Chapter 325: The Happiest of the Ignorance 3
The imperial palace of Xilun Kingdom was built at the center of the capital of Xilun Kingdom and is also the most luxurious building in the capital.
Since tomorrow is the birthday of the king, the entire palace was hung with red lanterns representing joy, and bright ribbons. At the same time, he would marry the number one beauty in Xilun Capital tomorrow, so the golden character "Happy" is also posted on these lanterns, and the red character "Happy" is also posted on some city gates in the capital.
Now in the main hall of the palace, the main hall used to discuss state affairs has been used as a place for banquets for ministers, and is filled with banquets. Many dressed maids kept passing by, pouring tea and wine for the adults, making a different landscape.
The King of Xilun is about thirty years old now, so he looks relatively young. Now he took off his yellow robe and sat on the throne in brocade clothes. On a table below him was Dan Tai Haoran, the right prime minister of Xilun, while the table opposite him was empty and no one sat.
The King of Xilun looked at the empty table from time to time, and his face was slightly unhappy. Finally, he seemed to be a little helpless, so he asked the eunuch next to him: "Have you sent someone to invite the national tutor?"
The eunuch beside him immediately bent down and replied, "Your Majesty, this person has been there for more than half an hour, it should be here!" After saying that, he looked at the door, but he did not see the shadow of Helianshu, and a hint of curiosity appeared on his face.
Dan Tai Haoran, who was sitting at the lower head of the King of Xilun, looked at the empty table opposite, and showed a trace of sinister smile on his face, but this sinister smile was soon replaced by calm. Seeing the worrying expression on the King of Xilun on the throne, he felt a little unhappy, but he still pretended to be respectful and said, "Your Majesty, please don't worry. I think that Helian's national master is old, so his body will naturally be somewhat inappropriate, and it is inevitable that he will delay it!"
The officials sitting under Dan Tai Haoran also catered to him as soon as they heard him say this, but it changed a little bit. More or less, some of the national masters are old and should go back to enjoy their old age. And when they hear the ministers below say this, the King of Xilun on the throne also showed a look of thinking!
Just as the discussion was gradually getting louder, the descendants suddenly said loudly at the door: "Who said I am old?" The voice was a little old, but the old man had majesty. Everyone's eyes gathered at the door, and saw that the national teacher Helianshu standing at the door was not wearing festive clothes or official uniforms, but wearing armor, and the smell of fighting on the battlefield.
The person who came was Helianshu. On the way to the palace, he suddenly felt that it was inappropriate to go like this, so he immediately asked someone to bring the armor he wore when he was young. Although he is old now, he can still wear it.
The King of Xilun was slightly stunned, and his face immediately changed from surprise to anger: I think tomorrow will not only be his birthday, but also his wedding day, which can be regarded as a double happiness. On such a festive day, you, as the master of the court, not only do you have no intention of celebrating, but instead wear military uniforms. Are you deliberately looking for bad luck from time to time?
Although he was a little unhappy, he still didn't dare to be too strict with the master in the court, so he said in a deep voice: "Master, why are you dressing like this?"
Hearing the question from the King of Xilun, Helian Shu walked up to him, first glared at Dan Tai Haoran, who was a little proud of his side, then knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, I, Xilun Weiyi!"
Such an accident surprised everyone, and they stared blankly at the Grand Master kneeling on the ground. They were all a little surprised why the national master, who had always been smart, became stupid today. Tomorrow is the day of His Majesty's wedding and birthday. Wouldn't you cause trouble for yourself if you say this?
The King of Western Wheel obviously put in the effort to endure. Although he was a little unhappy, he did not show any expression on his face. Instead, he said in a deep voice: "I don't know where the national master said this?" Although he was well concealed on the surface, the displeasure in his words was revealed.
Helianshu also heard the displeasure in the words of King Xilun, but he had to fire the arrow on the string, so he immediately said, "Your Majesty, the Great Zhou and Dayue have been stationing troops recently. The old ministers think that their target is not the other party, but my Western Lun!"
Helianshu's words were filled with an uproar, and this sentence was more shocking than the previous sentence.
The biggest reaction was Dan Tai Haoran. He thought that the strategy of sowing discord was thought of. Now someone said that his plan failed in front of all the civil and military officials of the court. Wouldn't he slapped him in public? So as soon as Helianshu's words fell, he couldn't calm down and said, "The national teacher's words are serious. The information from outside shows that the Great Zhou and Dayue stationed troops because of our sow discord. The battle between the two countries is inevitable. Now you say that the two countries stationed troops to deal with my Xilun, isn't that a joke?" In his tone, there was no trace of respect.
However, Helianshu now has no time to care about whether he respects him or not, but he sneered at the plan he mentioned. At the same time, he knew that one of the big reasons for the joint attack on Xilun between the Great Zhou and the Great Yue was because of his sow discord. Moreover, judging from the current situation, this plan had completely failed. So he replied coldly to Dan Tai Haoran's words: "Your plan? Haha... I think you should care more about your brother now. I heard that they are being chased by strange teams and have fought several times. There are hundreds of people dead on your brother's side, and others are not even hurting their hair!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Dan Tai Haoran said a little louder, "I think those five hundred cavalry are all elite among the elites. How could they suffer a loss from the soldiers of Dayue?"
"I'm talking nonsense?"
Helianshu laughed and said, "There is heaven beyond the sky, and there are people beyond the human beings. Your five hundred people are indeed elite, but it does not mean that no one can defeat them. At the same time, I did not say that these people are from Dayue?"
"Then who do you think they are?" Dan Tai Haoran said angrily, "I'm going to see who else in this world can compare to those five hundred people?"
The King of Western Lun on the throne also seemed a little interested at this time and asked, "The National Master may as well speak out!"
Helianshu cleared his throat and said, "I guess the person who led the team is Deng Long!"
Deng Long?
Dan Tai Haoran laughed silently and said, "What you are talking about is Deng Long, who was sent to Tonggu Pass after being an official for more than a month? Isn't it a joke for the army he led?"
The King of Xilun also smiled and said, "And I heard that Deng Long is just a businessman. What can this army on behalf of the merchant do? Isn't the old national teacher to make us think of our hearts?"
A faint laughter came from the ministers below, which made Helianshu feel very embarrassed, so he said in a deep voice: "I don't need to say more about who Deng Long is, but Dan Tai Haoran, just wait to collect the body for your brother!"
As soon as Dan Tai Haoran said this, his face was very embarrassed, but he was not good to get angry on the spot. Although he scolded Helianshu for a long time, he could not say that. So he said in a deep voice: "National Master, even if he wants to collect the body, I will go. I don't have to worry about it!"
Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, the King of Xilun immediately came out to smooth things over and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, there is no need to say much from the two Qing families. Tomorrow is my happy day. Wouldn't it be a bad thing to say about this? The National Master was just joking about us?"
After reminding the King of Xilun, the national master also remembered the purpose of his visit and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is not a joke. The goal of the Great Zhou and Dayue this time is us!"
The King of Xilun was stunned, with a hint of displeasure on his face and said, "National Master, why did you mention this matter again? It is obvious that the Great Zhou and Dayue are going to go to war. How could the target be us? And if the Great Zhou and Dayue are united, wouldn't that be a joke?"
"Your Majesty!" Helianshu said anxiously, "Everything that the old minister said is true!"
The King of Xilun was about to speak, but Dan Tai Haoran on the side interjected: "Then the national master might as well tell you what you think!"
Helianshu turned his head and glared fiercely, and then said to the King of Xilun: "Your Majesty, let's talk about Deng Long first. Deng Long is a member of the Great Zhou. Why did he bring a team of more elite people than we sent to Dayue to fight against our ability? If it were not for the permission of Dayue Kingdom, how could he have this courage? Secondly, Dayue and Dazhou frequently dispatched troops during this period. The Huya Army, which was supposed to go to Tonggu Pass, was transferred to Cangyun Pass. At the same time, when my servants came back, they also saw that Dazhou had heavy troops rushing to Cangyun Pass. That was a bad attitude! At the same time, the envoys of Dazhou and Dayue in the capital suddenly disappeared at the same time today. This is a coincidence! Your Majesty, all this shows that the goal of Dayue and Dazhou is our Xilun!"
However, King Xilun and Dan Tai Haoran did not show any shock, but seemed to be hearing something funny. After a while, King Xilun said: "National Master, I will explain these things. A few days ago, the Great Zhou and Dayue both asked to borrow from our country to the other country, so there was such a strange movement of troops. As for the disappearance of the envoy, it was a war between the two countries, so it was natural for them to rush back! Moreover, His Majesty Xiao of the Great Yue Kingdom had already sent a letter to express that he would send someone to my birthday and wedding banquet tomorrow!"
Helianshu's face changed when he heard the Taoist's face and asked quickly: "His Majesty agree?"
Dan Tai Haoran said proudly: "Your Majesty discussed with us. The army felt that if the two countries fought, the Dayue Kingdom would have a chance of winning, so we agreed to Dayue Kingdom to use the opportunity. If it is for this reason, there will be so many soldiers in the Great Zhou Dynasty in Cangyunguan!"
As soon as these words came out, Helianshu's face changed.
Four words came to my mind:
Chapter completed!
