In the current scene, if Di Xin does not want to be accused of sabotaging the negotiations, it seems that he can only lower his head and give a reasonable explanation to the Ryukyu mission.
Taking action will only hurt both sides.
But unfortunately, Di Xin did not intend to do this.
If you lower your head at this moment, you will be following the wishes of the person behind the scheme, that is, King Cheng.
After being assassinated, he tried to find an explanation, but ended up leaving in an anticlimactic manner. If it had been planned by someone thoughtful, it would have definitely been a huge blow to his current reputation.
But not bowing your head is also detrimental to yourself.
This seems to be a puzzling situation.
The premise is that there are only two people at the scene, Prince Yu's Palace and the Ryukyu Mission.
The Beijing Guards were not included, and Lu Song's status was not high enough to participate.
Not counting those from other missions, they are outsiders.
However, there is indeed a third force with sufficient voice on the scene.
That's right, it's Zhao Xiangqi.
The game of politics is more than just fighting and killing.
In other words, in addition to strength, other conditions are also part of strength.
Among them, identity is undoubtedly a very important part.
Zhao Xiangqi was born as a merchant's daughter, but the so-called status was only compared among several brothers.
In the eyes of outsiders, he is also the biological son of the current emperor and the orthodox Prince of Dali.
His Royal Highness, King Qi, is dignified and upright, without adding any water.
Everyone should call him the Eighth Prince.
Therefore, although Zhao Xiangqi did not bring anyone from Prince Qi's palace to the post house now, as the Prince of Qi, he was enough to become a third-party force that could talk to Emperor Xin on an equal footing with the Ryukyu mission.
And he is the one brought by Di Xin to break the situation.
He is also the real protagonist on this stage today.
Di Xin has been preparing for this moment for so long.
He winked at Zhao Xiangqi and asked with a chuckle: "I wonder what kind of explanation the Ryukyu envoy wants me to give?"
Tian Rong's eyes flashed with joy.
As he expected, with King Yu's current worth, he would never do anything that would hurt both parties.
"Prince Yu has a distinguished status, and there is a reason for what happened today, so it is not easy for me to criticize you too much."
He slowly put away the power that belonged to an innate strong man, and said with a smile on his face: "Prince Yu just needs to show his respect in public..."
"Bah, I'm giving you face, aren't I?"
The sudden words not only interrupted Tian Rong's words, but also caused the smile that had not yet fully bloomed to condense on his face.
Tian Rong frowned and looked at the speaker, a flash of anger flashing across his face.
"Who are you?"
He said with a cold face: "I am talking to Prince Yu, where is your turn to interrupt?"
"That's exactly what I said!"
Di Xin still had a faint smile on his face: "I forgot to introduce you. This is my younger brother, Qi..."
"Fifth brother, a rude and ignorant barbarian, why bother talking to him?"
Zhao Xiangqi interrupted Di Xin's words, looked at Tian Rong, and said with a domineering look: "I can't change my name, I can't change my surname. I am the eighth son of your majesty today."
"You barbarians should address me as Your Highness, King Qi."
Di Xin had a faint smile on his face, but he couldn't help but laugh even more in his heart.
It seems that his nominal eighth brother has read a lot of words, and he has spoken out all the words commonly used by green forest heroes such as whether to change his name or not to change his surname.
But now it was Zhao Xiangqi's performance time, and he did not interrupt.
The people in Emperor Xin and Prince Yu's Mansion were calm, but some people couldn't be calm.
Lu Song looked at the muscular figure standing next to Di Xin with surprise in his eyes.
"His Royal Highness King Qi..."
In addition to His Royal Highness Prince Yu, His Royal Highness Prince Qi also came.
Tian Rong's expression also changed slightly, and he secretly thought something was wrong.
In fact, it’s no wonder the two of them.
Zhao Xiangqi's six months were not in vain, and he did not arrive at Prince Yu's Mansion before 00:00 every day just to catch up on his sleep.
Under Zeng Hongshen's unbearable intensity of training, Zhao Xiangqi had already been transformed.
After training without interruption for almost half a year, Zhao Xiangqi is no longer the big fat man who gasps for breath after taking only two steps. He has strong muscles and looks like he has become a completely different person.
In the past six months, Zhao Xiangqi had not been anywhere except Prince Yu's Mansion.
On the way from Prince Yu's Mansion to Prince Qi's Mansion, he sat in the sedan all the time. Except when he got off the sedan at the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion, he never showed his face in front of anyone outside Prince Qi's Mansion and Prince Yu's Mansion.
Of course, with the spies planted in front of Prince Yu's palace, the changed image of Prince Qi has already fallen on the desks of their respective masters behind him.
However, let’s not talk about the source of the news. No one will publicize this trivial matter everywhere.
Half a year ago, His Highness King Qi was well known to almost everyone in the capital. Now, if he is not reminded, few people would recognize him face to face.
In addition, although Zhao Xiangqi had just announced his identity at the door of the post house, there were only two guards at the door at that time.
Now one of the guards is still at his post, but the other has been arrested as a leader and has basically not spoken except to answer Di Xin's questions.
This resulted in a very interesting phenomenon.
Except for Di Xin and the people from Prince Yu's Mansion who came with him, as well as Wei Chiqing, who had just been taken in by Di Xin, no one present knew that there were two princes coming this time.
Even Di Xin had not calculated this before.
Di Xin, who was confined in Prince Yu's Mansion, did not know these details.
He just took advantage of the situation after discovering the performance of Lu Song and others.
And now it has an unexpected effect.
Zhao Xiangqi suddenly revealed his identity, which undoubtedly caught the Ryukyu mission off guard.
It’s not just the Ryukyu Mission.
What he said next caused the expressions of all the envoys present to change.
"Pooh!"
After Zhao Xiangqi spat, he said angrily: "Half a year ago, my fifth brother was assassinated by barbarians like you on his way back to the capital."
"Fifth Brother was thinking that you barbarian envoys came all the way to the capital to negotiate, so I didn't tell the matter. But I didn't expect that not only would you not be grateful, but you would go even harder and assassinate my Fifth Brother again in the capital."
He didn't care what Di Xin and Tian Rong had talked about before. Not only did he sound like a barbarian, but he also confirmed that yesterday's assassination was planned by these envoys.
What made the faces of these people in the mission change even more was what Zhao Xiangqi mentioned about the pursuit half a year ago.
Except for a few such as the Uighur Mission, most of the missions knew something about this matter - or in other words, the assassination was partly planned by them.
It would have been fine if this matter had been exposed before.
Without evidence, even if King Yu reveals this matter, it will not have any impact.
But when it comes out at this point in time, it's completely different.
