Thinking of this, Zhao Zongyang felt slightly guilty: it was all because of himself that Ran Dongye suffered such an "unjust injustice". In fact, he had no absurd idea of ??marrying her. It was just propaganda. That¡¯s all.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that Zhao Tianyun would be so ruthless that he would come to propose marriage. Wouldn¡¯t this be pushing Mr. Hou and Princess Dongye into the fire pit? With the gimmick of getting married, the hookup between the two was completely finalized in the eyes of the world.
Making things out of nothing and making things come true has always been Zhao Tianyun's specialty. During the more than ten years of ruling Kaiyuan, he repeatedly proved his expertise all the time.
"What envoy is so arrogant and wants the Marquis to go out?" Cheng Luoyan shouted to the guard dissatisfied: "If you want to see the Marquis, let him come in by himself. We can't get used to the virtues of the Zhou people!"
"But he said that His Majesty's order must be announced in public, and and he is also an acquaintance of the Marquis" The guard stumbled and said: "When I was in Kaiyuan City, I often talked to the Marquis. Dealing with it.¡±
"To protect against the cold weather?" Zhao Zongyang blurted out. In Dazhou, apart from Ran Dongye, the only person who could be called an acquaintance with him was Yu Tianhan, the consort.
"Well, I'll go out to see him." If it were another envoy from the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Zongyang might not give him this face. But the Marquis knew Yu Tianhan quite well, and he was not a person who didn't appreciate praise. If he had to go out on his own, it wouldn't be for show, but really under the orders of the Emperor of Zhou.
The top priority now is to buy time with Da Zhou. Give Cheng Luoyan ample opportunities to train his troops. There is really nothing to worry about these trivial matters.
Zhao Zongyang quickly walked out of the Hou Mansion. As soon as he walked out of the gate, he saw Dazhou's majestic guard of honor. Yu Tianhan, dressed in black robe, stood in the middle, his expression as solemn as ever.
And the streets outside the door are lined on both sides. People from Yanbei have been surrounded for a long time. The whole Yanbei is spreading the news that the Marquis proposed marriage to Dazhou. Now they see such a big battle in Dazhou. They all estimate that 80% of it is related to this.
"Long time no see, Zongyang is still so handsome and handsome." Zhao Zongyang appeared. Yu Tianhan, who had always been expressionless, finally showed a smile and said hello.
"Brother Yu is still so majestic. He just said a casual sentence and started such a big battle. Da Zhou is really majestic." Zhao Zongyang teased with a smile.
"This is not what Brother Yu himself meant. It's about eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor. I hope Zongyang understands." Yu Tianhan looked a little embarrassed on the surface, but in his heart he scolded Zhao Zongyang: You are so cruel. Ah, it has only been a few days since it was under my nose. He actually secretly abducted Dongye's heart, making me a sinner of "inadequate care" in the eyes of the Zhou royal family.
Especially this time, it actually went so far as to propose marriage. Dong Ye was even more exaggerated and kept talking for you in front of His Majesty. Even a fool can see how important you are in her heart. He even did not hesitate to contradict His Majesty because of this, which made Long Yan furious.
¡°Now that Dongye is also banned, which makes me have to make this trip, you are still enjoying yourself here.
"Brother Yu should have brought news about the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty." Zhao Zongyang asked: "Your Majesty, the Great Zhou Dynasty, when are you planning to arrive in Yanbei? It would be better for me to make some preparations."
The later the better, just take your time, the longer it takes, the more room the Marquis will have to operate.
"Zongyang, I'm afraid you have to wait until your Majesty comes to Yanbei County in person." Yu Tianhan shook his head.
"What, your emperor doesn't dare to see me?" As soon as Zhao Zongyang heard the news, his heart beat: If a war starts immediately, the Yanbei Army will be vulnerable in its current state.
The new recruits trained by Cheng Luoyan still need time to hone, and the veterans of the three major families also need time to integrate, and these people have long been frightened by Da Zhou, and their spirits are very low. If they want to regain their The combat effectiveness will not be less than training new recruits.
In short, now we have to race against time, and every moment we can delay is every moment.
"It is impossible for His Majesty to condescend and come to Yanbei, but he also passed down the message." Yu Tianhan shook his black robe and said seriously: "If you still want to see Dong Ye again in this life, If you take a look, please come to Dazhou!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked. The originally noisy street suddenly became audible. Everyone understands that letting Zhao Zongyang go to Dazhou means what does it mean to Yanbei?
The group of dragons has no leader and is at the mercy of others!
And what situation will Zhao Zongyang encounter in Dazhou? A sheep entering a tiger's mouth may die at any time.
"Master Hou, goNo. "Cheng Luoyan said angrily: "Everyone knows about Dazhou's ambition. Once the Marquis goes to Da Zhou, the most basic safety of life is no longer guaranteed. "
"Yes, you can't go." Zhao Xun also said hurriedly: "Dazhou is not a place that talks about benevolence and righteousness. It is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den."
Yu Tianhan glanced at it coldly and said in a deep voice: "The two armies are fighting and we haven't killed the envoys yet. How could we, the Great Zhou, attack the guests we invited? But you Kaiyuan people have been dishonest for a long time. Don't I think everyone in the world is as shameless as you Kaiyuan!"
In response to his words, the people of Yanbei who were watching were very angry: the Zhou people were too arrogant. What kind of faith do these ferocious wolves have to say? If you tell me, you will laugh to death!
"How about it, do Zong Yang dare to go?" Yu Tianhan said: "Your Majesty, I understand very well. If you want to meet, you can either go to Dazhou or meet on the battlefield!"
Zhao Zongyang frowned: This is the reason why the Emperor Zhou ordered Yu Tianhan to be announced in public. They wanted the people of Yanbei to see with their own eyes the weak side of Lord Marquis and the loneliness he felt when he retreated. This is not a small blow to the people of Yanbei.
Now in Yanbei, Mr. Hou is the absolute backbone and the source of confidence for many people to continue. If they see that the Marquis is timid and shrinking, the morale of the entire Yanbei will suffer a fatal blow. Dazhou's iron cavalry had unimpeded access and could easily occupy this land.
As for the possibility of Mr. Hou agreeing to go, they may not have considered it at all. The facts are obvious, as soon as you go, you will be like a sheep in a tiger's mouth. In the past ten years or so in Kaiyuan, all of them have been as timid as mice. How could anyone have such courage and courage?
But this time, Mr. Hou will disappoint them.
"Thank you, the Emperor, for your kind invitation. Then I will go there." Zhao Zongyang said calmly: "But before the ugly talk comes, I will not bring any gifts. And my life requirements He is very tall and needs to be well-dressed, well-fed, and served with delicacies from both mountains and seas. I wonder if Dazhou can afford to raise him?"
Yu Tianhan, who was so calm, could not hide the shock in his heart at this time: Is this guy possessed by a demon, or is he so ambitious that he actually dares to take risks?
Could it be that he really has a life-and-death commitment to Dong Ye, and it is worth taking such a big risk!
Sure enough, I was right about the person. I had known for a long time that he was not a light-hearted person, but I still underestimated him. I didn¡¯t expect that his courage had reached such a level. Was he trying to despise a powerful country with just one person? ?
"Master Marquis, you can't go, you can't go!" Cheng Luoyan hurriedly tried to dissuade him, almost kneeling down on the spot.
"Master Hou, you can't go. The folks in Yanbei can't live without you!" Zhao Xun didn't pay much attention and knelt down directly.
For the sake of all the people in Yanbei, by delaying time and risking one's life, the Marquis is using his own life to exchange for the temporary peace of Yanbei!
The people who were watching also knelt down one after another: "Master Marquis, you can't do this!"
When Yu Tianhan saw this scene, he was even more shocked: In a short period of time, Zhao Zongyang has gained such a high prestige in the hearts of the people in Yanbei. This person really cannot be kept, otherwise he will be a powerful enemy of the Great Zhou sooner or later!
Zhao Zongyang waved his hand and said, "Stop talking about it. I have made up my mind. I will go to Dazhou with Brother Yu in three days."
Cheng Luoyan's eyes were slightly moist. For him, a veteran who has experienced many vicissitudes of life, this has not happened for a long time.
Until this moment, Mr. Hou is still doing everything possible to delay time, even if it is only for three days
As Zhao Zongyang¡¯s personal follower and number one confidant, Zhao Xun felt a different emotion: There was no trace of death sadness in Mr. Hou¡¯s tone, it was just like going on a trip to relax!
At such a moment, Mr. Hou is still so calm, optimistic and confident. He is truly the most outstanding figure in the history of Kaiyuan!
Of course, this "most outstanding figure" was conferred by Zhao Xun himself
"Folks, if you have anything to worry about, please put some energy into it. When I return, we will see if your results have changed Yanbei's appearance." Zhao Zongyang said to everyone, "I am not here. In the days to come, the people of Yanbei must focus on being handsome. In the days to come, I leave it to you to decide what Yanbei will be like!"
As he spoke, he bowed solemnly.
"Master Hou, don't harm the common people!"
"It can't be done, it can't be done!"
Everyone quickly knelt down instinctively,Zhao Zongyang frowned: "How many times have I told you not to kneel? Have you turned a deaf ear to your words?"
The people stood up quickly, with flashing tears in their eyes: People like Mr. Hou are really rare to see in a hundred years. No, it¡¯s a rare occurrence! It's a pity that he has to take risks alone for us
Yu Tianhan was shocked when he saw all this. He glanced at Zhao Zongyang and asked gently: "Do you think it's worth it?" (To be continued)
