The Protagonist’s Halo

Chapter 82 The spy princess

The palace banquet for the mission to receive the dust from the wind did not go smoothly in the end.

Suddenly news came from the harem that someone had poisoned Princess Yongsi.

When the court jade was broken, the emperor and the princess were furious, and they suspected that the two missions of Nanliang and Daxing had joined forces. The evidence was conclusive. Both the missions of Nanliang and Daxing were taken down. This time they were really thrown into the great mission. prison.

The news spread to Nanliang and Daxing respectively. Emperor Nanliang was so angry that he would send troops to rescue the Six Princes. He was dissuaded by the courtiers and claimed to discuss with Beiyin after finding out the truth. He should not miss hundreds of thousands of soldiers for the sake of the Six Princes. . Emperor Nanliang was anxious and fainted in the hall.

Daxing’s attitude here is very ambiguous, and even sent a document stating that the court did not know about this matter, and there was no intention to destroy the marriage between the two countries. Perhaps someone made a mistake and took advantage of the loopholes. This zhezi almost regarded the Daxing delegation as abandoned sons.

Hundred officials also tried to persuade them, but the emperor disagreed. Since the marriage of Nanliang and Beiyin is no longer possible, that is to say, the goal has been achieved, it is nothing to sacrifice some people.

The emperor made up his mind and asked Yan Shu, Situ Huairuo and others to carry the black pot. Anyway, they were locked in a jail and it was impossible to save them. This responsibility was easy to shirk, and it could calm Bei Yin’s anger. As for sending troops to fight, why bother with things that can be handled simply.

People from the Royal Palace of Xian and the Situ family wanted to save them, so they had to send their own people to Bei Yin to save them.

North Yin Yongdu,

Because Princess Yongsi was almost poisoned and murdered by gangsters, the capital was arrested by many Nanliang and Daxing spies in just a few days. It was learned that both countries had unpredictable and uneasy intentions, and they murdered Princess Yongsi, who was at the age of Fanghua. The common people were filled with indignation and righteous indignation. In the streets and alleys of the teahouses and pubs, the voices of abuse of the two countries could be heard everywhere.

“Your Majesty and the princess should put all those in the mission to death.”

There is a heavily guarded dungeon on the west side of the imperial city. The members of the two missions are separated from each other, and here is the sixth prince of Nanliang Yang Lingcheng.

His treatment was the same as other prisoners, except that he had not yet been sentenced, but just looking at the blood-stained instruments of torture, the six princes shook.

It’s not as good as being under house arrest in the dormitory before, at least eating well and living well.

The sixth prince sighed.

When they saw Princess Hualing, the Sixth Prince defended himself sincerely, “I have absolutely no intention of murdering Princess Yongsi.”

Xiao Han chuckled softly, “But the evidence is solid, and even the spies from Nan Liang and Daxing have already confessed.”

Daxing had already destroyed Bei Yin and Nan Liang to form an alliance by marriage, and the process could be unscrupulous. The Daxing mission of Situ Huairuo and others visited Bei Yin, but they also had hidden hands in Yongdu. The way is destroyed, Princess Yongsi is dead, naturally the marriage fails, and the relationship between the two countries will be completely the same.

At that time, Xiao Han came to the house under house arrest to isolate them from passing news to the outside world. However, the dark line of Daxing hiding in Yongdu could not help but appear and act on his own, and even hooked up with people from Nanliang.

The Sixth Prince also knew that he had been cheated by his own people, and said helplessly, “I really don’t know about this, and I don’t have the ability to direct Nanliang’s spy.”

He seems to be a glorious favorite in Nanliang, but because of his youth or various other reasons, he has no power in his hands. Nan Liang secretly spied him and knew it, but he had nothing to do with him.

Xiao Han looked at him again with a smile, “I heard that your father was furious about your imprisonment, and threatened to send troops to fight with my Bei Yin to the end.”

The sixth prince laughed at himself, “With the princess’s cleverness, I can’t fail to see that my father is acting, and even the entire Nanliang Chaotang is acting. No one sincerely expects me to return.”

“Then why is it rumored that you are the most preferred heir to Emperor Nanliang, the next emperor.”

Xiao Han was also quite curious, and the Emperor Nanliang even used this promise to marry Bei Yin.

“If my father really thought that way, I wouldn’t be in Beiyin prison now. My mother and concubine were indeed loved and died for the father’s rescue when she was alive, but the emperor’s disposition is so cold, and I will It’s just a target set up.”

When it comes to this, the six princes don’t mind telling the situation of the Nanliang imperial family bluntly, even if it’s some ugly things, “Most of the concubines in the Queen’s palace of my father came from the Nanliang Gaomen family, these… It was to consolidate his power and win over the courtiers, but he was not really willing to share the power with these people, nor to choose those princes whose mother clan was strong and supported by ministers, so he had to find a target to show his honor and favor. My mother and concubine died young, and the foreigners were faintly withered, so they couldn’t be more suitable candidates.”

In the final analysis, I just can’t let go of the power in my hands. His father, Huang, doesn’t care about his own children and the future national destiny of Nanliang, he only loves himself.

Xiao Han had this kind of suspicion before, but because the Nanliang emperor was old and weak, it seemed that he could not hold on for a few years. It stands to reason that he should carefully select the next generation of emperors, so the suspicion is only suspicion, but after listening to the words of the six princes , But solved a lot of doubts.

Xiao Han smiled at him and said, “Then you know that someone in Nanliang is willing to buy your life, and even pay the price of at least cede the five cities and negotiate with Bei Yin.”

Yang Lingcheng, the sixth prince, is in it. It’s not easy to see through it, and it’s even harder for others to see. It’s full of power and vanity. How many people can see through it, even if it’s a target, it’s not easy to see the old emperor for a few years. Live, who wouldn’t want to kick off the obstacles in front of him.

“Probably which of my elder brothers or younger brothers?”

But if you can catch the line of the princess of the Northern Yin Supervisory Kingdom, and dare to release the arrogance of ceding the Five Cities, there are only those few in terms of ability and power background.

Just thinking about it for a moment, the Sixth Prince couldn’t help but laugh at himself. Now he can’t even save his life. Is it so important to know who bought his life?

Sixth prince Yang Lingcheng smiled bitterly, and said solemnly, “So, it seems that I must die. Please also ask the princess to give me a decent amount.”

Those torture instruments that look terrifying and infiltrate people don’t need it.

Xiao Han stared at him with a smile on his lips, “Actually, you also have another choice. They want to make a deal with me, and I don’t have to promise them.”

“The five cities of Nanliang are too few, and my palace still looks down upon them.”

Xiao Han smiled with his hand in his hand, making no secret of her ambition, “This palace wants the entire Nanliang.”

The six princes shook, their pupils shrank slightly, and instantly guessed Princess Hualing’s intentions, “You want to help me seize the throne, so you can intervene in Nanliang.”

Xiao Han smiled slightly, “The Sixth Prince is a smart man, how about I don’t know what to expect?”

The Sixth Prince was stunned again, and then, as if frustrated, sat slumped on the ground, and Xiao Han just sat quietly and waited for him to think about his own destiny.

He remained silent and smiled for a long time, “Heaven is ruthless. Although my father and brothers and sisters have no kindness to me, I have no ambitions, weak and incompetent, greedy for life and fear of death, but my last name is Yang in this life. This kind of betrayal of Nanliang , I really can’t do anything about betraying my ancestor’s inheritance.”

The Sixth Prince looked up to the sky and sighed, “The princess should kill me.”

I just don’t know if it failed to be like Princess Hua Ling’s intention, this time it was frustrated or exposing the corpse to the wilderness.

Xiao Han raised his eyebrows, “You have backbone.”

“It’s nothing more than an inactive cartilage.” The sixth prince closed his eyes and waited for the butcher knife to fall.

He didn’t think about putting up with the humiliation first, and was fooled into returning to Nanliang. With Princess Hualing’s scheming, even if he let him go back, he would be left with a lethal handle to hold him back. He thought he didn’t have that ingenuity and was able to Fighting with such a person would still be a tool for capturing Nanliang, it would be better to die here.

Xiao Han was silent for a while, “I won’t kill you, I want you to live.”

The six princes were puzzled, but saw that Princess Hua Ling had already rolled her sleeves and turned and left the cell.

Xiao Han ordered the people who watched him day and night, “Keep his life.”

In fact, the six princes of Nanliang did not die, and they all had the value of use. The imperial concubine and the third prince on the Nanliang side secretly contacted the Beiyin Dark Line, claiming that they were willing to pay a great price, as long as the sixth prince Yang Lingcheng died, and also promised to do their best to mediate and prevent Nanliang from fighting Beiyin.

But promise this thing, especially among countries, it is best not to believe too much, the most important thing is to take the initiative in your own hands.

The Sixth Prince is Xiao Han’s bargaining chip.

Xiao Han, who had received more information from the Sixth Prince, became more sure of what she was going to do. To put it simply, keeping the Sixth Prince in Beiyin is the quality.

On the one hand, she can go back without letting the Six Princes go back and hang those who want to put him to death in Nanliang, just to prevent the Six Princes from returning to Nanliang, they will be willing to pay the price and stay with Xiao Han. Interest connection.

On the other hand, since the Nanliang Emperor took him as a target, he held on to his power and did not want to place the crown prince as soon as possible, he would try his best to show that he cared very much about the hostage of the six princes. It’s not easy anymore. On the bright side, Bei Yin is also more able to grasp the initiative.

If Nanliang has the crown prince, the situation will be unstable.

Xiao Han now hopes that Emperor Nanliang can live for a few more years, so that Nanliang will be confused for a little more time. Of course, the six princes will also have the value of being alive.

Recently, there has been a loud voice from the system that IQ has risen significantly: “Then what if the Sixth Prince guesses your intention and is willing to sacrifice yourself?”

Xiao Han smiled, “He won’t.”

It is one thing not to be treasonous, but another thing to cherish one’s life.

Yang Lingcheng did have a little more bottom line than many people, but he was just unwilling to betray Nan Liang, asking him to sacrifice his life for Nan Liang, maybe even not much value, influence can not change anything, and no one will remember his achievements. He is again the prince who is insolent and greedy for life and fear of death.

Regardless of life or death, he is just a **** in the game of great powers. This was decided on the day he set foot on the land of Bei Yin. He has not changed in the past, and there is no sudden rebirth.

…

On the fifteenth day of the imprisonment of the missions of the two countries, a robbery occurred.

Only Daxing Shizi Yanshu escaped, but he was poisoned with arrows. When he arrived at Daxing Barracks on the border, the military doctor had to resort to amputation to save Shizi’s life.

But when the son woke up, he found that he had lost his right arm and looked crazy. He raised a knife and killed the army doctor, including dozens of soldiers who took care of him.

The secret guards are tightly guarded and guarded by the most heavily guarded institutions. Only a handful of people know that the only major criminals of the crime of injustice are detained here. Those who dare to rob prison and rescue Yan Shu will never rob prisoners here. The bottom layer of the dungeon is made of black iron, and even the walls are made of solid iron. No matter how high the martial arts of the prisoners here, no matter how vicious they are, they will not be able to escape. If there is an accident, the agency will put down the broken dragon stone to block the whole basement one.

Even the Queen Mother Yin didn’t know how far Bei Yin Anwei Camp had developed in Xiao Han’s hands.

The innermost room was clean. After being detained for so long, Situ Huairuo picked up the habit of meditating. Hearing from the guard jailer, he would not move for four or five hours as long as he sat.

Xiao Han smiled at him through the door of Xuan Tie prison, “Tell you a piece of news, Yan Shu has escaped.”

Situ Huairuo frowned slightly, “You did it on purpose.”

If she really wanted to keep Yan Shu, she could lock him in this place. So there is only one possibility, she deliberately let Yan Shu go.

Xiao Han sighed faintly, “You always have to let go back.”

Just like keeping Yang Lingcheng in Beiyin as a host, a crippled and violent Yanshu returned to make Daxing even more chaotic.

“Don’t you envy him, he has returned to Daxing, and you are still in this dark dungeon.”

Situ Huairuo said firmly, “You won’t let me go back.”

Even Mu Hualing was able to save his life, which has surprised Situ Huairuo. Letting him go will only affect Mu Hualing’s plan. He pondered for a moment, “Are you going to send troops to Daxing?”

Yan Shu is this excuse for leading the war.

Xiao Han didn’t explain much, and said lightly, “You thank someone, because of her, I will save your life.”

She curled her lips, “Maybe a few years, maybe ten years.”

“Just meditate and recite the scriptures here, and pray for my Bei Yin to dominate the world.”

Situ Huairuo was silent.

In another cell not far from Situ Huairuo, Qin Jia was being held.

Qin Jia could have escaped, but Yan Shu let her queen, no matter how much she liked her, no matter what kind of ability and talent she had, in the end, she abandoned her on the way to escape, not as important as her own life.

Xiao Han also locked her up, and let people learn something valuable from her from time to time. People had to bow their heads under the eaves, and Qin Jia would understand it sooner or later.

Those in secret detention have lost their freedom, but those who escaped back to Daxing safely may not be so happy.

Before Yan Shu returned to the imperial capital, everyone knew that King Xian had been crippled, and that he had overwhelming infamy.

There were hundreds of people on the mission, but only Yan Shu came back. Doubts, questions, and abuse focused on him. It was so beautiful when I came out, but when I came back, it was cursed by thousands of people. The reputation of Xianwangfu has also dropped to its lowest point. The emperor did not hesitate to throw the black pot to him, completely not wanting that he had no intention of saving people.

More importantly, Bei Yin sent troops and jointly declared with Nan Liang that the mastermind of the murder of Princess Yongsi to destroy the marriage between the two countries was Yan Shu.

The members of the Nanliang Mission were just being used by others. To apologize, the six princes, the six princes whom the Emperor Nanliang had been interested in, were still in Beiyin. Nan Liang apologized, and the hostages also agreed to compromise, and then quickly stood on the united front with Bei Yin, and became angry with the enemy.

And this time, the Bei Yin was recruited by Princess Hua Ling.

Over the course of April, the Beiyin Tieqi defeated Daxing all the way to the Weihe River and occupied 15 cities. Daxing had to send envoys to seek reconciliation and cede land to pay compensation.

In the third year of Yuanqi, Emperor Nanliang died suddenly of illness. He did not leave a will before his death, nor did he set a prince and prince. The ministers each had supporting princes, and even ministers who had allegiance to the old emperor said that they would welcome back to Bei Yin The qualitative six princes succeeded to the throne.

Before the mourning period of the first emperor had passed, the royal clan was already vying for endless battles.

In just two or three months, the four emperors were changed, bones and flesh were broken, the slaughter continued, the civil turmoil was turbulent, and the disaster spread to the dynasty.

Finally, Bei Yin took advantage of the vacancy to enter, annexed in one fell swoop, and since then Nan Liang died.

In the fifth year of Yuanqi, the Northern Yin Reformation was strong, and there were laws outside, and the wise rulers inside. In addition, with strong national support, the Northern Yin drove the iron cavalry and the powerful master to sweep the world, and the death of the Great Xing was finally a foregone conclusion. The capital of Emperor Daxing was Yudu, and he was granted a fief by Mu Hualing, the princess of the prison.
