Chapter 29 Chapter 29
"Three days later, the envoys from Goryeo will enter Beijing. Please tell me what kind of standards we should use to treat the southern kingdom." Emperor Shenghe sat on the high dragon chair, looking down at the ministers below. .
"My minister thinks that it is acceptable to follow our country's standards for receiving foreign guests." An old minister stood up and said.
Emperor Shenghe didn't speak, and everyone couldn't figure out what the immediate boss was thinking.
"I have a discussion." Another person stood up.
"Oh? What's Jia Aiqing's opinion?" Seeing that it was Jia Zheng who spoke, Emperor Shenghe looked at the person standing below with some interest.
Seeing that Emperor Shenghe "raised up" himself so much, Jia Zheng didn't feel panic, but rather honored.Although his own position is not high, as one of the four major families, he still feels that he has some face.Naturally, he also ignored the foolish eyes of his colleagues around him.
"I think that Goryeo, as a vassal state of our southern country, defeated the Wa country again this time, which is a great achievement. The emperor should personally lead the ministers of civil and military affairs to welcome it." Said his 'high opinion' triumphantly.
"I will lead the civil and military ministers to greet you?" Emperor Shenghe asked with no joy or anger in his voice.
"Yes!" Jia Zheng answered sonorously. Seeing that Emperor Shenghe did not remain silent like the previous minister after he finished his answer, he asked himself again 'eagerly'. He felt that this proposal must be quite sacred.
The hall was deadly silent, and the others could only lower their heads to reduce their sense of existence.This Jia Zheng is not only Jia Zhengjing, but also really confused!This is obviously a sign that the emperor is about to get angry, since he is still complacent.Let a king of a country lead his civil and military ministers to meet the envoy of a dependent country, thanks to his idea.
So what if the Japanese army is defeated?Not relying on the support of the Southern Kingdom.Otherwise, he would not have come to pay tribute before the season of paying tribute, which was obviously to plead guilty.Regarding the suggestion made by the previous adult, the reason why Emperor Shenghe remained silent was probably because he felt that such a standard was still a bit high.Who knew that Jia Zheng would be so unafraid of death to put forward even more outrageous suggestions.Alas, for such a person, it is simply unacceptable for the Jia family to be undefeated.
With a soft hum, it was very clear in this silent hall, "Jia Zheng, it seems that you are not too young. Then I will allow you to go home and recuperate for a while!" Emperor Shenghe said majesticly.
Jia Zheng, who thought he would be praised, heard this, he didn't care about the rules, he raised his head suddenly, and looked at the superior man in astonishment.
"Come here, why don't you 'invite' Mr. Jia out." As soon as the words fell, the Imperial Forest Army quickly dragged Jia Zheng, who was still in a daze, out.
The discomfort of being dragged and the various mocking gazes cast on him made Jia Zheng suddenly sober, "The emperor is wronged!" It was so embarrassing to be kicked out of the court.
The hall quickly returned to silence, but still no one dared to make a sound.Didn't you see that one person was dealt with just now?It's still from the 'Four Great Families'!
As for Wang Rui, Wang's elder brother, who secretly hated Jia Zheng for taking the lead, his face was as white as paper at this time, and his body was shaking non-stop because of fear.Fortunately, fortunately, he was one step late...
"Is there any good strategy for all the loves?" Emperor Shenghe continued.
It was still quiet, and no one spoke.
"Prince."
"My son is here." Xia Tian took a step forward.
"tell me your opinion."
"Yes. My son thought that although Goryeo defeated the Wa Kingdom, it was considered a "negligence" with the help of our southern country's military force. Naturally, he could not welcome them in a big way. However, he did indeed defeat the Wa Kingdom. The people don't know Inside, if you are negligent, it will inevitably cause criticism." Xia Tian analyzed every word.
"so what should I do now?"
"You can send a person of high status and status to welcome him to the capital first, and we can talk about the rest later." Smiled.Everyone only felt that His Highness the Crown Prince was worthy of being His Highness the Crown Prince. Even they almost couldn't help clapping their hands and praising each sentence.
"Okay! If that's the case, I'll leave this matter to you, the prince." Emperor Shenghe laughed, obviously very satisfied with this proposal.
"My son leads the order." Xia Tian bowed and replied.He didn't feel the joy of being praised by Emperor Shenghe, nor the depression of getting such a troublesome errand, and he always looked like this with a faint smile.
"Wait," he said suddenly, "Let Mo Jue, the champion of the new division, assist you." Emperor Shenghe issued another decree.
So, the matter was happily resolved.Of course, someone will convey the emperor's will to Mo Jue.
Others, on the other hand, understood better that this groundless, duckweed-like champion in the new discipline seemed to have really caught the eyes of Emperor Shenghe.I am afraid that he will be a major minister again in the future.
When receiving the imperial edict, Mo Jue was studying the history books of the Southern Kingdom.Although the system has already stored everything in the database, he feels that reading it word by word makes him feel more deeply.He had plenty of time anyway.
"Mo Jue accepts the order!" A shrill voice sounded at the gate of the Imperial Academy.
"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: The champion of the new division, Mo Jue... I have specially sent the prince to assist the crown prince in the matter of the Goryeo envoy's entry to Beijing... There must be no mistakes!"
Mo Jue said long live, and took the yellow cloth strip.
"Lord Mo, the emperor values you more than you, so don't disappoint the majesty's painstaking efforts." Eunuch Li said to Mo Jue before leaving.
"Eunuch, don't worry, Mo Juewan dare not disappoint the emperor's cultivation." He also replied very seriously.
Seeing this, Eunuch Li nodded in satisfaction and left.
After watching a group of people leave, Mo Jue turned back to the Hanlin Academy.After collecting the imperial decree, Fu Qing came.
"Master Fu." Mo Jue cupped his hands and said.Now, he has a good relationship with the Fu family, and they are all called Uncle Fu in private.
"Okay, I've heard. There are still three days before the envoys from Goryeo enter Beijing. During these three days, you must do your best to assist the crown prince. The emperor wants to train you to be the crown prince's confidant." After exhorting, the last sentence was said extremely light.
"I understand, don't worry, Uncle Fu." Mo Jue's heart warmed, knowing that Fu Qing really treated herself as her own junior before saying this.
"It's good to understand, don't be confused by the rumors outside. That position belongs to His Royal Highness after all." There are very few people in the Imperial Academy, almost each of them has an office in the courtyard, and the voices of the two people talking are extremely low, so Also have no scruples.
"En." Mo Jue responded lightly without asking too much.Judging from the current attitude of the Fu family to the outside world, as well as Fu Qing's words at this time, there are secrets that he does not know.
Fu Qing still wanted to say something, but when he saw a figure hurrying outside, he ended the conversation.
"Master Fu, Sir Mo." The little eunuch saluted first.
"His Royal Highness invites Mr. Mo to the East Palace to discuss matters." He said.
"Well, I see." After saying goodbye to Fu Qing, Mo Jue followed the little eunuch to the place where Xia Tian was, which was the East Palace.
Although the East Palace can be regarded as the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, it is not usually far away from the place where the harem concubines live.The East Palace is closer to the front hall, and officials often come and go, so Mo Jue doesn't need to shy away from it.
Because the Hanlin Academy needs to serve the emperor, it is different from other court institutions, so it also occupies a small corner in this huge palace.By the time they reached the gate of the East Palace, the time for a stick of incense had already passed.
"Master Mo please." The little eunuch stopped at the door.
Mo Jue nodded and walked in alone.Contrary to what he imagined, even in the Prince's East Palace, he didn't meet many people along the way, and even the servants were only a few.
After passing through an empty hall, he saw the person who invited him this time in a gazebo similar to the back garden.
"Officer..."
"Xiao Jue, there's only you and me here, so there's no need to salute so much." Xia Tian, who was dressed in normal clothes, stopped Mo Jue's salute first.
"Yes."
The two immediately sat opposite each other in the gazebo.
"Try it quickly, these are some snacks and side dishes that I asked the chef to make according to your taste." Xia Tian smiled and pushed the plate towards Mo Jue.
"Well, thank you, Your Royal Highness."
"How many times have I said it, just call me Xia Tian in private." Xia Xia scolded, after getting in touch with the young man more, the intentional wooing at the beginning has turned into a sincere friendship now.The name has also changed.
"Summer." Mo Jue was not polite.
"That's good, let's have a taste."
In the end, this lunch in the name of discussing important matters ended without talking about anything.
Before leaving, Xia Tian asked Mo Jue to bring back the food box he had prepared earlier.It is full of small snacks that Zaicai teenagers especially prefer.
————Small theater, suddenly extra brain holes——It has nothing to do with the text.
Fu Yijun (concubine): You vixen, you want to win your husband's heart away before you even enter the door, I won't let you do it!
Xia Tian (fiancee): Hmph╭(╯^╰)╮, you foxy sons, I am not dead, you are concubines after all!
Mo Yu (childhood sweetheart): What are you talking about!We are all brothers, and we should serve our husband well together. (weak)
Fu Yijun/Summer: Roll Your Eyes
Mo Yu: (steps back with a pale face) Why do brothers treat younger brothers like this? !Did my brother do something wrong? (hides face and weeps)
Mo Jue: (appears suddenly) Yu'er, what's wrong with you? !
Fu Yijun/Xiamen: (face changes suddenly) Husband? !
Mo Jue: Needless to say, I have already seen it, so you are such men!
Fu Yijun/Xiamen: Husband, we were wronged!
Mo Jue: (Taking Mo Yu away with a flick of his sleeve, leaving the two beauties alone in tears.)
Fu Yijun and Xia Tian looked at each other, it seems that at this moment, the only way to solve the immediate crisis is to unite.
