I heard you want to let me down

After the national mourning, it was the new spring, and the new emperor of Chen Kingdom succeeded to the throne, and then sent envoys to other countries.

When Shao Guo learned that the envoy who came this time turned out to be Liu Yi, most people thought he was a bad person.

Let's not mention what the princess who married Chen Guo did to Gu Nian.Gu Nian and Liu Yi are not doing well in Shao Country.Later, relying on Rong Jin, the situation gradually improved.In the eyes of many people, Rong Jin may treat Gu Nian with a certain degree of sincerity, but it is hard to say whether Gu Nian is forced by the situation to Rong Jin.Well, even if he was sincere at the time, who knows what Gu Nian would think about his relationship with Rong Jin now that he is in a high position.

Back then, as a weak dependent, with a man, no matter who looked at it, they would probably feel a little humiliated.Let alone the emperor.

If it wasn't for finding fault, Shao Guo really couldn't understand why the person from Chen Guo would be Liu Yi?But no matter what, it is a fact that Gu Nian ascended the throne, and it is also a fact that Liu Yi is coming.Shao Guojun and ministers also prepared a reception plan.

The power of Chen State is far greater than that of Shao State, and Gu Nian and Shao State have old grievances again.Just looking at Gu Nian's ascension to the throne, the princess who married away from Shao country went with the former emperor of Chen country, and one can see what Gu Nian meant.Shao Guo also expected that Liu Yi's visit this time would definitely not be easy to deal with, and might even bring some demands that would affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

But not at all.As the official envoy, Liu Yi never raised any critical opinions on Shao Guo's reception.The people below him are naturally kind.

At the banquet, meeting with Emperor Shao and handing over the letter of credence is also an official routine, and there is nothing wrong with it.Some officials tentatively brought up the events of the year: "Thinking that the noble envoy lived in Shao Guo for a long time, but he never paid a visit. It is really slow."

"Where are you talking?" Liu Yi sat in the table, smiling like a spring breeze, "I was in Shao Country in the past, and I was also taken care of by many people."

Liu Yi seemed to mention it unintentionally: "Oh, yes. At that time, I had some old friends with Mr. Rong. I heard that Mr. Rong was married? The old man came here today, why didn't you see Mr. Rong and his wife present?"

The air suddenly became quiet.

Liu Yi didn't see Rong Jin at the banquet at first, thinking that Shao Guo was concerned that Rong Jin had a relationship with Gu Nian, so he didn't let Rong Jin attend.This is no surprise.As a result, when he said this, he sensed that something was wrong, and his heart "thumped", did something happen to Rong Jin?

Liu Yi's face jumped up unconsciously, and he tried his best to calmly say: "What? Is Mr. Rong inconvenient to attend?"

The Emperor Shao Guo said in a low voice: "I'm afraid the envoy will be disappointed, Rong Jin is not in Beijing now."

Liu Yi couldn't figure out the situation for a while, but he subconsciously noticed something was wrong.Originally, he didn't intend to show an appearance of being too friendly with Rong Jin, but he was ordered to see Rong Jin with his own eyes, and he suddenly had a bad feeling: "Our Majesty Back then, I had a good relationship with Young Master Rong, and now His Majesty ordered me to bring some things to Young Master Rong. I don’t know where Young Master Rong has gone and when will he come back?”

The emperor of Shao Kingdom didn't speak, the person sitting next to him was Rong Hui, he said in a deep voice, "Rong Jin left his post without permission and made a big mistake, and now he is serving his sentence in Changyan Gorge."

The wine glass in Liu Yi's hand shook, and the wine spilled on his hand. In the warm spring season, he felt a kind of icy chill.He smiled calmly and said, "I don't know the state affairs of Shao State, but our Majesty's orders must be obeyed. Then I wonder if I will trouble Shao Guochuan to come back, or go down to Changyan Gorge?"

Liu Yi was personable and poised the whole time, but when he entered the room alone, he dropped his glass.

Rong Jin is a smart person, how could he make such a mistake?What else could it be AWOL?It must be the time when Rong Jin sent His Majesty back to China.Rong Jin was exiled to Changyan Gorge, but the people who stayed in Shao State sent back the news that Rong Jin "married well"!

Don't say the news is wrong.It's impossible for the Rong family to do their marriages quietly, as long as the people they stay in Shao are not blind or deaf, they don't know whether Rong Jin is married or not?Not to mention such a specific date of marriage, such a specific candidate, and the fish-shaped jade that Rong Jin said was handed over to them by himself!

Liu Yi finally remembered.After His Majesty confirmed that he was the envoy to Shao, he had received a message from the Feng family.At that time, he was exhausted physically and mentally by those aristocratic families, so he avoided all the banquets in the name of his grandfather punishing him, and went home from Gu Nian every day.But even so, he was blocked on the road by a son of the Feng family.

He declined the invitation, and then the son of the Feng family said something like "I believe everyone is doing it for His Highness's benefit" and "You are also a smart person".He only thought that the Feng family also wanted to send a woman into the palace, so he said a few innocuous official words.He was also curious at the time, the Feng family was His Highness's maternal ancestral home, if he wanted to, he could just ask His Majesty directly, would it be worthwhile to come to his door?

So it is!He was really dazzled by those people who forced marriages, and he didn't notice anything wrong!It's not that he never thought about it at the beginning, with Rong Jin's temperament, how could he marry a wife so soon, but the person who sent the letter swears by it.

Feng Hengyue has been operating in Shao Country for many years, and those who stayed in Shao Country are not so much Gu Nian's people as Feng Hengyue's people!

It was Feng Hengyue who lied to His Majesty.They were too careless, and because of their past experiences and habits, they trusted Feng Hengyue too much.Completely forget the truth of this moment and that moment.

No need to ask why, Liu Yi can think of a hundred for him.Win over power; carry on the family line; Rong Jin will become Gu Nian's weakness and so on.Moreover, the Feng family also has daughters of the right age.

The question now is, what should he do?

He had also heard about Changyan Gorge.With the degree of Rong Jin's favor and the power of the Rong family, Rong Jin will be exiled to a place like Changyan Gorge, it must be a very serious crime, it should be a general who left Beijing without an order.The sentence is likely to be ten years, or even 20 years, 30 years!But no matter how powerful Chen's country is, he is still an envoy from a foreign country. How could he meddle in Shao's state affairs?Even if he really oppressed people with the power of Chen Kingdom, and managed to commute Rong Jin's sentence, wouldn't it be a good thing for Rong Jin or the Rong family?It would be even worse to cause suspicion at that time.

After thinking about it, Liu Yi sighed on the bed: "Your Majesty, you can't blame the minister now, right? It seems that we should take the route of taking by force."

Going to Chen Country is better than staying in Changyan Gorge to endure hardships.That was a period of more than ten years, could it be possible to survive in a closed bitter cold area?As for whether Mr. Rong is willing or not, he can't control it, that's something His Majesty has to worry about.

However, if His Majesty knew that Rong Jin had been exiled in Changyan Gorge for more than three years because of him, would he be able to bear it?

……

When Rong Jin received the order, he was lying in the yard watching the sky.

He hurried over all the way, secretly speculating about the intention of the Chen Kingdom envoy's visit.Even though he knew that the person who came could not be Gu Nian, he was still secretly anxious and happy.He hasn't ridden a horse for more than three years, and he hasn't received any specific news from Gu Nian for more than three years.Although An He sent him a letter, it was only vague news from the private caravan.

However, he finally became the emperor, and his revenge was avenged, so he should be living well.It's just that he sent envoys to find him for what?

Rong Jin was upset, so he had no choice but to talk to the system: [System?What do you think he sent envoys to find me? 】

System: [Go and have a look and you'll know?It can't be because you know you lied to him and come to trouble you. 】

Rong Jin entered the palace after freshening up. He happened to be in time for lunch and was setting up another banquet.

Liu Yi smiled and said: "The in-laws of the two countries are naturally closer than ordinary countries."

All the ministers of the Shao Kingdom looked at each other in blank dismay.Ever since Liu Yi came, they have never mentioned the matter of marrying that princess from Shao country, so Gu Nian is willing to recognize this relative?Are things different from what they know?

A young courtier tentatively said: "Yes, speaking of it, there is indeed a princess in the Kingdom of Shao who married the former Emperor of the Kingdom of Chen."

The smile on the corner of Liu Yi's mouth faded: "Although Concubine Lan comes from your country, she is just a concubine, so can she be called the marriage relationship of the two countries?"

The young courtier frowned: "Then what does your envoy mean?"

Just at this time, Rong Jin walked in from outside the hall under the guidance of the palace staff, originally planned to find a seat to sit down first, and go to find Liu Yi after the banquet was over.Unexpectedly, when Liu Yi saw him, he immediately stood up and bowed.

Rong Jin didn't know Liu Yi's current position, but as a guilty minister, he probably wasn't worthy of such great courtesy from Shao Guolai.He took a step sideways and dodged it: "Your envoy beat me to death."

Now that you've seen it, don't wait for it.

"I don't know if your envoy took a lot of trouble to find it. Is there something wrong?"

Liu Yi recalled what Gu Nian had asked him to bring before he left, thinking that the general was out and the military order would not be accepted, so he opened his mouth and said calmly, "Our Majesty asked me to bring a word to Mr. Rong."

"One farewell for three years, I wonder if Mr. Rong still remembers the oath?"

Rong Jin stood where he was and closed his eyes for a while: "I don't understand what your envoy means."

Liu Yi looked around, and said in a deep voice: "Our Majesty lived temporarily in Shao Country back then, and we were very happy with Mr. Rong. At the Shao Country's New Year's Eve palace banquet, we also expressed our feelings in public. But because we had no parents at that time, According to the matchmaker, there was no marriage discussion."

"After our Majesty returned to the country, he heard that Mr. Rong had married a wife, so he had no choice but to give up. But since Mr. Rong has not yet married a wife, the things that were promised back then will naturally have to be counted."

Rong Jin felt it was absurd: "What have I done?"

Liu Yi said calmly: "Young Master Rong once received a pair of jadeite bracelets from our Majesty. They are tokens left to His Majesty's future and other half."

But didn't the bracelet go back?

Rong Jin sneered: "Is this forcing Chen Guo to be a concubine? Forcing a man to be a concubine? Such absurd things have never been heard before!"

"It's not a concubine." Liu Yi said softly, "The position that our Majesty and Young Master Rong decided on back then, could it be the position of concubine? Did Young Master Rong forget what His Majesty said back then?"

"With a sincere heart, how dare you treat it as a concubine?"

"If your country and Mr. Rong do not intend to break the contract, then next time you will bring the marriage letter back, and next time you will greet us with state gifts."
