Chapter 142: South Vietnam Changes
Mr. Ripin came in when the three of them were almost finished eating, his forehead was still dripping with sweat, he wiped it with a square silk, and his round face was full of smiles: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" There are too many people ordering books today, right? β
Yan Zhuo raised his hand, "Please sit down and speak." β
He also motioned to the maid, "Add a pot of tea to Mr." β
Mr. Ripin panicked: "I can't help it, Xiaolangjun, you are so polite......
Yan Zhuo looked at him and smiled, "Sir, you don't have to be polite, we don't listen to books, I want to ask you about something." β
Mr. Nie Pin's smile froze for a moment, and then he sat down slowly, "I don't know what Lang Jun wants to inquire about?" β
Yan Zhuo knew what he was worried about, and explained: "Don't worry, if you don't get involved in the court or state affairs, I'll talk to you about the lively things in Jinling City." β
As he spoke, he motioned to Tianguo'er and handed over a piece of silver.
Mr. Ripin breathed a sigh of relief, took the silver and put away the handkerchief, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Even if you ask, I know a little about the lively things in this city." β
Yan Zhuo swept out the window, and from time to time, a group of guards with spears patrolled by, and asked casually, "Is there anything important in the city today?" β
Mr. Yen Pin rolled his thick lips, raised his eyebrows, and the storytelling posture rose, "You are asking the right person!" Something big is true! Today is the day when the Nanyue princess enters the city! It is also the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Holy Majesty gives a feast to the whole city, and will sprinkle fruit cakes on both sides of the street where the princess enters the city for a while, and every household will enjoy the moon and eat cakes at night, and it will definitely be an all-nighter. β
Yan Zhuo frowned, "What princess of South Vietnam?" β
I've never heard of a princess in South Vietnam.
Mr. Yen Pin smiled, "I'm afraid you don't know that South Vietnam has changed the sky, right?" β
Yan Zhuo was shocked and inexplicably nervous, "What's wrong with South Vietnam?" β
Hearing Pin now slipped out of his sleeve and opened the folding fan, and said: "Three months ago, the Great Zhou and South Vietnam negotiated peace talks, and the Duke of Zhanxi took the opportunity of peace talks with the Great Zhou to propose a marriage. The king of Nanyue saw that he was willing to take the initiative to marry his daughter, and he trusted him even more. Unexpectedly, the old man of Zhanxi was scheming, and Ming sent his son and only daughter to Jinling, and under the guise of this, secretly mobilized troops to overhead the king of Nanyue, with elite auxiliary forces inside and a large army outside.
"How could the king of Nanyue think that this brother would do it at such a time? was abdicated in a daze, and committed suicide that night, leaving none of the two princes. Zhanxi became the new king of Nanyue, so the county lord who was sent out that day would not become a princess? β
Yan Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, since it was Zhanxi Gong who was on the throne, that person naturally followed and took another step.
However, Zhanxi Gong's trick is really dangerous and poisonous!
sent out the two people closest to him, in the eyes of the king of Nanyue, naturally there was no support, how could a person without support launch a coup d'Γ©tat to seize the palace?
In such a situation, the king of Nanyue naturally would not be guarded against.
But Zhanxi Gong dared to move the most impossible hand at the most unlikely time.
From Zhanxi Gong's point of view, there is another benefit.
Yizi and his daughter are outside, in case of failure to capture the palace, they will not be wiped out, and when the troops are seconded, they can block the conflict of troops outside, and if there is a real accident, there is a way to remedy it.
Thinking of this, Bai Yu, no, it should be Zhao Yuchu, hinted to her when she was in Haicheng that if she really faced Gao Huaiming in the end, she would not be afraid.
Haicheng is adjacent to Fuzhou in the south and close to South Vietnam, so I am afraid that there were a lot of South Vietnamese troops there at that time.
That's why he had the strength to come to Haicheng and stay for more than a month.
No wonder, no wonder he said that he was going to rush to Jinling on August 15 to pick up people, and it was his sister-in-law, the only daughter of Zhanxi Gong, and now the princess of Nanyue!
Yan Zhuo thought about it and asked again, "Then who is this princess marrying?" β
Mr. Yen Pin leaned over and whispered, "Naturally, it's Emperor Yuan!" β
Yan Zhuo's heart tightened, if the princess of Nanyue married Emperor Zhou Yuan, wouldn't the righteous army be attacked on both sides?
In that case, she and Zhao Yuchu will really become mortal enemies......
She stroked her forehead and asked again, "Do you have to be a queen?" β
Mr. Ripin shook his head, "Naturally, I won't let a Yue person do it, it is rumored that the Queen Mother has chosen a concubine for Emperor Yuan, but if the princess enters the palace, she should at least be a concubine!" β
Yan Zhuo secretly thought, this kind of thing depends on the degree of cooperation between South Vietnam and Da Zhou, and it is not something that can be completed in a while.
If the righteous brother knew the news, he would also have some means to prevent the Zhou people from marrying the Yue people.
She put this matter aside for a moment and asked Meng Guanlai instead, "Is there anything new in Jinling City?" I heard that Meng Shaoqing received a new concubine, which was his original match, but is there such a thing? β
Mr. Yen Pin thought of the former Jade Lady, a touch of melancholy flashed in his eyes, and he nodded regretfully, "This matter has something to do with the legendary woman in Jinling City, the Jade Lady." Yu Niang was looking for her husband Meng Shaoqing, raising her younger siblings alone and going to Jinling to find a husband. I didn't know that during the war, Meng Shaoqing also sent someone to his hometown to find a wife, and he missed the ......"
Yan Zhuo snorted coldly, why did Meng Guan go to Yinzhou to find them? Not even a letter!
These past events must be the news released by Meng Guan himself!
ββ¦β¦ Who knew that many years later, the husband and wife met in Jinling City, although Meng Shaoqing had become Zuo Xiang's son-in-law, but Zuo Xiang did not forget to send his wife, affectionate and righteous, and promised him to take Yu Niang in the house, named Concubine, and everyone in the house is still called Mrs. Yu. β
Yan Zhuo was puzzled, "That Zuo Xiang's daughter actually agreed?" β
When her soul was trapped next to her body, she didn't understand why Meng Guan could take her back to her house?
It's just that after returning home, she has never seen Meng Guan's wife, the daughter of Zuo Xiang, appear.
Mr. Yen Pin smiled and nodded, "Mrs. Meng not only agreed, but also praised Meng Shaoqing for being a good man, alas, it's a pity that Yu Niang has lived in the boudoir since then, and Jinling City has one less female head of strategizing." β
Yan Zhuo frowned, could it be that the daughter of the left minister is really generous?
In this way, her physical body is still not dead, is she still unconscious in the Meng Mansion?
If the daughter of the left prime minister is really generous, who will poison her tea?
Meng Guan himself? Or someone else?
Now what method is she going to use to get close to Meng Guan?
She turned her head to look down the alley, the crowd on the long street was blocked by the guards, the salute rumbled in the distance, and the Nanyue princess had entered the city.
Behind the guard of honor was a long procession of carriages and horses.
Sure enough, as Mr. Ripin said, some people sprinkled the palace banquet fruit cakes into the crowd along the way, causing everyone to cheer and snatch, which was very lively.
Among the carriages and horses, the middle canopy carriage is the most eye-catching, and the curtain cover is decorated with peacock feathers, which is quite South Vietnamese style.
In front of the carriage, there was a long group of silver-armored guards, riding tall horses, holding red-tasseled spears, majestic.
Even though all of the guards were heroic, they were not as dazzling as the one in the middle who was dressed in regular clothes.
