Jince Hall is an important palace where the Jin Kingdom of Khotan handles major state affairs, receives foreign envoys, and holds major court meetings.
Li Shengtian first waited in Wufeng Tower and then received him here, which was enough to show the importance he attached to this Guiyi Army envoy.
Old God Fanrun Ning walked forward holding the Jiedu envoy Jingjie who returned to the Yi army. Along the way, the aggrieved feeling of being forced to serve as a clerk for Zhang Zhao was wiped away. After all, he was the chief envoy, and as long as he arrived in Khotan City, Zhang Erlang also respected him.
But when the Panjie envoy was still following the etiquette with a complacent expression on his face, and was slowly walking forward with the chamberlain of the Khotan palace, a figure suddenly passed by him unexpectedly.
Zhang Zhao, who had already changed into a green robe, ran past Fan Runing quickly and wanted to see Li Shengtian. This was not the time to pay attention to who was the envoy!
Li Shengtian is the golden thigh that he will rely on in the next few years, why don't he hug him quickly?
"Uncle! Uncle! My nephew has finally met you! Uncle!" The feeling that Zhang Zhao had been brewing for two quarters of an hour suddenly burst out at this moment.
I thought that he, a good young man from the next generation, would be thrown into this chaotic world of cannibalism, sleeping on a hard bed, not even being able to drink the happy water in the fat house, and not even being able to eat the stick fried chicken that he despised before.
Not to mention game movies. Apart from being able to stage real-person death battles every day and not being short of women, there is nothing else. As a little nobleman here, the quality of life can't keep up with when he went to college.
bitter! What a bitter experience! Zhang Zhao burst into tears.
At the entrance of Jince Palace, two Khotan warriors wearing gorgeous golden armor were about to grab Zhang Zhao, but he dodged in a blink of an eye.
As soon as he entered the main hall, Zhang Zhao rushed towards the fat Khotanese man on the throne!
Just when Li Shengtian panicked and wanted to call for escort, he knelt on the ground with a thud and raised a letter and a worn-out piece of gold in his hand above his head.
Li Shengtian waved his hand to the pursuing warriors to retreat, his eyes fixed on the broken piece of gold in Zhang Zhao's hand. The king of a country almost ran down from the throne in a few steps.
In an instant, Li Shengtian, who had been the emperor of Khotan for almost twenty years, seemed to have returned to many years ago.
'Brother! Why did you write in your thousand-character essay that you have to give up the throne and give up the country? There are Yu Tao and Tang. To punish the people and punish crimes, where is Zhou Fa Yin Tang? Come and write quickly! never mind! Sister, help you write a few paragraphs, and the adults will come to check. '
A woman wearing a skirt hurriedly opened the door and walked in. She looked at the writing on the desk and only wrote a few lines. She quickly sat down and started writing imitatingly.
'Sir, don't punish my brother. He is weak and can't bear it. If you are still angry, just beat the slave! '
'You think I won't hit you! You are the eldest sister, and you are also responsible for your brother's mistakes! '
Li Shengtian seemed to still be able to feel the crackling sound of his father swinging the cane.
'Brother! I'm leaving! Give half of your Rat King Pendant to my sister! If I miss you in Dunhuang in the future, I can take a look at this pendant. '
'Brother! It’s great to hear that you got a princess! When Xun'er grows up, let them get closer and closer! '
Li Shengtian took out a piece of gold that was also old and broken from his arms. The two pieces of gold clicked together to form a rat-faced human statue wearing a crown.
"This golden rat king statue was given to me by my sister when I was young. Later, when she went to Dunhuang, I kept the body of the rat king statue and gave the rat king head to my sister!"
Li Shengtian slowly looked at Zhang Zhao who was kneeling on the ground and said. Zhang Zhao suddenly realized that he suddenly remembered that Khotan seemed to have the habit of worshiping the Rat King.
Suddenly, a few tears spewed out from Li Shengtian's eyes. They were really spewing, not flowing out.
Zhang Zhao had only seen blood spurting out from wounds before, but he didn't expect tears to spurt out.
But the King of Khotan didn't seem to care. He held the statue of the Rat King and didn't wipe the tears on his face, but murmured to himself.
"You are the emperor, but you don't even have the chance to see your relatives! My sister has been trapped in Dunhuang for twenty-three years. I wonder if she is still happy now?"
"My mother is still in good health. When my nephew went to see her three years ago, my mother was making rice wine, using good glutinous rice from Jiangnan East Road.
She also said that after five years of storage, she asked someone to bring it to her uncle to satisfy his craving. My mother said that when my uncle was a child, he liked to drink this kind of rice wine warm with icing sugar and tangerine peel! "
Zhang Zhao thought about the words and decided to use the word "understanding and greed", which should best fit Li Shengtian's state of mind at this time.
Sure enough, when he heard the word "satisfaction", Li Shengtian's eyes shone with admiration.
"My mother passed away when I was still in infancy. Only my sister, who is seven years older than me, took care of me and cared for me the most!"
Can your mother carry you? "
Li Shengtian suddenly asked Zhang Zhao. After Zhang Zhao was stunned for a moment, he nodded slowly.
To be honest, his impression of his aunt, Princess Fengtian, was very vague. In his memory, he always felt that she was similar to the Bodhisattva games in the temple.
The only deep impression I have is that after the Cao family replaced Zhang, Princess Fengtian hugged him day and night, even while sleeping.
It wasn't until the Cao family smoothly took over the political power and had a stable position that there was no need to eradicate Zhang Zhao, then his biological mother, the Song family, selected Zhang Zhong and others to take him to Shouchang to avoid trouble.
Zhang Zhao nodded slowly. The original Zhang Zhao could not understand how thrilling that period was, but the current Zhang Zhao can understand.
A little baby of three or two years old, in that kind of chaos, would die. With the extremely high infant mortality rate at that time, it was not unusual.
Now that he thinks about it, he understands how dangerous it was during those days when his aunt, Princess Fengtian, would hug him even when sleeping. Without that warm embrace, Zhang Zhao would probably have died a long time ago!
Li Shengtian took out his handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and smiled kindly at Zhang Zhao.
"Until he was seven years old, he always liked having his sister carry him on his back. It can be said that he grew up on his sister's back."
No wonder Li Shengtian lost his composure and lost his mother just a few months after he was an infant. Considering that his father was the head of a country, he had many concubines and children, and he was even more busy with government affairs, so he probably didn't have much fatherly love to share with him.
Then, this eldest sister, who took over the role of mother, was most likely the only source of love he felt during his childhood.
"Uncle! If you miss your mother, please bring her from Dunhuang to Khotan! My nephew has not seen his mother for three years!"
Seeing that his emotions were in place, Zhang Zhao hugged Li Shengtian's thick thighs and burst into tears.
Fan Running's face changed drastically as he was left in the distance, and the several envoys who returned to the rebel army behind him also seemed to be facing an abyss.
No one could have imagined that the Emperor of Khotan was so fond of his eldest sister that Zhang Erlangjun wanted to provoke him. What should he do?
Li Shengtian had a very moved look on his face, but he held it back. He closed his eyes and reached out to pat Zhang Zhao's head gently.
"Although my uncle is the emperor, there are some things that he can't do anything about! It's up to you whether you can revive your Zhang family and whether you can get your mother out of the cage!"
Very good! Zhang Zhao couldn't help but tremble. The Guiyi Army and Khotan were both harmed and prosperous. As an emperor, no matter how much Li Shengtian felt sorry for his sister, he would never fall out with the Cao family.
But he can support Zhang Zhao and support Zhang Zhao to accumulate strength in Khotan. This is enough!
