Chapter 33 I Want You
The fighting in King Yong's palace shocked the envoys from the six countries.
Although they got the exact news that day: the rebel Chang'an Jun had been executed on the when Wei Xiangguo personally went to the embassies of various countries the next day to comfort and quell the speculation, they learned more or less the details.
It turns out that during this period of time, Chang'an Lord Zhao Jiao had been trying to assassinate the princess of Qi and the monarch of Yong, and framed the blame on Wei Xiangguo.
Fortunately, His Majesty was clever and decisive in strategizing, pretending to deprive Wei Zhangde of his power and confine him at pretended to be unconscious after being poisoned, so Zhao Jiao was careless and decided to seize power in one fell swoop.
Your Majesty lured the snake out of its hole and uprooted Zhao Jiao's followers.
"Mr. Chang'an is so ambitious!"
"What a well-dressed man!"
The envoys who secretly found out some inside information from Wei Zhangde cursed loudly. Wei Zhangde motioned them to lower their voices and went back cautiously.
This wording, whether true or false, not only described Zhao Jiao as vicious and stupid, but also praised Zhao Zheng's wise foresight, and also eliminated everyone's doubts that Wei Zhangde was suspected by Zhao Zheng.
The most critical point is to stop the six-nation envoys from worrying about Zhao Zheng's health to avoid causing trouble.
Birds with one stone.
When Wei Zhangde returned to his mansion, he heard that Wei Nanxu had gone to Qi's proton Jiang Ben to return the favor.
He was very pleased that his daughter had finally come to her senses.
Because he was punished for treason, according to law, his body should be thrown into the wilderness to be eaten by wild dogs and crows.
However, Zhao Zheng abided by his filial piety, and in order to relieve the mood of the Queen Mother who was hit by this shock and did not want to eat, she agreed to bury Chang'an Lord Zhao Jiaolue in a thin coffin.
The Weiwei army who searched Zhao Jiao's residence was dispatched that day.
Before Su Yu left, Jiang He specifically told him that he must check carefully and understand, especially since the Chang'an Lord was good at making incense, so anything contaminated with fragrance must be brought back.
Su Yu looked up in confusion.
For a man like him, spices are nothing more than a number "valued".It was hard for him to imagine what clues could be found from the spices and what accomplices could be implicated.
However, Jiang He looked at Zhao Zheng who was resting on the dragon bed and asked, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Zhao Zheng did not speak.
The poison in his body was still unresolved. After enduring the pain and seeing Zhao Jiao for the last time, he didn't even have the energy to say a hearing Jiang He's inquiry, Zhao Zheng raised his hand and made a gesture.
Zhao Zheng's gestures were very familiar to Su Yu.
Not long ago, in the courtyard of Zhiyang Palace, when Zhao Jiao began to insult Zhao Zheng, Zhao Zheng made a gesture, and Su Yu stabbed Zhao Jiao without hesitation like a knife held in Zhao Zheng's hand.
The meaning at this time is to ask him to do things as ordered.
Su Yu responded and stepped back.
"Your Majesty, in this state, can you still treat Wei Xiangguo to a drink?"
Zhao Zheng offered to treat Wei Zhangde to a drink, but in this state, he might not even be able to walk to the banquet.
"It doesn't matter," Zhao Zheng's voice was a little weak, perhaps because he was holding back the pain, and his short sentence was divided into several parts, "When the time comes, the queen will take the wine for me, drink it, and it will be fine."
"I never drink alcohol." Jiang He shook his head.
Zhao Zheng said slowly: "Then why does the queen want to search for the spices in Lord Chang'an's house?"
"Because Your Majesty, you said, 'It's not enough', ah!"
Jiang He imitated his half-dead tone and said slyly, which made Zhao Zheng stunned and immediately smiled.
At that time, the Zhiyang Palace was on fire. Because Wei Nanxu was suspected of assassinating the monarch, Wei Zhangde proposed to exterminate the tribe according to the He congratulated Zhao Zheng for taking back the power of the prime minister, but Zhao Zheng said it was not enough.
So although the jade seal has been withdrawn and the memorial does not need to be submitted to the Queen Mother for review, the prime minister power has not returned yet.
As long as there is no power in hand, the monarch cannot truly govern.
Jiang He didn't know what other plans Zhao Zheng had, but she still spared no effort to help him.
After the joke, Jiang He said seriously: "When I first met Zhao Jiao, I thought he was smart and handsome. But when His Majesty came back after being poisoned, when he broke into Zhiyang Palace, he saw that he was restless and had a slight redness at the corners of his eyes. His bones are broken and his walking is no longer what he used to be.”
Although Chang'an Jun's nature is like this, there may be other reasons that make him desperate.
"Beautiful and beautiful?" Zhao Zheng frowned and looked at Jiang He. After thinking about it, he reluctantly said with admiration, "The queen is thoughtful and considerate."
He stretched out his hand and gently tugged on Jiang He's sleeve, "How about you just stay in the palace?"
This is the first time Zhao Zheng has seriously tried to persuade him to stay.
Jiang He didn't respond.
She got up and walked away, standing by the window and looking out.
Mid-Autumn Festival is coming.
The fragrant scent of the osmanthus trees in Zhiyang Palace covered up the smell of blood not long ago.
She stretched her body gently, pursed her lips and smiled lightly.
"Your Majesty kept your promise, what happened now?"
Zhao Zheng thought for a while, that reason was on his lips, but when he said it, it turned out to be something else.
"I want your... military strategist."
When you can't say what you really mean, you seem to be able to only say what others want to of the hurt and contempt when they met, he was unable to express his feelings at this time.
"I won't give it to you!" Jiang He turned to look at him and smiled triumphantly.
Now that Yong's spies have been caught, Zhao Zheng is about to eradicate Wei Xiangguo, and it's finally time for her to leave.
It's just that it seems that Qi and Yong still need to sit down and talk.
Because Zhao Zheng agreed to release the proton Jiang Ben, the Qi royal family would more or less make concessions on the assassination of princess Jiang Yuheng.
However, these things can only be regarded as secrets between the two countries. If the world knew that Yong Guo married a fake princess, it would be a big scandal to the world.
Zhao Zhengcai would not let himself make such a fool of himself.
What should I do? It seems that I have to find a cause of death for myself.
Jiang He turned his head, stretched out his arms and looked at himself seriously and said: "What's a good-looking way to die? Just say I was poisoned? It's a bit cold to fall into the water. Hanging yourself is too ugly. Your Majesty, look at me. How did I die?" ?”
Zhao Zheng didn't even look at her. He reluctantly turned his back to Jiang He and said coldly: "The queen most likely choked to death after eating too much."
"You just..."
The words Jiang He wanted to retort were stuck in his throat. He held it in until the end, and said with a red face: "You can die by choking! It looks better than poisoning!"
"Brother Wei, I remember you said that Xiaohe is going to help Zhao Zheng find the spy who assassinated the Princess of Qi. Once found, she can leave."
The thin gauze that blindfolded his eyes was untied layer by layer. The young man forgot to perceive the light that penetrated his eyes, but was thinking about other things.
The fine gauze was completely peeled off by Wei Zipei. She looked at Wei Ji's closed eyes seriously and forgot to answer for a moment.
His eyelashes are very long, which even a woman can't help but envy.
Wei Ji couldn't hear her answer, so he opened his eyes.
The sudden bright light made him squint his eyes and focus, waiting for Wei Zipei's answer.
Only then did Wei Zipei come to his senses and said, "At that time, my sister asked her why she married the King of Yong, and this is what she said."
Wei Ji couldn't help but stood up.
"Didn't Wei Zhangde say today that Zhao Jiao is the one who tried to assassinate the princess of Qi and the monarch of Yong many times? In this case, Xiaohe can come back. Brother, I will go pick her up now."
As he spoke, he called the maid to help him get dressed, but as soon as he took a step forward, he felt dizzy and held on to the bed rail.
"Brother is extremely smart, but he can be stupid no matter what." Wei Zipei covered his lips and said with a smile, "I see that my sister has been calmly handling it in front of the King of Yong. There is no need for my brother to snatch it. Sister Jiang is back."
Wei Ji remained silent for a long time before slowly nodding his head.
Yes, rushing into the palace at this time would easily lead to conflict with Zhao Zheng.
Since it's a deal, he should keep his word.
"I can't believe it," Wei Zipei sighed softly and helped Wei Ji, who had not fully recovered, to lie back on the bed. "On the way to Yong Kingdom, my brother said that if Jiang He got married, he would snatch her away. This incident is quite surprising. You were right, but I didn’t expect that person to be the King of Yong.”
The king of a country is Yong, which is more powerful than of which, Jiang He's husband's status was far higher than that of his brother.
Wei Ji said with a smile on his face: "What about the King of Yong? It's more important that she likes her."
It's more important that she likes it.
So no one can imprison her or force her.
Wei Ji gradually saw the bed tent, screen and Wei Zipei next to him clearly.
He was looking forward to it in his heart, what would Jiang He look like in three years?
Four days before the Jiuyi Mountain Festival, Zhao Zheng hosted a banquet for the Korean delegation in the palace, accompanied by Wei Xiangguo and his daughter.
The first was to commend and appease Wei Zhangde and his daughter, and the second was to take over the suggestions that the Korean mission failed to complete at the banquet that day.
Originally, when Zhao Zheng hosted a banquet for the envoys in his palace, Han An, the king of South Korea, had to offer a clever , it was destroyed by the rioters who attacked the palace and failed to succeed.
Before coming to the main hall, the imperial doctor removed the poison from Zhao Zheng in Zhiyang Palace.
72 silver needles pricked his meridians, giving him two hours of life that he could barely sit on his knees without falling down.
Until Jiang He sat down with Zhao Zheng, she could still see Zhao Zheng clenching his fists to endure the pain.
It's hard work.
she said in her heart.
After all this trouble, I don’t know if I can still participate in the Jiuyi Mountain Festival.
The banquet began with music being played. Before Han An, the Korean monarch, could speak, the servants' singing and cheering suddenly came from outside the palace.
"Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother has arrived, and the Prince of Qi has arrived -"
Young Master of Qi State, Jiang Ben? Jiang He suddenly turned his head to look at Zhao Zheng, and Zhao Zheng's face turned pale.
Li Wenzhou, who was behind for unknown reasons, stepped forward and leaned forward to report: "Today, the proton of Qi State accompanied the envoy of Qi State into the palace to visit the Queen Mother and send her Mid-Autumn Festival gifts from the State of Qi State. Xu was brought to the interview after he mentioned to the Queen Mother that he missed his sister. queen."
Jiang Ben's sister is naturally Jiang Yuheng, Princess of Qi, and is naturally Dayong's current queen.
Jiang He frowned and looked up.
She looked past the layers of figures and saw Wei Nanxu in the distance, lowering his head to drink tea, with an unconcealable smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
