Jing Le's maternal uncle was left to guard the border, for no other reason than this.
He lost a bet with his second brother, so he was left to guard the border all alone.
Upon hearing of a secret letter from an enemy country, he immediately perked up.
He was just looking for something to do.
He took the letter, opened it, and read it.
It turns out that the Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor was leading a delegation to Dayong to offer New Year's greetings.
Something just doesn't feel right.
"Go down."
After dismissing the soldiers, Gong Chengyun stroked his chin and paced back and forth in the tent.
I really can't understand why this Southern Kingdom's national advisor is going to the capital.
"What exactly does this Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor want to do? The year is almost over, and he still comes to our country."
"They even said they wished us a Happy New Year. I think there's definitely something wrong with that."
He clapped his hands, went to the desk, picked up his pen, and wrote down what had happened.
A moment later, a guard came and said, "Send this letter to the General as fast as you can."
"yes."
Mid-December.
That night, General Gong received a letter from home on the frontier.
study.
"Look everyone, Yoona sent a letter saying that the Southern Kingdom's National Preceptor is coming to the capital for a visit."
The old general handed the letter to his children and grandchildren and said...
"The Grand Preceptor of the Southern Kingdom? What does he want to do in the capital?"
The older cousin looked puzzled. Although he had never met the Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor, he had certainly heard rumors about him.
Now it can be said that he is the ruler of the Southern Kingdom.
“Indeed, it’s very strange that the Southern Kingdom’s Grand Preceptor suddenly wants to come to the capital. Father, do you think there might be some kind of conspiracy involved?”
My second uncle looked at the letter and couldn't understand it at all.
“There must be something wrong here, we just don’t know it. I’ll go to the palace right away.”
After the old general finished speaking, he picked up the letter and walked out.
The Imperial Palace.
When the Grand General requested an audience, Emperor Jing naturally refused to see him.
So the two talked in secret in the Hall of Mental Cultivation for half an hour before the general left the palace.
A few days later, the visiting card from the southern country was delivered to the Golden Palace.
"What are your opinions, my esteemed ministers, regarding the arrival of the Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor to pay homage to us?"
Emperor Jing sent the visiting card to Eunuch Xu.
Eunuch Xu accepted the visiting card and handed it to the ministers below the stage.
Jing Le rubbed her round little belly with a look of emotion.
Ugh, winter is the perfect time to gain weight. Look at my belly, it's gotten so round!
[By the way, who is this Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor? Why wasn't he mentioned in the story?]
Is this a special case?
[Sigh, this visit feels like it's aimed at me. And it's not a good thing.]
Jing Le looked at the sky outside and sighed softly.
Cultivators at her level all have their own senses, especially about what is about to happen to them.
It served as a warning.
Emperor Jing's eyes flickered upon hearing this.
This Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor is up to no good.
The members of the Gong family and several princes also became vigilant.
They already knew what Jing Le's existence meant to the Great Yong Dynasty.
Just like the greenhouse vegetables that were recently produced, and the fish ponds that the Ministry of War set up.
It's all thanks to Jing Le.
Once spring arrives, Da Yongjue will definitely undergo unprecedented changes.
Jing Le truly ensured that the people had food to eat and did not go hungry.
The Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor's target is Jing Le, so they will definitely keep a close eye on him.
"Your Majesty, I believe that since the Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor wishes to visit our country, we should let them witness the might of our Great Yong..."
"Indeed, I believe this is an excellent opportunity to showcase my abilities..."
The officials didn't take the matter seriously, thinking it was just a routine visit, which was perfect timing since the year was almost over and it was also a time to showcase the grandeur of the Great Yong Dynasty.
That's a valid point of view, but Yuan Zhengqi, Yan Yongning, and the others didn't think it was that simple.
It can make a country's national advisor travel to another country to pay a visit at the end of the year.
It would be hard to believe there wasn't something fishy going on here.
The Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor, whom they were eyeing, had already arrived in the territory of Dayong.
We will arrive in the capital soon.
Meanwhile, some envoys from vassal states and foreign vassals also traveled to Dayong as the year drew to a close, preparing to pay New Year's respects to Emperor Jing and offer tributes.
...
The Ministry of Rites is busy preparing for the arrival of the envoy from the Southern Kingdom, while the Court of Imperial Sacrifices is preparing for the Spring Festival banquet.
Almost the entire capital city was bustling with activity.
Time passed quickly, and the day for the envoys from various countries to visit arrived in the blink of an eye.
And the long-awaited Southern Kingdom National Preceptor was also on the list.
On this day, the main street of the capital was crowded with people watching the envoy delegation enter the capital.
The Imperial Palace.
"The Southern Kingdom's National Preceptor has arrived."
"The envoy from the Rain Kingdom has arrived."
"Their envoy has arrived."
"...."
Several announcements were made in succession.
"Announce."
Before long, a group of foreign envoys entered the Golden Palace.
One of the young men, dressed in a white robe, walked in the middle of the delegation, clearly the central figure.
"I, Wu, have met His Majesty of the Great Yong Dynasty."
The Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor, Wu Zuowei, performed the etiquette of an equal, after all, he was now considered the ruler of a country, and although he did not have the title of emperor, he had already established the power of an emperor.
"Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"
The other vassal states and local vassal kings all paid their respects.
The entire hall was bustling with activity.
Jing Le glanced at the young imperial advisor standing in the very center and raised an eyebrow.
[Isn't this Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor just a younger version of the demon Shi Changfeng?]
Good grief, I haven't even come looking for you yet, and you've already shown up at my door.
