"They tricked us into coming here, so what's their purpose?"
Xia Nianqiao's curiosity was also aroused.
Lin Yiqiu shook his head, and then said: "I'm not sure, but we will have an answer to this matter soon."
"According to the time, how many days will the banquet be in?"
He asked suddenly.
Cang Hong did not hesitate.
"Two days later, Emperor Wu should hold a banquet in the court hall. According to the rules, all ministers will attend."
"Well, let's wait two days to find out what the Emperor of Wu says and see what he thinks!"
"There is also the father-in-law! You must be more careful with him!"
Lin Yiqiu reminded again.
Cang Hong hummed.
"Don't worry, I've already told my people that there will be ten people on duty in this mansion in rotation day and night every day."
"Don't say it's a killer, even mosquitoes will never be allowed to fly in!"
With Cang Hong's guarantee, I feel a lot more relieved.
In addition, Lin Yiqiu himself is also a master-level expert, so the two of them can easily solve most accidents!
In the past two days, Cang Hong also led people to continue to explore the Ming Prison from time to time, hoping to find opportunities to sneak in.
But Xiao Ceyun seemed to have sensed it, and actually lived in Ming Prison himself.
It was obvious that he was also on guard against Cang Hong.
Although Lin Yiqiu found this troublesome, it also showed one thing.
That means that for Xia Lingfeng's current situation, at least he is not in danger, and the people from the Zhenfu Department will not do anything to him.
The next step is to wait for the banquet to begin and take the initiative to spy on the attitude of the Emperor of Wu!
Two days later, at noon.
There was singing and dancing in the palace hall!
A group of ministers, dressed in red robes and crowns, rushed to the main hall one by one.
Among them, naturally, the abbot Pei Tianlin was included.
"Has everything been arranged?"
Before entering the main hall, he turned his head and asked the people below.
The subordinates responded repeatedly: "Don't worry, sir, we have made arrangements to ensure that we can kill this majestic envoy from the Kingdom of Qian!"
"Okay, then you go down first."
Pei Tianlin nodded with satisfaction and then entered the hall.
Emperor Wu had already sat in the main hall early. When he saw the abbot coming in, although his face was a little dark, he hid it very well.
At this time, Pei Tianlin was kneeling down to salute him.
"Your Majesty, Pei Tianlin, comes to see you."
Emperor Wu smiled.
"Master Zhang is already old, so there is no need to salute like this. Get up quickly."
"I thank your Majesty!"
Pei Tianlin stood up slowly.
Emperor Wu spoke again at this time: "I heard a few days ago that there were some conflicts between the Foreign Affairs Department and the people under the abbot because of the reception of the mission? Is this possible?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, these guys from the Zhenfu Department are short-sighted and they have exceeded the rules!"
Pei Tianlin answered calmly.
Emperor Wu chuckled and said, "This is because the emperor of the country has considered it for me, and it is not considered a mistake by the governor."
"As for this matter, I have already taught Chen Mohan of the Foreign Affairs Department a lesson, telling him to learn to avoid him when he meets the Zhenfu Department in the future. They are all doing things for the imperial court, so how can there be any conflict?"
These words sounded very upright and did not mean to target anyone.
But Pei Tianlin naturally didn't think so, and remained calm on the surface.
"Your Majesty is generous and generous, and I will bear this in mind."
"Master Zhang, please take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The two exchanged words secretly, but Pei Tianlin felt that the emperor's thoughts were becoming more and more difficult for him to guess.
Soon, the banquet began.
"Let the Qianguo envoy come in."
Emperor Wu waved his hands and said.
The eunuch next to him immediately bent down to accept the order and made a high-pitched voice.
"Invite the envoys of the Qian Kingdom to come to Hajj!"
The words fell, about ten breaths later.
Lin Yiqiu, Cang Hong and Xia Nianqiao, had slowly entered the court hall.
Originally, he didn't want to take Xia Nianqiao with him, but leaving her alone in the mansion, Lin Yiqiu was worried that something might happen to her.
So it is better to keep her with you so that you can control her.
At this time, as they entered the hall, the eyes of countless courtiers around them were already staring closely at the three of them!
And Emperor Wu's eyes fell on the leader Lin Yiqiu from the beginning to the end.
"What a handsome eunuch, no wonder Emperor Qian favors him so much!"
He thought to himself.
Lin Yiqiu and Cang Hong knelt down on the ground.
"Your Majesty Lin Yiqiu, along with the envoys, is here to see Your Majesty Wu Guosheng. Long live your Majesty!"
"Master Lin, please get up!"
Emperor Wu smiled and spoke.
"I have heard for a long time that Governor Lin is famous in the Qian Kingdom. It is said that Emperor Qian also has great trust in Governor Lin. The fact that I sent you here this time shows Emperor Qian's sincerity."
There is no depth to what he said. Emperor Wu seemed to be praising him, but he was indeed being polite.
But other people present didn't think so after hearing it.
Lin Yiqiu is the governor of the West Factory and his identity is a eunuch.
And the status of eunuchs, especially in the state of Wu, is even more humble and humble!
Therefore, Emperor Qian favored eunuchs, which in the eyes of the ministers of Wu State was simply a low-grade thing!
There were bursts of laughter.
Lin Yiqiu listened, his expression unchanged.
"Reporting to your majesty, our country of Qian has always treated people with courtesy, and your majesty, the emperor of our country of Qian, is a person who strictly abides by etiquette and rules."
"When it was decided to send an envoy to the State of Wu, all the courtiers originally had this intention, but His Majesty the Emperor first thought of me and thought that it would be most appropriate for me to come here."
"Although I am a eunuch, I am also knowledgeable about politics, so I dare not let down His Majesty the Emperor's trust!"
Lin Yiqiu responded with an understatement.
All the ministers present are human beings. How could they not understand?
Lin Yiqiu's meaning is very simple, that is, our Emperor Qian believes that eunuchs alone are enough to send envoys to your country of Wu.
There is no need to send other ministers!
At your level, you are only qualified to talk to eunuchs!
"It's interesting. I didn't expect this guy to be quite smart."
Emperor Wu only found it interesting.
Then, without saying any more, he waved his hand and said: "President Lin, please take a seat. Today's banquet is originally designed for the friendship between the two countries."
"Please, Governor Lin, please don't mind the simple meals here. These are already the highest standards of hospitality in our country of Wu."
"How dare you, I thank you!"
Lin Yiqiu continued to salute, and then sat down not far from Emperor Wu with Cang Hong and Xia Nianqiao.
The banquet has already begun.
Wine glasses were intertwined, and many dancing maids were also dancing gracefully in the hall!
However, Pei Tianlin's eyes flashed in the distance.
Then, he pretended to be drinking and quietly made a gesture.
Somewhere in the hall, someone suddenly understood.
Lin Yiqiu seemed to have noticed something. He remained calm and continued to drink politely with the ministers next to him.
And soon, a person stood up in the distance.
"I've heard for a long time that Governor Lin has learned a lot and is very famous in the Qian Kingdom. I wonder if this is the case?"
The person who spoke was Li Dongyang, a great scholar from the State of Wu. His literary talent could be said to be quite outstanding in the State of Wu!
Emperor Qian seemed to have a premonition of something and frowned.
Lin Yiqiu stood up with a smile.
"It's okay, it's just the best in the world in ancient times and today, it doesn't count." This chapter has been completed!
