I am a ruler in troubled times

On the left is Chong Yi's face, and on the right is Chong Yi's hand.

Song Peiyu didn't know where to hide for a moment, a layer of bright red quickly spread behind her ears.

He coughed lightly, then reluctantly turned around and pushed Chong Yi away, "It's the edict of Emperor Qing that I told my father-in-law in the strange goods city."

Following Song Peiyu's strength, Chong Yi took two steps back, sat down on the empty chair beside Song Peiyu, and reluctantly followed Song Peiyu's reminder to think.

Emperor Qing's edict in Qingshan Palace...

In the third year of Yonghe, the State of Yan frequently provoked the State of Zhao. Both the State of Zhao and the State of Yan stockpiled a large number of troops on the border, and the war was imminent.

Emperor Yonghe specially ordered Emperor Yidai to offer sacrifices to Mount Hua not far from the border to boost the morale of the border soldiers.

After the sacrifice, Luo Yong and others heard that "auspiciousness" appeared in Huashan, so they wanted to bring "auspiciousness" back to Xianyang, so the group entered Huashan again.

Then he was assassinated, fled, and exiled to Qizhen.

When Song Peiyu and Chong Yi met the big shopkeeper of Shixianglou in Qizhen, Song Peiyu felt that the origin of the big shopkeeper of Shixianglou was unusual, and got confirmation from Chongyi that this big shopkeeper was an eunuch.

In the fourth year of Yonghe, the Qihuo City was officially completed.

Song Peiyu's old housekeeper came to visit Song Peiyu, and happened to run into shopkeeper Xiang and recognized Xiang's shopkeeper. Song Peiyu then knew that the big shopkeeper of Shixianglou was once the great eunuch Ruixiang who was next to Emperor Yan Guoqing.

At the moment when the relationship between Zhao State and Yan State was the most tense, it was discovered that the great eunuch next to the first emperor of Yan State was hiding his name in Qizhen.

How could Song Peiyu not take advantage of the great opportunity that hit her face.

It's a pity that Eunuch Xiang has no desire or desire and no fear of life and death. No matter what method Song Peiyu uses to probe, Eunuch Xiang refuses to disclose any useful information, and he simply ignores Song Peiyu's various hints.

Until Chong Yi saw through the crowd at a glance that Xiang Yun, a businessman from the Kingdom of Wei, had almost exactly the same facial features as Eunuch Xiang under his thick beard.

After Song Peiyu found someone to confirm, he found that Xiang Yun was actually the nephew of Eunuch Xiang.

After having Xiang Yun, Eunuch Xiang's attitude changed immediately, and it was a big secret that shocked everyone.

Emperor Xiao is usurping the throne in conjunction with the concubine of the year and the current queen mother. Emperor Qing's real preferred heir is not Emperor Xiao at all, but hesitating between the fourth prince and the sixth prince.

It wasn't until he had a premonition that his fate was not long before Emperor Qing made up his mind to ask Eunuch Xiang to read out the edict passed on to the fourth prince, destroy it and hide it in the Qingshan Palace and pass it on to the sixth prince's edict, and then put the jade seal that was also in the Qingshan Palace Give it to the fourth prince.

Emperor Qing's legacy on the fourth prince was destroyed by the noble concubine and Emperor Xiao, and the fourth prince died suddenly. On the contrary, the sixth prince escaped and was named a prince by Emperor Xiao.

Relying on the contempt of Emperor Xiao and the imperial concubine, Xiang Gonggong escaped successfully, encountered bandits on the way back to the country of Wei, and was trapped in Qizhen by accident.

As Emperor Qing's confidants were all forced to death by Emperor Xiao and the Empress Dowager, in the Qingshan Palace, Emperor Qing's edict passed on to the sixth prince and the jade seal that Emperor Qing used to use became secrets that only Eunuch Xiang knew.

As soon as Eunuch Xiang learned that there was a will of Emperor Qing passed on to other princes in the Qingshan Palace, Song Peiyu wanted to take this will and make it public.

The biggest blemish on Emperor Yonghe's road to proclaiming himself emperor was that he was once a subject of the Yan Kingdom.

The word "rebel" was engraved on Emperor Yonghe's body like a brand, and it was also engraved on Zhao Guo's body.

Unless Zhao Guo can take Yan Guo completely, Yan Guo can insult Emperor Yonghe and Zhao Guo at any time with 'traitors'.

If the edict of Emperor Yan could be made public, the situation would be quite different.

Emperor Yonghe could make excuses, he knew that Emperor Xiao's throne was wrong, and he rebelled against the kingdom of Yan and set up his own family because he complained about the injustice of the old master.

In this way, Emperor Yonghe could immediately change from a 'traitor' to a 'loyal minister', stepping on the face of Emperor Xiao to clean himself up, and accomplish multiple things in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that after Emperor Xiao succeeded to the throne, perhaps because of guilty conscience or other reasons, he never used the Qingshan Palace.

The palace people in Qingshan Palace were dismissed many times on a large scale, and they were never supplemented. The people who stayed in Qingshan Palace in the end were all people who never planned to leave in this life.

Song Peiyu sent people to the Yan Kingdom several times, but failed to touch the Qingshan Palace. Instead, someone entered the Luoyang Palace by mistake and became a confidant of the Queen Mother of the Yan Kingdom.

The news that this person sent back was useless, the most frequently mentioned thing was that the Empress Dowager of Yan State begged before the Buddha all day long, hoping that the entire Song family would die in exchange for the fortune of Yan State.

Song Peiyu had nothing to say about this woman who became crazy after losing her son.

If Emperor Xiao and the Empress Dowager Yan hadn't pursued the Song family fiercely and wanted to put the Song family to death, Song Jinyu would not have made up his mind to move westward to join General Jianwei at the risk of extermination.

Not only the Empress Dowager Yan hoped that the entire Song family would die, but if Song Peiyu had the chance, she would definitely not let the Empress Dowager Yan survive.

Song Peiyu didn't have any deep feelings yet.

But Song Peiyu knew that in Song Jinyu's heart, Emperor Qing and the Empress Dowager both killed their fathers and enemies.

It was Emperor Qing and the Queen Mother who forced their father Song Liangci to death.

After forcing their father to death, Emperor Qing just wanted to force the Song family out of the court for the time being.

The queen mother changed from a noble concubine to a queen mother, and immediately backtracked, trying to uproot the entire Song family.

Not only Song Jinyu, but Song Peiyu's other elder brothers also hated the Queen Mother and Emperor Xiao to the bone.

Song Peiyu carefully smoothed out the letter paper without any wrinkles, put it back into the envelope, and handed the letter to Chong Yi, and asked Chong Yi to send the letter to the Palace of Qinzheng when he returned to the palace.

After reaching out his hand, Chong Yi didn't take the letter. Instead, he held Song Peiyu's wrist and said in a low voice, "Today is the fifth day."

After countless battles of wits and courage, Song Peiyu finally figured out the key point of being able to balance entering the palace and living at home.

As long as he stays in the palace for no more than three days, and then immediately goes home and stays for the same number of days before entering the palace, he will not run into his brother or nephew anytime, anywhere and propose to go home with him.

When there is no special reason, Song Peiyu will stay in the palace for three days, and then go home for three days.

Even if he occasionally stayed in the palace for an extra day, no one would talk to him right away, but Song Peiyu would feel guilty.

Even if you are walking in the East Palace, you will have the illusion that you will meet Song Jinyu when you turn the next intersection.

Hearing Chong Yi's words, Song Peiyu blinked and explained, "Yesterday, Mrs. Liu caught a cold and invited a doctor. I have to go back and have a look. Today is just fifteen, and the whole family is in Songhe Hall..."

Even if Song Peiyu didn't explain, Chong Yi also knew why Song Peiyu suddenly doted on him for two days.

The heavy head was pressed on Song Peiyu's shoulders, Song Peiyu suddenly felt a slight tingling sensation from the soft flesh on his ears, and then Chong Yi said helplessly, "Why haven't you been to Yonghe 14 years yet?"

Song Peiyu smiled silently, and ran his fingers through the loose hair behind Chong Yi's head.

He knew what Chong Yi was thinking about, and to be honest, he was also thinking about it.

In the 14th year of Yonghe, Chong Yi was 30 years old.

At the beginning, Emperor Yonghe fooled King Xiang into saying that the period that Chongyi could not marry a wife and have children before the age of 30 would completely pass.

Song Peiyu knew that if they wanted to get married in an aboveboard manner, there would definitely be other obstacles

He is ready to face these obstacles.

No matter how unwilling he was, after Chong Yi sent Song Peiyu back to the Song Mansion, he returned to the palace alone with the letter from Yan Guo, and went directly to Qinzheng Hall to find Emperor Yonghe.

As soon as he entered the gate of the apse, he heard chattering voices inside.

Chong Yi stopped immediately.

It is the little county kings of Su Wang's mansion.

Chong Yi didn't want to see these little princes who either cried or made noise after seeing him, and refused to be quiet no matter what they said outside the time of teaching martial arts.

He waved to the little eunuch at the door, and asked the little eunuch to tell Emperor Yonghe that he was eating in the side hall, and he had something to talk to Emperor Yonghe.

Then he turned around and left without any remembrance.

The little county kings inside the gate didn't know at all that the elder brother they were thinking of was quietly passing by the gate.

They are doing their best to prove to Emperor Yonghe that they love learning and learning makes them happy.

I hope Emperor Yonghe can increase their study time, especially the time for martial arts.

If you can practice martial arts with the elder brother of the prince, and then listen to elder brother Song telling them stories.

They are the happiest little county kings in Kyushu!

Emperor Yonghe had already seen through the small thoughts of the little county kings, and while secretly laughing at the wishful thinking of the little county kings, he stroked his beard in satisfaction.

Good boys, they are so smart, they can recite the Three Character Classic at such a young age, they must be more promising than him and King Su!

Eunuch Meng approached Emperor Yonghe by serving snacks to the little county kings, and quietly told Emperor Yonghe that Chong Yi was waiting for him in the side hall, and he seemed not in a hurry.

"How many days is today?" Emperor Yonghe asked subconsciously.

Since Song Peiyu's stay in the palace became more and more regular, the time when Emperor Yonghe saw Chong Yi in Qinzheng Hall became more and more regular.

Eunuch Meng lowered his head and suppressed a smile, and said seriously, "Return to Your Majesty, today is March [-]th, and there will be a family banquet at Mrs. Song's house."

"Ha..." Emperor Yonghe speeded up his beard stroke silently. From the corner of his eyes, he noticed that there was a dishonest little county king who was eating cakes, and he was watching him with wide eyes. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, and said in a low voice, "Let him come to eat with the younger brothers, or wait in the side hall."

You little bastard, you can't bring the raccoon slave to see him when the raccoon slave is also in the palace.

Every time I come alone, Is it okay to use Qinzheng Hall as a restaurant?

Eunuch Meng lowered his head silently, seeing that Emperor Yonghe went to coax the princes of the small counties about what happened in class today, so he left the apse.But instead of going to the side hall where Chong Yi was, he sent people to the East Palace to fetch Chong Yi's words book and Jiu Lianhuan, so that Chong Yi could pass the time while he was waiting for Emperor Yonghe.

Chongyi's decision did not meet Eunuch Meng's expectation.

He chose to wait for Emperor Yonghe to coax those Heavenly Demon Stars in the side hall before coming to him.

Here Chong Yi is having dinner with King Su, waiting for Emperor Yonghe.

On the other side, the banquet in Songhe Hall was over, Song Peiyu and Song Jinyu went to the study together, and told Song Jinyu the content of Yan Guo's letter.

He also told Song Jinyu that if possible, he would like to go to Yan Kingdom with Chong Yi in person to find Emperor Qing's imperial edict and jade seal hidden in Qingshan Palace.

Song Jinyu's attitude was very calm. If Song Jinyu hadn't known for a long time that Song Jinyu had never had the habit of writing big characters at night, Song Peiyu would have thought that Song Jinyu had put aside the old experience in Yan Country long ago.

Song Peiyu stood by the table, quietly watching Song Jinyu write.

It is an elegiac couplet written to my father.

Obviously she has no feelings for her father whom she has never met, but Song Peiyu's eyes are still sour.

Song Jinyu stared at the written elegiac couplet for a long time, then raised her head and nodded to Song Peiyu, and said softly, "You also write a copy, let's go to the ancestral hall."

After this kind of thing is written down, it must be burned to the deceased immediately. It cannot just be placed in the study, nor can it be disposed of in other ways.

Song Peiyu stood in Song Jinyu's place, but she was at a loss when she picked up the pen.

Unknowingly, he copied the elegiac couplet written by Song Jinyu.

Song Jinyu shook his head, a smile finally appeared on his tense face.

He reached out and patted Song Peiyu on the shoulder, signaling Song Peiyu to take the elegiac couplet in his hand, and the two rushed to the ancestral hall together.

As the flames in the brazier grew stronger and stronger, Song Peiyu knew many things that he didn't know before.

At that time, their father, Song Liangci, was ordered by Emperor Qing to escort the third prince from the noble concubine to Hengshan to worship.

The sudden sudden death of the third prince, Song Liangci cannot absolve himself of the blame.

In order to prevent Emperor Qing from blaming the pain of losing his son on the entire Song family, Song Liangci chose to commit suicide to preserve the family.

Song Peiyu had heard the conversation between Song Jinyu and Mrs. Song when she was a child.

Song Liangci did not commit suicide because he was afraid that Emperor Qing would blame the entire Song family, but Emperor Qing forced Song Liangci to commit suicide with the safety of the entire Song family.

Emperor Qing didn't want to bear the notoriety of forcing his subjects to death, so he deliberately let people spread the news that "Song Liangci executed himself because he was afraid that Emperor Qing would anger the Song family".

In the end, it gradually became Song Liangci who failed Emperor Qing's trust and committed suicide under guilt.

Emperor Qing, who really forced Song Liangci to death, picked himself clean, and all his faults were piled up on Song Liangci, who had already committed suicide.

Fortunately, Emperor Qing still kept his promise. After Song Liang resigned himself, no matter how much he picked on the Song clan in the court, he just wanted to let the Song clan resign, and never thought of killing anyone.

It wasn't until the imperial concubine became the empress dowager, and the prince she single-handedly supported became Emperor Xiaoxing of the Yan Kingdom, that the life of the Song family became like walking on eggshells.

These are Song Peiyu's conjectures of what happened after the sudden death of the third prince based on what he has heard and seen for many years.

Song Jinyu told Song Peiyu that Song Jingming's eldest son's tenth birthday was the year before last, and he wanted to find some things left by Song Liangci for his eldest grandson.

While sorting out Song Liangci's relics carefully, Song Jinyu found a scrawled letter among the ancient books collected by Song Liangci.

On the envelope was written 'Jinyu, my son, from me', which contained words that Song Liangci had never said before his death.

The third prince didn't die suddenly for no reason at all.

On the way to Mount Heng, the third prince's health went from bad to worse.

Song Liangci sent secret letters back to Luoyang many times, asking Emperor Qing to allow them to turn back, or to stop and let the third prince recuperate before setting off, but Emperor Qing never agreed.

Emperor Qing insisted on forcing Song Liangci to death, not because of the death of the third prince, but because Song Liangci saw with his own eyes the Princess Zhaohe holding the corpse of the third prince who had begun to rot and crying bitterly for my son.

Princess Zhaohe also personally questioned Song Liangci why she didn't keep her child.

Song Peiyu clenched her fingers silently, and the information about Princess Zhaohe of Yan Kingdom flashed through her mind, and she lost her voice, "Is the third prince the child of Emperor Qing and Princess Zhaohe?"

Emperor Qing is not Emperor Yonghe, only Chongyi has a single seedling, even Princess Danqiong can bear it, wholeheartedly looking forward to King Su having a son, so that the Chong clan's throne will not be cut off in Chongyi's hands.

Emperor Qing himself had more than a dozen sons, and three or four half-brothers from half mothers. It was impossible for him to let his younger sister's son surpass his own son and inherit the throne.

Song Jinyu added another piece of yellow paper to the brazier, and her voice unknowingly became duller, "Back then, the noble concubine and Princess Zhaohe gave birth at the same time, but it happened to catch up with Emperor Qing's high fever, and most of the imperial doctors were called to Emperor Qing's place." , there is only one imperial doctor guarding the imperial concubine and the princess Zhaohe."

The noble concubine gave birth to a son, the third prince who had been favored by Emperor Qing since childhood.

Princess Zhaohe gave birth to a daughter and made an exception as Princess Yanqing. When she got married, she was dressed in red makeup, and she was more beautiful than many princesses of Emperor Qing.

Song Peiyu knelt by Song Jinyu's side, and suddenly a monstrous anger rose in her heart.

So Emperor Qing committed incest with his half-sister and gave birth to the third prince.

The third prince had no abnormalities when he was a child, but after he was 20 years old, his health went from bad to worse.

When Emperor Qing asked the third prince to sacrifice to Mount Heng instead of him, he might not have hoped that the third prince would die outside, so as not to let the courtiers find out the clues.

Song Liangci and the Song family became the most innocent cannon fodder in Emperor Qing's absurdity.

After the flame in the brazier was completely extinguished, Song Jinyu put his arms around Song Peiyu's shoulders, and said in a low voice, "I'm telling you this, not because I want you to do anything. If His Majesty finally agrees with you to go to Yan Kingdom with His Highness, I only hope you To protect yourself well, you must not only guard against Emperor Xiao and the Empress Dowager, but also the Princess Showa."

After seeing that letter, Song Jinyu realized why Princess Zhaohe used so many vicious methods against the Song family when she was in Yan country, even at the expense of injuring one thousand enemies and eight hundred herself.

At that time, he thought Princess Showa was trying to curry favor with the Empress Dowager.

Now that I think about it, the queen mother who made the most craziest move against the Song family is the biggest joke.

Not only does the queen mother only have the third prince and one son, she also gave birth to the seventh prince, but when the third prince and the seventh prince were in danger at the same time, she chose to save the third prince and give up the seventh prince without hesitation.

Song Peiyu tilted her head and leaned on Song Jinyu's shoulder. After a long silence, she nodded lightly, "I won't act impulsively."

At most, he was looking for an opportunity to kindly remind the Empress Dowager Yan that she had been doing good deeds for so many years.

Song Jinyu looked down and saw the brilliance in Song Peiyu's eyes, and knew that Song Peiyu must have his own ideas.

He shook his head and looked up at the tablet above.

In the past, he didn't tell the other brothers about the letter because they were far away from the country of Yan. Even if they knew the unknown past, they couldn't do anything except think about it day and night.

Telling these things to the raccoon slave today is to hope that the raccoon slave can protect himself in the country of Yan.

As for revenge, it is his responsibility as the eldest son and elder brother, and should not be borne by the younger brothers.

Chong Yi didn't know that after Song Peiyu learned more about Song Liangci's death, his determination to go to Yan State was unprecedentedly strong.

Song Peiyu has secretly decided that even if Emperor Yonghe does not intend to let King Su or Chong Yi go to Yan to risk his life, he will take the initiative to ask for an invitation to go to Yan.

Chong Yi, who didn't know anything, wanted to go to Yan Country very urgently, no worse than Song Peiyu at all.

Emperor Yonghe looked at the letter sent by Yan Guo and fell into deep thought.

Since the state of Yan competed with the states of Li and Wei for the gold mine in Zeng Town, they have continuously increased their troops for nearly two years, consuming countless manpower and material resources, but in the end they lost all their money, causing Yan's vitality to be seriously injured.

Yan State's attitude towards Zhao State lost its long-standing toughness.

In the fifth year of Yonghe, Zhao Guo turned Wei Guo into Wei County, and both Dongliang and Xiliang voluntarily expressed their surrender to Zhao Guo.

Not only are there more and more tourists traveling to and from the Odd Goods City, but the surrounding areas of the Odd Goods City, as well as any places with cement roads, have become unprecedentedly prosperous, and in recent years they have even been called Little Jiangnan.

After weighing all the pros and cons, the Yan State changed the early days when Emperor Yonghe proclaimed himself emperor, adding troops to the Zhao-Yan border every year, even sending 'envoys' to find Emperor Yonghe's unpleasant behavior on Emperor Yonghe's birthday.

For Yan Guo, there are only two options if he wants to buy something that Yan Guo does not have.

Or buy things that Yan does not have from the strange goods city or along the cement road of Zhao, and bring them back to Yan at a far lower price, cost and time than before.

Otherwise, you have to travel to the south of the Yangtze River to buy things that Yan country does not have. The cost of buying things and the cost of the road will increase by at least six or seven times.

The situation at the Zhao-Yan border, from the fact that Yan State increased its troops every year, Zhao State had to maintain the same frequency of increasing troops as Yan State, to Yan State began to withdraw troops every year, Zhao State also gradually vacated room to change defenses at the Zhao-Yan border.

Since the eighth year of Yonghe, the State of Yan has repeatedly shown favor to the State of Zhao.

Even Yan Guo's gestures of goodwill are so lofty, Emperor Yonghe can obviously feel it from Emperor Xiao's personal letter, Emperor Xiao is "reluctantly" accepting that he has the same status as the other party, condescending to show favor with him.

So Emperor Yonghe never paid attention to Emperor Xiao.

Whatever Emperor Xiao wrote in the letter, Emperor Yonghe was a ruthless "reader", and would never reply to Emperor Xiao personally.

Emperor Xiao only wrote two letters to Emperor Yonghe before he stopped this stupid behavior.

Later, the letters from Yan State to Zhao State were basically exchanges between the Honglu Temples of the two countries.

Now seeing this invitation from Emperor Xiao of the Yan Kingdom to invite people from the Zhao Kingdom and the Song family to go to Yan Kingdom to witness the ceremony of Yan Kingdom's crown prince appointment, Emperor Yonghe was not too surprised.

He didn't think that the National Assembly of Yan was so stupid that they would attack the royal family of Zhao and the people of Song after they arrived at the border of Yan.

The [-] Xiliang troops newly added to Zhaoyan's border are all elite soldiers who have been fighting against foreigners all year round.

Unless Emperor Xiao is ready to start a full-scale war with Zhao Guo, he will never do such stupid things.

After roughly analyzing the pros and cons in his mind, Emperor Yonghe raised his eyelids to look at Chong Yi, and said in a firm tone, "Do you want to go with Li Nu?"

Chong Yi nodded generously and admitted, "We will not stay in Yan Country for a long time."

Emperor Yonghe snorted, this is not nonsense, Chongyi wants to stay in Yan Kingdom for a long time, Yan Kingdom will not welcome him, maybe he will take the initiative to issue an order to expel guests.

Holding the wine glass, King Su looked left at Chongyi and right at Emperor Yonghe, and took the initiative to smooth things over.

He could understand Chongyi's desire to take Song Peiyu away from Xianyang temporarily.

Maybe it's because Chong Yi's [-]th year is approaching, the Song family has always had various reasons to ask Song Peiyu to go back recently.

Even if King Su could see Chongyi in Qinzheng Palace, he didn't go to the East Palace very much, but he heard about it.

Let's just talk about this month, today is March [-]th, in the first half of the month, Song Peiyu seems to only stay in the palace for three days.

Suzaku's life was indeed too difficult.

King Su sighed and shook his head, then turned to look at Emperor Yonghe.

He can understand Emperor Yonghe better.

Even he is reluctant to leave Xianyang for Chong Yi, let alone his elder brother.

Before saying anything, he refused to let Chong Yi take Song Peiyu to quell the Tuyuhun Rebellion. It was also because the general’s foreign military orders were not accepted. Moreover, Chong Yi had a lot of criminal records. After the war subsided, he might hang around again and say nothing. Willing to return to Xianyang.

Now about the matter of going to Yan Kingdom, firstly, it is not possible for Chongyi to stay as long as he wants, and secondly, it is very close to the day that Chongyi longs for.

When the day comes, perhaps Chong Yi is the one who is most anxious to return to Xianyang.

Unknowingly, King Su, who had completely turned against Chongyi, said something that Emperor Yonghe didn't like to hear, "It's better to let Suzaku and Li slave to see the sincerity of Yan Kingdom."

Emperor Yonghe knocked on the table and looked dissatisfied at King Su who was holding him back.

In fact, he already had the answer in his heart, but he was not willing to say it so easily.

Now King Su also spoke to Suzaku, as if he deliberately made things difficult for Suzaku.

Chongyi promised Emperor Yonghe that "after returning from the Kingdom of Yan, he will double the supply of the martial arts lessons left behind to the kings of the small counties", and finally got the answer he wanted from Emperor Yonghe.

The next day, Emperor Yonghe showed the letter from Yan Kingdom in public at the Great Court Meeting. He did not say that he had decided to let Chong Yi and Song Peiyu go to Yan Kingdom for a banquet, but only said that he asked the courtiers to discuss whether to agree.

The courtiers were very unified in their views on this matter.

Most of the old officials of Zhao State are the same as Emperor Yonghe, they are old officials of Yan State.

Because he was dissatisfied that Emperor Qing would change the original dual capitals of the Yan Kingdom, and completely set the capital in Luoyang, resulting in the prosperity of Xianyang being inferior to Luoyang visible to the naked eye, and a huge loss of vital interests, he would support Emperor Yonghe, who was still a great general of Jianwei Split with Yan.

But in essence, these old ministers will not hate Yan State because they have been fighting with Yan State for many years, but feel like they are fighting with their left hand and right hand.

In the subconscious mind of these veterans, they believed that they and Yan State were two tributaries from the same river.

Even when they supported Emperor Yonghe's split with the Yan Kingdom, they didn't feel that after the defeat, the Yan Kingdom would ruin their family.

Emperor Yonghe is the 'chief evil', even if Emperor Yonghe loses, at most Emperor Yonghe loses the lives of his whole family.

These people have been neglected by Yan Guo for several generations, and they can survive with their profound background.

When everyone was arguing, Song Peiyu quietly raised her head to look at Emperor Yonghe's face.

Maybe after being with Chong Yi for a long time, Song Peiyu found that his judgment of other people's emotions became more and more sensitive.

Although it is not as exaggerated as Chong Yi's, comparable to a human-shaped lie detector, but it is easy to see the dissatisfaction under the calm appearance of Emperor Yonghe from the interested face of Emperor Yonghe.

Emperor Yonghe was dissatisfied with the closeness of these veteran officials to the Yan Kingdom.

Perhaps before today, Emperor Yonghe no longer regarded the country of Yan, which could not pose a threat to him, and with his big heart, he would not care about the old entanglements with the country of Yan.

But after today, the country of Yan will inevitably become the confidant of Emperor Yonghe again.

After all, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

The stalemate in the court lasted for more than half a month, and the few courtiers who did not agree with Emperor Yonghe's consideration of the Yan Kingdom were also persuaded by the veterans one after another. The Emperor Yonghe "reluctantly" agreed with the proposal of the veterans, and decided to let Chongyi and Song Peiyu represent the Zhao Kingdom Go to Yan Guo for a banquet.

However, after Emperor Yonghe issued an imperial decree, the veterans asked Emperor Yonghe to change the candidate for the banquet in the Kingdom of Yan.

They don't want Chong Yi or King Su to go to Yan State on behalf of Zhao's royal family, and they don't want Song Peiyu to go to Yan State.

According to their opinion, it is best to find an inconspicuous person from the direct line of the Song family, and bring a small county king from Su Wang's mansion to the Yan country for a banquet.

Although the words are very euphemistic, the deep meaning in the words is not concealed.

In case Yan Guo did not play cards according to common sense, and only lost an inconspicuous descendant of the Song family, or one of the five small county kings in Su Wang's mansion, Zhao Guo would not be completely unacceptable.

Hearing the advice of the veterans, Song Peiyu slightly raised her eyelids.

Just one sentence can make the only three men with the surname Chong in the court unhappy.

Awesome

Emperor Yonghe was hurt by these popular darlings, and turned his head to wink at King Su.

King Su immediately stopped suppressing the anger in his heart, and pulled out Shang Fang to kill the person who suggested that the small county king of King Su's mansion go to the Yan Kingdom for a banquet.

"Old man, the day before yesterday he said that he wanted to restore the old relationship with the country of Yan, but today he was worried that Suzaku would have an accident in the country of Yan, and he wanted to take the child who was not yet five years old. Do you think the country of Yan is sincere or not?"

"In your hearts, my son's life is not as important as whether Emperor Yan is satisfied?"

"I dug open your chest to see if 'Yan' or 'Zhao' is engraved on your heart!"

……

King Su yelled and cursed all the way, hacking at the people who just agreed to let the king of the small county of King Su's mansion and other descendants of the Song family go to the Yan Kingdom for a banquet.

Emperor Yonghe sat on a high seat, slapped his face on the table with a livid face, and shouted, "Bastard!".

I don't know if it was the same as King Su, who was annoyed at the person who suggested that the small county king of King Su's mansion go to the country of Yan, or because King Su suddenly wanted to kill someone in the court hall.

Chong Yi changed his posture, put his hand on his chin, and stared at the farce in the hall with cold eyes, without any intention of making a sound or stopping it.

Emperor Yonghe and Chongyi were unwilling to stop King Su, only Song Jinyu and Shang Shuling dared to stop King Su.

They didn't want to be affected either, and they were only willing to say something like 'King Su appease his anger' not far behind King Su.

As soon as the words came out, they were drowned out by the howling of ghosts and wolves, and they couldn't reach King Su's ears at all.

A good court meeting is even more outrageous than a folk vegetable market.

Because of this turmoil, Song Peiyu, who had already explained everything about Honglu Temple and was hurrying to collect and integrate news from the Yan Kingdom, was arrested by Song Jinyu again just before departure.

Emperor Yonghe was really angry and ordered the Ministry of Officials to send all the documents after the establishment of the Zhao Kingdom to the three provinces.

Song Jinyu told Song Peiyu that many elders would "voluntarily" retire in the future, and many official positions in the court would be vacant. He planned to let Song Jingming return to the central government while taking advantage of the shareholders' wind.

Speaking of this, Song Peiyu immediately doubled her motivation, wishing she could stay in Song Jinyu's study all day and all night.

Integrate the news of the Yan State during the day, check the documents sent by the official department at night, and record all the people who have a close relationship with the Yan State.

Chong Yi insisted that he didn't see Song Peiyu outside the Song Mansion for a whole ten days.

Even if he met Song Peiyu in the Song Mansion, Chong Yi could not always enter through the gate, and he could only go to Tianhuju, not Dafang.

Because I went to the big room, and if I saw Song Peiyu, I would definitely see Song Jinyu.

Song Jinyu would not prevent Chong Yi from staying in his study, but let Chong Yi sit on the other side, and then personally go to find books that record ancient history or various strategies, and explain each word to Chong Yi carefully.

Chong Yi, who has never been sleepy while reading a script, would become uncontrollably sleepy if he couldn't hold on for even a quarter of an hour.

Then it continued, between feeling sleepy after hearing Song Jinyu's words, seeing Song Jinyu's face sober, and being asked questions by Song Jinyu from time to time.

Over time, Chong Yi would rather find a jug of fine wine, sit in Song Jinyu's study, drink in a daze, and listen to the movement in the study, rather than enter the door again.

After ten days of torment, Chong Yi was finally asked to wait until the day when he officially departed from Xianyang.

Because he was on behalf of Zhao State to Yan State, Emperor Yonghe specially asked people to renovate the crown prince's ceremonial guard, and when the sky was bright, it was placed outside the palace in a mighty manner.

Watching Chong Yi, who was wearing a full set of crown prince's clothes, board the high car, and his back gradually turned into a small black spot, King Su suddenly whispered, "Why do I feel that Suzaku is not only reluctant, but also very happy?"

Emperor Yonghe snorted coldly, "He finally got his wish and left Xianyang, can you be unhappy?"

King Su was caught off guard, stepped on the place that made Emperor Yonghe angry, and scratched his hair in embarrassment.

Seeing Song Jinyu who looked almost identical to Emperor Yonghe in the distance, King Su suddenly laughed, "Next time Suzaku is so happy, brother will definitely be happier than Suzaku."

Following King Su's gaze, Emperor Yonghe saw Song Jinyu standing against the city wall, and immediately understood what King Su meant.

The only thing that can make Suzaku happier than going out is getting married that Suzaku always wants.

Suzaku really got what he wanted, and of course he would be happy if there were more people in his small family.

Thinking of this, the melancholy that Emperor Yonghe felt because he saw Chongyi leaving Xianyang with his own eyes disappeared immediately, and he even began to think about what dowry gift he would prepare for Chongyi.

Song Jinyu, who was also full of melancholy, felt the gaze on her body that hadn't moved away for a long time, and looked up.

Emperor Yonghe and King Su were standing side by side with happy smiles on their faces.

It's just that in Song Jinyu's eyes, that smile always feels like...has bad intentions?

Because the departure time from Xianyang was early enough, Chong Yi and Song Peiyu didn't need to hurry.

After going out of the Xianyang area, and restraining the exaggerated prince's guard of honor, they even secretly left the large army and rode fast horses to the surrounding area for a few days.

It's a pity that most of the places where they played were on the bed, and they didn't see many scenery different from Xianyang.

Half a month later, Song Peiyu and Chong Yi rushed to Mo County.

Song Peiyu was buried in all kinds of news that seemed to be true and false at the position closest to the Yan Kingdom.

Chong Yi took Liang Wang's token and rushed to the barracks of the Xiliang Army. It was not until half a month later that he returned to the county to join Song Peiyu.

Three months after receiving the invitation from Yan State, Song Peiyu and Chong Yi left Mo County, the easternmost part of Youzhou, and embarked on a traditional official road that was completely different from the cement road of Zhao State.

Within a quarter of an hour, Song Peiyu climbed out of the frame with trembling hands.

Without concrete, his motion sickness returned.

Because Song Peiyu was motion sick and could only ride a horse, the speed of Zhao Guo's envoy team became unprecedentedly slow.

It was only two days' journey from Moxian County to Yanguoqian County, and Zhao Guo's envoy team had to walk for nearly five days. On the afternoon of the fourth day, they arrived at the gate of Yanguoqian County.

The Yan people who were in charge of welcoming Zhao's envoys took the initiative to go out of the city to meet them.

The visitor reported himself as Chen Yanzhou.

Song Peiyu knew this person.

Chen Yanzhou, the eldest grandson of Princess Zhaohe, has the second-rank Lord Protector of the Country bestowed by Emperor Qing on him, also known as General Chen.
