Chapter 232 Fortunately, otherwise there would be no you in this world
The delegation will set off for Yun Country today.
The emperor naturally would not come out of the palace to see him off in person, but the prince needed it.
Hui Chengyuan and a group of officials saw the delegation off at the gate of Kyoto. "Lord Lin, Lord Kong, have a safe journey." He had already said what needed to be said.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Lin Xiao and Kong Xuan bowed before mounting their horses and setting off.
Seeing the convoy going away, Hui Chengyuan was about to go back, but he saw a group of people passing by the convoy and walking towards the city gate.
However, he only took a look and turned away.
However, an official from the Honglu Temple who was seeing them off recognized the flag hanging on the team's carriage.
After taking a look at the prince walking away, the official immediately said to the ministers who had not yet left, "That is the flag of the Song royal family, but they did not send a visiting card or inform us in advance. Should we welcome them or not?"
Prime Minister Yao took a look and said nothing, but stood there calmly.
Minister of Rites Ke Yucheng saw this and looked at the carriage road which was getting closer and closer: "Go and meet them. It's our chance to meet them."
"Sir He, please go to the palace immediately and inform His Majesty and the Crown Prince."
He was the Minister of Rites, and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites had already gone on a diplomatic mission to the State of Yun. If the Prime Minister refused to take the position, he had to take over.
After we welcome the guests to the inn, we will see who Your Majesty will arrange to receive them.
The carriage approached and stopped at the city gate. A servant ran over and said with a smile, "My dear Anguo adults, my third prince is here to congratulate His Majesty the Emperor on his birthday."
Ke Yucheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "I would like to thank the Third Prince on behalf of His Majesty, but I remember that our Anguo did not notify all countries to host a banquet. How did your Third Prince come here suddenly?"
The attendant smiled and said, "Originally, our Third Prince and the First Prince went to Yun Country to celebrate the new emperor's ascension to the throne. But when he heard about Emperor An's birthday, the Third Prince changed his route and came here to celebrate."
"Sir, my Third Prince has been traveling a long way. Please arrange for him to rest in an inn."
Ke Yucheng glanced at the carriage and said, "I have already sent someone to clean up the posthouse."
Then he walked towards the carriage and said, "Your Highness, the Third Prince, I am the Minister of Rites of Anguo, Ke Yucheng, and I am honored to meet the Third Prince of Song."
Song Minyan, the third prince of Song, poked his head out of the carriage and said with a flamboyant smile, "Master Ke, please don't be polite. I heard that there are many fun places in Anguo. Before the Emperor An's birthday, please take me to have some fun."
Ke Yucheng performed the ceremony, "Of course. Third Prince, please go to the inn and rest first. I will report to His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Song Minyan glanced at the Kyoto city gate, smiled and nodded.
Hui Chengyuan was looking at the information found by Yuan Yi at this time, wondering who was behind the scenes. The evidence about Liu Zhengyang was enough to kill him dozens of times, but he couldn't alert the enemy now.
Ling Yang came in and said, "Your Highness, Song Minyan, the third prince of Song State, came to congratulate Your Majesty on his birthday. He has now moved into the inn and said he wants to have a good time in Kyoto."
Hui Chengyuan frowned slightly. He naturally knew that Song Minyan's trip was not as simple as celebrating his birthday, but he did not expect that the Song State was so well-informed.
"What did your father say?"
Ling Yang looked up at him and said, "Your Majesty said that you can make the full decision."
Hui Chengyuan's mouth twitched, "Okay, I understand."
So after that, Hui Chengyuan became even busier. He basically only came back to the Prince's Mansion at night, and sometimes he didn't come home all night.
Yuan Man naturally knew what he was busy with, because when she had nothing to do, she would help him review those memorials that were only about trivial matters.
This also allowed her to see a lot of gossip and learn which officials were narrow-minded and which officials were practical in their work.
"The third prince of Song is interesting. He helped Anguo clean up the circle of dandies."
These officials are also interesting. Even though they know that submitting memorials to the emperor is useless, they still write memorials to complain without giving up.
"Aunt, my father wrote to say that he would arrive in Kyoto before the birthday party." Yaoyao ran in with the letter in her hand.
Yuanman closed the folder, took her letter and started reading.
There are still seven days left until the Wanshou Festival. He has to arrive before the festival, so he has to rush here as fast as he can.
Yaoyao saw her frowning and said with a smile: "Don't worry, auntie. We in the Yao tribe have our own animal trainers. It's no problem for a Cloud Chaser to travel hundreds of miles a day."
"Chasing Cloud Horse?" Yuan Man didn't expect that there would be a horse more powerful than Chi Xiao.
Yaoyao nodded, "This Cloud Chasing Horse is not an ordinary horse. It is not only fast, but also has some human nature. It is a horse unique to our Yao tribe."
"However, there are fewer and fewer Cloud Chasing Horses now. There are only a few left."
It would be a pity if this kind of fine horse became extinct.
Yuan Man looked at her, "Why didn't you go out to play today?"
Yaoyao shook her head and said, "Yuan Er has taken me to all the games I should play. I am staying at home with my aunt today."
Yuan Man raised an eyebrow, "Really?"
Yaoyao nodded, "Really, Yuan Er is my witness."
Yuan Man glanced at Yuan Er who was standing at the door and said, "Okay, I don't need you to accompany me. Just do whatever you want. Let Yuan Er accompany you."
"By the way, the birthday celebration is approaching, and the Third Prince of Song is also in Kyoto. You have to be careful about what you do, understand?"
Yaoyao nodded, "I never look for trouble, unless there is something to ask me."
"Okay, we won't bully others, but we can't let others bully us either." Yuan Man asked Yuan Er to take her out.
Yuanyi and Qinglong cooperated in the investigation and finally found the person behind Liu Zhengyang before the Wanshou Festival.
He is an unexpected person.
King Zhenbei, the only king of a different surname in Anguo, has been guarding the northern territory since the new emperor ascended the throne.
Although few people mention the King of Zhenbei, he is a hero in the hearts of the people of Anguo.
Hui Chengyuan looked at the memorial in his hand with a frown on his face. He had no impression of the King of Zhenbei. The only thing he had seen was his portrait.
The emperor stood at the window for a long time without moving.
"Father, we need to send someone to the northern border."
The emperor spoke after a long while: "You can send anyone, but you can't go."
"Why?" Hui Chengyuan walked up to him and asked, "Are you afraid that he will rebel?"
The emperor shook his head. "He will not rebel. You cannot go to the annexation yourself, but you can send someone to go."
"Zhenbei King Ling Xiao and I grew up together and are as close as brothers. The only thing we have against each other is that we both fell in love with the same girl, your mother."
"Originally, I was going to lose to him, but your grandfather made the decision and let your mother marry me."
Hui Chengyuan raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "And you accepted it and married the queen mother who didn't want to at the time?"
The emperor glared at him, "Your mother was not unwilling, she was just a little hesitant at the time, and I took advantage of my status and used some tricks."
"This also shows that your mother likes me, otherwise why would she agree to the marriage so easily?"
"Since the queen mother likes you, why did you say that you were going to lose to the King of Zhenbei?" Hui Chengyuan said as he sat down next to her.
The emperor glanced at him and snorted coldly, "That kid is not holding back. He actually secretly made an appointment with your mother to confess his love. If he confessed first, given your mother's temper, she would have agreed. Then I would have lost."
"Luckily, otherwise you wouldn't exist in this world."
