After the family dinner at noon, Yun Li hurriedly found Emperor Wen.
Yun Li also brought a piece of clothing with blood writing on it.
This is a blood letter written by Qinpu himself.
The content of the blood letter was very simple. Suzan used Basang Tsering to brutally kill the Holy King Sangjie of Xiqu, and then executed Basang Tsering for the crime of regicide.
Chinpu is just Suzan's puppet.
Qinpu has now been sidelined by Suzan.
But Qinpu did not want to be Suzan's puppet, so he begged Dagan to send troops to help him kill Suzan and regain the kingship.
Chinpu also promised that if he succeeded in regaining the throne, he would continue to pay tribute to Dagan and would cede the territories of the Hungu and Miga tribes to Dagan.
"Danqu gave this to you?"
Emperor Wen raised his eyes and asked Yun Li.
...
...
"yes!"
Yun Li replied: "Qinpu is surrounded by Suzan's people now. Danqu doesn't want to see the Xiqu Kingdom fall into Suzan's hands, so he took the risk to deliver this blood-stained shirt to Qinpu!"
"Including the current Xiqu delegation, almost all of them are Su Zan's people!"
"If it weren't for the foresight of father, who asked me to invite Danqu to the banquet in the name of a family dinner, Danqu would not be able to escape the sight of those people and hand over this bloody shirt to me."
As Yun Li spoke, he cast an admiring look towards Emperor Wen.
Emperor Wen didn't care about Yun Li's flattery and asked with a smile: "Have you agreed?"
"How dare I make such a big decision?" Yun Li replied, "I just told him that our dynasty is also in trouble and we have to be on guard against Sixth Brother. I plan to discuss this with Father first."
“Yeah, not bad!”
Emperor Wen looked at Yun Li approvingly, hesitated for a moment, and then ordered Yun Li: "Immediately summon Xu Shifu and the other four to discuss the matter!"
"yes!"
Yun Li accepted the order and immediately ordered people to summon four regent ministers.
Soon, the four of them came to Emperor Wen's bedroom and began to care about his health.
"I'm fine."
Emperor Wen waved his hand gently, "I was just a little excited, which caused me to feel a little unwell! You guys take a look at the contents of this bloody shirt first, and then discuss what the court should do!"
The four of them took orders and immediately gathered together to look at the contents on the blood-stained shirt.
When they saw the contents on the blood-stained shirt, their pupils suddenly shrank.
Suzan seizes power!
Chinpu has become a puppet!
With powerful officials in power, Xiqu will be in chaos!
After a long while, Tang Shu raised his head, frowned and said, "This may not be a good thing for the court!"
"really!"
Xu Shifu nodded in agreement. "Once Xiqu falls into civil strife, it is likely that it will no longer be able to contain the Sixth Prince."
"not necessarily!"
Xiao Wanchou shook his head. "I believe everyone knows the Sixth Prince's temper! Xiqu is in turmoil, and he might take advantage of the situation! If he goes to war with Xiqu and the Li Dynasty at the same time, it might be a good thing for the court!"
Gu Zheng said calmly: "It is too early to judge whether this is a good or bad thing! The question now is whether the imperial court will send troops to help Qinpu?"
"Sending troops is impossible!"
Xiao Wanchou rejected it immediately, "Whether it's a civil strife in Xiqu or His Highness the Sixth Prince's use of troops against Xiqu, the court should just sit back and watch the fight. There's no need to send troops directly!"
Sending troops sounds easy enough.
Don’t we need food and fodder to send troops?
Isn't it necessary to risk the lives of soldiers when sending troops?
Besides, the authenticity of this blood-stained shirt has yet to be confirmed, so how can we just send troops?
The person who poses the greatest threat to the imperial court now is Yun Zheng of Shuobei.
If the imperial court were to get bogged down in the war in Xiqu, Yun Zheng would probably wake up laughing in his dreams!
"Yes, sending troops is definitely impossible!"
Xu Shifu agreed: "The court is now accumulating strength and cannot send troops rashly!"
"really."
Tang Shu also agreed.
Of the four regents, three firmly disagreed with sending troops.
The possibility of sending troops is basically gone.
Yun Li glanced at Emperor Wen from the corner of his eye. Seeing that Emperor Wen looked calm, he spoke up, "I also think it is impossible to send troops! However, I think that if it is confirmed that the words written on the blood-stained shirt are true, the court should give Qin Pu some help. After all, the lips and teeth are cold!"
"That's right." Emperor Wen nodded slightly and asked Yun Li, "How do you think the court should help Qinpu?"
Yun Li was about to answer Emperor Wen's question, but Tang Shu secretly gave him a look.
Yun Li was slightly stunned, and glanced at Xu Shifu, only to see that Xu Shifu was also winking at him.
After a brief thought, Yun Li frowned and replied, "I haven't figured out how to help you yet. I think the most urgent thing is to confirm whether the words on the blood-stained shirt are real!"
After hearing Yun Li's words, Xu Shifu and Tang Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun Li's answer was clever and he avoided saying the wrong thing.
They were afraid that Yun Li would get carried away and come up with some bad idea.
Such a big thing cannot be decided in a short period of time.
Emperor Wen thought for a moment, then asked Yun Li: "Did Danqu tell you anything else?"
Yun Li shook his head: "Dan Qu has been asking me to send troops to help and analyzing the interests with me, but he didn't say much else."
Emperor Wen ordered: "Then find an opportunity to talk to Danqu alone and try to learn more about the situation! Also, send someone to ask the other members of the Xiqu delegation indirectly and try to get some information from them."
"yes."
Yun Li obeyed the order.
Emperor Wen hesitated for a moment, then said, "I have some personal ideas, you can discuss them later."
“Whether the power of Xiqu is in the hands of Suzan or Qinpu does not seem to have much impact on the court.”
"If Su Zan, this powerful official, can suppress the various tribes in Xiqu and continue to contain Lao Liu, it will not be a bad thing for the court."
"As for ceding land and the like, I'm afraid it doesn't mean that much."
"Xiqu ceded Hungu and Mijia to us, but now it seems that we are helping Xiqu to guard the border."
Listening to Emperor Wen's words, the five of them couldn't help but think.
That’s true!
Hun Gu is one of the two main passages for Yun Zheng to advance into Xiqu.
Instead of them helping Xiqu guard the national border, it would be better for Xiqu to help them guard the border.
They would be happy if Xiqu and Yunzheng fought to the death.
"Alright, I'm tired too, go discuss this with the Crown Prince!"
Emperor Wen waved his hand gently and instructed Yun Li, "The Xiqu delegation will not leave for a while, don't worry! Now Xiqu needs us, so it's okay to delay them for a while!"
Yun Li: "I understand! I will not disturb you from resting now. I will take my leave now!"
"I will take my leave!"
Xu Shifu and four others also took their leave.
After the four people left, Emperor Wen fell into silent contemplation again.
Be a vassal and pay tribute!
What is going on in Xiqu?
Emperor Wen thought for a while and then called Mu Shun to write for him.
After writing a letter, Emperor Wen ordered Mu Shun: "Send someone to deliver this letter to Shuobei as quickly as possible!"
Since they don’t understand the situation, let’s ask Lao Liu!
He has been dealing with Xiqu for many years, so he may see things more clearly...
