Chapter 218

"The envoy of Gongzi Yan Kingdom will arrive tomorrow, and he will send a message to ask Gongzi if he is going with him?" Ah Wu received the news and came to show his flying.

"It's not easy to finally come." Zhan Junfei sighed lightly, Yan Guo was far away from Mu Kingdom, and there were many inconveniences on the way, so he was able to arrive safely this time through Weiguo.

"Childe?" Ah Wu thought that Gongzi was thinking about something else, but he didn't hear it clearly and asked again, "If you want to go, do you want to meet here?" ”

"Go to the embassy and there are special officials to lure the envoys into the palace." Zhan Junfei was fortunate to take this opportunity to observe the majesty of the Muguo Palace.

"It's time to get in touch with this little-known third prince who can sit on the throne." Zhan Junfei is quite interested in the secrets of the royal family of Mu Kingdom, and maybe he can meet the Wing King.

"The news that Childe ordered his subordinates to inquire about last time has an eyebrow." Ah Wu said excitedly, "After the death of the old emperor of Mu Guo, he still took a lot of care of the Wing King, and I heard that the Wing King had a royal sword in his hand, and the officials in the court made a plan for this to deliberately exclude the Wing King from the court and the opposition, but unfortunately he lifted a stone and hit his own feet. ”

"The theft of the Imperial Sword?" Zhan Junfei has heard that the specific follow-up development has been ignored because he is busy, and now it seems to be calm.

"Exactly, the follow-up incident happened in the court, and I heard about it by chance from the Xungui children." Ah Wu painted a vivid voice and told the interesting anecdotes that he heard directly.

"Childe thinks the Wing King can do martial arts?" Ah Wu finished speaking in one breath and used a cup of tea to moisten his throat.

"Doesn't look like it?" Zhan Junfei didn't realize that the Wing King knew martial arts, and the people around the Wing King were all masters.

"According to the subordinates, even if it will be more fancy fist embroidered legs, there is a little frame style. It is more than enough to deal with old arms and old legs, and old courtiers. Ah Wu said to himself, and nodded with a sense of reason.

"What kind of material can break a sword?" Zhan Junfei has never heard of this kind of good forging material throughout the royal family of Yan Kingdom, and I really want to see it.

"Maybe the pseudo-sword is only about appearance. The sword body was hastily built, after all, no one had really seen the Imperial Sword unsheathed, and those who deliberately fished in troubled waters failed here. "Ah Wu doesn't think that there really is a magic weapon that sharpens iron like clay, and he has not heard of this treasure at the beginning of the prosperity of the rivers and lakes.

"It's strange why the old emperor of Mu still takes good care of the Wing King, and gives the Wing King deep enough protection, if it weren't for the Wing King is daughter, I would have to suspect that the throne of the Mu Emperor should be the Wing King." From the news he heard, the more Ah Wu looked at it, the more confused he became. How could the Wing King be valued by the Emperor of Mu State, and he did not hesitate to raise him to a high position and hand over unshakable authority.

"Aren't you really afraid that the Wing King will take the opportunity to seize power and overhead the new emperor to control the government?" Ah Wu wondered very much. "Once a woman tastes the alluring fragrance of power, it is difficult to let go lightly, but I am afraid that she will ask for more, although there has never been an empress in history, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no in the future."

Ah Wu's words are only one-sided words of his own. But it makes sense. It is worth thinking deeply, why did he put the fifteen-year-old girl in a high position, is it just for his own selfish desires, or the family behind the Wing King?

On the second day, the envoys of Yan State traveled thousands of miles to congratulate the new emperor of Mu State on the throne and prepared a generous gift.

The courtiers were waiting to see the envoys of the Yan State and the congratulatory gifts they sent, and they should have set up a banquet to entertain the envoys, and the courtiers were ranked to show the prestige of a great country. If you want to cancel the banquet and replace it with a small banquet, only one table will be set in the imperial garden. Where does this make it, this does not break the rules of the ancestors, how can the envoys of the Yan State accept such injustice?

The courtiers urgently asked the emperor to retract his order, and the banquet envoys needed to follow the old calendar and had never heard of a joke about the wanton deletion, the big country was inferior to the small country, how did the Yan country view the Mu country, and spread the majesty of a country!

The people of the eldest prince's faction in the court danced the most happily, even if they had lost a few colleagues before, they still did not change their flamboyant attitude, and swore to fight for a place at the banquet, and unintentionally belittled the envoys of Yan State, in order to show their own height, in a vain attempt to deepen Yan Guo's impression of the eldest prince.

If the eldest prince can do better than the emperor, plant seeds in the hearts of the people of Yan Kingdom, and when he gets the opportunity in the future, it is not impossible to have a strong foreign aid to force the new emperor to abdicate, and it is not a real collusion with other countries, this kind of incident is not prohibited, and it is not a violation.

Some courtiers will be people, and if the envoys of Yan State are in trouble, the officials can come forward to share the emperor's worries. This has happened before, and it is more convincing than giving an example to force the emperor to make concessions.

Mu Jinming dismissed it on the grounds that he didn't use the courtiers, why didn't he see it at the beginning, but now he is just an envoy who is going to make trouble in front of him, and when he sees rare things, he will not see them next time! The first emperor was not allowed to hold a large banquet in the palace for a long time, and such important things could be left behind.

As soon as this remark fell, the courtiers were completely dumbfounded, and indeed forgot about the emperor's filial piety for three years.

Mu Jinming had no intention of wasting his tongue and leaving with his sleeves up, so that it was indispensable for the ministers to enter the palace at an hour. Xi Dynasty today and the future of the early dynasty, got up early and went to the Ministry of Industry to say that there was a batch of weapons to be out of the warehouse, it is estimated that the Ministry of Industry is busy and the Ministry of Household has to go, delaying a lot of time.

There are four envoys and six of the master and servant of Zhan Junfei, and they are a little thin in their manners, which seems to be disrespectful to Mu Guo.

The courtiers just want to find fault and carry forward the national prestige in vain, they can't enter the palace and can't see the envoys of the Yan State, how to give the horse's prestige, or save it, I didn't see that the emperor didn't mind at all, what was the use of them being in a hurry.

Zhan Junfei wore a unique costume of Yan Kingdom, and followed the envoys into the palace, and the eunuchs who stopped and led the way along the way didn't seem to be in a hurry to take them to meet the new emperor.

The little eunuch led the envoy to the imperial garden and clearly informed the emperor that the emperor was grief-stricken.

Zhan Junfei and others were depressed, what is the obvious relationship between receiving envoys and the emperor? Until I was invited into the gazebo where the tea and fruit plates were prepared, I found that this was the case.

The practice of seeing the new emperor in the main hall is gone, and the banquet that was originally placed in the evening where all the officials gathered together is also gone, and it seems that this is a hasty solution in the imperial garden. It can't be considered simple, but none of the courtiers who should have appeared have appeared, is this a disappointment or another purpose?

Make eye contact with the people around you. It seems that the mystery can only be solved when the new emperor arrives, Zhan Feifei can't help but wonder if the Wing King will arrive, speaking of which the new emperor can kiss himself is the importance of the envoys of the Yan State, and in the past, it was mostly received by courtiers.

It seems to be simple but with due respect, which one is this playing, Zhan Junfei doesn't understand the temperament of the new emperor, and there are many problems seen from the trivial things this time. It seems that the new emperor is not groundless without the support of the courtiers, even if he is in a difficult situation, he can still not be afraid of the courtiers' coercion, this courage is worthy of admiration.

The gazebo is quite spacious. There is still room to put down twenty people, and the four corners are transparent and quiet, and you can take in the beautiful scenery around you, and the Imperial Garden really lives up to its name. The plants and trees are extraordinary. The flowers and greenery are very gratifying, and the refreshments at the entrance are excellent, and I can't help but use two more pieces.

Mu Jinming dealt with some of the twists and turns, asked where the Xi Dynasty was, and Shi Shiran went to the Imperial Garden to meet the envoys.

The honor guard that shows the majesty of the emperor can be seen from afar, and Zhan Junfei and others have to go out of the pavilion to wait for the new emperor, because Zhan Junfei is exempted from saluting in a wheelchair.

Mu Jinming sat down on his own, signaling the envoys to sit at will without much courtesy, and the stone tables and benches in the pavilion were removed and placed on the low tables and chairs, and a table for every two people was placed on both sides of the main seat. Three sets on one side are just right. The table in the main seat is slightly higher and wider, more than enough for two people.

Zhan Xiaofei did not see the location of the official. Expecting that the Wing King would not come, he was slightly disappointed in his heart. The envoys each got up to introduce their identities, and then the leader expressed his congratulations to Mu Jinming, sent a gift list, and Li Desheng took it in front of the emperor.

Mu Jinming glanced at it roughly and said that he was very satisfied, at least Yan Guobiao showed the greatest sincerity. When asked about the customs and customs of Yan Kingdom, the envoys answered them one by one, and the words were a little more casual and less formal.

Zhan Junfei has a preliminary impression of the new emperor who is only sixteen years old, it seems that the dignity revealed in the bones of the young man is unattainable, only this bearing is enough to sit on the throne, compared with the rumors, it is far from like a completely different person, if it is deliberately extreme and lonely, this scheming is really rare, and it is not underestimated because of age.

"Dare to ask where the Winged King goes, and I am an old acquaintance with the Winged King." The exhibition etude intends to probe the attitude of the new emperor towards the Winged King.

When Mu Jinming learned the name Zhan Junfei, he had already thought of the person that Xi Chao had mentioned, and glanced at it to correspond to Xi Chao's comments on it, which was really not to be underestimated.

Without waiting for Mu Jinming to speak, Li Desheng saw a figure coming from a distance, and stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness the Wing King has arrived." ”

Hearing this, Zhan Junfei raised his eyebrows and looked at the entrance of the pavilion, and sure enough, a plain white court dress was printed in his eyes, and the embroidery on it was very dazzling, which was particularly dazzling under the sunlight.

Xi Chao came here not to support Mu Jinming's scene, that is, he knew that Zhan Junfei entered the palace with the name of an envoy, and it would definitely not be with a long experience of leisure.

"Xi'er came at the right time." Mu Jinming used to like to call it like this, and when he heard it, it became another meaning in the ears of the envoy.

Zhan Junfei frowned slightly, and saw that the Wing King did not bow or accuse late, and did not see the eunuchs who wanted to add a position to the four sides, only to see the Wing King sit next to the new emperor again and again, on an equal footing, what's going on, even if the new emperor and the Wing King are friendly, they should not be divided into half of the position, it is against the etiquette law, the position where the prince should sit should be the right hand of the main seat, how to look messed up!

There is also that intimate whisper, even if such an intimate act of deep affection is staged in public, is it performed for people to see or there is a hidden meaning in it.

Zhan Junfei suddenly found that he used the words "deep affection" in an instant, and immediately smiled, secretly laughing at the inappropriate words, how can he say that the person who his son has fallen in love with Lao Tzu is a good story or a scandal?

However, after seeing the Wing King sitting next to the new emperor without any different colors, the two were not particularly close to each other, and it seemed that they were still a little unclear.

Zhan Junfei secretly said that these two people wouldn't have had anything to do with each other for a long time, right? I recall some of the rumors I heard and cut them out, and I get a result that is hard to imagine.

The Wing King and the new emperor are the same age, the background of the Wing King is enough to enter the palace, is it possible that he was misled by rumors at the beginning, the meaning of the dead Emperor Mu's love for the Heavy Wing King is not to ask for it, and now he is paving the way for the new emperor, and the Wing King is really matched with the new emperor!

This subversive result exploded in Zhan Junfei's mind, and a few deep meanings crossed his eyes, and he carefully observed the behavior of the two, and found that they were so intimate and harmonious, and there was a little more tacit understanding than his trusted friends, and he was absolutely not mistaken.

On the way to Zhan Junfei's thoughts, the dishes have been served, and the fragrance has diffused to hook back the distant thoughts. Eating with his head down, the wine and food are no longer delicious, and his mind is constantly balancing bold guesses.

The small feast fell unconsciously. The envoy can transfer in Beijing and choose an auspicious day to return to China, before the envoy left, Zhan Junfei did not leave together, but chose to stay for the purpose of doing so, and the smart man did not need to say more.

"The banquet without the courtiers is very special." Zhan Junfei said such a sentence meaningfully, looking at the expressions of the first two people.

"What does it make if you are there or not?" Mu Jinming pretended not to know the meaning of Zhan Feifei's words.

"Emperor Mu doesn't seem to care about the opinions of other countries?" It is necessary for Zhan Junfei to figure out the intentions of the new emperor.

"Even if acting according to the system shows great authority, trying to change the views of others with the mouths of a few people is tantamount to shaking a tree." Mu Jinming doesn't care what other countries think of Mu Guo, even if he really raises his national prestige and loses his prestige, how can the spread of a few words be compared to the trade-off of real strength. Absolute force is the only way to control the idea of others. If the surface work is done well, there is always a suspicion of slapping a swollen face and becoming fat.

Zhan Junfei is speechless to understand the strange way of thinking, what else to say, what is the use of the emperor not being in a hurry and not being a eunuch.

Zhan Junfei turned to the Wing King and changed the subject. Before the Winged King came in, he deliberately paid attention to whether the Winged King had a sword on his waist, and out of curiosity, he could not miss it if he opened his eyes.

"I heard that the sword in the hand of the Wing King can break the golden jade?" Zhan Junfei didn't dare to say bluntly that he could cut off other swords, and he was inevitably suspected of listening to the politics of Mu Guo.

"Zhan Gongzi knows enough." Mu Jin clearly meant something, so he didn't really care about it. There were no more courtiers who witnessed it at the beginning. How can I keep my mouth shut when I go back when I am frightened, it is normal to hear the inside story.

"I heard it over, down there." Zhan Junfei always has to explain, even if it sounds like a lie, he must dispel the doubts of the superiors.

"Can the Winged King borrow a view?" Zhan Junfei put forward his reluctant request, and his attitude was sincere and sincere.

Xi Chao glanced at Zhan Junfei, untied the saber at his waist, raised his hand and threw it, and Zhan Junfei easily caught it. Say thank you.

The sword in his hand is not much ornately decorated, and it seems to be no different from an ordinary sword. Pull out the sword a little more, the sharp cold light pierced into the bottom of the eye, and in an instant, you can still feel the cold of the sword qi when you close your eyes, it is really a good sword, but it is a pity that you can't pull it all out and look at it carefully.

It is taboo to carry a sword in the palace, except for special groups, such as guards who need to wear swords without leaving their bodies, others are not allowed, if you want to borrow a sword, the sword or knife is never allowed to be completely unsheathed, which is to prevent assassination in all countries have this rule.

Zhan Junfei secretly said that it is a pity, wouldn't it be better if he could try it, whether he can really sharpen the iron like clay and try it, and the original sword will be returned to the sheath.

"Does the emperor know that Wei Guo has not sent envoys so far?" Zhan Junfei talked about business and put away his thoughts.

"What do you think of Zhan Gongzi?" Mu Jinming added tea to the Xi Dynasty, and his expression was not different.

Seeing this, Zhan Junfei's eyes flashed and he said with a smile, "It's nothing more than Wei Guo's assumption of the throne when he sees that the young lord of Mu Guo is expected to be unstable, and his ambition is gradually growing, and he intends to resume the war." ”

"Oh." Mu Jin was not surprised, he and Xi Chao had already discussed this matter, and Zhan Junfei's purpose in opening his mouth was not to this, "Tell me what you mean." ”

"Mu Guo has a lot of confusion about the situation of the Wei Guo Dynasty, and it just so happens that he can help Mu Guo get familiar with the current situation of the Wei Guo." Zhan Junfei doesn't care if he shows his hole cards, the more vague the smart person speaks, the more he can't get the answer he really wants, as the saying goes, he can't bear the wolf and can't hold the wolf.

"Zhan Gongzi's intention is to provide patriotic trends for a fee, what is it in exchange for it?" Mu Jinming is not stupid, and what seems to benefit him always has to pay a higher price than expected.

Zhan Junfei is quite satisfied with the new emperor's upper way, and it is easy to talk to smart people, "I need the help of Emperor Mu if I intend to open an industry in Mu Country." ”

It doesn't sound difficult, the corners of Mu Jinming's lips swayed a touch, the conditions are really attractive, but it's a pity that he believes it.

"The authenticity of the news depends on the mouth of Mr. Zhan." Xi Chao sneered, "If you change to Zhan Gongzi, how should you choose?" ”

"The Winged King is the heart of a villain, and the belly of a gentleman." Zhan Junfei said casually, "With the status of the subordinates, why should you be the enemy of Mu Guo?" ”

"You are not the royal family of Yan Kingdom, and you can't represent the resolution of Yan Kingdom." Xi Chao poked Zhan Jun Fei to death, "If Yan Guo wants to use your hand to disturb the situation in Mu Kingdom, no one wants to bear the infamy of losing the country due to internal and external troubles." ”

"The Wing King is strict." Zhan Junfei had no choice but to insist on this, so he had to increase his bargaining chips, "I have been friends with the successor of Yan Guo for a long time." "Change the direction and tell the tide that he has the right to make decisions.

"It is useless in the general righteousness of the country." Xi Chao does not hold unrealistic illusions with a sentence without evidence.

Zhan Junfei's face changed instantly, no one dared to point at him and say that he was a liar, this feeling was really strange, and the irony in his eyes was full, "The Wing King can also be the master of Mu Kingdom?" "He also has a temper, and he doesn't think it's a little girl and doesn't fight back.

Xi Chao Tongren couldn't see the bottom of the depth, and a calm and light voice spit out from his mouth: "This king is different from you. One sentence ironically back.

Zhan Junfei choked, it stands to reason that even if his identity as a Jianghu person is entangled with the royal family of Yan Kingdom, he is still not as good as the Wing King of supreme glory, how can it be said that he is a prince of a country on the surface, and he can only be a businessman.

"A gentleman is difficult to chase after a word, and he can write down an agreement, which is beneficial to Mu Guo, and the Wing King has repeatedly shirked if there is a case, how can he take responsibility." The Flying Qi Wing King doesn't know how to lift, there are gains and losses, why bother with the little things that are lost, "Besides, the Muguo Dynasty is not a real monolith!" "The courtiers are not loyal to the new emperor, and if they let the Wing King mess around, the Mu Kingdom will be in chaos, and I don't understand what the Wing King thinks.

"Haven't you built enough industries in Mu Country?" Xi Chao said meaningfully, "The businessman's profit-heavy and cunning nature really lives up to his reputation. (To be continued......)
