Crown Prince Xian was sent back only three days after he arrived in Beijing. His dream of becoming a prince and an emperor also missed a great opportunity because of his own stupidity.
Although the imperial court and your majesty had some suspicions of changing the order at night, envoy Xiaowan was too tight-lipped about this matter and forced the imperial court and your majesty to give them an explanation.
The reason why this incident had such a huge impact and caused His Majesty to withdraw his life was all because of Xiaowan.
But if you put yourself in their shoes, if your majesty had been subjected to such a shameful humiliation in Xiaowan, the reaction of the people and officials of Chu State would probably be even greater. If Prince Xian was not severely punished, Xiaowan would definitely not give up. Now
Xiaowan is not someone to be trifled with. In order to calm down their anger, His Majesty finally made such a decision, which was not unexpected.
Prince Xian became the laughing stock. I thought the opportunity would fall to the other princes, but His Majesty did not mention this matter at all.
It's right to think about it. Such a scandal has occurred in the court and the royal family. Your Majesty must be extra cautious when choosing a prince. If such a thing happens again, wouldn't it be a joke to outsiders?
While the people in Beijing were talking about this matter, Tang Ning and Li Tianlan were eating noodles in the mother-in-law's noodle shop.
Others said that the crux of the matter regarding Prince Xian was Xiaowan, but they didn't know that Xiaowan was the one who took the blame.
They demanded an explanation so strongly, but in fact they were just asking for an explanation from Emperor Chu.
At this time, the noodle seller's mother-in-law was not outside. Tang Ning had known before that he was actually Li Tianlan's master, and she had taught her all the martial arts.
The old woman and the old beggar have been inseparable lately, and they will fight each other whenever there is a chance. However, they have fought so many times, but they still have no chance of winning.
The old noodle seller was obviously on the same level as the old beggar, but Lao Zheng was a little behind them. Li Tianlan and Xiaoxiao had to move to the next level again.
Tang Ning gave Li Tianlan a poached egg in the bowl. Although it was a little difficult to coax her during this trip to Chu State, luckily everything was safe...
Tang Ning originally thought that Emperor Chu would quietly marry the princess to Xiaowan, but what she didn't expect was that he would publicize the matter in a big way.
Chu State is Chen State's ally, and Xiaowan is Chen State's enemy, at least for now.
Tangning didn't know how Chen Huang would feel when he heard about the marriage between an ally and an enemy country, but he would definitely not bless him...
Obviously, for Chu State, their friendship with Chen State is just a plastic brotherhood. They have been oppressed by Chen State for so many years and suffered all kinds of exploitation. How could they not have resentment in their hearts?
Maybe this time, he just wanted to use this matter to express his long-standing grievances...
After all, the Chu State is no longer what it used to be. They no longer need to be controlled by the Chen State. Their biggest enemy, the Grassland Wanyan Tribe, has also reached a reconciliation with them. The Chu State is about to enter a period of barbaric growth, and naturally they no longer need to be controlled by the Chen State.
The bird spirit of the country.
Tang Ning couldn't help but worry about whether Chen Huang could withstand this sudden blow with his cautious mind and his current body.
The Chu State was so tough this time, completely ignoring the feelings of the Chen State. The biggest reason was that their enemies had now become friends and there were no more foreign troubles.
Speaking of which, since Wan Yanyan came to power, the grassland has completely bid farewell to that kind of predatory development. They have begun to cooperate with Chen Chu to achieve win-win business. However, the black barbarians who pose the greatest threat to them are in the process of splitting and temporarily threatening them.
Without them, the lives of the grassland people have become easier in the past two years.
Thinking of this, Tang Ning realized that the original three-year period with Wanyan Yan had passed by for another two years, and now there was only one year left.
If Li Tianlan is still rational, Xiao Manniu doesn't care about the consequences when doing things.
Tang Ning felt that if he dared to break the contract for even one day, Wanyan's army would probably attack Chen Guo directly.
When you eat noodles with such thoughts, the originally delicious food becomes tasteless.
Tang Ning inadvertently raised her head and saw a group of people walking hurriedly through the street. Judging from their clothes and appearance, they must be from the prairie.
Three years ago, the grassland people would not have dared to appear in Chu State in such a arrogant manner. Now that the two countries have reconciled, it is not surprising to see the Sushen people in the Kyoto of Chu State.
However, what Tang Ning thought was an ordinary thing was actually unusual.
When he returned to his residence, he heard from Mr. Xu that deep in the grassland, the black barbarians had put down the civil strife and reunified. The Wanyan tribe, also on the grassland, would face the threat of the black barbarians again.
Although the current Wanyan Division, with Chen Chu's support, is even more powerful than it was two years ago, Heiman is already known for its bravery, and they will not gain much benefit from this war.
Grassland sent people to Chu State this time to move reinforcements.
Compared with Chen State, Chu State is closer to the grassland and can provide them with the most timely support.
Tang Ning looked at Mr. Xu and asked, "What did the Chu court say?"
Mr. Xu said: "The ministers are discussing it, and the specific results are not yet known."
When Tang Ning arrived at the palace, the Chu State's temporary court meeting had ended. The court was divided into two groups. One group believed that the Wanyan tribe should be supported. The black barbarians were a truly barbaric race. If the Wanyan tribe was conquered by them,
, their next target must be Chu State.
By then, Chu's situation will become even more dangerous than it was a few years ago.
Others insist that although Heiman is powerful, the Sushen people are not vegetarians. If they want to eat Wanyanbu, Heiman will have to pay a huge price.
At that time, the Chu State can take action to maximize its interests.
There is nothing wrong with this idea. Between countries, there are no permanent enemies or permanent friends. There are only eternal interests. Choosing the latter, Chu State can gain the maximum gain at the minimum cost.
When Tang Ning saw Emperor Chu, he was pacing in the palace with a thoughtful look on his face. Apparently he had not made a decision.
Seeing Tangning come in, he looked at him and asked, "What do you think about this matter?"
Tang Ning said: "If Chu does not send troops, Xiaowan will send 100,000 troops to support Wanyan tribe..."
"Why?" Emperor Chu looked at him and asked: "Xiaowan is far away from Heiman. Even if they conquer the Sushen people, their next target will be our Chu country."
Tang Ning shook her head and said, "The Western Region is also bordered by the grassland. I still understand the meaning of lips dying and teeth falling cold."
Emperor Chu looked at him with deep eyes and asked: "Why do I think you have any selfish motives for sending troops so diligently?"
"Heiman is everyone's enemy. Helping the Sushen people is helping us. What selfish motives can I have?" Tangning glanced at him and asked, "Does your Majesty think it's because I have a crush on their female khan?"
