The envoys turned their heads and exchanged glances in silence, thinking of four words at the same time, their lips dying and their teeth running cold.
They picked up the wine cup but had no intention of drinking. They originally came to congratulate the new Emperor Dongyou on his ascension to the throne, but they did not expect to witness the beginning of the war as soon as they arrived.
Although the Emperor of Western Xinjiang brought it upon himself, Dongyou, as the most powerful country and also the most ambitious country, has been the most feared existence in the eyes of other countries for so many years. All countries are closely watching his movements in order to prevent
Dongyou once again had the ambition to conquer the world.
Receiving the invitation this time was originally unexpected by all countries. Although many countries sent out spies, the transmission of information was inherently slow. The sudden appearance of Sicang, the prince, made it even more unclear. The spies had a hard time
After getting some clues and sending them back, I didn't expect to receive news of the new emperor's accession to the throne just two months later.
Fortunately for Dayong, after all, the marriage and friendship between the two countries can still appease people's hearts in a short period of time.
The Emperor of Xijiang was addicted to beauty and was immoral. The main purpose of coming to Dongyou this time was actually to marry a beautiful woman. This shows that he never worried about the survival of his family and country.
The most distressed person is Pei Yicheng, the crown prince of Southern Qi.
He originally thought that after receiving the news, many envoys came to Dongyou, and the authorities from various countries sat together to discuss and form an alliance, Dongyou would naturally have some scruples, and there would be no war within three to five years.
But no one expected that Xijiang would be the first to die, and even the reasons were handed over to him in a logical manner, which is so stupid that it makes people feel chilling.
Pei Yicheng took a sip of wine in silence. He once thought that Southern Qi was bordered by Dayong in the northeast and Xijiang in the west. The three countries could join forces to fight against Dongyou - no matter how powerful the other two countries were, as long as they worked together, Dongyou would never be able to follow Dongyou at the same time.
Three countries are at war, right?
However, no matter what plan, once it encounters a fool, it will be aborted and there will be no room for action.
There was silence in the main hall, and the expressions of the dignitaries from all over the world were ugly. Yun Chen didn't have much reaction to the war. He was angry with Yun Zishu and Sicang. He cursed the despicable and shameless behavior of these two people in his heart and hated their schemes.
His behavior in coming to Dongyou even started to worry that Yun Zishu would take revenge on him.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. Yun Chen turned to look at the two people in front of the hall and said calmly: "King Jing and the envoy of Dayong escorted Jiu Mei to get married. They did not return for more than half a year. My father and the ministers were all worried.
Now that Jiu Mei has become a queen, I should be allowed to meet King Jing."
Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows: "Didn't I tell you that Prince Jing is unwell——"
"He is not feeling well, so it is natural for my royal brother to visit him." Yun Chen said in a strong tone, "Does Ninth Sister want to stop him?"
Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows: "I have no intention of stopping it. However, King Jing's symptoms are not very good and he may be infected. If the prince is accidentally infected, he may have to stay in Dongyou for a year and a half.
, you have to be mentally prepared."
Yun Chen's expression changed, and he was about to ask why the disease was so severe, but when he was about to speak, he suddenly realized that Yun Zishu was threatening him.
King Jing was not sick at all, but was placed under house arrest by her. If he insisted on visiting King Jing, then he, the Prince of Dayong, would also be placed under house arrest.
What a Yun Zishu!
Yun Chen clenched the tea cup, his eyes were bone-piercingly cold.
The atmosphere in the palace was depressing, tense and delicate.
The Emperor of Xijiang was anxiously worried about his country and situation, and regretted coming to make this trip in person. If he didn't come, he could still run away when there was a war. There was a secret passage in the Xijiang Palace that led to the outside of the imperial city.
Enough food and gold and silver treasures have been stored in the secret passage for a long time. As long as he hides in the secret passage and brings the beauties in the harem with him, he can enjoy the same splendor, wealth and freedom as he did when he was an emperor.
When the war is over, he will observe the situation. If Xijiang wins, he can continue to be emperor.
If Xijiang was defeated, he would leave through the secret passage and flee far away with the beauty and gold and silver treasures.
However, he is now in Dongyou, and it is impossible for him to go back.
Pei Yicheng drank in silence. Firstly, he was angry at the stupidity of the Xijiang Emperor. Secondly, he was worried that Nan Qi was no match. Thirdly, he could not predict whether Emperor Dongyou simply wanted to teach the Xijiang Emperor a lesson or was using Xijiang as an excuse.
Start your ambition to conquer the world.
Because I can't judge, I don't dare to act without permission. Once I make a mistake, I may lose everything.
This gloomy palace banquet ended quickly. After the banquet was over, Yun Chen and his envoys were arranged to live in the East Palace, a palace that had been uninhabited for twenty years.
"Donggong?" Yun Chen frowned, "Shouldn't we live in Guanyi?"
"There are too many envoys in the palace, so we can't accommodate them." The Minister of Rites said in a gentle and polite manner, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen have a deep love for each other. Living in the palace allows them to be in constant contact with each other, and it is more convenient for them to talk if they want to."
Yun Chen sneered, is he deeply in love with Yun Zishu's brother and sister?
He wished he could cut Yun Zishu into pieces with a thousand knives. If he had known that they were colluding, he should have found a reason to kill Yun Zishu in Dayong at that time.
It would be even better if Sicang could be killed by the way.
Yun Chen thought of how Sicang was unruly and unruly when he was in Dayong, even daring not to listen to his father's words, and now he finally understood the reason.
As a prince of another country, he certainly has the confidence to be unruly, and he is so powerful in martial arts that he is in charge of the Shadow Pavilion and thinks he can make the emperor afraid of him - although his father is indeed afraid of him.
Yun Chen gritted his teeth and thought, Sicang is really powerful. As the crown prince of a country, he actually stayed in Dayong for more than ten years without anyone revealing his identity. He grew up in the Shadow Pavilion and suffered so much but never exposed himself.
His identity is really cunning.
The more Yun Chen thought about it, the more he regretted it. If he had let the two of them die in Dayong earlier, Dongyou wouldn't have such a shameless pair of emperors and empresses showing off their power and looking for reasons to start wars with other countries at every turn.
Yun Chen was dissatisfied. This dissatisfaction reached its highest point after arriving at the East Palace. Looking at the grass in front of him, Yun Chen's face was extremely ugly: "This is where I want to live?"
Is there anything like the East Palace here?
Eunuch Yuan Hai, who was responsible for bringing him over, smiled politely and said, "I've already sent someone over to take care of it. Prince Yun, please be patient."
"Didn't your emperor and empress live here before?" Yun Chen asked coldly, suspecting that Yun Zishu was deliberately making things difficult for him, "Why does this place look so deserted?"
Manager Yuan Hai shook his head: "The emperor and the empress lived in the Prince's Mansion outside the palace before they ascended the throne."
Yun Chen sneered, living in the Prince's Mansion?
Are you trying to fool him on purpose?
Thinking of what Yun Zishu had done in the past, and looking at the unpleasant environment of the East Palace in front of him, all the old hatreds came to his heart. Yun Chen said coldly: "I want to see Yun Zishu now.
You ask her to come over."
Yuan Hai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "The prince must be tired after traveling a long distance, so he should go and take a rest first."
