Chapter 226: Bear with it a little longer
The emperor came back to his senses, and the muscles on his face came alive.
Regardless of who killed Tuoba Mingzhu, his purpose was achieved.
Of course, in order to confuse Chu Chenyuan, Chu Junze had to suffer some grievances for the time being.
"Someone!" The emperor took the case.
"Your Majesty!" The palace guards immediately surrounded him.
The emperor flicked the sleeves of his wide robe, "King Rui is bold!" Regardless of the overall situation, he killed Princess Xiliang by mistake! The merits will be handed over to Dali Temple for trial! Now pressed into the prison, waiting to fall! ”
Concubine Xian and Chu Junze were immediately dumbfounded.
The prison, that's where people stay?
If you go in, can you still come out?
"Your Majesty! ......" Concubine Xian knelt and climbed half a step and hugged the emperor's legs, "Everything is the fault of the concubine, please spare Ze'er and punish the concubine!" The concubine is willing to go to the prison to reflect and ask the emperor to condemn her! ”
"You have no way to teach, which directly leads to King Rui's behavior losing his due demeanor, causing a big disaster, and you still want to stay out of it?" The emperor pointed at Concubine Xian, "Concubine Xian's godson has no way, and they will be put in prison together!" ”
Even if it is done for Chu Chenyuan to see, the mother and son must go to heaven.
The emperor flicked his sleeves and turned his face up, no longer looking at the two people on the ground.
"Yes!"
The palace guards stepped forward and escorted Concubine Xian and Chu Junze away.
"Someone!" The Emperor shouted to the shadows.
"Your Majesty!" The man in black knelt before the emperor.
"Go to the barracks outside Kyoto and inform General Yun that Tuoba Mingzhu is dead, and act according to plan!" After the emperor finished speaking, he regained his composure and composure.
He is the lord of a country, why should he be pressed by Chu Chenyuan's evil seed.
Bear with it a little longer, this evil seed will disappear soon, and he can afford to wait.
"Yes!" The man in black departed.
"Three more!" The Emperor shouted.
"The minions are here!" Sanduo stood in front of the emperor instantly, "Send someone to catch up with Tuoba Hong and apologize to Tuoba Hong in person!" In addition, let the commander of the forbidden army send someone to escort Tuoba Hong's people out of Dachu safely! ”
Three days later, Chu Chenyuan died, and it was inevitable that Chu Chenyuan's subordinates would not attack Tuoba Hong's people.
Even if Tuoba Hong is not a good type, in the end, it is in the territory of Great Chu, and if you are careful in everything, you will not be wrong.
"Yes! Minions obey! Sanduo received the order, turned around and retreated.
Following.
The emperor dressed early in the morning and stood in front of the spirit of the emperor.
Subsequently, the ministers who came to guard the spirit came one after another, and the kings and ministers put incense on the spiritual throne and stood in their respective positions.
Although he didn't discuss state affairs in front of the spirit, after standing for a while, Prime Minister Zuo stood beside the emperor and lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, I heard that His Royal Highness King Rui killed Princess Xiliang by mistake, but is it true?" ”
The Emperor nodded.
"Is there a war with Xiliang soon?" Prime Minister Zuo asked cautiously.
He has business dealings with the people of Xiliang, and he must take precautions in advance.
When Prime Minister Zuo spoke, although he lowered his voice, those who were close still heard it.
Although the matter of Chu Junze killing Tuoba Mingzhu has been spread all over Kyoto, before the emperor announced it, everyone can only act as if nothing happened.
As for whether to start a war with Xiliang, it depends on how the emperor deals with it.
If the emperor is willing to cede the land and pay compensation, it is not impossible to ask Xiliang's forgiveness.
The key is that the silver that the emperor needed to add makeup to Miss Yun Er was all scraped together by them, who were courtiers, and now the treasury is empty, and there are no treasures that can be compensated for it.
If it is said that the land is cut, it is even more impossible.
The defenders on the border with Xiliang were all subordinates of the regent, and it was impossible for the regent to allow the emperor to cede the land for peace.
The emperor glanced at Prime Minister Zuo.
The queen mother's nephew has been rampant in the court for many years by relying on her in-law relationship.
In normal times, he is the best at figuring out the emperor's thoughts.
The emperor's eyes darkened, and Prime Minister Zuo did not go to the harem to comfort the queen mother who had just lost her husband, and asked about the war here, making it clear that there was an exchange of interests with Xiliang.
"Since the Prime Minister has opened his mouth, I will tell my thoughts in front of everyone." The emperor did not hide the meaning of the ministers, and raised his voice, as if this was the Qianqing Palace, not the mourning hall of the emperor.
The war between Xiliang and Dachu is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and even directly affects the vital interests of many ministers.
Whether they really care about the society in the world, or for their own vital interests, they all quietly pricked up their ears and listened to the emperor.
"Regarding the matter of King Rui killing Princess Xiliang, I have handed it over to Dali Temple for investigation.
The preliminary investigation learned that it was Princess Xiliang who disliked our King Rui of Dachu, and asked a maid to visit King Rui, and afterwards ridiculed King Rui, and it was Princess Xiliang who assassinated King Rui first.
In desperation, King Rui fought back against Princess Xiliang in order to protect himself. ”
The emperor never mentioned Chu Junze's knockout of Tuoba Pearl and forcibly taking possession of Tuoba Pearl.
This made the upright minister suddenly angry, "Your Majesty! ”
It was Huang Xiao, the squire of the military department, who was originally the deputy general beside Yun Pin, who had just been promoted by the emperor.
"The minister thinks that Princess Xiliang is deliberate, maybe, it was Xiliang who deliberately provoked a dispute with our Dachu and deliberately let Princess Heqin anger our Royal Highness King Rui, even if His Royal Highness King Rui has a good cultivation, he can't stand Princess Xiliang's repeated provocations.
In the minister's opinion, if Xiliang really came for a purpose, even if His Royal Highness King Rui didn't do it, Xiliang would send someone to kill Princess Heqin, create some unwarranted incidents, and provoke a war! ”
As soon as Huang Xiao's words fell, many ministers echoed.
The emperor glanced at his ministers.
Huang Xiao is right, Xiliang is just to provoke a war, and he, the emperor, is also involved, so what?
He has been suppressed by Chu Chenyuan's evil seed for all these years, if he doesn't kill Chu Chenyuan when he is in the prime of life, when he is old and frail, Chu Chenyuan will not be allowed to ride on his head to and pee.
The emperor sighed, "For the sake of the safety of the border soldiers, even if it is wrong in Xiliang, our Great Chu cannot go to war with Xiliang."
What's more, now that the treasury is empty, our Dachu can't stand the toss at all.
I have already sent King Rui and Concubine Xian to the prison, and at the same time sent people to appease His Royal Highness Prince Xiliang, hoping to turn a big thing into a small matter. ”
The ministers glanced at each other.
Princess Heqin died at the hands of King Rui, this is a few words of appeasement that can give up?
If Xiliang is just a bland small country, forget it, Xiliang has been recuperating for many years, riveting his strength, to expand the territory and expand the territory.
Under such a premise, he sent Princess Heqin, and it was clear that he was here to provoke, and at that time, he should refuse to marry Xiliang.
It's a pity that the emperor didn't understand it at the time, and according to Xiliang's meaning, he left Princess Heqin.
Well, now that everything is trending, it is not conducive to Da Chu.
Next, if the regent leads his subordinates to battle, then the emperor does not have to work for food, grass and military salaries, otherwise, a catastrophe is about to start in the territory of Great Chu.
The question is, the regent got married yesterday and has not yet arrived, is the regent immersed in the gentle township, and does not know that Xiliang and the princess are dead, and no one dares to ask.
"Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Zuo raised his head, "Aren't the defenders on the border with Xiliang the regent's subordinates?" It's all burning eyebrows, why don't you pass on the regent to the palace to discuss matters? What's more, the emperor is too high, and the regent, as the son of the emperor, doesn't he use it to guard the spirit? ”
According to the etiquette system, Chu Chenyuan really needs to come to guard the spirit.
It's just that Chu Chenyuan didn't come, and no one dared to invite him.
Prime Minister Zuo said that he was the queen mother's family, and the emperor was his own uncle, so he said it with an unkind face.
