Chapter 1405 Carrying the coffin and heading north
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the palace was in an uproar.
Even His Majesty the Emperor, who had known the news in advance, couldn't help but smile on his face. He touched his chin pretendingly, and then said lightly: "Although he is a false emperor, after all, he was once the king of a country, and he should not have been. It would be embarrassing to see so many people, but since Shen Qing has taken him outside the palace, it would not be appropriate not to see him again."
"about."
His Majesty the Emperor said calmly: "Bring Emperor Qi to the palace."
The guards in the palace immediately lowered their heads and quickly brought Emperor Zhaowu, who had changed into black clothes, to the Deqing Palace. At this time, Emperor Zhaowu should have been tidied up. Although his clothes were not very luxurious, they were still neat.
The hair and beard have also been taken care of.
Because of his status as emperor, Shen Yi still gave him some basic dignity. At this moment, he was not in the shackles, and the second was not locked. There were only two people behind him, watching him step by step.
After arriving at the main hall, Emperor Zhaowu did not kneel down, but looked up at Emperor Hongde.
He looked at it for a long time.
Looking up at the emperor has always been regarded as disrespectful, or even intentional to assassinate the king, so no one has ever dared to look at Emperor Hongde like this.
However, Emperor Hongde was not angry either. He sat on the throne very calmly and looked at his colleagues in front of him.
He is also one of his few peers.
Master Shen stood first on the left, looked back at Emperor Zhaowu, waited for a while, and then said: "Zhao Kai, now that the order of the world has been decided, why don't you kneel down when you see the Holy Emperor?"
Emperor Zhaowu took a deep breath, turned to look at Shen Yi, who was wearing a first-grade court uniform, and suddenly smiled.
"What if I don't kneel down?"
Mr. Shen said in a low voice: "You traveled all the way from Yandu to Jiankang. Could it be that you came here seeking death?"
Emperor Zhaowu lowered his eyebrows and said, "Don't you Han people have the hypocritical rule of two kings and three ke?"
Mr. Shen said slowly: "The two kings and the three men have shown courtesy to the former dynasty. The puppet dynasty and our dynasty have existed side by side for seventy years. It is hard to say whether they count as the former dynasty."
Emperor Zhaowu closed his eyes: "I came to Jiankang to see what the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty was like. Now my wish has been fulfilled. It is nothing more than death."
"alright."
Emperor Hongde, who was sitting on the throne, could no longer suppress the smile on his lips. He looked at Emperor Zhaowu below and said with a smile: "After all, it is a dynasty that has been in existence for more than seventy years. Even if we don't recognize it, we won't read it from the history books. It has been wiped away, but future generations will still recognize it. I have already ordered people to start compiling the history of Qi."
He looked at Emperor Zhaowu again and said calmly: "Brother Zhao wants to see me, and I have always wanted to see Brother Zhao."
"Now that I finally get to meet him, I can forget about my worries."
Emperor Hongde looked at the civil and military officials and said: "Two kings and three brothers, I have promised Zhao Xiong, the king of the Jin Dynasty of the Northern Qi Dynasty, if brother Zhao does not recognize me as the emperor, then this matter will be done like this."
"If Brother Zhao admits it."
His Majesty the Emperor stood up, clasped his hands behind his back and said, "As the same monarch, I will ensure that you will be rich and honorable for the rest of your life."
Zhao Kai, who was dressed in black, stood there and didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he raised his head to look at Emperor Hong De, then turned to look at Shen Qi and said: "Shen Qi, your Majesty the Emperor is really awesome. Kindness."
This sentence was slightly sinister and contained Shen Yi's words, which made Mr. Shen couldn't help but frown. Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Kai had already knelt down and bowed his head to Emperor Hong De: "Your Majesty, Zhao Kai, Meet His Majesty the Emperor."
"good."
Emperor Hongde, Longyan, was delighted, and sent Sun Jin to help Emperor Zhaowu up, and said, "If you grant the title of Duke Anle, you will be granted the title of Duke Anle, and you will be granted the building of a mansion."
"Treat him with courtesy."
The so-called "binli" means that although Zhao Kai will have a title in Dachen in the future, he will not be a minister of Dachen, but a guest of Dachen, or a guest staying at Lao Li's house. When he meets the emperor or anyone else, he will Just salute, no need to kneel down.
Of course, in theory, there is no need to kneel down. In specific situations, it depends on whether the state guest himself is dignified enough.
If he had the guts, he might get violently ill and die one day.
Mr. Shen frowned and reported to the class: "Your Majesty, the King of Jin Zhao Xiong..."
His Majesty the Emperor smiled freely and said: "I have approved everything Shen Qing promised him before. Da Chen is about to dominate the world. With a vast land and abundant resources, he can still afford to support two state guests."
Shen Yi then lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Emperor Hong De sat on the throne and felt comfortable. He smiled and said: "My concubine Qi and Duke An Le are still brothers and sisters. In a few days, Duke An Le will come to the palace. You brothers and sisters are still here." We can reunite."
Such words are simply disgusting, but Zhao Kai, who is under the eaves and has no intention of dying, can only lower his head slightly: "I obey."
…………
"happy!"
After the court meeting ended, in the Manna Hall, His Majesty the Emperor slapped the table and laughed almost ungracefully.
He couldn't hide the excitement in his heart and walked around the Manna Hall.
"When I saw the man surnamed Zhao kneeling down for me, I felt that my hard work over the past ten years had not been in vain!"
"What a pleasure!"
Although he received a series of reports reporting the return of the northern territory, due to the transportation conditions of this era, His Majesty the Emperor was slow to personally experience the territory recovered in the past few years.
However, the emperor of the enemy country knelt down in front of him. This was a real thing. His Majesty, the Emperor who had worked diligently for thirteen years and who was usually very sophisticated, couldn't help but feel his adrenaline surge!
Just now in the court, he could still try his best not to lose his composure.
Now that he was in the Manna Palace, he couldn't bear it any longer and acted very excited.
Mr. Shen stood at the bottom and said with a smile: "If it weren't for Zhao Kai's status as emperor, it would be a shame for this man to die. However, since he has been the emperor of Northern Qi, conferring a title on him also shows that your majesty is kind."
"That's the next best thing."
Emperor Hong De took a sip of tea and slowly calmed down. He smiled at Shen Yi and said: "The main reason is that the rules of the past dynasties have not been broken. Since he is willing to surrender, I have to leave a line. I will leave this line for him." , and also leave a ray of hope for future generations of my Li family."
Mr. Shen quickly said: "Your Majesty, it will take tens of thousands of years to..."
The emperor waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't coax me with such words. It has only been a few thousand years. Which dynasty has had kings for hundreds of generations?"
He looked into the distance and said slowly: "Da Chen will eventually have his day."
Having said this, he looked at Shen Yi and said sincerely: "So, I have always been grateful to Shen Qing. If there was no Shen Qing in Dachen, even if my generation could live in peace with the north, it would not be possible after one generation or two. , the country may be on the verge of collapse.”
"In the past ten years, Shen Qing has created a century-old Guo Zuo for Da Chen."
The emperor lowered his head and drank tea: "What I am thinking about now is to preserve the country for a hundred years. A hundred years from now..."
Emperor Hong De laughed at himself: "Then neither I nor Shen Qing can control it."
Mr. Shen did not answer, but asked: "How is Your Majesty planning to arrange Zhao Kai?"
"I have no plans to arrange for him."
The emperor smiled and said: "Find him some more women and keep him in captivity until he dies."
"As long as he lives, it will be a big blow to Zhu Li outside the pass."
"It would be even better if he could have a few sons in Jiankang."
The emperor clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Zhenren Zhuli outside the Pass will be completely disgraced because of him."
"In the future, I will also learn from Wu Ming."
Mr. Shen leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
The emperor touched his chin and continued: "Zhou Yuanlang, I have already arranged to enter Taichang Temple."
He looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Shen Qingqing said, can he understand the intentions of our monarchs and ministers?"
Mr. Shen thought for a while and replied: "Zhou Yuanlang is a smart man. He should soon write to His Majesty to request that the imperial mausoleum be moved north."
The emperor said "Yeah" and said with a smile: "If he is too stupid."
"I will let him feel it."
Having said this, he looked at Shen Yi and said: "I am going to transport Emperor Sejong's coffin to the north. When the time comes, Shen Qing will cooperate and bury Emperor Sejong's coffin."
Shen Yi said "Ah" and looked up at the emperor: "Your Majesty, how can I do this kind of thing..."
The emperor smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't be so stupid as to let you handle this kind of thing alone."
His Majesty the Emperor stood up and said: "Emperor Sejong has not been buried in the ground for decades. As an unworthy descendant, I, of course, must personally carry the coffin north and bury Emperor Sejong's coffin in the ground to comfort his spirit in heaven."
Only then did Shen Yi understand.
Your Majesty, the Emperor, wants to hunt in the north.
