Han Yunxi was in a happy mood, and followed Long Feiye to the Furong Courtyard.
Long Feiye was very quiet along the way, and the two of them walked to the fork in the garden one after the other. To the right was the long corridor leading to the bedroom, and to the left was the path leading to the Yunxian Pavilion.
Han Yunxi always felt that this big ice cube should have something to say about Concubine Yi just now. She faintly wondered if Long Feiye and Emperor Tianhui had a fierce quarrel because of their marriage, so she went to jail Emperor Tianhui insisted on the matter, forcing Long Feiye to take out the privilege token
Otherwise, even though Emperor Tianhui had the intention of killing her, without any evidence, he wouldn't have given Long Feiye no chance at all, would he
Seeing that there was a fork in the road, Han Yunxi walked more and more slowly, but Long Feiye didn't say anything, didn't stop, and turned right.
Well, she really thought too much, seeing Long Feiye's back blurred in the dark corridor, Han Yunxi obediently went back to her Yunxian Pavilion.
Finally home!
Under Zhao's mother's care and care, Han Yunxi washed away her exhaustion and was well fed. As soon as she went to the attic, she immediately saw the locked windows.
Han Yunxi suddenly smirked, and no one was watching. I don't know why she was embarrassed? She coughed a few times, stroked her bangs, and smoothed her long hair. After various small movements, she finally walked over, unlocked the lock and opened the window neatly!
As soon as the window was opened, the night broke in, and the brightly lit palace not far away was particularly conspicuous in the dark night, but it was also very mysterious.
Han Yunxi lay lazily on the window sill, propping her head on one hand, watching, unconsciously fascinated.
Long Feiye, you saved me with a privilege order, what the hell is...why
At this time, Long Feiye was taking a bath in the hot spring pool in the bedroom.
He was leaning against the edge of the pool, with three thousand black hair scattered freely, his slender and refined arms stretched out and landed on the shore, his bronzed chest was well-textured, and his figure was so good that it spurted blood, making it impossible for people to imagine the half underwater body.
He raised his head, even though his eyes were closed, he still exuded the arrogance of a king looking at the world. He seemed to be thinking about something. As for what he was thinking about, there was no way of knowing...
The next day, Princess Changping went to the funeral. As for the truth about the death of the princess, it was not revealed. It was only announced that the princess contracted a serious disease and died.
After all, disclosing the truth would embarrass the royal family too much, and the impact would not be good.
Han Yunxi and Long Feiye attended the funeral together. At the funeral, Han Yunxi clearly felt the Queen Mother's hostility.
Although Han Yunxi is not the murderer, she is not surprised by this hostility. Even though she was pointed out by the queen mother to Long Feiye, she has no heart to be loyal to the queen mother. There are no two sides.
On the contrary, Emperor Tianhui, apart from his heavy face and silence, didn't show much expression. The emperor, after all, is the emperor.
For several days in a row, Han Yunxi was resting at the mansion. Concubine Yi didn't bother her because of Princess Rong Le's affairs. The news of the New Year's Eve family banquet did not spread, and Princess Rong Le's marriage seemed to be over like this.
However, Han Yunxi soon realized that she was thinking too much.
During the Lantern Festival on the 15th, bad news came from the northwestern border of Tianning. The emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty transferred one-third of the troops stationed on the Santu battlefield!
The three kingdoms of Yunkong Continent are Tianning Kingdom, Xizhou Kingdom and Beili Kingdom. The three kingdoms border each other. To the north of Tianning is Beili, and to the west is Xizhou. , that is, at the junction of the Three Kingdoms, there is a battlefield, which is the Santu battlefield.
The Santu battlefield is neither big nor small. It is about the size of three cities. There are no mountains, but flat land and hills.
It is precisely because of the dispute over the right of ownership that no country can control it, so that place has become a three-way zone, where there is no monarch and no kingly law.
When there is no war, it is full of all kinds of dark activities, the fist is the king's law, and the strong one is the king.
All three countries built cities and garrisoned troops on the edge of the three-way battlefield, strictly controlled all exchanges at the border, and defended against wars that might break out at any time. Unfortunately, in the border defenses of the three countries, Tianning suffered a great loss from the terrain.
Beili's border is the most easily defended and difficult to attack "Three Mountain Pass". It is basically impossible to cross the three-way land and capture the border of Beili. And the border of the Western Zhou Dynasty was also a mountainous area. Although the terrain was not as good as that of the Northern Li Kingdom, it was not easy to attack the border, but the border of the Tianning Kingdom was flat.
Here, it can be said that among all the borders of Tianning Kingdom, it is the most difficult to defend and the weakest place. Although with the efforts of successive kings of Tianning Kingdom, a flat Great Wall "Nandu Great Wall" was built here, but in real war, this mere city wall is no match for Bei Li's army of tigers and wolves!
Tianning and the Western Zhou Dynasty formed a good relationship, and the alliance of in-laws was to use the military strength of the Western Zhou Dynasty to jointly defend against the invasion of the Northern Calendar.
Now the emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty actually withdrew one-third of the troops stationed on the three-way battlefield, and he made this decision not long after Princess Rong Le returned to China. What does this move mean
This is the threat of eating fruit!
Emperor Tianhui threw the booklet out viciously, and several ministers in the imperial study immediately knelt down, including General Mu and Mu Qingwu.
"Damn! It's really hateful!"
Emperor Tianhui's temper was violent, and he had planned well at first. As soon as the matter of getting married after the year was settled, he immediately proposed to meet with the Emperor of Western Zhou Dynasty to discuss military cooperation on the three-way border. Take into account the two countries and make long-term plans.
But who would have thought that such a sad news came before the years had passed!
War is the best way to test the comprehensive strength of a country.
Since Emperor Tianhui succeeded to the throne for more than ten years, the situation in the Three Kingdoms has been relatively stable. Although there have been a few battles, they are not considered major battles. Therefore, the problems of Tianning Kingdom's treasury deficit and backward military equipment have not yet become apparent.
What Emperor Tianhui was most afraid of was a big battle. To be precise, what he was most afraid of was accidents on the Santu battlefield.
Bei Li had always been eyeing Tianning Kingdom covetously, ready to move, and always wanted to break through the three-way battlefield and break a hole in the defense line of Tianning Kingdom's northern border. Once Emperor Beili got the news, could he easily miss this great opportunity? Can you do nothing
In the silence, Mu Qingwu clasped his hands and said seriously, "Your Majesty, the Western Zhou Dynasty has been deceiving people too much! The last general is willing to rush to the three-way battlefield immediately, dispatch troops and food, and swear to defend the frontier to the death!"
Mu Qingwu has always had some opinions on the defensive strategy of the Santu battlefield. Tianning relies too much on the Western Zhou Dynasty, and in the end he will only be reduced to a situation where he is controlled by others. The most fundamental thing is that he has a strong army.
However, Mu Qingwu was too young after all, how could he understand Emperor Tianhui's real worries? Even an old general might not understand Emperor Tianhui's bottom line!
Emperor Tianhui glanced at Mu Qingwu, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes. After a long time, he made everyone retreat.
"Your Majesty, this move of the Western Zhou Dynasty is clearly..."
Mu Qingwu wanted to speak up, but Emperor Tianhui interrupted him angrily, "Get out!"
Mu Qingwu didn't give up, but General Mu gave him a hard look and pulled him away.
"Father, if the emperor compromises this time, will he get it in the future? Besides, the King of Qin may not agree! If this matter gets out, where will the King of Qin's face be put? Where is the dignity of my Tianning Kingdom?"
Mu Qingwu was extremely angry. He knew that the emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty did this for the sake of the marriage, and for Princess Rongle's own selfishness. Did the Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty regard the long-term cooperation between the two countries as a trifling matter
Or, the Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty had other ideas on the cooperation between the two countries, and this time it was just an excuse
Mu Qingwu didn't have time to think about so much, these were the scope of consideration for those advisers, he only knew that if the emperor compromised this time, he would undoubtedly show weakness to the Western Zhou Dynasty!
"Hush! Enough is enough!" The general frowned, pulled Mu Qingwu away from the imperial study, and then said, "Qingwu, you must remember your duty as a courtier! Also, in the future, don't presuppose the king of Qin before the emperor." !"
Everyone knows that the emperor not only attaches great importance to King Qin, but also is wary of King Qin. The General's House holds the military power, and the last thing he can do is to get too close to King Qin.
"Father, why did you even..."
Before Mu Qingwu finished speaking, he suddenly stopped, and saw His Highness King Qin coming from the side and walking towards the imperial study.
Mu Qingwu was about to go there, but General Mu said, "The emperor has already made a decision in his heart, it's useless to persuade, go back!"
After finishing speaking, he dragged Mu Qingwu away by force.
Long Feiye glanced at the Mu family and his son who were tugging not far away, knowing everything, he walked into the imperial study with a blank expression.
In the imperial study room, the booklet delivered by Bian Bian was still lying on the ground, and Emperor Tianhui faced the territory map on the wall, with his hands behind his back and his fingers intertwined.
Long Feiye picked up the memorial, glanced at it, threw it on the table casually, and said calmly, "Brother Huang urgently summoned my younger brother, what's the matter?"
"Look at the notebook." Emperor Tianhui said coldly.
"I see." Long Feiye replied immediately.
"What do you think?" Emperor Tianhui asked.
"Brother Huang should consult with General Mu and the Ministry of War for important military affairs. I have never understood these matters." Long Feiye was still very calm.
However, Emperor Tianhui suddenly smiled, "That's right, why did I forget that the King of Qin has never participated in military affairs."
"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first." Long Feiye really dared to say it.
But who knew, Emperor Tianhui said indifferently, "Eunuch Xue, declare the decree!"
Proclamation
This sentence is so familiar, as early as half a year ago, in the imperial study, just the two of them, Emperor Tianhui also asked Eunuch Xue to read out the imperial decree, and chose a wedding date for him to marry Han Yunxi.
Today, history is repeating itself.
Eunuch Xue stepped out timidly, and read out a volume of imperial decree. This time, Emperor Tianhui wanted Long Feiye to marry Princess Rongle of the Western Zhou Dynasty. , rushed to the Western Zhou Dynasty to ask for marriage!
The emperor's order cannot be disobeyed, and the imperial decree is even more irresistible.
He is a king after all, and he is a minister after all.
Resisting the decree is a heinous crime!
After Eunuch Xue finished reading, Emperor Tianhui slowly turned around and looked at Long Feiye who was kneeling on one knee, with a mocking smile on his lips.
Long Feiye, since you don't eat fine wine when toasting, don't blame me for being merciless. You had no choice when you married Han Yunxi back then, and you have no choice this time either!
"King Qin, have you not received the decree yet?" Emperor Tianhui asked with great interest.
But who knew, Long Feiye stood up and said coldly, "Brother Emperor, I can't do it!"
If marrying Han Yunxi is a compromise, then he is only willing to compromise once in his life!
