The servant who captured Ruan Zhengyu knew that the prince had compromised when he saw the prince put his body aside.
But this servant knew that the prince was powerful. Although he had not yet ascended the throne, he had already received the support of the civil and military officials of the dynasty. Even the king did not dare to do anything to the prince.
This servant did not dare to make the prince angry, otherwise he would be unlucky when the king died and the prince ascended the throne, so he hurriedly and carefully came to the prince's ear and whispered: "The Central Plains Heavenly Dynasty stationed troops at the border and sent them
The letter of credence required the king to hand over Ruan Zhengyu. The king thought that the two countries would be at war and people would be devastated, so he has already agreed to this request."
Narixuan was shocked when he heard the news. He knew the current national strength better than his father. If it went to war with the Central Plains now, Thailand would probably have no chance of victory.
As the crown prince of Thailand, he naturally cannot act on impulse. The interests of Thailand should be the priority now, so Prince Naresuan nodded and waved the servant away.
The servant took Ruan Zhengyu to a secret room in the palace, imprisoned him in the secret room, and then returned to the side hall to reply to the king.
When the servant returned to the side hall, he found that only the king was left there, frowning and thinking.
The servant came to the king and told him everything about what had just happened.
After hearing this, Tamaroja was noncommittal. He was both proud and wary of his son. He was proud that once this child ascended the throne, he would definitely bring glory to Thailand. He was wary that the prince now had the support of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
, has the ability to threaten its position at any time.
Fortunately, the prince still respects him and has no intention of usurping the throne. It seems that he has realized that he is old and frail and does not have much time left.
That night, the king returned to the harem and was talking to the queen. Suddenly he heard a commotion outside, and then a maid came in to report.
"Reporting to the king, the princess is making a noise outside, saying that she wants to see the king and queen."
After hearing this, King Tamaroja looked a little embarrassed. This morning he personally ordered Ruan Zhengyu to be imprisoned. His precious daughter must have heard the news and came to plead for mercy.
The queen next to her saw the king's embarrassment, so she gently advised him: "Your Majesty, things have to be faced. It's better to meet the princess. I think the princess is already quite old now and she must understand the king's intentions."
After hearing this, King Tamalaja felt that it was reasonable and hurriedly ordered the palace maid to bring the princess in.
As soon as the princess entered the hall, she first glared at the queen fiercely, and then came to the king to salute.
When the queen saw that the princess was rude, she didn't feel any displeasure on the surface. In fact, she was very angry in her heart. However, knowing that she was about to lose her husband, she put her displeasure aside and felt a burst of joy in her heart.
It turns out that the Thai queen is not the king's first wife, but the king's favorite concubine. It is because of this beloved concubine that the king neglected the queen, and finally the queen died of depression.
Therefore, several children born to the King of Thailand were dissatisfied with the Queen. If the King had not stood up in front of her, these people might have been able to do something.
After the princess saluted the king, she said to the king with a sad face: "Father, I heard that my father has imprisoned my husband. I hope that my father will take care of his father and daughter and release him."
, we husband and wife will never dare to have any inappropriate thoughts from now on, we just hope that we can spend the rest of our lives in peace."
The king's expression changed after hearing this. If he cared about his family ties, he might not be able to become the king. "Don't mention this matter again. I have made up my mind."
After hearing the king's decisive words, the princess knew that there was no hope, so she fell on the ground and cried bitterly.
King Tamaroja felt a little distressed when he saw his daughter like this. He stood up from the throne and lifted his daughter up to the seat next to him. Then he said to her: "This matter is related to Thailand's national destiny.
I can't promise you, but don't worry, from now on all your living expenses in the country will be paid according to the prince's etiquette. If you still want to marry again, you can choose from all the young talents in the country."
After the princess listened to the king's consolation, she slowly put away her sadness. In fact, she and Ruan Zhengyu had no love at all, but a political marriage.
Now that I heard the king's advice and expressed his intention to treat her well in the country, I could only leave it at that.
Three days later, during a great court meeting, King Tamaroja summoned all the civil and military ministers to the main hall to discuss how to reply to Jia Ke.
In the past few days, the matter about the Central Plains Credentials has been spread throughout the Thai civil and military circles, and everyone has been discussing it for several days.
The first person to speak in the main hall was Prince Narixuan.
"Father, princes, we cannot go against the will of the Central Plains Celestial Empire this time."
After Narixuan said this, she glanced at everyone and the king, and saw that they all nodded frequently. It seemed that they had no intention of confronting the Central Plains.
After all, this time Jia Ke frightened the countries in the southeastern peninsula out of fear. In a few months, he destroyed Annan, one of the three powerful countries that can tie with Thailand. According to Jia Ke's combat effectiveness, Thailand destroyed them.
It's not that difficult either.
Na Li Xuan was actually unwilling to hand over Ruan Zhengyu, because as long as Ruan Zhengyu was in his hands, he could use Ruan Zhengyu's name to cause trouble in the Annan land, and perhaps he could support Ruan Zhengyu's restoration of the country and make Ruan Zhengyu his puppet.
But the Central Plains army has reached the border, and this idea is about to be thrown out of the window.
Na Li Xuan continued: "We have to accept the overwhelming power of the Central Plains. After handing over Ruan Zhengyu, the country can still be peaceful."
The King of Thailand kept nodding after listening to the prince's words, and then said to the civil and military officials below: "What the prince said makes sense. Do you have anything else to say? If not, just follow the prince's wishes."
The people below have been at peace in Thailand for a long time and have no desire to fight against this behemoth in the Central Plains. Now they heard the king's intention and knelt down together to report to the king: "The prince's words are good words of gold and jade."
Tamaroja was relieved now. He was actually afraid that the prince would insist on fighting the Central Plains. Now it seems that the prince is still very rational.
So the king sent an order and immediately ordered people to put Ruan Zhengyu into a prison car and send him to the Alontai Camp on the border.
After the king finished handling these matters, he returned to the harem and breathed a sigh of relief. The king knew his prince's temper very well. He was able to endure it this time, which shows how resentful he was. When he was there
Thailand may be able to do without fighting, but if he is gone and the prince takes power, he may be at odds with the Central Plains within a few years. I don't know whether it will be a blessing or a curse.
Besides, since Jade was imprisoned, she knew that something bad was going on. It seemed that Jia Ke from the Central Plains did not let her go and continued to send people to demand money from the King of Thailand.
Sure enough, within a few days, he was loaded into a prison van and headed directly to the border under the escort of one or two thousand people.
Now Ruan Zhengyu was completely despairing. He originally thought that as long as he bribed Thailand's civil and military ministers, these people would be able to stay in Thailand safely, but he did not expect that these people would accept his money but not do anything.
After walking for four or five days, they arrived at Alontai's camp on the border.
Alontai met in the big tent with the young general who escorted Ruan Zhengyu this time - Anunnur.
"Has the king sent Ruan Zhengyu here this time? Has he made up his mind to call a truce with the Central Plains?"
"In reply to the Generalissimo, the King ordered me to convey to the Generalissimo that the Central Plains is powerful and we are weak, so we must not be aggressive. We can maintain the peace of the country by temporarily holding back our anger."
After hearing this, Alontai nodded expressionlessly. In fact, in his heart, he did not want to fight with the Central Plains army.
During this period of time, Alontai has not been idle. He has personally visited Jia Ke's camp several times.
I only saw soldiers from the Central Plains. They were all well-armored, with sharp weapons, high morale, and well-trained.
The most important thing is that there are countless cavalry in the Central Plains army, which is rare in the south.
If he were to fight with this force, Alontai believed that these people under his command might not be his opponents. If he were defeated, Thailand's elite would be wiped out in one fell swoop.
After Alontai received Ruan Zhengli, he wrote a letter on the spot and had it sent to Jia Ke's camp opposite.
Jia Ke has been standing still for the past few days and has not made any provocative actions. After about ten days, suddenly one day he received a report from the soldiers below, saying that it was sent by the Thai general from the opposite side.
letter.
After Jia Ke ordered his people to present the letter, he opened it and found that the King of Thailand had promised to return Ruan Zhengyu, and then the two countries would stop fighting and live together forever.
Jia Ke has achieved brilliant results this time when he went south, destroying Annan and conquering Cambodia. These results will take some time to digest, and he has no plans to continue to move westward.
Jia Ke did not hesitate and wrote a letter, in which he agreed with the other party's general to receive Ruan Zhengyu in front of the battle in three days.
After Jia Ke finished writing the letter, he ordered someone to forward the letter to the envoy and asked him to return it to the marshal of Thailand.
The generals on both sides contacted each other through letters several times, and finally decided on the time to hand over to Ruan Zhengyu.
Three days later, Jia Ke led 30,000 troops and arrived at the border as agreed.
Alontai has been waiting here for a long time with 30,000 people.
After Jia Ke arrived, he looked at the opposite side. Although the soldiers were standing fairly neatly, most of them were not wearing armor and were just wearing cloth clothes.
Jia Ke urged the fire dragon colt, came to the formation and shouted to the opposite side: "The general on the opposite side comes out to talk to you."
Alontai heard someone shouting from the opposite side, and asked the interpreter next to him. Knowing that it was the opponent's general, he asked himself to go and talk to him, so he took an interpreter and rode his horse to the front of the formation.
When Jia Ke saw the opponent's general coming out, he immediately handed over his hand and said, "Jia Ke is polite here. The person opposite is Thai Marshal Alontai."
Alontai also quickly returned the courtesy and said: "No, that's right."
"Your country understands its righteousness and handed over the traitor Ruan Zhengyu. I am here to express my gratitude to the king of your country on behalf of my emperor."
Although Alontai felt unhappy, he still endured the sadness in his heart, cupped his fists and raised his hands: "Ruan Zhengyu is in my formation, and now I will hand him over to King Yan Qiansui."
After Alontai finished speaking, he waved his hand behind him, and then a passage appeared in the formation, and a prison car was driven out of the passage with a bang. The person pressed in the car was none other than Ruan Zhengyu.
