Prince Qingyu was filled with joy for his great victory. The imperial edict of his late emperor gave him legal support, and this foreign court meeting gave him real strength.
Seventy-three versus eighteen, such a huge reputation can support him to do most of the things he wants to do.
Qingyu was so excited that he was shaking all over. The feeling of being supported by his countrymen was so wonderful!
The elders who came here specially brought wine cups, sang and danced to the sound of drums, and presented them to Qingyu to express their recognition of the results and express the love of the Chinese people to Qingyu.
The young master's face turned pale, and he was also trembling, but he was trembling with fear.
Yongzang, Lu Fang and Zhong Gu were silent and watched Qingyu drink the fine wine one after another without saying a word.
No matter in any country, the people of the country will not lie about whether they support the king or not. If they like it, they will "rush to tell each other". It is not clear whether they like it or not. They may follow the crowd and "dance" with other people. Or he may come forward to drink wine, but if he hates the king, he will not pretend to kill him with false words. At most, "the road follows the eyes" and just say nothing.
The attitude of the people of the country has a huge influence on the scholars, and the support of the scholars is the source of the power of the officials. From this perspective, Qingyu, who has just ascended the throne, has already firmly established himself as a mediocre prince.
Qingyu raised his title and invited the officials to drink. When they came to Chengshuang, Sikong Lufang, Situ Zhonggu, and Dianling Yongzang could no longer remain silent. The people of the country had made their choice and they must obey.
The three important ministers bowed down to Qingyu and shouted in unison: "Congratulations, sir!"
Qingyu laughed loudly and helped the three important ministers up: "I will rely on the help of all the ministers from now on."
These three are rare masters of the God Refining Realm in the country. One of the important reasons why Qingyu made up his mind to convene the foreign court meeting is that he wanted to use them for his own purposes. Otherwise, in the end, the monarch and his ministers would be separated. , until losing them and their subordinates will be a huge loss to the already extremely weak Yongguo.
The three important ministers did not stand up, so Lu Fang begged: "Young masters are in pairs, they are of the blood of the previous emperor, and they are brothers to each other. Please forgive me and allow me to go out."
Qingyu hesitated and looked around.
Yi Pu stepped forward and said: "Today there is unrest and endless wars. The eldest son is out and may be in danger for his life. Your Majesty has been ordered by your ancestors to cheer up. You need the cooperation of your brothers... Furthermore, it has been reported to Ying If they all go, wouldn't it make outsiders think that the king is ungrateful and cannot tolerate others? Lu Sikong can rest assured that the king is not a Yiwu, and the eldest son will not be a heavy ear. The story of Jin Hui and Wen should not appear in Shangyong. .”
When the pair heard this, they became even more frightened.
The three important ministers looked at each other, and Lu Fang said again: "The north is in turmoil and the road is not peaceful. I would like to serve the eldest son when he goes south and go to Baiyue to choose a place to live in seclusion. I will never go more than half a step beyond Mangdang Mountain in my lifetime. If I violate this oath, I will never die." Sons and grandsons! I hope that the king will take pity on you. Your kindness will be praised by the world."
To the south of Yongguo is the Baiyue Lianshan Department. To the south of the Lianshan Department is a mountain named Mangdang, which is nearly 200 miles away from Shangyong City. Lu Fang's meaning is very clear. Please rest assured that Qingyu will accompany the couple in exile. He will never go to Yingdu to seek help. He will not even go half a step beyond Mangdang Mountain, just to save his life.
Speaking of this, and making such a vicious oath, many officials could not sit still. Guo Lao Yongzifu took the lead in begging Qingyu for pardon for the sin of being a couple. Please grant Lu Fang's request.
A large group of people fell down under the darkness in front of them, and they all asked Qingyu to let him go into exile, because everyone knew that if the couple stayed in Shangyong, Qingyu would be like a thorn in the back, making it difficult to sleep peacefully. After three or five years, he might die unexpectedly, no, maybe he wouldn't even take three or five months!
Most of the officials in Qing Dynasty were among those asking for mercy, which really annoyed Qingyu, but also helpless, so he asked Wu Sheng for advice.
Wu Sheng said: "Since we are going to Baiyue, life must be very difficult. I'm afraid that Lu Sikong's family will not be able to endure it. I am kind-hearted, so I ask you to take care of me and allow Lu Sikong's family to stay in the city."
This time Qingyu finally agreed: "Shen Qing's plan is very good, I am right." He also told Lu Fang: "After you go to the country, you often communicate with your family. If you need anything or if you have any difficulties, just let me know." , I should try my best to help."
Lu Fang was helpless. The matter had come to this, and it was useless to talk more. If he refused again, Qingyu might change his words, and then the couple would be really trapped in the city, waiting to die.
When all the officials saw that Qingyu had agreed to release him, they all praised him for his mercy. At this time, Chengshuang could only step forward to express his gratitude to his brother.
Qingyu didn't know what it was like, and he was a little unwilling to go into exile in pairs. However, he completely restored people's hearts and gained a lot. At least Zhong Gu and Yongzang, two masters of god refining, were saved, and they left in pairs to travel far away. , but left a back hand, holding Lu Fang's little one in his hand, ready to rub it at any time.
Since we had to leave, the sooner the better, so the couple immediately returned home, counted their belongings, and packed their bags. They couldn't take away much in a hurry, so they only packed three cars of clothes.
When he was a young master, he treated his retainers very kindly. This time in exile, even if he went to Baiyue, there were still eight retainers willing to follow him. In addition, Lu Fang also brought two retainers, and there were more than ten people in his group. He hurried out of the city before dawn and escaped from Shangyong.
Running all night to the southern boundary, we parked our cars in pairs, climbed up Ma Tou Po and looked into the distance, looking back at Shangyong.
Lu Fang advised: "I know that it is difficult to leave my homeland, but we are not out of danger yet. I would like to invite you to board the carriage."
Cheng Shuang said: "Wait a little longer." Still standing here, looking north for a long time, then east and south.
It's before dawn, and the sky is getting darker. What can you see?
Lu Fang advised: "Is the young master still thinking about returning to Shangyong? Absolutely no, leave quickly. If the prince regrets and sends people to chase the young master, it will be too late to regret it."
Cheng Shuang sneered: "I'm not a fool. I naturally know that I can't just go back. Even if I want to go back, I have to wait for Mr. Yu before I can go back."
Lu Fang was startled: "Waiting for Mr. Yu? What does it have to do with Mr. Yu? Even so, we can't go to Yutou City. I swore to you that I must accompany the young master to go south to Baiyue and not go more than half a step north of Mangdang Mountain."
Cheng Shuang put his palms together and smiled: "I know a way to return to Shangyong without breaking the oath - when we wait for Qingyu's death."
Seeing that Lu Fang was still puzzled, she became more and more complacent: "Do you know why I asked you to wait all night to gather the guests last night? I have made an agreement with Mr. Yu to marry Mr. Yu's daughter Jiang... Now, the army of the Fish Kingdom should be arriving soon... …”
Then he looked around and asked, "Why aren't you here yet?"
Lu Fang's heart felt like it was falling into the abyss, and she murmured: "Master, did you borrow troops from the Fish Kingdom?"
Cheng Shuang sneered: "Yes, I have long seen that Qingyu had the intention to rebel. He wanted to wait for the Chu envoy but was afraid that he would not be able to wait, so he borrowed the fish soldiers to enter the city... Unfortunately, the fish soldiers came too late, otherwise how could he have done this... "
As he was talking, he suddenly felt a chill on his vest, and he was stunned. When he looked down, he saw a long sword with a sharp tip coming out of his chest.
