Li Zhu's eyes passed through the window, along the spacious and straight imperial road, and extended to the palace gate in the distance.
There are still snowflakes falling from the sky. Several chamberlains are cleaning up the snowflakes that have fallen on the royal road. If they are not cleaned up in time, these snowflakes may soon turn into snow and then melt.
, turning the royal road slippery.
If any adult accidentally stumbles on this slippery royal road, maybe someone will fall to the ground.
"Jiang Wan's adopted sister has already arrived at Shen Quanyi's place, and Li Qianye also hurried over. If nothing else happens, the girl named Jiang Yanran will soon clearly understand the king's intention. She understands,
Jiang Wan, who is far away in Zhenjiang Fort, understands!"
In the Nuan Pavilion, the person who was talking softly to Li Zhu was Jin Changsheng. He was a man with the official title of participating in politics, but he was treated respectfully by the two political leaders on the left and right.
Li Zhu's favor towards Jin Changsheng has reached an extremely high level, which has caused a lot of speculation inside and outside the royal court, but no one knows the real reason.
"Have any news come back from the people sent to Beijing?"
Li Zhu was silent for a long time and asked slowly: "Counting the time, they have arrived in Beijing for a few days. Could it be said that they have not done anything serious?"
"I'm afraid the life of the mission will be very difficult!" Jin Changsheng shook his head slightly: "The latest news is that the court of the Ming Dynasty ignored our mission. When our mission arrived in Beijing, not only was there no official reception from the Ming Dynasty,
, even the Seiyi Pavilion of Honglu Temple has not been accommodated by our delegation. Now they have to find another private residence in the capital, and then they are trying to find a way to seek the Ming Emperor's summons!"
"So, do we have to directly contact this Jiang Wan?" Li Zhu sighed: "This person is arrogant and domineering, and he is extremely domineering. Compared to those Jin people, we are almost in contact with him.
Seeking skin from a tiger!”
"If you don't seek skin from the tiger, won't the tiger stop eating people?" Jin Changsheng said in a low voice: "Even if he doesn't eat people now, it means there are other ferocious beasts in front of the tiger. When he has no opponent, he will naturally eat people.
I’m full!”
"Ping'an Road and Xianjing Road, there are more than ten state capitals in these two roads. They don't have any money or food to hand over this year, right?" Li Shu was slightly worried: "However, the official salaries of these two roads, the gathering of victims, and the arsenal
For repairs, the royal court is still allocating the money and food to them. We have now reached such a humble level. We use our own money and food to support officials to do things for the people of Ming Dynasty. What else can they be dissatisfied about?"
"Your Majesty!" Jin Changsheng said with a serious look on his face: "We have always been humble in front of the people of Ming Dynasty, and we will continue to be humble!"
There was silence in the Nuan Pavilion, and the only sounds that could be heard were the howling of the wind outside, and the tinkling sound of the wind chimes under the eaves amidst the whistling sound.
"Go ahead and do what you said. If there is no surprise, don't bother me anymore!" Li Zhu seemed to be a little frustrated and shook his head: "Remember to beat the Shen family and the Li family, don't think
With people from the Ming Dynasty as their backers, they will no longer have me as the king in their eyes!"
"I understand! I have gone..."
The door curtain of Nuan Pavilion opened, and as Jin Changsheng walked out, a gust of cold wind came in, and Li Zhu couldn't help but shudder.
He felt that the chill was not just coming from his body, but more like it was coming from deep within his heart. It was sharp, cold, but unavoidable.
…
"No need to be shocked, no need to be shocked..."
Jiang Yanran was let to the main seat and accepted the visit from Shen Quanyi and Li Qianye with peace of mind. However, this time the meeting between the two seemed more grand.
Jiang Yanran knew very well in her heart that the respect the two people showed to her before was because she was Jiang Wan's adopted sister and the shopkeeper of Sihai Trading Company. The other party's respect was respectful, but they still put them on the same level as herself.
position, I feel that they have the right to talk to me on an equal footing.
However, the respect at this moment was the respect shown by the Ming Dynasty's vassal states to the high-ranking officials of the Celestial Kingdom. It was a sincere reverence. What they were in awe of was the huge empire behind Jiang Yanran's official position. Even though this empire is now somewhat weak, it is still
In the eyes of the North Korean officials, it was still a formidable behemoth and an irresistible existence.
"Now I am qualified to discuss state affairs with your Mr. Jin!" Jiang Yanran pursed her lips and smiled happily: "I will wait for him here. How about you invite him over?"
"This..." Li Qianye had a look of embarrassment on his face: "Master Jiang, Master Jin is probably still in the palace discussing things with our king. If we go to invite him, there is no guarantee that we can invite him over immediately.
No……"
He glanced at Shen Quanyi.
Shen Quanyi understood: "How about Lord Jiang staying here in Xiaguan for a few days, and we will bring the news there. As soon as Lord Jin is free, how about he come to see Lord Jiang immediately?"
Jiang Yanran nodded and said to Li Huamei behind her: "Then wait here for a few days until the weather gets better before going on the road. What do you think?"
"Just follow Miss's instructions!" Li Huamei said in a low voice: "But Miss, the guy kneeling outside, if you don't let him get up, even if he doesn't freeze to death, his hands and feet will probably be useless in the future.
, the people of the Shen family are still very useful to us!"
"Go ahead and say that I forgive him. If he doesn't know the rules and beats him to death on the spot again, he won't be spared as lightly as he was today!"
Although the words were said in a vicious tone, Shen Quanyi's face suddenly relaxed, knowing that his son's matter had been revealed. Although his son's contact with Miss Jiang was different from what he expected,
However, after this experience, Miss Jiang must have a deeper impression of herself and her son.
Having an impression is better than having no impression at all, especially now that he knew Jiang Yanran's identity, he felt even more certain about it.
"I will accompany General Li!" Shen Quanyi stood up: "I have to reprimand this little beast again and not give him the chance to offend Miss Li again!"
"It's okay!" Li Huamei's heroic face showed a natural smile: "Our lady said that next time, she will be beaten to death on the spot!"
The smile on Shen Quanyi's face became very forced, which forced him to lower his head. He took advantage of this opportunity to let the expression on his face become more natural.
Looking up, he saw Li Huamei looking at him curiously.
"What's wrong, General Li!"
"You seem to be a little disapproving!" Li Huamei looked at him and said seriously: "Our lady said that if there is a next time, I will kill him on the spot, even if he hides in the palace, I will lead people to catch him.
Beat him to death in front of him!"
She said word by word: "Our lady doesn't like to joke, and I don't like to joke either!"
