Wang Jiweng did not expect that he made a mistake in a hurry. His question aroused Liu Fu's alertness. He only said that Qiongzhou was short of food and wanted to buy grain from Chameng and Annan, and never mentioned this matter. In this way, the two did not get the exact news of the alliance between Chameng and Annan and Chameng. However, from Liu Fu's words, they realized that there must be something tricky after a little analysis.
First of all, it is very suspicious that Chen Yizhong stayed in Champa for a long time but did not return. According to the world, he wanted to go to court, but now the court has already gained a foothold in Qiongzhou and he still does not return, that is very suspicious. It is probably either for quality or for the responsibility of contacting the two countries to resist the Yuan Dynasty. In addition, the royal families of both countries sent their children to Qiongzhou, and when the Khan threatened to use force on the two countries, if Liu Fu said it was just a matter of discussing buying grain, why should the important officials from all three parties take action?
In addition, Liu Fu's hiding attitude was too suspicious. After discovering that he had made a mistake after drinking, he tried to make up for it, which shows that he was the representative of the court to discuss the alliance with the two countries. However, they still don't know how far it has been progressing. However, they should have had a look at his proud appearance when he came, otherwise he would not have the confidence to defend Qiongzhou.
Although there was no further news from Liu Fu's mouth, the meeting still brought a turning point. The next day, the Yicheng changed their residences, and the food could finally arouse appetite. The soldiers who "protected" them were gone, obviously acquiesced to them to enter and exit freely. Although Liu Fu also promised to report their arrival and the edict to the emperor, no one came to contact him.
Seeing that a few days later, no one in the court paid attention to them. Liu Mengyan and Wang Jiweng felt that they should take the initiative, so they tried to visit their former colleagues and subordinates, either turning away or speaking coldly, which made the two very embarrassed. But they still tried to figure out the details of the three-party alliance. In addition to sending people to monitor their residences and seeing who came, they also declined their identities to listen to the wall.
Although the two tried their best to gain little, they were not very good, mainly because they could not understand the language. Annan dialect at all. In desperation, they could only bribe a business trip who lived in the inn with a large sum of money and let him translate what he heard. It was a pity that their group really lacked language talent, and the translator could not repeat it completely, saying that he only mentioned that Annan returned the occupied land of Chameng in the future, and the Song Dynasty and Annan divided the land of Guangnan.
At this time, Wang Jiweng suddenly remembered that Liu Fu had said that he wanted to invite two people to have a banquet in Guangzhou, so that it could be linked. It turned out that the Three Kingdoms Alliance not only wanted to repel the Yuan army's attack, but to capture the two routes of Guangnan, and then the Three Kingdoms divided the spoils again. However, due to the limited eavesdropping, it was impossible to know more. But this was enough to show why Xingchao neglected them, because Xingchao would not obey the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager, and the young emperor would not summon them.
When Liu Mengyan and the others made this judgment, they became uneasy, worried that they would be detained by the court, and they were more likely to be killed as a rebellion. And early this morning, the guards arrived to block the inn and did not allow anyone to enter or exit. When they saw a cart coming to the inn through the crack of the door, they felt even more disappointed.
Liu Mengyan and both were important officials of the court, and they were currently the Minister of Rites in the Yuan Dynasty. Why didn’t they know that this chariot was a special ceremonial object for the royal family and not everyone could sit casually. It was the emperor’s great favor if ordinary people were lucky enough to get their butts. And the car was definitely not here to pick it up. The only ones who could bear this favor in this inn were the two princes of the vassal kings in the backyard.
Since the court now welcomes the court with national court, it is enough to show that the Three Kingdoms Alliance has become a fact. The show is to sign the alliance in the palace. On the contrary, the enemy envoy and the rebellious status of the country are extremely bad. Thinking of this, the two of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They originally thought that they could use Empress Dowager Xie's edict to recruit surrender to the court and gain some capital for promotion in front of the Khan, but now they may not be able to save their lives.
"Report to the two officials, there are officials from the Song Dynasty's Ministry of Rites coming to report the order!" Just when Liu Mengyan and the other two were still in shock, they followed him and trotted in and reported.
"Who from the Ministry of Rites?" Wang Jiweng suddenly stood up and asked, but everyone could see that his legs were trembling slightly.
"I don't know, they are in!" Their followers were even more nervous because of the nervous Wang Jiweng, and pointed behind them.
"Brother of Heart!" Liu Mengyan met the leader, and he was the Minister of Rites Xu Zongren, who bowed to him.
"I dare not take my name as a brother under the ritual!" Xu Zongren bowed his hand coldly and responded.
"Why do you have to do this? Have we ever been a minister in the same palace?" Seeing the awkward scene, Wang Jiweng stepped forward and bowed and smiled.
"Hmph, I sincerely think it is a shame for my life to be in the same palace as the minister!" Xu Zongren did not buy it and snorted coldly.
"Brother Qiuxin is joking!" The man had to bow his head under the eaves. Wang Jiweng didn't dare to attack when he hit a nail and said with a wry smile.
"It is not a joke now that Japanese officials are here. Your Majesty issued an edict that all former officials of the Song Dynasty who have changed their integrity and served the enemy will be removed from their fame and title, and all the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty will be killed!" Xu Zongren said seriously, "According to the imperial edict, both of them have been removed from their fame and status, and their official position will be removed from their citizenship."
"This..." Fame and fortune have always been the foundation of scholars based on society. Liu Mengyan was the top scholar, and this is also the capital he was proud of. But now he has lost all of it. When he heard it, he felt like he was lost and could not speak.
"I am an envoy of the Yuan Dynasty and I am ordered to visit. You must ensure our safety, otherwise..." Wang Jiweng's first thought was 'everyone can be punished', which means that once he walks out of the inn, he may be beaten to death, so he said anxiously.
"Your Majesty is just thinking that you are the envoys of the Tartars and did not capture and kill them immediately. Now I will order you to escort you out of Qiongzhou immediately." Xu Zongren saw Wang Jiweng's angry look and sneered on his face.
"We are envoys of the Yuan Dynasty. We are ordered by the Khan. We come with the edicts of the Empress Dowager and Emperor Deyou. Scholars can be killed and not humiliated. How can you treat us like this?" Wang Jiweng knew that the edict would make it easier for the Song Dynasty to be completely divided, and there was no old love to say. When we saw each other again, we would be enemies. When we were escorted out of the country, we regarded them as criminals. We also took it a pledge and became men. He said angrily.
"Hehe, that's fine!" Xu Zongren agreed with a smile, "You must leave Qiongzhou within three days, but if you can safely walk to Lingao, I will forgive me for not being able to guarantee it!"
