Chapter 586 The only opponent, persuade people to accept concubines

"Can't mediate?" This sentence is a questionable tone, but the speaker's lips are slightly curled, his eyebrows are calm, and he is not surprised at all.

The third prince - now he is to be called the emperor. In Xiliang, he is already the highest person under the king and prince, above the Duke of Yi and enjoys the title of succession to the throne.

The brand-new Dajun held a white jade cup in his hand and gently touched Xue Guoxiang: "The prime minister also expected it."

The two are now in a ministerial alliance between the Northwest Plains and the Western Liang.

It turned out that these two alliances were subordinate to Xiliang Nagong, and even the succession of power needed to be approved by the king of Xiliang. Not long ago, due to the instigation of the northwest, there was a conflict and war, so the king of Xiliang sent Xue Guoxiang to mediate mediation, sign an agreement, and stop the war. It happened to be caught by the king. The king of Xiliang intended to familiarize him. Xiliang government asked him to follow. When this matter was solved, he happened to tour the counties of Xiliang.

"Why do you think so? The two alliances have signed an agreement, and we have completed it. Xue Guoxiang did not admit it.

"The agreement is unfair, but because Xiliang intervened, one side swallowed his anger, but Beiyuan will not let go of the opportunity to instigate separation." Yu Haoxi looked up and drank a cup of good wine and raised his eyebrows gently: "Zhaokang must have taken a fancy to the territory of the two alliances before it provoke a conflict. It is intended to make one party dissatisfied, abandon Xiliang and turn to Beiyuan and turn to Beiyuan. If the Beiyuan people send troops, they will definitely annex these two alliances together, and they will also be a step closer to Xiliang."

Xue Yaotai gave a drink: "In this way, we have not been tricked by the Beiyuan people."

The Beiyuan people were greatly created in those years, their vitality was greatly damaged, and there was civil strife and the regime was divided. At this time, the regime occupying the southwest had no absolute chance of declaring war on the two alliances at the same time, not to mention the support of Xiliang behind the two alliances.

That's why we first pull in one side, send troops into the territory of other countries, and annex them one by one, which is time-saving and labor-saving.

His Royal Highness stretched out his hand and pushed the prime minister: "Why do you have to make a mystery? Your Majesty should have planned for a long time, but the two alliances are subject to Xiliang's tribute. If they fight, it is not fair, and they will also let other vassal states avoid it. However, if the Beiyuan people invade our Xiliang vassal state, of course, Xiliang will fight back."

In this way, the two alliances can be swallowed and returned to Xiliang.

Xue Guoxiang is obviously satisfied: "Your Highness is really witty."

"Can I lead this battle?" Dajun was very attentive to poured a cup of wine for Xue: "The prime minister has to say more good words for me. After all, I have no experience in leading the army."

Dalong has been calm for nearly 30 years. Even if there is a small conflict with Beiyuan, he does not go to the situation where the princes lead the troops to fight. His Royal Highness only has the opportunity to participate in hunting, show his skills, and has never really seen war.

"Your Highness, do you have a chance of winning?" Xue Guoxiang asked with a smile.

"Although the Beiyuan soldiers are fierce, they are better at fighting in the plains. There are many mountains and forests in the two alliances. If they set up an ambush and assassination, they will defeat their elites first, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue, they will definitely win." The king is confident.

Xue Guoxiang heard that the emperor was not on the rise of the moment. Obviously, he analyzed the terrain of the two alliances, and even made a detailed plan, adding a point of satisfaction: "Your Highness is confident, and of course I am willing to recommend it." The two touched the cup happily again, and Xue Yaotai asked again, "I plan to return to Beijing in two days. I don't know what your Highness plans to do?"

According to the arrangement of the King of Xiliang, it is necessary for Haoxi to make an unannounced visit to Xiliang County and be familiar with the government affairs of various places and those intertwined aristocratic ministers. Naturally, it is necessary to be assisted by the prime minister of Xue.

"I will patrol all the way to Wangyang County." Dajun smiled gently: "To tell the truth, Haoxi wants to sneak back to Jinyang."

Xue Guoxiang frowned slightly.

"If the throne of Emperor Dalong is inherited by the current prince, it will be of no benefit to our Western Liang state. Although this may be minimal, it can't be careless. It's better to eradicate the hidden dangers."

"In my opinion, the prince is incompetent. Even if he defeats the unification, the regime will fall aside. At present, only the Duke of Wei and the King of Chu are the most powerful and have actual military power. They should not have bad relations with me, Xiliang."

"It is because the prince has no independent opinions that he is easy to be deceived. The ignorant people are particularly arrogant. If he is really a son to succeed to the throne, the Confucius family has not been completely eliminated, and there are also those literary ministers who coveted the military power, such as the Qin family, etc., they may not provoke the prince to launch a war to seize military power and weaken the two governments of Su and Chu. Potential." Yu Haoxi smiled gently: "Besides, it is difficult for the queen to calm my resentment with expectations. She must be disheartened and taste what it means to be broken before she dies."

In order to achieve this goal, he even gave up the throne of Emperor Dalong and resolutely refused to stop when it was good. He was bound to retaliate to the end.

"Minissant, after such a disturbance, the throne of Emperor Dalong is likely to fall into one of the second brother and the fourth brother. If the father finally chooses the second brother... Although he has lost his ability, he must believe in the two prefectures of Su and Chu, and there are Yu Yu to assist the government. For at least 50 years, Xiliang will maintain the friendship with Dalong. The two countries have no crime in autumn, only Slowly swallow up the large and small allies, first drive out or even cut off the northwest, and strengthen the national prestige of our Western Liang. But if Emperor Dalong's throne fell into the hands of my fourth brother..." The corners of His Royal Highness's lips slanted: "My Xiliang is great."

Xue's understanding of Dalong's internal affairs is naturally not as good as that of the emperor, and he raised his eyebrows when he heard the words.

"My fourth brother is suspicious, and Su and Chu are very powerful. If the fourth brother inherits the unification, he will definitely regard the two houses as a threat. If he does not eliminate unhappiness, it may lead to civil strife. Although Yu Xi is resourceful, he lacks greed and wildness, and is very loyal to the heavenly family. He may not be rebellious. Once he loses the opportunity, he may be secretly hidden by the fourth brother. Therefore, Dalong did not have the assistance of the king of Chu. To be precise, there is no plan to settle the country. There must be blood between the great magnates and nobles. Lao Si may not be able to grasp the overall situation. Once he is in chaos, Xiliang will have the opportunity to break through the pass and the soldiers will be on the scene.

"It seems that there is only one opponent in Your Highness's eyes, the son of the King of Chu."

"That's true." Yu Haoxi had a heavy drink: "Look at Dalong, he is the only person I admire, and I also want to compete with him. I regard him as an opponent, but I have never wanted to be his enemy. Therefore, if the second brother succeeds to the throne, he can only put his mind on Beiyuan, but compare with Yu Yu, and see if Dalong destroyed Beiyuan first. It's my Xiliang who took the lead in capturing Beidu.

"In His Highness's view, what is the chance of winning King Fu?"

This made Dajun silent for a moment and shook his head: "Lao Si is sinister. Over the years, he has also prepared a lot of dark layouts. If his father hesitates and does not take the opportunity except Lao Si first, he will let him take the lead. I know the Duke of Wei and Yu Feng very well. Without my father's holy order, they will not take the lead in attacking Lao Si. No When I went to Xiliang this time, it was Lao Si who took advantage of it that he would not treat me as an enemy in the future.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry to say that after listening to this break, I don't think Your Highness has to go this trip." Xue Yaotai suddenly said, "The son of the daughter does not sit in the hall. Your Highness has ambitions. Why should he take risks?"

"I don't know if there has been anyone in the life of the prime minister who must fight for and can't let go." The king did not answer the question.

When asked this question, his eyebrows tilted to the corners of his temples, and the light in his eyes flashed, firmly staring at Xue Guoxiang.

Of course, His Royal Highness has long heard about Xue's admiration for Princess Lanzhu, and he also knows that when he was a child, the reason why Xue Guoxiang got in touch with him, signaling that as long as he had ambitions, he would help him. One of the key reasons was that he was unforgettable for Concubine Wan.

Xue Yaotai will not marry for the sake of Princess Lanzhu, and it is not a secret in Xiliang.

He believed that Xue Yaotai's affection was far purer than his father's emperor, but what His Royal Highness couldn't figure out was why Xue Yaotai easily let go at the beginning and watched his beloved marry another country without making any retention.

And this question also stunned Xue Guoxiang and seemed to understand something. He took a deep look at the emperor: "There is only one person in my life who tries his best to achieve it."

Because it was completed, I let it go, but this truth is obviously not written in Yu Yuxi's life creed.

In late July of the ninth year of Yuanqing, Yiyang Jun witnessed the assassination of Xiliang Dajun not long ago. The Kong family, who participated in the queen's assassination of Wanfei, was destroyed by the whole family. Princess Lanzhu's grievances finally got blood. The envoy lived up to the instructions of the king of Xiliang and was finally able to return to China. Yiyangjun went to pay farewell to the emperor and was about to prepare to return.

Before that, of course, I will visit the Royal Palace of Chu and say goodbye.

The king's palace of Chu set up a family banquet to entertain Yiyangjun, but this time, there were fewer people at the banquet than last time.

Yudong's family of five had died in Huangquan. Anhui was impatient to return to the royal palace to socialize with Yiyangjun and found an excuse to avoid it. Because Yu Yu recommended Yin Yong to Mingshan Academy, Anran also went to Jizhou. At this time, the husband and wife were not in Jinyang.

However, the atmosphere at the table is not dull.

The old princess read the family letter that An Jin asked Yiyangjun to bring back and learned that her granddaughter was quite courteous in Xiliang. Everything was fine, and she naturally felt happy.

About the end of Yudong's family, Yiyangjun also heard about it in Xiliang, and Yijing wrote a letter to An Jin. Yiyangjun knew that Xiao Xie and the Yuzhou brothers did not have much affection for Anjin. At this time, he did not even ask more questions, which saved a lot of embarrasment.

However, when it comes to the reaction of the Qing clan, Yi Yangjun inevitably explained two sentences: "The family learned that the father-in-law had committed a death penalty. At first, they complained a little, but when they heard that the princess was not involved, they turned into a lot of comfort and did not dare to despise it."

Yu Dong was expelled, but An Jin had the title of princess, so he simply wrote in the name of Princess Wei on the ultimatum and suddenly became the daughter of the king of Chu. Of course, the Qing clan did not dare to despise it, and it was even more troublesome than before.

This time when Yiyangjun returned to China, the emperor gave him a lot of rewards. When he met him, he specially asked Princess Donghua. The news came back to Xiliang, and the Qing family did not dare to embarras An Jin.

However, the third prince threw his hand to Xiliang, but left two side concubines. The emperor was originally considering letting Yiyangjun take the second concubines Ning and Kong to the west Liang. Unexpectedly, the third prince had already told him that the two side concubines were all empress people. For many years, they had been used as ears and eyes by the queen. They had a bad heart for him for a long time. As soon as the emperor heard this, the emperor immediately killed this In his mind, he ordered the two side concubines to fall and became the nuns in the temple.

The next day after the family banquet of King Chu, Yiyangjun set off to return to China.

A few days later, Yijing heard that the Empress Dowager wanted Yan's daughter to be the side concubine of King Fu. Of course, it was not widely publicized, but edicted the Fu King and his wife to enter the palace and mentioned it face to face.

Yichen was pregnant. Although he was a little surprised by the sudden incident, he did not have too much rejection. He was about to thank him, but he knelt down and claimed that he had already vowed that he would never take a concubine and did not dare to take a vow.

It was Yu Yu who told the scene about this.

"What happened suddenly, I think it's a temptation." Yu Yu said.

Bingjing was not sure whether the emperor was satisfied with the result of this test for a while.

"If King Fu succeeds to the throne, there must be no one in the middle palace. He must accept the harem to balance the momentum of the Duke of Wei." Yu Wei frowned slightly.

That is to say, King Fu did not pass the first round of the test.

"I want to meet my brother-in-law."

"At this time?" Ying was surprised: "Will the dealings with the Fuwang Mansion at this time make the Holy Lord prevent it?"

"I think the emperor should hope that my brother-in-law can focus on the overall situation before spreading this matter to my ears." Yu Yu rubbed his eyebrows annoyancely: "It may not be a temptation for me. If we stand by and watch, it may make the emperor think that we intend to let King Fu rely alone to defend the Duke's Mansion."

The heart of heaven is unpredictable, and the trust between kings and ministers is sometimes far less strong than on the surface.

"Then let's go together, and I have to remind my sister." Yijing said that she was always a little uncomfortable. She didn't expect that one day, she would take the initiative to persuade others to take a concubine... What on earth is this!
