Chapter 122 Night Banquet and the Three Factions of the Imperial Capital (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
At night in the Xianheng imperial capital, the lights are brightly lit, and there are no fewer people coming and going than during the day. It is the only city in the Western Qin world that never sleeps. It is a symbol of the prosperity of the Western Qin Empire and a symbol of strength.
The eldest princess's mansion is located south of the inner city, separated from the mansion of the general in prison.
On the way.
Chen Huixian and Yang Du sat cross-legged on the carriage. The carriage slowly moved forward, and the sound of the tracks creaked in an orderly manner.
Outside, there are seven registered disciples of Chen Huixian, two newly acquired children of the Meng family guarding each other.
Chen Huixian poured water into the pot, and the boiling tea water was poured into the cup. Then he reached out to signal Yang Du to drink tea and said, "Military advisor, you have also learned about the situation in the imperial capital in the past two days. Can you explain it to me?"
Yang Du held up the teacup with both hands, smelled the fragrance, and sipped in the tea, saying, "After separation, there have been many changes in the court. It can be roughly divided into three parties: the main war faction, the neutral faction, and the main faction. However, the relationship inside is complicated and there are many factions."
Chen Huixian knew in his heart that no matter where he went, he had completely different opinions. People who sang opposites did not lack the fence-bearing who would blow the wind and dominate the other side.
"Let me talk about the pro-war faction first. The prison guards should belong to the pro-war faction, right? How much power does he occupy in it?"
"The general can indeed be considered a war-oriented faction, but the general is always outside and is watching the affairs of the court. He has not really had too much contact with anyone."
Meng Tian knew the truth that it was worse than it was, and in order to avoid the suspicion of Qin Emperor, his achievements were shocked.
"The second prince Yinghe, Tingwei Zhou Shouyi, Dingke Wang Zhao, Zong Zheng Yingfeng and others were the leaders. The second prince Yinghe believed that the roots should be eliminated. Tingwei Zhou Shouyi and Wang Zhao felt that the war should be used to promote peace. Yingfeng proposed that the country must be settled first when resisting foreign countries, which coincided with the idea of the general. The forces they formed allied each other, wooed neutral factions, and jointly fought against the peace factions."
Yang Du said it very carefully, even if it was just a brief introduction, it was basically clear at a glance, which made Chen Huixian outline a map in his heart.
He nodded slightly when he heard this and signaled Yang Du to continue.
"The neutral factions are very scattered, and their interests vary. Maybe they don't care about war or peace, or maybe they just want to stay away from party struggles.
Among them, the third prince Ying Xu, who controls some military power to guard the imperial capital, takes the opportunity to get the support of the pro-war faction and the pro-polis faction to compete for the position of prince.
As well as Su Jingteng, the Nei-Si who was in charge of money and grain, he held the financial power, but he just wanted to stay away from disputes. A group of ministers with almost all kinds of power gradually gathered around him, and his power should not be underestimated.
The third one is Concubine Zheng. Concubine Zheng is the Blood Bat Demon Clan. In order to appease the Blood Bat Demon Clan, His Majesty the Emperor invited Concubine Zheng into the harem. None of the three parties were Yi and the others."
"Does the demon clan? This Majesty's heart is not ordinary."
Chen Huixian narrowed his eyes slightly, and his voice was filled with a few rays of coldness. If he was not my race, his heart would be different.
The demon race is different from the human race. Whether it is life habits, life philosophy, world outlook, values, morality, etc.
The demon clan regards humans as livestock and controls forces that mortals cannot reach. Killing people is as simple as burning an ant nest to death.
Therefore, instead of asking the demons to restrain their nature or teach them to change their habits, in Shen Huixian's view, it is better to kill them cleanly.
"After the defeat of the demon clan, he sneaked into the empire and caused trouble. Every time he appeared, he often caused all the people in the town to be killed or injured. At that time, the ghost clan was coming and his troops were in short supply. His Majesty chose this method in order to be able to split them."
After hearing Yang Du's explanation, Chen Huixian admired the Emperor Qin. He deserved to be a unified world. When facing two attacks on demons, he could still lead the Western Qin Empire to stand firm.
After introducing this, before Yang Du could tell the power of the lord and sect, the carriage had already arrived at the door of the Princess's mansion.
The two walked out of the carriage and looked at the waiting crowd at the door. One of them was their old acquaintance, Su Ying.
At this banquet, Chen Huixian and Yang Du discussed that Yang Du would be the main one, and Chen Huixian would be regarded as an inconspicuous little transparent person.
"Please follow me?"
Su Ying came up and looked at Chen Huixian curiously before leading the way.
She was a little surprised that she was so old that she was so old that she wondered in her heart if the other party had the ability to rejuvenate her child.
These days she secretly investigated, and the disciples of the Montessus were too talkative, and also revealed the identity of Chen Huixian.
Only no one knows the strength, so Su Ying only knows that Chen Huixian is superb, and she doesn't know where she is.
The eldest princess' mansion is much smaller and more refined than Meng Tian's mansion. Each place may be the work of a craftsman.
When they arrived at the main hall of the middle courtyard, nearly half of the tables on both sides of the hall had sat, each representing a force, either big or small, but it was enough to shake the court a few times.
Su Ying led them to a position close to Ying Xuan on the right.
"Yang Du? When did he come back? He actually represented the prison guards to attend the night banquet."
"There is a master of the Montessori who is very sensational over there? It looks quite ordinary. Is it really that powerful at a young age?"
"The prison guards really have chosen a good time, and there will be a good show."
Chen Huixian was worried about the thoughts of others. After sitting down with Yang Du, he looked at the singing and dancing performed by the central station, and seemed to be unintentionally scanning the few people and asked in a low voice:
"Military advisor, who are these people coming?"
Yang Du glanced at him and was full of familiar faces. He whispered: "The first one on the opposite side is the left Prime Minister Zhao Youan, the leader of the peace. He advocated suspending the offensive for a few years and giving the people a chance to have a rest and breathe."
"The second is that the eldest prince wins the support of the people, and the peacemakers advocate negotiations to resolve the problem. He believes that after more than three hundred years of war, both sides are exhausted, and it is a good time for negotiation."
Yang Du came to Chen Huixian one by one. When Chen Huixian heard the introduction, he looked at Zhao Youan and Ying Fu a few more times.
Zhao Youan looked like an old man in his seventies or eighties, thin and dark. Although he was wearing luxurious court uniforms, he looked like an old farmer was entering the city.
The eldest prince Ying Fu looks like a middle-aged man in his forties. He has a tall nose, straight facial features, and elegant temperament. He is simply an old bacon that can be killed by all ages.
Compared to him, the second prince sitting in the third row had a cold face and looked only in his early twenties, like an iceberg male god.
He hung a sword around his waist, his eyes showing a little murderous aura, and he seemed to be ready to draw his sword against the enemy at all times.
The third prince looks a little older than the second prince. He is in his thirties and is dressed up in a gorgeous manner. His face is not only clean, but also seems to have applied cosmetics.
