Chapter 216: Tai Hao Sends Envoy to Tubo Country
Early the next morning, under the light of the morning sun, Taihao and Prince Xuanbao were about to lead a hundred guards and maids and thirty carriages to Tibet. This important mission is not only about the honor of the Eastern Empire, but also about the friendship and trust between the two countries. On this occasion, the two prime ministers, Liang Yu and Zhengqi, lined up outside the door to see them off, showing their loyalty and respect.
Outside the door, a long team of horses lined up solemnly, each horse looking mighty and powerful. The guards wore gold armor and swords at their waists, with a look of fortitude and loyalty. The ladies wore beautiful dresses and held feather fans, and the smiles on their faces showed the friendliness and sincerity of the Eastern Empire. Thirty carriages glittered in the sun, each loaded with the sincerity and friendship of the Eastern Empire.
The two prime ministers, Liang Yu and Zhengqi, stood at the front, wearing court clothes, smiling, and looking into the distance, as if wishing Taihao and Prince Xuanbao a smooth trip. They knew the importance of this mission, so their eyes were full of respect, which was their love and trust for Taihao and Prince Xuanbao. Their perseverance and courage were also incomparable, because they knew they had a great responsibility to ensure the success of this mission.
With the appearance of Taihao and Prince Xuanbao in everyone's sight, the two prime ministers Liang Yu and Zhengqi immediately looked solemn, and they walked forward to pay tribute to Taihao and Prince Xuanbao with the highest courtesy. Their actions aroused the admiration of all the officials present, which was the respect for Taihao and the crown prince Xuanbao, as well as the loyalty to the Eastern Empire.
At the moment when the horse team started, the two prime ministers, Liang Yu and Zhengqi, once again expressed their respect and blessings to Taihao and Prince Xuanbao. Their eyes were full of anticipation, because they knew the importance of this mission for the friendship and trust between the two countries. They believed that Tai Hao and Prince Xuanbao would definitely live up to expectations and successfully complete this mission.
At this solemn moment, all the officials watched Tai Hao and Prince Xuanbao and their team drift away. The two prime ministers, Liang Yu and Zhengqi, stood there, their eyes full of firmness and conviction, as if to tell the world that the strength and cultural charm of the Eastern Empire will always shine in the world.
They walked unhurriedly for about five miles with the mission, and suddenly they were confronted by a small tea stall, and next to the tea stall, an old man was sitting quietly, it was Mr. Yan Fang. His eyes were as calm as water, as if he had long since transcended the hustle and bustle of this earthly world, and waited until their line of work arrived.
As they approached, Mr. Yan Fang was overjoyed when he saw them, and hurriedly stood up and got on his horse. His movements are vigorous and flexible, and he is not lost to any young junior. He smiled at them, and that kind smile made people feel inexplicably reassured.
Tai Hao looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but be surprised, he asked suspiciously, "Mr. Yanfang, why did you set off early?" His voice was visibly surprised and confused, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
When Mr. Yanfang heard this, he just smiled and did not answer immediately. He just urged the others to move on, while occasionally scanning his surroundings with that deep gaze, as if searching for something. And his silence and smile became the most mysterious part of this scene, which made Taihao can't help but be full of awe and curiosity about him.
Mr. Yanfang and Tai Hao rode their horses side by side, galloping across the vast land. Their backs were as tall as pines, and under the vigorous hooves of the horses, a cloud of dust and smoke was raised. The sun shone on their armor, shining with a dazzling brilliance. It seems that the heroism of the world is condensed in them.
At the front of the queue, Mr. Yan Fang and Tai Hao were like two bright rays of light, leading the team forward. Their horses were in high spirits, as if they were divine beasts galloping from the sky. Every time the horse's hooves fall, there is a resoluteness and firmness, as if telling their loyalty and bravery.
At the rear of the procession, a splendid carriage moved slowly. The curtain of the carriage was ajar, and the prince Xuanbao sitting inside was faintly visible. He sat there with peace of mind, with a sense of serenity and majesty. The breeze blew, and the curtain was lifted, revealing the smiling face of Prince Xuanbao. His eyes were full of leisurely contentment, as if the troubles of this world had nothing to do with him. The carriage carried the comfort and ease of Prince Xuanbao, leaving a unique scenery in this vast land.
Mr. Yanfang, his weather-beaten face showed a hint of desolation. As he spoke, he let out a long sigh. This sigh is like the waves rolled up by the river of years, with both the sadness of the past and the uncertainty of the future. His voice was hoarse, like an ancient plank that had weathered the wind and rain, creaking in the wind and rain of the years.
He met Taihao's gaze, which flickered like a lonely beacon in the mist. Although he was asked about yesterday's trip, Mr. Noonkata's tone seemed to be exploring deeper secrets. He asked, "Lord Taihao, did you go to the Yuxiang Hall yesterday?" His voice was as ethereal as smoke, as if with a hint of indescribable meaning.
Hearing Mr. Yanfang's words, Taihao was like being struck by lightning, and his whole body was shocked. He felt a storm in his heart, and he couldn't help but wonder who had leaked the secret. If Mr. Yan Fang has learned about this, does it mean that the emperor has also seen all this?
Taihao's suspicions grew thicker, and he tried his best to suppress his emotions so as not to reveal flaws. His eyes trembled slightly, and he glanced at Mr. Yan Fang, and then lowered his eyes again, hiding the fluctuations in his heart. However, there was chaos in his mind, and all kinds of possibilities flew like sparrows, and he couldn't calm down.
He pondered all kinds of possibilities in his heart, who revealed the news to Mr. Yan Fang? Was it negligence on the part of his attendants, or did someone close to him betray him for some purpose? Or did the emperor personally intervene in this matter and deliberately test his reaction? These many possibilities make Taihao feel like sitting on pins and needles, worried.
Taihao was worried and scared in his heart, but he still remained calm on the surface. He took a deep breath to calm the panic inside. He understands that caution must be exercised at this moment to avoid falling into a deeper crisis. However, this incident was like a boulder in his chest to him, weighing him down.
While he was thinking about countermeasures, he couldn't help but secretly observe Mr. Yanfang's expression with his spare eyes. He tried to read something from the other party's expression, but Mr. Yanfang's face was like a stone sculpture, and he did not reveal any emotion. This made Taihao feel more and more frightened, and he couldn't figure out what the other party really thought.
At this point, Taihao can only wait and see what happens. He tried to keep himself calm and wait for what was going to happen next. And the doubts and fears in his heart became heavier and heavier like a haze, making his heart heavier and heavier.
At this moment, Taihao felt as if he was in a thick fog, unable to see the road ahead. And the only thing he can do is to bite the bullet and move on. Taihao knew in his heart that no matter what happened next, he had to stay sober and determined in order to cope with the ensuing storm.
However, for this sudden blow, Taihao's heart was full of endless pressure and trouble. His heart raced, and his thoughts raced. All kinds of complex emotions are intertwined, and he can't sort out his own clues.
Just as Taihao fell into deep doubt and fear, Mr. Yanfang's voice sounded again. His words were like a bolt of lightning that pierced Taihao's musings. And his next words undoubtedly brought more shock and worry to Tai Hao......
Mr. Yanfang's words, like a mist in the morning light, gradually spread in Lord Taihao's heart. Although his words were soft, they were like endless waves, impacting Lord Taihao's heart.
"Lord Taihao, you really caused a big disaster." Mr. Yan Fang shook his head, and the heavy sigh seemed to carry endless helplessness and regret.
"The emperor was supposed to see you off in person today, but when he learned that you had entered the Yuxiang Hall without permission, he suddenly canceled the trip to see you off." Mr. Yanfang's words were marked with obvious regret, and the regret in his tone made Lord Taihao's heart tense.
"You know what? The official entered the harem without permission, and this was to be killed. Although the emperor let you go this time, it will be difficult to say in the future. Mr. Yanfang's tone gradually became serious, and the cold eyes made Taihao's heart can't help but feel a chill.
"In the future? What will happen in the future? Lord Taihao couldn't help but feel a trace of panic in his heart, as if he saw that his future was full of unknowns and dangers.
"I don't know about that." Mr. Yanfang's understated words were like sharp blades, piercing deep into Lord Taihao's heart. He felt that his heart had been enveloped by endless fear, as if the unknown future had become his inner demon, constantly eroding his heart.
Tai Hao explained: "But I was deceived, and I didn't take the initiative to go." ”
Mr. Yanfang let out a long sigh, his brow filled with worry and helplessness. He said in a low voice: "The emperor's trust in Lord Taihao is indeed known to the world. However, the ministers in the court will not be willing to trust Lord Taihao because of the emperor's trust. ”
His tone was full of bitterness, but also with a deep helplessness. Mr. Yanfang knows that the truth of Taihao's framing, even if he has the emperor's trust, it is difficult to easily wash away those impressions that have long been ingrained in the hearts of officials.
"The old man understands this truth, and he also knows that Lord Taihao was framed, but the fact is that Lord Taihao did jump into that trap himself." His words revealed a deep regret, as if there was an indescribable pain in his heart, "like a righteous man who knew that there was danger ahead, but still walked in without hesitation." Who can believe that he was framed for such behavior? ”
Tai Hao hurriedly asked Mr. Yan Fang, "Mr. Yan Fang, you have always been resourceful, can you tell me how to make up for this mistake?" ”
Mr. Yanfang slowly raised his head and looked up at the vast blue sky through the gaps in the towering trees. There was a thoughtful glint in his eyes. Suddenly, his lips opened slightly, and he said: "It seems to be just a trivial matter, but the scale of this change is so large that even the old man feels helpless. Lord Taihao, the situation is changing, the general trend is coming, everything is irretrievable......"
Tai Hao lowered his head, feeling an inexplicable panic in his heart. Mr. Yanfang's words were like shooting stars in the night, although they were short, they burned extremely brightly. He didn't know what the consequences of his mistakes would be, but he knew that there were things that once they happened, they could never be remedied.
