Chapter 29: Emperor Heng's intentions are revealed
The Yixuan Pavilion where the envoy of Dusk Changyan and Emperor Heng live is only separated by a wall from the Haoyue Pavilion, since the envoy of God Heng in the Muyang Hall made a generous statement, King Duan removed the grounding of Haoyue Pavilion, and sent more people to serve, and Dusk Changyan and I can also come and go freely.
Xuanhu borrowed my mouth to talk about the old days with Twilight Changyan, and when it came to the tragic situation of destroying the country, Twilight Changyan knelt down and begged for my forgiveness.
Twilight Changyan said that the rebels washed the palace in blood that day, and he should have fought to the death to serve the first emperor, but his martial arts were of little use, and if even he died, all the loyal ministers of Xuancang would be destroyed. Over the years, he endured humiliation and stolen his life, looking for an opportunity to meet King Hengchen, and by chance saved the life of the prince of Chen, who was out on patrol in Weifu, and King Chen agreed to help Twilight Changyan restore the request of Xuancang.
"A prince can say that Emperor Heng wrote an edict to the world?" I don't know much about this Chen Wangye, so I can only take out my doubts and ask Twilight Changyan.
"Back to Your Majesty, the young lord of Emperor Heng ascended the throne at the age of six, and now he is only sixteen years old, Prince Chen has been regent as the emperor's uncle and minister for a long time, and the order of Prince Chen is just like the order of Emperor Emperor Heng."
I nodded, holding Twilight Changyan's arm and letting him get up and sit down, "Brother Changyan was able to judge the situation and make a correct judgment back then, otherwise no one would come to save me now, I should be grateful to Brother Changyan." In addition, I haven't ascended the throne yet, so just call me by my name, and this great gift of kneeling on the ground will be waived in the future. ”
Twilight Changyan said: "Your Majesty's accession to the throne is imminent, and Changyan, as a national teacher, must not break the etiquette first." ”
"Okay, you take care of your etiquette, I will still call you Brother Changyan in private in the future."
Twilight Changyan's serious face showed some smiles, and it was as kind and comfortable as the warm spring sun.
According to Xuanhu, Twilight Changyan is fifteen years older than Xuanhu, then he is thirty-two years old Chinese New Year's Eve, and I should call him brother. And the eyes of Twilight Changyan looking at me, there is indeed a sincere from relatives, but there is also a lot of sadness in it, I sit here, he often stares at me for a long time and does not want to take his eyes off, presumably he did treat Xuanhu like a sister, with a strong brother-sister friendship.
I always felt that the topics of Muyang Hall yesterday and Haoyue Pavilion today were too heavy, and I wanted to find a topic to change the atmosphere, so I asked: "Brother Changyan, are you married?" ”
Twilight Changyan shook his head and said: "The hatred of the country and the family has not been avenged, how dare Changyan talk about the private affairs of his children." ”
It seems that I still can't get around these topics, so I gave up, simply stopped talking about anything else, and asked: "Brother Changyan, since the destruction of the country was not done by the night back then, what happened to Emperor Diheng's article?" ”
"Emperor Heng Yeyou is opposed to each other, even if Prince Chen promises to help me Xuancang restore the country, he will never help Yeyou correct his name."
"What about us? Are we friends with Yeyou, have no grudges, and don't let the truth be revealed? ”
"In the past ten Chinese New Year's Eve, I Xuancang and Yeyou have accumulated a lot of grudges, and now that Xuancang is falling apart, we should not offend Di Heng."
I nodded again, Twilight Changyan's words were logical and reasonable, and now that I talked about it, my intuition was more willing to trust Twilight Changyan.
"Your Majesty, there are many eyes and ears in the Night Secluded Palace, and many words will be spoken to Your Majesty in detail after leaving the Night Secluded Palace. Now that the envoy of Emperor Heng Muyang Hall is on the opposite end, the second king of Xian has been humiliated, and Changyan is afraid that those two will not let us go. ”
I smiled, pushed the candied pastry made of fruit fruit to Twilight Changyan, and added tea for him, "Brother Changyan is too worried, those two people have not treated me as a princess for ten years, and they owe me a lot, after you and the envoy left Muyang Hall that day, I have tested them, and they will not embarrass us." ”
"It doesn't hurt." Twilight Changyan respectfully picked up the teacup with both hands and took a sip of tea and continued: "Lord Chen has deployed troops in the border of Emperor Heng and Yeyou, if Yeyou really wants to embarrass us, it can be regarded as the heart of Prince Chen." ”
I was shocked in my heart, "What, is Lord Chen thinking about starting a war with Yeyou?" ”
"Now that the young lord of Emperor Heng has also grown up, King Chen sees that Yeyou's national strength has grown stronger in the past ten years, so he naturally wants to suppress it. What's more, if the night is difficult for us this time, the prince of Chen can just be famous, calling on the old department of Xuancang to work together, there is the army of Emperor Heng outside the night, and the old department of Xuancang rises up to resist, and the enemy is on the back of the abdomen, and there is nothing cheap at all. ”
I'll just say how Di Heng is so kind, even if it is to repay the life-saving grace of Twilight Changyan, he also repays the chivalrous spirit of Taijianghu, it turns out that there is still a lot of article here, even if there is any kindness between countries to repay, it is always impossible to put aside the word interests.
"But Brother Changyan, if we go to war now, it won't be good for us Xuancang, we are just being used as a knife by Di Heng." I was a little anxious.
Twilight Changyan said: "What Your Majesty said is very true, this time I have a plan with the help of Lord Chen, and so is Lord Chen." However, although Prince Chen intends to start a war, as long as Ye Yu and King Xian do not come to make it difficult, and the envoy of Emperor Heng can go back smoothly to regain his sight, and Prince Chen is unknown, he will not move troops at this moment, so he can only find another opportunity. ”
I felt a little relieved at this time, and when I looked back, although King Duan and King Xian in the Muyang Palace didn't mean not to let me leave Yeyou yesterday, King Duan repeatedly asked me if I understood Di Heng's intentions.
Now that I understand Di Heng's intentions, I don't know if Duan Wang understands it?
If one of the tendons of King Duan is pulled and he neglects the envoy of Emperor Heng, or does not let us go, won't the war be on the verge of breaking out?
Should I tell Duanwang Diheng's plan and let Duanwang have a defense?
Twilight Changyan told me that tomorrow the envoy of Emperor Heng will go to King Duan to ask for a token for the passage of the night, and if it goes well, we can leave the day after tomorrow.
After sending Twilight Smoke away, I paced around the room and couldn't make up my mind. Although in my eyes, King Duan is a cold person, but if I didn't explain the situation and triggered a war between the two countries, it would affect countless living beings, including many Xuancang people, who were already living very hard under the oppression of Yeyou, and they had to be provoked by Emperor Heng to fight against Yeyou, I really couldn't bear it.
King Duan arranged a banquet in the Muyang Palace, to formally entertain the envoy of Emperor Heng and Du Changyan, and I also received a post in the afternoon, King Duan invited me to be a guest.
In front of the envoy of Emperor Heng, of course I can't say anything to King Duan that Emperor Heng wants to beat you or anything like that, but after tonight, I'm afraid it's too late. I put the post away and saw that there was still some time before dinner, so I sent Guoguo to invite King Duan, but Guoguo came back and said that King Duan went to the palace of the queen's mother.
It wasn't until dinner time that Twilight Changyan invited me to go to the banquet with him, and I couldn't wait for the opportunity to meet King Duan alone.
When I arrived at the Muyang Palace, I saw the same chair next to a wide chair in the high place before, and I was thinking about whether the queen was going to come to the banquet, so King Duan bowed his hand to me, and said to me in front of everyone: "Your Excellency, please take a seat." ”
Your Excellency?
Although I was a little dazed, I walked up and was asked to sit in the chair on the left and he sat in the chair on the right.
I covered my mouth with my sleeve and said to him at a volume that only King Duan could hear: "Don't get drunk, I'll have something to say to you when the show is over." ”
King Duan must have heard it, he squinted at me, and then turned his eyes to look at the envoy of Emperor Heng and Twilight Changyan.
