Chapter 13 The envoy from the State of Yi is here (Part 1) The envoy from the State of Yi is here!
Hearing the news, Mo Ju, who had always shown no emotion or anger, suddenly stood up from his seat. He walked a few steps and grabbed the messenger's collar and asked urgently: "Is this letter accurate? Who's here?
who?"
The junior colonel was frightened and stammered: "That's right... that's right. After my general received the customs clearance document handed over by the envoy of Yi State, he immediately sent a villain to deliver the letter to the military advisor. The envoy was... it was Yi State's envoy.
The Minister of Rites is equivalent to our... Secretary of Rites..."
Mo Ju already understood the newly established official system of the Yi State, so he interrupted him and said: "I know this, please tell me your name."
"It's Mr. Xiqunxi."
"Oh..." A smile appeared on Mo Ju's face. He had met Xi Qun once and knew that this was He Ran's most trusted attendant. He Ran gave him the official position of Minister of Etiquette and sent him on an upright mission.
its intention.
He waved the messenger away and sat down slowly. He Ran finally sent someone, and Mo Ju felt very warm in his heart. He had already known the news that Yi Guo kept sending envoys to urge Zhao Guo to send troops to attack Shun Guo during this period.
, without He Ran's restraint from behind, the Kang State with its treacherous ministers and chaotic government would not have been so safe and sound. Therefore, knowledgeable people from both the government and the public praised the military advisor He for his kindness and righteousness to the Kang State. He sent Xi Qun here.
, will there be any good strategies secretly taught to him? Thinking of this, Mo Ju sighed softly, He Ran is so capable, but after all, he is thousands of miles away, how can he influence things here?
Well, I only hope that his sending envoys this time can arouse the Queen Mother's longing for him and bring some clarity. This is already the best result.
He thought so, but Mo Ju couldn't hold back the rising hope in his heart, hoping that He Ran could magically bring a turn of events to Kang Guo. No one could explore the depth of his brother, maybe...
After thinking about it, Mo Ju raised his voice and summoned three messengers from the Military Advisor's Office. After giving secret instructions and watching them leave quickly, he felt a little more at ease. No matter what, he had to ensure that the envoys of Yi State arrived safely in Germany.
Chang, he asked himself whether he could do this. After all, he was still the military advisor of Kang State. No matter how bold those rebellious ministers were, they would not dare to openly show their faces and endanger the people the military advisor government wanted to protect. Moreover, they were still envoys of the Yi State. Xi Qun was on his way
The more flamboyant you are, the safer you will be.
As He Ran expected, although Mo Ju was forbearing, he was definitely not waiting for death, so he asked Xi Qun to submit documents to the border of Kang state in an upright manner. He believed that Mo Ju would get the news before those traitors, and some
With the ability to protect Xi Qun, he arrived in Dechang safely and met Qi Min. Things developed as he expected. After Xi Qun entered the Kang state, troops were stationed along the road to take over the escort, beating gongs and drums to show grandeur, and local officials came from time to time.
Blocking the road to greet him, these people either remembered the old friendship with He Ran or the recent help from the Yi State, and some of them were instructed by Mo Ju. Therefore, not long after Xi Qun entered the Kang State, Dechang spread the news
The situation was aroused. When Ju Ran and his group received the news, although they were extremely reluctant to meet the Yi State envoys, it was clear that there was nothing they could do about the situation.
When Qi Min heard that Yi Guo's envoy was coming, she immediately went to the court to receive him. When she saw Xi Qun, she showed a bright smile and said in a friendly tone: "Secretary Xi, you really have a prosperous official career. It seems that Commander He treats you well."
."
It was rare for the ministers to see the Queen Mother being so kind to foreign envoys. Many people showed understanding smiles and congratulated Xi Qun. There was a rare warm atmosphere in the court.
Xi Qun stepped forward and saluted, thanked all the ministers, and then presented the credentials. The credentials were just meaningless words. Qi Min looked at them briefly and put them aside as a courtesy.
He asked some questions about King Yi's well-being, then waved his hand and dismissed the court, summoning the group to the inner hall for questioning.
After Xi Qun met again in the inner hall, he found that Queen Mother Kang's pretty face had darkened, showing a hint of frost. He was secretly frightened, and stood with his head bowed, not daring to breathe.
After a while, Queen Mother Kang said coldly: "He's not dead yet."
Xi Qun naturally knew who this "he" was referring to, grinning and bowing: "To the Queen Mother, he... the military advisor is very healthy, but he often misses the Queen Mother, and his face is much less cheerful."
"Hmph! Did he teach you this?" Qi Min curled his lips disdainfully.
"The Queen Mother is too worried. What the villain said is indeed the truth. Only the villain knows this matter. The military advisor cannot tell outsiders about this kind of thoughts. Just because the military advisor is only around the villain when he is here with the Queen Mother, so the military advisor
When I can't express my feelings for the Queen Mother, I will talk to the villain. Of course, the military advisor will not express his feelings of missing her. He will just talk to me about the big things and small things that happened when I was here, but the villain can understand what the military advisor is thinking."
He Ran taught him a lot about similar responses, and Xi Qun had already rehearsed them with great emotion along the way. In private, He Ran specifically asked the Queen Mother to call herself a "little person" instead of a "foreign minister", in order to make Qi Qi understand.
Min felt that they were family members, and Xi Qun was not a messenger but a retainer.
Qi Min was speechless for a long time after hearing this. Just as Xi Qun breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard the Queen Mother snapping up several cases and scolding: "He is not dead and is very healthy. Why did he send you here? Why doesn't he come himself!"
He Ran had never been taught how to respond to this. Xi Qun was a little stupid. No one would have thought that the Queen Mother would ask such a question.
Qi Min's heart surged when she heard that He Ran thought of her all the time, and she acted erratically. After noticing, she quickly calmed down and said, "Did he ask you to bring back the things I sent last time?"
Xi Qun quickly took out a brocade box from his arms and presented it respectfully.
Qi Min opened the seal, and when he saw it, his pretty face immediately changed color. He glared at Xi Qun and said, "What does he mean by this?!" It turned out that what Qi Min sent was a torn picture scroll, and that picture scroll was a congratulatory message.
Ran finished the painting in Chaodu and handed it to Mo Ju to bring it to her. Qi Min saw the scenes drawn by He Ran himself from acquaintance to blind date, and had mixed feelings in her heart. Then she hated him because of love, and resented him for leaving without mercy.
, she tore off a page and tore it into pieces in a violent mood swing. After her resentment subsided, she felt very regretful. The torn page showed the scene when she played with He Ran for the first time in the palace courtyard. The two people's shapes and expressions
The paintings were extremely lifelike. Thinking that everything was irretrievable, these paintings were a wonderful thought. It was a pity that this page was missing, so she sent someone to send the torn page away, hoping that He Ran could start again.
Draw a picture, but don't want to send it back. The brocade box still contains the torn picture scroll, and there are no new paintings.
Xi Qun said blankly: "The military advisor never told the villain what was inside, the villain..."
Qi Min frowned, looked through the brocade box again to confirm that there was nothing else, then stared at Xi Qun and asked, "Does he have anything else to say or anything else he wants you to bring?"
Xi Qun hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the military advisor asked the villain to report to the Queen Mother: I don't cherish external things, only the heart is precious. The new work is just ink marks, and the shredded scrolls are made with tears. The military advisor said that the old ones are always better than the new ones. If the Queen Mother is unwilling to part with them,
, naturally knows how to remedy it.”
After hearing this, Qi Min stared blankly at the scraps in the brocade box, silently thinking about these words in her heart, and sighed softly for a long time. Suddenly she looked at Xi Qun in confusion and asked: "Is he too lazy to write?
?Why don't you write a letter to me?" No wonder she asked this question. Although the words Xi Qun conveyed were obscure, they could still reveal some information. This kind of words should not be conveyed by others, and should be written in a letter.
valid reason.
Xi Qun smiled bitterly and said: "The military advisor originally had a letter to the Queen Mother, but before I left, the military advisor took the letter back."
"Why is this?" Qi Min was even more puzzled.
Xi Qun sighed and said: "The military advisor said that now that the Queen Mother is less involved in government affairs, it is better to be careful in everything. If this letter falls into the hands of outsiders, it will not only damage the Queen Mother's face, but also cost me my little one."
However, the military advisor really had a lot to say to the Queen Mother, and it was difficult for me to convey it to him, so the military advisor asked me to sigh helplessly for him in front of the Queen Mother." As he spoke, he really looked helpless and unhappy.
He sighed heavily.
Qi Min's heart couldn't help but tremble with that sigh, as if she heard He Ran's depressed voice of missing her but being unable to express it. She also knew that He Ran was giving her a warning, and even the envoys of the Yi State were
He was worried that he would die in Kang State, and the rebellious people had reached the point where they could cover the sky with only one hand.
