Chapter 616 The Mouse Should Reveal Its Form
In July, the Queen Mother of the Human King wrote a letter of rebuke that shocked the world.
The book denounces Dai Viet for its inaction and for allowing Princess Mingyue to do evil things among the Human people, assassinate the Human king, and disrupt the Human society.
If Dai Viet doesn't give an explanation and punish the criminals, the Hu Man will use the entire territory's strength to pursue the matter to the end and fight to the death!
At the junction of Dongpu and Beixiang is Diaoyutai, the Buji Mountain Summer Resort.
There are a few chairs under the lush willows by the lake, and several white-haired old men with extraordinary demeanor are sitting on them. Each of them has a fishing rod in his hand, but his mind is not on fishing.
Emperor Dongpu took the cold tea at hand and took a sip. After abdicating, he had nothing to do and felt more energetic. He looked much better than before.
Thinking of the recent buzz, he glanced aside and said with a smile, "I heard that the Hu Man have posted wanted posters everywhere, digging deep underground to find Princess Mingyue and others. Does this scene sound familiar to you?"
Emperor Long Yuan was extremely amused, gloating over someone else's misfortune. "What do you mean by déjà vu? I'll never forget it! Hahaha! There's a barrier between the Central Plains and the outside world, and information transmission is delayed. If this news had been passed on quickly enough and let them know, do you think the Queen Mother of the Human King would still have dared to issue this letter of rebuke?"
"The place of exile is the fiefdom of Princess Mingyue. It's home to powerful individuals and abundant wealth. The Huo family is unrivaled in terms of talent and strategy, the Bai family is as wealthy as a nation, and in terms of power, they have the support of the two powerful nations of Dayue and Xiling. They also have Wangque Tower, the Killing Hall, the Twelve Wharves, and the unrivaled medical and poison masters... These alone are enough to withstand the might of an entire nation." Emperor Feng Lan didn't even bother to mention the five thousand divine soldiers, simply counting them off on his fingers. "If the Hu Man wants to compete with Princess Mingyue in toughness, they're courting death. Of course, I'm only saying this under normal circumstances."
Hu Man's situation is abnormal and cannot be generalized.
"King Mobei, stop pretending to be asleep. Get up and talk about current affairs together! Don't be so unsociable. We are all old friends, so stop pretending!" The injured Emperor Bei patted the person who was lying next to him pretending to be asleep, not letting him enjoy the peace alone.
Ever since the King of Mobei cut off one of his arms, thus ending his own path to becoming emperor, the relationship between him and his nephews and nieces has become much more harmonious than before. The uncle has truly been loving and the nephews have been filial. The new Emperor of Mobei has frequently asked for advice on state affairs without any hesitation.
This made the other old guys very jealous and unhappy.
The King of Mobei took away the palm-leaf fan that was shielding his face from the sun and sat up helplessly, scolding the people around him with a smile, "You are all old foxes, you all know what's going on, what's there to talk about?
Although Princess Mingyue acts recklessly and uses tough means, she is by no means willful and reckless.
We fought with her for so many years and suffered so much, but we have been alive and well. Even if she wanted to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, she only cut off Long Yuanhuang's hair bun.
She was not a person who killed people indiscriminately, especially when Yuan Yao's whereabouts were unknown, she would never kill the most useful hostage, King Hu Man, not to mention that she only gave Hu Man fifteen days to hand over the hostage.
There's only one explanation for all these irrationalities: they're just acting again."
Hearing the word "again", the leaders of several countries felt mixed emotions and couldn't help laughing.
"So, the Human royal family and the princess are performing on the same stage. We old guys have nothing to do now, so we can just watch the show."
At the same time, the palace of the Human King was bustling with activity.
Beside the ruby-inlaid carved solid wood dining table, the Queen Mother handed the fresh fragrant fruit she had just brought to the two young girls. "This is a tribute from a small tribe in the south of the Humans. You can't find it anywhere else. They pick the best ones every year and send them here. You can only eat them in July. They taste very good, sweet and fragrant. Try them."
"The Queen Mother is so thoughtful." Tianbao took a fragrant fruit, the size of a fist, and took a bite. The juice that overflowed was extremely sweet, and the fruity fragrance quickly spread in the air, which was very pleasant to smell.
Little Wheat Ear was even more unceremonious. After tasting it and finding it delicious, he immediately threw one to each of the people playing chess on the other side. "Thank you, Queen Mother! I've been here for so many days, and you've troubled me to bring delicious food every day. I've gotten fat!"
The two of them enjoyed the food, and the Queen Mother was also happy.
Ever since Wang'er was "stabbed", she had been staying with several people in this palace for half a month and had gained some understanding of their personalities.
The more polite you are to them, the more polite they will be to you.
Taking advantage of the two people's happiness, the Queen Mother spoke, "Miss Su, Miss Huo, I issued a letter of reprimand according to your plan, and now it has become known to the whole world. Can Emperor Xuan Jing of Dai Viet really bear this? How long will it take for this matter to end? I have no other intentions, but the country cannot be without a king for a day. Right now, the entire court, both civil and military, has their own thoughts. The constant commotion, and the memorials advising the establishment of a new king are piling up. I can't stand it for much longer."
Nowadays, most of the outside affairs are handled by her second son, Prince Human. She is worried that the prince will really have some ideas, which will eventually lead to a rift between the brothers. She is also worried that others will covet the royal power and even her second son will fall into the conspiracy and be in danger.
The two major forces, the Xiongnu and the Tartar, were watching covetously from the side, and the Humans could not afford to engage in internal strife any longer.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother. The misunderstanding between Dai Viet and the Hu Man can be easily resolved. As long as the Hu Man do not covet the Central Plains, the Central Plains will not regard the Hu Man as an enemy." Tian Bao smiled and continued, "As for the other matter, it's almost time to wrap it up."
She looked at the nervous Queen Mother and smiled again, "Queen Mother, please announce the establishment of a new king."
King Hu Man, who was playing chess on the other side, almost fell off his chair.
The Queen Mother said, "..." Miss Su is very beautiful, and her smile is also very beautiful, but the smile she showed when she said that just now was like a fox baring its teeth, with a very dark heart.
Bai Xiaofeng straightened the crooked Hu Man King, fanning himself and chuckling, "Your Majesty has been at the pinnacle of royal power for decades, yet I didn't expect you to be so impatient. I feel like I've lost face fighting you."
King Hu Man really wanted to smash the chess pieces onto Bai Xiaofeng's face one by one.
If I had known this would happen, he would not have done it even if I had given him five hundred divine soldiers to kidnap Bai Xiaofeng!
Now I feel like a mouse that fell into an oil vat while trying to steal some fish! I can’t eat it! I can’t escape!
He vomited three liters of blood!
The old man Poison saw that his face turned blue, red, and purple with anger, and he rolled over with the fruit in his mouth and laughed.
Su Wu poured him tea with a sullen smile, pretending to be kind.
Bai Yu's peach blossom eyes curved, and he smiled like a fox. "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, please don't be upset. The rat hiding in the palace is too cautious and hasn't revealed any flaws yet. If we want to catch him and end this farce quickly, establishing a new king is the best bait."
The Xiongnu and Tartars have already made their move, taking advantage of the chaos. They will never allow the barbarians to establish a new king and restore order, and they will certainly take action against the new king-designate. When the time comes, the rat will reveal himself."
"I know!" The Human King gritted his teeth, and the veins on his neck bulged out, twisting and looking ferocious.
If he wasn't patient enough, his blood vessels would have burst because of these people.
Doesn’t he know the purpose of establishing a new king?
He has been a "dead man" for a month, and he is just waiting for the farce to end quickly and Hu Man to regain his composure.
Damn it, he was really angry!
Letting a wolf into the house, stealing a chicken but losing the rice, hurting the enemy by a little bit but losing a thousand miles, losing both the wife and the army!
He now looks like an idiot with the word "idiot" stamped on his forehead!
After this incident, he didn't want to have anything to do with these people again in his lifetime!
