Chapter 500: Yanyu (1)
Is it really possible......
Hagi Niang was also anxious in her heart, but she still persuaded: "It's useless for us to be anxious now, I just hope that King Ji can distinguish between right and wrong and see the current situation clearly, if he is still messing around, no matter how much we persuade him, it is useless." ”
The slave looked at her with great regret and said with self-reproach: "If only at that time, we insisted on not entering the palace, but now I am unarmed, and I am like a bird in a cage, completely at the mercy of others." ”
Hagi Niang shook her head and said: "No, I think our choice to enter the palace is right, King Jian is not a stupid person without reason, I believe he will definitely let us go, and he may even send us back, because it just so happens that the envoy from Zhongzhou is here, even if he sends troops to escort him, it will not arouse Huan Xuan's suspicions, if we can return to Jiankang alive, it will be of the greatest benefit to him, and he will definitely be able to figure this out." ”
Jinu couldn't help complaining to her: "King Ji is really a villain, it's really puzzling that you still speak for him." ”
It was the first time that Hagi Niang heard Jinu say bad things about others with such resentment, and couldn't help laughing: "Yes, he is a real villain, but he is better than a hypocrite like Huan Xuan." ”
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the hall, Hagi Niang hurriedly got up and walked out, only to see a group of chamberlains standing outside the hall, and the person at the head was the most trusted confidant of the king he saw that day.
Jinu stood sideways, feeling a little embarrassed, but the person who came said to Hagi Niang with a smile: "Zang, His Royal Highness is waiting for you in the main hall, please go over immediately." ”
Hagi nodded and ordered someone to bring a coat to put on for herself.
What did Hagi Mume do when she went to the main hall? Isn't the main hall a place of deliberation?
Although the slave was suspicious in his heart, it was not easy to stop it, he thought of the envoy who came to Nanzhong last night, could it be that there was really something serious to discuss?
As if seeing his thoughts, the internal official turned to the slave and said respectfully, "Liu Lang, Your Highness has also ordered you to go with you." ”
Jinu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled sincerely: "Yes." ”
It wasn't a good day, and even though the stove was burning in the house, the cold wind was still blowing in through the window.
Hagi Niang looked up at the gloomy sky like a gray paper, and a sense of uneasiness suddenly surged in her heart, but at this time, the slave was already by her side, and she went to the main hall to see the king, and it should be fine, she exhaled deeply, and finally dissipated the feeling of irritability in her chest a little.
Along the way, you can faintly hear the sound of the Yunnan water beating the jade steps in the distance, perhaps because of the warm climate in the south of the country, although the Kunchuan is already a cold winter years, the rushing and turbulent Yunnan water will never freeze, so the sound of the water in the palace is all the time, the white crystal jade general stone along the pond, although it is extremely solid, but it can not withstand the erosion of the water waves for a long time, the edges and corners at the edge have been polished smooth and round, but there is also a kind of elegant beauty.
However, this palatial beauty is only temporary.
Not to mention the present world thousands of years later, even after the Tang and Song dynasties, no one will talk about the glory of the Nanzhong clan anymore, all the contentions, all the obsessions, are just the past.
This feeling of knowing everything but not being able to change a single bit is really very powerless, and a short life is just a hundred-year dream, compared with the torrent of the entire history, it is like a drop in the ocean, so small that it is not worth mentioning.
This is the second time that Hagi Niang and the slave have come to this solemn main hall, the previous time, of course, they admired the royal prestige, and they couldn't help but tremble, but this time they didn't have the slightest sense of awe, just waiting outside the palace according to the courtesy.
Unexpectedly, there were no other ministers in the palace, not even Prime Minister Meng Guo, the king sat on the throne alone, and had already changed into his regular clothes, instead of seeing the court clothes of the foreign ministers, he seemed to be in a good mood, and smiled at the two from afar.
Seeing that the two of them were coming, the official motioned for them to move forward, and whispered cordially: "Your Highness said that there is something to ask about the two of you, so he ordered you to go to the palace. ”
He reversed the seriousness of the previous day, with a smile on his face, wishing that he could make a good relationship with the two of them.
Hagi Niang and Jinu both smiled helplessly, unable to figure out what tricks this king was playing.
After the two bowed to the king according to the courtesy, they sat down on the futon on the left side of the throne, and Hagi Niang, in line with the principle of losing the battle, took the lead in raising her voice and asked: "Your Highness, you summoned our husband and wife here, but did you have any will?" ”
There was silence in the hall, but when she said this, the bead curtain behind the throne of the king suddenly made a crisp and pleasant collision sound, although it was not harsh, but it was very abrupt.
Hagi Niang and Jinu couldn't help but look at the bead curtain, but saw that the henchman of the king who had just led them in was standing on the side of the bead curtain. ”
The king was very happy, couldn't help the smile on his face, waved his hand generously, and said, "That's it, just be careful." ”
He turned his head to Hagi Niang and Jinu and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that after discussing with my uncle yesterday, I finally decided to adapt to the current situation and form an alliance with the imperial court." After all, the collapse of the Ruohuan clan is not only the joy of His Majesty in the Jiankang Palace, but also a good thing for the tribes in my southern and central lands......
Hagi Niang couldn't help but look up suspiciously, and asked thoughtfully, "Your Highness, it's really good that you can think like this...... Then, if you forgive the slaves, I would like to ask, how do you intend to show your sincerity in the alliance with our DPRK? ”
Anyone will say empty words, but if you want to empty the gloves of the white wolf, it is too cunning.
The envoy of the Jin court who came last night may have given the king some promises, but he didn't say a word about it, which was really very dishonest.
King Ji smiled and said: "As I said before, if you can convince Your Majesty to allow me to honor my Fu clan for a hundred years in Nanzhong and not interfere in the internal affairs and military affairs of my Fu clan, then our Fu clan will pay tribute to the Jin court every year, including Yunnan horses, armor, and silver, etc., which will definitely satisfy Your Majesty, and the specific number of ministers of the Jin court will be discussed." ”
Kindness...... In other words, it's just that the original tribute to Huan Xuan was turned to the emperor, and maybe both sides gave gifts to maintain neutrality, and the two sides should not be offended, just look at the battle in the world, who can win......
Sure enough, it was the little fox and the old fox, and the idea that these two people discussed was naturally very safe......
Hagi Niang pursed her lips disdainfully, and couldn't think of anything to refute for a while.
