This time, after the king read the letter, he gritted his teeth, bristled with anger, and slapped the letter on the imperial case. The dragon's eyebrows were raised, and the dragon's eyes lit a fire.
"Yan Li is too bullying! Don't we have elite soldiers and powerful generals in our country? If I send troops, although I can't hit the imperial capital of your Dajing Kingdom, it is still easy to disturb your border and make the dogs and dogs restless."
Panting, he paced back and forth beside the imperial case, imagining Zixuan's tragic situation in his mind, and tears gushed down the corners of his eyes.
"Pity my child, married to such a distant place, has no relatives, and has been so abused, think about how to make the widow's nose sour!"
The guards played under the imperial steps: "My lord, last time you hesitated and refused to send troops. You thought it was because you were afraid that the national strength would not be as good as that of the Great Jing Kingdom. Now that we have internal support, what are you afraid of? Revenge is only today!"
The king hesitated again. Even though Dajing has an internal response, the war between the two countries is not a small matter. Once there is a war, the corpses will be buried for thousands of miles, and the lives will be ruined. He is afraid that people in the future will judge him as a mediocre lord, so he lightly starts the war for his own personal grievances.
More importantly, he was afraid that if Zi Xuan was still in Yan Li's hands in the event of a fight, would Yan Li kill Zi Xuan because of this? Throwing rats!
The king sat down, resting his hands on the gold-plated armrests, pinching his cramped temples. The grief, indignation and impulsiveness just now were poured cold water by reason.
After a while, he slowly raised his eyes and looked at the guard blankly: "Go back to Dajing Kingdom to protect your master!"
The guard didn't understand the meaning of the king's words: "King, do you want to fight, or continue to bear the humiliation?"
The king waved his hand feebly, and the ocher-yellow sleeves slid down, exposing his long and thin fingers.
He is old and can no longer afford a war. Moreover, the strength of his country is as dry and thin as his aging fingers.
"There is a saying, endure the calm for a while, and take a step back to broaden the sea and the sky. According to Yan Li's intention, take Princess Zixuan back to Tianchi Kingdom, and let the widow take good care of her."
The guard was very puzzled by the king's compromise, with tears of grief and indignation in his eyes: "Your Majesty the King..."
"Don't talk about it, you rest for one night, and you will go to Dajing Kingdom tomorrow. Tell your master, don't be with those traitors and concubines who have two hearts. Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. Do you understand? "
The guard gritted his teeth, sighed, and turned around to cross the high threshold.
Suddenly, a woman's voice of grief and anger came from the corridor outside the hall.
"King, do you really want to continue to endure such humiliation?"
Like a gust of wind, a graceful middle-aged woman in a Luan robe and a phoenix crown rolled in from outside the door.
Because of the good maintenance, her complexion is fair and ruddy, the tip of her nose is translucent and translucent, and her skin can be broken by blowing bombs. However, from the corners of her eyes and some lines on the corners of her mouth, it can still be seen that she is more than forty years old.
Her name is Li Ying, and she is Li Hai's aunt. When she was young, in order to strengthen the relationship between the two countries, Li Hai's father married Li Ying to Tianchi Kingdom, and now she is the queen of Tianchi Kingdom. She was in Tianchi country, but her heart was in Dajing country. When she received the news that the Li dynasty had been taken away by Yan Li, she was dressed in plain clothes and stood on top of the imperial palace, looking to the south, crying into tears.
Since then, she has been thinking of taking revenge on Yan Li and Rong Changan all the time.
When Zixuan married to Dajing Country, she was the one who opposed it the most. Now because of Zixuan's matter, Tianchi Kingdom secretly hated Dajing Kingdom, and Li Ying saw a chance to take revenge on Yan Li. This opportunity is so rare, how could she forget it!
The king saw in a blink of an eye that it was the queen, so he stood up and went down the imperial steps to meet her.
After all, Li Ying was the daughter of the monarch of the previous kingdom. Even though her nephew had lost the kingdom, the aura of dignity on her body was not lost because of this. The king still treats her with respect.
"Queen, why do you..."
Behind the queen, the king also saw his younger brother, the prince's son who was the special envoy in Dajing Kingdom. The king was a little worried about the younger brother of the prince, because the old king liked this younger brother very much at the beginning, but because of the twisted eldest son system, the old king had to pass the throne to the current king.
The prince lost his throne and was depressed. He often said some presumptuous words at some banquets, which made the king even more upset. Moreover, the prince actively bribed the dead, and almost all the people around him were treacherous and cunning people. Therefore, when he saw the prince, the king felt like a thorn in his back, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Brother Wang, are you here too?"
The prince's face was full of purple anger: "If I don't come, brother Wang, you will humiliate our Tianchi country!"
The king was taken aback: "How did the widow humiliate the people of the country?"
With his hands scissored behind his back, the prince stood proudly in front of the king, showing no humility.
"Hmph, Yan Li made Zixuan go crazy, and now he wants to send Zixuan back. Isn't this an insult to our Tianchi country? Such a shameful humiliation, I thought Brother Wang would immediately send troops to the border to kill him Thousands of people took away several cities and humiliated him with snow. Unexpectedly, brother Wang did nothing. I am so disappointed and the people are so disappointed!"
The prince's words made the king lose all face. He couldn't help coughing twice, and looked at the prince seriously: "My brother, this is the attitude you should have when talking to the widow? Don't forget, the widow is now the king, you are just a Prince."
In a word, the choking made the prince dizzy and his complexion darkened. If the king arrests him for a crime of disrespect, and puts him in a dungeon to face his mistakes, there is nothing he can do, because after all, he made the mistake first, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior.
After falling behind, he just stomped his feet angrily:
"Humph!"
The king thought to himself: You don't take me so seriously now, if you wait until your wings are full, will it be my turn to live in this palace
The queen was afraid that the king would get angry with the prince, so she made a horizontal line in the middle, and said coquettishly, "King, what my brother said just now was a little too aggressive. I hope you think his original intention is for the honor of the country, so don't pursue him for the crime of offense. Let's talk , After all, he is the prince and your own younger brother. It is normal for younger brothers and older brothers to quarrel occasionally. I hope the king will rest his anger."
The king obeyed the queen's words, so he flung his sleeves and snorted: "If the queen didn't speak for you, the widow will put you in the sky prison, reflect on yourself!"
The queen cast a wink at the prince and signaled him not to speak too excitedly. Then the corner of the queen's mouth curled up into a sweet smile, and she helped the king to sit back in the royal case.
"King, although the prince's words are radical, they are not unreasonable. Yan Li, relying on the strength of the Great Jing Kingdom, is defiant and can do whatever he wants, completely disregarding the honor of our small country. Think about it, the king, if the people of the country know that Yan Li Humiliated our princess and king so much, but the king is indifferent, what will they think? They will definitely think, king, you are too... "
The queen paused intentionally to attract the king's attention. She searched for the appropriate words in her stomach so as not to arouse the king's strong reaction, "Too cowardly! Do you think what the concubine said is right?"
