I am in the reincarnation of the heavens

Chapter 82 The mediocre emperor

The Golden Horde is a nomadic country in the north of the Great Zhou, and it is also a strong enemy of the Great Zhou. It has been an enemy of the Great Zhou since the founding of the Great Zhou, and has always won more than lost.

In the beginning, Da Zhou was still able to attack each other with the Golden Horde, but later it was almost overwhelmingly passive, and even lost the most important barrier in the north, the northern Kyushu.

If it weren't for the fact that the Golden Horde had mostly cavalry and was not good at attacking cities, it had been under the fortified city of the Great Zhou for a hundred years, and the Great Zhou might have disappeared by now.

The main task Yang Sheng received was to go deep into the interior of the Golden Horde and destroy the Buddhist kingdom on the ground to complete the task.

It's a pity that he still doesn't know what it is that the Buddha Kingdom fell to the ground.

He only knew that the second temple in one of the two temples on the Jianghu Billboard refers to the Vajra Minglun Temple, the state religion of the Golden Horde Khanate.

But he has never heard of the name of the Buddha Kingdom on Earth.

"About the Golden Horde, do you know a lot?"

Yang Sheng turned to Jiang Xuerou and asked.

Jiang Xuerou nodded and said: "There are quite a few, Mr. Zhang always said that the Golden Horde Khanate is my big Zhou's confidant's trouble.

If the Golden Horde is not eliminated, and the Kyushu in the north is not recovered, our Great Zhou will never have peace.

Moreover, more than ten years ago, a monk from the Golden Horde Khanate came to the Central Plains to challenge the masters of the various factions. He won more than ten matches in a row, and he lost all face in the Central Plains martial arts.

In the end, Master Xuan Bei, the former abbot of Shaolin Temple, tried his best to defeat him, but Master Xuan Bei also died of serious injuries a month later. "

Yang Cheng squinted his eyes and said: "It's very arrogant, of course it's also because the Great Zhou Kingdom is weak, and the Central Plains martial arts don't have enough confidence.

By the way, did you take action at the Heavenly Sword Gate at that time?Also lost in the hands of those monks? "

"It is enough to come to the capital half a month in advance to celebrate His Majesty's birthday, but the Golden Horde came here more than two months in advance. It is obvious that the visitors are not friendly. I have to inform Lord Zhang first."

Jiang Xuerou didn't answer Yang Sheng, and she didn't know if she was really anxious or didn't want to answer, anyway, she just jumped down the city wall and disappeared after a few steps.

Yang Sheng also jumped down the city wall, Ye Meiniang was waiting for him below.

"Boss, Eunuch Han urgently recruits the school lieutenants and envoys in charge of the case to go back to discuss matters."

After finishing speaking, Ye Meiniang looked at the direction where Jiang Xuerou left and curled her lips: "Boss, that girl is from Tianjianmen, she is not from the same way as us.

And you also seriously injured her senior brother and her senior uncle, she is always close to you, she must have no good intentions! "

Yang Sheng suddenly smiled and said, "Then do you think I have no good intentions when I approach her?"

Ye Meiniang was taken aback.

Could it be that the boss is really thinking about that girl?
Yang Sheng waved his hand and said, "Just kidding.

But Jiang Xuerou was born in Tianjianmen, and Zhang Xiren trusted her, this identity is still very useful.

I don't have any other thoughts about her, just take a step ahead of time, what if it will be needed in the future? "

Ye Meiniang was still a little puzzled.

after?when was that
After returning to Yushousi, all the captains and case envoys of Yushousi gathered in the main hall in less than half an hour.

Eunuch Han said sharply: "The mission of the Golden Horde has entered Beijing and will meet His Majesty tomorrow.

The barbarians of the Golden Horde have always been ambitious. In order to prevent them from causing trouble tomorrow, I, the Chief of Defense, will enter the imperial city from today and join the imperial army to participate in the defense of the imperial city.

Many of you are from the Forbidden Army, and you are already familiar with this, so you don't need to tell me more.

Those who are not from the Forbidden Army don't mess with the command, hand over the people under your command temporarily, and follow me into the hall to protect His Majesty! "

"As ordered!"

Yang Sheng stood up and answered with hands clasped with everyone, and at the same time his heart moved.

He is not a school lieutenant from the Forbidden Army, so he will go to the hall with Eunuch Han to protect the emperor.

This also meant that he was finally able to see the Great Zhou Emperor with his own eyes.

Although seeing it doesn't mean you can talk, but at least it's an improvement, so you don't have to worry about failing the mission for no reason.

The officer in charge of guarding the imperial city had already entered the imperial city at night and began to distribute defensive locations.

However, Yang Sheng and others entered the main hall of the palace with Eunuch Han in the early morning of the next day, and they were scattered in the center of the guards around the hall.

Yang Sheng's position is not bad, he is standing obliquely behind the center of the hall, Eunuch Han is not far from him, and he can see most of the scenes in the hall at a glance.

An hour later, Zhou Heng, Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and many ministers entered the hall.

This is the first time Yang Sheng has seen this target who is closely related to his mission and needs to be protected from death.

Zhou Heng himself is a bit older than his actual age. He should be only approaching his forties, but he actually looks like he is in his 40s.

His face is white and beardless, and his appearance is upright, but his body is a little frail and thin, and he looks like he has lost his kidney essence.

Even though he was wearing a dragon robe, he didn't actually have much aura of a emperor, instead he yawned from time to time, feeling a little tired and tired.

After coming for such a long time, Yang Sheng also knew what kind of person Zhou Heng was from the hearsay of everyone and the news he had inquired about.

Don't look at the fact that there are many wars in the Great Zhou Dynasty, external and internal troubles, and natural and man-made disasters, but in fact, few things are really Zhou Heng's fault.

These things already existed in his grandfather and father's generation, but his generation has gradually deteriorated.

Zhou Henglun's behavior is definitely not a faint king.

There is no major construction work, no extravagant enjoyment, and the treatment of ministers can be regarded as lenient, even to the point of weakness.

At most, he likes to donate a few concubines and play hide-and-seek without clothes in the back garden.

As far as this is concerned, there is no large-scale drafting of women, just sneaking and finding some innocent people to enter the palace.

But Zhou Heng is definitely not a Mingjun.

He has been on the throne for 20 years, and he has almost achieved nothing. He obeys the orders of the ministers, and he also listens to the orders of the empress dowager.

So Zhou Heng, the emperor, has no authority and no right to speak.

To describe Zhou Heng in one sentence is mediocrity, extremely mediocrity.

If Great Zhou was in its prime now, then a temperless emperor like Zhou Heng might still be praised as a wise emperor.

But it's a pity that the world is in trouble now. As a monarch and emperor, being mediocre is a mistake in itself.

Yang Sheng looked around and saw some of the strongest forces in the court today.

Qingliu is headed by Zhang Xiren.

This old man is the elder of the three dynasties, and also the teacher of the prince, with a respected status.

All his official uniforms are covered with patches. This is not intentional frugality, but besides the official robes, he only has one set of casual clothes that he can change back and forth.

Opposite Zhang Xiren is Cai Yan, the grand master of the dynasty.

The most powerful minister of the Great Zhou court, and also the most important minister of the late emperor, is said to be highly valued by the empress dowager.

It's just that he is corrupt and takes power, and his reputation in the court and among the people is not very good.

The other is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his early fifties, wears a python robe, and has a domineering demeanor.

He is the uncle of the current emperor, the Eighth Prince Zhou Bingzhi, and the favorite youngest son of the Empress Dowager.

It is said that when Zhou Heng's grandfather chose to pass the throne, he was entangled in whether to pass the throne to his favorite young son, or choose to pass the throne to Zhou Heng's father.

In the end, Zhou Heng's grandfather decided to pass the throne to Zhou Heng's father. After all, it was the national policy of the Great Zhou Dynasty to establish a son and a son. Even though the empress dowager objected, the throne still fell into the hands of Zhou Heng's father.

However, Zhou Heng's father was unlucky. He died of illness after sitting on the throne for a few years. At this time, Zhou Heng was still a half-teenage boy, but the Eighth Prince was already in his twenties.

The Eighth Prince thought that it would be his turn to be the throne at this time, but in the end, he was unanimously opposed by the court, complaining about his brother's death and illegal etiquette.

In the end, the Eighth Prince also failed to ascend the throne, so he could only watch Zhou Heng sit on the throne, and he had to salute him.

In short, Yang Sheng took a look around and found that the Great Zhou court was not only chaotic on the outside, but also chaotic inside.

"The envoy of the Xuanjin Horde has an audience."

As a young eunuch yelled, another little eunuch outside the palace gate immediately followed the last word and yelled, and the cycle went on and on until it reached outside the palace gate.

After a while, eight envoys from the Golden Horde and three monks walked slowly into the hall.

The first envoy was about 30 years old, but the grassland was very windy and sandy, so people in the Golden Horde looked older, and the face of this envoy was about 40 years old.

"Envoy of the Kingdom of Eternal Glory, pay homage to His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor."

The envoy of the Golden Horde didn't bow down, but put his left hand on his chest and gave a slight salute, which made the complexions of many ministers present turn black at the same time.

The Golden Horde also knelt down to salute, but in the end, the envoy just performed a bosom salute, making it clear that he looked down on Da Zhou.

Moreover, the Golden Horde claims that it is a country of glory and eternal sun, which means that the sun sets on the top of the Great Khan's golden tent, and the glory will never set.

This country name is extremely arrogant and arrogant. In the past, it was fine for them to call it by themselves, but today they even took it to the Da Zhou Palace to say, this is simply humiliating Da Zhou!

Zhang Xirendang snorted coldly: "Ignorant and barbarian, don't know etiquette!"

The envoy of the Golden Horde looked at Zhang Xiren with a smile: "The words of Master Zhang are so strange that all the barbarians are ignorant?
I have studied the Four Books and Five Classics since I was a child, and I can be regarded as proficient in literature and ink. Is it possible that just because I was born in the grassland, I am considered an ignorant barbarian? "

Zhang Xiren said in a cold voice: "Since you have just mastered literature and ink, why are you so rude when you meet my Great Zhou Emperor in my hall?"

The envoy of the Golden Horde shook his head and said: "The words of the great scholar are wrong. Who compiled this ritual? You are from the Central Plains, but our Khanate also has our own rituals.

When your envoys from Great Zhou met with the Great Khan of our country, you never followed the etiquette of our Khanate. Why do you have to observe the etiquette of Great Zhou today?

Zhang University is a scholar with a wealth of knowledge and five cars. Doesn’t it mean that he doesn’t even know the saying, don’t do to others what you don’t want to be done to others? "

Seeing a man with a rough face full of wind and sand, gentle and gentle, with a calm attitude, leaving Zhang Xiren, a dignified scholar, speechless, how weird is this scene.
