Shili Hari gave a rough account of the power structure and struggles in Champa, which is basically true.
Qian Long listened carefully, but showed no emotion and only nodded from time to time.
After Shili Hari finished speaking, he asked, "In this case, how could your king and the chief priest agree with your Majesty to punish those four people? In other words, your Majesty is doing something that is impossible to do. How about entertaining Qian and the Song Dynasty!?"
"General Qian, please calm down. A certain family really wants to punish the evil and give the superior country a satisfactory explanation, but it has not taken over the power, so it is useless to say nothing!"
Shili Hari was full of guilt and regret. When Qian Long didn't answer, he said sadly, "Actually, the siege of the mission these days should be the king's arrangement, so a certain family tried many methods but failed to solve the siege. , even if they want to use force, a certain family cannot mobilize a single soldier into the city except for three hundred personal guards, otherwise it will be a conspiracy..."
After hearing this, Qian Long had a reaction, "If your Majesty really wants to rescue us, three hundred cavalry are enough."
"Alas...it won't work." Shili Hari sighed and shook his head. "When the king plans a plan, he will definitely arrange a back-up team. If a certain family uses 300 cavalry to escort the envoy, I'm afraid it will play into his hands. He can send a large army to annihilate us all. Then he confuses the facts and puts the blame on a certain family for attacking the mission, and he just couldn't rescue him in time, so he will die without any evidence..."
Qian Long also had to admit that this possibility was extremely high. After a moment of silence, he said, "According to this, the person who needs to untie the bell must also tie the bell. We can only ask the king to handle it in person. Qian will now make a formal request to the king as an envoy." I don’t believe he dares to blatantly ignore the declaration and request!”
"It still doesn't work. Doesn't General Qian know? The king is not in the city."
"Not in the city!? Then where is he?"
"On Shivaratri, he left the city to offer sacrifices at the Manta Temple. That night he claimed to have been instructed by the gods, and then the next day he set off with the chief priest to the My Son Holy Land, and would stay there for half a month to preside over and handle matters. Although everything in the church happens unexpectedly, it is still a common practice in this country, and it only happens once every two to three years."
"Meishan Holy Land?"
"Yes, General Qian should know that the state religion of this country has an unparalleled status. The king needs the help of religious power to control the country. Meishan has been the holy land of the state religion since a thousand years ago. It can also be said to be the center of governance. No matter where the country's capital is moved, No matter where, grand ceremonies and sacrifices must be held regularly in the Holy Land to win over people's hearts... It is nearly 600 miles away. If someone is willing to obstruct it, then the documents submitted by General Qian don't know how long it will take to arrive. Even if it does, the king will still have a way to put it aside. Delay, so this method will not help at all.”
After Shili Hari explained helplessly, Qian Long became a little angry.
"This won't work, that won't work either. It seems that Qian and others can only sit back and wait for death?! That's all. The worst they can do is die for the country... Humph, no matter what conspiracy or trick is used, there is no way to deceive His Highness the King of Yan. When the time comes, little one Little Champa will definitely pay the price with blood, just wait for Chidi Qianli!".z.
This anger and threat not only did not frighten Shili Hari, but made him secretly happy in his heart, but on the surface he looked panicked, hissing and sighing.
"Sigh... That uncle of a certain family is narrow-minded and short-sighted, but he has taken power. A certain family is watching helplessly as he is about to make a big mistake, but they don't know how to stop it..."
Qian Long glared at Shili Hari with an impatient face, "Since your Majesty can't do anything, then don't be pretentious here! I think there is no good person in Zhancheng, they are all the same!"
Shili Hari was horrified and aggrieved, "A certain family's loyalty and filial piety to the country can be seen from the sun and the moon, but they are still angered by General Qian for no reason. It is really chilling."
"Haha, you just talk about loyalty and filial piety, but you don't have any actual practice. Who knows what's going on in your heart? Qian is about to die and is too lazy to talk to you about useless things. The door is behind you, so I won't send you far away! "
Qian Long looked like he had broken a jar. After saying this, he stood up angrily and rolled up his sleeves as if he was going to fight for someone.
"General Qian, what are you doing!?" Shili Hari hurriedly grabbed his arm.
Qian Long shook it off fiercely, "Qian is not someone who just waits to die. Now
Then fight out. Zuo Shangqing had better move away immediately to avoid being implicated! "
Being thrown hard, Shili Hari staggered and almost fell down, but regardless of his embarrassment, he continued to stop Qian Long and tried to dissuade him.
"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive. It's not the last moment yet. General Qian, please calm down. Let's think about it carefully. Maybe things can turn around. Even if there is really nothing we can do, a certain family can't just stand by and watch. In the worst case, we will accompany you." If General Qian breaks through the encirclement together, with a certain family of three hundred cavalry, at least there will be a slight chance to find a way out..."
Qian Long seemed to have listened a little, and his mood eased slightly, and he said coldly, "You want to accompany me to break out!? Do you have the courage to disobey Jay!? Ha, no matter whether you can successfully fight out or not, wait until afterwards, Jay I'm sure I won't spare you, and I'm afraid your family will be completely wiped out and no one will be left alive!"
Seeing that Qian Long called him by his first name, it seemed that he really hated the king of Champa. Shili Hari felt that the heat was almost over and was secretly happy. However, his expression was still well managed, and his face kept changing, pretending to be in embarrassment and struggling in his heart.
After a while, his eyes were fixed, and he twitched his cheeks and gritted his teeth, "A certain family is willing to die for justice, but they really don't want their family members to suffer innocently. After thinking about it, there is only one solution that may have both ends."
"Huh!? Have you thought of a way? What way?" Qian Long was doubtful.
Shili Hari said solemnly, "There is a way, but it must first obtain the consent and support of the higher country!"
"Let's talk and listen first." Qian Long's eyes flashed with hope.
Shili Hari hesitated again before saying, "I, King Jaya, acted rebelliously and ignorantly. He bullied the sect leader at the top and harmed the people at the bottom. His virtue was simply not worthy of his place. Seeing that my country was led to a point of no return, a certain family I am heartbroken and have no choice but to make a vow to follow the example of the sage Yi Yin and put Taijia in Tong Palace, temporarily expelling Jaya from the throne until he corrects himself and then return to power!"
He obviously wanted to usurp the throne and replace him, but he still spoke righteously, citing the allusion of "putting Taijia in Tong" as an example, saying that the king should be suspended if he is not qualified, and he should be reinstated after learning.
So Qian Long couldn't help but roll his eyes after hearing this, but he also knew in his heart that this was indeed a feasible strategy.
"Although your policy is radical, it is also helpless. Qian can understand it, so I should fully support it."
However, Shili Hari shook his head slightly, "General Qian may have misunderstood. What a certain family wants is not just General Qian's support, but more importantly, the written promise and support of the imperial court."
Qian Long couldn't help but frowned.
Although the Song Dynasty was the suzerain state, it would basically not interfere with the succession of the throne of the vassal states, and it was even less likely to openly support the usurpation of the throne. After all, in Confucian culture, rebellious ministers and traitors could be punished by everyone.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Qian Long said, "The court will never agree. At most, it will be acquiescence. Besides, across thousands of mountains and rivers, by the time the court replies, the grass on Qian's grave will be three feet high."
"Uh! That's true..." Shili Hari pretended to be annoyed and weighed it for a while, "It's fine if a certain family makes a concession and doesn't get the support of the court, then at least it should have the support of King Yan, even if it can't be made public. At least you have to express an attitude that you will recognize a certain family in the future... General Qian, a certain family is willing to take huge risks in order to conquer the country. How can you feel at ease if there is no guarantee? Moreover, when a certain family takes power, they will definitely occupy the city. Obey the superior country, promise to clear the sea routes, and actively cooperate with all the requirements of the superior country! This matter is of great benefit and no harm. His Highness King Yan has no reason to refuse. Even if he has some concerns, I believe General Qian can convince His Highness, right? I heard that King Yan His Highness attaches great importance to love and justice, and he loves General Qian’s sister very much. He will definitely not let General Qian ignore the danger..."
Qian Long narrowed his eyes and sneered in his heart. This female thief was really thoughtful. She actually knew her relationship with His Highness clearly!
"What the Lord said is reasonable. Qian seems to have no choice but to agree. However, it is not easy to overthrow Jay..."
Shili Hari was overjoyed, "Since General Qian agrees, then a certain family will no longer hide it. A certain family has enough strength to do it, and everything is ready. All they need is Dongfeng. As long as they get His Highness King Yan's statement, they can do it." But take action immediately, not to say it’s foolproof, but it’s still pretty sure!”
"It seems, on
Have you confirmed that His Highness has arrived in Qiongzhou? "Qian Long seemed to suddenly realize it.
Shili Hari chuckled, "A certain family knows that it cannot be hidden from the general's discerning eye. It is a very important matter. If you are not sure, how can you dare to act easily? We just received the letter last night. His Highness King Yan led the fleet to Jiyang Army three days ago. , now as long as General Qian writes a personal letter explaining the reasons, and allows a certain family's confidants to go directly to His Highness, then maybe he can get a reply in five or six days. Before that, a certain family will do their best to stop all those who are plotting evil. The safety of the mission must be guaranteed without any harm."
Qian Long took a deep look at Shili Hari and did not say anything else. He paced back and forth in the hall, thinking and weighing carefully.
After a long while, Shili Hari was almost dazzled before he stopped, and then he fetched the four treasures of the study and prepared to write a letter.
Finally relieved, Shili Hari worked diligently, spreading paper and polishing ink like a book boy.
Qian Long wrote straight and eloquently, almost without stopping, and wrote more than ten pages. Finally, he took out the official and private seals and stamped them together.
After sorting out the letter paper, he handed it directly to Shili Hari, "Sir, please see if you have any questions?"
While Qian Long was writing, Shili Hari kept craning his neck to peek, but he never expected that Qian Long would be so frank in the end.
At this time, he took the letter without any hesitation and eagerly read it word for word. The more he read, the happier he became. His usually gloomy face also smiled like a morning glory.
The letter first reported the events since the mission, then stated the current situation in the city, explained the current situation, and praised Shakri Hari without hesitation, and also analyzed the pros and cons of supporting his strategy of replacing Jaya as king.
All in all, it perfectly meets the needs of Shilihori.
"Okay, okay! General Qian is talented and will definitely become a very popular minister in the future... Without further delay, a certain family will make arrangements now and send someone to visit His Highness King Yan as soon as possible!"
"There's no need to rush. It won't be too late for you to leave after your luncheon."
"For the safety of the mission, no moment can be lost..."
Shili Hori waved her hand to refuse Qian Long's offer of food, collected the letter and strode away.
After getting what he dreamed of, he didn't want to keep it for even a moment longer...
Qian Long looked at the retreating figure with a trace of ridicule in his eyes.
If God desires his death, he will be driven mad.
