Chapter 329 Where the Arrows Come From
The Great Chu Emperor took out the arrow and handed it to everyone: "Take a look."
So the arrow was passed from one person to another, and finally fell into Lu Xingwan's hands.
"Your Majesty, are you suspicious of the Dali Kingdom?" Wei Cheng asked. The word "Li" was clearly printed on the arrow. Wei Cheng had fought with people from the Dali Kingdom before, so he naturally recognized their arrows. They were exactly the same as the ones in Your Majesty's hands.
"I don't think so," Ying Yi said, offering a different view. "From what I see, if they are really from Dali, why would they use their own arrows so brazenly? I'm afraid they are being framed."
"What does Qingyan think?" The Emperor of Great Chu suddenly wanted to hear Song Qingyan's opinion.
Song Qingyan then took the arrow back from Lu Xingwan and placed it in front of everyone: "In my opinion, this is a replica."
"This arrow is too new. It must have been made in a short period of time. And to be honest, it is too delicate to be a military product." Song Qingyan analyzed the arrow from a soldier's perspective.
"Your Majesty knows that the army uses a large number of arrows, so we only ensure its stability. But this arrow is too stable."
The Emperor of Great Chu naturally agreed with Song Qingyan's opinion and nodded.
Lu Xingwan's little brain was also turning along with everyone else.
[Mother is really amazing. No wonder she was able to become a deputy general under such a strict general like my grandfather! ]
[How many women with such intelligence and great kung fu skills can be found in the Great Chu Kingdom? ]
[It's so beautiful, father, you really got it right! ]
After listening to Lu Xingwan's mumbling, the Great Chu Emperor couldn't help but laugh, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Song Qingyan.
No wonder Qingya once told me that although my sister looks rough, she is actually the most caring person. It is indeed true.
"The people of Dali are not so stupid." The Great Chu Emperor finally took the arrow back and looked at it over and over again. "And only this arrow was shot in. I was in the car, how could he see it clearly?"
Wei Cheng continued, "So he didn't intend to shoot your Majesty, but just to deliver the arrow to your Majesty?"
The Great Chu Emperor nodded: "And their people died in similar circumstances."
"The first hundred or so people came for my life, but when they saw that the plan was exposed, they released this arrow."
Wei Cheng, however, had a different view: "But doing so is too stupid. It might just be a trick of the Dali Kingdom itself."
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." The Great Chu Emperor handed the arrow to Ying Yi and said, "Have someone deliver this arrow to the ruler of Dali. I want to hear his opinion."
Ying Yi left immediately.
Wei Cheng fell into deep thought. It seemed that His Majesty had really changed a lot.
If it were in the past, His Majesty would certainly not be so cheerful, but now, His Majesty is not only cheerful, he is even sitting here analyzing the current situation with a few people.
After a moment, Song Qingyan spoke again: "Your Majesty, do you want to ask Dingguo Hou if he has the manpower from Yuefeng Kingdom?"
The first person Song Qingyan suspected was Helian Hengxin.
After all, the Dali Kingdom is now on good terms with the Dachu Kingdom, and there is no conflict between the two countries. Looking at the ruler of the Dali Kingdom, although he is an incompetent, he is not an ambitious person.
Now he just wants to rely on the Great Chu Kingdom to allow the Dali Kingdom to develop smoothly.
Therefore, if she said that the Dali Kingdom wanted to take action against Her Majesty, she would not believe it.
But Helian Hengxin is different. Now he is attacked from all sides, with Helian Renxin eyeing his throne and military power.
In addition, the generals of the Great Chu State, whom he had frequently offended, were guarding the western camp.
I heard from the Crown Prince some time ago that Helian Hengxin even met with his brother and promised him the title of Duke, hoping that he would defect to Yuefeng Kingdom.
However, Song Qingyan had no idea how the matter was handled later.
Having said this, the Great Chu Emperor waved his hand and told Wei Cheng to leave, and he and Song Qingyan walked into the inner room before continuing, "This is most likely the work of Helian Hengxin."
"Some time ago, Helian Hengxin tried to entangle your brother and promised him the title of Duke. This shows that he is really a person without support in the army."
Song Qingyan was puzzled and asked, "Logically speaking, although Helian Renxin was the crown prince in the past, he is not really a military talent. He shouldn't have constrained Helian Hengxin to such an extent?"
At this point, Song Qingyan suddenly felt that she had said too much, and hurriedly stood up: "Your Majesty, it is I who said too much."
The Great Chu Emperor smiled and pulled her hand: "I would like to hear your opinion. You were in the army before, and you are a careful person. Maybe you have different opinions from others."
【Father, why don't you listen to my opinion? 】
[I think Helian Hengxin is not very smart. Although I don’t know why he is trying to get my uncle to help, but...]
[Anyway, he is quite stupid. My uncle is the Marquis of Dingguo, and his entire family is in the capital. Moreover, my mother is the most favored imperial concubine of the Emperor of Great Chu.]
[Most importantly, the prince is the prince! ]
[Uncle must be out of his mind to accept Helian Hengxin's olive branch! ]
[Wow, the Song family is extremely powerful. No wonder my father listened to Prime Minister Cui and uprooted the entire Song family.]
[Father, tell me, have you been jealous of the Song family for a long time? Cui Wen just gave you a knife! ]
The Emperor of Chu immediately felt that the scene was extremely embarrassing.
How could he know what he was thinking at that time, but to be honest, he was indeed jealous of Marquis Dingguo in the past, so maybe Wanwan was right!
Thinking of this, the Great Chu Emperor looked at Song Qingyan with a little more guilt in his eyes.
Fortunately, Qingyan couldn’t hear Wanwan’s thoughts.
"The Crown Prince has discussed this with me. Your elder brother rejected Helian Hengxin's invitation, but his words showed his embarrassment. He only said that the Crown Prince is now the Crown Prince, and the Song family is only willing to assist the Crown Prince."
"In this case, we just have to wait for Helian Hengxin's next move."
[So this is Helian Hengxin's back-up plan? He wants to kill his father right away?]
[Anyway, I feel something is strange, it feels like Helian Hengxin is a fool, but the fierce and powerful Helian Hengxin in the storybook should not be such a person! ]
The Emperor of Chu nodded quickly. Wanwan was right. Helian Hengxin seemed like a fool.
His every move was not that of an emperor.
"Your Majesty," Wei Cheng, who had just been sent outside, suddenly knocked on the door, "The county magistrate Jiang Pingyue is here, waiting for your Majesty's summons in the front yard!"
[Wow, is it the one who was demoted from the fifth-rank prefect to the seventh-rank county magistrate for no apparent reason? ]
