"You have prepared everything, what else can I do?" The emperor was secretly happy in his heart, but pretended to be angry on his face.
The prince smiled nonchalantly, stood up and said, "If there is nothing else, I will leave." The goal was achieved, and there was no need for him to start a verbal dispute with the emperor. Even if he won, it would be meaningless.
"How many troops and horses are you going to take with you to Beichen?" The emperor hopes that Xiao Jiu'an will take away all his 40,000 people. If the troops and horses are taken away, if you want to come back again, then it is up to him, the emperor, to have the final say.
"Ten thousand soldiers and horses are enough, and the rest are still stationed outside the city. What is the emperor's intention?" Why did he send 10,000 soldiers and horses to Beijing?
Are you really threatening the emperor?
He, Xiao Jiuan, is not that shameless...
Although, he has been threatening the emperor with soldiers and horses.
"Liu Jiyun came down." Thirty thousand soldiers and horses is not a small number. The emperor is always uneasy because he has no hostages. What if Xiao Jiuan dies in Beichen and the thirty thousand soldiers and horses lose control?
How does he control those Yanbei troops?
Xiao Jiuan attaches great importance to Ji Yunkai, and Ji Yunkai also has some prestige among the Yanbei army. With Ji Yunkai in hand, he can not only restrain the Yanbei army, but also contain Feng Qi. This is a good move.
"By the way, I heard that the emperor wants to establish a queen and choose a concubine. What does the emperor think of me, the princess of Yanbei?" If you want a hostage, he will give it to you.
The emperor frowned and did not answer...
Princess Shiqing is already a useless chess piece, and his queen will never be Princess Shiqing.
However, the prince did not give the emperor a chance to refuse. He said half threatening and half serious: "Your Majesty, Yan Bei needs the trust of the court."
Marriage is the best form of trust. The marriage between the imperial court and Yanbei is enough to appease the uneasy hearts of ordinary people in Yanbei.
"She has expelled herself from the Xiao family." The emperor does not want to marry Princess Shiqing, but Xiao Jiuan also makes sense. His hostility towards Yan Bei has been too obvious recently. Now that he does not want to take action against Yan Bei, he must appease Yan Bei.
north.
"Yanbei is the Yanbei of the Yanbei people, not the Yanbei of the Xiao family. Even if she has expelled herself from the Xiao family, she is still the Shiqing Princess of Yanbei and the Shiqing Princess of the Yanbei people." Prince Wang.
He spoke loudly and authentically, and this also represented his attitude towards Princess Shiqing.
"She previously ate and lived with men in the army, and her moral character was not good. She can be a concubine, but cannot be a concubine." The emperor knew that his harem must have a woman from Yanbei, so why not accept a woman of unknown identity?
A considerate woman, the emperor doesn't mind leaving Princess Shiqing in the harem.
But it must be a concubine, not a queen. The concubine is just a concubine who spends money to keep in the harem, but the queen is the face of Tianqi.
"My Xiao Jiu'an's sister will not be a concubine, even if she is a royal concubine. Even if she drives herself out of the Xiao family, she is still my Xiao Jiu'an's sister." He said that he was unwilling to take responsibility. Did he see...
Xiao Shiqing's responsibility is really no ordinary trouble.
"She is no longer your sister." The emperor emphasized again, but the prince pretended not to hear it and said: "Your Majesty, can you give me an accurate word? Do you want to establish Shiqing as your queen?"
"No!" The emperor refused firmly.
The position of queen can help him win over a party of power, so it would be a great loss to give the post to Shiqing.
"Okay..." The prince did not bother any more and bowed his hand to the emperor: "I am looking forward to... the woman whom you have appointed as your queen. I will take my leave."
Calling himself "my king" again, it can be seen that the prince is not happy. The emperor heard it and knew that there must be something fishy in the prince's sudden retreat. But in this situation, he can only pretend to be stupid unless he relents and makes Shiqing his queen.
.
When the prince turned around, he paused and glanced at the emperor's left and rear with an unpredictable look. That glance was meaningful. For a moment, the emperor thought that Xiao Jiu'an had discovered his plan. Fortunately, Xiao Jiu'an just glanced at it and walked out.
There is no intention to cause trouble.
After the prince left, a man in black walked out from the rear left side of the emperor. The man knelt in front of the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, King Yanbei discovered us."
There are a total of twelve people behind the emperor. They are all disciples trained by Li Yuan. Any one of them is one of the best in the world. The emperor summoned them today because he was preparing to strike first and take the risk to ambush Xiao Jiu'an.
He knew that there were 40,000 Yanbei troops outside the city, but Xiao Jiuan could not stop him. Instead of letting Xiao Jiuan lead the troops into the palace, he might as well strike first and kill Xiao Jiuan first, leaving the Yanbei army leaderless.
What the emperor didn't expect was that Xiao Jiuan had no intention of rebellion and even planned to go to Beichen.
Letting Xiao Jiuan die in Beichen is naturally better than dying in Tianqi.
Of course, he was not sure whether what Xiao Jiuan said was true, but he still wanted to take a gamble...
Bet Xiao Jiuan didn't want to rebel, so he didn't let anyone take action, but let Xiao Jiuan leave.
After all, if he takes action today, Yanbei's army will definitely counterattack.
"I hope my choice is not wrong." After hearing the report of the man in black, the emperor felt a little uneasy in his heart.
He was afraid that Xiao Jiu'an knew there was someone behind him, so he deliberately said he didn't want to rebel, and he deliberately said he wanted to go to Beichen.
However, as long as Xiao Jiuan is willing to go to Beichen, he doesn't mind giving Xiao Jiuan another chance.
"Follow him... Once he enters Beichen territory, find a way to kill him." The emperor closed his eyes and ordered coldly.
How could he allow others to sleep soundly under the bed? He would never be able to rest assured that Xiao Jiuan would not die.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The man in black took the order and retreated.
…
The moment the prince walked out of the palace unscathed, everyone in the capital who was paying attention to the direction of the palace knew it.
Some people boldly speculated that the emperor and the prince had negotiated terms, while others worried that Xiao Jiuan had murdered the emperor and was preparing to rebel.
For a time, there were various rumors in Beijing, but these had nothing to do with Mr. Ji.
He is sick now and will not appear in front of others for a short time. Whether it is the Six-Bud Reform or Daitian Xunxun, it has nothing to do with him. What he has to do now is to recuperate at home.
"Master, the Yun family went to the Yanbei Prince's Mansion today." Mrs. Ji served Master Ji and took the medicine, and then mentioned it unintentionally, "Do you think we should also go to the Yanbei Prince's Mansion? After all, Yun Kai narrowly escaped death.
Come back."
"No need. King Yanbei won't see us." Thinking that he fainted in the hall today, even his usual enemies came to help, but King Yanbei looked on coldly, Master Ji knew that he had lost a daughter.
King Yanbei valued Ji Yunkai so much. As long as Ji Yunkai still had some affection for his father, King Yanbei would not be so indifferent to him.
Mrs. Ji pinched the quilt's hand for Mr. Ji, her eyes were slightly red: "Master, with the current situation in our family...how do you expect Lan'er to survive in the palace?"
The Ji family is in a very difficult situation now. Ever since the emperor re-appointed Master Ji and ordered Master Ji to preside over the reform of the Sixth Department, the Ji family has not been unparalleled in the capital, but has been hindered everywhere. Not to mention how difficult it is for Ji Lan in the palace, Ji Ning, the legitimate son of the Ji family, has been sought out by the academy.
I made a mistake and was kicked out.
The Ji family has almost no place in the capital. Previously, the emperor wanted to re-employ Mr. Ji, but those people did not dare to move. Now that Mr. Ji is useless, the emperor cannot protect the Ji family. Will those people let the Ji family go?
