Chapter 10: Drag into the water

Zhou Wenlong got up from the ground and followed the emperor into the palace.

But the ministers were indignant:

"What is Wenlong's ability this week, he won a competition, and he was named the prince."

"That is, we, the generals, have never been crowned kings in the bloody field."

"The old minister has worked hard for half his life, for the country and the people, but he is just a second-grade Shangshu, I am not convinced."

Prime Minister Li Pu said with a smile, "Everyone, since the King of Bohai has the ability to pass through the heavens and latitudes, in my opinion, it is better to ......." ”

As soon as his words came out, all the ministers stretched out their thumbs, "The prime minister's words are very reasonable, admire and admire." ”

"I want to see what else this time, the fool of the Bohai Sea King can have any other tricks."

Everyone laughed together and entered the palace.

At noon, inside the Daqing Palace.

Zhou Wenlong sat at the table closest to the emperor.

"As long as the Emperor of Yan can fulfill his promise and return those three cities to the Great Song Dynasty." The emperor said excitedly, "Then outside Longyang Pass, the seven cities can rely on each other, and become the strongest fortress of my Great Song Dynasty against the Yan Kingdom." ”

"King Bohai, I salute you."

Seeing this, Zhou Wenlong hurriedly stood up, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

At this moment, the prime minister on the side suddenly said, "The emperor has regained the three cities, congratulations." ”

"However, Weichen has a concern, he doesn't vomit or be unhappy in his heart, and he hopes that the emperor will let the ministers play."

Zhou Wenlong's pupils shrank, and he thought to himself, what does this old man mean?

I haven't finished drinking this glass of wine yet, could it be that he wants to tear down the stage?

"Say it." The emperor put down his wine glass and said with a smile.

Li Pu squinted at Zhou Wenlong, "Long live Emperor Qiqi, it stands to reason that those three cities should be returned to us." ”

"However, if the Emperor of Yan denies it, what should it do?"

In a word, it was like pouring a basin of cold water, which suddenly made the emperor sober up.

That's not bad.

If the Emperor of Yan just doesn't return it, what can he do?

In terms of military strength, the Great Song Dynasty is far inferior to the Great Yan.

Otherwise, troops would have been sent to loot back the three lost cities.

"According to Aiqing's opinion, what should I do?" The Emperor asked.

Li Pu said with a smile, "The minister Bao played alone, and went to Yan Country to ask for three cities, and he must be able to achieve his wish." ”

"Who's Bao Song?" The Emperor asked.

Zhou Wenlong chuckled in his heart and secretly screamed that it was not good.

Sure enough, Prime Minister Li Pu looked at Zhou Wenlong with a wicked smile, "Your Majesty, according to the old minister's opinion, this matter is not competent for the King of Bohai." ”

No way!

This old bastard really let himself go.

Zhou Wenlong scolded in his heart.

Does Lao Tzu have a grudge against you?

Why can't you get along with me!

"Your Majesty, Weichen was stupid and stupid when he was young, and since he married the princess, he has only opened his mind in the past two days." Zhou Wenlong arched his hand, "I'm afraid I can't do it." ”

Good guy, I just offended the princess of Yan Kingdom.

Let yourself be sent to Yan Kingdom now, isn't this stuffing a piece of meat into the tiger's mouth?

Once you go, it must be a meat bun beating a dog, and you can't turn back.

So, can't go, absolutely can't go!

Seeing this, Admiral Hu Yanping hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, this commander thinks that this matter is not competent for the King of Bohai." ”

"In the past few days alone, the wisdom shown by the King of Bohai is far superior to that of us a hundred times."

"King Bohai, please come in and don't be too modest."

As soon as his words came out, several Shangshu suddenly stood up and seconded the proposal.

Immediately afterwards, all the ministers knelt on the ground and asked Zhou Wenlong to envoy Yan Guo.

Zhou Wenlong fell to his knees.

said with a bitter face, "Your Majesty, you can't do it." ”

"Xiao Wang has never been an envoy."

"If something goes wrong, wouldn't it be an insult to the Great Song Dynasty, wouldn't it be a shame on the emperor?"

"Xiao Wang thinks that it is more appropriate for the emperor to choose another virtuous minister."

The emperor looked at Zhou Wenlong with a smile, "Aiqing, don't shirk it." ”

"I will send one, an experienced person, to assist you in the envoy to the Yan Kingdom."

Zhou Wenlong's eyes rolled.

I thought to myself, it seems that this errand is absolutely impossible to refuse.

Since the damn prime minister came up with a ghost idea, I'll drag you into the water.

In case you arrive in the Yan Kingdom, the princess wants her own life, and Lao Tzu will slaughter you first!

With his mind already decided, he immediately arched his hand, "Emperor Qi, since I have been crowned the prince, and I am the one who will go with me to the Yan Kingdom, my status naturally cannot be too low." ”

When the emperor heard this, he nodded slightly, "This is not bad. ”

"In the Hanlin Academy, there are many talented people, you can choose by yourself."

Zhou Wenlong smiled slightly, "The people of the Hanlin Academy want to choose." ”

"However, I would also like to invite a highly respected person to accompany me on the mission."

Speaking of this, his eyes looked at Prime Minister Li Pu.

Lip shuddered.

If it's an ordinary mission, I'll go by myself.

However, this mission is to find Yan Guo to ask for a city.

That Yan Guo will not give it 100%.

If you don't do it, you have to throw your life away in Yan Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, what the King of Bohai said is true." Li Pu arched his hand, "The old minister recommended Liu Zhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he can be an important task." ”

Liu Zhong suddenly had a black line, and scolded in his heart, you are going to frame the King of Bohai, what is the matter with Lao Tzu!

He was just about to speak, Zhou Wenlong laughed, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, this matter is not trivial. ”

"Although Liu Zhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has both ability and political integrity, his ability is still poor."

Hearing this, the emperor nodded, "In your opinion, who can assist you?" ”

"It has to be Prime Minister Li Pu." Zhou Wenlong said.

"Your Majesty, please think twice." Li Pu said hurriedly, "The old minister is busy with official business, but I'm afraid I won't be able to get out." ”

Zhou Wenlong stood up suddenly, pointed at Li Pu and scolded, "Li Pu, you are so bold!" ”

"Those three cities are very important to my Great Song Dynasty, and they are related to the safety of my Great Song Dynasty."

"What is the reason for your repeated excuses?"

Lip's face changed suddenly.

I secretly regretted it in my heart.

Why did I say that more just now, I want Zhou Wenlong to envoy Yan Guo.

Now, I'm getting myself in.

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister takes the order." Li Pu wanted to cry without tears.

The emperor smiled, "Since this is the case, then the King of Bohai is the main one, and Li Pu is the auxiliary." ”

"The two of you will rest and prepare for a few days, and then you will send an envoy to Yan Kingdom."

Although Li Pu was dragged into the water, Zhou Wenlong was not happy in his heart.

This trip is more than lucky.

Lao Tzu, a colt, will definitely be played to death by this group of bastards.

He cried and fell to his knees, "Minister, take the order." ”

After leaving the palace, return home.

Zhou Wenlong thought to himself that since it was a foregone conclusion to send an envoy to Yan Kingdom, he naturally had to prepare early.

lest when the decree comes down and you are caught off guard.

But what should we prepare?
