"Elder-in-law" migraine

Chapter 37

One month later, the new Turkic Khan Ashina Aji led envoys to Beijing to pay homage to Emperor Zhaoning, the new emperor of the Zheng'an Dynasty. Emperor Zhaoning sent the favored King Xiaoyao out of the city to welcome him.

Ren Zhi rode Wuzhi, Hou was at the gate of the city, and saw a group of people and horses coming towards the capital from a distance. The horseshoes were galloping, and the dust was flying.It is quite different from the seemingly obedient foreign prince whom I met last time, and even at such a long distance, I can feel the aura of the king in Ashina Aji now.

He stretched out his hand to stroke Wuzhi's mane, and suddenly remembered the last scene of seeing Ashina Aji on the mountain outside Beijing. He couldn't hold back for a moment, and laughed. Ren Zhi raised his eyebrows for a moment, Ren Zhi felt that if it wasn't for his clothes and the guards around him, Ashina Aji would have rushed over immediately, grabbed his neck, and strangled himself to death.

Thinking of this, the smile on his face couldn't be concealed even more. Looking at Ashina and Aji Wentun, he said, "In the next paragraph, I will go out of the city to meet Khan for him under the order of the emperor. Khan has worked hard all the way." .”

Ashina and Aji's sharp eyes were tightly locked on Ren Zhi's face, but a smile appeared on his lips, "It turns out that he is the famous Xiaoyao Wang. Lord Lao specially went out of the city to greet him, and Aji was really terrified."

"Khan, you are being polite. I don't care about the affiliation between our dynasty and the Turks, but for the sake of the emperor's wife, this king should also leave the city." Ren Zhi smiled innocently, but he bit the word affiliation clearly. Unambiguous, enough for everyone present to hear clearly.

There was no change on Ashina Aji's face, "Then please trouble the prince."

"Maybe." The smile on Ren Zhi's face was just right, "Then please Khan and all the envoys untie their weapons and hand them over to the city gate guards. Let me enter the palace with this king. Your Majesty has hosted a banquet in the Xuanzheng Hall and is quietly Waiting Khan and all the envoys."

Ashina Aji nodded, untied his saber, handed it to the guard who came to pick him up, and glanced back at the other people behind him, and the others followed him to untie his weapon and handed it to the guard.Ashina and Aji looked at Ren Zhi with a smile, "It's all right now, my lord, let's go."

Ren Zhi tugged at the reins and stepped out of the city gate, "Please, Khan."

Ashina Aji clamped his horse's belly and took the lead into the city gate. Ren Zhi bent his lips to watch Ashina Aji and his party of more than ten people enter the city gate one after another. The last person in the crowd, with the sound of howling wind, that person was startled, and before he recovered, the whip had wrapped around his boots, and he pulled it down hard, pulling the person's boots off When he got down, a dagger fell out along the shaft of the boot, and landed on the bluestone road with a clear sound.

The guards guarding the city rushed up immediately and surrounded the man. The group in front also reined in the horse and stopped. Ashina Aji turned the horse's head, "What's the matter?"

Ren Yi flicked the horsewhip, and the boot fell into the man's arms. He took back the horsewhip, rolled up the exquisite dagger on the ground, put it in his arms, and waved his hand at the guard, "It's okay, I'm not careful! I dropped something and disturbed Khan, Khan forgive me."

Ashina and Aji glanced at the last person. The man put on his boots with a livid face. He looked at Ren Zhi with resentment, and Ren Zhi looked at him with a smile, as if he didn't notice it at all. Ashina and Aji smiled. Said, "It's good that it's okay, then, my lord, can we enter the city?"

"Of course, please, Khan." Ren Zhi clasped his fists towards Ashina Aji, who turned his horse's head and walked forward again.

Ren Zhi clamped his horse's belly and walked forward, while walking forward, he took out the dagger just now to check, passing the Turkic envoy all the way, walked to the front of the team, and walked forward with Ashina Aji.

Ashina Aji was riding on the horse, and couldn't help turning his head to look at the young man beside him. He still remembers the humiliation that this young man gave him two years ago in the ice and snow. She swore that when she saw him again, she would strangle him to death with her own hands, and only then would she be able to forgive the humiliation that day.

But seeing him again now, he suddenly no longer thinks that way, he just wants to press him down, let him pant/breath because of himself, shenyin, make him tremble because of himself, let him surrender to himself forever.

He is no longer the little eunuch who seemed weak and easy to bully back then. His temperament and his identity today, if he can be subdued, the sense of accomplishment alone will far exceed the feeling of strangling him.

Ren Zhi tilted his head on the horseback, his gaze swept over Ashina Aji's face as if nothing, with a faint smile on his lips all the time, that sight made Ashina Aji almost unable to hold back He wanted to jump onto Ren Zhi's horse and push him down.

In this way, the two walked together to the gate of the imperial city with different moods. Everyone dismounted, and Ashina Aji led the envoys to follow Ren Zhi to the Xuanzheng Hall.

Duan Yixian had already brought all the officials to wait in the Xuanzheng Hall, Ren Zhi walked in the front all the way into the hall, bowed slightly towards Duan Yixian, Duan Yixian nodded in understanding, Ren Zhi turned his head and glanced at Ashina Aji behind him Walk towards your position.

Ashina Aji walked to the center of the hall, bowed to Duan Yixian, and Duan Yixian smiled slightly, "Khan has been running all the way, it's hard work."

Ashina and Aji straightened up, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you are welcome. The new Emperor Zheng'an is enthroned. As a close neighbor, Aji should lead an envoy to visit. Aji came here this time and brought the best cattle on our grassland. Sheep, may the friendship between Turkic and Zheng'an last forever."

When the civil and military officials in the court heard this, they immediately boiled.Back then, Duan Yixian led the army to fight against the Turks. What he won was not only the victory in the first battle with the Turks since the establishment of the Zheng'an Dynasty and the marriage with the Turkic princess, but also forced the Turks to become ministers and pay tribute every year.But this time, Ashina Aji came in person, but kept saying that it was a visit between neighbors, and turned the customary tribute into a so-called gift of friendship, obviously because he did not want to recognize the agreement with the Zheng'an Dynasty.

Duan Yixian's eyes swept over the courtiers, calming them down, and then fell on Ashina Aji, "Khan, you are polite, this year Khan came to pay tribute in person, and it was so long earlier, the sincerity of the Turks, I thank you Naturally you can see it."

Ashina and Aji smiled slightly, and didn't answer any more. Duan Yixian didn't take it seriously, and motioned to Xiao Ping, "Give me a seat."

Xiao Ping went down in person, and led Ashina Aji to sit down at Duan Yixian's head, directly opposite Duan Yizhi, the Xiaoyao King who is under one person and above ten thousand people in the court.

Ashina Aji raised his head and looked at Ren Zhi, Ren Zhi raised his wine glass, smiled at Ashina Aji, drank the wine in the glass, turned the empty glass upside down, and showed him.

Ashina and Aji also picked up the wine glass, drank it down, then gestured to Ren Zhi, who smiled lightly, turned his head, and looked at Duan Yixian, who was superior, with a completely different smile on his lips. That Aji was stunned, and the hand holding the cup seemed to be shaking a little.

Duan Yixian signaled Xiao Ping to fill the wine for himself, and raised the wine glass, "This glass of wine, I will treat the Turkic Khan and the Turkic envoy as a clean-up. I and the Khan are both ministers and in-laws. I am in peace with you." Turkic relations should also be closer and more stable.”

Ashina and Aji held up his wine glass, "Of course."

Everyone picked up their wine glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.Duan Yixian put down his glass and said casually, "The Queen misses Aji very much. When the banquet is over, I will ask someone to take you to the Hall of Yiyuan. You brothers and sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, so let's have a good chat and meet you by the way." The nephew who has never met."

Ashina and Aji nodded, "Aji really misses my sister very much, and even brought a special gift for my little nephew."

"Aji has a heart." Duan Yixian signaled Ashina's servant beside Aji to fill up the wine for him, "I remember that last time you came to Beijing, you were particularly fond of Zhongtu wine, and you even brought ten jars of wine back for you , I don’t know if you tried it or not.”

Ashina Aji looked up at Ren Yi, and then replied with a smile, "The wine in the Middle Earth is naturally good wine, and the wine presented by your majesty is even better."

Duan Yixian glanced at Ren Zhi with a smile, remembering the ten altars of fine wine that someone brought back to the wine cellar of Yiwang Mansion two years ago. After returning to the original place, Ashina Aji still pretended to have received the grace of God.

Ren Zhi drank the wine with a normal expression, as if he didn't know what the two were talking about, and he didn't seem to notice the gaze of the two on him.Duan Yixian looked at him and couldn't help shaking his head, the smile on his lips was even bigger.

Ren Zhi turned his head to glance at Ashina Aji, and raised his glass again towards him. Ashina Aji subconsciously picked up his own wine glass and drank the wine in the glass.Ren Zhi licked the corner of his lips, smiling even more.

Therefore, on the day when the Turkic envoy entered Beijing, at the reception banquet, the Turkic Khan got so drunk that he was sent directly to the post station, and he didn't even have time to go to the Yiyuan Hall to meet the queen.

Ren Zhi stood on the main hall and watched Ashina Aji being helped away, took another sip from the cup, turned his head and said to the servant behind him, "This clear spring water is sweet, I drank a lot of water today .”

The waiter said, "It's natural, His Majesty ordered people to bring this spring water for the prince, just because he was afraid that the prince would be too drunk at the banquet."

Ren Zhi raised his head and glanced at Duan Yixian who was about to leave, and couldn't help but curl his lips.

The author has something to say: the second update.
