Chapter 698: 812: The Song Dynasty Is Attacking?
The autumn rain in Kyoto was swaying, and the originally solemn and solemn imperial city looked a bit chaotic and desolate in the wind and rain.
The maids, eunuchs, and guards in the palace were also in a panic. The third prince, who was hiding everything in Yelang, was actually kidnapped by the gangsters.
The most important thing is that this gangster did not run away, but also hijacked the third prince to the palace and ran to His Majesty's bedroom, which is really confusing.
But what they know is that at this time, they must find someone to take charge of the overall situation.
Although the queen's status is noble and she is the sister of the general, the Yelang royal family has ancestral precepts that prohibit women from participating in politics. Therefore, although the queen's status is noble, she has no power in the court.
They can only go to Sangong.
Go to the Prime Minister.
But some of them had a small thought, that is, to invite the Zong Wang to come over and take charge of the overall situation.
Once the third prince has a good relationship with His Majesty in the palace, the prince who comes to the palace may be able to steal a big peach.
Although Empress Yelang is a female family member, her political sense is not low. She vaguely felt that if the gangsters took the third prince into the palace and entered His Majesty's palace, something big would definitely happen, and maybe the situation would change.
Although she does not have military power, her brother does.
Although she was leading troops outside the capital and was not in the capital, there were still people from her brother in the capital camp.
Therefore, she would never allow this to happen, and she quickly sent people out of the palace.
Chen Mo didn't care about what happened outside the emperor's palace.
In the palace, because it was early in the morning, the eunuchs had just finished giving medicine to Xingluo, the current Emperor of Yelang, so Xingluo was lying on the bed, in a drowsy state.
The arrival of the unexpected guest did not wake him up.
Nalanyi stepped forward to check the situation.
Princess Deyi came to the dragon bed and saw the princess of Yiguo who was as flesh and bone as firewood and with a yellow face on the couch. She couldn't help but feel a little sad in her eyes. The last time she and her mother came to visit, Xingluo's condition was not so bad. But it has only been a while now, and the situation is as if half of the foot has already stepped into the coffin.
At the same time, she felt anxious in her heart. How could His Majesty be okay in this state?
If it doesn't get better.
Then does he really want to promise the third prince?
Princess Deyi looked at Chen Mo's stern profile and squeezed her hands a little tighter.
"Yiren, how are you?" Chen Mo said.
"The Broken Heart Flower, the Aphasia Grass, and the Forgotten Wall were indeed made by that beast." Nalan Nalanyi felt Xingluo's pulse, rolled his eyelids, and pierced Xingluo's skin with a silver needle, observing. After taking a look at the blood, he came to the conclusion and said immediately: "The poison has spread throughout the body."
Princess Deyi's heart skipped a beat.
Xingyin breathed a sigh of relief. On the way into the palace, he learned from Chen Mo that the masked woman in black was actually from the Poison King Valley.
This made him fear that his father's poison would be removed. Now that he heard the poison spreading throughout his body, there was probably nothing he could do.
"Can that be solved?" Chen Mo said.
"It can be solved, but it's a bit troublesome. It won't take a day." Nalan Yiren stood up and turned to look at Chen Mo. After her revenge was avenged, she no longer covered her veil and still wore the same one she had before. Wearing a half-face mask, she said: "Are you sure you want to save him?"
Chen Mo nodded slightly.
The third prince's expression changed slightly and he moved closer to the dragon bed.
Nalan Yi immediately came to the rescue. She first took out the medicine bottle from her arms, took out a pill, then cut her finger, dropped a drop of blood on the pill, and put it into Xingluo's mouth.
Then she took out three more silver needles, pricked three important blood points on Xingluo's body, and said immediately: "Fortunately, the poison did not fill his heart. It should be the person who poisoned him, and he didn't want him to die immediately. This poison is also chronic, and even if it is not resolved, he should be able to live for more than half a year. "
"It seems that you are still a little filial." Chen Mo smiled at Xing Yin, but no matter how he sounded, he sounded like a hermaphrodite.
Xingyin's face darkened.
The reason why he didn't let Tang Yichen poison Xingluo directly was because he wanted to seize power.
After all, the prince was still fine at that time. If Xingluo died, the rights would not fall into his hands.
However, after he succeeded in taking power, the reason why he kept Xingluo alive was that he was too soft-hearted. After all, he was his biological father. In addition, Xingluo could not threaten him at this time, and his mother was also begging for mercy, so he let Xingluo go. Horse, let it slowly die.
But what he didn't expect was that something like this would happen.
After waiting for half an hour, the Nalanyi people bled Xingluo again.
But the blood flowing out of Xingluo at this time was actually black.
When the bleeding blood began to turn red, Nalan Yi stopped Xingluo's bleeding and stood up again: "It's working. Let's wait until he wakes up."
Hearing this, Princess Deyi looked happy.
Xingyin was in an inexplicable panic and kept making conditions with Chen Mo: "King Wei, he is an old stubborn and will not agree to you. In this way, as long as you agree to me, Yelang will not only submit to the Song Dynasty every year To pay tribute, I will give 30% of the country’s taxes to you alone.”
"Xingyin, you..." Princess Deyi was shocked by his shamelessness. He had betrayed his country to such an extent.
"Third Prince, don't worry." Seeing this, Chen Mo shook his head.
"Forty percent." The third prince gritted his teeth and said.
Seeing that Chen Mo was still unmoved, the third prince calmed down, raised his hand and spread his fingers: "Fifty percent."
Chen Mo thought he was crazy.
Let’s not talk about whether he can do what he promised.
If it is done, it will cause chaos in the world of Yelang.
Because half of the taxes were paid, the remaining half could not sustain the operation of the entire country of Yelang, so Xingyin could only exploit the people, thus causing the people to rebel.
Even if Xingyin suppressed it by force, the current "prosperity" of Yelang would no longer exist.
At that time, half of the taxes might be less than one-tenth of the first time, or even one percent.
What Chen Mo wants is a long-lasting source, not to exhaust the fish.
The rain curtain rustled outside the window. Chen Mo did not wait too long. In less than a quarter of an hour, he heard the surprised voice of Princess Deyi:
"Your Majesty, you are awake."
Chen Mo looked up and saw Xingluo, whose face was sallow. His face regained some redness. His fingers began to tremble and he slowly opened his eyes. Because Princess Deyi was right next to him, he saw her first. Maybe he had been in a daze for too long, so he did not recognize her at the first time. After a while, he opened his mouth: "Deyi?"
This opening surprised him himself.
It was not the usual "woohoo" sound, he could speak.
Hearing this, Princess Deyi was also very happy.
Ever since Xingluo suddenly fell ill, every time she went to the palace with her mother to visit Xingluo, he could not speak.
Now that he can speak, doesn't it mean that Xingluo's illness has been cured?
Princess Deyi breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, her mother's revenge could finally be avenged. She couldn't help but look back, wanting to see Xingyin's panicked expression at this time, but suddenly saw that he was going to attack Nalan Yiren.
"Be careful." Princess Deyi reminded in a startled voice.
The next second, she was stunned for a moment, because it was Xingyin who fell to the ground.
It turned out that Xingyin, who saw Xingluo wake up, felt that he was about to die, and planned to fight to the death, because Princess Deyi was by the dragon bed, some distance away from him.
Whether it was to attack Xingluo or Princess Deyi, Chen Mo would definitely stop it in time.
So Nalan Yiren stepped down and stood beside him.
He didn't know Nalan Yiren's specific strength, but she was a woman. Although her voice sounded a little strange, it was not that strong, so he guessed that the other party's strength should not be strong, and planned to hold her hostage.
But he didn't expect that he was discovered by the other party before he touched her. He only felt that he was stabbed by something, and then his eyes went black and he fell to the ground.
The poisonous bee flew in front of Nalan Yiren, vibrating its wings, as if asking for credit.
This sudden scene naturally attracted Xing Luo's attention. When he saw Chen Mo and Nalan Yiren standing in the bedroom, he looked confused. He wanted to ask, but when he saw Xing Yin lying on the ground, he was originally confused and surprisingly angry: "Rebellious son."
As he said that, he actually climbed up. Although he soon lay down again due to physical weakness, it was enough to show how angry he was.
He knew clearly that he would fall to this point because of this rebellious son.
Not only that, this rebellious son actually told him about his affair with the queen and his accidental killing of Princess Yanyang in front of him.
He was lucky not to die of anger at that time.
"Your Majesty, calm down, calm down." Princess Deyi was also afraid that he would be angry to death.
Xingluo was a princess of a country after all. He glanced at the bedroom. Combined with Xingyin's fall to the ground, there was no minister in the bedroom. Judging from these two unfamiliar people, he guessed that something major must have happened.
He looked at Chen Mo and Nalan Yiren, a little puzzled: "Deyi, who are they?"
Princess Deyi looked back and said truthfully: "He is the King of Wei of the Song Dynasty, and the one next to him is the Saint of the Poison King Valley of Baiyue, and it was she who cured your Majesty. Your Majesty, the poison you were poisoned by was from the hands of the traitor of the Poison King Valley, and that traitor was the master of the third prince. The two of them colluded with each other"
Princess Deyi didn't know that Xingluo already knew about her illness and it was Xingyin who did it.
In order to put Xingyin to death, she made this clear.
Chen Mo walked up to him, bowed simply, and said, "Your Majesty Yelang, I am honored."
"King Wei of the Song Dynasty?"
Xing Luo frowned. During the years he was sick in bed, he didn't know what was happening outside, and Xingyin didn't tell him, but he knew the Song Dynasty, so he subconsciously said, "The Song Dynasty is attacking?"
After all, the appearance of a prince of a country in his bedroom made Xing Luo think that the Song Dynasty had sent troops to Yelang and reached Kyoto.
Chen Mo stood by the dragon bed, his expression was not arrogant, and he said calmly, "Your Majesty, don't panic. This time I came to your country just to help a friend deal with something. It's just that when I was doing things, your Majesty's third prince had some unpleasantness with me."
Xing Luo's eyelids jumped. You can enter the palace and come to him. It seems that this unpleasantness is not small.
What surprised him even more was that since he didn't lead troops to attack.
How did the other party enter the palace, and give Xing Yin to...
This unknown made him panic.
"Then why did the King of Wei enter the palace this time and let this saint girl save me? What's the important matter?" Xing Luo said calmly.
Chen Mo tilted his head to look at Princess Deyi: "Princess, you can tell His Majesty."
It was too direct for him to say it himself.
After that, he and Nalan Yiren retreated to the outer hall.
As the emperor's bedroom, there is a distinction between inside and outside.
Xing Luo glared at Xing Yin on the ground, then sighed and said: "Deyi, tell me what happened recently first."
"Yes." Princess Deyi spoke slowly. She didn't waste words, picked up the key points directly, and emphasized the crimes committed by Xing Yin, and didn't even hide what happened last night.
"Beast." Xing Luo coughed in anger.
After a while, he calmed down and said, "Who is this King Wei of the Song Dynasty?"
"This is a long story, and it can't be explained in one or two sentences. Your Majesty only needs to know that he is now the regent of the Song Dynasty. He has the final say in the entire Song Dynasty. He has more than 300,000 troops and many top-grade warriors under his command. He himself is also a top-grade warrior." Princess Deyi said.
"Hiss"
Xing Luo couldn't help but take a breath and said, "It seems that I have been ill for a long time."
His influence on the Song Dynasty still remains when Xu Guozhong was in power.
"The Song Dynasty is a great country after all. It can even train such a young top-three warrior." Xing Luo's tone was full of emotion, and then he said: "Deyi, tell me why he came to the palace."
"Yes."
Princess Deyi nodded and said: "Because of the matter of the third prince's master Tang Yichen and the Lin family, they offended the King of Wei. In order to compensate the King of Wei, the third prince promised him that Yelang would become a vassal state of the Song Dynasty, pay tribute every year, and give the minister to the King of Wei as a concubine and slave."
After hesitating for a while, Princess Deyi still said the last point.
Because she was not sure whether the other party cared about this.
But whether she cared or not, Princess Deyi also knew that she could not stay in Yelang.
She talked about what happened last night and knew about the scandal between the queen and the third prince, so she would more or less leave a grudge in Xing Luo's heart.
Besides, Xingyin is Xingluo's biological son after all, and her words that put Xingyin to death, if she stayed in Yelang, she might die unclearly one day.
Finally, even if her mother and father were gone, there was nothing worth her staying in Yelang.
Therefore, no matter whether Chen Mo wanted her or not, she would leave Yelang after avenging her mother.
"Rebellious son, cough cough." Xingluo coughed again in anger, and then said: "In other words, if I don't agree to him, he will agree to that rebellious son?"
Princess Deyi nodded.
Hearing this, Xingluo closed his eyes. His current situation was that there was nothing more sad than a dead heart.
Although Yelang was frustrated in front of the Song Dynasty a century ago, it was also a hegemon in the Western Regions. But now it has to be someone else's younger brother, which is somewhat aggrieved.
After some consideration, he opened his eyes, raised his hand, sighed and said, "Forget it, Deyi, just ask him to come over."
"Yes." Princess Deyi knew that His Majesty agreed.
