important task
"If that's the case, then this envoy from the Song Kingdom should be treated well!" Gao Zhan smiled and straightened up, descended the steps, and slowly walked among the hundreds of officials holding wat boards on both sides of the column. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info walked from this end of the court to that end, His Majesty the Emperor roamed freely, and his arrogant eyes swept over the ministers in the court at will, and then let the ministers bow their heads and hold the wat board with the emperor's position and turned sideways, respectfully, waiting for the Son of Heaven to send.
Zi Mo just watched the familiar side face walk in front of him without stopping. The twelve beads hanging on the crown of the Son of Heaven swayed lightly, and the jade algae covered his face, which did not ease Gao Zhan's sharp gaze in the slightest. His eyes were like torches, looking at the ministers in the court one by one, and everywhere he looked, he made the civil and military officials more sincere and afraid.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the envoys of the Song Dynasty came to the dynasty to show the demeanor of our great country. Now that the matter of receiving the wind for the envoys of the Song State is imminent, who can you see who can take on this great responsibility?" Gao Zhan said, and let the ministers below turn their heads and talk about each other, he looked around with satisfaction and continued, "This person has to be both gracious and measured, and he can't open his eyes to money, so that the Liu Song court thinks that we are all greedy for money and lustfulγγγγγγ His Majesty the Emperor spoke at the speed of his speech, and casually cast a glance at the minister, and immediately nodded his head. "Yes, yes, His Majesty the Emperor said it very much. "The trembling and accompanying are probably the ones who received the most bribes from the envoys of the Song State, Gao Zhan didn't say anything, and it was almost the same as the roll call.
Silence, those bribed officials looked at each other in pairs and were about to kneel down and confess leniently, but saw that the emperor reached out and gently patted the shoulder of one of the old ministers, and said slowly: "But don't let the Song envoys think that my Daqi's attitude towards them has no room for change, if they let them beg for help in Yecheng and hit their heads and bleed back, Liu Songguo should make up his mind to fight against the water, which is not a good thing for my Daqi." Gao Zhan's words seemed to be said to the frightened bloodless old minister, and smiled at the minister, and the minister immediately became excited, and immediately his head was like pounding garlic, and he couldn't help but agree: "Yes, the emperor said it very much! This Song envoy is very gracious, in order to make peace with my Qi country, it is really hard work, the Song people are walking on thin ice, and the envoy has not arrived in Yecheng and this big gift has taken the first step to the treasury of my Qi country, it seems that they have been frightened by our military strength to scatter, bent on peace, bent on peace!"
When the old courtier heard Gao Zhan say this, he immediately felt relieved and hurriedly agreed, beating the snake with the stick, firstly, to conform to the emperor's wishes, and secondly, to find a proper reason for his own private teaching, right? After speaking, Gao Zhan stared at him, and then walked away from the minister's side, leaving the minister who was standing in place and didn't know whether the emperor was happy or angry at the moment, but he didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only stand with his head bowed respectfully.
"The Song people ask for peace, you can! It's just that I thought in my heart, Song Guo dared to secretly join up with Zhou Guo and wanted to stab me in the back, if I received gold and silver treasures, it would be a good thing, it would make some southerners look down on me, thinking that my dynasty was healed and forgot the pain, so I would definitely make other requests when the Song envoy came to meet me! I want these Song people to know that I can't commit it, and if I do, I should be prepared to eat the consequencesγγγγγγ Both soft and hard, let the Song envoy obediently obey, then it depends on the ability of the minister who shoulders the heavy responsibility! Hey, it is really difficult to choose such a capable personγγγγγγ I also thought that it would be better to let the Song people go home, and since then the two countries have been fighting each other, but their gifts are really rich, and they are worth the taxes paid by our country for three yearsγγγγγγ Money, I want to accept it, and you Aiqing must want to accept it too, right?" Gao Zhan rolled his fox-like eyes and teased the ministers, causing the officials to laugh loudly, and praised again and again: "Yes, yes, Your Majesty Shengming! Shengming! How can this fat meat in your mouth be spit out?"
Hearing this, those ministers who were not clean in their hands were completely relieved, and even more threw themselves at Gao Zhan: The emperor was more ruthless than them, and he wanted to accept other people's tributes and think about it every inch! While saying that he agreed to make peace, he wanted to press step by step. made the Song people uneasy, always beware of whether the gifts they gave were not enough and not expensive enough, and then willingly and carefully accompanied the careful. What's more, His Majesty's heart is as deep as the sea today, and he really doesn't know how to make Song people's hearts drip blood. It seems that the minister has a long way to go this time, and he may not be able to please the emperor with all his hard work!
Everyone had their thoughts, guessed, and swept upward, not knowing who would be so honored to be appointed by His Majesty the Emperor as the minister to receive the wind, and then they all carefully tensed their bodies, lest the heavens would fall on their heads.
"The old minister is willing to share the emperor's worries!" Zu Ting stepped forward and recommended himself, as the right minister, he was really an example of the officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
"Oh?" Gao Zhan pretended to be surprised, with a smile in his eyes, he patted the old man on the shoulder and pressed him back again, "Ancestral Xiang, you, don't fight for everything when you are old, you should give the younger generations some opportunities to show meritorious service." Gao Zhan said with a smile, "Besides, the envoy of the Song Kingdom who came to Yecheng this time is a gentleman in his early twenties, and you old man is afraid that he won't be able to talk to this person!
Zu Ting bent his eyes and smiled, and honestly returned to the place where the minister was present.
"Minister Gao Xiaoyu is willing to take on this important responsibility!" Another person volunteered, and it was Gao Xiaoyu, the king of Henan, who came out of the ranks. What Xiaoyu needs is such a great opportunity to show her edge!
Gao Zhan looked at him, shook his head slowly, and said: "The king of Henan is a pillar of the Zhongshu Province, and the etiquette of receiving Song ministers must not be lost, otherwise those southerners will see the jokes." It's just that the minister of the wind can't patronize the pomp and circumstance, and there must be a person with a great reputation to show my great Qi national prestige, so as to show that my Qi Dynasty is full of talents and the prosperity of the four seas. When the prince of Henan came to the Song Dynasty, he must be busy with official business, Aiqing, you can arrange your own work is hard work, and you don't have to work hard. β
γγγγγγ The king of Henan stared for a moment, and his face gradually lost his brilliance, so he could only say yes softly and retreated.
"Your Majesty! Duan Yi is willing to share your Majesty's worries!"
"Duan Shen is willing to serve His Majesty!"
After only a while, the two brothers of the Duan family stepped forward together with a tacit understanding.
Gao Zhan didn't know when he had stopped standing beside Zi Mo, his eyes crossed the shoulders of King Lanling, and looked at the two young generals of the Duan family.
"The two major generals of the Duan family are really close to everything, and they are a model for the younger generation of generals in our dynastyγγγγγγ! Gao Zhan suddenly lowered his head, so Zi Mo only raised his eyes slightly and saw that Tianzi Long Yan occupied his entire field of vision.
"Your Highness Lanling, who do you think is the best person to take on this important task?" Gao Zhan asked in a dumb voice.
γγγγγγ There was an instant silence in the court, and how many pairs of eyes looked straight at it, and there was no whispering and talking in the dark before.
Thinking of the provocative words of the Gao family disciple before, Zi Mo frowned, it turned out that it was really known to the whole dynasty. It's just that the previous emperor and him didn't have much intersection in front of everyone, so these old fritters in the officialdom should not know about it, and when there is such an intimate move, everyone holds their breath and wants to picket the clues.
"Chang Gong doesn't know, Your Majesty is wise and has his own decision. Zi Mo replied respectfully. His hands were folded in front of him, just a little distance away from Gao Zhan.
"Oh, Changgong is a great hero of this war, and now that the Song Kingdom can come to sue for peace, how much of it is also due to the invincible prestige of the Lanling King, how can Aiqing say that he doesn't know? But what are the twists and turns of the inconvenience of taking on this heavy responsibility?" Gao Zhan didn't eat his official tone, and asked urgently.
γγγγγγ Zi Mo glanced up at Gao Zhan, the man was smiling, his eyes were full of ridicule, as if he was watching some good show and standing lazily in front of him, the dragon robe was long and dragged to the ground, as if Zi Mo was surrounded by the subtle and slightly warped real dragon embroidered on the robe.
"The minister didn't dare to take the credit alone. As for the envoys of the Song Dynasty coming to the court, the ministers have been entangled in trivial matters recently, and they don't even know who the envoys who came to the court, let alone the twists and turns!" Zi Mo said truthfully.
"I seeγγγγγγ Gao Zhan's eyes were like torches, how could Chang Gong not know about how he had offended Yuan Zhonghua and was forced to separate from Gao Xiaowan recently? Thinking of the injury on Chang Gong's body, his heart tightened, and then he coldly hooked the corners of his lips, he has not had an easy time in recent days, as the information that Chen Weiran inquired in Luoyang came back to his hands, Gao Zhan asked himself that the pain in his heart must be a thousand times more serious than the whip wound on Gao Changgong's body. But His Majesty the Emperor can only endure it, every day in the court, it is clear that the person who provoked his liver and intestines is a few steps away, he can only pretend not to see, he did not expect, did not touch, in the court is full of joy and anger, but inside is almost vomiting blood. Seeing Chang Gong's cold face and hardened his heart, he thought that he must not look like this in front of that person. Gao Changgong, Gao Changgong, he deliberately avoided it in that corner without saying a word, and even his eyes were stingy to intersect, that Murong Chong was really so good? !
"Then I told Yu Aiqing that the envoy of the Song Kingdom is Liu Ziye, the prince of Yongguang, and Chang Gong is still acquainted?" Gao Zhan asked again.
Zi Mo was stunned, he looked at Gao Zhan, and wanted to say that he didn't know, but when he thought that Chen Weiran was already Gao Zhan's cronies, and the matter of Jiankang must have reached Gao Zhan's ears earlier, he should say: "The minister and Liu Ziye have several relationships, but they are not familiar with each other. The heavy responsibility of this minister is afraid that the minister will γγγγγγ Zi Moyuan didn't want to receive any more sharp errands, and when he heard that it was Liu Ziye, he wanted to retreat.
"Hey~ Chang Gong don't have to worry too much, I didn't want to hand over this errand to you! In fact, I already have a good candidate in mind at the moment, come on, announce him to the palace!" Gao Zhan suddenly turned around and climbed the steps and sat back on the dragon chair.
The ministers were curious about who the emperor was talking about, so they looked back. When he got closer, the most shocked was Zi Mo, who lost his expression dumbly, and stared at the person who walked up to the court step by step.
"Minister Murong Chong has seen His Majesty the Emperor, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" When Murong Chong saluted, Gao Zhan did not look at him, but just tilted his head and glanced at Gao Changgong on the side, as he expected, it was really such an expressionγγγγγγ
