Chapter 52: The Emperor

The envoys of the two countries, to put it bluntly, are no different from the two gangs, no matter what, they can't lose their momentum.

Especially at the moment when the Yan army is still occupying a good situation, it is natural that you can be crazy how to come, the more arrogant you are, the more jealous you are, the most important thing is this mission, if you weaken the momentum and publicize it, the good deeds that were originally placed in front of you will instantly become a sin of humiliating the country.

Yan Ren is too proud, it is absolutely impossible to allow his own envoys to be angry outside, but he secretly swallows his good name, what does he say, and takes care of the overall situation.

However, you still have to pinch this degree, and if you go too far, you may not be able to get out of this city.

Zheng Fan's unsparing posture really made the surrounding cadres a little overwhelmed, and the envoys of the two countries actually had frequent exchanges in the past, but no matter what, this is the first time I have seen such a "head iron" like an envoy who is ruthless on the street.

"Swallow Dog !!"

The young general was about to rush with his sword, but was stopped by the men on both sides.

"Don't stop me, don't stop me, I'm going to cut off this swallow dog's head!"

Shao Wenjie couldn't be silent at this time, otherwise it would not be the face of the Yan people but the face of the dry people, although he couldn't say it now, what face was left of the Qianguo who was attacked by the enemy army in the capital.

"General Zu, Your Majesty has summoned the envoy of Yan Guo to come, and he will not retreat!"

General Zu?

Zheng Fan remembered that there was still an ancestor Dongcheng tied in his army, and there was another one surnamed Zu here, was it an ancestral family?

At this time, the blind man's voice sounded from Zheng Fan's heart:

"Lord, if nothing else, this person should be from the ancestral family in the southeast, Zu Dongcheng, the eldest son of the ancestral family, was detained in our army, but Zu Zhuming's second son was sent to Shangjing as a lieutenant of the forbidden army very early, which is somewhat similar to the meaning of proton.

Now that he is so excited, it must be because he thinks that his brother has died at the hands of our army. ”

The blind man's chats with so many files and those captured officials of the Qianguo these days were naturally not in vain, just like an encyclopedic interpretation, saving Zheng Fan from having a black eye as soon as he came in.

After knowing it in mind,

Zheng Fan hurriedly spoke:

"This, but General Xiaozu?"

"Swallow dog! Swallow Dog! ”

Zu Dongling continued to curse while struggling.

"General Xiaozu, I think there should be some misunderstanding between us, Brother Ling and I hit it off at first sight, and we have already become brothers of the opposite sex, it stands to reason that I should also be your brother."

When Zu Dongling heard this, he was stunned, and many people present were stunned.

Shao Wenjie secretly said bad in his heart, and hurriedly said:

"General Zu, step aside!"

"My eldest brother is not dead? He's not dead yet? Zu Dongling shouted with some excitement.

Shao Wenjie was in a hurry, how could these things be asked in front of so many people now?

Zheng Fan nodded and said:

"Brother Ling is naturally fine, and my marquis also appreciates Brother Ling's talent and learning, and these days, he often exchanges with Brother Ling about the method of military training.

My marquis also said that the ancestral family's method of military training is unparalleled in the world, and it is worthy of the southeast pillar country! ”

Zu Dongling couldn't figure out something was wrong at this time, no matter how dull his brain was.

Zheng Fan didn't care anyway, he didn't want money's eye drops and sprinkled them out one by one.

"The silver armor guard listens to the order, Your Majesty has a decree, lead the Yan envoy to the audience, and anyone who dares to stop will be killed!"

The Silverarmor immediately drew his saber and pointed around.

Shao Wenjie breathed a long sigh of relief, squinted at Zheng Fan, and sighed in his heart Don't look at this Yan envoy who doesn't look like an envoy at all, but he is unexpectedly flexible when he does the work of an envoy.

Zu Dongling didn't dare to stop it anymore, Zheng Fan got into the carriage, and the silver armor guard opened the way and entered the palace directly.

The curtains in the car were lifted, and they were still wooden planks, a bit similar to the windowless express hotels in later generations, but in order not to make you so depressed, they deliberately made a window in the form of a window.

It is estimated that this is not to let himself see the real situation in the capital at this time.

In fact, this kind of cover-up is a kind of desire to cover up, if the military and civilians in Shangjing are united to resist external humiliation, how can they hide it and not let you see it?

Zheng Fan leaned back in the car, chose a more comfortable position, and asked the blind man sitting in the car together, and said:

"How?"

The blind man said very calmly: "People are panicking. ”

Zheng Fan nodded, the expected result.

When the carriage came to the gate of the palace, it did not ask to get off the car for inspection, but turned directly into it and traveled for a while.

After about a stick of incense, the carriage stopped.

Shao Wenjie lifted the curtain,

Road:

"Yan Envoy, please get out of the car."

Zheng Fan got out of the carriage, but before the blind man and Ah Ming in the carriage got down, the carriage moved again.

"Yan Envoy, your entourage will go and wait for you with some refreshments."

Zheng Fan nodded quietly, in fact, he began to panic a little in his heart, just like the cheat sheet he did all night before the exam, but before entering the examination room, he found that the cheat sheet was not brought.

However, if you have come, you will be safe, and you are here, and being afraid is useless, let alone interesting.

Generally speaking, the first half of the palace is actually a place for office, and the second half is where the emperor and his concubines live.

The imperial palace of Qianguo is very luxurious, even if you look at it with the eyes of modern people, it is still shocking enough.

The wealth of the country is really worthy of its name.

When he walked further and was about to cross a courtyard, Shao Wenjie made a gesture of please, and a little eunuch appeared in front of him, and the two made a handover, and the little eunuch played a lantern and motioned for Zheng Fan to follow him.

Don't you go to see the civil and military officials?

In Zheng Fan's original assumption, he might face the civil and military affairs of the Qianguo in the court, and he would have to fight with the heroes or something.

But obviously, this step seems to have been skipped.

After walking another distance with the little eunuch, the little eunuch stopped in front of an arch, bowed slightly, and took a few steps back.

Zheng Fan nodded and walked straight in.

before entering,

Zheng Fan saw a female captain in silver armor appear in front of him,

"Yan Envoy, offended."

Zheng Fan did not resist and stretched out his hands.

This feeling is similar to that when you go through airport security in the next life.

Moreover, she is still a female silver guard, okay, not resistant, and her hands are soft.

Zheng Fan didn't have a blade on his body, and the only thing that might have a little impact might be the magic pill in his clothes.

But the magic pill is a chicken thief,

When the female silver armor's hand checked it, the magic pill went down.

When the female silver guard's hand checked underneath, the pill went back in a roundabout way.

From beginning to end, it was silent, and there was not the slightest breath revealed, which is probably the ability of the magic pill, because it is a soul body, and it is in a self-seal, which is difficult to detect.

Unless this silver-armored guard is a blind man-like being, or a spiritual mage that is said to exist in the West.

After the inspection, the female silver armor guard stepped down.

Zheng Fan continued to walk forward,

After passing through a corridor, we came to a conservatory.

Because, standing at this door, you can feel a wave of heat coming in, as if you are walking into a sauna.

Looking left and right, and finding that no one came to direct and guide him, Zheng Fan pushed the door open.

There are no charcoal basins in the house, but it is indeed warm, and the floor is covered with expensive carpets, and the furnishings are not only delicate but also very comfortable.

Xu is because he was a painter in his previous life, so Zheng Fan is very sensitive to the collocation and design of this sense of picture, and at first glance, he feels that this is the arrangement of a famous artist, reflecting the taste of the master's family.

"Come in quickly and close the door, don't let the cold wind run in."

Inside, a man's voice was heard, with a slight languidness.

To be able to say it in such a tone from this position in the palace, there must be no one else but that one.

Zheng Fan let out a breath, walked in, closed the door and turned around, looking for the direction of the sound and walked around the screen.

"Bang la la ............"

The sound of water waves came,

Followed by

Zheng Fan saw a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe with wet hair walking out from behind.

"Foreign envoy Zheng Fan, see His Majesty the Emperor of Qianguo!"

Zheng Fan did not kneel, but made a gesture.

Emperor Qian, who looks like he is in his forties, may be a few years younger than Emperor Yan, but in terms of maintenance, he must be too particular about Emperor Yan.

"Calm down, there is food and drink here, and when you are thirsty and hungry, you can eat yourself."

Speaking of which,

Emperor Qianhuang personally walked to an incense burner, chose sandalwood to light it, and after ordering, he also fanned the wind lightly with the palm of his hand, sniffed it, and showed a satisfied look on his face.

Zheng Fan was not polite, and walked to the table, where there was a lot of food, most of which were actually cold dishes and pastries, and many pastries were categories that Zheng Fan had never seen.

I chose some, picked it up and put it in my mouth, not to mention, the taste is really good, no worse than the pastries of later generations.

Followed by

Zheng Fan poured himself another glass of wine, the wine was red, it should be wine, and there was ice cubes in a jar next to it.

The cold wine was down, and the whole person was suddenly refreshed.

Zheng Fan simply stood there, concentrating on the food in front of him.

Taste this one, eat two bites of that,

Gee

When the soil buns enter the city, they are really not afraid of people's jokes, anyway, they only got the lining after eating it, face or something, how much is it worth?

Besides, there are only two people in the house here, myself and the Qianhuang, and I am not afraid of my appearance and unproductive appearance.

"Are you short of food in the Yan army, look at you starving, no, it stands to reason that after fighting all the way, there should be a lot of captured grain, and there should be no shortage of food."

Qianhuang reclined on a chair and asked while holding a string of Bodhi in his hand.

Zheng Fan swallowed the food in his mouth and said:

"There is no shortage of food in the army, but Your Majesty should know that the food in the army can be full, even if it is thankful, it is really not as fine as Your Majesty here."

"Looks like you're still a good eater."

"People live for a lifetime, there are only two things that are the most beautiful, one is food, and the other is beauty."

"It's a little biased, but it can be regarded as saying the appearance of all beings, but in this world, in addition to food and beautiful women, there are actually many better things."

"But only for people like you, Your Majesty, can pursue it."

Zheng Fan grabbed a handful of green particles that looked like raisins but didn't taste raisins at all and walked over, and he was not polite, and sat down directly on the blanket in front of the emperor.

The Taoist robe on the Qianhuang's body, that is, he didn't button it, and a lot of white flesh was exposed.

To be honest, a man showing his flesh in front of you really doesn't look a little uncomfortable.

"Oh, tell me, what is the purpose of living in this life?"

Zheng Fan silently ate what he was holding.

"Why don't you speak?" Emperor Qianhuang asked.

"In this world, many people can only think about what they will eat tomorrow, but they can't think of such a far-reaching thing."

"Oh, I see, you mean, I'm deliberately talking to you about these haves and haves?"

Zheng Fan nodded.

The Emperor's dress is indeed a little too relaxed, but at this time, it is a little too deliberate.

Moreover, Zheng Fan came over to provoke the monarchs and ministers of the Qianguo, and now that the courtiers have not been able to see them, they can only see the emperor, so they can only make the emperor angry first.

However, you have to be careful that you will not be beheaded by the emperor in a fit of rage.

"I actually do this every day, but it's not for you."

"Your Majesty is really interested."

"What about Ji Runhao, he can't be so chic, right?"

"Conscientious, diligent." Zheng Fan sighed, glanced around, and said, "Your Majesty, you are really the emperor's life. ”

"Have you thought about it?"

Zheng Fan shook his head.

"You really don't want to?"

"I really don't want to."

"Why?"

"Because it's not been a few days."

"Hahaha........."

The Emperor burst out laughing, and the laughter echoed in the room, and the laughter seemed to be about to flow out of his eyes.

Zheng Fan got up, went there to get a plate of pastries, walked over, sat down, and continued to eat.

"Why don't you ask me why I laughed earlier?"

"Your Majesty is trying to cover up your gaffe, and if the foreign minister asks again, won't it expose Your Majesty's shortcomings?"

"Interesting, interesting, you Yan envoy, it's really interesting, there are countless foreign envoys who come to Beijing every year, and I have seen a lot, so interesting, you are still the first."

"Actually, the foreign minister didn't plan to come, but there was no way, no one thought that he would hit Shangjing like this, and it was too late for the genuine messenger to set off from Shangjing, so he could only let the foreign minister, Qiu Ba, rush the duck to come in and say hello to Your Majesty."

"That's really fate."

"Yes, fate."

"Your surname is Zheng, right?"

"Yes."

"In Yan Kingdom, what kind of officials are you doing?"

"Silverwave County Cuiliu Fort garrison."

"Tsk, I've heard of you, the last time you fought Mianzhou City, wasn't it you, a little guy? And that sentence to visit here, which was also written by you. ”

"Let Your Majesty smile, the foreign minister just wanted to come over and have a look, who knew that the dry people were so enthusiastic and gracious, so they went in and sat down."

"King Fu's head, you cut it off, right?"

"Yes."

"I'm curious, a head of the Blessed King, can't you be promoted?

How come it is that until now, it is still just a garrison? ”

"King Fu's head is not very valuable." As he spoke, Zheng Fan set his eyes on Emperor Qian's head.

Xu had just come out of the pool, and the head of the Emperor was still steaming.

Seeing this, Emperor Qianhuang stretched out his finger and pointed to his head, and said:

"Want?"

Zheng Fan swallowed his saliva and nodded honestly.

"I'm very curious, if you take this head of mine, what kind of military merit can you exchange it for in Qianguo?"

Zheng Fan replied without hesitation:

"Feudal Marquis."

"Huh! This is really valuable, I know it, your Marquis of Yan Kingdom is a top lord with a different surname, right? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I'm sitting here, why don't you come and get it?"

Zheng Fan shook his head and said, "Because the foreign minister doesn't know if His Majesty can do martial arts." ”

"I don't practice martial arts."

"The wind of refining qi in the country is prevalent."

"I actually don't believe in these vain astrological feng shui theories."

"That ........."

"Don't do this and that, I'm telling you that I'm a piece of waste."

Zheng Fan looked around,

"Don't look at it, there is no one else hiding nearby except the woman you saw when you first came in, I deliberately set aside those ministers and deliberately saw you alone.

That woman is only a nine-rank martial artist, and the reason why she is by my side is because I think she is good-looking. ”

"This ........."

"What, why don't you do it?"

"Kill you, Your Majesty, I can't get out of this city."

"Hehehe, hahahahaha............"

The Emperor laughed again, he couldn't help but pat the armrest of the chair under him, and said:

"You, you're afraid of death?"

"Of course I'm afraid of death."

"I thought that you Yan people were not afraid of death at all, are you Yan people or not?"

"yes."

"Then you're not going to kill me?"

"Your Majesty invited the foreign minister to dinner, how could the foreign minister do such a thing?"

You say there is no master if there is no master? You say you're a waste or a waste? You said that the woman outside was just a nine-rank concubine, and she was a nine-grade concubine?

"Alright, let's get down to business."

"Right here?"

"Yes, right here."

Zheng Fan stretched out his hand and took out the paperwork from his arms, which had been checked by the woman when he was inspecting it before.

The Emperor stretched out his hand and took the paperwork, not in a hurry to open it and look at it.

Instead, he put it on his face and sniffed it gently,

Road:

"You can't decorate it a little, it's not a national letter or Ji Runhao himself, forget it, this ink hasn't dried yet."

Zheng Fan's old face flushed.

"Huh."

The Emperor didn't open the paperwork, threw it aside, and asked instead:

"What kind of woman does Zheng Aiqing like?"

"Huh?"

"I'll ask you something, tell me."

"Your Majesty, aren't you talking about business?"

"In my opinion, this is also the right thing to do."

"Your Majesty, the foreign minister is shy."

"Man, let's talk casually, Huan Fat Yan is thin, showing off his wisdom, what does Zheng Aiqing like?"

"It's basically not annoying to look good."

"Vulgar!"

"Yes, the minister is vulgar."

"Cheap."

"Yes, the foreign minister is cheap."

"It's also sincere, in fact, it's just such a truth, people's desires are endless, just like your Yan Kingdom."

"Your Majesty, aren't you talking about business?"

Isn't it about women?

I'm still waiting for you to continue the conversation with me and then say you're sending me......

"Isn't it a major national event?"

"It's business."

"Isn't that right, to be honest, if your Yan Kingdom is like the beginning, you just want some benefits, add some more silver, I will give it, anyway, I am rich and vast.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, you Yan people went south this time, grabbed a handful and went back, I can also understand, I know that your Yan country is poor, and because of the so-called Silk Road these years, life is slightly better, but that's it.

Poor neighbors come to your house to fight the autumn breeze, borrow some rice noodles and go back to the pot, since they are neighbors, since they still want to continue to get along well in the future, how can there be no reason not to borrow?

But this time, the poor neighbor didn't pay attention to it, and actually wanted to occupy most of the house, tsk........."

Zheng Fan said:

"Because this neighbor is too cowardly."

"........." Qianhuang.

"Your Majesty, the foreign minister has told the truth."

Emperor Qianhuang nodded and said:

"To tell the truth, it's the most hurtful, I'm a big worker, now it's really riddled with diseases, every year the treasury has to allocate funds to support nearly a million non-existent troops, this alone has swallowed how many people's fat and people's cream!"

One million more ancestral army, or one million more western army, even if the Great Yan Iron Cavalry is armored in the world, how dare they go south?

"It's a pity, I don't have a Li Liangting by my side, and there is no Tian Wujing."

"Your Majesty, did the chicken come first or the egg came first?"

First of all, with the eloquent Yan Emperor, these two Hou Ye can appear, and these two Hou Ye will stand by the Yan Huang willingly.

"Yes, yes, I can't compare to him Ji Runhao, to be honest, Ji Runhao will be the emperor more than me, and I am more often thinking about how to enjoy it.

For example, the silver-armored guard outside, you know, she has a husband. ”

"............" Zheng Fan.

"Tut-tut." The Emperor fell into self-absorption.

"Your Majesty, I'm so interested."

"The joy of this is not enough for outsiders."

"Yes, yes."

This Qianhuang, as if he was a little chattering, his thinking activity was different from ordinary people, and he had just finished talking about his wife, and he immediately pointed to the document that he had left next to him before:

"Do you know why I didn't read this document?"

"Your Majesty, you just said it, but you don't think it's sincere."

"Yes, it's really insincere, because what is written in it is nothing more than a land reparation and then sending a prince to be a proton or something, it must be a condition that I can't accept.

Right? ”

Zheng Fan was stunned for a moment.

Emperor Qianhuang smiled,

"People in the market, when talking about trading, you have to pay attention to sincerity, you buy sincerely, I sell sincerely, so that there is a need to do business, otherwise isn't it just a blind delay?"

Zheng Fan frowned slightly.

"Alas, your Yan Kingdom is having a hard time now, the two major clans of the Jin Kingdom are already sharpening their knives, and they are about to send troops, and the Desert Royal Court will not let go of this once-in-a-century opportunity."

"Your Majesty, my Dayan has the confidence to deal with it."

"Confidence? Yes, I know. ”

Emperor Qianhuang suddenly sat forward and straightened up, looked at Zheng Fan, and said slowly:

"Do you know how I reacted when I learned that more than 200,000 iron horsemen from your Yan Kingdom were heading south?"

Zheng Fan shook his head and said, "The foreign minister doesn't know. ”

"I was scared, I was really scared. Then, I immediately issued two edicts, one of which was to order the world's soldiers and horses to enter the king of Jingqin.

The other way, do you know what it is? ”

Zheng Fan took a deep breath.

Emperor Qianhuang smiled slightly,

Continued:

"The second purpose is,

Strictly order that not a single soldier or soldier on the three sides should go south to help! ”
