I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

"Let the Chen envoy in."

Chen Qingyun could not hide his anger and was ready to hold those Chen people accountable.

They actually dared to bully her, the empress. It seemed that these Chen people were determined to start a war.

A moment later, the guards brought the envoys from the State of Chen into the hall.

According to the etiquette of the two countries, envoys only need to bow and do not need to kneel.

"See His Majesty the Emperor."

The envoy leaned forward and said.

"You, the State of Chen, are so bold that you dare to make things difficult for our Yan State's envoys."

The envoy had just begun to pay his respects when some officials in the court began to blame him.

"Yes, you actually dared to let Patrol Envoy Jiang crawl through a dog hole. Patrol Envoy Jiang is not a dog. Aren't you deliberately humiliating him?"

One of the officials said this, with a hint of mockery in his words.

After hearing this, some officials around him even lowered their heads and laughed.

Jiang Zuo was bullied, but instead of getting angry, they were secretly delighted.

The envoy looked puzzled and asked: "When did we ever make things difficult for your envoy from Yan State?"

"You Chen people really like to lie. The memorial of the Jiang Patrol is here. What else can you say? Don't think that just because you come here to apologize today, we Yan will forgive your arrogance."

These ministers were all very excited, as if they were the ones being humiliated.

Looking at this group of ministers acting, Chen Qingyun shook his head helplessly and asked calmly, "Why are you here this time?"

The envoy leaned forward and said in a tone of complaint: "Your Majesty, I came here to file a complaint?"

"Complain?"

Chen Qingyun frowned, having never expected that the envoy from the State of Chen would actually bite back.

"What do you want to sue?"

The envoy said again: "Your Yan delegation is really too much. When you first arrived in Chen, you not only destroyed our city gates, but also injured our Chen's number one swordsman."

The destruction of the Guangning city gate alone was enough to make the Chen court furious. In their view, destroying the city gate was equivalent to declaring war, so they sent envoys to the Yan court to file a complaint.

"This……"

All the civil and military officials present were stunned.

The memorial from Jiangzuo just now said that it was their Yan State delegation that suffered losses and was bullied by the people of Chen State, but why would the people of Chen State come to complain now?

Everyone in the audience was stunned.

Only the Empress reacted.

What was said in Jiang Zuo's urgent report was absolutely false.

"This Jiang Zuo is pretending to be pitiful again, wanting me to remove him from his position..."

Chen Qingyun smiled helplessly in his heart.

"I have never heard of this matter. Have you investigated it thoroughly?"

Chen Qingyun said in a questioning tone.

"If your majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate."

The envoy said again.

"This is quite strange. I don't believe that Envoy Jiang would do such a thing."

Chen Qingyun said calmly.

She believed very much that Jiang Zuo would do this...

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely true, and I am not lying at all."

The envoy spoke again with great emotion.

So it seems that this must be true.

The pro-war officials secretly praised Jiang Zuo for his courage. Not only did he not lose face for the State of Yan, but he also severely humiliated the people of Chen.

The peace faction began to hope that the emperor would remove Jiang Zuo from his post. After all, this move completely angered the people of Chen and might make the situation even more tense.

"Why would Jiang Zuo destroy your city gate for no reason? There must be some hidden reason behind this."

Chen Qingyun said indifferently, not taking the envoy seriously at all.

Facing these arrogant Chen people, the empress would only say silently: "Jiangzuo has done a good job."

"You came here today just to say this?"

Chen Qingyun was already impatient.

The envoy leaned forward and said, "Yan should send a more sincere envoy, so that the peace talks can go more smoothly."

"I am very sincere. If you, the Chen Kingdom, do not want to talk, we can start a war at any time."

There was majesty in Chen Qingyun's phoenix eyes.

The envoy from the State of Chen was suddenly speechless.

If war could be started, the State of Chen would not have sent envoys.

All the ministers below were stunned and looked at the envoy with strange eyes.

"Go back and tell your Emperor Chen that if you dare to embarrass our Great Yan envoys again, then expect a war. Dismiss the court!"

Chen Qingyun said this domineeringly, then he stood up and left without looking back, leaving the envoy and the officials standing in the hall in a daze.

After leaving the main hall, Chen Qingyun returned to the imperial study.

At this moment, there were many memorials piled on the desk in the imperial study, and among them, there were many more memorials about the border war between Yan and Chen than before.

It seems that there is bound to be a war between the two countries.

The so-called peace talks are nothing more than a way to delay time.

"Your Majesty, a letter from Jiang Zuo."

At this time, Qiuyue walked in with another letter.

Chen Qingyun quickly reached out to take it, feeling inexplicably nervous, and opened the letter to take a look.

"Siyue, I have arrived in Chen State for three days. Everything is fine. Don't worry - Jiang Zuo."

There was only this sentence in the letter.

"Gone?"

Chen Qingyun was completely stunned when he saw the ugly handwriting on the letter.

The letter Jiang Zuo sent to "Miss Siyue" before had a lot to say, but now it has indeed become a little cold.

Chen Qingyun was now feeling regretful in her heart. She regretted giving the envoy position to Jiang Zuo.

In the past few days, Chen Qingyun has been worried that Jiang Zuo would take the opportunity to escape to the State of Chen, but now it seems that Jiang Zuo is not polite to the people of Chen at all.

Even if the envoys from the State of Chen came to complain, the court of the State of Chen should not try to win over Jiangzuo.

I wonder what Jiang Zuo is doing now?

To deal with that group of arrogant Chen people, Jiang Zuo must have encountered a lot of trouble, right?

……

Chen Guo.

Guangning City.

Zuixian Tower.

Prefect Pan held another grand banquet to entertain the envoys from the State of Yan.

"Envoy Jiang, please."

Pan Hou personally poured wine for Jiang Zuo.

"You are too polite, Magistrate Pan."

This time, Jiang Zuo didn't want to drink.

"Envoy Jiang, I am extremely sorry. The Chen Kingdom delegation has been delayed due to heavy rain. Envoy Jiang can only wait in Guangning City for another two days."

Pan Hou said with a somewhat apologetic look on his face.

Jiang Zuo raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "It's okay. It's not bad to stay in Guangning City for a few more days."

"If Envoy Jiang likes, you can stay for a few days. I will definitely entertain you well."

A kind smile appeared on Pan Hou's face again, and then he clapped his hands.

A moment later, several beautiful women dressed in gorgeous clothes came in and danced to the sound of piano.

"Wow." Jiang Zuo's attention was attracted by these dancers for a moment.

"Envoy Jiang, this is specially arranged for you. I don't know if Envoy Jiang likes it. If you like any woman, you can..."

Pan Hou looked at Jiang Zuo with a smile on his face.

Jiang Zuo smiled faintly: "Watch the dance, watch the dance..."

The atmosphere was pleasant.

I am happy here, I don't miss Yan...
