Chapter 322

In the palace.

The palace gate has been locked for a long time, but the prince has never returned to the palace. Even the commander Wu who escorts the prince has not returned. No one has come back to report what happened, which makes the whole palace shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.

All the ministers had been summoned into the palace by Emperor Yuqian. He sat on a dragon chair with a gloomy face and a cold light in his eyes, but his brow looked calmly at the ministers who were whispering. He did not take the lead in revealing his inner thoughts because of the ministers' comments.

The ministers carefully looked at the emperor's expression, and found that the face of emperor Yuqian was calm, not showing the mountains and not dew, which was unpredictable.

Then we can see that the important officials such as Duanwang Quling aoyunxuan, standing on the main hall, are all calm and silent. There is no mind or emotion that can be speculated about in their looks. They are really in a hurry. I saw them standing in the same place, but they were anxious in body and mind. They were anxious to find out what happened and why their son and daughter had not returned to the government until now.

"The king of Chu is here." A shout came from the outside of the hall. Chu Feiyang's tall figure came into the eyes of all the people.

The voices of all the ministers were much smaller. They stared at Chu Feiyang who came in one after another. What they had in their eyes was a look of hope, waiting for the wise and calm king of Chu to solve their doubts.

"Weichen kowtows to the emperor. Long live the emperor." Chu Feiyang walked all the way from the gate to the front of the hall. His eyes covered all the ministers standing in the hall at that time. He was keen to find that there were many ministers missing in the hall today. It seems that Haiquan really planned to start.

"Get up." Seeing Chu Feiyang, Emperor Yuqian finally let go of his voice, but his voice was very cold, which seemed to contain great anger.

"King Chu, the prince didn't go back to the palace. Except for the disappearance of commander Wu, the guards who escorted the prince to the Haiwang mansion were killed outside the Haiwang mansion. What do you think about this?" Emperor Yuqian pinched the news that was just reported by dark Wei. There was pent up anger in his calm questions. If he had not waited for Chu Feiyang to come, he would have been furious.

All the ministers heard this news from the mouth of emperor Yuqian. Their hearts suddenly cooled down. No wonder the children in their own house haven't returned to the house until now. Can't they be killed by the sea king?

Thinking of this, the faces of all the ministers suddenly changed, and the Hall fell into a dead silence

Chu Feiyang looked at all the faces of the people in his eyes, knowing that the stability of the court was the most important thing at this time, so he said calmly after a moment's meditation, "emperor, the heart of the sea king is clear. The prince and the young ladies of the great families are being detained by the king of the sea at this time. Besides the forbidden guards, the servants of the palace were also killed. The king of the sea left the lives of his guests and princes in order to coerce the princes. However, when the prince is in his hands, we are extremely passive. "

When they heard that Chu Feiyang said that his child was still alive, the expression on his face finally relaxed a little bit. But after hearing all Chu Feiyang's words, everyone's face became more ugly.

Even the prince of Haiquan dare to take it under his control. How can he see other people's life and death in his eyes? If they don't surrender to the sea king, they are afraid of those children

When the ministers were in trouble, Emperor Yuqian also saw their expressions in his heart. It's hard for Haiquan to force himself in such a way, not only to catch the prince and make himself hard to walk, but also to catch the legitimate son and daughter of the Minister of the court. It's really hard for him to let them lean towards him.

When Wang Duan saw that there was a silence in the court, no one said anything, and he thought about it carefully. Then he asked Chu Feiyang, "King Chu, I don't know why the king of the sea detained everyone in the palace of the king of the sea."

"My king only knows that lin'er, the son of Prince Hai's mansion, is gone at the birthday party. The king is angry with others, so he orders to detain everyone." Chu Feiyang's eyes turn to Duanwang, who can keep calm at this time, and slowly opens his mouth.

Then he saw Chu Feiyang and looked down for a moment, then looked up to the Jade Emperor, and said aloud, "the emperor, Weichen thought it was strange. The son of the prince of the sea, who was not only surrounded by Mammy's maid, but also protected by bodyguards, would it be so easy? What's more, in the palace of the king of the sea, will all the guests indulge in the territory of the king of the sea? I'm afraid the death of Hai Rui is an excuse! "

Emperor Yuqian's right hand, holding the note, thumped the table top lightly. His face was full of anger. The hatred and murderous spirit of his eyes could not be covered. His whole body was so angry that all the officials were shocked immediately. No one dared to express his opinions at this time.

"Then you say, how should this matter be solved?" Looking at Chu Feiyang standing calmly in the main hall, Emperor Yuqian repressed his anger, but also opened his mouth with cold air.

Can Chu Feiyang not understand the mind of white jade emperor Qian? If you put forward a war with the king of the sea, you will be opposed by all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, who are civil and military, and you will become the public enemy of everyone.

If we propose to make peace with the king of the sea, it is even more impractical. Now that the king of the sea has prepared all these things, he is not able to send them just by talking and talking. The sea is not all Nanxun. The sea is good at fighting. It is one of the few wise generals in Western Chu. With all these years of hard work, will he give up the victory he is about to win?

Emperor Yuqian's calculation is so delicate that he not only wants to get rid of the sea, but also wants to get rid of himself in this battle that has not yet begun.Chu Feiyang's eyes were half closed, but he insisted on his position and said firmly, "emperor, since things have developed to the present situation, it is impossible to talk with nature. The only way is to fight. "

"No way." If it is true, Chu Feiyang's voice has not yet dissipated in the air, and the minister has jumped out to vote against it.

"The emperor, it's absolutely necessary. The prince is in the hands of the sea king at this time. If we send out our troops rashly, we are afraid that the prince will be in danger." These ministers were also smart and tight. They didn't say that their children were in the hands of the whole sea, but they took Jiang Haotian out as a shield. It not only embodies their thoughts for saving the king, but also can save their children's lives.

"Yes, king of Chu, can you not ignore the prince's safety and threaten to send troops? In case the prince is hurt, can you afford the responsibility? " All the people turned their spears to Chu Feiyang and attacked Chu Feiyang.

"Weichen knows that Princess Chu is pregnant, so she didn't go to the Palace this time. The king of Chu could not ignore other people's life and death because he had nothing to do with himself. What's more, the prince is the prince of Xichu and the foundation of the country. How can he rush to send troops? Does the Lord want the West Chu to have no successor? " There is also a minister who has no choice but to put all the blame on Chu Feiyang. He sees that all the people are angry, and they hate to put Chu Feiyang to death.

Chu Feiyang was not moved at all. He glanced at all the emotional ministers in the hall with cold eyes. Chu Feiyang looked awe inspiring and said coldly, "the emperor only asked the opinions of the ministers. Can't the King say what he thought? What's more, Haiquan suddenly has this action today. Do you think he will agree to the peace talks? If he agrees, why should he plan all this carefully? The emperor, the words of Weichen are true, and they are also the words of Weichen's heart. But the decision is still in the hands of the emperor. If the emperor doesn't think it necessary to encircle the sea king, the army in the hands of Weichen will never act rashly. "

As soon as Chu Feiyang said this, the hall immediately recovered its silence.

It seemed to all that they remembered that the king of Chu had hundreds of thousands of Western Chu troops in his hands, and they had lost their heads and fought against him here.

Chu Feiyang was also extremely alert, so he left the difficult problem to Emperor Yuqian.

Just now, the noisy minister realized that even though Chu Feiyang proposed the idea of war, all the decision-making power was still in the hands of emperor Yuqian. If emperor Yuqian should meet the requirements of the war, they can't say more. After all, compared with the loss of their legitimate sons and daughters, Emperor Yuqian may lose the prince, and there is no comparability between them.

Thinking about this, all the ministers stood on the hall, dare not make any more random suggestions. Before the emperor made a decision, everything they said could bring death to himself. What's more, at this time, the prince was detained in the palace of the king of the sea. Even if he was killed, Jiang Haotian was the first one to bear the brunt. Why did they play the clown tiaoliang here to let the king of Chu see the joke?

"Duan Wang, what do you think of it?" Emperor Yuqian was very angry. His ministers were really a group of turtles. When Chu Feiyang mentioned the army, he scared them like this. It was really a group of useless. The imperial court fed a group of moths for nothing.

After sweeping his eyes, all the officials standing under his eyes, Emperor Yuqian chose Duanwang to ask questions. Among the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, today only Duanwang's mansion has no one to go to Haiwang's mansion, and Duanwang has always been neutral. At this time, his opinions can be used for reference.

When Duanwang was named, he was slightly surprised, but soon relieved, and thought for a moment. Duanwang stood out in a row and began to hold his fist. "Back to the emperor, Haiwang can have one stroke today. At least we can be sure that Haiwang mansion is ready for war. As the king of Chu said just now, there is no possibility for Yanhe. Let's discuss whether it's war or peace here. It's better to be prepared for war and then deal with all changes without change. "

Duan Wang's words seem to be neutral, but in fact, they are already on Chu Feiyang's side.

"Emperor, I'm seconded!" The first one is Yun xuanzhi. He has a dignified brow. I think it's a deliberate decision.

"Emperor, I'm seconded!" Then Qu Lingao stood out and agreed with Duanwang.

"I am seconded!" Then, Han shaomian also stood out of the queue.

Emperor Yuqian's eyes were fixed on Duan Wang, but he saw that his face was calm and his figure standing on the main hall stood as usual. The hand that the jade Qian emperor clenched into a fist slightly loosed, the expression on the face became bleak and incomparable, but immediately issued a decree, "the king of Chu listens to the decree!"

"The minister is here." Chu Feiyang kneels on one knee, waiting for the edict of the Jade Emperor.

"The quasi king of Chu led 50000 troops to encircle and suppress the palace of the king of the sea."

Wen Yan, Qu Ling Ao's eyebrows wrinkled without trace, fifty thousand people? Yangmingshan covers a very wide area. What can 50000 people do? Even the tens of thousands of people in the hands of haichenxi on the outskirts of the capital could not deal with it. Did Yuqian want to solve the problem or embarrass the king of Chu?

Don't say that Qu Lingao will have such an expression. Even the calm Duanwang, after hearing this edict, saw a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"The minister obeyed." But I don't want to, Chu Feiyang actually received this holy edict.

"Emperor, Weichen asked to go to Yangming Mountain with the king of Chu." Han shaomian was speaking at this time, only to see his face solemn, with the firm can not be refused.Emperor Yuqian looked at Han shaomian and swept his eyes again. After a while, he nodded, "yes."

After speaking, Chu Feiyang stood up and turned out of the hall with Han shaomian.

However, the hall was silent in the night because of the imperial edict of emperor Yuqian. The mood of all the officials fell sharply. They felt a chill running from the bottom of their feet to their hearts. The lingering uneasiness lingered in their hearts.

Duan Wang and Qu Lingao exchanged their eyes, worried about Chu Feiyang and others. Now, the king of the sea has made such a move. He must have made complete preparations. But the emperor only sent 50000 troops to the king of Chu. It was just deliberately to make Chu Feiyang difficult. Even if Chu Feiyang's brilliant plan, it's not easy for a woman to cook without rice.

The news that the king of Chu was ordered to encircle the king of the sea grew like a wild grass. It was only a fragrant time, and it had spread all over the capital city. All the people were in a panic.

This is different from last year's Xichu war in the Northern Qi Dynasty. It is a war between the state and the state. The army of Xichu will protect all its people.

But this time, it's just that several kings are fighting for the throne. One is not good. I'm afraid the whole capital will be slaughtered.

All the people shut their doors one after another, and did not dare to look at the ready-made army in the street, so as not to suffer a catastrophe.

"Lord." Han shaomian sat on his horse in armor and looked at the 50000 soldiers waiting to be sent behind him. He knew that the king of Chu was ready to deal with the sea king. Otherwise, when the imperial edict was just received, 50000 people would have gathered in the capital?

Hearing that the bodyguard reported to the king of Chu that 50000 horses had arrived at Qi, Han shaomian was surprised by the efficiency of the people under the king of Chu. What surprised him even more was that he found that Chu Feiyang was still wearing the black strong clothes when he entered the palace. Han shaomian said in bewilderment, "why don't you change your clothes and start?"

Chu Feiyang's face was heavy and his eyes were steady. He turned his horse to look at the direction behind him, but didn't immediately give an order.

Observing Chu Feiyang 's face, Han shaomian immediately closed his mouth. According to his understanding of the king of Chu, the king of Chu would never do anything uncertain. This time, the emperor only sent 50000 military horses to the king of Chu. It was obvious that he was making trouble for the king of Chu. However, no one knew what the plan was in the king's mind.

But Chu Feiyang always stared at the back of the team, his eyes were quiet and far away with the calmness that ordinary people couldn't have, and the 50000 army also stood on the long street without arrogance and impatience, no one spoke in private.

Although no one spoke, Han shaomian was once again shocked by the solemn atmosphere and the overwhelming spirit of killing. Only the army brought by the king of Chu could have such a spirit.

No more talking, Han shaomian sits on horseback and looks at the deep night with Chu Feiyang

"Dada Dada... " After an hour, there was a sound of horse's hoof in the distance.

Chu Feiyang's expression remained the same, but Han shaomian opened his eyes curiously and looked at the man who came riding at night.

"Whew." The sound of horse's hooves came from far and near. When Han shaomian saw the man, he had stopped in front of him and Chu Feiyang.

"Dong..." As soon as the horse stopped, he fell to the ground, breathing heavily in his nose. It was supposed to be more than a day's journey. Qu Changqing only ran in an hour or two. Even a thousand li horse could not bear it.

Qu Changqing's body leaped to the ground quickly from the horse's back. He immediately bowed to Chu and said, "Lord."

Several people looked at Qu Changqing together. They saw that he was very dusty, but his eyes were bright in the dark.

"Here we are." Chu Feiyang nodded slightly to Qu Changqing, and then opened his mouth to Han shaomian, "Han Shilang, I will give you all the fifty thousand people."

Wen Yan, Han shaomian's face slightly changed, and he did not understand why Chu Feiyang made such a decision. It seems that there are not many 50000 people, but there are a lot of people. What's more, it's the best and powerful generals in the hands of the king of Chu. In case of losing their strength in his hands, then

In this way of thinking, Han shaomian politely refused, "Wang Ye, these 50000 people are the Emperor..."

"Listen to me." Chu Feiyang interrupts Han shaomian with a solemn face. "Haiquan can suddenly detain all the guests, which shows that he is ready to start a war in an all-round way. Now the enemy is in the dark, and we are in the Ming Dynasty. The first thing is to protect the lives of the people in the capital. It seems that there are not many of these 50000 horses, but there are more than enough to resist the sinking of the river outside the city. The king will leave Xi Lin to assist you. Unless you have to, you must not fall into war with the people of haichenxi. Don't forget that there are Chen Wang's people in the city. This time, we need to guard against more than one person. "

After listening to Chu Feiyang's analysis, Han shaomian only felt a layer of cold sweat on his back.

Just thinking about Chen Wang's behavior before, Han shaomian frowned and said, "Wang Ye, Chen Wang has given the bird talisman to the emperor before, and now the city defense forces in the capital are all in the hands of the emperor."

"Bird talisman? Hum, it's just a useless talisman! Chen Wang has been in charge of the city defense forces for so many years, and his power has already penetrated into every corner of the city defense forces. Can a piece of dispensable bird talisman affect his prestige in the city defense forces? " In the dark night, Chu Feiyang saw a trace of cold under his eyes, and then asked Qu Changqing, "how is the imperial mausoleum? Is princess Yuande really hurt? "Seeing Chu Feiyang asking, Qu Changqing could only shake his head, and said regretfully in his tone, "just as I arrived at the imperial mausoleum, I received Xi Lin's signal, so I found an excuse to leave."

"Chen Wang didn't stop more?" Chu Feiyang pondered for a moment, then asked questions.

"No." Qu Changqing looked at Chu Feiyang. He only thought that the prince had something to say, but he couldn't figure out why the prince asked Chen Wang's response at that time. He added, "Chen Wang's mind seems to be all about the injury of Princess Yuande."

Hearing this, Chu Feiyang no longer speaks, but his thin lips are ready to be developed. Looking at the dark eyes in the distance, there is a flash of wisdom that no one can understand. He sits on the horse's back with awe inspiring posture. The 50000 army behind him is as quiet and silent as a man, but it shows the strictness of Chu Feiyang's military governance.

Han shaomian took back his sight, thought about the advice of the king of Chu, and his grip on the reins made him sweat. But for Chu Feiyang's warning, he really missed Chen Wang. Now it seems that the capital is really the most dangerous place, with the sea king staring at it in the distance and the king Chen salivating near it.

But in order to suppress the king of Chu, the emperor sent only 50000 people, which was really a little stretched.

Han shaomian's brow was wrinkled, and he was gradually rebellious against the practice of emperor Yuqian. He raised his head abruptly and assured Chu Feiyang, "I will guard the capital well."

Seeing Han shaomian figure out the curve inside, Chu Feiyang reaches out and pats him on the shoulder, "take care of yourself. I have something else to do. I'll meet you when I'm done. "

At the end of the speech, Chu Feiyang nodded to Xi Lin, only Xi Lin gave his mount to Qu Changqing immediately, and Chu Feiyang had raised his whip, and the whole person rushed out like the shadow of the night.

Qu Changqing, who had not yet rested for a moment, followed Chu Feiyang like a shadow before he could catch his breath and ran to the moonlight.

At this time, there was a pungent smell of blood outside Haiwang's mansion. The guards who died miserably were no longer dead. They left a strong smell of blood floating in the air and covered the whole Yangming Mountain.

From the gate of Haiwang's mansion to the foot of Yangming Mountain, the army is full of Haiwang. It closely monitors all the people entering and leaving Yangming Mountain in three steps and one post.

How many people can fall asleep in the brightly lit palace of the Lord of the sea today?

"See the princess!" Outside the wing room, there was a salute from the bodyguard.

"Open the door." Princess Qian Shizi's voice sounded slowly.

A sound of unlocking came, and the dim guest room was suddenly lit by lights.

The three people sitting at the table looked at the arrogant princess Qian Shizi, especially seeing that she had changed into a gorgeous group. They were surprised, but their faces were calm.

"Little Shizi just disappeared. I can't imagine that Princess Shizi is a gorgeous dress. She is really a loving mother!" Han Yu's eyes flickered, and his heart crossed an idea. He could not help but raise his mouth and taunt the approaching Princess Qian Shizi.

Hearing the taunt of Hanyu, Princess Qian made a slight step forward. There was a trace of chagrin in the bottom of her eyes, but her face was still full of proud smile. She said: "hum, you are just Hanche's younger sister. You don't have the power to shout with her. You are so arrogant when you die. Don't you think your elder brother will come to save you?"

At the end of the speech, Princess Qian Shizi's eyes turned in vain, and the eyes with a clear color of jealousy glared at the silent and calm Xia hou'an'er. There was a flash of murderous air on her face, and she immediately snapped to the maid behind her and ordered: "for you, she broke one of my confidants. You are so kind! Take Xia hou'an'er to the princess! "

"I see who dares!" A crack of porcelain resounded all over the room. Everyone felt a flash of white light in front of them. A thin figure rushed towards Princess Qian Shizi
