Chapter 13: The Envoy of the Kingdom of Change (I)

The envoy of Yi is here!

Hearing this news, Mo Ju, who had always been moody, actually stood up from his seat, he took a few steps and grabbed the collar of the messenger and asked urgently, "Is this letter accurate?" Who's coming? ”

The little colonel was frightened and stammered, "Quasi...... Quasi, after receiving the customs clearance documents from the envoy of Yiguo, the general of my family immediately sent a villain to send a letter to the military advisor, and the envoy was ...... It is the waiter of the Ministry of Rites of Yi Kingdom, which is equivalent to our ...... here The celebrant ......"

Mo Ju had already understood the newly established official system of Yi Guo, and interrupted him: "I know this, you can say your name quickly." ”

"It's Lord Xi Qunxi."

"Oh......" Mo Ju showed a smile on his face, Xi Qun he didn't know that he had seen it once, he knew that this was He Ran's most trusted attendant, He Ran gave him an official position as a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and it was obvious that he had his intention to send him an upright envoy.

He waved his hand and sent the messenger away, and sat down slowly. He Ran finally sent someone here, Mo Ju's heart was very warm, this period of Yi Guo couldn't help but send envoys to urge Zhao Guo to send troops to attack Shunguo, he already knew the news, if there was no He Ran behind the constraints, the traitorous minister and chaotic Kang Guo could not be so safe and sound, it was because people of insight from the government and the opposition all praised this He military division for his affection and righteousness to Kang Guo. He sent Xi Qun, will he have any good strategies to teach him? Thinking of this, Mo Ju sighed softly, no matter how great He Ran's ability is, but after all, he is thousands of miles away, how can he influence the affairs here, I only hope that he will send an envoy this time to arouse the Queen Mother's thoughts about him, a little Qingming, this is already the best result.

Thinking so, but Mo Ju always couldn't hold back the wisps of hope rising in his heart, hoping that He Ran could magically bring a turnaround to Kang Guo, but no one could probe his brother, maybe ....... Thinking about it, Mo Ju raised his voice to call people, and passed three messengers from the Military Division's Mansion in a row, and watched them leave quickly after the secret instruction, he felt a little more down-to-earth, no matter what, he had to ensure that the envoys of the Yi State arrived in Dechang safely, which he asked himself if he could do, after all, he was still a Kang ** division, and those chaotic ministers would not dare to openly tear their faces and endanger the people who the Military Division's Mansion wanted to protect, besides, they were still the envoys of the Yi Kingdom, and the more publicized Xi Qun traveled this way, the safer he became.

As He Ran expected, although Mo Ju was forbearing, he was by no means sitting and waiting to die, so he instructed Xi Qun to submit the documents to the Kangguo border in a dignified manner, he believed that Mo Ju would get the news before those traitors, and he also had the ability to protect Xi Qun to arrive in Dechang safely and meet Qi Min. Things are developing according to his expectations, after Xi Qun entered Kangguo, the garrison along the road took over the escort, beating gongs and drums to show grandeur, and from time to time local officials blocked the road to greet him, these people either read the old relationship with He Ran or read the recent help of Yi Guo, and some were instructed by Mo Ju, so soon after Xi Qun entered Kangguo, Dechang spread the rumor, although Ju Ran and his group were extremely reluctant to meet the envoys of Yi Guo when they got the news, the considerable situation was nothing to do.

When Qi Min heard that Yi Guo was coming, she immediately came to the court to meet her, and when she saw Xi Qun, she showed a bright smile on her face, and said in a cordial tone: "Xi Shilang, you are really prosperous in official luck, it seems that He Junshi treats you well." ”

It was rare for the ministers to see the Queen Mother so cordial to foreign envoys, and many of them showed knowing smiles and congratulated Xi Qun one after another. There was a rare warm atmosphere in the court.

Xi Qun stepped forward to give a salute, and thanked the ministers again, and then presented the credentials. This letter of state is just some meaningless nonsense, Qi Min took a cursory look at it and put it aside, politely asked some words like King Yi's well, and then waved his hand and dispersed, summoning the inner hall of the group for questioning.

After Xi Qun saw the salute again in the inner hall, he found that the pretty face of the Empress Dowager Kang had sunk, and there was frost in it, and he was secretly frightened, and he hung his head and stood in the air, not daring to gasp.

After a while, Empress Dowager Kang said coldly: "He's not dead yet." ”

Xi Qun naturally knew who this "he" was referring to, and bowed with a grin: "Empress Dowager, he ...... The military advisor is very healthy, but he often misses the Queen Mother, and his face is much less. ”

"Humph! That's what he taught you, right? Qi Min pursed his lips disdainfully.

"The Queen Mother is too worried, what the villain said is indeed the truth, and only the villain knows about this matter, this kind of thinking military advisor can't tell outsiders, just because the military advisor is here when the villain is around, so the military advisor will talk to the villain when it is difficult to vent his feelings for the queen mother, of course the military advisor will not say his feelings clearly, it is nothing more than talking to me about some big and small things when he was here, but the villain can understand what the military advisor thinks." He Ran taught him a lot of similar answers, and Xi Qun had already practiced along the way. He Ran also specially instructed the Queen Mother to call herself a "villain" instead of a "foreign minister" on private occasions, intending to make Qi Min feel that they were a family, and Xi Qun was not a messenger but a retainer.

Qi Min was speechless for a long time after hearing this, and just as Xi Qun was relieved, he suddenly heard the Queen Mother's case and reprimanded: "He is not dead and very healthy, what are you sending to do!" Why didn't he come himself! ”

How to answer this He Ran didn't teach, Xi Qun was a little stupid, and no one would have thought that the Queen Mother would ask such a thing.

When Qi Min heard that He Ran thought of herself from time to time, her heart surged, and her demeanor was out of shape for a while, and after noticing, she hurriedly stabilized her mind and said, "Did he let you bring back the things I sent last time?" ”

Xi Qun hurriedly took out a brocade box from his arms and presented it respectfully.

Qi Min opened the seal, and at first glance, his pretty face immediately changed color, and he glared at Xi Qun and said, "What does he mean?!" It turned out that Qi Min sent a torn picture scroll, that picture scroll was brought to her by He Ran after painting in the imperial capital and handed it to Mo Ju, Qi Min saw He Ran's own handwriting and himself from acquaintance to blind date The picture scroll was full of mixed feelings, and then because of love and hatred, he hated him and went away, under the violent fluctuations of emotions, he tore off a page and tore it to pieces, and after the resentment calmed down a little, he regretted it very much, the torn page painted the scene of her first play with He Ran in the palace courtyard, and the form and expression of the two people were extremely expressive. Thinking that everything is irretrievable, these paintings are excellent thoughts, and it is a pity that this page is missing, so she sent someone to send the torn page, wanting He Ran to paint another one, and the brocade box that she didn't want to send back was still a torn scroll, and there were no new paintings.

Xi Qun said blankly: "The military advisor didn't tell the villain what was in it, the villain ......"

Qi Min frowned, and after looking through the brocade box again to confirm that there was nothing else, he stared at Xi Qun and asked, "Does he have anything else to say or something for you to bring?" ”

Xi Qun hurriedly said: "Yes, the military advisor asked the villain to pay tribute to the Queen Mother: foreign things are not a pity, idealism is precious, and the new work is only ink, and the broken scrolls are tears." The military advisor said that the old is better than the new, and if the queen mother is reluctant, she naturally knows how to make amends. ”

After hearing this, Qi Min looked at the broken scrolls in the brocade box blankly, silently pondering these words in her heart, sighed softly for a long time, and suddenly she looked at Xi Qun puzzled and asked, "Is he too lazy to write?" Why don't you write a letter to me? No wonder she asked this question, although the words conveyed by Xi Qun were vague, they could still reveal some information, this kind of words should not be conveyed by others, and it is only right to write them in letters.

Xi Qun smiled bitterly: "The military advisor originally had a letter to the Queen Mother, but before I left, the military advisor took back the letter again. ”

"Why is that?" Qi Min was even more puzzled.

Xi Qun sighed and said: "The military advisor said, now that the queen mother is in charge of the government, it is better to be careful in everything, if this letter falls into the hands of outsiders, it will not only damage the face of the queen mother, but also give me my life, but the military advisor really has a lot to say to the queen mother, and it is not good for me to convey it, so the military adviser asked me to sigh helplessly in front of the queen mother for him." Saying that, he really made a helpless and sad expression, and sighed heavily.

Qi Min's heart couldn't help but tremble with that sigh, as if he heard He Ran's depressed voice that he couldn't express when he missed himself. She also knew that He Ran was warning her, even the envoys of the Yi State were worried that they would die in Kangguo, and the rebels had reached the point where they covered the sky with one hand.
