Chapter 64

Maybe I am not used to the barbecue invited by Geely on the grassland. On the way to Guijing, Emperor Yanqing got sick and vomited and had diarrhea. When he returned to the imperial city, he lost weight. His face became deeper and his wrinkles appeared to be five or six years older. Then this winter was particularly cold. Emperor Yanqing had no serious illnesses and had no minor illnesses. He often went to court with illness and had to cough after talking for a while.

The imperial physician came to take the pulse and said in front of everyone that the emperor was worried and became ill. As soon as the empress dowager and concubines left, the imperial physician quietly advised Emperor Yanqing to control himself and want to hurt his body.

It turned out that in order not to let his third princess marry, Concubine Li had to get married almost every night. After entangling Emperor Yanqing, Emperor Yanqing was old and unhappy. In addition, Concubine Li had special ability to invite favors, Emperor Yanqing had no self-control at all. Now that he was in a state of dying, the second princess also went out of the palace to marry him. Emperor Yanqing finally got rid of Concubine Li and was able to rest with peace of mind.

Before he could do it, he just got into the warm bed and was about to go to bed at night. A sudden disturbing footsteps came from outside, mixed with the whispers of eunuchs. Soon, the eunuch general rushed in, glanced at the emperor's brocade tent, bent down to report: "Emperor, General Weiyuan sent someone to send 800 miles to speed up..."

Emperor Yanqing immediately sat up, his face gloomy.

After being the emperor for decades, Emperor Yanqing forgot how many times he received the 800-li expedition, and only remembered that it was good news a few times. Now Xiao Boyan is stationed in Qingcheng. Is there any change in the expedition there?

The eunuch general handed over the memorial to Emperor Yanqing, and brought up another lamp to light the emperor.

Emperor Yanqing opened it quickly and saw Wuqu robbing the second princess he gave to Jili's marriage. Emperor Yanqing's hands slowly trembled, trembling faster and faster. Finally, with a "pop" sound, the memorial was smashed to the ground, his eyes were so bitter: "Wuqu, Wuqu bullies people too..."

Before he finished speaking, the emperor sitting by the bed suddenly spit out a stream of blood, and then his eyes went black, and he rushed straight downward. The eunuch always held Emperor Yanqing in fear and shouted to the imperial physician!

~

The next morning, Emperor Yanqing went to court again while sick, wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the dragon chaise. His old face was pale and he saw no blood.

The ministers all lowered their eyes and looked silent.

Emperor Yanqing may not have taken a small second princess in his eyes, but the dignified emperor was snatched away by someone. Wuqu's slap was too loud and destined to be recorded in the historian. I will not consider the reputation of later generations for now. Let's talk about the current situation, when ordinary people are suffering from the hatred of robbing their daughters, even if they don't like their daughters, they will come to ask for an explanation for their face. However, there are only two ways to go with Emperor Yanqing. Either they swallow their anger or send troops to attack Wuqu!

"Emperor, Wuqu is arrogant and arrogant and despised the power of heaven, and acts like a bandit, and must be severely punished. I agree with Jili's request and send troops to join forces to encircle and suppress Wuqu." Jiang Yi, the Minister of Revenue, set out.

"Emperor, Wuqu is a wolf, and Geely is a tiger. Geely has not dared to act rashly in recent years. It is precisely because the Wusun tribe led by Wuqu is gradually becoming stronger and it is fearful. Once the Great Zhou helps to wipe out Wuqu, Geely wants to send troops south again, and there will be no worries anymore." Chen Yao, Secretary of War, opposed it.

"Mr. Chen said that Wuqu humiliated my Princess of Great Zhou so much, but the court did nothing and gave him a princess for nothing?"

"What kind of plan does Lord Jiang have for both sides? Geely wants to marry, Lord Jiang is the first to agree. Now Geely asks the emperor to send troops, Lord Jiang is the first to support him. Dare to ask what the relationship between Lord Jiang and Geely? Wuqu only has 100,000 tribes, and Geely holds 300,000 troops. The reason why he dares not fight Wuqu is because he is afraid that my Great Zhou fisherman will benefit. OK, Geely is guarding against Da Zhou everywhere, but Lord Jiang advises the emperor to help him calm the chaos in the grassland. Please ask yourself, whose salary you are getting!"

"you……"

"Shut up!" Seeing that the two of them were about to curse, Emperor Yanqing suddenly took a heavy shot of the dragon chaise and coughed violently after the shot.

The hall suddenly became silent.

Emperor Yanqing coughed several times, covered his chest and looked at Xiao Yu, "Xiao Yu, what do you think?"

Xiao Yu lowered his head and said indifferently: "I have no good plans, and everything will be decided by the emperor."

At the beginning, their brothers insisted on opposing marriage, but the emperor refused to listen. Now, Xiao Yukong had the intention to send troops to Wuqu, but the Zhou Dynasty had no support. After attacking Wuqu, Geely might bite him back at any time. If he did not attack Wuqu, Emperor Yanqing could not save his face, so he was not so stupid to persuade Emperor Yanqing to swallow his anger.

Having to make a choice, Xiao Yu felt that taking the opportunity to marry Wuqu is the best strategy. Wuqu, Geely, and Dazhou are the strongest now. If Dazhou joins hands with Wuqu, after defeating Geely, Wuqu will need time to unify the grassland, and Dazhou will also need time to recuperate. For at least 20 or 30 years, Wuqu will not dare to covet Dazhou. When Wuqu has the confidence, Dazhou will no longer be afraid of him.

However, Emperor Yanqing's fear of Geely has penetrated into his bones and blood. Xiao Yu knew very well that even if he said that best strategy, Emperor Yanqing would not risk offending Geely to marry Wuqu. Since that is the case, why should he speak up and challenge Emperor Yanqing?

Based on Xiao Yu's understanding of Emperor Yanqing, this emperor would probably choose to swallow his anger, not join forces with Geely, nor win over Wuqu, and only maintain the status quo. Therefore, as long as Emperor Yanqing was not confused enough to help Geely, Xiao Yu made up his mind to not comment on Wuqu's robbery.

Emperor Yanqing saw Xiao Boyan's eight hundred miles of expedition last night, but in fact he was already inclined to calm down. It was because he knew that he had no choice but to vomit blood by Wuqu. Qi Wuqu ruined his marriage plan with Geely, and Qi Wuqu slapped him in the face in front of the whole world!

Xiao Yu did not speak, Emperor Yanqing deliberately asked the other two ministers of the peace, and then he went downstairs and sighed: "Jili is cunning. If I send troops, Qingcheng will be empty in defense. I may take the opportunity to attack... Liao Wen, when you go to see Wuqu, I will say that I will not interfere with him and Geely to take revenge. As long as Wuqu is willing to hand over the second princess, I will no longer pursue his revenge for robbing his daughter, otherwise I will send troops to take his head sooner or later!"

In order to show his imperial majesty, Emperor Yanqing almost used all his strength when he said this.

But majesty is not something that is spoken by words, but something that is earned by actions.

After the imperial throne, listening to Emperor Yanqing's deliberate cough, Jing Yi clenched his fists and suddenly walked to the center of the hall, knelt down and asked for an order: "Emperor, this is a thousand miles away from the Huns. Lord Liao is old. I am willing to persuade Wuqu on behalf of Lord Liao, and ask the emperor to be kind."

Since Wu Qu robbed people, he probably wouldn't return the second princess easily. Jing Yi had no hope at all. She just wanted to do her best to persuade Wu Qu to treat the second princess well.

Emperor Yanqing looked at this son-in-law and then the old censor Liao. Suddenly, he felt that sending his son-in-law could better show the majesty of the Great Zhou, so he agreed happily.

Jing Yi went back to his house to pack up his things.

Xiao Ting wanted to go with her, so Jing Yi helped him sit down and looked at his lower abdomen that was not yet showing his conceit and said, "The Imperial Doctor told you to rest. It's not safe for you to ride a carriage now, let alone ride a horse? Don't worry, I will whip my horse quickly and I will be back in ten days at the latest."

Xiao Ting also guessed that his wife could not take him there. Thinking about the miserable second princess, he said with a complicated expression: "The Huns are all barbarians, and the second princess is probably..."

The princesses are all beauties, and they are definitely not comparable to those women on the grasslands with wind and sun. Wuqu robbed the second princess, how can they not touch it? Even if Wuqu didn't touch the second princess, the second princess was still alive. If Wuqu seized Jing Yi intended to exchange for greater benefits from the Great Zhou side...

"How many people do you bring?" Xiao Ting nervously grabbed his wife's...big hand.

Jing Yi understood his concerns and whispered: "Impossible, the second princess is useless to the emperor. I am different. Even if the emperor doesn't care about me, and his father, what Wu Qu wants to deal with the most now is Geely. He will never dare to completely anger Da Zhou, otherwise Da Zhou will join forces with Geely, and he will definitely die."

That being said, Xiao Ting was still worried and hugged his wife tightly.

Jing Yi patted him on the shoulder and told him to take good care of the baby. She simply packed her robes and didn't eat lunch at home. She quickly left Beijing with two hundred guards and rushed straight to the Xiongnu. When she arrived in Qingcheng, Xiao Boyan was also sure that his son was safe and reminded her in a deep voice, and then sent three hundred soldiers to escort his son to Wuqu.

It had been four nights since Wuqu took the second princess.

During these four nights, Wuqu placed the second princess in a large tent next to him and sent two Hun maids to take care of him. In addition to accompanying the second princess for two meals, he also took the second princess to the tribe for a while. He stayed in his tent for the rest of the time and did not make any offense.

"The Shanyu, the envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty came, and the third son of Xiao Boyan, Xiao Ting, was the leader."

When Wu Qu heard this, he raised his eyebrows, put down the booklet in his hand, put on a big fan and came out of the tent.

Jing Yi was still right away and saw Wuqu walking by surrounded by several Huns. When he met his sharp and arrogant deep black eyes, Jing Yi's heart sank. In terms of body shape, Wuqu is not as strong as Geely and his son, but the ambition revealed by Wuqu's eyes is more alert than Geely and his son. No wonder Geely is so afraid of this person.

"Are you Xiao Ting?"

As we got closer, Wuqu stared at Jing Yi and asked.

Jing Yi did not answer and coldly glanced at the nearby camp tent: "Where is the second princess?"

"She is very good." Wu Qu said with a smile, "If the prince consort is here for the wedding, I will take you to see her immediately. If the prince consort is here to steal people, don't blame me for not treating too much."

Jing Yi turned around and asked the accompanying civil servant to announce the decree of Emperor Yanqing.

After hearing this, Wu Qu said regretfully: "I, Wu Qu, are sincerely marrying the Great Zhou. Since you, the emperor does not appreciate it, then forget it. However, the second princess is unparalleled in beauty. I like it very much. It is impossible to return it. The emperor wants to steal people, so he can send troops and Wu Qu will accompany you to the end!"

The civil servant looked back at Jing Yi.

Jing Yi looked calm and looked down at Wu Channel: "The Shanyu robbed the bride because he didn't want to see the marriage between Dazhou and Jili. Now the marriage has been abandoned. Why did Shanyu force himself to keep the second princess? The emperor once promised in front of all civil and military officials that as long as the Shanyu handed over the second princess, the account would be written off..."

"No need to say anything about the prince-consort." Wu Qu suddenly raised his hand and interrupted Jing Yi, with a hint of impatientness on his face: "Tomorrow is a good day for me and the second princess. For the sake of your and my brother-in-law, I sincerely leave you with a glass of wedding wine. If you want to drink, you will get off your horse and leave immediately if you don't want to drink!"

The Dog Emperor, if he doesn't want to marry, he won't marry, but the second princess is bound to marry him. He will get married tomorrow and send a post to the Dog Emperor next year, asking him to drink his son's full moon wine to see what the Dog Emperor can do to him.

"The prince consort..." The other party was arrogant and unreasonable, and the civil servant wanted to retreat, and he winked at the prince consort.

Jing Yi ignored him, turned over and dismounted, and said to Wu coldly: "I want to see the second princess."

Wu Qu looked at her, nodded, and took Jingyi to the second princess's tent personally.

The second princess had no idea what was going on outside, and sat in the inner tent blankly, feeling sad and confused. She was taken out by the maid and looked up to see Jing Yi. The second princess was very happy at first, and then she burst into tears. She quickly turned around to wipe her tears.

Wu Qu stared at the slender and weak back, thinking of the tears on the second princess's face, he pursed his lips.

"I have a few words to say to the second princess alone, can Shanyu do it convenient?"

"If you have something to say, there are so many rules." Wuqu sat in the main seat with great force and stared at Jing Yi unhappily.
