No matter what Yun Chen thinks, it can't change his current situation where he can't decide anything.
Yun Zishu's casual remarks were not taken seriously. A few days later, he sent someone to measure him. As for whether he could choose the right material to make clothes after being measured, and how long it would take to make a winter coat, that was not Yun Chen's idea.
It's under control.
As for beauties, it is even more necessary to wait for a suitable opportunity. After all, the maids are all women of pure origin. If they are favored by the emperor while serving, they will be included in the harem, and they will have their own status.
Those who do not have this opportunity will be released from the palace when they reach the age and marry on their own. What would happen if Yun Chen, a foreign prince, takes over? He will not be able to marry again in the future, and Yun Chen will not be able to take the person back to his wife.
status.
Of course, Yun Zishu has never considered these issues. In her opinion, no matter which woman she is, Yun Chen should not get involved.
So Yun Chen continued to wait and wait in the East Palace, until the twelfth lunar month and the depth of winter, but he neither got the winter clothes he wanted nor the beauty to warm his bed.
Near the end of the year, Yun Chen's letter was sent to Dayong.
On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, there was no holiday yet, and the emperor had to discuss matters with ministers every day. He thought that Yun Chen would be able to come back before the New Year, but he didn't expect that all he would get back was a letter written by him.
The content written in the letter made Emperor Zhaoming look cold and frown, and for a moment it was impossible to tell whether his mood was good or bad.
"This is a letter written by Yun Chen." Emperor Zhaoming read the letter and handed it to Yang Xi next to him, "pass the letter to all the ministers to read."
"yes."
The letter was first delivered to Prime Minister Wei. Prime Minister Wei opened it and read it, his expression became slightly more solemn, "This...His Royal Highness King Jing is helping Dongyou attack Xijiang?"
What?
The ministers had strange expressions on their faces and looked at the letter in Prime Minister Wei's hand. After reading it, Prime Minister Wei handed the letter to the ministers beside him, looked up at Emperor Zhaoming who was sitting on the dragon chair, and frowned slightly: "
Is this the reason why King Jing has been staying in Dongyou and not returned? Your Majesty, I think this is unreasonable."
Emperor Zhaoming asked: "Why is it unreasonable?"
"The letter only has the names of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and several ministers he brought, but there are no names of the envoys brought by King Jing. This is unreasonable." Prime Minister Wei analyzed, "Your Majesty, you might as well think about it, even if King Jing really helped Dong
If you attack Western Border, it is impossible to bring all the envoys with you. Moreover, those envoys are not good at fighting. They will definitely stay in Dongyou and wait for news. As long as they meet with His Highness the Crown Prince, then the Crown Prince will write
The envoys on both sides should know about the return of the letter."
After reading the letter, Mr. Wang nodded: "The Prime Minister is right, there is no reason to only have the names of Li Shilang and the other envoys."
"If King Jing really went to fight, that would explain the reason why he has not returned for more than half a year, but why didn't His Highness the Crown Prince come back?" A minister in the court asked, "Could it be that both King Jing and His Highness the Crown Prince were left behind by Emperor Dongyou?
Taking Dongyou as hostage, they deliberately asked the prince to write such a letter back, just to keep us in the dark?"
Prime Minister Wei also had the same idea in his mind, but he would not express it. Instead, he shook his head: "There is no reason for Dongyou to detain both the prince and King Jing. Doing so will not do them any good and will only cause conflict between the two countries."
, is it possible that they deliberately want to be enemies with Dayong?"
"It shouldn't be possible." Officials from the Prime Minister's party immediately agreed, "Not long after the princess was married, Dongyou was very sincere when he asked to marry the princess, and they also sent a princess over. How could they follow him so quickly?
Dayong broke up with each other? If this is the case, is the marriage still meaningful? How can other countries believe in the sincerity of the marriage in the future? "
"I think so too."
"I suspect that His Highness the Crown Prince did this on purpose, trying to make us think that King Jing has fallen in love with Princess Dongyou." Another minister from the Prime Minister's party said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants us to think that King Jing has forgotten himself for the sake of beauty.
With his identity, he would not hesitate to help Dongyou conquer other countries, and he is very likely to help Dongyou attack Dayong in the future... The two countries are far apart, and it is difficult to transmit information. We cannot determine Jing Jing just based on a letter from His Highness the Crown Prince.
The king really went to the battlefield."
In fact, the ministers of Wei Prime Minister's faction support the King of Qi. No matter what the situation is between the Crown Prince and King Jing in Dongyou, and whether they will turn against each other and frame each other, it is an excellent opportunity for the King of Qi.
The most important thing at the moment is to give the emperor a legitimate reason to depose the prince. As long as the prince is deposed, depending on the current status of the concubines in the harem, no matter what happens in the future, Yun Chen will not be able to become the heir to the throne. His prince
His status will be far lower than that of King Jing and King Qi.
"I find it difficult to agree with what Prime Minister Wei said." Taifu Wu bowed and spoke respectfully, "Your Majesty, Prince Jing and His Royal Highness went to Dongyou for a long time and did not return. Instead, His Highness the Prince wrote a letter and came back. If it hadn't been for Dongyou.
You are trapped, so since the prince can write letters, why doesn't he take the envoys back to Dayong? It is very likely that he was forced to write the letter. Without seeing the prince's face, everything may be false. A letter
It doesn’t explain anything at all.”
Prime Minister Wei turned to look at him: "Dongyou is very sincere in asking to marry the princess. Does the master mean that they are slapping him in the face?"
Taifu Wu looked calm: "It's hard to say whether Dongyou slapped himself in the face, but in an ambitious country, nothing should be unexpected. Besides, the princess has an unruly temperament. Who knows if she will help him?
Mother country?”
Emperor Zhaoming's face was as dark as water, and he listened to the argument among the officials in the palace without saying a word.
It is true that Yun Zishu is unruly, but she is just a woman and cannot decide the important matters of the family and the country. What's more, for the emperor and ministers of Dongyou, the princess Dayong married was just a foreign woman. Even if she becomes a queen, she is also a foreign queen. She should
He has no power to decide national affairs.
If Yun Chen deliberately wanted to deal with King Jing and framed King Jing with a letter, he was willing to believe it, because it was indeed possible for Yun Chen to do so, and the letter was only signed by envoys from the prince's party.
The flaw below.
But before Yun Chen left, King Jing had not returned for half a year. This was very unreasonable. If what Yun Chen said was true, then why did King Jing not come back for so long?
If King Jing was detained by the Dongyou royal family, what was the reason for his detention? Dayong and Dongyou had just married and formed an alliance. They should have been the two countries with the best relations among all the countries in the world. Dongyou should not be like this.
I will soon destroy this relationship with my own hands... So how should we judge Yun Chen's letter?
If what he said was true, wouldn't it mean that King Jing would have to wait until the end of Dongyou's conquest of Western Xinjiang before King Jing could come back, and he would also bring back Dongyou's most beautiful princess?
The most beautiful princess of Dongyou...
Emperor Zhaoming was moved, and decided to ask Concubine De after going to court to see what kind of magic power this most beautiful princess in Dongyou had. Then he would be able to judge the authenticity of this letter.
