Chapter 62 Let the Spring Festival work overtime? How hateful!
In front of Yangxin Hall, Feng Bao hurried over.
Standing in front of the palace door, he looked at the closed door of Yangxin Palace, and then asked softly to the little eunuch waiting beside him:
"Where is your Majesty?"
When the young eunuch heard this, he quickly said:
"His Majesty just ordered us to bring in a basin of clean water and asked if we wanted to wash our hands! Then, he didn't summon the slaves again."
When Feng Bao heard this, he frowned, glared at the unintelligent little eunuch, and asked in a low voice:
"What I'm asking is how your Majesty is feeling now!"
When the little eunuch heard this, he trembled quickly and said with a bitter face:
"This little one hasn't gone in to serve you yet, how would you know..."
Hearing this, Feng Bao once again glared at this stupid little eunuch.
Fortunately, His Majesty is not cruel in temper, otherwise sending this thing here will anger Long Yan sooner or later!
Feng Bao took a deep breath, straightened his robes, and then said respectfully in front of the palace door:
"Slave, please see Your Majesty!"
A moment later, Xiao Cheng's voice came from the Yangxin Hall.
"Come in!"
Well, His Majesty's voice is calm and his mood seems to be average...
Feng Bao gritted his teeth, quickly walked into the Yangxin Hall, knelt down and leaned on the ground, and said loudly:
"Slave, please pay homage to Your Majesty!"
Xiao Cheng's eyes at this time did not look at Feng Bao, but looked at the air in front of him and said casually:
"Get up!"
At this time, in the sight that ordinary people could not see, the blue card was blooming with dazzling light, filling Xiao Cheng's sight.
【Blue training card, collection of cleansing of wrongs
Card effect: After using it, you will get the famous minister "Song Ci"
Card explanation: Prison matters should not be more important than great rectification, great rectification should not be more important than first love, and first love should not be more important than testing.
Song Ci, courtesy name Huifu, Han nationality, native of Jianyang, descendant of Song Jing, Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, was born in the 13th year of Chunxi, Emperor Xiaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty. He was a famous forensic scientist in the Southern Song Dynasty. He pioneered "forensic identification" and was revered as the originator of forensic medicine.
Force 20, Literature 82, Wisdom 89, Morality 95, Age 28, Dominance 32, Politics 75, Charisma 80, Loyalty 100, Ambition 60]
Xiao Cheng looked at this card and suddenly thought of the stubborn and inhumane Song Ci when he was watching the TV series.
It's good. There must be people like this in the imperial court. I guess he and Hai Rui will have something in common.
With a thought, the blue card suddenly turned into a ray of light and escaped.
Xiao Cheng lowered his head and looked at Feng Bao, who was still kneeling on the ground without getting up. He frowned and asked in a deep voice:
"Well, what's going on? Didn't the errand go well?"
Feng Bao swallowed his saliva and said:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Dongchang has searched Jixia Academy many times, and the list of students has been submitted to Your Majesty. I really can't find anyone else..."
Xiao Cheng frowned slightly when he heard this.
He asked Feng Bao to check the students of Jixia Academy, naturally in order to find the famous official who emerged after the effect of Jixia Academy was triggered.
Xiao Cheng now only knows that this effect has been triggered. As for the famous ministers who have been refreshed, there is no clue at all. He can only ask Feng Bao's Dongchang to use a stupid method to send the list of students to Xiao Cheng, so that
Xiao Cheng looked for a familiar name.
It's just that Dongchang is almost turning over Jixia Academy, but Xiao Cheng still can't find a familiar name on the list.
Maybe it's like Yang Xuanyan, because he is uneducated and didn't recognize it? Or maybe, the famous ministers who came out of Jixia Academy were not in Jixia Academy at all?
But in fact, Xiao Cheng is not that worried.
Xiao Cheng has summoned many talents through Golden Finger for more than a year, and he already has a certain understanding of the mechanism of Golden Finger.
The famous ministers refreshed by Goldfinger all have the effect of having full loyalty at the beginning. Although it is not constant, at least for the time being, you don't have to worry about betrayal after summoning.
The famous minister this time is most likely still on his way to Yun Kingdom.
Feng Bao raised his head cautiously and whispered:
"Your Majesty, don't you know the name of the scholar you are looking for this time?"
After Xiao Cheng heard this, he came back to his senses, waved his hand to Feng Bao, and said:
"Forget it if you can't find it out. Just let Dongchang pay attention from now on! By the way, Dongchang will find someone else this time!"
Hearing that he was looking for someone again, Feng Bao's heart suddenly jumped.
"Look for a scholar named Song Ci. Once you find him, send him to see me!"
When Feng Bao heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Just have a name, just have a name! As long as there is a name, as long as this person is in the Yun Kingdom, with Dongchang's current intelligence strength, it is not that difficult to find him.
Like before, it is difficult to find someone who is only known to appear in Jixia Academy!
Feng Bao quickly bowed and said respectfully:
"Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. I will not disappoint Your Majesty this time!"
Xiao Cheng nodded, stood up, suddenly thought of something, and said:
"By the way, speaking of which, the Xia State delegation should arrive today!"
When Feng Bao heard this, he nodded quickly and said:
"Yes, Mr. Li Cao Zhang has already organized people to greet him!"
When Xiao Cheng heard this, he smacked his lips and said without much interest:
"Oh, how annoying it is. If you don't come early, you won't come later. Come just in time for the New Year!"
You have to deal with state affairs on weekdays. You finally have a holiday during the Spring Festival, but someone comes over and forces you to work overtime. How annoying you are!
Feng Bao stood up, laughed twice, and did not answer.
-------------------
"Wow, this is Zhongqing City! I've only heard people say that it's like spring here all year round. It's much better than Jinling City." The elegant-looking palace maid poked her head out of the luxurious carriage and looked at the majestic towering towers ahead.
city, eyes lit up slightly.
Nan Jiyun, who was guarding the carriage, heard the exclamation of Palace Maid Qingli. He turned around slightly and glanced at her. He looked thoughtful and didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
King Qi was riding at the front of the mission's convoy. Looking at the majestic city walls surrounding Zhongqing City in front of him, he narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed softly:
"In terms of the majesty of the walls of Zhongqing City, it is not inferior to Jinling City. It is indeed the capital of the Yun Kingdom for 600 years... If I have the opportunity to lead troops to the city in person, I am afraid that I will also have a headache.
ah."
Zhou Quan, the bodyguard beside him, was startled when he heard this. He glanced around twice, and after making sure that no one else heard it, he said helplessly:
"Your Highness, it's better not to say this again once you enter Zhongqing City. After all, Your Highness came here this time on His Majesty's orders, for the sake of peace talks between the two countries..."
When King Qi heard this, he spread his hands and said nothing more.
Naturally, the Yun State court had received the news of such a big movement from the mission. Zhang Zhao led a group of officials from the Yun State and waited at the city gate very early.
I saw the convoy of the Xia Kingdom's envoys, escorted by the Yun Kingdom's imperial army, slowly approaching the city gate.
Zhang Zhao straightened his clothes and led the Li Cao officials forward.
In the astonished look of the Xia State envoy, Zhang Zhao ignored King Qi in front of the envoy and led a group of officials directly to the carriage guarded by Nan Jiyun. He knelt down on the ground and shouted in unison:
"My lord, please pay homage to Emperor Rouning!"
If the two countries were on equal terms, officials from one country would not kneel down to worship the emperor of the other country, let alone the fact that there was only a Xia princess in the carriage.
But the identity of Emperor Rouning is now different. The half of the Yun Kingdom Queen's honor guard behind the carriage she is riding in already represents Xiao Cheng's intention.
Zhang Zhao and others were not visiting the Princess of Xia as ministers of the Yun Kingdom, but the concubines of the harem as ministers.
At this time, King Qi, who was being deliberately ignored by Zhang Zhao and other officials from the Yun Kingdom, narrowed his eyes slightly. The officials and guards of the mission also frowned.
Needless to say, this is the power of the Yun Kingdom Court!
In fact, speaking of it, King Qi also knew that he was the commander-in-chief of the Xia Kingdom who had previously led an attack on the northern border of the Yun Kingdom, so he would definitely suffer some injustice when he came to the Yun Kingdom to seek peace.
He had also anticipated the scene in front of him, but he was still able to adjust at this time and did not get angry.
After a moment of silence, a gentle voice was heard from the luxurious carriage guarded by Nan Jiyun himself:
"Quickly settle down! Now that the contract between the two countries is about to be signed, all of you are the pillars of the country and are busy with important matters. It is not convenient for me to waste time here. There is no need to be polite in the future!"
This gentle voice can't help but make people feel good about her. In addition, the words of Emperor Rou Ning are also very appropriate, which makes the officials of the Yun Kingdom who are greeting her have a good impression of this emperor.
"Thank you, Princess Rouning!" After everyone responded respectfully, they all stood up.
After all, the two countries were in a relationship, so they couldn't really lose their decency. After being given a warning, Zhang Zhao led a group of officials to King Qi, bowed and said:
"Dayunli Cao Shangshu Zhang Zhao, pays homage to His Highness King Xia Guoqi!"
King Qi looked at Zhang Zhao who was bowing respectfully in front of him, calmed down his mood, then put a smile on his face and praised:
"Master Zhang Zhao, who presided over the imperial examination of Yun State before? I have heard of Master Zhang's reputation for a long time. When I see him today, he is well-deserved!"
Although King Qi is from the royal family of Daxia, he was not taken seriously in his early years. He has been accustomed to the hypocritical way of getting along with everyone in the palace since he was a child. Although he doesn't like this way of getting along with him, if he really wants to be polite,
That is also a familiar road.
Seeing King Qi's extremely hypocritical appearance, which was very different from his usual carefree appearance, the deputy envoy of the mission on the side breathed a sigh of relief.
But after all, it was King Qi who gave people the impression of being unruly. The deputy envoy quickly got off his horse and led the envoys to bow slightly to Zhang Zhao and other Yun officials, and then said:
"Feng Chu, deputy envoy of the Great Xia Mission, led the mission and met all the lords of the Yun Kingdom!"
Zhang Zhao bowed slightly, returning the courtesy to everyone, and then said:
"Emperor Rouning, His Royal Highness Prince Qi, and all your lords, it has been a hard journey all the way. Your Majesty is considerate and has arranged the reception banquet for noon tomorrow, and will go with all the officials to celebrate the New Year. The State Guest House has been prepared. Please invite all of you today.
Rest peacefully!”
It was a coincidence that the Xia State delegation arrived in Beijing on the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month.
Speaking of which, on the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, all government offices in the Yun State sealed their seals, and there was originally a seven-day rest period. Because of the arrival of the Xia State envoy, Zhang Zhao and a group of officials had to work overtime.
Well, Zhang Zhao is a worthy official, no better than a social beast...
Feng Chu, deputy envoy of the Xia State Mission, heard this and quickly took over the topic:
"I would like to ask Mr. Zhang to wait for the foreign ministers for me. Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor Yun, for your understanding!"
Zhang Zhao nodded slightly and immediately led the Xia State envoy into the capital of Yun State.
The Xia State mission was so large, and Zhang Zhao and other court officials had been waiting for a long time, so the people in the city actually knew about the Xia State delegation entering the city.
At this time, many people had gathered on both sides of the road, watching the Xia State envoy.
Among the crowd, someone pointed at King Qi at the front of the mission and whispered:
"Did you see it? The one at the front who looks very strong is King Xia Guoqi!"
"King Qi? Is he the one who led the attack on the Yun Kingdom and then fled after being defeated by General Cheng Zhenbei?"
"Hey, yes, yes, it's him!"
"Tell me, you insist on going to war with our country, Yun. If you lose, you will have to send your sisters to marry our Majesty. You think this is what you asked for!"
Having said this, a burst of joking laughter burst out from the crowd.
King Qi sat on the horse, feeling the people of Yun Kingdom pointing at him and making no secret of their ridicule. His face became a little gloomy, and his right hand holding the reins tightened suddenly.
The veins on the back of the hand were exposed due to excessive exertion.
Compared with the intimidation of the officials of the Yun State, the humiliation that was almost parading on the street made King Qi remember it more deeply.
Although he had been prepared in his mind before, when he faced such a scene, King Qi almost couldn't restrain himself.
Zhou Quan next to King Qi was breathing heavily, his face was red from holding back, and his red eyes glanced at the people on the street from time to time, flashing a hint of murderous intent from time to time.
"It turns out that this is what my father wanted me to feel. Really, I almost couldn't hold it back..." King Qi took a deep breath and said softly to Zhou Quan.
"Your Highness, the general is incompetent..." Zhou Quan lowered his head slightly and said with shame.
"It has nothing to do with you!"
King Qi paused for a moment, then his expression became fierce and he gritted his teeth and said:
"If my father hadn't been overly cautious and refused to ruthlessly punish the generals in the southwest, why would I have done it myself, deliberately taking advantage of the opportunity to attack the Yun Kingdom to consume the generals' power? If it weren't for this reason, I would have led the troops to devour the north of the Yun Kingdom.
In this situation, Yun Guo had no chance to react, so how could he be humiliated today?"
If King Qi hadn't deliberately asked the generals of the Southwest General Gate to lead their own troops to attack the city, and then sit back and watch them consume the troops in their hands, the northern counties of Yun State would not have been able to hold on to Cheng Bushi's rescue.
One wrong step, one wrong step after another, and this led to the subsequent disastrous defeat and today's humiliation!
They all talked about the current Emperor Xia, so Zhou Quan was naturally unable to speak anymore and fell silent immediately.
King Qi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"I didn't want to fight for that position, but my father insisted on making me realize how important that position is... Haha, I am really full of checks and balances. It is not enough to use it on the courtiers, even on my own son.
, also use this hand."
Zhang Zhao, who was not far from King Qi, could not help but cough slightly, as if to tell King Qi that he was not deaf and could hear.
It seems like this shouldn’t be said here, right?
King Qi glanced at Zhang Zhao, looking indifferent, as if these words were said to him on purpose.
Just as Zhang Zhao was passing by an intersection, he suddenly looked at King Qi, raised his finger and pointed to the left, saying:
"Your Highness King Qi, please look!"
King Qi looked in the direction pointed by Zhang Zhao and saw a convoy of prison cars parked at the intersection, quietly making way for the Xia State Mission convoy.
The people in the prison van were all sluggish, but the bald heads and scars on their heads made it easy for others to identify them.
Monk!
King Qi looked at Zhang Zhao and asked pretending to be puzzled:
"This is?"
"My Majesty, Dayun, cannot bear the suffering of the people from the war again, and is extremely concerned about the peace talks between the two countries. These people are the evil Buddhist gang who intend to assassinate Emperor Rouning. Now they have all been arrested, and the evidence of their crimes is conclusive and unforgivable.
.To show my sincerity, Dayun, these evil parties and some evidence of their crimes can be handed over to His Highness King Qi for verification and disposal!" Zhang Zhao said solemnly.
King Qi frowned and looked at the monks in the prison car again, but said nothing.
It seems that the Emperor of Yun Kingdom has taken this opportunity to completely eliminate Buddhism. From now on, nothing in Yun Kingdom can compete with his imperial power!
After a moment, King Qi curled his lips and chuckled:
"Since these people are evil members of the Buddhist sect of the Yun Kingdom, how can I, the king, overstep my authority? Anyway, the emperor's sister has not even been frightened. It is up to the Yun Kingdom to deal with them on their own!"
Zhang Zhao lowered his head slightly and said respectfully:
"Thank you for your understanding, His Majesty King Qi! As long as the contract is signed, the two countries of Yunxia and Xia will never be at war again."
"Hehehe..." King Qi chuckled meaningfully.
Among the crowd, a man with ragged clothes and gray hair stood out.
At this time, the man was staring at King Qi who was in the Xia Kingdom's envoy. His left hand kept stroking the gorgeous sword in his hand, which was very inconsistent with his figure at this time.
The man's expression was quite complicated, as if he was hesitating about something, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes from time to time.
In the mission's motorcade, Nan Jiyun, who was guarding the gorgeous carriage, suddenly sharpened his eyes and looked towards the man's position. His hand subconsciously touched the long bow hanging on the horse.
Invisibly, the sharp Qi machine instantly locked onto the man, and the pressure of the ninth-level master followed, like a thousand pounds of iron, pressing directly on his body, causing him to stiffen.
Obviously, I have been discovered!
Feeling the coercion of the ninth-level master and the Yun Kingdom's imperial guards guarding the convoy, the man took a deep breath.
Can't beat it!
Forget it, taking action at this time can certainly prevent the peace talks between Yun and Xia. But doing so will also end your own path in the Yun State. Without the support of the Yun State's national strength, you will no longer be able to avenge your family feud.
!
In a moment, the man had already made a weighing decision in his mind.
He relaxed his hands slightly and took a few steps back, away from the Xia State envoy.
As soon as the thoughts are gone, the murderous intention disappears.
Nan Jiyun took a deep look at the man and loosened the long bow in his hand.
