Chapter 871: Entering Beijing
Lin Yi and Yang Yan rode horses at the gate of the capital and waited to greet the envoys of the Jin State, while Gu Moxi was in charge of answering them at the post house.
Originally, Lin Yi and Gu Moxi were supposed to be in charge of waiting for the envoys at the city gate, but Yang Yan was not polite, and he had already led people to wait at the city gate early in the morning.
"Report, General Lin, the envoys of the Jin State are about to arrive at the city gate."
Lin Yi led the forbidden army, and there were onlookers on both sides, they all wanted to see what the people of the Jin Kingdom looked like, and whether they were the same as the people of Dayan.
"I heard that the men of the Jin Kingdom are all tigers and bears, and they can lift a cow at once, and the women are just like the men, and they don't know if it's true."
"We'll see."
The people talked a lot, and they all wanted to see what the prince and princess of Jin were like.
Soon, Lin Yi saw the honor guard of the Jin Kingdom coming from a distance on his horse, and a team of cavalry walked in front.
The horses of these cavalrymen were very strong, and at first glance they were excellent war horses.
Lin Yi frowned unconsciously, in the past, when Dayan and Jin Guo were fighting, their cavalry was far inferior to Jin Guo, the reason was that Jin Guo's war horses far surpassed Dayan.
The envoys of the Jin State used cavalry to open the way, which made Lin Yi feel that they did not seem to be here for peace talks, but to show off their strength.
"Here we are."
Behind the cavalry were the prince's and princess's guards, who sat in two chariots, and by the carriages were their guards.
Each of these guards carried a sword at his waist, and his aura was high.
A person got down from the carriage in front, this person was wearing the costume of the Jin Kingdom, Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, Mo Ting? He is the prince of peace talks?
Mo Ting smiled and walked towards Lin Yi as if they had never met before.
"I am the third prince of Dajin Kingdom, and my sister is a little unwell because of the fatigue of the boat, and she can't get off the carriage for the time being, please forgive me."
"Where is the prince, we Dayan has a saying that there are friends from afar, please go to the post house to rest first, the emperor has set up a banquet in the palace, and when the evening comes, he will invite the prince and princess into the palace."
Of course, Lin Yi would not reveal Mo Ting's identity at this time, he could only pretend that he didn't know anything.
And Mo Ting also glanced at Yang Yan with his afterglow as if unintentionally.
Lin Yi took Mo Ting to the post house: "This is our Dayan's Gu Taifu." ”
"When I was in Dajin, I heard about your and Ling Zun's names." Gu Moxi's father was originally a military attaché, who had fought on the battlefield for many years, and became a civilian official because of injuries.
General Gu once beat the Jin army all the way to a place eighty miles north of Dayan, which made the Jin people fearful.
As the prince of the Golden Prince, Mo Ting naturally knew the name of the Gu family.
"The prince is serious, but the prince's Central Plains official is very fluent."
"Haha, Prince Ben has always liked Chinese culture, so he specially asked a teacher to teach me the customs and customs of the Central Plains."
He looked at the layout of the post house, and couldn't help but show an admiring gaze, the layout here was actually all placed in accordance with Dajin's customs.
"It seems that Dayan also knows a lot about our Jin Kingdom."
"The prince has an overreputation, these are all arranged by the lower officials, if the prince is dissatisfied with anything, he can ask someone to change it at any time."
Even though Gu Moxi spoke very modestly, Mo Ting could see at a glance that Gu Moxi was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
In the end, it is the son of General Gu, even if he is a civil official, he cannot be underestimated.
When he saw that there were totems of the Jin royal family in Shanghai in several of his cases, he understood even more that Gu Moxi's understanding of the Jin Kingdom was definitely not inferior to his understanding of Dayan.
Mo Ting originally thought that the people of Dayan were all arrogant and self-contained, and the officials in the court were all Yang Taishi and the like, even if there were a few pillars of talent, they could not pose any threat to the Jin State, but no matter whether it was Lin Yi he met before, or Gu Moxi today, they were all rumored to be more vigilant.
I chose to cooperate with Yang Yan, and it was indeed correct.
"Since the prince is tired of traveling, then we won't bother, before the palace banquet in the evening, someone will come to invite the prince into the palace."
After speaking, Gu Moxi asked the idlers to retreat.
Mo Ting squinted at Gu Moxi's back, and he felt that Gu Moxi's eyes were as if they could see everything.
And Mo Wan also walked in after everyone left, her face was covered by a veil, and she was wearing women's clothes today, of course.
"Why is my brother's expression so solemn?"
"If we can bring Lin Yi and Gu Moxi to our Jin Kingdom, it will be much easier to achieve our plan."
Mo Wan said softly: "My brother has a great cause, but now that we have just arrived in the capital, we must not act rashly, and we must focus on the overall situation." ”
"Of course I know, it's just a little emotional." Mo Ting sighed slightly, their Jin soldiers were strong, but they had no good generals.
The Jin Kingdom has indeed become a lot stronger in recent years, but because of the vast land and sparsely populated people, coupled with the large number of Jin princes, it is inevitable that the princes will be suspicious of each other, and they will have ghosts for the throne, and the hearts of the people are not aligned.
Mo Ting came to Dayan this time, firstly, to complete his plan, and secondly, to prove to the lord of the Jin Kingdom that he really has the ability to become the crown prince.
Mo Wan and Mo Ting are siblings of the same mother, if Mo Ting can become the future lord of the Jin Kingdom, she will be the most noble eldest princess, and she will naturally fully cooperate with Mo Ting.
"Order the forbidden army to defend it here."
The envoys of the Jin State have already lived in the post house, so the most important thing now is their safety, no matter what Mo Ting sneaked into the capital for before, now Lin Yi must ensure their safety, otherwise it will cause unnecessary disputes.
"This is the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can any thief dare to make trouble, General Lin is inevitably making some fuss."
Looking at the post house with five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry, Yang Yan felt that Lin Yi was too disciplined, and he would make the people of Jin feel that their capital was not safe in Dayan, and he would lose face in Dayan.
"Young Master Yang, I was ordered by the emperor to be in charge of the safety of the post house, so I naturally have to do my duty, if the little master thinks that I am not doing well, I can enter the palace and ask the emperor to ask the emperor to surrender."
Yang Yan glared at Lin Yi, he just said a few words, and Lin Yi moved out of the emperor to press himself, did he really think that he didn't dare to sue him?
"If the little master has nothing else to do, I will also have Dai Ze's forbidden army patrol, and I will not accompany you."
Ah Wu persuaded on the side, now Lin Yi is being reused by the emperor, if there is a conflict with Lin Yi because of this matter, I am afraid it will not be good, Yang Yan might as well be patient for a while, and then ask the master to join him in front of the emperor after the matter is over.
