Chapter 956 People look down on me~~
Several things have happened in Shu recently, so the King of Shu specially convened officials from Shu to discuss matters today. However, Xia Tingyu did not go, and declined on the grounds of being unwell.
At that moment, she was sitting cross-legged on the corridor with her back against the wall. The black tiger in the yard was lying on the ground and yawning. A butterfly disturbed its meditation. The black tiger opened its eyes and slowly raised its huge head, but the butterfly did not fly away. The black tiger was too lazy to care. After folding its paws, it yawned heartily and continued to sleep.
Xia Tingyu looked at it and cursed, then continued to look up at the azure sky.
Although she did not attend this meeting, someone had been passing on the content of the meeting. The pieces of paper placed casually at hand were the content of the current meeting.
However, it wasn't a spy arranged by Xia Tingyu, but someone sent out by the King of Shu.
And as far as Xia Tingyu knew, besides herself, the second brother Xia Ruoyun did not go today, and her father also sent a message there.
Lang Gou squatted aside, glancing at the papers on the ground from time to time.
Xia Tingyu supported himself with both hands and leaned back. Seeing Lang Gou's look, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Look if you want to. It's not a big deal. After you finish looking, I'll give you something to do."
When Lang Gou heard this, he chuckled and didn't say anything polite or shy away from saying anything. He just picked it up and started reading.
But then he frowned and said, "Damn it, what does General Yan mean by that? Why did he bring up your marriage?"
Xia Tingyu smiled, her fox eyes slightly frowned, so charming and enchanting, "Grandpa Yan is just worried that I will be missed too much and something unexpected will happen, so he is supporting me and letting me choose by myself instead of being used by my father for marriage."
Lang Gou's brain wasn't very good, but he felt a little strange looking at the contents on the paper. How could he tell that General Yan was protecting the princess? Didn't the old man say that the princess's marriage was extremely important?
However, among the recent rumors in Shu, there is indeed a rumor that Her Royal Highness the Princess is looking for a son-in-law, which has aroused some interest among many rich young men and officials in Shu.
But Lang Gou knew clearly that all the nobles and smart people hid their children or sent them away, for fear that they would be chosen by the prince to be betrothed to the princess.
These people were not afraid of becoming relatives with the King of Shu, but they were afraid that their children's lives would be ruined.
Lang Gou looked at Xia Tingyu again: "I think no one is worthy of you, Princess."
Xia Tingyu looked up at the sky with a pair of fox eyes. The mole at the corner of his eye was raised because of his smile. Then he saw the princess turned her head and looked at Lang Gou: "Yes, but she doesn't like me."
Wolf Hook was stunned for a moment.
Xia Tingyu chuckled and said, "Kunling, go get the hairpin that the Queen gave me. Later, Langgou, you can go to the palace for me and pass on the Queen's oral instructions."
Kun Ling turned around immediately.
Lang Gou looked at Xia Tingyu in confusion.
But Xia Tingyu continued, "When you go there later, your father will definitely ask you how I view General Cui's case. Just tell him that I meant to kill him."
Lang Gou's expression became serious. "Your Highness, will this cause General Wang's dissatisfaction? After all, General Cui is his subordinate."
Xia Tingyu shook his head: "If we don't kill him, there will be problems."
Lang Gou frowned. This General Cui was actually another one of the recent events that happened in Shu. It was said that this general got drunk and started talking nonsense in the restaurant. He said that now that the foreign enemies of Daxia were invading, if the King of Shu led the army out of Shu and entered the capital, the world would definitely change its master. And he, Cui Xiang, was a loyal minister and at least had the rank of a military officer.
One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
Such remarks immediately caused rumors to spread throughout the city. After all, the King of Shu had a special status, much more special than the Eighth Prince of the past.
Everyone in the world knows that the King of Shu was under house arrest in Shu by the previous king. It is hard not to think too much when these words come from Cui Xiang, a general in the army.
Especially now, although Shu is located in a valley, it is very clear about external affairs. Wars are about to break out in Mobei and the Western Regions, and the prince is leading his army out now.
rebel?
Collude with foreign races?
No one would have thought much about it before, after all, he was a member of the royal family, but with the example of Xia Chenfeng, it might really happen.
So the matter became more and more serious. Now Cui Xiang has been put in jail, but this rumor is still circulating outside.
But because Cui Xiang was the vanguard general under Wang Mang and had a very high prestige in the army, no one dared to do anything without the prince's order.
Xia Tingyu suddenly tilted his head and continued, "But wait until the second man's people finish speaking before you speak. If the second man's people say that he was killed, you can say that I didn't know about this, so I didn't answer."
Lang Gou nodded, but he moved his gaze from the paper back to Xia Tingyu and asked, "But if this is the case, will the prince still ask about this matter that is being talked about outside now?"
Xia Tingyu lay on his back, looking at the top of the corridor: "Your Majesty and the Queen can't have children, what about the future crown prince?"
Wolfhook nodded.
Xia Tingyu turned his head to look at the father and son of the Wu family, Wu Qinhu and Wu Mao, who were sitting on the side playing chess.
Wu Qinhu didn't want to say more about this, but when he saw Xia Tingyu looking at him pitifully, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "The three things seem unrelated, but in fact they are linked together, and it's nothing more than a sentence. Your Majesty and the Queen can't have children. According to previous cases in Daxia, the best person among the royal family can be selected as the crown prince. Although the King of Shu is old, you are still here, because you are undoubtedly the best person of this generation besides the emperor. So get married earlier and have children earlier, so that you don't have to fight for that position."
Xia Tingyu looked at Wu Qinhu.
Wu Qinhu looked down at the chessboard and said, "And that sentence means to force the King of Shu to do something, instead of appearing to be doing something like he is doing now but actually being indifferent."
Xia Tingyu smiled softly and turned to look at Lang Gou: "Learn from this. If you and Kun Ling were as smart as you, I would save a lot of trouble."
Lang Gou frowned, lowered his head and looked at the three things on the paper, pursed his lips and asked again: "The prince did it? Do you want to have that title?"
Xia Tingyu raised her hand to grab the sun. "Father can do it, but he won't do it this way. It should be the Zoroastrians. When the Mobei people send troops, it's best for them to send troops together, so that Daxia will have pressure. But the more allies the better, so it's naturally best to let father do something."
Lang Gou was stunned: "Did the Zoroastrians come to Shu and do this?"
Xia Tingyu was silent. He sat up and looked at Lang Gou: "Your master is in that no-man's land. Don't you plan to go back? Now all the swordsmen in the martial arts world are going there because of Yu Taohua. Even Xie Xi and Ximen Xuexian are going there. It looks like there will be a big battle."
When Wolfhook heard this, he immediately said, "Why go back? We finally escaped."
Lang Gou used to be a member of the Buertang, but his real origin was a disciple of the Sanguanmo Sect. He joined the Buertang and came to Shu.
However, under the subtle influence, he was able to leave Buertang and became Xia Tingyu's bodyguard.
In fact, this is the purpose of Wolf Hook, to leave that place where neither humans nor ghosts exist.
Xia Tingyu sneered, then said: "That's great, actually I want to escape too."
Lang Gou looked at Xia Tingyu and didn't understand what he said.
However, Xia Tingyu stood up and said, "But I can't escape. Let's go to the palace and walk slowly. It will take longer than the second brother to get there. Take the hairpin and tell him that the Queen Mother has ordered that Xia Tingyu's marriage is his and no one else has the right to influence it."
Lang Gou immediately clasped his fists. Although he was surprised that the Queen gave the princess this power, he was happy in his heart. With such a statement, no one could say anything unless they wanted to rebel.
Xia Tingyu did not watch Lang Gou leave, but walked straight to Wu Mao and pointed to a place on the upper right side of the chessboard.
Wu Mao understood and got down there immediately.
Wu Qinhu was not annoyed, but said: "If the King of Shu dares to use you to marry into the Zoroastrianism and collude with it, I will kill him and take you away. No one in this Shu land can stop me."
Xia Tingyu looked at Wu Qinhu and smiled charmingly: "Grandpa Wu is so good to me~~"
Wu Qinhu said nothing and continued to look down at the chessboard.
Xia Tingyu pointed to the chessboard and said, "If you play here, Uncle Wu will lose."
Wu Qinhu still didn't speak.
Xia Tingyu smiled and said, "It hasn't come to that yet, but with Grandpa Wu's words, I feel relieved. However, there are some things I want to do myself."
Wu Qinhu said "hmm".
At this time, Heihu yawned, stood up, patted away the butterfly on the tip of his nose, and walked towards Xia Tingyu.
But when he saw Xia Tingyu looking at him, Hei Hu immediately lay on the ground, even turned over to reveal his big belly, and looked at Xia Tingyu, his amber eyes full of desire.
