Chapter 167: Who Goes to the Wedding Banquet
Zhu Hongze's side is just the opposite of Zhu Hongchen, after he and Qi Lao returned to the house, they were dragged to the study.
Zhu Hongze anxiously followed Qi Lao, and had a lot to ask him.
After arriving at the study, the door was closed, and Zhu Hongze immediately asked: "Master, what the hell is going on, why was your father announced the identity of the national teacher early in the morning?" Moreover, the early dynasty still came with his father. ”
Qi Lao couldn't help but shake his head, "I can't talk to you about this matter yet, when the time comes, you will naturally understand, you just need to remember now that the master will never harm you." ”
Zhu Hongze looked at Qi Lao with some incomprehension, as if he didn't quite understand what he needed to hide from his apprentice, saying that it was for his good, but he refused to tell him, which really made him feel depressed in his heart.
Qi Lao looked at Zhu Hongze and knew his thoughts, but he really couldn't tell him a lot of things now, "Last night, I went into the palace to see the emperor for the teacher, and chatted with the emperor all night, and that's it in the morning." ”
Zhu Hongze was even more puzzled: "Yesterday, when the night was so late, would my father still receive the master?" ”
Qi Lao coughed, and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, this matter is for the teacher to sneak into the palace to see your father, and then he was almost caught, but fortunately, your father appeared in time, so it can be regarded as a danger." ”
Zhu Hongze looked at Qi Lao a little speechlessly, what the master said was really simple, trespassing on the palace at night, a bad one was going to lose his life: "This kind of thing is too dangerous, master should not be reckless in the future." ”
Qi Lao found out that he had been taught a lesson by his own apprentice, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, but he was embarrassed to say anything, after all, it was indeed his fault last night, and he didn't think it through. but
Although Qi Lao thought so in his heart, he snorted on his face, with a clear look in his heart, "The teacher naturally knows, it's just that there was something important last night." ”
Seeing what Zhu Hongze wanted to ask, Qi Lao immediately said: "You must still want to know what the teacher talked about with your father overnight?" However, I can't tell you about this matter for the time being, but the master is definitely on your side. ”
Zhu Hongze heard Qi Lao say this, and many things were almost figured out, and he hurriedly shook his head: "It's okay, the master doesn't say it, naturally there is a master's reason, since he can talk to his father for so long, there must be no harm." "For Qi Lao, Chu Hongze is 100% trusted, and the master will never harm him.
Qi Lao nodded, a little relieved that his apprentice was so sensible and trusted him: "Okay, I explained to you, don't ask more about this matter, that's it, let's talk about it later!" ”
Zhu Hongze could only nod, still a little lost, Qi Lao guessed what he was thinking, so he continued, "Okay, Wen Ruyi's side of the matter, the teacher will naturally find a way, you don't have to think so much, and the teacher, it will naturally be handled for you, don't worry, let's deal with this side first!" ”
Zhu Hongze knew that what Qi Lao said made sense, so he nodded: "Okay, the apprentice knows, looking at Zhu Hongchen this morning, he was very angry when he saw that the master and I were getting closer, and I was afraid of him...... And what actions are there to take, what bad things to do, then ......"
"That's what ...... The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover, we just need to guard against it, now we should not meet him head-on, he wants to do things must first weigh the current situation, and if you want to do it, you have to consider the situation. ”
Zhu Hongze nodded, said to Qi Lao and left the study, since Qi Lao had clearly told him, he naturally believed in the master, so he was not worried that the master would not be able to deal with it.
After Zhu Hongze left, Qi Lao thought a little distractedly: "If he says like this, will it be a little unfavorable to Chu Hongze, I feel that it is a little inappropriate to do these things for him, and the current situation is becoming more and more complicated, I don't know what will happen in the future." ”
Qi Lao thought for a while, sighed a little helplessly, and then stopped worrying about this problem, and the situation in front of him could only be said later.
Although Zhu Hongze has been assured by his master and believes in his master, he is still worried in his heart, worried about how Ruyi is doing there, and worried about whether she has been threatened? As long as it was all the bad endings he could think of, Nagisa Hongze thought about it over and over again in his mind.
Although nothing seems to have happened on the surface in the past few days, Zhu Hongze has been worrying about Wen Ruyi every day and night, and he is also thinking a lot in his heart, but there is no good way to do it at present, and he is losing weight day by day.
The wedding of Mu Zirong and Wen Ruyan is gradually approaching, and the envoys of various countries have received the news, and they have also brought congratulatory gifts and are ready to congratulate them.
The emperor naturally knows about this, but there is inevitably some estrangement in his heart, and this Wen Ruyi is the princess of Rui Wang who is married to the Ming Media of Longteng Kingdom, and Chu Hongze has not divorced his wife, what is this? But the prince of this enemy country got married, and this Longteng country wanted to reconcile with the enemy country, so if you don't go to congratulate the gift, and you are afraid of causing any unpleasantness, you can go to congratulate the gift......
Alas, thinking about Chu Hongze, the emperor's heart is like a membrane, and he is thinking about how to deal with it.
"Say, 'Who should you send to the wedding banquet of the prince of the enemy country? Alas, it's not good to send anyone, this ......" The emperor asked the little eunuch beside him with a frown as he paced.
The little eunuch was suddenly asked, knelt down in horror, thought for a while, and then said tremblingly: "Go back...... Your Majesty, as long as it is not King Rui...... Others...... It should be all ......."
The emperor flicked his sleeves, his face was heavy, and his tone gradually became more and more irritable, and he shouted: "Isn't this nonsense? You really don't know, it's just that the government and the opposition have recently subverted...... There are very few people who are useful...... Alas......"
Although the little eunuch has been waiting, he has never spoken to the emperor, but now he saw the emperor's heavy face, and he also wanted to share the emperor's worries in his heart, so he gradually let go of his fear, slowly raised his head and said slowly: "Your Majesty, you ...... What do you think, how is your new national teacher? The identity of the national teacher is second only to His Majesty, and going to the enemy country to give congratulatory gifts will not make people feel that our Longteng country despises the enemy country. ”
When the emperor heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he said in surprise: "Yes! Right! There is also Qi Lao, Qi Lao is well-informed, and he is the national teacher of Longteng Country, and he is Ze'er's master, Ze'er has always respected him, and he is indeed the best candidate this time! ”
Thinking of the relationship between Qi Lao and Chu Hongze, the last trace of concern in the emperor's heart was also eliminated, if Qi Lao was sent over, as for how to deal with this matter, Chu Hongze would not be able to attack at that time, and Qi Lao was a person who knew the general situation, completely different from Chu Hongze, and he was also concerned about this matter, and there was indeed no more suitable candidate at the moment.
Now that it has been decided, the emperor directly slapped the chair, "Pass the decree and order the national teacher to bring the congratulatory gifts of this dynasty to celebrate the wedding of the prince of the enemy country!" ”
The Emperor was extremely satisfied with this decision, and his mood became happy, and the things that had troubled him for so many days were finally solved, and he couldn't help but feel much more relaxed.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The little eunuch immediately stood up and prepared to go to the decree.
Inside the palace
"Tell the prince, today the emperor has ordered the national teacher to go to congratulate the enemy prince Mu Zirong on his wedding." Chengfeng lowered his head and told Chu Hongze the latest news.
Chu Hongze couldn't help frowning slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied, and the whole person became extremely tense, "I knew that my father would not send me, I knew ......"
His eyes were slightly closed, and his mind recalled Wen Ruyi's words and deeds, every move, and that smile all involved his heart, but as long as he thought that she was about to marry Mu Zirong as his own princess, his heart was as uncomfortable as if there were thousands of needles pierced.
Chu Hongze silently clenched his fists, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn, "Damn! ”
"Ride the wind, prepare the horse, let's go visit the master immediately!" Chu Hongze's eyes were firm, there were many things on his mind, he couldn't suppress his emotions, he had to ask Qi Lao now and get an answer, otherwise he wasn't sure what he would do.
"But...... Lord, this ...... This holy decree has been issued, you still have to continue to ......" Chengfeng naturally understood Chu Hongze's thoughts, although he had changed his opinion of Wen Ruyi before, but now it is inevitable to doubt it again, after all, Chu Hongze is his real master, and all those who betray and hurt his master are not worthy of his trust.
Before Chengfeng's words were finished, Chu Hongze interrupted him, "Okay, don't say it, Chengfeng, no matter what, I must go this time, and I must ensure her return safely, I can't watch her marry someone else like this." ”
Seeing that he was so firm, he couldn't say what he wanted to persuade, so he had to lower his head and go down to arrange relevant matters, Chu Hongze is the master, he is a slave, and he has no qualifications to interfere in what the master wants to do, just follow it well!
When the wind is far away, Chu Hongze stands alone in the palatial hall, with his back to the door, no one can see his expression, and there is a trace of crack in his cold facial features because of the person he misses in his heart, and the usual scene between them emerges, and his heart throbs, and he doesn't know why he is inexplicably irritable, he only knows that he doesn't allow it! Wen Ruyu is definitely not allowed to marry Mu Zirong, no matter what......
"No! Absolutely not! I'll just go for this, you can't go! Don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter personally, haven't I already told you, you ......" Qi Lao looked at the stubborn apprentice in front of him, his eyes showed a trace of distress, more of a helplessness.
Alas, it doesn't matter to him, but this apprentice must not have any mistakes, otherwise why would he do so many things!
