Zhong Xingxiao planned to send the people he brought to inquire. Any minister who agreed to the merger plan of Murongli in the Great Zhou Dynasty would have planned to visit him with a heavy gift, and he must do his best to make this happen.
.
Soon Xiao Rongyan's people came back first. It is said that the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was more in favor of the betting agreement between the country. Lu Jin seemed to have also said good things about the betting agreement between the two countries in the court, and the big ones were also in the court.
Emperor Zhou's uncle Dong Qingping was between agreeing and disagreeing. Grand Wei Lu and Shen Sikong seemed to be inclined to agree to the strategy of gambling the country, believing that the Great Zhou would win.
After hearing the reply, Xiao Rongyan sat on the chair and thought for a long time and said, "Since that's the case, I'll bother my uncle... I personally go to Lord Lu's mansion with generous gifts. You can ask Lord Lu if you have any suggestions.
Yan State should walk around with those ministers next. As for Grand Marshal Lu and Shen Sikong, they have always been in the same heart and virtue as the Emperor of the Great Zhou, so they can wait... there is no need to hurry."
Zhong Xingxiao quickly stood up and responded respectfully: "Yes, don't worry, the Regent, I will do my best to do my best in this matter!"
"Nine Prince, if the news is accurate, the Emperor of Great Zhou agrees with His Majesty's bet, why not strike while the iron is hot. Let's privately ask for the Emperor of Great Zhou and talk about the benefits of the merger of the bet country with the Emperor of Great Zhou. Maybe it will be possible.
Where?" The accompanying official of Yan State walked two steps towards Xiao Rongyan, and said with a firm look, "After all, the one who made the final decision must be the Emperor of Great Zhou."
Xiao Rongyan's facial features were blocked behind the mask, making people unable to see their expressions. Only his deep eyes seemed to express his unwillingness.
Seeing this, Zhong Xingxiao thought about it and went forward and said, "Yes, Regent! Since the Emperor of Great Zhou also agrees with our Majesty's method, it is better for the Ninth Prince to go to the palace to meet the Emperor of Great Zhou in person. In this way, we convince the Great Zhou.
The chance is even greater."
"Prince..." Yan State's Minister of Revenue bowed to Xiao Rongyan, "The prince can send someone to the Great Zhou Palace. If the Great Zhou emperor is willing to meet in private, it means that the chance of this matter being concluded is great. If it is...
...If the Emperor of Great Zhou is unwilling to meet our envoys of Yan State in private, it means that we need to work harder in this matter, what do you think?"
Xiao Rongyan's hand on the armrest of the seat was knocked on, and seemed to be in deep thought. After a while, he spoke: "Let me do this, let the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of the Honglu Temple and Wang Hanbing go to the palace to meet the Emperor of the Great Zhou.
, I... won't go."
"Regent..." Seeing this, Zhong Xingxiao quickly stood up and bowed to the ground with Xiao Rongyan, "This trip to the Great Zhou is just as Your Majesty said before we left, and it was our Yan State asking the Great Zhou to agree to this matter.
Our Yan State should be put lower. The Regent is not an ordinary prince of Yan State but a regent in our Great Yan State. And this time, the Regent is the leader of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The weight is not comparable to ordinary envoys.
!”
After Zhong Xingxiao finished speaking, he turned around and looked at the court officials of the Empress Dowager who came with the team of envoys of Yan State. The court officials immediately stepped forward and said, "Prince, what the uncle said is reasonable. If it is the Regent, you have not come."
That's all, you are here... but you only let the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of the Honglu Temple and Wang Hanbing go to see the Emperor of Great Zhou. It will inevitably make the Emperor of Great Zhou feel that our Yan State neglects the Great Zhou!"
After saying that, the court officials saluted to other colleagues: "I don't think the Minister of Revenue and your colleagues have low official positions. It's just that we can't be considered a big deal with the Regent!"
Behind the mask, Xiao Rongyan's lips curled up slightly. This time... the Empress Dowager forced him to enter the palace to see Abao, but he was not going to go by himself.
Although... he was already impatient.
Xiao Rongyan was silent for a while before speaking: "Let me go and arrange it! I... will go there in person!"
Zhong Xingxiao heard that Xiao Rongyan's tone was not very willing, and he became more and more confident in his heart that it was right to ask Xiao Rongyan to join the merits to meet the Emperor of Great Zhou. Xiao Rongyan must also know that only with his weight can this matter be completed.
But in order to avoid Xiao Rongyan's indifference, Zhong Xingxiao said again: "Then I will work hard to take the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, and the envoy Wang Hanbing, appointed by His Majesty, to go with the Regent."
Xiao Rongyan did not object, but just remained silent.
Seeing that Xiao Rongyan did not object, Zhong Xingxiao took the excuse to prepare gifts for Lu Jin and left the front chamber. As soon as he returned to his room, he asked the loyal servant who was following him to close the door and sat down with the round table.
, think carefully.
The loyal servant stepped forward and asked, "Master, are we going to set out to Lord Lu's mansion? Do you need to go down to prepare a car..."
"Don't be anxious first!" Zhong Xingxiao raised his hand to signal the loyal servant, with a serious expression down his eyes and thought, "When our people come back, if we find out what we find out is the same as the Regents' people, it will not be too late for us to go again.
!You... prepare the gift first, the more expensive the better."
"Yes!" Zhong Xingxiao's servant responded and turned around and went out to prepare for a heavy gift to the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Soon, news came from the Great Zhou Palace that the Great Zhou Emperor was only willing to meet the regent of Yan State.
After Zhong Xingxiao watched Xiao Rongyan leave the inn, he hurriedly called someone to inquire and asked who the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty asked to pass on Xiao Rongyan and what was his attitude.
I heard that it was just an ordinary imperial guards who came over, and they didn't even prepare a carriage. Zhong Xingxiao felt a sudden thud and was immediately uneasy. The Emperor of Great Zhou was too slow to treat the regent of the Great Yan. This was not the same.
Good signal.
Until the people he sent back and found that the news in the Great Zhou court was no different from those of the Regent, Zhong Xingxiao quickly injured the carriage and went to Lu Jin's mansion.
·
In the palace.
Bai Qingyan asked the wet nurse to carry the two children over early and waited in Ming'an Palace. Wei Zhong sent away all the other palace maids and eunuchs, leaving only him and Chuntao and Chunzhi to serve him.
Wei Zhong knew Xiao Rongyan's identity well. He saw Xiao Rongyan wearing a silver mask, carrying a straight head, slowly heading up the stairs, heading towards the magnificent Ming'an Palace, with his eyebrows and eyes.
A smile.
Wei Zhong greeted him and stood beside the lifelike bronze crane lamp, smiling and saluting: "Nine Prince..."
Xiao Rongyan nodded, the silver mask was reflected by the swaying lights, his heartbeat was extremely fast, his beloved wife and children were in the hall, and he wanted to fly over from the beginning of Yan State, almost
It is to try your best to resist your impulse.
Although I saw it from afar in the court today and although I saw it, it was far from enough for Xiao Rongyan.
