Chapter 130 Messenger
In a blink of an eye, it was already May 15th, and Zhe Yanzhi had not arrived in Hanzhong City yet!
In the Zhe Mansion, Zhe Yanwen became a little anxious and said, "Father, it's already this time. There are still five days left to get my sister's wedding. Why hasn't he returned yet?"
Zhe Keqiu said: "I just got the news that there was a problem with the road from Hanzhong to Sichuan!"
Zhe Yanwen was stunned and said, "There is a problem with the road? What is the problem?"
Zhe Keqiu said: "A plank road leading to Sichuan and Shu fell down, and the road was blocked. Therefore, people from Sichuan and Shu cannot come to Hanzhong, and people from Hanzhong cannot go to Sichuan and Shu! Only after you make a pass, your brother can come to Hanzhong!"
Zhe Yanwen frowned and said, "How could such a thing happen?"
Zhe Keqiu said: "Maybe it was because of the heavy rain a few days ago! A rocky landslide!"
Zhe Yanwen said: "My sister gets married, but her second brother doesn't return! On the day of her wedding, she will definitely be sad!"
Zhe Keqiu shook his head and said, "There is no way. This is a strange disaster from heaven. No matter how capable your second brother has, it is difficult for him to fly over the plank road and come to Hanzhong!"
Zhe Yanwen sighed and said, "Now, the second brother will be able to arrive after the wedding!"
Zhe Keqiu nodded and stopped discussing this topic, but said, "Yang Shi, Zhao Ding and others have arrived in Hanzhong. What are their changes recently?"
Zhe Yanwen said: "They wander around the streets and alleys of Hanzhong City every day, and occasionally visit some Hanzhong ministers, and they don't do anything too much!"
Zhe Keqiu thought for a moment and said, "The Jurchens came to Hanzhong City. What are they doing now?"
Zhe Yanwen said: "After the Jurchens arrived in Hanzhong City, they almost never left the inn! They are the feud of our Han people. If they leave the inn, they are afraid that our Han people will not be spared! At that time, even with the heavy protection of our Zhe family army, they will probably not be able to escape and die!"
Zhe Keqiu smiled and said, "They are now messengers! The two countries are fighting, and they will be sent to the envoys if they are not killed! You must protect their safety!"
Zhe Yanwen nodded and said, "Don't worry, Father!"
Zhe Keqiu walked towards the window and looked outside, feeling proud and full of heart. Everything was under his control. A smug smile appeared on his face!
*******
At this moment, in the inn in Hanzhong City, Yang Shi and Zhao Ding were sitting at the table, drinking tea!
They walked outside for an afternoon and returned to the inn until dusk!
"Zhao Ding, we are wandering around in Hanzhong City these days and heard a lot of discussions from the people! Without exception, the people all think that Zhao Chen is a peerless fool! Almost everyone thinks that Zhe Keqiu is a huge traitor! Originally, Zhao Chen was the crown prince who succeeded the throne and had the imperial seal in hand. It can be said that he inherited the country with a legitimate inheritance. The people in the world are all in him! But now he is so rebellious, I am afraid that the people will disdain him! Even in Hanzhong City, there are people who yearn for Emperor Jianyan!" Yang Shi said excitedly.
"Mr. Yang is right! By the way, Mr. Yang, I want to meet Emperor Xuanwu before his wedding!" Zhao Ding said.
"See him? Why? We just need to deliver the gift from Emperor Jianyan to his hands. Why should we meet this foolish emperor!" Yang Shi said.
"I want to convince him!" Zhao Ding said.
"Convince him?" Yang Shi was stunned again.
"Now, Zhe Ke asked for power, Emperor Xuanwu was probably greatly oppressed! He was afraid that he had already regretted the decision that day! Therefore, I want to pay a visit to him and persuade him to abdicate. This is a good thing that is beneficial to the military and civilians in the world!" Zhao Ding said.
"Not bad! Lord Zhao is still wise. I am convinced by you today!" Yang Shi said with a smile.
Zhao Ding also laughed, but he quickly shook his head! He knew that Yang Shi was famous but not talented, and had a irritable personality. He immediately advised: "Mr. Yang, after you arrive at the palace tomorrow, sir, don't say much, I will persuade Emperor Xuanwu!"
Yang Shi was stunned, his face a little unhappy, but he still nodded and said, "Okay!"
The next morning, they both entered the Hanzhong Palace after reporting!
The two walked through the Hall of Supreme Harmony and headed towards the Ganqing Palace behind!
At this moment, there are also lights and decorations in the palace, and countless guards and palace maids are busy in the palace, and the entire palace is also in a lively scene!
"Damn it, you are unwilling to surrender to Emperor Jianyan. It's a crime to die! It would be best if you can persuade you today. If you can't persuade you, by the future, when Emperor Jianyan's army arrives, you will have only one way to die!" Yang Shi said secretly.
From the Hall of Supreme Harmony to the Hall of Zhonghe, from the Hall of Zhonghe to Baohe Hall, after passing the Hall of Baohe, they finally arrived at the Ganqing Palace behind!
Here, they saw more guards and palace maids!
The two of them stayed here for a while. A tall and thin middle-aged man with a white face and no beard came to them and said in an extremely sharp voice: "Your Majesty Xuan Yang Shi, Zhao Ding will meet you!"
Yang Shi glanced at the middle-aged man coldly and snorted coldly: "Die eunuch!"
The middle-aged man was Lin Bao, and Lin Bao's face turned red! Since he became a eunuch and entered the palace, he has always been arrogant! Even if someone looks down on him, he dares not say to him in front of him! Now Yang Shi is the first person to say that!
Lin Bao tightly grasped his fist, gritted his teeth and followed Yang Shi, and Zhao Ding entered the palace!
After Yang Shi and Zhao Ding entered the palace, they saw an extremely surprised scene! A young man was very handsome, his figure surpassed his peers, and his expression was extremely focused! However, the object of this focus was a piece of wood! The young man was wearing a dragon robe and carving a piece of wood in his hand! The boy ignored their arrival!
"You two are not paying homage to Your Majesty?" Lin Bao shouted in a sharp and thin voice.
"Nonsense! We are the ministers of Emperor Jianyan! Emperor Xuanwu is just a hypocrite. How could we meet a hypocrite?" Yang Shi was full of disdain!
Zhao Ding frowned. After thinking about it, he still bent down and bowed, saying, "Zhao Ding, Jiangnan, Yang Shi, meet Emperor Xuanwu!"
Zhao Chen is still focusing on carpentry, but still doesn't say a word!
Zhao Ding was stunned, and Yang Shi was also stunned!
"Your Majesty is working hard! When your Majesty finishes his work, you can meet your Majesty again!" Lin Bao sneered.
Lin Bao didn't bring chairs to these two people, so he let them stand there!
A quarter of an hour passed, Zhao Chen was still focusing on carpentry! Half an hour passed, Zhao Chen was still focusing on carpentry! Gradually, it was already an hour, Yang Shi was already unstable, and a layer of sweat appeared on Zhao Ding's forehead! At this moment, Zhao Chen finally put down the wood carving in his hand. He looked at Yang Shi in surprise, Zhao Ding said, "Hey! Why are there two more people in this Ganqing Palace?"
Yang Shi, Zhao Ding was amused and crying, Lin Baomei smiled and said, "Your Majesty, they have been here for a long time!"
Zhao Chen looked at Lin Bao with some displeasure and said, "This is Mr. Yang and Lord Zhao? They have been here when I ascended the throne! This time, they must be celebrating my wedding! They are guests, how can you let them stand here? You haven't even entertained them to sit down!"
Lin Bao hurriedly slapped himself in the mouth and smiled charmingly: "I know my guilt! I will let them take the seat now!"
Lin Bao ordered people to bring a chair, and the two of them finally sat down! Yang Shi's legs were sore and numb, and his heart was extremely angry. He angrily said, "Emperor Xuanwu, are you deliberately spending us?"
Zhao Chen was stunned and said, "Discuss you? How do you say this?"
Yang Shi said: "It has been an hour since we came here, and you were actually staring at a piece of wood! You are so ignorant that you deserve to die!"
Before Zhao Chen could speak, Lin Bao was already furious and said, "Damn it, Your Majesty is the Lord of Nine Five. What's wrong with letting you stand there and wait for a moment? Do you dare to say that Your Majesty deserves to die? Come on, drag this old thing down and kill it!"
After Lin Bao said that, several guards rushed in immediately. The guards were about to grab Yang Shi's arm. Yang Shi was shocked and trembled all over and said, "No...No..."
After this moment, he couldn't speak and could only spit out the word "no"!
"Emperor Xuanwu, please forgive me!" Zhao Ding stood up hurriedly and said.
"You just saw me and didn't kneel down. Is there anything wrong?" Zhao Chen smiled and said.
"Ah!" Zhao Ding was stunned!
After thinking about it, Zhao Ding finally knelt down and bowed to Zhao Chen three times! Yang Shi trembled for a while, and knelt down and bowed to Zhao Chen three times!
"Okay! Let's spare his life! What are you doing? Tell me quickly! I'm going to get married, I'm busy every day, but I don't have time to chat with you!" Zhao Chen said.
Yang Shi and Zhao Ding felt unhappy at this moment! Since they arrived at this palace, they had not had time to persuade Zhao Chen, and they had already been at a loss by Zhao Chen!
"Do your Majesty know the situation in Hanzhong today?" Zhao Ding said after thinking about it.
"If you have anything to say, don't be careless! I don't want to listen to your words!" Zhao Chen said coldly.
"Your Majesty, please give up!" Zhao Ding said.
"Hmph! You must talk to others in everything! These people are my confidants. You can say whatever you want! Don't worry!" Zhao Chen said.
"Your Majesty, Zhe Keqiu's dictatorship, Your Majesty can only hide in the palace now! When Zhe Keqiu's daughter enters the palace, Zhe Keqiu will become the father-in-law, but she is afraid she will become more powerful! At that time, Your Majesty will also act according to Zhe Keqiu's look! We are here to persuade Your Majesty to abdicate and respect Emperor Jianyan as the Emperor of the Song Dynasty! Emperor Jianyan will definitely not treat Your Majesty badly. At that time, Your Majesty is still the crown prince, wouldn't that be nice?" Zhao Ding looked at Lin Bao and several guards around him and had to bite the bullet.
"Nothing nonsense! Zhe Aiqing is loyal to me. I am unwilling to deal with state affairs. He handles state affairs for me. This is a loyalty matter. How can it be autocratic? Zhe Aiqing's daughter is beautiful and virtuous, and everyone in the northwest knows! When I marry Zhe Aiqing's daughter, Zhe Aiqing will definitely be more loyal to me! Is the two of you here just to slander Zhe Aiqing?" Zhao Chen said.
"Ah!" Zhao Ding and Yang Shi were stunned!
They thought Zhe Ke wanted dictatorship, but Zhao Chen must feel uncomfortable and wanted to resist. Unexpectedly, Zhao Chen actually said such a thing! Both of them were speechless at the moment!
"You two damn things, slander Lord Zhe! If you don't see that you are coming for Your Majesty's wedding, I will definitely let Your Majesty tear you two out of corpses! You are not welcome in this palace, so you should leave quickly!" Lin Bao said excitedly at this moment.
Lin Bao had a cold sweat just now. He was afraid that Zhao Chen would be convinced by these two people. Fortunately, Zhao Chen acted very "normal"! He thought that this little emperor was extremely stupid and hopeless! For such a little emperor, Zhe Keqiu does not need to be vigilant at all! However, he must tell Zhe Keqiu what happened in the palace today, so that he can win Zhe Keqiu's favor and get promoted and make money in the future!
Yang Shi, Zhao Ding left the palace and returned to the inn in the afternoon!
Yang Shi said: "This little emperor is hopeless! For his sake, we persuade him to abdicate, but he refused to agree!"
Zhao Ding shook his head and said, "The little emperor is indeed extremely stupid! Forget it, in the future, this world will be the world of Emperor Jianyan and Zhe Keqiu! This little emperor doesn't need to worry too much!"
Yang Shi nodded, and the two of them felt extremely unhappy, let’s not mention this!
*******
At this moment, in the room on the other side of the inn, Wanyan Huo’s girl was drinking with several centuries!
The Han people's winemaking skills far exceed those of the Jurchens, and the Han people's fine wine made them happy!
At this moment, Wanyan Huo’s girl and several centurions were a little drunk!
Wanyan Huowo said: "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty is a foolish monarch. Not to mention Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong, even if he is worse than his father and grandfather, he is far inferior to his father! Although his grandfather is stupid, he can't even control the government affairs now. He is a carpenter in the palace every day! Haha, haha, do you know what a carpenter is? That is the most humble job, the Han emperor is actually doing the most humble job!"
The centurions next to them laughed together!
