NFBE Chapter 393 Nan Zhao Envoy
Chapter 393 Nan Zhao Envoy
The eighth day of the new year.
Today is the opening day of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Since it is the first day of court after the New Year, many things are concentrated at once, so needless to say, there will be a lot of things to do today.
But what the emperor and his court officials did not expect was
The emperor had just sat down on his exclusive throne when envoys from the Nanzhao Kingdom were already waiting outside the court.
They requested to meet the emperor and present their credentials.
"The envoys from Xuannan Zhao Kingdom have come to the palace."
The envoy from Nanzhao this time was the Censor Song of Nanzhao.
He looked to be about 40 years old, short in stature, and looked a little shabby in his grey official uniform.
However, the impression he gave people was that of being respectful and polite.
He respectfully handed over the letter from the Kingdom of Nanzhao, which was delivered to Eunuch Yu by the eunuch serving in the hall.
Eunuch Yu opened the letter, confirmed it was correct, and handed it to the emperor.
The emperor sat on the throne and had no expression on his face after reading the letter.
"Read this letter once so that everyone below can hear it."
He instructed Eunuch Yu.
Eunuch Yu looked at the respectful envoys below, and then at the court officials who looked worried.
He opened the letter of credence and began to read.
The central idea of this letter is that the Nanzhao Kingdom sent envoys here to tell the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty that Xuanyuan Jing has arrived in the Nanzhao Kingdom.
Xuanyuan Jing is the son of Princess Song Xue of the Nanzhao Kingdom, so he also has the bloodline of the Nanzhao royal family and is qualified to inherit the throne of Nanzhao.
So after Xuanyuan Jing, he was no longer the King of Qing of the Great Xia Dynasty, but the Crown Prince of the Nanzhao Kingdom.
In addition, the main mission of Censor Song this time, in addition to submitting the letter from the credible state, he also has another mission.
That is, he brought their Princess Song Xue back to Nanzhao Kingdom under the order of Emperor Nanzhao.
As for the fact that Song Xue had put a curse on the emperor, which almost cost him his life, there was no mention of it in the letter.
It's as if this never happened.
After Eunuch Yu finished reading the letter from the Kingdom of Nanzhao, the entire court fell silent.
They were all stunned by Nan Zhaoguo's arrogant attitude.
"Imperial Censor Song, right?"
Little Prince Fu was so angry that he laughed.
"I wonder how you will explain what your so-called Princess Song Xue did to our emperor?"
Censor Song bowed and saluted the young Prince Fu.
"What the princess did, our emperor can only make a decision after she returns to Nanzhao and asks her clearly."
That means that they will not admit the charges brought against their princess by the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Is it possible that Censor Song meant that our Great Xia Dynasty slandered its own Concubine Dowager?"
Censor Zhao stepped forward to confront the envoy from Southern Zhao.
Since everyone is a censor, if he doesn't come out and show his skills at this time, he would be unworthy of his reputation as a stubborn person.
"I believe you all know the details of this matter better than we do..."
As expected of Censor Song, who was born as a Censor, what he said is... quite interesting.
"We don't know, please ask Censor Song to explain..."
Censor Zhao asked further.
"Song is just an envoy, entrusted by my master to come to the Great Xia Dynasty to welcome our princess home."
Censor Song did not respond to Censor Zhao's words, but instead bowed to the emperor who was sitting in the upper seat.
"Your Majesty, please grant me your blessing."
"I'll help your grandma."
Prince Fu was angry.
"You little dwarf, you are short but you have a lot of tricks up your sleeve. What do you mean by those ambiguous words you just said?"
Not only is he the prince of Prince Fu, he is also the chief justice of the Dali Temple of the Great Xia Dynasty. It is just right for him to speak out and scold people now.
No one present thought there was anything strange about him swearing.
Including the envoys from the Nanzhao Kingdom.
They had also heard about the arrogance and domineering behavior of Prince Fu.
"Song was just telling the truth, and he didn't mean anything else."
Censor Song had seen all kinds of scenes, and he spoke calmly to the young Prince Fu.
"Bah...you treacherous villain."
Little Prince Fu wanted to spit him in the face.
"What you mean is that the Great Xia Dynasty cannot tolerate the Qing Queen and her son, and those things are crimes to accuse them?"
"Song never said that."
Censor Song answered calmly as always.
"You didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning is clear."
Censor Zhao was not polite either.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand. Nanzhao is just a tiny country. Where did they get the courage to come to our Great Xia Dynasty to ask for someone?"
"I want to know, too."
The emperor also spoke.
"I know the reason."
Little Prince Fu added.
Seeing that everyone in the hall was looking at him, Prince Fu did not directly state the reason.
Instead, he asked Censor Song a question.
"I wonder if Xuanyuan Jing, who has become your crown prince, has changed his surname back to the royal family of Nanzhao Kingdom?"
The royal family of Nanzhao Kingdom is surnamed Song.
"Your Highness, our Crown Prince Nan Zhao did not change his surname."
Censor Song still answered respectfully.
"That's it. Xuanyuan Jing wants to return to the Great Xia Dynasty in the future and sit in the position that the emperor is sitting on now."
The words of Prince Fu woke up everyone in the court.
That’s right. Since Prince Qing is the crown prince of the Nanzhao Kingdom, he is no longer a member of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Why does he insist on using the surname Xuanyuan?
This purpose is blatantly obvious.
"This is just your Highness's guess, it cannot be counted."
Censor Song smiled good-temperedly.
"Since you said it was a guess, then I will make a bold guess. Could it be that Xuanyuan Jing wants to bring the territories of the Great Xia Dynasty and the Southern Zhao Kingdom together..."
"He can't even think about it..."
“I really don’t know what the hell…”
The emotions of the court officials were immediately aroused by the young Prince Fu, and they all shouted in indignation.
"Your Majesty, I request your permission to attack the Nanzhao Kingdom. I will not return to the capital until the Nanzhao Emperor is beaten to a pulp."
At this time, the Marquis of Zhenguo walked out of the court, shouting at the top of his voice.
What a joke. If the generals don't come out to calm the situation at this time, when will they come out?
Especially now that we are in a peaceful era, when will those whining intellectuals finally remember their role?
No matter how good-tempered Censor Song was, he couldn't laugh when he heard this.
"Your Majesty, our Emperor Nan Zhao came to discuss with your country sincerely and wanted to welcome Princess Song Xue back to Nan Zhao. What this general said..."
That means that the Marquis of Zhenguo speaks rudely.
"Sincerely?"
Father Huang couldn't help it.
"Since you are here with sincerity, you must have informed us in advance, and our dynasty will arrange post stations in various places."
Mr. Huang’s eloquence is beyond doubt.
"Once you arrive in the capital, we will arrange your accommodation and then submit your letter of credence."
"And now, you have sneaked into our Great Xia Dynasty like a gray mouse, and you dare to lie and say that you are sincere..."
The emperor looked at Father Huang with approval.
As expected of the yellow leaf's father, his tone of voice was as impolite as that of the yellow leaf.
Although this person is usually a bit tearful.
Censor Song, who was also known as the Gray Mouse, looked at his gray official uniform.
He couldn't understand it, because the Great Xia Dynasty claimed to be a country of etiquette.
Can officials of this country of etiquette make personal attacks on envoys from other countries at will?
