A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 396 Only Generals Who Died in Battle, No Princesses Who Married! (two more)
"What's the matter?" Qi Wenyan asked as the two put on the reins.

However, Feng Lin subconsciously glanced at Yun Cheng first, hesitant to speak.

Qi Wenyan said: "Speak directly if you have something to say."

Only then did Feng Lin report with a dignified expression: "The news from the palace is that many courtiers in the court today have jointly petitioned for orders, asking His Majesty to reconsider the Dacheng royal family's request for marriage, and the two sides in the court are arguing... Your Majesty... "

As he said that, he couldn't help but glanced at Yun Cheng again.

Before he could finish speaking, Yun Cheng decisively turned his horse's head and ran to the palace.

Qi Wenyan's master and servant followed her on horseback and escorted her all the way to the front of the palace gate. Seeing her dismount and enter the palace, Qi Wenyan sat on the horse and did not move.

Feng Lin was puzzled: "Master, won't you go in together?"

he goes in?What are you doing in there?Do you want to get married together?

Qi Wenyan snorted a sneer, but turned his horse's head again: "Let's go back first."

Feng Lin hurriedly followed him: "Is it really okay to let Her Royal Highness go in by herself? The situation will get out of control, so don't let anything happen."

"As long as Your Majesty's attitude is firm, there will be no suspense about the final outcome of this matter." Qi Wenyan's face was stern, and his tone was obviously cold.

The emperor's control over the court is still strong.

For decades, the power of the three frontier armies has been firmly in his hands. As long as the military power is not lost, no one can really beat him.

only--

Dacheng pointed the finger at Yun Cheng, and this point alone was enough to annoy Qi Wenyan.

He went home with a dark face all the way.

Feng Lin knew that he was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to say anything.

When the master and servant turned into the alley, they saw the carriage of the Marquis of Changning parked there, and Qi Huan, who was wrapped in a snow-white fur cloak, was standing at the door waiting.

"It's Missy." Because Qi Wenyan was not in the right mood, Feng Lin reminded him.

Qi Wenyan raised his eyes and glanced at Qi Huan, still with a cold face lacking in interest.

When he got off his horse at the door, he threw the whip to Feng Lin with a wave of his hand. He only glanced at Qi Huan and walked straight to the door: "Go in when you're here, what are you doing here?"

Qi Huan didn't answer, but just followed him inside.

The two uncles and nephews, one in front of the other, waited until they turned the screen wall and walked up the corridor beside the lotus pond, when Qi Wenyan stopped in his tracks.

Qi Huan was distracted at first, thinking about things with his head down, he was careless for a moment and almost bumped into him, but fortunately he stopped in time when he was half a step away.

She raised her head and met Qi Wenyan's gaze: "I heard from the concierge that Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoyang came back early this morning. Has she returned to the palace?"

Qi Wenyan felt that what she said was nonsense, and if she didn't answer, it was tantamount to acquiescing.

Qi Huan knew what kind of temper he had, and he didn't care about him as much, but thought seriously and said: "I have also heard the disputes in the court today, although His Majesty will definitely not compromise, but they have led the public opinion to Princess Zhaoyang His Highness also has malicious intentions. King Rui's push is behind this incident, but I think the so-called marriage proposal is just a cover, it's nothing more than their ulterior motives, third uncle, don't be too anxious to get angry. "

Qi Wenyan twitched the corners of his mouth with a half-smile when he heard the words. He was a little aroused and asked back, "Why do you know that?"

Qi Huan pretended to make a serious analysis: "During this period of time, I was locked up at home and had nothing to do. I also studied it carefully. King Rui's character is extreme and extreme, and because His Majesty naturally favors the crown prince, he is on the way to seize the heir apparent. There are many difficulties, and he has always been at a disadvantage. He is now pointing the finger at Princess Zhaoyang, and there is no lack of intention to vent his personal anger. After all, it is well known that His Majesty loves Her Highness the Princess as much as the Crown Prince. He encouraged Yu Wencang to attack the Princess , to a large extent, it also means to retaliate against His Majesty and want to push the princess to the forefront."

Yun Heng's dark and extreme character is inferred from the content of the original book that she has not read much. After all, she has never dealt with that person directly in reality.

Yun Heng hated his own status as a concubine, which caused him to be separated from the throne by all kinds of difficulties and dangers. He hated the emperor who handed over the throne in front of the prince, and also hated Yun Cheng, the concubine princess who was loved and grew up wantonly and carefree.

He hates everything that is nobler and better than him...

This is also the fundamental reason why he has never been able to put Ye Xunyi in his heart in his previous life, because he has always looked down on Ye Xunyi, who is as concubine as him, and being with him will only increase his inferiority complex and pain.

And now, if you ask Dacheng if he is sincere about marrying Yuncheng?Naturally, not only was it insincere, but even if the emperor was forced to agree, he would suffer even greater humiliation in the future.

Dacheng Yuwencang is an ambitious person in power, he has only one purpose, and that is to move his army to the north and expand his empire. The so-called marriage——

It's just a reason to force Dajin to open the country and help him break through the blockade of Yanling Pass.

If Dajin agrees to marry, then the two countries will have to open their doors to see off their relatives, and the blockade of Yanling Pass will be broken by itself.At the same time, they poisoned the emperor. Regardless of whether the emperor died directly or was dying of a serious illness, the people in the Great Hajj Dynasty were either panicked or chaotic. As long as everyone's thoughts were concentrated in the court, relative At the border, they will have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

In order to reach a cooperation, Yun Heng may have promised to cede part of the country to Yu Wencang as a reward, but with their personalities——

This so-called cooperation treaty will only be a decoration.

Yu Wencang will not stop at any benefits that Yunheng promised him, and Yunheng is not Yunzheng, his heart can only use the foreign troubles created by Yuwencang to help him seize the throne, and it is absolutely impossible to be willing to be a A puppet coerced or even controlled by Yu Wencang.

Now the two are collaborating with each other, but at the same time——

Also compete all the time!
In any case, Yuwen Cang won't lose out if he grabs more and grabs less, but Yun Heng has the mentality of being a dead horse and a living horse doctor.

They are all crazy. In order to achieve their own goals, they don't care whether the world will be chaotic, or whether the whole situation will directly get out of control to the point of no return.

For the throne, for power, no one cares about the life and death of ordinary people.

Although Qi Huan knew that so far the whole situation was still under the control of the emperor and the empress, but recently there were a lot of gossip on the street, and she seemed to be in chaos, and she was really not at ease in her heart.

Hearing what she said up to this point, Qi Wenyan's emotions softened slightly.

He looked at his niece, and asked with great interest: "You are a girl, you don't embroider and study at home, and you ask people to keep an eye on the movement of the court? Gu Zhan is also serious, the few he left for you The guards have no backbone? They will do whatever you tell them to do? Just leave it to you to mess around like this?"

If only relying on Qi Huan's own connections, it would be impossible for him to grasp the movements of the court so accurately. It was obvious that he used the manpower Gu Zhan left for her as a bridge to inquire.

Qi Huan actually knew that if the fire burned on Yun Cheng, it was absolutely impossible for Qi Wenyan to stay out of it.

But the route he took in this life is different from the original book after all. In the original book, he should have returned to Dacheng after being expelled by the Qi family, and used his biological father's old connections to regain control of the army. It is the real cost of straightening your waist.

But now...

He is just a civil servant who is idle at home.

Qi Huan was not sure about the degree of his penetration in the Dacheng Dynasty, and now he really has no idea.

But seeing that he still had time to joke around at this time, Qi Huan felt a little more at ease.

She said: "I don't want to worry too much, but my father always sighs and worries about your marriage. Gu Zhan told me before that Dacheng's Yu Wencang is a militant lunatic, and now Yun Heng is also crazy Now, I plan to give it a go... Barefoot people are not afraid of boat shoes, and I am also afraid that if the situation gets out of control..."

Qi Wenyan raised his eyebrows, and interrupted her directly: "That Qin Song of Marquis Wucheng's mansion, didn't he listen to you? As long as you make sure you don't lose the chain and hold him, the whole situation will not get out of control. The Yanling Pass in the southern border is the key... as long as that pass is still there, no matter how high Yu Wencang and Yun Heng jump, they won't be in chaos."

He really...

Know everything!

When Qin Song left Beijing, Qi Wenyan saw through her intention to catch up with her.

Qi Huan also admitted that when she came out to find Qin Song, part of her intention was to use Qin Song's feelings for her to put pressure on him. .

Qi Wenyan saw that she suddenly bowed her head in embarrassment and stopped speaking, and realized that what she said was a bit serious.

So he followed him and changed the subject: "It doesn't matter, even if the kid from the Qin family loses the chain, Yu Wencang can't fight him."

He said this with certainty, but there was a bit of understatement and teasing in his tone.

Qi Huan couldn't care about his petty emotions anymore, he suddenly raised his head and looked at him with burning eyes.

The smile lines on the corners of Qi Wenyan's lips remained unchanged, but his dark pupils were icy cold, but he didn't explain anything in detail to Qi Huan, he just said: "Go home, take care of the door, and watch over your father. mother."

After a pause, he looked back at the direction of the inner house and said, "Brother Chen will stay with me for the time being, and ask him to stay for a while."

With Qi Yuanchen on his side, Qi Huan felt at ease.

She also knew Qi Wenyan's temper, and since he didn't want to reveal too much information to her, Qi Huan stopped pushing.

After leaving the Qi Mansion, she was supposed to go directly back to the mansion, but she changed her mind on the way and asked Lao Jing to drive to the Tongji Medical Center to pick up Dr. Hu, mother and daughter, and take them to the Hou Mansion for a temporary stay. .

Chi Yunchuan was in charge of the Northwest Army, and after the new year, he had already set off to go back on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year.

Recently, because of Dacheng's marriage proposal, some people on the street were really in a panic. The medical center was supposed to reopen today for medical treatment. To be cautious, Dr. Hu didn't open the door either.

Qi Huan went to pick them up. After a little deliberation, she simply packed up her luggage. The mother and daughter locked the door and got into Qi Huan's carriage.

In the Qi Mansion Gate, as soon as Qi Huan left, Qi Wenyan changed his face again, and called Feng Lin: "Once there is an answer from Dacheng, please let me know immediately. Make the most of it."

How to stop Yu Wencang's ambition?

Just let him die directly, so what's the twists and turns? !

Qi Wenyan has a good grasp of this matter, and he is confident, but what he doesn't know is that the situation above the court at this time is also somewhat beyond his control.

Because the emperor fell ill after New Year's Eve, and the situation was not optimistic, some courtiers who were just waiting to see about the marriage at the beginning couldn't sit still when they heard the news.

If the emperor sat on the dragon chair safely and presided over the overall situation, then with the emperor standing on it, they could all be steady and not panic.

But now, although the emperor's physical condition is unknown to the outside world, he has not been able to come down for half a month, and even the concubines and princes can't spare the energy to summon him...

Under Yun Heng's deliberate efforts to create momentum and exaggerate the flames, many soft-boned civil servants were a little bit overwhelmed.

after all--

The fiasco at the Dacheng border [-] years ago left everyone with lingering fears. Over the years, Dacheng was like a country of tigers and wolves in the hearts of most of Dacheng's subjects.

Now seeing that the emperor is seriously ill, he might die soon, the prince is young and his roots are still shallow, Dacheng is eyeing him, and the situation can be stabilized and stabilized with only one marriage, so why bother to provoke foreign troubles at this time?
"Your Majesty." A group of courtiers headed by the Minister of Rites persuaded earnestly: "The ministers know that Her Majesty is the jewel in the palm of His Majesty's palm. Your Majesty has a loving father's heart. It is human nature to be reluctant to marry Your Highness far away. To marry, especially now for state affairs... Her Royal Highness is enshrined by all people, and has been favored by His Majesty for many years, and now I need her to help me during the Great Hajj..."

Before the words were finished, the British prince, who was handed down from a family of military generals, went back in displeasure: "Is this a normal wedding matter? That's Dacheng, who has been involved with our dynasty for decades, sending the princess to marry him? They This is clearly slapping me in the face! This kind of boneless matter, if there is one, there will be two, once a precedent of submission and bowing is set, how can we have any prestige among our neighbors in the future?"

Master Hong was so angry that his face was red, and just as he was about to refute, another courtier stood up and spoke for him: "The British lord's words are wrong, the so-called one time and another time, it is better to settle enemies than to end... "

Before he could finish speaking, another violent general stood up: "What's the matter? Mr. Lu, if you think getting married is a good thing, and I heard that your granddaughter is now negotiating marriage, don't bother." Let’s go to the discussion if you are far away, and the next official will take the lead to ask His Majesty for an order to make your granddaughter a princess. Your Lu family is not ashamed, you send her to marry with relatives, and forget it for the country and the people!"

All dynasties and generations have things to do with relatives, but it is generally rare for a real royal princess to be given. Most of them choose clan daughters, princes and noble daughters, and even beautiful court ladies, and seal a princess as a facade sign. .

Master Lu was already old, so he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, pointed at him and yelled directly at him: "You...you are so arrogant, you don't know what it means! And...and Dacheng is asking to marry the princess, a girl from my Lu family Although you don't mind sacrificing your life for the country and the people, but the people on the other side may not buy it, and then they will be self-defeating... If you start fighting, you will bear the responsibility?"

The military commander was not used to him either, and continued to reply with a sneer: "Do you still care if grown-ups buy it or not? After all, literati have no bones!"

"You... in front of His Majesty, how dare you speak nonsense and humiliate us civil servants..."

The two sides were at war with each other, and seeing that they were about to fight, the emperor with a dark face finally couldn't take it anymore, he grabbed the teacup held by Xiao Miaozi next to him and smashed it down hard.

There was a cracking sound, which finally completely silenced everyone.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Prince Yun Zhan took the lead and led everyone to kneel down in panic to plead guilty.

The emperor glared at them angrily, and he almost couldn't control his emotions when he opened his mouth and roared: "I have said long ago that marriage with relatives is out of the question, and I don't care what happened in the past dynasties. In three years, there has never been a peaceful situation in exchange for my daughter's marriage. Not only my daughter will not go, but even the daughters of the courtiers and common people will not be able to go. Never establish diplomatic relations with foreign countries in the way of marriage and repair. Whoever says one more word will be punished as treason, dragged out and beheaded!"

Although the emperor's words were so harsh that no one could refute them, once the two countries turned against each other and went to war...

The consequences are also unimaginable.

At this time, at least half of the courtiers still disapproved panickedly, only the emperor was angry when he said something like this, and everyone kept silent and dared not speak nonsense...

The emperor was obviously not satisfied with this, and glanced at the tops of their hair one by one. Seeing that they were silent, he asked again: "Are you all dumb? Talk to me!"

Everyone else was silent.

Yun Heng suddenly spoke without any warning, hesitatingly said: "Dacheng's envoys are still in Beijing, since the emperor has made up his mind... shall we send them back immediately? After all, even if the two countries are at war, they will not be beheaded..."

The so-called killing and punishing the heart, he was cryptically reminding the emperor and everyone that those belligerent adults are not to be messed with.

The emperor's eyes turned cold, and he stared at him just as he was about to scold again, when outside the hall he saw a man in red robe striding in.

Yun Cheng walked straight to the front of the crowd with a blank expression, and first bowed to the emperor: "Father!"

The emperor's expression softened instantly, and he said in a deep voice, "What are you doing here? Go back to the harem to accompany your mother."

Most of the civil servants were still unwilling to see the war. Seeing the appearance of the rightful lord, someone immediately regained their courage, and directly kowtowed and said loudly: "His Royal Highness understands righteousness, Dacheng envoys came to propose marriage and ask for peace." , His Highness is enshrined and loved by all people, and he should manage his own affairs in his position, and I ask His Highness to do his part for the common people and protect my country and people's safety."

As soon as the words fell, the emperor became furious again, and threw all the memorials in his hand: "You bastard, shut up!"

The emperor was already desperate.

The nurse was eager, and he seemed to want to get up from the dragon chair, but because he was really exhausted, he staggered and fell back to the seat as soon as he stood up.

Yun Heng winked.

The last few diehard members of his faction understood, immediately took advantage of the fire, took the lead to build momentum, and kowtowed in front of Yun Cheng: "Your Majesty is old and weak, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not yet grown up. !"

Others also echoed: "Your Highness, please share the country's worries!"

All of a sudden, it turned into an excited scene, and Yun Cheng was erected in public.

Yun Zhan also frowned and advised her in a low voice: "It's none of your business here, you go back first."

Yun Cheng didn't pay attention to it, she glanced coldly at everyone present, and then said with a strong voice: "When has this palace not fulfilled its duty for the country and the people? Ten thousand people worship, and they should give something back. Therefore, when your daughters and granddaughters embroidered and drank tea in the boudoirs of your daughters and granddaughters to enjoy the wealth and wealth, I joined the army at the age of [-] and has followed the army to suppress bandits, big and small, [-] times. There are one hundred and forty-seven bandits in the country, and there are more than ten scars. I have always been paid in the army, and when did I squander the blood and sweat of the people and my subjects?"

Her Royal Highness is indeed willful and arrogant, but she is indeed different.

Yun Cheng questioned and refuted face-to-face with such arguments, and the group of people froze on the spot again.

But the situation in front of us is not optimistic. If it is resolved, everyone hangs their heads and can't tell who is who. Then someone took advantage of the opportunity and said in a muffled voice: "But this time the big success is not good, if..."

"Father has just said that I won't set a precedent for this kind of marriage during the great pilgrimage!" Yun Cheng didn't pursue who was fishing in troubled waters, but she just interrupted the other party with a cold and decisive voice, "You all give this palace Listen well, my Great Hajj only had generals who died in battle, and no princesses who got married. Aren’t some of you here afraid that if the grown-ups make trouble in the southern border, they will harm themselves? I will guard it myself, if one day the cavalry of Dacheng accidentally tramples our territory, they will have to step over my bones before they can hit you!"

When the words fell, the whole court was silent.

After that, everyone could only see the blood-colored hem of the robe passing by with the sound of the wind, and Yun Cheng left in a hurry just like when he came.

Yun Heng knelt on the spot, clenched his fists, and the anger of jealousy and hatred welled up layer upon layer in his eyes.

Under his wide sleeves, he clenched his fists tightly.

He hated Yun Zhan and Yun Cheng brothers and sisters, hated their status of being favored by thousands of people and aloof from birth.

Not only did he want to ascend the throne and overlook the common people in the world, but he also wanted to trample these two proud sons of heaven under his feet, wantonly trampling on them, so as to relieve the injustice and unwillingness that had been pressing in his heart all these years.

but……

Time and time again things backfire!
He clenched his teeth, chattering.

A moment later, the emperor who was still on the dragon chair broke the deadlock again.

"You guys..." The old man should still be out of breath, and he wanted to explode violently, but he didn't want to cough up a mouthful of blood after opening his mouth.

"Your Majesty!" Xiao Miaozi exclaimed, and the entire court hall was in chaos.
