Before coming, the Regent specially explained that he must meet any requirements put forward by Emperor Yan. Only in this way can he relax his vigilance and their people who climb the stairs in the dark can fish in the muddy water.
Thinking of this, he stepped forward, "Your Majesty, as an envoy of the Northern Kingdom, my lower minister holds the decree of Regent Wang Yi. All the subjects of the northern kingdom are very grateful to your majesty for his compassion, and I will accept the decree on behalf of the prince!"
As soon as the voice fell, the whole dynasty was surprised.
There have been rumors before that the emperor of the Northern Kingdom has long existed in name only. Even if the prince returns to succeed to the throne, he is also a puppet. Now they see with their own eyes that a wedding envoy doesn't pay attention to the prince, and they believe another third.
An emissary can use the name of the regent to show off the power and prestige of the prince. It seems that the prince of the northern kingdom is exhausted.
Yan Dihu's eyes were dignified. He glanced at his Highness's Gongsun Li for a few eyes and turned to the prince of the north country, "what does Aiqing think?"
I saw the prince of the Northern Kingdom worship Emperor Yan twice, "minister, thank your majesty for your kindness."
That's an agreement.
Emperor Yan was in a good mood. "Good, very good. Come and pass on the instructions of the imperial eunuch. Be sure to choose a auspicious day for the prince of the northern kingdom to greet the wedding!"
——
In the early Dynasty, Gongsun Li didn't go back to the post house, but came to the prime minister's residence in Zhuque street.
Yunxian had passed the first seven days, and the white wreaths and elegiac couplets had been taken back. Nuo Da's courtyard was clean, and the servant girls and servants came and went, and everything had not changed.
"This way, please." Gongsun Li reported to himself and took a famous post. The guard of the cloud house saw that he was a distinguished guest and invited him inside very respectfully.
Walking through the hand copying corridor, Gongsun Li saw yun'anzhi sitting in the flower hall drinking tea leisurely in the imperial dress he had just seen in the morning.
Although he heard that yun'an's son died, he didn't see where he was sad. He was hale and hearty and looked better than ordinary people.
"I've seen the prime minister." Gongsun Li is a Jianghu man. Naturally, he will not treat yun'an with gentry's courtesy. His other identity is the envoy of the northern kingdom. When facing yun'an, he just bends down slightly.
Yun'an's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he was slightly dissatisfied, but he still didn't show it. Well, he said, looking a little lack of interest, "sit down."
"I have something to deal with. Please make a long story short." The implication is obvious. If you have something to say, just go away.
Gongsun Li shook his folding fan. Although he was in the north, he didn't know the truth of doing as the Romans do. He was still dressed in flamboyant red clothes and his youth was extremely dazzling.
"Prime minister, I really have something urgent. This matter is very important. Can you hold back?"
Yun'anzhi waved his hand, and all the servant girls standing on the side stepped down. When they were in the flower hall, there were only two of them.
Although Yun Anzhi knew that he was nominally an envoy of the Northern Kingdom, he actually knew that the man in red was not as simple as he looked on the surface. He should have some skills to reassure Hao Lianchen.
"I've heard the prime minister's name for a long time. Today, when I see the prime minister's demeanor, I deserve my reputation. I'm coming today to make friends with the prime minister." Yun'anzhi took out a stack of silver notes from his sleeve and gently pushed them in front of yun'anzhi.
A thick stack of silver tickets, all of which are "Tonghui bank" silver tickets. The difference is that the line above is gold!
The currency of Dayan state, silver with silver thread, gold with gold thread, that thick stack, at least 50 pieces!
In other words, the man in red is 500000 taels of gold!
Yun'an's swollen pouch shook gently, his face changed, and he shouted, "presumptuous! You dare to bribe Prime Minister Dayan, young master. I'm afraid you don't want your crown prince to return home? "
His face was sullen and angry.
In the face of his harsh scolding, Gongsun Li was not afraid at all. He directly sat down on the next chair with an elegant and indifferent attitude, "prime minister, calm down. Next Gongsun Li, this silver is just a little thought of our Regent. The Regent cares about the crown prince and heard that the crown prince is weak, so he sent us to protect him. We don't need the prime minister to do anything else, We just want to arrange some of our own people to take care of each other among the bodyguards escorting the prince. "
He said it very lightly, but yun'anzhi was such a clever man that he had long heard the fishiness.
Now the emperor of the Northern Kingdom exists in name only, and the person in power is the Regent Hao Lianchen. This time, the Regent should take the lead in taking the crown prince home.
But he's good! Not only did he not come, but he also sent such a strange person. At that time, even if the crown prince of the northern kingdom had an accident, it would become a major event between Yan and the northern kingdom. It had nothing to do with himself. The Regent left himself completely!
It's really a good trick to kill two birds with one stone!
"Don't worry, Prime Minister. It's just a deposit. After it's done, another 500000 taels of gold will be sent to your house." Gongsun lichai was generous and ignored yun'anzhi's refusal, "I'll leave first."
He turned and left without saying a word.
Yun'anzhi looked at the thick stack of silver tickets on the table. His thumb gently touched the table. He called the attendant, "prepare the horse, I want to enter the palace!"
……
Emperor Yan looked at a stack of thick silver tickets placed in front of the jade case with unpredictable eyes.
He looked down at Yun Anzhi, who stood upright in front of the hall. It took a long time to say, "people have been dismissed by me. What do Yun Aiqing think should be done about this?"
On the table were the silver tickets Gongsun Li had brought to show his kindness. At the moment, these silver tickets were placed in front of Emperor Yan.
"Your Majesty, this matter is of great concern. The heart of the Regent of the Northern Kingdom, the tiger and wolf, is clear. We must not be fooled!" Yun'an's words were extremely anxious.
Emperor Yan felt a little strange in his eyes. "I remember that you strongly agreed that you could mobilize troops to attack the northern kingdom. Just as the envoys of the northern kingdom were concerned, you arranged their people in the escort team. When the prince was out of the border of the state of Yan, whether the prince was dead or alive had nothing to do with Da Yan. Why did you object?"
Yun'an seems to have known that Emperor Yan would say so. He urgently explained, "Your Majesty is holy and wise. It is indeed right for your minister to advocate the use of force. But the premise is that under the weak situation of the north, Hao Lianchen is in power now. He is the God of war known to women and children in the whole mainland. If we give him a reason to start first, won't we miss the opportunity in vain?"
