Chapter 130 - Emissaries
In the blink of an eye, it was already the fifteenth of the fifth month, and Zhe Yanzhi still had not come to Hanzhong City!
became a little anxious within the House of Zhuang, and said, "Father, it's already this time, there are still five days until sister's wedding. Why is Second Brother still not back yet?"
Zhe Keqiu said: "I just received news that there's a problem on the road from Middle Han Area to Chuan Shu!"
Zhe Yanwen was surprised for a moment, and said: "There's a problem with the road? What's the problem? "
Zhe Keqiu said: "A road leading to Chuan Shu fell down, the road was blocked, so right now people from the Chuan Shu are unable to come to the Middle Han Area, and people from the Middle Han Area are also not able to go to the Chuan Shu! Only by clearing the way will your brother be able to come to Middle Han Area! "
Zhe Yanwen frowned, and said: "How could this happen?"
Zhe Keqiu said: "Perhaps it's because of the heavy rain from a few days ago! "Mountains, rocks, and landslides!"
Zhe Yanwen said: "Even though sister has married, second brother still hasn't returned! On the day of our wedding, little sister will definitely be sad! "
Zhe Keqiu shook his head, and said: "Then there is no other way, this is a miraculous calamity, no matter how much power your brother has, it will be difficult to fly over the pier, and come to Middle Han Area!"
Zhe Yanwen sighed, and said: "This time, Second Brother will only be able to come after the wedding!"
Zhe Keqiu nodded, and no longer discussed this topic, but said: "Yang Shi, Zhao Ding and the rest have arrived at the Middle Han Area, what movements have they made recently?"
Zhe Yanwen said: "They are always hanging around in the streets and alleys of the Hanzhong City, occasionally visiting some of the ministers of the Middle Han Area, and did not do anything too excessive!"
Zhe Keqiu thought for a moment, then said: "Nvzhen has come to Hanzhong City, what are they doing now?"
Zhe Yanwen continued: "When Nvzhen arrives at Hanzhong City, she almost never leaves the inn! They are the enmity between us Han people. If we leave the inn, I'm afraid we Han people will not forgive them! At that time, even with the protection of our Home Breaker, I am afraid they won't be able to escape death! "
Zhe Keqiu laughed and said: "They are now emissaries! The battle between the two countries was not to be cut! You must protect their safety! "
Zhe Yanwen nodded, and said: "Father, don't worry!"
Zhe Keqiu walked to the window and looked outside. He felt complacent, everything was within his control, and his face couldn't help but reveal a trace of a pleased smile!
At the same time, Yang Shi and Zhao Ding were seated at the table, drinking tea at the Hanzhong City Inn.
They walked outside for an entire afternoon and only returned to the inn at dusk!
"Zhao Ding, we have been wandering around Hanzhong City and heard a lot of discussions from the commoners! Without exception, all of the commoners felt that Zhao Chen was the unparalleled ruler of the times! Almost everyone thought that Zhe Keqiu was a huge traitor! Originally, Zhao Chen was the successor of the Crown Prince and had the Imperial Jade Seal in his possession. He could be said to have rightfully inherited the position, with the hearts of the common people in the world all on him! However, if he were to go against the rules now, the people would no longer care about him! Now, even if it is the Hanzhong City s, there will still be people yearning for them! " Yang Shi said with excitement.
"Mr. Yang is right!" Oh right, Mr. Yang, I want to see him before Emperor Xuanwu's grand wedding! " Zhao Ding said.
"Meet him? Why? We just need to send the gifts from the Emperor Jianyan to him, why would we need to meet such a disrespectful Emperor! " Yang Shi said.
"I want to convince him!" Zhao Ding said.
"Convince him?" Yang Shi was stunned yet again.
"Right now, Zhe Keqiu's power is overflowing, the Emperor Xuanwu is most likely suffering from immense pressure! At this moment, he probably regretted his decision from that day! Therefore, I want to pay a visit to him and advise him to abdicate his throne. This is a good thing for the armies and civilians of this world! " Zhao Ding said.
"That's right!" "Master Zhao is wise and farsighted. I am convinced by you today!" Yang Shi laughed.
Zhao Ding also laughed along, but he very quickly shook his head! He knew that Yang Shi was famous and untalented, had an irritable personality, and immediately advised: "Mr. Yang, when we arrive at the Imperial Palace tomorrow, Mister should not speak anymore, I will persuade Emperor Xuanwu!"
Yang Shi was startled, his expression was unhappy, but he still nodded and said: "Alright!"
On the morning of the second day, after their report, the two of them entered the Middle Han Area's Imperial Palace.
The two of them passed through Supreme Harmony Hall and headed towards the Dry Clear Palace at the back!
At this moment, the palace was decorated with lanterns and decorations. Countless imperial guards and palace maids were busy within the palace. The entire palace was bustling with activity!
"Darn you unconscious ruler, you don't want to join the Emperor Jianyan, you deserve to die a thousand times for your crimes! If I am able to persuade you today, it would be for the best if I am not able to. When the great army of the Emperor Jianyan arrives in the future, you, who are an unconscious ruler, will only have a death wish! " Yang Shi secretly thought.
From the Supreme Harmony Hall to the Middle Harmony Hall, from the Intermediate Harmony Hall to the Harmony Hall, after passing the Harmony Hall, they finally arrived at the Dry Clear Palace at the back!
Here, they saw even more guards and palace maids!
The two of them waited here for a moment. A thin and tall middle-aged man with a pale face came up to them and said in an extremely shrill voice: "Your Majesty greets Yang Shi and Zhao Ding!"
Yang Shi coldly swept his eyes across the middle aged man and snorted: "Damn eunuch!"
That middle-aged man was Lin Bao. Lin Bao's face was flushed red! Ever since he had become a eunuch and entered the palace, he had always been high and mighty! Even if someone looked down on him, he would not dare to speak of him in front of him! Right now, Yang Shi was the first person to say that to him!
Lin Bao tightly clenched his fist, gritted his teeth, and followed Yang Shi and Zhao Ding into the Imperial Palace!
After Yang Shi and Zhao Ding entered the Imperial Palace, they saw an incomparably shocking scene! They only saw a young man with a very handsome appearance. His body also surpassed those of his peers. His expression was incomparably focused! However, his focus was on a piece of wood! This youth wore a dragon robe and had a piece of wood in his hand that was currently being carved! The youth actually ignored their arrival!
"Why haven't the two of you paid your respects to his Imperial Majesty yet?" Lin Bao yelled at the side in a sharp and thin voice.
"Nonsense!" We are the subjects of the Emperor Jianyan! Emperor Xuanwu is only a fake Monarch, how can we pay respects to a fake Monarch? " Yang Shi's face was filled with disdain!
Zhao Ding frowned, he thought for a moment, then bowed and said: "Jiangnan Zhao Ding and Yang Shi greets Emperor Xuanwu!"
Zhao Chen was still focused on being a carpenter, and did not say a word!
Zhao Ding was stunned there, and Yang Shi was also stunned there!
"Your majesty is working hard!" When His Majesty's hard work is over, you all can pay your respects to him! " Lin Bao coldly laughed.
Lin Bao did not even bring the two people a chair. He just stood there with the two of them!
After a quarter of an hour passed, Zhao Chen was still focused on being a carpenter! An hour had passed and Zhao Chen was still focused on being a carpenter! Gradually, two hours had passed. Yang Shi was already unable to stand steadily, and a layer of sweat had appeared on his forehead! Just at this moment, Zhao Chen finally put down the wooden sculpture in his hand. He looked at Yang Shi and Zhao Ding with a bit of surprise, and said: "Hey! Why is there two more people in Dry Clear Palace? "
Yang Shi and Zhao Ding did not know whether to laugh or cry. Lin Bao smiled charmingly, "Your Majesty, the two of them have already been here for a long time!"
Zhao Chen looked at Lin Bao with displeasure, and said: "These are Mr. Yang and Master Zhao, right? They have been here before when I ascended the throne! They must be celebrating my wedding this time! They're guests. How can you let them stand here? Why aren't you inviting them to sit! "
Lin Bao hastily slapped his mouth as he said with an enchanting smile: "This servant knows she's guilty! This servant will make them sit! "
Then, Lin Bao ordered someone to bring over a chair. The two finally sat down! At this moment, Yang Shi's legs were sore to the extreme, and the anger in his heart to the extreme. He said furiously: "Emperor Xuanwu, are you purposely playing with us?"
Zhao Chen was startled, and said: "Entertain you? What do you mean? "
Yang Shi said: "We have already been here for two hours and you are staring blankly at a piece of wood! If you don't know your manners, you deserve to die! "
Before Zhao Chen could speak, Lin Bao was already enraged, and said: "Damnable thing, His Majesty is a ruler of nine or five years, so what if he wants you all to stand there and wait? You dare to say that His Majesty deserves to die? Someone, drag this old thing away and kill him! "
After Lin Bao had finished speaking, a few guards immediately rushed in, and were just about to grab onto Yang Shi's arm, when Yang Shi turned pale from fright, his entire body trembling, and said: "Impossible …. "I can't …"
At this moment, he was actually unable to speak. He could only spit out the word "can't"!
"Emperor Xuanwu, please forgive me!" Zhao Ding stood up quickly and said.
"You guys didn't kneel when you saw me just now. Is this true?" Zhao Chen laughed and said.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Zhao Ding was startled!
After thinking about it, Zhao Ding finally knelt down and kowtowed nine times to Zhao Chen! Yang Shi trembled for a moment, then knelt down, and kowtowed nine times to Zhao Chen!
"Alright!" Just spare his life! What are you all doing here, hurry up and say it! I want to get married, and get busy every day in the dark. I don't have the time to chat with you guys! " Zhao Chen said.
Yang Shi and Zhao Ding didn't feel happy at all! Ever since they had arrived at the Imperial Palace, they had not had the time to persuade Zhao Chen, but they had already been rendered speechless by him!
"Does Your Majesty know about the situation in Middle Han Area today?" After thinking about it, Zhao Ding said.
"If you have anything to say, say so!" We are not willing to listen to your blabbering! " Zhao Chen said coldly.
"Your Majesty, please retreat!" Zhao Ding said.
"Humph!" Nothing could not be said to others! These people are all my trusted aides, you can say whatever you want! "Don't worry!" Zhao Chen said.
"Your majesty, Zhe Keqiu has the sole authority. Your majesty can only hide in the palace right now! In the future, when Zhe Keqiu's daughter enters the Imperial Palace, he would have even more power and authority! At that time, His Majesty would have to see what Zhe Keqiu had to say! We have come here to advise Your Majesty to abdicate the throne, and to respect the Emperor Jianyan as your Great Song Emperor! Emperor Jianyan will definitely not treat His Majesty unfairly. At that time, His Majesty would still be the crown prince. Zhao Ding looked at Lin Bao and the few guards around him, and could only bite the bullet and speak.
"Nonsense! My beloved lady is loyal to me, I am not willing to handle matters of state, he is handling matters of state for me, this is a loyal matter, how can it be a special power? The beautiful and virtuous daughter of his beloved official Zhuo was known throughout the Northwest! Once I marry the daughter of my beloved daughter, my beloved daughter will be even more loyal and devoted to me! The two of you came here just to slander our beloved one? " Zhao Chen said.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Zhao Ding, Yang Shi were both stunned!
They thought that Zhe Keqiu was the sole ruler of their sect and that he definitely felt uncomfortable in his heart and wanted to resist. However, they never expected that Zhao Chen would actually say such words! The two of them were at a loss for words!
"You two bastards, slander the Master Fold! If it weren't for the fact that both of you are here for His Majesty's wedding, I would definitely have His Majesty tear the two of you into pieces! The imperial palace does not welcome you, so you should leave quickly! " Lin Bao said excitedly.
Lin Bao was also perspiring in cold sweat, he was only afraid that Zhao Chen was convinced by the two of them, but luckily, Zhao Chen's actions were 'normal'! He thought to himself, 'This little emperor is really disrespectful to the extreme. He is hopeless!' Towards this kind of little emperor, Zhe Keqiu basically did not need to be vigilant! However, he must tell Zhe Keqiu everything that had happened in the Imperial Palace today. He must win Zhe Keqiu's good impression, and make a fortune for himself in the future!
Yang Shi, Zhao Ding left the palace, and returned to the tavern in the afternoon!
Yang Shi said: "The little emperor is hopeless! We advised him to abdicate his throne for his own good, and he actually refused! "
Zhao Ding shook his head, and said: "The little emperor is indeed unusually indecent! Forget it, from now on, this world belongs to Emperor Jianyan and Zhe Keqiu! This little Emperor doesn't need to worry at all! "
Yang Shi nodded his head, the two of them felt that something was amiss, let alone this!
At this moment, Wan Yanhuonv was drinking with a few of her subordinates in a room on the other side of the inn!
The Chinese wine making skills far exceeded that of the Nvzhen. The Chinese wine making skills were irresistible to them!
Wan Yanhuonv continued, "The emperor of the Han Dynasty was a comatose monarch. Let alone comparing him to Taizu or Taizong, even if he was compared to his father or grandfather, he was still far inferior! Even though his father and grandfather were impolite, they still had control of the imperial government. Right now, he didn't even have control of the imperial government; he was working as a carpenter in the imperial palace every day! Haha, haha, do you know what a carpenter is? That is the most lowly of jobs, and the emperor of the Han is actually doing the most lowly of jobs! "
All the centurion s beside him burst out into laughter!
Wan Yanhuonv then said: "We went all the way from Chang An here, first we passed the Dazhang Pass! The officials of the Dazhang Pass were relaxed to the extreme, and there were only a few thousand soldiers and horses there! After Great Song Emperor gets married, I will immediately return to Chang An and have father mobilize all of his army to attack Dazhang Pass in one go! At that time, our Female Genuine Cavalry would be able to enter the Middle Han Area, the Chuan Shu! At that time, only Jiang Nan would belong to the Han Chinese! It is already the sixteenth of May, and is getting closer and closer to the Emperor of Han Dynasty's grand wedding.
