Chapter 507

Kneeling in the imperial study, Fengnan in front of fengqingxiao is a little stiff. He didn't expect that the emperor would suddenly ask such a question.

In what capacity did he plead guilty?

It's strange that the imperial edict of minister of rites was sent to him by Nanbu. His official position and the status of envoy of Nanzhao state were enough to represent Nanzhao state and its monarch. What's more, the national documents show that he has royal blood.

For a moment, he was a little stunned and even more nervous. His hand pressed hard on the cold ground, and his mind turned to countless thoughts. What was the meaning of the emperor's words?

Do you think that his status as an envoy of Nanzhao state is not qualified to plead guilty to the emperor?

Or did he think that his official position was low and his qualifications were not enough to represent Nanzhao and its monarch?

He frowned and tried to answer the question, but he opened his mouth without saying a word. Because he didn't know how to answer. Nanzhao had many contacts with the former Emperor, and even got many promises from the former Emperor. This matter can be omitted. After all, it was the former Emperor who was in power, and the Zhou family was called emperor. Nanzhao did not send generals and experts to attack the emperor in Northern Xinjiang.

However, when Zhou Henian went to Nanzhao, he was already in the Zixiao Empire, and the God of war became emperor. Nanzhao actually made friends with the rebellious party, and even accepted many rich promises from Zhou Changming and Zhou Henian. This is tantamount to betraying the Zixiao Empire and not recognizing fengqingxiao as the emperor.

Yao Xian's status, noble and special, appeared in the south, beside Zhou Henian, but also to many generals in the south to help the rebellion of Zhou Changming and Zhou Henian. Even in this case, Yao Xian did not do more, there was only one person. However, he could not escape the accusation of rebellion. Even after that, Yao Xian and the empress meet, it can not be said that they can let go of the past, and the empress also gives many rich promises to Nanzhao.

In the ear, spread to grind the voice of Mo, he can't help but slightly raise a head, looked to the emperor in the past.

However, tie Wei, who had accepted his bribe, was studying ink for the emperor. The emperor was writing something. It seemed that he had forgotten him and asked him questions. Of course, he understood that the emperor did not forget. He just gave him time to wait for his answer.

Fengnan suddenly stood up, straightened his head and clothes, and then went to the middle of the case. He clasped his fist to his brow and saluted fengqingxiao with three bows and nine kowtows: "crime minister, Nanzhao monarch, Yao Annan, long live our emperor, long live our emperor."

Yun zizhao's heart was shocked, and he looked at Yao Annan in amazement. This Nanzhao envoy was the real Nanzhao monarch!

He looked sideways at the emperor. He admired him so much that he understood why the emperor asked that question just now. Obviously, the emperor has already seen that the identity of this Nanzhao envoy is extraordinary. However, he did not expect that Nanzhao monarch, who was so noble, would personally take the risk to come from Nanzhao to Chang'an. Although Nanzhao was a minister to the Zhou royal family, and now he also sent envoys to pay homage to the Zhou royal family, claiming to be a "minister", no Nanzhao monarch ever came to the capital to pay homage to the Central Plains emperor.

After all, in history, Nanzhao state was independent several times, and was no longer a vassal state of the Central Plains, not a subordinate of the Central Plains.

Nanzhao monarch is also the respect of a generation of emperors. It's all right to be a minister. Where would you like to go to Kyoto in person to worship the emperor of the Central Plains and kneel down in public to be a minister yourself!

Feng Qingxiao is also a sword eyebrow. Naturally, he doesn't know Yao Annan, but he is quite unusual. He knows that other people in Nanzhao are extremely respectful to Yao Annan, and his identity must be much more noble than what is written in the national documents. But I didn't expect that Nanzhao, the king of Nanzhao, would come to Chang'an in person and enter the Jinluan palace.

He stood up, went over and reached for his hand to help him: "Nanzhao monarch, please get up and sit down."

Yao Annan bowed his head and didn't stand up: "it's still light for a guilty minister to die. He had to kneel here and beg the emperor for mercy. The guilty minister knew that he was full of sin, and he did not dare to ask the emperor to pardon his felony. He was willing to stay in Chang'an forever. Nanzhao established a new king, and Nanzhao will always be a minister of the emperor. "

Above the Jinluan hall, in front of all the civil and military officials of Zixiao Empire, he has already paid homage to the emperor. In the imperial study, he knelt down here to plead guilty again. More frankly, he was the monarch of Nanzhao, and then he called himself "guilty minister" and made three bows and nine kowtows, which was absolute submission. For thousands of years, Nanzhao monarch has never been submissive to the Central Plains royal family.

How could he care if he had done all this? He was more humble and submissive. He continued to kneel here and plead guilty.

"Annan", the name, not only reposes his father's ardent expectations for him, but also is his constant goal.

All we have done is just to make southern Xinjiang stable and prosperous!

After receiving the secret letter from his daughter Yao Xian, he had decided how to do it without any hesitation. Going to the Jinluan hall is only to make a firm decision, but also because I admire fengqingxiao, the God of war, for a long time and do not hesitate to condescend to worship. I also want to see with my own eyes the emperor of Zixiao Empire, the God of war and the God of killing.

Feng Qingxiao couldn't help but smile and said, "get up, don't forget your identity. You are the king of Nanzhao. I forgive you for your innocence. I give you the privilege of not kneeling when you see me."Yao Annan was full of surprise, disbelief and admiration.

The God of war, the emperor of a holy king, can see that he has a problem with his identity. He can easily change heaven into heaven. He can defeat 200000 strong enemies with thousands of iron guards. How can we not see the purpose of his many performances just now? In those two words, we should take Chang'an as a hostage and set up a new emperor for Nanzhao. What's more, we should take retreat as advance?

However, the emperor did not point out this matter. Instead, he generously pardoned his felony and granted him no need to kneel down.

"Crime minister, thank emperor Hong En."

He bowed to the ground, then straightened up and bowed his hands.

"Sit down and talk."

He slightly looked up to the wind green sky: "the emperor does not blame punishment Minister?"

"The presence of the monarch shows sincerity. My queen likes Princess Yaoxian very much. What she means is my heart."

Yao Annan's heart could not help but relax, and some of his worries were gone. The reason why she decided to accept Yun Zihuang's promise, agree with her daughter's judgment and suggestion, go to the Jinluan palace in person, and then come to the imperial study to plead guilty, is naturally to get the emperor's golden words face to face and settle these matters. Hearing what the emperor said, I realized that it was true that the empress could be the emperor's home, most of the state affairs were in charge, and all the family affairs were in charge of the empress.

He bent his knees and knelt down again: "Heaven's grace is great, thank you."

As soon as Feng Qingxiao raised his hand, he was already holding him up before he knelt down: "the monarch doesn't have to do this. Sit down and talk."
