Chapter 461: Consummation of Marriage
This time, except for a few princes who could enter the palace, only Fang Qian and Mu Qingyan were ordered to accompany them, and the rest waited outside the palace to wait for the summons.
However, under normal circumstances, His Majesty does not need anything to talk about the relationship between father and daughter, that is, after waiting for a quarter of an hour or so, the palace will send a decree to let them disperse.
But today, I don't know what evil wind is blowing, not only did I wait for an hour and did not wait for the news to disperse, but I also heard the news that His Majesty had summoned important ministers to the palace several times.
The wind is not in the right direction.
Zheng Anhou looked left and right with a little uneasiness.
It wasn't until he found out that the last Rite Scholar had also been summoned by the emperor that he felt a chill.
His Majesty summoned six or seven important ministers, and he should have been called a long time ago, but until now, his name has not been mentioned.
What the hell is going on?
Zheng Anhou was worried in his heart, it must be that slut Chu Changning said something to His Majesty!
In a moment, a eunuch came out of the palace.
"Pass on Your Majesty's dictation, and order the Ministry of Rites to quickly prepare the rituals required for the royal ceremony for His Royal Highness King Rui, and I here." The eunuch pronounced the decree to the ministers.
"King Rui?"
Zheng Anhou's face was happy, it seemed that he was happy but not worried!
But the eunuch saw that his face was not the usual congratulations.
Zheng Anhou smiled suddenly, and he didn't even notice that there was a trace of tremor in his voice: "Father-in-law, King Rui, isn't it the third prince?" ”
The muscles on the eunuch's face twitched slightly, and he replied stiffly, "No." ”
Qianxiang Palace.
The emperor saw Changning again, his face glowing with ruddy.
No matter who used what method, his Changning came back, and that was enough.
When Changning saw the emperor, a thousand feelings came to his heart.
She is not unkind, she has seen how well her father treats her, but how much truth and how much falsehood there is, and how to distinguish it.
Her grandfather raised her for fifteen years, and now she is right and wrong, and how to distinguish between right and wrong.
How to identify the treacherous world behind it.
"Sinner Mu Qingyan, knock to see Your Majesty."
"Sinner Fang Qian, knock on Your Majesty."
Mu Qingyan and Fang Qian pleaded guilty at the same time, interrupting Changning's thoughts.
In the final analysis, the matter with the family could not be done, whether it was Mu Qingyan or Fang Qian, they were both guilty of serious crimes.
Although the emperor didn't want to be peaceful in his heart, he still had to do it for the sake of face.
He reprimanded Mu Qingyan for ignoring the overall situation and acting impulsively.
Mu Qingyan accepted them one by one.
Not to mention that this is His Majesty who swore allegiance, just say that this is Changning's father, doesn't he have to bear everything.
After the emperor scolded him randomly, he didn't care that his children were present, he slowly took a sip of tea and waved his hand: "Say, do you have any plans for Liaodong?" ”
"Nope." Mu Qingyan replied simply.
The emperor's eyelids lifted: "You little bastard, you really dare to rob your relatives without an idea?!" ”
The Emperor trembled with rage.
Mu Qingyan and his father were not so unreliable in doing things.
"But now I have." Mu Qingyan added unhurriedly.
The emperor snorted coldly, and the three princes on the side also squinted.
"Originally, the minister only wanted to raid the Chaganda tribe besieging Liaodong, and after relieving the siege of Liaodong, he immediately went to see King Youxian as the leader of the Chaganda tribe, borrowed troops to stop Naruo from the Turkic steppe, and took him back to Changning."
"Changning?" The Emperor raised his eyebrows and repeated angrily.
Is anyone qualified to call these two words Changning casually? Mu Qingyan's body as a minister, even if he is not called His Royal Highness, he should add the princess as an honorific title after Changning.
Can ...... now
The emperor grinded his teeth, but he could see that Changning's face was not annoyed but smiling, and his face changed again and again.
He's a Mu Qingyan!
It's just that they robbed a relative, and they have all reached this point.
If you don't pay attention to it, you will have to be harmonious, and you will raise your eyebrows.
"Yes, but Kiyohiko was fortunate enough to meet King Youxian in the Chaganda tribe and was successfully beheaded. Now that the Right Virtuous King is dead, the Turkic steppes must be in chaos, and it will be a year before they are integrated. ”
"A year?" It was Changning who raised his voice and said.
Mu Qingyan nodded, his expression was obviously not joking: "One year." ”
Changning frowned, and the difference between the two years she expected was fully doubled.
Mu Qingyan actually looked up to Na Ruo so much.
They all know that Naruo's thoughtfulness has a lot of influence in the Turks, and the eldest prince Andezhuo is not a scheming person, just a slightly scheming Turkic man, and now he has lost the support of the Right Xian King, and he lacks stamina.
Therefore, it was only a matter of time before he returned to the Turkic court and regained the throne.
Changning just felt that King Youxian and the eldest prince were also well prepared, although they were about to change, but within two or three years, it would be difficult to unify all the tribes.
Unexpectedly, Mu Qingyan opened his mouth and gave a year's number.
"You mean, in a year, Naruo will lead the Turks to attack Dachu?" The emperor's face turned slightly pale.
This matter is already above all else.
"Yes, if the Turkic tribes are integrated, they will desperately need a victory to consolidate his authority, and maybe they will attack under the banner of avenging the Right Sage King." Mu Qingyan reported truthfully.
The emperor slapped the table, and the tea bowl trembled.
"Your Majesty is angry." Fu'an took the lead in respecting.
"Mu Qingyan, you caused the disaster, you said it yourself, what should I do?!" The Emperor asked.
The third prince didn't wait for Mu Qingyan to speak, and stepped forward first: "Father Emperor Mingjian, the most important thing now is to sign a peace treaty as soon as possible, with the treaty-"
"You're really not afraid of death." Changning interrupted Chu Chengxian in a cold voice.
The third prince turned his head and frowned: "Changning, what do you mean?" ”
The Emperor looked at her as well.
Changning: "To this day, you still insist on negotiating peace, are you not afraid that the Turks will regret it in the coming day, let Da Chu lose his wife and his soldiers, and let you lose face?" ”
The muscles on the third prince's face twitched: "Changning doesn't know, the Turks are a very trustworthy people. ”
"Of course I don't know, I only know that none of the peace treaties between the previous dynasties and the Turks can last for more than ten years, let alone any age, and no people of the Chu Dynasty have died at the hands of the Turks."
"Father!" The third prince was like a teenager who lost a quarrel and asked his father for comment, but when he saw the emperor looking at Changning with a relieved face, he raised his right hand to him and silenced him.
The three princes secretly clenched their fists.
Changning had already returned the topic to Mu Qingyan.
"As Changning said, the ambition of the Turkic wolf son, the original intention of entering Chang'an this time is not to negotiate peace at all, but to have another purpose." When Mu Qingyan's words fell, the three princes narrowed their eyes.
"You mean, there are people in Chang'an who collude with the Turks?"
Mu Qingyan nodded: "The minister has found some evidence that proves that the Turks have a close relationship with several senior officials in the DPRK and China, and have also had several secret meetings with a non-governmental organization. ”
"What?!" The Emperor was furious.
What worries him is not only that there are traitors in the court, there are such traitors in all dynasties, but what he is worried about is the civil organization in Mu Qingyan's mouth.
Changning took the emperor's face at a glance and pinched his fingers quietly.
"Tell me, what the hell do you want to do?" The emperor asked.
The third prince also sneered and provoked: "Exactly, this prince also wants to see how Mu Lang has a clever plan to calm the world." ”
The corners of Mu Qingyan's lips raised slightly: "Simple." ”
Changning raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
"Please ask Your Majesty to marry Princess Changning for the minister."
