Chapter 1079: Our Majesty Yuanwu is wise and powerful
This journey was covered with stars and moons, traveling day and night, alternating between land and water, and Meng Hong basically never stopped.
We have been away for three months, and it is already November. At this time, you have to wear cotton-padded clothes when going to the capital, but you can wear light clothes when going to Wangjing.
Meng Hong is no stranger to this place, this is already his third time here.
He was arranged to enter the post house and was told that he would be summoned by Emperor Jianwu of Wei Jun tomorrow.
It seems that Wei Jun is anxious.
By this time, they should have learned about the movements of the border guards.
I didn't hear any noise along the way. It must have been suppressed by Wei Jun.
Meng Hong knew that his coming this time was not to discuss alliances like before, but to threaten!
He didn't know what the outcome would be.
Before leaving, His Majesty asked to meet Master Wukong if there was a chance.
Master Wukong came to Wei to preach in the past few years. The last time he sent a message was at the beginning of the year. Your Majesty was worried about his safety.
I don't know if I can see it. Master Wukong has been traveling everywhere, but he can't find it just right.
Meng Hong himself was not sure he could return to Daning safely.
The stack of handwritten letters from Wei merchants that he brought with him would probably make Wei Jun furious.
Meng Hong stopped thinking too much. He was tired for days and finally had a good sleep.
Early the next morning, Wei officials knocked on his door.
"Mr. Meng, Your Majesty has summoned you to come into the palace with me."
"It's time to work."
Meng Hong carried a small wooden box and followed him into the Wei Palace alone. He was led directly to the Wenhua Palace.
"The box is open."
The palace guards at the door conduct routine inspections.
He opened the box and found a letter inside.
The guard looked at him in surprise.
"Go in."
Checked correctly.
Meng Hong walked in.
There were only two people in the empty palace, Song Taiping, the Prime Minister of Wei.
Saw it twice before.
Another person is Ji Chuan, the new king of Wei who is sitting behind the Long Case.
He had seen it before, but Himekawa was still the prince at that time, but now he is the emperor...
Meng Hong stepped forward calmly and saluted in a neither humble nor overbearing manner: "Meng Hong, the envoy of Daning, is here to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor. Is His Majesty's bow well received?"
"Bang!"
However, at this time Himekawa took pictures of the Dragon case.
"You are so brave!"
Ji Chuan stood up and Long Yan was furious.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
If it had been anyone else, they would have been so frightened that they would have been shaking physically and mentally.
Meng Hong stood up calmly.
"I wonder why His Majesty the Emperor is angry?"
"Why?"
Ji Chuan said coldly: "Your Daning army frequently performs military exercises, repeatedly crosses the border to provoke, and sends a fleet of skeletons ashore to rob our Wei people... Please give me an explanation. If you can't explain clearly, then you don't have to go back.
!”
"I have been appointed as a special envoy by His Majesty Yuanwu of our dynasty. I am here to visit the State of Wei. I am not here to explain, but to question!"
Meng Hong took a step forward.
"On behalf of His Majesty Yuanwu, I will ask Emperor Jianwu why Wei State is dumping luxury goods on our country, and why it is sending a large number of merchants to Daning to purchase copper and iron, thus destroying the foundation of our dynasty!"
Hear this.
Ji Chuan and Song Taiping are both inner signs.
The two looked at each other without trace.
They guessed correctly, Daning really saw through the plot...
"Is there any evidence for what Mr. Meng said?"
Song Taiping said directly: "Our country of Wei is indeed well-developed in commerce. Merchants go to Daning to trade with each other and exchange what they need. This is beneficial to both countries. Business and trade involve many things, and merchants are free to do whatever they want. What does it have to do with my country of Wei?"
relation?"
"When Daning is strong, it uses excuses to oppress and seek opportunities to provoke, but we, the State of Wei, do not allow others to put pressure on us."
Song Taiping came to Meng Hong.
"We have long heard that Daning is arrogant, but now a small envoy dares to speak nonsense in front of His Majesty. Who gave you the courage!"
He scolded directly.
Although the plot was discovered, whether or not he recognized it is another matter.
Momentum must be shown.
If the envoy realizes that he is in the wrong as soon as he mentions it, and feels that he is bowing his head to others, isn't this being easily manipulated by Daning?
What he said is correct.
This envoy is indeed arrogant. This is because he is in Wei State, not Daning.
"It is true that I am just a small envoy, a humble person in front of Emperor Jianwu, but I am acting on behalf of His Majesty Yuanwu, how can I be subservient and lose my reputation?"
Meng Hong said in a low voice: "What's more, it was you, Wei, who offended you first. How could I, Daning, come to force you to do so?"
"I have already said that this matter is clearly Daning's opportunity to stir up trouble."
"Lord Song, what you mean is that the behavior of merchants has nothing to do with Wei State?"
Meng Hong raised his eyebrows.
"You, the people of Daning, came to my country, Wei, to commit murders. Could it be that my country, Wei, would blame the Daning court for this?"
Song Taiping asked back: "There is no such truth in the world."
“If you dare to do it, don’t admit it.”
Meng Hong shook his head and said: "Wei has fallen to this point..."
"The little envoy is uttering arrogant words!"
Himekawa's expression turned cold.
The connotation of these words was too strong, and he clearly looked down upon the state of Wei. He was the king of a country, how could he listen to it.
"Since I, Daning, have spoken out, I am not saying it without any basis, but I have solid evidence."
Meng Hong said: "You have colluded with Xiao Luan, a remnant of Daning's previous dynasty and the sixth son of Emperor Longjing. Under his instruction, Daning Jishi Hall has become a dark den for selling luxury incense!"
"Master Song should know best what luxury fragrance is. If you smoke it for a long time, you will become addicted to it, paralyze your mind, and ruin your life. Your Wei State obtained it from abroad, but sold it to Daning through Wei merchants, ruining our dynasty.
The upper echelons of power!”
"I'm afraid your original intention was to visit His Majesty Yuanwu, but I, Your Majesty, are wise and powerful and were not moved by it. We cracked down hard when we first discovered it. However, we repeatedly banned it and kept circulating. Only then did we realize that it was you, the Wei State, who borrowed Jishitang
sell."
Hear this.
Although Song Taiping was expressionless, his heart was filled with turmoil.
What you said is correct!
This shows that Daning indeed has evidence.
"Jishitang has been sealed. After rigorous investigation and scrutiny, we have obtained tangible evidence."
Meng Hong's words.
Song Taiping's expression darkened a bit.
But what he was more concerned about was, how could a young emperor like Emperor Yuanwu refuse new things, and how could he know the harm and only attack them when he first discovered them?
It also took Wei a long time to know this.
"As for the fact that Wei merchants came to our Daning to purchase copper and iron at high prices, it was also quickly discovered by our Majesty Yuanwu. You wanted to take the opportunity to lure the people and make them abandon their wasteland and not farm, destroying the foundation of our Daning, rather than selling luxury goods."
It smells so good, but it’s even more abominable!”
Meng Hong stared at Song Taiping closely.
"How can I, His Majesty Yuanwu, be so wise and powerful as to be deceived by these little tricks? What you think is that the common people are tempted by interests and cannot be restrained or controlled. That is a big mistake!"
Meng Hong said calmly: "Just before I set off, the border between Wei and Daning had been sealed, and His Majesty Yuanwu of our court had issued an order to severely arrest the Wei merchants in Daning. It is true that we cannot control the people.
Chapter completed!
