Chapter 858: Banquet to King Sun

Views:

Many people think that it should be King An, because he is the prince of Hongyousi, and he is the most appropriate person to go.

However, this matter always reveals a weird atmosphere. This is naturally because the relationship between Xianbei and Beitang gradually broke down. Although it is said that Xianbei country has been replaced by Suguo, the name of the country can be changed, but the people are still Xianbei people.

Chu Shoufu saw the clues, and gradually understood why the emperor had to snub the prince first and let him guilty and restrain his feet. Because the prince was a guilty body, he could easily refuse the invitation of Su Guo.

The foresight of Emperor Ming Yuan should be based on the accuracy and precision of intelligence, and the accuracy and precision of intelligence was also based on Hong Lie's early planning. After several months of planning, it would definitely not be a celebration.

Hong Ye Gongzi and Hong Liexing had originally set up spies in the Northern Tang Dynasty, so this scene must be fake and real. At the beginning, the prince was forced to make trouble in the hall. The emperor was self-defeating his reputation to protect the prince. If you discuss with the prince in advance Well, the prince can't do this scene.

Chu Shoufu was also moved by this conspiracy and sacrifice.

Sure enough, the emperor summoned cabinet ministers to discuss the matter, and the candidates elected, the voices of Prince An and Prince Rui were the highest.

Emperor Ming Yuan didn't make a decision, and after retreating, he left Chu Shoufu and Calm Yan in the royal study room.

"Two Aiqings, what are your opinions?" Emperor Ming Yuan looked at the list, and both of them recommended King An.

Calmly said: "The emperor, the ministers recommended King An, based on the two months of unannounced investigations, Xianbei's dark lines have gradually surfaced, and they have always been in contact with King An, no matter what the big tricks that Suguo held this time. , They will not easily hurt King An, because we did not find the hidden line, they thought that they had not been exposed, and there will be more time to use King An in the future."

"Where is Shoufu?" Ming Yuan Emperor looked at Chu Shoufu and asked.

Chu Shoufu said: "The minister agrees with Lord Leng's statement that no matter what the purpose of Su Guo this time is, it is definitely not as simple as a celebration. Prince Rui is suitable. Prince Kerui is not very clear about the situation and is easily controlled by others. It's just that Wang An and Xianbei Hongye are in collusion. If Wang An is dispatched this time, they will be able to discuss important matters in a fair way. It is also a hidden danger for me in the Northern Tang Dynasty."

Emperor Ming Yuan was full of anger in his eyes, "No matter what he is planning, when he returns from Su Guo, he will seize the power and release it back to the fief, order people to closely monitor and deploy garrisons around.

Chu Shoufu bowed, "Then do everything according to the emperor's instructions."

Calmly said: "The emperor, there is another thing that worries you, that is, if the relationship between the two countries breaks down this time, or if the two countries meet each other, but our weapons have not been manufactured yet, Hong Liexing of Suguo has already obtained the military map. If their weapons are once manufactured, it will be a great threat to our Northern Tang Dynasty. Although we have formed an alliance with Da Zhou, Da Zhou now has the generals and his wife rushing to the battlefield separately to deal with the war, but we have no arrangements. "

Emperor Ming Yuan smiled faintly, "You don’t have to worry about the close ties with Da Zhou. Do you really think that the prince will just keep his feet in the mansion these days? His people have been out for activities a long time ago, and the munitions and supplies Leng Si Ye had three months ago. Start preparing."

Chu Shoufu was startled, "Really? Isn't the prince in the mansion all the time? I have done these things..." He didn't even know? Can you hide it from him? This time Chu Shoufu really felt that he was old and could not see through the emperor or the prince.

"I asked him to withhold his foot and leave Jingzhao Mansion, so that he could get out and do all these things. Between father and son, needless to say, he knows that the crisis is approaching. After all, he is already a mature prince. However, The most worrying thing right now is the soldier map. I don’t know if the people he sent out have destroyed the soldier map, and there is no new soldier map to send in Dazhou. If there is a soldier map, it will be what we have now in Northern Tang Dynasty. With financial resources and human resources, a batch can be produced in two months, so why are Su Guo and Bei Mo scared?"

Chu Shoufu was slightly startled, what is the financial resources of the Northern Tang Dynasty? Is he confused recently? This year’s tax revenue does not seem to be much better than last year. Could it be that he realized this point afterwards, and didn't even know that the junior high school suddenly added new income

"The emperor, this financial resource... where do you start?" Chu Shoufu asked cautiously, he really didn't remember it.

Emperor Ming Yuan glanced at him and said as steady as Mount Tai: "I have a son-in-law." A son-in-law of a wealthy country.

"Oh..." Chu Shoufu cast a glance at Qin Yan, which is shameless!

"In the current national crisis, naturally watch and help each other!" Ming Yuan emperor saw the deep meaning contained in the two people's oh, dissatisfied with authenticity.

"Oh… "

"Retreat!" Emperor Ming Yuan was slightly annoyed.

King An’s Mansion hosted a banquet for King An’s family today. It was said that it was hospitality, but in fact it was a crime. The two brothers had a private grievance. Later, King An was angry with King An for a long time because of the third child. Although King Sun did not bear any grudges, However, this breath has been lingering in my heart for a long time.

The reason for King An’s banquet is also very simple, to turn fighting into jade, after all, the two are now officials with the yamen, meeting day and night, if unpleasant, it will affect official business.

Wang Sun was a business man, and felt that what he said made sense, so he agreed to take Concubine Sun to the banquet.

During the dinner, Wang An always persuaded the wine to make amends, saying that he was a bastard. He shouldn't have treated the third child in this way and his family was destroyed. He even said that when the third child couldn't chase him and beat him, he didn't fight back because he knew he deserved the crime.

King Sun saw that he was sincere and sincere, and he was the elder brother, so he couldn't bear such hatred anymore, so he said: "It's all over, don't mention it again, brothers, no overnight hatred, you will confess your mistakes with him when the third child comes back. I believe the third child will never blame you again."

King An snorted, and toasted again, so that King Sun was drunk seven or eighth, and then said: "For the celebration of the country, my father must have sent me. But, you know, second brother, I can’t go, if I go. After that, the prince’s edge was taken away. Now the prince and I have finally calmed down a bit. If we fight again because of this, it is really not what I wanted."

King Sun naturally knew about this, and said: "The fifth child is now banned. He can't go. You don't mean that you have taken his edge. Everything must be arranged by the emperor."

Wang An sighed, "That’s how you say it, you can’t hold back those stubborn people, brother, you don’t know, after all, I have a criminal record, even if the fifth child knows that I have no ambitions, but the people around him don’t know. , This matter will be infinitely magnified. If the fifth child has a rift with me, then I really can’t clean it.”

King Sun drank a little dizzy. Hearing Wang An's words, he felt very reasonable and said, "In this way, you are indeed inappropriate."

"Yes, in fact, I really want to go. As for diplomacy, we are in charge of Hongyu Temple. It is reasonable and reasonable for me to go there. I can also get to know the customs of the country by the way, or do something to change the Xianbei people’s view of Beitang. It’s a pity. For this reason, it’s not good for me to go. Second brother, why don’t you go. I will recommend myself to your temple tomorrow morning, and my minister will try my best to agree!"

"Okay!" Concubine Sun was listening, hearing King An's proposal, she suddenly agreed, and touched King Sun's arm with her elbow, asking him to agree.
