Chapter 275

Hearing Li Kexin say this, people in warm pavilion have roughly guessed the route he took when he came. He should have entered Wanli Shahai from Nanli kingdom to the north, and then entered Daqian through Mingquan pass. As for his encounter with sand robbers in Shahai, they are not interested in knowing. They just feel that the Prince of Nanli is too unlucky.

And Li Kexin how to pass Mingquan pass, a few people did not ask. Although there is a Shanyin Legion stationed in mingquanguan, there is an endless stream of caravans from the thirty-six states of Shahai to and from Daqian every day. As long as the caravans have the business documents issued by Daqian's household department, and the scale of the caravans does not exceed the number limit in the documents, the garrison of mingquanguan will not check and interrogate them one by one. Li Kexin must have been involved in a certain caravan, This is the only way to enter the territory of Daqian.

Besides, although it's not a big deal, Ning Darong, commander-in-chief of Shanyin army, will at least bear the responsibility of lax detention if he is seriously investigated. As for the disposal of the second grade military commander, it can only be ruled by Emperor Yu Yuanxu's holy heart. A few people have no right to manage it. Naturally, they won't ask too much about it in detail, thus offending a town side military commander with real power.

As for Li Kexin's statement that he had Nanli's national documents on his body and wanted to present them to the emperor personally, they could not help looking at each other, because it was not in line with the rules of the Daqian Dynasty. In the past, when some envoys came to Daqian, the national documents should be submitted to the Ministry of rites, and then to the foreign minister. After the cabinet read them, if there were important contents in the national documents, they would be submitted to the Ziji hall, Leave it to the emperor. Otherwise, the emperor would not be too busy to deal with trivial matters everyday.

Just looking at Li Kexin's serious expression, several people guessed that there must be something very important in the book of nations. But now the emperor Luan Jia has gone to the Xishan hunting ground, and it will take at least five days to return. For such a major event that may have a bearing on the general plan of Southern Xinjiang, or even the fate of a country, if you know the content a quarter of an hour earlier, you can make arrangements to deal with it a quarter of an hour earlier, But I can't afford to delay it.

Thinking of this, Lu que said, "Prince Kexin, since you want to personally submit your country to your Majesty in writing, we naturally have to. Although this does not conform to the regulations of Da Qian, your identity also has such qualifications. But you should have known that your majesty and all the officials of the court hall have gone hunting in the west mountain. It will take at least five days to wait for the royal family to return to Luan. I can arrange you to wait in the post house for a while, but I don't know if the prince can afford to wait for these five days? "

Although Li Kexin's face is calm, and he is neither humble nor arrogant in the face of several important officials, Lu que still sees a touch of anxiety from the bottom of his eyes. When he says that he needs to make Li Kexin wait for five days, Lu que can clearly feel that Li Kexin's blood flow has accelerated a little bit. Obviously, he doesn't want to wait for these five days, In other words, what happened in Nanli made him unable to wait for these five days.

Although Lu que didn't know the contents of the national documents, and he didn't know why Nanli king sent his country's crown prince to make a secret mission to Daqian, he could roughly guess that something terrible had happened in Nanli kingdom. He was connected with the fact that Ke Yu, commander of Lei Ying battle, committed suicide a few months ago and Lei Ying army had no choice but to surrender, Lu que speculates that the contradiction between Nanli royal family and the major clans in the state, which was originally forced down, finally broke out completely because of the death of Ke Yu. And Li Kexin's appearance shows that Nanli royal family should have suffered a lot, and even could not maintain the rule of Nanli royal family.

Sure enough, when Li Kexin heard that Lu que asked him to wait at the foreign envoy's post house, he shook his head and said, "I've been on the road for a long time. Now I have to see emperor Daqian right away."

Speaking of this, Li Kexin looked at Lu Que's smiling face, sighed and said, "I've heard a lot about the name of Lu Shuai since I entered Daqian. With Lu Shuai's intelligence, I must have guessed that if it wasn't for the great event in Nanli state, Nanli would never have sent envoys to Daqian at this time. Even if I sent envoys, I wouldn't be Nanli's crown prince, I must see emperor Daqian immediately, and ask Marshal Lu to send me to Xishan hunting ground. "

Lu que was shocked when he heard that Nanli prince was so frank that he told Nanli what happened. However, it also showed that the situation in Nanli was very serious, which made Nanli prince give up his superficial diplomatic words and meaningless words of mediation.

"Sweet prince." This is what Zhuge Yan said: "now is our autumn hunting ceremony. If there is no major event during the ceremony, even we have no right to disturb your majesty, let alone take the prince to the Xishan hunting ground to meet your majesty. If the prince is not in a hurry, he will go back to the post office and wait. After his majesty returns to Beijing, he will surely call you in the first time. "

"No, I must see the emperor at once." Li Kexin shook his head and repeated what he had just said.

Although Li Kexin's face did not show much anxiety, people in the warm Pavilion still felt his inner urgency from his words.

"The prince is hard on us." Zhuge Yan's mouth showed a slight smile, pretended to frown and said, "now Daqian and Nanli are at war, in other words, the enemy country. As an envoy of the enemy country, even if you are noble, we have no right to let you go to see your majesty."

Jing Wengong and Zhuge Wei nodded when they heard the speech. The scale of the autumn hunting ceremony this year and the three battalion of the Changqing army stationed in Xishan before made them smell an unusual breath. They felt that the rain was coming and the wind was blowing all over the building. Now that the emperor is in the west mountain, everything must be based on the safety of the emperor. If Li Kexin is brought to the west mountain at this time, it may destroy the emperor's arrangement, but they can't afford the responsibility.

As for Zhuge Yan's saying that they have no right to bring people to the emperor, it's just a pretext. Among the four people in the palace, except that they are all important ministers in the court, even Zhuge Yan, who has only the duty of serving the Prince now, is also a little Duke of the auxiliary state government. Later, he will inherit the title of Zhuge family of the auxiliary state, and let them take Li Kexin to the west mountain to meet the emperor, Although there was something wrong with the rules of the instrument system, it was not impossible. The emperor would not blame several people for such a trifle.

Seeing that Lu que, Jing Wengong and Zhuge Wei all nodded slightly, Zhuge Yan could not help but feel more confident. Seeing that Li Kexin's face changed slightly, he continued to say, "now Lu Shuai is sitting in the outer Pavilion and controlling the six armies in southern Xinjiang. The wars of Tianxing and Nanli are all under Lu Shuai's control. If you really have something to do, you can directly tell Lu Shuai that you don't have to meet your majesty."

When Li Kexin heard Zhuge Yan say this, his eyes kept looking at Lu que, who was sitting in the first place. The first time he heard the name of Lu que was three years ago when the famous commander Lu Chun and princess daqianchang returned to China. However, he was far from the crown prince in the South. He paid more attention to Lu Chun and Yu Chuqing, but he didn't pay much attention to Lu que, who was their son, Even later, Lu que won the third place of Ding in the Chongyang examination.

However, a year ago, Lu que emerged in the two wars of Danshui and hexingyuan. The mad lion army of Tianxing was destroyed by Lu que. As an ally of Tianxing, Nanli naturally began to pay attention to this 16-year-old boy. After the war between the two countries started this year, through Nanli's spy buried under Daqian, Li Kexin already vaguely knows that there is a shadow of landing behind the battle in southern Xinjiang. However, he did not expect that Daqian had a famous commander like Lu Chun who suppressed an era. The person who really controlled the whole situation behind him was Lu que who was under 17 years old.

At this time, Li Ke could not help but think of the two big legions of the great army's fierce tigers and fierce winds. They attacked the two counties in the south of Hebei and broke through the three hills camp outside Ning'an County overnight. Then they mobilized a huge amount of burning oil to burn the city, forcing the Lei Ying army to surrender. These may all come from the hands of the young men in front of them.

Thinking of this, Li Kexin can't help looking at Lu que with a complicated face. He not only admires Lu Que's military strategy and talent at such an age, but also resents that Lu Que's layout has forced the death of Ke Yu, the prime minister who is very important to the Nanli royal family, which makes the situation of today's Nanli royal family fall.

However, Li Kexin thought that Daqian and Nanli were at odds. Fifteen years ago, Nanli and Tianxing attacked Daqian while Princess Yu Chuqing and famous commander Lu Chun disappeared. The two countries were completely antagonistic from then on. Since Lu que was a minister of Daqian, no matter what method he used to treat Fu Nanli, he was not satisfied with Lu que, After all, Lu que, the enemy's enemy and our hero, is a great enemy to Nanli, but to Daqian, he is a hero of the country.

"Well, since Marshal Lu is able to make a decision on everything in the south of Daqian, I'll tell you the same." Thinking of this, Li Kexin sighed a little, weighed in his heart for a while, nodded slowly, and told the reason why he was secretly sent to Daqian.

It turns out that for more than a hundred years, Nanli's monarchy has been lost, and several successive kings have been idle in politics and indulged in pleasure. The political situation of the country is almost in the hands of several clans. After nearly a hundred years of development and growth, Nanli has been in a situation of weak monarchy and strong ministers. If this situation continues, it may not be long, After these clans developed to a certain extent, they would abolish and even change the day. At this time, Li Kexin's father ascended the throne of Tianxing.

After the current king Tianxing succeeded to the throne, he was supported by the military headed by Ke Yu. It took him five years to consolidate the royal power in the world, and then to reform the political system according to the laws and decrees of the great Qian Dynasty. Although the ten-year reform has made Nanli's national strength continuously improve, the contradiction between the royal family and the major clans has become almost irreconcilable. The large and small clans, who have been used to using the public tools of the country to do their own silk affairs, can not accept the loss of their own interests, even the royal family. However, the king of heavenly stars firmly held the military power in his hands, and the major clans could only be silent and forbearance, and did not dare to make mistakes.

If it goes on like this, it may only take another 20 or 30 years for the Nanli royal family to consolidate the royal power through political reform, weaken the power of the major clans, and strive to develop the military, government and people's livelihood. So that Nanli could compete with Daqian in national strength. But at this time, Daqian launched the battle of Southern Xinjiang, and the soldiers took the lead in aiming at Nanli kingdom. In less than a month, the two armies of Huxiao and Fengfeng swept across the north of Ning'an, and the leiying legion, which would shrink its forces together, surrounded the county city of Ning'an.

The death of Ke Yu not only made Nanli lose the two counties of Hebei as the strategic fulcrum, but also made the huge pillar supporting Nanli royal family collapse. At the beginning, it was a good thing that the troops of the tiger roaring army and the gale army of Daqian were stationed on the North Bank of the Ning'an River, which made the South far away from the country. After all, neither the royal family nor the major clans wanted the troops of Daqian to cross the Ning'an river. In addition, the star king, who has been on the throne for 15 years, has accumulated prestige for more than 10 years, and can suppress the various forces that are ready to move in China.

However, with Da Qian's troops going to Tianxing, especially the Fengxiang army going south, the domestic situation in Nanli has become very strange, because the world knows that as long as Da Qian sends out Fengxiang army, it means that he will win the battle no matter what the price he pays. That is to say, Da Qian will never use troops against Nanli before the death of Tianxing. This also made Nanli hall divided into two groups.

From the perspective of private affairs, Ke Yu is the young best friend of Tianxing king. For more than ten years, the monarch and his ministers have maintained the situation of Nanli together. It can be said that the monarch and his ministers have gained from each other. From the perspective of public opinion, Ke Yu is an important Minister of Nanli. He committed suicide and died for his country. Coupled with the loss of Hebei two counties, it can be said that it is an endless national feud. If this feud is not avenged, Tianxing king can not explain it to the whole nation.

For a big family like them, whether Nanli exists or not is not very important. As long as Nanli surrenders to Daqian, their family can continue. Daqian even confers some titles on them in recognition of their achievements. From then on, their wealth and glory will continue, It's just another Lord.

The two factions fought endlessly in the court, even with the prestige of the star king, they could no longer guarantee the balance of the court. And after learning that the Fengxiang army of Daqian has swept the seven counties of Tianxing Guangji in Henan Province, people with clear eyes can see that Tianxing has gone, and it is only a matter of time before Daqian can eliminate and annex it. From then on, people of the clan no longer had any scruples. In the name of daqianying secret guard, they constantly sent killers to assassinate Li Kexin, the crown prince, just to cut off the inheritance of Nanli king. So that they can use Nanli land as a gift in exchange for their family's prosperity.

Under the arrangement of Nanli king, Crown Prince Li Kexin pretended to die and hid in a royal village outside Nanli capital. But after pretending to die, the big and small families led by several clans began to secretly gather private forces to launch a coup in the name of political reform and harming the people. After defeating Jinwei, Tianxing king was put under house arrest in the capital.

Lu Que and Zhuge Yan looked at each other when Li Kexin said this. They could see each other's deep frown. Because they thought of a question at the same time, if Li Kexin's words were true, why did the secret agents of the Department of military intelligence, the Department of foreign affairs, and the Royal Sanwei not return any information about the assassination of the crown prince Nanli and the coup in Nanli. And they also found a problem, although there is still a steady stream of information from Nanli during this period of time, they did not receive the most important news about the capital of Nanli for a period of time. It's just that they have been paying close attention to the situation of Tianxing war all this time, and they are really slack about the situation of Nanli.

Li Kexin seemed to know what they were thinking. Without waiting for them to ask, he said directly, "although Nanli clan is not as powerful as it was 20 years ago, it is still extremely powerful. They sent private soldiers to blockade the Royal City, and sent recruiting experts to stare at the sky of the Royal capital day and night. Even if our royal family wants to send messages to the outside world, it is extremely difficult, What's more, it's your spy. "

Lu Que and Zhuge Yan looked at each other, and their brows were slightly relaxed, because although Li Kexin's explanation could not be fully believed, it was very reasonable, but he still had to ask the Department of military intelligence, the Department of foreign affairs and the Royal Sanwei for confirmation afterwards. However, from Li Kexin's angry expression and the tone of his speech before, Lu que is eight percent sure that what he said is true. The nameless seal he practiced is very mysterious. He can tell whether a person is lying or not.

"Since the prince has pretended to be dead and buried, and the capital of Nanli king has been blocked by traitors, how did the prince get the seal of the king and how did he leave Tianxing?" Lu que asked.

When Li Kexin heard that Lu que called those clans traitors, he was very fond of Lu que. Lu que was an important Minister of Da Qian. He should have dealt with Nanli by any means, but those clans were Nanli people, and they were ministers of Li's royal family. Without the appointment and reuse of their Li's ancestors, these clans would not have enjoyed their present glory, However, these people did not want to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country when they were in danger. Instead, they launched a coup to imprison their father. In Li Ke's mind, these people were all disorderly subjects and thieves. He wanted to cut these perfidious people one by one.

Li Kexin took a deep breath, relaxed his mood for a while, and replied, "we Li family have ruled in the south for nearly a thousand years, so it's impossible not to reserve a retreat. There's a secret road under the Wangzhuang village that can lead directly to the Wangdu. It's from there that I exchange information with my father. As for how I left the South ~"

At this point, Li Kexin showed a wry smile and continued, "there has never been a war between Nanli and the Shahai countries. The eyes of all the major clans are attracted to the Wangdu and Ningan river. Naturally, they don't pay much attention to the direction of the Shahai river. Under the protection of the royal guards, I disguised myself as a merchant, mixed in the Shahai caravan, and left Nanli, but we were not lucky, Soon after entering the sand sea, I met a sandstorm and then a bandit. If the guards didn't fight against it, and the place where the incident happened was not far from Xiliu City, I might have been buried in the sand sea. "
