Chapter 112: Intent

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, under the toasts of the envoys of various countries, Zhang Lingyang couldn't help but drink a little higher.

Looking at the little prince sitting not far from the next head, Zhang Lingyang asked, "I heard that your father Khan is nearly sixty years old, I don't know if his body is still healthy?" ”

The little prince got up, bowed and said, "Thank you for your care Your Majesty the Emperor, the father of the little minister, Khan's body is quite tough!" ”

Zhang Lingyang asked again: "I heard that in recent years, Warat has become more and more powerful, and there are more than 300,000 cavalry archers, but I don't know if it's true?" ”

Hearing this, the little prince couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then replied: "These are just nonsense, His Majesty the Emperor is laughing!" ”

"Are you kidding?" A glimmer of light flashed in Zhang Lingyang's eyes, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"To be honest, I really want to go to the grassland for a walk and experience the feeling of 'the sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep'!"

Hearing Zhang Lingyang say this, the little prince's heart couldn't help but burst, and he thought: "Could it be that this is the Great Zhou Emperor declaring war on Wara?" ”

After all, the Han emperor personally went to the grassland, certainly not for hunting.

The meaning of Zhang Lingyang's words is self-evident.

At least, that's what the little prince himself thinks.

When Zhang Lingyang was talking to the little prince, the banquet that was originally staggered gradually became cold.

The envoys of all countries and the important ministers of the Great Zhou all opened their ears to listen.

When they heard Zhang Lingyang say that he wanted to go to the grassland, many envoys of the vassal kingdom gloated.

After all, the emperor of the Great Zhou went to the grassland in person, which meant that he wanted to drive the expedition in person and crusade against Wara, a vassal state that often made small moves behind the Great Zhou.

And unlike those vassal envoys who thought, the important ministers of the Great Zhou couldn't help but feel nervous when they heard Zhang Lingyang say this.

Without him, there would be wars in both the southwest and northwest of the Great Zhou now.

If Zhang Lingyang starts a war against Warat again at this moment, although the Great Zhou is strong, it may not be able to win.

Therefore, after listening to Zhang Lingyang's words, Sun Ding'an, the prince of Ningguo, wanted to get up and advise.

However, all of this was seen by Zhang Lingyang, and after giving Sun Ding'an a slightly calm look, Zhang Lingyang looked at the little prince and said: "When the horses are fat in the autumn of next year, I want to go out of the customs to Tumubao to meet with the Great Khan of Warat, and after returning to the grassland, the little prince must inform your father Khan of my words!" ”

"The minister obeys!" Seeing Zhang Lingyang say this, the little prince couldn't understand what Zhang Lingyang was planning in his heart for a while, so he had to answer hard.

But from Zhang Lingyang's words, the little prince still understood.

Da Zhou had no intention of going to war with Wara.

"But why did the Great Zhou Emperor go to Tumu Fort in person to meet with his father Khan next autumn? Is it just for a show of force? The little prince guessed in his heart.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Immediately, the little prince shook his head secretly.

The little prince had something on his mind, and he didn't look like he belonged all night.

But Zhang Lingyang was still smiling, as if nothing had happened.

The rest of the vassal envoys originally wanted to see the excitement, but in the end, the excitement did not come to fruition.

For a while, the atmosphere of the banquet became a little weird.

It was in this strange atmosphere that Zhang Lingyang took the willow waists of Concubine Gao and Concubine Zheng and left the banquet.

As soon as Zhang Lingyang left, the rest of the people naturally dispersed.

When Sun Dingan saw Zhang Lingyang leaving, he originally planned to follow him and ask Zhang Lingyang what his plans were.

It can be seen that the noble concubines and Zheng Guifei on both sides of Zhang Lingyang had to sigh and leave the palace......

Back at the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, Zhang Lingyang played a game of one dragon and two phoenixes with Concubine Gao and Concubine Zheng Guifei.

Concubine Zheng Guifei, that is, Zheng Siqi, has succumbed to fate since the last time she was Zhang Lingyang, and then obeyed Zhang Lingyang's words.

Therefore, this night, Zhang Lingyang wanted to play a game of one dragon and two phoenixes, Zheng Siqi did not resist or struggle, but chose to obediently cooperate with Concubine Gao and serve Zhang Lingyang comfortably with Concubine Gao.

Although Zheng Siqi has worked hard to do it, he is still very different from the veteran Gao Guifei in terms of technology.

However, Zhang Lingyang was greatly satisfied in his heart.

After getting up the next day, Zhang Lingyang felt refreshed.

Concubine Gao and Zheng Siqi were still asleep when Zhang Lingyang got up last night because of too much physical exertion.

The two women's fragrant shoulders were exposed, and because the charcoal fire in the hall was very hot, the two women did not feel the slightest cold.

Looking at the messy big bed, and the two girls who still had a trace of blush on their faces, and some bruises on their shoulders and necks, Zhang Lingyang couldn't help but smile with satisfaction on the corner of his mouth.

Without waking up the two girls, Zhang Lingyang finished dressing under the service of the palace maid, and after a little breakfast, Zhang Lingyang went to Qianqing Palace.

Since entering the winter, Zhang Lingyang's days of going to court are numbered.

Today is no exception, after reviewing some folds in the Qianqing Palace, Sun Sheng outside the door entered the hall and said that Sun Ding'an, the Duke of Ningguo, and Zheng Yongji, the first assistant of the cabinet, came together.

Without thinking too much, Zhang Lingyang knew that the two of them had come for the meeting with Warat Khan that he had said last night.

After all, from ancient times to the present, there has never been an emperor who went to the grassland in person.

Except for the emperor who conquered the grassland tribes!

"Quickly announce the entry of the two Aiqing into the palace!" Putting down the brush in his hand, Zhang Lingyang said.

Nowadays, although Zhang Lingyang's brush words cannot wait for the elegant hall, the font is not ugly, so now Zhang Lingyang is mostly doing it himself.

After Sun Dingan and Zheng Yongji sat down, before they could speak, Zhang Lingyang smiled and said, "Presumably the two Aiqing are here for last night's incident!" ”

Sun Ding'an and Zheng Yongji nodded, and Zheng Yongji spoke: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this matter is serious, and I ask Your Majesty to take back your order!" ”

"Sun Aiqing, do you think so too?" Looking at Sun Ding'an, Zhang Lingyang asked.

"Your Majesty's intention in saying that last night, the old minister can also guess some meaning. But after all, the dragon body is precious, and His Majesty can't help but guard against some possible dangers.

Therefore, the old minister thought that His Majesty might as well send a reliable minister to meet with the Great Khan of Warat at Tumu Fort after the autumn of next year! Sun Ding'an clenched his fists and said, "If Your Majesty is relieved, the old minister can go to Tumu Fort on behalf of Your Majesty to meet with the Great Khan of Warat." Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds? ”

"The two Aiqing are too worried!" Zhang Lingyang waved his hand and said disapprerovingly, "I already have an idea in my heart, don't persuade the two Aiqing!" ”

Last night, although Zhang Lingyang drank a little high, he is not a drunken nonsense person after all, how can he not speak through his brain?
