The prince has always been very efficient, but lately his thoughts have been all on Ji Yunkai, and he doesn't have the spare time to take care of those messy things.
Now that Ji Yunkai had spoken, the prince would not be lazy anymore. He went to the palace early the next morning and asked the emperor to settle the matter of the medicine sect.
"The investigation into the medicine sect is still going on. King Yanbei, don't be too impatient." Regarding Ji and Yun's families, they have suffered a big setback. Now that the emperor looks at the prince, he doesn't like him, so naturally he will
I don’t want to fulfill the prince’s wish.
The emperor is tough, but the prince is not afraid: "Your Majesty, my ten thousand soldiers and horses are still waiting to accompany me to Beichen. I can't guarantee that they can't wait for me, so what will I do?"
What benefit would it bring to the emperor to keep him in the capital?
Only the emperor would do such a stupid thing to make a decision that is not beneficial to him because of a dispute of temper.
Sure enough, he is still too young and has experienced too little.
"Are you threatening me?" The emperor squinted his eyes with a cold light.
"No, I'm just telling the emperor that my goal is Beichen." Even if he wanted to ascend the throne and become emperor, he never thought about becoming emperor in Tianqi.
His mother...despite all the bad things she did, she gave birth to him and raised him, and he would not do anything that would cause her to die without peace.
The thing she regretted most before her death was that she was sorry for the country of Tianqi. Even if it was to make her feel at ease after her death, he would not take action against the emperor.
Of course, being easy is not absolute. He, Xiao Jiuan, would never compromise for anyone, and that was not Xiao Jiuan's style of doing things.
"The Yun family's matter..." the emperor said, trying to make conditions on this matter.
"Your Majesty, the ministers of the Yun family have never taken the initiative from the beginning to the end. If they hadn't stupidly bullied my princess, do you think I would be willing to spend time cleaning up that kind of garbage?" The prince made no secret of his feelings for the Yun family.
disdain and contempt.
"I will no longer interfere with the affairs of the Ji and Yun families. You can do whatever you want, Your Majesty." All Ji Yunkai wanted was to protect Mr. Ji's life, which was not a difficult task for him.
"I hope you will do what you say." The emperor raised his head and glanced at the top of the palace without leaving any trace, and then quickly lowered his eyes to prevent the prince from seeing his actions.
At the top of the hall, there is a cage made of black iron, hidden in the roof. It has been made for several days, just waiting for Xiao Jiuan to enter the palace.
Now, Xiao Jiuan has entered the palace, but the emperor hesitates...
Taking action now would mean breaking up with Xiao Jiu'an, leaving no room for maneuver.
On the contrary, if Xiao Jiuan is asked to go to Beichen and someone takes action in Beichen, there will be no trace of him. Even if Xiao Jiuan does not die in Beichen and comes back alive, it will not be too late for him to take action...
The emperor thought so in his heart and did so. He immediately suppressed the urge to take action and started bargaining with the prince.
What the emperor is most afraid of is the nearly 30,000 Yanbei troops outside the city.
After seeing the fighting power of those 30,000 people, the emperor regretted more than once, regretting letting Xiao Jiuan bring so many people into the city. It's just that it's easier to ask the gods than to send them away. Now that the soldiers and horses are already outside the city, it's too difficult to let them go back.
.
The emperor knew that there was no chance, so he wisely did not say this, but discussed with the prince to let the Yanbei army of 30,000 outside the city retreat thirty miles.
This request was not excessive. The prince did not reject it directly, but said, "Your Majesty, the Yanbei Army has not been given military expenses for many years."
He is not short of money now, but the fact that he is not short does not mean that he is willing to give up the court's military expenses.
The enemy is strong and we are weak. Leaving money to the emperor will only make the emperor stronger and threaten him. Taking away the emperor's money will leave the emperor no chance to develop, which is more beneficial to him.
"Tomorrow, I will ask someone to calculate the military expenditures and see how much money is left in the treasury." The emperor naturally knows that there are gains and losses. If he spends some money, he can make the Yanbei army retreat and keep the imperial city safe. He spent a lot of money.
!
Originally, this money should have been given to Xiao Jiuan. It was already very good that it was so late.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Yanbei Army will be at your disposal at any time." It's just a retreat of thirty miles, which will have little impact on him. After all, he can't guarantee that he will return to Tianqi Capital.
This place is not a good place...
After negotiating with the emperor, the prince bowed his hands and walked out. Before leaving, he glanced at the top of the hall and smiled silently...
If the emperor misses this opportunity, he may never have another chance again.
After all, if he knows, he will be on guard. It is impossible for the emperor to plot against him!
As soon as the prince left, a man dressed in black walked out, his face full of disappointment: "Your Majesty, why don't you take action?"
If they don't take action this time, will they have another chance in the future?
The King of Yanbei has gone to Beichen, and he may never return to the capital. When the time comes, others have gone to Yanbei. The mountains are high and the Emperor is far away, and they can't do anything to him at all.
"His 40,000 troops were circling near the capital. He tried to take action but failed...the consequences were disastrous." It wasn't that he didn't want to move, but the consequences were too serious and he didn't dare to take action.
"Your Majesty, we are fully prepared this time and nothing goes wrong. At this time, King Yanbei is unprepared. We have a great chance of winning." The man in black was the person who succeeded Li Yuan after Li Yuan left. He is also loyal to the emperor.
But he also has his own selfish motives.
For example, he wanted to use the prince to establish his power and establish his position in the emperor's heart.
"It's not enough to have a high chance of winning. What I want is that it will definitely come true. There is no guarantee that it will come true, so I won't take risks." The emperor had a firm look on his face and a resolute tone to hide the uneasiness and regret in his heart.
The moment Xiao Jiuan turned around and walked out of the palace, he regretted not taking action.
Just now, Xiao Jiuan was standing in the hall. As long as he gave the order, the iron cage would fall down and trap Xiao Jiuan in the cage. By then, whether it was arson or something, he would be able to kill Xiao Jiuan, but...
He thought about it but did not take action, he just watched Xiao Jiuan walk out.
"It's safer to do it in Beichen." The emperor said firmly.
Although the man in black hated that iron could not become steel, he did not dare to say anything. He just sighed silently, looked at the cage at the top of the hall, and then at the door of the hall...
He always felt that King Yanbei must have discovered something, otherwise it would not have been such a coincidence that when he entered the palace, he deliberately went astray and walked out of the iron cage.
However, all this is just his speculation. He has no evidence. Even if he told the emperor, the emperor would not believe it.
Their emperor was sometimes overly self-confident and sometimes overly indecisive. He really didn't understand how the late emperor taught him to be so "naive".
Compared with the King of Yanbei, their emperor is too immature... (To be continued)
