Chapter 249 "Li Changsheng" is dead!
【Li Changsheng】is dead!
He was burned alive in public.
This news immediately caused an uproar.
The forces that were watching from all sides began to stir.
The Divine Capital, and even the entire Nine Provinces, are about to be in turmoil, with undercurrents surging.
Jiang Family:
The head of the family, Jiang Kuanglong, was currently in the study, secretly meeting with a special person.
Zhao Kun, the special envoy of King Yingguang of Zhao.
Zhao Kun was born into the Zhao family, the most aristocratic family in Zhao County.
When Prince Zhao Yingguang started his rebellion, the Zhao family provided manpower and money, and spared no effort to support him and engage in political speculation.
During a military meeting, Prince Zhao Yingguang once took the initiative to propose that Princess Baili be married to him.
Zhao Kun once had the honor of meeting Princess Baili and was stunned by her beauty. Now that he had the chance to win her heart, he naturally wanted to seize it tightly.
So he volunteered to go deep into the capital despite the danger.
Firstly, it was to convey King Zhao’s highest instructions to the Jiang family.
Secondly, it is to bring Princess Baili back safely.
In the past, Jiang Kuanglong would definitely look down on this junior who was the same age as his son.
But this time is different from the past.
If King Zhao succeeds in his uprising this time, the Zhao family will become the first family to follow the emperor.
Therefore, even when facing a junior, he did not dare to be negligent.
Otherwise, the other party would add fuel to the fire and say some slanderous words to King Zhao.
The fate of their entire Jiang family is really worrying.
"Special Envoy, I wonder what instructions King Zhao has given us. As long as our Jiang family can accomplish this, we will absolutely not hesitate!"
Zhao Kun said, "Duke Jiang, King Zhao has only two requests of you."
Jiang Kuanglong asked: "What is the request?"
Zhao Kun said: "First, take military action as soon as possible, cooperate with King Zhao's army, and capture the Divine Capital!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Kuanglong's expression immediately became solemn.
"Special Envoy, although Xiao Tiangui went to Hulao Pass, his son Xiao Yunfei still controls the entire Tiger Wing Guard."
"If we rashly take military action, we'll probably be surrounded and killed by the Imperial City Division and the Tiger Wing Guards."
Zhao Kun, however, disagreed and said with a smile, "Duke Jiang, I am only delivering the orders of King Zhao. If you have any difficulties, you can go and explain to King Zhao in person!"
Hearing this, Jiang Kuanglong's expression suddenly turned gloomy.
But he dared not speak out against this.
"I will try my best to find a solution. Please take action!"
"I wonder what the second thing King Zhao is talking about?"
Zhao Kun said, "King Zhao asked Master Kongxiang to calculate it. He said that the ninth day of next month would be an auspicious day for marriage."
"Prince Zhao wants you to send your daughter Jiang Xiner out of the capital before this and marry the Crown Prince Ying Qi, so as not to miss the auspicious time."
After hearing what Zhao Kun said, Jiang Kuanglong's originally gloomy expression became even uglier.
In his opinion, King Zhao was giving him an ultimatum.
As long as he sends his daughter over.
The legitimate daughter of a pillar of the country and the son of a rebellious prince formed an alliance.
Once this news reached the emperor's ears.
One can easily imagine the fate that awaits the Jiang family.
But he didn't dare to refuse.
After all, King Zhao’s chances of winning are really too great now.
In just a few months, he advanced to the outside of Hulao Pass, which shows that he was the popular choice.
Judging from the general situation in the world, it is almost certain that King Zhao will be promoted to the supreme ruler.
If I refuse now, King Zhao will definitely be angry.
I think the Jiang family is still ambivalent and indecisive.
By then, when King Zhao takes over the world, their Jiang family will inevitably be squeezed out of the core.
"How about this? I'll go to the palace and discuss this with the Queen Mother. Let's see what she has to say."
Zhao Kun nodded and said, "Of course. Such an important matter must be informed to the Queen Mother first!"
……
After Jiang Kuanglong sent away special envoy Zhao Kun, he did not dare to stay for a moment and immediately went into the palace to meet the empress dowager.
He recounted what had happened to Jiang Nanfeng.
Jiang Nanfeng remained calm and asked, "Brother, what do you think?"
Jiang Kuanglong said, "It's too hasty to start a rebellion now. But since King Zhao has already sent a special envoy to urge us, if we don't take action, we will probably be punished by King Zhao again in the future!"
Jiang Nanfeng said angrily, "If Prince Zhao wants to liquidate our Jiang family, he should at least wait until he becomes emperor!"
"Right now, the initiative is in the hands of our Jiang family. Whichever side we stand on, victory and peace will lean towards that side!"
Jiang Kuanglong seemed a little surprised to hear that his sister had suddenly become so politically savvy.
However, he changed his mind and understood what was going on.
These words must have been taught to her by Yan Qing.
"Queen Dowager, if this is the case, once Prince Zhao withdraws his troops, His Majesty will definitely ally with the Xiao family and attack our Jiang family."
"Don't forget, when King Zhao launched his campaign to purge the imperial court, he publicly announced that he had received your imperial decree."
Hearing this, Jiang Nanfeng's expression was obviously a little flustered.
"That imperial edict was forged by Prince Zhao, and I was not aware of it!"
Jiang Kuanglong said earnestly: "Sister, do you think His Majesty and the Xiao family will believe me if I say this?"
Jiang Nanfeng: "This..."
He was undecided for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll go back and ask Yan Qing and see what he says!"
Jiang Kuanglong saw that this was a critical moment that concerned the survival of their family.
My sister actually wants to ask an outsider.
This immediately made him a little crazy.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
Just then, Jin Jiuling came over.
"Duke Jiang, what happened to you that makes you so upset?"
Jiang Kuanglong knew that Jin Jiuling was the empress dowager's absolute confidant, so he repeated what had just happened.
Jin Jiuling was originally jealous of Yan Qing and stole her favor from the Queen Mother.
Now that I heard that the Queen Mother was facing an undecided issue, the first thing she did was to find Yan Qing.
Rather than coming to find her.
Her anger suddenly exploded.
"Duke Jiang, this Yan Qing is our Dawu's Lao Ai. Whether it's the Emperor or the King of Zhao, if either of them knew about this, I'm afraid they wouldn't let the Queen Mother off, nor would they let you, the instigator, off."
Although Jiang Kuanglong had anticipated this.
But now, when I heard it from Jin Jiuling's mouth, I was still shocked and felt cold sweat running down my back.
In fact, according to his previous plan.
Use this [Yan Qing] to please the Queen Mother.
When the Queen Mother gets tired of him, she will have Jin Jiuling get rid of him without anyone knowing.
But what no one expected was that even after so much time had passed, the Queen Mother not only didn't feel bored at all.
He actually spent every night reveling with Yan Qing, completely immersed in the sexual intercourse and unable to extricate himself.
He really couldn't understand it.
What kind of charm does this [Yan Qing] have that he can actually make all the women of the Jiang family fall in love with him.
It would be fine if my daughter, who is ignorant of the world, indulged in it.
Even the empress dowager, who had experienced many storms, was like this.
The worst thing is that this [Yan Qing] is just like Lao Ai during the Qin Dynasty.
Relying on the favor of the empress dowager, she had long been pretending to obey his orders but secretly disobeying them.
Moreover, this guy had previously vowed that he would marry Jiang Xiner.
Now, he is having fun with the Queen Mother every day and every night.
When you have a new love, you forget the old one.
A total ungrateful person.
We must find a way to get rid of this ungrateful person who becomes arrogant when he succeeds.
Otherwise, it will definitely backfire on you.
Thinking of this, Jiang Kuanglong had already made up his mind.
No matter what, this [Yan Qing] must die!
