Chapter 209: Back to the pot
Seeing Chen Hai's answer, the young man in the ring still maintained a faint smile. And everyone in the mission below also showed a hint of a smile, and An Zhe's mouth was about to crack with laughter.
"Can you agree with Chen Aiqing's words?" Li Yao's handsome face also smiled, looked at the surrounding officials, and asked again.
"What Lord Chen said is extremely true, the imperial envoy came from afar, look at it pitiful, it is not impossible to meet this request!"
"It's extreme, it's extreme!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!" ……………… The hundred officials of the imperial court smiled and spoke, looking at the envoys of the various dynasties with a proud look, full of the taste of charity.
And the children of the family and the literati in the audience below shook their heads one by one and sighed, and their original expectations were gone.
"It's a pity, the dynasty mission is like this, I'm afraid of losing."
"How normal, you see that they were menacing when they came, and now you are looking at them, and you have a correct understanding of the power of our Dayu Dynasty, how dare you look for abuse."
"But how do I feel cheating!"
"Look at that An Dasha of the Southern Underworld Dynasty, his mouth is about to laugh, and he always feels a little uneasy with the face of a villain."
"You also know that he is a fool, he can go back quickly, can he not be happy, does he still want to be beaten here, just a few bags of grain, what kind of conspiracy can he play?"
"Yes." However, in the harmonious and pleasant atmosphere of the officials and the crowd below, there were several officials who stared at the sixty-four squares in the ring, and their faces became more and more solemn.
"Your Majesty, no!" Suddenly, a voice broke the pleasant atmosphere, and a heroic young prince stood up.
It was Li Heng! When Li Heng stood up to stop him, everyone was stunned. Li Yao watched Li Heng come out, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Li Heng raised his head and looked at the young man of the Mid Dynasty in the ring, faintly angry: "Your Majesty, this is a scam, don't be deceived by him, you who are proficient in mental arithmetic, you can do it carefully now, and see if you can calculate how much food you need to reach the sixty-fourth grid!" I'm afraid that filling the entire palace will not be enough! Li Heng's sharp voice resounded throughout the square, and it was silent.
"How is this possible?"
"It's only about sixty squares, is there really so many?" Some immediately exclaimed. But more people looked at the lattice in the ring in unison and immediately calculated.
The speaker was King Heng, and he couldn't have made such a joke. If it's fake, it's easy to spot. But if it's true, then they're going to make a big fuss.
Especially Chen Hai's face turned white at once, if other people said such things, he would dare to refute it, but this is King Heng, and King Heng can't harm him.
And the young man of the Mead Dynasty in the ring was shocked, staring at Li Heng, impossible, impossible, no one would see through the master's trap so soon.
And everyone in the dynasty envoy looked at the hundred officials of the Dayu Dynasty and carefully calculated, and their hearts sank little by little. The whole square was quiet, only Li Yuan looked up and down with nothing to do, Li Yao, whose face was a little blue, and Li Heng, who was a little proud in his eyes.
Tut-tut! Li Yuan can be seen clearly, Li Yao wants to take advantage of today's plan to take the opportunity to solve Chen Hai, the household servant, a big help for Li Heng in the imperial court.
However, I didn't expect Li Heng to intervene. I don't know if Li Heng was prepared, or if he just reacted?
Anyway, it's a reverse blow. When everyone had calculated that they needed more and more food, and that they had not yet filled sixty-four compartments, they understood that it was a big trap set for them by the imperial mission.
And Li Heng is the representative of today's efforts to turn the tide. Don't rise in prestige yet! When the time comes, if it is publicized and guided, Li Yao will become a confused emperor.
In contrast, Kyoto is going to be lively again. Li Yao naturally thought of all this, so his face turned blue, originally today he wanted to show his wise and martial side to the world, but he didn't expect to be destroyed by Li Heng.
Li Heng looked at Li Yaotieqing's face, deliberately showing a confident appearance, if a careful person would find that there was a faint smugness in Li Heng's eyes.
Li Yao, Li Yao, when you react, I don't know who you will suspect? Lin Xiang! Lu Xun! It's still the fifth brother!
"Damn, I can't figure it out!"
"Ma Dan, Lao Tzu hasn't counted half of it, it's more than 10 million." The children of the family and the literati began to exclaim one by one.
And the faces of the hundred officials are becoming more and more solemn, and Chen Hai is even more trembling. Li Heng saw the scene of everyone, smiled slightly, and said to the envoy: "If you want to use despicable tricks to calculate my Dayu Dynasty, you should have a good match after three battles!" ”
"His Royal Highness King Heng is right, you deliberately admit defeat and want us to relax our vigilance, and then make this request, you want to harm our door!"
"Trash, keep playing!" The crowd excitedly said. Baiguan's face also showed anger, shame, this time it's a big shame!
Once again, if it weren't for King Heng's voice, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty would have been played by the dynasty envoys. Seeing that the plan was revealed, all the people in the imperial mission bowed their heads and remained silent.
And An Zhe clenched his fists, his mood fell from the sky in an instant, and when there was a huge gap in his heart, he was embarrassed and said loudly: "Didn't you agree just now, and now you want to regret it, you Dayu Dynasty is so untrustworthy?" When everyone heard this, they looked at An Zhe, and their anger became even stronger.
"What?"
"When did we say yes?"
"Your Majesty hasn't said yes yet, you just want to play Lai." For a while, the crowd was excited, and all kinds of angry scolding came.
"Silence!" A cold snort! Li Yao finally spoke, and everyone closed their mouths and looked at Li Yao.
Li Yao's face had regained his calm, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes, An Zhe was indeed a good helper, he originally thought that Li Heng would expose the mission deception, and they would flee in shame, but he didn't expect An Zhe to be shameless and ask them to admit it.
Li Yao instantly looked at Chen Hai, revealing a cold snort, looked at An Zhe and said, "Chen Aiqing did agree just now, and I naturally agreed." ”
"Your Majesty, no!"
"Your Majesty think twice!" When some officials heard this, they were frightened and hurriedly persuaded that this was no joke!
Everyone in the square was also shocked. Everyone in the imperial envoy who had originally lowered their heads suddenly raised their heads, their faces showing astonishment, and even more ecstatic.
Could it be that this young emperor wants to save face! If they succeed in pitting the Dayu Dynasty, they won't lose if they go back!
Li Heng frowned slightly, looked up at Li Yao, and saw what he wanted to do?
"Really?" An Zhe's eyes widened, revealing a look of ecstasy. Li Yao glanced at Li Heng below, and said coldly to the ecstatic An Zhe: "I can agree to your request, but I have one condition!" ”
"We promise!" An Zhe's voice was excited. When Baiguan heard that Li Yao had conditions, he also closed his mouth, and his face was still very anxious.
"It's okay for me to give you food, but you need to send an ordinary person to divide the food and count the food, when you count enough, when you leave, and we will no longer be responsible for all your accommodation and transportation in Kyoto!" Li Yao's words reached everyone's ears, and in an instant, everyone quieted down.
The anxious faces of the officials of the imperial court changed, their eyes brightened, and their expressions became more and more exciting. Some old officials smiled and stroked their beards, looking at Li Yao, Your Majesty has a wonderful idea!
An Zhe's ecstatic expression froze, and the eyes of the envoys shrank.
"Your Majesty is still Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" Everyone in the audience also reacted, and looked at the envoys happily one by one.
That's right, you count by yourself, when you have enough to count before you go back, you are responsible for all food and shelter, see how good you are!
The expression on Li Heng's face remained unchanged, but he sighed in his heart, and a touch of surprise appeared in his eyes, this method was really thought up by Li Yao?
Is it Lin Xiang or Lu Xun? Li Heng glanced at Lin Xiang and Lu Xun, who had been silent. This question was passed on to Li Heng by Liu Jin last night, and Liu Jin didn't say anything about Li Yuan.
Therefore, Li Heng didn't know that when Li Yao was discussing the problem of the mission, Li Yuan was also present. Lin Shufan's eyes were flat, he glanced up at Li Yao, and finally looked at Lu Xun.
Lu Xun's face was a little gloomy. There weren't many people who learned about this question yesterday, and I went straight to the palace for the sake of secrecy.
Looking at King Heng's expression, he obviously already knew this question. So who leaked the secrets? Lu Xun identified a person in an instant.
Well? Li Yuan immediately sensed that someone was looking at him, and looked over with his feelings, just in time to see Lu Xun close his eyes.
What does Lu Xun do with himself? When Li Yuan was puzzled, when he turned his head to meet Li Heng's kind smile, his heart suddenly burst.
This Lu Xun won't suspect that I told Li Heng, right? Li Yuan thought about it in his mind, and gasped, he seemed to really have this possibility, and he was the most suspicious.
When he left the palace on his front foot, Li Heng went to his palace, and in their hearts, he was about to be declared the governor of Huanzhou, and he was definitely unhappy in his heart, and he might leak the news.
Bang me! Am I taking the blame for Liu Jin?
"It seems that I underestimated the Dayu Dynasty, and our Mead Dynasty mission admits defeat." Young Mead sighed and said in a dejected tone.
"Our Wuyue Dynasty admits defeat."
"Our Nanhao Dynasty admits defeat!"
"Our Xiban Dynasty admits defeat!" ………………
"The Rohe dynasty admits defeat!" Fourteen dynastic missions successively conceded defeat and surrendered. Only An Zhe's mouth trembled slightly, and he whispered shamelessly.
……………… The mission of the Fourteenth Dynasty left Kyoto in disgrace. And today's twists and turns have also detonated the whole of Kyoto, making the people of Kyoto uproar.
First of all, the dynasty envoy took the initiative to recognize and deliberately put forward a trap condition for the Dayu Dynasty to agree. Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness King Heng was extremely clever and saw through their tricks.
And His Majesty even single-handedly drew salaries, putting them in a dilemma, and he took the initiative to give up the conditions.
Seeing the departure of the dynasty mission, the people of Kyoto were both excited and pity, after all, there are not many such imperial and dynastic challenge events, and the whole Kyoto can be lively because of the competition these days.
The Chu Pavilion of the Qinglou in Beijing is almost full, and everyone is discussing the competition every day. A Qing, Lu Junyi, Zhu Yang, etc., let the people talk about it, and they are not bored.
……………………
"Be strong, you have also followed this king from Kyoto to Lingzhou, you are the most trusted old man of this king." In the palace of the king of Chu, in the shade under a big tree, Li Yuan sat at a small table, the sun fell through the leaves of the mottled light and shadow, bringing a trace of warmth, the breeze blew, and from time to time green leaves fell.
Fan Jianqiang stood respectfully in front of Li Yuan, and Xiao Yezi was also on the side. Except for the maids and guards who have been staying in Kyoto Prefecture, there are only three of them left in the entire palace.
"It is the honor of the last general to follow His Highness!" Fan's strong and resolute face was full of respect.
His mood was the same as his current expression, full of respect for Li Yuan. He was only in charge of the commander of 500 cavalry in the palace before, but now he has become a confidant general under the command of the king of Chu, the capital of Zhongrong Mansion, and the captain of the city of Zhongrong Mansion, in charge of 60,000 soldiers and horses.
Now Zhongrong Capital City is the central city of Lingzhou, and being able to become the Governor of Capital City shows how much His Royal Highness trusts him.
He knew better that His Highness didn't know where to subdue the fierce generals who were all more powerful than him, General Yuwen, General Zhongli, General Ma Chao, General Xu Chu, etc., as well as some good generals such as Fang Shiyuan and Li Jingqiong, it stands to reason that it would not be his turn to do this position, but His Royal Highness still reused him, how could Fan Jianqiang not be grateful in his heart.
"Yesterday, the Fan family brothers and sisters who have recently become famous in Kyoto came to you?" Li Yuan looked at Fan Jianqiang, who looked honest, and showed a touch of surprise.
The brothers and sisters of the Fan family are looking for Fan Jianqiang, they are all surnamed Fan, and Li Yuan can't be allowed to think too much. In addition, Kyoto is also half of Li Yuan's family, and Li Yuan also knows what Li Heng and Li Yao found.
I didn't expect to check it, and I found it on my head. Fan Jianqiang turned out to be a member of the Fan family, a hidden family in Zhongzhou.
"Your Highness, the last general and the Fan family only have a thin blood relationship on their bodies, and they have nothing to do with the rest." Fan Jianqiang raised his head and said calmly.
"Why don't you tell this king about your relationship with the Fan family?" Li Yuan showed a hint of curiosity, the illegitimate son of the fourth master of the Fan family can be regarded as the same generation as Fan Peng.
Li Yuan has no doubts about Fan Jianqiang's identity, after all, Fan Jianqiang can be a commander of the Kyoto Imperial Guard, and his identity can be regarded as innocent.
"It's Your Highness, I was born in Kyoto, my mother is a rich daughter in Kyoto............" The breeze blew, the leaves were rustling, Fan Jianqiang told his life experience, a little bloody, but not completely bloody.
Li Yuan listened quietly. An accidental outing, Fan Jianqiang's mother met the suave Fan family fourth master, they quickly fell in love, but Fan Jianqiang's mother learned the identity of the Fan family's fourth master, unwilling to return to the Fan family as his seventh concubine, so she separated from the Fan family's fourth master, she took the one-year-old Fan Jianqiang back to her own home, and she was not bullied in the family, and Fan Jianqiang's mother got a high-level exercise from the fourth master of the Fan family, so that the family also went to the next level.
Then when Fan Jianqiang was three years old, Fan Jianqiang's mother married another large family and had two younger siblings.
Therefore, Fan Jianqiang's position in both families was very awkward, which led to his indifference to the feelings of his relatives, and later joined the imperial guard.
"What are the three brothers and sisters of the Fan family looking for you?"
"They hope that I can go back to the Fan family once, after all, I still have the blood of the Fan family in my body, and they will also help me break through the Heavenly Martial Realm." Fan Jianqiang said honestly, when it came to breaking through the Heavenly Martial Realm, his eyes fluctuated a little.
As an old man beside Li Yuan, he is still at the peak of the grandmaster, and now none of the generals under His Royal Highness who are guarding the various provinces have not broken through the Tianwu Realm, and even Nangong Xiyue has already broken through the Tianwu Realm.
"And what do you think?" Li Yuan was not surprised, the Fan family was in a state of seclusion before, and it didn't matter whether Fan Jianqiang was dead or alive, but now that the Fan family was born, the purpose of sending the three brothers and sisters of the Fan family to Kyoto was obvious, and Fan Jianqiang was his Li Yuan's person, and the Fan family naturally wanted to fight for Fan Jianqiang.
"I have nothing to do with the Fan family!" Fan Jianqiang said firmly.
"You can break through the Heavenly Martial Realm!" Li Yuan looked at Fan Jianqiang thoughtfully, he could feel the sense of urgency in Fan Jianqiang's heart, indeed, after all, the people around him were too terrifying, they all broke through the Tianwu Realm one by one, and he had not broken through for a long time.
But he didn't want to think about who those outstanding fierce generals in the Chu Palace, Yuwen Chengdu, Zhong Liwu, Ma Chao, Xu Chu and others, these people had already experienced a hundred battles in their previous lives, and in this life, they could get the exercises that the roulette wheel helped them match to cultivate, so they naturally advanced all the way, and even the slightly weaker Fang Shiyuan was one of the five masters of Kyoto.
Fan Jianqiang is just an ordinary genius, it is difficult to compare, and it is normal that he can't break through the Heavenly Martial Realm in three or five or even ten years.
"Be strong, your bloodline is destined to make your connection with the Fan family difficult to escape, this king is not boasting, with Gu's current identity, they will definitely find ways to let you return to the Fan family."
"I, Fan Jianqiang, have no two hearts for His Highness, and I swear allegiance to His Highness!" Fan Jianqiang half-knelt and saluted, and said resolutely with a resolute face.
"You get up first, Lone knows your heart, so Lone is at ease with you. The Fan family is not necessarily an enemy to Lone, if you can go back to the Fan family, they will give you resources Suddenly Tianwu Realm, Lone can't ask for it. I guess you want to see the father you have never met, don't you have anything to say to him? Li Yuan smiled, and a faint confidence was revealed.
