Chapter five hundred and twenty fourth court meeting
The next day, there will be a court meeting.
The courtiers reported very few matters today, and they were handled quickly.
After the affairs were dealt with, no one asked to withdraw from the court, and they all stood quietly at their seats and waited.
Zhao Jin raised his eyelids and glanced at Shou Quan, who was standing beside him.
The other party understood, took a step forward, and said loudly in a high-pitched voice: "The envoy of Li Long Kingdom is here to see you!"
"It is passed down that the envoys of the Long State are here to pay an audience!"
The sound spread from inside the hall to outside the hall.
Among the five envoys who established the Long Kingdom, Wanyan Shiyi and Da Gan walked in the front, and the other three followed behind them.
Zhao Jin stood beside the dragon chair, condescendingly looking down at the expressions of the five people.
The two people at the front had very different expressions. One was calm and reserved, while the other's eyes were full of disdain and contempt.
Among the three people following them, except for one general who looked impatient, the other two did not show much emotion just from their expressions.
It seems that the two people with the most obvious expressions are the best to deal with.
Zhao Jin's hand behind his back twisted his index finger and thumb, narrowed his eyes slightly, and made no sound.
"I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Zhao."
The five of them only bent down and saluted. Wanyan Shiyi only moved his waist, not even bending down.
"Bold!" Shou Quan shouted sharply, with a high-pitched voice, "You can't kneel down and bow when you see His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Wanyan Shiyi's face suddenly darkened, and he snorted coldly, "He is the prince and not the emperor of Zhao. Why do we need to kneel down and pay homage?"
"What's more," Wanyan Shiyi flicked his sleeves and said with great arrogance: "I am the special agent of the Long Kingdom, Wanyan Shiyi!"
Special Qin refers specifically to nobles related to the royal family in the Lilong Kingdom.
And "Wanyan" is the national surname of Lilong Kingdom. It is obvious that Wanyan Shiyi is a member of the royal family of Lilong Kingdom.
After Wanyan Shiyi finished speaking, some courtiers had expressionless faces, while others were slightly shocked, but the former were far more common than the latter.
Especially when the officials saw the arrogance on Wanyan Shiyi's face.
While the officials were observing Wanyan Shiyi and others, Dagan and the others were also observing the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty in Zhao. When they noticed something strange in their expressions, Dagan frowned slightly.
It seemed that Zhao Guo was more powerful than he thought. Just as he was trying to smooth things over, a civil servant at the front of the official team suddenly spoke.
"The special service of the Long Kingdom was established, but in the Zhao Kingdom, you are just an envoy, let alone."
Cen Qianyi tilted his head and glanced at Wanyan Shiyi without any emotion at all, leaving it to Li Longguo, "If I remember correctly, Lilongguo came here to apologize."
"That's right!" Xu Zihao's attitude was a bit tougher than that of Cen Qianyi, and he said angrily: "Is this your attitude of apologizing? I have really seen it!"
For a moment, the court hall was filled with the whispers of courtiers, buzzing around the five envoys.
Wanyan Shiyi's face turned even more ugly. He just opened his mouth and said, "You guys..."
Zhao Jin raised his hand and interrupted him coldly, "What the envoys, the Prime Minister and the Grand Tutor said is reasonable. Since you are here to apologize, it's better to act like you're apologizing."
Star eyes looked sharply and coldly at Dagan who raised his eyes below.
Da Gan looked at Zhao Jin, the deeds of the prince of Zhao Kingdom. He had heard a lot about it, but this was the first time he saw the real person.
"What His Royal Highness the Prince said is true. We are indeed here to apologize this time." Da Gan stopped Wanyan Shiyi who was still about to speak.
"However, His Royal Highness and the courtiers are too aggressive. Isn't it bad?"
Wanyan Shiyi snorted from the side and said, "No, they..."
However, this time, he still couldn't say it completely.
Because Dagan turned his head and looked at him with a warning, a threat, in short, telling him to shut up.
How had Wanyan Shiyi ever suffered such grievances?
But the other party happened to be Da Gan, a confidant of the new emperor Wan Yanbai. He was on the wrong team before, and now he is still remembered by the new emperor. He could only put his tail between his legs and swallow his dissatisfaction, so as not to offend Da Gan.
Dry.
"Aggressive?" Zhao Jin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it possible that when you come to apologize, you and your lords alone should stand in the way to welcome me?"
Even though Dagan had always been indifferent to emotions and anger, his face stiffened for a moment at Zhao Jin's words.
"His Royal Highness, you are joking."
Da Gan bypassed the topic and said directly: "We really didn't know about pretending to be a queen at first. When we found out about it later, the other party had been pretending to be a queen in the palace for quite some time."
"It was never revealed later. I believe His Highness the Crown Prince can understand the reason." Dagan smiled slightly.
He bent towards Zhao Jin again and said sincerely: "However, this matter is ultimately about the establishment of the Long Kingdom, so I brought a gift to make amends."
"Hakemu."
The man standing behind Wanyan Shiyi stood up, first bent slightly to signal, then Hakemu took out a piece of paper from his arms, unfolded it and read directly:
"To express our apology, we established the Long Kingdom and specially compensated the Zhao Kingdom for five thousand shi of grain, 10,000 horses, five thousand taels of silver, and five hundred taels of gold."
Zhao Jin's hand that was originally behind his back naturally dropped and he raised his eyes, "No more?"
The courtiers below also looked at the five envoys in great astonishment.
Da Gan explained helplessly, "Your Highness, the establishment of Long State has experienced foreign wars and internal strife, so it is somewhat exhausted. Moreover, the establishment of Long State is not rich in the first place, so it can only increase the number of horses."
"I can't see your sincerity in apologizing." Zhao Jin said with a cold face and a light voice.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Da Gan's attitude also hardened, "Our sincerity is already here. Now that both Lilong and Zhao are riddled with holes, why bother to quarrel with each other?"
"Besides, for some reason the emperor of the Zhao Kingdom did not attend the court meeting, but His Highness the Crown Prince presided over it instead?"
Zhao Jin did not accept the other party's threat at all, raised his eyelids, and said coldly: "First of all, I don't see your sincerity."
"Secondly, my father was seriously ill in bed because he was poisoned by the thieves of Lilong Kingdom. Will Lilong Kingdom send us this thing?"
As he spoke, Zhao Jin walked down the imperial steps, each word louder than the last. When the last word fell, he was already in front of Da Gan.
"Or is it that Li Long looks down on Zhao and thinks we really won't break up with each other?"
At this time, the five people all looked slightly surprised. When they inquired about the news last night, they did have a vague guess, but now the guess was confirmed, Zhao Qian was indeed seriously ill in bed.
The five of them couldn't help but be stunned.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has spoken seriously."
Hakemu smiled and smoothed things over, "We have no such intention. I can understand that His Highness the Crown Prince is in a bad mood, but this compensation is not easy to come up with given the current situation of Lilong Kingdom."
