Chapter 518: The Book of Nations

Qin Heng is a humble gentleman who is as gentle as jade, even though he has only seen him a few times, Concubine Jun still believes in his eyes, and inexplicably has some trust in him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

What's more, now that Qin Heng has handed over such an important thing to Gu Chenxiao, it can be seen that he is full of sincerity.

This trip to Xixia is really rewarding. Not only can he set a marriage date for his son, but also let his son get allies, if he asks Zhu Guo to renew his life for Emperor Kangnan, he should be blessed by the Bodhisattva.

Concubine Jun was overjoyed, pulled her son out of the warm pavilion, and pulled her son out. He asked his son to kneel in front of the sheep fat jade Guanyin statue offered in Tongyun Pavilion and bow down to the grace of Guanyin.

The abandonment of semi-finished mineral deposits cannot move the root of Kangnan. Concubine Jun's eyes flashed with a smile of wisdom, and she instructed her son to do so, and he could use the half-finished mineral deposit as a congratulatory gift for Prince Jian'an's wedding.

The mother concubine, who has always been smart, actually had such a ghost idea, and the smile on the corner of Gu Chenxiao's lips rose high, like a spring breeze in the veins, intoxicating people's hearts.

In this way, the mineral deposits have added an excellent boost to the alliance between the two. Since then, the two countries have been separated by a strip of water, and the two will be more affectionate than Jin Jian. Whether it is for Qin Heng or Gu Chenxiao, it is all beneficial and harmless.

Gu Chenxiao stepped back to Ninghui Hall in the night, asked the chamberlain, and knew that Qin Heng had not come back yet, and knew that he was probably exchanging heartfelt feelings with Wen Wan at this moment.

Thinking that he and Murong Wei have not seen each other for a day, they naturally have no intention of laughing at others. Gu Chenxiao only ordered the inner servants to stay at the door, and he went back to the dormitory to rest first.

When I woke up, there was a magpie standing on the treetops outside the window, its blue-black wings stretched in the morning breeze, and its gentle cry seemed to indicate the upcoming happy event.

Qin Heng and Gu Chenxiao sat opposite each other and had breakfast, and they smiled heartily at each other, and there was a little more tacit understanding in their words, and they were all in a relaxed mood.

Qin Heng changed into a bright yellow prince's formal suit, wearing a purple and gold crown, a Hetian jade pendant with two dragons playing with pearls on his waist, and a pair of brocade boots embroidered with yellow Ruiyun dragon patterns on his feet.

He ordered his chamberlain to pass the word for himself, wanting to ask to see Emperor Chongming and hand over the letter of Emperor Jian'an.

Knowing that what should come will always come, Emperor Chongming entertained guests in the flower hall separated by a wall in the imperial study.

Qin Heng entered the flower hall, and first smelled a faint fragrant breath, it turned out that several purple sand pots the size of porcelain jars in the flower hall were placed along the corner of the wall, and they were all planted with autumn chrysanthemums in full bloom. The golden color is intertwined with light blue, and the bowl is in full swing.

There were also a few sachets on the smoker cage, thinking that there were some open petals inside, which were smoked by the heat, emitting a burnt smell of pine smoke.

Emperor Chongming's small flower hall is full of small thoughts, the decoration is simple and elegant, revealing grace, a huge fog pine welcoming red sandalwood floor screen separates the hall, and the green bamboo curtains are hung on both sides, hanging two fist-sized jasper lion heads.

There is a jade chessboard on the big kang near the window, there is still a half-game of chess left, and on one side of the green jade case is a vase of Zun Tou Hua Ice Crack Fine Porcelain Embossed Fulu Suxi, which is inserted with a handful of colorful peacock feathers.

About to have a deep relationship with Queen Chu and his wife, Queen Chu took care of Emperor Chongming here very warmly.

Qin Heng thought of his father who had already dyed hoarfrost on his temples, and he had only been in shape all these years, ignoring the six palaces in vain. I would rather stay alone in the Qianqing Palace every night and throw all the green cards of the Internal Affairs Office.

Thinking back to the simple furnishings in his father's imperial study, Qin Heng felt deep sadness in his heart. My father is old, and it is no longer difficult for him to shelter himself from the wind and rain, and from today on, he should be himself to hold up a clear sky for his father.

Qin Heng carefully looked at the furnishings in the flower hall by eating tea, and Emperor Chongming spread Emperor Jian'an's national book on the bookcase, and read it carefully and carefully.

Emperor Jian'an had received the great favor of the Empress Dowager Qiao Huanxia in the past years, and he had been very friendly to Xixia during his reign.

In a letter of state, there is concern for the queen mother and respect for Xixia. Emperor Jian'an's words were simple and sincere, which made Emperor Chongming even more embarrassed.

He already knew his daughter's intentions in his heart, even though Jian'an's letter of state was very sincere, all he could think about now was how to reject Emperor Jian'an's kindness without hurting dignity.

For the sake of Murong Wei's reputation, her name is not mentioned in the national letter, but with a sentence of golden branches and jade leaves of the right age. Of the two daughters under her knees, only Murong Wei can be regarded as a good age, and she knows her friendship with Gu Chenxiao, how Emperor Chongming can beat the mandarin ducks.

Putting aside the friendship of the two children, Gu Chenxiao loves the house and Wu, but with Xixia's help from Kangnan in Yuping Mountain, Emperor Chongming can't cross the river and tear down the bridge for him.

Emperor Chongming was slowly reading the national letter, but his heart was quickly calculating how to delay time.

Even without Gu Chenxiao, Qin Heng is not a good candidate for his daughter's marriage.

The situation of Qianlong Wei came accurately, providing more favorable information for Emperor Chongming. Jian'an is not a monolith at all. Although Empress Dowager Kang was imprisoned in Cining Palace, the Kang family did not disarm and admit defeat.

Although the biological mother of the second prince Qin Huai, Kang Guifei, was not favored by Emperor Jian'an, she was the master with the highest rank in the harem. Qin Huai has always been eyeing the position of the crown prince, relying on the support of his mother's family, he has attracted a large number of important ministers in the court, and knows how to be kind to people everywhere, he has the reputation of a virtuous king, and his voice among the people is also quite high.

Qin Heng and Qin Huai are on par, because they are indecisive, and they are even slightly inferior.

Fortunately, Emperor Jian'an is still in his prime, and with his support, Qin Heng is secretly developing his own power.

In this marriage, Jian'an really seems to be a little urgent, and the conditions offered are very generous. Although the rhetoric was earnest, it also tactfully implied that if the marriage failed, Jian'an would have to close the markets set up by the two countries on the border in order to protect itself.

In order to ensure sufficient military supplies, some of Xixia's war horses come from the border for mutual benefit, and they exchange a lot of silver money for the horses raised by the herdsmen.

Jian'an opened his eyes and closed his eyes, knowing that Xixia was profiting from it, and he had never raised any objections to the face of the queen mother. It's just that the envoys used to manage the bazaar, and then extract a percentage of the herdsmen's taxes, so naturally everyone is happy.

Jian'an is in the bitter cold land, and its financial resources are slightly inferior to Xixia and Kangnan. It is rare to increase this additional income, reduce the financial burden, and almost use it to compensate for the supply of the army.

Nowadays, the markets in the frontier are crowded one after another every three or eight days, and many mainland customs visitors also come here, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger, which is very popular with local residents.

There are many merchants coming and going, all family-style inns and wine shops come into being, the locals make money and make a lot of money, Xixia and Jian'an take what they need, all of which are mutually beneficial.
