Chapter 855: The official ambassador of Chu, Xu Qing!
Emperor Zhou said, "What the Crown Prince said is reasonable. Prince Loulan is Princess Mingyue's future husband. It would be nice to stay away for a while. However, you, a servant, dare to slander me, Princess Zhou. You will be held responsible! For the sake of protecting the Lord, I think you will be held accountable."
First, pull down the 20-meter staff! Then proceed with the sentencing!"
Twenty imperial rods may sound like a small amount, but it is actually a very severe punishment. The person is replaced every five rods to ensure the strongest blow. I don’t know how many people who have died under this imperial rod since ancient times are really capable of beating.
dead person's!
And those who died could only receive thirty strokes of the imperial rod at most, and twenty strokes were equivalent to killing half the life of the black-clothed attendant.
There will be another sentencing next, and King Loulan will definitely not give a light punishment. If the punishment is light and Zhou Guoguo punishes Loulan on his behalf, then it may not be a matter of one person.
Although Li Mingyue is a concubine, after entering into the marriage, Li Mingyue represents the Zhou Kingdom. Even if she is married, she is still a royal concubine, equivalent to a permanent envoy in Loulan. How can she allow others to slander her?
This matter has been concluded so far.
Xu Qing and Xiao Ye went in to catch the thief, and the whole thing was framed by the attendants in black.
Although the prince's lie was full of loopholes, Emperor Zhou unexpectedly did not go into details. Instead, he simply transferred all the responsibilities to the attendant in black.
Perhaps in Emperor Zhou's view, it didn't matter what the truth was, as long as someone took the blame, and Princess Mingyue must marry to Loulan no matter what happened.
After the group of people came out of the palace, Xu Qing looked at the Crown Prince of Zhou and said, "The princess is frightened. I will send her back to the palace first."
But the Crown Prince of Zhou said: "That's wrong. King Loulan is the princess's fiancé. It should be sent back by King Loulan. I think in the past, it was just because he was getting close to the princess that he let him go."
If there is an opportunity for slander, if you use it at this time, wouldn’t it only increase the criticism?”
Li Mingyue shook her head and said: "No need to bother, Mingyue wants to go back alone."
Prince Zhou smiled and said, "That's good. Tomorrow, King Loulan and Princess Mingyue will go to the Plum Garden to enjoy the flowers and scenery to relax. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, why don't I be the host and invite you to go to the tavern for a drink?
Having a drink can be regarded as a drink to settle the old feud, so please give me this face."
Chun Heung House
Naturally, it was inconvenient for the third princess of this famous brothel to come in, so she had to go back home early.
Xu Qing looked at the Crown Prince of Zhou and said, "I never expected His Highness to hold the banquet in this brothel."
The Crown Prince of Zhou laughed and said, "That's wrong. This Chunxiang Tower is an elegant place where talented people from our capital can sing poems and have fun. We are all elegant people, so why not go into this elegant place to drink and have fun?"
King Loulan said: "What His Royal Highness the Prince said is absolutely true. Only people with a heart will see everything as dirty."
Xu Qing glanced at King Loulan but did not start an argument with him at this time.
Prince Zhou must have been a frequent visitor here, and he ordered some wine and food, all of which were local specialties.
Originally, Prince Zhou wanted to order some dancing girls to add to the fun, but he gave up the idea later.
At this moment, the Crown Prince of Zhou smiled and said: "I have pain in my abdomen. Please step away for now while you all continue."
After that, Prince Zhou went out, but after you went out, you didn't go to any bathroom but entered the next door.
He didn't believe that these two people could hold back and not quarrel! It was just a good time to hear the truth of the matter.
inside the house
King Loulan sat across the round table, looked at Xu Qing and snorted coldly: "I, Loulan, have traveled across the Western Regions for many years, and you are the first one who dares to play with me like this!"
Xu Qing looked at King Loulan and said, "Are you kidding? Let me tell you, maybe the walls in this place have ears. King Loulan had better be more careful what you say."
King Loulan sneered and said: "Today I have informed your majesty that I will invite the princess out every day these days to enjoy the flowers and scenery. As for the shame you have brought upon me, Loulan, sooner or later I, Loulan, will repay you!"
Xu Qing looked at King Loulan and said, "If you dare to touch half of Mingyue's hair these days, I will personally lead my troops to destroy you Loulan!"
Xiao Ye said from the side: "I'll help too."
When King Loulan heard Xu Qing's words, he laughed angrily: "It's ridiculous! You have led soldiers at your age? I'm afraid your hide is going to be blown! I, Loulan, destroyed the nine countries in the Western Region to have the current territory! I don't know why you are here.
What achievements do you have as an envoy of your country? Don’t bring disaster to your country just because you are young and energetic without knowing it!”
When Xiao Ye heard what King Loulan said, he pretended to be surprised and said: "You actually destroyed nine countries in a row? It's really amazing. We can't do it anymore. Since the founding of our country, we have only destroyed one country so far."
King Loulan snorted coldly: "Then you should know that Loulan is so powerful that just two envoys dare to threaten Loulan with rude words! Today you are adding to my shame, and I will definitely wash it away with your blood!"
Xiao Ye looked at King Loulan and said with a smile: "Yes, my country of Chu has only destroyed one grassland so far. Whoever destroys more countries will be stronger. There are few in the world who can compare with Loulan."
King Loulan snorted coldly: "It's good to know..."
As he was talking, King Loulan suddenly noticed something was wrong, and turned pale and said in shock: "Which country did you say you are from?"
Xu Qing stood up and said: "The envoy of Chu State, Xu Qing."
Xiao Ye also stood up: "Deputy envoy of Chu State, Xiao Ye."
Xu Qing looked at King Loulan and said, "Don't doubt what I say, I dare to do what I say!"
After saying that, Xu Qing and Xiao Ye left the table.
King Loulan sat in his seat for a long time before coming back to his senses. His forehead was already covered with cold sweat.
The Chu State is now recognized as the strongest country in the world. Even the grassland collapsed under the iron heel of the Chu State, and the Wanyan tribe surrendered allegiance.
During this campaign in the prairie state of Chu, three generals who sealed the wolf and lived in Xu appeared.
Act on behalf of the king, build an altar with earth, seal the heaven, and finally carve a stone and return it.
These are their dazzling auras.
The three people who were given the title of Xu Qing, Xiao Ye and a female general named Xiao Ruxue.
What they all have in common is that they are young, and they are too young to be ridiculous.
Xiao Ye is the eldest son of the wise king of Chu State, basically the crown prince of Chu State.
No wonder they didn't take Loulan seriously from the beginning. They did have the capital.
Offending Xiao Ye is no different from offending Chu State...
But how could he give up on Princess Mingyue?
For Loulan, he even divorced his former concubine!
Just to be able to marry the princess of the Zhou Kingdom as his concubine and rely on the Zhou Kingdom from then on, how could he give up so easily because of mere threats?
So what if they are the generals who sealed the wolf and lived in Xu?
There is also Zhou State between Loulan and Chu State!
And Loulan is now a vassal state of Zhou State. If they attack Loulan, they have to ask whether Zhou State agrees!
