Even now, King Cheng still has not figured out the thoughts of Duke Cheng, the noble man who controls the capital.
If he had not participated in the battle for the throne, there would have been no way for him to hesitate when he and Marquis Wu Cheng stood behind King Jing.
King Jing has lost his competitiveness now, and even his uncle Wu Chenghou no longer supports him. Not surprisingly, Wu Chenghou gave up his support for the third prince.
Since a piece of mud that cannot hold up a wall has no practical value, it is natural to abandon it as soon as possible.
If you are accidentally implicated, it will be more of a loss than a gain.
However, after breaking away from the side, he changed from a participant to a neutral person.
Ever since King Jing was suppressed by him, Duke Cheng Guo has not publicly expressed his support for any prince.
Even if King Cheng often tries to win over him, it will have no effect.
Otherwise, he would not have given King Jing's uncle Wu Chenghou a chance to join him.
He must have a force that is clearly usable in his hands.
Although the troops stationed in southern Xinjiang are farther away, they are also a deterrent.
King Cheng quickly restrained his thoughts.
Naturally, he still wanted to win over Duke Cheng Guo, who controlled the capital camp, but now was not the time to do so.
There are more important things to do now.
King Cheng nodded slightly and said, "I and the Ryukyu envoy have something to say. Please knock on the door."
"yes."
Lu Song nodded.
As a member of the Qianhu family, he naturally does not want to do this kind of work as a pawn.
In the meantime, Lu Song waved gently, and one of his guards stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door that had just been replaced yesterday.
Bang bang bang!
This time it didn't take long for the door to open from the inside.
And the one who came out was the same Ryukyu servant from yesterday.
Looking at the group of people outside the door, the servant's face showed a look of resignation.
For three days in a row, a group of people knocked on the door of their mission every day, and he had become somewhat used to it.
"Today is again..."
The servant swallowed his words before he was halfway through, and his eyes widened slightly under his boat-shaped crown.
"I have met Prince Dali Cheng!"
The servant hurriedly bowed in accordance with Ryukyu etiquette.
As a foreigner, he didn't care who founded Dali, but King Cheng was the chief official responsible for negotiating with them, so he couldn't offend easily.
What is anxious now is not Da Li, but all ethnic groups.
If they accidentally offend King Cheng, they don't know how long their negotiations will be delayed.
"Messengers don't need to be polite."
King Cheng smiled, not as aggressive as Liu Shan, Di Xin and others the previous two days.
He said gently: "I have something I would like to talk to the envoy Hirata. Can the envoy be in the courtyard?"
This is asking questions knowingly.
The servant did not dare to complain, so he lowered his head and said: "The envoy is resting in the room. Please wait for a moment, Prince Cheng, and allow me to make an announcement."
His attitude was completely different from the previous two days.
King Cheng nodded slightly and said, "Thank you."
"Hold on!"
After leaving two words, the servant turned around and returned to the courtyard.
After a while, the servant returned and said respectfully: "Prince Cheng, I'm here to invite you!"
"good!"
"You guys just wait outside, and I will be back soon."
King Cheng ordered the imperial guards to wait outside, and he was about to go in.
The imperial guards who were temporarily responsible for protecting King Cheng had no objections, but Lu Song took a step forward and warned in a low voice: "Your Highness, the Ryukyu envoy revealed his cultivation the day before yesterday, and he is an innate grand master."
"His Royal Highness has a rich body. It may be dangerous to enter alone. Please think twice."
"No problem!"
King Cheng smiled and said: "I believe that the Ryukyu envoy is a smart man and will not do such a disobedient act in the land of great separation."
"Besides, I am also a strong person in the second realm. Even though my practice is shallow, I still have some ability to protect myself."
"If that Ryukyu envoy defies the laws of our court and openly attacks me, I can get out of my own way."
"That's...okay!"
Seeing that King Cheng insisted, Lu Song did not persuade him any more.
As for the cultivation of the second realm, as long as you are prepared, no one will succeed easily.
Therefore, once Ryukyu is taking action, as long as there is a little movement, the Beijing Guards and Imperial Guards will go in to support them regardless of whether they can come out or not.
By then, with the strength of the crowd, His Majesty the King will be safe.
The two warnings Lu Song gave just now were just part of his duty, not really worried about his safety.
As for what His Highness Prince Cheng wants to discuss with the Ryukyu envoy, that is not within the scope of his responsibilities.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, King Cheng walked alone into the courtyard where the Ryukyu Mission was located, as if he was not worried about being gossiped at all.
And after an hour, Cheng Wang came out.
Then he left the inn.
That afternoon, a piece of news leaked out from the palace.
Three days later, the Dali court will start the final negotiation with foreign missions.
…
Prince Yu's Mansion.
In the study room.
Di Xin tapped his fingertips on the table and asked, "After three days, is the news confirmed?"
"Sure."
Zeng Hongshen nodded, stroking his beard and said: "Formal documents have been issued, and the government has also posted notices. There should be no falsehoods."
"That's good."
A smile appeared on Di Xin's lips.
In order not to leave any stain during his period of supervision, King Cheng decided to let the alien mission leave the capital early.
The development of things did not surprise him.
In this way, his plan can be launched as scheduled.
Thinking of this, he said: "Mr. Zeng, although Xizi has a level of cultivation, he is inexperienced after all. I would like to ask Mr. Zeng to cover his actions in three days."
Zeng Hongshen nodded.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I know what to do!"
"Thank you sir."
Di Xin chuckled, suddenly changed the subject and asked: "By the way, is Xiaoba still practicing at the moment?"
"Not yet."
Zeng Hongshen shook his head and said helplessly: "King Qi has complained again."
Hearing this, the corners of Di Xin's mouth twitched slightly.
"He's such an old man, what's the matter?"
Seeing that Di Xin also had a headache, Zeng Hongshen laughed instead.
King Qi complained, but he was not the unlucky one.
As his mentality grows older, his character seems to become more and more bad.
Thinking about what Prince Yu would encounter next, he even had the slightest idea of watching a show.
Of course, he has watched similar plays more than once in the past six months.
But who would find this kind of thing boring?
Seeing Zeng Hongshen's expression, Di Xin guessed what he was thinking.
At the same time, I became increasingly helpless.
The leader of the rebel army who was more than thirty years ago is still reliable in certain matters, but when it comes to matters unrelated to serious matters, his attitude has become increasingly different in recent years.
The mature and prudent old man Tiancan seems to be gone forever.
