Chapter 58: The Unquenchable Peach Blossom
Yuan Guo is ambitious.
Over the years, it has successively annexed many small neighboring countries.
Recently, he has been trying to reach out to those behind Dayu, and has asked to borrow his way more than once.
Who knows if he is really passing through here, or just exploring the terrain?
Anyway, because this matter was too outrageous, Nie Yao rejected it all.
"Your Highness, hasn't Nie Yao been imprisoned by the Emperor of Yu? Nie Yao is Nie Lingfeng's only son. If his only son is treated like this, the relationship between Nie Lingfeng and the Emperor of Yu will inevitably be irreparably damaged!"
"Now is a good time to take action!"
Such an opportunity only comes once in a lifetime.
If they can't grasp it, how many more years will they have to wait?
The second-in-command said excitedly, "Your Highness, we've already missed an opportunity. We can't miss it a second time!"
"Your Majesty."
Zong Huan felt that sending troops was inappropriate.
Whether rationally or emotionally, he did not think that sending troops to Dayu was a good thing.
He said, "The Nie family's army is invincible. Fighting against them will only deplete Dayuan's national strength."
The Nie family is not easy to mess with.
In comparison, the best strategy is to first take over the Dan Kingdom and then keep a low profile to strengthen oneself.
"Master Zong, what are you talking about? Do you think that Dayuan can't defeat the Nie family?"
The second-in-command was very dissatisfied with Zong Huan's words.
He was afraid of the Zong family.
But now the person in charge of the Zong family is not Zong Huan.
How dare a mere brat act so arrogantly in front of him? The second-in-command snorted coldly, "Didn't Master Zong say he came to Dayu only to look for someone and wouldn't interfere in state affairs?"
"Your Highness, what I say comes from the bottom of my heart. The Nie family's tyranny is an unchangeable fact, and it will not change because of a few words from me."
He sincerely advised the royal family not to go to war with the Yu Kingdom.
He was the only one present who thought so.
It has been too easy to annex small countries over the years, and the top leaders of Yuan State have long forgotten that they were defeated by the Nie family’s army.
Or rather, they don't want to remember.
Officials of the Yuan State all believed that the current Yuan State was no longer the Yuan State it once was. Their national strength had been rising steadily over the years, and they were now strong enough to look down on the world.
On the other hand, the State of Yu.
There was discord between civil and military officials, and the ruler and his subjects were divided.
What is there to fear from a country like Yu?
The officials of Yuan State all agreed with the second-in-command's words and expressed their dissatisfaction with Zong Huan openly and secretly.
"Master Zong, although you are from the Zong family and are well-educated, the affairs of the court are not simply discussed in books. It takes years of experience to understand the changing situation in the world."
"Yes, Master Zong, you are still young and have a lot of time to learn."
"That's right, that's right. If Master Zong finds the idle chatter of us old fellows too boring, why don't you go out for a walk and experience the customs and culture of Yu Country?"
It was almost clear that he was being driven away, and Prince Duan did not speak to stop him.
It would be tactless for him to stay here any longer.
Zong Huan was not angry even though he was ostracized by everyone.
"You are right." He said goodbye to Prince Duan, and then ordered his entourage to pack up and leave Sifang Pavilion.
"Sir, do you want to go to the young master's residence?" asked the attendant.
"Need not."
Zonghuan wanted to live in the palace.
This way I can get closer to that person.
But I had just been rejected bluntly by the other party, so it might not be so easy to get in again at this moment.
After careful consideration.
Zong Huan set his sights on the demolition team in the palace.
"Mr. Qian." Zong Huan was lucky and soon met Qian Duo on the road leading to the palace.
After a polite greeting, he took out the money.
A box of gold.
Enough to make a lot of money stop.
"For me?"
"Yes, this is a gift I specially prepared for you."
Zong Huan was generous and polite, unlike those self-righteous scholars who were so proud of their status that their noses were raised to the sky.
I have a lot of money and I have a good impression of him.
"Then I won't be polite."
He got off his horse and put the money in his pocket, saying politely, "If you have any requests, please tell me now. I'm busy!"
His family has something to ask him again.
There's nothing he can do about it. He has a lot of money and is valued by the adults.
He has already been asked to manage the No. 2 base, but that’s not enough. He also needs to be assigned an important task.
It is said to be the most important matter in history.
The adult didn't look for anyone else, the first person he thought of was that he had a lot of money!
Hehehehehehehehehe...
Lots of money and a silly grin.
Zong Huan didn't understand why he suddenly laughed, but he also knew that it had nothing to do with him so he didn't ask questions out of curiosity.
"I am not an official, so it is not convenient for me to live in the Sifang Pavilion with the Dayuan envoy." Zong Huan took out a stack of silver notes, which were accepted almost everywhere in the world. "I heard that Your Excellency has been renovating the palace recently. I have never lived in an imperial palace, so I can't help but yearn for it. I wonder if Your Excellency could arrange a suitable residence for me in the palace so that I can enjoy its beautiful buildings and rooftops?"
It doesn't have to be too good, as long as it's livable.
Zong Huan's requirements are not high.
But the banknotes he gave were a huge stack.
A rough look shows that there are at least one to eight hundred thousand.
I have a lot of money and my hands are itching.
I want it so badly.
"No, I don't have that right!"
Thanks to the fact that I have been drinking the decoctions that the director of the Imperial Hospital said were added with many precious medicinal materials these days, it is no longer so difficult to resist the temptation when I have a lot of money.
He only glanced at so many banknotes for a few more seconds before looking away.
"You can only go to His Majesty for this matter, otherwise no one will dare to let you in." Considering Zong Huan's politeness, Qian Duoduo told him the truth before getting on the horse.
"Sir, please wait!"
Zong Huan saw that he was really anxious, so he spoke a little faster, "I am a commoner, I am afraid it is difficult for me to see Your Majesty."
He still had to pay a lot of silver notes.
But this time I asked him to help convey a message.
This is not difficult.
He collected a large amount of money, asked Zong Huan's name, wrote it down, and agreed to the other party's request.
"Wait, I'll give you an answer in an hour at most!"
After saying this, he spurred his horse and galloped towards the palace.
"grown ups!"
"grown ups!!"
Qian Daduo was holding the banknotes and silver, smiling with two rows of white teeth showing, "Look, we're making money again!"
As usual, half was given to Nie Yao.
Nie Yao didn't rush to answer.
Thinking of the recent potential victims in the capital, he became alert and asked, "Who gave you these?"
"He said his name is Zong Huan!"
There was a lot of money and nothing to hide.
He told Zong Huan everything that happened just now.
Nie Yao gritted his teeth, "He said he wanted to live in the palace?"
"Yes!" Qian had so many flowery words that he couldn't remember them all, so he just stuttered and repeated them, racking his brains. "He said... something about him wanting to go to the palace, and fly with a basket of painted something or other."
Okay, got it.
Nie Yao raised his hand and told him not to embarrass himself.
"So you agree?" he asked.
“No!”
How could I possibly agree to this when the money is so high?
Although this palace is big enough to accommodate the entire military camp, it is ultimately my sister-in-law's residence!
Qian Duoduo waved his hands repeatedly to prove his innocence, "He told me to bring a message to His Majesty, and then he gave me the money!"
It's just a message, isn't it?
Qian Duoduo glanced at his master guiltily.
