There was no need for Chang Chengke to lie to him. Since he knew that Feng Luo was not dead, there was no point in telling lies.
Because it was not a lie, Chu Qing was confused.
"Your Majesty, what you mean is that you came here voluntarily?"
"You must be a fool." Chang Chengke cursed in a low voice: "South of the Weijiang River, it is like spring all the year round. I am so happy living and drinking. Why do I go to Beijing in the winter? It's freezing cold and I don't even have a servant."
"But you just said that you were not kidnapped, but that the border troops escorted you here."
"Hijacking?"
Chang Chengke laughed a few times, then narrowed his eyes: "Those mindless troops were able to kidnap me in the palace. Do you really think that the troops here are all incapable of doing anything?"
When King Wu said this, Chu Qing became even more confused.
He had thought about this matter. King Wu had been running the fiefdom for so long, so he shouldn't have been kidnapped by hundreds of people so quietly. But the other party said it was not voluntary. What did this mean?
Probably seeing why Chu Qing was confused, Chang Chengke muttered a few more words, as if he was scolding his mother, and then he explained: "Feng Luo secretly dispatched three thousand dead soldiers from the frontier army. Come to my fiefdom."
"It turns out there were three thousand people. Did you capture these three thousand people?"
"It's ridiculous, so what if there are three thousand people? Do you really think that the Zhechong Mansion and the royal guards south of Weijiang River are all useless?"
Chang Chengke looked a bit contemptuous: "At first, I didn't know that there were three thousand people, but I knew that many troops crossed the river and lurked secretly. The palace guards arrested three people, and then I learned that Feng Luo was going to play a game. Big chess, I know that if the border army continues like this, it will not be long before the border is in vain, the Chang Dynasty is bound to perish, and Feng Luo will make the world mistakenly think that Liang Rong is coming, and eventually provoke a war between the two countries."
Speaking of this, Chang Chengke sighed: "If the two countries go to war, Feng Luo is afraid that the king will raise the flag to stand on his own, and the Chang Dynasty will be in trouble, so he secretly dispatched three thousand elites to sneak into the king's fiefdom. Once the king raises the flag to stand on his own, he will assassinate me. king."
Chang Chengke chuckled: "But after waiting and waiting, there was no movement from the frontier army and Feng Luo. Finally, I thought about it and simply added to the anger. I went to the frontier soldiers and told them that I entered the capital and left the fiefdom. After coming to the capital, Feng Luo no longer has any worries and can just act boldly."
Chu Qing and Fu San both had the same expression, dull.
After sluggishness comes anger.
Chu Qing no longer addressed him as "you" and sneered again and again: "Do you think I'm a fool?"
"Why, you don't believe it?"
"Aren't you afraid that the emperor will kill you if you take the initiative to enter the capital?"
"Afraid."
"Since you are afraid, you still dare to enter Beijing. Who are you fooling?"
Chang Chengke smiled half-heartedly: "So what if I don't come to Beijing."
"If you don't enter the capital, those three thousand troops will do whatever they can to assassinate you..." Chu Qing frowned: "Are you afraid of death, so you took the initiative to enter the capital?"
After finishing speaking, Chu Qing was confused.
If you enter the capital, you will basically be killed by the emperor. Even if you don't kill him, you will still have to be placed under house arrest.
In contrast, in a fiefdom, no matter how elite the frontier army is, it is not the home field, and the chance of survival is very high.
Chang Chengke leaned his head on the carriage again, closed his eyes, and said quietly: "Chang Chengyou is not the only one who has been to the border."
After saying this without any beginning or end, King Wu closed his eyes again to rest.
Chu Qing's expression changed slightly and he glanced at Fu San, who had a thoughtful expression on his face.
Looking at Chang Chengke, who looked like an ordinary rich man, Chu Qing suddenly realized that he could not see through the prince in front of him. No, it should be said that he had never seen through him from the first time he saw him until now.
The prince in front of me.
Things have become clear. Feng Luo did not initially want to bring King Wu to the capital, nor did he only send 500 people. Instead, he sent 3,000 people from the border to lurk in King Wu's fiefdom.
.
The initial idea was to assassinate Feng Luo. Once the two countries went to war and Chang Chengke wanted to take advantage of the chaos to stand on his own feet, these three thousand dead men would kill the King of Wu.
It is conceivable that if three thousand border troops were able to sneak into King Wu's fiefdom, there must be people in Zhechong Mansion on both sides of the Weijiang River to respond.
After King Wu learned about the situation, he was not afraid, because he probably had never thought about raising the flag to stand on his own feet.
A long time passed, and when he saw that Bian Guan and Feng Luo had not moved, King Wu thought of adding fuel to the fire and took the initiative to come to the center of the capital and asked the border army to escort him to the center of the capital. This relieved Feng Luo from worries and allowed him to
Bian Jun and Feng Luo played a big game of chess.
But if this is really the case, isn't it just a sheep entering the tiger's mouth when Chang Chengke takes the initiative to enter the capital? Doesn't he know that the emperor wants to kill him?
After seeing Qianqiying's probing horse, Chang Chengke immediately knew that Feng Luo had been exposed.
But the first thing Chang Chengke asked was whether the emperor had killed Feng Luo. When he learned that Feng Luo was still alive, King Wu's expression was very complicated, including disappointment and happiness. Two completely different emotions appeared on his face.
It's very complicated and hard to figure out.
The carriage entered the capital, and when it was about to arrive at the palace, Chang Chengke came to ask for trouble. He insisted on letting Chu Qing get him clothes and boots. Brand-new clothes should be luxurious, the more expensive the better, and the boots should be made of lambskin.
You have to change your inner clothes, saying that you are entering the palace to meet the emperor, and you cannot be shabby.
Chu Qing really couldn't figure out what the use of changing clothes was. After entering the palace, even if he was immortal, his only destination was the prison. What could he get in exchange for it?
But Chang Chengke was very persistent. If he wasn't given any clothes, he jumped out of the carriage, with the intention of rolling around.
Chu Qing didn't care about the money, so he asked Fu San to buy clothes and boots, and then the chubby prince changed into them directly in the carriage without wearing any crotchless pants. The scene was very eye-catching.
After a lot of trouble, the carriage arrived outside the palace.
Fu San stayed where he was, and only Chu Qing and Jiang Yuesheng took Chang Chengke to the Jingyi Hall.
There is no need to notify Chu Qing when he enters the palace. Not only him, but Jiang Yuesheng also enjoys this kind of treatment.
However, there is an essential difference between the two. When Chu Qing enters the palace, he can stroll around casually, or even lie down at the door of any palace to take a nap. When he wakes up, he leaves the palace. No one will ask or tell him. Huang Laosi will not care.
, it’s completely like your own back garden.
But Jiang Yuesheng, who also did not need to report, could only go to the emperor after entering the palace, and he had to report something urgent.
When they arrived outside the palace, the little eunuch guarding the door ran in and called Chu Qing, the commander of the Thousand Cavalry Camp from Si'an County, to ask for an audience. Huang Laosi, who was approving the memorial, was in a panic, fearing that Chu Qing was asking about his mother's affairs.
.
But everyone was here, and it was impossible for the fourth child to avoid seeing them.
Chu Qing and the others entered the palace, and the fourth child raised his head, preparing to take the lead.
"Really, didn't you just meet me this morning? I have to give my approval every day..."
Halfway through, Huang Laosi was stunned and saw clearly the guy next to Chu Qing.
With a "thump", Huang Laosi suddenly stood up, with a look of astonishment on his face: "What a stupid Chang Chengke?!"
Chang Chengke's expression remained unchanged and he gave a perfunctory salute: "I, Chang Chengke, have met Your Majesty."
Even Sun An was so stupid that he thought he was hallucinating.
