The Golden Horde is a nomadic country in the north of the Great Zhou, and it is also a strong enemy of the Great Zhou.

At the beginning, the Great Zhou was able to attack each other with the Golden Horde, but later it was almost one-sided and passively beaten, and even lost the most important barrier in the north, Kyushu.

If it weren't for the fact that the Golden Horde was mostly cavalry and was not good at attacking cities, it had been deflated under the fortified cities of the Great Zhou for more than a hundred years, maybe the Great Zhou would have been gone by now.

The main task that Yang Cheng received was to go deep into the interior of the Golden Horde and destroy its earthly Buddha kingdom in order to complete the task.

It's a pity that he still doesn't know what the Buddha Kingdom on this earth is when it falls to the ground.

He only knew that the two temples on the list of rivers and lakes referred to the King Kong Minglun Temple, the state religion of the Golden Horde.

But he had never heard the name of the earthly Buddha kingdom.

"Do you know a lot about the Golden Horde?"

Yang Cheng turned his head to Jiang Xuerou and asked.

Jiang Xuerou nodded and said, "It's a lot, Lord Zhang always said that the Golden Horde is my Great Zhou's henchman."

If the Golden Horde is not removed, and the northern Kyushu is not recovered, there will be no peace in my Great Zhou.

Moreover, more than ten years ago, a monk from the Golden Horde came to the Central Plains to challenge the masters of the major factions, won more than ten games in a row, and lost face in the Central Plains martial arts.

In the end, it was Master Xuanbei, the previous abbot of Shaolin Temple, who tried his best to defeat him, but Master Xuanbei also died of serious injuries a month later. ”

Yang Cheng squinted his eyes and said: "It's very arrogant, of course, it's also because the Great Zhou State is weak, and the Central Plains martial arts are not enough."

By the way, did you Tianjian Gate do it at that time? Also defeated at the hands of that monk? ”

"It is enough to come to the capital half a month in advance for Your Majesty's birthday, but the Golden Horde came here more than two months in advance, obviously the person who came is not good, I want to inform Lord Zhang first."

Jiang Xuerou didn't answer Yang Cheng, and she didn't know if she was really anxious or didn't want to answer, anyway, she jumped directly off the city wall and disappeared in a few steps.

Love to read

Yang Cheng also jumped off the city wall, and Ye Meiniang was waiting for him below.

"Boss, Gonggong Han urgently recruits the captains and palms from all over the place to go back to discuss matters."

After finishing speaking, Ye Meiniang also looked in the direction where Jiang Xuerou left and pouted: "Boss, that girl is from the Heavenly Sword Sect, and she is not from us all the way."

And you also seriously injured her senior brother and her uncle, she is always close to you, and she must not be well-intentioned! ”

Yang Cheng suddenly smiled and said, "Then do you think that if I get close to her, will I also not have a good heart?" ”

Ye Meiniang was stunned.

The boss can't really think about that girl, right?

Yang Cheng waved his hand and said, "Just kidding."

However, Jiang Xuerou was born in the Heavenly Sword Sect and was trusted by Zhang Xiren, so this identity was still very useful.

I don't have any other thoughts on her, just one step ahead of time, what if I can use it later? ”

Ye Meiniang was still slightly puzzled.

Later? When was that?

After returning to the Imperial Guarding Division, in less than half an hour, all the major captains and envoys of the Imperial Guarding Division gathered in the main hall.

Gonggong Han said sharply: "The mission of the Golden Horde has entered Beijing, and tomorrow it will meet Your Majesty.

The barbarians of the Golden Horde have always been wolf-like, and in order to prevent them from causing any trouble tomorrow, our Imperial Guard Division will enter the Imperial City from today and participate in the defense of the Imperial City together with the forbidden army.

Many of you are from the forbidden army, and you are already familiar with this set, so you don't need me to tell you more.

If you are not from the forbidden army, don't go to the command, hand over your subordinates temporarily, and follow me into the main hall to protect Your Majesty! ”

"Yes!"

Yang Cheng stood up and answered with everyone, and at the same time his heart moved.

He is not a captain from the forbidden army, so he will follow Gonggong Han to the main hall to protect the emperor.

This also means that he can finally see the Great Zhou Emperor with his own eyes.

Although seeing it doesn't mean that you can speak, at least it's an improvement, and you don't have to worry about yourself failing in the task for no reason.

The captain of the Imperial Guard, who was responsible for guarding the Imperial City, had already entered the Imperial City at night and began to distribute the defense locations.

And Yang Cheng and the others followed Han Gonggong into the main hall of the palace early the next morning, and scattered in the center of the careful guards around the main hall.

Yang Cheng's position was not bad, he was standing diagonally behind the center of the main hall, and Gonggong Han was not far from him, and he could see most of the scenes in the main hall at a glance.

An hour later, the Great Zhou Emperor Zhou Heng and many ministers entered the main hall.

This is the first time Yang Cheng has seen this target that is closely related to his mission and needs to protect his immortality.

Zhou Heng himself is a little older than his actual age, he should only be close to forty, but in fact he looks like he is in his forties.

The face is white and beardless, and the appearance is thoughtful, but the body is a little weak and thin, and he looks like he has lost his kidney essence.

Even if he was wearing a dragon robe, he didn't actually have much human momentum, but yawned from time to time, feeling a little tired and tired.

After coming for such a long time, Yang Cheng also knew what kind of person Zhou Heng was from everyone's hearsay and the news he had inquired about.

Don't look at the current big Zhou Feng smoke, external worries and internal troubles, natural and man-made disasters are continuous, but in fact, there are really few things that are Zhou Heng's pot.

These things were already in his grandfather's and his father's generation, but his generation gradually deteriorated.

Zhou Heng's actions are definitely not faint.

There is no large-scale construction, and there is no extravagant enjoyment, and the treatment of ministers can be regarded as lenient, and even lenient to the point of being a little weak.

At most, he likes to take a few concubines and play a game of hide and seek without clothes in the back garden.

There are no large-scale draft girls here, just secretly looking for some innocent white families to enter the palace.

But Zhou Heng is definitely not a Ming Jun.

He has been on the throne for 20 years, and he has almost achieved nothing, and he is at the mercy of the ministers when he does things, and he must listen to the orders of the Empress Dowager above.

Therefore, Zhou Heng, the emperor, has no authority and no right to speak.

In one sentence to describe Zhou Heng, it is mediocrity, extreme mediocrity.

If the Great Zhou Dynasty is prosperous now, then an untempered emperor like Zhou Heng may still be praised as a generation of Ming monarchs.

But it's a pity that it's a troubled world now, and as a monarch and emperor, mediocrity itself is a mistake.

Yang Cheng looked around and saw several of the strongest forces in the court today.

Qingliu is headed by Zhang Xiren.

This old man is a veteran of the Three Dynasties and the teacher of the crown prince, and his status is respected.

He has patches on his official uniform, which is not deliberately frugal, but he only has one set of civilian clothes to wear back and forth in addition to his official robe.

Opposite Zhang Xiren was Cai Yan, the imperial master of the dynasty.

The largest minister of the Great Zhou court, he was also the former emperor's entrusted minister, and it is said that he was valued by the empress dowager.

It's just that he is corrupt and wields power, and his reputation in the court and the people is not very good.

The other is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his early fifties, wearing a python robe, and has a flying and domineering temperament.

He is the emperor's uncle today, the eighth prince Zhou Bingzhi, the favorite youngest son of the empress dowager.

It is said that Zhou Heng's grandfather was entangled in whether to pass on the throne to his favorite youngest son or to Zhou Heng's father when he chose to pass on the throne.

In the end, Zhou Heng's grandfather still decided to pass on the throne to Zhou Heng's father, after all, it was the national policy of the Great Zhou Dynasty to establish a long heir, even though the Empress Dowager was against it, but the throne was still in the hands of Zhou Heng's father.

However, Zhou Heng's father was a little unlucky, and he died of illness after sitting on the throne for a few years, at this time Zhou Heng was still a teenager and a half-year-old, but the eighth prince was already in his twenties.

The eighth prince thought that it would definitely be his turn to take the throne at this time, but he was unanimously opposed by the court, spraying his brother and his brother and illegal etiquette, etc.

In the end, the eighth prince failed to ascend the throne, so he could only watch Zhou Heng sit on the throne, and he had to salute him.

In short, Yang Cheng took a look around, this Great Zhou court is not only chaotic outside, but also chaotic inside.

"An audience of the envoys of the Golden Horde."

As a little eunuch shouted out at a sharp end, another little eunuch outside the public gate shouted out at the end of the last word, and the cycle went back and forth, straight outside the palace gate.

A moment later, eight emissaries from the Golden Horde, along with three monks, slowly entered the main hall.

The first envoy was about thirty years old, but the steppe was windy and sandy, so the people of the Golden Horde were relatively old, and this envoy looked like he was in his forties.

"Envoy of the Land of the Glorious Eternal Sun, meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou."

The envoy of the Golden Horde did not bow down, but just put his left hand on his chest and bowed slightly, which made the faces of many ministers present darken at the same time.

The Golden Horde also had a kneeling salute, but the envoy only made a chest soothing salute, making it clear that he looked down on him Da Zhou.

Moreover, the Golden Horde claims to be the country of the glorious eternal sun, which means that the sun sets on the top of the Great Khan's Golden Horde, and the glory never sets.

This country name is extremely arrogant and arrogant, in the past, they called it themselves, but today they even took it to the Great Zhou Palace and said that this is simply humiliating the Great Zhou!

Zhang Xiren snorted coldly: "Ignorant barbarians, don't understand etiquette!" ”

The envoy of the Golden Horde looked at Zhang Xiren with a smile: "What Scholar Zhang said is strange, are the barbarians ignorant?"

Studying the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood, it can be regarded as a rough literary and ink, is it possible that just because he was born in the grassland, he can be regarded as an ignorant barbarian? ”

Zhang Xiren said coldly: "Since you have just learned Wenmo, why are you so rude when you meet my Great Zhou Emperor in my main hall?" ”

The envoy of the Golden Horde shook his head and said, "The scholar is wrong with this, who made up this ceremony?" It's you Central Plains people, but my Khanate also has my Khanate's own courtesy.

Your envoys of the Great Zhou never observed the etiquette of our Khanate when they met with the Great Khan of our country, so why do you have to ask us to observe the etiquette of the Great Zhou today?

Zhang University is a scholar who is rich and rich, is it possible that he doesn't even know the saying that he should not do to others what he does not want to be done? ”

Seeing a man with a rough face and a polite manner, and his attitude was speechless to the dignified scholar Zhang Xiren, how weird and weird this scene was.
