Turbulent Times Chapter 807: Three Kingdoms Envoys
Empress Xiao cursed in her heart, Wang Junlin really holds a lot of weight in His Majesty's heart, but the grief on her face was even worse, she said: "At the last moment, I feel that it is disrespectful to His Majesty to hide this matter from His Majesty, so I will The people withdrew and let Wang Junlin leave, but this incident caused Wang Junlin and his concubines to tear their faces apart, and the concubines were worried that Wang Junlin would retaliate wildly, not only killing Wu'er with poison, but also poisoning the concubine to death."
When Yang Guang heard that Wang Junlin was not dead, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "He dares, if he dares to hurt you and Wu'er, I will destroy his nine clans."
Empress Xiao was quite determined, thinking that today's matter would be over, as for whether the emperor would have murderous intentions towards Wang Junlin, she had to make a long-term plan and not be too hasty. But he said in his mouth: "Your Majesty, Wang Junlin's background is unpredictable, and he doesn't have any relatives."
Yang Guang snorted coldly and said, "Queen, don't worry! I will never let Wang Junlin hurt you and my son."
Empress Xiao said with a horrified expression at the right time: "But Wang Junlin's poison technique is so powerful, and he is also vicious. I am afraid that he will let Xiao'er and my wife die in a daze. I heard that there are some strange poisons. After being poisoned, it looks like a serious illness, and even the imperial doctor can't diagnose the poison, and finally died in a daze."
Yang Guang's face changed slightly, and he killed a courtier if he killed him. The problem is that he needs Wang Junlin's sharp sword to help him do many things at this time, and he is full of civil and military affairs, and even the whole world. He couldn't find a sword as sharp as Wang Junlin, so he didn't want to kill Wang Junlin at this time. But what the queen said is not impossible.
"The queen should not interfere with this matter, I will handle it, today is the queen's birthday, the banquet is about to start, the queen should hurry up and prepare!" Yang Guang finally said with a sigh.
"My concubine, thank you Your Majesty for making the decision!" Empress Xiao agreed, stopped crying, and was supported by the maid to leave.
…
…
"What, there are other things like this. This king will go to see the queen mother and ask clearly." Yang Zhao, the former prince of the palace, temporarily rested in the hall. He stood up suddenly and said loudly.
Wang Junlin did not leave the palace, but the harem, and returned to the front palace after reuniting with Nie Xiaoyu. He found Yang Zhao, who was with Princess Leping Yang Lihua, and assassinated the man he met in the harem. Yang Zhao and Yang Lihua were told about the incident, and the latter two were taken aback.
Yang Lihua glanced at Wang Junlin with concern, and said, "I'm going to see Brother Huang, and I'll make the decision for you."
But Wang Junlin shook his head and said: "It's the same sentence, His Royal Highness, don't go to the queen to talk about this matter, otherwise it will only make the queen mother even more murderous towards me. As for the eldest princess, it is also inappropriate. Go find your majesty to speak for me. I will find an opportunity to tell your majesty about this matter today, and with your majesty's wisdom and martial arts, you should not let King Qi and the empress mess around."
What Wang Junlin said made a lot of sense. Yang Zhao and Yang Lihua each sighed when they heard it. They didn't know what to say for a while.
At this time, a palace lady came to report that the banquet had begun and invited them to sit in. The three of them had no choice but to get up and prepare to go to the main hall to sit in.
…
…
Wang Junlin returned to the main hall, the birthday banquet had already started, he asked Xiang Xiang to follow Chen Danying who was in the female guest area, and told him to pay attention to safety, he took Nie Xiaoyu in the main hall, the hall was already brightly lit, hundreds of A large candle made of fragrant whale oil illuminates the hall like daytime. With the sound of drums and pipa, more than a hundred dancers from the Western Regions dance in the hall.
The guests on both sides whispered to each other, or gathered together to talk and laugh loudly, the whole hall was full of laughter and it was very lively.
Wang Junlin saw that his seat was still empty, and the small table was full of dishes, which can be described as delicacies from mountains and seas, such as golden dragon and phoenix crabs from Suzhou; sea worms and mussels from Mingzhou; deer tongue from Liaodong, and The secret dish in the palace soft nail snow cage (steamed white eel) and so on, as well as the precious melons and fruits from all over the place, such as Jiaqing plum, Aijia pear, cherries from Xishu, tangerines from Jingzhou, rose peaches from the Western Regions, all kinds of dishes and fruits are folk dishes. Rare to see in the market place.
Wang Junlin looked as usual, pretending nothing happened, sat down slowly, poured a glass of wine, drank it down, and thought carefully about what Queen Xiao would do after she failed to kill herself. This incident happened in the palace. Although it was in a remote corner, the emperor could not hide it from the emperor. Empress Xiao would definitely tell Yang Guang about it, but there is a big difference in how to say it. Of course, it is definitely not good for her. Although Wang Junlin knew that Yang Guang needed him very much now, he really didn't have much confidence in Yang Guang. After all, one side was a courtier, and the other side was his daughter-in-law and son.
At this moment, a loud shout came from outside the door: "Your Majesty the Emperor and Empress Empress are here!"
In an instant, the main hall became silent, there was no sound, even the music stopped, everyone immediately stood up, stood solemnly, greeted the emperor and empress, and looked at the gate at the same time, Wang Junlin was no exception.
Teams of guards walked in from the door and quickly formed a wall to separate the guests on both sides. Yang Guang and Empress Xiao walked in slowly. A thin layer of powder was also applied on the face, which looked radiant under the light.
Wang Junlin could not see anything from their faces, but when he passed by Wang Junlin, Yang Guang took a deep look at Wang Junlin without showing any emotion, but Wang Junlin immediately understood that his guess was right, Xiao The queen had already told Yang Guang about this matter, and Yang Guang was already very dissatisfied with him.
Yang Guang and Empress Xiao sat behind the throne, and the envoys from East Turkic, Goguryeo, and Silla met with them and presented birthday gifts. Wang Junlin could see clearly that Yang Guang was very happy with the arrival of the foreign envoys. In history, Yang Guang has always had an ideal, that is, all nations come to court, and even caused some scandals that have been laughed at for thousands of years.
The status of the envoys of the three kingdoms is not low. The one from East Turkic is the eldest son of the Turkic Khan, Ashina Duojishi. This son is in his thirties, with a burly body and sharp eyes. The special envoy of the King of Goguryeo is Yuan Tae-jo, the great opponent of his country (equivalent to the prime minister). This is a middle-aged man about forty years old. He is tall and thin. A boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, who looks exactly like Yuan Taizuo, with a slender face and dark eyes, should be Yuan Taizuo's son.
This son is holding a jade ruyi as a birthday gift, but he still holds it in his hand like a knife. Wang Junlin's sharp eyes noticed his fingers, which are slender and strong, as if there is a kind of richness hidden in his fingers. The power of skill, just from the posture in which he holds Yu Ruyi, it can be seen that this is a master of swordsmanship, but Wang Junlin was a little surprised that such a master of swordsmanship appeared in Goguryeo.
