Chapter 785 civet cat for prince
Although King Nanda was worried, no one listened to his words. Although he was a king, he was actually just a puppet.
Looking at the dark sky outside, King Nanda left the palace. He was unwilling to be a useless puppet all the time.
Now his only way out is to take advantage of the situation.
The candidate is the political enemy of the minister in white, the minister in black.
Black clothes are at a disadvantage compared to white clothes.
But this disadvantage is not as big as imagined, and apart from other kings of Nanda, he is still the king of this country.
Even if he can't make some important decisions, at least he needs to nod on the surface.
The arrival of King Nanda did not surprise the minister in black.
He is very clear about the current situation of the entire Nanda Dynasty. At this moment, the king found him because he wanted to unite against the ministers in white.
This is naturally what the minister in black would like to see, but in fact, this matter is not necessarily a good thing for him.
If the king is only standing in the dark, give him some covert help.
This is a great help for Hei Yi. As a king, he can handle many things conveniently.
But once the cooperation between the two came to the table, it would not be a good thing.
Previously, white clothes and black clothes were confronting each other in the imperial court, and the two were huge in power. Even if one side had an absolute advantage, if they really wanted to pull out their stance and tear their faces apart, it would be of no benefit to anyone.
But once King Nanda made his position clear, he would force these two forces to confront each other head-on.
This is what Heiyi doesn't want to see.
Of course, Bai Yi didn't want to see this kind of result. Once things really got out of hand, Bai Yi would definitely have to pay a heavy price.
But the price is just a price, but for Hei Yi, it is not as simple as paying a price.
How powerful Bai Yi is, Black Yi knows it all too well, he is definitely not a match for Bai Yi.
This matter was related to his future life and death, so Hei Yi was caught in a dilemma for a while.
It stands to reason that when the king of the country visits, no matter what the reason is, he should greet him immediately.
But at this moment, he hesitated. Standing at the door, he knew what kind of impact today's actions would have on the future.
The minister in black didn't go out to greet him, and King Nanda didn't care about it at all. He went directly to the door of the bedroom in black.
Looking at the hesitant minister in black in front of the door, King Nanda smiled and said:
"Do you want to gamble once?"
Hearing this, the eyes in black froze.
According to the past situation, the person in front of him doesn't seem to have such courage.
But what stood in front of him at this moment was completely different.
Although the little king was still young, the determination and courage displayed on his body at this moment made him faintly see the shadow of Mahapadmo Nanda.
Hei Yi once again fell into deep thought, but this time he was thinking about the ability of the young king in front of him.
After hesitating for a long time, Heiyi finally invited King Nanda into his study.
No one knew what the two of them talked about that night.
Three days later, news came from the palace.
King Nanda temporarily abdicated the power of the king, and let the ministers in white and ministers in black be in charge temporarily.
The reason was that King Nanda was going out to inspect the dynasty.
Because since he took the position, he hasn't seen the rest of the Dynasty in person.
This is obviously not qualified for a king.
Although in this era, he has no way to expand the territory for his country like his grandfather Mahapadmo Nanda did.
But at least getting to know all the land in one's own country is something a king should do.
So his decision won the support of the vast majority of courtiers.
In fact, everyone knew that it didn't make much difference whether the king was in the palace or not.
Even if he left the palace, it would not have any impact on the operation of the Nanda Dynasty.
So naturally no one objected.
After the matter was decided, King Nanda immediately launched an action and left the capital on the same day.
It's just that only the two people who were at the minister's house in black knew the real decision on this matter.
This is definitely a real gamble.
At stake is most of the power and kingship of this mighty country.
Once they win, what they get is absolutely subversive.
But once they lose, they will lose everything including their lives.
But King Nanda did it anyway because he had no choice.
After King Nanda left the palace, he began to tour the world with great fanfare.
But in fact, the person sitting in the king's car has already been dropped.
This is an almost exact replica of King Nanda.
This exchange of civet cats for the prince was naturally arranged by the minister in black.
King Nanda toured the country, he only needed to sit in the king's chariot, and he didn't have to do anything else.
As long as he didn't take any action, even if many ministers in white were placed around him, they would definitely not do anything to him.
All they need is a puppet king. As long as the puppet king is obedient, it will be relatively free within their line of sight.
At this moment, the real King Nanda has actually arrived at the mouth of the sea.
After dressing up in disguise, he boarded a fast boat and headed towards Daqin.
This is a merchant ship returning to Daqin from India. Of course, this merchant ship does not belong to India, nor does it belong to Daqin.
Just a short stop in the port of India, King Nanda boarded the merchant ship.
After a while, the merchant ship docked at the Lingnan port of Daqin.
Because a war broke out between India and Daqin, the trade between the two countries was naturally interrupted.
At this moment, an Indian came down from the boat, which naturally aroused the great attention of the Lingnan port defenders.
So the matter was quickly reported to the chief by the defenders.
The officer came to the checkpoint and saw King Nanda in front of him.
With just one glance, he could see how extraordinary this person was. He followed Meng Tian all the year round, so naturally he was lucky enough to meet some dignitaries.
Those people have a natural temperament, and these temperaments cannot be easily imitated.
It's not something that can be easily hidden. In this Indian businessman, he saw that kind of luxurious temperament.
So he immediately concluded that this person must not be an ordinary Indian businessman.
Besides, at this point in time, how can Indian businessmen who dare to come to Daqin be ordinary?
So the officer directly asked, "What's the point of planning to come to Daqin?"
