Chapter 192
Lu Wushuang grew up with Mo Yuan and others since childhood, so there are naturally conflicts, but now he suddenly died. After all, he couldn't accept it all at once. He only felt a tingling pain in his heart. Mo Yuan died so bizarrely.
In fact, Lu Wushuang even more suspected that she was the mastermind under Shao Shuhuan, but now she has no evidence and can't say anything.
"What are you still standing there?" Murphy shouted, "Why are a girl running around without saying goodbye to stay in her bedroom?"
Lu Wushuang had no choice but to kowtow and get up, bow and retreat with Xiaoya.
"Sister, this is all... that's it?" Xiaoya asked weakly, "Is brother really dead?"
Seeing that there was no one around me, Lu Wushuang whispered: "When I went in, my brother's body was hanging straight in the prison. I looked at Na Lehen, it didn't look like he committed suicide."
"So, my sister is suspicious..." Xiaoya asked in surprise.
Lu Wushuang hurriedly covered her mouth and whispered: "If Brother did not commit suicide, there was only one person who was the most suspicious."
"Shao Shuhuan?" Xiaoya was not stupid, so she naturally guessed it as soon as she guessed it.
Lu Wushuang nodded and said, "I really can't understand why my father wanted to live in Qingyao City? Originally, my brother wanted to live once, but it was not accurate. There were also those two girls. He Wang knew that the two girls were the second brother's people, but he was sent to him to command him, and something went wrong in the end."
"What did my sister say?" Xiaoya asked in confusion with big eyes.
"Sh----" Lu Wushuang whispered in a low voice, "Speak quietly. Those two girls were originally waiting for the Wenyuan Pavilion. They were from the place around his father. But they had always been very close to their second brother..."
"The second brother is really a mess!" Xiaoya shook her head and said, "He dares to move people around her father?"
"I think I've never dared to do it. However, those two girls and him have always been in love. After a while, I'm afraid I'm a little confused. The father later gave the two girls to Shao Shuhuan. The brother's temper is. Do you know who else has he been afraid of besides the father? He went to the Qingban in Jiuzhou to have an affair with the two girls. The son..." Lu Wushuang couldn't help but sigh.
Mo Yuan got this step and was self-defeated. However, after all, the three of them have been playing with each other since childhood. Mo Yuan is irritable and is very good to his two sisters.
"I just can't understand why my father is so nice to Shao Shuhuan. He is the child of the Northern Zhou emperor..." Xiaoya asked in confusion.
Lu Wushuang hurriedly looked around and whispered: "I went to Northern Zhou this time and found out a horrifying news. But he didn't dare to reveal any of the rumors..."
"What?" Xiaoya whispered, "Good sister. Tell me, I won't tell anyone..."
While the two of them were talking, they had already arrived in front of Xiuyu Palace. Their palace maids came up. Xiaoya was still thinking about the question just now. When she arrived at the bedroom, she played all the palace maids and asked in a low voice: "Sister, what is the news? Lu Wushuang hugged her shoulders. She lay in her ear and whispered a few words.
When Xiaoya heard this, she changed her face and asked in surprise: "Is there such a thing?"
"There will not be wind, there are always some roots. But think about it, among so many princes, Brother Yuan and Brother Wu, I, after all, are not my father's biological son. I am a little different, but the third brother, fourth brother, sister Yun, who is the father so good to me?" Lu Wushuang said.
"You are justified, but not to mention that there is no real evidence for this kind of thing, even if there is, it is impossible to talk nonsense." Xiaoya sighed.
"Well..." Lu Wushuang nodded, "There are many discussions in the court recently, all about Shao Shuhuan."
"Oh?" Xiaoya said, "What have you said?"
"He is the prince of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He is also a prince who cannot be orthodox. In Ming Dynasty, he is just Shao She's youngest son, but now in my country, he is involved in government affairs, reviewing memorials, and even listening to politics in the morning court. Looking at his father's intentions, it is really worrying." Lu Wushuang said.
"The father favored him a little, but he would not joke with the people about the foundation of the Xia Kingdom. Sister, please rest assured." Xiaoya smiled.
"Who is the emperor, isn't it the same?" Lu Wushuang sneered, "Xiaoya, don't you know that our father's Jiang Shang Jiye was also snatched by Yin Pu, the former Southern Yin Emperor - the father's intention is really hard to say."
"Isn't there any minister in the court who objected?" Xiaoya asked.
"You also know that some of the court officials in the court are mostly close friends around their fathers back then. Who would refute it? Even Lord Wu was even in favor of it." Lu Wushuang sneered.
"But------No matter what the father thinks, shouldn't we support it?" Xiaoya smiled.
Lu Wushuang shook his head and said, "If it's something else, we should all support what the father wants to do, but the country is the same as the grand throne?"
"I don't care about that. It's my sister's fault for opposing it. I'm on my father's side..." Xiaoya smiled faintly, "But sister, be careful yourself. Now Brother Yuan has gone..."
"What?" Lu Wushuang was shocked and asked anxiously, "Xiaoya, what do you mean?"
Xiaoya sneered, "I just reminded my sister not to be too eager for quick success and instant benefits. We girls are just waiting to get married. Why bother with these hard-working things? My sister is too busy with some things and makes too much trouble, so she carefully follows the footsteps of her brother." As she said that, she ignored Lu Wushuang and called her close maid to take a bath and change clothes. After taking a little snack, she took a rest in the bedroom.
But Lu Wushuang was in a daze under the lamp. This sister Xiaoya, who has always been shy and timid, can only wipe her eyes and tears when she has such a sharp side, has made her see through her mind easily?
Mo Yuan's death seemed to have not stirred up any turmoil in the Southern Xia national affairs at all. Shao Shuhuan had to admire Murphy's absolute control over the regime again.
If this happened in the Great Zhou Kingdom, I would have been a big fuss. However, in the morning court the next day, Shao Shuhuan learned to rule the country from behind the curtain.
In addition to the Ministry of Rites asking for an order, Murphy said unhappily: "Buried according to the rituals of civilians!"
Even if this matter is finished, a prince died, it seems that it is no different from a beggar on the side of the road. As for his obedience to the curtain, all the court officials seemed to be blind. No one asked, who was behind the curtain?
Shao Shuhuan analyzed it seriously and came to a conclusion that the regime of the Southern Xia Kingdom was completely in the hands of Murphy and Wu Junzhuo. All the remaining departments were trying to figure out Murphy's intentions and did things. They would never dare to have any disobedience.
This is completely different from the Great Zhou Kingdom. Sometimes even the Emperor of Zhou could not make decisions. The relationship between the court officials, princes, nobles and ministers was even more complicated and complicated.
Let’s talk about the day when the Great Zhou Dynasty chose an auspicious day. Shao She, Zheng Wen and others bid farewell to everyone in the court, and took Princess Muhua all the way south to Nanxia to discuss peace.
Along the way, it was surprisingly calm. After the mission crossed the Heishui River, the Southern Xia Kingdom welcomed the bride and the Ministry of Rites and others came to welcome him. They rested in the inn and walked for a month and a half, and finally arrived at Chang'an City, the capital of Nanxia Kingdom in early autumn.
It was Zheng Wen's first time to come to the capital of Nanxia Kingdom, so everything was fresh. He couldn't help but look around. After entering the city, he smiled and said to Shao She: "Mr. Shao, this capital of Nanxia Kingdom is not an ordinary land!"
Shao She half-squinted his eyes and looked at the high city wall. After a while, he said: "That's right--the geographical scope of Chang'an City may be slightly larger than that of our capital, but the territory is not as large as that of our country!"
Zheng Wen nodded quickly and said, "That's it!" Then he looked around and saw that due to the suitable climate in Nanxia Kingdom, even in the city, there were tall trees everywhere, and some red flowers bloomed on some flower trees with unknown names. "Does Lord Shao know what kind of flower this is?"
"This is called a phoenix flower!" Shao She looked up and stared at the flowers that were as bright as flames, and sighed, "In another half a month, the entire Chang'an City will be shrouded under this phoenix flower. That kind of beauty is shocking and makes people feel a little palpitations. Lord Zheng. We are here at the right time. You can enjoy this beautiful scenery like the morning glow reflecting the sun."
Zheng Wen nodded with a smile, and the two of them talked a few times. Then someone from the Ministry of Rites of the Nanxia State asked the delegation to rest at the inn, and then arranged to meet the Emperor of the Nanxia State.
Princess Muhua was arranged in a small courtyard alone. In addition to the personal palace maids, Nanxia Kingdom also sent a waiter to serve. Shao She also lived alone to see the small courtyard. Anyway, the itinerary was planned by relevant officials. As long as he knew, he would succeed. If he failed, he would change it.
There are even many unnecessary occasions, and he doesn't need to come forward, just with Zheng Wen.
"Mr. Shao----" Zheng Wen handed over the itinerary and said with a smile, "The minister of the Ministry of Rites of Nanxia will be sent by him tomorrow morning to meet the saint."
"Well..." Shao She replied indecisively, "Murphy" has been no see for a long time...
"The afternoon is some negotiations between our country and the Nanxia Kingdom!" Zheng Wendao.
"Oh, then okay, just go and talk!" Shao She replied lightly.
"Sir, don't you go?" Zheng Wen frowned. Negotiating him is not his specialty.
"There is nothing to talk about!" Shao She said, "For the marriage between our two countries, we must repair it and make the territory issue after the resignation---our our country must never be ceded. Anyway, His Majesty the Emperor of Nanxia will not really want our country to cede territory. I have something to do tomorrow afternoon..."
Tomorrow afternoon, he will go to see Wu Junzhuo and inquire about Shao Shuhuan's whereabouts.
Since Shao Shuhuan arrived in Chang'an City, he completely cut off all news from him. His main task this time was to find a way to take Shao Shuhuan back.
If he wanted to know Shao Shuhuan's whereabouts, he no longer wanted to use his own power to search. It would rather ask Wu Junzhuo directly. Anyway, the old fox definitely knew it.
Thinking of this, Shao She stood up and walked out.
"Mr. Shao, where are you going?" Zheng Wen asked anxiously.
"Go out for a walk!" Shao She looked at the sky. In the evening, the early autumn evening was not as hot as summer, with a cool breeze, which was very suitable for a walk or something.
"Sir, this is the Nanxia Kingdom, you still..." Zheng Wen was afraid that he would have something to do, so he was busy stopping it.
"Oh, it's okay, I'll walk around nearby." Shao She said, wearing some green casual clothes, slowly walking out. The streets of Chang'an City were mostly paved with blue stones, and the two were gray houses, reflecting the phoenix flowers that were only available in Chang'an City, Nanxia Kingdom, making the entire capital look particularly simple and beautiful.
Shao She walked slowly along the Qingshi Street. The prosperity on the street was naturally no less than that of the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Because he was wearing casual clothes, no one was surprised by his identity.
Suddenly, pedestrians on the street hurriedly dispersed twice. Shao She was stunned and instinctively gave in. He saw a pair of guards in armor, accompanied by weapons, surrounded by a green canopy, and the carriage was slowly coming. The carriage was hung with a yellow apricot curtain, which showed that the person in the carriage was not an ordinary identity.
Shao She stared at the armor of the guards carefully, and was surprised: "Dragon Guard? Could it be that the person on the car is Murphy?"
Until the carriage was far away, the streets replied again. Shao She called an old man next to him and asked, "Hello, old man, I'm here from afar. May I ask---Who is the person on the carriage just now?"
The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know!" and then went hurriedly.
Shao She was extremely suspicious. The Dragon Police Guard was Murphy's personal guard at the time. If the person in the carriage was not Murphy himself, he would probably be the prince, but there were rules that did not seem to be the prince going out.
If the prince went out privately, there would definitely not be so many guards. Since he went out privately, he would naturally be sneaky. At most, he would only take a few guards with him and would never show off like this now.
With a lot of suspicion, Shao She slowly walked back. The next morning, he got up and changed his clothes. After washing, he got into the carriage that entered the palace and lifted up the curtain. The rising sun in the east seemed a little dazzling.
Habitually squinted his eyes, he couldn't help but think of the carriage yesterday, the Longguanguard with neat military appearance in front of and behind the carriage. In a trance, a scene on the banks of the Black Water River swayed in front of his eyes---
That night, he met Murphy, the legendary god of war, who was about the same age as him, with a strong and square face, not handsome, but definitely not ugly.
It was also on that day that he saw Wu Junzhuo, who had been famous for a long time. Only when he looked at each other, both of them felt the oppressive force on each other.
Walk with you!
Shao She sighed. At that moment, he knew that as long as Murphy had Wu Junzhuo, he would be an invincible myth, and he would be the God of War...
Eighteen years have passed since the Hei Shui River, and things have changed...
In front of the palace gate, except Zheng Wen, there were several people in the mission who could reach the higher level. They followed him to the palace to meet the saint. Through the corridor, they were as neat as a stone carving, and the towering palace opposite was already in sight.
A eunuch dragged his sharp voice and said loudly: "The Northern Zhou envoys arrived----"
Mingyue has been updated, and she shyly stretched out her hand, asking for a reward from all the readers, alas...
