Chapter 322: Sister Wang
The next day, Lu Chen was above the court and said to the envoy of Jingguo:
"The envoy said yesterday that after deliberation, this king thinks that Feng and Jing are close allies, and that Jing Guo was bullied by Yan and forcibly occupied Hengyang, so my Feng Country naturally can't sit idly by, so this king decided to agree to King Jing's request and come forward to mediate this matter."
Ah! Hearing this, the Jing envoy couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted and said, "In this way, thank you to His Royal Highness the Wind Kingββ"
"Huh? The messenger does not need to be polite. As Lu Chen spoke, he picked up a sealed silk book from Wang's case and said: "This is a handwritten letter written by this king to King Jing's brother. β
When Jing Envoy heard this, he hurriedly walked to the king's case with small steps, raised his hands high, respectfully took the silk book, and carefully put it into his arms, and then said again: "Your Royal Highness the Wind King, please rest assured, you will definitely hand over the letter to my king in the next place." β
Just kidding, the letter between the kings of the two countries is equivalent to a national letter, how dare he be careless! If he loses it, I'm afraid he won't be able to save ten heads!
Lu Chen adopted Wu Qi's strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack, and decided to completely pull Jing Guo to the side of the Wind Kingdom, and at the same time that Jing Envoy set off to return to China, he also sent envoys to Yan State.
A few days later, the capital of Yan Kingdom, the main hall of the court.
"Wind envoy Gao Shijie, see His Royal Highness King Yan-" The envoy who went to Yan this time was an official in charge of copywriting under Xue Huairen, the right minister, the same as Sipin.
"The messenger is exempt." Yan King Zhao Jin waved his hand slightly, and said, "Brother Feng Wang sent Master Gao into Yan this time, I don't know what happened?" β
After Gao Shijie gave up his hand, he said: "Back to His Royal Highness King Yan, my king recently heard that your country ordered the general Han Yun to lead the Yan army to occupy Hengyang, Jingguo, and Jingguo also sent an envoy to the wind and asked my king to come forward to mediate this matter. β
It's for Hengyang again! When Zhao Jin heard this, he frowned secretly, and said with some displeasure: "After the five kings destroyed Hu, they met together after the autumn to cut down the company, and they had reached a consensus before, even the prefectures and counties, whoever grabbed it was whoever!" Why did the king say that he forcibly occupied Hengyang? β
"His Royal Highness King Yan is wrong with this." Gao Shijie said without humility or arrogance: "Hengyang County has long been ceded to Jingguo by Lianguo, and the handover procedures have been completed, and the officials of Jingguo have already taken up their posts in the local area, and it is precisely because of the 50,000 wars that His Royal Highness said, therefore, my king has to come forward to mediate this matter, which is also for the good of the alliance of the five kings after the autumn." β
Gao Shijie's attitude, not hurried, his voice was calm, there was no oppressive language, and there was no anxiety, after Zhao Jin heard this, he said impatiently:
"Since Brother Feng Wang has come forward, this king still needs to consider this matter, and he also needs to discuss with our ministers before he can decide, and the envoy can go to the post house to rest first, and tomorrow, this king will give a reply."
This was expected, Gao Shijie listened to it, and immediately bowed down and said, "In this way, I will retire first-"
After he left, Zhao Jin frowned and glanced around at the ministers, and said straight to the point: "The Wind King is too wide this time!" Our Yan army occupies Hengyang, what does it have to do with other wind countries!? β
Hearing this, a minister immediately stepped out and said: "King, since the Wind King has sent an envoy to Yan, then our country, on the surface, should not directly blow the face of the Wind King, otherwise, it will definitely anger the Wind King, but Hengyang is such a big county, and it is impossible to return it to Jingguo because of the Wind King's words, therefore, Weichen suggested that this matter should be delayed." β
Weichen seconded. Another minister also came out and said: "But the face of the Wind King is given, saying that it is returned, but in fact, the date of the return is determined by our country, and in the end, it is not that it will not be returned, and in this way, it will not be brushed off the face of the Wind King." β
"Well, it makes sense, just do it." After hearing this, Zhao Jin frowned.
On the other side, King Jing's Palace.
"Weichen did not fail in his mission and successfully persuaded the Wind King, who has now sent an envoy to Yan to mediate the matter." A middle-aged civil official knelt on the main hall and said excitedly.
"Lord Wang has worked this trip, this time he successfully lobbied the King of Wind to come forward, if you can ask for Hengyang, you will be indispensable." King Jing said in a calm voice.
"Ah, I can share the worries of the king, and Weichen is not hard." The official hurriedly said, and at the same time took out a silk book from his arms, raised his hands high, and said, "My lord, this is a letter from His Royal Highness the Wind King to the king. β
"Oh?" When King Jing heard this, he couldn't help but be curious, that guy already knew his identity, but he often deliberately made fun of himself, he was so good, how could he write a letter to himself?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly said to the eunuch: "Present it." β
"No." After the eunuch handed over the silk letter, King Jing opened it and looked at it carefully.
This letter was indeed written by Lu Chen himself, and it was stamped with the seal of King Feng, but the content of the letter made King Jing's white cheeks instantly climb up a slight flush.
Seeing his appearance, the ministers of Jingguo below glanced left and right, and some ministers asked curiously: "King, I don't know what the Wind King said in his letter?" β
"Huh?" King Jing was startled at first, and then put away the silk book in a panic, and said, "No, it's nothing, it's just some inconsequential, short words from parents......"
"Oh......" The minister returned to the train, but he didn't know why, some inconsequential content, how to make the king suddenly show a trace of panic.
In the past, Jingguo closed off the country and did not interact with the outside world, and the countries did not know that Jingguo was a queen, but the ministers of Jingguo were naturally very clear.
His prime minister came out and said: "The king, as the so-called general trend of the world, will be divided for a long time, and will be united for a long time, the countries have been fighting for hegemony for so many years, and now they are becoming more and more unified, and our country can no longer stay out of the matter, and the identity of the king is ......."
Knowing what he meant, King Jing took a deep breath and said: "This king understands, but now is not the time, if you let the nations know that my Jingguo is a queen, it will definitely be bullied, and I can only wait for my Jingguo to be stronger......"
As she spoke, she sighed faintly: "My father really shouldn't have passed the throne to me, if it was passed on to my third brother......"
Hearing this, Prime Minister Jingguo hurriedly said: "Don't pity yourself, the first king is a generation of Ming monarchs, and it makes sense to be the king!" Although the third prince is virtuous, but he is too weak, although the king is a woman, but he does not lose the majesty of the first king, and we and other courtiers must also do their best to assist the king! β
"We will swear allegiance to the kingβ" said the ministers on their knees.
King Jing is a woman, don't look at what she says so nicely, but in fact, if she really doesn't have a little scheming and skill, how can she sit on the throne!
Although she is not comparable to ordinary women, she is still a woman after all.
After retiring from the court, she sat in the study, and couldn't help but subconsciously take out Lu Chen's letter and look at it carefully.
Lu Chen didn't say anything excessive in the letter, but he was called Wang Mei at the beginning, and he teased it slightly, which was just right.
Her face turned red again.
