Chapter three hundred and eighty second salted fish turn over
Little Man Niu thought she couldn't hear her because of her low voice. Tang Ning glanced at her and said he was just giving her an example. He didn't want the little Mustang who liked to play with whips for free.
"If we say it's first come, first served, Tang's wedding envoy was still before the second prince. He visited Prince Xin's Mansion many times for the purpose of getting married."
A voice came from the front, and everyone looked over.
King Xin raised his head and looked at the Emperor of Chu, cupped his hands and said: "Both the Chen Kingdom and the Grassland want to get married. This matter needs to be decided by Your Majesty."
Emperor Chu coughed a few times but did not speak, but suddenly there was a sound outside the palace.
A eunuch hurriedly ran in from outside the palace. He tripped over the threshold and did not dare to delay. He ran into the palace, knelt down in panic and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the Chenzhou Military Camp is reporting urgently. General Xu was captured two days ago.
An assassin sneaked into the military camp, killed General Xu, and hung his head on the flagpole..."
"What?"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole palace was in an uproar.
Chenzhou is adjacent to Kyoto and is an important military town of the Chu State. It has always been heavily garrisoned. Once there is a change in Kyoto, the defenders of Chenzhou can return to the defense urgently and arrive in one day.
Because of the important task of guarding Kyoto, Chenzhou alone had fifty thousand permanent soldiers. The defense was so tight, how could assassins be allowed to sneak into the military camp and take off the head of the highest general?
Emperor Chu stood up from the dragon throne with difficulty and hissed: "What did you say?"
…
Originally, Chen Guo and Cao Cao were competing for the court meeting for the princess of Changning. Due to this unexpected incident, the marriage proposal was temporarily put on hold.
The general who was assassinated seemed to be of high rank. After such a vicious incident happened, the whole court was in chaos. Emperor Chu was too excited and his condition worsened. He was helped down, leaving King Xin to stabilize the overall situation.
This was a court affair of the Chu State, and the envoys of the Chen State and the grassland envoys were politely invited to go.
A eunuch sent them to the entrance of the palace. Wan Yanyan and others returned to the inn, while Tang Ning and Lu Teng returned to Jinxiu Palace.
"Greed is enough, a snake can swallow an elephant." The second prince looked at Tang Ning and said with a smile: "Chen Guo married a princess and wants to marry a princess, so be careful in the end the attempt will be in vain."
This second prince not only dresses like a Han, he even talks like one. There are endless idioms and sayings, which is much better than Wan Yanyan, who is a dabbler.
The second prince turned around and left after saying a word. Before leaving, Wan Yanyan habitually didn't give him a good look. Tang Ning thought that she had been trained to be more docile in that month, but she didn't expect the woman on the grassland.
As expected, she was wild and untamed, and after letting her go, she returned to her true nature within two days.
Lu Teng walked beside him and said: "The Chu State is also very tempted by the conditions they proposed. It will not be easy for us to compete with them."
Tangning waved her hand, "Let's take one step at a time."
In fact, to be honest, both the Chen Kingdom and the grassland have their own agendas. For Emperor Chen, it doesn't matter whether he is marrying a princess or a princess. What is important is winning the bet. As for Tang Ning, neither will let the princess.
Marrying the prince would not allow Prince Kang and Prince Duan to marry the princess...
As for those grassland barbarians who secretly contacted the prince and openly asked to marry King Xin's daughter, who knows what they had in mind.
In this situation, any abnormal movement will make you a target, so it is best to wait and see what happens.
Back at the Splendid Palace, Tangning unexpectedly discovered that Old Zheng was back.
I thought it would take him ten days and a half to leave, but I didn't expect him to leave so quickly. Having him by my side was like a reassurance.
He looked at Butcher Zheng and asked, "Is the matter finished?"
Butcher Zheng squatted on the porch, took a sip of wine, and said, "It's over."
Tang Ning said: "It may take some time before we can go back."
"There's no rush." Butcher Zheng wiped his mouth and said, "I'll go back with you then."
"This general of the Chu State is so dead..." He Rui walked over with lingering fear, looked at Lu Teng and said: "Master Lu, you have to ask the soldiers to be careful and guard against those assassins, so as not to cause any trouble.
…”
Lu Teng said: "Don't worry, Master He. Not even a fly can fly into the princess's bedroom."
"Send more people to the envoys..." He Rui said, then looked at Tang Ning and said, "Master Tang, those prairie barbarians have taken the lead in our proposal for marriage, what will we do now...
"
Tangning waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, Mr. He, I have my own arrangements."
After lunch, Tang Ning took Chen Zhou and Lao Zheng to Prince Xin's Mansion.
When I walked to the door of Prince Xin's Mansion, I found that the Second Prince and Wan Yanyan were also there.
"Everyone, the prince said that there will be no outsiders today, so please go back." Although the guard at the gate of the palace had a smile on his face, his tone was that of people who were thousands of miles away.
The second prince looked inside and said, "Excuse me."
Tangning walked over from behind, looked at them, and walked into the palace gate.
The guard bowed and said, "Master Tang, please."
"Stop!" Wan Yanyan pointed at Tang Ning, looked at the guard, and asked angrily: "Didn't you say you don't want to see outsiders? Why can he go in?"
Tangning turned around, looked at her, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, we are not outsiders."
As the savior of King Xin and Princess Xin, King Xin also wanted him to marry Jun Zhi. Although he refused, he could not be considered an outsider and would not be blocked from entering.
Watching them walk in, Wanyan Yan stamped her feet and said angrily: "Why do you see him but not us? I'm so angry!"
The second prince did not show any surprise and said, "It seems that King Xin still favors Chen Guo."
After looking at Yan Yan, he said: "Let's go..."
…
In Prince Xin's Mansion, in the study.
A young general looked at King Xin and said: "Your Majesty, General Xu's death was bizarre. No clues have been found. I can't rule out that some enemies are coming to visit. Why don't we send someone to investigate..."
A person next to him said: "He is a traitorous general of Liang State. How do we know if he had any enemies in the past?"
King Xin did not speak, but someone came in from outside the door and said, "Your Majesty, Master Tang is here."
King Xin raised his head and said, "You should step back first and let him come in."
Tangning waited for the people in King Xin's study to come out before she stepped in.
"What are you here for?" King Xin glanced at him and asked, "Are you asking for marriage for the prince of your Chen Kingdom?"
"Have I ever asked the prince to marry me?" Tang Ning looked at him and said, "The words I said in the palace today were said by the prince himself."
King Xin asked: "Are you really not here to ask for marriage?"
Tangning said: "No."
"Okay!" King Xin walked to the table, took out a piece of paper, and said, "Why don't you sign a document here today? If one day you marry me, Lanlan, you will be struck by thunder and die...
…”
Tang Ning glanced at King Xin. There was really something wrong with this man. He did it for no reason. What kind of evidence did he establish?
He took the initiative to come to see him today because he had something important to discuss.
The conflict between the Crown Prince and King Xin has long been irreconcilable. Only one of the two can be the emperor, and the other cannot have a good ending.
For Zhao Yingying and Li Tianlan, Tang Ning naturally had to side with King Xin.
Before that, he had to unite with King Xin before he could do anything.
He looked at King Xin and said, "I came here to ask you, do you want to watch the Emperor of Chu die and the crown prince ascend the throne like this?"
King Xin looked at him and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Tang Ning met his eyes and asked, "If the crown prince ascends the throne, will there be room in the Chu Kingdom in Prince Xin's Mansion?"
Snapped!
King Xin slapped the table and said, "Believe it or not, just based on what you just said, I can have people drag you out and chop you!"
Tangning naturally didn't believe it. If he dared to give this order, he would have died a hundred times before those people rushed in.
He continued to ask: "You don't think about yourself, the princess and the princess?"
King Xin waved his hand and said: "I don't need you to teach me how to do things."
After a few words, Tang Ning looked at him and said, "In that case, I'll take my leave."
A prince who doesn't want to be an emperor is not a good prince. There are some people in this world who have unique advantages but insist on being a fish without dreams. Tangning decided to help this fish turn over for free - who let this fish turn over?
What about having a good daughter?
