The edict-proclaiming team came to the vicinity of Song Garden, expecting to see Song Xi leading the whole government out to greet the edict.

Unexpectedly, the closer to the destination, the stronger the guards along the way. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a post for every five steps and a sentry for ten steps.

I don’t know how the Song family’s guards were trained. They were all tall and powerful, and their solemn and majestic atmosphere suppressed the entire street, making every pedestrian passing by tense up.

Although the envoys and the eunuchs who announced the decree were sitting in the carriage, the expressions on their faces were becoming more and more anxious.

If I had any extravagant hopes of accomplishing my mission before I left, now I just hope to save my life.

Sure enough, when the team marched a mile outside Song Garden, they were stopped by nearby guards.

All the people who announced the decree were forced to get off the carriage and were searched and interrogated before being released.

Then the carriage was stopped at the same place, and the entire team that announced the decree had to walk to Song Garden. The eunuch who announced the decree and several envoys were angry and frightened, and they reluctantly suppressed the idea of ​​throwing up their sleeves and leaving due to the situation.

After entering the Song Garden, the group followed the waiter who led the way for a long time.

It wasn't until their patience ran out and their backs and legs ached that they finally met Song Xi and his wife in the exquisite and elegant flower hall.

Maybe I've been away for too long, or maybe I'm under too much psychological pressure.

At this time, the eunuch who announced the decree and several envoys were in a trance. They felt that Song Xi and his wife, who were sitting high on the throne, seemed more powerful than the emperor and empress of Jinling.

The morning sunlight filtered in through the glass window, giving the two of them a golden glow.

The couple in front of them are like gods in the sky, they can change the world with a wave of their sleeves.

"You guys have come all the way here. If you have any questions, please tell me quickly. The prince and princess don't have that much free time to waste with you."

Jian Dong's stern voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the stunned eunuch and several envoys who announced the decree.

When they came back to their senses, they felt doubly embarrassed, so they had to hand over the two imperial edicts with a fake smile.

"These are two decrees issued by His Majesty to Prince Song. Please take the time to review them..."

Jian Dong stepped forward and took the two imperial edicts, checking that they were harmless and harmless before handing them to Song Xi.

Song Xi browsed through it expressionlessly, then threw it back to Jian Dong and said, "Burn it."

"This...!" The eunuchs and envoys who announced the decree showed surprise and hurriedly pleaded: "Prince Song, the emperor is still waiting for your reply in Jinling. Look..."

There must be some certainty as to whether the tax money and tax grains will be paid, and there must be an outcome on how to deal with the marriage grant.

The eunuchs and envoys who announced the decree hoped that Song Xi could give a clear answer, otherwise it would be difficult for them to explain to the emperor when they returned to Jinling.

It's just that Prince Qin Wu's power is too strong, and few people dare to continue speaking.

Several pairs of eyes stared at Song Xi eagerly, unable to hide the embarrassment and fear on their faces.

Song Xi glanced at them casually and said in a cold voice: "I think some of you must have understood the dangers of incest on the way here, so I cannot bear the Emperor's kindness, not to mention that I am not

The lack of heirs, side concubines and concubines will only cause trouble to the family, so please stop worrying about unnecessary things in the future and just take care of your own one-third of an acre of land."

The eunuchs and envoys who heard the decree turned pale and green, thinking that Song Xi was indeed a treacherous minister and traitor. He refused to marry so bluntly and ugly, and he was so audacious that he burned the imperial edict and instead made fun of the emperor.

.

Song Xi ignored their embarrassment and continued: "As for tax money and tax grain... The capital is far away from Jinling Mountain, and the road must pass through rebellious places such as Qilu. The few are weak and do not have enough resources.

Guard, there is no way to leave safely with so much money and food, so let’s drop this matter, don’t overestimate your capabilities.”

The eunuch who proclaimed the decree thought so, but the envoys still wanted to fight for it: "The prince of Song Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, and is brave and good at fighting. He can send his troops south to wipe out the Qilu rebels in one fell swoop..."

songs

In time, we can also receive a batch of sophisticated equipment of unknown origin, arming the rebel soldiers and horses like regular troops. I never fight an uncertain battle, and it is impossible to rush to send troops before knowing the forces behind Gao Dan.

To put down the rebellion, you don't have to worry about the emperor, I will find a suitable opportunity to deal with them."

The eunuchs and envoys who announced the decree were shocked and looked at each other, daring not to say anything else.

The news sent by Song Xi was too shocking, and they needed to digest it before thinking about what to do.

The fact that the Qilu rebels are armed like regular troops shows that there is probably a court force behind the leader of the rebels!

The emperor has lost half of his kingdom and is already in danger. If there are still arrogant ambitions and insiders hiding in the imperial court, can the empire of Great Zhou be maintained?

Song Xi clearly wanted to use them to send a message to the Holy Spirit!

But how could they dare to say such dangerous news casually?!

They originally thought they were just here to declare an imperial edict, and even if the result failed, it would not affect their return to Jinling. Now that they know such terrible news, can they still go back alive smoothly?

…

After seeing off the trembling team announcing the decree, the atmosphere in the flower hall was no longer so serious.

Song Xi changed his indifferent expression and took his wife's little hand with a contented look on his face.

Yu Yalan couldn't help but chuckle, and pointed at him with her delicate white fingers, jokingly saying: "How come the prince is so kind today? He actually sent such important news to the emperor? Those eunuchs and envoys looked timid.

Ru Shu, can you really go back alive and complete your task of delivering the message?"

Song Xi raised his eyebrows with an unworried look on his face, "They will definitely be able to go back alive. I'm still waiting to see Jinling become lively. Xiao Yueze has deliberately conquered the rebels. How can we erase his great achievements?"

'? It's time for Wu Zhongwen to get to know his trusted generals well."

When Yu Yalan heard this, she knew that her husband was ready.

There must have been spies from the Song family among the team announcing the decree, and people would be sent to protect the envoys from all crises along the way.

These cowards who are tasked with spreading the news will definitely be able to return to Jinling and truthfully report Song Xi's disobedience and arrogance. At the same time, they will also reveal the secrets of the Qilu rebels to the emperor and create a rift between the royal family and the Xiao family.

A crack.

Song Xi was very disgusted with Xiao Yueze's jumping up and down, especially when he repeatedly plotted against his wife and children.

The Xiao family's methods are always insidious and vicious, and they are hard to guard against. If they don't give them a strong counterattack, they won't know how to make further progress in the future.

However, Song Xi didn't bother to use the same means to fight back. A real man should fight in an honest manner.

Didn't Xiao Yueze like to hide in the dark in order to hurt others?
