Chapter 264: Receiving the Edict
After the audience with the Son of Heaven, Ying Kang and Liu Tong stayed in Haojing for a few days.
In the past few days, Zhou Tianzi was still honest, and let the chamberlain set up a small courtyard for Liu Tong in the pickaxe capital, and sent someone to send him daily necessities and money.
"I thought that the Son of Heaven was high and out of reach, but when I see it today, it turns out that the Son of Heaven also has a simple side." Looking at the various supplies sent, Yingkang sighed.
"Is the Son of Heaven also a human being?" Liu Tong said: "When today's son is a rare benevolent and virtuous king of the Zhou royal family for so many years, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see such a son of heaven in the future." ”
"What does Lord Liu mean by this?" From Liu Tong's words, Yingkang heard a different taste.
"Today's Heavenly Palace is greedy for fun and does not like political affairs, which makes the Son of Heaven very worried. After a hundred years of the Son of Heaven, the world of the royal family will probably change this week. Liu agreed and said with a deep taste.
The world of the Zhou royal family is about to change?
Ying Kang listened, looked up at Lang Lang Qiankun, will the world change?
After cleaning up the things here, Yingkang and Liu Tong began to set off for Longchuan.
Usually I don't come out for a long time, and I leave after finishing my errands, but this time I stayed in Hokyo for several days, and I felt a little lazy. After all, the prosperity of Hojing is incomparable to that of Qianyi, with merchants coming and going, carriages and horses from various countries, mink skins from outside the territory, silk from the south, etc., everything is available here, and it is simply overwhelming!
Originally, he didn't plan to buy anything, so he couldn't help but buy some New Year's goods for his wife and children, and the New Year was coming soon, so it was always good to prepare more.
With these things, Yingkang and Liu Tong immediately got in the car and returned to Qianyi.
Qianyi City.
It's almost the New Year, although Qianyi is a newly built city, but it still can't stop the enthusiasm of the people for the New Year, and the Qin people have won the battle in Chenyi this year, which makes the Qin people who have been deposited for a long time have an urge to celebrate. As a result, the entire Qianyi City was immersed in a warm atmosphere.
Two days later, Yingkang's car returned to Qianyi again.
"Lord Sima is back---" Before Yingkang walked into the mansion, the subordinate happily reported to Yingzhao, who was in charge.
"Oh, the fifth brother is back, let's go out and have a look." Ying Zhao said excitedly to Zhao Boyu when he heard it.
"Okay!" The two got up and went out to greet Yingkang and the others.
"Let's come here to move things together, Lord Liu and I have brought you a lot of good things this time!" Seeing Yingzhao and the others, Yingkang said to them excitedly.
"Oh, that's a lot." Ying Zhao commanded his subordinates to move things, and said to Ying Kang, "In the past few days since you left, Feng Rong has sent envoys to our Qianyi. ”
Oh?
Fengrong sent envoys to Qianyi?
Ying Kang listened, and asked, "What are they doing here?" ”
"I asked their envoys, and they said they wanted to negotiate with us and were willing to ransom Prince Angu with a lot of money." Yingzhao replied.
"How did my brother answer?"
Ying Zhao smiled after hearing this: "You are not here, how can I answer as a temporary director?" I told them that my lord Sima was very angry about your Fengrong's siege of Chenyi, and that your ransom was not enough and that your sincerity was insufficient, and asked them to go back and continue to prepare. ”
Ying Kang was still quite satisfied with the third brother Yingzhao's answer, "Why doesn't the third brother tell the truth?" ”
Yingzhao smiled embarrassedly, "Do I dare to tell the truth?" If I say that you are not in the city, it is equivalent to telling the Fengrong soldiers that you are out of Qianyi City. Can the Fengrong warriors who got this news still ambush you and Lord Liu on the way? ”
"Hahaha, the third brother has been going on for a few years, and you are becoming more and more shrewd!" Yingkang couldn't help but praise Yingzhao.
Diplomacy is actually a skill, and a simple sentence can reveal a lot of information. Therefore, Yingzhao also used skill in the process of answering Feng Rong's envoy.
"Hearing you say this, I can't help but be a lot nervous, fortunately I haven't encountered an enemy along the way, if I have to meet Feng Rong's team, wouldn't there be another fight?" Ying Kang suddenly felt a little scared after hearing this, after all, from Guanzhong to Qianyi, he had to pass through many passes and mountain roads, what if he met Feng Rong's team in a certain mountain pass?
Ying Zhao smiled honestly: "Why do I say that your brother is blessed with a great life?" But then again, as long as we don't say it ourselves, Feng Rong will never know that you and Lord Liu are going out. Besides, the ice and snow are not willing to go out, so you will never meet the Fengrong warriors. ”
"That's true!"
At this time, after packing up their things, Yingkang and the others returned to the mansion.
"Lord Sima went to Hojing this time, what was the harvest?" After entering the house, Zhao Boyan couldn't help asking.
After listening to Zhao Boyu's words, Yingkang gave Liu Tong a look.
Liu Tong stepped forward, stood in the center of the hall, looked around and said loudly: "Yingzhao, Zhao Boyu listen to the edict ---"
Hearing Liu Tong's voice, Yingzhao and Zhao Boyu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and after looking at each other, they were at a loss. After all, from birth to the present, they have not received the canonization and edict of the royal family, so they don't know how to do it.
"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and take the edict!" Ying Kang couldn't help urging.
Edict?
Whose edict?
Zhao Boyu was even more confused, "Accept the edict, you said let me take the edict?" How do you pick it up? ”
Hey---, I've never seen the world, I really haven't seen the world!
Hearing Zhao Boyu's words, Ying Kang wanted to laugh a little, but in the face of such a major event as receiving the edict, he couldn't laugh out loud.
So he stood in front of Yingzhao and Zhao Boyu and said loudly: "Chen Yingzhao and Zhao Boyu take the edict." With that, he bowed deeply.
Looking at Yingkang's appearance, Yingzhao and Zhao Boyu followed.
Liu Tong opened Zhou Tianzi's edict and read it aloud: "Qin people Yingzhao and Zhao Boyu are loyal to the king, loyal to the imperial court, stationed in the frontier, and bravely killed the enemy. named Zhao Boyu as the Sima of Qianyi, in charge of the affairs of soldiers and horses in Qianyi, stationed in the frontier; I hope that the two of you will assist Dr. Yingkang in Qianyi and share the worries of the king together. ”
After listening to Zhou Tianzi's edict, Yingzhao and Zhao Boyu were stunned, "So I'm really Sima?" ”
"The ministers will obey the king's orders, and they will be loyal to their duties, do their best, and live up to the trust of my king." Just when Zhao Boyu was still stunned and at a loss, Yingkang said loudly.
"Oh---, do as the king commands, and kill the enemy with all your might." Zhao Boyu hurriedly said.
"Everyone, take the edict." Liu Tong put away the edict and said to Yingkang and the others.
Ying Kang stepped forward and took the edict with both hands.
Only then is all the procedures considered complete.
Looking back, the usually heroic Zhao Boyu had sweaty hair on his head, wiped a handful of sweat on his head, Zhao Boyu said in surprise: "Oh, I haven't gone through such a scene when I'm so big, I didn't expect that this week the Son of Heaven would remember me Zhao Boyu Such a small person?" They all gave me a Sima. Oops, it would be strange if my dad would not be happy to die if he found out. ”
Zhao Boyu couldn't hide the joy in his heart and said happily.
"The grace of my king is high and long, and we should be more loyal to the king and guard the frontier for my king, so that we can repay my king's kindness." Yingzhao is old in the end, and he speaks with a clear look.
"Brother, the Son of Heaven has officially sealed the land of Longchuan to our Qin people." Looking at Yingzhao's joyful appearance, Yingkang said to him.
"The Son of Heaven is Mingjian, the Son of Heaven is wise!" After saying that, Yingzhao raised his head and looked at the sky in the west, and said loudly: "Father, rest in peace, we Qin people have finally gained a foothold in Guanzhong." ”
