The Empress Dowager will set off for Mount Wutai this evening. They did not choose to leave in the morning because many matters have not been fully settled. However, the Emperor felt that the earlier they left, the sooner they could feel at ease.
So they were asked to set out overnight and a forward troop was dispatched to explore the way half a day earlier than them.
The emperor and his men sent the empress dowager out of the capital. Looking at the mountains rising one after another in the distance and his mother surrounded by the crowd, the little emperor suddenly felt sad.
It would have been fine if he were an ordinary person, but becoming an emperor requires him to endure such pain. Even his own mother covets his position, and the mother and son are in such a quarrel. It is an unpleasant scene.
On this day, the court officially received the notification that a foreign delegation was coming to Beijing. The previous news was all obtained by Shen Yan's spies, and the delegations would only send out visiting cards two days before officially entering Beijing.
The court was in chaos, but anyone with a little bit of common sense could understand what their actions meant. However, those who served as empress dowagers were either of too low a rank and had no say.
Those who had more say were transferred out of the capital. All of a sudden they realized that the little emperor in front of them was no longer the same as before. He was now an emperor who truly mastered the art of being an emperor.
After two days' journey, the Queen Mother had almost reached Mount Wutai. It would take at least two days to get news from the capital, but Chen Yan had already sent people to guard the capital strictly, so the two pigeons could not fly out.
On the day when the delegation officially entered Beijing, the market was very lively. In addition to the people of Dongxia Kingdom, foreigners with strange looks could be seen everywhere in the market.
Lu Dashin was afraid that Lu Wan was not familiar with the work content, so he introduced to Lu Wan all the information he knew about the foreign delegation.
"Five countries came to Beijing this time. The other countries did not participate in their action this time. They are still planning to come to the palace to pay homage before the New Year."
Lu Wan couldn't help but complain in his heart, it was so troublesome and had to be done in two times, it would be better to just come all at once. But then he thought, if there were too many people, it would be difficult to control.
"The five countries this time are the Xiongnu, or the southern barbarians. You saw them at the market before. Their delegation is the second prince Yelu Changqi and a group of officials. One of them looks like a Dongxia person. I don't know if he is mixed-race or a native Dongxia person."
Hearing this, Lu Wan nodded. He Wentian also said at the time that they were southern barbarians. They looked very strong and rough, so it was no wonder that they were called southern barbarians.
"Then there is the Rouran Kingdom. The representative coming this time is still the prince who sent Princess Rouran here. The others are still the same group of people. There is nothing much to say."
