Chapter 748: Great Expectations
Chang San and the others rested in Shuozhou City for a day, and then set off for the capital, and Shuozhou's fast horse had already set off from Shuozhou.
The news of the last time the barbarians entered Beijing and asked for submission was not only circulated in Beijing, but also spread to all corners of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
For example, the post station on the official road is even more well-informed, so Chang San and they were immediately recognized when they appeared at the post station with the barbarians.
But now the people in the post station are not as afraid of the barbarians as before, after all, the barbarians have asked for submission, so what is there to be afraid of?
When they were halfway through Chang San, the messenger from Shuozhou had already arrived and came to the capital.
After reading Yao Rong's letter, Tang Ning couldn't help but smile and said, "Counting Chang San, they should also come back." ”
Wang Ge said with a smile: "It turned out that General Chang and they came back from the Great Wilderness, and I don't know if they brought good news." ”
Although he is a year older, Wang Ge Lao looks more determined, and the current situation has greatly stimulated him and made him full of motivation.
Tang Ning said with a smile: "Although I don't know the specific situation yet, it should be good news that I think it should be, because the high priest of the Desolate Clan has also come to the capital with him." ”
Elder Wang Ge was greatly surprised when he heard this: "Oh, the high priest of the desolate clan actually came to the capital in person?" In this way, it is very likely that the desolate clan really wants to return to our dynasty, congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor. ”
The high priest of the desolate tribe is equivalent to the king of the desolate tribe, and is the leader of the desolate tribe, and decides the fate of the desolate tribe. Since the high priest came to the capital in person without fear of danger, it can be seen that his sincerity is obvious.
Tang Ning said with a smile: "The high priest of the desolate clan not only has to come to offer the return to the table, but also to enter the population register of the desolate clan. Although it is highly likely that the desolate people are truly obedient, we still cannot take it lightly. ”
Hearing that the high priest of the desolate clan not only came to the capital, but also had to submit the Guishun table and the population list of the desolate clan, Wang Ge Lao was overjoyed, but as the emperor said, he still couldn't take it lightly.
Wang Ge Lao said: "What the emperor said is true, but the emperor can rest assured, not to mention that General Chang and Lord Fan and others have personally gone to the desolate clan to investigate, and the hundred officials in the court will definitely think about it carefully." If the desolate tribe is not truly obedient, there will definitely be horses' feet exposed. ”
Tang Ning nodded and said: "This time, the high priest of the desolate clan came to the capital in person, and he came to present the Guishun table and the population register, and there can be no lack of etiquette. ”
Although there are not many people in the barren clan, the high priest is also compared to the king of a country, and it is also appropriate for him, the first and auxiliary scholar, to go out of the city to greet him.
Wang Ge Lao smiled and replied: "This is the minister's business. ”
Wang Ge Lao withdrew from the Qianqing Palace, and immediately discussed with the Ministry of Rites Shangshu about welcoming the high priest of the Desolate Clan, and the news that the Desolate Clan had come to the capital again to meet the emperor also spread in the official office.
Compared to last year, when Yunye entered Beijing, there were almost no voices of resistance and hostility from these officials, after all, if the desolate clan really surrendered, it would be a good thing for Da Zhou, and it would be a great thing.
And according to the agreement, if the barbarians are obedient, then the Great Zhou, the grassland and the barbarians will jointly send troops to the southern expedition, and the Great Zhou will dominate the world, which is exciting to think about.
As for the envoys of Southern Chu and the Temple who entered Beijing to seek peace, they have long been left behind by these officials, what kind of glory is it to dominate the world? In comparison, it is not worth mentioning at all that Southern Chu and the temple sent envoys to sue for peace, let alone sending envoys to sue for peace, even if the monarch of Southern Chu and the priest of the temple came to sue for peace together.
In Kunning Palace, Xiao Qi was holding Xiao Yongfu to make fun, Tang Ning strode in, took Xiao Yongfu very rarely, and asked softly, "Are you well-behaved today?" ”
The little guy stretched out his little hand and didn't know what to say, Rong Xuan smiled on the side: "What's not good, I just eat, sleep and sleep all day long." ”
Tang Ning smiled: "Children are like this, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and in a few days when the wind is light, I will take her to the imperial garden for a walk, but the poor little guy has not gone out to play." ”
Rong Xuan said with a smile: "What the emperor said is that Lan'er also said that there are already flowers in the imperial garden, and she wants to go out to play with Xiao Yongfu." ”
Tang Ning hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't let her play with her, she is still a playful person." ”
Mingyue smiled: "That's different, Lan'er was stable when she was holding Xiao Yongfu." ”
Rong Xuan smiled: "Yes, it's rarer than me, speaking of which, Haiya should be about to give birth, and I don't know when good news will come to Beijing, Your Majesty, do you want to send an imperial doctor?" ”
Tang Ning shook his head and said: "No need, the imperial doctor can't help with giving birth, and there are mothers-in-law who can deliver babies on the grassland." ”
Mingyue snorted and laughed: "Looking at the tone of Haiya's letter, giving birth to a child is as simple as drinking water." ”
Tang Ning said with a smile: "The women on the grassland play small horses, and their physique is different from that of Central Plains women, so it is indeed easier to have children." ”
After finishing speaking, Tang Ning turned his head to Xiao Qi and smiled: "Xiao Qi, tell you a good news, Chang San and they are going back to Beijing." ”
Chang Three? Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and said in surprise: "Huh? Is my brother coming? ”
Tang Ning smiled: "I don't know this, I only know that the high priest personally came to Beijing." ”
Xiao Qixi said: "Ah, it's my uncle here!" My brother must have come with him, and he said he would come back if he wanted to come back, and he never broke his word. ”
Mingyue said with a smile: "The high priest actually went to Beijing in person, and the desolate clan is really sincere." ”
Tang Ning nodded and said: "It is indeed full of sincerity, the high priest will go to Beijing to present the Guishun Table and the population roster of the Desolate Clan." ”
Mingyue glanced at Xiao Qi and said with a smile: "The desolate clan is full of sincerity, and it is sincerely obedient, what do you mean by being the emperor?" ”
Tang Ning said with a smile: "The high priest can go to Beijing in person, he is really emotional, and he will be grandly received!" ”
Although Tang Ning also had a score in his heart, he couldn't have made up his mind before he met Chang San and Fan Wencheng, and the high priest must have the intention to return to Beijing when he entered Beijing, but it is still unknown whether he can negotiate it.
The more critical the time, the more sober and calm he became, so it was impossible for him to give Mingyue any guarantees.
Mingyue couldn't help but glance at him when she heard this, and she still didn't leak a word at all.
Rong Xuan said with a smile: "Peace in the world is the desire of the people, and the emperor also thinks of the common people, and will not disappoint the high priest's hospitality." ”
Mingyue also knew that Tang Ning was cautious, in fact, he had great expectations for this matter, otherwise he would not laugh so happily.
Mingyue couldn't help but smile with some expectation: "In this way, my senior brother should also enter Beijing!" Hmph, his nose is more flexible than anyone else. ”
