Chapter 342: Leave
"Gong Luo, even if this king loses power, the Gong family is still a famous family in Beijing, you don't have to take such risks, be obedient, stay in Beijing. ”
"No, I'm going to be with you, others will take care of you, everyone won't rest assured, I will be wholeheartedly to you, you are all I miss from my youth to the present, whether it is stability or turmoil, where you go, I will go, since you have agreed to give marriage, I will not give up again. ”
King Ling didn't expect this little girl who had been quietly watching him to be so brave.
"Compared to leaving Fugui Township, I have always thought that I can't ask for the most painful thing and I can marry you right away, but you have to give up, these are more painful than never letting me see hope, Your Highness, you can take me with you. ”
Yi Ning said, "Sister Luo has said so, you can do what she wants." ”
King Ling thought about it for a while, although he told her that it was for her good to withdraw from the marriage, but this young girl, who had never suffered hardships, did not know how to retreat in the face of difficulties, "In this case, you go to the fiefdom with me, if you can't stand it, I will send someone to send you back." ”
Gong Luo wanted to say that she would not leave Her Highness, but seeing that he finally let go, he didn't dare to say anything, so she was still very happy, "Okay." ”
Yi Ning thought to himself, even if there is a person who gets his wish, his brother has a bad temper, but he has been surprisingly patient with his palace sister since he was a child, he shouldn't bully palace sisters, and he can justifiably stay by his brother's side and take care of him, isn't it Sister Gong's wish.
It was not early, and Gong Luo's mother and daughter could not stay in the palace for a long time, and Gong Luo reluctantly left.
Yi Ning sent her away, came back and sat on the edge of the bed, and said in an adult tone, "Brother Huang, you have to treat Sister Luo well in the future." ”
King Ling smiled.
In the past, both men and women, in the eyes of King Ling, were just playthings, and after such a long time, I didn't know how to face a simple sincerity.
Gong Luo is also the older sister he has seen since he was a child, and he still doesn't want to really hurt her.
It's rare for the brother and sister to stay together, and they have endless words.
After the queen sent off the palace lady, she went to the emperor's palace to say goodbye.
"The queen doesn't take care of King Ling, what are you doing here. ”
"The concubine knows that His Majesty is tired of the concubine now, so the concubine is here to solve His Majesty's troubles. ”
The emperor looked at the queen with some surprise, but saw her looking at Concubine Qiong.
Concubine Qiong walked away acquaintancely, "Niangniang, Your Majesty is going to boil the medicinal diet, and the concubine will go and take a look, but she is out of company." ”
There are only two emperors and queens left in the palace and a father-in-law Xu who tries to reduce his sense of existence.
"Tell me, what's the matter with you. ”
Sure enough, she was bored, "The concubine implores Your Majesty to allow the concubine to go to the fiefdom with the King of Ling." ”
"Nonsense, you are the queen, not an ordinary concubine, even if the prince leaves Beijing to go to the fiefdom, how can he leave Beijing after a country. ”
The queen said unhurriedly, "In the future, the existence of concubines will be a trouble with Your Majesty and the courtiers, and the concubines will leave Beijing, and everyone will not object, the voice needs an excuse, after the concubines leave Beijing, the queen is seriously ill and it is inconvenient to see guests, and the ministers will also acquiesce." ”
"That's why, King Ling is not a child, why should you be like this. ”
"His temperament and concubines understand that although he was frustrated for a while, his temper has not changed for a while, he offended Lian Jin, and it is bound to attract revenge, His Majesty also knows that Lian Jin's means are clever, he still needs to grow, and the concubine hopes to accompany him. ”
"The queen has good intentions, and I can't do it with you. ”
The queen laughed at herself, knowing that he was already tempted, "Mother is always softer than father. ”
"You also know that this matter is not polite, and besides, you really want to give up the supreme position?"
The queen didn't want to be false anymore and directly stated her conditions.
"Your Majesty also knows that Xie Ling and King Ling are only removing the fine work in the capital, with the means of Lian Jin, there must be some arrangements in the palace, since the matter of the Zheng family and the ten princes, the concubines have been ordering people to secretly investigate in the palace, and now they have a clue, out of the manpower of the Shang State, the distribution of all forces in the palace, the concubines have some understanding, and the concubines can solve the details of the Shang State before leaving, and submit the list of personnel of all forces. ”
These were the results she had collected in the palace over the years, and they would not be used in the future, and it would be worth the money to exchange them for willfulness.
As the queen of Great Chu, it is also her duty to find out the details in the palace, and it is not a shame to be ashamed of the royal family of Chu when she completes this matter.
The emperor saw that she had already made up her mind, and in the end, it was the queen's words that made him moved, "Since you have made up your mind, I will not persuade your mother and son, and when the injury of King Ling is healed, you can go to the fief together." ”
The queen now really understands that the emperor never thought of passing the throne to King Ling, and he did not have a trace of hope for King Ling's injury, but readily agreed to King Ling's request to go to the fief.
The departure of himself and King Ling made him breathe a sigh of relief, this is fate, no matter how much he struggles, it seems to be in vain.
"After the concubine and King Ling left, Yi Ning was the only one left, she was simple, and His Majesty took care of her. ”
"She is my beloved daughter, I will naturally treat her well, don't worry. ”
"Since Your Majesty has agreed, the concubine has retired. ”
"Well, go ahead. ”
Looking at her back as she left without a trace of nostalgia, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
After the queen returned to the palace, she urgently mobilized manpower to continue to investigate the spies in the palace, this matter must be completed as soon as possible, and King Ling should not be willing to stay in the capital for too long.
The mess left by King Ling, the emperor thought about it, and handed it over to Dali Temple.
He doesn't like the emperor and them, but the emperor and others are involved in this matter, and it is faster to investigate, the Xie family has a good relationship with Dali Temple, they will definitely help the people of Dali Temple, and this matter can also have an ending as soon as possible.
On December 2, the letter of the Shang State arrived, but this time it still did not mention how to resolve the affairs of the two countries, but invited the Chu State to send envoys to the Shang State to discuss in detail, and had already invited the other three countries to meet with the Shang State, first, to witness the affairs of the two countries, and second, to mediate the friction between the several countries in recent months.
The whole country of Chu can't wait to scold the Shang country loudly for being shameless, and the obvious thing is that they don't want to compensate.
All countries have mobilized troops, but it is better for him to run as a peacemaker without moving.
Whether to go or not is a question that needs to be seriously considered.
The next day, the court deliberated.
"The minister thinks that this is the Shang State's strategy to delay the army, and the Shang State has what qualifications to mediate the contradictions of various countries, if Da Chu sends envoys to go, wouldn't it be a weaker one. ”
"Yes, the minister also thought that he couldn't go, the prince of Shang has always been cunning, and he doesn't know what the conspiracy is this time. ”
Xie Yun, who had never said much, said, "Do you know how much grain and minerals the Shang State has embezzled from my Chu State, and every time he swallows a share, he will threaten my Great Chu more, these things must be returned to him, otherwise, you are the main battle, what are we going to fight?"
"But Shang Guo has made it clear that he is cheating, and what else can he do except come hard. ”
"This matter is still up to the emperor's decision. ”
Tian Shen saw that they were finished arguing, and said unhurriedly, "Since Shang Guo sent a letter of state to invite, and asked Chu Guo to go to someone to negotiate compensation in person, then what should I not dare to do in Chu State, this seat has discussed with Huang Yu and decided to send an envoy." ”
Recently, everyone said that they are more and more in awe of them, and as long as there is nothing wrong with their decisions, no one will refute them.
"What about the envoys?"
"Lord Xiao Xie has always been in charge of this matter, and he is the old lady himself, he is young and promising, and he will definitely be able to deal with the group of clever guys in Shangguo. ”
"That's right, Lord Xiao Xie is suitable. ”
Lao Chen also thought it was appropriate. ”
Sister Yan and Tian Shen had already guessed that this was the case, and Sister Yan deliberately asked, "What do you think, Lord Xie, you may want compensation for the Chu State." ”
It's serious, but everyone still thinks it's a little funny.
Xie Ling walked out seriously, "The minister is willing to give it a try." ”
"Lord Xiao Xie has courage. ”
"Young and promising. ”
Xie Ling rolled his eyes in his heart, an old fox.
Tian Shen said, "It's indeed appropriate for Lord Xie to be in charge of this matter, but I still want to send someone to go." ”
"Who?"
"Does the emperor think that Lord Xiao Xie is not worthy of this responsibility?"
Zhang Yang asked on behalf of everyone, "I don't know who the emperor is talking about?"
"That person is this seat, Chu Jing and Shang are far apart, it takes time for the news to be passed back and forth, and when the time comes, Shang Guo will definitely play tricks on the grounds that Lord Xie can't be the master, whether it is compensation or mediation for a while, this seat has enough decision-making power, this seat and Lord Xie together, they have no reason to shirk. ”
Sister Yan added, "This time the discussion is a military matter, and the Qin State should also send enough people, hoping to take the opportunity to finalize the alliance." ”
In addition to these on the surface, the two of them acted more conveniently, and by the way, they went to the Shang country to see the real situation inside the Shang country, and they could make some adjustments based on this.
After discussing some details, everyone felt more and more that this method was feasible, and the emperor came forward, and most of the things could be decided, so they were not afraid of the Shang State shirking it, and they could also take the opportunity to see the attitude of the countries.
"The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household prepared the needs of the envoy together, and five days later, this seat and Lord Xie went to the Shang Kingdom together. ”
"Yes. ”
That night, the Bai family held a family banquet at home, and the three of them from Yan Tianshen Hezhou, plus Xie Ling, went to Xie Yun's mansion together, which was regarded as a reunion.
Sister Yan said, "This time, in order to avoid suspicion, I won't go to Shangguo with Brother Qi, I can rest assured that the two of you will discuss everything, but you still have to be careful, we don't even know the purpose of Jin." ”
He Zhou said, "Don't worry, what are the two big men afraid of." ”
Xie Ling also smiled, "Don't worry, I will be optimistic about him, even if it is the first beautiful princess of that Shang country, don't try to suck him away." ”
Sister Yan made no secret of her contempt for him and rolled her eyes.
Bai said, "It's the end of the year, and you still have to go out, it's really hard." ”
Sister Yan said, "Yes, it seems that the seventh brother can't go back to Suyue for the New Year, and the second brother and I are busy with affairs and can't go back, so this time I will ask the second sister-in-law to take the children back and see grandpa and them." ”
Xie Yun also said, "There is Mrs. Lao." ”
What else can Bai Shi say, he can only respond.
"Seventh brother, when you get to the border, take a look at the eldest brother, he can't go back to Suyue, the sister-in-law goes back alone, you go to see him. ”
"Using the public for personal gain, I don't know if the emperor is willing to turn a blind eye. ”
Tian Shen Zhengse said, "The border is bitter and cold, since you have to pass by, you naturally want to express your condolences and encourage the morale of the army." ”
