Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 614
All civil and military officials had already gone to the palace early, and two foreign envoys, Liu Yanran and Gongsun Yunxiu, were also waiting in the side hall.

Looking at Gongsun Yunxiu, who looked calm and relaxed, Liu Yanran couldn't help but be a little confused.

Why is she so calm?

Do you really not care about the survival of the Zhou Kingdom?

In the past few days, she had heard that Gongsun Yunxiu had gone out for a few walks, but he had never visited the important civil and military ministers of Qian Kingdom like her.

I have never met Zhao Kang. A visit to Qian Country is treated like a tourist trip, which is really suspicious.

As for Zhao Kang, Liu Yanran also went to the Zhenwang Mansion, but was rejected and did not see Zhao Kang's face.

But now that the prince of Qian Kingdom and the ministers of civil and military affairs have reached an agreement with her, Liu Yanran thought to herself that it was not that important to see Zhao Kang or not.

After a moment.

The chief eunuch came to the side hall and said, "Two special envoys, Your Highness has invited you to come to the hall."

Liu Yanran said politely, and Gongsun Yunxiu just nodded.

The two of them went to the palace together, but saw that the rumored figure of Her Majesty the Empress was not on the dragon chair in the main hall.

Looking around, there was no sign of Zhao Kang.

Liu Yanran couldn't help but frown, and looked at the old master and Xiao Xuance with questioning eyes. Both of them nodded to her, as if to say something.

We'll do the work, don't worry.

From this, Liu Yanran relaxed this time.

After a while, a figure walked in from the door carelessly, yawning continuously.

For a moment all eyes fell on him.

Dressed in court attire, with her hair tied and a crown, she looks quite handsome.

Who is it if it’s not Zhao Kang?
"Good morning, everyone, isn't this Princess Pearl? Long time no see!" Zhao Kang greeted with a half-smile.

Then he walked to a grand master's chair placed in the main hall, sat down on it, and yawned again, as if he hadn't woken up.

Liu Yanran was speechless, has Zhao Kang become so lawless in the Qian Kingdom?

As a national preceptor, it’s okay to be late for court meetings, but he actually treats the public present as if they are nothing!

Looking at the prince Xiao Xuance, he was so angry that his face turned green. He looked like he wanted to eat Zhao Kang!
Liu Yanran couldn't help but think of what she heard the old master Yang Qianyun say the day before yesterday.

"Zhao Kang has been suffering for a long time."

Liu Yanran was still a little doubtful at first, but now she is somewhat convinced.

No king can tolerate such an arrogant and domineering minister.

Even if Liu Yanran was beaten to death, she would not have thought that Zhao Kang's status in the Qian Kingdom was more than just a national teacher with a different surname.

He is still the future husband of Her Majesty the Empress!

And both Zhao Kang and Her Majesty the Empress have made it clear that the world will be handed over to Xiao Xuance in the future.

At that time, Zhao Kangke would not care about anything and let Xiao Xuance and the ministers fiddle with themselves.

It is precisely because of this that the civil and military ministers present did not mind how much Zhao Kang exceeded the rules.

I wish Zhao Kang could make the Qian Kingdom stronger, so that after Zhao Kang retires, it will be their turn to show off the civil and military forces of the Qian Kingdom.

After changing into a comfortable position, Zhao Kang said lazily: "Let's get started. If you have anything to say, say it quickly. I'm still waiting to go back to sleep. You are the same. Didn't everyone tell us that our masters should have a good rest? Why are you still here today?" Do you want me to go to court?"

The arrogant look was really unbearable, but Gongsun Yunxiu looked at Zhao Kang with interest.Then his eyes moved to Liu Yanran, and his eyes became a little pitiful.

"Master Imperial Master, don't be anxious." Xiao Xuance said calmly.

Zhao Kang said impatiently: "Okay, okay, let's talk quickly. What is there to discuss?"

At this moment, the chief eunuch standing next to the dragon chair shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is here!"

Zhao Kang, who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, suddenly stiffened, as if he had heard something incredible, he quickly stood up from the Grand Master's chair and stood up straight.

This look fell in Liu Yanran's eyes, making the ninth princess of Qi nod secretly, and sure enough!

It seems that now in the Qian Kingdom, only Her Majesty the Empress can suppress Zhao Kang.

I saw a figure walking out with the help of a palace maid.

The woman was wearing a dragon robe, and her beautiful face was a little sickly pale, as if she was ill.

But a pair of eyes is indeed very determined!
Even Gongsun Yunxiu couldn't help but be surprised, what a stunning person in the world!
"See Your Majesty!"

Everyone, including Zhao Kang, bowed and paid homage. Only after Her Majesty the Empress sat on the dragon throne and said something about herself, did everyone get up.

Xiao Linglong showed a forced smile and looked at Liu Yanran and Gongsun Yunxiu.

"You must be the special envoys of Qi and Zhou, Princess Mingzhu and Dean Gongsun?"

"The ninth princess of Qi, Liu Yanran, has met Her Majesty the Empress, Her Majesty the Empress." Liu Yanran took the lead.

Gongsun Yunxiu bowed slightly: "Gongsun Yunxiu has met Her Majesty the Empress. Your Majesty is blessed."

"You two noble envoys are very polite."

Xiao Linglong nodded, and immediately asked: "I wonder why you two came all the way here?"

Before Gongsun Yunxiu opened his mouth, Liu Yanran hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Yanran is here to reconcile the two countries."

"Oh? Princess, please tell me clearly."

Liu Yanran: "The two countries of Qi and Qi have gone through three wars in less than ten years. Both countries were severely damaged and the people were in dire straits. For the sake of peace for the two countries and for our country's previous offensive behavior against Qi, Qi is willing to pay you 150 million taels of silver every month. , which lasted one year and totaled 800 million silver."

"I only hope that the two countries will cease war and repair each other!"

After Liu Yanran finished speaking, Zhao Kang immediately jumped up: "Your Majesty, you can't! This is Qi's plan to delay the war! Give me one year, and you can destroy Qi and open up territory for me!"

Her Majesty the Empress did not express her position, but Xiao Xuance sneered and looked at Zhao Kang: "Isn't it wrong for the Imperial Master to say this? To destroy the Qi State within one year? It is simply a fantasy!"

"What do you know, you little brat!" Zhao Kang scolded.

Liu Yanran was dumbfounded, that was the prince!
He might still be the heir to Qian Guo in the future!You actually scolded me like that?
Xiao Xuance was so angry that he was shaking all over and his face was red. Half of it was an act and half of it was real!

Damn old Zhao, I'm 20 years younger. When so many people scold me, I don't want to lose face!
I will write down this grudge first, just wait for me!

"presumptuous!"

Fang Lin, the Minister of Rites, shouted coldly: "Zhao Kang, how dare you speak rudely to His Highness the Prince!"

"Do not talk nonsense!"

Zhao Kang just looked at His Majesty the Empress, "Your Majesty, now that the Qi State has been severely damaged, it no longer has the strength to compete with our Daqian. As long as you give me some time, you can destroy the Qi State!"

"Your Majesty must not be deceived by people from other countries!"

Zhang Mingyuan jumped out and accused: "Zhao Kang, you talk about going to war every day! Where is the money? Where does the money for the war come from! Do you know how much money is left in the treasury now!"
