Chapter 399: Two Kings Appointed
When Xiao Rui returned to the palace, he didn't expect Xiao Yan to be waiting in the palace.
"Why are you running again?" Xiao Rui looked at Xiao Yan lying on his soft collapse, served by four maids, surrounded by fruits taken from the freezer, as well as snacks and tea, completely like the owner of this place.
Hey, as the owner of this place, I haven't been so corrupt!
Xiao Yan got up and said: "Don't mention it, getting married is really a grave, Xun'er is good, but the jealousy is a little strong, for fear that I will be contaminated with the maid, I dictated it before, and the maid ghostwrote for me, the red sleeves add fragrance, how comfortable, now it's good, I found a few big guys." Hey, my mood was instantly disturbed, and I didn't have any thoughts at all. ”
Xiao Rui rolled his eyes and said, "I don't have any idea, what are you doing here?" I still have something important to do, you hurry up and bastard, go home and accompany your daughter-in-law. ”
"Don't, Brother Seven, we can't be so ruthless!" Xiao Yan was lying on the soft collapse, and he had no intention of lifting his butt at all.
Xiao Rui expressed helplessness to him.
At this time, the chamberlain in the palace happened to send the golden dragon koi.
Xiao Yan immediately jumped up and surrounded him, looking at the golden dragon koi in the bucket, his eyes widened, and he shouted, "Seventh brother, you are so powerful!" Went to the Imperial Garden to steal my father's fish again? Wrong wrong! If you steal it, how can it be delivered by the palace attendant and eunuch himself? He doesn't have the guts! ”
Xiao Rui said proudly: "The weather is cold, and my father is afraid that I will be weak, so he gave me a fish to make soup!" ”
Xiao Yan looked confused and looked at Xiao Rui in a daze.
Xiao Rui continued: "Hey, you know, I actually don't like to eat fish!" ”
Xiao Yan: ??
Xiao Rui said again: "It's a pity that I can't postpone it, my father is determined to send it, so I can only reluctantly accept it!" ”
Xiao Yan: ......
In the end, Xiao Rui sighed with emotion: "Ninth brother, let's make soup for this golden dragon koi, anyway, there are eight tails in the fish pond in the Imperial Garden." So the next braised and the next steamed? No, no, the steamed taste is not good, and it is good to change it to barbecue! There is also salt baked and sauerkraut fish is also good..."
Xiao Yan looked helpless, hugged his fists and said: "My brother is convinced, convinced, farewell!" I have to go into the palace and ask if I'm biological! ”
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Xiao Rui stopped him and said with a smile: "This secret is still hidden in my heart, otherwise it would be embarrassing to say it!" ”
Xiao Yan: ...
He understands that in front of his seventh brother, he will always be the one who admits defeat.
"Brother Qi, why don't you let me stew this fish, I suddenly feel hungry!" Xiao Yan looked at the golden dragon koi, he didn't have a chance to drink the fish soup last time.
Xiao Rui summoned Gao Quan and asked him to put the golden dragon koi into the fish pond in the mansion, then glared at Xiao Yan and said, "Why don't you give you some water from the fish pond to drink?" There was a reason for the fish soup stew last time, so I can't mess around this time. ”
"Okay!" Xiao Yan sighed, full of unhappiness.
At this time, Guo Jia entered the mansion and said with a smile: "Your Highness, Your Royal Highness the King of Tang, the herald is here, come to His Royal Highness the King of Tang!" ”
"Looking for me? What are you looking for me for? As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, he suddenly realized the reason: "Seventh brother, my father has finally made an order!" ”
Xiao Rui nodded, it seemed that the will to transfer Xiao Yan to Hangzhou Assassin Shi had finally come down, and he immediately accompanied Xiao Yan to receive the order.
Sure enough, it was an appointment. It's just that I didn't expect His Majesty to delay it for too long, and it was issued so quickly.
Xiao Yan didn't have any money with him, so Xiao Rui could only take out the silver ticket and reward it to the herald. Xiao Rui made a generous move, and the herald immediately thanked him and said: "Thank you for the reward, Your Royal Highness King Xian and Your Royal Highness King Tang, the villain has to go back to the cabinet to restore his life." In addition, the person who went to the Chu Wangfu to deliver the decree should have almost finished the decree. ”
Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What will the King of Chu receive?" ”
The herald looked left and right, and there were no outsiders, so he said boldly: "Two highnesses, Your Majesty has appointed His Royal Highness the King of Chu as the assassin of Shuozhou!" ”
"What?" Xiao Yan was startled and called out directly.
Although Xiao Rui guessed, he didn't expect His Majesty to really make a move!
The fall of Xiguo Gong, the end of the Zhou family, coupled with the scandal of the side princess, and more importantly, the White Tiger Hou's participation in collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, coupled with Xiao Yiheng's performance, let His Majesty see his ability, and indeed did not take on the responsibility of the prince, so Xiao Yiheng was transferred out of Kyoto!
It's just that I didn't expect that Xiao Yan went to the rich Hangzhou, but he was Shuozhou, which was the border of the Xia State, directly bordering the Qi State, and once the two countries were at war, it would be a battlefield.
At this time, Xiao Rui suddenly remembered the prompt sound of the system in his mind.
"Congratulations to the host for getting better, the two princes have been eliminated, and the direct reward has come twice, and I hope the host will make persistent efforts!"
Xiao Rui's eyes suddenly lit up, his heart was very excited, and he said secretly: "It's really comfortable to come twice!" What can come this time? ”
But then, Xiao Rui frowned.
Originally, I wanted to eliminate Xiao Jing, so I eliminated three princes in a row, it was enjoyable, but who knew that His Majesty did not give himself a chance to work hard.
Not being able to eliminate Xiao Jing didn't make Xiao Rui feel worried, he was worried about Li Xiu'er!
Li Xiu'er is still nominally the princess of Chu, if the king of Chu goes to Shuozhou, won't he have to follow her? No, Xiao Rui can't let Li Xiu'er go there, he must stop this!
Xiao Yan on the side watched Xiao Rui's expression change, and he was very moved in his heart, and said: "Seventh brother, you don't have to worry about me, Hangzhou is so close to Kyoto, I can come back to see you at any time!" ”
Xiao Rui came back to his senses, looked at him and blinked.
"Oh! Yes, when you go, the two of us brothers can't see each other often, and my brother is very sad in his heart! Xiao Rui responded, in fact, he wanted to applaud in his heart, and quickly send you away as a funny guy.
Xiao Yan was moved to moisten the corners of his eyes, and said sincerely: "Seventh Brother is so good to me!" It's not in vain that the younger brother portrayed the holy monk Xiao Qirui so perfectly, just like the copy of the seventh brother! ”
Xiao Rui: ...
Next, Xiao Rui didn't have time to accompany him to cultivate brotherhood, because the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple sent someone to invite King Xian, and Ye Wendao suddenly urgently wanted to see Xiao Rui.
It seems that Ye Wendao has already known about the Yuan State's attack on the Qi State, and he is in a hurry to see him, it must be that the Qi Emperor wants to reach a certain equal consensus with the Xia State in order to seek stability on the southern border!
So Xiao Rui immediately returned to the Honglu Temple Annex.
At the same time, news of two edicts spread through Kyoto.
Xiao Yiheng sat there stupidly with the holy decree in his hand, looking sluggish and sluggish.
"Father... Father... The sons are descendants, and the other six countries in the Shenzhou Continent are all appointed as princes, this is the rule, why is the Xia Kingdom different? Why? ”
"Is it because you are not a descendant and your throne is fought for, so let us fight? Is this the one you admire? ”
"I'm not convinced! I'm not convinced! ”
……
Xiao Yiheng lost his soul, he didn't want to admit that he was defeated, he didn't want to escape from Kyoto in such an embarrassment!
At this moment, the steward of the palace came in cautiously and said, "Your Highness, the queen has sent someone to say that you are invited to the palace to pay a visit." ”
Xiao Yiheng's gaze was focused, he came back to his senses, and said: "Yes, this king is going to see his mother, she is the queen, she is the mother of a country, she will definitely be able to ask her father to take back her fate!" ”
After that, Xiao Yiheng didn't care about his appearance and hurriedly entered the palace.
For other princes, the elimination of King Chu was both a joy and a heavy awakening. After all, even the queen's concubines were ruthlessly eliminated, so what about the others?
All in all, some people in Kyoto at this time were happy and some were sad.
At this time, Xiao Rui had already returned to the annex of Honglu Temple and met Ye Wendao and Ye Qianqian, and the two had important matters to meet with Xiao Rui.
Ye Wendao's face was slightly solemn, and he went straight to the point, and said: "His Royal Highness King Xian, the Ming people don't say dark words, presumably your country has received the news that the Yuan Dynasty has invaded our country in a big way. The king has just received a credential from his lord, and he has ordered him to negotiate with your country in depth, hoping to ensure peaceful coexistence on the border between the two countries. ”
It seems that because Ye Qianqian is here, Ye Wendao uses an official identity.
Since this is the case, Xiao Rui is completely different from giving face, and said: "It's okay to have in-depth negotiations!" But during this time, the performance of your embassy does not look like it wants to have in-depth negotiations! ”
At this time, Ye Qianqian said with a smile: "The front belongs to exchanges, because of the difference in culture and customs between the two countries, there is naturally friction, and now our Qi country has a correct attitude, and we really hope to ensure the peaceful coexistence of the two countries, and I also hope that His Royal Highness King Xian can understand our intentions!" ”
Xiao Rui nodded and asked again, "King Yejun and Princess Sissi, can you really make decisions on behalf of Your Majesty?" ”
"Yes!" Ye Qianqian nodded.
Ye Wendao smiled and nodded.
Xiao Rui immediately understood that once it came to the real negotiations, Emperor Qi still didn't believe Ye Wendao very much, but handed over the decision-making power to his sister-in-law, Ye Qianqian.
"I don't know what conditions your country needs our country to pay in order to keep the border peaceful and friendly?" Ye Qianqian asked rhetorically: "I don't know if His Royal Highness King Xian has decision-making power?" ”
Xiao Rui looked at Ye Qianqian, and saw that she was behind the army, and the corners of her mouth were smiling.
"Of course there is decision-making power! If today's discussion is good, you can finalize the content of the alliance on the spot! Xiao Rui said.
Ye Qianqian admired: "Your Majesty really trusts His Royal Highness King Xian, okay!" Can Your Highness tell me the conditions? ”
In fact, even if the Qi State does not form an alliance with the Xia State, the Xia State will not do the act of attacking the Qi State behind the back, this is the integrity and virtue of the Xia Emperor, I want to beat you, absolutely justifiable, disdain to take advantage of the fire to rob! But Qi Guo is afraid, so he would rather spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
So this time it was Xia Guo who took the initiative.
But compared to the alliance with the Yan State, there is indeed nothing that the Xia State needs in the territory of the Qi State! As for the greater benefits requested, it is impossible for Qi Guo to agree to it!
So this involves a degree.
It can not only make Qi Guo accept, but also not make Qi Guo feel too lost.
Xiao Rui immediately began to pretend: "Don't hide it from Princess Qianqian, there is nothing in your country that is worth asking for in our Xia Kingdom!" ”
That's right, that's how arrogant!
Ye Wendao nodded in agreement: "Although the Qin State of the Shenzhou Continent is the strongest, if it is rich, there is really no country that can compare to the Xia Kingdom!" In particular, the craftsmen of your country, the strongest of the seven countries, the only restriction is the ore, which has greatly restricted your country in the past, coupled with the struggle of your country's magnates, so that your country's territory has lost most of its territory, and it can be said that your country's former weakness is lost in the hands of your own people. But today, Your Majesty's civil and martial arts have amazing means, not only recovering the lost land, but also creating a thriving Xia country, and now even the shortcomings of the shortage of ore have been eliminated, admiration and admiration. ”
Ye Qianqian also had to nod in agreement, but she still had to say: "Although your country is strong, I also believe that there must be something worth needing." ”
"I want Makino Ranch!" After Xiao Rui thought about it, he put forward the only request.
Muye Ranch, a natural grassland pasture on the border between Xia and Qi, can raise 100,000 good horses in captivity, so the two countries are unwilling to give each other, and now the two sides are divided into land, but Qi occupies sixty percent, Xia only three percent, and the middle one percent is a hollow zone. Why are there so few Xia Kingdoms? Or is it because eighty percent of the range of Muye Ranch is within the territory of Qi State, in other words, Xia Country has taken advantage.
His Majesty once used the Muye Ranch to study the prince's studies, and Xiao Rui still remembers that the strategy he gave at that time was to open up the mountains connecting Kunlun to the west, dig canyons and rivers, and flood the pastures when the time comes, inflicting heavy damage on the Qi State.
At that time, Xiao Rui's method coincided with the champion Hou, but later, considering the amount of construction and the fact that it was not yet the time to meet the soldiers of the Qi State, this method was not implemented on a large scale, but simply sent people to carefully detect the terrain.
"No way!" Ye Qianqian immediately refused.
Her attitude was expected by Xiao Rui, who added: "Five years! This king only needs five years of management, and after five years, the Makino Ranch will return to its current state. ”
Ye Qianqian and Ye Wendao glanced at each other, and Ye Wendao nodded.
Ye Qianqian said: "Five years is impossible!" Two years! ”
Xiao Rui sneered: "How many good horses can I raise in two years?" A good horse doesn't last forever in two years! Four years! This king takes a step back! ”
"Three years! This is my deadline! Ye Qianqian said resolutely.
Xiao Rui sighed and said, "Princess Sissi will really bargain!" Good! Just three years! ”
Ye Qianqian felt that she had suffered a loss, so she said: "It's no problem for Muye Ranch to be handed over to your country for three years, but in these three years, Xia Country cannot invade our Qi country, I hope the two countries can issue a letter of alliance!" ”
"Absolutely! But if your country takes the initiative to invade the Xia country, then our Xia country cannot sit idly by! Xiao Rui reminded.
Ye Qianqian nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
Xiao Rui smiled: "That's a happy cooperation!" This king will now enter the palace and return to my majesty, and bring the state letter with him when he returns. ”
"Trouble His Royal Highness." Ye Qianqian and Ye Wendao watched Xiao Rui leave.
Xiao Rui only went to the palace in the morning, and hurriedly entered the palace in the afternoon.
Just past noon, I saw Xiao Yiheng.
It's just that what Xiao Rui didn't expect was that Xiao Yiheng was depressed, and he didn't see Xiao Rui, and walked straight past Xiao Rui, and the inner attendant who led the way beside him deliberately scolded Xiao Rui and said respectfully: "Back to His Royal Highness King Xian, after His Royal Highness the King of Chu saw the queen, maybe because he was about to leave Beijing, he was reluctant, so he didn't see His Highness." ”
"The king of Chu is here to see the queen's mother? Didn't you go to see Your Majesty? Xiao Rui asked.
The chamberlain said respectfully: "I asked to see Your Majesty, but Your Majesty didn't see you, and then I went to Changchun Palace." ”
Xiao Rui nodded, for a prince who was once glorious, he has encountered the great changes now, and he is not depressed!
At this time, the chamberlain said softly: "Your Highness, yesterday the queen asked to see Your Majesty, and it seems that she was reprimanded. ”
Now, as Xiao Rui's power has skyrocketed, these palace attendants also know how to observe words and befriend Xiao Rui. And these messages are not classified, there is nothing to say.
Xiao Rui smiled, it seems that Zhou Xiangyun is going to intercede, the more she pleads, the more disappointed His Majesty is. His Majesty did not implicate her because of the White Tiger Hou case, he had already given her face as a queen, but she still didn't understand the situation, which meant that there was a problem with her vision.
