Chapter 940: Talking at Cross Purposes
Emperor An frowned, looking unhappy.
All civil and military officials in the dynasty looked ugly.
Li Hanru came out of the queue and said in a deep voice: "How can I, Daxuan's court, allow you, a Xiliang official, to be so arrogant? Aren't you afraid that I, Daxuan Regent, will lead an army to crush you, Xiliang?"
Li Hanru has been recalled to Beijing, reactivated, and continues to serve as the left prime minister of Daxuan.
Yan Zhao was startled for a moment, wondering when did Daxuan have a regent? Who is this regent?
He glanced around and his eyes fell on King Wu.
Could it be that this Great Xuanwu King was named the regent?
It is possible. It is said that Ning Chen was able to enter the capital so quickly. This King Wu helped a lot. It was normal for him to appoint King Wu as regent afterwards.
This King Wu used to guard the Western Territory and had a lot of dealings with Xiliang.
Therefore, Yan Zhao knew King Wu fairly well and knew that he did have some abilities... but to say that he could break into Xiliang like Ning Chen was purely fanciful.
Yan Zhao couldn't help but sneer and said disdainfully: "He alone wants to break into Xiliang?
Leng Wenyan led hundreds of thousands of troops to surrender to Xiliang. Now we, Xiliang, can be said to have strong soldiers and horses, but you, Daxuan, are you still the Daxuan you once were? "
After speaking, he looked at Emperor An and said arrogantly: "Emperor Daxuan, if you agree to my conditions in Xiliang, everything will be easy to negotiate.
If you don't agree, then don't blame me for the Xiliang army pressing down on the border... If you want to agree then, there will be more than just these two conditions. "
Emperor An's pretty face was filled with embarrassment, "Envoy from Xiliang, if you have the ability, please say what you just said again."
Yan Zhao sneered and said: "Don't say it once, why not say it ten times? Now that Daxuan territory is divided and wars are everywhere... Do you think I, Xiliang, will be afraid of you?"
Emperor An was furious: "Okay, okay... Xiliang envoy, remember what you said, when I, the Regent Daxuan, lead the army to attack you Xiliang, by then, you will not even have the chance to surrender." None."
Yan Zhao glanced at King Wu with disdain, and then said disdainfully: "If he is really capable, just come... Our Xiliang army is waiting for you on the battlefield. Don't let your regent pee in his pants when the time comes."
Emperor An was so angry that he laughed back. No one had ever dared to despise Ning Chen like this... Even Kang Luo, who was good at military strategy, had to brace himself to deal with Ning Chen when he saw him.
The civil and military officials in the court were shocked and angry. This Xiliang was so crazy that he didn't even pay attention to Ning Chen. Did he really forget about food and not fight, and had he forgotten the fear of being dominated by Ning Chen?
Emperor An said angrily: "Envoy from Xiliang, remember what you said... When I, the regent of Daxuan, come to your Xiliang, I want to see who will wet your pants in fear?"
I will not agree to either of the two conditions proposed by you, Xiliang... You, Xiliang, can only be a minister forever. "
Yan Zhao was also furious and said sternly: "Your Majesty Emperor Daxuan, don't regret your decision today."
After saying that, he suddenly looked at King Wu and sneered: "Prince Regent, our Xiliang army of hundreds of thousands is waiting for you... If you don't come, our Xiliang army will come to you. Don't be scared." It’s better not to show up.”
King Wu looked back subconsciously, with a look of astonishment on his face. Who is this guy talking to?
Yan Zhao stared at King Wu and continued: "Prince Regent, how many pounds do you have? I know clearly... Ning Chen is dead, and no one in your Daxuan can stop my Xiliang army. Don't be cowardly. I'll wait. I want you to lead your army to attack Xiliang."
King Wu was stunned on the spot!
Emperor An, the civil and military officials of the court, including Emperor Xuan who listened behind the curtain, all looked confused.
This guy said Ning Chen was dead...didn't he know that Ning Chen faked his death?
That's right. When Xiliang received the news of Ning Chen's death, he couldn't wait to send Yan Zhao as envoy to Daxuan. He had been on the way, so it was normal for him to not know the news that Ning Chen was still alive.
After a while, they realized... Yan Zhao and this idiot had the wrong person. They were talking about completely different things. They were talking the same thing.
Manchao Wenwu looked at Yan Zhao with sympathy.
This idiot didn't know that Ning Chen was still alive, so he dared to be so arrogant, and he kept talking about it for a long time... I wonder what his expression would be like if he knew that Ning Chen was still alive?
Yan Zhao also noticed the expressions of everyone, and couldn't help but be startled...but what followed immediately was endless anger. A country that was in turmoil and torn apart, dared not to take Xiliang into consideration, it was simply suicidal.
He was about to speak, but King Wu asked: "What did you call me just now? Regent? Where is the regent?"
Yan Zhao's expression froze and he was stunned.
After a while, he asked: "Aren't you the Regent of Daxuan?"
The civil and military officials couldn't bear it anymore and burst out laughing.
Laughing in the court hall was a breach of royal etiquette and a serious crime, but they couldn't hold it in any longer, and His Majesty also laughed... The Emperor behind the curtain even laughed out loud.
Yan Zhao had a question mark on his forehead and couldn't help but said angrily: "What's so funny? Does this officer look funny?"
King Wu laughed out loud, "Envoy from Xiliang, you are not only funny, but you are also blind. You actually mistook me for the regent?
What virtues and abilities do I have, and what ability do I have to be the regent of Daxuan? "
Yan Zhao's face was full of astonishment, "You, you are not the Regent of Daxuan?"
King Wu shook his head, "Of course not!"
"It's impossible... Prince Daxuan, you are the only one who can lead the army. If you are not the regent, who else can you lead?"
Emperor An suppressed his laughter and said, "Did the envoy from Xiliang forget that our Daxuan has a king with a different surname who once served as the king of our Daxuan Town... and now, he is the regent of our Daxuan."
Town King?
Wasn't Daxuan's former king Ning Chen?
Yan Zhao suddenly shuddered, and froze in place, his head buzzing, his eyes wide open like cow eggs, and his mouth open like a toad.
Seeing Yan Zhao's stunned look, the civil and military officials couldn't help but burst into laughter again.
Yan Zhao suddenly woke up and said in a lost voice: "Impossible, absolutely impossible... Ning Chen is dead, how could he be the regent of Daxuan?"
In fact, Ning Chen was named regent before he faked his death, but not long after he was named regent, Ning Chen led his army to recapture Yangzhou... Therefore, only the states and counties of Daxuan knew about Ning Chen's appointment as regent, and the news had not yet spread to other countries.
Emperor An sneered, "The Xiliang envoys were really too out of touch with the news. He deliberately spread the news of Ning Chen's death just to trick the Nanyue Crown Prince Kang Luo into taking the bait. In fact, he faked his death.
Don't you know that Kang Luo was defeated, and the 100,000 Nanyue army was slaughtered by Ning Chen. Kang Luo fled back to Nanyue... All the territory of my Daxuan's southern border has been recovered?
That's right, you Xiliang received the news of Ning Chen's death and couldn't wait to send you to my Daxuan... You have been on the road, so it is understandable that you didn't know that Ning Chen was still alive."
Yan Zhao's face turned pale, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. If Ning Chen was really still alive, then his previous words were equivalent to hanging a butcher's knife over the head of the entire Xiliang.
He couldn't help but screamed: "Impossible, absolutely not, you are lying to me, Ning Chen can't be alive, don't even think about lying to me..."
