Chapter 226: The Attitude of the Imperial Court

Just when Ji Qingchen was about to recuperate in the royal court for a period of time, suddenly an envoy sent by the imperial court arrived at the royal court.

It was a huge team of one eunuch and two hundred forest horsemen.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the imperial court only needs one eunuch and twenty or thirty forest riders to announce to the local government, but this time two hundred forest riders were dispatched, which is definitely not just as simple as announcing the decree!

Therefore, this envoy's team made Beirong Governor Meng Li and Deputy Governor Zhou Shun very unhappy, could it be that the imperial court was going to demonstrate to the royal court? Could it be that the imperial court wanted to show a tough attitude to the king of Northern Liao?

However, although the two of them thought so in their hearts, they hadn't said it yet, and they were just ready to wait and see. And when the envoy arrived at the main hall and read the holy decree of Emperor Yan to Ji Qingchen, it was really like the two of them guessing, just when the eunuch saw Ji Qingchen, and when he finished reading the holy decree given to Ji Qingchen by Emperor Yan, the generals in the hall were stunned.

Because in addition to severely reprimanding Ji Qingchen for his audacity, Emperor Yan's holy decree also ordered Ji Qingchen to return to King's Landing City immediately, saying that he could not delay for a moment, and stipulated that the time to King's Landing would be within a month.

To say that from Liaozhou to King's Landing, only one month is enough.

However, if you want to travel from the royal court of Beirong, it will take at least two months to get to King's Landing, and even a rapid march will take nearly half a month.

Now Ji Qingchen's body has not healed, and it is inconvenient to ride a horse for a long march, but Emperor Yan wants Ji Qingchen to rush to King's Landing City within a month, is this not clear to make Ji Qingchen ugly? Do you want Ji Qingchen to die on the way?

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the entire hall became condensed and smashed.

All the generals turned their eyes to the eunuch who delivered the decree and the two hundred forest horsemen in the main hall.

Because according to the usual rules, the Yulin Riders would not appear in the main hall when the decree was announced, and they should have waited outside the hall.

But now the two hundred Yulin riders followed Yang Gonggong to the palace together, and stood in front of Ji Qingchen so majestically.

What are they trying to do? Didn't you just want to threaten Ji Qingchen?

Isn't the purpose that if Ji Qingchen doesn't obey the order, they will take down Ji Qingchen?

This made Meng Li, who was the governor of Beirong, and Zhou Shun, the deputy governor, suddenly annoyed, and this Yulin cavalry didn't take the more than 100,000 elite horses of the Beirong Governor's Mansion and the Governor's Mansion in his eyes, right?

"Father-in-law Yang, what do you mean by this?" The angry Zhou Shun was the first to speak, his tone was quite harsh, and there was a murderous intent in his words.

Because he knew that Gonggong Yang was doing it deliberately, just to give Ji Qingchen, who had just returned from leaving the country and was in poor health, a dismount.

Because Gonggong Yang is no one else, he is a person with a background, he is a person next to the queen, and his master is the eighth prince Ji Qian, and he is a person from the side of the eighth prince Ji Qian, so he is not afraid of Ji Qingchen, because his backer is also very strong.

It is precisely because Gonggong Yang is the queen's person and the eighth prince's son Ji Qian's person, so he is not afraid of Ji Qingchen, so when facing Zhou Shun's questioning, he just glanced at Zhou Shun, and said weakly, "Vice Governor Zhou, this is not the meaning of the minion, but the meaning of His Majesty, didn't you hear the content written on His Majesty's holy decree clearly?" So, are you going to question Your Majesty's decision now? ”

When he finished saying this, he saw that Zhou Shun's rebuttal knew what to say, and saw that Zhou Shun's eyes moved to Ji Qingchen, so he said to Ji Qingchen, "Your Highness the Nine, before coming to the royal court this time, Your Highness said that His Royal Highness the Nine can return to Dayan safely, which is the blessing of Dayan, so it is more necessary for loyal guards to protect him along the way, so he will let the servants bring two hundred forest riders over to announce to you, these two hundred forest horses are specially designed to protect you back to King's Landing City." ”

"Hmphβ€”it's not protection, it's surveillance!" Zhou Shun snorted coldly, and coldly said such a sentence that could choke Yang Gonggong to death, but Yang Gonggong didn't care about Zhou Shun at this time, because he used the identity of Emperor Yan to kill Zhou Shun, so that Zhou Shun didn't dare to mess around.

However, Zhou Shun just said this, because after all, Yang Gonggong was using Emperor Yan to suppress him, and he had no choice but to swallow his anger in the face of Yang Gonggong's questioning, could it be that he wanted to say something rebellious to Yang Gonggong?

"So, this governor wants to ask Gonggong Yang a question, does Gonggong Yang think that our Beirong Governor's Mansion or the Northern Liao Governor's Mansion will not be able to protect the safety of His Royal Highness?" Meng Li was not afraid that Yang Gonggong would use Emperor Yan to suppress him, and he didn't like Yang Gonggong's arrogance even more, so he said loudly, "Or, Yang Gonggong, are you questioning the strength of our Beirong Governor's Mansion, or questioning the loyalty of the Northern Liao Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to His Majesty and His Royal Highness?" ”

"You-" Being given an army by Meng Li, which made Yang Gonggong suddenly angry, but he then said, "Governor Meng, this is what His Majesty meant, does Governor Meng have an opinion on His Majesty?" If you have any opinions, Governor Meng can go and tell His Majesty that you don't have to deal with the old slave to pass the decree, right? ”

"Gonggong Yang, please listen, the person this governor is asking now, not His Majesty, and please be able to answer truthfully." Meng Li was not induced by Yang Gonggong at all, he still stared at Yang Gonggong without squinting, and asked in a stern tone.

"You-" Gonggong Yang was forced by Meng Li to have no way to retreat, and he didn't know what to say, his arrogance suddenly weakened a lot, he groaned for a while, and then said in a low voice, "This, please also ask Governor Meng to atone for his sins, Yang doesn't mean this, please also ask His Royal Highness to be clear!" ”

He used Emperor Yan to suppress Zhou Shun, so that Zhou Shun couldn't say anything that was not.

But now that Meng Li is using the Beirong Governor's Mansion and the Northern Liao Governor's Mansion to suppress him, he can't say anything that is not.

Because he had long been in King's Landing, he heard that Emperor Yan's new governor of Northern Liao was bullied by the Northern Liao soldiers after he arrived in Liaozhou, and he ran back to King's Landing City with his tail between his legs in less than three days, and when Yanzi sent the governor to Northern Liao again, no one dared to serve in Northern Liao, which made him clear that one thing was that the Northern Liao soldiers were not easy to mess with, and the Beirong Governor's Mansion was even more difficult to mess with.

Therefore, now Meng Li is using the Northern Liao Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Beirong Governor's Mansion to suppress him, even if he has a temper, he can only endure it, because even Emperor Yan has endured the arrogance of the Northern Liao sergeant, how can he be a eunuch?

Therefore, when he was asked such a question, he had no courage to resist at all.

"Since that's the case, then you don't want to drive the dogs around you out of the hall!" Meng Li yelled, "Do you still want to use Bendu to do it yourself? ”

Meng Li's roar and rebuke used the momentum on the battlefield, coupled with the murderous aura on his body, and the murderous intent was revealed, which suddenly shocked Yang Gonggong, a eunuch who only showed off his might in the palace.

"You-" Gonggong Yang was shocked by Meng Li and took three steps back before he stood firm, not daring to face Meng Li's eyes, so he could only turn around and say to the Yulin Cavalry Captain, let them exit the main hall.

When the captain of Yulin Cavalry heard Meng Li call them Yang Gonggong's dog, he was already angry, it can be seen that Meng Li is full of murderous spirit, and he is ready to kill if he doesn't say a word, he is also afraid, after all, this is the Beirong Royal Court, not King's Landing City, so he led more than 200 cars to bow his head and exit the main hall.

After Yulin rode out of the main hall, Yang Gonggong's momentum weakened a lot, and Ji Qingchen in the high position said, "The meaning of my father is that this king understands, he is for the sake of the king's safety, but Yang Gonggong, you have also seen that this king is very weak now, and if he wants to reach King's Landing City within the specified time, this will definitely be difficult to do, so I will bother Yang Gonggong to reply to his father, and give this king a few more days!" ”

Seeing that Yang Gonggong was about to refute, he continued, "As long as the king is given two months, within two months, this king will definitely rush to King's Landing City to ask his father for his guilt, what does Yang Gonggong think?" ”

Gonggong Yang was silent for a moment, because he didn't want to agree to Ji Qingchen's request.

Because this is planned by the Eighth Prince, Ji Qian gave him an order, it is to use this fast way to consume Ji Qingchen on the way back to King's Landing City, even if he does not consume Ji Qingchen to death, he must be seriously ill on the way because of the hurry.

But now Ji Qingchen didn't say that he would return to King's Landing City immediately, but said that it would take two months to leave, and he also wanted him to promise to write to Emperor Yan, so that Emperor Yan would forgive the time to return to King's Landing.

At this moment, Yang Gonggong was very conflicted in his heart, because if he agreed, he would have betrayed the trust of the Eighth Prince, but if he didn't agree, it was estimated that his life would be thrown in Beirong.

This made him wonder what to do for a while.

"What, Gonggong Yang didn't give His Highness a son, didn't he agree?" Zhou Shun said on the side, his hand had been placed on the hilt of the knife at his waist.

When Gonggong Yang saw Zhou Shun's appearance, he was frightened and hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness the Ninth has misunderstood, misunderstood, how can the old slave not agree?" It's just that please rest assured that His Royal Highness the Ninth will go back and write to His Majesty, and explain the affairs of His Royal Highness the Ninth to His Majesty! ”

With that, he was about to leave quickly.

Seeing Zhou Shun stopped in front of Yang Gonggong, with disdain in his tone, he said coldly, "Don't bother Yang Gonggong to go back again, Yang Gonggong will write in the main hall!" When you're done, you can hand it over to the Yulin riders outside the hall and let them send it back. As for Gonggong Yang, he doesn't need a guild house, he will live in the royal court during this time! ”

After Zhou Shun's words were finished, he saw a maid with a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

At this moment, Yang Gonggong's body was weak, he lost his temper, and his heart was dead.

Because he wanted to take this opportunity to leave the royal court, return to the pavilion and write a secret letter to the eighth prince Ji Qian, and wanted to discuss countermeasures with the eighth prince Ji Qian, but now he was blocked in the main hall by Ji Qingchen, and he had to ask him to write to Emperor Yan, and he was forced to a dead end.

Just when the maid put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of Yang Gonggong, Meng Li spoke, and he said in a stern tone, "Please start Yang Gonggong!" ”

Yang Gonggong was forced by Meng Li and Zhou Shun to be helpless, so he could only write a piece of music to Emperor Yan with a pen, and answered the situation of Ji Qingchen to Emperor Yan truthfully, and then handed the chapter to the Yulin Rider outside the palace, and asked the Yulin Rider to return to King's Landing City at an expedited speed of six hundred miles.

In this way, he was freed, and only then did he leave the main hall under the escort of the royal court guards, returned to the small courtyard arranged for him by Ji Qingchen, and began his life in captivity in the royal court.
