Chapter 112: The Trade of Purple Ginseng
Yu Chengyun took Yu Mingche and Cheng Hao to the palace, His Majesty was already waiting for them in the main hall, he had recovered now, his face had become ruddy, and he was dressed in a dragon robe, looking extremely radiant.
When Yu Mingche saw His Majesty who had recovered as before, his mood was really complicated, thinking that he had almost died in a foreign country, and his eyes were filled with fog.
"See His Majesty the Emperor, I have come this time with a letter of request for peace, hoping to conclude an agreement with your country to stop fighting forever." Cheng Hao saw Yu Mingche's hesitation, and hurriedly walked to the front to salute the emperor and said respectfully.
"Lord Cheng Hao, I have heard about the affairs of the Chi Wu clan, and now that the predicament has been solved, I am very relieved, I will arrange for King Yan and the crown prince to contact and negotiate with you for the specific truce." The emperor said with a red face.
He came over with his father-in-law and wanted to take Cheng Hao to the post house to rest, Cheng Hao hurriedly said to the emperor:
"Cheng Hao has one more thing to ask for, this time King Yan suffered in my Chiwu clan, Princess Yan also went to Liangzhou City, my princess Laya has a very good relationship with her, because she came to many unfamiliar places in your country, this time Raya proposed to live in the Yan Palace, and ask Princess Yan for more advice."
"Yes, then you will be responsible for the reception of the lord of Yan this time, you must do it well!" His Majesty said to Yu Mingche with a smile.
Then he and his father-in-law took Cheng Hao and Princess Raya who were waiting outside the door, and went to the imperial garden to rest first.
"Your Majesty, seeing your body recover, the emperor is really comforted a lot." Now that there are only a few of them left in the main hall, Yu Mingche no longer hides it.
"My body has recovered, but you, the fourth emperor brother, heard that I have suffered a lot in Liangzhou City, and Yu Chiyan is also." His Majesty walked down, took Yu Mingche's hand and said cordially.
Speaking of Wei Chiyan, several people were silent, and the dignified generation of generals finally fell in a foreign country because of the frame-up of the spies, which made everyone sigh.
"Your Majesty, Yu Chiyan's body, I have already brought it back with the help of the Lord of Cheng Hao, and I have arranged for someone to hand it over to his family in advance." Yu Mingche choked up and said.
"Wei Chiyan knows that you are in danger for him, and now you see that we and the Chi Wu clan have finally stopped the endless struggle for a hundred years, I should be relieved, promise, you go to comfort his family on behalf of me, and bury General Wei Chi by the way." His Majesty also said unbearably.
Yu Chengyun saluted respectfully beside him and nodded in reply to His Majesty's arrangement.
"Fourth Emperor Brother, this time I escaped from death, your escape from death is indispensable to Princess Yan's credit, I heard that because of saving you, I also lost your first child, which really makes me sad, I have something here to reward her, which is a little comfort to her." Saying that His Majesty announced his intentions to the court, he immediately brought over a brocade box.
"This is the Zixia ginseng given to us by the palace for a hundred years, how many emperors have not been willing to use it, this time in order to reward Princess Yan, I will reward it to you, I hope she will recover as soon as possible, and renew the incense for you." His Majesty patted Yu Mingche's hand affectionately and said.
"Your Majesty, this Zixia ginseng is really precious, and it is natural for our husband and wife to be loyal to the country, and we dare not accept such a valuable reward." When Yu Mingche heard Zixia ginseng, he was very happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, so he had to excuse himself.
"You have calmed down the chaos for the country this time, and assisted the prince to stabilize the political situation during my serious illness, Princess Yan went out several times to find medicinal materials for me to detoxify, your husband and wife saved not just me, but the whole country, this gift is not heavy, accept it." His Majesty laughed again and said.
Yu Mingche had no choice but to cautiously take the brocade box containing Zixia ginseng, and knelt down again to salute and thank His Majesty.
"Fourth Emperor Uncle, there is one more thing, Cheng Hao really came to our Imperial City this time to come for peace?" Yu Chengyun couldn't help but ask beside him.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince, during my time in Liangzhou, the spies must have reported to you that the Chiwu clan was originally in the hands of Cheng Duo, and the lord Cheng Hao has been oppressed. After Yun'er and I went this time, I took the opportunity to help him go out to Chengduo, and now the Chiwu clan is unable to fight again, I think I should sincerely want to seek peace. Yu Mingche put down the brocade box and quickly replied.
"Even so, then we can't let the war start again, and this time we must come up with a reasonable agreement so that they can't turn over again." Yu Chengyun said next to him.
"Then talk to them, and in the future, the Chiwu clan will be our subject country and pay tribute to us forever." His Majesty turned his back and said solemnly.
"Your Majesty..." Yu Mingche shouted with some hesitation when he heard him say this.
"There's no need to talk about it. By the way, what are your eyebrows in investigating the matter of the Ripple King? The emperor suppressed the words that Yu Mingche wanted to justify, and then changed the subject and asked.
"Cheng Duo has always colluded with King Lian, and this time, in order to help him eradicate Cheng Duo, I also ask him to give us evidence of collusion, which is now here." Yu Mingche said as he handed a box to the emperor with both hands.
He opened the box and presented the letters and other evidence to the emperor, and he was furious after reading it, and then left Yu Chengyun and told Yu Mingche to go back and rest.
Yu Mingche carried the brocade box containing Zixia ginseng to the Imperial Garden, and met Cheng Hao and Laya who were waiting for him.
"Big brother, what is this?" Cheng Hao asked with some confusion.
"Lord, this is the palace, the two of you should go back to the Yanwang Mansion with me to rest." Yu Mingche saluted Cheng Hao first in front of everyone and then said respectfully.
Cheng Hao understood what he meant, so he said goodbye to his father-in-law, and returned to Yanwang's Mansion with Yu Mingche.
Mu Xiyun and Wuwei had already received the news in advance, and stood at the gate waiting for them, and when they saw Raya, Mu Xiyun ran over with a smile, and the two chattering women walked into the palace holding hands with each other.
"Big brother, how's it going? Is this purple ginseng? Cheng Hao asked, pointing to the brocade box.
"Second brother, how did you know that this is Zixia ginseng?" Yu Mingche asked suspiciously.
"Big brother, it seems that you need to check the people around you, I have heard about it this morning, they have already learned, another purpose of our trip is for this purple ginseng, and now it is given to us in advance, I am afraid that Your Majesty the Emperor will open his mouth to return the salute to me." Cheng Hao said thoughtfully.
Wuwei glanced at them, and immediately went to look for clues with Zhisong, while the two men took a look, and entered the palace one after the other.
