   Chapter 451 Assassination of the leader (two more)

   Princess Hui’an frowned: “Hey! Does she want to bully people like this! The practice in the morning is enough to give her face, and she needs to practice at night? I don’t want to go!”

  The palace is a place to worship high and step low. There are many tragedies in which the clouds fell into the mire overnight.

  Concubine Xian looked at the obvious lack of several kinds of food on the table, her face turned cold: “A group of snobbish dog slaves!”

  Liu Sande said nothing: “There are rumors in the palace that it was the third highness who murdered the first and second highnesses into the Taolin. His majesty Longyan was furious.

   Concubine Xian looked around: “Where’s Hui’an?”

   A little **** entered: “Niangniang, Princess Hui’an was arrested by Princess Jingning and went to Kunning Palace to practice arrows. She said that if she didn’t practice well, she wouldn’t let the princess come back.”

   Hearing this, Concubine Xian was relieved.

  Emperor Jingxuan woke up the next morning. Shortly after waking up, Jing Zhaoyin asked to see him outside the palace, saying that the White Lotus Sect had sent a letter.

  Emperor Jingxuan ignored the imperial doctor’s instructions, so he brought Jing Zhaoyin in.

“It was brought to the yamen by a tavern clerk, who said that the guest gave him a piece of silver and asked him to send the letter to Jingzhao Mansion by hand. The next official immediately took people to the tavern to arrest people, but unfortunately they had already gone to the empty building. .”

   Jing Zhaoyin said, and handed the letter to Eunuch Fu.

  Emperor Fu disassembled it, checked it carefully, and made sure there was no danger before presenting it to Emperor Jingxuan on the dragon bed.

   After reading the letter, Emperor Jingxuan was so angry that he almost lost his temper again.

   “Your Majesty! Don’t get angry!” Eunuch Fu was so frightened that he was half dead. The imperial doctor warned him that if he fainted again, he would risk a stroke.

  Emperor Jingxuan took a deep breath, tried to calm down his emotions, and gritted his teeth: “You bastard! I actually asked me to exchange Jingning for my eldest son!”

  Everyone didn’t dare to come out.

  The White Lotus Sect is really a lion, and he dares to mention such a condition.

   But if you think about it carefully, in the dynasty, only Princess Jingning can weigh more than Xiao Duye.

  The queen has no direct son, and Princess Jingning is the only direct descendant, and this is one of them.

   The second is her indescribable character.

   Then, will His Majesty agree?

Of course, Emperor Jingxuan would not agree.

   Emperor Jingxuan went to the imperial study to convene ministers to discuss countermeasures.

  General Leng asked for orders to lead troops to clear the White Lotus Sect, but was opposed by the civil ministers.

  Lin Taiwei said: “Unless it is a last resort, you must not raise your troops in a big way, causing the people to panic, but also laboring the people and hurting the money, and causing great harm to the lives of the soldiers of the three armies.”

   General Leng said in a cold voice, “I Da Zhou generals are greedy for life and fear of death!”

   Taiwei Lin said sternly: “But my Dazhou soldiers should not make unnecessary sacrifices!”

   General Leng snorted: “How can saving the prince be a meaningless sacrifice? You have to be a tortoise, don’t drag the soldiers of Da Zhou!”

   Emperor Jingxuan looked at Xiao Shunyang in front of him: “Second child, what do you think?”

   Xiao Shunyang cupped his hands and said, “My son also agrees to send troops.”

Jing Yi’s father, Marquis Weiwu said, “Your Majesty, I think it’s inappropriate. With the imperial court’s strong military, it is possible to destroy the White Lotus Sect, but has the matter really reached such an irreversible point? I heard that Taolin is dangerous. , our soldiers will surely suffer heavy casualties. The old protector of the country once said that a victory in exchange for huge sacrifices is a defeat.”

   “The soldiers are not afraid of death, but they shouldn’t die in vain. The minister dared to propose – peace talks.”

  Emperor Jingxuan’s gaze fell on the old man’s face: “How does Su Aiqing feel?”

  The old man said: “My minister, agree to the peace talks.”

The proposal of   peace talks was accepted, but who would go to the peace talks became the problem again. The second prince suggested himself, but Emperor Jingxuan did not agree.

   He appointed Xiao Chonghua as a peace negotiator, accompanied by the Marquis of Zhenbei and General Leng.

   Xiao Shunyang said sternly: “Father, the third brother is still ill, let the servant go!”

  Emperor Jingxuan said lightly: “You must have heard the rumors outside. The third brother needs a chance to prove his innocence, so don’t fight with your third brother.”

   Xiao Shunyang frowned: “…Yes.”

   “Cousin, are you really going?”

   On the carriage back to the house, Jing Yi asked Xiao Chonghua.

   Xiao Chonghua closed the cloak on his body. It was already hot in early summer, but he was still weak and cold.

   “The imperial decree has been issued, I have no choice but to go.”

   “You can call yourself sick.”

   “Jing Yi, life is also death, death is also life, I have no way out.”

   Jing Yi wanted to say something, Xiao Chonghua opened his mouth softly.

“The news came from the spies that Beiyan intends to marry the Western Jin. Once these two countries marry, do you know the consequences? How do you think my father, the emperor, will keep Dazhou’s country? It is to start a war with Beiyan and the Western Jin at the same time. Or send a princess to kiss?”

   “The emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty praised Hui’an’s beauty back then. Do I want to watch my compatriot sister be given to an old emperor in his 60s to be his favorite concubine?”

   Jing Yi was silent.

Xiao Chonghua said: “I’m not all for Hui’an, I have my own ambitions. I’m not favored by my father, I can only firmly seize every opportunity, chance of life, chance of death, can’t let go .”

  In the imperial study, the prince and ministers left one after another, and Emperor Jingxuan left the old marquis alone.

   He gave Minister Fu a wink.

  Fu Gonggong agreed and exited to guard the door.

   Father-in-law Quan wanted to come over to guard with him, he said indifferently: “Retreat!”

   Eunuch Quan’s mouth twitched, and he rolled his eyes secretly and retreated three feet away.

   “Su Shuo.” Emperor Jingxuan looked at the old marquis solemnly, “I asked you to accompany you to the White Lotus Sect this time, but in fact there are other tasks.”

  The old man cupped his hands and said, “Your Majesty, please speak.”

   Emperor Jingxuan said coldly: “I want you to issue a military order to kill the leader of the White Lotus Sect!”

  …

   “Your Majesty asked you to kill the leader of the White Lotus Sect?” Qin Canglan frowned and looked at the old marquis, “You agreed?”

  The old marquis glared at him: “Is there any room for me to bargain? Besides, even if Your Majesty doesn’t tell me, I plan to kill Mo Guiyuan.”

   Qin Canglan looked at him: “Your body…”

  The old man said casually: “I have recovered a long time ago! Don’t worry about me! Mo Guiyuan is a mere one, I haven’t paid attention to it yet!”

   Qin Canglan didn’t think that Emperor Jingxuan was deliberately making things difficult. With the current situation, killing Mo Guiyuan was indeed the best strategy.

   It’s just that the military order is somewhat absurd, and it doesn’t quite fit the style of his Mingjun.

   It seems that His Majesty is really being pushed by the White Lotus Sect.

   Qin Canglan said: “If it wasn’t for me being injured, it would be me who would assassinate Mo Guiyuan.”

  The old man’s face darkened: “What do you mean? I’m not as good as you, right? Even if you’re not injured, it’s me who will kill him!”

Qin Canglan rarely quarreled with him, and reminded: “Mo Guiyuan must have guessed that the court will not compromise easily, the so-called peace talks are just a cover, he must have set up ambush and traps. I heard Wei Ting say, Mo There is a very powerful expert by Gui Yuan’s side, called Xiu Nu, you have to be careful of this person.”
