In the early morning of Tianli, when the emperor was discussing with a group of ministers how to increase the revenue of the treasury as the treasury had been empty for many years, an urgent voice came from outside the palace, and everyone understood that this voice meant that there was a major military situation on the border.
As soon as this voice came, the expressions of everyone present changed. What happened? Li Mobei frowned. He was responsible for the safety of Tianli.
The emperor, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, felt his heart skip a beat when he heard this voice. What kind of military situation would there be at this time? He looked at the prince and Li Mobei, but they both looked puzzled at this time. There was no problem at the border at this time.
, and I have not heard that Tianyao has any plans to send troops. What is the military situation? Both the prince and Li Mobei shook their heads, feeling uneasy at the same time.
"Xuan..." Seeing that the emperor could not get the news, he immediately loudly asked people to come in.
"Your Majesty, Prince Tianyaoxue has led 300,000 people to the Tianli border to discuss marrying the princess." The messenger said in a hurry. After saying this sentence, he immediately gasped for breath. You can imagine how anxious he was.
came, and an army of 300,000 people pressed down on the border. This was no small matter.
Boom... The words of the messenger were like throwing a big stone into the calm water. For a moment, everyone's expressions changed. Xue Tianao, an army of 300,000...
"What? Tianyao's 300,000 troops are approaching the border?" The emperor's face changed when he heard this. Why did they only know about such a big thing at this time? They didn't receive the news until the army had arrived at the border. The emperor looked at Li Mobei with a dissatisfied look on his face.
Li Mobei was also puzzled by this person who controlled Tianli's military power. An army of three hundred thousand was not a small number. How could it come at any time without any warning in advance?
Li Mobei shook his head with an ugly expression, and at the same time thought about what Xue Tianao meant? Did he really come to discuss marrying Mingyan? They Tianli had already agreed to marry the princess, and they were just discussing issues of time and rank.
What is the purpose of Xue Tianao's 300,000 troops at this time? Is it really for the princess's marriage? Li Mobei doesn't believe it at all, but they are very passive at this time and cannot guess Xue Tianao's thoughts for a while.
"Back to the emperor, yes, Xue Tianao personally leads an army of 300,000 people and has camped at the border." The messenger confirmed again.
"Mobei, what do you think is going on? Is Tianyao going to attack Tianli?" Although the emperor was worried, he did not dare to speak too harshly when talking to Li Mobei. He, the emperor, was quite cowardly.
Yes, he has neither military power nor political power in his hands.
Li Mobei frowned slightly and shook his head. "Your Majesty, this should be Xue Tianao's personal behavior. There is no news that the Tianyao royal family will send troops to Tianli."
Li Mobei was extremely sure of this. Xue Tianao had buried spies in Tianli, and of course he had also buried spies in Tianyao. If he didn't receive the news, he meant that there was no such thing in Tianyao's court.
What's more, as far as he knew, Xue Tian'ao was currently fighting for power with Emperor Tianyao, and Emperor Tianyao would never send Xue Tian'ao to control heavy troops.
"Xue Tian'ao, what is he going to do?" The emperor asked with some worry. If it was not the behavior of the Tianyao royal family, then what exactly is Xue Tian'ao going to do? An army of 300,000 people came to the border quietly. This is no small matter.
ah.
Everyone shook their heads in silence, and no one said a word. At this time, Prince Li Haotian opened his mouth to arrange what Tianli had to do.
"Father, since Xue Tian'ao only left the army at the border and did not start a battle, there must be something to discuss. Xue Tian'ao's envoy should be arriving soon. Let's make two preparations first: first, strengthen border defense;
The second is to wait and see why Xue Tianao comes."
The prince's expression was also very ugly. Xue Tian'ao had gone too far to bully Tianli. If Tianli didn't have the money to start a war with Tianyao now, he would definitely make Xue Tian'ao never come back...
When he thought of this, the prince felt a little helpless. Tianyao was located in the south of the Yangtze River and was blessed with abundant resources, but Tianli was located in the north and lacked resources. The national strength of the two countries has always been very demanding, and Tianli now has an empty treasury and no money.
Fight, if the fight with Tianyao continues at this time, then when he, the prince, ascends the throne, he will face a poor treasury. Now Tianli can only compromise.
"According to what the prince said, I will leave it to you, Mobei, to strengthen the border guards. As for receiving the envoys, it will be the prince's responsibility." The emperor's face was quite ugly. What happened to Xue Tian'ao? His personal behavior? Xue Tian
Is Ao now at the height of his power in Tianyao? He actually sent 300,000 troops in the name of the prince. What did the emperor of Tianyao do?
"Tianyao has come to ask for an audience." Just when the emperor gave the order, the eunuch's shouts came from outside the palace, and as soon as the voice fell, the emperor and others' faces became even more embarrassed. What is going on, Xue Tianao
The envoys all arrived outside the Tianli Palace. Why didn't they receive the news? How to protect the safety of the imperial city.
"Xuan..." Emperor Tianli's face turned pale with anger, and his eyes stared fiercely at the general responsible for the safety of the imperial city. This is Tianli's shame. Tianyao's people have arrived outside the palace, and they don't know.
If this was an assassin, then the consequences would be very serious.
The general knew that a disaster was coming when he saw the emperor's eyes. His face was pale, but he didn't know what was going on. The guards of the imperial city could not relax...
The Tianli morning court suddenly fell into a state of solemnity. All the officials of Tianli stood there with ugly expressions, not daring to move.
"Tianyao's special envoy Qin Yifeng comes to see His Majesty Tianli Emperor, long live long live long live." The person who came was none other than Qin Yifeng, who was dressed casually in green clothes. Only he could break through the defense of Tianli Imperial City and sneak in quietly. Of course.
Just because he entered the Tianli Palace alone does not mean that he is alone...
"No gift." Emperor Tianli looked at Qin Yifeng, who was standing there free and easy, with a flash of appreciation in his eyes. This Xue Tian'ao is indeed remarkable. Even one of his subordinates is such a person, which is enviable.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Yifeng's tone could not be called respectful or contemptuous. It was just a rather straightforward manner, which was not annoying.
"I wonder what the special envoy of Qin is here for?" The emperor said majestically, as if he didn't know that Xue Tian'ao was leading 300,000 troops at the border.
Qin Yifeng didn't care at all. He was 100% sure that the people in Tianli already knew about the Tian'ao army's invasion. After all, the atmosphere in this hall was very unusual. But he pretended not to know if the other party didn't tell him. Anyway, he just had to complete it.
Just the tasks given by Xue Tianao will be enough.
"Your Majesty, Qin Yifeng is here on behalf of Tianyao to discuss the marriage of Princess Mingyan." Qin Yifeng said his purpose nonchalantly, which was also the excuse for their trip.
"Special Envoy Qin, the two countries are discussing the matter of Ming Yan's marriage. I wonder what Special Envoy Qin means?" The emperor's tone was quite stern, as if you don't have to go back if you can't explain why you came. This is also
The emperor wanted to use this to establish his authority.
"Your Majesty is serious, Qin Yifeng is here to discuss Princess Mingyan's marriage, and also to discuss the choice of Princess Mingyan's companions." Qin Yifeng smiled brightly, with a look of no scheming,
But as soon as the words came out, Tianli understood that Qin Yifeng was chosen to accompany his relatives, but who in Tianli attracted Xue Tianao's attention, and he would not hesitate to mobilize the army for this?
"Choose with your relatives?" The prince stood up and looked at Qin Yifeng, what did Xue Tianao want to play?
Something flashed in Li Mobei's eyes, but he didn't think much about it. Instead, he looked at Qin Yifeng and waited for Qin Yifeng's answer.
"Yes, to accompany relatives, Prince Xue personally selected a few to accompany relatives, and I would like to ask your majesty for your permission." Qin Yifeng said very relaxedly, regardless of how ugly Tianli's face was,
Xue Tian'ao's 300,000 troops are at the border. Now Tianli doesn't dare to challenge them. Thinking of Xue Tian'ao's actions, Qin Yifeng can only say that the man is crazy. For a woman, an uncertain woman will not hesitate to expose herself.
His trump card caused Tianyao's emperor and Tianli to become hostile to him at the same time. Isn't he afraid of causing chaos in the world?
