On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the Yue delegation entered Beijing.

Ji Xuan and King Cheng led the civil and military officials to hold a grand welcome ceremony in the Welcome Pavilion.

There were a total of ten people in the Yue Clan's mission, including Yue Bai, the young master of the Yue Clan, Yue Kun, the elder of the Yue Clan, and eight guards.

Except for the eight guards who still covered their faces in black robes, Yue Bai and Yue Kun took off their black robes and changed into regular clothes.

Yue Baisheng is white and pure, with a delicate face, like a weak scholar, which is not at all the image of Yue's in people's impressions.

In fact, these Great Wei officials have never seen the Yue people, but in their impression, the Yue people should not be like this, and the young master of the Yue family should not be like this.

The Ministry of Rites is still very attentive to this welcome ceremony, with delicious dishes and wine, and singing and dancing performances showing the style of a great country.

Since the person in charge of this reception was Ji Xuan, he sat next to Yue Bai, and King Cheng sat with Yue Kun.

Yue vernacular is very little, and there is very little food to eat, just staring at the singing and dancing in the audience with a smile, and drinking from time to time with a wine glass.

As the master, Ji Xuan has a lot of courtesy to Yue Bai, but he is also very measured, and he will not deliberately get close to Yue Bai.

So the two of them seem very lonely here.

Cheng Wang and Yue Kun, who were sitting opposite them, seemed to be much more lively, the two were very cordial while drinking, talking and laughing, and rarely watched the singing and dancing off the field.

After the dinner, Ji Xuan personally sent the Yue delegation to the Royal Post House.

When they parted, the corners of Yue Bai's mouth raised slightly, and he said to Ji Xuan: "What are the arrangements for His Royal Highness King Qi tomorrow?"

Ji Xuan said with a smile: "It is extremely rare for the young master to come to the capital, this king naturally wants to take the young master to see everywhere, enjoy the scenery of Kyoto, and the detailed arrangements will be sent to the post house later." ”

Yue Bai said: "I'm used to being alone, I don't like a lot of people, if Your Highness doesn't mind, tomorrow only you and I will visit this Kyoto City together." ”

Hearing his words, Yue Kun on the side frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Ji Xuan smiled and said, "As long as the young master is willing, this king should accompany him." ”

Yue Bai nodded and said, "See you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow!"

After the two saluted each other, Ji Xuan left the inn.

"We came out of the capital, we are not familiar with the place, you are the young master of our Yue clan, it will be very dangerous to go out with him alone in this way. ”

Yue Kun sent Yue Bai to the room and asked with a worried face.

Yue Bai looked at Yue Kun and said with a smile: "If you don't get along with him alone, how do you know what kind of person he is?"

Yue Kun was a little curious, and said, "What kind of person is he, what does it have to do with us?"

Yue Bai said: "He is the king of Qi who received us this time in the imperial court, of course I want to know who he is." ”

Yue Kun said: "He is only responsible for receiving us, and he doesn't need to have deep contact. ”

Yue Bai smiled and said, "Fifth Uncle is not right. ”

Yue Kun was puzzled and said, "What's wrong?"

Yue Bai looked at him and said, "King Qi is very likely to be the future emperor of Great Wei, didn't the fifth uncle see it?"

Yue Kun smiled and said, "How can he be the future emperor? ”

Yue Bai also smiled and said, "It seems that the fifth uncle is very optimistic about becoming the king." ”

Yue Kun said: "King Cheng has participated in court politics for many years, has a deep foundation in the court, and is deeply supported by hundreds of officials, and the emperor seems to love him very much. ”

Yue Bai said: "Father thinks so too?"

Yue Kun said: "What does the eldest brother think, you can ask the eldest brother." ”

Yue Bai said: "Can the fifth uncle tell me the true purpose of this trip?"

Yue Kun said: "Didn't the eldest brother tell you?"

Yue Bai smiled slightly and said, "No." ”

Yue Kun said: "Since the eldest brother didn't tell you, I can't tell you." ”

Yue Bai said: "Is it meaningful for you to hide it from me like this?"

Yue Kun said: "You are still young now, and it is not good to know more." ”

Yue Bai shook his head, didn't make a sound, then walked to the side of the bed, jumped over, and lay down on the bed.

Seeing this, Yue Kun had no choice but to leave.

The night was fine, and the next day before dawn, snowflakes began to fall in the sky. By the time the hour came, the sky was bright, and the ground was covered with a thin layer of snow.

Due to the snow, there are few pedestrians on the streets. There is a string of horseshoe prints from the palace of the king of Qi to the royal post house.

Ji Xuan rode to the post house alone, Yue Bai seemed to know that he was coming, and stood at the door of the post house waiting for him.

Seeing Ji Xuan coming in the snow, Yue Bai smiled slightly and said, "It's snowing, it's not suitable to travel, Your Highness can send someone to inform you." ”

Ji Xuan said: "I made an appointment with the young master last night, so I should come over in person no matter what." ”

Yue Bai said: "This is the first time I have seen snow, if Your Highness is not afraid of the cold, can you accompany me to enjoy the snow." ”

Ji Xuan said: "Naturally, I am willing." There is a plum garden in my house, although it is not in full bloom at this time, but it can also be seen its wind bones, I don't know if the young master is willing to go. ”

Yue Bai said: "Since it is His Royal Highness's mansion, and there are cold plums to be rewarded, how can you not want to?"

"Please!"

.......

After Yue Bai and Ji Xuan left, King Cheng came to the post house.

"Your Highness, do you know that His Royal Highness the King of Qi has just left with the young master of my family?"

There were only Yue Kun and Cheng Wang in the house, and Yue Kun handed Cheng Wang a cup of hot tea.

King Cheng said: "This king naturally knows." ”

Yue Kun said: "Your Highness is not worried?"

King Cheng smiled and said, "The elder is here, what is this king worried about?"

Yue Kun also smiled and said, "Your Highness is really not worried that the young master of my family will become friends with His Royal Highness King Qi?"

King Cheng said: "How can they be that this king is really not worried, this king is worried about the thoughts of the great toast and the elders." ”

Yue Kun said: "Your Highness is really smart. It's just that what my eldest brother and I think, it depends on what His Highness wants us to think. ”

King Cheng said: "Ji Min didn't have a clear attitude to bring back the big toast, and this king knew that it was the king's gift that failed to make the big toast heartbroken, so this king added some more gifts." ”

Yue Kun said: "What kind of gift is it, Your Highness might as well tell me about it." ”

King Cheng said: "Da Tusi wants to establish himself as a king, as long as this king ascends to the throne, it will not be a problem." ”

Yue Kun said: "I said that His Highness is smart and really not wrong. It's just that the west slope is small, and Da Tusi still wants to borrow some places from Da Wei. ”

King Cheng raised his eyebrows, stared at Yue Kun and said, "It seems that this king still underestimates the appetite of the big toast." ”

Yue Kun smiled: "My eldest brother has always had a great appetite. ”

King Cheng smiled slightly and said, "How is the elder's appetite?"

Yue Kun smiled: "I don't care about my appetite. Doesn't Your Highness want to know what places my eldest brother wants to borrow from Your Highness?"

King Cheng shook his head and said, "Where the Great Tusi wants this king doesn't need to guess, this king now cares about the thoughts of the elders." The elder is also the son of the Great Toast of the previous generation, so he really hasn't been tempted by the position of the Great Toast?"

Yue Kun stared at King Cheng and said coldly, "Your Highness wants to separate our brothers?"

King Cheng shook his head again and said, "Why is this king dividing your brothers? No matter which of you is the great toast, the gift that this king wants to give is the same." The king of the Great Toast has never met and has no friendship. But the elder is different, you and I have known each other for a long time, and we have some friendship, so I said this. If the elders don't have this heart, they will think that the king is talking nonsense, but if they have a heart, the king can help. ”

Yue Kun said: "Your Highness really misses the friendship between you and me, I'm afraid it has another purpose, right?"

King Cheng said: "Don't hide it from the elders, this king does have another purpose, because this king doesn't want to see your current young master become a great toast in the future." ”

Yue Kun wondered, "Is this the truth?"

King Cheng said: "Of course it's true. When Ji Min came back, he had already told the king the attitude of the young master at that time, and after he arrived in the capital, he ignored the king, and he was very close to the king of Qi. Therefore, this king cannot look at such an enemy on the side of the bed. ”

Yue Kun said: "He has been appointed as the young master, and there is no accident that he will be the next big toast, so he ......"

King Cheng said: "So what this king wants is an accident." ”

Yue Kun said: "Even if he has an accident, the position of the big toast will not be my turn, and my eldest brother still has a few sons." ”

King Cheng said: "As long as the elder is willing, this king will let this accident fall on the elder......"

Yue Kun frowned: "How did it fall?"

King Cheng smiled: "The elder has not yet told this king whether he is willing or not, if the elder is willing, this king will naturally tell the plan." ”

Yue Kun also smiled: "Please explain the plan to Your Highness." ”

"Good!"
