Chapter 139: Envoy
The next day, the emperor was suspended, but the emperor could not be idle, and had to meet with the envoys of various countries separately, and then go through the clear road of the matters discussed between the Ministry of Rites and the countries, and also learn about the development status of each country by the way.
The envoys naturally said that at best, those who had selfish intentions and wanted to deliberately stammer, said that they were pitiful, and bluntly said that they were willing to be vassal states, paying tribute every year, and only hoped that the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty could send officers and soldiers to the local town to guard it, and give those "rebellious ministers and thieves" a lesson to maintain the orthodoxy of the kingdom. This is the family's succession is in full swing.
Gao Shenghan smiled and only said that he would definitely send troops to protect the king's lineage. As for when to send someone...... This is not for the envoys to decide. Maybe soon, maybe grind for three or five months, and when the battle over there is white-hot, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and take the opportunity to reap some benefits. It is more likely that after three or five years, when the dust settles, I will discuss the friendship between the two countries with Xinjun. What you want the Great Zhou Emperor to do depends on the attitude of the country's rulers.
Among the envoys of all countries, the most impressive were of course the Earl of Jet Vinson-Hannaughton and his wife Yulia of the Black Sand Kingdom. This is the only couple of envoys and husbands who came together to congratulate the emperor on his birthday. The man is handsome and the woman is bold and arrogant, speaking an awkward Da Zhou language, but she is full of witty words, which won the favor of the officials of the Ministry of Rites who received them, and said a lot of good things for them. Gao Shenghan's attitude has not changed, and he is no different from receiving envoys from other countries. It was only during the lunch break that she privately summoned Mrs. Yulia.
I don't know what agreement was reached, but everyone was satisfied.
The envoys of Tama were a little dissatisfied. Among them, the most dissatisfied are the three princes of the country. This one came with him deliberately concealing his identity. The main person in charge of the mission was his uncle, the Queen's younger brother, the Duke of Rennes. They have always been at odds with the Black Sand Country, and it is natural for them to look for trouble.
"It's just that he provoked the emperor's eyes with a male pet!" His Royal Highness was very disdainful of a certain proton who lived in the palace. They inquired, the Emperor of the Great Zhou seems to be very close to Proton, and the emperor is a good man, and the relationship between the two is definitely not ordinary. He didn't want to admit that Shashaman was more handsome than him!
"If the shrew of the Black Sand Country knew what kind of life her brother was living in Da Zhou, the other party's attitude must be very interesting." The Duke of Wren gently polished his well-maintained round and smooth fingernails, and said nonchalantly.
"This is not a new thing, didn't everyone know about it two years ago? I don't believe they don't know. His Royal Highness replied nonchalantly. They also have merchants and spies in Dazhou, and what happens in the capital can be hidden from the eyes of those who have a heart. "Not to mention that the Great Zhou Emperor also sent some people for this a year ago?" Wang Shizi of Yujun and several other noble sons were questioned, but they did not deliberately conceal it, although they used other reasons, such as bullying men and women to forcibly occupy good land and forcibly buy and sell Yinzi money, but how to know it inside.
This kind of loss of national body has always been the most talked about by spies in other countries.
Duke Wren raised his eyes and glanced at his nephew, secretly thinking, this kid still lacks training, and his brain is tendoned. He slowly instructed: "That's knowing in private, this loss will be eaten, what else can they do to those officials in Da Zhou?" But if you spread the ...... while the envoys of various countries are there, a malicious smile appeared on the corner of your mouth.
His Royal Highness the Prince immediately figured it out and looked up to the sky. "It's still my uncle!" At the moment, I found a guard and ordered me to arrange things, but I didn't mention it.
Blocking the Black Sand Country before leaving, he likes to see it!
The next day, Gao Shenghan received a secret report. After all, the inn is not a secret place, and it is very simple to eavesdrop on something, not to mention that this is still on her own territory, in order to prevent these envoys from making trouble and making trouble, she has not arranged for people to keep an eye on their every move.
Knowing what Tama was going to do, Gao Shenghan's face was half darker.
This is not only a slap in the face of the black sand country, but also a provocation between the two countries!
The emperor, who was enjoying the voice of the male pet servant Sizhu and the way of dividing tea, immediately summoned Gonggong Deng and whispered a few words.
Murong Zhen wanted to hear what they said clearly, but it was he who stroked the qin, if the syllables and rhythms were wrong, maybe the emperor would find an excuse to fix himself, so he had to put all his thoughts on his fingertips and continue the cheerful and smooth tune. Qin Feng, who was sitting on the side, brought the tea to the emperor's table, but Shen Yifei only cared about eating hard, teasing the snowballs and briquettes that were rolling around under his feet from time to time, breaking the snacks in his palms and feeding them little by little.
The only animal that can enjoy the imperial dim sum that ordinary people can't eat is this pair of living treasures. If the courtiers knew that what the emperor rewarded them was what Shen Yifei didn't want—the taste of the two balls that he didn't love—I don't know if they would burst into tears and feel that they were not even as good as a beast.
Ahem, it's far away. Besides, returning to the Pavilion in the heart of the Cuidi Lake in the back garden of the Liufang Palace, the emperor sat on the beauty of the group, enjoying a rare leisure time, and was not disturbed by Gonggong Deng, who came in just now to reply, still hugged left and right, and teased that after teasing this, he was very busy, like a butterfly walking through the flowers.
Everyone was also quite interested, and from time to time loudly chanted poems as pairs, Lin Aike couldn't keep up because of his brain, but he volunteered to spread paper and ink on the table next to him, and recorded the good sentences of all the brothers and dedicated them to the emperor for evaluation.
He won't tell people that this is his selfishness, and he wants to practice words and courage.
After playing all morning, when it was time to pass the meal, a team of palace ladies and eunuchs came up with tableware and food, and distributed it on the tables of the masters.
Among them, the most eye-catching is a roast pig. The golden crispy, shiny oil and rich burnt aroma are seducing everyone's appetite.
They really haven't eaten such a small pig.
"Here, everybody, try it. This is fresh food from the south, and it is said that this little ru pig has only grown up like this, and the meat is fat and tender, and it is not greasy at all. It's best to eat it with this plum sauce! Gao Shenghan happily sandwiched a piece, was very addicted, and ordered to reward the cook! The waiting gold and silver treasures took the appropriate amount from the plate and motioned for the little eunuch to distribute them to everyone.
Everyone tasted a piece, and it was indeed good. When I was about to eat the second piece, I heard someone outside the pavilion laugh and said: "Although it is good to eat like this, it is also greasy." Why don't you wrap it in a thin piece of dough, and then add a piece of green onion with some cold crispy shreds (cold vegetables), dipped in plum sauce or bean paste! ”
Everyone was familiar with the voice, and they all looked up, but they saw a person standing on the trestle in the middle of the lake, looking at everyone with a light smile.
Murong Zhen knocked over a bowl in a frustration, and quickly reached out to catch it, and put the bowl back in place without a trace, his face flashed with shock.
