Chapter 319: Drugged and Black Cauldron
Unlike when he followed Xiao Jing into the palace to meet the emperor two days ago, on the day of the official submission of the credentials, there was nothing to do with Zhen Rong Qingfeng Nian and the little monkey, but Yue Qianqiu was forced to fast and bathe by the Yue Da Lord since the day before. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The only thing he was glad about was that the early dynasty of Northern Yan was not as early as that of its neighbors in the south, and most importantly, the emperor of Northern Yan, who was not so righteous, did not like that kind of complicated rules, so he would rather hold small-scale deliberations than waste precious time on the etiquette of the previous dynasty. For example, on this day, the grand court meeting that suddenly received the envoys of the Southern Dynasties was the first time in these months.
But now that it is summer, the sun rises early, even if it is under the rising sun for a while waiting to go to the hall, Yue Qianqiu has already felt an indescribable heat. Although he is a martial artist, what he can practice is not the legendary anti-heaven magic skill of the Ice Spirit God Light Xuanyin Dafa, which can make people cool down, so he can only force the exercise to make the wet clothes behind him dry quickly.
As for the complete evaporation...... Yan Xu may be able to do it, but he doesn't have that much kung fu......
At this time, he was envious of Zhen Rong who didn't have to come out to act as pillars. But after waiting for a while, seeing that the time he had said before should be almost the same, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the eldest master's body shaking, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned. Immediately after, seeing Yan Xu next to him, he suddenly grabbed Master Yue with a quick hand, and he was shocked.
He didn't care whether the Beiyan officials who would be provoked at that time would accuse him of misdemeanor or not, and rushed forward with an arrow step, steadily holding the other arm of Lord Yue.
"Uncle, you are ......"
Hearing that Yue Qianqiu directly took out the family title, if it was usual, Lord Yue would definitely reprimand him half-truthfully, but at this moment, he only felt a burst of sweat on his forehead, but he didn't have the strength to waste it on such an inconsequential matter.
Yan Xu looked at the sky, frowned and asked, "Could it be that Lord Yue is suffering from heat stroke?" β
Master Yue took a deep breath, and although his voice trembled a little, he still tried his best to say word by word: "It shouldn't be heat stroke...... Hotter weather than this is something I've experienced in Jinling. What's more, I only stood for a while, and then I started to feel dizzy and weak. β
"Could it be that there is a problem with waking up early and eating?" Yue Qianqiu immediately began to think about it. But if that's the case, why are he and Yan Xu okay?
"Perhaps...... I have been drinking tea after breakfast, which has been a habit for many years, and I have to make tea with hot water all the way when I stay in the inn. But today, because of concerns about going to the court, I only drank two sips. If I drink more, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand ...... Lord Yan, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on to the palace, and I'm afraid I'll have to rely on you for a while. β
As soon as these words came out, Yue Qianqiu and Yan Xu glanced at each other, and at the same time realized the seriousness of this matter. Although it is said that it is an envoy to the enemy country, and it is an enemy country that may invade the south immediately, it is very likely that there is any kind of danger, but now they live in the palace, not the previous Nanyuan Hunting Palace, and it is under the arrangement of the emperor, if this can still make people drugged, what does this mean?
Does this require a person to eat every plate of food and drink every sip of water before they can eat it?
Moreover, when Xu Houcong came yesterday, he also said that the people who went to inspect the carriage under the pretense of the emperor's will were all wiped out, and this situation still occurred even though he had already killed chickens and monkeys, was this simply trying to make them ugly, or was it a demonstration against the emperor?
Yue Qianqiu took a deep breath, and while his anger was burning, he saw Yan Xu clasping the wrist veins of the eldest master, as if frowning and judging something, he suddenly calmed down.
At this moment, the great court meeting of Beiyan has begun, whether it is Xiao Jingxian, the king of Jin, or the king of Lanling County, whether it is Xiaosi, the king of Lanling County, no one is here, Xu Houcong, the general of the magic arrow, also served the emperor because of the emperor's favor, and the guards around him are all unknown, so there is only one choice that can be made.
"The pulse is very messy, I just learned a little rough pulse diagnosis with Shiqi, and I can only judge that it is not like an ordinary disease such as wind, cold, wind and fever, and there is no good way." Speaking of this, Yan Xu regretted it a little. married a daughter-in-law from the concept of rejuvenation, why didn't he learn medicine by the way?
Without waiting for the half-hung Yan Xu to feel sorry for himself, Yue Qianqiu bluntly stretched out his hand to Master Yue: "Uncle, give me the national letter." β
As soon as these words came out, not to mention that the eldest master was stunned for a moment, even Yan Xu was taken aback. The latter said almost without thinking: "How can this be done, your eldest uncle is the main envoy, and I am the deputy envoy, and if you want to go, I should go." β
"Master, as long as the eldest uncle can't go, even if you, the deputy envoy, go, others will definitely find fault in every way, and I'm different. Being young sometimes has privileges, not to mention that there are also King Jin and King Lanling in the palace, and His Majesty the Emperor of Northern Yan seems to be a person who does not want to be fooled. Moreover, it is more appropriate for you to stay and take care of your eldest uncle than to go up to the temple and quarrel with people. β
Yue Qianqiu grabbed Yan Xu's sleeve as he spoke, and then grinned and said, "Master, don't worry. You forgot, King Jin mentioned that plan. It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, and today I will stand out generously and let people take a good look. β
Yan Xu had always wanted to forget that bad idea, and at this time, when he heard Yue Qianqiu take the initiative to mention it, his face suddenly sank. And although the eldest lord wanted to reject his nephew's proposal emotionally, intellectually speaking, he knew that this was the best choice now. However, he really couldn't help letting the underage Yue Qianqiu face so much pressure independently.
Seeing that the master and the eldest uncle were obviously hesitating, Yue Qianqiu said sincerely: "Besides, we went out to make a fuss two days ago, and I think we offended many people. If today's events are settled like this, wouldn't all the previous toughness be in vain? Rest assured, I know how to do it. β
Lord Yue watched Yue Qianqiu gently and skillfully take the national letter from his hand, thinking that Yue Qianqiu knew the two languages, he could only put aside the anxiety and apology in his heart for the time being, and said in a low voice: "You know all the etiquette best, remember, don't be impulsive, be polite and courteous." β
"Uncle, don't worry. Wait for me to go to the palace, uncle, remember not to die, and faint quickly. Yue Qianqiu said while clenching his fist on the back of the old man's hand, and then touched the fist stretched out by Yan Xu, and when he heard the high-pitched voice of the Xuannan Wu envoy in the distance, he smiled and said, "Master, you accompany the eldest uncle to wait here, I'll go!" β
In the main hall, the Northern Yan Emperor, who was rarely in the court, also felt that the lengthy etiquette was annoying and cumbersome. However, today's events were of his own making, and besides, he was sitting, and the throne was not like the south, but a tall and comfortable armchair, so he sat there with his head propped up, and looked at the ministers below.
When the shouting of the envoys of the Wu Dynasty was heard, after a while, he found that there seemed to be a commotion outside the hall. Immediately after, he saw a lone figure go straight into the main hall. It's not the envoy Yue Zonghong who he hasn't officially photographed, nor the Yan Xu he saw two days ago, but the young man who let him carefully read his resume several times.
The emperor felt suspicious in his heart, and the younger the fourth, the more angry he became. Although Yue Qianqiu is not his biological son, he has only been in contact with people twice in total since he returned to Jinling, once he was almost sprinkled with flour, and once he stabbed the Golden Branch with a hippie smile, but no matter what, the old man made such a cheap son for him, and he recognized it.
Even if this son has such and such shortcomings, and he likes to cause trouble very much, but on an occasion like today, Yue Qianqiu will never dare to casually take the duties of the envoy alone, there must be some emergencies outside!
What Yue Xiaosi thought of was also what Xiao Jing thought of first. Even if he didn't know Yue Qianqiu so well, he at least knew that this wise young man was not as impulsive as he looked. Therefore, he lightly pricked his palm with his fingernails and quickly moved his brain.
And at this time, a burly official had already stood up and made a challenge: "What about the envoys of Southern Wu?" Why is there only this one milky kid! β
Yue Qianqiu didn't seem to hear this, and walked directly at this official as if no one was around, and when he came to the person, he saw that the person looked down on him with his head held high and his face arrogant, not dodging or dodging, and he also did not dodge or dodge, so he just bumped into it.
However, in front of everyone's eyes, it was this collision, the guy who was at least twice his age and a head taller than him, was hit by him and staggered back four or five steps in a row.
And Yue Qianqiu took a few steps forward, and when he passed by the guy who had already made the way, he said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect this adult to look burly, but in fact, his body is a little weak, if he hits somewhere, I apologize." β
Without waiting for the embarrassed official to react, he nodded very insincerely, and walked forward a few steps lightly and skillfully, and then he saluted with the national book in his arms and said, "Foreign Minister Da Wu Zheng Liupin went to the court to Fenglang Yue Qianqiu, and I have seen His Majesty the Emperor. β
Seeing that the stupid guy who had just been knocked away by Yue Qianqiu was actually chasing after him on his feet, as if he was going to fight with Yue Qianqiu in this hall, the emperor suddenly lowered his face and shouted: "Ji Xun, give me a retreat!" β
Hearing this name, he noticed that the approaching person behind him stopped suddenly, and then retreated, and Yue Qianqiu suddenly understood who the person who jumped out to target him first was. On the day Yue Xiaosi took them into the palace, he happened to mention that he had a grudge against Ji Xun, the left general of the forbidden army. And after that day, the unlucky guy should have been dismissed.
But since he can still appear in this place of the court, either this person has a hard background, or he should also have other functions.
With these thoughts in his heart, Yue Qianqiu straightened his waist in a moment, and turned his head to look at Ji Xun who was indignant, and then faced the emperor again, and arched his hand confidently.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, just now this lord asked why there is only one foreign minister, it is because it was supposed to be the envoy Yue and the deputy envoy Yan to jointly present the letter of state, and the foreign minister was just a follower to watch the fun. I didn't expect the tree to be quiet and the wind didn't stop, so in the end, I had to send the letter of state to the palace by the minister, a six-grade sesame official. β
The emperor had learned Yue Qianqiu's angry mouth before, so he had no intention of having another quarrel in the main hall, and as soon as he beat the handrail to stop those officials who might jump out to show his eloquence, he asked angrily and funny: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop?" You will use idioms to exaggerate the facts, what happened? β
"Someone drugged me with the Lord of the Righteous Envoy."
As soon as Yue Qianqiu opened his mouth, he was drugged, and then when the officials in the palace were in an uproar, he said calmly, "When I was hunting in Nanyuan before, someone ordered to inspect the carriage of the mission, and this morning someone drugged my eldest uncle's diet, it seems that there are many people who don't want my letter of state to be sent to His Majesty the Emperor, so they would rather let His Majesty the Emperor carry the black pot!" β
If the word medicine has already made many Beiyan officials shocked and angry, then, when Yue Qianqiu said the three words "back the black pot", a yin wind suddenly swept across the huge Golden Palace. In an instant, there was silence.
Everyone thought of the past when the Son of Heaven on the throne seized the throne, and for a while, they didn't know how many faces turned white in an instant. At the end of the day, wasn't the reason why Emperor Beiyan usurped the throne back then because he was still the King of Wei and was framed for poisoning the crown prince and almost had to bear the black pot?
As a result, that time, the angry emperor really came to a coup d'Γ©tat, and in the end, whether it was the dim-witted emperor, the prince who played the bitter trick, or even the guy who offered the plan, they were all swept away like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves!
