Happy people are all the same, but unhappy people are different.

The joy of standing in front of the gate of the palace in Chang'an City is to sigh in my heart: the virtuous monarchs are different, but the dumb monarchs are all the same. From the east, he came to the gate of the palace of Chang'an City with Zhao Yanshen, but until this time, he had not received the word summoned by Yuwenyun.

Finally, just after Yu Wenyun had been counted from head to toe and from the outside to the inside in his happy heart, the eunuchs of the East Palace came belatedly and brought Yu Wenyun's will.

After strict inspection, it took nearly half an hour for Zhao Yanshen and his entourage to finally come to the East Palace where Yu Wenyun lived with the eunuchs who came to give the order.

The East Palace is the residence of the crown prince and is very luxuriously decorated. The splendid hall is very solemn, revealing the royal grandeur.

When he happily stepped into the main hall of the East Palace where Yuwenyun used to deal with political affairs, and saw Yuwenyun sitting in a high-end manner, he was very excited, and he couldn't wait to rush forward to have a close contact with him, and greet the latter's chrysanthemum with the wooden fan in his arms.

"Zhao Yanshen, the envoy of the Qi State, (happy) to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Zhao Yanshen and Xing Xing stood in the center of the hall and bowed to Yu Wenyun. Although Zhao Yanshen is nearly seventy years old, he is full of energy at this time, full of energy, and although his expression is respectful, he is neither humble nor arrogant.

"Two envoys are exempt!" Yu Wenyun looked at Zhao Yanshen and happy condescendingly, and raised his hand slightly, his tone was lukewarm, with a hint of arrogance in his bones.

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!" Zhao Yanshen and Xingxing saluted again and then straightened up, his waist straight, and calmly looked at Yu Wenyun who was sitting on the upper seat, without the slightest fear.

"I don't know what the two envoys are doing to see the palace today?" Yu Wenyun glanced at Zhao Yanshen and Xing Xing lightly, picked up a jade Ruyi on the table, played with it gently, and asked softly.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, first of all, Zhao Yin (Zhao Yanshen's name) conveys to you the greetings and blessings of His Majesty of our country to the emperor of your country, to you, and to the Great Zhou Kingdom." Zhao Yanshen took a step forward, arched his hand, and said loudly.

The corners of Yu Wenyun's mouth twitched slightly, and he said lightly: "Thank you Emperor of your country, this palace will convey it to your father for you!" Obviously, Yu Wenyun didn't pay any attention to this false greeting, and was a little impatient at the same time.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince!" Zhao Yanshen paused, and then said: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to get married at the beginning of the lunar month, so Zhao Yin was specially sent to Chang'an by His Majesty from Yecheng to Chang'an, just to send the blessings and bride price of the Qi Kingdom. It's a pity that the world is changeable, and Zhao Yin is very heartbroken about the sudden death of the Queen Mother of your country, and I hope that His Royal Highness can mourn by the way! ”

"Your country has a heart!" When Yu Wenyun heard that there was a bride price, his eyes flashed with a gleam, but unfortunately he was happy but couldn't see any sadness about the death of the slave.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I wonder what you think of the Turkic Khanate?" Zhao Yanshen stared at Yu Wenyun with his eyes tightly and asked solemnly.

"Although the Turks are brave and good at fighting, they are vulgar and unbearable, but they are just a rabble, and there is nothing to fear!" Yu Wenyun pouted disdainfully and said.

"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is very true, the Turks are just barbarian states, so there is nothing to be afraid of!" Zhao Yanshen high-fived and praised, but the words suddenly changed, "However, the Turkic barbarians are ambitious, and they want to go south and take the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains into their hands." They are afraid of your country's strong military strength and dare not openly invade, but they always cut the border, attack and harass the people outside the border, and plunder a large number of materials to develop themselves. ”

"Zhao Yin knows that His Majesty the Emperor of your country is eloquent and strategic, and he is a rare hero of time, and he has long wanted to eradicate the Turkic border troubles in one fell swoop, but it has not been carried out so far, because he is worried that my country will take advantage of the void and enter the country!"

Yu Wenyun stopped the movement in his hand and quietly listened to Zhao Yanshen's story, his brows furrowed slightly.

Zhao Yanshen continued: "And my country is also suffering from the Turks, and I want to eradicate the Turks, but I am worried that your country will take the opportunity to attack. The barbarian Turks are well aware of the current situation of your two countries, so they use the invasion of the border as a bargaining chip to demand a large amount of property to strengthen themselves, and now it has become a great trend. A month ago, a Turkic envoy had visited our country to ask for marriage, and wanted to marry with us so that we could fight against the powerful Zhou state, and my majesty agreed to the Turkic request after careful consideration. ”

"Zhao Yin, you are so bold, even if you have formed an alliance with the Turks, you dare to come to my Great Zhou?" Yu Wenyun stood up, stared at Zhao Yanshen with an angry face, and shouted: "Where is the golden gourd warrior, quickly fight with me to destroy the thieves!" ”

As soon as there was a sound of "hulala", seven or eight guards quickly rushed out, rushing towards Gao Xing and Zhao Yanshen like wolves, and the long pole weapon in his hand was shining with a gourd-shaped object on his head.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry, please listen to Zhao Yin's words!" Zhao Yanshen let the golden gourd warrior grab him, tried his best to straighten his body, without the slightest panic on his face, and looked at Yu Wenyun calmly and said.

Happy and fearless, he stood quietly, and did not look at the golden gourd warrior who restrained him.

"I want to see what you have to say!" Yu Wenyun waved his hand lightly, allowing the Golden Melon Warrior to let go of Zhao Yanshen and Gao Xing, and sat down again, looking at Zhao Yanshen with a cold and arrogant face, the murderous aura in his eyes kept jumping.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the ambition of the Turkic barbarians and wolves, and the intention of invading the Central Plains have never been broken. Your Majesty has a clear insight into the sinister intentions of the Turks, and has signaled to make a fool of them and paralyze them. At the same time, His Majesty the Emperor of our country hopes that your two countries can take a break from fighting against the Turks and completely eradicate the northern border troubles! Zhao Yan took a deep breath and said.

Yuwen Yun snorted coldly and said, "The Qi State and my Great Zhou have been fighting for decades, and they have a long grudge, how can they form an alliance?" Yuwen Yun looked at Zhao Yanshen condescendingly, and said disdainfully: "Now, my Great Zhou country is rich and strong, with millions of soldiers, and the Turks are just a mustard disease, so why be afraid?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wrong in saying this, although the Turkic barbarians are a rabble, but they are outnumbered and occupy the vast bitter cold steppe, even if your country can destroy it, but it cannot exterminate it all. In a few years, they will multiply again like weeds, growing stronger and stronger, so that your borders will never rest in peace! ”

Zhao Yanshen was speechless for a moment, and then a strong aura surged from his body, and he looked at Yuwen Yun without giving in and said in a deep voice: "Besides, as long as my Great Qi exists for a day, your country will not be able to let go of its hands and feet to attack the Turks!" ”

Yu Wenyun's eyes froze, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said gloomily: "Are you threatening this palace?" My Great Zhou soldiers are strong and strong, how can I be afraid of the Qi country? Yu Wenyun propped his hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and the murderous intent in his eyes was awe-inspiring.

"Don't dare! Zhao Yin is just stating a fact, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will seriously consider it! It is true that your country is strong, but our Daqi is also not weak, once the war between your two countries starts, how many soldiers and soldiers will die in other places, and how many materials will be wasted? Zhao Yanshen looked at Yu Wenyun calmly, suddenly sighed, and said with a sad face: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, your two countries were originally of the same origin, but for decades they have been at war for decades, making countless Li people in dire straits, and there are countless people who have lost their families, and they have wasted a lot of national strength, which is really not a blessing in the world!" ”

Yu Wenyun sat up straight, with a sneer on his face, and said: "The Qi State has married with the Turks, and now you plan to form an alliance with my Great Zhou, how does this palace know that you are not a delaying tactic, Mingli and my Great Zhou have reconciled, but in fact, they are colluding with the Turks and plotting against them?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's concern is not unreasonable, in order to express his sincerity, His Majesty the Emperor of our country specially sent the royal family to happily ask your country to marry and deepen the relationship between your two countries!" Zhao Yanshen smiled slightly.

"Is that him?" Yu Wenyun looked happy and asked, a cold light flashing in his eyes. Yesterday, although Happy was already quite dirty in his clothes, Yu Wenyun still recognized Happy at a glance, after all, it is rare for a man to be more beautiful than a woman. Thinking that his crown princess was smiling like a flower at Happy, Yu Wenyun felt a burst of jealousy and resentment in his heart.

"Exactly!" Zhao Yanshen replied.

Yu Wenyun looked at the joy tightly, without saying a word, and the expression on his face was cloudy. Happy stood quietly, slightly lowering his eyes, hiding the disdain and contempt in his eyes, and letting Yu Wenyun's hostile eyes sweep around.

After a long time, Yuwen Yun retracted his gaze, regained his previous arrogance and calmness, and said lightly: "Envoy Zhao, what you said has been written down in this palace, and this palace will present it to his father and ask him to make a decision." After speaking, Yu Wenyun gently covered his mouth with his sleeve and yawned.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince!" Zhao Yanshen hurriedly bowed and saluted, smiling all over his face, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is fine, Zhao Yin will retire and wait for His Highness's good news in the post house!" ”

Yu Wenyun waved his hand lightly, and Zhao Yanshen bowed again, first taking a few steps back slightly, and then turned around and walked outside the main hall. Happy was like a shadow from beginning to end, and with Zhao Yanshen's movements, he didn't say a word more.

Watching the happy figure disappear outside the door, Yu Wenyun showed a sneer on his face, and there was a hint of smugness in his eyes in addition to a faint killing accident.

As soon as he left the palace, Zhao Yanshen's straight back suddenly slumped down, his face was covered with deep exhaustion, his eyes became cloudy again, and sweat was faintly dripping from his forehead. His steps also staggered a little, and if he hadn't been helped by joy, he would have almost fallen to the ground.

"King, watch your step!" Happy holding Zhao Yanshen's arm, he said with concern.

Yu Wenyun is Gao Wei II, and he is a very difficult lord to serve. Now in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Yanshen and Xingxing are weak, and if they are not careful, they may be in different places. Zhao Yanshen, as the head of the envoy, not only wants to promote friendship between the two countries, but also cannot let Qi lose its demeanor and dignity. This quarter-hour meeting almost exhausted Zhao Yanshen's physical strength, and now that he is exhausted, it is even more difficult for his already old body to move.
