A loud noise appeared in the hall, and everyone looked up, including Chen Ping.
I saw a big hole in the pavilion above my head, and an agile man fell from the dome. As soon as he landed, he drew his sword and looked around, and an invisible aura spread out.
The originally menacing palace guards were frightened by this aura, and all of them looked panicked.
The officials and celebrities at the table retreated one after another, their fear palpable.
"Brother Luo?"
Chen Ping was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Luo Li to follow him all the time. After the King of Chu agreed to come to the capital to assist the government and entertained him for several days, but everything went smoothly, he told Luo Li that there was no need to risk entering the palace.
.
Who would have thought that something unexpected would happen this time? Not only would Nangong Ming appear at the Prince of Chu's Mansion, but Luo Li would also appear.
The scene was a bit chaotic for a while, and Chen Ping was extremely worried. The banquet, which was just fine, has now turned into a tense situation. How will it end next?
He didn't blame Nangong Ming. After all, although the other party broke in rashly and disrupted his plan, Nangong Ming had a reason for doing so. Chen Ping knew the harm caused by the barbarians.
I can only say that I am still too young, and the depth of this muddy water is beyond my imagination.
"Luo, Luo Li?"
After the chaos, King Chu frowned as he looked at Luo Li, who was descending from the sky, and asked. Although he didn't get a reply from Luo Li, King Chu's mood at the moment could not be said to be extremely bad, it could only be said to be extremely bad.
Thinking that the Prince of Chu's palace, which was so impregnable in Jiangling Prefecture, the capital of Jingzhou, was first forced to break in by Nangong Ming, and then was sneaked in quietly by Luo Li, don't you want to lose face?
This was like a slap in the face! And in front of all the officials and celebrities in Jingzhou!
"You shouldn't have interfered!"
"If I don't come, you will die!"
Nangong Ming laughed miserably: "You're just here to kill one more person, that's all. I'm determined to die, but even this insect can't survive!"
After saying that, he was about to stand up and rush towards King Chu. Chen Ping was just about to stop Luo Li when he took action before him.
"People from the Nangong family should die on the battlefield!"
Luo Li shouted loudly, causing Nangong Ming to stop. He glanced at Luo Li with complex eyes, and with his peripheral vision, he saw a group of elite soldiers emerging from behind King Chu, and stopped talking.
Seeing Luo Li holding Nangong Ming steady, Chen Ping took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a step forward.
"His Royal Highness King Chu, you should know the truth that when a man is angry, his blood will be splashed five steps. Both of them are the top masters in the world. No matter how many guards there are in the palace, they cannot absolutely guarantee your safety."
"This envoy came to Jingzhou on His Majesty's order to take His Highness to Beijing to assist in the administration. This matter is a personal grudge between His Highness and him. I hope this will not affect His Highness's decision."
"Besides, if His Highness kills him, is Your Highness ready to bear the Nangong family's anger?"
In the short period of time just now, Chen Ping's brain was running rapidly, he grabbed the few cards he had, and now he played them all at once, just to make the King of Chu retreat when he saw the difficulties, and to make this chaos as possible as possible.
to be eliminated.
Nangong Ming was so blinded by hatred that he and Emperor Tianqi had not thought about the choice of killing King Chu directly, but what was the price?
Let’s not talk about the difficulty of killing the King of Chu in Jingzhou, a territory that the King of Chu has managed for many years. Let’s talk about the chain reaction caused by the death of the King of Chu.
The officials of the King of Chu's faction will definitely not sit back and watch them being cut off one by one. Perhaps those officials who are at odds with the King of Chu will rebel, but a large number of officials who are inextricably linked to the King of Chu and know that they will not end well will immediately become uneasy and even set off a rebellion.
Rebellion is not impossible.
Secondly, other vassal kings will also feel threatened by this, especially when Emperor Tianqi's appointment is not long ago, and the Hulu in the north also tasted the sweetness after plundering people's money last year. Once Emperor Tianqi goes west,
These people will be ready to make a move.
At that time, a great chaos that will affect the whole world will inevitably occur, which is unacceptable to Chen Ping and Emperor Tianqi.
Therefore, even though the current situation is already very delicate, and one careless move will lead to a situation of eternal disaster, they still have to carefully balance it.
Everything can be temporarily compromised. After all, the most important goal at the moment is to stabilize the situation and gain some breathing time.
In the hall, Chen Ping's words fell into the ears of King Chu. His expression changed, and then he pretended to be calm and said: "Really? Can you see clearly what these guards are holding in their hands?"
"You said you were ordered to invite me to Beijing to assist the government, how can they explain it?"
"As for the Nangong family? Do you think I will be afraid of them?"
King Chu's answer seemed comprehensive, but Chen Ping caught a whiff of it.
That’s the taste of lust and inner eternity!
He drew an arc at the corner of his mouth, arched his mouth and nodded to express his approval of these words, then stepped aside and stretched his hands forward.
"Since His Highness has said so, I have nothing to refute, so please go ahead."
Please, please?
The corner of King Chu's mouth couldn't help but twitch. He glanced at Nangong Ming, who was looking at him eagerly, and Luo Li, who was indifferent and speechless, but he couldn't summon up his courage.
In his early years in the capital before going to Jingzhou to join the vassal vassal, he had heard of these two names, and their current situation was directly related to him.
Why does the Prince of Chu maintain so many soldiers and horses? It is to guard against possible dangers.
As for starting a rebellion? The King of Chu prided himself on being a smart man and would not resort to such crude methods unless absolutely necessary.
What's more, compared to seizing power through a mild coup, rising in rebellion to seize power will cause far more serious damage to Daiyu, and he knows this well.
It is indeed easy to kill Nangong Ming and Luo Li at the moment, but as Chen Ping said, blood will be splashed five steps in a rage, and he is not sure that he will be safe and sound under the desperate counterattack of these two people.
Moreover, killing Nangong Ming rashly at this time is definitely not a good signal to the outside world, and everything will be disrupted by then.
King Chu, hesitated.
Everyone in the hall saw this scene and felt the change in King Chu's mood.
Chen Ping never looked away from the King of Chu from the beginning to the end. Seeing him hesitate now, he felt happy. He knew that his move of retreating in order to advance made the King of Chu somewhat hesitant, so he decided to add fuel to the fire. p>
"Although His Highness has come to Beijing to assist in the government, it is the first time in this dynasty that a vassal king has been appointed as regent. Although King Chu has taken this initiative, aren't you afraid that other vassal kings will follow suit?"
"If Your Highness lets them go, it will not only show Your Highness's kindness, but also make the kings wary. This plan of killing two birds with one stone will be of great benefit to Your Highness."
Only speaking from the other person's perspective can best resonate with the other person. Chen Ping knows this well.
Moreover, what he said hit the King of Chu's sore spot, and what he said was a real issue, and it was by no means a lie.
As soon as Chen Ping's voice fell, the hall was completely silent.
