Chapter Seventy-One: Sending Troops
Wang Zhong and Emperor Yun stood together, he had been thinking about this problem, he could have married the true princess to the king of the Qi Kingdom. This elderly emperor wants to give a princess, and marrying to Qi under a false identity is disrespectful to him, and he will also put the snow in danger.
Knowing that he couldn't do it, he couldn't guess more and more what his master was thinking, what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.
Emperor Yun still smiled and said nothing, Wang Zhong, as his close minister, was anxious about the future throne, but this Emperor Yun never worried about this problem. Although Wang Zhong was a close confidant, he didn't dare to say what he thought, he was afraid that his master would misunderstand.
"Your Majesty, after thirty years with your monarchs and ministers, I don't understand my master's mind more and more. Wang Zhong is still old and a little confused. Wang Zhong let out a series of sighs, but Emperor Yun turned his face and looked at him with a smile: "You and I are old, my Emperor Yun can't give birth to a son in his life, but the daughter he gave birth to is also very angry." ”
"Your Majesty, the old minister has a question, we are all old and there will always be a day when we leave. You don't plan to ......" At this point, Emperor Yun naturally understood, he was still smiling, his face was relaxed.
"It's a big problem, we're getting old, and there's always some young people who want to take their place. These words are also meaningful, which reminds Wang Zhong that there is an undercurrent of peace on the surface of Yunshang.
There are many young leaders in Yunshang, led by Lin Yu, and then followed by Su Tong after the Golden King of Yunshang. This King Jin and Emperor Yun are brothers of the same clan, and Su Tong is the nephew of Emperor Yun, if Emperor Yun dies, he should be the first choice to inherit the throne.
But King Jin's family has a cruel temperament, Emperor Yun has always been dissatisfied with King Jin, and Su Tong is even more arrogant and lascivious. Emperor Yun naturally would not pass on the throne to such a person, and the young general Lin Yu was a foreign surname, and he was too alert to be the best candidate for the throne.
And it is rumored in the palace that Princess Changlan and Lin Yu have an ambiguous relationship, and Emperor Yun turns a blind eye and does not pursue it too much.
Wang Zhong said: "Isn't that cloud merchant in danger?"
"Wang Zhong, Yun Shang is not in danger, but he is afraid of falling into the hands of foreigners. Even if it is the will of God, there is no way to do it, you and I can live for a few years, and there is hope for everything, isn't it?" Emperor Yun's eyes finally showed a trace of confusion, how many years can he live, I really don't know how many years I can live?
"How can this be, I, Wang Zhong, will not agree that Yunshang will fall into the hands of foreigners, but ......" Wang Zhong was quite helpless.
Emperor Yun said: "Wang Zhong, you still have 100,000 soldiers and horses in your hands now, you have to hold my 100,000 soldiers and horses." If this cloud merchant changes color one day, you must not let these 100,000 soldiers and horses come out to fight, and if I die first, I will show you the way. ”
"Don't fight, and watch the palace fall into the hands of others and ignore it?" Wang Zhong looked a little indignant, but the masters of the house had spoken, how could he, Wang Zhong, dare not obey?
"When has my Cloud Emperor made a wrong decision, you have to believe me, no matter how the wind and clouds change color, the rainbow will appear. Perhaps, you will see a different cloud business, and you must live before me to see the day come. Emperor Yun was still confident, smiling, but what he said seemed to have another layer of pessimism in it.
"Your Majesty, the old minister you said is uncomfortable, what do you want the old minister to do?"
Emperor Yun's words were full of mystery, Wang Zhong really couldn't see through and guess, but he believed that everything this emperor did was right. Yundi's vision and layout are incomparable to others, and being able to make Qiang Qi dare not step into the cloud business for decades is the best proof.
"Wang Zhong, there may be a small war or turmoil between Yunshang and Qi State, but remember not to send out strong troops. If the Qi country wants the city, let them occupy it, no matter what the ministers say, you old ministers must stand in my position. Emperor Yun said this very seriously, Wang Zhong nodded, and Emperor Yun's face showed a smile again.
"Come, pen and ink wait, repair a book to the king of Qi. ”
Emperor Yun held the pen and wrote a letter and handed it to the King of Qi, perhaps this was the only time that a new king and an old king had a tacit understanding in their hearts.
Since that letter, Luo Xue and several people have been locked up in the palace prison for more than ten days, and the time has entered the fifth year of King Qi Jun.
In the prison, the snow did not suffer a trace of grievances, three meals a day were delivered according to the regulations, and the place where they lived could be regarded as a luxurious prison house. In the days of the prison house, I can occasionally listen to the jailer talk about the affairs in the palace, according to the jailer, Emperor Yun sent envoys to Qi but did not let the envoys see the snow.
The more important thing is that Emperor Yun apologized to the Qi State for making peace, and repeatedly explained that someone must have provoked such a thing, and begged the Qi State not to start a war against the Yun Shang. However, the King of Qi still sent 5,000 cavalry to garrison Xincheng County in order to be ready for battle against Yun Shang at any time.
Hearing the news, Luo Xue was a little disappointed, and this King of Qi was at the mercy of others, and he wanted to start a war and destroy the peace agreement with only a letter that Luo Xue had never seen before.
Falling Snow looked out of the prison cell, where the lights were dim and the air was filled with the smell of decay. All but three of the prisoners in the cell did not seem to be detaining, and the guards paced up and down the aisles, having been detained for a long time and not visiting the cell.
"Dare to ask the jailer, brother, did Qi Guo and Yunshang go to war in Xincheng County?"
The jailer glanced at Falling Snow, and to be honest he must have hated Falling Snow too, with a look of disdain and disdain on his face. Although the prince had told to treat her well, the prince did not say that he could not despise her, and looked at the jailer's expression and just smiled and did not speak.
It seems that the people of this Qi country have hated themselves to death, and they thought that the jailer would not answer, so he said impatiently: "You haven't started a war yet, you are a woman, can't you be good?" The meaning of this jailer is that Luoxue is not honest, everything is caused by her, and she is the one who provokes the trouble.
Luoxue doesn't care about this person, as long as the two countries don't go to war, she doesn't want to see such a situation. If the two countries go to war, it will surely arouse the anger of the two people, and then there is a sound of footsteps in the prison.
Listening to the sound of footsteps falling in the snow, you can know who it is, it is the King of Qi who is coming, and after all these days, he finally came.
His long and tall figure appeared in front of Luoxue's eyes, followed by the six princes and some cabinet ministers, and his face was ugly. Luoxue didn't salute Qi Yuan, the two of them looked at each other, and their eyes looked cold.
"Have you figured it out these days?"
Luo Xue glanced at Qi Yuan and several ministers: "I really don't understand, I'm guilty, but I have to understand what crime I committed?"
A cabinet minister behind Qi Yuan said: "Presumptuous, are you talking to the king like this, you have passed on the affairs of my Qi country's court to Yunshang." Your Yun Shang's spies are powerful and good in the court of our Qi country, and they should be punished for their crimes. ”
This cabinet assistant minister is called "Sun Ningyuan" His face was full of righteous indignation, and Luo Xue was not annoyed, she said lightly: "Pavilion Elder, what happened to your Qi court, do you want to tell me?" Sun Ningyuan's face was distorted, but he didn't know how to answer, but Qi Yuan waved his hand to stop Sun Ningyuan.
"Your guilty ministers all know that your father sent an envoy to beg for mercy, what do you say I should do? Will this soldier send or not, whether to cede the land to ransom you, or to give you a slap in the city?" Qi Yuan looked at Luoxue, and Luoxue's heart couldn't suppress her anger, she said: "If you want to kill you and kill me, why do you have to involve two ** soldiers, why do you want to use my business to seize the land of Yunshang?"
Luoxue's words were vibrating and loud, and she only felt that these people were extremely shameless at this time. There are hints in my letters, but it is only a metaphor, and it is dispensable. However, Luo Xue knew that the content of the letter had been tampered with, and Qi Yuan was just using it to start a war, which had extinguished the anger of the ministers.
"What you say is that I, Qi Guo, am a thief, and I will take the opportunity to steal your land!" After speaking, Qi Yuan took out the letter and threw it into the prison.
The letter fell to the ground, and when he turned to leave, he said coldly: "Send troops!"
