A few days later, in Bianjing City, a large number of people were seen gathering on both sides of the main road from the south gate to the imperial city. As a large number of forbidden troops cleared the way, Zu Shiyuan and his party appeared in front of them.
“They are the envoys sent by Chu State??”
"good"
"That's His Royal Highness King Yun." When a surprised voice sounded, next to Zu Shiyuan, a man wearing royal robes, with extraordinary bearing and majestic eyes appeared in front of him. It was Da The third prince of Song Dynasty, King Yun Zhao Kai.
"It seems that the reception this time is much lower than when Prime Minister Wu arrived. When Prime Minister Wu arrived, the prince personally welcomed him."
"Of course, the Qi State is now the strongest among the three kingdoms, and it is officially canonized by the officials. Recently, an emperor is about to marry. In the heart of the court, it is naturally much more important than the Chu State!!"
"That's not necessarily the case." After hearing this, a scholar next to him shook his head and said: "His Royal Highness King Yun is the most favored prince of the official family. He once secretly participated in the imperial examination and was the top scholar in high school. This shows how outstanding his talent is. With His Royal Highness King Yun, In comparison, His Highness the Crown Prince seems a bit mediocre."
"This negotiation concerns Jiangnan, and I think the court also needs to treat it with caution."
Soon, when a group of people arrived outside a huge mansion, after everyone dismounted, Zhao Kai smiled and clasped his fists and said: "Prime Minister, my father will formally summon you tomorrow. You have traveled a long way and it must have been hard. Let's go ahead today. take a break!!"
"It's really helpful, Your Highness," Zu Shiyuan said gratefully.
"You're welcome." After Zhao Kai said, he looked at Song Hai, his eyes a little more gentle and said: "Master Ma, you may have to work harder, because the father wants to see you today, and of course the county host!!"
"Ah!!!" Song Hai's expression changed. Although he had experienced a lot now, he was still a little uneasy when he was suddenly asked to meet the emperor who once only existed in a distant place.
Seeing this scene, Fang Baihua immediately held Song Hai's slightly cold right hand and whispered, "Are we just the two of us??"
"Prime Minister Wu should be here too." After Zhao Kai said that, he also saw Song Hai's nervousness, and his tone suddenly became softer and said: "Master, don't be nervous, my father is very kind, and now the conflict between Qi State and the imperial court has been resolved. , Regarding the situation of the Commander-in-Chief, my father also knows very well that this time, the main thing is to show concern and condolences!!"
When Song Hai heard this, he took a breath, nodded and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."
"You're welcome, Lord Commander, please"
Song Hai nodded, looked at Zu Shiyuan and said: "Prime Minister, then I will go to meet the officials first."
"Relax, Lord Commander. You are not only the Marquis of Qi, but also the Commander and General of Chu State. Don't worry about anything. Even if it offends you, I'm sure the officials are kind and won't care." Zu Shiyuan He also said warmly.
"Thank you, ancestor"
When Qi Hai and Fang Baihua quickly boarded a carriage, Zhao Kai politely said again: "Everyone, I will take my leave now."
"Thank you, Your Highness"
After the three people left, Shen Shou looked at Zu Shiyuan and said seriously: "Prime Minister, it seems that Qi has completely established its foothold in the imperial capital, and has even been recognized by all civil and military officials."
"There's nothing we can do about it, they're going to fight us out." Zu Shiyuan said nonchalantly, looked at Fang Jie and others who were a little unconvinced, shook his head and sighed: "Everyone has seen it! Only with excellent strength will you get the response." With some respect, although our Chu State occupies half of the south of the Yangtze River and has an army of 200,000, it has not yet won a real victory, so you must work harder."
"yes!!"
When Shen Shou heard this, he whispered: "Prime Minister, will this situation affect the negotiations?"
Zu Shiyuan smiled and said, "No, don't just take many things at face value. In fact, I am more interested in His Highness King Yun than this."
"King Yun??"
"Our State of Chu is not like the State of Qi, who has been canonized by the imperial court, but His Highness is always smiling from beginning to end. When officials from all over the country see the princess and the princess, they all address them as marquis and madam. Only If you have this highness, you should treat him as a princess, show your affection to him, and treat him with sincerity. If he is not Xiaoyaozi, he must have the heart of a king," Zu Shiyuan said with a deep look.
. . .
At this time, in the carriage heading to the imperial city, Zhao Kai looked at Fang Baihua and said curiously: "I heard that the princess is proficient in the art of war, has superb martial arts, and is also a general of the Chu Kingdom!!"
"Your Highness has given you the reward, but it is just a token of love from Brother Wang!!"
Zhao Kai smiled and said, "Princess, you are humble. Now that I have the trust of my father, I am also the commander of the Bianjing Horse Army. If you have time, Princess, you might as well give me some advice!!"
"Ma Junsi??"
"Yes, the imperial army is divided into the Dianqian Division, the Horse Army Division, and the Infantry Division. The Dianqian Division is currently commanded by Privy Zong, the Infantry Division is commanded by Liang Taiwei, and the Ma Jun Division is my king."
Fang Baihua's eyes moved, and she said with admiration: "His Highness is indeed the best among people. If you have time, the ancestors and the others will definitely be willing to take a look."
"Haha, okay, then it's settled," Zhao Kai said happily.
Song Hai took a look and frowned slightly.
Soon, when they arrived outside the imperial city, they saw that Liang Shicheng had already led people to wait.
After the three of them got out of the car, Zhao Kai clasped his fists and said, "Lieutenant, my mission has been completed."
"Your Majesty, I really need you to help me. I'll leave the rest to you!!"
"good"
"Master Marquis, madam, I'll take my leave now," Zhao Kai suddenly changed his title.
"Thank you, Your Highness"
After Zhao Kai left, Liang Shicheng looked at Song Hai and Fang Baihua and said with a smile: "Master Hou, madam, the officials are anxious to see you two, so they summoned them in advance. In addition, Prime Minister Wu has also arrived."
"Thank you, Lieutenant," Song Hai said gratefully.
"You're welcome, Lord Marquis. The King of Qi is now my associate of the Song Dynasty. Although I haven't formally met with the King of Qi yet, we already have a close relationship. So, Lord Marquis, don't be nervous. If anything happens, I will meet with Prime Minister Wu." Help," Liang Shicheng hinted.
After Song Hai was stunned, Fang Baihua's expression changed. Has Qi's power reached this level? ? They all knew about the situation of the important ministers in the imperial capital. The Liang Shicheng in front of them was the hidden minister of the Song Dynasty, nicknamed Song Dynasty. In terms of power and status, he was not inferior to Zongze at all. In terms of closeness to the official family, Zongze could not compare with him.
Looking at the surprised Fang Baihua, Liang Shicheng smiled and said: "Madam, actually the officials asked you two to come here first because they wanted to inform you in advance that you should not participate in this negotiation to avoid being in a dilemma. We will arrange for the officials on their own. Entertaining both of you”
"What!!" Fang Baihua frowned, but when she saw Song Hai who suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't say anything more.
Along the way, officials from all over the country respected Song Hai far more than Zu Shiyuan and others. He already had too much pressure in his heart and was worried that Qi's current status would be affected because of him. How could she force it? Her heart goes to the Chu State, but since she is married to Song Hai, she is indeed still the daughter-in-law of the Qi State.
"I obey my husband in everything I do," Fang Baihua said after a slight silence.
When Liang Shicheng heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Okay, okay!!"
At this time, Zhao Kai was sitting alone in the leaving carriage. His gentle and friendly expression seemed to disappear in an instant, replaced by a cold majesty, and a bit of expectation in his eyes. .
