Chapter 263: Giving Away
In the big tent in Wanchengtu City, Lu Qiongxian was very surprised when she saw Yingying Yanyan, a beautiful woman like a cloud.
Lu Ning asked Qingcheng to accompany him, and Jiao Cailian and Pan Yingying made a record and asked Lu Qiongxian about the situation of Ruan Shoujie, the envoy from the northern part of Annan, who sent an envoy to Guangzhou the year before last.
Lu Ning took great care of Qingcheng, when Lu Qiongxian told it, Lu Ning said a few words to Qingcheng from time to time, and from the words, Lu Qiongxian heard that Qingcheng was originally the princess of Shu, and he was even more shocked.
However, Lu Qiongxian's narration gradually surprised Lu Ning.
It turned out that Ruan Shoujie's envoy arrived in Guangzhou and did send more than two catties of gold to Lu Qiongxian, for Ruan Shoujie, this gift is not invaluable, it should be accumulated for many years, and it may even cost him half his life.
Lu Qiongxian was extremely happy, the gold was weighed, thirty-five or sixty taels, and the official value was three hundred and fifty or sixty yuan, but in fact, the exchange value of gold among the people was far more than that.
But the envoy's later words made Lu Qiongxian furious, but Ruan Shoujie had heard of Fairy Lu's name for a long time, and the envoy sent gold, and he also came to propose, and he hoped that Fairy Lu could persuade the Emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty to give him an official position.
Obviously, although Ruan Shoujie calls himself "Ling Gong", he still knows little about the Central Plains etiquette.
Lu Qiongxian immediately ordered the envoy to cut off his nose and ears, expelled him from Guangzhou City, and drove him back to Annan.
"Oh, these Annan people don't know how to be polite...... Originally, Qingcheng listened interestingly, but Wen Wen listened quietly, Lu Ning asked her what she thought of the "Annan people", and she said what she thought, but immediately, Lu Qiongxian said that after "cutting off the ear and nose" of the messenger, her pretty face immediately turned slightly pale and she stopped talking.
"It's kind of interesting." Lu Ning smiled, pondering something.
There was no sound in the tent, only a few beauties, breathing softly.
After a long time, Lu Ning knocked on the desk, "Yingying, help me write, in the name of the Holy Son of Heaven's order to recruit envoys from Annan, write a letter to Ruan Shoujie, and say that this envoy will play the Son of Heaven, and will marry him as the wife of Zhaorong Niangniang of the former Shu Kingdom, and grant him the history of Wu'e Prefecture, however, the Holy Son of Heaven refers to marriage, according to the etiquette law of this dynasty, there is only one wife, but it is not like him Annandi, and the pseudo-queen can set up a few." β
Wu'e Prefecture is one of the several state capitals set up in Annam during the former Tang Dynasty Annan Protectorate, just in the northernmost part of Annam, is the main sphere of influence of Ruan Shoujie today, of course, because of the decline of the Wu clan in Annam, Ruan Shoujie's sphere of influence even extended south to Jiaozhou, where the land is fertile, is the granary of the entire Annan land, but the granary of Annam in the Red River Basin of Jiaozhou is mainly occupied by the Wu family, Ruan Shoujie does not dare to go south, and when the time comes, I am afraid that it will provoke many envoys to besiege.
Listening to Lu Ning's words, Cui Yingying's snow-white little hand holding the brush trembled slightly, and a trace of sigh flashed in her beautiful eyes, but naturally she wrote according to the instructions of the General Academy of Culture.
Obviously, although Li Yanniang's relationship with them is not very good, after all, she has also been with the General Academy of Literature for a long time.
Zhaorong of Shu Palace? Lu Qiongxian was also stunned when he heard it.
The curtain was violently lifted, and Li Yanniang, who was in snow-white clothes and pants, as a foot-washing girl, was carrying tea to be delivered, and her pretty face was full of anger at this time, "Wen Ah Da! How dare you humiliate me like this?! β
"Do you want me to tie you up for a few days and nights?!" Lu Ning frowned, "This time, I will spare you for the crime of disrespect!" Small punishment and big commandment! With a slight slap of his palm, "Come on, tie me up!" Don't even want to eat at night! β
The two female guards who came in from the outside were actually a little confused, although the daughters on the side of the Son of Heaven, only the beauties of Qingcheng were famous concubines, but no matter what, these charming beauties were also with the Son of Heaven, and now they wanted to tie up one of them, they were really completely inexperienced, let alone mentally prepared.
Li Yanniang saw that she was about to suffer a big loss, gritted her silver teeth, and hurriedly knelt down, "The slave should die!" Grandpa forgive your sins! She was the most disdainful of Lu Ning in her heart, but she was the first to learn from Tang Yuniang and call Lu Ning "Grandpa", she was really willing to be a foot-washing girl.
The two female guards looked at Lu Ning, and when they saw Lu Ning waving their hands, they breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed and retreated.
Lu Qiongxian was already dumbfounded, seeing Li Yanniang's beautiful face, listening to the conversation between the two sides, is this the Zhaorong Niangniang of Shu Palace? That's right, looking at its beautiful demeanor, where are there so many beauties in the world?
It's just that one of the two favorite concubines of the Shu lord is now by Wen Ah Da's side? Moreover, Wen Ah Da wants to give it to Annan Tuman? Without blinking an eye?
In my heart, I suddenly felt that Wen Ah Da was definitely not the eccentric character I still vaguely felt amiable and respectable, much more terrifying than I imagined.
For a while, I couldn't help but feel a little lost in my heart, and I don't know why this is so, perhaps, I originally felt that this cruel world, there would have been a ray of light, a trace of warmth, there was a man who had no desire for himself, and he helped himself several times, making himself seem to have returned to his girlhood, the ignorant age when he dreamed of spring, and some dry things seemed to be recovering, and now, he was poured cold water on his head.
I laughed at myself in my heart, myself, what's going on these days? How can it be so naΓ―ve?
"Go and serve Madame Blossom, I see that she is not in a good mood, you don't talk to her less to annoy her, prepare some juice for her to drink." Lu Ning waved at Li Yanniang.
Li Yanniang hated in her heart, but her pretty face barely squeezed out a smile, gritted her teeth and turned around to enter the account.
Lu Qiongxian was even more stunned, so Concubine Hui of Shu Palace was also here? What do you want to do?
The princess of Shu, and the two favorite concubines of the Shu Emperor, the three beauties of the same size, or the Shu Emperor's family, the most important female dependents, were all occupied by Wen A? This guy doesn't look so, does he? What's more, he is a small four-rank official, even if Qi Tianzi doesn't like these, can he compete for other powerful people in Qi State?
This Wen Ah Da seems to be able to govern barbarians, but in fact, for the Central Plains magnates, what kind of ability is it to govern barbarians? It's not worth mentioning at all, who cares about brute land? In the previous dynasty, the famous ministers who were sent to Lingnan to govern the barbarians and even the famous ministers who left their names in the history of the Qing Dynasty were all degraded to the local area, that is, they gained great prestige in the local area, but they were not considered to be meritorious.
Therefore, how can this Wen Ah Da occupy the Queen of Shu Palace's mother-like Mrs. Hua Rui and her favorite concubine Zhaorong, and this is the princess of Shu who looks like a golden branch and jade leaf, beautiful and quiet?
When she was puzzled, Lu Ning looked at her and said with a smile: "I don't think you want to marry into a land of poor mountains and rivers and replace you with Zhaorong, do you think, will Ruan Shoujie agree?" β
Lu Qiongxian was inexplicable, so she was a little in awe of the man in front of her, and she was no longer as casual as before, and she considered it and said: "Such a beautiful thing, Ruan Shoujie didn't dare to think about it before, how could he not agree?" β
Indeed, the two favorite concubines of the Lord of Shu are famous all over the world, and compared to the Han State, a country in the southern miasma, for the original regime of Middle Earth, the Shu State is much more orthodox and powerful, and the concubines and princesses are much more noble than those of the Han State.
Lu Ning smiled, "That's good!" He said to Pan Yingying: "Yingying, you should know how to write, when the time comes, send people to Guangyuan Village, so that they can find someone who can speak well and send it to Ruan Shoujie, during this time, Luan Guo and I went to Guangzhou Mansion to deal with some things, during which Ruan Shoujie replied, if he agrees, you will reply to the appointment of marriage and send relatives, and then when he replies to the letter, I should come back." β
He turned to Lu Qiongxian and said, "During this time, you will stay here for a while, and I will explain to you, and no one can take you away." β
"Thank you, Lord Yuan!" Lu Qiongxian got up and bent her knees slightly, she thought that Lu Ning went to Guangzhou Mansion to solve things for her.
In fact, Lu Ning is going to Yangzhou.
The surrender of the lord of Wu Yue, such a grand event, if he does not come forward to see him, I am afraid that Qian Hongyu will have many other ideas, that is, his subordinates, there will be a lot of unnecessary speculation.
It happened that the cumbersome correspondence with Na Ruan Shoujie would take a lot of time, so he could take the time to go to Yangzhou and wait for Qian Hongyu to go north and summon him at the Nanjing Palace in Yangzhou.
Now, I love this quiet and well-behaved Qingcheng very much, and I also took her to relax, and with her own foot strength, I took Qingcheng to and fro, and it took about more than a month.
"Okay, that's it, I'll leave tomorrow." Lu Ning stroked his palm and smiled.
All the women should be busy.
