"Your Majesty Shangguan Wuji, greet Her Highness the Princess!"
In the main hall of the Mingyu Imperial Palace, Hanhai Army led Shangguan Wuji and bowed to Princess Qingyun in a dignified manner.
"General Shangguan No need to give gifts, please give me a seat."
Princess Qingyun already knew the cause of the matter. Faced with Great General Who Suppresses the West who held 50,000 Hanhai Army, this teenage girl suppressed the fear and anxiety in her heart and showed the magnanimity that a royal family should have.
Of course, Wang Chen standing next to her gave her the greatest courage!
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Shangguan Wuji sat down on the chair, and then said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, I led the army to surround Mingyu Imperial Palace, not with any evil intentions, but in compliance with Empress Dowager's order. Please forgive me for any offense."
Empress Dowager!
The words of Great General immediately caused a storm in the hall.
No one can understand why Empress Dowager would do such a thing today.
Even though Princess Qingyun was not born to Empress Dowager, she married Great Yan for the alliance between the two countries. It is really unbelievable that Empress Dowager suddenly intervened and ordered Border Army to besiege the marriage team!
Wang Chen's eyes flashed. "General Shangguan, just tell the truth, Great Ye, what happened over there?"
If there hadn't been a major change in the imperial capital, such a thing would definitely not have happened.
Intuition told Wang Chen that something might have happened to Emperor Shaowu as well!
Shangguan Wuji glanced at Wang Chen, then looked at the astonished Princess Qingyun again, with a trace of pity flashing in his eyes. "Ten days ago, Great Ye changed the palace, Empress Dowager came back to listen to politics behind the curtain, deposed the Holy Emperor, and re-established His Highness Prince Jing as emperor!"
"Three days later, His Highness Prince Jing will officially ascend the throne!"
Princess Qingyun's eyes suddenly went dark and he fainted on the spot. Fortunately, he was supported by the maid.
The news was so exciting that her already tense spirit completely collapsed and she could no longer bear it.
"You guys help Her Highness the Princess down to rest."
Wang Chen said in a deep voice, "Let Imperial Physician come over for diagnosis and treatment, there must be no mistakes!"
After the maids took Princess Qingyun away, Wang Chen ordered the guards present to leave the hall, leaving only Sun Zhengheng.
Although Shangguan Wuji brought his close guard Knight, Great General relied on his bravery and entered the hall alone, so now only he, Wang Chen, and Sun Zhengheng are left.
Wang Chen said calmly, "Shangguan Great General, what does Empress Dowager mean?"
This question was asked without any respect, making the corners of Shangguan Wuji's eyes twitch, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Since Hanhai Prefecture is located on the border of Great Liang, thousands of miles away from Great Ye, normal exchange of information is not easy. It relies entirely on flying eagle and fast riding messengers, and the efficiency has always been very low.
Therefore, Shangguan Wuji has some understanding of Wang Chen, who is Imperial Envoy of Marriage, but his understanding is very limited.
As a teenager, Wang Chen's sophistication and calmness surprised even Shangguan Wuji.
What surprised him even more was that he couldn't see through the details of Wang Chen!
You must know that Shangguan Wuji is one of the few sixth-tier Martial Venerables in Great Liang.
This made Great General Who Suppresses the West a little more wary.
After thinking about it, Shangguan Wuji said, "The meaning of Empress Dowager is actually the meaning of His Highness Prince Jing. Princess Qingyun can no longer go to Great Yan. The one she wants to marry is the king of Southern Barbarians!"
Barbarian King!
Wang Chen's heart is really full of energy.
Southern Barbarians refers to the barbarians in the south of Great Liang. Southern Barbarians is composed of large and small tribes. The most powerful tribe is the leader and calls itself Barbarian King. It can barely be regarded as a country.
But compared to countries such as Great Liang, Great Yan and Great Qi, the barbarians are very backward, which is equivalent to the difference between feudal dynasties and primitive tribes. The latter still have the custom of drinking blood from their hair.
But the barbarians are born warriors, brave and aggressive, and are not afraid of death. They often harass the southern border counties of Great Liang.
It is also one of the main foreign troubles of Great Liang.
Great Liang also tried to completely solve this scourge, but the Southern Barbarians tribe lived in the mountains and forests, occupying an absolute geographical advantage, and the barbarian wizards were good at using poison. Several encirclement and suppression campaigns ended with Liang Jun losing troops and generals.
Barbarians are rough and brutal, many of them inhumane, and Barbarian King is famous for being bloodthirsty and brutal.
Empress Dowager and Prince Jing actually want to marry Princess Qingyun to Barbarian King, which is equivalent to pushing her into a pit of fire. Their intentions are so vicious!
Wang Chen finally understood why Shangguan Wuji wanted to surround Mingyu Imperial Palace.
I'm just afraid that Princess Qingyun will get the news and refuse to obey the will!
After all, the three thousand elite Yulin who escorted Kazuki's team were the personal guards of Princess Qingyun. Once they took action, the scene would be difficult to control and casualties would be inevitable.
Shangguan Wuji obviously wants to win without a fight!
"The poisoning was probably the Sheriff's idea."
Shangguan Wuji obviously saw what Wang Chen was thinking and said, "I don't think it's real poison?"
Wang Chen is noncommittal.
He didn't want to talk about this topic, because it was meaningless now. What was important was. "If Shangguan Great General, Empress Dowager and Prince Jing do this, aren't they afraid that Great Yan will fall out?"
Shangguan Wuji was silent for a moment, and then replied, "His Highness Prince Jing is probably planning to join forces to destroy Yan. He is just waiting for Great Yan to turn against the Upper Sect, and then send troops at the same time as Great Qi."
Wang Chen is speechless.
The fat Prince Jing appeared in his mind.
I didn't expect the other party to hide it so deeply!
At that time, Wang Chen also made a mistake.
Wang Chen has not forgotten that this Prince Jing joined Great Liang's most elite Huben Army when he was thirteen years old. He has been serving in the army, fighting at the forefront of the same Great Qi, and made great achievements.
Therefore, in the minds of many people, Liang Shijie is the most suitable prince to inherit the throne.
However, when Emperor Shaowu came to the throne later, Empress Dowager, in order to consolidate his throne, deliberately recalled Prince Jing to Great Ye to serve him, in order to prevent the latter from becoming powerful in the army and threatening Emperor Shaowu.
Now Prince Jing actually wants to join forces to destroy Yan. The water here is too deep!
"You may not know that His Highness Prince Jing's mother is Empress Dowager's niece!"
Shangguan Wuji said, "Empress Dowager's natal family was originally an exiled noble of Great Qi, but the Holy One insisted on fighting Great Qi to the end. Countless manpower and material resources have been wasted over the years, and Great Liang is almost unable to support it."
Wang Chen immediately understood why Empress Dowager wanted to change his ways and establish a new emperor!
He sneered, "Then what can Great Qi get?"
Great Liang and Great Qi have a blood feud for generations, and Prince Jing has fought many battles with Great Qi. Even if there is a connection with Empress Dowager Lineage, why should Great Qi become an ally with Great Liang?
Shangguan Wuji was silent for another moment before replying, "Prince Jing is likely to cede the three northern counties to Great Qi."
Wang Chen really laughed this time, "This is seeking skin from a tiger!"
"You know it's poison, but you still want to taste it."
There was a trace of helplessness in Shangguan Wuji's voice. "Otherwise, we Great Liang are likely to be destroyed by Great Qi and Great Yan."
He looked at Wang Chen: "Grand Guardian Wang, now that the matter is over, what are your plans?"
