Chapter 416
Three months after Chu Zhi ascended the throne, the court faced a big crisis.News came from the border that Cangguo and Nanguo have been mobilizing troops frequently in recent times. Cangguo has already pressed a hundred thousand troops on the border, fearing that the two countries will join forces to send troops to Chu.
Da Chu has been experiencing constant disasters in the past few years. Chu Ming and Chu Zhi are fighting for the throne and there is internal friction. Coupled with this time of forcing the palace, it really can't afford the expense.
If those two countries join forces, Chu will be in danger.
The three countries have been stable for hundreds of years, and everyone's patience has been exhausted.In recent decades, they have been constantly testing each other and are extremely ambitious.If it weren't for the fear of being taken advantage of by others, there would have been chaos long ago.
"Your Majesty, the Cang Kingdom sent a princess to the Southern Kingdom for marriage last year, and the Southern Kingdom also sent a princess to marry the Cang Kingdom. The two countries have good relations. If the two countries negotiate and send troops to Chu at the same time, I am afraid they will not be able to withstand the attack of the two countries. "
The military strength of the three countries is almost the same, and what they fear most is the alliance between the two countries.
"Your Majesty, last year the Southern Kingdom sent a marriage princess, and I wanted to be sincere and make good friends with Da Chu. Now that the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom has found a son, why not take this opportunity to send someone to congratulate him and make good friends with the Southern Kingdom."
"I thought I could send a princess to marry the Southern Kingdom, but I couldn't give the Cang Kingdom a chance."
Compared with Cangguo, the courtiers were more willing to have good relations with Nanguo.
The Southern Kingdom and Da Chu have similar national conditions and culture. They were originally the same country. However, in the late period, the emperor was incompetent and the courtiers were corrupt. Finally, some people rebelled and fought for decades.
Both sides really couldn't afford the consumption, and were finally divided into Dachu and Nanguo.
The Cang Kingdom was originally a barbarian country that was eyeing the enemy, and their contribution to the chaos at that time was indispensable.
Later, a general took the opportunity to carve up several cities and unified dozens of nearby tribes to form the current Cang Kingdom.
The climate conditions of Cang Country are poor and materials are in short supply. If it were not for the lack of food and grass that year, it would have annexed the Southern Kingdom and Da Chu.Over the past few hundred years, Cangguo has been constantly ambitious and always intended to provoke wars.
Fortunately, Nanguo and Dachu made a tacit choice to jointly fight against Cangguo, so Cangguo did not dare to move, for fear that after attacking a country, the backyard would catch fire.
Unexpectedly, Cangguo secretly had good relations with Nanguo. In addition, the late emperor and the late queen mother were confused and blamed Nanguo for their stupid things, which made the relationship between the two countries even more tense.
Chu Zhi frowned, it was indeed a crisis for Da Chu, and it would be a good idea to go to the southern country to make peace.
It's just that his two imperial sisters and three imperial sisters have already gotten married, and there are no other princesses of the right age to marry.
The case of Chu Ming forcing the palace to rebel involved many people, and Chu Xinya was the only princess of the right age left in the clan.It's not easy to offend King Annan. If he doesn't want to, he can't force him.
Only a suitable candidate can be selected from the daughters of ministers in the court, named princess, and befriended by the Southern Kingdom.
Someone in the court also proposed this idea, and there was endless debate over the candidate.
It was not until this time that someone proposed to let Yun Shang and Qin Nan Guo stop the quarrel among the courtiers.
The hall suddenly became quiet. They looked at each other and after careful consideration, they all felt that this candidate was a good choice.
They had already figured it out, and the emperor insisted that Yun Shang enter the palace as his queen.But Yun Shang's identity is embarrassing. No matter she is from the Yun family or the Xie family, she cannot enter the palace. If the emperor insists, there will be problems.
If she can be pro-Nanguo, she will not only have good relations with Nanguo, but also solve the crisis in her own country, it will really kill two birds with one stone.
"My minister agrees."
"My minister agrees."
This was the first time since Chu Zhi ascended the throne that courtiers agreed to the same thing.
Chu Zhi was so angry that he left the court.Returning to the harem, I unknowingly walked towards the side hall where Yun Shang was, only to find that no one was there.
"What about people?"
The young chamberlain trembled, "Reporting to the Emperor, the Queen Mother has sent Miss Yun out of the palace."
Chu Zhi also thought about it. He knew what his mother meant, but he just couldn't accept it.
Especially when those in the court proposed that Yun Shang get married, he was even more unwilling to think about the possibility of her and Qin Nan Guo marrying Xie Qing'an.
Chu Zhi even felt that maybe it was Xie Qingan and Zhongyong Houfu who were responsible.
The court debated this for another two days, and received another urgent call from [-] miles. Cangguo had already begun to take the initiative to provoke, and war was about to break out.
At this time, Yun Shang offered to make peace with the Southern Kingdom and atone for his father's sins.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty originally wanted Yunshang to get married, but she took the initiative herself and Chu Zhi couldn't stop her.
In the end, the Queen Mother recognized Yun Shang as her righteous daughter, granted Yun Shang the title of Princess Chang'an, and sent her as an envoy to the Southern Kingdom to make peace with her.News also came from the Southern Kingdom that they were willing to forge a good relationship with Dachu. The next step was to set a date to send an envoy to the Southern Kingdom.
"Let's see what you haven't brought with you? Forget it, I'll give you whatever you need." Xie Shao has been very busy these days. His daughter will leave a few days after coming back. There is also a granddaughter who married to the South. I don’t know if I will have the chance to see you again in this life.
He could only keep himself busy to suppress the pain of separation.
Xie Qingping returned to the Hou Mansion a few days ago. Since Xie Qingping went to guard the border when he was a boy, father and son have not seen each other for nearly 30 years.
The father and son talked all night, and then they learned about Xie Qingping's whereabouts over the years and his plans for the future.
The capital was about to be in chaos, and what the son was about to do was also very dangerous, so there was no other way. He had to let his daughter take the child to Rongyang County, and then let Yunshang and Qin Nanguo.If there is any problem in the capital, Chu Zhi will not be given the chance to manipulate them.
At that time, Xie Miaohui can directly take her children to find Yun Shang in Nanguo, and Chu Zhi will not be able to reach Nanguo.
Xie Shao decided to stay in the capital. He was old and had already seen through life and death.
Furthermore, I finally met my son, and I hope that the father and son can spend a longer time together for the rest of their lives.
Yun Shang looked at the things her grandfather had sorted out, and she was afraid that they wouldn't fit in more than a dozen carriages.Yun Shang is also very busy during this time. She is going to the Southern Kingdom and needs to deal with the forces on Da Chu's side.
Qingluo and the others will definitely go to the Southern Kingdom with her, it depends on what Tang Kuan and the others think.
Tang Fan had helped Yun Shang a lot, and his kindness had been repaid long ago. Yun Shang let her go free so that she could stay with her brother and find a good family to marry in the future.
However, Tang Fan refused. She had already sworn that she would be Yunshang's for the rest of her life, so she naturally wanted to follow her to the South.
Seeing her persistence, Yun Shang did not persuade her any more, and the two of them discussed how to develop in the southern country in the future.
There are also those orphans raised in the past two years who are in good condition and taken away together.
In addition to Tang Kuan, there was another person who came to Yun Shang and planned to go to the South with Yun Shang, that is Cheng Yingyao.
On the day Chu Ming forced the palace, Yun Shang helped Cheng Yingyao fake her death and escape.There was so much chaos in the palace that day, and she was inconspicuous, so it was easy for her to leave the palace.Her identity is special, and if she stays in Dachu, she will die if she is found out.
