Chapter 858
Many people think it should be King An, because he is the Minister of the Honglu Temple and the Prince, so it is most appropriate for him to go there.
However, this incident always exudes a strange atmosphere. This is naturally because the relationship between the Xianbei and the Northern Tang Dynasty was gradually breaking down. Although the Xianbei Kingdom has been replaced by Su Kingdom, the country's name can change, but the people are still Xianbei people.
Shoufu Chu saw the clues and gradually understood why the emperor had to neglect the prince first and let him be convicted of his crimes, because the prince was guilty and could easily reject Su Guo’s invitation.
Emperor Mingyuan's foresight should be based on the accuracy and precision of intelligence, and the accuracy and precision of intelligence were also based on Hong Lie's plan. After planning for a few months, it would definitely not be a celebration.
The Prince Hongye and Hong Liexing had originally set up spies in the Northern Tang Dynasty, so this scene must be done in real life. When the prince forced the prince to attack in the palace, the emperor was to lose his reputation to protect the prince. If he had discussed with the prince in advance, the prince would not be able to do this scene.
This plot and sacrifice made Chu Shoufu also moved him.
Sure enough, the emperor summoned the cabinet ministers to discuss the matter, and the elected candidates were the highest.
Emperor Mingyuan did not make a decision. After retreating, he left the servant Chu and Leng Jingyan in the imperial study room.
"Two dear friends, what are your opinions?" Emperor Mingyuan looked at the list, and they also recommended King An.
He calmly said: "The emperor, I recommend King An because of the past two months of secret investigation. The secret lines of the Xianbei have gradually surfaced. They have always had contact with King An. No matter what big move Su Guo holds up this time, they will not easily hurt King An. Because we have not found out the secret lines, they think they have not been exposed. They will have to use King An in the future."
"Where is the chief minister?" Emperor Mingyuan looked at the chief minister Chu and asked.
Chu Shoufu said: "I agree with Lord Leng's statement. No matter what the purpose of Suguo this time is, it can be predicted that it is definitely not as simple as a celebration. Prince Rui is suitable. Prince Rui is not very clear about the situation and is easily controlled by others. However, Prince An and the Xianbei Hongye colluded. After sending Prince An, they can discuss major events legitimately, which is also a hidden danger to our Northern Tang."
Emperor Mingyuan's eyes were filled with anger, "No matter what he planned, when he came back from Suguo, he would seize power and issue it back to the fiefdom, and ordered people to closely monitor it, and deploy garrisons around him."
Shoufu Chu bowed, "Then do everything according to the emperor's wishes."
He said calmly: "Your Majesty, there is another thing that makes people worry, that is, if the relationship between the two countries breaks down or fights together, our weapons have not been made yet, and Hong Liexing of Suguo has already obtained the military map. If their weapons are made, it will be a great threat to our Northern Tang. Although we have formed an alliance with the Great Zhou, the Great Zhou and his wife are now rushing to the battlefield to deal with the war, but we have no arrangements."
Emperor Mingyuan smiled faintly, "You don't have to worry about the close contact with the Great Zhou. Do you really think the prince is just confined to the mansion these days? His people have already gone out to move around, and the military supplies of Leng Siye started preparing three months ago."
Shoufu Chu was stunned, "Isn't the prince in the mansion all day long? He did these things..." He didn't know? He could still hide it from him? Shoufu Chu really felt that he was old this time, and he couldn't see through the emperor or the prince.
"I asked him to confine himself to leave Jingzhao Mansion, so that he could completely withdraw from his body to do these things. There is no need to say between father and son. He knew that the crisis was approaching. After all, he was already a mature prince. However, what he was most worried about now is the military map. I don't know if the people he sent out have destroyed the military map. There are no new military maps sent over the Great Zhou side. If there are military maps, with the current financial and manpower of our Northern Tang, a batch can be created in two months. So what should we be afraid of Suguo and Beimo?"
Chu Shoufu was slightly stunned. Is the current financial resources of North Tang? Has he been confused recently? This year's tax revenue seems to be not much better than last year. Could it be that he realized this later, and even if he suddenly had new income in the middle school, he didn't know?
"Your Majesty, where do you start with this financial resources?" Shoufu Chu asked carefully. He really didn't remember this.
Emperor Mingyuan glanced at him and said as firmly as Mount Tai: "I have a son-in-law." A son-in-law who is rich enough to rival a country.
"Oh..." Chu Shoufu and Lu Jingyan looked at each other, this shameless!
"In the face of national crisis, we will naturally watch over each other!" Emperor Mingyuan saw the profound meaning contained in the two of them, and said dissatisfiedly.
"oh……"
"Retreat!" Emperor Mingyuan was a little angry.
The An Mansion held a banquet to entertain the Sun Mansion family today, saying it was hospitality, but in fact it was accusation. The two brothers had a personal grudge, but later because of the third brother, Sun was angry with King An for a long time. Although King Sun did not hold grudges, this anger was also in his heart for a long time.
The reason for King An's banquet was also very simple. He wanted to turn war into jade and silk. After all, the two of them are now officials in the same yamen and meet each other day. If there is any unhappiness, it will affect official duties.
King Sun was a business person and thought what he said made sense, so he agreed to take Princess Sun to the banquet with him.
During the meal, King An kept urging him to drink and apologize, saying that he was a bastard and shouldn't have treated the third brother like this, which led to the destruction of the third brother's family. He even said that when the third brother couldn't chase him, he did not fight back because he knew that he deserved it.
Seeing that he was sincere and he was his brother, he could not hold grudges like this again, so he said, "It's over, don't mention it again in the future. Brothers have a fight, there is no overnight revenge. When the third brother comes back, you can admit your mistakes with him steadily. I believe that the third brother will not blame you again."
King An burst into tears and toasted again, which made King Sun drunk, and said, "My father must have sent me to the National Day celebration, but, second brother, you know that I can't go. If I go, I will take the lead of the prince. I and the prince have finally calmed down. If I fight again because of this, it would be beyond my wish."
King Sun naturally knew about this and said, "Lao Wu is now being confined and he cannot go. You are not considered to have taken his edge. Everything is still arranged by the emperor."
King An sighed, "That's the case, but I can't resist those who instigate you. Second brother, you don't know. I have had a criminal record after all. Even if Lao Wu knows that I have no ambitions now, the people around him don't know that this matter will be infinitely magnified. If Lao Wu has a rift with me at that time, I will really not be able to wash it off."
King Sun was a little dizzy when he heard King An's words, and he felt it was very reasonable and said, "In this way, you are really not suitable."
"Yes, actually I really want to go. We are the supervisor of Honglu Temple in diplomacy. It is reasonable for me to go there. I can also see the customs and customs of Suguo, or do something to change the view of the Xianbei people on the Northern Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, due to this reason, it is not good for me to go. Second brother, why don't you go. I recommend myself to your palace tomorrow morning, and I will definitely advise you!"
