Chapter nine hundred and sixty first temptation
Bai Jin looked at King Huai for a long time, finally nodded and said, "Okay."
"Don't play any tricks." King Huai looked at her and said, "Otherwise, all our agreements will be invalid."
Bai Jin looked at the figure in front of him and had a vague illusion, as if she had never really controlled him over the years.
What they had was just that she helped him stabilize his position in the court step by step with the help of Tianranju's power, and his promise to him was still just an empty promise.
Although there are reasons why they were not prepared, King Huai still gave her an uncontrollable feeling.
It would be a good thing for them to completely control Princess Huai in their hands on the condition of relieving Princess Huai's poison.
She took out a milky white porcelain bottle from her arms and placed it on the table, saying, "This medicine can be taken for three days in a row, and the princess's poison can be cured."
After saying that, she poured out a brown pill from another porcelain bottle and said, "Please take this poisonous pill."
King Huai took the poison pill from her hand and swallowed it without hesitation.
Bai Jin looked at him taking the pill and said, "You always said that the time has not arrived before. When will the time be called?"
King Huai sighed and said, "It's now..."
Bai Jin showed joy on her face, but she did not notice the sarcasm contained in the eyes of King Huai looking at her.
...
Since King Kang Duan failed to rebellion, he was imprisoned in the palace and was executed by the Tang family, there has been no major turmoil in the court.
However, Chen Guo’s luck seemed not good. He had just calmed down his internal troubles, but external troubles followed one after another.
The enemy's country unified the Western Regions and its strength increased greatly. The most reliable ally became the enemy's country's in-laws in a blink of an eye. Tang Ning felt that Emperor Chen was not in a good mood during this period, so he entered the palace the second day after returning to Beijing, so as not to take advantage of the situation and spread his resentment to himself...
Inside the bedroom, Emperor Chen leaned against the head of the bed, looked at Tang Ning coldly, and said, "You still know how to come back..."
Tang Ning stood up with his hands, his face turned red and his heart was beating, and said, "I am worried about Your Majesty's body, so I returned to Beijing early..."
Emperor Chen waved his hand and asked, "Where have you been going over the past year? Even I can't find your trace."
Tang Ning said honestly: "Go back to Your Majesty, I have gone to Guizhou."
"Guizhou?" Emperor Chen frowned and asked, "What are you doing in Guizhou?"
Tang Ning said: "Your Majesty doesn't know. Two years ago, I met a Taoist priest from Youfang. The Taoist priest said that my destiny is in conflict with the capital. If you want to spread your branches and leaves, you need to go to the southwest to find opportunities. I happened to have been to Guizhou once. Seeing that the place is beautiful and the scenery is pleasant, I took my wife to live in Guizhou for a while..."
"Have you lived there for a while?" Chen Huang snorted coldly, "You have been living there for almost two years. Have you found that opportunity?"
Tang Ning smiled and said, "That Taoist is really a god. I will not hide it from Your Majesty. I have a pair of children now..."
When Emperor Chen heard this, his expression was stunned and asked, "Do you have a child?"
Tang Ning nodded and said, "I have been troubled by this matter in the past few years, and now I have finally made my wish."
There are three types of unfilial piety, and having no descendants is the greatest. It is a big deal to spread the branches and inherit the family line. Emperor Chen cannot blame him too much for this matter.
However, as long as he thought that Xiaowan unified the Western Regions in the past two years and flirted with Chu and grasslands, the border between Chen State was dangerous step by step. Because of this, he could not swallow his food and sleep. However, as the prime minister of a country, Tang Ning actually hid in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to have children with his wife, and a nameless fire surged in his heart.
He looked at Tang Ning and asked angrily: "Have you heard about the Western Regions?"
Tang Ning nodded and said, "I have heard that on the way back to Beijing that Xiaowan annexed Dayue Wusun and unified the Western Regions... The Lord of Xiaowan is really amazing."
Emperor Chen coughed and looked at him dissatisfiedly, as if he was displeased with praising the enemy.
Although he also thought this was true, it would be a bit more ambitious and destroy his own prestige.
"Not only that." He looked at Tang Ning, his face became solemn, and he said, "Xiaowan not only unified the Western Regions, but also successfully married Chu. Princess Changning of Chu is about to marry the Lord of Xiaowan. In this way, my Chen State has not only lost a reliable ally, but also a powerful enemy. What do you think I should do and what should the court do?"
Tang Ning thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty is worried that Xiaowan and Chu will join forces to deal with our Chen State?"
Emperor Chen looked very serious and said, "Maybe there is a grassland to add. This time the disaster of the Black Barbarians, the Western Regions also sent troops to reinforce Su Shen. I don't know what the purpose is..."
Tang Ning said: "I think your Majesty is a little over-concerned."
Emperor Chen looked at him and said, "Tell me what you think."
Tang Ning pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty is worried that Xiaowan and Chu will join forces to deal with Chen State. But the fact is that since Xiaowan unified the Western Regions, he has been seeking development wholeheartedly and has treated merchants from various countries very friendly. He has never provoked friction with Chen State again. This may show that Xiaowan also intends to live in peace with us."
Emperor Chen looked at him and said, "Don't forget that the war between Chen State and Xiaowan was originally initiated by Xiaowan."
Tang Ning said: "But I heard that Xiaowan has changed his lord. Perhaps this new lord is a good monarch who longs for peace. Otherwise, why did they not provoke wars after their strength became stronger?"
"What you said is not impossible." Chen Huang thought for a while and said, "But it is only possible. We still need to be fully prepared."
Tang Ning looked at Emperor Chen and said, "I think that the Lord of Xiaowan is asking for marriage to Chu, perhaps because of the intention of seeking peace through marriage. Maybe they will come to our State of Chen in a while..."
Speaking of this, a hint of suspicion appeared on Emperor Chen's face and asked: "When I, Chen State, asked, "When I was proposing to marry a princess, the State of Chu refused us on the pretext of not marrying the princess. How could he suddenly agree to the Western Regions this time?"
Tang Ning lowered his head and said, "I heard that the king of Xiaowan not only has the talent of governing the country with great strength, but also looks elegant and elegant. He is a talented man among the outstanding people. Perhaps Chu State felt that such a person was worthy of their princess, so he simply agreed..."
Emperor Chen looked at him and said dissatisfiedly: "Which side are you on?"
Tang Ning immediately looked upright and asked, "Your Majesty, if I were saying, if Xiaowan came to my State of Chen to propose marriage, what would Your Majesty do?"
Emperor Chen glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, since I have agreed to your affairs with Man'er, I will not go back on my word. Even if I am proposing to marry in the Western Regions, I will not agree to them..."
Tangning: “…”
Emperor Chen thought for a while and said, "But you are right. If the Western Regions really want to seek peace, it would be a win-win situation. I can't refuse it, but apart from Man'er, there is no suitable princess around me..."
He thought for a while and suddenly said, "By the way, Anyang hasn't married yet? I might as well sign her as a princess now, just in case..."
Tang Ning: "(0o.)..."
