The Northern Barbarian envoy recalled the scenes he experienced in Yunxiao Kingdom, and suddenly had an epiphany.
On the pretext of borrowing food, the Yunxiao Kingdom not only extorted a lot of materials from their Northern Barbarian Kingdom, but also penetrated deep into the hinterland of their Northern Barbarian Kingdom.
They also arranged for the prince's disappearance among their Northern Barbarian emperor's confidants to be framed by the Iron Wolf tribe, and the emperor was separated from his confidants.
If there is no crown prince, at this time, the second prince returns to the royal family and naturally competes for the crown prince's position!
But how does the second prince plan to defeat the seventh prince born by Concubine Xin?
"Our emperor values the little prince very much. Even if the crown prince's position becomes vacant, it will not be the second prince's turn who has been missing for many years."
Chu Wenjin knew full well that the Northern Barbarian envoy's reminder was not only to test the depth of the Yunxiao Kingdom, but also to consider whether to betray the Northern Barbarian Kingdom and surrender to him.
"I dare to ask the envoy, is it more difficult to deal with Prince Kitano who has the Queen on his back, or is the young prince who has Concubine Xin on his back more powerful?"
The Northern Barbarian envoy didn't need to think carefully, he already had the answer in his mind.
Naturally, His Highness the Crown Prince is more difficult to deal with. After all, the Queen is the Emperor's first wife, and His Highness the Crown Prince has also occupied the position of Crown Prince for many years.
Thinking of this, the Northern Barbarian envoy swallowed his saliva. The Yunxiao Kingdom wanted to fully support the second prince in seizing the throne.
If the little prince blocks the way of the second prince, I'm afraid he will end up like the prince.
Now that he knows so many secrets, Chu Shangshu will never let him go back to tell the truth.
The envoy felt that his life was hanging by a thread, but no matter how desperate he was, how could he surrender to the enemy and betray his country?
Chu Wenjin seemed to be able to see through his mind and said:
"I don't want the envoy to surrender to the enemy and betray the country. I just hope that the envoy can be loyal to your second prince. After all, the second prince must be the future master of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom."
It must be? If he hadn't seen Jun Lingyun and Chu Wenjin's shrewd calculations these days, the envoy would probably sneer at them.
The Northern Barbarians had a strong army, but they were short of food. How could they be manipulated by the Yunxiao Kingdom?
But now, he felt from the bottom of his heart that the future Chu Wenjin mentioned was really not far away.
Besides, the current situation is not something he can choose. He has to obey. If he doesn't obey, wouldn't his life be in danger?
"Chu Shangshu, what do you want me to do?"
When the envoy asked this question, Chu Wenjin knew that it was done.
"The envoy only needs to explain to your emperor how Concubine Xin and her son sent people to assassinate Prince Kitano, and tell them in a more embellished way."
The Northern Barbarian envoy was stunned.
"It's that simple?"
Chu Wenjin nodded.
"It's that simple! However, should the messenger also prove your sincerity to me?"
The Northern Barbarian envoys must know some of the royal secrets.
The envoy naturally understood what Chu Wenjin meant. If he were to let him go, Chu Wenjin would have no choice if he went back on his word and revealed all of Yunxiao Kingdom's plans.
But if he reveals a royal secret and truly betrays the emperor, then it is naturally impossible for him to go with the emperor again.
"This happened suddenly. Let me think about it, Shangshu Chu. Isn't there still Bahu tribe that has not gone? Before you end your trip to the Northern Barbarians, I will definitely give Shangshu Chu an answer."
Chu Wenjin responded politely.
"Okay, I believe that the envoy can see the situation clearly. Our emperor is known for his bloodthirsty killing of gods. When you, the emperor of the Northern Barbarians, were able to send you as an envoy to our Yunxiao Kingdom, didn't you think that the envoy might not leave?
Return?"
Chu Wenjin's words severely hit the pain point of the Northern Barbarian envoy.
The envoy had to admit that the emperor sent him as an envoy to Yunxiao Kingdom first to explore the way for the third princess. With his life, he was lucky enough to survive.
Chu Wenjin watched the envoy's expression change and continued:
"Whether to be a chess piece that can be discarded at will by the side of the old master. Or to choose another good master, make a contribution to the dragon, and prosper from then on, it all depends on the envoy's thought."
After Chu Wenjin said this, he stood up and left, leaving the Northern Barbarian envoy alone in deep thought.
He originally wanted to leave some room for himself, but now, he has the urge to break and then stand up.
Chu Wenjin and Bai Xiao are progressing smoothly, but in the capital of Yunxiao Kingdom, there is an undercurrent.
The courtiers were counting the time. The emperor's culpable decree stated that the period of four months, when he was not close to women, was about to pass.
The Queen Empress has more than two months to go, and she should be pregnant for ten months and give birth to a baby.
At that time, the emperor will no longer have an excuse to shirk the issue of having a concubine. Which family can gain a firm foothold in the new dynasty and rise to the top will depend on whether its own daughter can live up to the expectations.
Recently, after the court officials went to court, the topic they discussed with each other became looking forward to the draft. It seems that the draft period is already around the corner.
"Mr. Chen, I heard that you have two legitimate daughters in your family who are waiting to be married. Which one will you choose to participate in the talent show in the future?"
"My little girl is not talented. She will just be there to show off her skills in the future. It's the same as anyone else. But Master Yan's daughter is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting, which is enviable."
"That is an exaggeration by outsiders. How can she compare with Prime Minister Cao's daughter, who is both talented and beautiful."
"Oh~, when it comes to both talent and beauty, which daughter can be better than the Queen?"
"The Empress is the leader of the harem. But the positions of the other concubines also need to be filled, right? We should not belittle ourselves. The Empress cannot serve the Emperor alone."
The courtiers complimented each other on the surface, but in private, naturally no one was convinced by the other.
The same daughter, as long as she is favored by the young and promising emperor and is included in the harem, her life will change. From then on, the family will prosper. Who wouldn't be tempted?
He is trying his best to improve the moral education of his daughters at home.
Thinking of ethics, the courtiers suddenly thought that there was a academy of ethics among the colleges in the world.
It just so happens that Tianxia College will start enrolling students after the new year as promised. Isn't this because someone handed me a pillow when I was dozing off?
Tianxia Academy is not only a royal academy sponsored by the emperor and queen, but also has an even stronger lineup of teachers.
Just like in medical school, the imperial doctors of Tai Hospital will give lectures on a regular basis.
In the martial arts academy, the emperor's attendants would take turns teaching martial arts.
In the academy, there are not only the bachelor Sikong Yu, but also the bachelor of Song Dynasty who has resigned and returned to the academy. Even the legend of the scholar world, Chu Wenhong, who was ranked second at the age of sixteen, was invited to teach.
In the etiquette academy favored by the ministers for their daughters, the ones who teach their daughters the etiquette are the nuns in the palace.
The lineup of Tianxia Academy can be said to be a gathering of the top people in Yunxiao Kingdom.
Therefore, not only the common people, but also the dignitaries are trying hard to get their heirs to enter the Tianxia Academy.
The daughter went there to learn etiquette so that she could win the emperor's favor in the future.
My son is going to school, the imperial examination high school, which is the glory and hope of the whole family! Of course, he must study with the best teacher.
After the admissions examination of Tianxia College lasted for several days, other colleges admitted students in order of their scores from best to worst.
Only the College of Ethical Education admitted students from the worst to the best, and the opposite was true. Naturally, none of the ladies from the courtiers' families were selected.
The pampered young ladies, no matter how you can rely on them, you must ask for an explanation!
