Chapter 473

After leaving the Xiangfu, Tang Yin returned to his own residence. He had just walked a short distance when Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe and others smiled at each other and said, "Congratulations, sir!" Tang Yin was stunned and asked blankly, "Congratulations to me for what?" "Congratulations to you on your engagement with Miss Wu Mei." Qiu Zhen and others laughed.

Tang Yin blinked and asked, "Don't you think that this is something that the old fox Wu Yu has planned?" Qiu Zhen shrugged, looking indifferent, and asked, "Doesn't your lord like Miss Wu Mei?" "Of course not." "Since your lord likes her and has successfully made an engagement with Miss Wu Mei, you don't have to worry about who planned it. Besides, your lord's marriage to the Wu family is also very beneficial to your lord." Qiu Zhen said, "Your lord wants to seek the throne, and now you still need the support of Wu Yu." "Yes!" Tang Yin nodded, thinking that Qiu Zhen made sense.

He did not get on the horse, but held the reins and walked and talked with Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe and Zong Yuan. Qiu Zhen frowned and said, "The only trouble is Miss Fan Min. Although Miss Fan Min is not in the capital now, she will know about this sooner or later. You have to think of a good way to deal with it!" Tang Yin felt a headache when he mentioned this. Although Fan Min and Wu Mei have known each other for a long time, they have different personalities and are not compatible. They quarrel when they meet. If Fan Min knows that she and Wu Mei have made an engagement, I don't know what will happen! In addition, Tang Yin is not a person of this era after all. He does not have a deep concept of having three wives and four concubines. From the bottom of his heart, he feels deeply guilty about Fan Min and does not know how to face her in the future. Alas! Tang Yin sighed in his heart and pondered without saying anything. As for Tang Yin's personal affairs, Qiu Zhen should not interfere too much, and this is indeed a troublesome matter. If outsiders interfere, it will become more and more chaotic. This can only be solved by Tang Yin himself.

At this time, Zong Yuan asked again: "I wonder... who does the Lord want to make his wife?" Hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Tang Yin. Who to make his wife seems to be Tang Yin's private matter, but in fact it is not. After all, he wants to fight for the throne, and he is currently the most likely person to become the King of Feng. His wife may very well be the Queen of Feng in the future, so it is of great importance.

"This..." Tang Yin hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "At present, I haven't thought about it." Seeing that Zong Yuan still wanted to continue the conversation, Tang Yin waved his hand and said, "It's too early to talk about this now!" Zong Yuan was so smart and good at observing people's words and expressions. When he heard this, he immediately swallowed the question on his lips and nodded in response, "Your Excellency is very right." Tang Yin squinted his eyes, changed the subject and asked, "Tell me, how far am I from the throne in the palace now? What does it take to sit on it smoothly?" Everyone was cheered up. In their impression, it seemed that this was the first time that Tang Yin took the initiative to talk about the fight for the throne. From this, it can be seen that he has changed from being passive to active towards King Feng, which of course greatly encouraged the morale of Tang Yin's trusted advisers. Zong Yuan looked around, smiled leisurely, and whispered: "Your Excellency is only one step away from the throne." "Oh?" Tang Yin was stunned and asked curiously: "Which step?" "The imperial edict of the emperor in Shangjing." Zong Yuan said solemnly: "As long as Shangjing nods to recognize your Excellency as the King of Feng, then your Excellency will definitely be able to sit on the throne." This is equivalent to nonsense. Tang Yin rolled his eyes. If even the emperor issued an edict to confer the title of King of Feng, then who in Feng Country would dare to object? The key question is how to get the emperor to issue this edict. He frowned and said faintly: "Jiang Lu's progress in Shangjing is very slow. I don't know how long it will take for him to get through the relationship." Zong Yuan rolled his eyes and changed the subject, asking: "I heard that... when Princess Yin Rou visited my Feng Country, she was escorted by your Excellency in person, and she had a very good relationship with Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Tang Yin didn't know where he got these things from. Although it was a bit exaggerated, it couldn't be said to be wrong. His relationship with Yin Rou was not close, but it was not bad either. However, his feelings for Yin Rou were extraordinary. Yin Rou was simply the incarnation of crystal, which made Tang Yin deeply trapped and unable to extricate himself. He loved and hated her.

He did not admit or deny, but just said: "Go on!" Zong Yuan said: "The emperor and the princess are brothers and sisters from the same mother. His Majesty usually dotes on this sister and listens to her. As long as... the princess can say a few good words for the adults in front of His Majesty, then His Majesty's edict of conferring the title will be just around the corner." Let Yin Rou speak well of the emperor for him? Tang Yin smiled bitterly in his heart and did not have much hope for this. He had complicated feelings for Yin Rou, but what about Yin Rou? When he escorted her, he was just an ordinary corps commander. So much time has passed. With Yin Rou's noble status, it is a question whether she can still remember a small person like him!

Seeing Tang Yin frowning and saying nothing, Zong Yuan saw his concerns, pondered for a moment, and said, "Sir, I think it is necessary for you to go to Beijing in person!" "Oh?" Tang Yin's eyes lit up, but he didn't wait for him. As he spoke, Qiu Zhen on the other side shook his head like a rattle and said, "I am thousands of miles away from Beijing. It will take at least a month to go to Beijing. How long will the delay be? Furthermore, now that the country has no king and the government has no leader, I don’t know how many people are spying on the throne of the Wind King. Once the master leaves for a long time, people with evil intentions will seize the opportunity. What if trouble occurs? " Zhang Zhe also agreed? When Qiu Zhen explained, he nodded repeatedly and said, "If your Excellency and Her Royal Highness the Princess are really close to each other, all it takes is a letter to be sent to Shangjing, and there is no need to go there in person." Zong Yuan looked at Qiu Zhen, then looked again Zhang Zhe shook his head and said: "Now the military power is firmly in our hands. Even if someone wants to seek the throne, they still need our approval. As for sending letters to Shangjing, even if the letters are not missed on the way, they can really be delivered to the hands of Her Royal Highness the Princess." , is that too disrespectful to Her Royal Highness? The power of the imperial court has become weaker and weaker, and the princes and princes from all over the country no longer obey the imperial court's orders. What is the most important thing for the royal family now? If you can personally! Go to Beijing and see Her Royal Highness. I think that even if your relationship with Her Highness is average, you can still win Her Highness's heart. As long as Her Royal Highness nods and agrees to this matter, Your Majesty will have nothing to worry about. "Oh! Tang Yin nodded secretly, feeling that Zong Yuan's words were not unreasonable! When Feng Ning and Feng Ning were at war, the princess personally intervened to mediate but failed to resolve the battlefield. This shows how much the vassal states despise the imperial court. If she goes there in person, the possibility of success will indeed be greatly increased.

Of course, from Tang Yin's heart, he also wanted to go to Beijing in person to win the emperor's conferment. More importantly, he also wanted to see Yin Rou again, the woman who made him think about her.

Seeing that Tang Yin had been moved by Zong Yuan's words, Qiu Zhen and Zhang Zhe were very anxious and said repeatedly: "My lords are going to Shangjing, lest there be changes in the capital. On the one hand, they also have to travel through Mo and An. What if there is danger along the way?" ?" At this point, Qiu Zhen looked at Zong Yuan with lightning eyes and said coldly: "Zong Yuan, what are your intentions in encouraging Sir to go to Beijing?" When it came to the issue of loyalty, Zong Yuan's heart trembled. , even if Qiu Zhen was Tang Yin's most caring confidant, he would not give in at this time. He said sternly: "Master Qiu, I have no second thoughts about you. God can tell you. The ideas I come up with are all for the sake of you and your great cause!" "Humph!" Qiu Zhen snorted coldly and said. : "If you really care about my lord, you should not repeatedly persuade me to go to the capital in person." "It may be risky for your lord to go to the capital, but if you don't go to the capital, it will be difficult for the emperor's edict to confer the title to be passed on." Come down, even if you become the king, your reputation will not be correct and your words will not be correct. Not only will our Feng country's status be lower than that of other countries, but it will also be ridiculed by the people of the world!" Qiu Zhen naturally continued to understand the importance of the emperor's edict on granting titles. It was clear, and he was the first to bring it up, but even so, he still felt that it was too risky for Tang Yin to go to Beijing, and there were too many variables involved. He shook his head and said: "Even if you want to be a king with a false name and a bad word, you must not leave the capital at this time." "If you want to achieve great things, how can you not take risks?" "Then it depends on the risks involved. How big is it and is it worth it?" Qiu Zhen and Zong Yuan couldn't argue with each other. Tang Yin was caught in the middle and was quarreling with each other. He suddenly raised his arms, increased his voice, and shouted: "Stop arguing, I have made up my mind!" His sudden words immediately attracted the attention of the generals behind him. Although Shangguan Yuanrang and other generals were traveling with Tang Yin, they followed at a distance and did not dare to disturb the discussions between Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe, and Zongyuan. Therefore, the conversation between Shangguan Yuan and Shangguan Yuan was Rang and others didn't hear clearly either.

Now when they heard Tang Yin shouting loudly, everyone didn't understand what was going on and looked at each other. Finally, their eyes were focused on Tang Yin.

Qiu Zhen and Zong Yuan were also startled, stopped hurriedly, and saluted Tang Yin.

Tang Yin raised his lips and glanced at Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe and Zong Yuan. After being silent for more than half a minute, he said, "This matter... let's just follow Zong Yuan's opinion!" , before the three of them could react, Tang Yin pulled the reins, got on his horse, and shouted to the people behind him: "Go back home!" Shangguan Yuanrang and others were all confused by Zhang Er Monk, who didn't know that Tang Yin's words "just follow Zong Yuan" What does "their opinion" mean? But looking at the ugly faces of Qiu Zhen and Zhang Zhe, I guess what they are discussing must not be a trivial matter.
