It had been a few days since he had arranged his parents' funeral arrangements. Su Shaokai had been depressed all day. It was a huge blow to him that his parents chose to leave in this way. In a sense, I forced my parents to embark on the road of no return. Xi Ruoxuan came to accompany him every day and said comforting words countless times, but Su Shaokai just couldn't get out of the shadow in his heart.
Tianqing Khan was also shocked when he heard the news that Su Shaokai's parents committed suicide. What are they going to do? Are these two old guys going to use this method to fulfill his son? dream! Ben Khan immediately took measures to prevent Su Shaokai from eloping with Xi Ruoxuan.
Xi Ruoxuan was quickly controlled. She was placed under house arrest in the Great Khan's Mansion and was not allowed to go to Su Shaokai again. Of course Xi Ruoxuan quit. She made a fuss: "Dad, didn't I promise you? I won't follow Su Shaokai. Let me out quickly!"
Tian Qinghan shook his head: "You won't follow Su Shaokai? Then why do you go to him every day? Dad is doing this for your own good. Stay in the house and don't go anywhere!"
"Dad! If you lock me up like this, I will be blinded by you!"
Tianqing Khan didn't care about her, he was determined. No matter how much Xi Ruoxuan tried, he just couldn't let her leave the Great Khan's house.
When Su Shaokai saw that Xi Ruoxuan didn't come to him for two days, he thought something had happened and immediately came to the Great Khan's Mansion to find Ruoxuan. The guards of the Great Khan's Palace immediately stopped him and refused to let him in.
Su Shaokai was so anxious that he wanted to break in, but reason told him not to be reckless. After all, Xiuxuan was the daughter of Tianqing Khan, and Xiuxuan's safety should not be a problem. Maybe Tianqing Khan was afraid that Ruoxuan would get too close to me, so he put her under house arrest.
After a period of careful thinking, Su Shaokai decided to ambush around the Great Khan's Mansion. I don't believe that you can lock up Xiaoxuan for the rest of your life. Tianqing Khan was not idle either. While he placed Xi Ruoxuan under house arrest, he sent envoys to see Zhong Yehan in Dayou's capital to ask him what was going on with Zhong Langyu and why he hadn't come to pick up his princess.
Zhong Yehan was unable to answer the envoy's question because Zhong Langyu was still in Yunzhou at this time. Some time ago, Zhong Yehan asked Zhong Langyu to go to Yunzhou to investigate unsolved cases. Unexpectedly, Zhong Langyu was captured alive. If Xi Ruoxuan hadn't saved his life, Prince Yin would have died. After Zhong Langyu went back, he became more and more angry. A bandit was so rampant. He immediately wrote a memorial to his father, requesting the transfer of 30,000 elite troops from Luo City. I don't believe it. The regular army can't do anything to you guys. Guerrillas!
Zhong Yehan quickly agreed to Zhong Langyu's request, and an imperial edict arrived in Luo City. The commander-in-chief of Luocheng is now Third Master Zhong Langfu. Although this man is brave and foolhardy, he is still competent as a general. After receiving the order, he immediately asked Shu Danwei to take his 30,000 troops to Yunzhou. Zhong Langfu hates Shu Danwei very much, because Shu Danwei has a straightforward character and often contradicts Zhong Langfu. So, taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhong Langfu told him to get lost, which happened to suit Shu Danwei's wishes, and he didn't want to work in Luo City anymore.
When Shu Shanwei's 30,000 troops were in position, Zhong Langyu immediately launched a fierce attack on Fenghuang Mountain. This time, Zhong Langyu used the tactics used by the regular army to siege the city, including strong bows, crossbows, rockets and flying rocks. As expected, Yang Xibiao, the boss of Phoenix Mountain, couldn't hold on any longer. He fled to Yunyan Kingdom with the remaining defeated generals.
Zhong Langyu cleared away the banditry near Yunzhou, and then asked for credit last week. Zhong Yehan was very happy, thinking that Zhong Langyu was a talent, and was going to make him the prince. As soon as the news came out, there was a lot of discussion among civil and military officials in the court, some in favor and some against. Those who opposed were mostly the prince's remnant party, or the Lingwang party who supported the third son.
Zhong Yehan likes to listen to the opinions of his ministers during court discussions. Although he already has an opinion in his mind, he still wants to listen.
Ximen Dehao originally supported Lao San. Some time ago, his daughter's marriage to Zhong Langyu almost made him change his political stance. Later, Zhong Langyu regretted the marriage and sent Ximen Lingqian back, which the old man couldn't bear. He was determined not to support Zhong Langyu anymore but still supported Zhong Langfu. Now the opportunity finally came, Ximen Dehao first expressed his position: "Your Majesty, although Prince Yin has made great achievements in suppressing the bandits, the headless case in Yunzhou has not been solved after all. Prince Yin said that it was done by the bandits in Phoenix Mountain. This is too far-fetched. Come on! The bandits are robbing money, not heads, so Your Majesty, it is necessary to send important ministers to investigate the unsolved cases in Yunzhou, and do not let the criminals go unpunished."
Zhong Yehan nodded: "Then do you think we should postpone the establishment of the crown prince for a while?"
Ximen Dehao nodded: "The emperor is upright and prosperous, why should he establish a prince so early!"
Zhong Yehan looked at the ministers: "What do you think?"
Among the ministers, except for some minor officials who supported Prince Yin, the others were either princelings or members of the Third Master, so they remained silent. Zhong Yehan was a little anxious: "Why don't you say anything? What do you think, Han Aiqing?"
The Great Sima Han Dun was a princeling. When he saw the emperor and asked him, he said: "Your Majesty, I have always felt that a long-term prince must be established, otherwise it will be a recipe for disaster. Although the eldest prince is wrong, he is the emperor's biological flesh and blood after all. Veteran I still hope that the emperor will give the deposed prince another chance and let him come out and practice. Maybe after this incident, he will have a profound enlightenment. "
When Zhong Yehan heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head: "This matter will be discussed later. What does General Sun think?"
General Sun Dinghai, who is also a member of the prince's party, also said: "I think Master Han's words are very reasonable. No one can make mistakes without being a sage. The emperor should give the prince another chance to correct himself."
Zhong Yehan saw that none of the civil and military officials in the court spoke up for Zhong Langyu, and secretly sighed in his heart, "Old Fourth, Old Four, you have failed as a human being. Even the civil and military officials in the court did not speak up for you. What should I do?"
Zhong Yehan thought for a while: "In that case, Ximen Aiqing, you go to Yunzhou to investigate the unsolved case and get to the bottom of it. We will discuss the rest later."
"Old minister, I obey the order!"
Ximen Dehao went to Yunzhou, and not even half a month later, Tianqing Khan's envoy arrived. He asked Emperor Dayou why he let Xiruoxuan return to the grassland, which greatly embarrassed Zhong Yehan. He immediately ordered Ximen Dehao and Zhong Langyu to return to Beijing quickly, and the envoy stayed at Guanyi.
By the time Zhong Langyu and Ximen Dehao arrived in the capital, another ten days had passed. The emperor immediately summoned them. First, the emperor asked Zhong Langyu why he let Xi Ruoxuan go. Zhong Langyu finally told everything about Xi Ruoxuan being angry and leaving privately. Zhong Yehan was furious: "Why didn't you report such a big thing to me in advance?"
Zhong Langyu had no choice but to kneel down and plead guilty. Zhong Yehan said angrily: "Now that Tianqing Khan has sent an envoy to question him, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Zhong Langyu whispered: "It's Ruoxuan who wants to leave. What can I do?"
"Presumptuous!" Seeing that his son still dared to quibble, Zhong Yehan scolded, "If you hadn't married some concubine, how could Ruixuan run away!"
Zhong Langyu knew that he was in the wrong, so he quickly bowed his head and became silent.
Zhong Yehan was angry for a while and asked Ximen Dehao: "How was the investigation of the headless case?"
Ximen Dehao shook his head: "I have no clue, but according to Wei Chen's judgment, this does not seem to be the work of those people in Phoenix Mountain." Zhong Langyu cursed in his heart beside him, this old guy dared to openly oppose me, I have already Shangzhezi explained that the bandits were responsible for this incident, but the old guy insisted on saying otherwise, because he must have regretted his marriage.
Zhong Yehan thought for a while: "Let's put the matter of the headless case aside for now. Please give me an idea on how to respond to the envoy of Tianqing Khan today."
Ximen Dehao clasped his fists: "Your Majesty, since Tianqing Khan has asked about this matter, and Prince Yin was at fault in this matter, it stands to reason that Prince Yin should go to Xiuchun and personally take the princess back to the capital. However, the identity of the prince Your Excellency, it is too risky to go to Xiuchun in person, and our Dayou is a big country. The prince of a big country actually came to apologize to the daughter-in-law of a small country. This really damages the prestige of the country. After weighing the pros and cons, the old minister thought that the prince should apologize to the envoy and explain his own point of view. , and then ask Tian Qing Khan to send someone to send the princess back to the capital." The purpose of Ximen Dehao was to anger Tian Qing Khan and make him destroy the engagement, so that his daughter would have a chance. If my daughter marries Zhong Langyu again, it shouldn't be difficult for me to help her become the prince. Ximen Dehao is an old fox. How could he not see Zhong Yehan's thoughts? It's just that he was angry with Zhong Langyu, so he wanted to give him some color.
Zhong Yehan looked at Zhong Langyu: "What do you mean?"
Zhong Langyu hates Ximen Dehao so much. He originally planned to go to Xiuchun in person, but now that the old thief has said everything, it seems that nothing I can say will help, so let's just listen to his father's arrangements!
"My son, please obey your father's teachings!"
Zhong Yehan thought for a while: "Otherwise, I will ask the envoy to come here and see what the envoy says!"
Zhong Yehan summoned the envoy again, and Zhong Langyu sincerely admitted his mistake. He hoped that the envoy would convey his regrets to Tianqing Khan and hope that he would send someone to escort Ruoxuan back to Beijing.
It was difficult for the envoy to express his position, because Tianqing Khan only asked him to question him and did not say how to deal with it. Since Prince Yin admitted his mistake, he had no choice but to go back and reply.
Tian Qinghan actually didn't mean to blame him. He was just worried that Zhong Langyu would dislike Xi Ruoxuan. Since Zhong Langyu agreed to accept Xi Ruoxuan, he would just go with the flow and send some people to send his daughter there.
Just as Tianqing Khan was about to issue the order, he suddenly thought of one thing, that is Su Shaokai. According to the dispatched details, Su Shaokai did not leave Xiuchun at all, but they did not know where he went. Tianqing Khan has given a secret order to find him and arrest him. However, more than ten days have passed and there is no news from Su Shaokai, which makes Tian Qinghan very uneasy. I am about to send Ruoxuan to Dayou, will this person hinder him? No, I have to think of a foolproof plan.
Su Shaokai has also been very nervous recently. He had long heard rumors that Tian Qing Khan was going to send Xi Ruoxuan to the capital again, which made him very worried. I can't let Xiruoxuan go to the capital again. If she sees Zhong Langyu again, will her old love rekindle? I have to stop this.
Xi Ruoxuan was very annoyed. He was locked up in the Great Khan's house. Although he had food and drink, he felt very depressed. Fortunately, he had his younger brother Zhu Zhu by his side, so Xi Ruoxuan was not too lonely. When she had nothing to do, she would tell Zhu Zhu some stories. Zhu Zhu liked to listen to them and would bother Xi Ruoxuan to tell them all day long. Xi Ruoxuan tells almost all of China's history, even modern stories. The more Zhuzi listens, the more he likes to listen. The more he listens, the more he wants to listen. He always pesters Ruoxuan when nothing happens.
On this day, Xi Ruoxuan was telling the story of Journey to the West, and Tian Qing Khan suddenly appeared in front of him: "Xixuan Xuan, prepare yourself, and then take this pillar with you to Dayou's capital!"
"I'm not going!" Xi Ruoxuan played the girl's temper.
Tian Qinghan's face sank: "I don't care if you want it or not, you have to go. I know you are still thinking about that person named Su, so you'd better give up!"
"I want to see grandma, I want to see grandma!" Xi Ruoxuan used his last resort, hoping that his grandma would support him.
Tian Qinghan nodded: "Yes, you can go see your grandma now, but I tell you, it's useless. The idea of the marriage was proposed by her."
Of course Xi Ruoxuan didn't believe it, and she immediately ran to the old lady's room. After some communication, Xi Ruoxuan was completely disappointed. As expected, the idea came from the old lady. She also talked about a lot of benefits of marrying a prince, saying that she would have the opportunity to be a queen, a concubine, etc. This made Xi Ruoxuan lose After getting the last support, she knew that she had only one way to go, and that was to follow her father Khan's wishes and go to Dayou Capital.
