Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

"If I had known today, I should have risked my old life before, and I would have found an opportunity to shoot this son to death in the manor!"

The old servant looked at the man on the right hand side of King Jubei, feeling a bit of blame in his heart.

That person was Yan Songyu, the second-ranked eunuch in the capital. He was originally a big shot who was ordered to intercept and kill the Wu Pavilion by Emperor Jing Hong, and he went to Beidi to contact Tuobaqi, who had long been in collusion with the royal family.

In the view of the old servant, if Yan Songyu had gone to Beidi, then it would not be Jiang Qingyu, the fourth son of the palace, but Jiang Qingjian, the second son, who made the achievements of opening up the territory today!

Unfortunately……

This person claimed to be ranked second among the top ten eunuchs, second only to the first eunuch in the Star Reaching Realm, but he was a man with a false name!

At the same time, at the peak of the Sunshine Realm, not only did he become defeated by the Emperor Yue, he was also chopped off by the opponent with the King Yue sword. If the prince hadn't arrived in time, he might have lost his life!

In other words, Jiang Qingjian lost today, and Yan Songyu was also one of the culprits!

At this time, Yan Songyu seemed to have noticed the old servant's gaze, and turned his head to smile at him.

The old servant was so frightened that he quickly bowed his head to show respect.

Yan Songyu sneered, turned his gaze to the north again, touched the empty left sleeve, and sighed softly:

"My lord, don't blame me for talking too much. If you hadn't saved my life, I wouldn't remind you."

"In the past few days, in the court hall, hundreds of officials have been arguing endlessly over the matter of cutting down the vassal. The current situation of the Refubei Palace is not very good."

"The feat of opening up the frontier and expanding the land is too enviable! Sitting on the power of the three northern states is too daunting!"

"My lord is already an extremely human minister, and he should understand the principle of meritorious deeds. Why not give up this merit in exchange for the trust of His Majesty and all the officials?"

King Rejecting Bei looked calm:

"Your Majesty has always trusted me a lot. As for the officials..."

"Could it be that Mr. Yan thinks that this king can get their approval and praise if he surrenders this credit?"

"Will not."

"They will only intensify their smears in the court hall, saying that this king has a deep scheming heart, and if he gives up his achievements, he must have other plans!"

Yan Songyu nodded slightly.

Based on his understanding of Baiguan, it would indeed be the case.

"So……"

He was silent for a while, and suddenly asked:

"My lord, do you have any?"

Is there really another conspiracy as Baiguan said?

I saw King Jubei's expression remained unchanged, and he raised his head slightly:

"If this king says yes, will Lord Yan believe it?"

"..."

Yan Songyu shrank his eyes, not knowing how to answer the conversation.

"Ha ha!"

King Rejecting Bei smiled and patted the other person on the shoulder, explaining:

"To be honest with my eunuch, I do have selfish intentions to conquer Beidi this time!"

"This king's condition is getting worse day by day, and I don't know how long he can last. Once this king dies, no matter whether it is a green sword, green bamboo or green jade, in terms of personal qualifications and achievements, they are not enough to secure the throne, and it is difficult to convince the public!"

"Therefore, this king must arrange everything before death, so that this king's son can accumulate enough prestige and achievements, so as not to cause chaos in the northern border after this king's death!"

On the side, the second wife, Jiang Jing, looked worried:

"My lord..."

Wasn't it the Nine-Turn Golden Pill that he had just taken, why did he become seriously ill again?

King Jubei held her hand and comforted her:

"Don't worry, this king won't be able to die for a while."

"Ah Jing, I know that you and Jiang Yu are not convinced, but at present, Qingyu is indeed more suitable to inherit the throne than Qingjian."

"but……"

"Qingjian is your son and mine after all, so naturally this king will not treat him badly."

"This king has already written the memorial. Please Your Majesty promote Qing Jian as the governor of Yongzhou. With the support of this king and Jiang Yu, I believe he will become the next governor of Yongzhou in a short time!"

"..."

Jiang Jing's expression froze.

Governor of Yongzhou?

Isn't this where the Jiang family always sat?

The Jiang family supported Jiang Qingjian vigorously before, in order to make him the King of Rejecting the North, so that the Jiang family could go one step further, walk out of Yongzhou, and gradually expand their power.

Now Jiang Qingjian not only failed to reject the Northern King, but went back to compete with the Jiang family for food in the same basin?

How could the Jiang family agree?

Although Jiang Qingjian is Jiang Yu's grandson, after all, his surname is Jiang, not Jiang!

King Rejecting Bei wants to separate his mother and son from the Jiang family!

Behind him, the old servant of the Jiang family trembled all over.

Rejecting Bei Wang's move is really extremely insidious!

On the side, Yan Songyu smiled.

After Beidi surrendered, there was no force in the north that could restrain and reject the Northern King. This was not what the royal family wanted to see.

But if the Jiang family and the Jubei Palace fell out...

Perhaps the royal family can use this to reduce the feudal vassal and reduce the three-state fiefdom of the Jubei Palace to two states!

Just as Yan Songyu was thinking about it, suddenly a scout rode up ahead and shouted loudly:

"I'm coming!"

"Fourth Young Master, they have arrived!"

When everyone heard the sound, they looked away suddenly.

next moment.

I only heard a deafening sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded in front of me.

Immediately afterwards, rows of cavalry appeared abruptly from the horizon like black tides, from far to near.

There was a carriage in the middle of the Kuroshio, and a young man in white robes stood in front of him, holding a sword in one hand and a roll of maps as tall as half a person in the other.

It was a brand new map of Chu.

Chapter 189

When this troop came to Luoxia Town, the tens of thousands of people present all stared with bated breath.

Under the gaze of everyone, Jiang Qingyu got off the carriage and walked up to King Jubei and the others alone.

"Father!"

"Second Niang, Eunuch Yan."

He lowered his head slightly and presented the map:

"The leaders of the eight major tribes of Beidi have surrendered!"

"This is evidence!"

King Jubei picked up the map and took a look. He first glanced at the word "Chu" written on Beidi's position, and then picked up the letter of acknowledgment of surrender that was full of conditions and signatures.

After a while, a smile appeared on his face, and he handed the two to Yan Songyu:

"Eunuch Yan, is there a problem?"

Yan Songyu took the map and letter of acknowledgment of surrender, paused for a moment when Wutuo became the royal court and Xiaonanshan Temple became the only Buddhist holy place in Beidi, shook his head and said:

"no problem."

At the same time, he looked at Jiang Qingyu, smiled and praised:

"Two months ago, when I saw the fourth son in the prince's room for the first time, this old servant thought that one day you would emerge from the abyss, and when we met again today, it really proved that sentence, a tiger father has no dogs!"

"More than 20 years ago, the prince surrendered Youzhou. Today, the fourth son surrendered Beidi. Your father and son have added two states to Chu State. Such achievements are unprecedented!"

Jiang Qingyu bowed her head and said:

"Father brought down Youzhou because of his own ability. I made Beidi surrender, but I was honored by others."

"This time, Luodang, the daughter of the third house owner of Huamanlou, took the lead in subduing Beidi. If she hadn't killed the only two surviving ancestors of Beidi, the Eight Great Tribes would not have voluntarily surrendered."

Yan Songyu praised:

"It's rare that you don't take credit for it!"

"This time to expand the territory, the third landlord's daughter Luo has made an indelible contribution. His Majesty has decided to make her king, and it will be announced to the world soon."

"But the fourth son also contributed a lot, especially in the battle of Heishui Lake, which played a powerful role in the Chu army. After learning about it, His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince praised you very much. They have been studying how to award you for the past few days."

"If the Fourth Young Master has any request, you might as well put it forward boldly and let the old slave convey it on your behalf. I think His Majesty will definitely not refuse."

Jiang Qingyu said neither humble nor overbearing:

"Eunuch Yan, I don't want official positions, gold and silver, exercises, etc."

"All I want is one thing."

"..."

Yan Songyu's expression froze.

The matter Jiang Qingyu said was not difficult to guess, it was nothing more than asking His Majesty to allow his biological mother and elder brother to leave the capital and return to the palace for a family reunion.

"My lord, you don't need to say too much. This old slave will help you report this matter to His Majesty."

Jiang Qingyu bowed and saluted:

"Qingyu thanked Eunuch."

at this time.

Jiang Qingjian and Jiang Qingzhu of the North Dynasty waved their hands, and motioned for them to call Jiang Qingmeng and Jiang Qingyin who were sitting in the carriage together.

Jiang Qingmeng lifted the curtain of the car, took her sister's hand with excitement and walked out together.

But found that Jiang Qingyin trembled all over.

"Fifth sister, what's wrong?"

"No, nothing."

Jiang Qingyin stared at the front, and saw that among the group of dignitaries who belonged to the noble guests of the palace, there was an elegant man who seemed to be 30 years old, looking at her with a smile.

The man was wearing a long gown with black stripes and a white background, with shoulder-hanging long hair as white as snow, and a long strip-shaped piano case on his back.

It was Li Jingxing, the lord of Qin Palace.

"Palace Master..."

In the carriage, the two daughters Luqi and Duyou also saw the man, and they immediately looked panic-stricken.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingyin couldn't help sighing:

"Senior sisters, please stay in the carriage first."

She also did not expect that Li Jingxing would go to Bingzhou himself!

Is it to catch up with the father and king, or to capture Luqi and Duyou's two daughters back?

If it is the latter, then there may be disputes.

"You two sister-in-laws don't have to worry."
