Chapter 772: Entering the DPRK(1/2)
At dawn, a touch of white gradually appeared in the east. The sky outside had not yet fully lit up, and candles had already appeared in the room.
He got up early and went to court, put on a plain clothes, and behind him, Xinyu carefully sorted out the clothes for the former and fulfilled his duties as a wife.
"I'm leaving"
As time approached, Ning Chen said softly and then walked out of the room.
In the Daxia Palace, in the majestic and majestic Tianyu Hall, all officials arrived, waiting for the emperor to attend court.
As usual, there was no separation in the morning court, but today there was a little strangeness. The Northern Mongolian emperor was assassinated in the Daxia Imperial City, and the Northern Mongolian side put pressure on it, and the relationship between the two dynasties became tense again.
Forty years ago, the war between the two dynasties that shook the past and the present is now vivid in my mind. Several old ministers in the dynasty clearly remember the terrible war. In the prosperous Daxia in the Spring and Autumn Period, several Wuhou fought bloody battles to bring peace to the Daxia. If the two dynasties start again, there is no doubt that life will be devastated again.
As the officials waited quietly, Xia Chi, wearing an imperial dragon robe, walked out to the right of the hall, and his eyes swept over the ministers below without saying a word.
"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court."
Next to the dragon throne, an eunuch stepped forward and whispered to remind.
"wait"
Xia Chi responded lightly and said calmly.
His Highness and all the ministers were surprised, but no one dared to say more, so they could only continue to wait patiently.
At this moment, outside the hall, at the end of the steps, a plain figure appeared, and her young face was as if it were forty years ago, and there was no change in it.
"Meet the Marquis of Wu"
At both ends of the stairs, the dragon guards of the imperial guards knelt down and saluted respectfully.
In the hall, all the officials heard the movement outside the hall and returned one after another. When they saw the figure in plain clothes coming, their faces showed shock.
"Meet the Marquis of Wu"
When you know your destiny and enter the court, all officials will respect you. When facing the people in front of you, no one dares to be rude even if you have a high official position.
This is the guardian saint of Daxia. Without the Marquis of Zhiming, there will be no Daxia now. Whether you want to admit it or not, this is all true.
"Sitting"
In front of the dragon throne, Xia Chi suppressed his emotions and spoke.
A dragon guard entered the palace to receive the order, put down the seats of all officials, and then quickly retreated.
Ning Chen slightly looked at the figure on the dragon chaise, stepped forward and sat down without saying anything.
"Going to the court" on the dragon throne, Xia Chi said lightly.
"Long live my emperor, long live my life." All the officials knelt down and bowed respectfully.
"Let's go flat" Xia Chi said calmly.
"Thank you Your Majesty" all officials stood up and stood on both sides.
"You can discuss what the matter between Northern Mongolian, what results can you get?" Xia Chi said.
"Report to Your Majesty"
A minister walked out and said respectfully, "The assassination of the Northern Meng Emperor was too strange. It was obvious that he had prepared for a long time. I suspect that the Northern Meng Emperor deliberately sent someone to provoke the battlefields of the two dynasties."
"I don't agree"
Another minister walked out and bowed and said, "This is an assassin. If the Emperor of Northern Meng sent someone to do it, wouldn't it be too stupid? You must have known the situation that day. Those assassins are all rare masters in the world. If Lord Wuhou or our court worships later, how would the Emperor of Northern Meng fulfill this lie?"
"Maybe Emperor Beimeng still has a backup plan, but we don't know."
The former minister argued unwillingly.
"Sir"
The third minister stood up and said, "The king of Beimeng is ambition, we must be careful. We should take measures in advance and not let the emperor of Beimeng and his group go back so easily."
"Sir"
"Sir"
Fourth, fifth, sixth... In the hall, one minister after another came out, with different opinions. From the beginning, the dispute became more and more intense, and gradually became tense and attacked each other.
Before the ministers, Ning Chen sat there quietly, looking at the officials with red faces, without saying a word.
"Have you had enough noise?"
On the dragon throne, Xia Chi's face turned gloomy and said in a cold voice.
Every time we discuss matters, someone takes advantage of the issue and attacks each other, wishing to kill each other.
His ministers in Daxia are really not simpler than the other!
After hearing this, all the officials stopped the sound and lowered their heads.
"Toshiba Hou"
Xia Chi looked at the Wuhou, who had been silent all the time, and said in a deep voice, "You will always be responsible for the safety of Bei Meng and his party, please give me your opinion."
"Report to Your Majesty"
Toshiba Hou walked out and bowed respectfully, saying, "I believe that there may be civil strife in Beimeng."
"oh?"
When Xia Chi heard this, a strange color flashed in his eyes and asked, "Go down."
"yes"
Toshiba Hou bowed again and continued, "The assassins this time are all above the innate skills, and there are also several powerful people of the three disaster level. These people are not weak, but they are very familiar with the structure in the Honglu Temple and are obviously prepared for it. In addition, the Northern Meng Emperor was assassinated at Yingbin Courtyard. Regardless of success or failure, our dynasty will not escape suspicion. The biggest possibility is actually two. First, this matter is indeed done by our dynasty people, and the purpose is very clear. Take this opportunity to eliminate the Northern Meng Emperor, make the Northern Meng chaos, and then the Northern Expedition."
"All nonsense"
Toshiba Hou's words were not finished yet, an old minister could not hide his anger, interrupting the former, and said in a deep voice, "My dynasty has always been open and honest, how could he do such a person?"
"Mr. Yan doesn't have to be angry. This marquis is just talking about the matter. After all, people's hearts are separated from each other. No one knows what others are thinking. Lord. Yan must not deny that there is not no one in our dynasty who can do this, nor is there anyone who doesn't want to do this," Toshiba Hou said lightly.
"Yan Qing retreat first and let Toshiba Hou Wan," Xia Chi said in a voice on the dragon throne.
"yes"
The old minister bowed and retreated.
"The second possibility"
Toshiba Hou's expression slightly calmed down and said, "This matter is indeed planned by the Northern Meng side, but if this is true, then there is a very likely place in the Northern Meng, and there is a very likely place in the Northern Meng. Everyone should know that over the years, the rare temporary peace between our dynasty and Northern Meng. People who are not satisfied with the current situation are not a few in our dynasty and Northern Meng. This time, the Northern Meng Emperor came to Daxia. Once the Northern Meng Emperor died, the Northern Meng royal court will inevitably change its dynasty. At that time, no one knows whether peace can be maintained between Northern Meng and Daxia."
When all the ministers heard this, they all fell silent. What Toshiba Hou said was indeed reasonable.
"Dear sirs, no matter whether the Northern Meng is strong or weak for thousands of years, our dynasty has never been able to defeat him. The reason is that it is difficult for our people and soldiers to adapt to the life of the Northern Meng royal court grassland and desert. Therefore, Northern Meng will not be too worried about the consequences of this chaos. However, Daxia is different. Once the Northern Meng recovers its vitality, no one can guarantee the safety of our northern border," Toshiba Hou said seriously.
"Marquis Toshiba, you are Marquis of Wu of Daxia. How can you say that you have such aspirations to others and destroy your own power?" A civil official walked out and scolded him sternly.
"Mr. Jian, the victory or defeat on the battlefield can be changed by just growing others' ambition and destroying one's own majesty. This is the fact. No one can change this fact whether you are willing or not," Toshiba Hou said coldly.
"What does Toshiba Hou mean?" Xia Chi said calmly.
"and"
Toshiba Hou said seriously, "The current emperor of Beimeng has no intention to provoke a war. Moreover, after this incident, the Beimeng royal court will not be too peaceful, and Beimeng has no time to take care of it. Our dynasty only needs to continue to recuperate. At least, before our dynasty has a way to completely conquer Beimeng, this war should not be provoked."
"Marquis Anling, your opinion?" Xia Chi looked at the other Marquis Wu and asked.
"I agree with Toshiba Hou's view"
Marquis Anling walked out and said respectfully.
"Queen Yuhou, where are you?" Xia Chi asked again.
"I also agree with Toshiba Hou's view"
Kong Yu walked out and performed the ritual.
In the hall, all the officials were in a state of great trouble. Why did Wuhou disagree with the war between the two dynasties? Shouldn’t the generals make achievements on the battlefield?
Before the officials, Ning Chen showed a faint smile on his face. Daxia entrusted it to them, so he could feel at ease.
The four words "Mr. Wuhou of Daxia" are not insulted.
The existence of Wuhou was not for war or to make achievements, but for peace and peace for all people.
If peace can continue, even if Marquis Wu has no military achievements from now on, what's wrong?
"I agree too"
Ning Chen stood up and spoke again.
As soon as he fell, the ministers in the palace were all shocked, and their eyes looked forward, almost forgot that this Marquis of Zhiming was also here.
"Is Toshiba Hou?"
Ning Chen looked at the purple-green Wuhou man in the hall and spoke.
"Wuhou"
Toshiba Hou bowed respectfully and responded.
"You've just inferred it well"
