Chapter 226 Mysteries abound
The court situation after the Chinese New Year suddenly became lively. The news of Xiyan's change of sky has been transmitted back to Jingzhao, and Mu Xiuji, the secretary of Honglu Temple, immediately reported this matter to Emperor Changtai, along with the news of the suspension of the mutual market and martial law at the border, it was also submitted to Emperor Changtai.
With such a change in the political situation in Xiyan, how will Dayong be affected? - This is a matter discussed by the court officials, and it is also a matter that Emperor Changtai is worried about.
Shen Huashan, the squire of the Chinese book, Chen Zhihao, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and other officials quickly suggested to Emperor Changtai: The rulers and military guards must have a sense of vigilance and the strength to fight!
According to the advice of these officials, Emperor Changtai urgently ordered Xie Tongfu, the observer of Xining Province, and Peng Mingyi, the general of Xining Wei, to pay close attention to the changes in the situation in Xiyan and act on each other, so as to ensure the tranquility and stability of Xining Province as the first priority; He also urgently ordered the household department and the military department to transport military rations, bows and crossbows, and other heavy items to Xining Road.
In the whole posture, it seems that a battle between Dayong and Xiyan is inevitable.
Jingzhao officials are worried, although Xining Road is far away from Jingzhao, but if the border is restless and Xiyan invades, the political situation in Dayong will definitely be shaken, how can they sit in Jingzhao?
The officials of the second prince's family were particularly nervous, originally they all planned to ask the second prince to be the crown prince after the New Year, but now that there is a matter of Xiyan, the Jingzhao officials are panicked, and at this time, they really can't ask for the prince anymore.
Even if it is mentioned, the emperor will not agree, it will cause the anger of the court officials, and it will ruin the good situation of the second prince, this thing must not be done!
"Uncle, can't you really mention it? Shangguan Changzhi frowned. When he asked, his eyes became unbearable and fierce.
Since Shangguan Changzhi was circled, that position is in his pocket, and now he almost takes it out and shows it to everyone justifiably. I didn't expect that now that such a thing as Xiyan was intervened, the matter of asking for the crown prince had not been mentioned to the court for a long time, which made Shangguan Chengyou feel aggrieved!
When Prince De was sick and weak, Shangguan Chengyou felt that that position should be his own, and he waited for so many years. Prince De is finally here! Now that he's been waiting for another two years, he can't wait any longer!
This is endless, when will the father and emperor issue the will to make him the crown prince?
"Your Highness, don't be impatient. Now the courtiers are worried about the political situation in Xiyan, and it is really not the time to ask for a prince. Your Highness has been waiting for so many years, why not wait another month or two? On the long and respectful. The crown prince is none other than His Royal Highness, and there is no prince and His Royal Highness to fight. Your Highness must not be in a hurry now. ”
Zhang Xinghua said, although he also felt that he was not with me, but in a month or two, the second prince could still afford to wait.
"Your Highness, don't worry, Wei Chen estimates. The influence of the political situation in Xiyan on Daeyong was limited. Sima Hao had just ascended the throne, and what he needed most was stability. What is needed most is time! He needs time to rein in Xiyan's forces, and he also needs time to calm down the situation in Xiyan, so at present, Xiyan will definitely not open a station against Dayong. Although Xiningwei has done enough to fight, it will definitely be fine. The mutual market will definitely be reopened, and martial law will be lifted at the border gates, so His Highness only needs to wait patiently for a month or two. ”
Chen Zhihao also said on the side, judging the situation in Xiyan. He's still very confident. Unless Sima Hao doesn't want to be the Emperor of Xiyan anymore, he will definitely continue to be friendly with Dayong.
Shangguan Chengyou listened to Chen Zhihao's words. The brow also loosened slightly.
Then he can only wait for another month or two, two months, and it will pass in the blink of an eye, that is, he can still afford to go to Zichen Hall to ask for peace a few more times.
Chen Zhihao's prediction was not wrong, and in mid-February, Xiyan sent a messenger to send a letter of state, and the new emperor of Xiyan, Sima Hao, would uphold the will of Sima Zheng, the first emperor of Xiyan, and continue to maintain a good relationship with Dayong.
On the national letter, Sima Hao recalled the good past of Xiyan and Dayong, and also thanked the exchanges between the envoys of the two countries, saying that the arrival of the envoy of Dayong four years ago brought a lot of good news to Xiyan, and the year before last he went to Dayong, and also benefited a lot, the relationship between Xiyan and Dayong is like brotherhood and harmony, such as good friends and relatives, etc.
In addition to such façade words, Sima Hao also said that the mutual market between Xiyan and Dayong will be reopened next month, and the martial law order on the border of Xiyan will also be revoked, and at the same time he also issued an invitation to Dayong: Xiyan warmly welcomes the visit of the Dayong delegation to promote exchanges and friendship between the two countries.
Sima Hao also specially greeted the five princes, Shangguan Changzhi, and said that the five princes were friendly and courteous, courteous and courteous, and were the expression of great eternity, and also invited him to send an envoy to Xiyan with the mission to feel the customs and human feelings of Xiyan.
This letter of state made Emperor Changtai breathe a sigh of relief, and the reopening of the mutual market, the abolition of martial law, and the two countries to avoid disputes and continue to maintain friendship, which was the thing that he, the emperor, was most happy to see.
When he was young, he had the courage and determination to personally conquer Xiyan, but now that he is old, he no longer wants to have such a rush, he just wants to stay in Jingzhao in peace, and he hopes that it is the best to rise to peace in the four seas.
After breathing a sigh of relief, he also felt a little blocked in his heart, Xiyan and Da Yong, like brothers and friends, this Sima Hao is just a kid, so he dares to call himself a brother? It's almost the same as being your own children and grandchildren!
This Sima Hao is really a big deal! Thinking of the arrogant prince of Xiyan that he saw the year before last, Emperor Changtai sneered a little, there is no tiger and monkey in the mountains to be the king, this Xiyan, decline is a matter of time!
Emperor Changtai thought of Shangguan Changzhi mentioned in the national letter again, thought of the five princes who were imprisoned in the Five Princes' Mansion, the five princes with vague blood, until now, he is not sure whether that is his own emperor or not!
When Sima Hao sent Dayong the year before last, he was received by the fifth child, when did they have such a good relationship? Sima Hao actually mentioned him in the national letter and invited him to Xiyan? What is this Sima Hao's intentions?
The emperor of one country has a good relationship with the prince of another country, how weird does this feel, is there any secret connection between the fifth child and Sima Hao?
"Zhang Sheng, you go to check, is there a secret connection between the fifth prince and Sima Hao? Keep an eye on the officials of Xiyan and his party who sent the letter of state! In addition, let the guards waiting in the Five Princes' Mansion relax a little, tight inside and loose outside, I want to take a look. What does the fifth want to do! Emperor Changtai said in a deep voice.
What he is most worried about is that Lao Wu and Sima Hao have collusion, if Lao Wu secretly tells Sima Hao about Dayong, then he is treason!
"The five princes are mentioned in the national book?" Shen Ning listened to Shen Huashan's words, a little stunned.
Sima Hao and Shangguan Changzhi are so friendly? The emperor won't release Shangguan Changzhi because of Sima Hao's letter of state, right? No, no, the emperor will definitely not do this.
Why did Sima Hao mention Shangguan Changzhi in the national book? Is it for him to intercede or for what?
"Sima Hao wants the life of the fifth prince!" Suddenly, Shen Ning reacted. yelled.
Sima Hao said good things about Shangguan Changzhi in the national book, not to plead, but to ask for his life!
With Emperor Changtai's suspicious character, he would definitely think that Sima Hao and Shangguan Changzhi were secretly colluding, and he would definitely send someone to investigate the authenticity of this matter. If at this time, there is another Xiyan envoy to contact Shangguan Changzhi. Then Emperor Changtai will decide that Shangguan Changzhi is treasonous, and Shangguan Changzhi will definitely die!
"Why did Sima Hao do this?" After Shen Ningyi said it, Shen Huashan also thought of this possibility.
Sima Hao is very scheming, he wouldn't know that the five princes have been imprisoned in the Five Emperors' Mansion, so he deliberately mentioned the five princes in the national book and put him to death? Is there a feud between them or is it for something else?
Shen Huashan couldn't figure it out. According to their previous inference, Sima Hao and the Fifth Prince must have had a secret agreement. They used to work together. So there will be no grudges, and Sima Hao has already ascended the throne, why would he do this?
"Maybe it's for Princess Yan Cheng? Maybe he wants to avenge Princess Yancheng? Shen Yuhong said with some hesitation.
The year before last, Princess Yan Cheng had an affair with the guards in Dayong, and died not long after returning to Xiyan, will Sima Hao hold a grudge because of this?
Immediately, he overturned his thoughts, the reason why Princess Yancheng had an accident. It was Sima Hao who made it himself, how could he avenge Princess Yancheng?
"I can't guess now! Keep a close eye on the envoys of the Western Yan. Looking at who they have dealings with in addition to the contact with the five princes, maybe things will be clear! Shen Huashan said.
Now I can't think of it, I can only see what news there is over there.
Not long after the envoys of Xiyan submitted their credentials, they received a reply from Dayong, and they soon asked Emperor Changtai for their resignation.
Emperor Changtai looked at the departing envoy with a gloomy face, and the anger in his heart suddenly burst out, and his eyes were gloomy.
Zhang Sheng came to report earlier, the Xiyan envoy really secretly colluded with Shangguan Changzhi, and I don't know what they talked about secretly, in short, the Xiyan envoy got a few letters from Shangguan Changzhi, and Zhang Sheng was also convinced, and there was a map of Xining Road in the letter!
Isn't this treason? How would a prince betray his country?! No, that's not a prince, that's a dog mongrel! At this moment, Emperor Changtai had a murderous intent against Shangguan Changzhi.
"Do you see clearly? The person who came into contact with the envoy of Xiyan was really a member of the Bian family? Hearing the report from Ruliu, Shen Huashan couldn't believe his ears.
How could it be a member of the Bian family? Is Bian Zhihe connected to Xiyan? What's going on? He originally guessed that the one who colluded with Sima Hao would be the second prince or the officials of the second prince's line, because he could get in touch with Emperor Xiyan and wanted the fifth prince to die the most, the biggest possibility was the second prince, he never thought that it would be the Bian family!
How can the Bian family? Bian Zhihe is Shangshu's right servant, how can Xiyan have a connection?
"It's Concubine Mu! The ten princes died early because Concubine Li and the five princes did something, and now that Concubine Li is dead, the five princes are just being confined, how can Concubine Mu be willing? She wanted the lives of the five princes to avenge the twelve princes! Shen Ning was also surprised, he didn't expect the Bian family to get in touch with Emperor Xiyan.
How did they get in touch? What did the Bian family promise to Sima Hao? Why did Sima Hao help the Bian family so much?
Bian Zhihe is the right servant of Shangshu, and he is the former fourth secretary in Dayong, and there is nothing wrong with respecting the official position, but Sima Hao is the Emperor of Xiyan, how can he help the Bian family?
Even if Shen Ning wanted to break her head, she couldn't figure out what it was for.
Knowing a mystery, but there is another deeper mystery unknown, Shen Huashan felt like falling into a fog, and he couldn't see what was going on at all! (To be continued.)
