palace, but when he saw the so-called side hall of the East Palace, his face was immediately a little darker than the pot black!
The accommodation arranged for him by Cang Linchen is not a good place to live, if it is said that the side hall is more than an abandoned palace, outside the hall is an unattended pool, and there are dead duckweed floating in Tan, and there is a foul smell.
The courtyard was full of weeds, and no one had built them, and the weeds in the corners could grow to the height of a person's waist.
"Lord Wang, please follow the servants into the palace." Seeing him like this, Ande covered his mouth and laughed secretly, secretly saying that His Majesty's idea was really clever, obviously respecting the desert envoy and letting him live in the side hall of the East Palace, but secretly humiliating him.
This East Palace's west side hall Ande knows that it used to be the place where the palace servants who wore the East Palace lived, but then it was empty when it was moved.
Because it has been idle and remote, it has become what it is today over time.
When the auxiliary king saw this scene, his heart was furious, and he had no choice but to knock out his front teeth and swallow them in his stomach, and followed Ander into the palace.
Fortunately, the hall has obviously been cleaned, there are no cobwebs, although the furnishings are old, but it can live for a person.
"Alright, you go down." The assistant king said coldly, his face had not been good-looking.
Ander retreated, and at last burst out laughing, and he couldn't help laughing at the fact that the assistant king looked like he had eaten a dead fly.
Seeing that Ander had gone away, and that there were no slaves and maids in the palace, the assistant king asked the two men he had brought to stay outside the palace, and took a bag from the guards and went into the inner room.
After a while, a middle-aged father-in-law looked like a man came out of the hall, and he glanced at the two guards and ordered: "Keep watch at the door, if anyone comes, say that the king is resting, and no one will be seen." ”
After doing this, he walked to the place he had written down in his mind, in fact, he entered the capital last night, and as soon as he arrived at the post station, he received a letter, which contained only a few words and a map of the Yasukuni Palace.
A few words on the letter read: "If you want to save the prince, go to the red dot and meet you." ”
The red dot on the map was a palace, and just this morning he received another package, which was the outfit of the father-in-law in the palace.
He asked the person who sent the package, and only after ordering and coercing did he know who the person he was going to find was, it was the biological mother of the current saint, Concubine Yu!
There were not many people in the palace of Concubine Yu in the morning, and she usually had nothing to do, so she just chanted Buddha and chanted sutras when she was idle.
When the auxiliary king arrived, she was sitting on the top of the beauty, half-covering her eyes, turning the Buddhist beads made of sandalwood in her hand.
Seeing the auxiliary king coming, she brightened her eyes and looked at the person standing in front of her: "Coming?" ”
Her voice is very calm, like an old friend who has been reunited for a long time, a long-lost meeting, and a hello is familiar.
The assistant king looked at the calm woman, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, and even more puzzled and a little vigilant: "What do you mean by coming to me?" ”
If he remembers correctly, Concubine Yu is the emperor's biological mother, shouldn't she be of the same mind as the emperor, but the emperor obviously wants to blackmail him, should this Concubine Yu want to blackmail him more?
"It's not a secret, the mourning family once sent someone to the heavenly prison to rescue Your Highness, but unfortunately it didn't work." Concubine Yu sighed with a very sorry look, and gently put the Buddha beads on the table, with some sadness in her eyebrows.
"The dungeon?" The assistant prince frowned, his face was condensed, and his voice was raised: "You actually imprisoned His Highness in the heavenly prison?" ”
He knew what the heavenly prison was, the heavenly prison was a place where the condemned prisoners were kept, and he thought that Cang Rinchen would detain Ouyang Chen in the palace or in the courtyard next to him to respect the desert, but he didn't expect Cang Rinchen to have no one in his eyes like this!
"That's right, Prison." Concubine Yu smiled faintly bitterly and then said: "It is not suitable for the prince here to stay for a long time, and the mourning family will make a long story short, the mourning family knows that you want to save the prince, but don't be restless and don't do superfluous things, the heavenly prison is heavily guarded and cannot be forced, and everything has to wait for the prince Tuoba Ce to come before making plans." ”
Although the assistant king didn't know what medicine she was selling in her gourd, she was surprisingly convinced of Concubine Yu's words, and had already heard that Concubine Yu was at odds with the emperor.
"Okay, this king has written it down, and he will take his leave." The assistant king turned around and left, this is the palace, it is the world of dust, he better listen to Concubine Yu's words and don't act rashly.
