Nanyan, capital city, Guanggu.
In a side hall of the palace, the door was closed, and strange candlelight was shining all around. Sandalwood scented the entire hall. Murong Chao was dressed in a dragon robe, sitting on a big chair in the hall, motionless.
He looked at Murong Lan, who was standing in the palace in Xianbei attire, and said coldly: "I didn't expect that my aunt would make mistakes sometimes!"
Murong Lan bit her lip tightly and looked at Murong Chao's side. The tall figure in black robe was hidden in the black cloak all over her body. Behind the bronze mask, a pair of soul-stirring eyes were shining.
Gongsun Wulou was wearing a military uniform, standing behind a black robe, his face full of flattery.
Murong Lan sighed: "I am a woman after all. I can't do it. I can't do it to my lover or the biological father of my child. I made a mistake this time and I am willing to accept any punishment."
Murong Chao said bitterly: "Princess Lan, don't forget your identity. You are the princess of Dayan, you are from Xianbei, and the noble blood of the Murong family flows in your bones. Back then, the late emperor agreed that you and Liu
With Yu, I just want to use you to win him over to serve our Dayan, but now, this is obviously impossible. This Liu Yu has now surpassed Wei Lu and is the biggest threat to our Dayan. You actually
You are so soft-hearted, do you just want to wait for him to destroy my Dayan and kill my people?"
Murong Lan gritted his teeth: "Liu Yu and the late emperor had an agreement not to invade each other. So far, he has not broken this agreement. I observed Jiangbei along the way this time. Liu Yu only immigrated to farm and farm, and did not have a large amount of land.
After reorganizing the army, I think he will not attack in the near future."
The black robe smiled sinisterly: "Princess Lan, don't make excuses for yourself. You won't believe it yourself. What Liu Yu wants and what he has been doing all these years, others don't know, don't you know it too?
?It’s true that you didn’t kill him this time, but you also mentioned to him that he would fly far away with you. Now that you are back alone, doesn’t this just mean that in his so-called Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, he lost the land and the Han and Hu could not
Is the ambition to achieve both ends unshakable?"
Murong Lanfeng's eyes widened and she looked directly at the black robe: "He is now the ruler and supreme commander of the Jin State. Thousands of people rely on him. How can he leave at this time? I can't help it.
Is my Dayan, the tribesman who left me behind, back?"
Gongsun Wulou sneered: "We Xianbei people have always valued brotherhood and family ties the most. This time, in order to welcome back the Queen Mother and the Queen, Your Majesty even gave the royal band to the Later Qin Dynasty. At the same time, he also brought Yao Xing's promise that once the Jin Kingdom
If you offend me, Later Qin will definitely send out a large army to help. Princess Lan, you always look down on me, saying that I am just a villain who climbed to a high position by looking for fun for Your Majesty. But this time, the one who has made great contributions to Dayan,
But my Gongsun is on the fifth floor."
Murong Lan said coldly: "Is what you are doing a good thing? The Conquest of Ritual and Music started from the Emperor of Heaven. In order to welcome back the Queen Mother and the Empress, you actually gave away these Ritual and Music and also became a minister of the Later Qin Dynasty. I, the Great Yancheng
Taking over the vassal state of the Qiang thieves is a shame for every Yan citizen, so you still regard it as a great achievement!"
Gongsun Wulou was so choked that he couldn't speak and his face was red. Murong Chao said bitterly: "Princess Lan, you have gone too far. According to your opinion, is it wrong for me to welcome back my mother, wife and children?"
Murong Lan said sternly: "Achao, the country is the country, and the family is the family. Family affairs cannot be confused with state affairs. Your mother and wife's lives are not in danger in Hou Qin because the two countries have not become enemies. Even because of the recent changes in the situation, we
You can claim them back directly without paying any price."
Murong Chao's expression changed: "Why did Hou Qin hand it back for nothing? They are greedy by nature, how could they give us benefits for nothing?"
Murong Lan sneered and said: "Achao, don't you remember? Just a year ago, when Liu Yu went to Later Qin to return to the twelve counties of Nanyang, did he pay a big price? Wasn't Later Qin also obedient?
Has the land been handed over?"
Murong Chao curled up his lips: "That's because Yao Xing wanted to concentrate his forces against Hu Xia at that time and had to withdraw his troops as a last resort. Such a good thing will never happen again. This ritual music is exactly what Yao Xing needs now. He wants to use this
He used it to declare his authority and orthodoxy in order to reverse the panic caused by the recent consecutive defeats in the country. In the series of negotiations before this, he refused to give in at all on this point!"
Gongsun Wulou echoed: "That is, if I could not give it, would I still rush to send it out and rush to treat it as a subordinate of the country? Princess Lan, it is not good for you to say such sarcastic words."
Murong Lan said calmly: "The reason why Hou Qin gave in to Liu Yu last time was because they had a more urgent Hu Xia to deal with and had to make a compromise. But this time, we also have the same opportunity. Because Qiao Shu rebelled and established itself,
Liu Jingxuan of the Jin Army sent troops to attack Qiao Shu, and Qiao Shu asked for help from the Later Qin Dynasty. As a result, Yao Xing ordered that the Yang family of Qiu Chi send troops to help Qiao Shu defend. This move was tantamount to the Jin State turning its back and starting a war. Their enemies, except Hu Xia, were
, there is another Eastern Jin Dynasty. At this time, isn't it a good opportunity for us to take the opportunity to raise a price and force Yao Xing to release him? "
Murong Chao's expression changed: "Why don't I know about this kind of thing?"
Murong Lan looked at Heipao: "I have to ask your good Imperial Master why he didn't report such a big event to you. Heipao, don't tell me that you don't know about this. Your good disciple Tao Yuanming, isn't he?
Were you the key person who prompted Later Qin to send troops? Moreover, you were the one who personally stood in the way of Liu Jingxuan and Huang Hu, right?"
The black robe smiled slightly: "Even these things have been found out for you, Princess Lan. If you sincerely serve His Majesty and don't think about the old relationship with Liu Yu, Dayan will be strong long ago."
Murong Chao looked at the black robe in puzzlement: "Master, why did you hide this matter? If we had known about this earlier, we wouldn't have to send out the royal band, and we wouldn't have to declare ourselves a vassal."
The black robe shook his head: "Your Majesty, the Later Qin Dynasty is now in crisis. The north is not favorable to the Hu Xia war. Heavy military attacks have repeatedly failed. They have never been able to encircle them. Instead, they have been defeated one by one. The south has offended the Jin State again.
At this time, the barbarians in Liangzhou were also agitated, and even secretly communicated with Hu Xia. Yao Xing needed to declare his majesty and power to the people of the country, whether it was an act of claiming he belonged to the country or sending a band, it was just a few small details and did not need to be too big.
Care. If you don't give these, you will have to give a lot of money, food and ordnance in exchange for your family. These are more important to Dayan now."
Murong Chao said angrily: "Professing vassalage to others and sending out rituals and music, then the orthodoxy is on the side of the Later Qin Dynasty. We have been reduced to an ordinary vassal state, on the same level as those Liangzhou barbarians and even the Qiuchi Di people. This is not the case."
Doesn’t it matter?”
