No matter how much power and ability a person has, it is impossible for him to know everything about the world.
When Li Xiangyang heard the news from the Japanese mission, the deepest feeling in his heart was that he felt like a fool.
As a prince, looking at the overall situation in the capital, almost no one can compete with him. Just when he thought he was sitting on top of the world and in control of the overall situation, he did not expect that the heroine he was getting married to was actually a fake!
The key thing is not a big secret. As long as you put a little thought into it and someone checks it out, you will definitely know it in advance.
But such a small and unexpected thing happened right under the prince's nose.
The omission of information was a dereliction of duty by a subordinate, but it is difficult to define who should be blamed for this matter. According to Li Xiangyang's current inner thoughts, anyone who has anything to do with this matter should be skinned and boned.
But this matter cannot be investigated. In the final analysis, whether it is a real princess or a fake princess, it has no substantial impact.
What's more important is that the wedding was held as scheduled, and the two countries have fulfilled their agreement on the surface. At least after today, and for some time to come, the relationship between the two countries will become much more harmonious on the surface. This is the prince.
His contribution to making the people remember this is more important than anything else. But what about the prince's own feelings? No one cares about this, and it is not important.
So, in general, looking at it from a rational perspective, the matter is actually not too serious, at least for Li Xiangyang.
But people always carry their own emotions, and it is impossible to be so calm and objective about everything.
Especially when it comes to men’s emotional issues.
After throwing the cup, Li Xiangyang squinted his eyes and looked straight ahead. His emotions did not explode, but he could clearly feel the depression in his heart.
Opposite Li Xiangyang stood a scholar.
Before the Japanese mission entered Beijing, the vanguard sent out provoked the Chinese scholars in a restaurant next to the Hanlin Academy and proposed a cultural meeting between the two countries. The name of Dahua was Zhang Liang.
At this time, he was secretly meeting the prince on behalf of the Japanese mission and informed the prince about the fake princess.
The mission given to him by the Japanese mission was not an easy one. If the Prince of Dahua knew that the princess was fake, and after the ceremony was held, everyone can imagine how the Prince would feel.
When the time comes, the prince will be furious,
He killed the people in front of him in a fit of rage, no one can tell.
The biggest responsibility for the loss of the key princess should still be placed on the Japanese mission, and the Japanese mission should give an explanation to the prince.
So this Zhang Liang knew his situation. His life and death were in the hands of the prince, and it all depended on the prince's mood.
I saw an indescribable smell in His Highness the Crown Prince's eyes, staring straight at me, which made Zhang Liang feel terrified and inexplicably nervous.
"Your Highness..." Zhang Liang tried to speak, but the prince did not answer. Instead, he drank another glass of wine and put it down again, which made Zhang Liang even more uneasy.
But Zhang Liang didn't know, why did Li Xiangyang have the intention to look at him now? It's just that Zhang Liang happened to be in front of the prince's sight, and the prince's eyes had already passed over this person, through the attic, and even skipped over the Xia Mansion and the outside.
Of all the buildings that stretched across the capital, his eyes fell on the end of his field of vision, the outline of the mountain shadows blurred like light ink behind the hazy snow scene.
Li Xiangyang was thinking that although the mountains at this moment were covered with white snow, in this situation, it seemed as if he could imagine that there was a lush green under the snow.
green……
Li Xiangyang wiped the sweat from his forehead. The sweat was dried, and he wiped his brows even more urgently.
When something like this happened to a dignified prince, he couldn't just tolerate it and pretend as if nothing had happened.
From learning about the real and fake princess to learning that Xia Shang had returned to Beijing with the real princess, it only took half an hour.
This incident instantly made Xia Shang less friendly in Li Xiangyang's heart.
If Xia Shang was considered a troublesome figure in Li Xiangyang's mind before, if he could establish a good relationship with him and keep him from causing trouble, he would have achieved the set goal.
But after this incident, Li Xiangyang didn't expect that this guy Xia Shang was so courageous that he would dare to steal a woman from him.
If you can snatch women now, you can snatch the throne if you can't protect them all. Who can say for sure.
Thinking about it, Li Xiangyang simply clenched his fists together, but on the surface Li Xiangyang still maintained his dignity as the prince of Great China. After a long period of gloom, Li Xiangyang suddenly sneered: "Ha..."
Zhang Liang, who was beside him, had not seen the prince's movement for a long time. Hearing his strange laughter, he was so frightened that he shivered.
"Prince...you
This is……"
"Envoy Zhang, at this time, are you still concerned about my prince's attitude? Have you never thought about who should be responsible for such a major mistake?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This is the responsibility of our mission."
"Have the Japanese side thought about how to give this prince an explanation?"
"Things have already happened, and no statement can change the reality. What meaning does the so-called statement mean to His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Now that you know it's meaningless, you still dare to tell me directly, what on earth are you Japanese people planning?"
"We just want to temporarily cooperate with the prince to get the real princess back from Xia Shang."
"cooperate?"
Li Xiangyang paused and suddenly laughed.
By the time of New Year's Eve, most of the guests at the Prince's Mansion had dispersed, and the representatives of the Japanese delegation who came to attend the ceremony also chose to leave at this time.
Things have progressed to this point, and the agreement between the two countries has been successfully completed.
There is no reason for the Japanese mission to stay in the capital. According to the itinerary, the Japanese mission will leave the capital on the first day of the Lunar New Year and return to Japan via Xuzhou.
But this is only some behavior on the surface. Whether the people from the Japanese mission will leave and how many people will leave are all unknown.
How many more troubles the Japanese forces will cause in Dahua territory is also something unclear.
The representatives of the Japanese mission had not gone far when an old man in simple clothes stood in front of the team halfway down the street.
The old man turned sideways and saw the people from the mission approaching, and suddenly threw out a package from his side.
The package seemed to contain a round object, which fell to the ground and rolled smoothly to the envoy.
The current mission is not the one when it first entered Beijing. In order to enter the palace to find the general outline of the Heavenly Book, the experts brought by the mission have been reduced to pieces. Now there are no powerful people in the group of representatives.
These people who came to attend the wedding all pretended to be frightened. When they saw someone blocking the way and dropping a package, they all froze on the spot. No one spoke, and no one dared to look at the dropped package in front of them.
"This is the prince's return gift to you. Keep it."
