Chapter 2262: A confused Ying Hao
Luoyang, Tongfu Inn, a group of diners were having a heated discussion.
"Hey, have you heard the truth about the Guanzhong War?"
"What else could be the truth? The Tang army has already reached Luoyang City, how can our Majesty let him go, Li Shimin?"
"Shh, keep your voice down. The enthronement ceremony has not yet been held, and our Majesty has not proclaimed himself emperor yet."
"Yes, before becoming emperor, it is better to call him King Qin."
"Hey, it's a matter of time, but the Guanzhong War will start, it must be because the Tang army reached Luoyang."
"Yes, King Qin is about to proclaim himself emperor. Why don't you teach Li Tang a lesson so as to deter the other princes?"
"This is why you only know one but not the other. The Tang army's encirclement of Luoyang is indeed one of the conditions for sending troops. In fact, there is another reason."
"what reason?"
"This has something to do with Princess Li Tang Li Xiuning."
"Li Xiuning is also a beauty who ranks at the top of the Hundred Flowers List. It is said that there are countless suitors, but she can't like any of them. She has become an old girl and is still unmarried. But what does this matter have to do with her? She Haven’t you shown your face in many years?”
"Then do you know why he didn't show up?"
"Why?"
"Because she gave birth to King Qin's child, she was put under house arrest by King Tang."
"What? How is this possible? There is a blood feud between Winning and the Li family."
"That's right, Li Yuan, the father of the Tang Dynasty, was killed in the battle with me, Great Qin."
"This is why you don't understand. During the Yellow Turban Uprising, the King of Qin and the King of Tang were comrades-in-arms, and their relationship was so good that they almost became sworn brothers."
"I have heard that the King of Qin and the King of Tang were indeed the main force in suppressing the Yellow Turbans at that time. They were once known as the pillars of the Han Dynasty after Jiang Shang and Wen Zhong."
"Although the King of Tang and the King of Qin were not sworn sworn friends, it is true that they had a good personal relationship. The younger sister of the King of Tang also fell in love with the King of Qin, and the two families almost got married."
"Damn, it turns out there is such a thing, but what happened next?"
"Later, Emperor Ling granted Princess Wannian a marriage to the King of Qin. The King of Jin agreed to the marriage on behalf of the King of Qin, but Li Yuan did not want Li Xiuning to be his concubine, so he ended the fate between the two."
"Hiss, it turns out that it was Princess Wannian who got involved, otherwise King Qin's real wife might be Li Xiuning."
"Don't interrupt, go on, what does this have to do with the Battle of Guanzhong?"
"It's a big deal. Although Li Xiuning failed to marry the King of Qin, he has already secretly promised to marry her, and our King of Qin also likes Li Xiuning.
After the Battle of Dong, Tang Wang Li Shimin was captured, Li Xiuning went to Luoyang to negotiate, and two people who liked each other got together again. What do you think will happen? "
"Hey, it turned out to be that time, but how dare this Li Xiuning? There is a blood feud between the Ying and Li families. She gave birth to King Qin's flesh and blood. Even if she is a biological sister, King Tang cannot tolerate it."
"Who knows, maybe this is love. Even if you know it is wrong and there is a dead end ahead, you will still do it."
"Listening to what you said, it seems quite touching. This Li Xiuning can be considered a hero among girls.
"If you ask me, our King of Qin is so charming, what woman in the world can bear it? Even Concubine Ren, who was originally Emperor Ming, fell, let alone Li Xiuning?"
"But if this is true, the child born to Li Xiuning is probably four or five years old."
"Yes, it was precisely because the child was older that his whereabouts were exposed. As a result, he was discovered by the King of Tang, who imprisoned both Li Xiuning and her son."
"So this is the battle in Guanzhong?"
"That's right, it was precisely because our King of Qin knew about the imprisonment of Li Xiuning's mother and son that he launched the Battle of Guanzhong at all costs. In this battle, King Qin not only wanted to shock the princes of the world, but also rescue him. Woman and son.”
"This is unlikely. The King of Qin is one of the rare wise kings in ancient times. How could he start a war lightly just because of women and children?"
"How is it impossible? Let me tell you, King Qin's true temperament is to send troops. Women and children are in the hands of the enemy. As a man, how can you not take them back?"
"That's right, King Qin did the right thing, so he should fuck Li Tang. He dared to threaten women and children. It is simply despicable and shameless."
"Yep……"
Looking at the people talking about each other, Ye Qingmei's face was full of gossip, and she pricked up her ears for fear of missing a word.
Guo Furong on the other side whispered: "Let me just say, the relationship between King Qin and Princess Xiuning is definitely not simple. See if I am right."
Ye Qingmei's eyes lit up and she quickly asked: "Sister Guo, do you know any secret information?"
Guo Furong came over and said with a mysterious face: "It can't be said to be a secret. It was in Qixia Town that we met King Qin, King Tang and Princess Xiuning."
With that said, Guo Furong told Ye Qingmei what she saw and heard in Qixia Town, exactly as it was but with added insults.
After hearing this, Ye Qingmei's eyes were full of curiosity and asked: "So, Sister Long was also in Qixia Town back then."
"Yes, Concubine Long is the King of Qin whom she met in Qixia Town."
"I'll go ask Sister Long."
Looking at Ye Qingmei's leaving back, Bai Zhantang was thoughtful, then frowned and asked: "Fu Rong, are there too many scandals about King Qin recently?"
"Hey, there have never been any scandals about King Qin."
"No, something is wrong this time. It's better to respond to the above."
"Old Bai, how can it be so serious, huh? It's not serious, is it?"
. . . . . . . . . .
In the meeting hall of Prince Qin's Mansion, Ying Hao is convening ministers to discuss important matters.
"Lord, the preparations for the enthronement ceremony have been completed. We just need to wait until the time comes to hold it as scheduled." Jia Xuhui reported.
"Lord, envoys from various countries have been accommodated in the embassy..." Zhang Yi said.
"..."
After listening to everyone's report, Ying Hao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Li Jing also played well in Guanzhong. Maybe before he ascends the throne, I, the Qin Dynasty, will win another state."
"Congratulations, lord, congratulations, lord."
Before the congratulations ended, the guards came to report.
"Report... report to the lord, Jin Yiwei has important information and needs to report to the lord alone."
"Let's wait until the meeting is over."
"But this information is urgent."
"That's the case. Let's report it to the study."
"promise."
After Qin Hao brought the Jin Yiwei people to the study, before the Jin Yiwei had time to report, another guard came to report.
"Report, my lord, the queen wants to see you."
"Let the princess wait for a moment. I am not available at the moment."
"promise."
After the guards left, Ying Hao said to the Jin Yiwei, "Just tell me."
"No, it's like this. There have been a lot of rumors in Luoyang recently..."
When Ying Hao heard that it was a rumor, he wasn't very interested. After all, how big could the problem of rumors be? However, he was still prepared to listen patiently to the end, but the guard barged in again after hearing halfway through.
"Report..."
"what happened again?"
"Queen, queen, she..."
"What's wrong with her? Didn't you ask her to wait?"
"Queen, she forced her way in."
"What?"
bump……
The study door was kicked open, and Liu Mu walked in with a sullen face.
Looking at Liu Mu with a cold face, Ying Hao swallowed his saliva and asked nervously: "Mu'er, what do you want to do?"
"I want to know the truth."
Ying Hao was inexplicably panicked. When his secret secret was exposed, Liu Mu said, "Husband, what is going on between you and Li Xiuning?"
Ying Hao was stunned and felt that he was almost cheated.
Knowing that he was not exposed, Ying Hao felt reassured, but Liu Mu mentioned Li Xiuning, which made him even more confused.
"Mu'er, what are you talking about? What about Li Xiuning?"
"You are still pretending. Now the whole city of Luoyang has spread the news that you two are in love with each other, but I have become the meddler in Wannian. You also said that the purpose of attacking the Tang Kingdom is to bring back their mother and son..."
Ying Hao looked at Liu Mu who was full of grievances and kept talking in confusion, and thought to himself: What the hell is this situation?
"Wait a minute, Mu'er, what did you just say? You sent troops to attack the Tang Dynasty to save Li Xiuning's mother and son? Who told you this? Whose child did Li Xiuning give birth to before she got married?"
"Pretend, keep pretending, besides yours, who else could it be..."
Liu Mu snorted coldly and said that what she cared about was not that Li Xiuning gave birth to her husband and child, but that people rumored that she was a third party involved in the relationship between the two.
That evil girl Ren Hongchang couldn't defeat her, but Li Xiuning hadn't even started yet, so he wanted to frame her as the meddler? Just a dream.
Liu Mu had made up his mind that after Li Xiuning got married, he would let her see the majesty of his head wife.
After listening to Liu Mu's story, Ying Hao was completely confused.
Li Xiuning was pregnant and gave birth to a child, and the child was my child. As a result, everyone in the world knew about it, but I was the only one who didn’t know?
At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Ying Hao's mind. Is this Li Shimin's conspiracy? Or maybe it's Li Tang's negotiation methods, etc., but I still dare not make a conclusion before it is determined.
If, if all this is true, the two children born to Li Xiuning are really Ying Hao's flesh and blood, then Ying Hao will definitely not leave them outside.
Only Ying Hao's family was confirmed to have changed their surname back to Ying, and he now only has three sons and five daughters.
For ordinary people, this number of children is not too many, and for the royal family, it is even less.
Ying Wen and Jia Yu urged Ying Hao to take more concubines every day and spread the branches and leaves of the royal family. If they knew that Li Xiuning had given birth to two princes for Ying Hao at one time, it was not necessary to think about how the two elders would react.
Ying Hao comforted Liu Mu for a long time with kind words, swearing that he had no knowledge beforehand and that all this was Li Tang's conspiracy, and then he coaxed Liu Mu into peace.
You can't do it without coaxing her. Liu Mu is a great master. If she explodes, the palace will also explode.
After Liu Mu left, Ying Hao looked at the Jin Yiwei just now and said, "What do you want to report? Go ahead and report."
"..."
Jin Yiwei wanted to cry but had no tears. He had already finished speaking to the queen, what else could he say.
