Chapter 248: Please find someone
At the moment when Mei Zhixuan's handwritten letter was presented, none of the civil and military officials in the main hall held their breath, as if the air around everyone was still with the letter for a while.
No one knows whether the contents of this letter will elevate the delicate atmosphere in the hall today, or whether it will detonate in an instant.
Everyone's hearts were up and down, and they could only pray sincerely and silently that the arrival of Xuanyuan Han, the king of Qin, would completely save them and put an end to their misfortune of not knowing who would be next.
In the face of Emperor Jing, who has become more and more brutal in recent years, he refused to admonish and disguise wrongdoing, abused heavy punishments, exceeded miscellaneous taxes, and disregarded the lives of the Li people, only alchemizing himself in order to live forever.
In such a situation, the people are full of grievances, everyone is cautious, timid, flattering, trembling, who dares to really make a difference.
The atmosphere in the hall had risen to the most gripping moment, and everyone was waiting for the moment when they were sentenced.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Emperor Jing finished reading the letter in his hand, he slapped his right hand on the armrest of the golden dragon chair with a straight face and a majestic face, and then looked angrily at the people below.
Finally, Xuanyuan Han, who locked his eyes in front of the hall and stepped forward, and had not raised his eyes for half a minute until now, shouted: "Bold King Qin! ”
Seeing that Emperor Jing was already angry again, except for King Xuanyuan Han of Qin, who was still as calm as thunder, all the civil and military officials in the palace all hulala all knelt on the ground together, and prayed loudly to him while kowtowing, "The emperor is angry, the emperor is gracious, the emperor is angry, the emperor is gracious, the emperor is gracious......"
However, to everyone's surprise, next, the majestic face that stood tall above suddenly let out a rather comfortable and hearty laugh, "Hahahahaha... Hahaha......"
Hearing this, all the people who fell to the ground stopped their voices, and timidly raised their heads for some reason and peeked at the highest position.
At this time, Emperor Jing turned to Xuanyuan Han in front of the palace with a happy face and said, "Bold King Qin, you have received such great good news, why don't you come to report it earlier, and be even!" ”
"Your Majesty." At this point, Xuanyuan Han was finally able to stand up straight.
But the officials who looked at the two royal brothers in the hall who suddenly became cordial in a daze, but they didn't know what had happened, but they still didn't dare to gasp loudly.
Then, Emperor Jing said to the dazed-looking officials kneeling down with a happy face: "All the Qing families should also get up." ”
"Thank you, Lord Long." So, in a daze, everyone also shouted in unison to thank him, and got up to stand up again.
Emperor Jing held the letter in his hand half, and instantly proudly announced with a pleasant face: "What I have in my hand is a handwritten letter from Mei Zhixuan, the third prince of Dongning, who claims that he will travel day and night within a month, and personally bring ten miles of red makeup to marry my princess of Xiqin." With the Dongning Kingdom on the rich side and the noble Qin King and Princess of Western Qin, these two marriages of the century are close to each other. I believe that in the future, the countries of the spiritual sky will definitely meet
I am even more afraid of the strength of my Xiqin. The King of Qin is worthy of being the pillar of my Western Qin State and the example of a hundred officials. ”
"Congratulations to the Emperor, long live, long live, long live, His Royal Highness King Qin, thousand years old, thousands of years old." Hearing this, the hundred officials in the hall finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and respectfully congratulated the two of them in unison.
"It's just that Dongning and my Western Qin are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, I don't know how this letter ended up in the hands of King Qin again?" Emperor Jing finally couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Han's eyes were stunned, and after a moment's thought, he replied, "Back to the emperor, this is the reason why the minister missed the time of the dynasty this morning." Mei Zhixuan, the third prince of Dongning Kingdom, suddenly appeared in the middle of the minister's entry into the palace today, stopped the minister's carriage, and pestered him to see the minister, but the minister did not agree to see him. He forced the letter to the minister's guards, so he delayed the time of the court. ”
"Mei Zhixuan, how could he be in my Western Qin Kingdom?" Emperor Jing asked again with a puzzled expression.
Xuanyuan Han thought for a moment and said, "Actually, Mei Zhixuan had a relationship with the princess in the minister's mansion when he was married to the minister. According to Mei Zhixuan, he said to his ministers outside the carriage at that time, he had already begun to admire the princess of our country at that time, so he stayed in the Western Qin Kingdom for the time being and did not leave, so he did not know that my country's envoy went to Dongning to ask for peace. Recently, he had just received a letter from Dongning and learned about it. I was afraid that the emperor would misunderstand, thinking that Dongning Guo deliberately refused to make peace with our country, and I was also afraid that I would miss my intended person, so I couldn't wait to come forward to ask the ministers to help clarify the facts. And he is willing to return to China immediately to prepare for the wedding ceremony-related matters, and come to marry my princess in person. ”
Emperor Jing was overjoyed when he heard this, and exclaimed again and again, "Oh? In this way, the princess and the three princes have long been a godsend. Good, good, good, great! In this matter, King Qin has merit. I am determined to have a heavy reward, and what reward does the King of Qin want, although he says it. ”
The officials on the side were also full of joy and whispered to each other.
However, Xuanyuan Han said with a serious face: "Now, Dongning Kingdom is marrying the princess of our country, and the princess's wedding is coming. Since all this is just an oolong, the minister begs the emperor to forgive the envoy's sins, and since he has already had experience in negotiating with Dongning, he may as well make up for his mistakes and take full responsibility for all matters of the princess and his relatives. ”
"Since the misunderstanding has been clarified, the crimes of the envoys can be completely exempted, according to what the King of Qin said: pardon all the previous crimes of the envoys, reinstate the officials, and order them to be fully responsible for the affairs of the princess and relatives, and there must be no mistakes." Emperor Jing issued an order to forgive sins in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.
"The minister still has a reluctant request, I hope the emperor will approve it." I didn't want Xuanyuan Han to think about it again, so he opened his mouth and asked again.
