Chapter five hundred and sixty seventh people do not stay forced to stay
Xue Qian's speech made the scene very confrontation.∈♀ Xue Qian said this, which was equivalent to expelling Xiao Zhan. Whose weapon belongs to is no longer an important question at the moment. What is important is how the Wei Dynasty should prepare to treat Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan is the eldest princess of the Southern Dynasty. After all, he has his own connections and status in the court and the country, and many people around him offer advice. In places like the Wei Dynasty, she can only rely on herself. Xue Qian and others are just accompanying her. After all, these people are not his own, and most of them are her mother, Empress Dowager He and Xie Rumo.
"Your Highness, since your people insist on this matter, I won't say much." Han Jian broke the deadlock at this time and said, "I won't investigate this matter for now. What should I say after the banquet is over?"
Xiao Zhan took out the dagger and wanted to leave with excuses. Now she knew very well that her purpose had been seen through the Wei Dynasty, and this move was not good. It was not good for her to create a conflict, but she could only sigh in her heart, nodded helplessly, and sat down in her seat again.
Seeing Xiao Zhan sit down, the rest of the Southern Dynasties officials who followed Xiao Zhan sit down one by one, and the whole banquet became normal. The eunuchs and palace maids began to serve food and drinks. Xiao Zhan was thinking hard and accidentally looked at Han Jian, but saw Han Jian looking at her with a smile, which made her angry. Now it was obvious that the Wei Dynasty people wanted to detain her, and she had no other choice. Just like when the Wei Dynasty people sent Yang Xi to the Southern Dynasties, she was obviously regarded as a victim when she came to the Wei Dynasty this time. She was still a little aware of this.
"The princess came from afar. I would like to represent my Majesty and all the civil and military officials of our dynasty. I would like to respect the princess for a cup."
After everyone sat down, the wine and food were served. Han Jian got up and picked up the wine glass and said with a smile.
Although the host of this banquet was Yang Rui. Yang Rui was the emperor after all, and the emperor could toast his subjects, but he could not to his enemies. However, Han Jian and Xiao Zhan were of the same title, and they could toast each other. Therefore, Han Jian came out toast for the opening ceremony out of etiquette.
Xiao Zhan didn't say anything, and got up with the wine glass. He first made a toast, then covered his face with his sleeves and drank a glass of wine. But Han Jian didn't know whether she had drunk it or poured the wine directly into the sleeves. Anyway, the wine was not poisonous, and Han Jian would not want to use such despicable means to murder Xiao Zhan. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seemed that this woman was still too careful.
After three rounds of drinking, Xiao Zhan stopped picking up the wine glass. However, the officials of the Southern Dynasty behind Xiao Zhan seemed very relaxed, and Han Jian stepped forward to toast. They all seemed to be very flattered. Han Jian went up to toast one by one, but he also showed his characteristic of not getting drunk for a thousand cups. After drinking in one circle, Han Jian drank dozens of cups, but it seemed that nothing was the same. This also puzzled Xiao Zhan. He had learned a lot about the investigation of the East King before, but no one seemed to mention the alcohol level of the East King. It just happened that he had heard that the East King had been drunk. That is to say, the East King is too soon now?
"Princess, for some reason, when you meet the princess, you always feel familiar." Han Jian's face was slightly flushed, as if he was drunk, and he said with a smile. "But the princess is delicate and expensive. When I came to my court for the first time, it seems that if I want to meet, I can only meet in my dreams. Haha, come. I'll give you another cup of the princess."
As he said that, Han Jian walked forward with a wine glass, and his body was covered in alcohol like a prodigal son. Xiao Zhan couldn't help but frown when he saw it.
Although Han Jian is still very young, he is also a powerful hero in the north. Xiao Zhan knows very well that there is no reason to despise the Eastern King now, but when she sees Han Jian's frivolous appearance, she still despises him a little. She thought she was just an ordinary man.
"Your Majesty, King Dong." Xiao Zhan stood up, but did not pick up the wine glass, and said, "I have been fortunate to come to Luoyang once, but this Wenwu Palace has not been here for the first time."
Han Jian smiled, and he didn't expect Xiao Zhan to admit that he had been here.
Last time Xiao Zhan came, he did not have the majesty and ability he is now, but he looked like an impulsive girl. But he hadn't seen him for only two years, and Xiao Zhan was already like a marshal who commanded the four directions.
"That's right." Han Jian said, "I thought I was kind to the princess before, but now when I think about it, I actually met her. Ha, that's considered a fate. If someone is destined to have a drink, what do the princess think?"
The more Han Jian asked Xiao Zhan to drink, the more Xiao Zhan felt that there must be something wrong with the wine. This was her instinctive reaction, and she thought that she could not drink any of the wine.
"I can't bear to drink. I'm grateful for the good intentions of the Eastern King." Xiao Zhan said.
At this time, Yang Rui, who was sitting in the main seat, smiled and said, "King Dong, since Princess Yongdan doesn't want to drink, you don't have to force it."
"Your Majesty is very much." Han Jian saluted Yang Rui respectfully and returned to his seat. As soon as he sat down, Han Jian suddenly seemed to remember something, looked up at Xiao Zhan and asked, "Your Highness, you have a friend from below who went to the Southern Dynasty and haven't heard from him for a long time. I don't know what he is now? Have you ever seen the princess?"
Xiao Zhan frowned slightly, and she immediately realized that the person Han Jian was talking about was Sima Yi.
Regarding Sima Yi, Xiao Zhan has some good feelings for good things. After all, this person is considered King Hui's right-hand man. King Hui is now in the Southern Dynasty court, but he can still maintain a relatively neutral attitude. In the mediation of all parties, it is also because Sima Yi is by his side. Before, King Hui actually mentioned in front of her that someone wanted to propose marriage to her, but Xiao Zhan guessed that Sima Yi was interested in her. Although Xiao Zhan's favor for Sima Yi has not yet been sublimated to the point of mutual attraction, she does not deny that being appreciated is not a bad thing.
"I don't understand what the Eastern King said." Xiao Zhan naturally had to pretend to be confused at this time.
Xiao Zhan originally did not believe that Han Jian had no contact with Sima Yi, but seeing that Sima Yi had proposed suggestions for King Hui in the Southern Dynasties and did not come back even if he had the opportunity to return to the north, it also means that Sima Yi had an external heart. Under this situation, the possibility of the Eastern King and Sima Yi being in contact with each other was not high. This means that there seemed to be no connection between King Hui and the Northern Dynasties. Originally, Sima Yi was criticized by the Southern Dynasties as the counselor of King Hui, that is, King Hui might have had unclear connections with the Northern Dynasties because of Sima Yi's transit.
Han Jian sighed, "I miss my friend. I accompanied me on the southward mission to the prince, but I didn't expect that I would go and never return. Now I feel sad. If the princess can see him in the future, she will help him say hello to him. If there is a chance, I hope I can see him again."
Xiao Zhanxin said, was this asking her to convey the meaning of "threat" on her behalf? Han Jian felt that Sima Ya's betrayal was unacceptable and was not ready to let Sima Ya go and let Sima Ya go and teach her a lesson with her ignorant Sima Ya?
Xiao Zhan always thought that Sima Jie was very strange. He learned from a lot of information before that he was a wild and unruly person. But after he arrived in the Southern Dynasties, Sima Jie changed his temperament. Perhaps he was detained as a cage bird for a long time and his mood changed. But she still couldn't understand why such a person from the Northern Dynasty who looked very inconspicuous, even without an official position. He could be appreciated by his uncle, King Hui. The King of Dong actually regarded him as a friend before. At this time, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but become more curious about Sima Jie.
"Sure." Xiao Zhan said indifferently.
Han Jian turned to Yang Rui and asked, "Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, it will be almost two years since the prince went to the Southern Dynasty?"
"Yeah." Yang Rui nodded, with a little helpless look in his expression.
Yang Xi has a gentle temperament. In addition, she is very respectful and obedient to her on weekdays, which makes Yang Xi always feel that this sixth brother is the best candidate to inherit the throne in the future. Only such a benevolent monarch may be able to make the Wei Dynasty safe for a long time. However, he did not expect that because of his wrong decision, Yang Xi was trapped in the enemy camp for nearly two years.
Han Jian turned his head to look at Xiao Zhan again and said, "I wonder if Your Highness Princess has ever seen my prince?"
Xiao Zhan said that she finally came to the main topic. She had doubted the purpose of this banquet before. Now she heard Han Jian mention Yang Xi. She said that it was probably the people of the Northern Dynasty who wanted to use her in exchange to exchange Yang Xi. Xiao Zhan looked down on her in his heart. If her position in the eyes of those rulers in the Southern Dynasty was as important as Yang Xi, she would not have sent her to serve as an envoy. Even if the Wei Dynasty detained her, she would not have been able to negotiate with the people of the Southern Dynasty as a condition of exchange. There would be no result. She was destined to be the one who was sacrificed.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan couldn't help feeling a little sad about his future situation.
"I met at the banquet that day." Xiao Zhan said.
Han Jian thought about it and said that the banquet that Xiao Zhan mentioned should not be held in the Qi Dynasty, but in this place two years ago, which is the banquet at the Wenwu Palace of the Wei Dynasty. Han Jian nodded and said, "As long as the prince of my dynasty has no worries about his life, it is good. What does the princess think?"
Xiao Zhan didn't say anything. What Han Jian said now seemed to be reminding her in secret, as if she was asking her to be her hostage in Luoyang, so she deliberately pretended not to hear it.
Han Jian said: "After all, this matter has lost the harmony between the two countries. Now, it is time for the Wei Dynasty and the Qi Dynasty to be united. How can a dispute arise because of a small matter? The princess has been in Luoyang for a while. I wonder what she thinks about the current situation of our dynasty?"
After listening for a long time, Xiao Zhan still didn't understand what Han Jian was going to say. He was so twitching around, and finally asked her what she thought. Xiao Zhan said: "The Northern Dynasty people are simple and simple, probably so. Does the Eastern King have anything else to ask?"
Han Jian sighed, "Although the customs of the people are simple, our dynasty is now in chaos and the people are displaced. Now it is peaceful, but we can't even eat. Now the two dynasties are so friendly, why not... the Southern Dynasties borrow some food to deal with the emergency for our dynasty people? "
Xiao Zhan was really surprised when he heard this proposal. She had seen someone with thick skin, but she had never seen someone with such thick skin.
What Han Jian said before was all nonsense. What is important behind the relationship, and you have to borrow food from Qi Chao?
"Dongwang, if I remember correctly, last time... the food from our dynasty borrowed from us seems to have not been returned yet." Xiao Zhan said directly.
Han Jian smiled and said, "It's true? Look at my brain, this may be true."
When Xiao Zhan heard Han Jian say "maybe", he knew that the Eastern King was intentional. Anyway, she made up her mind to have nothing else and have one to die. Anyway, she was also prepared to sacrifice for the country. Now it is impossible for the Northern Dynasties to get any benefits from her.
"But Your Highness... When it comes to debt, it's not that my court doesn't want to pay it back, but now in this situation, I have not even had my meal, so how can I pay it back? Why don't you borrow a little more to deal with it for me? After this period, I will return it together?" Han Jian added with a smile.
Xiao Zhan said angrily: "What's the reason for you, Dongwang? There are loans and repayments. This is natural. Now that the old debt has not been cleared, we have to fill in the new debt. What kind of debt does Dongwang repay and not suppress his body? Is it because he wants to cheat us?"
Han Jian waved his hand and said, "Princess, please calm down. I don't mean that. People are the most productive productivity. Only with people can we create more value, right? Now, the people are already homeless. Even if there are still living people, they will not be able to produce. If there is no food to survive the famine and there will be more people dead, then the entire Central Plains will be vast and uninhabited. I am afraid that no one will pay it back."
Xiao Zhan sneered: "The King of Eastern said so alarmist. After all, he just wanted to borrow food again, right?"
"That's right, it's right. The princess is really clear at a glance." Han Jian said with a smile.
Xiao Zhan shook his head and said, "This time I came here, but I came here on the order of Your Majesty to have a good visit. As for the matter of borrowing food, I am afraid that the King of the East will give me a prophet to see if my Majesty agrees!"
"Your Majesty of the Dynasty? It seems... hasn't you taken power yet?" Han Jian hesitated.
"You!" Xiao Zhan glared at Han Jian angrily.
Originally, she said that the little emperor of the Qi Dynasty was also her younger brother, just to refuse the matter of borrowing food. Now Han Jian is unceremonious and directly pointed out that the little emperor had not taken power, so he was provocative. How could she not be angry?
"I am talking, I am talking," Han Jian said. "I have been to the Southern Dynasty and know the current situation of the Southern Dynasty. Let's just say it. Now, except for the civil strife like ours, the Southern Dynasty is almost the same."
Xiao Zhan glared at Han Jian. He didn't say anything. Anyway, she was so angry that she had been here today, so she thought she didn't hear it now.
"...But I know that the princess actually has the opportunity to inherit the throne like my Majesty."
After Han Jian said this, everyone present was in an uproar. The officials of the Southern Dynasties behind Xiao Zhan stopped what they were doing and looked at Han Jian one by one. Such words were disrespectful in themselves. People in the Northern Dynasties said in person that the princess of the Southern Dynasties might ascende to the throne and become emperor. This was not only an usurpation, but also ignored the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
"Dongwang, do you know what you are talking about?" Xiao Zhan asked.
"I've been drinking too much, so it's normal to say a few words after drinking." Han Jian smiled, "It's the princess, now I'm here in my Northern Dynasties, but I've heard a piece of news, this news...ah! It's better not to say it!"
Han Jian didn't want to say it, and Xiao Zhan didn't want to ask, but she knew that Han Jian would still say it.
Sure enough, Han Jian seemed to have a bad memory after drinking, and forgot what he said just now, and directly added: "I heard that the Empress Dowager He of Guichao once said in front of others that he had a daughter and it seemed that he had not given birth. In the end, the daughter still had to marry. The meaning of giving birth to a daughter is extroverted, the princess should not be too careful."
Xiao Zhan stood up suddenly and looked at Han Jian coldly. Han Jian said why he wouldn't let her be too worried, but wasn't he just to anger her?
"Dongwang, if you wait for this nonsense, I... will go back first. I will not be with you!" Xiao Zhan said with integrity.
Han Jian smiled and continued, "I heard that His Highness the Princess is very close to Master Zhu. Master Zhu seems to be very close to Queen Mother He, the princess' mother. There are rumors in the market that Master Zhu was once a princess and eunuch, but he was also a fake eunuch, but he wanted to be in tune with Master He. This kind of thing sounds really touching. Some people say that mother and daughter... Oh, it's too ugly, it's fine if you don't say it!"
This time Xiao Zhan was completely angry. Han Jian had already criticized her for a few words, so she endured it. Now even her mother, Empress Dowager He, was involved, how could she not be angry? Now that she is still in such an open occasion of diplomatic banquets, Han Jian is just saying "nonsense after drinking", obviously unable to explain the matter.
"Dongwang, I will not be with you!" Xiao Zhan knew after all that he was in the Wei Dynasty, and now the Wei Dynasty seemed to lack the sincerity of continuing to maintain friendly friendship with the Qi Dynasty. Although she didn't know where the Wei Dynasty came from, she had just heard that the war was going on in the north. Even though she knew that the Wei Dynasty was now full of internal conflicts, Han Jian dared to openly provoke her here. Xiao Zhan thought to himself that she was not afraid that the Wei Dynasty would be attacked by both sides?
Xiao Zhan had just walked a few steps, but before he could reach the door, he had already been stopped by Han Jian.
"Princess, please stay." Han Jian said with a scoundrel smile on his face, "I have a few words left before I finish it, and the princess left like this, as if she was a little disrespectful."
"I have heard enough of the nonsense of the East King. If there is nothing else, I will set off for Jinling tomorrow. If His Highness of the East King forcefully stays, it is better to ignore the diplomatic relations between the two dynasties and calm down and be more sober!" Xiao Zhan said this and said harshly.
The officials who accompanied Xiao Zhan also stood up, but they didn't know whether to follow Xiao Zhan or to stay.
After all, this is a diplomatic banquet. As the commander, Xiao Zhanbing said something that he had to leave without harmony, which was a shameless thing in himself, but compared to what King Dong of Wei said, such shamelessness seemed to be nothing.
Han Jian smiled, but did not give way. Instead, he approached Xiao Zhan and whispered to Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan's expression immediately changed, and he was a little unbelievable in surprise, and then he looked at Han Jian angrily again.
"Dongwang. Are you talking nonsense enough?" Xiao Zhan asked.
Han Jian smiled and spread his hands and said, "If the princess doesn't believe it, then it's fine. However, in order to protect the princess' safety, I'm afraid the princess will stay in the palace for the time being, but the princess doesn't need to worry too much. After the matter is found out tonight, she should respectfully send the princess out of the palace tomorrow. If the princess wants to leave Luoyang and return to Jinling, she will also let the princess go back to sue her. Even if the princess wants to send troops to attack, it is also our fault for her!"
Xiao Zhan was a little unconfident when facing Han Jian's confidence.
At this time, the others present didn't quite understand what was going on now.
Originally, Xiao Zhan was about to leave, but now he was forced to stay by Han Jian and said something that others didn't know. What exactly was the key.
Han Jian clapped his hands and said, "Come here, send Your Highness the Princess to rest!"
Hearing the sound, a few people came in, but they were all dressed up by guards. When others saw this, they obviously guessed that Han Jian was going to be tough. After all, Xiao Zhan was a princess from the Southern Dynasty and came here as a guest. If the guest was "invited" to go out for a rest, it would be no different from kidnapping.
The officials accompanying the Southern Dynasty were a little nervous and were afraid that Xiao Zhan would resist strongly. After all, he was kidnapped. If he struggled a few more times, those who were accompanying officials would have to show it, but once he showed up, he would have fallen into the trap of the Wei Dynasty. At that time, they would not be able to escape and all would be detained. At that time, it would be hard to say when they could return to Jinling, and it would even be a question whether they could return. At that time, the Qi Dynasty released all the envoys of the Northern Dynasty except those borrowed by Yang Xi and Sima, but this did not mean that the Wei Dynasty would do this.
What everyone did not expect was that Xiao Zhan seemed very calm and tidied up his clothes and said, "Then it's time for King Dong, I'll go by myself."
Xiao Zhan said, and accompanied by Han Jian summoned the guards to leave the Wenwu Palace.
At this time, there were already a lot of discussion in the Wenwu Hall. The people of the Southern Dynasty had no idea what was going on, and Ning Yuan, who accompanied Han Jian to entertain guests in the Northern Dynasty, had no idea what was going on.
On the contrary, Yang Rui, who was sitting on the main seat, seemed to be watching a show from beginning to end, and did not comment until then.
Han Jian turned his head to look at the officials accompanying the Southern Dynasty and said, "I found out that someone is not good for Princess Yongdan of the Dynasty, and may have assassination. I will leave the princess to rest in the palace, which can be considered as protecting you, so you can go back first."
The officials of the Southern Dynasties couldn't help but look at each other, so how could they leave?
Didn’t the Wei Dynasty people plan to kill the hostages? Why did Xiao Zhan detain him? Instead, he ignored us. Are you not afraid of sending the news back to Jinling tomorrow?
The people present dared not say anything. Now that the princess is being detained, they want to ask the person back like this, which is too overestimating their ability. Now in order not to cause a disaster, the best way is to leave the palace in silence and act as if nothing happened.
But when everyone was about to leave, Han Jian suddenly said, "That person surnamed Xue, please stay for a while."
Xue Qian, who hadn't said anything at all, was about to leave with everyone, stopped in a complicated mood and turned around to hike Han Jian.
"What Your Highness is saying?"
"It's you." Han Jian smiled, "To prevent you from encountering an accident, it's better for you to stay."
Xue Qian's face seemed to have swallowed bitter gourd. When he started talking to Xiao Zhan, he knew that he would not have any good ending. However, he did not expect the revenge to come so quickly. As soon as the banquet ended, he was detained. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
