Chapter 356: Take the situation into your own hands
"Shizi, the Seventh Prince has taken away the Tatar envoys."
Houfu, Pei Huan learned about the situation in the prison, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked: "Is it in the name of the emperor?" ”
"Exactly."
Pei Huan smiled and shook his head: "I also said that the Seven Princes can be stable, but it will get out of control in a few days, and send a message to the princess's mansion to tell the silver-masked man and the Tatar envoy...... Treason. ”
"Yes."
The guards quickly faded, and silence fell into the room.
But after a while, there was a knock on the door, and Pei Huan looked up: "Come in." ”
"Squeak-"
The closed door was pushed open, and Song Shuwan slowly walked into the house: "There are some things I want to talk to the prince about." ”
Pei Huan said "um", pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Sit down." ”
As the words fell, he picked up the teapot on the side.
In the sound of the water, Song Shuwan asked, "You deliberately let the flying kite hear the whereabouts of Princess Yunmo." ”
The tone that seems to be questioning, but it is all determined.
Pei Huan pushed the teacup to the middle of the table and said lightly, "You shouldn't let the flying kite come over and eavesdrop." ”
Song Shuwan picked up the teacup: "I don't want Fei Kite to come over and eavesdrop, it's just that the prince has so many things to hide from me, I always have to have a bottom, right?" ”
Pei Huan nodded: "That's right, so I'm going to let you leave Beijing." ”
Song Shuwan paused, and the expression on her face changed a little: "I said before that I won't ......"
"The Seventh Prince has taken the Tatar envoys out of the prison."
The short sentence made Song Shuwan frown, and after a short silence, she spoke: "Is it the emperor's will?" ”
"Do you think the emperor will release the Tatar envoys so quickly?"
Song Shuwan was silent, and finally put the Tatar envoys in prison, and the emperor naturally wouldn't let them come out easily, but ......
"Why did the Seven Princes dare to let them leave the Heavenly Prison? And, what about the envoys of Beidi? Why didn't Shizi mention it? No, the Seventh Prince only took the Tatar envoys out of the prison, right? ”
"Beidi's envoy was released by me."
The two looked at each other, Song Shuwan opened her mouth, and after thinking about it a few times, she found that she didn't know what to say.
Time passed, and the room fell silent again.
After a long time, Pei Huan lifted the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea slowly: "What, I don't know what to say?" ”
Song Shuwan shook her head lightly: "It's not so much that I don't know what to say, it's better to say what I'm thinking." ”
Pei Huan followed her words: "Oh? So what are you thinking? ”
"I'm wondering what kind of arrangement the prince has made, after provoking the envoys of Tatar and Beidi, to make such a thing." Between the words, Song Shuwan's face flashed with some thought.
Pei Huan looked at her, a flash of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and his arrangement was seen again, although he only had eyebrows, but in the end he revealed his original plan.
"The envoys of Tatar and Beidi are indeed provoked by me, as for the follow-up arrangements, it depends on how the seventh prince and the fourth prince are."
Song Shuwan raised her eyebrows: "The prince wants to let these two sides fight?" ”
"Wrong, it is to let the four princes suppress the seven princes, so that the situation can be in my hands."
Pei Huan's words fell, and surprise flashed on Song Shuwan's face: "The prince is like this, tell me the follow-up arrangements?" ”
"What if you don't tell you, and you send a flying kite to eavesdrop? I don't want my plan to go wrong at the crucial point. ”
Song Shuwan: "......"
She admits that it was wrong to send flying kites to eavesdrop, but she hid many Pei Huan's secret guards around her, so in this case, how could eavesdropping affect the situation?
thought so, but Song Shuwan didn't say anything, and after sitting for a while, she left Pei Huan's room.
Before leaving, she told Pei Huan: "Tomorrow I have to do acupuncture for Shizi twice, please Shizi must set aside time." ”
Pei Huan didn't answer, only holding the teacup and sipping the tea slowly.
That night, the news that the Tatar envoys were brought back to the post station by the Seventh Prince reached the palace, and the emperor rubbed his fingertips, turned to look at the bright moon outside the window, and sighed faintly.
He thinks that he is fair enough to the prince, how can he still not give up one or two, and all of them have to stare at his position under the dragon robe? That's it, then don't blame him for being polite.
The next day, a piece of news suddenly spread in Beijing that the Seventh Prince colluded with the Tatars to deliberately hide the princess Yunmo of Beidi and blame Pei Shizi, causing Pei Shizi to be seriously injured.
Just when the people were skeptical, a holy decree was passed down in the palace, which directly confirmed the news.
"The Seven Princes colluded with foreigners, and their sins were unforgivable, and now they have been reduced to commoners and distributed to the frontier."
Suddenly, the entire capital was in an uproar.
"This, this, how did such an incident happen for no reason?"
"Who knows, but the holy decree has come down, and it must not be false."
"The dignified prince is assigned to the frontier, and the emperor is also patient, but the foreign clan he colluded with is a Tatar, right? The army of the border Tatars and Beidi is pressing on the frontier of the Great Zhou, and the emperor has disposed of the seven princes, so what about the Tatar envoys? ”
Outside the court, the people talked a lot; In the imperial study, dozens of ministers were also discussing how to deal with the matter.
"It stands to reason that Tatar is in the Great Zhou right now, and colluding with the prince of our dynasty must be dealt with in accordance with the laws of the Great Zhou, but on the other side of the border, it is not easy to do it."
"If you can let the army of Beidi on the border retreat, then there will be no problem in dealing with the Tatar envoys."
"It's easy to say, then Beidi has mobilized many armies to suppress the border, how can he say retreat?"
The ministers quarreled as they spoke, and for a moment, the entire imperial study fell into a noise.
After the imperial case, the emperor pinched his eyebrows: "Okay." ”
The majestic voice fell, and there was an instant silence in the imperial study.
The emperor continued to speak: "I know what you are worried about, but it is a fact that the armies of the two countries on the border are pressing the border, if you want to deal with the Tatar envoys, then someone has to press the border, do you think, who is suitable to go to the border right now?" ”
After a short silence, the military department Shangshu walked out: "Your Majesty, the prince of Nayong has been to the border for a long time, and there is Lin Yujun on his side, so there should be no need to send people over, right?" ”
His voice fell, and Hubu Shangshu followed and spoke: "What if Prince Yong went to the border?" led Lin Yujun for a long time, and I didn't see him make any achievements, in my opinion, it is better to let Pei Shizi go, although Pei Shizi is not good at doing, but those eyes can already see, as long as the command is right, in the rear, it can also suppress Tatar and Beidi. ”
The military department snorted coldly: "Ridiculous, bad can only shrink in the rear, the battlefield situation is ever-changing, once the news is not transmitted, don't you let the soldiers who participated in the war go to death?" ”
As the two spoke, the study was divided into two factions.
Just when no one could convince the other party, a notice suddenly came from outside the door: "King Yun, Pei Shizi asks to see——"
The emperor's expression was solemn: "Xuan." ”
Under the gaze of the ministers, Pei Huan and King Yun entered the imperial study.
