Chapter 440: Yue Chuhe was so angry that he was about to vomit blood!
"Killing people to silence them, leaving no evidence, this is your explanation to this prince!" Yue Chuhe started yelling again.
"Your Great Zhou's guards are lax and you don't care about the lives of us envoys at all."
"The one that got into trouble today was the Yue Kingdom, and the next one will be the Luo Kingdom, the Gao Kingdom, the Liang Kingdom, and the Wei Kingdom."
Shen Lanxi and Zhou Ruyuan's faces turned dark at the same time.
"Third Prince Yue is a bit alarmist." Zhou Ruyuan said coldly.
Shen Lanxi: "I have reason to suspect that the Third Prince of Yue is using this incident to deliberately sow discord between the Great Zhou and other countries."
Yue Chuhe shouted loudly: "Nonsense, if it is really this prince, what is the purpose? Is it worth it for this prince to risk offending the Great Zhou to do this?"
Shen Lanxi: "Obviously, the purpose is very clear. The Third Prince Yue has repeatedly used food and grass to control our Great Zhou. Seeing that we would not compromise, he set up such a vicious plan."
Regardless of whether Yue Chuhe did it or not, dragging him into the water now is the best option.
The officials from the Ministry of Rites also reacted and echoed the sentiment.
"We also heard that the Third Prince of Yue repeatedly threatened us with food and fodder, but our Great Zhou did not compromise once."
"How can we, a great country like the Great Zhou, be coerced like this?"
"Third Prince Yue, his heart is worthy of death!"
Yue Chuhe didn't expect to be bitten back, and his face turned pale with anger.
"It's you. It's you. Don't try to quibble."
The officials of the Ministry of Rites are no pushovers. In terms of eloquence, they are no worse than those in the Procuratorate.
"Why is Third Prince Yue so angry?"
"The embarrassment at the entrance of the post station was not caused by our Great Zhou. The rejection of the marriage in the palace was also consensual. These two things made the Third Prince of Yue lose face, which was really not what we wanted."
It's all Yue Chuhe's own fault.
"The Third Prince of Yue has anger, resentment, and hatred in his heart. We can all understand that. He is young and full of energy. We all understand!"
Yue Chuhe was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"Stop talking nonsense. This prince didn't do it. Stop throwing dirty water on me."
The officials of the Ministry of Rites said calmly and generously: "We understand, we all understand!"
Yue Chuhe was so angry that he yelled, "You guys don't understand shit. You officials from the Great Zhou are just trying to smooth things over. If you want to get away with this, forget it!"
"I will go to the palace to see your Great Zhou Emperor now. All of you should wait for me!"
Unable to win the debate or the argument, Yue Chuhe got so angry that he ran away and headed straight for the palace.
Zhou Ruyuan said to Shen Lanxi: "I will stay to appease the envoy, you follow."
Shen Lanxi raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "Okay!"
Now is not the time for the two to compete. If one of them is not resolved well, the Great Zhou will lose face in front of envoys from various countries, and then be wiped out, with endless troubles!
…
Although the post station was quickly sealed off after the incident, many people still saw it. In just a few breaths, the news spread quietly.
Several old farmers who came to the city to sell vegetables sold the vegetables in their baskets, left the city in an orderly manner, and headed in different directions.
"Your Majesty, our Yue Kingdom's envoys encountered an accident in the inn of Da Zhou. You, Da Zhou, must give us a satisfactory explanation, otherwise our Yue Kingdom will no longer supply food and fodder next year!" Yue Chuhe said confidently.
Being threatened by the Yue Kingdom, Emperor Renxiao was annoyed. Although his face was not good, he did not get angry and still looked calm.
"Don't worry, let alone the Kingdom of Yue, even if it is other envoys, even if they fall in our Great Zhou, we will be responsible to the end!" There was a gloomy flash in Emperor Renxiao's eyes.
Shen Lanxi: "Your Majesty, the clues have been cut off, and the whole family of the person who poisoned was killed. I think the person behind this is deliberately trying to destroy the friendly relationship between our dynasty and the Yue Kingdom."
When Yue Chuhe heard Shen Lanxi say this, he swallowed the words "It was you who poisoned me".
Emperor Renxiao nodded: "That makes sense. If the thieves want to destroy, not only will they destroy the relationship between Yue Kingdom and our Great Zhou, but we should also pay attention to the safety of other envoys!"
Shen Lanxi: "Prince Zhennan is already closely guarding the post station, it's absolutely foolproof!"
Although the clues are broken, Yue Chuhe also needs to give an explanation.
Emperor Renxiao was in a great headache. Now he had to figure out where to find a murderer for Yue Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, the two rebellious kings have been slow to arrive. I suspect there is something fishy going on!" Shen Lanxi suddenly said.
Emperor Renxiao's eyes lit up. Lan Xi's words were like giving him a pillow when he was sleepy!
"Prince Yue San, within ten days, I will find the murderer who poisoned you."
Yue Chuhe: "What if you can't find it?"
The Great Zhou Emperor looked like he was looking for a scapegoat. Although Yue Chuhe was unhappy, he dared to act presumptuously with other officials in the Great Zhou territory, but he did not dare to act presumptuously with Emperor Renxiao.
"Okay, this prince will wait for good news at the post station!"
As soon as Yue Chuhe was pacified and sent back to the post station, Emperor Renxiao summoned Shen Lanxi to his side.
"Are you saying that it was the two traitors who did this?"
Shen Lanxi: "I only ordered people to seal off the post station, not the city gate. Instead, I ordered people to watch the city gate, and indeed, I found a few suspicious people."
Emperor Renxiao nodded and asked, "Are they heading in the direction of the two traitors?"
"Your Majesty is wise, it is them. I guess they have not shown up yet because they want to create chaos and sow discord between our Great Zhou and the envoys of other countries."
Emperor Renxiao was already burning with anger; it was indeed those two traitors.
"If those two traitors are not eliminated, the hatred in my heart will not be relieved." There is still talk of peace. Without peace talks, those who come this time will definitely be sent away without returning.
"Your Majesty, please be patient. I guess the reason they attacked the Yue Kingdom is to take the opportunity to cut off the food supplies of our Great Zhou army!"
Emperor Renxiao had already thought of this, and he also thought of something else.
"They dared to attack the food supplies and are now pretending to negotiate. They want to paralyze us and wait for an opportunity to use military force!" Shen Lanxi said with certainty.
This point was recognized by Emperor Renxiao.
"They deserve to die!"
He had tolerated them living until now because of their blood relationship, but he had never expected them to be so ungrateful.
"Your Majesty, according to my speculation, they will enter the capital soon!" Shen Lanxi said.
Emperor Renxiao glanced behind him and said, "Lanxi, go back first. I will think of a solution!"
"yes!"
After Shen Lanxi left, Emperor Renxiao immediately called Song Daoxi to his side.
Song Daoxi said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have heard what you said just now. I am not afraid of the tiger's ferocity, but I am afraid of the tiger returning to the mountains and forests!"
Emperor Renxiao was in deep thought.
"It's better to keep them under our noses than to let them plot outside!" Song Daoxi explained.
Emperor Renxiao nodded, saying that he was indeed the descendant of Guiguzi and had unique insights.
"Your Majesty, I think the first thing we need to deal with right now is not the two traitors, but the repeated threats from the Moon Nation."
Emperor Renxiao followed Song Daoxi's words and asked, "Are you talking about food and grass?"
Song Daoxi nodded: "Your Majesty, why not send spies to the Yue Kingdom to find out whether the Yue Kingdom has already planned to use grain to threaten the Great Zhou, or whether they want to raise the price but can't find an excuse."
Emperor Renxiao's face turned dark, as if he had suddenly realized something, and he finally understood why Yue Chuhe was so abnormal.
A prince of a small country was so unscrupulous on the land of the Great Zhou, it was obvious that he wanted to cause trouble.
"Wang Bao, send spies to the Moon Kingdom immediately."
"yes!"
