The rain finally subsided, pattering and dripping, just like the pale rebuttal of the lip-synching group, which was very weak and made people feel uncomfortable all over.
At the end of the dynasty in Taiqian Hall, civil and military officials walked out of the hall one after another.
Many people saw King Yan Feng Wenyan standing there alone, and couldn't help but glance sideways, but didn't pay too much attention.
Who would have thought that the middle-aged man with his head lowered and plain clothes was the legendary King of Yan, and they thought he was a military force sent by Zhechong Prefecture, the state capital, to deliver military reports.
Just after the court ended, Lao Ba led Wen and Wu to Jingzhi Hall.
As soon as the emperor arrived and sat down at Jingzhi Hall, the eunuch informed him that Zhao Tai, the provincial minister under his command, asked to see him.
Lao Ba was waiting for this letter. Wen Wu nodded and the little eunuch ran out and brought Artai in.
Seeing that Zhao Tai was soaked, Lao Ba quickly said hypocritically: "How come Zhao Aiqing doesn't care about your body so much? You are the king of the country..."
Zhao Tai quickly saluted and interrupted: "His Royal Highness King Yan is in the palace."
"Has King Yan entered the palace?"
Lao Ba subconsciously asked: "Aren't you going to Bieyuan?"
"King Yan insisted on this. Not only did he not go to Bieyuan, but after entering the palace, he waited outside Taiqian Hall for a long time and has not yet seen Tianyan."
"What?"
Lao Ba was shocked and said: "How can you be so neglectful of King Zhao, civil and military, why don't you introduce it to the palace quickly? No, I will go in person!"
"Your Majesty, please wait."
Zhao Tai's face was filled with bitterness: "His Royal Highness, King Yan, is here to investigate. Although I don't know the reason, I found out from the conversation that King Zhao's visit to the capital seems to be related to Han You, the commander of the Yidao Guards."
Lao Ba was stunned. Seeing that things were so abnormal, he didn't worry anymore and asked Zhao Tai to explain the situation in detail.
Artai recounted everything he saw and heard. Lao Ba's brows were as furrowed as those of two mating earthworms.
"The King of Yan suspected that the Tian Family was jealous of the Prince of Yan's Mansion and that it was related to Han You..."
Zhou Ke tapped the desk gently, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper: "What do Zhao Aiqing think?"
"I can't figure it out. It's strange. Commander Han has no social relations with Prince Yan's palace. I don't know where he provoked Prince Yan, and he shouldn't have provoked Prince Yan."
"That's the slander of a villain."
Someone must be the emperor, so Lao Ba immediately guessed: "At the beginning of the year, many officials from the West were appointed to the capital, and these officials recommended several academic officials to the Imperial College, and the Imperial College offered wine Dongfang Jian hates Han You deeply, but I don’t know if it is related to this matter."
Zhao Tai took a deep look at Lao Ba, and even he didn't expect this.
"Civil and military."
"The old slave is here."
"Hold a palace banquet, no, let's hold the banquet in this Jingzhi Palace, take King Yan to my palace, change clothes and bathe for King Yan."
Wenwu's expression moved slightly: "Your Majesty, the imperial palace is your usual..."
"Just go when I ask you to go. There is so much nonsense. Tell King Yan that I provoked him, King Yan. Whether King Yan raised an army to investigate the crime, or the palace owed King Yan's house, he came to ask for an explanation. He was soaked in the rain. "What are you talking about? Clean yourself up, put on warm clothes, fill your stomach with me, and then talk about other state affairs."
"Old slave, go this way."
Wen Wu left in a hurry, and Zhao Tai saluted Lao Ba: "Your Majesty has extraordinary bearing, I admire you."
Lao Ba gave a wry smile, where does the lack of magnanimity come from? If any of the ministers tries to play this trick with him, go up and punch him first.
The lineage of Prince Yan's Mansion is very important, and Prince Yan is also important, but Prince Yan is not the only important thing in the world.
There happened to be a lot of information piled up on the desk, which was about the selection of talents for officials. Atai was a former minister of the Ministry of Personnel, so he was a professional counterpart. The monarch and his ministers began to chat about related government affairs.
Time passed unconsciously, and exactly half an hour later, Wen Wu came back, and King Yan Feng Wenyan was outside the palace, asking to see him.
Zhao Tai is a sensible person, and he didn't want to know too much about Han You, so he just found an excuse and resigned.
Atai left, and King Yan came in.
Feng Wenyan stepped out of the door, and the emperor stood up to greet him.
The location was just right and the distance was perfect. As soon as King Yan saluted him, the emperor had already lifted him up.
King Yan was horrified, his eyes were red, and he was about to burst into tears.
The emperor's tears were blurred, his expression was filled with emotion, and his face was moved.
Xiudun moved in, and King Yan finally took his seat after several refusals.
When the hot tea was served, the emperor was filled with emotion and his face was filled with joy.
The King of Yan called the Emperor Mingming, and everyone in the West called him Mingjun.
The emperor praised the king of Yan for his loyalty and bravery, and all the dynasties praised his wise king.
It is as if the monarch and his ministers have known each other for many years, and have known each other for several generations. You flatter me, you come and I go.
After sparring with each other for more than twenty moves, the emperor thought to himself, this guy who kills a thousand swords is really fucking hypocritical, and King Yan thought to himself, this bitch is really fucking good at pretending.
The two of them were smiling, and their eyes were facing each other. The air was ambiguous and warm, and their eyes were stringy and gluey.
The civil and military officials couldn't stand it any longer, so they hurriedly asked people to serve the banquet, and brought the food and wine.
As Han You became more and more able to make money, the palace became more wealthy, with fine wines and delicacies.
"Although I have become the Nine-Fiveth Supreme Being in a dragon robe now, I was also born in the military back then. I don't like red tape. If I were to have a night banquet with King Yan, accompanied by hundreds of officials, I would not feel comfortable coming to King Yan. Why not be in this hall today?" , how about I help King Yan wash away the dust."
"Thank you for your grace."
King Yan was also a happy man. Without saying a word, he grabbed the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
"Qing, the country has a wise king."
Lao Ba laughed loudly like a firecracker, and drank his whole drink in one gulp: "Okay, I also congratulate that this country has the lineage of the Yan Palace in the era of loyal and brave guarding the border for the country."
"My lord, I am willing to defend the borders of the Great Zhou Dynasty against foreign invaders, even if I die."
Lao Ba was stunned for a moment, and Wen Wu next to him also moved slightly.
King Yan's expression remained unchanged, still looking neither arrogant nor humble.
Lao Ba raised the wine glass again and said with a half-smile, "I am very happy to have obtained the lineage of Prince Yan's Mansion and the Feng Family to guard the border for the Great Zhou Dynasty."
King Yan picked up the cup and repeated again: "My lord, my lord, I am willing to defend the borders of Zhou Dynasty against foreign invaders, even if I die."
The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly changed. The Emperor and King Yan looked at each other. This time, not only was there no warmth and ambiguity, but there was also no camaraderie.
"In the previous dynasty, the lineage of the Yan Prince's Palace was hereditary and was not replaced. This was the case in the Kang Dynasty. It is the same in my Zhou Dynasty. It is hereditary and is not replaced."
"My lord, I am willing to defend the borders of the Great Zhou Dynasty against foreign invaders, even if I die."
The third time, I still repeated this sentence, I am willing to guard the border for the Great Zhou Dynasty, instead of being a member of the Yan Palace, guarding the border to resist foreign thieves.
If it was a slip of the tongue once, it was intentional twice, let alone three times, and it was repeated three times in succession.
Kings and ministers, even if it is not in a formal occasion, every word and every word should be carefully considered before uttering it.
The attitude of the King of Yan has been very clear. I, the King of Yan, Feng Wenyan, must be loyal to the Great Zhou and guard the border for the Great Zhou. However, it is only me, the King of Yan, Feng Wenyan, not my descendant.
"Feng Wenyan."
Lao Ba showed an inexplicable smile: "Are you...fucking deaf?"
King Yan laughed loudly, and then his smile faded: "Your Majesty, my Feng family is a single generation of three generations, and there is only one son in the house. I dare to ask Your Majesty, will Your Majesty return this son... or not!"
"Your son?" Lao Ba looked like an old subway man asking, "Why does your son care about me?"
King Yan Feng Wenyan stared at Lao Ba closely, not missing any change in his expression. After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After standing up, Feng Wenyan knelt down and said, "I know my mistake. I misunderstood Your Majesty. It's just that I'm such a dog. I can only ask for it from Your Majesty and hope that Your Majesty will fulfill it."
