Now think about it, any method can be used to gain the throne. And if Emperor Daqian is really a lame, this will be of great benefit to them in inspiring the morale of the army and making the barbarians more convinced that Daqian is stupid. , A mediocre person like this cannot admire the rich land of the Central Plains.
As soon as General Shajie said a few words, the second prince and princess knew the outline of the matter. Each of their faces could not help but show a look of pride. In their barbarian tribe, only warriors deserve better treatment and status, far less. For example, Da Gan people actually want to become an emperor even for a lame man. It is really ridiculous.
Ridiculous as it is, even though he looks down on him in his heart, General Shajie is right. A cripple becoming the emperor of Daqian is more in line with their interests in the rise of the barbarians, and they must complete this matter.
While talking, the war horses kept moving forward. Finally, the two sides met outside the West Ten Mile Pavilion. First, the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites came forward to check the mission documents produced by Sha Jie and proved the identity of the other party. At the moment, the two sides were quite confused. It was a feeling of joyful meeting. As for the eyes of the second prince Origi or the princess Oyadan, there was no sign of contempt for Prince Qing, which made Tang Tong, who was still a little nervous, feel relieved immediately.
After a brief exchange of greetings, King Qing expressed his welcome to the Western Barbarian envoys on behalf of Emperor Qianwen, and then everyone joined together and headed towards the looming towering Daliang City behind them.
The Western Barbarian embassy has entered Beijing.
Shen Ao, who was in the backyard of Xianweiju, got the news almost immediately. After the sisters placed in the restaurant by Bai Qiutong invested a lot of silver and established a standardized reward mechanism, some of the things that are happening in the Daqian Dynasty are now Unless the matter is particularly confidential, it will be discovered in advance, compiled into writing, and sent to Shen Ao.
Such news, Shen Ao just glanced at it and threw it aside. With his current status, the Western Barbarians, Japanese, Nanyue and Beidi have nothing to do with him. He still needs to make more money now. After all, the two-year period is getting closer and closer.
When talking about this matter, Shen Ao felt very melancholy.
These days, his aunt, Concubine Zhao, calls him into the palace more and more often. Originally, he was sixteen years old, so it was not easy for him to enter the palace as casually as usual, but after the Queen Mother granted him a marriage, his aunt Obviously, he regarded himself as an attached horse, and he didn't shy away from anything. Whenever something happened, he would sneak in and call him into the palace.
Every time, the fifth princess Tang Min was there. In the words of her aunt, if you cultivate more relationships now, your life will be more natural after you get married. Shen Ao said it bluntly, bowing his head and saying nothing. He even thought about it a few times. He wanted to speak bluntly, but when he saw his aunt's eyes full of expectation and the little stars that represented love in the eyes of the fifth princess, he had to keep his mouth shut.
"Where to go?" Shen Ao fiddled with a map in his hand. This was a drawing with a map of Daqian. It marked the entire twenty-four states of Daqian, as well as places such as Ximan. There are also notes on it, but the records are very simple. For example, there are no labels on the mountains and rivers that should be present on the landform.
But even this simple map was obtained by Shen Ao on behalf of the eldest princess. Do you want a more specific map? Sorry, this was not available at the time.
Holding a simple map, Shen Ao glanced around but could not find a suitable place for himself. He simply put it aside and closed his eyes again. It was impossible to marry Tang Min. Then I can only run away, but I don't know how the emperor will deal with himself after knowing this matter.
Should he let himself go? Or would he send troops to pursue him?
The former is naturally excellent. He can find a place where no one knows him and live his life freely. But if it is the latter, he must be prepared in advance, not to mention being an enemy of Daqian's army, at least so that they cannot find him. You can do it yourself.
Shen Ao was still thinking about what he would do when he turned eighteen, but he didn't know that trouble had already come to his door. The Western Barbarian Mission, which he didn't pay much attention to, actually took a fancy to Xianweiju and insisted on eating there. .
Prince Qing also had Guochanglong's membership card in his hand. It was sent by someone sent by Shen Ao. Although it was just a senior membership card and the level was not very high, it also represented Shen Ao's sincerity.
With the membership card in hand and the face of Prince Qing, there would be no problem even if he brought a few more people into Xianweiju for a meal. The problem was that the second prince Origi not only had to go in, but also brought them with him. All the followers, that is, more than a hundred Western Barbarian cavalry warriors, it is impossible to bring so many people with one card. More importantly, Xianweiju's business is very good, and it is impossible to have so many vacancies.
The second prince Origi just saw that there were many people in Xianwei Juli, and everyone inside was wearing brocade clothes. He intuitively told him that this place was good, so he must insist on dining here. As for whether there is a seat, that is It's not something he should consider. The worst he can do is to kick out all those people. What, the dignified eldest prince, His Highness Prince Qing, is standing nearby. Isn't this a good arrangement?
If you can't do this well, then why bother competing for the throne?
This posed a problem for Prince Qing. If it was just an ordinary restaurant, he would have booked it with just one word. Even though there were already diners inside, how dare he not give the eldest prince face?
Xianweiju is completely different. Firstly, those who can dine here are either rich or noble. Secondly, this is the property of Duke Zhongguo. Although this man is only sixteen years old, he is indeed very good at fighting. There are King Xiang and Lu in front of him. Home, the lesson learned from Bai Shenghou's defeat was there, he really didn't want to be an enemy of such a person.
If you win, you will offend others. This is causing trouble for no reason.
What if you lose, do you still need to lose face? If this is the case, don’t talk about the throne, I’m afraid it’s a matter of whether you can stand in the court. After all, a loyal duke who was hereditary at the age of 16 has to decide. How could the helpless eldest prince have the face to stand in front of the world? He was not as shameless as Prince Xiang.
He Yuan, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, could not help but feel overjoyed. He wanted to see how this person could solve this crisis.
"Second Prince, wait a moment while I go to discuss it." In the end, Prince Qing decided to go to the steward of Xianweiju to explain the situation, hoping that his status would allow him to make an exception.
His Royal Highness Prince Qing arrived, and Steward Shen Xing, who was in charge of Xianweiju, came out to greet him. The original professional smile on his face turned into a look of indifference because of Prince Qing's request.
"His Royal Highness Prince Qing, as you know, the guests who come to Xianweiju are all members of Guochanglong, and they are all rich or noble people. To be honest, Mr. Lu Yuanlu, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, is also here today, as well as some others. It would really be inappropriate to expel all the ministers in the DPRK."
After listening to Shen Xing's explanation, especially when he heard that even Tianguan Lu Yuan was present, Prince Qing's expression turned very ugly.
Since ancient times, officials have been in charge of officials, and there is a saying that the official is a higher level. Although the officials and ministers are the ones who select talents for the emperor and the country, it depends more on his preferences. It does not mean that you are talented. You can catch his eye. Therefore, without his approval, it is very difficult to be assigned a suitable position.
It is precisely because of possessing such power that the Minister of Civil Affairs is often called the Official of Earth and Heaven.
Once you offend Lu Yuan, the other party has many ways to shelve the officials you recommended, and the reasons are very legitimate, leaving you with no choice. Such a person is even a prince, so how can Prince Qing provoke him? ?
Of course, if King Qing knew that not only Lu Yuan was eating here today, but also Zhongcheng Hou Shen Yunyi and a group of generals were eating here, then he would turn around and leave directly, and would never provoke this hornet's nest.
This is not because Shen Xing is unwilling to tell the truth. In fact, he thinks that a heavenly official can explain everything, and King Qing will retreat in the face of difficulties. Who would have thought that just when the two of them were talking, the second prince of the barbarians Origi no longer wanted to wait, but got off his horse and led people straight towards Xianweiju.
With a saddle and a saber in his hand, he was confident that he could drive away all the guests here. As for what consequences it would cause, he was a member of the Western Barbarian Envoy Group and the second son of the Barbarian King. Unless Da Gan wanted to Go to war with the barbarians, otherwise, who would dare to do anything to him?
He walked toward Xianweiju with long strides. Standing at the door, two female waitresses wearing cool clothes greeted each other with smiles and stretched out their right hands as if to ask for their membership cards.
How did Origi know these rules? When he saw two graceful women approaching him, he thought it was his charm that attracted them. He couldn't help laughing and came over, then stretched out his arms, While the two women were stunned, one on the left and the other on the right held him in his arms.
This behavior is really normal among the barbarians. Even if a capable man has several women at the same time in one night, he will not say anything. On the contrary, everyone will envy him and think that he is very strong and capable.
The same thing happened in Daqian, especially in Xianweiju, but the truth was completely different. A waiter saw someone openly hugging the waitress in his arms, and laughed proudly, with a big face. He changed, turned around and trotted towards the kitchen.
Origi, who still didn't know that he had broken the rules, was laughing proudly at this time. During this period, he didn't even forget to look back and showed a proud smile, which attracted the attention of a group of barbarian followers. The sound of laughter.
