Chapter 855: Chu State Envoy, Xu Qing
Chapter 855: Chu State Envoy, Xu Qing
Twenty court rods sounds like a small number, but in fact it is already a heavy punishment. Every five rods are changed to ensure the strongest blow. Since ancient times, countless people have died under this court rod. dead person's!
And the ones who died were at most thirty shovels, and twenty strokes were equivalent to killing the servant in black for half his life.
There will be another sentencing in the future, and King Loulan will definitely not punish lightly. If the punishment is light, Zhou Guohui will punish Loulan for him, and then maybe it will not be a matter of one person.
Although Li Mingyue is a concubine, after entering into the marriage, Li Mingyue represents Zhou Guo. Even if she is married, she is still a concubine, equivalent to a permanent envoy in Loulan, how can she allow others to slander her?
So far this matter has been concluded.
Xu Qing and Xiao Ye went in to catch thieves, and the whole incident was framed by the servants in black.
Although the crown prince's lies were full of loopholes, Emperor Zhou unexpectedly didn't get to the bottom of it. Instead, he pushed the boat along and shifted all the responsibility to the attendants in black.
Perhaps in Zhou Huang's view, the truth of this matter is not important, as long as someone takes the blame, no matter what happens, Princess Mingyue must marry to Loulan.
After the group came out of the palace, Xu Qing looked at Prince Zhou and said, "The princess is frightened, I will send the princess back home first."
The prince of Zhou Guo said, "That's wrong. King Loulan is the princess' fiancé, so it should be sent back by King Loulan. In the past, I think it's just because the envoy is getting close to the princess. There is an opportunity to slander, and if it is used at this time, won't it only increase criticism?"
Li Mingyue shook her head and said, "Don't worry, Mingyue wants to go back alone."
Prince Zhou laughed and said, "That's fine. King Loulan and Mingyue Huangmei will go to the Plum Garden to enjoy the flowers and view the scenery at tomorrow's day. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, why don't I invite a few of you to the tavern for a drink together?" Having a glass of wine can be regarded as a glass of wine to settle the suspicion, everyone should give me this face."
Chun Heong House
It is naturally inconvenient for the third princess of this famous brothel to come in, so she can only return home early.
Xu Qing looked at the Crown Prince of Zhou and said, "I never imagined that His Royal Highness would hold the banquet in this brothel."
Prince Zhou laughed and said, "That's wrong. This Chunxiang Tower is an elegant place for talented people in my capital to recite poems and have fun. We are all elegant people. Why not go to this elegant place to drink and have fun?"
King Loulan echoed, "What His Royal Highness said is absolutely true. Only a person with a heart will see that everything is dirty."
Xu Qing glanced at King Loulan and didn't argue with him at this moment.
The prince of the state of Zhou is also a frequent visitor here, and he ordered some wine and dishes, all of which are local specialties.
Originally, Prince Zhou wanted to order some dancing girls to add to the fun, but later he dismissed the idea.
At this moment, Prince Zhou smiled and said: "I feel pain in my abdomen, please take a step away for now, everyone continue."
After all, Prince Zhou went out, but after you Prince Zhou went out, you did not go to any toilet room but entered the next door.
He didn't believe that these two people could hold back their quarrel! This is a good time to hear the truth of the matter.
inside the house
Sitting across the round table, King Loulan looked at Xu Qing and snorted coldly: "I, Loulan, have been in the Western Regions for many years, and you are the first one who dares to play with me like this!"
Xu Qing looked at King Loulan and said, "Playing? Let me tell you, maybe the walls in this place have ears. King Loulan had better be more careful with his words."
King Loulan sneered and said, "Your Majesty has been informed today. These days, the king will invite the princess to enjoy the flowers and scenery every day. As for the humiliation you have imposed on me, Loulan will repay it sooner or later!"
Xu Qing looked at King Loulan and said: "If you dare to touch half of Mingyue's hair in the past few days, I will personally lead the troops to destroy your Loulan!"
Xiao Ye said from the side; "I will help too."
King Loulan laughed angrily when he heard Xu Qing's words: "It's ridiculous! Have you ever led soldiers at your age? The cowhide is going to be blown! I destroyed the nine countries in the Western Regions in Loulan and only now have the current territory! I don't know why. Envoy of the country, what record do you have? Don’t be so young and aggressive that you bring disaster to your country and don’t know it!”
When Xiao Ye heard King Loulan's words, he pretended to be surprised and said, "Nine countries have been destroyed in a row? We really don't believe it. Since the founding of our country, we have only destroyed one country so far."
King Loulan snorted coldly: "Then you should know that my Loulan is strong, and two envoys dare to speak rudely and threaten Loulan! Today you add to the shame of this king, and this king will wash it away with your blood!"
Xiao Ye looked at King Loulan and said with a smile: "That's right, so far our country of Chu has only destroyed one grassland. Whoever destroys more countries will become stronger. There are few people in the world that can compare to Loulan."
King Loulan snorted coldly: "It's good to know..."
While talking, King Loulan suddenly realized something was wrong, and turned pale with shock, "Which country do you say you are from?"
Xu Qing stood up and said, "The envoy of Chu State, Xu Qing."
Xiao Ye also stood up: "Deputy envoy of Chu State, Xiao Ye."
Xu Qing looked at King Loulan and said, "Don't doubt what I say, I dare to do what I say!"
After finishing speaking, Xu Qing and Xiao Ye left the table.
King Loulan sat in his seat for a long time before he came back to his senses, his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Chu State is now recognized as the strongest country in the world, even as strong as the grassland fell to pieces under the iron hoof of Chu State, and the Wanyan tribe even surrendered their allegiance.
This time, there were three generals who sealed the wolf and lived in Xu in the Chu State on the grassland.
Exercising the power of the monarch, accumulating earth to form an altar, sealing the heavens in a grand ceremony, and finally carving stones and returning them.
These are the dazzling auras on them.
And these three people who sealed the wolf and lived in Xuxu were Xu Qing, Xiao Ye and a female general named Xiao Ruxue.
The characteristic they have in common is that they are young, and it is outrageous to be young.
Xiao Ye is the eldest son of King Xian of Chu, basically the prince of Chu.
No wonder they didn't put Loulan in one's eyes from the very beginning, they did have the capital.
Offending Xiao Ye is no different from offending Chu State...
But how could he give up Princess Mingyue?
For Loulan, he even divorced his former concubine!
Just in order to be able to marry the princess of Zhou State as his concubine, and rely on Zhou State from now on, how could he give up lightly because of mere intimidation?
So what if they are generals who seal wolves and live in Xu?
There is still a state of Zhou between Loulan and Chu!
And Loulan is now a subsidiary state of Zhou State, so they have to ask Zhou State if they attack Loulan!
