Chapter 760: Honesty

The entry of the Sword Pavilion Pavilion Master into Beijing was not arranged by the imperial court, and it was more like a private visit, so the most eye-catching thing in the capital was the entry of the high priest of the Desolate Clan into Beijing.

The high priest of the desolate clan was very surprised when he knew that the pavilion master had entered Beijing, and it was exciting to see him, but he calmed down and did not go to see the pavilion master.

Because now that he is in the capital, his every move is under the nose of the Great Zhou Emperor, although he is only looking for the pavilion master to reminisce about the past, but he doesn't want the Great Zhou Emperor to misunderstand anything.

Hong Cheng, the imperial eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, personally came to the Sifang Pavilion, and the emperor set up a banquet in the palace to invite the high priest and the priest of the barren clan.

Yun Chang and Yun Ye rode to the palace in the carriage sent by the palace, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu was already waiting at the palace gate to greet them.

"Peng Shangshu, it's been a long time!" Yun Chang got out of the carriage and arched his hand.

Peng Yu smiled: "High priest, Si Zhu, please inside!" ”

Peng Yu took Yun Chang and Yun Ye to the Qianqing Palace, the little eunuch saw it from a distance and reported to the palace, and Tang Ning took Wang Ge Lao and General Lin out of the Qianqing Palace to greet him.

When the high priest saw the young man walking in front of him dressed in a yellow robe, he knew that this was His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou.

The high priest took Yun Ye and walked two steps quickly, bowed deeply and said: "The high priest of the desolate clan, Yun Chang, has seen His Majesty the Emperor, I wish His Majesty a healthy dragon and a long life!" ”

The high priest of the desolate clan is also regarded as the king of a country, and bowing deeply is already considered a great salute, not only Wang Ge Lao and them were surprised, but Tang Ning was also surprised, he didn't expect the posture of the desolate high priest to be so low.

Yun Chang thought about it, after all, he came here to submit to the Great Zhou, and when the desolate clan returned to the Great Zhou, the desolate people were the people of the Great Zhou Emperor, and he was the minister of His Royal Highness the Great Zhou Emperor, and it was natural for him to kneel at that time.

Tang Ning stepped forward and helped Yunchang up, and said enthusiastically: "Welcome the high priest to the capital, originally I thought it would be Si Zhu to come, but I never expected the high priest to come to the capital in person, I was very emotional." ”

Yun Chang said with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to come to the capital to meet Your Majesty last time and congratulate Your Majesty on his ascension to the throne, because things in the clan could not be made. ”

Tang Ning said with a smile: "Let me introduce to the high priest, this is Lin Xiangnan, the general of Zhenyuan, Wang Ge Lao and the high priest Peng Shangshu have already met. ”

Yun Chang smiled slightly: "Long admire the prestige of General Lin!" ”

General Lin also saluted: "The high priest has won the award." ”

Tang Ning did not sit on the dragon chair in the Qianqing Palace to meet Yun Chang, but set up tables and chairs in the warm pavilion, Tang Ning was in the center, and several people sat in groups.

After taking a seat, Hong Cheng served fragrant tea, and Tang Ning smiled: "From the Great Wilderness to Beijing, traveling thousands of miles, can you be safe?" ”

Yun Chang said with a smile: "It's also safe, there are many dangers in the Great Wilderness, but we have been living in the Great Wilderness, but we are accustomed to it, after entering the territory of the Great Zhou, we really realized what peace and tranquility is, and when we came to the capital, we realized what it means to be prosperous, Your Majesty may find it difficult to imagine what the Great Wilderness looks like." ”

Tang Ning said with a smile: "Now that I have some understanding of the Great Wilderness, the environment in the Great Wilderness is indeed sinister, to be honest, originally Si Zhu came to the capital and said that he wanted to return to Shun, it was hard for me to believe it." ”

"Later, Chang San and the others came back from the Great Wilderness, and I realized that the Great Wilderness was so sinister, and it was so difficult for the Wild People to live in the Great Wilderness. I have some faith in the submission of the desolate people. ”

Yun Chang sighed: "The desolate clan has always struggled to survive in the Great Wilderness, and has never had the idea of invading the Central Plains, only thinking about how to starve to death a few fewer people. ”

"So we have always had an idea that we can live a self-sufficient life by leaving the Great Wilderness, as long as we can eat and dress warmly, even if we are willing to work hard and tired."

"But the temple regards our desolate tribe as a sinner, making our desolate tribe completely isolated from the Central Plains. At that time, the pavilion master traveled through the Great Wilderness, became friends with my brother, sympathized with the situation of my wilderness tribe, and could not bear the war in the border town to continue, so he came to Beijing to visit Emperor Xiaowu. ”

"After that, I planned with Emperor Xiaowu to dominate the world, and then my brother died, Ono was young, and I temporarily lived as a high priest, and I was suspicious of the plan of the pavilion master and Emperor Xiaowu."

"Until last year, the Great Zhou and the grassland underwent drastic changes, the true appearance of the temple was completely revealed, His Majesty ascended the throne as the emperor, and was able to command the grassland, the plan of the pavilion master and the Xiaowu Emperor has been successful, and the general trend has been achieved, this is the opportunity that my desolate clan has been waiting for for thousands of years! If I can't seize the opportunity, submit to Your Majesty, and lead the desolate tribe out of the great wilderness, how can I be worthy of my brother, worthy of the clan, and worthy of the ancestors of the desolate clan? ”

"Your Majesty, my desolate clan is truly obedient, and I only wish to be able to leave the great wilderness!"

Even if Tang Ning already knew about the situation of the Desolate Clan, he could roughly guess what the High Priest was going to say, but he was still very moved to hear it.

Not only Tang Ning was moved, but Wang Gelao, General Lin, and Peng Shangshu were all moved when they heard it, not only because of what the high priest said, but also because the high priest said it from the bottom of his heart.

Tang Ning muttered: "Last year, my father died because the temple colluded with the second prince to rebel, and the second prince has been ambushed, but the temple is still at large, and I swore to destroy the temple and avenge my father." ”

The high priest said in a deep voice: "The world is restless, the temple is the culprit, my desolate clan and the temple are even more incompatible, Your Majesty is determined to go south, and my desolate clan is sent by the emperor!" ”

Tang Ning said in a deep voice: "With my intentions, the soldiers are divided into two routes, I gather the elite soldiers of the Great Zhou and the grassland to go south, while the desolate tribe will raise a large army and attack Qin Town, and the two roads will march at the same time, and go straight to Orange Mountain!" ”

The high priest said in a deep voice: "My desolate clan obeys Your Majesty's orders! ”

Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "This is just my imagination, I am very sympathetic to the situation of the desolate tribe, and I am willing to migrate out of the great wilderness. ”

"It's just that the Desolate Clan, whether it is with the Chu people or with my Zhou people, has been at war for many years, and it is not easy to settle your Desolate Clan. After thinking about it, I thought of a place, that is, the mountains and forests in the southwest, where materials are abundant, and there is no risk of starvation, but the mountains are steep, not as flat as the Central Plains. ”

In fact, the high priest had already heard Yun Ye talk about this, he had seriously considered it, and he had also discussed it in the clan, and the desolate clan was not ignorant of the Central Plains, in fact, he was very satisfied with this arrangement.

Because they are barren people, how can they not worry that the Great Zhou Emperor will unload the mill and kill the donkey after unifying the world, and the jungle in the southwest is not only rich in materials, but also a natural barrier.

The Great Zhou Emperor didn't have to worry that their desolate clan would counterattack, and at the same time, with this natural barrier, their desolate clan didn't have to worry that the Great Zhou would exterminate their desolate clan.

The high priest said in a deep voice: "As long as we leave the Great Wilderness and have a place to settle down for us to multiply, we are willing to accept Your Majesty's arrangement." ”
