The queen has so many tricks

Chapter 89 Fan Kun ([-])

After drinking and returning to the palace, she found out about Nanzhao's envoy within a few days. She asked Tan Qing to come out of the palace to deliver the letter by going to the capital of Niechuan to inquire about the reason of the illness of the left minister Niechuanzhen.

Huijiu has always been in close contact with his mother clan, the Niechuan clan, and everyone in the palace knows about it, so no one paid much attention to it.Tan Qing quietly sent a letter to Shenshan's capital, and hurried back to the palace without daring to stay any longer.

Chang Ji read the letter sent by Tan Qing in the secret room, and returned to the palace. After all, what he could find out was limited. Right now, he only found out the name and official position of Nan Zhao's envoy, but he has not yet found out whether this person is Nan Zhao. Zhaozhuo people.

Shen Shanxun came to the secret room to deliver refreshments to Chang Ji, and when he saw the letter, he hurriedly asked, "Your Highness wants to inquire about the envoys of Nanzhao?"

Nagao nodded.

Shen Shanxun said: "His Royal Highness just instructs his ministers to do these things. Although Shen Shan Mansion is not as good as before, it still has some manpower in the imperial capital. It is not difficult to inquire about the news. Why does Your Highness need the fourth princess to inquire? Once the news leaks out, it will be bad for people to find out His Highness's whereabouts."

Chang Ji said: "The royal family has always been suspicious of the Shen Shan Mansion's intentions, and now they intend to put pressure on the Shen Shan Mansion in order to seize military power. If they know that the Shen Shan Mansion is secretly spying on the envoys of Nanzhao, they will inevitably become suspicious of the Shen Shan Mansion. Dissatisfied with the royal family, they intend to collude with Nanzhao. Shenshan Mansion is in a difficult situation now, why bother to get involved in such a thing. Now that the new emperor is enthroned, the Cangyu clan has gained power, everything is complicated, and the funeral in the palace is hectic. How can you care about me? Uncle Xun, you don't have to worry too much."

Hearing what she said, Shen Shanxun couldn't speak for a long time. He stood in front of Chang'an, bowed to Chang'an and said, "Your Highness...Your Highness really thinks about Shen Shanfu all the time, minister, Grateful."

He wiped the old tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, and said: "Your Highness inquired about the news of Nanzhao's envoys, do you want to use the power of Nanzhao's envoys to escape the crime and return to the palace?"

Chang Ji said: "Not bad."

Shen Shanxun bowed and said: "The minister has been operating in the capital for many years, and there are a few hidden threads. This matter is left to the minister. Don't worry, Your Highness, Shen Shan Mansion will never be implicated."

He secretly sent a letter to Nanzhao, and ordered the people hidden in Nanzhao to investigate carefully, and news came soon.

The fundamental reason why Nan Zhaojin sent troops to Luoshui this time was because his father, Nan Zhaoxiu, was seriously ill. He wanted to cheat Nan Zhao's military power into his hands by sending troops to foreign countries, intending to seize Nan Zhao's throne when Emperor Xun was critically ill.The second eldest Nan Zhaoran and the third eldest Nan Zhaoyan also followed in the footsteps of the eldest, gathering a group of people in Yanyang, the imperial capital, intending to lead troops to force the palace.

Unexpectedly, the three sons never fought against their father.Emperor Xie actually pretended to be sick on purpose to give them a chance to make trouble.Right now, Nan Zhaojin was forced to go upstairs and became a traitor.The second child and the third child were both imprisoned in Yanyang, the imperial capital, and their lives were in danger.

All of a sudden, the three sons were cut off, and the emperor turned around and made the seventh prince Nan Zhaozhuo the crown prince.Emperor Xun's intentions are too obvious, but he is clearing away all obstacles on the way to the throne for his most beloved young son.

After reading the secret report, Chang Ji couldn't help sighing: "This father is really partial."

Shen Shanxun said: "It's more than just partiality. It is rumored that Emperor Yan is very fond of Nan Zhaozhuo, and he is almost lawless. I didn't believe it before, but this time I have opened my eyes."

He unfolded the secret report to Chang Wei, pointed to the prince and said, "It is such an important event for a country to appoint the crown prince of the Eastern Palace. Emperor Xun has been busy, but Nan Zhaozhuo has never been back to Yanyang. Emperor Xun Send a letter asking him why he didn't go back to the palace to accept the conferment, His Highness guess what he said?"

Chang Jing frowned and thought for a while, "He doesn't want to be the prince of the Eastern Palace?"

Shen Shanxun said: "That's not true. He was in Misty Mountain at that time, and when he received the letter from Emperor Xun, he only said three words, lazy, deserving, and moving. His father asked him why he didn't go back to the palace to accept the crown prince. He said, too lazy to move. In the whole world, which courtier dares to talk to Jun father like this? Emperor Xie didn't lose his temper, and first issued the canonization edict. As for the canonization ceremony, when Nan Zhaozhuo wants to move It will be held again. This is a major national event for the crown prince, do you think it is absurd?"

Speaking of this, Shen Shanxun couldn't help but look at Chang'an. No matter what, Nan Zhaozhuo is now Chang's fiance in name. It seems a little inappropriate for him to say so, and he added: "But having said that, this It's also his job."

Chang Ji didn't care, he just said, "Is there a reason why Nan Zhaozhuo is so favored?"

Shen Shanxun said: "I've heard that Nan Zhaozhuo's biological mother, Mrs. Jing, was very much loved by Emperor Yun during her lifetime. As soon as she entered the palace, Mrs. Jing was named imperial concubine, and after her death, she was named Empress Wencheng. It is rumored that , Ever since the Jing family entered the palace, Emperor Yan has never accepted concubines, nor favored the other concubines in the palace. He only depends on Jing every day, and he is very infatuated. Nan Zhaozhuo is the only son of the Jing family A son is as precious as his mother. Since he was a child, he has been held in the palm of Emperor Xun's hands and loved him in every possible way. When he becomes an adult, he has developed a good skill and is ranked on the list of the four sons of Dongzhou. Emperor Xun treats him even more differently. gone."

Just as he was talking, someone knocked on the door outside the secret room, and Shen Shanxun went out in a hurry, and came back with a secret report after a while: "Your Highness, the envoy of Nanzhao will arrive in Lidu in five days."

Chang Ji took the secret report and read it, Shen Shanxun said: "What's your Highness's plan?"

Chang Ji said: "Let's go to meet this envoy."

Whenever envoys visit other countries, in order to show their solemnity, they often ride in canopy carriages, and the banners representing the emperor Tianwei of their own countries are hung in front of the carriages.The envoys are also prudent and mature, and their words and deeds represent the emperor of their own country, and they must not lose their national dignity.This was the case for all the envoys from various countries who arrived in Lidu one after another.

However, the envoys of Nanzhao were quite different.

A group of people abandoned their carts and rode in front, followed by only a four-wheeled Zhugai carriage, with the fiery red banners representing Nanzhao hanging on the carriage.The envoy of Nanzhao did not sit in the carriage either, as if he was afraid that people would not see him, so he took the lead and walked in the front.

Chang Wei disguised himself as Shen Shanxun's bodyguard, standing on the second floor of the roadside tea house, he could see the envoy at a glance, he was a young man with black hair and a high crown, his face was like a powder, and his peach blossom eyes shone brightly. There is an indescribable charm and romance.

During the Luoshui national funeral, everyone from the dignitaries down to the common people wore plain onyx.The entire emperor was plunged into white mourning, and the envoy was not afraid of being beaten. He was dressed in a bright red and festive silk gauze robe, and he swaggered through the city all the way. Sending glances secretly is a vivid portrayal of the four characters of the prodigal son.

The onlookers on both sides of the road were indignant, but they dared not throw them out.One is that the Fire Clan of Nanzhao prefers red and black, and most of the envoys are dressed like this when they go to other countries.Secondly, in the battle between Luoshui and Nanzhao, Luoshui was defeated. Although it was defeated by Nanzhao Jin who defected to Loufan, he was defeated by Nanzhao people after all.Forced to marry the princess to ask for peace, he also asked Nan Zhao for peace.
