Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 213 He's a Smart Man
As soon as March arrives, spring is warm and flowers bloom, and a hundred flowers bloom, as if the spring breeze in March revives the earth.

All the princes have already entered the capital one after another, staying in their respective palaces, and envoys from all over the country have also arrived one after another, making the imperial capital unprecedentedly lively.

On the second day of March, three days before Feng Jin's birthday, news of the long-lost Prince Saya finally came.

He unexpectedly arrived outside the imperial capital without saying a word, brought envoys and countless gifts, and said that he would celebrate the queen's birthday.

When Feng Jin received this news, she was shocked.

"From the Xiongnu to the Great Zhou Dynasty, you have to pass through the northern border. So many people crossed the defense line of the northern border, and the northern border didn't notice it? Also, from the northern border to the imperial capital, it is more than 2000 miles. Prince Saya traveled all the way. None of the officials noticed something was wrong?"

"The imperial capital is prosperous, and there are often Huns, Western Regions, Eastern Japanese, and merchants from all over the Ryukyu who come to the imperial capital to do business. Prince Saya disguised himself as a merchant, and was exposed to the wind and the sun all the way. So the officials along the road did not become suspicious."

Wuming paused, then said in a deep voice, "Also, no one thought that Prince Saya would come to Dazhou."

"Then how did he cross the northern border defense line?"

"It's not a wartime now. The borders of northern Xinjiang are open to trade. There are often Huns and Dazhou people doing business at the border. It is also feasible for Prince Saya to disguise himself as a merchant and sneak in."

Wuming said, and took a deep look at Feng Jin, "A Jin, these things are unavoidable. People who want to come to Dazhou will always have a way to come in. Unless the border is completely closed, that is impossible. The most important thing Yes, no one thought that Prince Saya, who had been missing for so long, would sneak up here to celebrate Ajin's birthday."

"Happy birthday? I think it's a weasel giving a New Year greeting to a chicken, so don't worry about it!"

Feng Jin sneered and said, "If he was sincere in celebrating his birthday, why didn't he send a letter in advance to inform the Ministry of Rites? Why did he sneak around like a thief? Such behavior makes people have to doubt the intention of the Western Huns!"

"I think Prince Saya is a smart man."

Feng Jin frowned and glanced at Wuming, held back his anger, and said sullenly, "Tell me."

"Ajin, think about it, what would happen if Prince Saya came to the Great Zhou Imperial Capital with great fanfare?"

Feng Jin frowned, "You mean, if people know that he's coming to the imperial capital, troubles will arise?"

"First of all, the Eastern Huns. Originally, the Eastern Huns and the Western Huns, since they joined forces to fight the Great Zhou 11 years ago, the Huns have been at odds with the Great Zhou. This is also the tacit consensus of the Eastern Huns and the Western Huns. There has been a stalemate, and no one cares about anyone, let alone sending a prince to celebrate the emperor's birthday. This time, Prince Saya came to visit suddenly. I guess it is because the Western Huns have been suppressed by the Eastern Huns recently. The only way is to take advantage of Ah Jin’s birthday to come to Dazhou for help, hoping to use the power of Dazhou to counter the Eastern Huns.”

"But I can guess the purpose of Prince Saya's visit. If the Eastern Huns know that Prince Saya is coming to the imperial capital, they must also know his purpose. Therefore, the whereabouts of Prince Saya must be kept secret, otherwise if the Eastern Huns find out, there will be two Two situations happen, one, also send the prince to the imperial capital to prevent Prince Saya and Da Zhou from joining forces, and two, send someone to assassinate Prince Saya. No matter which one is, it is not what the Western Huns want to see. Prince Saya waits until he leaves There are only three days left for Jin Shouchen, and he will not announce his identity until he has arrived outside the imperial capital. Even if the Eastern Huns received the news, it would be too late to send people over. If they wanted to assassinate him, it would be very difficult in the imperial capital. success."

"This is only one aspect. On the other hand, in the great war 11 years ago, hundreds of thousands of sons died in Dazhou. Many people hated the Huns. If Prince Sayer were to know his identity as the Huns prince, I am afraid that the journey would be indispensable." Assassination. Therefore, I said that he concealed his whereabouts, put down his princely figure, pretended to be an ordinary businessman, lived in the open, and was not afraid of hard work to come to Dazhou, he is a smart man!"

After hearing Wuming's words, Feng Jin fell into silence, and sighed quietly for a long time, "I don't like him."

"Ah Jin doesn't care if she likes it or not, as long as it's beneficial."

"You also want me to join forces with the Western Huns?"

Feng Jin frowned, her voice was muffled, and Wuming smiled, "The smaller the difference in power between the Eastern Huns and the Western Huns, the better for us, they have been at a stalemate, and no one can suppress the other. Be safe, otherwise..."

Feng Jin took Wuming's words, "Otherwise the Eastern Huns will crush the Western Huns, and after the unification of the Huns, I'm afraid they will sharpen their knives and fight against the Great Zhou! Although I'm not afraid of war, it's the common people who will suffer when the flames of war come together. In Dazhou, I don’t know how many families will be ruined and their wives will be separated.”

"So, let the Western Huns get up first, let the Eastern Huns and the Western Huns restrain each other, and when the national strength of the Great Zhou is strong enough, they will be defeated in one fell swoop!"

Feng Jin sighed faintly, "You have to endure it after all! There is a word for forbearance, and there is a knife on the top of the word heart. There is more than one knife hanging on my heart. Pei Xiu's party, the king of Jiangdong, and the Xiongnu are ready to move. The Eastern Wa Kingdom, the countries of the Western Regions."

Seeing Feng Jin's gloomy expression, Wuming held her hand with concern, "Don't worry, Ah Jin, I will always be there, and I will help Ah Jin destroy those knives one by one until Ah Jin's world is prosperous forever. , the country is prosperous and the people are safe, the world is coming to court, until all the people, the surrounding countries bow their heads to my Ah Jin, to Da Zhou."

Feng Jin smiled at him, and a moment later, called a secret guard in: "Send two good people to watch Prince Saya!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The reception of Prince Saya does not need her, the emperor, to come forward in person, Pei Xiu will ask the Minister of Rites to do it well.

That night, Prince Saye lived in the Huixin Building, which was specially designed to receive foreign envoys.

And the hidden guard also returned to the palace to report to Feng Jin an hour later.

"Your Majesty, Prince Saya brought a total of two envoys, twenty guards and servants, six maids, and ten boxes, nine of which are ordinary boxes, which should contain jewelry, jade, animal skins, etc. There is also a very big box, which is tightly covered. It is said to be the most precious gift for His Majesty. The subordinates went to check it out, and there was movement in it, and it seemed to be a living thing." "Probably rare birds and animals. .”

Feng Jin said indifferently, and didn't bring up much interest.

Wuming glanced at the dark guard, "Besides these, who else has Prince Saya seen?"

"No, as soon as he moved into the Huixin Building, Prince Saya closed the door to thank the guests, and no one was seen."

"Then he sent someone to meet the high officials in the court, especially Prime Minister Pei."

The hidden guard shook his head, "No, Prince Saya and his party have been staying quietly in the knowing building."

"Then Prime Minister Pei or the senior officials in the court, has anyone sent someone to the Huixin Building?"

"Pei Xiang didn't, but Yushitai Liu Zhao Liu Yushi and other adults sent people to give gifts, but Prince Saya didn't accept any of them."

Wuming asked a lot of questions carefully, and the dark guard answered them one by one.

"Okay, you step back, go back and keep watching, and report back immediately if you have any questions."

"Yes, chief!"

After the hidden guard retreated, Feng Jin smiled slightly at Wuming, "I believe your words now."

"What?"

"Prince Saya is a smart man."

Feng Jin said, grabbing Wuming's hand and playing with it, making Wuming's heart beat wildly, "This is the capital of the emperor, at the foot of the emperor, he is showing me that he has no intentions, and will not collude with the officials of the court. A person who sees the situation in North Korea and China so clearly is not a smart person?"

"Western Khan has only one son. If he is not smart, the Western Huns will be swallowed up by the Eastern Huns."

Wuming said in a low voice, looking down at Feng Jin's delicate and white hands that are as snowy as jade, his heart beat wildly.

Ah Jin pinches his fingers to play, touches them from time to time without saying anything, puts them on her lips and kisses them, and sometimes licks them like candy, unaware that she is getting angry, but he can't take it anymore, Just when he was about to hug her to the dragon couch, he heard her ask softly, "Does the sect master have any news?"

Wuming's eyes flickered slightly, and he whispered, "Not yet."

"Then, is there any news about the gate of death?"

"No. The branches all over the gate of death are hidden, disappearing and disappearing, as if the world has evaporated."

"Such a big dead door, so many branches, can't find a single one?"

Feng Jin frowned, Wuming showed shame, and didn't answer.

Feng Jin sighed faintly, and said nothing more.

"Ah Jin is worried about him?"

Feng Jin shook her head, "I'm not worried about him, I'm worried that the gate of death will be used by someone. The gate of death is like a sharp sword. It's good if the sword is aimed at the opponent, but if the sharp sword falls into the opponent's hands Here, it's better..."

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Feng Jin's eyes, "Destroy this sword!"
