Chapter 457: Caught off guard!
Hit the horse royal street, take a sedan chair into the palace! Xu Wenchuan and the others looked at each other, all of them surprised. Such a situation, even in Xu Wenchuan's lifelong memory, has never happened. What kind of urgent matter would make Princess White Butterfly even ignore these royal rituals?
"Old prince, this ......" Hu Jingqi and the others were a little at a loss for a while.
Xu Wenchuan waved his hand and said, "Since it is the order of Her Royal Highness the Princess, then don't hesitate, go!" After that, he took the lead in turning over the horse, patted the horse's buttocks, and jumped directly into the palace Zhumen.
Xu Wenchuan took the lead, those who could ride horses got on the horses, and those who couldn't ride horses sat in the sedan chairs, and a group of people went straight to the political hall.
At this time, in the council hall, Princess White Butterfly was like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth. The exquisite breakfast sent by the palace maids was put aside, and there was not even a trace of heat. Shocked to hear the bad news, where can Princess White Butterfly eat! At this time, she can really be described as six gods without a master.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, King Joyama and a few adults have arrived!"
"Quick! Please! Bai Die said that she would ask Feng Xiangwei to invite, but she herself was faster than Feng Xiangwei and took the first step to meet her.
"Old prince, my lords, you are here." As soon as he saw Xu Wenchuan and the others, Bai Die's expression was like a drowning person seeing a life-saving straw, holding Xu Wenchuan's arm tightly and refusing to let go.
If it hadn't been for a big event, Princess White Butterfly would never have messed up like this. Xu Wenchuan also talked nonsense, and even more spared false courtesy, and hurriedly asked, "Your Royal Highness Princess, what happened?" β
Bai Die'e frowned and said, "At dawn today, I arranged the eyeliner next to Qiu Wanli, risking death to repay me, Qiu Wanli, he ...... He's coming to Bi Palace today! β
"Bi Palace!? Didn't Qiu Wanlimo want to rebel? As soon as Bai Die's voice fell, Hu Jingqi immediately reprimanded angrily.
Xu Wenchuan sneered and pouted: "Qiu Wanli's wolf ambition is well known to passers-by, and it is not surprising that he wants to rebel." The princess is panicking, we are not vegetarians, if he comes to the bi palace today, see that the old minister does not scold his ancestors for eighteen generations! β
"The old prince doesn't know, this time is different from the past, Qiu Wanli, in order to usurp the throne, entangled ten generals guarding the border, and ordered them to lead troops into Beijing, I'm afraid that the troops will soon come to the city!"
"What? For such a major matter, how could I not even receive the slightest rumor? As soon as Princess Baidie's words came out, Xu Wenchuan was really taken aback.
Princess White Butterfly nodded hatefully and said, "Qiu Wanli is extremely secretive, if it weren't for my eyeliner to report death, I'm afraid this palace would still be in the dark!" I have ordered General Tang to go out of the city to investigate, and news should come back soon. β
Sure enough, Princess White Butterfly's words had just landed, and Tang Xinyi rushed into the hall.
"Xinyi, how is the situation?" White Butterfly hurriedly asked.
Tang Xinyi's face was unprecedentedly solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "What the eyeliner said is true, the ten generals and the ten people have converged in one place, about more than 500,000, and it is less than 30 miles away from Yunzhong City at this time." β
"No...... Less than thirty miles? β
When Bai Die heard this, the whole person was as if he had been hit by a hammer on the head, and his weak body couldn't help but shake a few times, and his little face turned white in an instant. Cloud City is located in the middle of the Qingyun Empire, surrounded by countless satellite-like cities of all sizes as a gateway to rely on, since the city was first built, it has never thought of building a protective wall, it can be said to be a completely undefended city! How can you resist the iron cavalry of an army of 500,000?
Not only Bai Die, but also some civil officials at this time also panicked, and their complexions changed suddenly.
Xu Wenchuan frowned and said, "Don't worry! The three armies defending Gyeonggi numbered 600,000. The ten generals led only 500,000 men, and if they really fight, the outcome is still unknown. β
Bai Die said with a pessimistic expression, "Xuanyou has always had a close relationship with Qiu Wanli, and recently Guo Yi seems to have fallen to Qiu Wanli's side. There is only one general left in the army, and he has to face the attack of the two armies inside and outside, and he is afraid of ......"
Xu Wenchuan didn't wait for Bai Die to finish speaking, and then shouted, "These are all speculations of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and there is no clear evidence!" Right now, no matter what, we have to order someone to invite the three generals Xuanyou, Guo Yi, and Wujin Soul first. It's not one thing for them to come, it's another thing for us to invite them or not. β
"That's what the old prince said! This palace will order someone to pass it on! "Bai Die is already in a mess at this time, and the only way to do it is to be good.
"Hey! For a period of time, Qiu Wanli was silent, I expected that he must be planning some earth-shattering conspiracy, but I didn't pay enough attention to it, and finally caused today's disaster, it's really damned! Xu Wenchuan patted the back of the chair, his face full of remorse.
Hu Jingqi hurriedly said, "Qiu Wanli is scheming, and he is alert and strict, I am afraid that no matter how careful you are, it will be useless." What's more, now is not the time to regret, let's try to resolve the current crisis first. β
Xu Wenchuan nodded emphatically, gritted his teeth and said, "But as long as I, Xu Wenchuan, still have a breath of air, I will never let Qiu Wanli's conspiracy succeed!" β
"By the way, old prince, where did Xu Yaoting go, didn't he come with you?" Tang Xinyi glanced around, but didn't find Xu Yaoting's figure, and her heart was a little unsteady.
Xu Wenchuan frowned and said, "Yaoting said last night that he was going to a banquet and was not at home for the night, so he was not in the mansion!" I don't know where this kid is. β
Tang Xinyi immediately regretted it, and complained with annoyance, "It's true, but I can't find anyone at the critical moment, this kid is really underwhelmed!" β
After hearing this, Hu Jingqi couldn't help but pick up the grievances for Wan Dong, and said, "General Tang, it's too much for you to say this." Yaoting is not an immortal, let alone a roundworm in Qiu Wanli's stomach, how could he know that Qiu Wanli is going to rebel today? β
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention! As soon as Hu Jingqi's words fell, Xu Wenchuan's eyes widened, and his face was flushed, and he held back a sentence, "It's not good...... This kid is still here. β
"Huh!?"
"What!?" As soon as Xu Wenchuan's words came out, he immediately caused an exclamation.
"Old prince, you ...... What do you say? Princess White Butterfly was even more inexplicably excited, as if she had been groping in the dark for a long time and suddenly saw a ray of sunshine.
Xu Wenchuan glanced at everyone, and instead of answering, he asked, "Do you know whose banquet that kid went to last night?" β
"Who? Old prince, when is this coming, don't sell it anymore! Hu Jingqi urged impatiently.
Xu Wenchuan didn't torture everyone for too long, smiled, and said, "It's Guo Yi!" β
"Guo Yi? Old prince, I really haven't heard of it, what kind of friendship does Yaoting have with Guo Yi? Hu Jingqi asked with a confused expression.
"I've never heard of it! This little bastard is getting worse and worse, he hides everything from Lao Tzu, and I don't know if there is still my grandfather in the eyes of this kid! Xu Wenchuan seemed to be very angry on his face, but in the depths of his eyes, he was full of pride and relief. What is a bargain? That's it!
The people present, all of them were human spirits, so they could naturally hear Xu Wenchuan's 'insincerity', of course, no one would stupidly echo him, and everyone was not in the mood at this time.
Hu Jingqi frowned and said, "At this time, Yaoting and Guo Yi are entangled together, this is probably not a simple coincidence." β
"So, even if this kid doesn't know that Lu Dao Qiu Wanli is going to rebel today, he must know more than us!"
"This Xu Yaoting, such an important thing, but he didn't tell us Zhilu Dao, what did he want to do?" Tang Xinyi is really crazy. It is completely conceivable that if Wan Dong was in front of her at this time, she would have to be caught by her.
Xu Wenchuan turned his head to look at the silent Wu Daozi, and opened his mouth to say, "Brother Wu, you are Yaoting's master, tell me, what is his idea?" β
Wu Daozi didn't fall for Xu Wenchuan, glanced at him, and said, "You are still his grandfather!" Why don't you say it? β
Xu Wenchuan glared at Wu Daozi fiercely and scolded, "Say a fart!" I really can't see through this kid! β
"Her Royal Highness Princess Qiyu, the National Teacher led a large number of ministers and broke in!"
A Fengxiang guard soldier flew into the hall to report, and everyone's already tense heartstrings tightened again.
"Come so fast!" Xu Wenchuan smiled coldly and said in a deep voice, "I want to see what kind of demon Qiu Wanli is going to do today!" β
With the support of Xu Wenchuan, Hu Jingqi, Wu Daozi and others, Princess Baidie's nervous mood settled down a little. turned around and sat upright on the top of the head, waiting for Qiu Wanli and others to come to see him.
Qiu Wanli's methods are not bad, and after so many years of painstaking management, or coercion or inducement, the Manchu Dynasty has become his protΓ©gΓ© and subordinates. At this time, it is vast, and the front and back are hugged, which is really not an ordinary pomp!
It is already a great achievement for the minister to reach such a point, but this hatred is not satisfied, in fact, it is in response to the sentence that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants!
"Hah! Joyama King is also here? What a coincidence, I'm just going to send someone to invite you! As soon as Qiu Wanli walked into the political hall, his eyes fell on Xu Wenchuan's body, but he turned a blind eye to Princess Baidie, who was sitting on his hand.
Qiu Wanli snorted slightly, raised his gaze, and swept towards the civil and military officials behind Qiu Wanli.
The name of a man, the shadow of a tree! The prestige of King Dingshan has been prominent for a long time, and these civil and military officials, who are not afraid, hurriedly buried their heads one by one, not daring to look at Xu Wenchuan.
Xu Wenchuan glanced around, his eyes fell on Qiu Wanli's body, his face was cold, and he suddenly opened his mouth and let out a loud shout, "Qiu Wanli, you are so bold!" Her Royal Highness the princess is here, why don't you worship? β
In the end, it is the king of Dingshan, the mighty Huayu! This time, he directly joined Qiu Wanli on the top of the cow.
Qiu Wanli was naturally not frightened by Xu Wenchuan's might, and even the smile on his face did not change in the slightest, and said indifferently, "King Dingshan, in this world, where is the reason for elders to worship younger generations?" Counting, Princess White Butterfly still has to call me uncle, and if she wants to worship her, isn't it? β
