Chapter 349: Divergence
The news that the state of Chu sent the emperor Du Tianshen and Xie Ling to envoy the Shang State had already spread to various countries.
At this moment, everyone has confirmed the determination of the Chu State, and there is no room for the Shang State to shirk, if this negotiation fails, the Shang and Chu countries will inevitably meet each other.
The state of Qin also received a letter of invitation from the state of Shang.
The differences between Emperor Qin and the eldest princess grew day by day, and the court and China were divided into two camps.
The eldest princess had no intention of seizing power, but Emperor Qin was young and talented, and most of her actions did not consider the consequences, and she didn't dare to let go, so she could only pressure him to prevent him from coming around.
In terms of means, Emperor Qin is naturally inferior to the eldest princess, and more and more people take refuge under the eldest princess.
Even some of the regent's old ministries also began to support the eldest princess, firstly, after investigation, the eldest princess was not the one who killed the prince, secondly, the little princess and the princess are both protected by the eldest princess, and the most important thing is that at present, the eldest prince is much more reliable than the little emperor, and the prince also recognized the eldest princess during his lifetime.
Under the impetus of all parties, the eldest princess Yunmei and Emperor Qin still stood on opposite sides.
However, although the two have different political views, they still maintain the superficial blind date of sister and brother and do not tear their faces.
In order to alleviate the contradictions, and also to see the current situation more clearly, and make some decisions as soon as possible, the eldest princess decided to go on another mission.
Let's see what the five countries can come up with.
The Jin State was sandwiched between the Qin State and the Shang State, and the Qin State and his party had already left the Qin State, taking advantage of the Jin State and going to the capital of the Qin State.
Seeing that the princess was sullen, Konoe Meijiang said with relief, "Your Royal Highness the princess, Your Majesty is young and disobedient, but you are his dearest sister, and he will understand your hard work." β
The eldest princess rubbed her eyebrows, "Isn't the regent also our own uncle, this princess now understands the pain of the imperial uncle, this may be the retribution of this princess." β
"Your Highness, don't think so, this is different, Your Majesty is dependent on you. β
"What's the use, people and feelings will be corrupted by power, I didn't want to be a stumbling block for him, but at this time, the Qin State can't afford to toss, even the Chu State has already calmed down the internal disputes, and we, the Qin State, can't unify our opinions. β
"We still have time, give your majesty some more time, he will understand. β
"I hope so. β
Mei Jiang knew the entanglement in the eldest princess's heart, but she didn't know how to solve it, so she could only stay by her side.
The eldest princess closed her eyes and rested for a while.
The person in charge of sending and receiving the message had just received a note from a carrier pigeon.
I opened it as usual and took a look, and immediately my frightened face changed, which was too nonsense.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, there is new news from the palace. β
The eldest princess took the note and looked at it, "The princess has been traveling for three days, Concubine De is homesick, the emperor wants to build a new seven-story building to entertain Concubine De, Lord Zhang Li is desperate to admonish, the emperor is angry, degraded, and then build a large number of buildings." β
After a silent calculation in my heart, this car has been set off for 20 days, according to what is written on the note, I am afraid that I can't wait to come after I leave.
Although Zhang and Li are old ministers, they oppose the emperor and faintly support themselves, they are just admonishing, and they are demoted, this is for their eldest princess.
I didn't want to force De Yunze too tightly, I wanted him to calm down, but I didn't expect that as soon as he left, he would become even more violent, it seems that his heart has really changed.
That Concubine De is not a good thing, she pretends to be well-behaved on weekdays, and as soon as she leaves, she dares to instigate Yun Ze.
Immediately, he said, "Stop." β
Mei Jiang hurriedly said in a loud voice, "Stop-"
"Grinding ink. β
The maid did not dare to be sloppy, and laid paper and polished ink.
The eldest princess wrote three letters, one to advise the emperor, one to ask someone to take care of the princess and King Obuchi, and one to her confidants to make corresponding arrangements.
Mei Jiang saw that the princess was so serious, and she also knew that something big had happened.
After writing the letter and sending it back as soon as possible, the eldest princess only felt very bad.
"As soon as the princess leaves, he will build a high-rise building to please Concubine De, and he also degraded the old ministers who advised, how long has he been in power, how can there be prestige at all, and there will be war at any time, so it is not cold to the hearts of the soldiers. β
Mei Jiang knew that the eldest princess was aggrieved and confided in herself, but the emperor's affairs were not something he could intervene in, he could only be an audience, and then forget about it.
"I knew it was so, I knew it was soβalas. β
"That's it. β
The eldest princess lowered the curtain and leaned back on the mat to continue her recuperation.
For some reason, the crown prince was canonized not long ago, and soon attracted a wave of people's hearts.
These people have one thing in common, that is, they are a little dissatisfied with the emperor on weekdays.
The prince still felt a little guilty in his heart, after all, he used the influence of the emperor, and even had suspicions of blacking her.
But these are completely out of her eyes, and those indifferent eyes never leave a moment more on other people's faces.
For a while, it was all right.
Many people who speculate about the emperor's ill intentions are a little ashamed, and they only feel that the emperor is generous.
The prestige of the crown prince and the emperor is increasing day by day.
After Tian Shen left, he would write a letter to his sister every day, although with his character, he could not say some sweet words, but it was the sincere words that were the most touching.
In the past, major matters were discussed by the emperor, but now that Feng Yu is not there, and the prince has it, the sister Yan naturally has to discuss with the prince often.
In the process of getting along, the prince can be regarded as getting to know her better.
If before she was like a mysterious moonlight, fascinating, curious.
Now, she literally stood there, exuding an irresistible charm.
In the dead of night, the prince would also think that if he could continue like this, he would be the two of himself, and he would never get bored.
But as long as she thinks of the indifferent eyes she looks at herself and looks at everyone else, she feels cold, forget it, it's impossible, she already has someone in her heart who wants to be with her for the rest of her life, and she has lost her qualification.
The crown princess has been with her for many years, and it is impossible for her to abandon her.
There is also a palace for the emperor in the palace, after all, sometimes the government affairs are really busy, and it is inconvenient to leave the palace and enter the palace.
Besides, the sky is sinking, they are not there, and there is no difference between the Emperor's Mansion and the Imperial Palace.
Hezhou stayed in the East Palace to protect the prince, and sometimes he could come and visit for a while.
"You're right, there are indeed a lot of people eyeing the prince, just these days, there are no less than ten waves of assassins encountered, all kinds of things, but I also learned a few tricks from Qingyue, and I can still identify some poisons or something, I was going to have an insurance when I was going to walk the rivers and lakes, but I didn't expect to use it in advance. β
Sister Yan raised her head from the various folds, "You, you are still a little measured, there are also capable people around the prince, you can't let them rely on you too much, as a master, you should make a move when you should make a move, just observe more." β
"Well, you're right, it's not fun to rely on me too much and let me be a special guard for him. β
Sister Yan smiled rarely, in the entire Beijing, only Hezhou could make her a little happy.
"Have you had dinner? β
"It's still early, what's dinner? β
He Zhou rolled his eyes, "It's been dark for an hour, I don't care about it when I'm busy, no wonder Brother Dusk told me to look at you, I see that I shouldn't follow the prince, I should follow you every day to urge you to eat." β
"Okay, okay, have you eaten, come with me. β
"Oh, if you don't say it, I forgot it, I didn't eat, you don't know, I don't have many people to talk to now, and the prince is also busy and doesn't care, I can't talk to others, I can only talk to you, and I forget about it when I say it. β
Sister Yan called the maid, "Let's pass the meal." β
"I've wronged you, when the prince's side stabilizes, you don't have to guard him in the East Palace every day, and you can go wherever you want when the time comes. β
"Oh, that's good, I haven't been there for a long time, and I still have a few questions to ask. β
"There are also masters in the palace, tomorrow I will ask someone to come and accompany you to make a move, and have a discussion. β
"That's good, it sounds like fun, but do you still have time to practice your sword?"
"Every morning, I practice for half an hour as usual, and the rest of the time to see if I am free, I should not forget. β
The palace maid sets up dinner.
The two chatted while eating, "The day after tomorrow is the crown prince's canonization ceremony, and I am absolutely sure that someone will sabotage it." β
Sister Yan said, "I have sent people to keep an eye on it day and night, there should be no mistakes, and the matter of sealing the prince is already a certainty." β
He Zhou suddenly remembered something, "In the past few days, that Princess Yining has been coming to the East Palace, and if I don't teach her powerful martial arts, I will run away, what do you say is wrong with her, she is not cute at all." β
"Maybe I want to be a little stronger. β
"Then what's the use of her learning martial arts now, where is the foundation, I think it's better for her to keep a low profile now. β
Sister Yan said, "She is very stubborn, she doesn't know what to do now, she can only catch you, you can't do anything to her, when it's okay, you just teach her a few tricks to defend herself." β
"You shouldn't have taken pity on her, she was able to force Brother Twilight to marry her back then. β
Sister Yan sighed lightly, "It's just to give her a little thought, she's not a bad person, and you don't have anything to do anyway." β
"No, what if others misunderstand, then Yu'er will think I'm distracted. β
Sister Yan knew that he was also a soft-hearted person, and she didn't persuade him anymore, and she would know what he would do tomorrow.
Eating with close friends is always pleasant, and my sister is in a good mood.
He Zhou still went back to guard the prince, after all, what he had promised should be done.
Everyone thought that King Ye, who would be unhappy, was willing to succumb to his younger brother, and the brotherly rivalry that some people hoped for did not happen.
The prince felt a little guilty in the end, and he was determined to treat the imperial brother well.
The prince thought about Nan Qi for a long time, and still made an appointment with Nan Qi to ask him what he thought.
Nan Qi's mood was complicated, after all, he had always supported King Ye, and he had never regarded the prince as a close person before.
