Chapter 3: The Messenger
Daning is not an ambitious country, it just wants to guard its own one-third of an acre. When Wei's peace request was sent, the emperor agreed to it after consultation with his ministers. It's just that they lost a prince of great fame, but with that...... There is no way they can let the people of Wei leave comfortably! The next step is to arrange for the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the reception.
And two months after the first seven months of the Four Princes, the envoy group sent by the Wei State finally entered the territory of Daning and was about to enter the capital.
There seems to be no wave in the Beijing aristocratic circle about the death of the fourth prince, and the people mentioned may sigh when they think of the young man who rushed to the battlefield with a spear, and the rest of the people eat, drink and have fun.
But most of the people who remember are the people who were protected by the four princes.
They knew in their hearts that if it weren't for the four princes and that group of good sons fighting bloody battles on the border of Daning, I am afraid that they would be living a life of exile. However, in the first battle of Wei Ning, they not only lost a prince who served the people, but even lost so many good sons. The anger in my heart suddenly erupted at the moment when the Wei delegation entered Beijing.
The rotten leaves and rotten eggs that had been prepared in advance were thrown into the mission.
The envoys of Wei were embarrassed and wanted the Daning guards to stop them, but the Daning guards looked at them so coldly with their arms crossed, and no one stepped forward to stop them, and the officials who came to greet them also acquiesced in this behavior, allowing these people to throw these things on them.
In Daning's view, these are all they deserve.
Who doesn't have one or two good sons who are soldiers? Over the years, the Wei State has repeatedly violated their Daning border and harassed them for seven or eight years. There are not a few sons who died in battle. It's all because of these greedy Wei people, if it weren't for that, how could they have lost their own good sons. Thinking of this, they became even angrier.
The crowd blocked the way of the Wei mission, and they could not, so they had to stand where they were, and in the case of the inaction of the Daning officials, they could only hope that these people would quickly throw away the inventory in their hands.
Some of them were throwing stones into it, and some of the members of the mission were already crouching down and holding their heads because of the pain. Even many people wanted to rush into the crowd and beat up all these wolf ambitions, but they were tightly blocked by Daning's guards.
The people in the Wei delegation don't know how many times they scolded Daning's people in their hearts. But they didn't dare to make a sound, what kind of place is this? The capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven! Once they scold, none of them will be able to return to Great Wei. So they can only stand here in embarrassment, allowing the people to vent their anger.
All this is because they are Wei State, which is the side that seeks peace.
It is the most ridiculous to not measure yourself.
Someone in the mission stood upright. Even though his body was covered with egg whites and vegetable leaves, he still stood still, and he had no intention of dodging. His eyes are waveless, and his face is calm. Seems...... He's watching other people's embarrassment.
"Princess, which one do you not like?" Lu Su opened the window, shook the slingshot in his hand, and laughed out loud at the embarrassed appearance of the Wei delegation downstairs.
"What are you going to do if I don't like it?" Shaoguang put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at the scene below with interest. She is proud of her brother and the people who guarded Daning, and you see, these people remember you.
"Of course...... Hee-hee. Lu Su looked a little embarrassed, "You know, princess." ”
"Who's that?" It wasn't that Shaoguang noticed the man, but that the man was too different, and this person was the only official in the Wei delegation with a straight back. There was a hint of interest on Shake Light's face, "Looks like an interesting character." ”
"Back to the princess, he is the third prince of Dawei." Xuan Ling introduced Shaoguang on the side. Before Great Wei entered Beijing, he had already sent someone to find out the identities of all the people in the envoy group this time. So at this moment, it is not surprising to know that person is the third prince of Great Wei.
The Third Prince's Mo Liyan? Shake your eyebrows slightly. "You say, are you going to shoot the first bird?"
"Come, give it to me." Lu Su obediently handed the slingshot in his hand to Shake Light.
Mo Liyan only felt that there was wind coming from his ears, with a little killing intent. His heart sank, and he bowed his head to avoid the stone that was coming towards his vital point. Who was going to harm him? It is impossible for the people of Ning Guozhong, although they are a defeated country, but if he dies here, his father, emperor and brother will definitely not give up, this must be very clear to the people of Ning Guo, who is it?
In just a moment, his mind was spinning, and countless guesses flickered through his mind. Just after avoiding the stone, the killing intent came from his ears again, only this time he didn't have time to avoid it.
He didn't care about the pain above his head, he looked up and followed the direction where the stone was flying, only to see the inky fabric flashing by the window on the second floor and the smile of a girl in green who greeted her, holding a slingshot in her hand. Obviously, the person who had just beaten him must have been the owner of the inky cloth.
Only, who is that person?
The sloppy appearance of the envoys of the Wei State was not easy to enter the palace to pay homage to Emperor Ning, and they couldn't, so the officials in charge had to take them to the place where they lived, so that they could pick up themselves. Today's encounter is really unprecedented and unprecedented, and it is extremely humiliating.
"Three princes, this ......" After the people waiting went down, the people in the mission surrounded the three princes, Mo Liyan. The face is full of indignation, it is already a shame for them to come here to sue for peace as a defeated country, who knows that they are ...... How dare they treat them like this? How dare they? Aren't they afraid that their Great Wei will start fighting once?
Mo Liyan's face remained unchanged, and he didn't hear the stench in his nose, "Why care about these little things? Everyone clean up and ...... at night There is also a banquet prepared for us by Emperor Ning. ”
Mo Liyan has already said so, even if they are unwilling in their hearts at this moment, they can only drag the vegetable leaves and rotten eggs to clean up, and suppress all the injustices.
What's more, he will repay today's shame one day! Emperor Ning, don't go too far!
"Princess," Lu Su looked at Shaoguang who was resting on the chair with a sad face, "aren't you going to go to tonight's banquet?" Time is running out. "Their princess is good at everything, it's just ...... Lazy.
"Then I won't go."
"But tonight is a dust-washing banquet for the envoys of Wei, princess, are we really not going?" Midori asked, poking her head into Shake Light's ear.
Shaking his eyes and slowly sitting up from the recliner, a trace of clarity quickly crossed in the hazy sleepiness, but it was only for a moment, and he returned to his sleepy appearance, yawning and said, "Go, why don't you go?" If you don't go, the emperor will be angry, right? ”
A carriage on the official road moved slowly, even slower than the speed of the pedestrians around it, this simple-looking carriage no one could have imagined that this was the carriage of the ninth princess who had returned to Beijing a month ago, and no one could have imagined that this slow-moving carriage was going to the palace.
In this regard, Lu Su can only say...... It doesn't matter how slow it is, as long as her princess is comfortable. As for the reason why the line is so slow...... Of course, it's because her princess feels a little uncomfortable that she is going fast.
"Can the horse farm in front of you go faster?"
"I'm sorry, my master is a little motion sick."
Behind him, he couldn't bear the carriage going too slowly and there was a sound of urging, and Xuan Ling, who was driving, heard this, moved the carriage to the side of the road, stopped, and waited for the carriage behind him to pass.
"Walking so slowly and being embarrassed to go on the road? Delay my nobles to enter the palace, but you can bear it! The coachman behind him was still scolding and scolding when he passed by, looking angry. Xuan Ling also had anger in his heart, but he endured it and did not move. This is the capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, not Jingshan, so he can't do anything recklessly. He had to control himself and not drag the princess down.
It's just that the next moment, the string called reason in his brain 'snapped'.
As the coachman passed by, he gave them a whip on the horse that was pulling the cart, and the horse was suddenly impulsive. The princess is still in the car! A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Xuan Ling's body, he got up and quickly controlled the horse, turned over and jumped on the carriage, pulled the coachman down and threw him to the ground, all this happened in an instant.
"You...... What are you doing? The coachman looked at Xuan Ling with some horror, he didn't even know why he had fallen to the ground.
"Apologies!" Xuan Ling sat back in the coachman's position and looked coldly at the person who was dragged to the ground by himself.
"Apologize?" The coachman thought of the noble man sitting in the carriage, "Why do you want me to apologize?" Don't you know who the noble man in our carriage is? ”
"Why did the carriage stop?" The voice of a middle-aged man came from the carriage.
"Let's go, let's go." The coachman got up from the ground, dusted off his clothes, and took a sip under the rocking carriage. His face was full of pride, and he looked like a villain.
Xuan Ling shook his whip and pulled down the coachman who had just climbed into the carriage. This time, without the slightest restraint, the coachman fell to the ground and groaned lowly.
"Apologies!"
"This brother, this is a person from our Shangshu Mansion, if there is any difficulty for the brother another day, just come to our Shangshu Mansion." The middle-aged man's voice just now rang out again, "What are you still doing lying on the ground?" Can you afford to delay the banquet? ”
This was not for the coachman, but for Xuan Ling.
"Each of the six books has a book. I don't know which Lord Shangshu this Shangshu is? As soon as a cold voice came out, it was none other than Shaoguang who spoke. It was her problem that the carriage was moving slowly and blocking the way of others. But Xuan Ling has already been humble about this, and she is still so scolding and scolding who doesn't know how to restrain herself, and even threatens her?
"This official serves in the household department, I don't know who your Excellency is?"
"Me? I'm nothing, I'm just curious, at the feet of this Son of Heaven, which family would raise such a slave. ”
"Diao slave? Girl, don't mess with words. What are you still doing there? Why don't you hurry up and get in the carriage? The hand-shaking official can't catch up with the banquet, will you take care of it? ”
"Xuan Ling!"
Xuan Ling, who was a coachman, flew up and fell down the coachman who had climbed onto the wheel of the carriage again. This time, Xuan Ling used heavier force than the previous two times. The coachman didn't get up this time.
"If you don't apologize, you want to leave?"
"This girl, don't toast or eat!" The middle-aged man's voice came out again, threatening in his tone.
"Green Su, give you a chance to move your wrists." Shaoguang leaned obliquely in the carriage and took a cup of tea, casually, "I suddenly remembered that the peony flowers in the imperial garden have bloomed, and I want to break a branch and come back to insert a bottle." ”
Lu Su was already eager to try, and with the words of shaking light, the whole person's eyes lit up, and he was even more excited. She hadn't touched anyone since she came to the capital, and now her hands were itchy.
"Do you dare to hit this official? This official is a scholar! ”
"This girl, stop fighting, don't fight!"
The sound of begging for mercy came from outside the carriage, and he shook his face as if he had not heard anything.
After a while, Lu Su got into the carriage, her eyes shining, "Princess, you see that I did a good job." ”
"Pretty."
