Chapter Eighty-Nine: Delivery of the City
Liang Xiang was very worried when he knew that the envoy had been assassinated, but he was also relieved to learn that the envoy Subei was safe.
"Next, when the third prince and the princess of the Northern Wilderness get married, Your Majesty will recall the princes, which is very beneficial to our suggestion. And I heard that His Majesty also intends to use the princes to sharpen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince this time, and we are going to take this opportunity to let His Majesty depose the crown prince. Liang Xiang said.
Lord Fang was a little worried, and said, "But I heard that the suggestion of using the princes to sharpen the prince was put forward by Zhang Yuan, will there be fraud in the middle?" ”
At this time, Lord Yang, the young superintendent, said: "What Lord Fang said is not unreasonable, but I think that Zhang Yuan wants to take this opportunity to see which princes are talented and have the intention to save their positions, and then eradicate dissidents." He's betting! ”
Liang Xiang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes!" We just want to protect the princes from Zhang Yuan's poison and find the person who is suitable to sit on the throne of the crown prince. ”
"Do your best!" Everyone said in unison.
Because Emperor Jing was worried that Subei would be poisoned again, he limited the scope of Subei's activities to the palace where he lived, and only when Emperor Jing summoned him, he could go to the Hall of Renxin, which made Subei very dissatisfied, and there was always a feeling of being under house arrest.
It's just that Su Bei knows that the most important thing for his freedom now is the marriage of the princess, so he only resisted verbally, and did not take actual action.
On this day, Su Bei had just discussed relevant matters with Emperor Jing in the Renxin Hall and returned to his residence, and Su Hu was slipping out of Su Bei's residence.
She didn't walk in the direction of the Benevolence Hall, but came to the Imperial Garden.
"It's already been arranged on the master's emissary!"
The man didn't turn around, didn't speak, just raised his hand and motioned for Suhu to leave first.
At this time, Su Bei walked into the room, always feeling that something was not right, and suddenly felt as if there was a different smell in the air, and his intuition told him to leave this room quickly or he might die.
Sure enough, Su Bei fell down on all fours as soon as he walked to the door, he wanted to shout for help, but he couldn't scream at all, fortunately, there were enough people arranged by Father-in-law Gui, and as soon as Su Bei fell, the guards found him.
The guards hurriedly sent Su Bei in, he used his last strength to signal those guards, don't bring him into the room, at first those guards didn't understand, knowing that the first few guards fell one after another, the people outside knew that there was something wrong with the room, and quickly carried Su Bei outside, and then called someone to inform the imperial doctor, and told the emperor.
"Your Majesty, this messenger should be poisoned!" The Imperial Physician said.
I knew that you wouldn't give up, but fortunately I was prepared, otherwise I would have been ruined here.
"Check it out to me, what kind of poison is it! Who did it, he actually did it in the palace, and this person's hand was too long. Li Jing said in a calm tone.
"Yes!"
Everyone fell to their knees and replied in unison.
Li Jing returned to the Renxin Hall after visiting Northern Jiangsu and said, "What do you think of Gonggong Gui's incident this time?" ”
Your Majesty, where do I know? I don't even know who is trying to sabotage the harmony, how do I know who did it?
Gonggong Gui was a little frightened, because although Li Jing looked calm and did not get angry, he knew that this kind of moment was the most angry, "Your Majesty, the old slave feels that the most important thing now is to wake up the messenger and ask him about the situation at that time, and the envoy was not the only one in the palace at that time, there were also some palace maids inside, and they were all dead." ”
"You're saying that the person who poisoned is likely to be among those palace maids?" Li Jing said.
Did I mean that? But this is not impossible, after all, dead people can't speak, it seems that His Majesty has already thought about how to explain this matter to the Northern Wilderness.
"Quite possibly! It's just that now that the person is dead, so many palace maids are afraid that it is difficult to judge which one it is. Gonggong Gui said tentatively.
Li Jing thought for a while and said: "It's not important, the important thing is that we must find out the talent behind the person who poisoned us, otherwise I am afraid that there will be no peace." ”
I don't understand what Your Majesty means, and for a while I want to use those palace maids who died to give an explanation to Beihuang, and then I say that I want to find out who is behind it. It doesn't matter, anyway, I'll do what he says!
"Yes!" Gonggong Gui replied.
"Has there been any recent movement on Zhang Yuan's side?" Li Jing then asked.
Grandpa Gui: "Not for the time being, the same as before." ”
"Then keep an eye on it as usual." Li Jing commanded.
At this time, Su Bei woke up, and Li Jing hurriedly went over to take a look after hearing about it.
"Does the messenger feel better?" Li Jing said.
Su Bei didn't have the strength to speak, just nodded, and then signaled Li Jing that he wanted to rest, and Li Jing told everyone to take good care of Su Bei and left.
Obviously, this poison is definitely not under Emperor Jing, these days when discussing peace matters with him, I can feel that he should be as concerned about this marriage as His Majesty, and Emperor Jing has already given me a pill that can temporarily block the poison on the first day I came, and he saved my life. Therefore, I am afraid that the interior of this Jingguo is even more chaotic than His Majesty expected before, no wonder Emperor Jing wants to be friendly so much, since this is the case, I must strive for some more benefits for the Northern Wilderness, otherwise I will not be sorry for my two escapes from death.
Zhang Yuan was very happy to learn that the envoy had been poisoned, it seems that I am not the only one who opposes this matter, so it is best to save me from worrying about this matter.
The next day, Su Bei felt that the game between him and Emperor Jing should also be understood, after all, the longer he stayed here, the greater the variables of his affinity.
Between Northern Jiangsu and Emperor Jing, the land cession and property delivery have almost been negotiated, and what has not been negotiated is the Qiyue City and Liwei City at the junction of the Northern Wilderness and Jingguo, and the Northern Wilderness insists on classifying these two cities as the Northern Wilderness, Emperor Jing feels that at most one will be given, especially this Qiyue City, Emperor Jing is very reluctant, because there is actually only a small area next to the Northern Wilderness, and more of them are the people of Dajing, unlike Liyu City, where there are all kinds of people, and the strategic location is not so good, so Emperor Jing has been gritting his teeth and not letting go.
Northern Jiangsu is also determined to pocket the two cities, so the two sides have been deadlocked, but now I think that it would be good if I only got Qiyue City, and in addition, there are mostly people from the Northern Wilderness in Liwei City, so Subei thought about simply taking a step back and quickly solving this matter.
So Subei came to the Hall of Benevolence.
"Your Majesty, I wonder if you accepted yesterday's proposal?" Su Bei said.
"This Qiyue City is a place where the people of my Dajing live and work in peace and contentment, and it will be ceded to the Northern Wilderness at once, I am afraid that it will be criticized by the people of the world, which is closer to the Northern Wilderness from the Dragon City, and the Northern Wilderness is more convenient to manage." Li Jing said.
