Chapter 107: The Ones Who Are Kind
The soup bowl has been sent away.
It's chicken soup, Concubine Lan took the initiative to order it, she likes to drink chicken soup.
The one who poisoned her...... Qin Chuan also guessed that it was Zhou Dewei with his eyes closed, but there was no evidence.
Zhou Dewei is taking revenge on himself, and wants to give Qin Chuan a dismount.
Meaning, there are his people in the palace who can kill anyone at any time.
Gao Liuyue: "Your Majesty, send someone to investigate, starting from the imperial dining room, and then the palace maids who deliver the dishes, the eunuchs, and all the people who have come into contact with Concubine Lan's diet." β
"No need."
"But ......"
"If you can't find it, it's useless to find it, this matter was done by Zhou Dewei, and he wants to give me a warning."
Qin Chuan stood up and covered Concubine Lan's body with a quilt: "Bury Concubine Lan, according to the etiquette of the concubine, bury it thickly." and passed the book to the lord of the Lan country. β
Gao Liuyue hesitated: "Your Majesty, Concubine Lan died in the palace, will the Lan Kingdom think that we killed her?" β
Even so, Concubine Lan should be put into the ground.
A guard walked over: "Your Majesty, the Great Elder of the Sect Qin Wen is here to see." β
"Let him go to the study, I ...... That's in the past. β
β¦β¦
Zhou Dewei is back, Qin Chuan has been slacking off for two months, and now it's time to retract.
It's not that being an emperor means that you can control everything, things are far from good.
The biggest difference between now and when he was the prince is that Zhou Dewei will be very respectful to Qin Chuan on the surface, but he, an old guy, has moved from the light to the dark.
He's even more dangerous.
In the south study, Qin Wen brought new news, the Northern Jin Dynasty came, and asked for peace.
The Jin Kingdom and Great Xia have been at war for more than a hundred years, and they have also been close to each other five times, this is a group of Tartars, a group of villains without credit.
No matter who they marry, they will break their word and get fat.
It is also their expedient measure, and they want to buy time for their own soldiers.
Qin asked: "Your Majesty, this time, they have taken a fancy to Qin Min. β
Min Rou is the daughter of the first emperor, the fourth daughter in the royal family, and is known as Princess Heya.
According to the ancestral family law, the marriage of all princesses must be mutually agreed upon by the emperor and the clan.
A few years ago, Qin Chuan heard that a princess who had married in the Northern Jin Dynasty had been defiled by the prince's father, and then committed suicide due to humiliation.
Because the court really can't come up with money to fight, it can only hold back its anger in its heart.
"Your Majesty, they demanded that by the end of the month at the latest, the princess must be sent to the Northern Jin Dynasty, and someone will greet her at the border."
Blindly seeking perfection and being led by the nose by a small country, is it considered the demeanor of the country?
How can I say that Princess Heya is also her own sister, such a restrained and quiet girl, going to be a concubine for the barbarian? If he is humiliated again, what kind of face does he, who is a brother, have to be an emperor.
"I don't agree."
Qin asked, "Your Majesty?" What's wrong with you, harmony is a major matter of the country, for the stability of the border, harmony is necessary. The country is now suffering from internal and external troubles, the monarch and the minister are not of the same mind, they can't fight at all, and the periphery of the government and the opposition is controlled by Zhou Dewei, so we can't fight. If they don't send it to the princess, they will be angry. β
"Absolutely not, my principle is that the daughter of another country can come to the capital to make peace, but the daughter of the Qin family must not marry far away from another country. There has to be a distinction between the upper kingdom and the lower kingdom, isn't it? β
Diplomacy between countries, Qin Chuan doesn't know.
But Princess Anping had just died, and her death gave Qin Chuan a hint of alarm.
As soon as Princess Heya leaves the capital, she may be assassinated, and Zhou Dewei is very likely to destroy Heqin.
So who's going to take the blame?
Naturally, it was the imperial court, and it was Qin Chuan who came to take the blame, lost his sister, and offended the vassal states.
The wise do not do it.
He told Qin Wen about Concubine Lan, and analyzed the fact that Zhou Dewei might assassinate Heqin's team, and resolutely couldn't have any more accidents, otherwise the situation would be even more difficult to control.
"Your Majesty, your worries are justified, but if you don't get along, our border will suffer greatly."
"Over there in the Northern Jin Dynasty, who is stationed in the garrison?"
"It's a disciple of the clan, called Qin Zhao."
Fortunately, it's not Zhou Dewei's person.
Qin Wen introduced that Qin Zhao did not have the ability to command troops, he went to garrison the border pass, which was completely recommended by the family, and that place was relatively barren, and no one wanted to go, Qin Zhao went to garrison the border pass, in fact, he wanted to stay away from the government.
If you want to talk about war, he is too overwhelmed. Although the Northern Jin Dynasty is a small country, but the soldiers are brave, against the Great Xia army, you can fight with one enemy two, one enemy three, if it is not for the natural danger and strong camp, Qin Zhao has no ability to resist for seven or eight years.
"Your Majesty, if something happens at the border, it will cost the people and money, and harmony is the most reasonable and proper way to minimize the losses of the two countries."
Qin Chuan: "Then why didn't the Northern Jin Dynasty send a princess to the capital?" Do you have to send someone to serve them every time? I will not allow it! β
"But ......"
"That's it! Don't mention the matter of harmony, Concubine Lan is newly mourned, I am in a bad mood, you ...... You go back first, tonight, I want to keep a vigil for Concubine Lan. β
In the main hall of the clan.
The two envoys from the Northern Jin Dynasty waited impatiently.
After drinking tea for so long, I didn't see the Great Elder returning, and I didn't even sing and dance, it was too bad.
Anyway, I should find a few women to accompany me.
When Qin Wen came back, one of them stood up angrily: "Hey! How did you go for so long?! It's been more than an hour, how is your emperor thinking about it? β
"The emperor has been unwell recently, so let's wait here for two more days, how about enjoying the scenery of the capital first?"
"Humph! Scenery? We're here on an errand, not a play! We are the messengers, representing the lord of the country, the country! We want to see your emperor Qin Chuan, hurry up and take us into the palace!" β
"This, I'm just afraid that it won't work, the emperor won't let people disturb him now, the two of you can choose to rest in the sect room, or you can choose to go to the post house to rest."
"We're not rare! We want to see the Emperor! β
β¦β¦
Zhou Mansion.
Several envoys came from the Northern Jin Dynasty, two of whom were official and had already gone to the post house to stay.
The person who reported the news said that Qin Chuan had not planned to meet them yet, which caused the two to be very unhappy and roared at the sect's inner court.
A protΓ©gΓ© of Zhou Dewei stood in front of him and analyzed the merits of the matter.
If Qin Chuan does not get along, the two countries will definitely be at war, and now the imperial court lacks capable people to lead the army, and Qin Chuan will be blind when the war is together.
"Enxiang, the student thinks that we can add fuel to the fire and make these two people full of hatred for Qin Chuan and the imperial court, and what they represent is the Emperor of the Northern Jin Dynasty."
Zhou Dewei: "Then tell me, how to deepen their hatred?" β
