Chapter 417: Shangshu enters the palace, the emperor laughs
The chess game was in full swing when suddenly, Wang Quan quietly walked in.
"Your Majesty, news came from Lin'an Mansion that a special envoy from the Kingdom of Jin came to pay homage to Your Majesty!"
The chess piece in his hand paused for a moment, Zhao Shen's face was filled with astonishment, "Special envoy?"
What kind of special envoy, my dear, have there been any envoys from the Kingdom of Jin to the Song Dynasty recently?"
Shi Hao shook his head, "I have never heard of it."
"His Majesty!"
Wang Quan on the side spoke again, "It is said that the letter from the Emperor of Jin was sent under the order of the Emperor of Jin. It was not an official envoy, so there is no news..."
Zhao Shen was stunned again, "What is this Jin Kingdom doing?
letter?"
He shook his head helplessly. No matter what the purpose was, whether it was a letter or a decree, we had to meet him after all.
"Well, just bring him in. Since it is a private visit, there is no need to hold a court meeting. You can just bring him here directly."
Zhao Shen said.
The Song Dynasty was a state of etiquette. If a Jin Dynasty envoy came, they would be greeted by the Ministry of Etiquette, and the emperor would also hold a court meeting.
However, since it is not a formal visit, it is okay.
"Your Majesty, I retire!"
Shi Hao stood up, saluted Zhao Shen and said.
"There is no need for this. I don't know what the Golden Emperor wants to do. It just so happens that Aiqing is here to accompany me to meet this so-called special envoy. If anything happens, you can give me some advice."
When Shi Hao heard this, he nodded, "Old minister, I obey!"
The two continued to play until the game was finally over, and the royal power came back again.
"Your Majesty, the special envoy from the Kingdom of Jin is here!"
"Let him in!"
A moment later, under the guidance of Wang Quan, Pusanzhuo stepped into the main hall.
"My lord, servant Sanzhuo of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Kingdom of Jin, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!"
Seeing Zhao Shen, Pu Sanzhuo immediately saluted respectfully, his face full of respect.
Pu Sanzhuo's respect obviously made Zhao Shen very satisfied.
After all, Jin envoys had always been domineering in the Song Dynasty. Even if they scolded the emperor in the main hall, this kind of thing had not never happened.
And Pu Sanzhuo's behavior naturally represents the Jin Kingdom's attitude towards him.
"Jin Envoy, you don't need to be polite, please take a seat! This is me, Shi Hao Shi Aiqing of the Great Song Dynasty!"
Zhao Shen said harmoniously.
Pu Sanzhuo turned around and saluted Shi Hao again, "I have seen Shi Hao. I have heard about the name of Shi Hao for a long time. I am really lucky to see him today."
"Your Majesty, by order of His Majesty the Emperor of our country, I sent a letter to Your Majesty, so I came here to pay my respects."
After saying that, he took out a letter and handed it to Wang Quan beside him, and then he bowed and sat on the Jindun.
Zhao Shen did not rush to read the letter, but asked Pu Sanzhuo, "Now that your two countries, at the request of thousands of subjects, have finally succeeded in peace talks, I hope that in the future, your two countries will be able to enjoy long-term peace and stability, and there will be no sudden rise." fighting."
When Pu Sanzhuo heard this, he immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty is kind-hearted and I respect you.
Our Majesty thinks the same way. Now that the Song Dynasty and our Jin Kingdom are adjacent, they should be friendly and harmonious, which is in line with the wishes of the two countries and the people of the two countries."
The two chatted nonsense, and then Zhao Shen picked up the letter on the side and opened it to read.
After a while, Zhao Shen finished reading the letter and put it aside. Then, his face looked a little weird again!
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Shen said: "The envoy from Jin came all the way, so he will rest for a few days. I will think about the matter mentioned by your emperor before I make a decision."
Pu Sanzhuo didn't say much, he just bowed to Zhao Shen and left with the royal power.
After the two left, Zhao Shen suddenly burst into laughter.
"My dear, what did you, the Golden Emperor, say in your letter?"
Looking at Shi Hao with a strange look on his side, Zhao Shen said.
Shi Hao smiled bitterly, "I don't know, but judging from His Majesty's expression, it shouldn't be a bad thing."
Zhao Shen nodded, "It is indeed not a strange thing, but it is interesting!"
"Then the Jin Emperor actually mentioned that their war in Xijing has ended, and said that our Shen Zhuangyuan had made great contributions to them. He hereby made Shen Zhuangyuan the General of Fengguo of their Jin Kingdom."
"What?"
Shi Hao was 'shocked' when he heard this.
"Your Majesty, this is a plan of the Jin Kingdom to sow discord. Mr. Shen is loyal to the country, how could he..."
Zhao Shen waved his hand and stopped Shi Hao's words, "How could I not see it?
The Golden Emperor's method is just that, just sowing discord. How could I fall into the trap?
Moreover, I told you a few days ago that as long as you do not disappoint me, I will definitely not disappoint you. Do you think that is just a word?"
"Our Shen Zhuangyuan is a hero of our Song Dynasty. How could I dig my own grave?"
"The so-called General Feng Guo is only half true and half false! Our Shen Zhuangyuan must have indeed done something to attract the Golden Emperor's great attention.
However, if you want to be named a third-grade general, I'm afraid it's not enough.
However, in order to embarrass me, they gave us the title of Shen Zhuangyuan..." Zhao Shen said with a smile.
"However, this is normal! Our Shen Zhuangyuan is just a general from Wenquxing. Can't I afford it?"
"What makes me laugh is something else."
Zhao Shen turned around and said.
"The Emperor of the Jin Kingdom has a princess, who is the daughter of Wanyan Hao, the current manager of Daming Mansion. It is said that this princess is extremely favored by the Jin Emperor, and even the princes and daughters in the palace are far less favored.
Last time, Zhang Jun said that our Shen Zhuangyuan was actually favored by the princess. At that time, I thought it was a rumor, but in this letter, the Golden Emperor complained a lot about me, even more so. I hate our champion so much..."
"Hahaha..." After saying what he was proud of, Zhao Shen couldn't help laughing again.
While smiling, he picked up the letter and went directly to Shi Hao's side.
"You see, the Golden Emperor said that Shen Tang followed their army to Xijing. As a result, the princess disappeared that day. Only on the second day did he find out that the princess actually went directly to the west and followed us secretly. Shen Zhuangyuan eloped."
"Hahaha……"
"You are looking here, our Shen Zhuangyuan is in Xijing, accompanying this princess all day long.
Hey, don’t tell me, our Shen Zhuangyuan is talented in literature and martial arts, so it’s only natural that he should be favored by their princess, right?”
Zhao Shen's face was full of smiles.
"Also, I have canonized his wife before, her name seems to be Liu Xiangling?
Are you still close to the eldest lady of the Shao family?"
have to……
In excitement, Zhao Shen went straight to the building.
"The funniest thing is here. You see, now that our champion Shen has returned, not only is he sent off by a hundred thousand troops, but the princess is following him step by step. She is about to come directly to our Song Dynasty... Hahaha……"
