Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 561
"My lord!"

The deputy envoy of Liang State rushed towards him, crying and shouting as if mourning.

At this time, the group of assassins committed suicide by taking poison, or broke through and escaped. Li Jiye was already safe.

However, because at the beginning, Li Jiye seemed to have been punched by an assassin and fell into a coma. He has not yet woken up.

Li Jiye was lying there, surrounded by plainclothes guards, with only Li Qingnu standing by.

Zhu Xiuyuan and the others began to study those assassins.

But they were all assassins, so they must be very clean, and nothing was found that could prove their identities.

But it was not without discovery. Yan Dashan discovered the face of an assassin, who was different from the people from the Central Plains. It looked...it seemed to be a member of the Dafan Empire on the southwest plateau.

This is a meaningful discovery, Zhu Xiuyuan and the others gathered there to discuss this issue.

Just at this time, the deputy envoy of Liang State came with his people.

He screamed and threw himself next to Li Jiye, as if mourning, which made Li Qingnu's eyelids jump.

Really unlucky.

But it's not easy to drive away. After all, this envoy has brought people here, and he is still from the Liang Kingdom...

"Uncle Jiang Cheng!"

The Liang deputy envoy howled for a while, suddenly stood up, shouted, and turned to stare at Zhu Xiuyuan.

His gaze is like a sword!

The Liang soldiers he brought with him also gathered around him at the right time, and they all looked coldly at Zhu Xiuyuan opposite him.

"Jiang Chengbo colluded with the assassins to plot the life of our envoy from the Liang Kingdom. The crime is serious. Come here, take Jiang Chengbo down first, and send him back to the Liang Kingdom tomorrow, and leave it to His Majesty to deal with!"

Deputy Ambassador Liang Guo put a "hat" on Zhu Xiuyuan with a wave of his hand.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Liang soldiers, who were as big and round as iron towers, immediately gathered around and prepared to capture Zhu Xiuyuan.

"presumptuous!"

"Don't think about it!"

Behind Zhu Xiuyuan, Nayan Dashan and Dong Shuzhen immediately jumped out, protected him in front of Zhu Xiuyuan, and faced the approaching Liang soldiers.

At the same time, the plainclothes generals from the Jiangcheng Bofu also gathered around and confronted the Liang soldiers.

Although the troops on both sides stopped, the smell of gunpowder suddenly increased, and they saw that a conflict was about to break out.

The people watching the excitement around them retreated one after another, for fear of being offended.

"Stop me all!"

As the swords were drawn, a stern voice suddenly sounded.

But it turned out that it was Li Qingnu who realized something was wrong and she had to step forward.

If Liang's deputy envoy is allowed to continue making trouble, it may cause even greater trouble.

"The assassin has nothing to do with Uncle Jiang Cheng. I have seen it with my own eyes. You and others should stand down!"

Li Qingnu stepped forward. Although her temples were crooked and her clothes were still covered with dust, she walked slowly, showing the aura of Princess Anle of Liang without anger.

The people of Liang State have a tough folk custom. Even the women in the boudoir are good at it, and they prefer to ride horses and shoot arrows.

As a princess, Li Qingnu is even more outstanding.

It's just that Li Qingnu didn't show that side in front of Zhu Xiuyuan and the others.

Her royal brother would lecture her even if she strayed a little bit, let alone show his martial side.

But now, if the tiger doesn't show off its power, I'm afraid it won't be able to suppress those big and round Liang soldiers.

"Your Highness, this matter is really strange. Uncle Jiang Cheng is too suspicious..." Deputy Envoy Liang immediately bowed and lowered his hands.

The Liang soldiers all turned around in a daze, neither retreating nor continuing to capture Zhu Xiuyuan.

Li Qingnu glared at the deputy envoy of the Liang Kingdom, and then stared at the soldiers of the Liang Kingdom. He raised his eyebrows and shouted sweetly: "I am also an envoy. You don't listen to the envoy, but you listen to the orders of the deputy envoy. You Are you going to rebel?"

"Subordinates dare not wait!"

The soldiers of Liang State hurriedly retreated.

"your Highness……"

"Shut up!" Like an angry tigress, Li Qingnu turned around and stared at Deputy Envoy Liang: "I remember that the emperor punished you not to give permission and not to step out of the post house!"

"Why are you here now? Are the emperor's words falling on deaf ears?" Li Qingnu was not angry and assertive, and her temperament was perfectly controlled.

"Uh...this...your highness the princess..." Liang Guo's deputy envoy hesitated.

"Uncle Jiang Cheng, Uncle Jiang Cheng..." At this moment, three eunuchs arrived. One in front was Eunuch Zhang, and there were two young eunuchs behind him.

The father-in-law's voice was extremely loud. When he shouted, he immediately drew everyone's attention.

"Uncle, Your Majesty has summoned you urgently... It turns out that Princess An Le and the Deputy Envoy of Liang Guo are also there, so we will not make a further trip to our house. Your Majesty also invites Princess An Le and the Deputy Envoy to enter the palace to discuss matters..."

After Eunuch Zhang finished speaking in one breath, he held his waist and breathed heavily.

This matter was urgent, and he had run all the way here, which exhausted him.

Zhu Xiuyuan stepped forward, cupped his hands to Li Qingnu and said, "Your Highness, this matter is strange. We might as well enter the palace and discuss it carefully with everyone..."

"Uncle Jiang Cheng..." In formal occasions, Li Qingnu did not call him senior brother. "Brother Huang has not woken up yet. I need to be by your side at all times and cannot leave him."

"Your Highness, please go down. Your Highness, please rest assured that I will definitely escape to justice!"

Liang Guo's deputy envoy stared at Zhu Xiuyuan with his eagle eyes: "No one who colludes with assassins to assassinate the prince can escape!"

Zhu Xiuyuan frowned for a moment, but didn't take it to heart. He just said, "I think it's okay. What do you think, Princess?"

Li Qingnu thought for a while, the deputy envoy of Liang Guo was, after all, the deputy envoy of Liang Guo. Now that she couldn't leave, this was the only way she could do it, so she nodded in agreement.

Zhu Xiuyuan briefly explained to Dong Shuzhen and the others, and then prepared to enter the palace with the deputy envoy of Liang Guo to discuss the matter.

At this time, Dong Cheng arrived with people.

After figuring out the situation, Dong Cheng also followed him into the palace. Because Dong Cheng was the governor of Runzhou, he had to bear the responsibility for such a big thing in Beijing, and he was also invited to the palace to discuss matters.

As soon as everyone took two steps, the young Sikou arrived with the police. After everyone exchanged a few words, the young Sikou followed them into the palace.

So Zhu Xiuyuan, Dong Cheng, Shao Sikou, Deputy Envoy of Liang State, etc., under the guidance of Eunuch Zhang, rushed straight to the palace.

at the same time.

The ministers of the DPRK, such as the Prime Minister Li Zhong, the six ministers, King Zhongshan, the generals of the armies near the capital, and other related yamen chiefs, also rushed to the palace.

The Royal Forest Guards stationed in the capital went out in full force, sealed the city gates, and conducted a large-scale search, causing panic among the people in the city.

Everyone went home and hid for fear of getting into trouble.

The entire capital city was suddenly deserted, as if it were a wartime situation.Jinling Palace.

When King Jinling heard the news, he was overjoyed.

He hurried to the living room of the mansion and invited his brother King Kuaiji and Chen Dongyi, the counselor of the mansion, to discuss matters in the living room.

After a while, counselor Chen Dongyi arrived, but his servants said that the King of Kuaiji was not in the palace and had gone somewhere.

So the King of Jinling ignored the King of Kuaiji and only discussed with Chen Dongyi.

"Sir, this is really a great joy, hahaha..."

The King of Jinling was so happy that he laughed so hard.

"Not to mention that Zhu Xiuyuan was almost killed by an assassin, just the fact that the Qianwang of the Liang Kingdom, who traveled with him and was almost assassinated in front of Dong Yulou's gate, is enough for Zhu Xiuyuan to drink a pot!"

"Sir, you have always been very resourceful. Please make a plan for me, sir, how to use this matter to bring Zhu Xiuyuan's army together. If you can completely overthrow him, that would be even better!"

King Jinling had a cheerful smile on his face and looked at Chen Dongyi expectantly.

Chen Dongyi's eyelids twitched, and he was not in a hurry to speak. He just twisted his beard with one hand and put the other behind his back. He turned around and walked a few steps.

Appears to be thinking.

King Jinling did not disturb him and just waited quietly.

This was really a good opportunity. He secretly decided to seize this opportunity and trick Zhu Xiuyuan.

Chen Dongyi twirled his beard with one hand. After walking for several steps, he suddenly turned around, stopped twirling his beard, and his eyes shone with wisdom.

And he said loudly: "No, Your Majesty, we should not harm Uncle Jiang Cheng, but should give him a strong help to help him overcome this difficulty!"

What?
King Jinling still had an expectant smile on his face. Why did it feel wrong when he heard these words?

He couldn't help digging his ears with his hands, thinking that he had heard wrong.

"Sir, you..."

After picking his ears twice, King Jinling realized that he had heard correctly. Chen Dongyi had indeed said that.

He couldn't help but frown and stared at Chen Dongyi with a look of disbelief on his face.

If Chen Dongyi had not proposed the strategy of "marrying Princess Anle of Liang to obtain help from Liang", King Jinling would have been furious.

Although, the strategy of marrying Princess Anle does not seem to be so easy to implement, because it is impossible for him to even get close to Princess Anle.

However, this strategy is indeed a very good strategy. His grandfather Li Zhong and his mother, Queen Li, all think that this move is promising.

"Your Majesty, please listen to the little man tell me in detail."

"Okay, sir, please tell me."

The smile on King Jinling's face gradually faded. He wanted to hear how Chen Dongyi persuaded him.

"Your Majesty, there are two reasons why I suggested that Your Majesty help Uncle Jiang Cheng."

"First, it is to win the favor of Princess Anle."

"Huh?" King Jinling frowned, how could he say this?

"My lord, please think about it. The Qianwang of the Liang Kingdom is called brother and brother with Jiang Chengbo, and they have a very good personal relationship. And that Princess An Le also has a very close personal relationship with Jiang Chengbo's wife. They are all called teachers and sisters."

Chen Dongyi twirled his beard with one hand and said slowly.

"Well, that's right. I have seen it with my own eyes and what you said is true." King Jinling nodded.

"As the saying goes, Princess Anle cannot marry Uncle Jiang Cheng, but with these two relationships, the friendship between Princess Anle and Uncle Jiang Cheng must be deep!"

"And, Princess Anle also calls Uncle Jiang Cheng 'senior brother' in private."

King Jinling nodded. Although he didn't like Princess Anle being too close to Zhu Xiuyuan, what Chen Dongyi said was also true.

"In the assassination this time, although the Qianwang of the Liang Kingdom almost died on the spot, but the villain heard that Jiang Chengbo was also almost stabbed to death by a dagger. Xin had a follower to rescue him, and he survived."

"In this case, Princess Anle will definitely not think that Uncle Jiang Cheng has any collusion with the assassins, and she will think that Uncle Jiang Cheng is innocent!"

"Then, if the prince goes to court and vows to harm Uncle Jiang Cheng, he will definitely arouse Princess Anle's disgust!"

"If the prince arouses the dislike of Princess Anle, then the prince's plan will be even more difficult to implement, and it will not be beneficial to the prince's future. In fact, the plan to marry Princess Anle will be completely ruined!"

"hiss!"

King Jinling took a breath of air and seemed to be moved, but did not speak.

Chen Dongyi smiled slightly and continued: "The second reason is related to His Majesty."

"Oh, what does this have to do with my father?"

"Your Majesty, please think about it, why does His Majesty favor Jiang Chengbo, and why does Jiang Chengbo become a big celebrity around His Majesty?"

"Hmm..." King Jinling was stunned. He really hadn't thought about this issue.

But this was an obvious thing. He thought about it and said: "Zhu Xiuyuan... first had methods to prevent and control the plague, and then used new weapons such as divine thunder to stop the [-] Yan army from the city..."

"Due to the accumulation of multiple merits, my father named Zhu Xiuyuan an earl..."

King Jinling said, his face gradually darkened.

In terms of talent, ten of them are not as good as one Uncle Jiangcheng!
"Your Majesty is right. Later, Uncle Jiang Cheng formed the Divine Thunder Army, established the Divine Thunder Workshop, and organized martial arts competitions... All these events were actually approved by His Majesty. So, have you ever thought about why His Majesty approved these things? "

"Uh... this... please give me some advice, sir."

"Because His Majesty wants to strengthen the army and create a military branch similar to the Jiangzhou garrison!"

A smile appeared on Chen Dongyi's face: "Your Majesty, just a few thousand Jiangzhou defenders, using divine thunder, were able to resist fifty thousand Yan troops for ten days. Your Majesty, just imagine, what if there were ten thousand of this kind of army? What about thirty thousand?" Where’s fifty thousand?”

"hiss!"

King Jinling took a breath of air again.

He had really never considered this kind of issue. Now that Chen Dongyi mentioned it, he thought about it carefully and seemed to understand why Chen Huang reused Zhu Xiuyuan.

"My lord, I'm guessing that once the Divine Thunder Army is fully trained, it will probably not be afraid of the soldiers of the Liang Kingdom!"

"So powerful?" King Jinling was frightened.

"Yes, it is precisely because of this that Your Majesty will spare no effort to support Uncle Jiang Cheng! In other words, Your Majesty will never give up on Uncle Jiang Cheng easily!"

"Besides, from all indications, this assassination incident has nothing to do with Uncle Jiang Cheng, so His Majesty will definitely protect Uncle Jiang Cheng."

"If the prince goes to the court here to harm Uncle Jiang Cheng, he will definitely be on the opposite side of his majesty. This move will cause his majesty's displeasure!"

"On the contrary, if the prince supports Uncle Jiang Cheng, he will stand on the same line as his majesty. In this way, he can gain your majesty's favor and be of great benefit to the prince's great cause!"

"Your Majesty, the above two points are the two reasons why the villain thinks that Uncle Jiang Cheng should be helped. Please make your decision!" Chen Dongyi bowed deeply.

King Jinling pondered for a long time, then he personally helped Chen Dongyi up with both hands and said with a smile: "Thank you sir for your guidance, I almost made a big mistake!"
