Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 253 Detaining the Prince
It's just that they didn't expect that Xia Qin would veto such a compromise.

"You don't need to say any more, no matter what you say, the prince will not help you."

He turned around extremely indifferently, shook his robe and sat down in front of the table. He folded his sleeves and raised his pen as if he was about to write something.

"All of you, as subjects and subjects of Dalai, don't think about Dalai at all, and you don't think about your father."

"If you take risks, no matter whether you save General Jingwu or not, and whether you cause Dalai to lose five cities in the end, it is an act of disrespecting your father and the emperor and letting down the people."

"It's fine if you want to ruin your own size, but you want this prince to help you abuse yourselves, it's a big joke!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand quickly and wrote something on a piece of blank rice paper. After a while, he put his pen down on the table, folded the rice paper he just wrote a few times, stuffed it into a light yellow envelope, and handed it to The guards around him.

"Submit this letter to Emperor Father and explain the situation on the frontier to him. The prince will return to the court in three days with his army."

After finishing speaking, he emphasized a few more words: "The prince has clearly written the news that General Jingwu is still alive in the letter, and I believe that the decision of the father will be the same as that of the prince. General Jingwu used to be He is a good general who cares about the country and the people, so this time, he must be willing to sacrifice for me again for the five cities of Dalai and the people in the cities."

After he finished speaking, he smiled a few times, seeing the anger in everyone's eyes.It's just that no matter how angry they are, it won't help. After all, it is him, not Huang Chenyan, who comes to the frontier this time and can make major decisions.

The talismans of the five cities are only held in his hands, even if Huang Chenyan and others want to take them away, they can't move a little bit.

He has stayed here in the frontier for too long, if he does not return to the imperial court, Xia Bin, who has been staying in the imperial city for a long time, will definitely benefit a lot under this rapidly changing situation.

Xia Qin's abacus was rattling, he thought that frankly intimidating in front of everyone would be able to successfully end their desire to save General Jingwu. After all, everyone knows Ming Shengdi's temperament, as long as Ming Shengdi knows If they want to exchange the city for General Jingwu, then their future prospects will be worrying, and the head growing on the neck will no longer be secure.

But Xia Tianqin has calculated thousands of times, but he has not calculated people's hearts correctly.

The guard accepted Xia Qin's letter, and before selling the tent, he was stopped by two young generals from the Fu family.At this time, Huang Chenyan moved forward with a cold face, stepping closer to Xia Tianqin, the cold light in his eyes almost burst out.

"My daughter never thought that His Royal Highness would be so considerate of the important affairs of the family and the country. It's really that we people don't understand the overall situation."

Although Huang Chenyan was blaming himself, there was no corresponding expression on his face. On the contrary, the closer he was to Xia Qin, the colder his eyes became.

"What are you guys going to do?" Xia Tian looked coldly at the people who had surrounded his tent, and saw that they involuntarily blocked the curtain doors for entering and leaving the tent, his face became even more ugly.

"Your Highness, there is no need to panic. We don't want to do anything. It's just that since His Royal Highness doesn't think about us, or my father who has worked for the court for more than ten years, then we don't need to think about His Highness. .”

After speaking, Huang Chenyan settled on Xia Qin, turned around and gestured to General Huai.

"Please Huaijiang Army do my little girl a favor and tie up His Highness the Crown Prince."

"What?!" Xia Qin seemed to have heard something absurd, a little overwhelmed.

Seeing that General Huai really pulled out the rope from behind and made a gesture to tie him up, he realized that they were not joking with him.

"Bold. You bastards, what do you want to do to this prince! Come on! Take them down!"

Xia Qin yelled angrily, waiting for his guards to come forward to protect him, but he yelled twice, but there was no response from outside.

"Your Highness, there is no need to waste your efforts. Your bodyguards are all assigned to you by the emperor, but once the emperor's imperial order comes out, they will definitely not listen to you." Xia Shengqing stood aside, put his hands in his sleeves and said calmly .

His raised eyebrows were hooked upwards, and his beautiful thin lips were curved.

"You! You guys!" Xia Tian was extremely angry, and turned his eyebrows coldly at everyone, especially when he looked at Xia Shengqing, his already thin face looked a little ridiculous because of the angry and exaggerated expression, "Boss Xia, don't forget yourself Your identity! As a servant of the royal father, you don't think about Da Lai or the royal father, but instead abuse your personal power to bend your elbows and use the imperial order given to you by the royal father to help them control their own affairs. Prince, who gave you such courage!"

"His Royal Highness is worrying too much. The slaves are helping them just for the sake of Da Lai. When the Prince's Palace was in the frontier, it was so self-willed. This time, it disregarded benevolence, righteousness and morality in order to protect the immediate interests. Even if the five cities were saved at the moment, In the future, you will also give the emperor a bad name because you refused to save General Jingwu."

"The slave just did what he was supposed to do. If that's the case, then there's nothing wrong with the slave stopping His Highness the Crown Prince's stupid behavior."

Then, without waiting for Xia Qin to react, General Huai and the two brothers of the Fu family had already tied Xia Qin tightly.

Huang Chenyan took two steps forward, reached out and groped around Xia Qin's upper body, and took out five talisman orders with the same specifications and different fonts from the inner pocket in his arms.

"His Royal Highness, what an offense. Before the father is rescued, save the wronged His Royal Highness, and you stay in your tent."

Huang Chenyan originally wanted to let Xiaqin cooperate with them and pretend to cater to the Huns, but seeing Xiaqin's reluctance, if he was forced to force him, it would cause trouble for them, so it is better to let him be honest Hide in the tent so as not to cause trouble.

"Bold! You are really bold!" Xia Tian was so anxious that he could only repeat this sentence repeatedly, "You have detained the current crown prince without permission. Do you know what kind of crime it is? I will not let you daring lunatics!"

Huang Chenyan laughed and said, "Your Highness, you can do whatever you want, please."

After Huang Chenyan and the others captured Xia Qin, they immediately began to discuss the plans and steps to be prepared for tomorrow's wise battle against the Huns.

Although they kept Xia Tian under control, they didn't really intend to exchange the five cities of Dalai.

Otherwise, those Huns would undoubtedly be taken advantage of, and if Emperor Ming knew that they had really disobeyed their duty as a courtier in order to save people, even if General Jingwu was rescued, he would not be able to escape the suspicion and suspicion of Emperor Ming.In addition, Xia Qin will definitely add fuel to the side, which is even more detrimental to them.

So, everyone planned to follow Xia Zijin's suggestion, first pretend to agree to the conditions of the Huns, ambush the team in advance before meeting with them tomorrow night, and then send the fake talisman, and wait until they send General Jingwu back When the time comes, make another attack and kill them by surprise.

This plan is of great importance, and if you are not careful, you will lose everything.Huang Chenyan and the others did not dare to neglect at all.

Seven or eight hours before the transaction with the Huns, they gathered together and began to plan their own careful ideas.

The lights in Huang Chenyan's camp were lit all night long, and everyone's discussions continued in the darkness of the night.

It's just that everyone didn't notice that when they were discussing the plan nervously, there was a person in the camp sneaking out, and secretly rolled a small piece of paper into half the size of a knuckle outside the corner of the tent. , then stuffed it into a small cylinder, tied it to a snow-white carrier pigeon, and after looking around in a hurry, raised the carrier pigeon and sent it out.

The carrier pigeon fluttered its wings in the dark night, let out a slight coo, and quickly disappeared into the night.

Compared with the bitter cold in the frontier, it is already the beginning of spring in Dalai, thousands of miles away, in the capital city. The sun is warm, and the bright red apricots are budding on the branches, just waiting for the first spring rain to fall.

Ming Shengdi was very happy after receiving the good news from the frontier a few days ago. He even spoke quickly when he went to the court. Leave it to Xia Bin to take care of it.

Xia Bin originally thought that once Xia Qin left, he would be the only prince who could show his face in front of Ming Shengdi.As long as he does a little work, he can win the trust and expectation of Ming Shengdi, and thus take his place during Xia Qin's departure from Beijing.

At first, it was indeed as smooth as Xia Bin thought, but gradually he discovered that the power entrusted to him by Ming Shengdi was insignificant, and even compared with Xia Qin's status as the prince, these rights were quite insignificant. None of them arrived.

With such a big gap, it is inevitable that Xia Bin will feel resentment in his heart. He has no other good solution but to ask Shui Yanran to speak good words for himself in Ming Shengdi's ear again and again.

It's just that it doesn't do much.

Ming Shengdi was obsessed with the power of life and death that he possessed, and his already suspicious mind became more sensitive after going through many incidents.

Once Shui Yanran mentioned the words about Xia Bin and decentralization, Ming Shengdi would keep silent, even scolded Shui Yanran, and repeatedly warned her concubine not to interfere in politics.

For a while, Xia Bin could no longer find any way to raise power in a short period of time, and when he was depressed, he could only drink away his worries in the mansion.

On this day, Xia Bin came out of the palace and returned to his mansion with a sad face. As soon as he entered, he threw off his official hat and sat down on the sandalwood chair.
