Chapter 259: How to Face It (1)
The second prince was shocked when he learned that the eldest prince and Shu Yan had been rescued. Later, he learned that it was Tug who led the people to do it, and although he was very angry, he was not willing to be angry with Luowa. was just so angry that he immediately organized his own men and horses to confront his brother outside the palace gate.
When the eldest prince saw his younger brother come out, he remembered what he had done, and he was really unkind, but after all, he remembered the feelings of brotherhood, and persuaded with good words: "Don't mourn for your father, you want to usurp the royal power, and imprison your brother and the envoys of the Celestial Empire, second brother, do you know that you have committed a mortal sin?" But in brotherhood, I can forgive you if you are willing to lay down your arms now. ”
The second prince didn't appreciate it: "You and I are both princes, whoever inherits the throne should be, is it only for you to inherit, but not for me?" ”
Without waiting for the eldest prince to speak, the civil and military officers next to him said bluntly: "Although the two princes are brothers, the eldest prince, as the heir, was personally determined by the old king in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and he is the legitimate King of Dawan." If you imprison the eldest prince, you are guilty of treason! ”
Obviously, in terms of public opinion, the eldest prince's side is much superior. This made the second prince somewhat discouraged and panicked. As the saying goes, if the name is not right, it is not good. The eldest prince is indeed the heir of his father, and it is absolutely reasonable for him to do so. Hate is hateful because his coup plan was disrupted, and as soon as the eldest prince appeared, these people had the backbone to dare to proclaim justice. Otherwise, the eldest prince and Shu Yan and others will be successfully eliminated, and the dragons will be leaderless, even if their own side is unpopular, who would dare to stand up and oppose it?
The second prince was annoyed, and suddenly heard Tuge say loudly: "The eldest prince is not only the heir of the old king, but now he has been canonized by the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, and he is the rightful King of Dawan." Second prince, you give up your illusions and stop fighting uselessly. ”
"The canonization of the Son of Heaven of the Great Jin Dynasty? How could there be the canonization of the Son of Heaven of the Great Jin Dynasty? The second prince was surprised.
Shu Yan listened to the conversation between the two sides very hard, but only occasionally understood half a sentence.
At this time, Tug suddenly whispered to him, "It's your turn." ”
"Me? What's the matter with me? ”
Tug explained the conversation with the second prince to Shu Yan just now. Shu Yan understood, knowing that Tuge meant that he wanted to canonize the eldest prince as the new legitimate King of Dawan on the spot on behalf of the Son of Heaven of the Great Jin. Originally, Shu Yan did not have this right, but the matter was urgent, and he was also considering the Great Jin court, so he agreed.
Shu Yan read the words of the seal that was about to be read out to Tuge one by one in the official dialect of the Great Jin Dynasty. Tug then translated it in Dawan and taught Shu Yan what to say. After teaching it a few times, Shu Yan remembered it, and immediately took two steps forward and shouted loudly in Dawan: "Who said that there is no canonization of the Son of Heaven of the Great Jin?" ”
The second prince was startled at first, and then sneered: "Although you are an envoy of the Great Jin, when you came, my father had not yet arrived. Shouldn't you tell me that you didn't know the prophet and brought the title of the Son of Heaven of the Great Jin Dynasty in advance, right? ”
Shu Yan also sneered and said, "The old king has just died two days ago, of course I can't bring the seal in advance." However, since I am an envoy of the Great Jin, I have the right to issue an edict on behalf of the Son of Heaven of the Great Jin. Now I officially declare orally: The Son of Heaven of the Great Jin Dynasty respects the wishes of the old king of Lanyu and agrees that the eldest prince Mozhi will inherit the throne of the king of the Great Wan Kingdom. ”
In order not to lose the dignity and take into account the fact that everyone present could understand it, Shu Yan said it in the official dialect of the Great Jin Dynasty and the dialect of the Great Wan respectively. After hearing this, the civil and military people were even more enthusiastic and applauded.
Stealing chickens can't be done, and the rice is eroded. The second prince was so angry that he simply led the left and right to pick up the spear and rush towards the eldest prince. Unexpectedly, the general of the protector army had already prepared, and a burst of bows and arrows shot them in a mess, and the second prince was also hit by an arrow in his arm.
Seeing that things were not good, the second prince's people hurriedly escorted the second prince back to the palace and closed the palace door. The eldest prince's side did not dare to attack for the time being, so it was deadlocked.
Luo Wa also knew the general situation outside, and guessed that her father and others had rescued people safely, so she was relieved. Suddenly, the second prince came back from outside, with a wound on his left arm, and hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" ”
The second prince pushed her away and said angrily: "It was your father who harmed me!" ”
Luo Wa knew in her heart that it was true that her father had a lot to do with this matter. For the eldest prince, his father is a great achievement, but for the second prince, it is a great responsibility. The second prince could have taken the account on his head, but he didn't. This touched her very much, and even a little reluctant.
Suddenly, a general under the second prince said angrily to the second prince: "Your Highness, the so-called father's debt is repaid." Her father has ruined our big things, and he has hurt you a lot, so only by killing this woman can you solve the hatred in your heart. As he spoke, he drew his knife and was about to run to Luowa.
"Don't hurt her!" The second prince pushed the general away. Such an impulse involved his wound and let out an "oops".
At the right time, one of his subordinates brought trauma medicine. Seeing this, Luo Wa hurriedly stepped forward and said softly, "I'll come." Then he carefully helped the second prince to treat his wounds.
A person who has admired him for a long time heals his wounds with his own hands, if there are no chaos in the government, how happy this would be. Thinking of this, the second prince couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Highness, listen to my advice and stop here." Luo Wa carefully healed the second prince's injuries and sincerely comforted him.
"Stop? Why should I stop? They had the upper hand for the time being, but my reinforcements had not yet arrived. There are more than 70 cities in Dawan, and most of our people are on the border. Not only these people will come to my aid, but many soldiers and horses from neighboring countries will also come with them, and when the time comes, we will be able to overthrow the great prince!" ”
"But the eldest prince has already been awarded the title of the Son of Heaven of the Great Jin, even if you overthrow him, it will be untenable."
"Hmph, the canonization of the king of the subject country by the Son of Heaven of the Great Jin Dynasty is just a symbol, and he does not interfere with the actual selection of who is the heir. In other words, canonizing me is the same as canonizing my brother. Although the eldest prince has the title of the Son of Heaven of the Great Jin Dynasty, as long as the eldest prince is defeated and the surname Shu is killed, I will deny it at that time. Then I will write to the Son of Heaven of the Great Jin Dynasty in the name of the king to ask for a seal, and I will also be named the official King of Dawan. Take a step back and say, Dawan is more than 13,000 miles away from Dajin, and now there are Qi Wan's rebellion, I'm afraid I can't take care of myself, what can I do? ”
"Not necessarily, I'm afraid. Did His Highness ignore the existence of the Western Regions Governor's Mansion? ”
"The Western Regions Governor's Mansion?" Hearing this name, the second prince paused, "Does Suo Changshi know about this?" ”
"Of course I do. That's why I warn you. Luo Wa said, took out a letter from her bosom, handed it to the second prince, and said, "This is a letter from General Shu's entourage to my father for safekeeping, and it is a letter written by Suo Changshi of the Western Regions Governor's Mansion." ”
The second prince unfolded the letter, and at this time he no longer pretended not to know the official text of the Great Jin, and read it from beginning to end, and his face changed a little.
Luo Wa also saw it, and took the opportunity to continue: "Although the Central Plains is in chaos, the Western Regions Changshi Mansion is still strong. There is no such thing as an impermeable wall. If Suo Changshi knew that the envoy of the Great Jin Dynasty was killed by you under his explicit order, would he give up? ”
"Although the Western Regions Changshi Mansion is powerful, Dawan is the most remote state, thousands of miles away, beyond the reach of the whip. Even if he sent a large army over and crossed the desert, he would not be able to keep up with the supplies, so he would not be afraid. Although the second prince is still resisting, he is obviously not so tough.
That's not true. The Governor's Mansion of the Western Regions is in charge of the Western Regions, and as long as he gives an order, it is possible for the countries along the route not only to provide grain and grass, but even to directly dispatch people and horses to assist. Take a step back and say, putting aside the long history of the Western Regions, as far as our Dawan country is concerned, are you sure that you can defeat the eldest prince? Not even half the chance of winning, right? Even if you get lucky enough to win, you're going to be in a lot of trouble. ”
The second prince was surprised: "I became the king, and the entire Dawan is mine, so what's the trouble?" ”
"Your Highness is really fascinated by the throne. Regardless of whether your throne is justified or not, the ministers are behind the hearts of the people, that is, those foreign soldiers and horses you invited, do you think they really help you? They are wolves who want to fish in troubled waters, and they want to profit from it. If there is no profit, who will spend money and money to organize a large number of soldiers and horses to help other countries? When the time comes, it is easy to please God, and it is difficult to send God. What if so many foreign soldiers and horses don't leave Dawan? You are luring the wolf into the house and bringing your own suffering. ”33
Luo Wa's words were reasonable, and the second prince was shocked into a cold sweat when he heard it, and hesitated for a long time. Yes, I am a noble prince, and I don't enjoy the ready-made glory and wealth, so why do I have to make this mess! If you really fail, not to mention losing your net worth and life, you will have to bear infamy, sorry for the ancestors who created the foundation, and sorry for the subjects of Dawan, why bother!
"But the matter has come to this point, how can there be a turning back arrow when you open the bow?"
Luo Wa heard that the second prince had remorse, and was very happy: "As long as Your Highness is willing to change his mind, everything is in time, and I can guarantee that you are okay." ”
"Then, what you promised me, does it still count?"
"What did I promise you?"
"Be my princess - I can't lose both the country and the beauty."
Luo Wa blushed and lowered her head: "I do." ”
The palace door was wide open, and accompanied by Luo Wa, the second prince asked to surrender.
Tug was worried that after Luo Wa was captured by the second prince, he would suffer miserably because of his own reasons, but he couldn't help but be overjoyed to see his daughter appear in front of him unscathed.
Luo Wa pleaded guilty to the eldest prince on behalf of the second prince. The eldest prince has always been generous, and he is his own brother, of course, regardless of his previous suspicions, he pardoned the second prince and his henchmen.
Mo Zhi officially became the king of Dawan Kingdom, officially held a funeral for his father, and personally gave marriage to the second prince and Luo Wa. Since the two are well married, the second prince and Tuge have of course resolved their grievances.
After a few days, everything settled down, and Shu Yan came to find Mo Zhi's resignation accompanied by Tuge. Mo Zhi descended to greet him: "The widow can have today, it all depends on General Shu and Tuge's father and daughter." The Tug father and daughter are my Dawan people, and the widow will have another reward in the future. General Shu is an envoy of the Celestial Empire, naturally not a rare reward, today specially selected five of the best sweat and blood horses, four to the Great Jin Emperor, and the other to General Shu personally. ”
Who knew that Shu Yan smiled: "May I ask Your Majesty, can I ask for another reward?" ”
Mo Zhi didn't expect that Shu Yan, who had always been humble and respectful, would actually open his mouth to ask for a reward from him, and couldn't help laughing heartily: "The widow originally thought that the Celestial Empire was a prosperous township with everything, and the rarest thing was my Dawan's sweaty BMW, but I didn't expect it to go against the general's will." It doesn't matter, you can say it, I will promise you any gold and silver treasures you want. ”
"I don't want any gold and silver treasures, I want to ask Your Majesty to marry me."
"Marriage?"
As soon as this statement came out, not only Mozhi, but even Tug was surprised.
"You are from Jin, you have only been in Dawan for a few days, have you taken a fancy to someone's woman? No matter which one you fall into, I'll call the shots for you! ”
Some people died, but not completely......
