After the New Year, Qiu Feng and Dong Ling, who were sent by Yu Yuanzheng to help Prince Jing find the iron box, actually showed up.

I haven't heard from them for such a long time, and I don't know how they are doing now.

"Greetings, Princess." When the two saw Yu Yuanzheng, they felt like they had finally returned to the team.

This was the first time they had been away from their master for such a long time since the prince assigned them to be Yu Yuanzheng's subordinates.

"How was it? Did you encounter any danger along the way?" Yu Yuanzheng first concerned about his subordinates.

"My dear Princess, we did encounter danger, but we managed to steal the iron box from the Canglan Palace. It has now been sent back to the capital."

"Well, thank you for your hard work. Tell me about your experiences outside."

The two of them told each other everything that had happened along the way.

Yu Yuanzheng only now knew for sure that the old concubine Wang in Prince Yu's Mansion was really the mistress of Canglan, and that the third master had also been conferred the title of Prince by Emperor Canglan.

Come to think of it, he was just a bastard of the Prince Rong's Mansion in the Wei Dynasty. If he hadn't passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, he might not even have an official position.

Even if he could become a Beijing official, his generation was over, and his descendants could only be considered members of the Shangguan family and could only enjoy the most basic support from the Shangguan family.

But his power and status can never be compared with that of a prince.

And after Canglan was born, he would be a prince, and he had made great contributions to the country, and he was also the son of the lord.

He is only 41 years old now, and he can marry again and have children in Canglan. He doesn't need to have his wife and children in Dawei at all.

However, he probably never dreamed that the iron box he finally got had been opened.

Now Canglan has been forced to surrender. Are his days in Canglan as wonderful as they and his mother imagined?

Yu Yuanzheng knew immediately that this was impossible.

In the evening, Shangguan Ziqi returned from the army.

The two chatted about the third wife and her son.

"My husband, what do you and my father think? Are you going to let them live in peace in Canglan?"

"Of course not. This time Canglan asked for peace, I have already drafted the conditions for my Shangguan family.

Before the third old lady faked her death, her identity was not removed by her father on behalf of her grandfather.

She is still the old aunt of my Shangguan family, so she has to return to my Shangguan family and be buried in the cemetery specially designated for aunts in my Shangguan family after her death.

And my third uncle is also a descendant of my Shangguan family, so of course he should return to my Shangguan family's ancestral clan. It is unreasonable for him to be a prince in another country.

Therefore, Canglan must return the two of them to our Great Wei."

Yu Yuanzheng knew what he meant as soon as he heard it.

Of course he came back to confess his crime and accept punishment.

"Also, I plan to go to Canglan." Shangguan Ziqi continued.

"What are you doing? The iron box has been found."

"Back then, our ancestors were angry about Canglan's invasion, and even after Canglan surrendered, they did not let the culprit go."

"You want to emulate your ancestors?" Yu Yuanzheng was surprised. She didn't expect her husband to have such great ambitions.

"Right. If we don't beat them deep into the bones, they will return to their old ways many years later." Shangguan Ziqi said angrily.

Yu Yuanzheng looked at him with sparkling eyes.

At this time, my husband is handsome and charming.

She likes men like this.

Shangguan Ziqi enjoyed being looked at like this by his wife.

"Just wait for me in Longbei City. I'll come back and go back to Beijing with you after I finish this matter."

"T."

On the third day of the first lunar month, the eldest prince came to Rongbei City. Shangguan Ziqi handed the seal of command to him for temporary safekeeping and temporarily took over the position of chief commander.

Then he set out in disguise with a dozen secret guards towards the capital of Canglan.

Before leaving, he handed over Ni Tuo's letter together with the letter from the emperor.

When they rushed all the way to Canglan Capital, they saw that all the people with the surname Zhou in Canglan Capital were in a state of despair.

But Shangguan Ziqi doesn't care about these.

He also found Yun Ling from Chu Lelou as soon as possible.

It was the prince who told him how to contact Chu Lelou.

This is the most important spy base of the Wei Dynasty in Canglan Kyoto.

Shangguan Ziqi then learned from Yun Ling that it was actually the Crown Prince of Canglan who came up with the idea of ​​using smallpox to harm Wei.

He was able to come up with such a vicious plan, which shows that he is no ordinary person.

There is no Liming surname in my heart.

No matter which country the people with the surname Zhou are from, they are all common people in the world.

He is so vicious that he doesn't deserve to be a human being.

He then inquired about Prince Zhu's character in detail.

A few things show that he is an ambitious and insidious villain.

He would suppress to death anyone who did not obey him.

He had an elder brother who was one year older than him, who plotted to cause him to fall off his horse and die when he was only eight years old.

He also had a younger brother who was born in the same year as him. He was suppressed by him and left the imperial city early to get a fiefdom.

None of the other princes dared to become his enemy.

He killed three brothers.

He could also do it in a way that the emperor couldn't find any evidence against him.

In addition, he was the queen's son, and since he was named crown prince at the age of eighteen, few dared to compete with him. As long as they showed the slightest sign of doing so, they would be ruthlessly suppressed by him.

But he knew that the emperor was in control of everything, so he was very obedient to his father and never let the emperor discover his ambition.

And he really did it in a way that left people speechless.

Even if the emperor cannot pay attention now, he will still carry the emperor to the court from time to time to listen to the court officials' discussions and do things without any mistakes.

The other princes of Canglan were not of high status, so the officials of the court did not dare to speak ill of the prince in front of the emperor.

But people like Chu Lelou can still get a glimpse of what’s going on behind the scenes.

When some of the children of officials come to visit, they will say some irrelevant things, which can be understood after further analysis.

After understanding this man's temperament, Shangguan Ziqi changed his plans.

We must not let him take the position, otherwise there will be trouble in the future.

This kind of person does things without considering the life and death of others.

Nor do they consider whether it violates ethics or morality.

The letter from Shangguan Ziqi to Canglan was delivered to the emperor.

After reading it, Prince Zhu cursed loudly in the imperial study, but then he had to suppress his anger.

The Great Wei required Canglan to cede three cities to the Great Wei and to provide 10,000 fine horses every year.

Add another 100,000 taels of silver.

Send the prince to Wei as a hostage.

It's really a huge mouth.

But they have bombs. If you don't agree, they will continue to fight until they enter Jingcang City.

After he had read the letter from the Wei Kingdom, the letter from the Southern Shu Kingdom also arrived.

Although their appetite was not as big as that of the Wei Dynasty, they also required Canglan to cede Yunshan City to Nanshu and supply Cangyun Mountain ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and other precious medicinal materials worth 100,000 taels of silver to Nanshu every year.

Seeing this, Prince Zhu really wished he was not a prince.

What should he do with this mess?

When he saw the letter written by Shangguan Ziqi, he felt nothing.

He just didn't like those two people.

He had always suspected that the two men were arranged by the Great Wei to serve as accomplices in Canglan. If he had not reacted quickly and confined them to the Lord Chang's Mansion, who knows what they would have done to harm Canglan.

Since they came back, Canglan has started to lose ground.

But he still respected his father's decision and did not do anything to them.

Holding two letters from the credential, Prince Zhu went to the bedroom of Emperor Canglan.

The demands of the two countries, as well as the demands of Prince Rong's Palace of Wei, were read out to the emperor one by one.

After hearing this, Emperor Canglan burst into tears.

He has been the king of Canglan for eighteen years. He always remembers the will of the late emperor. Once he gets the iron box of Dawei, he must conquer Dawei, make it a vassal state of Canglan, and make the people of Dawei slaves of Canglan.

Kill the emperor and empress of Wei to avenge the humiliation of a century ago.

But God wanted to kill him, and Canglan became a stray dog ​​in his hands.

"㳍........your aunt...come to see me."

Emperor Canglan was sad for a while before he controlled his emotions and squeezed out a few words.
