Regarding the arrogant attitude of the barbarians along the way, in order to kill the prestige of the barbarians, the second prince was especially arranged to be responsible for the reception of the envoys this time. First, in order to show that Zhongshan attaches great importance to this meeting, the standard of reception has been raised. The second is to show force, tell the barbarians not to underestimate the Han people, we also have an army, don't be too angry, after all, the second prince represents the combat effectiveness of the army.

Originally, the barbarian was still more arrogant, and when he met the second prince, he also restrained a lot, after all, he was a prince, and he couldn't be too arrogant, after all, he was the capital of the people. After the envoys led by the barbarians came to the capital, they were not idle, and sent a lot of gold and silver treasures, and many precious items were all given to the officials of the capital.

How could Chen Ye let go of this good opportunity and ordered Jinyi Wei to keep an eye on the barbarians in the capital, if anyone accepted the barbarian's gift, the specific amount of things he received had to be investigated. It's a pity that all this money has been looted by barbarians for so many years. I didn't expect that the money was still given to officials, and it was a great irony to buy the officials of Zhongshan Kingdom.

Money is innocent, alas!

The barbarian's hospitality work this time is still Honglu Temple, but after the barbarian came, Zhongshan still held a state banquet to be responsible for entertaining, and then sent farewell and entertained when he left. The middle work is that Honglu Temple is in charge, and the negotiators who are currently in charge are not in charge, and Honglu Temple must first understand what the purpose of the barbarians coming to Zhongshan is to understand.

The barbarians came to the place of the court meeting and accepted the barbarians' kneeling as usual: "The envoy of the barbarian kingdom is here to meet the king of Zhongshan and hereby send my king's sincere greetings"

"You barbarians are still presumptuously kings"

"Dare to call Your Majesty the king, please ask Your Majesty to expel these barbarians, I don't know etiquette at all" The officials below heard that the barbarians had just spoken, and many people were dissatisfied, and their eyes glared at the barbarian messenger with big eyes.

"What do your khans want to say?" Emperor Han Qing was a little impatient and waved his hand and asked.

"I'm here for friendly exchanges with your country," the barbarian envoy saluted.

"Didn't you communicate with our people in a friendly way along the way, robbing our people's finances all the way, and breaking the law and discipline?" Prime Minister Lu Jianren sarcastically said that the barbarian envoy did not care, as if the people of Zhongshan who were harassed were not worth mentioning, and continued: "Our king wants to ask the monarch, and wants to ask the monarch whether it is war or peace, and the request of the khan of our country is to set up a field, carry out mutual trade, and pay the annual currency every year. ”

The barbarian envoy's words shook a thousand waves, and the entire court boiled.

Emperor Han Qing was murderous, gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Are you really not afraid of war? ”

The barbarian messenger was undaunted, and said lazily: "Our khan is always waiting for the greeting of the king, and our scimitar wants to cut the blade." ”

Many people in the imperial court issued letters of invitation to war, and hundreds of officials were indignant, but fortunately, Emperor Han Qing was relatively cold-minded and directly announced his retirement from the court. Although the emperor said that he was angry, he still had to prepare a welcome banquet in the evening, and there should be a fierce confrontation in the evening, just in case. Let Xiao Wuzi go to inform Chen Ye that he is going to attend the banquet in the evening, the person in charge of the banquet is embarrassed, Chen Ye currently has no clear official position, whether it is the leader of the Jinyi Guard, or the general of the fire army, there is no clear official position in the imperial court. If Chen Ye was to be arranged in the last position, His Majesty would definitely be dissatisfied, which would stump the person in charge of the banquet.

After asking Zhou's father-in-law, the eunuch in charge of the banquet smiled happily and felt that this arrangement was very safe. Chen Ye heard the news above the court meeting, Du Jilong was angry, and he wanted to look at his daughter, so he took advantage of this excuse to come to Chen Ye's mansion.

"It's really infuriating that you say that the barbarians are so arrogant," Du Kiron said hatefully as he sipped his tea.

"Actually, there is no need to be angry, after all, the military strength of the barbarians is stronger than ours, our soldiers march and fight, there is no elite cavalry, there is no advantage in the vast grassland, of course we can't beat it. I guess Your Majesty will agree to peace talks, and there will be no war, so I don't know how far it will go. Chen Ye also knew the general basic situation.

"Don't we have an army of 100,000 on the border?"

"It has become a common practice for the military department to eat empty salaries, and if the 100,000 army has no empty salaries, how many people can there be, and 70,000 is good. How much combat strength can these 70,000 troops have, and there are twenty-year-old people in the barbarian army, all of whom are young and middle-aged," Chen Ye said as he poured tea for Du Jilong.

"How do you know that there are 200,000 barbarians?" Du Jilong was a little strange, and the court didn't know the specific number of these numbers.

"Listen to the people on the street, nonsense. If you are okay, go to the school to give us a lecture and experience the life of being a teacher," Chen Ye quickly diverted the topic.

"What kind of teacher" Du Lian walked over with a big belly, and Du Jilong quickly got up when he saw Du Lian like this and went to help. Chen Ye felt that Du Jilong really loved this daughter, and he was extremely distressed.

"Chen Ye asked me to be a teacher for a few days, you should give birth in a few days, how did the people who served you feel before, did you feel uncomfortable in your body." Du Jilong asked with concern, looking at his daughter like this, he couldn't wait to move down Chen Ye's mansion, and take a good look at her every day.

"Don't worry, Dad, the midwife at home is already waiting for me at any time, the little guy in my belly is not honest, and he keeps kicking me every day." Du Lian happily stroked her stomach with a happy face.

"I'll rest assured that you two are fine, I'll go first" Du Jilong finished complaining, looked at his baby daughter again, and was about to go back when he was satisfied.

"Daddy, why are you in such a hurry when you finish eating?"

"The barbarian envoy is here, and he will go to the banquet in a moment," Du Jilong explained the reason and left.

"Xianggong, aren't you going to go at night?" As soon as Du Lian finished speaking, Xiao Wuzi came. Chen Ye knew that he had to go tonight.

In order not to be lonely alone, he followed Du Jilong to the banquet, and it just so happened that Du Jilong also slowly introduced people from his own faction to Chen Ye. Chen Ye followed Du Jilong to get to know each other, everyone got acquainted with each other, after all, everyone is a family, plus Chen Ye is in charge of Jinyiwei's affairs, of course he is very willing to get to know Chen Ye. With Chen Ye's protection, it is equivalent to having an extra life talisman on his body.

After a long while, the crown prince and the second prince also came, Chen Ye saluted, and began to find his place. found that there was no place for himself in the back, so he looked forward and found that the position next to the prime minister was vacant, and the waiter on the side hurriedly led him after seeing Chen Ye coming.

"Lord Chen, this is your position" Looking at this position, this position is next to Your Majesty. On the opposite side is the crown prince and the second prince, on his right hand is Prime Minister Lu Jianren, and on his left hand is his father-in-law Du Jilong. According to his position in such a position, Chen Ye felt like sitting on pins and needles.

"That, is the location wrong" Chen Ye reconfirmed to the waiter that it was this location. Du Jilong on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "This position is estimated to be your majesty's acquiescence, it's okay, sit down steadfastly", Chen Ye looked at Du Jilong speechlessly. It was very boring in the middle, after all, if the barbarian envoy did not come, the emperor would definitely not come in advance.

I chatted with Lu Jianren again and asked what Lu Yong has been busy with recently, it turned out that Lu Yong was dealing with a tricky matter, and he was not in the capital for the time being, so he said that he was busy with something for the sake of secrecy. No wonder Chen Ye came to the prime minister's mansion to inquire several times, and said that Lu Yong was not in the mansion.

Chatting and chatting, the barbarian came with an arrogant look and looked full of confidence. The emperor also came after a while, and everyone began to bow down: "Long live Your Majesty"

"Zhong Aiqing is flat, the messenger is flat, let's start the banquet" After the emperor came, he announced that the banquet had begun, but the banquet in the palace was still different from the wine and food that came again, and the palace was more sumptuous and the dishes were more sumptuous. Chen Ye is really blessed, he eats a lot, and it looks delicious.

The surrounding Du Jilong and the prime minister, as well as the two princes, looked at Chen Ye with some incredulity, after all, they all knew that it was Chen Ye's shares that would come again. I have tasted the food here, it is not as delicious as coming again, and the palace banquet is a strange word.

Everyone knows that the food that comes here is the best in the world, after all, they can eat banquets often, Chen Ye is the first time, and after Chen Ye tasted it for the first time, he felt that it was very delicious.

The envoy of the barbarians also saw this situation, but he didn't expect a young man's position to be so high, he didn't hear that there was such a big prince in Zhongshan Kingdom, and he didn't hear that there were such young people in other official positions. Of course, Chen Ye's Jinyiwei basically belonged to the newcomer, and the barbarians had not heard of it, and ordinary people didn't know about Jinyiwei at all, only those who were officials in the capital knew about it.

Besides, how could Chen Yi's intelligence system be above board, so that Chen Ye's news could be discovered so easily. The barbarian envoy decided that after the banquet was over, he would definitely inquire about who this young man was.

Be sure to get to know the young people.
