Chapter 192: Rejection
"Your Majesty, are you planning to raise troops to fight Great Xia?" Yun Xiang suddenly said this.
The emperor was stunned, "No." Why? ”
Yun Xiang smiled, "Actually, I don't need to say anything more as a little girl, Your Majesty is so wise, how could she not think of how many things can be exchanged for a peace contract?" ”
The emperor raised his eyebrows, "You asked me to sign a peace contract with Great Xia in exchange for grain?" ”
"It's not what I said, it's His Majesty himself." Yun Xiang's smile was meaningful. This emperor of Xihua is not so peaceful as the one in Great Xia. Ambitious, so to speak.
However, Great Xia and Xihua, whether in terms of national strength, or the size of the territory, and even the population, are about the same. Therefore, the two countries have always been close to each other, but they have nothing to do with each other.
Now Emperor Xihua is so eager to get grain seeds, it is just because he is afraid that the national strength of Great Xia will be strong and the grain and grass will be sufficient, and he will move other thoughts.
And take the initiative to say some soft words, sign a peace contract, and don't have to pay anything, but you can get food, but it is a sure thing.
The emperor actually had these thoughts vaguely before he wanted to summon Yun Xiang. When it comes to grain seeds, it is equivalent to the national strength of Great Xia, and it is also peaceful. If you don't have food, you don't have the strength of Great Xia, and you have to maintain a peaceful brotherly relationship with Great Xia. Therefore, it can be said that there is no conflict between Xihua and Great Xia for the time being.
"You're a delicate one!" The emperor looked at Yun Xiang with a smile. How can an emperor allow others to let the former nose go? "But do you think I'll be able to let you go with a few words?"
Yun Xiang shook her head, "Grain." The little woman really can't give it. But there is a way to make people eat fresh vegetables all year round, even in the cold winter. ”
"Oh?" The Emperor narrowed his eyes. His mind turned, "Tell me about it." ”
"Greenhouse." Yun Xiang smiled and took out the few pages that had been prepared and presented them, "This is how to build a greenhouse." I've only used this method in my own mansion, and not many people know about it. ”
Even the emperor couldn't eat much fresh vegetables in the cold winter of the ninth month. Naturally, he would be interested in this.
Sure enough, the emperor looked at the things. I couldn't help but ask, "You mean, vegetables are raised in greenhouses." Can it speed up ripening, or even out-of-season ripening? "Vegetables are fine, fruits are fine, so isn't the same for the dealer?
Yun Xiang saw the emperor's expression. I knew that he was very cooperative and wanted to be crooked. An emperor. How can it be so clear about the growing season of the fruit and the producer? The cost of this greenhouse is not small, and it is not conspicuous in the palace or even in some rich and noble homes, but it is not used in agricultural production. So it's just a few people who can benefit, and it's not realistic.
The reason why the emperor can be the emperor is not stupid. Although he didn't know the growth cycle of these things, he could know that the cost of the greenhouse was definitely not cheap. He smiled and said to Xiao Yan who was standing on the side, "You are my Xihua's national teacher." Contribute a lot to my Xihua. Your junior sister has offered such a good thing again, you say. How am I going to reward her? ”
Xiao Yan frowned, "She's only been here for a month, Your Majesty doesn't have to think about it too much." He was sure that the emperor had no good intentions.
"How can that be!" The emperor shook his head dissatisfiedly, "I see, it's better to make her a county lord." "If Liu Yunxiang is made the county lord in Xihua, then Daxia will definitely have some complaints about their family. This reward will not only not bring any benefit to Liu Yunxiang, but will cause a lot of trouble.
As long as Liu Yunxiang goes out of Xihua, she is just an ordinary official lady. The county lord for only a month, the name is only, and there is no fief, the emperor is clearly rewarding, but he actually wants Liu Yunxiang to have bitterness and can't say it.
Liu Yunxiang politely refused, "Your Majesty, I am from the Great Xia Kingdom. "Even if it's a reward, it's not your Xihua's emperor's turn to do it.
Xiao Yan pursed his lips slightly, a smile flashed in his eyes, "Senior sister is just an ordinary woman, and she really doesn't deserve such a generous reward." If Your Majesty really wants to reward it, you should give it some gold, silver and jewelry. ”
The Emperor's face sank, "Are you questioning my decision?" ”
"Your Majesty." Xiao Yan looked serious, "I measured the qi of Nanyue Kingdom a few days ago. ”
The emperor gritted his teeth, "Okay, don't come to this." I don't want this county lord. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Yunxiang lost no time in thanking her.
Nothing is as important as a national event. The emperor snorted coldly, "What is the qi of the Nanyue Kingdom?" ”
"Your Majesty, Yun Xiang is not suitable to stay here and listen to us discuss national affairs. Why don't you tell me what the reward is, and let her step down. ”
Yun Xiang couldn't help but give Xiao Yan a thumbs up in her heart, why didn't she see that this 'facial paralysis' senior brother turned out to be a black wolf! She couldn't help but think of another typical black-bellied person, Gu Mo. sighed in my heart, sure enough, people with black belly potential must have a handsome appearance.
"Then reward one hundred taels of gold, ten pieces of tribute satin, and ten sets of gold and silver jewelry made inside!" The emperor said it almost through gritted teeth.
Yun Xiang thanked the reward with a smile, exchanged glances with Xiao Yan, and retreated.
"Princess Yuzuki?" As soon as Yun Xiang went out, she saw Princess Xiyue turning her head to look at the sky as if nothing had happened.
The weather doesn't do, there are white clouds, but you don't have to look at it that way. The eunuchs guarding the door outside all bowed their heads, and Xiyue turned around, "Ah, I'm just passing through here." ”
Pass by? Passing by the study? Isn't that a little too bad?
"You're going out of the palace? Or do you want to wait for your senior brother? Xiyue asked casually.
"Wait for my senior brother." Yun Xiang said, and there was a guess in her heart. "I don't know where I'm waiting for it?"
"Let's go to the tea room." Xiyue warmly took Yunxiang's hand, "You yourself must be afraid, come, I'll accompany you." ”
The tea room is usually used for the princes and ministers who are waiting to be summoned for a temporary rest. Therefore, the furnishings are very elegant and elegant, and the tea is also the tea of Neigong, and it is also equipped with the dim sum of the imperial dining room.
Yun Xiang has been out for a short time, and she just wants to take a break. After sitting down, I silently drank tea and ate snacks. Princess Xiyue couldn't sit still and looked out frequently.
"If the princess has something to do, she might as well go first." Yun Xiang knew what she was for, but she pretended not to know.
Princess Xiyue smiled wryly, and finally couldn't help but speak, "Liu Yunxiang, let me ask you, what kind of woman does your senior brother like?" ”
Liu Yunxiang looked at her funny, "I've only known Senior Brother for a few days?" How could I possibly know this! If the princess wants to know, it would be better to ask him directly. If the princess doesn't change, I can ask you too. ”
Princess Yuzuki's face flushed, "Don't! I'm just asking. That, Princess Ben suddenly felt a little unwell and lost her company. ”
is another woman who is just beginning to fall in love. Yun Xiang couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the back of Princess Xiyue running away. (To be continued......)
