Chapter 62 Let the Spring Festival work overtime? How hateful!(2/2)
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.
Chapter completed!
