Chapter 33 Qin envoy to Yan
At this time, outside King Wu's mansion, a person holding an envelope in his hand and dressed in an official uniform had been wandering around the gate for half an hour.
Just at a glance, this person is wearing a little different from Dayan's costume, which looks particularly conspicuous.
At this time, Murong Bao was just about to go out of the house to have fun, and he happened to bump into that person.
"Childe, are you alright?"
The man hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Murong Bao, and at the moment when he raised his hand to touch Murong Bao's clothes, a thin letter had been stuffed into Murong Bao's arms like a ghost, and he didn't know it.
"It's okay, it's okay." Murong Bao waved his hand, he was also reckless on weekdays, so he didn't take the collision just now to heart.
"This son is extraordinary, he should be the son of King Wu."
Qin envoy Wang Hong did not accept it when he saw it, but continued to talk with Murong Bao.
originally praised him for his extraordinary appearance, but he was quite happy in his heart, but the latter sentence confused him with his eldest brother, which made him a little dissatisfied, and scolded in his heart, where did this person pop up, he couldn't even chat basically.
"Who are you? What happened in front of King Wu's mansion? He immediately frowned and asked hastily.
What kind of person is it, who is blocking the way of Young Master Ben and ruining his good mood for the day.
Although his eldest brother is indeed very good, he can also be regarded as a suave man, mistaking him for his eldest brother, this kind of conversation can't be answered.
"Oh, I'm Wang Hong, the envoy of the Qin State, and I'm here to ask to see King Wu." Wang Hong smiled and replied politely.
That beam of cautious eyes looked at Murong Bao from time to time, looking at his words and deeds, he looked a little straw bag, it should not be the legendary Shen Min's strategic prince of King Wu.
As soon as he heard the words "Qin State is coming", Murong Bao immediately took a step away from him, even if he was not sharp enough, he knew that Wu Wangfu would never have anything to do with the Qin State envoy.
The group of people who eat idle meals in the court are looking forward to their father's fornication with Qin every day, and it would not be a big fuss if they knew that before the Qin envoy entered the court, he would come to Wu Wangfu to meet him.
"Childe, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that Murong Bao took a step back inexplicably, Wang Hong couldn't help laughing in his heart, the action was so big, it was really a useless straw bag. He deliberately took another step forward and approached Murong Bao again.
"What are you doing so close to me! Let's go! It's okay, just go! ”
Murong Bao hurriedly took another step back, and when he saw him, he was as disgusted as seeing a dog skin plaster, and kept waving his hand to let him go.
"Childe, I'm here to ask to see King Wu."
Wang Hong deliberately pulled and pulled with Murong Baola at the gate of King Wu's mansion, so that everyone passing by could take a look, and then someone with a heart would reach Emperor Yan's ears with a sound and a color.
"My dad isn't here." Murong Bao replied impatiently.
"Then I'll go to the house and wait." Wang Hong said that he was going to walk into the house.
Murong Bao stopped him and said angrily, "Hey, you can't understand people, don't you?" Don't think you're some kind of envoy, just here to talk to me about the family, I'll let you go, you just leave quickly, provoke the lord's temper, I have to take a feather duster to drive you away, right? ”
"Kugou!"
At this time, Murong Bao only heard a familiar cry from behind him, and he was immediately relieved.
"Big brother, this person is so annoying, I let him go, he has to go!" He ran to the man's side and complained.
"Who is it?" Murong Ling lowered his voice and asked.
"Qin envoy......" Murong Bao also replied in a low voice, with the appearance of "This person is not good" written all over his face.
Murong Ling immediately understood, it seemed that those who wanted to deal with their Wu Wangfu were not only Murong Ping and others from Dayan, but also Fu Jian and Wang Meng from Qin State.
This Qin envoy just came, and he didn't go to rest in the post house, but he wanted to come to their Wu Wang's Mansion to get closer, wasn't it just to show His Majesty Dayan, King Wu and Qin have always had a friendship?
It's good to frame King Wu for harboring different intentions, and easily separate the discord between Emperor Dayan and his courtiers, and his heart is vicious!
Although he knew that the person who came was not good, Murong Ling still saluted politely, and opened an unfamiliar distance between the etiquette and the Qin envoy.
"My father is sick and can't see guests, so Qin Envoy might as well go back to the post house to rest, and tell Master Taifu what you need."
First, if you don't see the guest, you will get rid of the relationship, and second, you will calmly answer without losing the etiquette of the two countries, and finally say "What is the need to talk to Master Taifu", this is to block Murong Ping's mouth from taking the opportunity to slander!
When Wang Hong saw it, this person spoke smoothly and handled it just right, it should be Murong Ling, the prince of King Wu.
"Is it His Royal Highness?"
Although he had heard of Murong Ling's name and knew that he was not a simple person who could be easily bluffed, he still had to give it a try.
"Is King Wu seriously ill?"
"Murong Ling is not a talented doctor, his father's illness, the specific doctor knows, my brothers and I still need to take care of it, so we went to the house first."
Murong Ling said indifferently, then pulled Murong Bao back to the house, "Retire." ”
In the meantime, he gave the butler Qi Feng a look, and Qi Feng immediately understood, and immediately politely chased away the guest, "Lord Messenger, please go slowly." ”
With that, he closed the door of King Wu's mansion.
Looking at the closed door of King Wu's mansion, a fine light flashed in Wang Hong's eyes, this Murong Ling is not easy to deal with.
After closing the door, Murong Ling hurriedly pulled Murong Bao to his room.
"Big brother, what's wrong? Didn't you send the man away? Murong Bao was obviously taken aback by the caution of his eldest brother, and he was a little confused before he reacted.
"Kugou, come here." Murong Ling frowned and called Murong Bao to his side.
"Big brother."
Looking at the eldest brother's serious eyes, Murong Bao hurriedly walked over obediently.
"Do you have much to say to the Qin envoy?" He asked warily.
Among the younger brothers, he couldn't rest assured that Murong Bao, who had always had no taboos, and now that the Wu Mansion was eventful, he didn't want his father to worry about it anymore.
When Murong Bao heard the eldest brother's question, he quickly shook his head and replied sincerely, "No, no, don't worry, big brother, although Kugou is not smart, I still know what I can't say." ”
"As soon as I saw that man dressed like a Qin official, I immediately drove him away."
"What physical contact did you have with him?" Murong Ling was still a little relieved, and asked tightly.
"No......" Murong Bao just blurted out, as if he had thought of something, and immediately changed his words, "Big brother, when I went out, I seemed to bump into him......"
When Murong Ling heard this, his eyebrows immediately twisted, and he quickly reached out and patted Murong Bao.
In a few clicks, he touched a foreign object in his arms.
"What is this?" He took out the envelope and opened it immediately.
The letter bluntly stated:
"With the Qing, lonely and worried, the beginning of winter is approaching, outside Chang'an City, welcome the good news."
When Murong Bao saw Qin Guo's letter, he was also frightened, he didn't know how he could have this letter on him.
"Big brother, I don't know how I got this letter, I don't know when he stuffed it in!" He hurriedly explained.
Murong Ling looked serious, didn't say a word, immediately lit the candlestick, and quickly burned the letter.
"Big brother...... This time I was negligent......" Murong Bao shouted in a low voice, for fear that the eldest brother would blame.
"I know, it was Qin Envoy who did it on purpose." Although Murong Ling didn't say anything harsh, his frowning brows didn't let go for a moment, "But the mansion has not been peaceful recently, you must be more careful in everything." ”
"Got it, big brother." Murong Bao nodded and replied solemnly.
I'm afraid it's eventful!
****
Yan Kingdom, Imperial Palace, Bronze Bird Palace
The drum music is cheerful, crisp and playing, more than ten dancing girls are dressed in colorful clothes, in the center of the hall, light man dance, fold the willow waist to micro steps, Hu Xuan and turn, between the chips, only smell the fat fragrance intoxicating.
Emperor Murong Wei of Yan State is on the dragon throne, the Queen Mother can be full of Hun clan, and the queen can be full of Hun Da Min to sit on the left and right sides of Murong Wei, and the banquet guests are divided into two columns, the head of the left is Taifu Murong Commentary, and the Qin envoy is the first on the right.
"Lonely today set up a banquet, welcome Qin envoy Wang Hong from afar, the ministers do not have to be formal, let go of eating and drinking."
Murong Wei held the golden cup in his hand, and in a loud voice, there was no loss of majesty in his politeness.
The Queen Mother glanced at her son with satisfaction, worthy of being the son she had trained since childhood, and in the big scene, he had always acted like an emperor.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." All the ministers stood up and thanked him.
"Thank Your Majesty Emperor Yan for setting up such a big banquet, Wang Hong is very honored."
Qin envoy Wang Hong also got up, respectfully thanked, and raised his head to drink the wine in the cup.
Although his mouth was full of gratitude, he kept muttering in his heart, with such a feast, I am afraid that the matter of the land will be delayed again and again.
"I have heard that Yecheng is rich in good wine, and when I drink it today, it is really extraordinary, good wine! What wine! Wang Hong drank a cup and was full of praise.
Although he knew in his heart that it would not be easy to ask for the city from the tiger's mouth, he still had to maintain this matter.
"Lord Wang Hong doesn't know, this is a thirty-year-old wine in the palace specially ordered by His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and I have the opportunity to taste it thanks to Lord Wang's blessing." Murong Ping raised his glass, and soon talked with the Qin envoy, and the matter of entertainment was at his fingertips.
When Wang Hong heard this, he was even more flattered, "His Majesty Emperor Yan is loved, Wang Hong is honored, honored!" ”
"Lord Wang doesn't have to be polite, Qin Yan's friends are like siblings, you come to Yecheng, it's no different from going home." Murong Wei said kindly with a smile.
But his polite smile, in Wang Hong's eyes, seemed particularly hypocritical, if Yan Guo and Qin Guo were really like brothers, they would have fulfilled their promise a long time ago, and ceded the land west of the Tiger Prison to Qin State according to the agreement, where did he need to go all the way to this trip.
"What Emperor Yan said is just like the heart of King Qin." Wang Hong thanked him and drank another cup, "When I came, King Qin repeatedly chanted, Qin Yan is good, and the world is lucky." ”
"Lone and King Qin, although they have not met, but they only feel that God has been friends for a long time, just as King Qin said, Qin Yan is good, and the world is lucky!"
"Qin Yan's goodness, the world's luck!" Murong Ping hurriedly followed Murong Wei's words and took the lead in echoing.
"Qin Yan's goodness, the world's luck!"
"Qin Yan's goodness, the world's luck!"
The hundred officials also hurriedly raised their glasses and praised with a postscript.
On the left side, a young man wearing a purple and black embroidered python robe silently drank the wine in the cup, and between the staggering, he only felt hypocritical and abnormal, and behind every polite sentence, there was a raw distance. Murong Chong knew that soon, there would be someone to break such a conversation with different thoughts.
Otherwise, Wang Hong, who came all the way, would have come in vain.
As Murong Chong expected, Wang Hong had been polite for a long time when he saw it, and Qin Yan had made good friends, and he had also rendered it in advance, so it was time to take advantage of the conversation about the friendship between the two countries and hurry up to the topic.
"As Your Majesty said, I, Qin and Yan, are brothers and sisters, and we are inseparable from each other."
As soon as he heard the words "no distinction between each other", Murong Wei was stunned, his brothers had all settled their accounts, why didn't they distinguish between each other. As soon as Qin Envoy said this, he felt that he might be about to enter the sensitive topic of promising to cede land.
He quietly glanced at the Queen Mother, how should he be good for such a difficult conversation.
But Zuhun immediately saw Murong Wei's confusion, and she immediately took over the words, "Qin and Yan countries, you have to have a lot of contacts, Lord Wang is the first time to come to Yecheng, the mourning family remembers, the last time the envoy of Qin came was a month ago, I don't know how King Qin is doing recently?" ”
In the end, it was a result of years of struggle, but compared to Murong Wei, the Zuhun clan was much more sophisticated, and quickly and naturally diverted the topic.
A gleam flashed in Wang Hong's eyes, this is the demon queen of Yan Guo who controls the government, and she is really an old woman who is good at playing with power.
Seeing that she didn't want to mention the matter of ceding the city at all, I was afraid that she had already made plans and wanted to repay the debt.
Sometimes I play too much smartly, and I am careful to play myself and Yan Guo to death.
"Thanks to the Queen Mother's concern, everything is fine with King Qin, His Majesty King Qin always likes to tell our courtiers that the four dynasties of the Yan Kingdom have become famous in the world for their faithfulness." Wang Hong did not hesitate and continued to introduce his topic.
But Zuhun couldn't help frowning slightly, this Wang Hong is not so easy to deal with.
"My Lord Your Majesty often says that Qin Yan is on good terms, and the united party is the great harmony of the world. A few months ago, the Eastern Jin Dynasty Huan Wen Yan, my lord generously sent troops to help, Yan also promised that after the end of the war, the land west of the tiger prison was given to the Qin State, now the Yan army has won a great victory, my lord specially ordered Wei Chen to come to congratulate, and I also want to ask, when will the city be handed over? ”
As soon as Wang Hong's words came out, the officials of Yan State, who had been talking happily, calmed down suddenly, and even the drunkenness of Yan Shan also sobered up.
Murong Wei was stunned, this Wang Hong finally said the topic he didn't want to talk about the most.
"Just as Lord Wang said, our Yan Kingdom has always served the world with faith and righteousness, and the Qin State has helped each other, mourning the family and the ministers, and we have kept it in mind, and the promise of the city is also a covenant between the two countries, and our Yan Kingdom will definitely fulfill its promise."
The Queen Mother quickly took over the words and calmly said the words she had prepared.
"Master Taifu, have all the arrangements been made for the handover of troops in our Yan Kingdom?" She rolled her phoenix eyes and threw this process of continuing to play to Murong Ping.
Murong Ping immediately understood, got up and replied solemnly, "Back to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the land west of the Tiger Prison is a dangerous town, and it must not be lost, the handover of troops needs to be perfect, and there must not be the slightest sloppy mistake, although the old minister has already arranged it, but the specific deployment still needs to be discussed with the Ministry of War, I am afraid it will take some time." ”
"Lord Wang, you can go back and report to King Qin, once we have a proper handover of forces here, we will definitely fulfill our promise." Seeing that the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager had already helped him play this scene enough, Murong Wei said unhurriedly.
"There is a promise from His Majesty and the Queen Mother, Wang Hong's trip has become a major event, if the Queen Mother and His Majesty can just say, write a letter, Wang Hong will return to Qin, it will be better to make a difference, I don't know Your Majesty, can you personally open the imperial pen?"
As smart as Wang Hong, how could he not see Yan Guo's plan to delay the army, at this time, a piece of paper evidence is so important.
"Lord Wang is really an anxious person, you see that now after three rounds of drinking, Your Majesty is a little drunk, how can you still hold a pen, let's pass a few days." The Empress Dowager Kezu Hun quickly shirked Wang Hong's request.
"Lord Wang, let's have a good drink today, whether it's state affairs or other things, let's talk about it another day."
Murong Ping saw the opportunity to act, and hurriedly followed the words of the Queen Mother Ke Zuhun to end this sensitive topic.
"Okay, Master Taifu, Wang Hong will definitely drink to his heart's content today."
Wang Hong knew that if he continued to ask about the land cut, Yan Guo would not give him any positive answers, and it would be meaningless to have a meaningless conversation.
Qin Tianwang Wen Tao Wuluo, has already seen through the nature of Yan State to cross the river and demolish the bridge, he did not have much hope for Wang Hong's trip, the purpose of their Qin State is very simple, Yan State fulfilled its promise to cede the city is the best, if the contract should not be broken, their Qin State has not lost money, and when the time comes, it is also regarded as the Yan State is untrustworthy, and they are also famous.
