Chapter 355: Expectation
Although the State of Chu wants to use the State of Qi, but if the State of Qi wants to break free from the current predicament, it must rely on external forces, the State of Qi and the State of Chu do not border, and cooperating with the State of Chu will not let the State of Qi fall into the situation of being controlled by other countries again.
The more Lord Yu thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible to join forces with the Chu State, but unfortunately, most people in the Qi State were content with the status quo and did not dare to confront the Shang State, this idea was difficult to implement.
Tianshen sneaked into the courtyard of the eldest princess, and there was still a candle in the room, and when she went in, the eldest princess sat on the edge of the bed and read a book by the lamplight.
The two are also friends, and the eldest princess is not surprised,
"I figured you should come to me. ”
"Visiting late at night, it's rude. ”
The eldest princess smiled, "Needless to say, you're here to ask about the alliance." ”
"Exactly, there will be a war between Shang and Chu, and it is impossible for the Jin State not to do it, and the attitude of the Qin State is very important to us. ”
Mentioning these, the eldest princess also had a headache, she wanted to assure him that the Qin State could join forces with the Chu State to fight the enemy, but the situation of the Qin State could not be hidden from everyone.
"Qin Guo's attitude, I can't be sure, I didn't calculate that Yun Ze and I are not of the same mind, now that Qin Guo is too busy to take care of himself, I think you are still ready to face the enemies of the two countries alone. ”
Although there had been a long guess, what came out of the mouth of the eldest princess was bound to be the true situation of the Qin State, and she sighed lightly, "People's hearts are changing, they can't be controlled, and the eldest princess doesn't have to blame herself." ”
The promise between the two countries could not be fulfilled, and the eldest princess was indeed reproachful, "I will fight for it, Yun Ze is young and easy to be confused, but your time is running out, and you should not be able to wait for Qin Guo's assistance." ”
Tian Shen smiled, "But I still have to thank the eldest princess for telling the truth." ”
Only by telling the truth can people make correct judgments, if the eldest princess conceals the contradictions within the Qin State, then the Chu State will make a strategic mistake.
The eldest princess hesitated for a moment and asked, "How is Nanqi?"
"He's not bad, now that King Jun has been made the crown prince, King Ye sincerely assists the prince, Nan Qi should be relieved, Sister Yan wrote that the prince originally planned to reuse Nan Qi, but Nan Qi refused, for what, the eldest princess should understand. ”
"It's his dream. ”
"For him, you are more important than dreams. ”
"But judging from the current situation, it will no longer work in the name of marriage, and Yun Ze will not agree. ”
Tian Shen looked at him seriously, "So if you want to be together, there is only one last way left." ”
"I don't want him to die for me. ”
"The eldest princess doesn't have to think so, she is willing to buy a thousand dollars. However, his dedication, the eldest princess only needs to cherish it, don't feel indebted or anything, your feelings are your business, not anyone's bargaining chips. ”
The eldest princess looked up and looked at him, and found that his eyes were indeed frank, "Well, I know. ”
Tian sighed, "If the regent was still here, things wouldn't have developed to this point. ”
"Yes, it would be nice if Uncle Huang was here. ”
I exchanged my son with the person I love the most, and I exchanged your life, but now I regret it immensely, Uncle Huang, I was wrong.
Tian Shen didn't know the joints, he just thought that the regent was killed by the assassin, although it had nothing to do with the eldest princess, but it should not be killed by the eldest princess, so he felt it, but inadvertently poked the eldest princess's sore spot.
The eldest princess changed the topic and said, "But although those old guys are unwilling to help the Chu State, they will not put aside the immediate interests, if the war between the Jin State and the Chu State is stalemate, I propose to seize the cities of the Jin State, plus the army controlled by me, it will definitely play a certain role in restraining it, and it will be easy for both countries at that time." ”
"It seems that the eldest princess is still quite confident in my Great Chu, are you so sure that the Chu State can withstand the offensive of the two countries?"
"I have confidence in you, I think Lian Jin is a little happy, but the situation is a little biased towards him, so he gets a little carried away, I think you will win. ”
Tian Shen said, "I hope so, I will stay soon." ”
"Well, Jin Guo's trip is not sincere, and you have to be on guard. ”
"Good. ”
Xie Ling and Tian Shen came back one after another, everything was just a verbal agreement, there were still many things to do, Xie Ling wrote a letter by hand, stamped it with his own private seal, and sent it to Qi overnight tomorrow, hoping to get a definite answer as soon as possible.
Tian Shen wrote down the latest situation and ordered someone to send him back to Chu State.
Messaging takes time, and most of the time the duo has to improvise.
At this time, the Qin State was in a mess again, and Emperor Qin was now unrestrained, which was inevitably out of line.
Everyone persuaded a lot, but it was useless, so they had to stop talking, but they just remembered in their hearts that they wanted to wait for the eldest princess to come back and let the eldest princess take care of it.
The more Emperor Qin did this, the more unpopular he became, and the more everyone served the eldest princess.
Concubine De said worriedly in Emperor Qin's ear from time to time, "Your Majesty, or the building won't be built, the eldest princess should be unhappy when she comes back, don't lose people's hearts because of the concubine, when the time comes, everyone will be towards the eldest princess, isn't it the same as when the imperial uncle is still fighting, Your Majesty is good to the concubine, the concubine remembers, but the concubine doesn't want to hurt Your Majesty." ”
Emperor Qin, who was slightly drunk, had just regained power, young and vigorous, where could he bear the grievances of his beloved woman, "Concubine Ai don't worry, I am the emperor of Qin, I am orthodox, she is just a princess, those people actually look at her as a horse, these eyeless things, I will not keep them, they have no chance to fight against me." ”
"However, if Your Majesty does this, it will hurt the friendship between sister and brother. ”
"If she were a princess, I wouldn't treat her badly, but she thinks too highly of herself and thinks that others are inferior to her? ”
Concubine De was filled with righteous indignation, "In this case, the concubine must be on His Majesty's side, and what Your Majesty doesn't like, the concubine doesn't like either." ”
provoked Emperor Qin's pity.
In the cold weather in winter, Emperor Qin announced that he would strike the dynasty once, and on the second day, Emperor Qin and Concubine De were still asleep on the dragon couch.
Emperor Qin suddenly hurriedly came in to report to the personal eunuch.
"Your Majesty, it's not good, it's not good. ”
Emperor Qin was woken up in his sleep, sat up all of a sudden, and after reacting in his mind, he covered Concubine De's graceful body tightly with a quilt, and said angrily, "What's the matter, you dare to break in." ”
"Your Majesty, something is wrong, this morning we caught a sneaky little eunuch, and under interrogation, he said that he was the eldest princess's man left in the palace, and he overheard the words of His Majesty and Niangniang last night, and he had already sent a message to the eldest princess. ”
Emperor Qin can be regarded as the reason for the panic of his henchmen, last night's words, he was just unguarded after drinking, venting the dissatisfaction in his heart, he didn't want to tear his face with the imperial sister, but these words let the imperial sister know, I'm afraid even the sister and brother can't do it.
Concubine De also heard it, and pulled the quilt to prevent herself, revealing watery eyes, "What can I do, the eldest princess will definitely be angry." ”
"Don't stop the letter yet!"
"But Your Majesty, they used special channels to deliver the news, it came out last night, and now it is out of the capital, with the caution of the eldest princess, as soon as this letter leaves the capital, it will sink into the sea, and I am afraid it will not be able to be recovered. ”
Emperor Qin gradually calmed down, the slight panic on his face gradually disappeared, and after pondering for a while, he had already considered the consequences of this matter, since it was irreversible, he could only prepare for the worst.
The contradiction between himself and the imperial sister is irreconcilable, even if neither of them wants to become enemies, but sooner or later they will have to stand on the opposite side.
Everything is just a matter of time, now that she is not in the Qin State, she can be regarded as having the upper hand, as long as she prepares well, the Qin State must be in her own hands.
Concubine De was lying on the side, and Emperor Qin's expression was fully visible to her, hiding behind the quilt, the corners of her mouth rising slightly.
Emperor Qin made a decision in his heart, and said in a low voice, "Imperial sister, these are all learned from you, but I won't hurt you." ”
The eldest princess, who was far away in the Shang Kingdom, felt a palpitation inexplicably, but she didn't know why.
On this day, the state of Chu was relatively stable, Hezhou and the two masters were fighting, Yining had been watching silently from the sidelines, and then pondered the moves given to her by Hezhou in her heart, and her little face was blown red by the cold wind.
The brothers are still very good to her, and even her father, who is addicted to the arms of the harem beauty, does not forget to care about herself, but there is still something missing in this imperial city.
I can be carefree because I have the queen mother and the royal brother to protect me, and I have always been a burden to them.
Sister Yan discussed affairs in the palace until the night, but there was no result, so she had to stay in the emperor's palace in the palace.
This is the residence of the emperor in the palace, there is nothing missing, and the palace is also warm as spring.
My sister, who was tired all day, washed first under the service of Qinglan Road, but she still didn't feel sleepy.
He put on his clothes and continued to read the official documents.
Someone informed the prince of his visit.
The prince had a new idea and wanted to communicate with the emperor, and as soon as he entered, he saw that the emperor was wearing half-dried hair, writing something with a pen while waiting, and the maid was wiping her hair with a cloth towel on the side.
Under the orange light, it seemed to melt her indifference, and the whole person became close.
But only at that moment, when she just put down the pen and straightened her waist, that invisible indifference spread again.
Waving his hand to make Qinglan stop, "What is Your Highness looking for me?"
The prince woke up from his contemplation and spoke his thoughts, and his sister listened carefully, which coincided with his own thoughts.
The two simply discussed it under the lamp and felt that it was feasible.
Qinglan served hot tea, and Sister Yan came back to her senses, feeling a little embarrassed that her hair was not dry.
Simply use your hands to urge the internal force and dry the hair strands one by one.
While discussing with her, the prince watched her small movements, and inexplicably felt that she was a little cute.
But this kind of thing is something that you never dare to say, and it is too light for her.
Sister Yan naturally didn't want to know his other thoughts, but fortunately, he was not presumptuous, just curious, and he didn't pursue it.
