Ye Hongxue was worried, but Zhao Kang seemed unusually calm, with a warm smile on his lips as he walked towards the Golden Chariot step by step.
Jingdi Wu Rulong, as the number one master of martial arts in Jingguo, his cultivation level is still higher than that of Ye Hongxue, and his eyesight is beyond anyone's reach.
From the moment Zhao Kang entered the city, he clearly saw Zhao Kang in his eyes.
Like the previous officials' reaction, Wu Rulong was full of surprise.
So young!
Beside him was a young man wearing a bright yellow python robe. His handsome appearance gave off an elegant and easy-going atmosphere.
Wu Guanhai, Prince of Jingguo.
"That father is the Imperial Master of the Qian Kingdom, Zhao Kang?"
Wu Rulong nodded: "You can't be wrong, it's true that heroes come from young."
"I've been fascinated by it for a long time, and I finally got to see it today."
Wu Guanhai smiled warmly and looked at Zhao Kang with eyes full of joy. During this period, he continued to study Zhao Kang's poem about chrysanthemums and admired Zhao Kang's literary talent very much.
Especially the last two sentences, "If I were the Qing Emperor in his time, I would bloom with peach blossoms in my arms," which left Wu Guanhai with endless aftertaste.
Seeing Zhao Kang walking in step by step, Baiguan put away his curiosity.
Arriving twenty steps away from Longzhu, Zhao Kang stood still, bowed and saluted: "Master of the State of Qian, Zhao Kang has met His Majesty Emperor Jing."
Whether he is an official of the State of Qian or a counselor of the State, he does not need to bow before the Empress, and naturally he does not need to kneel before the Emperor of the State of Jing.
Wu Rulong laughed and stretched out his hand: "There is no need to be polite to the Imperial Preceptor. I have heard Mr. Ye mention the Imperial Preceptor for a long time. Today I finally get to meet him. I am really surprised and happy."
"Your Majesty is so complimentary." Zhao Kang said with a smile.
Such a humble appearance made Wu Rulong, who was born as a martial artist, even more happy. People who learn martial arts must be arrogant, but they are also most taboo about arrogance and arrogance.
Zhao Kang is talented, but he doesn't rely on his talent and is arrogant. This character is very suitable for him.
"Come here, get off the sedan chair for the Imperial Preceptor!"
A sedan chair that could only be used by the royal family of Jing Kingdom was carried and placed in front of Zhao Kang. The old eunuch respectfully said: "Please get on the sedan chair, Master."
"Excuse me, father-in-law."
Everyone returned to the palace together, and the welcoming team slowly dispersed.
In order to welcome Zhao Kang, the people in the outer city were even banned today.
After arriving in the palace in a sedan, Zhao Kang temporarily rested in the side hall and waited for the summons.
Above the main hall.
Wu Rulong took the lead in holding a regular meeting and asked: "What do you think of Zhao Kang?"
Prime Minister Chen Kai took the lead and said: "He is humble and courteous, as gentle as a gentleman and as gentle as jade. He is worthy of being a man who can defeat Zhang Sheng."
"This person has a noble status as a national master, but he can still show respect to the eunuchs who carry the sedan chair. Although he is young, he has a calm demeanor. He is an extraordinary person."
Officials one after another talked about their first impressions of Zhao Kang, and they were all good.
Chen Kai added: "It's a pity that this person has become the national master of Qian Kingdom. Otherwise, if he can be used by our country, I am afraid it will be a blessing for our country."
"With the help of this person, the future development of Qian Country cannot be underestimated. There is no harm in forming an alliance with Qian Country at this moment."
Wu Rulong and Wu Guanhai, father and son, both nodded. The former smiled and said: "Okay, come here, summon Zhao Kang."
"The national master of Chuanqian Kingdom, Zhao Kang!"
Finally, when he was summoned, Zhao Kang came out of the side hall, and his followers led the eunuch to the main hall of the court meeting.
After bowing again and seeing Emperor Jing, he straightened up.
Wu Rulong asked with a smile: "We already know the general purpose of the National Preceptor's visit. I don't know that the National Preceptor is here to form an alliance on behalf of the Qian Kingdom. I don't know how the alliance will be formed. Can you elaborate on the details?"
Zhao Kang thought about the few clips he had seen in his previous life and said with a smile: "The bustling world is all for profit, and the temples and camps are all for fame."
"The alliance is naturally for the benefit of both countries."
"oh?"
Wu Guanhai couldn't help it for a moment. He looked at Zhao Kang, who had been fascinated for a long time, and asked with a smile: "Master Imperial Master, today among the four kingdoms in the north, Zhou is the strongest, followed by Qi. Our Jingguo is competing with Qianguo. weak."
"If there is a mutual alliance, it will inevitably make Zhou and Qi unhappy. Where will the benefits come from?"
Wu Rulong did not stop the prince from asking questions, although they all knew that this alliance was a good thing for both countries.
But what exactly are the advantages and whether the benefits can be seen or not, no one can tell for a while.
So those who wanted to form an alliance asked Zhao Kang to explain.
Zhao Kang was as steady as an old dog without any trace of panic: "His Royal Highness, you have a good question. Among the four northern countries, none of us has the power to destroy the country, and no country dares to have the intention of destroying the country."
"When a country is in danger, all countries will inevitably attack together. In this case, if our country is destroyed, may I ask His Highness who their next target will be?"
Wu Guanhai sighed in his heart, Zhao Kang didn't need Zhao Kang to know the answer well for everyone here.
Although Jingguo is stronger than Qianguo, its strength is limited, and female soldiers are indeed inferior to male soldiers on the battlefield.
If it weren't for the fact that Jingguo was a martial artist, I'm afraid Jingguo would still be inferior to Qianguo.
Zhao Kangdao: "This is a benefit. There is no big contradiction between Qianguo and Jingguo. I believe you all understand the so-called lips and teeth."
After Chen Kai thought for a moment, he asked: "Then I dare to ask, Sir, what other benefits are there besides this one?"
Zhao Kang said with a smile: "Of the four countries in the north, our country of Qian and your country are the closest. Since ancient times, alliances made for the sake of reconciliation have never ended well, and alliances made for the purpose of armistice have never ended in war."
"If Qian Jing forms an alliance, he can block Qi from close range and repel Zhou from far away. In addition, I, Zhao Kang, can give your majesty and other gentlemen a reassurance."
Everyone immediately pricked up their ears.
Just listen to Zhao Kangdao: "The Yunshan mineral vein is within the territorial limits of our two countries, Qianjing. It will be mined by our two countries and divided equally."
The words made everyone’s eyelids jump wildly!
This is a visible benefit. One official could not hold back his excitement: "What the Imperial Master said is true!"
Wu Rulong coughed when he saw this, you should be more f*cking careful.
Zhao Kang smiled and said: "Of course it is true. Her Majesty, the Empress of our country, has already written this into the alliance letter."
"When our two countries finish mining, we on the side of Qi can also divide it. This is the sincerity of Qian."
Even Wu Rulong was a little excited now, but it was not over yet.
Zhao Kang added: "In addition, I have a method that can smelt iron and steel. The steel made by this method can be used to make swords, which are far three times sharper than current weapons."
"Our country, Qian, has already begun experiments. As long as there is enough iron ore, such weapons can be produced in unlimited quantities. If Qian Jing forms an alliance, he can also have such weapons."
I can't bear it anymore!
Wu Rulong was roaring in his heart, and immediately said: "Master National Preceptor, where is the alliance letter? I will sign the alliance right now and be friends with your country forever!"
Zhao Kang curled his lips and smiled. Ye Hongxue's heart skipped a beat when she saw this smile.
Sure enough, the next moment I heard Zhao Kang say: "Your Majesty is decisive, Zhao Kang admires it, but I, Zhao Kang, also have a condition for this alliance."
Wu Rulong said quickly: "Don't say one, I will promise you even ten."
"I want someone's life."
Everyone was shocked.
"who?"
"The third son of Xu Ning, Lord Protector of Jingguo, Xu Qing!"
