Chapter 133: Prince Rui's worth

readx;? At the beginning of the year, Emperor Xia Jing was in a very good mood, and after the court meeting, he left several important ministers to discuss at this time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

As Lin Xi said, the ministers agreed that the princess of Hu Nu should be married, and the dowry must be included in the treasury of Great Xia.

Besides, just like the princesses of the past dynasties, they can't control the situation at all, and they will never hesitate for a moment when it is time to go to war.

It's just a question, who will marry the princess of Hunu?

Princess Jinzhu is fifteen years old, and Emperor Xia Jing, who has stopped the show girl from entering the harem, no matter how greedy he is for beauty, he does not have the cheek to be named a concubine.

And the crown prince has not been established, and the king of Shu and the king of Liang are not qualified to let the princess as a side room, even if Hu Nu is willing to do so, Emperor Xia Jing is not willing to let the two sons be involved.

The Nine Emperor Princes who were left behind have not yet built a mansion, and their age is not appropriate.

The matter was delayed.

It was noon when Zhao Jingyi returned to the palace, and Lin Xi and Zhao Yuanrong were waiting for him to dine together.

After dinner, Zhao Yuanrong was taken down for a lunch break, and Lin Xi followed him to the study.

"I haven't closed my eyes for a day and a night, if things are not urgent, why don't you take a rest first?" Lin Xi held a bowl of health tea and drank it slowly, rising three times today, his spirit was already full, and then looking at Zhao Jingyi's face, it seemed that things were not going well in the court.

When he returned home, Zhao Jingyi exhaled a sigh, and looked at Lin Xi's leisurely appearance of holding the bowl and taking a few sips casually, and the slight unhappiness disappeared.

So he talked about the matter of this morning, "100,000 cattle and sheep, 50,000 horses and a princess are satisfied, and I can't wait to agree on the spot." ”

The bowl in Lin Xi's hand was stunned, the corners of his mouth sneered, but he looked up and said in surprise: "So much! Hu Nu is too sincere! Do they no longer consider considering taking back half of it? In fact, 10,000 cattle and sheep and 10,000 horses can already send us loyal and patriotic ministers, really." ”

Zhao Jingyi suddenly cried and laughed when she heard this, "Xi'er." ”

Lin Xi pursed his lips, continued to take a sip of his tea, and put it on the coffee table on the side after drinking, then rolled up his sleeves, lazily lifted his eyelids and said: "Isn't it? Great Xia is a country of etiquette, known as rich all over the world, and has always been ready to favor all countries and etiquette, even if it is difficult for a while, you must tighten your belt and not lose face in front of the countries that don't know how to be polite, don't you? Oh, the ransom is too vulgar, and paying tribute may sound more elegant, and not only that, but also sending the princess over and kissing, oh my God, as long as you don't send the princess of our country out, it's already a mercy of God!

Lin Xi did not hide his praise at all, this playful tone contained a strong irony, Zhao Jingyi thought of the ministers above the court today, who followed the words of the envoys, and at the end of the scene when everyone unanimously asked for His Majesty's holy message, he was speechless.

"Hu Nu has been accumulating power ......for a long time," he said, and suddenly felt ridiculous.

What are they afraid of? Soldiers who go into battle to kill the enemy are not afraid, so what can these ministers who are firmly in the court in Beijing worry about?

Isn't it worth thinking more about the blood on the border in exchange for the current good situation, for the souls of the dead who are left in that land, and for the lonely parents, wives and children?

Lin Xi lowered his eyes, he thought of the incomparably similar trajectories in the accumulated history of his previous life, and he really couldn't bear it and hated that iron could not become steel, "I have nothing to do, so I asked the teacher to find a few booklets of tribute from all over the world over the years, and found a pattern." The emperor ascended the throne, the festival of a thousand autumns, all countries are vying to come to the dynasty to celebrate, among which the tributes are various, strange flowers and plants, rare and exotic beasts, spices and skins, gold and silver jewelry, and beautiful songs and dances, etc., are all local products, not less. But...... Look at the other side, I am a big country, people come all the way, naturally I can't let it go home empty-handed, I will definitely give a reward, is this reward...... The abundance can make the countries smile, praying when they will be given another opportunity to worship, do a loss, never earn a penny of silver, face is there, but it is the face of the wronged head, you must know that such a good thing has not fallen over the years. ”

This strange circle is obviously incomprehensible, but it continues from generation to generation.

What is the purpose of this? As long as the country is strong and strong, no one dares to provoke it, even if the face of a robber is revealed, who will dare to say a word?

In the end, Lin Xi sighed: "Actually, if Hu Nu's posture is lowered, humble, and he can't fight back, he won't fight back, and he will cry a few more words, maybe the ransom will be waived." ”

The face of a big country, hum, slap a swollen face and fill a fat man.

Lin Xi came out of the study, leaving Zhao Jingyi alone to meditate inside.

The year has passed, and the personnel transfer of officials is about to come down, and Mr. Bai's appointment as the national prince of the priest and wine, although he is nine out of ten, but after all, he needs the emperor's holy judgment.

Waiting for Mr. Bai's appointment and dismissal, he should also enter the national prison.

It was inconvenient for the palace to stay for a long time, but he didn't expect that when he explained a few words to Zhao Yuanrong, he didn't come out when he wanted to leave.

Although Zhao Jingyi had been out of sight for a few days and nights when he was marching and fighting, after all, this was not good for his health, and Lin Xi couldn't see it, so he blasted him away to rest.

"Don't get up if you haven't slept enough for two hours, I really think I'm iron!"

The report presented by the Zongren Mansion, Emperor Xia Jing flipped through it casually and took it to Fengci Palace, ready to visit it with the Queen Mother.

At this time, all the concubines were also there, and when they saw the emperor, they saluted and retreated.

"I don't know who the concubine is mentioning?" said Concubine Xian as she walked up to the concubine and asked with a smile.

The concubine stroked her sideburns elegantly and dignifiedly, and glanced at Concubine Xian with slanted eyes, "If you can't get the prince in the horizontal and vertical turns, who it doesn't matter, my sister will really worry about it." ”

Concubine Xian chuckled twice, "Yes, such a major event is not something that we and other palace concubines can intervene in, I'm still going back to Lizheng Palace in An'an, and I'm not young anymore, so I won't do that kind of thing of staying up and sending it at night." ”

The elegant face of the concubine suddenly twisted, and she gritted her teeth and watched Concubine Xian go away leisurely, and turned her head to invite Concubine Shu: "If my sister is fine, why don't you go to Changqiu Palace to sit down, our sisters haven't spoken for a long time." ”

Concubine Shu looked at her newly made bright red nails, and when the concubine looked over, she innocently pushed it away, "The seventeenth princess will cry when she can't see the concubine, and today she still takes the time to run out to say goodbye to the queen mother while she is asleep, and it is estimated that she will wake up at this time, and the concubine will not disturb the concubine." ”

didn't wait for the concubine to speak, and took the palace maid away.

The concubine glared at Concubine Shu's figure angrily, secretly annoyed that raising a tiger was a problem, and she should have been killed when she was in Changqiu Palace!

Today's emperor is no longer fresh, but he doesn't like her, he can only rejoice that the virtuous concubine is not favored, and only the newly promoted concubine can still speak in front of the emperor.

Although Princess Hunu and the princes are not qualified to marry, there is a lot of room for manipulation in which clan to choose.

The report of the Zongren Mansion lists all the candidates for the children of the clan who are of the right age and are not yet married, although there are many, but there are very few who have the right status, and even fewer can match Princess Hunu.

"Jingyi is suitable, but he can't marry. ”

Emperor Xia Jing subconsciously excluded Zhao Jingyi in the first column, not that he couldn't trust his nephew, but if he married a princess, he would inevitably be suspicious, so don't be involved if he can.

Since the Queen Mother came back from Rui Wangfu that day, she completely dispelled the idea of being a matchmaker for her grandson, and she just wanted him to recover from her heartache in peace, and it would not be too late to talk about it when she opened her mind one day.

And Princess Hunu, what she said is good, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, she is just an undomesticated wild girl, where is she worthy of her precious grandson, she agrees with the words, she is not embarrassed to tell the truth to the emperor, so she continues to look down.

However, after reading them one by one, Xia Jingdi became more and more angry, and finally fell on the desk with a "snap", using too much force, and several folds slipped off the table.

The father-in-law who came to guard the outside raised his heart, and gently stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty?"

"Nothing. ”

Lai's father-in-law stood back again.

The Queen Mother picked up the fold and put it back on the table, looked at Emperor Xia Jing's vague expression, and persuaded: "Emperor, you have to look at this candidate slowly, you can't rush it." ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Xia Jing was even more angry, turned around and pointed to the stack of folds on the table and said: "I am busy with state affairs, but I haven't noticed it, but now when I am about to employ people, I find out that no one in the clan can handle it! What princess to marry, who will marry?"

In fact, this can't be blamed on the clan, the Zhao family, except for the one who is sitting on the emperor's throne, who hopes that the clan can also produce an outstanding talent who can be literate and martial, and being remembered by the emperor for a lifetime is the way to save his life.

Like Zhao Jingyi, his father is the emperor's younger brother, and his grandmother is still the queen mother, who can do things that hundreds of officials can't, and can retreat from enemies who can't have such a status. Even if it weren't for the old prince and the old princess to go at the right time, the death of his wife and son would be sympathetic, and it is estimated that it would not be his turn to lead the troops for the second time, so favored by the emperor.

The emperor is not good at losing his temper in Fengci Palace, and after saying that, he can only patiently look for one or two in the eyes of the queen mother.

In the end, Zhao Jingzhang, the youngest grandson of Prince Jin, the brother of the first emperor, was reluctantly selected.

However, Da Xia's side thought well, and Hu Nu's side didn't buy it.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, our country's Princess Jinzhu is the most beloved daughter of the Great Khan, even the prince is not as noble as her, the Great Khan is willing to let the princess marry into your country, in the good wish of friendship and coexistence, and I believe that your country will treat our princess well and give her the same dignity and dignity. Now this nobleman who has neither talent nor no, has never heard of it, how can he be worthy of our prairie pearl?"

In the end, Temur's face was full of anger and he looked extremely humiliated, "If your country is not sincere in marrying, just say it!"

However, Emperor Xia Jing did not accept this set, "The princes of the right age in this dynasty are all married and have children, this is the most suitable person, but if the envoy is not satisfied, it doesn't matter." As long as the princess doesn't mind being on the side, it's okay, and I will order the princess to be treated like a concubine, what does the envoy think?"

Temur suddenly said dissatisfied: "Your Majesty, although the minister has just come to Great Xia, he has also known a thing or two for the happiness of the princess, how can that prince be the only candidate?

As soon as these words came out, the courtier suddenly whispered, and his eyes subconsciously looked at Zhao Jingyi, who gave him a cold glance and shrank back in shock.

It was rumored that the lord of Jing'an would enter the Rui Palace, but now there is no will.

Emperor Xia Jingdi was angry in his heart, his face was cold, and his heart was originally rushing here.

"I'm afraid the envoy has misunderstood, my Prince Rui has a marriage contract, but the holy decree has not been issued, and besides, he has a wife and a son-in-law, so he is not worthy of a princess. ”

Temur said with a smile: "The children of the steppe, no matter how informal, that is, there is a marriage contract, as long as they are not married, they can also regret it, it is also a shameful thing, the princess admired Prince Rui for a long time, and knew that His Royal Highness the prince's wife had died, so she asked the Great Khan for permission, only to wait for the permission of His Majesty the Emperor." ”

As soon as Temur's words fell, Emperor Xia Jing laughed, and then stared coldly at him.

The king of Shu immediately came out and asked, "Why, if it weren't for Jingyi, this marriage would have been done?"

Temur saluted, "Your Royal Highness King Liang, the minister said that our country married the princess with the wish of peace and eternity, and if the candidate of your country is also worthy of our princess, the minister has nothing to say." It is said that Prince Rui once married a wife and had children, according to the etiquette of your country, if the princess marries Prince Rui, it is a short step-family, and the palace already has an heir, and it is not a good candidate, if it is not for the princess's admiration, the Great Khan will not give it. ”

Who can believe these high-sounding words, King Liang sneered and said: "The envoy's Great Xia etiquette has learned it thoroughly. ”

Temur grinned, "Like the princess, the minister also loves the Great Xia culture. ”

The topic entered a stalemate, and neither side let it.

Emperor Xia Jing suddenly asked, "Jingyi, are you willing to marry?"

"I don't want to!"

The King of Shu spread his hands and said, "Your envoy has heard it, what are you going to do?"

Temur couldn't, so he had to say: "Your Majesty the Emperor, you really can't make concessions to the candidates, which is related to the future happiness of Princess Jinzhu." He paused, and suddenly said in a loud voice, "To put it bluntly, except for the Great Khan's willingness to marry 100,000 cattle and sheep and 50,000 horses to the princess, the princess was born noble, and she has at least 50,000 horses as a dowry!"
