Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 416; Engagement?
"No contact?"

Emperor Zhaowu narrowed his eyes slightly and then sneered.

"It seems that some people can't wait any longer."

Emperor Zhaowu had reservations about the fact that King Qin had not contacted Xihu Pass, but he was certain of one thing.

That is, Marquis Xuanwu of Xihu Pass has always been paying attention to King Qin, and he may even have speculated that King Qin suddenly came to settle in the capital, otherwise he would not have rushed to send his daughter to the capital.

Maybe this is a sign.

"Some people are dishonest."

Some time ago, Li Jiujun sent a battle report from the front line and asked whether to continue to pursue the remnants of the Turks. Emperor Zhaowu had never forgotten the shame that had always existed in his heart after so many years.

Although he knew that pursuit would be expensive and even futile, he would not be willing to let the remnants of the Turks go.

Perhaps he still has a gambling mentality in his heart. After all, if the remnants of the Turks can be wiped out this time, it will take at least decades, or even hundreds of years, for the Turks to pose a threat to the Yu Dynasty.

He feels that it is very worthwhile to spend some money to create stability for the next few decades. Besides, the army is over there now. It will come back from the better days and let the remnants of the Turks recover and make a comeback more than ten years later, right?

As for failure, the current Yu Dynasty cannot afford to lose. The national treasury has money and food, so why panic?
However, regarding Li Jiujun's letter and inquiry, Emperor Zhaowu did not announce it at the court meeting, but privately summoned several important ministers to discuss it in the imperial study.

In other words, there are not many people in the capital who know that Li Jiujun has written to ask about this matter, and it is not more than two hands, and apart from himself, most of them are his important ministers and he. confidant minister.

Of course, this is the number of people who know it openly. It is hard to say how many people know it secretly.

This is the reason why Emperor Zhaowu said that some people were dishonest at this time.

Li Jiujun has not returned with his army for a long time, and the troops in some cities around the capital have also gone to the Turkic territory with the secret edict. Since they plan to destroy the Turks, the troops will naturally increase, and they will also need food, grass, etc.

Therefore, when he issued the secret edict, he also mobilized 80,000 troops to enter the Turkic battlefield in the name of escorting grain and grass.

Of course, these are all secret operations, and the 80,000 troops are not mobilized in one place, but dispersed in several places, with as little noise as possible.

But he knew very well that even if he was the smallest, some people would still know, and Marquis Xuanwu of Xihu Pass was one of them.

As a founding general who had guarded the border for many years, Marquis Xuanwu would not just stare at Xihu Pass stupidly like some people.

After all, his identity situation is not very clean. If he keeps staring at Xihu Pass stupidly, he may die without knowing.

Emperor Zhaowu also knew this very well. Xihu Pass has sent a lot of talents to the outside world in recent years. It can be said that there are more or less people from Xuanwuhou in many places in the Yu Dynasty.

No, to be precise, it was an eye liner. Marquis Xuanwu was also a smart man and knew that some things could not cross the line, so the people who were arranged to go out would never compete for high positions, just to be in some positions that were neither high nor low.

He doesn't have the ability to control the camp, but he has the qualifications to participate in many camp affairs.

It was definitely an eye liner, so Marquis Xuanwu must have known about the troop deployment, but it was hard to say whether he knew about what Li Jiujun wrote in the letter.

But Gao Changting suddenly came to the capital, which made Emperor Zhaowu have to think more about whether he wanted Gao Changting to come to inquire about the news, or whether he wanted to convey some secret plan to King Qin.

In short, the actions of Marquis Xuanwu this time made Emperor Zhaowu feel something bad. "I arranged for people to keep an eye on Xihu Pass in secret, and at the same time, secretly sent messages to the secret agents of the major camps to resist those who have anything to do with Xihu Pass. I really want to see what Marquis Xuanwu wants to do."

Gao Fu quickly accepted the order and left the imperial study. Gao Fu slightly raised his head and looked towards the horizon.

He had a vague premonition in his heart that an abnormal storm was about to sweep across the entire Yu Dynasty.

"Hey, I just hope it doesn't cause too much trouble."

He sighed secretly in his heart and gave the order in secret.

Hot spring villa.

"Yao Yao, are you still angry?"

Ever since she came back, Princess Ningyang followed Huo Junyao. Seeing that she had not spoken a word, Princess Ningyang felt helpless and angry at the same time.

That Gao Changting, she really doesn't know the heights of the world, what the hell, a mere daughter of a marquis dares to be so arrogant in the capital.

"Angry? What are you angry about?"

Huo Junyao was stunned by my mother's question.

But she quickly came to her senses, smiled and shook her head and said, "He's just a brainless person. I'm not angry yet. Besides, I've already vented my anger just now. At this time, I'm afraid many people in the capital are scolding that person." Gao Changting is an idiot, and the Prince of Qin’s Palace is afraid that life will not be easy for some time in the future. "

Princess Ningyang was stunned at first, but then she understood the meaning of her words. Gao Changting's actions would indeed lead to these.

"If that's the case, then why haven't you said a word since you came back? It's been almost an hour. What are you thinking about?"

"Oh, you're asking this. I'm wondering why Gao Changting came to the capital all of a sudden."

Hearing this, the eldest princess Ningyang returned without thinking at all, "What else could be the reason? It must have been invited by King Qin. The relationship between their two families is already close."

"You don't know that when Prince Yide was still alive, he made an agreement with Marquis Xuanwu, saying that if he had a daughter, he would marry the King of Qin in the future."

"Is there still this matter? Then King Qin has already had a marriage contract, so why does he still marry the current Princess Qin?"

Huo Junyao had never heard of this matter.

It turned out that Marquis Xuanwu and Prince Yide actually had a marriage contract. This relationship was indeed much closer than the simple relationship between Prince Yide and Prince Yide.

But since there was a marriage contract, why didn't King Qin make any move when Emperor Zhaowu granted the marriage?

Also, it’s impossible that Emperor Zhaowu didn’t know about this, and then there was Marquis Xuanwu. Someone was trying to steal his son-in-law, so how could there be no movement at all?

When King Qin got married in the capital, there was a lot of noise. She didn't believe that Marquis Xuanwu didn't hear anything about it.

Moreover, both King Qin and Princess Qin have been married for many years, but there is no movement from Marquis Xuanwu. This is completely abnormal.
