I want to be a good minister

Chapter 501

The news that His Royal Highness the Saintess of Dajing Kingdom will go to Houzhao Kingdom less than a month after leaving customs is like dropping a bomb on the whole Dajing, and most of the civil and military officials are against it.

Her Highness the Holy Maiden is the Queen of the Dajing Kingdom, even if she admires the Lord of the Houzhao Kingdom very much, it is unreasonable to go there in person.

"I'm afraid that the loyal minister didn't care much about the affairs of the subordinate country today. The Lord of Houzhao country is seriously ill. I'm afraid time is running out. If you ask him to come to Dajing, I'm afraid he won't be able to come—"

Cen Xi spoke unhurriedly, talking about the non-existent dust on his sleeves, sitting on the throne for a while, the previous nervousness and restraint, now replaced by a different feeling, in addition, at this moment, Cen Xi is not at all No patience to sit here.

The image of Mr. Anxiu from the past was in his mind all day long, and the news Zongli got was: the Lord of Houzhao Kingdom had an old illness since he was a child.

She was sure that Mr. An Xiu had no hidden illness, and during the period of time with her, there was no sign of a short life.He is now the lord of a country, how could he die of a serious illness in such a short period of time?
"This—" The loyal minister was stunned. Why did His Highness suddenly care so much about the Lord of Houzhao? It is reasonable to say that one-third of Houzhao's iron mining rights are already owned by Dajing. Does His Highness have a bigger plan?

However, all the courtiers at the bottom quit. According to the current situation, if His Highness makes this trip, it will inevitably arouse huge repercussions from the major dependent countries, and the courtiers also represent the interests of each dependent country. Therefore, Your Highness After customs clearance, the first trip is very important.

"This matter has been settled. During these days when Gu leaves, Zongxuan will act as the government agent, and the two ministers will take care of each other. Your Majesty and Gu will go to Houzhao country together—" Cen Xi has no patience at all.

All the ministers looked at their lord, lord, this Houzhao country is already like this, it is absolutely possible to draw another ally, even if it is Ziyan country, Heze country or something, it is better.

Zong Li also didn't understand why Xiaoxian would be so "concerned" about a ruler of the Houzhao Kingdom who had never met before. He could even see that this kind of concern came from the heart, revealed from the inside out, concealed and concealed Can't live.

However, although she wakes up for a long time, Zong Li faintly feels that she is different from ordinary people, and seems to be able to sense some things that they have not noticed at all, such as Wei Dingguo, he believes that this Houzhaoguo may Some are different, which is why Xiaoxian cares so much.

Cen Xi urged the team to go out again and again, and they couldn't even wait for the next morning, and set off in a hurry in the afternoon and dusk.

A group of civil and military ministers came to their senses, and when they were about to make the final persuasion early the next morning, they were told that Her Majesty's team had already left before sunset, and they were already hundreds of miles away.

News was constantly being passed on, and Cen Xi held the news he had concentrated in his hands, but he still couldn't figure out what happened to make a young man under twenty suddenly so seriously ill.

"Zong Li, what do you think?" Cen Xi turned to look at Zong Li.

Cen Xi even rejected the luxurious palace-like carriage that Zongli traveled in the past, and instead chose a lighter and faster simple carriage. Said to be a simple carriage, it is also twice the size of an ordinary carriage, and all the items are the best. Comfortable and soft silk brocade, on the mat made of Polygonatum odoratum, there is a brazier.

Sitting on the comfortable cushion, Cen Xi spread out the urgent letters in his hand on the table for Zong Li to read.

"What do you suspect, Your Highness?" Zong Li said, his eyes quietly falling on the nearly ten messages that had been turned over and over in the woman's hands dozens of times.

According to what he said, these urgent letters were sent back by his people, and they were just passing on news, seeking truth from facts, and what is important in news delivery is the truth.

Therefore, he never doubted the news from his own people.

"Don't you think there is something strange about Houzhao Guoguoguo's illness?" Seeing this, Cen Xi restrained his urgency and spoke patiently. "After all, Mr. Anxiu is an upright man, and he has never had any hidden illnesses. He suddenly became seriously ill..."

"Your Highness suspects that Mr. Anxiu is a fake illness and what is he planning?" Zong Li asked, already having an answer in his heart. Jun took the initiative to let it out.

So he hoped that Mr. Anxiu was alive, Zong Li moved his fingers slightly, did he suspect that he had done something wrong?

"No, I mean he is very sick." Cen Xi shook his head, "I just think he shouldn't have died so early."

Cen Xi didn't know what he was going to say, or what he didn't believe.

"Mr. Anxiu was originally Mr. Anle, His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince of the Houzhao Kingdom. It is said that Mr. Anle was born in the name of Mr. Anxiu because of a hidden illness..." Zong Li said slowly, looking at one of them. sheet of paper.

"It's just a rumor—" Cen Xi shook his head exhaustedly. It was only the prophecy of the national teacher that there would be Mr. Anxiu, the non-existent prince of the Houzhao Kingdom, and it was not some hidden disease.

This is unbelief.

"There is a dispute between Houzhao State and Ziyan State. It is possible that they belong to the same clan." Zong Li said again.

Cen Xi was so tired that he shook his head again, it was impossible with the national teacher around.

Zong Li paused with her fingers, but her face was still calm. She should have felt something.

"Since this is the case, there is only one last reason left." Zong Li said, is this a prophet?But every queen has not shown such a weird ability to predict the future.

Even in the Queen's Handbook, it is recorded in detail that if one wants to discover the future, one must go through strict and complicated rituals.

"The last one?" Cen Xi was taken aback for a moment, not understanding the meaning of Zong Li's words, then looked at the letters, frowning slightly.

Three of these letters recorded in detail everything that happened to the ruler of the Houzhao Kingdom in the past two months. The next one is the last one related to illness.

And only a few words.

"Houzhao Guo'an Xiujun, because of the color of his close ministers, the food and lodging have been reduced, and he is too worried—"

Cen Xi retracted his hands in a panic, as if he had touched some untouchable sword light, and his figure was a little dazed.

"You think he was overly sad because of the death of a close minister..." Cen Xi raised her head strangely, and what An Xiujun said suddenly flooded into her mind. An Xiujun confessed, even before her I liked it when I was a boy.

her death?
Cen Xi shook her head subconsciously, it's impossible, how could it be possible, even if her relationship with An Xiujun is deep, even if she is heartbroken, it should slowly dissipate with the passage of time.

"Your Highness, why don't you think it's not possible? At the beginning, Houzhaoguo spread the madness, saying that Mr. Anxiu and that close minister are inseparable, which is very good..." Zong Li felt a strange feeling in his heart, but he denied it the next moment. up.

His Highness has never been to Houzhao Country, so naturally it is impossible to have anything to do with Mr. Anxiu, even if it is, it should be the prophet who she can't control at present seems to be vaguely guiding something.

In any case, the Lord of the Houzhao Kingdom should be the key to the next battle between the Dajing Kingdom and the Bishan Kingdom.
