Chapter 101 Envoy Enters Beijing
On the ninth day of June, the eighth day after the Prince Regent's "corpse" disappeared.
Beimo's envoys came to Beijing, and it was Prince Qi from Beimo who came.
On behalf of Beimo, he came to renew the covenant with Dazhou. The two sides signed a ceasefire and peace agreement fifteen years ago, and the agreement was renewed every three years.
The regent died, and the empress dowager's responsibility to receive the envoys naturally fell on the empress dowager. The empress dowager ordered the servant of the Ministry of Rites and Lord Cui from Shang Shusheng to pick up the envoys at the city gate, and then the prince of Li brought Prince An to the palace. There is a banquet inside.
These years, Prince An didn't care about government affairs, but he was an old acquaintance with Prince Qi, so it was most appropriate to arrange him to receive him together.
The envoys entered the capital and signed a peace agreement, so the people in the capital were all rejoicing.
Beimo is rich in fine horses, so this time Lord Qi brought a hundred horses of good breed, and they can be improved into war horses.
Beimo is a warlike nation, but in fifteen years, it was defeated by the iron cavalry led by Prince An, forcing the then emperor of Beimo to surrender.
However, the people of Beimo did not hate Prince An, because the emperor of Beimo's successive wars caused people to be displaced and their production was not good. , the male-to-female ratio is seriously imbalanced.
Prince An's cavalry went northward, conquering the emperor of Beimo, and also conquering the men of Beimo. The men of Beimo have always worshiped capable people, so Prince An actually became a heroic existence in Beimo.
Naturally, this hero is only among the common people, and the main battle party in the royal family of Beimo still fears and hates Prince An.
Prince Qi belonged to the peace sect. When they signed the peace agreement, the two cherished each other, but they almost didn't make friends with brothers of different surnames.
When the banquet was held in the palace, the ministers were also invited to the banquet, and those who were kneeling outside the palace of the empress dowager also attended the banquet one after another.
King Nanhuai did not attend, and the Empress Dowager had already invited him, but there was no reply, and no one came.
The empress dowager thought that he wanted to accompany the imperial concubine, so she didn't make things difficult for him. It was enough to have so many relatives and courtiers with her.
The prince is wearing a yellow prince's court dress, with a four-clawed real dragon sitting on his chest and back, which is beyond words.
He was full of spring breeze tonight, and before Duke Qi of Beimo entered the palace, he had already arrived first, and personally went down the stone steps to greet him as the ruler.
Prince Qi met the crown prince once, but at that time the crown prince was hiding behind the emperor and was not very conspicuous. Later, he talked with him once and found that he was very shallow and superficial. people.
However, due to etiquette, he did not show it.
Prince Qi had just arrived in Dazhou, so he didn't know the news of the Prince Regent's "death", so after seeing the Prince, he subconsciously went to look for the King Regent.
When Prince An stepped forward, he asked Prince An, "Why don't you see the Prince Regent?"
Prince An's expression was gloomy, and he said, "The regent is dead!"
Prince Qi was shocked, "How could this happen? It's such a pity, heaven is jealous of talents."
Prince Qi was really sorry and sad. He would come to Beijing once a year to talk with Prince An and the Prince Regent. The friendship between the two was not shallow.
He sighed again and again, "How did this happen? Is it a sudden illness? I have talked with him several times in detail before. He is knowledgeable and knows how to govern the country. He is a good monarch who can stabilize the country."
Upon hearing this, Liang Taifu said calmly: "Prince Qi, the emperor of my Great Zhou Dynasty is still here, and the regent Murong Jie is only acting as supervisor of the country temporarily. It is not appropriate for you to call him a monarch."
Prince Qi quickly apologized, "Yes, I made a slip of the tongue, Taifu forgive me, forgive me!"
Liang Taifu said: "The national conditions of Beimo are different from those of Dazhou, so it is understandable for the prince not to know. I am also a generous person towards the prince, and I will not care about the prince."
Prince Qi raised his head in surprise, looked at the prince, and was a little puzzled in his heart. Does Liang Taifu's words mean that the prince is in charge? But the prince...
The Great Zhou Dynasty should not have made such a decision. Although the crown prince will ascend the throne sooner or later, the crown prince has not been successful so far. He is not the talent of a monarch. At least he has to work on it for ten or eight years.
These words also fell into the ears of the empress dowager, who was very displeased.
The queen kept looking at the empress dowager's expression. Seeing her expression like this, she knew what she was thinking in her heart. She smiled coldly. She really didn't think about letting the prince rule. Necessary.
After hearing Taifu Liang's words, Prince An said calmly, "Why is Taifu so anxious? Naturally, the prince will not argue with the prince, and neither will we. Those who don't know are not guilty. Besides, the prince has no malicious intentions."
The empress dowager said: "Okay, don't stand still, invite the prince to the table!"
Prince Qi looked at the Empress Dowager, only to remember that he hadn't paid his respects yet, so he hurried forward, "The envoys from Beimo are visiting the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty. May the Empress Dowager be in good health and live a happy life."
The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "My lord, get up quickly, you are just like one of my own people, don't be polite, please sit down quickly."
Prince Qi sat down and looked at the black heads. The grandeur tonight was even bigger than the emperor's personal reception that day.
He had a faint feeling in his heart that the reception tonight was about to set off a bloody storm.
Outskirts of Beijing.
Since noon today, Zian felt something was wrong.
The guards guarded outside never came in before, but today, several groups of people came in and out, and every time the guards came, she was not allowed to be present.
Xiao Tuo and Su Qing lost their previous relaxed expression and became dignified.
When making dinner, Su Qing didn't come in to help, but was discussing with Murong Jie and Xiao Tuo in the room.
When she went in and out, she could vaguely hear words such as mobilizing troops and horses to intercept, and Murong Jie also issued a military order.
Zian felt a little uneasy, are they going back? But never told her before.
Murong Jie's injury is still not healed, if another force is used and the wound bursts again, it will really not be a fun thing to do.
After the meal was ready, she went in and knocked on the door, "It's time to eat, have you talked about it?"
Su Qing came out to open the door and stretched, "Is there anything delicious? Is there any sashimi tonight?"
Zian shook his head, "No."
She looked at Murong Jie, who was sitting on a chair, closed his eyes, and looked very leisurely, without the tension and solemnity of the eve of the war at all.
Zian felt that he might have guessed wrong again, they were going to guard against future events, right?
As a doctor, she really does not suggest Murong Jie to leave here now.
Murong Jie seemed to feel Zi'an's gaze, he opened his eyes, his dark eyes locked onto Zi'an, stretched out his hand, "Come here!"
Zian moved away and walked over, "My lord, what are your orders?"
Murong Jie looked at her, "We'll have dinner later, you help me bandage up the deeper wound and make it better."
Zian's breathing was a little stagnant, "My lord, your injury hasn't healed yet, so you can't..."
"When did you become so wordy?" Murong Jie looked at her, "Just do what I ordered, not to go to war, but to dress better so that I can appear majestic when I appear in front of your lords." Some."
