Chapter 239 Letter from Jiankang
The day before Tuoba Yu ascended the throne, Xiao Yucheng delivered a letter to Zheng Wei. She opened it and glanced at it, raised her head to look at Xiao Yucheng in doubt, then lowered her head to read it carefully, then raised her head again to look in disbelief. Looking at him: "Is this true?"

Xiao Yucheng nodded solemnly.

"How is it possible?" Zheng Wei still couldn't believe what she saw, "What does His Majesty think?"

"I don't know exactly what's going on," Xiao Yucheng said with a serious expression, "It seems we have to go back!"

Knowing the news, Zheng Wei couldn't sit still, and immediately went to find King Ling.

"Little uncle, have you received a letter from Jiankang?"

King Ling was standing in the courtyard looking at a budding locust tree, Zheng Wei walked behind him and asked softly.

"Yeah..." King Ling seemed to be awakened by Zheng Wei's voice, and turned to look at her, "Wei'er is here!"

"Little uncle, do you know what happened to Jiankang? Why did His Majesty appoint a national teacher?"

Zheng Wei asked.

"I don't know the specifics. Jiankang sent a letter saying that this national teacher is somewhat capable. He was the son of the former leader of the Heavenly Teacher"

Halfway through King Ling's speech, Zheng Wei cut him off, gritted his teeth and said, "My name is Zhang Ruo, he's a decent old bastard!"

"You know him?" King Ling was a little surprised that Zheng Wei knew him.

"I would know him even if he turned into ashes! He sent someone to arrest me!"

If that old bastard Zhang Ru stood in front of her, she would definitely beat him so hard that he couldn't even stand up, and then throw him into prison to pay for the sins he committed all these years!
"Little uncle, we have to go back quickly. Zhang Ruo is so courageous. It turns out that the mouse that has been hiding in the gutter dared to walk in front of people openly. He must have a plan!"

When Zheng Wei thought of the person she had searched for for a long time but failed to catch, unexpectedly came out by himself, and became some kind of national teacher, she wished she could fly back to Jiankang immediately to reveal the person's true face.

"I have to go back. The purpose of this trip to Wei is to take you back, and the second is that Dazhou experienced the Northern Expedition and civil strife in a short period of time. It can only try to seek an alliance. Unfortunately, the civil strife in Wei this time It is not easy for the future new emperor of Wei to be able to fight without bloodshed!"

King Mausoleum sighed regretfully, "But tomorrow is Tuoba Yu's enthronement ceremony, and it doesn't mean that you can go back when you go back. You have to deliver the booklet to the Wei court first, and wait for the reply from the Wei court. Everything should be properly arranged Then we can set a date to leave."

"How long will it take?" Zheng Wei asked.

"It will take five days at the earliest, and you have to ask Lu Zhan of Honglu Temple for the specific time." King Ling comforted her, "Don't be in a hurry. If we go back quickly, it will take at least one month. If you are not ready You will suffer on the road."

Zheng Wei nodded, "I was too anxious when I heard the news, and now I realize that there are still a lot of things to do."

After she said goodbye to King Ling, King Ling patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry, little girl, Your Majesty must have been deceived by the traitor. He loves you the most. If you know the true face of this person, he will definitely be punished." of."

Zheng Wei left from King Mausoleum, thought for a while and went to the county government mansion first, and found the county magistrate.

"How is the case in Mingyue Tower going?"

"A total of 30 of those girls were abducted from Dazhou. Master Zhang of the Dazhou Mission has placed them in the post house in Pingcheng. Besides, there are many children who died before they were ten years old. Those who survived by chance were sold into brothels or noble houses as maids and concubines when they were eleven or twelve years old. It would be too difficult for these people to find them."

Zheng Wei also knows that those people are either forced by the situation or accept the reality, it will be very difficult for them to leave.

"If you can find it, ask them for help. As long as they are willing to leave, find a way to help them. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me!"

She left the county office, hesitated again and again and handed over the paperwork to the palace, so she could say goodbye to Tuoba Yu before leaving.

At this time, Tuoba Yu met Cui Yan in the side hall of Changsheng Palace in plain clothes.

"Your Highness, today Lu Zhan, Minister of the Honglu Temple of the Dazhou Mission, handed over the document to the minister, saying that His Majesty will leave for the country after assuming the throne."

Cui Yan handed the document to A Su who was at the side, and then replied.

Tuoba Yu opened it, took a look, and asked Cui Yan, "Aren't they here to discuss the covenant? Is it settled?"

Cui Yan shook his head, and said with some doubts: "Although their mission said they were asking for peace, Chen Guan they don't care about it. They have objections to most of the conditions we put forward, and they have been negotiating for a long time and still push back. We are in charge of the peace talks. Several of my colleagues feel that the Great Zhou Mission is not sincere, but they have come all the way, so it is impossible for them to have no intentions. But now I don’t know what they are supposed to be doing.”

Tuoba Yu pondered for a moment and asked Ah Su, "Ah Ong, did the people sent to watch them pay back? Are there any abnormalities? What have you been doing these past few days?"

A Su lowered his head and replied: "Your Highness, the Mausoleum King of the Great Zhou Mission and several ministers visited the city for a few days, and then stayed in the post house and rarely went out, and rarely had contact with outsiders. "

"Looking at it this way, it doesn't seem like there is a conspiracy." Cui Yan stroked his beard, wondering what they meant.

Tuoba Yu thought of Zheng Wei, when he heard that Emperor Zhou loved this niece very much when he was in Jiankang, he also respected the eldest princess very much.

Could it be that Emperor Zhou mobilized so many people to pick up Zheng Wei?

Just when several people were puzzled, a servant brought the booklet that Zheng Wei had handed over.

Now Zheng Wei still wears a silver mask when going in and out of government offices and palaces, so everyone knows that she is the future emperor's person.She handed over the folded uterus to the servant, who didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly brought it up.

Tuoba Yu saw that Zheng Wei was going to enter the palace to bid farewell, and after thinking about it, he suddenly said to Cui Yan, "The past few days were an eventful spring, and I didn't hold a banquet for the Dazhou embassy. It's a bit rude to say Yes. Now that the Da Zhou mission is leaving, no matter what, we must hold a banquet to practice, otherwise Da Zhou will laugh at me, Da Wei, for being rude and ignorant of etiquette."

Cui Yan nodded when he heard the words, this is indeed due etiquette, he lowered his head and said to Tuoba Yu, "I'm going to discuss with the Ministry of Rites about the schedule and there is still time."

After Tuoba Yu nodded, Cui Yan saluted and retreated.

The banquet was held three days after Tuoba Yu's ascension to the throne, because it was the Great Wei court's banquet for the Great Zhou mission, this time Zheng Wei had to attend.

Fortunately, the King of Mausoleum brought the royal clothes of the princess, and after packing them properly, Zheng Wei, brothers and sisters followed the Mausoleum, Lu Zhan, Xiao Yucheng and a dozen people into the Great Wei Palace.

Many people in the palace had seen Jing'er before, so in order to save trouble, she covered her face with a veil.

However, Princess Danyang is so famous in the Wei Dynasty. It was rumored that Princess Danyang was auctioned off in Mingyue Tower, and was taken into the mansion by the original third prince.

Now that the Great Zhou Mission is visiting, Princess Danyang is among the accompanying people. Even if Zheng Wei wants to keep a low profile, the courtiers of the Great Wei will glance this way from time to time, wanting to know what was auctioned that day and what is on the main hall today. Could it be the same person.

What made Zheng Wei heave a sigh of relief was that the people who could participate in today's banquet were all court officials and honorable ministers above the third rank in the court, these people knew how to measure themselves, and would not do anything that would damage the face of both parties.

While drinking and drinking, Zheng Wei enjoyed singing and dancing while eating fruit, quite bored.

At this time, Cui Yan, who was opposite, stood up suddenly and saluted Prince Ling, "This peace talk was originally for the purpose of repairing the alliance between the two countries. Unfortunately, the two sides did not reach a consensus. The old minister has an idea, please listen to His Royal Highness the King of Ling!"
