Chapter 845: Meeting Emperor Zhou, the deal is concluded
After greeting each other, they entered the palace together, and the guards of the entire palace were already under the control of both sides, so there was no cautious temptation. In order to reassure the Marquis of Chu, Ji Ya even relinquished control of the previous court, and only asked Zhiyu Changkong not to harass the harem.
Looking at the square in front of the palace hall, Zhiyu Changkong couldn't help but sigh: "The last time I entered Beijing was ten years ago, when it was a great victory in the northern Xinjiang anti-demon war, and the entire palace, no, the whole capital was celebrating, but I didn't expect that things would be different in ten years." "At the beginning, the Zhiyu family was like a lost dog, except for Quanyang, Yongxi, and Lunan counties, all of which were attacked by Yue Gong, and they were almost really homeless.
When Ji Ya heard this, she couldn't help but think of the king's feast that night, and she sneaked out to watch it out of curiosity for a while, and it was because of this that she saw the master for the first time, which can be regarded as an indissoluble bond.
The two couldn't help but think about it for a while, and Zhiyu Changkong suddenly asked, "Is Your Highness going to stay in the capital this time?"
Ji Ya was stunned first: "I don't know what Chu Hou has planned?" This time because of the inconvenience of entering the palace, Wu Yan and Meng Mengda failed to follow. That's why the cautious Chang Xiu was asked to assist Ji Ya. Whether it is Zhiyu Changkong or Ye Meidie, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so Ji Ya was told to open her mouth as little as possible, and even if the other party asks, don't answer blindly.
Seeing Ji Ya and herself playing sloppy, Zhiyu Changkong didn't care: "The soldiers have been away from home for a long time, and they are homesick, but it is only because the national thieves have not been eliminated that they will not retreat." Now that the Shu army has retreated, we are also considered successful, and it is time to retreat. After this visit to His Majesty, after resting for two days and waiting for the situation to settle down, he will return to Chu from Yuanzhou and Leizhou to the south. ”
Weaving Changkong said a lot of long-winded words, Ji Ya didn't hear it at all, but Chang Xiu behind her heard it, and there were three meanings in this short sentence.
First, although his opponent was the Shu army, he was not a mortal enemy. Otherwise, why don't they chase and kill them to the end? As long as the Shu army retreats, they can successfully retreat, which obviously means that they have decided to stop here. Ji Ya wants to have the next military action, and they are not ready to accompany them.
The second is to ask Ji Ya just now if she intends to stay in the capital, and then explain that she will withdraw her troops when the situation is stable. That means that he will divide his interests with Ji Ya in the capital in the past two days, and then he will leave, and it has nothing to do with him whether Ji Ya wants to stay or return to the north.
The third is the route of retreat, if you want to go, you can withdraw the army, but Yuanzhou and Leizhou are named separately. Ji Ya may not understand it, but Chang Xiu, who has been in the military camp for a long time, knows. It is still possible to go south through Yuanzhou, but Leizhou is to the west, and not passing through it all is equivalent to going far away? The most likely possibility is that the Chu army wants to pocket these two rich places.
Chang Xiu silently told Ji Ya about his speculation, which was also discussed by them before, and it naturally didn't matter if they used their skills to perform the sound transmission technique.
Seeing Ji Ya's silence, Chu Hou thought that she was weighing the gains and losses. Weaving Yu Changkong is also a bit of strength, but it can't be compared with these two people at all, as for the poisonous Ji Ye Meidie, although she is powerful in the world, she is a weak woman if she uses force. Naturally, they couldn't detect the communication between Ji Ya and Chang Xiu.
Ji Ya felt a big headache after hearing this, such a short sentence was so complicated, and then replied according to Chang Xiu's words: "We went south this time to clear the rebellion, and we have to go back to the northwest in the future. Now that bandits are rampant and the order is chaotic, we can't leave for too long, but I hope that this time the court can pay attention to it and make some rules. ”
Zhiyu Changkong and Ye Meidie looked at each other and smiled, and Zhiyu Changkong said: "Knowing that the Ganliang area is barren and chaotic, I am still willing to go, Your Highness is admirable for the people, and it really makes me feel ashamed." I can't help much else, but I deeply agree with His Highness's fist heart, and when I return to the south in the future, I will set His Highness as an example and vigorously develop the place. At that time, we will develop together in the south and the north. ”
Ji Ya heard a chill when she heard this, you don't need to hold me like this, it sounds weird. But this sentence seems to be useless touting, but it actually has two meanings. Lin Yue wrote to ask for the princess of Liangguo, and Chu Hou had already received the news. The so-called 'deep agreement with the heart of the fist' means that Chu Hou not only agrees, but also contributes to this matter. In addition, what he said about the common development of the south and the north, Ji Ya does not need to be reminded by Changxiu. Chudi and Yunzhong are both members of the Wanyue Project, and the win-win situation between the north and the south is also to point out the alliance between the two sides.
Ji Ya nodded: "This time Chu Hou returned to the south, I don't know if it will pass through Anling County, Yuanzhou, I heard that the scenery over there is beautiful, the last time I stayed in Master's manor for only a few days, I didn't be able to appreciate it well, it's a pity." ”
Zhiyu Changkong pondered for a while, and then said with a smile: "This time Anling County is not on our march, it seems that I also have no chance with the beautiful scenery, and I don't know what year and month it will take to pass in the future, it is indeed a pity." ”
Although these two sentences of pity were said, the two didn't really feel pity. Since the Marquis of Chu has the intention of annexing the two states of Yuan and Lei, of course Ji Ya has to be vigilant. Lin Yue used to be the chief soldier of Yuanzhou and was named the Marquis of Anling, and more than half of the entire Anling County was his fief. There are manors, real estates, etc., and if the Chu army wants Yuanzhou to take it, it must ensure that Lin Yue's private property is not violated.
And the Marquis of Chu also had a good grasp of Lin Yue's information, after all, he had just been named Marquis of Yun, and there were many people who knew the title of Marquis of Anling, so it was not difficult to think of this section. Weaving the language of Changkong made it clear that 'Anling County is not on the way to the army', which means that it will not be offended. After all, this is not just about Lin Yue.
The Great Zhou also had provisions for the protection of the private property of the nobility. Although it was a troubled time, the small nobles took advantage of it. But Lin Yue's volume is obviously not 'small'. Once it breaks out, it is likely to become a stain scandal. He didn't want to be an enemy of the acquiescence rule of the entire noble class.
This journey is not long, but the two sides have reached a lot of consensus with each other, and it can be regarded as a preliminary understanding of each other's ideas.
When they came to the door of the main hall, each of their thirty guards was to remain outside the hall. Several diligent chamberlains came over, and the leader said respectfully: "The slaves and maids have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess, and have seen the Marquis of Chu, and a few of them have come to see Your Majesty, please untie your weapons, and the slaves and maids will wait for you to enter." ”
According to the rules, don't talk about the main hall, you should untie your weapons outside the palace gate, but now the court is in decline, and the dignity of the royal family is gone.
These chamberlains came over without any intention of ordering, they all spoke respectfully, which was also a small temptation by Emperor Zhou Ji, he wanted to see what kind of attitude these two people had. If it's really tough...... In fact, he has no good choice but to continue to pretend to be his grandson.
The guards stayed outside, and there were only four people who really entered, Ye Meidie was completely a strategist, so she didn't wear a weapon, and even Wenchen didn't wear a decorative sword. Although Chang Xiu hated the court at the beginning, he was still quite scrupulous in the law, and he put down his phoenix mouth knife outside the palace, and now he also took off the sword on his waist.
The two of them are nothing, and now the key is that they don't dare to offend Zhiyu Changkong and Ji Ya, but if they make up an excuse casually, they don't dare to stop them, if they are a little angry and kill them on the spot, will Your Majesty still offend the two in front of you for a few servants?
Weaving Yu Changkong smiled slightly, untied the long sword and handed it to the chamberlain, he was here to achieve his goal, not to show off his might. Domineering may not be in awe for all, and humility can sometimes be rewarding. The head of the chamberlain was relieved when he saw that Chu Hou was so cooperative.
Ji Ya shook her head here, and the attendant thought that Ji Ya didn't want to put down the big sword she was carrying, so naturally it was not good to persuade her, and she was about to lead the four of them into the main hall. But I heard Ji Ya say: "You can't take the weight of this big dragon pattern sword, I'll just put it here." As he spoke, he poked into the ground, and the blade of the great sword instantly pierced about a quarter of the masonry.
The Tyrannosaurus Sword Dao of the Northland Dragon Sword Gate is so fierce and domineering, the time spent by the two generations of the old sword god and the sword god is not short, and the big dragon pattern sword is still strong and sharp, which can be seen to be a peerless divine weapon!
Weaving language is not good for cultivating in the sky, but the eyesight is still there: "Your Highness, it's good to cultivate!"
The head of the chamberlain doesn't care about this, no matter how powerful Ji Ya is, it has nothing to do with him, as long as he doesn't make trouble, doesn't hurt others, and doesn't embarrass himself: "Your Highness, please! Chu Hou, please!"
……
"Chenzhi Yu Changkong (Ji Ya) See Your Majesty, Your Majesty's holy life is boundless!"
The two of them saluted Ji Zhun very respectfully, the difference is that Zhiyu Changkong uses aristocratic etiquette, while Ji Ya uses military salute. The two of them had a tacit understanding that they did not use the rite of audience, so they agreed to each other that they were no longer courtiers.
Chu Hou weaves a long language, Ji Zhun saw it when he was a child, and now he has a little more dignity of the superior. Ji Ya was a little unexpected. Under the background of a silver-white lady's armor, she looks heroic. Since picking up the big dragon pattern sword and putting on the bright armor of Leng Yue Guwei, Ji Ya, who has thrown herself into the battlefield, has gotten rid of her immaturity, and her style of acting has become more and more mature, and she has a little bit of the shadow of Chai Shengnan back then.
There is not much to do after the audience, after all, the entire capital has been taken over by the northern and southern armies, and it is not the turn of Emperor Zhou Ji to be the master of the house, as long as he sits on the throne and keeps smiling and nodding in approval.
The rest is okay to say, when Ji Ya proposed that after the capital was stabilized, he would withdraw his troops and return to Ganliang, Emperor Ji Zhun of Zhou suddenly said: "Wang Mei's talent is outstanding, and her military achievements are outstanding, and it is a waste and too hard to stay in the desolate land in the northwest." How about staying in the capital? With Wang Mei's strength and merits, she can be crowned as the princess of Zhenguo. ”
When Ji Ya heard this, she immediately shirked: "Brother Wang has a good reputation, and the courtier's sister can have today, and it also depends on the help of many parties." This small achievement can be worthy of the word 'Zhenguo', now the rebellion in the capital has subsided, and the people in the northwest are still suffering, although Wang Mei is not talented, but willing to Yongzhen Xijiang for the imperial court, please Brother Wang. ”
Before Emperor Zhou Jizhun could speak, Chu Hou Zhiyu interjected: "Her Royal Highness the princess is noble and bright, and she cares about the people, which is really a blessing for the country and the court. The minister asked His Majesty to make an exception to enshrine Her Royal Highness as the princess of Liang Kingdom, as a commendation for the world. ”
Seeing the unity of the two, Emperor Zhou Ji asked with difficulty: "Sister Wang won't think about it anymore?"
Ji Ya said firmly: "The second sister of Zhenguo is ashamed, and she only wants to stabilize the northwest for the imperial court." ”
The reason why Weaving Whisper Changkong helped Ji Ya speak, on the one hand, was indeed because the two sides had reached an agreement, and on the other hand, Weaver Whisper Changkong didn't want Ji Ya to become the second Chai Shengnan.
After several rounds of baptism in troubled times, whether it is the powerful worship of the Holy Maiden, or the unification of the southwest high sea, the old lady who overwhelms all the forces in the world, the first prince Xi Ze Yaoshi, and the orthodoxy of the Great Zhou Dynasty that has been inherited for 400 years. These have all fallen.
There is no longer any suppressive force in the world, the first-line princes such as Chu and Yan, and the quasi-first-line such as Qi, Wu, Yun (Lin Yue in the clouds), etc., although there is a gap, but they can also fight in court. There is no absolute protagonist, so that everyone can have a chance to compete for power. With the assistance of Ye Meidie, the weaving language has developed in a low-key manner and slowly accumulated. Finally brought these people down, how can they tolerate regenerative variables?
Ji Ya is the princess of the Great Zhou, once she settles in the capital, she will inevitably become the guardian force of the Great Zhou, although the court is in decline, but it is always orthodox. If the royal family really has a strong army, then the other princes will definitely be tied. Emperor Ji of Zhou named Ji Ya as the princess of Zhenguo, just to turn Lin Yue and Ji Ya, the two masters and apprentices, into the 'Demon Cloud Sea and Chai Shengnan' of his generation.
Obviously, the blonde also saw through this, so she strongly objected. Staying in the capital may be able to hold the power of the world, but it will also become the target of the public, just like Chai Shengnan's fate. But if she is the lord of Ganliang, it will be no different from these princes, everyone will include her in the circle, the only difference is that she was born in the royal family and her surname is 'Ji'.
Here in the capital is a hot potato, whoever goes to pick it up suffers. Therefore, the Marquis of Chu would rather have two rich state capitals. Presumably Ji Ya thought so too.
In the end, Emperor Zhou had no choice but to approve the request of the two, and the two were about to retire. Ji Zhun said suddenly: "Sister Wang hasn't returned to the palace for a long time, I have already asked someone to clean up your original residence, it is better to stay in the palace tonight, several brothers and sisters miss you very much." ”
Ji Ya was stunned, did she have such a good relationship with these brothers and sisters? But after thinking about it, she couldn't help but miss her mother, she thought that she would not return to the palace again, but she didn't expect that she would come back again in another way today. The words of rejection came to his lips, but he couldn't say them.
