Volume 1: Da Chu Chapter 15: Transactions
This is all because Nanli has a good ancestral iron-smelting technique, with a magical weapon-making technology, Nanli forged weapons are all high-quality, can be called cutting iron like mud!
But this technology is only available in Nanli, and many small border countries buy weapons first and foremost to go to Nanli, so Nanli is the first in terms of wealth and national strength.
Therefore, Duan Yi's words just now caused such a big impact, and even the emperor changed color, but after the shock, he was suspicious and worried.
Chu Mu thought to himself that he Nanli had such a good mystery that could not be passed on so kindly to communicate, was this what Nanli meant or his own meaning, and what was their purpose?
No matter what the purpose, Chu Mu didn't think it was so simple, so he didn't give a reply for a long time, intending to hesitate.
Duan Yi naturally saw his guess, and he was not in a hurry, so he sat in his seat and let the ministers discuss, but he drank tea like an outsider.
Well, it's a little bitter, and it's still not as good as the tea in his house. Duan Yi thought to himself.
"Hey, why are they so surprised to hear what the prince said about iron smelting after surgery?" Zhong Qing poked Qingfeng with his elbow and asked.
Qingfeng looked at her incredulously and said in surprise: "No, don't you know if you are from Da Chu or not?" ”
Zhong Qing blushed by his reaction, and said in a low voice: "Haven't I been in the boudoir all the year round, and I usually don't go out of the door, so I know so much?" ”
Although Feihua gave her a wild history, but with such a thick book, she only had a rough understanding of the history of this world, and she didn't read anything else at all, where she knew so many things.
"Ahem, that's right, but you better ask the master about this!" After saying this, he closed his mouth and stopped talking, nor did he look at her, which made Zhong Qing feel like he was punching cotton.
After a long time, Duan Yi finished his cup of tea before he spoke: "How is it, how about Your Majesty and everyone?" ”
The thick eyebrows on Chu Muguozi's face frowned slightly, and he asked tentatively, "Then I don't know what the trading conditions of King Duan are?" ”
Duan Yi hooked his lips slightly and said with a smile: "Naturally, it is Da Chu's planting technique. ”
Hearing this, Chu Mu and the ministers present knew in their hearts that it was true that Nanli had Nanli's iron-smelting skills, so they would have Da Chu's planting technology, not to mention anything else, just in terms of grain and grass, they could definitely be said to be the best!
It's just that there is no food and grass but no corresponding troops, this problem is not a headache for the Great Chu Emperor for a day or two, relatively speaking, he can still accept the conditions offered by Duan Yi.
"Haha, it turns out that King Duan had such an idea, but I don't know how sincere it is?" Chu Mu laughed and said tentatively.
Duan Yi put away the smile on his face, stretched out his hand and hooked his finger towards Qingfeng, Qingfeng understood, and walked out of the Taihua Hall by himself.
Everyone looked at Duan Yi's actions in confusion and discussed what he meant.
Within a moment, Qingfeng walked in with a man dressed in gray linen, and Duan Yi saw this and stood up to introduce it to everyone.
"This is Nanli's iron refining master, named Fu Ding, he will represent Nanli's giver in exchange for Da Chu's planting technology, what does Your Majesty think?"
Chu Mu's expression perked up, and he turned his head sideways to ask the eunuch on the left side beside him, and the eunuch received the order, and he didn't know what to do when he withdrew without a trace.
After Duan Yi finished speaking, he sat down again, and his phoenix eyes pretended not to see Chu Mu's small movements, and waited for his reply in his position.
After a while, the eunuch came back and whispered a few words in Chu Mu's ear, Chu Mu smiled, it seems that His Highness's identity is indeed the same as Duan Yi said.
"Since King Duan is so sincere, it is not easy for me to shirk it, but this deal is not something that can be reached in a day or two......" At this point, Chu Mu did not continue, but looked at Duan Yi, wondering what his reaction was.
Duan Yi propped his temples and said, "This king also knows that you can't become a fat man by eating one bite, so this king's imperial uncle specially allows this king to stay in Dachu for three years until he returns from his studies." ”
The imperial uncle in his mouth is the emperor of Nanli, which everyone present knows, so it is not surprising, but he was surprised to hear him say that he would stay for three years, especially the final power, the face was not ordinary deep.
"In this way, I can rest assured, it is not too early now, I have prepared a reception banquet for King Duan, and I will also welcome you to move." With that, Chu Mu stood up and left the Taihua Palace.
The ministers followed, they knew that the emperor had specially set up a banquet in the Imperial Garden Palace in order to welcome Duan Yi, thinking that it was time for the banquet to begin.
On the way, the crown prince Chu Ying followed the emperor to the left, thinking about the transaction in the Taihua Palace just now, and the emperor saw what he meant, and asked him thoughtfully.
"The prince thinks Duan Yi's transaction has other purposes?"
Chu Ying's face tightened, and after organizing the language in his heart, he slowly spoke: "Erchen thinks that Duan Yi came to Da Chu this time specifically not for the cultivation technique so simple, and the purpose behind it may have other intentions. ”
He paused in his tone, and then said: "Erchen also learned that Duan Yi suffered an assassination on the way here, and the person behind this assassination turned out to be the prime minister of the country!" ”
Hearing this, the emperor raised his eyebrows in some surprise, what surprised him was not that he had the final power, but that he didn't know that his son had even found out about this, it seems that his eyeliner is very wide.
Sensing the emperor's small movements, Chu Ying's heart tightened, he was afraid that his words would make his father suspicious of him, and he couldn't help but regret what he had just said.
But the emperor didn't have any suspicions, he felt that as the crown prince, the future son of heaven, there was something extraordinary that he should do.
"It seems that your ultimate master and Duan Yi don't deal with each other, there must be something behind this." The emperor said as he walked that the final master in his mouth was also the final prime minister, and he was the prince's enlightenment mentor, and Chu Ying still had to call the final power teacher.
"It's better to hand over this deal with Nanli to the prince, be careful, it's best to let the final power fight with him lose!"
When the emperor said the word "final power", his tone became resentful in vain, in stark contrast to the gentle and elegant just arrived, but it was only for a moment, giving people a feeling of missight.
Chu Ying was slightly stunned, and then quickly received the order, he knew why his father hated the final power so much, because that person had occupied power for many years, resulting in Great Chu not making progress for so many years!
"The son will live up to his father's expectations!" He half-knelt down to accept the order, and the emperor who looked like that was happy for a while.
…………
Gosono Palace –
A banquet has been set up here, a dazzling array of delicacies and wine are served on the table, and the emperor and the ministers have already taken their seats.
As soon as Zhongqing came in, she was dazzled by this dazzling array of delicacies, she looked sideways, and there were several more men dressed in wealth on the table, dressed a little similar to the prince, thinking that they were some princes.
In addition to the emperor Chu Mu, there is another woman on the throne of the Imperial Garden Palace, and the woman is graceful and luxurious, with a kind face, and she wears an atmosphere without losing the rules.
"Hey, that's the Queen, right? Sure enough, it's a motherly look! Zhongqing poked Duan Yi and asked curiously.
"Yes, but it's just the surface." Duan Yi just glanced at it disdainfully and stopped looking, drinking wine to himself.
"Surface? What surface ......"
"Princess Hanyue has arrived!"
Before she could speak, a sharp voice suddenly sounded, interrupting her words.
Everyone looked for prestige, only to see a delicate woman wearing a smoke-pink palace dress and a white silk scarf.
"Hanyue has seen her father, the queen mother, the prince's brother and the ministers." The sound of silver bells ringing in the palace is ethereal and pleasant, and it makes people feel more comfortable to listen to.
Princess Hanyue bowed to the emperor and queen successively, and then saluted everyone politely, and when she saluted Duan Yi, her eyes stayed on him for a while, and then returned to normal.
The emperor smiled and raised his hand: "Hanyue is polite, get up, come on, give a seat!" ”
The eunuchs were not surprised to add an extra pair of tables, chairs, and chopsticks to the right side of the prince.
Zhong Qing was surprised, lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "Who is that princess?" I can come forward with such a scene! ”
Duan Yi saw that she was tired of standing and bowing her head and talking, so he simply pulled her to sit next to him, and replied: "Princess Hanyue is the emperor's favorite daughter, it is not surprising that she can have such treatment." ”
Zhongqing was forced to sit on the cushion, fortunately it was more spacious, and the two of them would not be very crowded to sit, she nodded, and understood in her heart.
The actions of the two quickly attracted the attention of others, and one of the princes seemed to be interested and asked, "Dare to ask what is the relationship between this prince and King Duan, so that he can sit on the same table?" ”
"Forehead......" Zhong Qing was speechless, and looked at the man next to him as if asking for help, but the man didn't pay attention to her as if he didn't see her eyes.
Headache, she doesn't want to be noticed, blame this person, what to do with her!
Just when Zhong Qing was about to open his mouth and do something casually, Duan Yi finally spoke.
He said, "Do the king's men have different intentions?" ”
As soon as this remark came out, many people looked sideways, and made Zhongqing blush, fortunately there was a mask to block it, otherwise she would have died of embarrassment!
"Unintentionally or unintentionally, King Duan is not strange." The three princes raised their glasses at him, drank them as if they were guilty, and then stopped talking to them.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little abnormal, Hanyue, who had just sat down for a short time, stood up at this time, bowed her waist slightly and said:
"Hanyue knew that his father was here to feast on Nanli's Duan Wangye, so he specially prepared a wide-sleeved fairy dance to catch the wind for the guests who came from afar."
When the emperor heard this, he raised his eyebrows with a little surprise and laughed: "Really? Hanyue has a heart, you have eyes, this wide-sleeved fairy is what Hanyue is best at! He said with the pride of being a parent in his tone.
Han Yue smiled modestly: "Father, don't exaggerate, I'm afraid that the 'guests' won't like it." ”
As she spoke, her eyes with girlish feelings quietly glanced at Duan Yi opposite, and her eyes unconsciously showed a trace of obsession, but it was quickly covered up.
I don't know if Zhongqing was dazzled, she just seemed to see that Princess Hanyue quietly put a charming eye on the man!
Hey, goosebumps are up, it's really a blue face! Zhong Qing shook his arm, and suddenly felt a little unnatural.
"Why, Hanyue's dancing skills are among the best in Dachu, I'm looking forward to it!" The emperor drank a glass of wine to cheer her up.
When Hanyue heard this, her delicate face became more and more ruddy, and she knelt down and said, "Then Hanyue will go and change her clothes first, and then give a dance to the 'guest'!" ”
The emperor waved his hand, and it was right!
