Chapter 13: The Northern Zhou Envoy
"Then what is Your Majesty bothering about?"
"Mu Qingxia gave me a book of recitals, and explained the beginning and end of Yuan Chunzhi's case. He said that he went to check Yuan Chunzhi's mansion and found a lot of gold and silver treasures, all of which were the people's fat and people's ointment that he had looted, and the amount was jaw-dropping. ”
"Fortunately, Your Majesty has found out this big corrupt official."
"I'm thinking, I'm so greedy to find out so casually. How much do I not know? My grandfather has been assisting the government for three years, but in fact, it is difficult to do, and when there is a big move, it is easy to be detained as controlling the court. ”
Xiao Lianzi heard it in a fog, and Erzhang was confused.
"Forget it, I won't tell you, you won't understand!"
"The slave doesn't understand this, he only knows that His Majesty is wise!" Xiao Lianzi laughed twice, only knowing that he looked at Zhao Chengxi with reverence.
"You kid, look at your performance so well, it's Halloween in a while, I'll take you to see the Lantern Festival!"
"Lantern Festival?" Xiao Lianzi suddenly realized, "Your Majesty, didn't Prime Minister Meng Cheng let you leave the palace?" ”
"I didn't agree, there are still many places outside the palace that I haven't gone to yet!" Zhao Chengxi disagreed.
"But Your Majesty, the slave heard that the folk lantern festival can be lively, but it is beautiful!" Xiao Lianzi was actually moved.
"Yes, I also heard about it......" Zhao Chengxi's eyes were also full of longing.
"Fifth sister, you have to behave well at the banquet later, but don't lose the face of our Northern Zhou Kingdom." Hu Yanjue leaned in the carriage and looked at the delicate woman beside him.
"Third brother, don't worry, just with my beauty, when the time comes, the little emperor of the Tanglin Kingdom will definitely fall under my pomegranate skirt as soon as he sees me." Huyan Qingwu apricot eyes and red lips, skin is better than snow, charming eyes like spring, soft and soft when he speaks, a pair of soul-stirring eyes are like a layer of mist, it is really a stunner in the world.
"Fifth sister, although this little emperor is short and thin, his appearance is still first-class, and it is not an insult to your title of the first beauty of the Northern Zhou Kingdom."
"Third brother, we arrived in Jingling City first, presumably we have seen the emperor?"
Hu Yanjue only smiled and didn't answer, and said to himself: "The most important thing is that he hasn't accepted a concubine yet, if you can get his blue eyes, the third brother doesn't ask you to be a queen, I just want you to be a favorite concubine, and this king and my father will be at ease." ”
"Third brother, I know. Don't you and your father just want me to blow the pillow wind and separate the emperor of the Tanglin Kingdom from that Qin Chongzhou......"
"Fifth sister, you can't talk nonsense, it's not good if you are heard by someone with a heart...... it will be taken seriously" Hu Yan Juexing's eyes narrowed slightly, and the dangerous aura unconsciously made Hu Yan Qingwu shiver.
Her third brother is not easy to mess with, although she always has a smile on her face, but he is the most thoughtful among her brothers and sisters. Huyan Qingwu hurriedly smiled knowingly, and said coquettishly: "Oh, third brother, my sister knows that she is wrong, and she will never talk nonsense again." ”
"Just remember."
Zhao Chengxi sat on a high seat, watching Hu Yanjue and several envoys slowly walk to the front of the hall.
"Xiao Wang, Northern Zhou Kingdom, Hu Yanjue, see Your Majesty." Hu Yanjue bowed his head slightly and gave Zhao Chengxi a bow.
"The three princes are exempt." Zhao Chengxi secretly looked at the three princes of the Northern Zhou Kingdom, this third prince gave birth to a good skin, this skin is a little whiter and tenderer than the girl's family, and the eyebrows and eyes are even more good, I heard that this Hu Yanjue mother is the favorite concubine of the Northern Zhou Dynasty's favorite crown six palaces, and today you can get a glimpse of the demeanor of this favorite concubine from Hu Yanjue.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Wang came on the orders of his father, and is willing to shake hands with the Tanglin Kingdom and make peace, in order to show the sincerity of our country, Xiao Wang has prepared three gifts for His Majesty."
"Oh? I don't know what it is? Zhao Chengxi's curiosity was aroused.
"Back to Your Majesty, this is a gift, presumably Your Majesty has already received it, it is the five cities on the border between the two countries, and now it is under the jurisdiction of the Tanglin Kingdom."
Zhao Chengxi snorted coldly, this Northern Zhou Kingdom is really shameless, his skills are not as good as others and he lost to us, and now it has become a gift in his mouth.
Hu Yanjue saw Zhao Chengxi's disdain, and smiled secretly in his heart, this His Majesty of the Tanglin Kingdom is really too young, everything he wants is written on his face, it seems that there is no city.
"Your Majesty, this second gift is a treasure that my father found a few years ago, in order to show the importance of the friendly relations between the two countries, I can't bear to cut my love, and I ordered the little king to travel thousands of miles to present it to Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty is really polite, please tell me my thanks when the third prince goes back." Zhao Chengxi thanked him on his lips, but secretly slandered himself in his heart: Is that emperor of the Northern Zhou Kingdom so kind, I want to see what kind of treasure it is.
"Xiao Wang obeys." Hu Yanjue clapped his hands and signaled that the subordinates outside the hall could come in.
Zhao Chengxi looked curiously, and saw ten big men divided into two columns and carried something covered with red cloth to the hall. Zhao Chengxi saw that those big men were sweating profusely without taking a few steps, walking slowly and heavily step by step, it seems that the things they carry are really not light.
The ten big men counted one, two, three, put down the burden in unison, and fell to the ground with a bang, feeling that the entire hall trembled, which startled everyone.
"Your Majesty, this is a gift from my father to Your Majesty." Hu Yanjue grabbed the red silk and ripped it off with a wave of his hand.
Zhao Chengxi looked at it fixedly, quite dumbfounded, what is this? Isn't it just a black greatsword?
Not only Zhao Chengxi, but also the ministers present exchanged heads and discussions, obviously very dissatisfied with this gift.
Seeing this, Hu Yanjue quietly lowered the smile in his eyes, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the giant sword that my father dug up at the foot of my pilgrimage mountain a few years ago. ”
Zhao Chengxi raised his eyebrows, how could I hear the words of this little broken prince like he was scolding me? Sending such a broken copper and iron is blowing all over the sky, and it is shameless to the extreme.
Although Zhao Chengxi scolded Hu Yanjue in his heart, he still had to maintain the demeanor of the lord of a country on his face.
Zhao Chengxi cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Then thank you, Your Majesty." Let's carry it down first. ”
Unexpectedly, Hu Yanjue's next sentence made Zhao Chengxi almost throw the cup on the table.
"Your Majesty, do you want to try?" Hu Yanjue looked respectful, as if his proposal was a matter of course.
Zhao Chengxi forced a smile and made an excuse to say: "I was infected with wind and cold a few days ago, and now I have recovered, my body is still a little weak, and I can't raise my strength, so let's stop trying the sword today." ”
"Your Majesty is extremely brave, you must not need much strength, just raise your hand slightly, you can wield this giant sword." Hu Yanjue said a serious matter, and people who don't know Zhao Chengxi are afraid that they will believe it when they hear it.
