……

The matter of Dongtang stationing troops on the border was once again brought up to the court by the prince's subordinates.Tan Shenglin and others unanimously wrote a letter asking the emperor to send General Lu to pacify Eastern Xinjiang.The soldiers under General Lu's command guarded the northern region for a long time to keep the northern border stable. How could they be easily dispatched to the eastern border?

Just when the emperor was hesitating, the prince suddenly wrote a letter... A fold of the letter was like a thunderbolt on the ground, which caught everyone by surprise.

……

These things, Ding Qiyu, who retreated at home and designed war tactics, didn't know.After getting the news, Lu Weixi came to Ding Qiyu's workshop immediately, and before she could speak, he said with a solemn expression: "Qiyu, something happened in the court, and I have to tell you."

Ding Qiyu at the table, who had shown a gentle expression because of Xi'er's sudden arrival, immediately turned serious: "Xi'er, what's the matter?" The affairs in the court are not related to Xi'er's family, or to Yiran's brother and sister.

Lu Weixi walked lightly to Ding Qiyu's side, hesitated for a moment, and told the truth: "The prince wrote a letter and asked the emperor to issue a decree to let... let Princess Suyun marry Dongtang far away, and use the method of marriage...to put an end to the chaos in Dongtang."

"What?!" Ding Qiyu stood up from the chair abruptly, looked into Lu Weixi's eyes and said in astonishment, "Xi'er, what did you say?"

Lu Weixi sighed, and repeated: "The prince wrote a letter, asking the princess to marry Dongtang far away."Now, one of the Lu family army and the princess must go to Eastern Xinjiang.One has to suspect that the changes in Eastern Xinjiang are also caused by the prince's treachery.

Ding Qiyu's head was still in a mess, and he asked blankly: "Isn't Dongtang a place where women are respected? Reminiscing about the past, who will you marry?" In Dongtang, who is worthy of being the only princess? !

"He is the only prince of the Lord of Dongtang." Lu Weixi replied truthfully, and then sighed, "Maybe it is because the man does not have any real power in Dongtang that the prince dared to propose marriage." Regarding the situation of the prince in Dongtang, Lu Weixi knew a thing or two that if the princess really married, the future might be uncertain.Lu Weixi has also faced such a predicament. The happiness of a lifetime has become an exchange in the struggle for power and tactics. She can understand this feeling.Therefore, Lu Weixi couldn't help feeling a little sad in his heart for Yiran's situation.

"What did the Holy Majesty say? He won't agree?!" Ding Qiyu asked anxiously while supporting Xi'er's shoulder.

Lu Weixi shook his head: "I heard that the Holy Majesty was furious. Marriage... After all, Dagan lowered his posture and took the initiative to seek peace. Dad couldn't accept it. If it weren't for the unclear intention of Xirong in the Northern Territory, Dingbei Army should not be easily transferred to the Eastern Border , he wants to ask for an order to go out. There is no news about how the Holy Majesty will deal with it."

"I'll go into the palace to take a look!" Ding Qiyu left this sentence, and hurriedly changed into the guard uniform of the palace.She often enters the palace, but the guard's mask has never been taken off her face.

Lu Weixi's brows were also full of worry, knowing that Qiyu was in a hurry, she didn't stop her, and straightened the skirt of Ding Qiyu who was in a hurry to change clothes, and only told him: "Be careful in the palace." He didn't say anything superfluous, They sent away the anxious people.

On the carriage entering the palace, Ding Qiyu thought about it all the way, and the shock after hearing the news at Chu Chu calmed down a little.Ding Qiyu, who had regained some sanity, basically saw the stakes.

These days, during many discussions with his wives and Yiran's brothers and sisters, Ding Qiyu has a more detailed understanding of the overall current situation around Daqian.

Dagan has five neighboring countries.The Tang Kingdom in Eastern Xinjiang is the most powerful among the neighboring countries, and the relationship with Dagan is lukewarm. Although it is definitely not friendly, it has always been well watered.

Xijiang is the Xuanmo country that Ding Qiyu once visited. It is the closest to Daqian among all neighboring countries. After the Fu family opened up the Xuanmo business network, it added a link for the economic win-win of the two countries, and will The relationship between the people of Xuanmo and the people of Dagan has been brought closer.

There are two countries in southern Xinjiang, Yu Country and Jiao Country. Although the national power is weak, they always fear that the world will not be chaotic, and like to cause some turmoil to disturb the people in southern Xinjiang. Small fights" in the eyes.

The northern border is the Xirong Kingdom, whose national strength is second only to the Tang Kingdom. The Xirong people are good at fighting, and there is a long-standing warlike factor in their blood, which has been the biggest headache for Daqian for a hundred years.The previous King Xirong had aggressively invaded Dagan. Thanks to the general Xinglu, General Xinglu led the northern army to pacify the northern border and beat them back to their hometown.Later, Xirong launched many aggressive campaigns, large and small, and it was only by relying on the Dingbei Army to stay firmly in the northern border that it was able to suppress a peaceful side.The most recent battle was the year Ding Qiyu left Xingcheng for Jiangnan, and Lu Weizhao lost his leg because of the leak of the defense map.Although that battle was fierce, Lu Weizhao still defended the safety of northern Xinjiang.Since that battle, Xirong has changed to a new king, but recently he has shown his favor to Dagan frequently and has no other actions.

Apart from the five kingdoms of Dongtang, Xuanmo, Nanyu, Nanjiao, and Xirong, in the remote and barren land, there are some small tribes that have been rooted here since ancient times.

Dongtang, who has always been neutral, has the heart to compete. Judging from the current situation, the situation in Eastern Xinjiang is indeed much more critical than that in Northern Xinjiang.The other generals are far behind General Lu in terms of strength and prestige. Therefore, apart from marriage, the only way to quell the turmoil from Dongtang as quickly and efficiently as possible is to rely on General Lu.

Thinking of this, Ding Qiyu supported his forehead and let out a long sigh. It's not that she didn't see the worry and struggle in Fang Caixi'er's eyes.Bingge or marriage?One side is Xi'er's family, the other side is Yiran, the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, the prince's move is ruthless!

He rushed to Suyun Palace without stopping, but was in vain. Ding Qiyu immediately turned to Chitan Palace, and the guards led him to find Zhao Keran, but Yiran was still nowhere to be seen.

Seeing that there were no outsiders on the left and right, Ding Qiyu couldn't care less about etiquette, and hurriedly asked in two steps: "Brother Ke! Yiran she—" Before he finished asking, Ding Qiyu found that Zhao Keran was sitting in front of the mahogany desk, looking at him with piercing eyes. The desktop didn't seem to notice her arrival at all.After daily acupuncture treatment, brother Ke can barely get out of bed and walk around for a while.

Ding Qiyu frowned, took another step closer, and called out, "Brother Ke?"

Zhao Keran muttered to himself in a trance: "Sister...Xiao Yi..." After finishing speaking, it was as if he had just heard Ding Qiyu's last sentence, and he didn't know where the strength came from. He suddenly got up from the chair and grabbed the girl. Ding Qiyu's skirt standing beside him shouted excitedly at her, "Xiao Yi can't go to Dongtang! Absolutely not!"

Ding Qiyu grabbed Zhao Keran's wrist and looked straight into Zhao Keran's scarlet eyes: "Brother Ke, where did Yiran go?" He didn't tell him to calm down, Yiran was going to marry Dongtang far away, how could brother Ke be calm?He is a vital relative in Yiran's heart, so in the same way, Yiran also has the same status in Brother Ke's heart.

Hearing this, Zhao Keran slammed back into the chair as if he had lost all strength: "She... went to find her father..." Zhao Keran had tears in his eyes, and now he only hated his frail body for being unable to do anything. Take it all!

"Brother Ke..." Ding Qiyu raised his hand and held Zhao Keran's shoulder, comforting him and himself, "Brother Ke, have you forgotten what I said? Yiran is a real princess, she is extremely intelligent and can control the world For the overall situation, she will go to the Holy Majesty personally, presumably the Majesty will not agree to the crown prince." After all, Yiran is the emperor's only daughter, who wants to send her little shadow to a distant place where she will never see her face in a lifetime, I have to fight him hard!Although the family relationship of the royal family is different from that of ordinary people, Yiran should be somewhat sure... From this point of view, the possibility of a military revolution is much greater, and the father-in-law's cunning must be stepped up.

Zhao Keran was speechless, and the two of them just silently waited for Yiran's news in Chitan Palace.

……

The Crown Prince’s East Palace, Nanyuan is emitting a strong smell of burnt and disgusting grease. The large blood-red withered pulp flowers on the side of the Nanyuan have absorbed the disgusting smell, and the petals and leaves have become fuller and darker. sunk.In the main courtyard, the prince on the high platform was in a very good mood, lazily leaning on the golden chair covered with the fur of an unknown animal, watching what happened off the stage with great interest, while sipping fine wine to add to the fun.

Under the stage, the tortured victim with shaved hair and fainted was fixed on a wooden pole across the firewood, his whole body was pissed off.The torturer held the torch in his hand and lit the fire under it without hesitation. The tortured victim who woke up from the scorching pain seemed to have fallen into another more terrifying nightmare. There was a desperate whimper.The torturer turned over the victim on the wooden stake blankly, like roasting, but roasting will bleed the livestock to get dirty, but here, the roasting is a living person.

In front of the high platform, a row of palace people were holding large fans, fanning the burning smell and unpleasant smell of fat from the burning human flesh to the opposite direction of the high platform, to ensure that their highness had the most comfortable "watching experience".In order not to block the Prince's sight, all the palace people holding fans knelt down, looking at the tragedy in the audience with fear, not knowing when such a nightmare would happen to them.

A young eunuch ran up to the high platform and whispered to the prince, Zhao Kangran was obviously in a better mood, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Mr. Jin Yueming Jin hurriedly walked into the courtyard.When the visitor stood in front of him and was about to salute hastily, the prince took the lead and said, "Mr. Jin is here, please forgive me! Today, Mr. Jin is lucky. I just developed a new delicacy. People are burning!" The prince said, as if smelling the burning smell, his eyebrows frowned, and he raised a brocade handkerchief that had been smoked with spices to cover his mouth and nose, and the eunuch beside him, who was very capable of observing words and expressions, immediately walked to the high platform, kicked Among a row of palace people, the one who fanned the fan the most was kicked down.

The prince glanced over all of this, and then took off the brocade handkerchief that covered his mouth and nose. Regardless of what Jin Yueming said eagerly, he continued to say to Jin Yueming to himself: "Oh, but my lord The chef said that roasting bloody and dirty meat like this may not be successful, if it fails, the 'meat' with blood and heart will be replaced later and roasted, sir can always eat roasted meat today."
