Chapter 300: The Emperor Changes His Mind?
deliberately relaxed the guards, so that the prince of Dongyi had a chance to take advantage of it, robbed their spies that Dongyi had planted in the Yunxiao Kingdom, and then arrested the prince of Dongyi as a fugitive.
The emperor thought about Jun Lingyun's purpose, and the more he thought about it, the more he was happy.
Just like the prince said, exchanging his daughter for the city, I can't say that the world will scold him for selling his daughter for glory.
can be exchanged for the prince of the enemy country who has committed the taboo of diplomatic relations, and the world will only praise him for his wisdom and martial arts.
If you achieve your goal and get a good name, how can the emperor not be happy? He was very satisfied with this idea, and sighed in his heart, he really didn't cultivate Jun Lingyun for so many years in vain.
The emperor thought about it, but what he didn't expect was that the identities of Aunt Liu and Chu Xue'er were not orphans of General Dongyi, but members of the royal family.
What he didn't expect was that Jun Lingyun privately swallowed hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and gave Dongfang Muze two hours to escape.
If you know, the emperor's mood is probably not so good.
Now the only thing the emperor is dissatisfied with is his son, who is so bored that he holds all plans and ideas in his heart.
If Jun Lingyun had told him about his plan earlier, why would he be angry for a few days.
But if he wants to hand over the country to one person, among his sons, it must be Jun Lingyun.
He just hoped that Jun Lingyun would put the interests of the Yunxiao Kingdom first. I don't act impulsively for anyone's sake. In this way, he can rest assured that the Kingdom of the Clouds will be in his hands.
Only Jun Lingyun is the son of him and Queen Yin, in terms of strategy and patience, how can the other sons compare?
If Jun Lingyun wasn't so arbitrary, it would be more in line with his heart.
The emperor seems to have forgotten that this arbitrary character was also indulged by him in order to avoid laziness.
Before Gonggong Fu could taste the deep meaning of the emperor's last sentence, he saw that the emperor patted his head with some annoyance
The emperor remembered that a few days ago, he asked the third child to approach the county lord of Nanyan, alas, is it a little impulsive? He suddenly regretted it.
But the words are all said, he is the respect of the ninety-five, and he can't go back on his word, forget it, look at the creation of the third child, if he doesn't fight for himself, he can't complain about his father.
If he really marries the lord of Shengya County and leaves an opponent for the prince, the tiger can't raise a cat.
The emperor thought that he could achieve his goal without having to pay a daughter, and rubbed his hands. I went to eat in good spirits.
Fu Gonggong was in the clouds, so he had to keep up and serve, and he was like a tiger, in order to live longer, he had better ask a few words.
Under the early dynasty, the emperor moved to the palace of Princess Wantao.
Princess Wantao didn't know what the emperor wanted to say to her again, but she could only get up to greet her.
"Wan Tao to meet my father."
The emperor himself pulled her up, took her to a chair and sat down, and sat side by side with her, regardless of her status.
"Wantao, my father knows that I have made you suffer these days."
Princess Wantao got up busily,
"My daughter doesn't dare."
"You sit."
The emperor's attitude was a little kinder than before, and Princess Wantao's heart was even more uneasy, and she sat down sideways.
But I heard the emperor say:
"My father figured it out, but my father was too anxious, and my princess Wantao was still young, so she shouldn't have considered getting married so early. My father was bent on thinking about the affairs of the family and the country, and he didn't take into account your feelings, which was not good for my father. Since Wantao is unwilling, she will not marry. ”
Princess Wantao looked up at the emperor in disbelief.
"Your mother, I will make it up to her. Treat you and the emperor, father, and choose a good son-in-law for you. The matter of going to Dongyi and kissing is over. ”
Princess Wantao's eyes were hazy with tears, and she couldn't believe that these were words from her father's mouth.
Although she has died to her father, but for so many years, the father-daughter love she has poured into her father is not adulterated at all, how can she not be moved to hear her father say such things today.
The Emperor patted Princess Wantao on the shoulder.
"Wan Tao may forgive his father?"
Princess Wantao couldn't hold back any longer, and tears fell.
"Father, it's Wantao who is ignorant, and I'm ashamed of your favor. You care about the world, but Wantao only cares about herself. ”
The Emperor was satisfied, and showed a fatherly smile.
"Call your mother, and go to me and have lunch together. Our family hasn't eaten at the same table for a long time. ”
Princess Wantao nodded tearfully, saw the emperor get up, and saluted respectfully.
"Wan Tao Gong sent my father."
She knew that if she wanted her father to change his mind, the relationship between the crown prince and his brother would be indispensable, but no matter what, her father was willing to change his mind, and she was grateful.
It's just that thinking of the fact that the mother concubine was once locked up in the cold palace, her heart still hurts faintly.
"Father, how much my daughter wishes, we are just an ordinary family, an ordinary father and daughter."
Her muttering can only be heard by herself.
What Princess Wantao didn't know was that the crown prince and brother, who had helped her a lot, were sleeping in the open and tracking Dongfang Muze.
The white owl beat his horse and caught up with Jun Lingyun.
"Master, do we really want to arrest the prince of Dongyi back, or do we want to let him go back to Dongyi?"
He wasn't sure. On the one hand, the prince went to the Dongyi country to lay out, and on the other hand, the master and the emperor asked for orders to hunt down. Neither side seems to be fake.
Jun Lingyun said casually:
"If you can catch him, catch him back, and if you can't catch him, let him go."
After all, no matter where he is, Dongfang Muze can't please him. The difference is just that the father is not good to explain.
It was the first time for Bai Xiao to perform such a relaxed and casual task, and the master must be in a hurry to go back and marry the crown princess, and his mind was not here.
Thinking of this, the white owl laughed twice.
"Master, why don't we go back after making a show, don't let the princess wait for a long time."
"Are you stupid when Dongfang Muze is?"
If you don't chase him to the door of his hometown, he will definitely notice that something is wrong and take precautions.
"Drive, drive!"
Jun Lingyun pinched the horse's belly twice, and then exceeded the white owl by one horse. The white owl and his attendants followed closely.
Finally, after a day and a night, the traces of Dongfang Muze and his party were found. It's just that the more you track, the more remote it becomes, and it's deserted, densely forested, and almost untouched.
Even Jun Lingyun, the crown prince, does not have a specific topographic map here, only knows that there is such a no-man's area.
Following the chariot and horse prints, through a dense forest, the clue came to an abrupt end, just because in front of them, there was a large wetland.
The white owl's eyes were on the horse and checking, and his gaze was slightly solemn.
"Master, the chariot and horse prints, they will disappear here, they may have waded through this wetland, and they are bold enough."
There are many swamps in the wetlands, and once you fall into it, no matter how strong your martial arts are, it will not help. The more you struggle, the faster you fall in.
Jun Lingyun also dismounted and looked at the wetland in front of him, Dongfang Muze, did he really pass from here?
No matter how good the light work is, you have to focus on it.
The chariot and horse prints are indeed good to disappear here, but if Dongfang Muze and his party ride horses, how can they live in the swamp?
If the horses were abandoned, how could those horses and carts disappear out of thin air, leaving not even a mark?
Could it be that the trail in front of them is a trap that deliberately leads them into the swamp?
