Besides, since Jia Ke got the beauty of Xue Baoqin, he often stays in Xue Baochai's Zhongcui Palace these days.

Sometimes they even put the two sisters in the same bed and let them work together.

Jia Ke had only been happy for a few days when he received a report that the Tatar envoy had entered the imperial city and settled in the Imperial Court.

After Jia Ke received the report, he did not immediately meet with the Tatar envoy, but sent Fan Kang, the minister of military aircraft, to meet with him.

Fan Kang got Jia Ke's will, and the next day he brought people to the Lifan Courtyard.

Wu Long, the head of the Li Fan Academy, is a subordinate promoted by Fan Kang since he took over the Ministry of Rites, and he can be regarded as Fan Kang's cronies.

Wu Long heard the report from his subordinates, saying that Fan Kang was here, and he didn't even have time to bring his hat, so he hurriedly ran out of the lobby and came to the door of the Li Fan Yuan.

Before Wu Long came to the door, he saw that Fan Kang had already entered the barber salon and came to the lobby.

Wulong hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Fan Kang: "Xiaguan Wulong, I have seen Lord Shangshu." ”

"No need to be polite, let me ask you, how is the arrangement of the Tatar envoy?"

"If you go back to your lordship, I have already arranged for him to be in the Huitong Shizekan (the state guesthouse in ancient times), and the adults want to see him, and I will lead the way for the adults in front."

"In that case, take me to meet these messengers."

So Wu Long led the way in front, and Fan Kang followed closely behind, so he left the Riban Courtyard and went to the Huitong Size Pavilion near the Riban Temple.

When they entered the Huitong Size Pavilion, they turned left and entered a small and elaborate courtyard, the Tatar messenger Odengeril.

Ao Denggeril was anxiously waiting for Jia Ke's reception in the middle of the view, but he didn't know that he had lived in these days and no one came to summon him, and he was anxious there.

On this day, I suddenly received a report from the small maid in the museum, and Fan Kang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came to visit.

As soon as he heard it, Ao Denggeril understood that this was a prelude for Jia Ke to meet him, because since Jia Ke wanted to meet him, he naturally had to ask about the ins and outs, so he sent someone over to find out his tone.

Ao Denggeril did not neglect to come, he hurried out of the small courtyard, and saw Fan Kang waiting for him there with a smile.

So Ao Deng Geril hurriedly stepped forward to salute Fan Kang, "In the Lower Tatar Envoy Ao Deng Geril, I have seen Lord Da Yan Shangshu Fan. ”

Fan Kang hurriedly stepped forward to give him a salute in return, and then the two of them said a few polite words at the door, and then entered the small courtyard together.

Fan Kang sat in the middle of the main hall in the small courtyard, and Ao Denggeril could only accompany him on the side, and then the next person brought fragrant tea, and the two of them each took a sip, and then began to talk.

"I have not communicated with the Tatars for many years, and I don't know what the envoy is doing when he comes to my court this time."

As soon as Ao Denggeril heard this, he knew that it was a meat play, "Fan Shangshu doesn't know, over the years, you and I have been fighting for many years, and it can be said that the lives are ruined, and my Khan can't bear to continue to suffer the people of the two countries, so he sent me to make peace with his followers." I hope that you and I will build a war from now on, and the people of the two countries will be at peace. ”

Fan Kang nodded silently after hearing this, and then said: "Over the years, the two countries have been at war, not only the burden of the imperial court is very heavy, but even the people of the two countries on the border have suffered a lot. ”

As soon as Ao Denggeril heard Fan Kang's meaning, he understood that he also agreed to the reconciliation between the two countries, so he said while the iron was hot: "Lord Fan is really far-sighted, and this time I have brought sincerity to the Khan. ”

Fan Kang was interested when he heard him say this, what kind of sincerity did this Tatar bring to the table? Is it a land reparation, or a tribute every year.

"Lord Fan, my Khan heard that Emperor Dayan has a younger sister who has reached adulthood, but she is not married, and my Khan is willing to marry the princess and be the queen of my Great Tatar."

Fan Kang thought about it after hearing it, and felt that this was not bad, since ancient times, in order to appease the grassland, the Central Plains Dynasty often married its own princess to the lord of the grassland as the queen.

If Jia Ke can marry his sister to Arslen Khan, he can be regarded as being able to temporarily appease the other party, and when the Central Plains is ready, he can go north in one fell swoop.

"What the envoy said is that if this matter becomes a good thing for you and me, then you and I will be in-laws from now on, and we will help each other, so how can the countries of the four directions not be shocked?"

"Since your Excellency thinks so, then please ask your Excellency to say a lot of kind words in front of Emperor Dayan, so that I can complete my mission."

"You stay in the hall for a while, and when I have news, I will send someone to inform you immediately."

After finishing speaking, Fan Kang was about to leave, Ao Denggeril is also a dexterous person, how could he just let Fan Kang leave empty-handed.

So he hurriedly asked Fan Kang to stop for a while, and Ao Denggeri entered the inner house, and after a while, he took out a wooden box, held it in front of the battle and handed it to Fan Kang with both hands, and said: "A little gadget from the Western Regions is not a tribute, Lord Fan will take it back and play with the children in the house." ”

Fan Kang didn't shirk either, and after taking the box, he smiled with satisfaction, and then left the Huitong Size Pavilion.

Ao Denggeril was relieved to see Fan Kang leaving, if this Ministry of Rites Shangshu coveted the expensive gifts he gave, and said to Jia Ke that it would be best to marry the princess to the grassland.

You must know that sending the princess of Arslen Khan to the Central Plains was a private calculation between him and Meng He, wanting to make raw rice for mature rice, if he really reached such an agreement this time, he didn't know how to explain it to their Great Khan after he went back.

Fan Kang left the Huitong Size Pavilion and sat in a sedan chair to go directly to the palace.

Then Fan Kang opened the box in his hand, and at this glance, he saw that the jewels contained in it were all diamonds, and one was even the size of a quail egg.

This box of things is rare even in the Central Plains, and it can't be bought without hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. I didn't expect this ant to be so big.

But Fan Kang didn't dare to hide it privately, and Fan Kang didn't need to take risks, he now received more than 100,000 Bing Jing carbon gifts every year, plus the field decoration shop he purchased, the total annual income was more than 200,000 yuan, there was no need to hate the emperor because of this little thing.

Fan Kang took the official sedan chair to the Wu Dynasty Gate, got off the sedan chair here, and walked to the front of the Yangxin Palace.

The eunuch in front of the Heart Cultivation Hall didn't dare to slack off when he saw that Fan Kang was coming, so he hurriedly reported him inside, and after a while, news came from inside, asking Fan Kang to go in to see the driver.

Fan Kang was led by the eunuch to the East Warm Pavilion next to the Heart Cultivation Palace, where Jia Ke had been working during this time.

When Jia Ke saw Fan Kang coming in, he put down the jade pen in his hand and asked with a smile, "Why didn't the Tatars let you run away in vain this time?" ”

As soon as Fan Kang heard Jia Ke's words, a cold sweat broke out on his body, could it be that every word and deed of himself and the Tatar envoy just now were under the surveillance of the secret guards, otherwise, how could the emperor know that the Tatars had given him a wooden box.

So Fan Kang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and raised the wooden box in his hand above his head.

"Long live the Lord, Shengming is alone, and nothing can be hidden from your old man's eyes."

Jia Ke didn't mean to blame Fan Kang, he first asked Li Gui to take the wooden box handed over by Fan Kang, and then ordered Fan Kang to stand up.

Li Gui took the wooden box and gently sent it to Jia Ke's imperial case.

Jia Ke opened the wooden box and saw that it was a box of diamonds, several of which were very huge, if it were in modern times, each of these large diamonds would be priceless.

After Jia Ke finished reading the wooden box, he raised his head and asked Fan Kang: "What does the Tatar envoy mean when he comes to us this time?" ”

"Long live the lord, Arslen Khan seems to have been scared by the long live lord this time, the Tatars should not have recovered their vitality during this time, so they came to ask the long live lord for peace."

Jia Ke listened and nodded, this was also the opinion he and Fan Kang agreed on yesterday.

"Arslen Khan is really a hero, able to bend and stretch. If I were in his position, I am afraid I would not have made up my mind as easily as he did. ”

Fan Kang also sighed that Arslen Khan was really the emperor's opponent, and he was able to put down his face and sue for peace like the emperor.

"Then what are the conditions for them to come this time?"

"Back to Long live, Arslen Khan's only condition this time is that he wants to marry Princess Tanchun, the sister of Long Live Lord."

Jia Ke's face changed when he heard this, Jia Ke thought that this time the Tatars would definitely give gifts when they came to sue for peace, but he didn't expect to marry his sister Jia Tanchun instead.

Although Fan Kang is resourceful, he is an ancient man after all, and his thinking has not jumped out of the circle of ancient times, so he doesn't think it's inappropriate for Jia Tanchun to marry a Tatar.

But Jia Ke has received a modern education since he was a child, and he regards harmony as a great shame, which Fan Kang, an ancient person, could not understand.

And Fan Kang didn't notice Jia Ke's dissatisfaction, and was still chattering at the bottom, if he could succeed this time, he would be able to prepare equipment and food for Jia Ke, and when the time came, several soldiers would march together, and they would definitely be able to reproduce the holy act of chasing the Xiongnu thousands of miles north when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in the north.

The more Jia Ke listened, the more troublesome he became, and he kept a shot on the imperial case, "Enough, don't say it again." ”

Fan Kang, who was angry at Jia Ke's end, immediately stopped talking, and only then did he look up and see that Jia Ke's face was already red and bruised.

Although Fan Kang didn't know what provoked Jia Ke, as a courtier, he could only kneel down and ask Jia Ke for forgiveness now.

Jia Ke didn't let Fan Kang stand up this time, he walked down the imperial case and came to Fan Kang, looked down at him and said: "I always thought that you were a famous minister in the world, but I didn't expect to see you wrong this time, do you know how long the princess can live when she goes to Saiwai since ancient times?" Do you know how much this princess has to suffer outside the fortress? ”

Fan Kang, who asked these few words, was speechless.

Jia Ke then hated that iron could not become steel and said: "I, Dayan, rule the world with courtesy, and subdue the countries with the power of soldiers, but I will never use women to stabilize the borders. ”

Fan Kang only knew what Jia Ke meant after hearing this, and now his face was flushed.

"The minister is wrong, please long live the punishment."

Jia Ke silently sat back on the throne, and then said: "This time you are ignorant, I will not punish you, and you must not mention the princess and relatives in the future." ”
