At this time, the imperial study room was filled with an overwhelming smell of gunpowder.
Anxious, violent, and furious.
"Which document is this?" Emperor Zhaoming looked at the important ministers in front of him, furious, "Why has King Jing not returned yet, and why has the document we sent to Dongyou not been answered yet? Tell me, this is
Why?!"
Chief Feng's eyebrows were furrowed, with an overly worried expression: "I am also worried about the safety of King Jing and Feng Ci. Could it be that the Dongyou royal family left them all in the capital?"
Emperor Zhaoming's eyes glanced across his face, and he couldn't help thinking that he didn't care whether Feng Ci came back or not. It would be better for him to die outside, but King Jing was the son he valued most. If he
If something goes wrong, who else can he use his empire for?
Pass it to Yun Chen, that waste?
Apart from being a substitute for Yun Ye, what role can Yun Chen play? He is not meant to be an emperor at all!
Prime Minister Wei spoke respectfully: "Your Majesty, Dayong is far away from Dongyou. Maybe King Jing was delayed on the way——"
"How long will the delay be?" Emperor Zhaoming interrupted him coldly, "Is half a year enough? Even if you leave for two months and come back for two months, it's time to return to Dayong by now! It's all over.
It’s been more than half a year. Not only has there been no sign, but I can’t even find out any news. What does this mean? It means that King Jing and the others are still in Dongyou and have not come back! They have not crossed the border of Dongyou at all. They are still in Dongyou now, whether they are alive or dead.
Emperor Zhaoming looked gloomy. Was he angry? He was anxious or worried!
A bunch of careless things, to put it really lightly, I dare not love your own son!
Emperor Zhaoming closed his eyes, tried hard to suppress his uneasiness, and tried to calm down his emotions: "Dear ladies, what do you think we should do now?"
"According to my wish, we can first increase the troops to the border pass to put some pressure on Dongyou." Feng Shoufu said calmly, "After arriving at the border pass, call the generals of Dongyou and ask them to return to the capital immediately to face the emperor and tell their king to let go
Return to King Yongjing——"
"This is absolutely inappropriate, this is absolutely inappropriate!"
Before Feng Shoufu finished speaking, Prime Minister Wei hurriedly interrupted: "Dongyou is a warlike country. If we increase our troops without authorization and anger Emperor Dongyou, the armies of the two countries will break out, and war will be inevitable.
This...this is absolutely impossible! Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Feng Shoufu frowned: "Is the Prime Minister afraid of Dongyou?"
Prime Minister Wei spoke righteously: "What are you talking about, Mr. Chief Minister? It's a trivial matter whether I'm afraid or not, but war has always been cruel. Once the two countries go to war, the people of the world will suffer. If you can avoid it, you should avoid it!"
The prince has been rejected for his incompetence, and King Jing is trapped in Dongyou. This is the best opportunity for King Qi to compete for the throne. It is a God-given opportunity, and Prime Minister Wei will not miss this opportunity.
On the one hand, increasing troops at the border could easily cause conflict between the two countries. Secondly, Xiao Yuanting was imprisoned in the sky prison without being killed. If the emperor came up with the idea of letting him lead troops to the border to punish his crimes and perform meritorious services, Yun Chen would have more leverage, which would be detrimental to the king of Qi.
.
Thirdly, if the emperor does not use Xiao Yuanting, then the Feng family and the Gu family are the most suitable generals to lead the army. No matter who performs meritorious service, it will not be of any benefit to King Qi. Besides, he is stepping up his efforts to win over the Feng family these days. As long as the Feng family can believe
King Qi will treat them well in the future, so it will not be difficult to get the Feng family to be their backing.
"This is not appropriate, and that is not okay. You should give me a plan!" Emperor Zhaoming said angrily, "I asked you to share my worries, but you can't think of any solution at the critical moment. What use do I need you for?"
Several important ministers knelt down: "I am incompetent!"
"You are indeed incompetent." Emperor Zhaoming said coldly, "If King Jing has any shortcomings, I will make Dongyou pay the price!"
Feng Shoufu knelt on the ground, thinking of the secret letter he had just received last month. His face was calm, but his lowered eyes were filled with depth and unpredictability.
For safety reasons, Feng Ci had no contact with his family after he left for Dongyou. It was not until last month that he wrote a letter back, using a method that only their father and son knew.
The legitimate princess successfully became the Crown Princess of Dongyou, and Feng Ci was training troops in Qihuang Mountain.
Another sentence is that Sicang is the prince of Dongyou.
The most critical information was revealed in a few words. While Uncle Feng Guo breathed a sigh of relief, he was also really surprised and shocked in his heart.
Sicang is the crown prince of Dongyou. This truth can simply overturn everyone's understanding. No one would have thought that Prince Dongyou had grown up in Dayong since he was a child and was in the most cruel Shadow Pavilion.
No wonder the princess has always been calm and confident, without any worry or anxiety about marrying in another country - she must have known Sicang's identity early on.
After receiving the letter, Feng Shoufu understood that Dongyou had nothing to worry about, and they only needed to keep a low profile on Dayong's side.
Others don’t require much preparation at all.
The Feng family has military power, and as long as they don't want to let it go, the emperor can't take it away.
Although Yun Chen's position as crown prince has not been deposed, he is already disliked in front of the emperor. The emperor does not depose him mainly because King Jing has not come back. Once the position of prince is deposed, King Qi's party will become more and more unscrupulous.
Winning over courtiers would be detrimental to King Jing.
It is said that the will of the Holy Spirit is unpredictable.
However, it is not difficult to guess what the emperor had in mind.
"Dayong and Dongyou are far away from each other, and it is not possible to get accurate news in three or two days. I know that the emperor is worried, but we should still keep this matter -"
"Does Prime Minister Wei feel a little uncomfortable standing and talking?" Feng Shoufu came back to his senses and turned to look at Prime Minister Wei, his tone cold and dissatisfied, "If your son is also among the envoys sending him off, can you say calmly?
What are you saying?"
Prime Minister Wei's expression changed: "I——"
"That's right." Emperor Zhaoming nodded coldly, "If your son was here, how could you still be so calm?"
Although he and Feng Shoufu had nothing to do with each other, how did Prime Minister Wei feel about worrying about his son?
But this didn't stop him from wanting to get rid of Feng Ci.
Prime Minister Wei was frightened: "I know I was wrong."
"Could it be that Emperor Dongyou and King Jing still have some objections to the negotiation of diplomatic matters between the two countries, which is why it has been delayed for so long?"
Emperor Zhaoming said coldly: "The documents we sent have not been answered. If this is really the case, why didn't Dongyou reply? Could it be that the documents never arrived in Dongyou?"
Several ministers were speechless.
Yes, no matter what, the fact that King Jing and his envoys have been gone for such a long time without returning home means a kind of uneasiness. Dongyou never responded to any messages, which made this uneasiness even worse.
What should they do to allow King Jing to return to Dayong smoothly?
