Chapter 118: The Storm in the Court (7)

Li Meng also thought about it, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is not much use, the old emperor decides everything in one day, even if he makes trillions of family fortunes, the old emperor's words of competing with the people are enough to make him have nothing, so Li Meng can either try to try the throne or be honest to be a prince of Anle, but now this lord is already the secretary of the military department, is it possible for you to be a prince of Anle?

Obviously impossible, in addition to the eldest and the second and third, the following younger brothers are not good at stubble, take this old nine as an example, he is very liked by the old emperor, he looks very young, there is no city government, no qualifications, no position, who can know that there will be no strength to compete for the throne in ten or eight years?

Lunch is Li Meng eaten alone, only here to know why the ancient emperor called himself a widow, Li Meng's daily meal turned out to be a real person, there are too many rules in the royal palace, not only the rules of meeting, there are also many rules for eating, each family has rules for eating, there are specifications, what age and what to do There are also regulations, Li Meng's lunch has a special person to serve, four maids; take a break after dinner, there is nothing to do in the afternoon, according to the past habits, the prince of Muyang will practice in the afternoon, and go to the martial arts hall, but this waste wood prince has practiced for more than 30 years The level is also average, and he often faints, so this kind of thing is also exempt。

Li Meng watered the flowers, fed the fish, and read books around the yard for half an hour, and the rest of the time was fine, what should he do next?

When Li Mengxian was bored, Lao Dang suddenly hurried over: "Lord Wang, the envoy of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom came to meet the prince, and brought three good horses from the Northern Barbarian Kingdom, two hundred catties of various spiritual materials, and a pair of cloud spirit birds, I wonder if the prince let them in?"

What are these northern barbarians doing here? Li Meng is in charge of the Ministry of War, and the affairs of foreign envoys should be under the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, which is the business of the Great Prince Mu Dynasty.

Li Meng immediately said: "Lao Dang, you can meet them for me, leave the gifts, this king will disappear before he is in good health, and prepare a batch of gifts of equal value to return to them, any silk, tea, silver, porcelain can be, half of the value, we can't suffer." ”

The old man frowned and agreed with a painful face, this prince is gone, why did he accept the gift, isn't it embarrassing for the people below?

Half an hour later, Lao Dang happily came to return to his life.

"Lord, this barbarian Ji is not unhappy at all, he praised the prince as a hero-like figure, and said that he hoped to invite the prince to go to their post house to enjoy the dance, there are dozens of beauties in the northern and western regions in the post house, all of them are beautiful and beautiful, and the prince can take any one he likes, as well as the rare species they brought......"

Speaking of which, the fat on Lao Dang's chubby face has already begun to dance.

Li Meng coughed so that Lao Dang stopped performing in time and confessed to Li Meng again and again.

Li Meng said expressionlessly: "The two cloud spirit birds will be stewed and sent to Princess Xian to make up for it, Princess Xian has worked hard recently, and the three horses will be sent to the military department, so that Huang Shilang will distribute them to those outstanding people in the teaching group, so be it." ”

Lao Dang was relieved after hearing this, the description just now was too vivid, fortunately this prince did not blame, at least not now, but this cloud spirit bird doesn't seem to be eating?

Who knew that the Xian princess heard that there was a cloud spirit bird stew to eat, and she actually invited a few princesses and the maidens of her mother's family to share it together, rubbing! This is worried that others don't know that there is such a thing, this cloud spirit bird is well-behaved and cute, very gorgeous, it is the pleasure of the nobles of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom, Li Meng stewed this pair of birds because he didn't want the ministers in the court to catch him and the Northern Barbarian nobles have the same fetish, how does this Xian princess understand?

Princess Xian invited the daughter of her mother's family, and Li Meng didn't bother to go over to join in the fun, so she went to bed early after reading a book for a while at night.

Early the next morning, Lao Dang ran to the dormitory in a panic.

"Lord, someone from the palace has come, and he has brought two jars of good wine, and the prince in the palace has come in person. ”

Wang Gonggong, Wang Denian, is the second person in the inner palace eunuch, the deputy head of the Internal Affairs Office, in charge of the diet and daily life of Emperor Dingyuan, and is considered to be a close person to Emperor Dingyuan, it is said that there are two children, but few people have seen him shoot, at least Li Meng has not seen it.

Such a figure came over with two jars of wine, Li Meng didn't know what medicine was hidden in this gourd, so he hurriedly packed up and greeted him in the main hall.

"The emperor heard that the second prince likes the things in the cup, and specially asked the servants to bring two jars of wine, these two jars of wine can have a great origin, it is the wine that the envoys of the northern barbarian country paid tribute to, it is said that the brewing place is the far north, stored for hundreds of years before it was sent thousands of miles away, and there are only ten jars to the emperor. ”

When did Li Meng get greedy? It seems that he only drank with Lao Jiu last night, and not at other times, right?

Li Meng said with a stomach full of questions: "Trouble the king, I heard that the wine of this Northern Barbarian Country is extremely spicy, I don't know if it suits the taste of my Muye Country?"

Wang Denian said with a smile: "It should be okay to try it occasionally, the prince will definitely make a masterpiece after drinking, and the ninth prince took the masterpiece made by the prince in front of the emperor and praised it, even His Majesty the emperor was full of praise, and said it was good." ”

Oh?

Lao Jiu didn't seem to remember, was his brain so good? Li Meng only read it once and remembered it?

Wang Denian looked at Li Meng's stunned look and said: "I'm afraid the prince doesn't know yet, the ninth prince has a little maid under him, named Xiliu, who has the ability to never forget, and is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the ninth prince is very precious to her, if it weren't for the young age, His Majesty the Emperor is afraid that he will misunderstand His Royal Highness." ”

Shameless!

Li Meng wanted to say two words inexplicably, these powerful people are really good at playing, Li Meng didn't notice that there was such a little girl beside Muwen.

Li Meng asked curiously: "How could His Majesty the Emperor reward two jars of wine for a poem? This kind of extremely strong wine is not suitable for the taste of my Muye countrymen. ”

Wang Denian said meaningfully: "The envoys of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom have made a lot of requests to visit, and His Majesty the Emperor has the intention to ignore them, but this may not be in line with the interests of my Muye Country. ”

Li Meng's mind couldn't help but stir, does the Northern Barbarian Kingdom want to unite with the Muye Kingdom to attack other countries? The target of attack is naturally the first choice of the countries of the Western Regions, it is said that there are more than 30 countries in the Western Regions, tens of thousands of miles in depth, most of the land of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom is located in the cold grassland area, and the Muye Country, Compared with the countries of the Western Regions, there are not too many suitable places to live, but the Northern Barbarian State is good at war, and its strength cannot be underestimated; Muye Country has the largest population and many neighboring countries, and the countries of the Western Regions have their own faction, and the three forces often have small conflicts but are evenly matched, and it is not easy to eat each other in one bite, and it has been quite peaceful over the years.
