Thank you to Male Bo Wang for your large reward and monthly ticket. Speaking of which, man, your ID is really heavy! Of course, brother Denzi, thank you for your support.
In fact, Han Yanhui himself was very surprised to be allowed to see the emperor. Early in the morning, before dawn, he went to wait outside the Dingding Gate until the palace gate opened at Mao Shi. In the meantime, a warrior from the palace took Han Yanhui to
I went to the side compartment and checked carefully up and down to confirm that Han Yanhui had nothing wrapped around him, and then I felt relieved.
Li Zhen came out of the side door and looked at Han Yanhui, who had been waiting for a long time, with a smile on his face. His expression made Han Yanhui immediately feel that the outcome of this trip might not be good. With some anxiety, Han Yanhui guided Li Zhen's sleeves.
, enter the imperial city.
Stepping over the Tianjin Bridge decorated with white jade railings, and walking a hundred steps along the straight Tianshu Middle Road, you will see the majestic palace city in front of you. Under the gaze of the majestic soldiers in armor, Han Yanhui passed through the Duanmen and arrived at the tall Qianyuan Hall.
Li Zhen pointed to the Qianyuan Hall on the 27th-step high platform of the third section and introduced: "This Dian was destroyed during the war with Huang Chao. In the second year of Tianfu, King Liang ordered the renovation of the Luoyang palace, which was not completed until the end of last year. Three days later
, the alliance of the princes of the world will be held in this hall..."
Han Yanhui was silent, three days later...so the princes from all parties have reached an agreement to form an alliance?
Looking up at the huge cornice pillars of the Qianyuan Hall, Han Yanhui sighed to himself. It was indeed a scene from the Tian family, but he wondered if Han would be able to stand there one day to discuss state affairs. If he could, he would be worthy of his life in this world!
After bypassing the Qianyuan Hall, a tower-like building that towers into the clouds comes into view. Although it is not as large as the Qianyuan Hall, its height is much higher. Han Yanhui raised his neck so hard that he could barely see the top floor.
Dome. An overwhelming shock poured down from the top of his head, making him suddenly unable to move, and his whole body felt extremely numb.
"Is this the Wanxiang Palace built by Emperor Wu?" Han Yanhui murmured.
Although Li Zhen has seen a lot, he can't stop the enthusiasm in his heart every time he passes by this place: "Yes, the Wanxiang Shrine. I think back on how powerful Emperor Wu was back then..."
The two stopped here for a long time before reluctant to leave. Further north, there are Huiyou Hall and Taoguang Garden, which have not yet been repaired. Many craftsmen are still busy shuttling back and forth, and huge trees and green bricks are piled up everywhere.
Han Yanhui said that it is expected that the renovation of Huiyou Palace will be completed by the end of this year, and that the court will be able to hold court meetings here. Each king can choose one person to serve as a minister or above. Li Zhenxiao asked Han Yanhui if he intended to become an official in the court. At that time,
Li Zhen can recommend it on your behalf.
This tentative joke was directly ignored by Han Yanhui. He knew very well where his power originated. After leaving Lu Long, he didn't even have a chance to sit on an equal footing in front of Li Zhen. As for entering the court? Forget it, since the Spring and Autumn Period
After that, I never saw the officials in the Emperor Zhou's court having any power or position.
From this, Li Zhen led Han Yanhui to the west, to Jiuzhou Pond. Jiuzhou Pond is a garden surrounded by nine scattered pools of water, where the emperor Li Ye lived today.
Stopping next to a side hall, a female official came out of the hall. She asked softly: "Li Kuan, is this the envoy from Youzhou?" Since the king of Liang killed the eunuchs, there are no middle-ranking officials around the emperor.
, after moving the capital to Luoyang, the King of Liang selected a group of female officials to fill the palace and carry out the responsibility of passing on the news.
Li Zhen slightly nodded his head, and Han Yanhui saluted him: "Secretary of the Yan Palace, Lu Longjin sent Han Yanhui to see the emperor. I hope you will accept it."
The female officer entered the palace. After a while, she came out and said: "Your Majesty is in the palace, please invite the Korean envoy to come in. Will Li Kuan come in with you?"
Li Zhen smiled: "I will find a place to have tea with you, so I won't bother anyone."
Han Yanhui nodded and thanked Li Zhen, and then stepped into the threshold. The interior of the hall was simple, with only a few tables and chairs, and two huge screens, dividing the space into three sections.
The emperor Li Ye did not wear classic clothes, only a wide cloth robe. He just sat casually on a chair in the middle. There was neither a high-level table nor a dragon case in front of him. There was only a small table and a teapot beside the chair.
and a tea cup. Diagonally behind him is a table, with pens, inks, paper, inkstones and other items neatly placed on it. In addition, there is nothing else. It is as simple as a poor scholar.
The scene in front of him was completely different from Han Yanhui's imagination. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. At the emperor's signal, he sat down with a sense of loss.
"Envoy Han, don't be constrained, just feel free to do whatever you want." The emperor waved his hand.
"Your Majesty is simple, but I am uneasy."
"But it's much better. At least I can eat and wear warm clothes." The emperor's words made Han Yanhui's nose feel slightly sore.
"Your Majesty is in a difficult situation, and I am awaiting death penalty!"
"Don't talk about this," the emperor shook his head: "At least he is still alive... By the way, is my imperial uncle in good health?"
Han Yanhui cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness, King Yan, is well. His Highness asked his ministers to send greetings to His Majesty. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Princess also sent their regards to His Majesty..." As he said this, he took out three letters from his sleeve and handed them over.
The emperor was very happy and took it over quickly: "I was about to ask about it." Then he shouted from behind the screen: "Queen, Zhaoyi, come out quickly. Ambassador Han is not an outsider, he was sent by the emperor's uncle to say hello."
The two beautiful women turned out from behind the screen, their faces flushed, and stood uneasily behind the emperor. Han Yanhui stood up again and saluted the two women. Because the two women were wearing ordinary silk shirts and no crowns or ornaments, Han Yanhui also
I couldn't tell who was the queen and who was Li Zhaoyi, so I could only salute vaguely: "I bow to the queen, Zhaoyi."
Queen He and Li Zhaoyi returned the gift, and immediately stared at the three letters on the Emperor's lap, their eyes fixed on them, their cheeks trembling slightly, showing they were extremely concerned.
The emperor was considerate, smiled and handed the prince's letter to Queen He, and then handed the princess's letter to Li Zhaoyi. He opened Li Chengzhong's letter and read it carefully. For a while, there was silence in the palace.
Not long after, three heavy breaths sounded, and Queen He spoke first: "Your Majesty, Shiyi Lang is in good health. He said that he was well fed and well clothed. The emperor's uncle also invited him to be tutored by the East Palace... Your Majesty, you
Look, Shiyilang's writing is much more elegant."
Li Zhaoyi also smiled: "Sister Thirteen is also very good. She studied with the prince and can already write." As he spoke, tears oozed from the corners of Li Zhaoyi's eyes, causing Queen He to cry too.
The emperor finished reading Li Chengzhong's letter, and then took the letter from Queen He and Li Zhaoyi. While reading it, he said happily: "Why are you crying? The eleventh son and the thirteenth sister are living a good life. I have already told you that the emperor will not
It will weaken them."
Han Yanhui felt uncomfortable in his heart, seeing that this family, which was supposed to be the most noble family in the world, now looked like an ordinary peasant couple, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
When Queen He and Li Zhaoyi happily retreated to the back to answer the letter, the emperor suddenly asked Han Yanhui: "Didn't the sergeant feel embarrassed when the envoy Han came to see me here?"
Han Yanhui was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and replied: "Your Majesty is wise, Li Kuan has read these letters."
The emperor sighed, and after a long while, he asked quietly: "Envoy Han, did the emperor send you to the Eastern Capital to make an alliance?"
Han Yanhui nodded: "Exactly." He looked around and asked the emperor with his eyes. The emperor said: "Tell me, King Liang is very confident about me now, no one is eavesdropping."
Han Yanhui gritted his teeth and asked softly: "Your Majesty, would you like to hunt in the north?"
The emperor was shocked, stared at Han Yanhui and said: "Going to Youzhou?"
Han Yanhui nodded, and the emperor hesitated and asked: "Do you have any solution? What solution?"
Han Yanhui said: "There are people from His Highness King Yan in the palace." He did not explain in detail. Some things cannot be disclosed at will, especially those involving such important personnel arrangements, and they cannot be said easily. This is not only responsible for the subordinates, but also for the emperor.
for the sake of safety.
Licking his dry lips, the emperor couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and walked back and forth in the palace. After a while, the emperor stopped, sat back, looked at Han Yanhui and said, "Uncle Emperor, I'm very grateful for your kindness. But,
Don’t mention this matter again.”
Han Yanhui was stunned: "Does your Majesty intend to be trapped in a prison without being able to come back?"
The emperor shook his head and said: "This time, that time. After the enfeoffment ceremony, my family will be as stable as before."
Han Yanhui asked curiously: "Could it be that His Majesty agrees with enfeoffment?"
The Emperor said: "All the vassals and towns in the world have become kings, so no one will compete for my throne. Why don't you agree?"
Han Yanhui asked in disbelief: "Your Majesty, King Liang is taking advantage of the opportunity of enfeoffment to summon the princes for a northern expedition. Once Hedong and Hebei fall into the hands of King Liang, King Liang will definitely be in great difficulty. At that time, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be willing to die for a white man."
It’s impossible to get!”
The emperor nodded and said: "I know, maybe, who can tell what will happen in the future? But the King of Liang promised me that after the enfeoffment, the capital will be used to support me...The King of Liang wants to make a northern expedition to Hedong and Hebei, but there is no
It won't take three or five years to achieve success. With these three to five years, someone will surely be able to revive the Imperial Army in the capital..."
As he spoke, the emperor's lips trembled, and his eyes were full of enthusiasm and excitement: "What I lack is time, what I lack is opportunity! After the Han envoy returned to Youzhou, he also wanted to convey to the emperor that he must hold on and hold on more
One day, I can recruit an extra team of soldiers here. I only need five years, no, three years, within three years, I will be able to rebuild the Imperial Army. At that time, together with the emperor's uncle, we will use the emperor's order to gather the army of the princes to attack the rebellious ministers. How can the common people of the world be defeated?
Determined!...This is an opportunity! This is an opportunity for Li Tang to revive!"
As the emperor spoke, he grabbed Han Yanhui's arm and pulled him outside the palace. He pointed at the corner of the eaves towering outside the wall and whispered: "Han Envoy, look, have you seen it? Qianyuan Palace! Wanxiang Temple.
! There is also Huiyou Hall! There is heaven! There is also Zhenguan Hall... These are all left to me by my ancestors, and they cannot be lost in my hands... Han Envoy, believe me, and please your uncle, believe me, as long as three
Years, three years later, I will be able to restore the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty! Ambassador Han, please go back and tell the emperor's uncle that you must stop King Liang. By the way, I can issue an edict that if there is a war, the emperor's uncle can build a palace in Youzhou.
In Tiance Mansion, when it comes to major military and state affairs, the emperor can make his own decision! I am afraid that it is not possible to issue an edict, so I will issue an oral edict..."
Han Yanhui's heart gradually sank, and he suddenly felt palpitations, accompanied by deep sadness. Looking at the almost crazy emperor, at this moment, the Luoyang Palace in his eyes was in a trance.
