"National Master, has the result of what I asked you to do achieved?" The emperor always spoke with Qingque in a respectful manner, without the slightest sense of condescension.
"Your Majesty," Qingque said, taking out a piece of paper, which was densely covered with tadpole characters and drawings that were difficult to decipher, "it took the poor Taoist three days to finally deduce the innate star array."
The emperor took a look at the drawing. He was somewhat familiar with it, but not profound: "The Imperial Master should just tell the result directly!"
"When the hexagrams appear, negotiation should be the top priority," Qingque said.
The emperor secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He was originally a peacemaker, but such words could not be said easily from his mouth.
In the past few days, the ministers of the former dynasty had been quarreling over whether it was war or peace, and even went to the point of attacking and abusing each other.
The emperor then asked Qingque to watch the sky at night, deduce the fate of the country, and see what countermeasures should be taken.
"The peace negotiation is very good," the emperor nodded, "but I don't know if there is a solution?"
"If the peace negotiation is to go smoothly, it is best to send someone from the royal family who was born in the year of dragon or tiger to go there, and also have a foreign minister who was born in the year of horse to accompany him. This way, it is best to balance priorities." Qingque said seriously,
"It is best for this foreign minister to be a Huns, familiar with the terrain and language of Mobei."
"As long as we find these two suitable candidates, will everything go smoothly?" The emperor was still a little worried.
"As long as the person taking the lead doesn't have second thoughts, there won't be any problems." Qingque said flatly.
Soon the conversation between the emperor and Qingque came out.
On this day, Concubine Xian's brother Liu Mizhang came into the palace, and the brother and sister had tea and talked secretly.
"The wind has been released, I think you will be able to take your seat soon." Liu Mizhang said with a smile, "In the royal family, the five princes are tigers and the sixth princes are dragons. Apart from them, there are no others."
"In the eyes of outsiders, going to the fortress to negotiate peace requires great merit, so we pretended to go. Lao Wu is already despised by the emperor. If he doesn't take the initiative to ask for help, it will only make the emperor even more alienated from him," Concubine Xian said, "
Besides, when he saw that we were going, he thought that leaving the fortress was just a piece of cake, and he had no time to think about it. What kind of trap was it?"
"Your Majesty's move is really powerful. It saves a lot of trouble." Liu Mizhang said, "Let him die at the border fortress. Even if the people here want to find out, they will be beyond their reach."
"As a prince, it is a supreme honor to die for the country." Concubine Xian did not feel that she was vicious at all, "Besides, what is there to investigate? Priest Qingque has already said it, as long as the person who negotiates peace for the leader does not have two minds.
It will be extremely smooth. If something goes wrong, it can only be his own fault."
"Taoist Master Qingque never discusses the government's affairs unreasonably, which is why the emperor trusts everything he says." Liu Mizhang said proudly, "It's not an exaggeration to say that he will obey his advice.
Moreover, when deducing the great prophecy before, didn't there be a sentence in it, "White tiger and blue dragon competing"? Previously, people thought it was the passing of time, but they didn't know that it actually referred to the zodiac signs of the fifth and sixth princes.
In this way, people will gradually realize that the Sixth Prince has fulfilled the destiny and is the true king."
"I guess the matter will be settled in less than two days. Brother, you have to arrange for someone reliable to go to Mobei ahead of them." Concubine Xian said.
"Don't worry! I'll ask Feng Ming to take two followers." Liu Mizhang said, "I guarantee there will be no mistakes."
Liu Fengming is his second son, who is quick-witted and smart.
You can't trust such a confidential matter to others no matter what. You have to fight with your own family.
"Tell him to be careful." Concubine Xian said, "Whether you can kill Lao Wu depends on this."
Liu Mizhang knew that Concubine Xian had always been afraid of the fifth prince and had long wanted to get rid of him.
"Don't worry, sister. This strategy is very clever and will definitely work." Liu Mizhang said, "It is impossible for the fifth prince to come back alive. When the time comes, he will definitely be the crown prince."
Liu Mizhang was so proud that he seemed to have seen his sister take the position of queen.
"Empress, Imperial Concubine Li is here." Kang Guang walked in carefully and said.
Liu Mizhang stood up quickly: "Then I will take my leave first. If you have any other instructions for me, please tell me later."
"Go ahead, everything will go according to plan, but you must keep it secret and don't let others know." Concubine Xian was not worried at all that this strategy was useless. She was only afraid that the news would leak out and cause complications.
"Don't worry, don't worry. Apart from me and Feng Ming, no one else in the family will know about it. Even those two followers are our dead men. If we have to die, they will never betray us." Liu
Mi Zhang almost swore to heaven.
Not long after he went out, Concubine Li walked in with Nana, with a smile on her face, and said to Concubine Xian: "Sister is very busy now, I'm sorry to come and disturb you."
Concubine Xian also had a smile on her face and said diligently: "Sister, don't say such unorthodox words. It will make me embarrassed and have nowhere to go. No matter how busy I am, I can still make room for my sister when she comes."
Li Fei sat down unceremoniously, picked up the pine pulp next to her and ate two of them: "Sister, did you hear the message?"
When Concubine Xian heard her question, she understood her purpose of coming. She was here to check out the news.
"I wonder what my sister is talking about?" Concubine Xian knew the consultant clearly.
"Hey, what else can we do? It's just a matter of going to the fortress to negotiate peace!" Li Fei winked, "It's time for us Sixth Prince to show off our talents, right?"
"What? Sister Li Concubine is so concerned about Gan'er?" Concubine Xian asked back, with a slightly teasing tone, "Maybe he is the fifth prince!"
"Look what you said, what's the difference between us sisters? Of course I hope that something good will happen to Gan'er." Li Fei covered her mouth with a smile, "But sister, if we let Lao Wu negotiate and make peace,
He has accomplished a great job."
"The emperor has to decide who will go through this matter in the end," Concubine Xian said. "It's better for those of us in the harem to stay less involved."
"I came here to ask, do you need me to blow some air in front of Your Majesty?" Li Fei said.
Concubine Xian blamed her for being meddlesome, but she couldn't let her know her plans, so she said: "Let's forget it! Although I also want to do some meritorious deeds, I'm afraid his temper and eloquence are useless. Besides, the Huns are now
As he was getting ready to kill, I was really worried about his safety.
If the emperor really wants him to go, then I have no problem with it. But I always don’t want to interfere too much. After experiencing many things, I gradually feel that everything is destined, so I don’t want to force it anymore.”
"Since my sister said so, I won't worry about it." Li Fei said, "Later, I have something to tell my sister. There are several maids in my palace who are old and should be released from the palace in spring.
I went. I have identified a few favorites in advance and asked my sister to assign them to me when the time comes."
Concubine Xian is now in charge of the affairs of the harem, and Concubine Li comes to her and tells her that this is the right time.
"Why does my sister need to tell me about such a trivial matter in person? Just send someone to tell me." Concubine Xian responded happily, "I guarantee that I will deliver it to you when the time comes."
