1090. Chapter 1090 Messenger
Qi State, Qianqing Palace.
Zhao Yong met with the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin in the main hall. When he saw the image of the dagger, he had already determined that Mo Rongzhan did not send people to look for him for no reason. Maybe he had already found out clearly, otherwise how could he let people Come to Qi State.
"Are you the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin?" Zhao Yong looked at Song Jiong coldly. He had lived for thirty-five years and had met countless people. At a glance, he could tell that Song Jiong was not a member of the imperial court, but a member of the Mo Rongzhan faction. What does it mean to come in person like this?
Song Jiong originally wanted to learn how to be an official, but Murong Ke told him that he didn't need to learn anything and would just do whatever he wanted, so he appeared in front of Zhao Yong with a trace of Jianghu aura.
"Yes, our emperor sent me to deliver the news to you personally." Song Jiong said with a smile.
"Master Song, where do you take the lead in Kyoto?" Zhao Yong asked with a half-smile.
Song Jiong's smile did not change, "I am dissatisfied with the emperor. I am actually just an idler. It was our emperor who wanted to promote me that made me come to Qi with such an important matter."
"Did you find this ancient sword in Huajia Village?" Zhao Yong waved the drawing paper in his hand. He didn't care about Song Jiong's identity. Anyway, in his eyes, he was just an insignificant figure. What he cared about most was Man holding an ancient sword.
"Yes." Song Jiong actually didn't know how to talk to Zhao Yong. Anyway, he just had to answer in one sentence.
Zhao Yong sneered, "Huajia Village is so secretive that it's hard for ordinary people to find it. How did you get in? By such a coincidence, you found my daughter?"
Song Jiong frowned, should it be said that it was because Mo Rongzhan accidentally fell off the cliff?
"You'd better not hide anything from me." Zhao Yong said coldly.
In the main hall, the guards on both sides were already looking at Song Jiong with cold eyes, as if they were just waiting for Zhao Yong's order to kill him immediately.
If he had been a minister of the Jin Kingdom, he would have knelt down and made excuses at this time. Even if he was beaten to death, he would not have said that it was their emperor who almost died in Huajia Village. Unfortunately, Song Jiong was not a minister of the Jin Kingdom, and he had no respect for Mo Rongzhan. Loyal enough to die for him.
"Actually... that's because our emperor accidentally fell off a cliff and happened to be rescued in Huajia Village. We found Huajia Village under the guidance of others. There was a fisherman... I'm talking about the princess of your country. She said Her name is Zhao Ning, and she wants our emperor to take her out of Huajia Village to find her biological father, so that's why." Song Jiong said half-truthfully.
Zhao Yong did not doubt Song Jiong's words. When he saw the ancient sword drawings again, he had already asked someone to check them. At that time, Jin Kingdom happened to capture Anhe City, but Mo Rongzhan and Lu Lingzhi met in Anhe City. Later, Both men are missing.
It seemed that what they said was correct. This Zhao Ning might really be the daughter he accidentally left behind. He didn't expect that the fisher girl would actually give birth to a daughter for him. He had already forgotten what the fisher girl looked like.
"I will send someone to follow you back to the Kingdom of Jin. If Zhao Ning is really my daughter, I will definitely thank the emperor of your country." Zhao Yong said lightly and asked Song Jiong to retreat.
Song Jiong also wanted to ask when he would send someone to return to the Kingdom of Jin. Looking at Zhao Yong's face, he thought it was better not to ask for the time being. Anyway, he would leave when he should. The Sixth Prince even told him not to worry.
After Zhao Yong sent Song Jiong away, he returned to the imperial study. After a while, several of his close ministers came.
"I want to go to Jin Kingdom in person, what do you think?" Zhao Yong glanced at the ministers he trusted most.
Prime Minister Dai Shi raised his eyes and asked, "Is the emperor planning to pick up the princess in person, or has he heard that Jin Kingdom has the most beautiful woman in the world and wants to admire it with his own eyes?"
赵雍被戴识这么简单粗暴的问话给问住了，他默默地看了看丞相，心想要不是这个丞相是他最心爱的大臣，他真想将他揍出去，“朕并不是那么Lecherous.”
Everyone else was silent. The emperor's words were too unconvincing. The whole world knew that their emperor was the most beautiful, okay?
"Your Majesty, if you go to pick up the stranded princess in person, it would be a bit... not good for the other four princesses in the palace." The middle-aged man standing next to Dai Shi said with a frown.
There are already four princesses in the palace. The eldest princess is the daughter of the former empress and is already engaged. Because she is the eldest princess and the only one who is a direct descendant, she is very majestic in the palace. Neither the concubines nor other princesses in the palace dare to do so. He underestimated her, and then there was the second princess from De Fei, who had been betrothed to the second son of the Marquis of Zhenguo, who was Song Hongao's younger brother. Gu Yue first raised his head and glanced at Song Hongao opposite him. The other two princesses were only thirteen this year. Years old, not yet married, because their biological mothers are not favored, and they have little to rely on in the palace. However, no one dares to underestimate these princesses. I have heard that there are some discord between them. Because Zhao Yong treats everyone equally, there is no problem for the time being. A harmonious thing.
If Zhao Yong goes to pick up another princess in person, the balance between the four princesses will be broken.
This princess who has not yet returned to the palace may become the target of public criticism. The first two princesses who will not let her go are probably the two princesses who are not yet married. As for the eldest princess... it depends on whether she is willing to accept and win over this new girl. Princess now.
Zhao Yong listened to Gu Yuexian's words and nodded thoughtfully, "You are right..."
Just because you are right doesn’t mean that this uncle will listen! Everyone else was thinking silently in their hearts.
"I have been in the emperor for the past few years and have never been out." Zhao Yong sighed, as if he had no love for his life, "Beiming Kingdom and Jin Kingdom Xiliang were fighting happily, and Mo Rongzhan can still conquer it himself. Let’s go have some fun, why doesn’t anyone come to play with me?”
"..." Dai Shi and Gu Yue were speechless for a while. Isn't it great that other countries dare not come to Qi to fight? It proves that their Qi country is still strong and no one dares to provoke them.
Zhao Yong sighed again, "Invincible is the loneliest."
Song Hongao, who had been silent for the whole time, said expressionlessly, "The emperor can go to the Kingdom of Jin incognito. Aren't you going to send an envoy to pick up the princess?"
"Hong Ao, you are really my confidant." Zhao Yong's eyes lit up and he laughed, "I can be this messenger myself, right?"
Dai Shi shouted, "Your Majesty, you just met the Jin Kingdom envoy today. He knows what you look like."
Zhao Yong's smile froze. He didn't find a substitute to meet Song Jiong today!
"If you disguise yourself a little, you won't be able to tell." Song Hongao said. In fact, he really wanted to leave the imperial capital to have some fun.
"Okay, let's do it!" Zhao Yong clapped his hands, "Hong Ao will go to Jin Kingdom with me. I want to know what kind of person Mo Rongzhan is, and the imperial capital will be handed over to the two beloved queens. "
Song Hongao smiled slightly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
