Chapter 119: You Dare to Threaten Me!
The number of envoys of the two countries is not large, and the number of qualified people is even smaller.
Therefore, only two people from each of the two countries went to court, a total of four.
At this time, the four of them walked together, separated by twos and twos, and it was clear at a glance.
There are two people on the left, an old man and a young man, the young man in front and the old man in the back.
The two people on the right are both middle-aged, and the age difference is not big, and they are also one after the other, the former should be higher than the latter in terms of official positions, obviously.
People from both countries travel together, but they keep a certain distance and do not communicate with each other.
The four of them ignored the Great Xia ministers who were eyeing them, turned a blind eye to all kinds of eyes, and when they arrived at the place, they just stood quietly in the corner, lowered their eyebrows, and did not say a word.
Ye Chen was surprised by this scene.
Is it so low-key?
It's not scientific!
At this time, shouldn't you be a little more high-profile and eye-catching?
What the hell is this!
Ye Chen thought to himself, could it be that these people are well versed in the concept of low-key people and high-profile things?
Is it so scary?
Not only Ye Chen felt strange, but the other Great Xia courtiers were also quite surprised by the performance of the four of them.
At the same time, I secretly thought to myself, these four people are so calm, I'm afraid there is a bit of a problem!
Are you planning to go through the motions, or are you ready to go?
Hard!
didn't allow Ye Chen to think too much, the time for the early dynasty had come.
After the eunuch shouted, the ministers went up the steps in turn and entered the main hall.
The empress sat on the dragon chair and said nothing.
The tassels hang low, and some of the faces are not visible.
Ye Chen glanced at her and obviously found that her face was not very good, and the reason was self-evident.
After the ministers saluted, the empress gave a flat seat, and the ministers all sat down.
"Zhang Hao, the great military envoy, bring the crown prince Wu Chen to meet Emperor Xia!"
An old man and a young man saluted the empress.
"Dayue's envoys Jiang Zhengtong and Wei Jie, meet Emperor Xia!"
Yue Guo's two middle-aged men also saluted.
"Flat. ”
The empress waved her hand and said, "Give me a seat." ”
The chair was raised, and the four of them sat down upright, three of them looked calm, but Wu Chen's face was a little excited, and his eyes were full of admiration and possessiveness when he looked at the empress.
The empress frowned slightly, and suddenly snorted coldly.
In the next moment, Wu Chen's face froze, suddenly turned pale, his eyes suddenly lowered, and he didn't dare to look at it again.
Zhang Hao's eyes on his side sank, and he looked at Wu Chen with displeasure in his eyes.
This rubbish!
In the Great Xia court, in front of the hundred officials of Great Xia, dare to look at the empress like this?
It's really looking for death!
Do you really think that if you are the prince of Dawu, you can do whatever you want?
Lack of success, more than enough failure!
Zhang Hao was really worried that he would be involved by this guy and fall into danger.
"What are you doing here?"
The empress spoke, her tone neither salty nor light.
No one present didn't know what these four people wanted to do when they came to Great Xia.
But knowing is knowing, asking, then you still have to ask.
"We are here for the prince's marriage. ”
Zhang Hao stood up, bowed to the empress, and said: "Since I met Emperor Xia a few years ago, my Prince Dawu has been completely obsessed with Emperor Xia's heroic appearance, thinking about it day and night, haunted by dreams, so that he doesn't think about tea and dinner, has nothing to do, and even bluntly says that as long as he can marry Emperor Xia, he will not hesitate to give up the position of prince, and his sincerity can be learned." ”
"Although Emperor Wu was deeply annoyed that the prince was ignorant of state affairs, he also felt that he was deeply emotional, and after careful consideration, he ordered us and the prince to come to Emperor Wu to propose marriage, and the two countries can also take advantage of this alliance to resist strong enemies and work together!"
The words were beautiful, but when the ministers of Great Xia heard them, they were extremely harsh.
"Thinking about it day and night, it's okay to be haunted by dreams, and it's really true? ”
"I feel the depth of his emotion, and I want to fulfill it?"
"Take this alliance to resist the strong enemy and work together?"
A group of courtiers had gloomy faces, and some of them didn't say a word, but the hot-tempered ones scolded directly.
The empress did not stop it, but watched quietly.
Zhang Hao's expression remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard, and he also stood there quietly.
However, after Wu Chen heard the scolding, his face was ugly, and he had the intention to refute, but he didn't dare to make a sound, so that he looked aggrieved.
Ye Chen had been observing the two of them.
To be honest, Zhang Hao's performance is very strong, which shows that his diplomatic talent and experience are good.
But this Wu Chen, it's not good.
Prince?
That's it?
Fake it!
In Ye Chen's opinion, this is completely a straw bag!
Don't you think that Emperor Wuguo thinks that this prince is too wasteful, and there is no reason to abolish it casually, so he plans to replace it with this method, killing two birds with one stone, right?
"What about the other two, and what?"
The empress didn't pay attention to Zhang Hao, and instead asked about Yue Guo and the others.
"We are also here to propose marriage to Emperor Xia. ”
The middle-aged man stood up and said with a faint smile.
"Oh?"
The empress spoke lightly, leaned forward slightly, and an oppression actually hit instantly, "For whom?"
"For my majesty Dayue!"
The middle-aged man said: "Two years ago, the first emperor died, Dayue civil strife broke out, crumbling, Your Majesty was ordered to turn the tide in the fall, and the building will fall, and today, the chaos in Dayue has subsided, and the country and the people are safe, which shows Your Majesty's merits." ”
"Emperor Xia and His Majesty are almost the same age, and their experiences are similar, so they should be like-minded, and His Majesty praises Emperor Xia, and there is no lack of love between the words in the past.
"Your Majesty pondered for a long time and agreed to our proposal, so that the envoys came to propose marriage for my Majesty Dayue!"
After saying that, Jiang Zhengtong bowed again, and then ignored the angry eyes of the ministers on the left and right, and bowed his head and waited quietly.
"Humph!"
"Shameless!"
"It's better to say than to sing!"
Some people whispered and scolded, and they didn't care too much at all.
The empress waited for a moment, and after the excited courtiers' emotions calmed down a little, she said lightly: "I am still young, and I will not consider marriage for the time being, so I will disappoint you, please go back." ”
Ye Chen: "???"
What the empress said was really unexpected!
If you don't agree, that's for sure, after all, no matter how you think about it, you can't agree with it.
But this excuse ......
Still young?
Dear, here is a world where women should have babies at the age of eighteen, and unmarried at the age of twenty is considered an older world!
You're twenty-five years old!
How many gray hairs have the ministers scratched off for your marriage, and you don't have any points in your heart?
Ye Chen was a little powerless to complain.
Not to mention him, even among the ministers, many of them secretly rolled their eyes and were silent.
What he said really pierced their hearts!
Feelings: A group of old guys are worried about her marriage, but she herself feels that she is still young?
Hey!
It's so angry!
Emperor Xia said with a smile. ”
Jiang Zhengtong's face was slightly stiff, and he said with a smile for a while.
"I'm not laughing. ”
The empress's expression was indifferent, and her voice was slightly serious.
"Emperor Xia, the sincerity of my Dawu prince can be seen by the sun and the moon, and I hope you will think about it more. ”
Zhang Hao pondered for a moment and spoke.
The empress glanced at Wu Chen, and the indifference and disdain in her eyes made Wu Chen's face turn red and her eyes flushed with anger.
"Emperor Xia, my Majesty Dayue has a word, let the envoy say it to you. ”
Jiang Zhengtong was silent for a long time before suddenly speaking.
"Speak. ”
The empress's voice was as flat as ever.
"Your Majesty said that my Emperor Dayue had an appointment with Daqing, and when the war started, the two countries advanced and retreated together, and if there were no special circumstances, they could not be violated. ”
Jiang Zhengtong said: "Now Daqing wants to commit Daxia, some time ago, Daqing envoys entered my Dayue Kyoto, asking His Majesty to fulfill the promise of the first emperor, although we are unwilling, but if there is no reason, we must obey. ”
"Your Majesty thinks about it, I can only find one reason why Dayue will not send troops, that is, the two Majesties will marry, tie the knot, and become a family, so naturally there is no need to abide by the agreement, and you can also withdraw from the enemy with Daxia and end the war. ”
Before Jiang Zheng's voice fell, Zhang Hao stood up and said: "I, Dawu, also have an appointment with Daqing to advance and retreat together, and we also need a reason not to send troops, Emperor Wu's meaning is the same as that of Emperor Yue." ”
"If Emperor Xia refuses to marry, we will have to keep our promise and have to send troops!"
Before the words fell, the empress's face turned cold, Huo Ran got up, and her eyes shot straight down like a sword.
"Are you threatening me?"
The extremely indifferent voice made the ministers of the court and the central government feel that the air was steeply cold, and goosebumps exploded.
"Bold!"
An old minister shouted angrily: "Xiao Xiao maniac, dare to threaten Your Majesty, come on, don't take it quickly!"
Whoa!
A group of guards instantly poured in outside, and under the pale faces of the four people, they directly held them down and knelt down.
The court is in chaos in an instant!
