Chapter 169: It's Better to Die than to Live (Second Update)
"Wu Gongzi is right! The Dark Abyss is very important to many countries, and no country wants to watch the Dark Abyss fall into the hands of the Hidden Dragon Empire, so as long as no contract is signed, once the Hidden Dragon Empire finds an excuse to launch an attack on our Shenwu Empire, those countries will definitely not sit idly by, so at present, the most important thing for us is to prevent the royal family from signing a contract with the Hidden Dragon Empire!" The patriarch of the Guo family heard Wu Hanqi's words, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly.
At this time, not only the patriarch of the Guo family was excited, but all the high-level members of the family present were moved and excited, and the great elder of the Song family immediately said: "Wu Gongzi! how do you need us to cooperate with your plan, just give orders, as long as we can survive this catastrophe, our Song family will support Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to become the queen of the empire, and implement the plan according to what you said Wu Gongzi." ”
"Wu Gongzi! Our Guo family is the same, as long as Wu Gongzi can help us tide over the current difficulties, our Guo family will also unconditionally implement your plan Wu Gongzi, how do you say you need our family to cooperate with you?" Seeing that the Great Elder of the Song Family stood up to express his position, the Guo family patriarch immediately followed suit and took a stand.
Wu Hanqi saw that all the families expressed their full support for him, knowing that his plan was already half successful, as long as he succeeded in stopping the conspiracy of the Qianlong Empire, he would be able to establish their Wu family's position in the Shenwu Empire, and when the time came, it would naturally become much easier for him to implement the plan that had been brewing in his heart for a long time.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since everyone is supporting, then I will inform you of my plan, tonight we plan to launch an attack on the Prince's Mansion, and when we attack, we need your help to surround the palace. Give Xuanyuan Qingyun a situation of a large army pressing the realm. ”
"After we destroy the Prince's Mansion, I will let the eldest princess enter the palace. issued an ultimatum to Xuanyuan Qingyun, and asked for Xuanyuan Qingyun's Zen position when the time came. If you want the royal family to be completely destroyed. Wu Hanqi saw that all the families were looking at him at this time, so he naturally didn't say anything polite to these families, and directly said his plan.
All the families present originally had to pay a very high price because they supported Wu Hanqi's plan, but they never expected that Wu Hanqi would just ask them to send people to surround the palace, which made them really believe that Wu Hanqi did not use their family for purpose, otherwise Wu Hanqi would not have only sent their Wu family's monks to deal with the royal family.
"Wu Gongzi, please rest assured, the matter of besieging the palace will be entrusted to our families. With our family here, I promise not even a single mosquito will ever fly out of the palace. At this time, the patriarch of the Song family admired Wu Hanqi from the bottom of his heart, and once again stood up and patted his chest to reassure Wu Hanqi.
After Wu Hanqi looked at the high-level family members present to make assurances, he nodded with satisfaction and told everyone: "In order to prevent the royal family from being vigilant, please be sure to keep it secret, but you can spread the matter of the Hidden Dragon Empire's intention to invade the Shenwu Empire through the alliance, and you can put pressure on the royal family in public opinion to avoid Xuanyuan Qingyun from throwing a mouse." ”
The banquet was over quickly. When the high-level officials of each family left the princess's mansion in turn, the royal family received the news as soon as possible, when Xuanyuan Qingyun learned that the Yuan family was actually a spy planted by the Qianlong Empire in the Shenwu Empire, and the so-called alliance was completely aimed at the territory of the Shenwu Empire. Only then did I understand that the so-called alliance of the Hidden Dragon Empire was a drunkard, not a drinker.
As the emperor of the Shenwu Empire, Xuanyuan Qingyun at this time clearly realized that unless he gave up the alliance with the Hidden Dragon Empire. Otherwise, even if their royal family and family make peace, the Hidden Dragon Empire will destroy the peace talks. It will even do it to their royal family.
Realizing this, Xuanyuan Qingyun's heart felt remorse for the first time. regretted that he was too eager for quick success, and he couldn't wait to turn his face with the family forces, and it was difficult for them to ride a tiger in the hearts of the royal family.
And when the royal family learned of the conspiracy of the Hidden Dragon Empire, when Ruan Renwei, the envoy sent by the Hidden Dragon Empire to the Shenwu Empire, learned that their empire's plan was unexpectedly discovered by a young man, he immediately realized that the empire's plan was likely to change because of this young man.
At this moment, Ruan Renwei clearly realized that in order to avoid long nights and dreams, he must immediately sign a contract with the Shenwu Empire, and only by signing the contract can their empire's plan be realized, at this moment Ruan Renwei no longer has the momentum of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai before, and sent people to the prince's mansion as soon as possible, asking the royal family of the Shenwu Empire to sign a contract with them immediately.
When Xuanyuan Jinkang learned that Wu Hanqi was banqueting all the families in the imperial capital in the eldest princess's mansion, he was always restless, and he always felt that Wu Hanqi and Xuanyuan Zixuan were feasting on the imperial family, and it was likely that they were coming for him, the prince.
Although the envoy of the Qianlong Empire has publicly supported their royal family and warned those family alliances that are against the royal family, Wu Hanqi is bold and bold with his demonic qualifications, and never puts their royal family in his eyes, the warning of the Qianlong Empire may be able to deter those families, but it definitely has no deterrent effect on Wu Hanqi, so when the envoy of the Qianlong Empire sent someone to the prince's mansion and said that he wanted to sign a contract with them, Xuanyuan Jinkang rushed to the palace as soon as possible.
Xuanyuan Jinkang rushed to the palace to make a report to Xuanyuan Qingyun about Ruan Renwei's request, which made Xuanyuan Qingyun's face even more ugly, looked at Xuanyuan Jinkang gloomily, and asked Xuanyuan Jinkang in an extremely stern voice: "Kang'er! Our empire is just a small country, why would a big country like the Qianlong Empire send people to ally with us? Do you know the purpose of the Qianlong Empire?"
When Xuanyuan Jinkang heard Xuanyuan Qingyun's words, he immediately realized that his father seemed to want to regret his alliance with the Hidden Dragon Empire, and immediately persuaded Xuanyuan Qingyun: "Father, the purpose of the alliance between the Hidden Dragon Empire and us is to make us their vassal states, so as to increase their strength. ”
"Although becoming a subsidiary parliament allows the Shenwu Empire to obey the orders of the Hidden Dragon Empire from now on, but it is better to die than to live, as long as we still control the power of the Shenwu Empire, sooner or later one day we will be able to break away from the Hidden Dragon Empire, besides, now those families are eager to destroy our royal family, if we don't form an alliance with the Hidden Dragon Empire, we may not be able to fight against those families. ”
After learning of the conspiracy of the Hidden Dragon Empire, Xuanyuan Qingyun didn't realize that he had agreed to ally with the Hidden Dragon Empire at the beginning, he looked at Xuanyuan Jinkang who was standing in front of him with a frightened face, and thought that he had ignored the opposition of the ministers and ruled out the public opinion to make Xuanyuan Jinkang the crown prince.
As a result, Xuanyuan Jinkang not only looked at the rats, but even in order to keep his throne, when the empire was in life and death, not only did he not take responsibility, but also preferred to make his country a vassal of other countries, which made him very disappointed.
This made Xuanyuan Qingyun ask himself whether it was right or wrong for him to favor Xuanyuan Jinkang so much? He replied angrily: "It's better to die than to live! Xuanyuan Jinkang! Do you know the true purpose of the alliance between the Hidden Dragon Empire and our Shenwu Empire?"
"I can sue you! The so-called alliance of the Hidden Dragon Empire is fake, they want to take advantage of the contradictions between our royal family and the family, wipe out our royal family and those families, and use the alliance as an excuse to incorporate the territory of our empire into the territory of the Hidden Dragon Empire,"
"The funny thing is that you, as the crown prince of the empire, you are unaware of the conspiracy of the Hidden Dragon Empire, and you are unaware of the news that is spreading outside, if this agreement is really signed, we are afraid that we will be sold by the Hidden Dragon Empire, and stupidly help them count the money. ”
Xuanyuan Jinkang heard Xuanyuan Qingyun's angry rebuke, and his face immediately showed a shocked expression, he couldn't have imagined that the so-called alliance of the Hidden Dragon Empire was actually an excuse for them to invade the Shenwu Empire, at this moment he could even imagine the fate of their royal family after signing the alliance book.
At the beginning, he Xuanyuan Jinkang would agree to the alliance, and give up the status of the sovereign state of the Shenwu Empire, and was willing to become a vassal state of the Qianlong Empire, all in order to keep his future throne of the Shenwu Empire, if there was no throne, what would he do if he was so enthusiastic about forming an alliance.
Xuanyuan Jinkang saw Xuanyuan Qingyun's angry expression, and immediately realized that his actions were luring wolves into the room, and said to Xuanyuan Qingyun anxiously: "Father, we have only reached a verbal agreement with the Hidden Dragon Empire, and now as long as we don't sign an agreement, the Hidden Dragon Empire has no excuse to intervene in the affairs of our empire, as for those family alliances, we might as well stop making peace with them, and wait for the opportunity to destroy those families in the future." ”
"Kang'er, we and those families have completely torn their faces, today they were invited by Wu Hanqi's dead fat man to the eldest princess's mansion for an afternoon of secret talks, do you think those families are willing to negotiate peace with us?" Xuanyuan Qingyun heard Xuanyuan Jinkang's words, and immediately moved, because he knew that this was the only way for the Shenwu Empire to tide over this difficult situation in front of him, and then instructed Xuanyuan Jinkang: "This matter will be handed over to you, I hope you don't let me down again." ”
Xuanyuan Jinkang saw that Xuanyuan Qingyun had instructed him to implement the reconciliation with the major families, and immediately patted his chest to Xuanyuan Qingyun and reassured: "Father, please rest assured, I think the people of those families don't want to go to war with us now, otherwise the people of those families will not spread the news." ”
Xuanyuan Qingyun heard Xuanyuan Jinkang's assurance, the expression on his face softened slightly, and said to Xuanyuan Jinkang bitterly: "Kang'er! After this turmoil, I will pass the throne of the empire to you, and this empire will be yours in the future, I hope that you can keep an eye on everything in terms of acting and dealing with things in the future, and do not be impatient in everything, I hope that during your reign, the royal family of our Shenwu Empire can truly control the power of the empire." ”
When Xuanyuan Jinkang heard Xuanyuan Qingyun's advice, he was stunned at first, and thought that he had heard the wrong thing, until he was sure that he had heard correctly, so he quickly knelt in front of Xuanyuan Qingyun excitedly, and respectfully assured Xuanyuan Qingyun: "Father, please rest assured, the emperor will definitely not live up to his father's painstaking efforts, and strive to eliminate those families during his reign, so as to truly control the entire empire."
