The plan to set the fire is still in the "desk" stage. Song Yang does not need to do anything. It is enough for Ayiguo to "preside over" it. Yao Xing and the traitor have a tacit understanding when they cooperate.
After Ayi Guo and others left, the room finally became quiet. Song Yang took some medicine for himself, got on the bed, rested his head on his hands, and began to think quietly about the news Su Hang had brought to him...
The wound medicine has a soothing effect. The journey from Nanli to Jingcheng was tiring, and there was hardly a moment of leisure after arriving at the post house...Song Yang was mentally distressed. After he managed to figure out some clues, he could no longer hold on.
He stayed and fell into a deep sleep. Fortunately, no one pointed a bow at his head from the window that night, so Song Yang had a peaceful sleep.
But just after the fourth watch, the street where the Siguo Post House was located suddenly became noisy. The eunuchs of the Yan Palace and officials of the Yan State Rites Department led a large group of servants directly into the post house to help everyone who entered the palace today wash and prepare.
The servants boiled hot water and poured it into the bathtub. They were either envoys or visiting knights. Everyone, without exception, had to take a bath before entering the palace, and there were special Yan Palace servants to 'serve' them when taking a bath, or in other words
It's surveillance. As for the female guests like Xiao Qi and Nan Rong, the State of Yan thought carefully in advance and sent maids over.
After bathing, they all changed into the clothes, shoes and hats brought by the Yan people. The style and size of these clothes were exactly the same as the original audience clothes prepared by the envoys, but they were just extra clothes made for them by the Yan people. Nan Li
When the mission first arrived in Jingcheng, a Yan official told them about this matter. At the same time, they took everyone's "court clothes" to compare and cut. It was just that Song Yang was busy at that time and didn't know.
The weird rules of the Yan Kingdom seemed strange, but Song Yang understood it after a little thought... With this set of procedures, even if he has great abilities, he will never be able to hide poison into the palace.
Soon after, the melodious sound of morning bells spread throughout Jingcheng, and all the posthouses in various countries were busy. All the people entering the palace pedaled to the palace, led by the eunuchs. When they arrived in front of the palace gate, there was a careful search.
In front of the imperial city, a high platform stands, with a huge plaque hanging high on the row of buildings, with three gilded characters: Tian, Yipin.
This is the first-class competition that attracts attention from all over China. The people of Jingcheng gathered from all directions before dawn and crowded into the area designated by the government. They were crowded and eager to wait for the big show to start. No one knows yet.
The excitement of waiting has long been dashed...
At half past midnight, there was a lot of shouting and shouting in the Yan Palace, and envoys from the four kingdoms entered the palace to have an audience. Regardless of whether they were strong or weak, there were only eleven people from each country entering the palace, one leading the team and the chief officer, and ten going to the challenge.
Master. When meeting Emperor Yan, there are almost endless red tapes. It is ten times more complicated than meeting Fenglong in Phoenix City. Jingtai is high above, and the pearls on the real dragon's crown hang low, half covering his holy face, and it is difficult to see his expression.
.
Song Yang was not pretentious, standing in the queue, saluting along with his companions, and raising his eyes to look at Jingtai every chance he got.
This is the person.
He 'conspired' with the Imperial Preceptor to kill himself once and You Li once. The difference was that he was not dead yet, but his relatives died first and their bodies were desecrated behind.
This is the person.
It's a pity that the other one is not here. During the grand state affairs, all the officials of the Yan Kingdom were seated in the Golden Palace, but the Imperial Master was not there...
After the salute, Song Yang and other contestants stood aside. The envoys from the four countries came forward to sing the credentials. Jingtai responded one by one. The emperor's words were four to six parallel, gorgeous and obscure, and Song Yang couldn't understand most of them.
After more than an hour spent with all kinds of false words, the ceremony was finally over. Jingtai, who was sitting on the dragon chair, seemed to be relieved. His eyes passed over the three powerful countries and landed directly on the queue of Nali people. When he spoke again
He also abandoned the cryptic tone of his words and asked bluntly: "I heard that when Nanli went to challenge the strange warriors, they were not warriors?"
Mr. Hu had already thought about his explanation. He took a step forward and was about to speak, but Jingtai did not allow him to speak. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "I am not good at writing, and interpretation is boring. No need to explain. Mr. Hu, tell me, you Nanliqi
What skills do scholars have?"
Mr. Hu pointed out the outstanding people from his country and introduced them one by one. Jingtai occasionally interjected and asked a few questions. The ten people selected by Nanli were all talented and learned. Even if their answers were not brilliant, they were at least satisfactory.
It is worth mentioning that when Mr. Hu introduced the Fire Taoist, he only said that the Fire Taoist's first skill is 'can turn an ordinary fire into a blazing white flame, and the temperature will rise sharply, which is of great benefit in smelting'
, but he didn’t mention a word about the Fire Taoist’s second ability of “making a big fire”.
Taoist Huo was relieved, and Song Yang also lowered his head and smiled. Mr. Hu was ordered to go on a mission, not because of the blind trust of Emperor Fenglong. Although the Nanli court was small, there were many smart people, but when it came to the smartest ones,
There must be a place for Mr. Hu among them.
Next to Taoist Huo was Xiao Qi. Before Mr. Hu could introduce him this time, Jingtai asked: "Xiao Qi, Xiangma? I've heard that you selected a dragon colt from Nanli and galloped away."
It was a majestic journey, but it was a pity that it was over before reaching Jingcheng, and died at ten stops."
Xiao Qi gritted her teeth, but did not dare to say anything more and silently returned to the team.
Master Hu said respectfully: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, what kind of dragon colt is that? It's just a rogue horse. It can no longer hold on after ten stops. Thanks to the generous gift of your country's general, it has found peace and happiness. It is its good fortune."
The words of weakness are discouraging, and Mr. Hu pointed at the second idiot standing next to Xiao Qi: "His skill is to tame birds. Whether sparrows or falcons, they all surrender to his whistle and come to see His Majesty."
, I specially selected a large bird that is a specialty of Nanli. It is more than eight feet tall and weighs more than a thousand kilograms. Its claws can break steel armor like broken wadding, and its beak can break bluestone like coarse porcelain. This big bird first arrived in your country and was not accustomed to the climate and climate.
Zhan is also on the verge of death like that rogue horse..."
At this point, Mr. Hu paused for a moment and did not continue the story. Instead, he jumped directly to the conclusion and said to Emperor Yan: "Thanks to your Majesty's great blessing, that beast has finally recovered and regained its energy."
Er Sha frowned and didn't understand why the old prime minister made up a story about Liu Wu almost dying, but even the sensible people in this hall could hear the sharpness of his words... Both the ferocious bird and the rogue horse were about to die in the ten stops.
However, General Yan only dared to kill horses and did not dare to hurt big birds.
Mr. Hu scolded the Yan people for being bullying and afraid of the strong.
Perhaps because of the special occasion, Emperor Yan was not furious. He looked directly at Mr. Hu and said in a calm tone: "I have only heard before that Prime Minister Zuo of Nanli has a shrewd mind. I don't want you to be able to tell a good story."
Mr. Hu bowed and said respectfully: "Your Majesty's compliments are unworthy." Then he stood up and pointed to the next Song Yang... After he finished the introduction, Jingtai smiled again on his face, looking very interested, and asked directly
Song Yang: "Do you know how to strengthen a country?"
After Song Yang responded, Jingtai nodded: "This knowledge is very interesting. You can come from thousands of miles away from Nanli. You must have impressed Fenglong with the principle of 'strengthening the country'. This shows that you are truly talented and knowledgeable."
Then, Song Yang didn't need to say anything more, Jingtai continued: "Everything has two sides: right and wrong. Where there is yang, there is yin. If you are good at the way to strengthen a country, you will also know the way to destroy it, right?" Jingtai
His smile grew thicker: "I want to ask you, what is the way to subjugate your country? Where is the way to subjugate Nanli's country?"
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Hu's expression suddenly changed, and he turned to look at Song Yang with sharp eyes, indicating that he must not be too 'soft'. But the Nanli Palace responded very quickly, and Song Yang, who had a fierce temper at the border gate of Hongcheng, let him
Mr. Hu was disappointed. This time he lost his temper and just bowed and responded: "It is a serious crime to be beheaded for talking about this matter. I don't dare to do it."
Jingtai laughed, waved his hand and said, "I forgive you for not being guilty, and I will forgive you for saying anything, but it doesn't matter."
At this moment, even the always good-tempered Shi Xiaoxiao frowned. Letting Song Yang talk about Nanli's way of subjugating the country was already overbearing and bullying, but now he is being forgiven...Song Yang is from Nanli, so to speak
What is more important is that Nanli will be destroyed. Even if he is punished, he will return to the country in the future, and the official family and the court of Nanli will handle the affairs. How can the people of Yan be forgiven? Jingtai is arrogant.
Song Yang, on the other hand, was like a stupid boy who didn't know what was wrong. After receiving Emperor Yan's "I forgive you," he actually looked very happy. He turned back to look at his companions, and the meaning in his eyes was clear: Then I will
I said it... Mr. Hu didn't look at him, Xiao Qi frowned deeply, but Ai Guo winked at him.
Jingtai chuckled and said: "If you want to say something, just say it. You don't have to look at this or that. You need to remember that this is my palace. You just need to listen to my orders. Also, I will give you the honor to hold your head high in the palace and you don't have to lower your head to speak."
Now, I can’t see your face.”
Song Yang straightened his back, and this time without hesitation or even thinking, he spoke directly: "There are countless ways to subjugate a country, but to achieve the fastest, most complete, and least chance of recovery, there is only one way.
"
Jingtai was happy: "Say!"
"Nanli is located in a corner of Nanli, with Tubo tigers crouching in the west and His Majesty's Yan State in the north. Nanli's national strength is much inferior to its two neighboring countries... and compared with Tubo and Dayan, Dayan
I want to be even better. In fact, it’s not just Tubo. Among the five kingdoms of China, Dayan is the leader." Song Yang suddenly changed the topic and kept praising Dayan.
When talking about other countries, the envoys from the other three countries made no secret of their dissatisfaction and almost snorted coldly. Jingtai smiled and said: "Just talk about your Nanli, there is no need to mention other countries."
Song Yang shook his head: "We have to get involved, otherwise Nanli will not be destroyed quickly enough." As he said this, his voice became louder: "The way for the common people to subjugate their country is simple, it is to smash an egg against a stone! Choose the strongest one.
The hardest stone... The whole country's soldiers marched straight out of Zheqiao Pass to attack the strongest Yan in the world. With Nanli, how many soldiers can he have? How much pay can he have? How many battles can he fight? Can he persist?
How many days? In this battle, Yan will win and Nanli will lose. Corpses are everywhere in the place where the beacon smoke passes. After a fierce battle, there will be no more men in Nanli. The imperial court will be destroyed. All the money and food will be exhausted. From now on, there will never be a chance to stand up again.
, Nanli died cleanly!"
After saying that, Song Yang suddenly laughed. Master Hu also wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare. Emperor Yan didn't grant him any guilt...According to this bastard's idea, Nanli was indeed completely destroyed, but Da
Where is Yan?
No matter how weak Nanli is, it is still a country. The balance of the five kingdoms of China clearly belongs to Nanli. If there is such a war, even if it cannot damage the foundation of Yan, it can still stir up military and political chaos, and Tubo, Quan
How could Rong You miss the opportunity...
Song Yang didn't learn much about calligraphy and lyrics in this life, but Song Yang knew how to 'quarrel'... You ask me what is the way to my death? Well, my way to death is: fight with you!
An important minister of Yan State strode out, pointed at Song Yang, and angrily said: "Shuzi is arrogant..." Someone raised his head, and other Yan ministers shouted angrily, but Song Yang ignored him and only bowed to Jingtai and said: "Little people
Thank you again, Your Majesty, for allowing me to speak without guilt." After saying that, he stepped back in small steps and returned to the queue.
