As soon as the eunuch went up to meet her, he realized that the beauty in His Royal Highness' arms was actually the young prince of Zhennan Palace, and he swallowed the sentence "This girl is..." forcefully.
It turned out to be the little prince, no wonder His Highness was so cautious, he just said, how could the master who never let women get close to him suddenly come back with a beautiful woman in his arms.
Of course, it can only be said that the little prince is too delicate. What noble woman in the capital can compare with the face of the young prince, but why does he feel that his fourth prince and the young prince are too close
"The little prince is ill, and he is going to live in the palace for a while, so hurry up and order someone to clean up the room next to me. The little prince lives there. By the way, hurry up and call the imperial doctor. wasting time."
"Yes... yes." The eunuch responded again and again, and immediately went to work under the menacing eyes of his fourth prince.
Although the room next door was cleaned every day, Qi Jinluo carried him directly to his room and put him gently on his bed.
"Live here for a few days, don't worry about anything else, do you know that the emperor will come back safely?" Seeing the child frowning slightly even when he was sleeping, Qi Jinluo stretched out his hand to smooth it gently Regardless of whether she could hear it or not, he whispered in her ear.
Probably because his words really worked, Ling Rong's frown really relaxed gradually, and he slept very peacefully.
On the third day after the army set off, the First Prince came to Prime Minister Zuo's mansion, and met some of the staff he had cultivated in private, of course, under the pretext of celebrating Prime Minister Zuo's birthday.
Sitting among a group of people, Qi Jinnan was the first to ask: "Have you guys thought about specific countermeasures in the past few days? Now that King Zhennan has gone to the frontier, this time he must not be allowed to come back with a big victory."
Someone soon suggested: "Your Highness, if you want to accomplish this, the best way is to unite with the barbarian kings, and let us provide some information to help them defeat the King of Zhennan. Of course, in order to convince them that we are sincere , we can also prepare something."
"I heard that the barbarian king always loves beauties. His Highness first selected some portraits of beauties and sent them over to attract the barbarian king's heart. After the agreement is reached, we will send them over."
When Qi Jinnan heard it, he thought it was a good idea: "This method is feasible, but can we get in touch with the barbarians now?"
"Your Highness, don't worry, I have relevant contacts, and I promise to bring His Highness's meaning to you."
Qi Jinnan nodded, but soon heard a voice suddenly interrupted his thinking.
"Your Highness, this is no different from treason. Is there something wrong with it?" A plainly dressed scholar stood up and spoke, his face was full of opposition to this method.
Although it is said that scholars are useless, his original purpose of joining the First Prince's staff was to use the First Prince to realize his wish of being unable to enter an official career, hoping to help the First Prince to do something for his country, but now he What did you see? The eldest prince he chose openly chose to betray the country here, just to compete with the fourth prince for the bloody position.
Isn't Qi State his own country? King Zhennan went out to defend his family and country, but as a royal family, he really wanted to hold back others. He couldn't understand this, and he absolutely couldn't agree with it.
As soon as these words came out, the hall that was noisy and discussing the next plan immediately quieted down. Everyone's eyes turned to the scholar, with questioning and mocking expressions on his face.
"Xie Qing, do you mean to question His Highness?"
"We are all seeking a great cause for His Highness, but you are pouring cold water here. Could it be that you are a spy sent by the Fourth Prince to investigate?"
They have long disliked Xie Qing, and always look down on their noble appearance, but if they really have the ability, they can go to the imperial examination and enter the official career by themselves, so why stay with them? The reward given by the prince, and then you want to pretend to be righteous to show how upright you are
It was also like this, they had been pushing Xie Qing very hard all this time, and now they finally found a chance to go up against him together.
Unexpectedly, some of his staff would object, Qi Jinnan was surprised for a moment, and his face quickly darkened visible to the naked eye: "Oh, if it's not right, then you can talk about how the hall can get along with the fourth prince in the shortest possible time. Competing? The Fourth Prince is against me everywhere, if I don't take the initiative to attack, why should the hall be grateful and wait for him to solve the hall?"
Xie Qing knows the cruelty of seizing an heir, but he really can't say anything about this kind of thing, but at least he knows that in the face of big right and wrong, the first thing to do is to be consistent with the outside world.
If the barbarians really invade the Central Plains in one fell swoop, it will only be the common people who will suffer. Blindly ceding land and seeking peace will not satisfy the ambitions of those people, and will only make them more rampant.
"But Your Highness, that shouldn't be a gamble with Jiangshan Sheji."
"Enough is enough, this palace doesn't want to listen to your nonsense, come and drag him out!"
As soon as Qi Jinnan gave the order, someone came in and dragged Xie Qing away. Xie Qing was a first-year scholar who had no strength to restrain a chicken. Naturally, he was no match for a few tall and strong servants, so he was quickly taken away from the house.
Of course, Qi Jinnan couldn't just have someone drag him out. Now that he knew about their plot, it was impossible for him to leave so easily.
The servant also knew his master's thoughts like the back of his hand, dragged him into the yard and beat him to death with a strong wooden stick, and then threw him out through the back door, waiting for him to fend for himself.
Just when Xie Qing thought that he was really going to wait to die in this small corner, a black shadow suddenly enveloped him, and before he fell into a coma, he only heard four words from this person.
"Take him away."
Qi Jinnan's subordinates waited quickly, and soon a letter from him, some gold, silver jewelry and portraits of beauties were sent to the frontier.
After a month and a half...
Just when the eunuch was about to use his high-pitched voice to yell to withdraw from the court, suddenly a man dressed as a soldier ran in from outside and knelt down: "Report! It's not good, news from the front line, King Zhennan and others were suddenly arrested." The barbarians attacked us unexpectedly, we were caught off guard, the prince was seriously injured in the scuffle, and his whereabouts are unknown now, it is reported that the prince was brought back by the barbarians and became a prisoner!"
The news immediately exploded in everyone's minds like firecrackers, and as the instigator, Qi Jinnan also symbolically cooperated with a shocked expression, his face was full of worries about this matter.
The emperor suddenly flew into a rage, and slapped the desk in front of him heavily: "How could this happen!"
The emperor's younger brother has always been brave and good at fighting, and he is even more bold and cautious. It is impossible for this kind of result to happen!
The soldier was frightened by the wrath of the emperor, and his voice was trembling: "Your Majesty, calm down, this time the barbarians have united all the tribes to attack us together. The number of them is much larger than before, and this time the barbarians are extraordinarily cunning. I came prepared…”
He didn't dare to mention the fact that the barbarians are nomads who are good at fighting on horseback, otherwise they would deliberately provoke Longyan's anger.
The bad news quickly spread in the capital, but the news will always be worse.
Just three days after the battle report came from the front, another piece of news shocked the court.
"The barbarians have confirmed that the king of Zhennan is indeed in their hands, and the barbarians have said that if they want the prince to live, they must send the little prince to be married! Exchange people!"
The author has something to say: Some things are delayed today, so the number of words is a bit small, everyone forgive me
