The capital, the imperial palace, the imperial study,
Application time.
Emperor Xuan Si sat on a chair with a headache on his face, put his forehead on his hands, and looked at Yan Bing opposite.
Li Bing stood there with a silly smile on his face, baring his white teeth at Emperor Xuan Si.
"Didn't we just leave at noon? Why are you here again while I was taking a nap!?" Emperor Xuansi said impatiently with a pulled face.
Apparently, he was sulking because Yan Bing interrupted his lunch break.
I have to go to court tomorrow! You won't even let me have a good rest. Are you using my palace as a theater...??
But looking at the silly smile on the face of the silly girl opposite, he couldn't say anything, so he simply sighed and said slowly: "Tell me, what's the matter with coming to me in such a hurry?" After saying that, Emperor Xuansi said again
He raised his hand, pointed at the middle-aged general shivering in the corner next to him, and continued to ask: "Also, who is he, and why do you bring this person to see me?"
When the emperor pointed his finger at him, the middle-aged general was instantly startled. He knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "Your Majesty, Zou Shuisheng, the captain of the Kyoto Guards, is here to greet your majesty.
Ten thousand years!" After saying this, he didn't get up, he just lay on the ground, trembling all over.
This was his first time to meet a saint... Although half a year ago, when the emperor went to worship heaven, as one of the guards who protected the emperor, he had secretly seen the emperor's face, but it was from a long distance away.
, and now, he was brought into the palace inexplicably, entered the royal study room inexplicably, and even met the saint inexplicably. He was worried whether the ancestral graves at home had been burned to ashes at this moment...
When Emperor Xuansi heard this, he looked impatient. A school captain? A seventh- or eighth-grade officer was brought to see me. Isn't this nonsense...
But Yan Bing was still of great use to him. He had to give her face no matter what, so he could only bite the bullet and said patiently: "Get up..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lieutenant Zou stood up slowly, stepped aside, and continued to stand there shivering, murmuring excitedly in his heart: Dad, Mom, uncles, aunts, aunts and uncles! Shui Sheng has made a difference!! Shui Sheng has been blessed today!
!!Ahahahahahahaha...!!!
"Your Majesty, the daughter of the people came here to present another treasure to Your Majesty." Yan Bing said slowly with a mysterious smile on his face.
"Oh?" Emperor Xuansi immediately became interested. The treasure presented by this little girl must be something extraordinary. He quickly asked: "What kind of treasure is it? Bring it to me to see."
Yan Bing bowed and then said: "Your Majesty, Rong Minnu must first explain the origin of the treasure clearly, and then she can explain the function of this treasure to Your Majesty..."
Emperor Xuan Si's curiosity was aroused by Yan Bing, and he lost all sleep in an instant. He waved his hand and said, "Stop talking, I'm listening."
Yan Bing straightened up and spoke loudly.
He told how his friends were bullied, how he rescued him, who he met, where they came from, and what they said. He also emphatically praised Zou Shuisheng's heroic deeds and highly affirmed them.
….
Emperor Xuansi nodded repeatedly, but when he talked about how Zou Shuisheng cursed Haowei, Emperor Xuansi slapped the coffee table and suddenly shouted: "Nonsense!!"
Yan Bing, who was talking happily, was instantly startled by Emperor Xuan Si's angry rebuke and quickly lowered his head.
Captain Zou, who had originally listened with pride, was frightened out of his wits by the emperor's sudden anger, and fell to his knees again, shaking like chaff.
Emperor Xuansi's chest heaved violently with anger. He slapped the table and said sternly: "After all, he is also a foreign envoy! You, you treat him like this! Aren't you afraid of provoking a war between the two countries!" Emperor Xuansi said more fiercely.
The angrier he got, the more he grabbed the tea bowl on the table and threw it to the ground to vent his anger.
But this roar, coupled with the cup smashing, instantly attracted a group of guards who pushed the door open and entered.
The leader looked at Emperor Xuansi, bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, do you have any wishes?"
It means asking if these two people should be dealt with.
Emperor Xuansi's face turned dark, his beard trembled slightly with anger, he waved his hand and shouted angrily: "Get out! You are not allowed to come in without my will!"
Several guards hurriedly walked out of the imperial study and closed the door tightly.
In fact, the reason why Emperor Xuansi was so angry was not because he was afraid of Saxon, because he didn't know where this Saxon was.
The main thing is that Daliang himself is now at risk of facing a two-front war. He spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to send the envoys to the Varo Kingdom in the Western Regions just to avoid this risk. The result was good.
After seeing the results, Yan Bing poked him into another trap. How could he not be angry!?
At this moment, Zou Shuisheng's face was bloodless, his soul had left his body, and he collapsed directly on the ground. If he hadn't been afraid of losing etiquette in front of the palace and used his last bit of reason to control the "faucet", he might have peed his pants long ago...
But Yan Bing didn't know all of this. She just heard that there was a war in the north and knew who they were. However, the war and intelligence in the Western Region were absolutely confidential, and she knew nothing about it.
But this does not mean that Yan Bing has nothing to say. After all, her character cannot bear to suffer.
"Your Majesty, please calm down and forgive me..." Yan Bing bowed again and said in a pleading tone.
"Speak!" Emperor Xuansi said angrily, then he gathered up the messy sleeves of his robe and waved to the eunuch who was kneeling on the ground. The eunuch immediately understood and poured the emperor a new cup of tea.
"Your Majesty, before I came here, I had heard from my friends that this person has been in Liang for a year, but he has been building workshops and doing business. I dare to ask Your Majesty, has anyone ever called himself
Is it the Saxon envoy who has come to see His Majesty?"
Emperor Xuansi was stunned when he heard this, thought for a while, raised his head and said, "No."
With this answer, Yan Bing immediately confirmed his guess and continued: "Then, Your Majesty, since this person came to our country of Liang in the name of diplomacy but has never met in person, what is his purpose?"
After saying that, Yan Bing suddenly remembered the unpleasantness of the morning, quickly put away the charade, and continued to add: "By doing this, this person either despises His Majesty, or he despises Liang! Don't cut off your alliance with me! There is a conspiracy.
The heart of the country! Therefore, Your Majesty, Captain Zou’s move is to safeguard the majesty of Your Majesty and our Liang Kingdom, Your Majesty!"
After listening to Yan Bing's words, Emperor Xuan Si remained silent and seemed to be deep in thought...
After a while, Emperor Xuansi raised his head and said: "Tingfeng! Zou..., what is Zou?"
"It's Zou Shuisheng, Your Majesty." Yan Bing hurriedly said. She knew that Captain Zou must be numb at this moment and couldn't react, so she answered for him.
"Oh, Zou Shuisheng, I remember that you are loyal to the emperor and patriotic. In order to protect the majesty of our beam, regardless of life and death, I hereby appoint you as the right guard army commander as a reward."
After hearing this, Zou Shuisheng was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly kowtowed and was about to thank him, but he heard Emperor Xuansi say again: "Of course, your loyalty and bravery can be commended, but you should also be ignored for your recklessness and perverseness in diplomatic etiquette."
As a punishment, after leaving the palace, you must go to the military camp to get twenty military sticks, so that you can remember them for a long time!"
After listening to this, Zou Shuisheng was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he was so happy that his front teeth almost fell out.
Twenty military sticks!? He was directly promoted from the eighth-grade captain to the fifth-grade right guard officer!! So these twenty military sticks are still a p!? At most, he can’t get out of bed for half a month, which is just right.
I have an excuse to go home and enjoy the scenery!!
Zou Shuisheng, who had thought about all this, hurriedly lay down on the ground and shouted: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, I am willing to be ruined for Your Majesty, and my body and reputation will be ruined..., ah, no..., my body..., my body...,"
Yan Bing held back his laughter and reminded him gently: "I will be shattered into pieces, and I will give my body to the country..."
"Yes! Yes! Shatter your body to pieces! Give yourself to the country!! Come and repay the emperor's kindness!!!" After Zou Shuisheng finished speaking, he kowtowed three times on the ground. The power was so powerful that even Emperor Xuansi frowned.
.
It's not that he's afraid that this guy will knock him to death, he just feels sorry for his gold brick...
"Get up," Emperor Xuansi waved his hand, and the eunuch beside him stepped forward and helped Zou Shuisheng, who was kneeling on the ground and had begun to shed tears.
Emperor Xuansi looked at Zou Shuisheng who was already crying and his face was full of snot and tears. He chuckled and said in his heart: That's all, he is a simple and honest man... If he gets promoted, he will be promoted...
Turning to look at Yan Bing, he said in a long voice with a disdainful tone that had already seen through her intentions: "Qihua, you should also get up. I will help you set the benchmark you want to set.
You have also worked hard for the country and the people, now tell me about the treasure you want to offer."
Yan Bing smiled secretly, it would be easier to deal with smart people.
So he stood up happily, took out something from his arms, and handed it to Emperor Xuansi...
Emperor Xuan Si looked at the short stick that was half iron and half wood in Yan Bing's hand. He frowned and thought for a long time. He couldn't figure it out. He could only ask patiently: "What is this??"
"Your Majesty, this is called a fire gun!!" After Yan Bing finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Emperor Xuan Si with a smile.
